To the west of the river valley, the Misty Swamp.

In the thick fog, I could only vaguely feel the alternation of light and darkness, and when I looked up, the blazing summer sun was hazy after passing through the fog, like a fried egg yolk.

Thinking of this, Illo felt hungry again.

"How much more do we have to eat?" he asked Kashiki behind him.

"Are you hungry again?" Bai Ji looked at him helplessly, and said, "It's okay to get lost, we can find it slowly, but you have to stop to eat every day after walking a few steps, and you shout to camp and rest when it's still dawn...... I really wonder, how did the regimental commander put up with you before?"

"It's really his order, let me finish as slowly as possible. Illo said earnestly, but in Bai Ji's eyes, he seemed even more shameless.

"Forget it, the head of the regiment is not here anyway, there is no proof of death," Bai Ji threw over a bag of dry food and instructed, "Save some food, we don't have much dry food with us." ”

"It's all right," Illo said, glancing around, "if we don't have dry food, we'll hunt, and we'll never starve." ”

"What's there to hunt in this place?" Bai Ji glanced around at the hot and humid surroundings, and the unique wriggling flesh worms and strange reptiles of the swamp made her sick.

"This kind of insect roast is actually quite delicious, with a soft meat feeling. Illo ate on the dry food and stomped a flesh worm to death, bursting into a fishy green cloud of viscous liquid.

"Forehead......" Bai Ji dodged a step and shook his head, really having nothing to say.

"Aren't you a barbarian?" Illo looked at her in a puzzled manner, "you should be accustomed to this kind of thing. ”

"You're used to it," Bai Ji looked at him indignantly, "I'm a barbarian, yes, but I'm not an ogre. ”

"Is that so......" Illo said as he gulped down his dry food and pondered for a while. "It seems that in the Barbarian Kingdom, you are not from a low background. ”

Bai Ji snorted and didn't speak.

Illo just wanted to ask, but suddenly felt a deadly aura in his heart, but Bai Ji beside him was still unaware.

There is no room for it. Illo sprang sideways and kicked Bai Ji away, kicking her far away. A roll, Illo landed nimblely, the longbow behind his back flipped into his hand, bent the bow and arrows, and shot out three times.

There was nothing as far as the eye could see, but where the two of them were standing just now, a boulder smashed the ground with juice splashing. Obviously, the amount of force contained in it is enormous. Bai Ji stood up and glanced at Illo, the spear in his hand raised slightly, and his heart was quite frightened.

There was a terrible silence in the fog on all sides.

"It must be an ogre...... "Illo whispered as he approached Pakki.

Bai Ji nodded, and the two of them scanned their surroundings alertly, trying to find out where the attacker was hiding.

The morning sun is scattered. The sound of the horn echoed far away.

Allegri yawned and walked out of the room. When it was safe to do so, he had always slept well. Needless to say, in the magic tower, there are 2,000 people around to protect it now, and it is even more peaceful to sleep all night without dreams.

"Up?" said Cyrell with a smile.

"Ah, Cyrell," Allegri nodded, looking around. The training had already begun, and he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Are you unable to stay still in the office?"

"This ...... It's been too long, it's boring. Cyrell scratched her head in embarrassment. Yesterday at dinner she had also heard of the drunkenness of the little barbarians in the office, and it was her negligence.

"Yes, I was going to send Bai Ji to replace you a few days ago, but Illo had to carry out a mission with her, so it was delayed, and she could still control those guys. Allegri shook his head helplessly, frowning at what to do.

"Actually, the left-behind personnel of the office don't need to be very powerful," Sayyl suggested, "and it's really hard for these barbarians to deal with people." ”

"The mercenary group has just expanded, and there are still many things that cannot be taken into account," Allegri nodded, "When they are settled, they will be re-selected, and I will turn some mercenaries who have no martial arts or magical talents into non-combatants." But before that, you should replace it for the time being. ”

After finalizing the issue of the Office, Allegri and Dios began to discuss the issue of a phased withdrawal. Arranged in batches and preliminarily selected, it took more than a day.

When everything was settled, Allegri was about to return to the valley with the first batch of mercenaries and was about to set out, but the dwarf Hoel came to him, and the Onesha messenger office said that he wanted to see him.

After learning about the rumors, Allegri was a little embarrassed and puzzled when he saw her again.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still decided not to be so casual as last time, and said respectfully,

"Your Royal Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Your Excellency, please be seated," Seeing Allegri's performance, Onesha's face did not have a satisfied look, but was a little lost, she waved her hand and greeted indifferently, "The issue of the 'Flywheel' merchant group opening a transportation route is basically passed, you can go back and prepare well." If the membership system on the side of the merchant group meets the requirements, the line can be gradually opened, but you still need to pay more attention to ensure the absolute safety of the 'Path of the Light'. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Allegri nodded, happy that this was another considerable income.

"Okay, you go down, the relevant documents will be sent to you by the Ministry of Government Affairs soon. Onisha waved her hand, her expression still cold, and she had no desire to say a word to Allegrido.

Allegri stood up, ready to say goodbye, but he always felt very strange. He thought, his steps slowing down.

After taking two steps, he suddenly shook his head, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Is there really nothing wrong with you here?"

"What's the matter?" Onisha was stunned, and the expression on her face didn't have time to change.

"Rumors or something. Allegri looked around and saw that there was no one.

"Even you know what to say?" The window paper was pierced, and Onessa no longer concealed it, he frowned a little distressed.

"Almost everybody knows it?" complained Allegri, carefully closing the door of his study, "and this is a serious denigration to my reputation. Stresses me out. ”

"I'm more stressed," Onisha sighed, "and sure enough, I'm still thinking too much about politics." ”

"Do you need me to lead the soldiers?" Allegri suggested himself.

"Just your baby soldiers......" Now that Allegri already knew, Onisha let it go, and she smiled bitterly. "It's not that I don't have an army, but they can't deal with it at all. ”

"But you're the Grand Duke of Anlan, they won't deal with you so blatantly, right?" Allegri leaned over and sat down, frowning.

"It's going to make things worse. When the Church of Light annexed our country, the power of the royal family was greatly damaged, and I was the only one who survived among the direct blood relatives, and my ruling power was not as good as before. When the country was first restored, the situation was not stable, and they did not dare to act rashly, but now. Alas......" Onisha explained softly, "of course, our family has a high prestige among the people, and they can only try to override me in political power. But even though I was in control of the army, I couldn't find any leverage for them, so I could only watch them deal with me. ”

"What are they going to do to you?" Allegri asked.

"The nobility and bureaucracy have put out a representative, my squire officer Andre," Onessa sighed. "He came from a large aristocratic family, and the officials wanted to force me to marry him. Bloodless control of the principality. These so-called rumors should be one of the plans to force me. ”

"That's a bit too despicable, isn't it?" Allegri scratched his head, "Do you need my help?"

"You?" Onissa looked at him deeply, shook her head, and said frankly, "I didn't expect them to be so impatient. Originally, I wanted to vigorously support you to cultivate the power to balance them, but now...... Forget it. ”

Allegri shrugged, unconcerned about the so-called "exploitation", and repeated for a long time, "That's right. What's that guy you're talking about, called Ender?"

"Andrey. Before Onisha could finish speaking, there was a crisp knock on the door, and a rather magnetic voice came in, "Your Highness, the attendant Andre asks to see you." ”

Onesha spread her hands and gestured, "Look, he's been so unscrupulous." ”

Allegri nodded, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Onisha.

"Come in. Onisha straightened her outfit and shouted.

The handsome and tall Andrei pushed the door in, pretending to be surprised as if he didn't know that Allegri was inside, "Your Excellency, you are actually here?"

"You're Andrey?" Allegri smiled as he stood up, scrutinizing him.

"It's down there," Andre nodded, ignoring him and walking straight to Onesha, "This document needs to be signed by Your Highness." ”

"Okay, you'll get it later. Onesha put it aside.

"That subordinate has retired," Andre bowed slightly, glanced at Onisha and Allegri with a smile, and asked involuntarily, "Your Excellency, Your Highness is about to review the documents, ...... you?"

"Oh, oh," Allegri beckoned, pretending to be in a state of realization, "Then I'll go too, Onisha." ”

Andre next to him suddenly stared, and the smile on his lips gradually became cold.

"Let's go, Andrey, together. Allegri didn't care about his stiff expression, greeted him quite familiarly, and walked out with him on his shoulder.

Onesha woke up from her stunned demise and wondered what kind of medicine was being sold in Allegri's gourd.

"Your Excellency, please watch your conduct. As soon as he walked out of the door of the study, André pulled Allegri's hand around his neck and gritted his teeth.

"Look at your face changing, it's really fast, why don't we have a meal together and exchange feelings?" Allegri grinned, unimpressed.

"It's just the first time we've met, so we're not that acquainted, right?" Andre said coldly.

"Although it is only the first time we have met, Your Excellency's heavenly court is full of square circles, and there is a faint purple light between your eyes, which shows that you are extremely talented," Allegri said, "Since you are so talented, why don't you come and learn to cook with me."
