"Far away in the imperial capital, Your Majesty is over sixty years old, and he hasn't summoned a foreign minister for half a month, do you know what it means." Tius asked.

"Take sides." Jiang Yuan frowned, no wonder the Tius family was in ruins, the earl couldn't withstand the wind and waves in this turmoil, and it was normal for the nobles to fall like wheat.

"Left Minister Mully, Right Minister Earnest, I have a hunch that one of them will hold great power in the future, the two are currently in the imperial capital, and every year the northern alien people will go south, consume the population or plunder money and grain, this winter hunt is in charge of General Estes of the Ornest faction, but Mully has hinted that the nobles of the Northland must not provide support, I am still hesitating." Tius said.

"You don't have a good opinion of Ornest?" Jiang Yuan asked, "But this is not enough to determine the judgment, there must be more important reasons." ”

Tius bowed his head and continued, "With the large number of cavalry of the alien races in the north, coupled with the influence of the Great Cold Wave, the scale of this southward journey is estimated to be unprecedented, and Estes has just been promoted to the rank of general, and combined with her past performance, I suspect that she intends to venture out to prove herself. ”

"You don't think well of her." Jiang Yuan summed it up simply.

"Yes, Berkshire is a little far from the four fortress counties, even if we win, we won't be able to eat much slaves and war horses, I don't see the benefits, but I have to take a huge risk, if it weren't for the factional struggle, I would have clearly refused." Tius sighed.

"So what you were going me to do." Jiang Yuan asked, he couldn't directly tell the other party that Earnest would win the final victory, because judgment without factual basis could only be regarded as speculation, and this kind of paper talk could not convince a real earl.

"Get married, so that even if the House of Tius falls, it will be reborn in you." Tiustu saw that some children must not be screwed up.

Jiang Yuan: "......"

Should I say that he is worthy of being a nobleman, this guy has never forgotten the purpose of the conversation at the beginning.

"You should have considered letting me participate in the winter hunt, this is the only way not to stand in line and not suffer attention and blows, the Tius family sent people to fight, but they are not the head of the family, as long as my character is rebellious and domineering, no matter what the result is afterwards, it is easy for all parties to accept, after all, all men participate in the war, which is too harsh for the earl's family."

"I did." "But war is not a child's play, if I take the initiative, I will inevitably associate it with the rumors of the outside world, and the danger of death will cause a rift in the trust between us, which is also the plot of the people behind the rumors, whether it is to send you to the battlefield or to divide us, the other side will not lose." ”

After speaking, the earl's face was no longer gentle, but became extremely serious, "Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable, you have to consider the possibility that I really want to take the opportunity to kill you, including this reminder, maybe it is just a sincerity with malicious intentions, I can't tell you what I really think, because after the words blurt out, I can no longer express my heart, in the final analysis, there are still countesses in the world." ”

An eerie atmosphere spreads between the two, trust and suspicion go hand in hand, and it is difficult to be swayed by words alone, which is an unapproachable distance.

"At this stage, I need merit and fame for the outside world, and the rest is just difficulties and accessories at most, but I won't use your people, and the risks really have to be avoided." Jiang Yuan's tone was flat.

"My brother is really good." Tius had a mixed expression, a mixture of relief and disappointment, and Noel chose to support but not trust, adapting to certain laws of nobility on the first day of the rite of passage.

"I want to see your collection of books, and I see different things from different perspectives." Jiang Yuan said.

"Of course you can, but before that, I want to ask, do you like knives?" Tius said suddenly.

"All weapons are tools, I don't like it or not, I won't refuse anyone if it's useful."

Tius has a bit of a headache, being too rational can sometimes make people unapproachable, and he has begun to worry about Knor's marriage.

"A thousand years ago, in order to maintain his rule for a long time, the founding king of the empire summoned the world's top alchemists with unimaginable wealth and power, and used the legendary super dangerous species as materials, plus rare metals such as Olihagang and a large number of lost secret arts, to develop forty-eight weapons that cannot be copied, and called them imperial tools."

Tius stood up and took down the long knife hanging from the wall behind him, which was carefully packaged to look like an ornament.

"Four hundred years ago, the Lord of Zhongxing wanted to reproduce this great cause, but only the afterglow of alchemy remained in that era, and the final weapon was far less powerful than the emperor's tool, so he could only reluctantly name it after the courtier."

Tius handed over the long knife.

"Our ancestor was one of the alchemists involved in the production of the utensils four hundred years ago, and he did not have the ability to surpass the times, but after spying on the mysteries of the imperial tools, he attached a bloodline certification that belongs to Tius on this family heirloom imperial tool, no matter where this knife falls, it will eventually return to the bloodline of Tius, and the outside world knows this, so there are few people who covet it.

March of the Dead: Eight Rooms, it is a reward for your support of me, and the beginning of our trust. ”

"You don't need it." Jiang Yuan took the march of the deceased, this imperial tool resembled a sword, with a black scabbard with a jade texture, and the handle was rectangular, with intricate patterns carved on it.

"The user's first impression of the Tei Gu is extremely important, I only saw it after my parents died, I was young, I didn't like it because of the name, I can't force it, even if I need its power." Tius said, "The current empire reminds me of the old men, who will perish when they decay, and the glory of the family may be reborn in the midst of change, and for this I will do my best to keep myself free from suspicion, jealousy, and resentment, especially you." ”

"You seem to have high expectations of me."

"Because I know I can't do it, I can only do it."

Jiang Yuan took out the march of the dead, whether it was the emperor himself or the bloodline certification, he did not refuse him, for the latter, since the Star Gate gave him this identity, he would not even be able to do this little thing.

"You're the emperor's envoy." Tius spoke in an inexplicable tone.

"It's a good fit." Jiang Yuan replied that he himself had died many times, and now he was able to move freely, and his initial impression was good, there was no reason why this knife should not respond, in a sense, he was the dead man on the march.

After killing an enemy in the Dead Man's March, Hachifang, the curse will turn the corpse into a puppet and manipulate it, up to eight at the same time, the state and ability of the puppet are the same as before the death and can be stored in the space inside the knife, the weakness is that the more puppets are manipulated, the greater the physical consumption of the holder, and the puppet will become an ordinary corpse after disarming the ability.
