Greetings in verse two hundred and one

The night was peaceful. They entered as allies, so they were foreigners, but they were well received by the residents. The local officials also provided them with additional provisions. At this moment, a fat sheep hung on the campfire in front of Beller. With the rotation of the roast fork, from time to time, grease drips from the roast sheep and falls into the campfire. The smell of barbecue fills the air.

A dozen officers and a local officer accompanied Bellor as they drank beer and chatted as they waited for the barbecue to be completed. It must be said that because Bayral had come to help him once before, he was actually quite famous in the country and could be regarded as widely admired.

"I heard that General Bayrell has been unwell lately?" the local official asked suddenly. He's sitting next to Bayer, so he can see how Beller is doing — well, no matter how you look at it, Beller doesn't look sick.

"The king's fate is in his body, and he doesn't dare to shirk. Bayral lightly blocked the topic. On the surface, he answered, but in fact he didn't say whether he was sick or not.

"My lord, I heard about what happened in the city of Fornoros......" Robin leaned in from the side, taking the conversation to another angle. He had noticed that the local official was not very drinkable, so although the meal had not yet begun, he looked like he was already five or six points drunk. When he asked Bayral this question just now, he should have asked it casually unintentionally.

"Oops, that thing...... That Count Ashrufat is too bold to ......" Speaking of this topic, the official also sighed. "Killing one's own subjects in one's own country who have already been subjugated is far beyond the needs of war, and no matter how you explain it, it will not make sense. Hearing that he hadn't even had time to return to the army, Her Majesty the Queen ordered the lieutenant general to take charge of the army, so that he could rush back to Eagle Falcon City immediately. ”

Robin glanced at Baylor, who gave him a meaningful look.

"I heard a rumor," Robin said. "This slaughter order was given by the Queen?"

"That's ridiculous, isn't it? The officer replied. "Why are there such rumors?"

"Because I have heard that a great deal of property has been seized from the city of Fornoros. Robin replied. "Maybe it's because Her Majesty the Queen has appeared...... financial difficulties, so simply use this method...... Problem solving?"

"I'm afraid you're mistaken, our queen doesn't have a hard time with that. The officer replied casually. "The capture of the booty is a matter of course, but there is ...... between this and the massacre"

"The meat is roasted!" someone shouted, interrupting the conversation.

Because he was counted as the master, the official stood up and took a knife to cut the roast sheep and distribute it to those present. As soon as he left, Robin immediately came to Beller's side. Cutting such a freshly roasted hot lamb was also a laborious task, and this roast lamb attracted everyone's attention for a while, and no one noticed the expressions of Bayor and Robin.

"General...... This ......"

"Well, a miracle happened, didn't it?" said Beller softly.

In fact, during this period of time, the secret information from Eagle Falcon City has been basically cut off. In fact, almost as soon as the Little Queen led her army on the expedition, the source of information about Eagle Falcon City was cut off. This is not a particularly outrageous thing, if this kind of spy is discovered, and the other party does not want to start a diplomatic conflict because of this matter, then the unfortunate spy will quietly disappear from the world, and no one will know about him again. If it is a spy network, then the identification of one person may lead to the uprooting of the entire spy network.

Because of this, Bayrell doesn't know much about the situation in Eagle Falcon City right now—especially about that mysterious financial problem. Of course, the spy thing is endless. Tiberius (and perhaps Bayrell himself) must have sent follow-up spies. However, financial information, even if not classified, usually flows only between the top levels of the country. When a spy who has successfully built a network of contacts is killed, it always takes a long time for his successor to recover such a source of information. Therefore, the news that this official inadvertently revealed surprised both Baylor and Robin.

After a long time, when everyone had begun to eat dinner on their plates, Robin found another opportunity to talk to the official. As mentioned earlier, due to the poor amount of alcohol, this person already has five or six points of alcohol. Drunken people are always very talkative, and he lacks vigilance - in his heart, all he says is gossip that has nothing to do with state secrets, and he just laughs at Bojun.

"Original...... Is it because of the royal treasure that Garunas the sage of the wilderness buried in the past, and the secret of this treasure is only kept by the royal family from generation to generation?"

"Hmm...... That's what everyone says, it's surprising, isn't it?"

At this moment, Robin had figured out the origin of this official, who was from Eagle Falcon City. In fact, it has not been more than 20 days since he took up his current position. In other words, the information in his mouth can be said to be first-hand precious information, and even if there are mixed rumors, there are very few.

"It's really amazing. Robin admitted. "Our Lord Garunas has made it to this day...... How many years has he been dead? ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... How can I say that he is also a person who has the title of 'sage'. But then again, I personally feel that maybe it wasn't the Wilderness Sage, but King Makremiz who arranged it. It is also human nature for a person to arrange a secret wealth for future generations. ”

"If you say that, it's really a bit like that. ”

While the others continued to eat, Robin and Beller crept into a no-man's corner.

"General, do you believe what he says?" asked Robin.

"This question should be asked the other way around......" Bayral replied. "Robin, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. Robin replied immediately.

According to the logic of the gentleman just now, King Macremiz and Garunas had achieved great victories in those years, and at the same time they had won countless victories, they must have also received countless spoils of war. Hide some of this wealth...... This seems to be a reasonable logic. Besides," Bayral paused. "Garunas is known as a sage, and this title is not for nothing. With his vision, he will definitely be able to see the hidden danger that the domestic aristocracy is too powerful...... At least he could see that the foundations of royal power were not so solid. In this case, leaving a sum of money as a means of settling in for future generations once they lose the throne, which is also a good foreshadowing. ”

"Your Excellency, because this amount of money is too large. Robin replied bluntly. "According to today's logic, if King Macremiz really left a sum of money for future generations to live in if he lost the throne...... Almost a million Oli is an exaggeration. Besides, King Macremiz was the founder of the country, and if he wanted to build the country, he would inevitably need a lot of money. He could not have spent too much money to keep for future generations. Unless it was Garunas, the sage of the wilderness, who had the ability to foresee, it would have been impossible to leave so much money behind even if the royal family was facing today. ”

"That's right!" Beller patted Robin on the shoulder in encouragement. "That's it, you get to the heart of the matter all at once. Therefore, this miracle could not have been created by Garunas, there must be another reason. ”

"General, do you have any clues?"

"There are no clues. Bayral replied. "But it is certain that there are a few people who must know the true content of this miracle. One is Her Majesty our little queen, and the other is the mysterious Count Ashrufat. It's a shame that these two ...... It's not easy to deal with. Hey, Robin, you didn't find a way to meet the little queen the last time you went to Eagle City, it was really a mistake. Otherwise, there is probably a general direction now. ”

"I'm sorry, Shogun......"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Beller suddenly laughed. "Anyway, in a few days, I'll be able to see the ...... of the Makremiz family Monsters too. Hey, speaking of which, I really don't want to play this kind of trick. ”

"General...... Are you scared?" Robin suddenly felt that Bayral's appearance was a little strange.

"I'm afraid, and it's a lie to say I'm not afraid. She was only twelve...... No, thirteen. This means that if nothing happens, she will live a long time, much longer than me, much longer than you. That's her biggest and unshakable strength. It's like beating a snake, if you don't kill it all at once, the snake will definitely find a chance to eat back. That's what worries me. ”

Robin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"However, in any case, as a courtier, the mission of His Majesty the King must be the first priority. Bayral said softly. "Maybe it's going to be difficult to annex Gruni or something, but at least ...... At the very least, I hope that the land under my feet will become the border between the two countries. ”

......

You can already see the walls of Eagle Falcon Castle in front of you.

As a royal city, the city looks a bit grey from afar, especially on cloudy days.

There are no traces of wars and coups d'état. At this moment, on the main road into the city, even if it is not a lot of traffic, at least there are people coming and going without stopping.

Ashrufat slowed his horse and allowed a car that smelled of livestock to pass by. There were a dozen fat pigs in the cart - a city like Eagle Falcon City needs to consume a lot of supplies every day. Most of these things are brought from the countryside near the city.

Ashruphat suddenly remembered the first time he entered the city, when he was ......

"Ashrufat!" a cry of joy interrupted Ashrufat's train of thought. He looked back and saw a green two-wheeled carriage, with a man leaning out of the window and waving to him. This person's appearance is very distinctive, even if they are far away, it is extremely difficult to be misunderstood.

"Akin?" Ashruphat was stunned for a moment.
