"Teacher, what do you think of Rogge and Hope, and is it possible that they will be of use to me?"

After leaving the Essex Mountains, Maher refused to see almost all local officials on the grounds that he was unwell, and hid directly in the room prepared for him.

The first thing Maher did when he entered the room was to ask the 'old butler' about Rogge and Hope alone.

"Rogge is sleek and Hope is rigid, and although their personalities are very different, they are equally rigorous and equally good at running the army. ”

"What's more valuable is that the cooperation between them is quite tacit, and they often achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two together!"

"This can be seen from the fact that it only took them a few days to put the 'peasant army' in order. There are no problems with these two people in terms of ability, they are even better than we expected!"

"It's just that they still have scruples about Barron's affairs, and if we want to completely dispel their worries in this regard, I'm afraid it will take a little time!"

"Fortunately, there is still desire in their eyes, and they are not willing to stay here to spend their lives all the time, and I believe that as long as we show enough sincerity, they will eventually become your powerful assistants. ”

"That's good, teacher, when do you think it's better for me to talk to them?"

"The sooner the better! Now that the battle between us and Feng Qi has reached a stalemate, and in the case that the army at the front has been unable to open the situation, the minister of the DPRK and China will inevitably think of reactivating some of the previous generals!"

"In the past, all the princes and powerful people in the court deliberately ignored the 'Four Great Gate Gods' because of the list in Barron's hand. Now that list has been destroyed, and the facts have been proven. The 'Four Great Gate Gods' have nothing to do with this matter, it is all Barron's doing!"

"That's it. The 'Four Great Gate Gods' are bound to become the object of contention. ”

"Unlike the other two 'door gods' who were still in charge, Rogge and Hope did not come forward to testify against Barron back then. Now it seems that this act of theirs is even more precious!"

"No one wants to choose a traitor into their side! Therefore, we must move quickly! Show them our sincerity as quickly as possible!"

"According to you, isn't the chips in my hand a little lighter now?" Maher couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard the analysis of the 'old butler'.

After all these ups and downs, Hope and Rogge will surely become more sober, and at their age, they will no longer have the luxury of reaching the sky. ”

"We just need to give them hope and give them a chance to prove themselves, and that's enough!

"Good. I'm going to invite them over tonight and talk to them about it!"

"We didn't invite them over, but we took the initiative to come! This will show our sincerity even more!" the 'old butler' corrected Maher's statement.

"But wouldn't that be too obvious about our intentions?" Maher unconsciously glanced in the direction of Marcus' rest.

"Since we're here, there's no secret to be told, and our every move will be watched by someone who cares. Do you think that if you invite them here, no one will guess what you think?, in that case, why don't you behave a little more politely?!"

"In your position, it's right to be sensitive, but don't set up enemies for yourself casually!"

"'Hostility' is something that can be contagious to each other. Don't get this thing all over the place. Otherwise, you'll soon find out that you're surrounded by enemies!"

"Your enemy camp is strong enough, so don't take the initiative to provide them with new forces!"

"Yes. Teacher, the student has been taught!" Maher was shaken by the words of the 'old butler', and he hurriedly stood up and thanked the 'old butler'.

"How are you doing with that temptation of Charity? I hear you drank with him for most of the night. Does he deserve it?" Maher got up and sat back in his place, and began to ask the 'old butler' about Li Zijun.

"If you know him, he's a high-level swordsman who isn't even nineteen years old. Would you still ask me that?"

"Nineteen years old, senior swordsman, really fake. You're not kidding me, are you?"

"You think I'm joking with you?!"

"If anyone named 'Ed' can be so magical, then shouldn't I change my name too!" Maher smiled bitterly at the 'old butler', unwillingly.

"Although the nineteen-year-old senior swordsman sounds a little incredible, as far as I know, there is actually no shortage of such characters in some of our Aojin families!"

"It's just that I don't think Ed is like any other than them!" the 'old butler' frowned, his uncertain expression for the first time today.

"What's the difference?" Maher rarely saw his teacher behave like this, and he couldn't help but be even more curious.

"In some of our proud families, there are indeed secret methods for promoting martial arts. However, these secret methods usually increase one's strength, but also cause a certain aspect of the person to be promoted to change abruptly, or a certain part of the limbs to atrophy, or a deformed change in the body: huge thinness, huge fatness, pot, or even muteness, which is normal for them. ”

"But if you look at Ed, he doesn't have anything unusual except for being a little thin, and that's what makes me the most incomprehensible. ”

"Could it be?" Maher's gaze swept unconsciously towards the lower part of the body.

"What do you think? Ed is very masculine, and there is nothing wrong with that!" the 'old butler' could not help laughing at this hint from Maher.

"It's not, it's not, you talked to him until the middle of the night, and you didn't get anything out of his mouth?"

"This kid is extremely tight-mouthed, and he doesn't reveal any valuable clues other than saying that he comes from a family that will punish family members with 'grounding'. ”

"Grounded, we've all been punished like this when we were kids, and such family rules are so commonplace, no wonder you can't tell where he really came from. ”

"It's normal to be grounded for three or five days, but it's a bit strange to be grounded for three years!"

"My God, three years?!Then you can't suffocate people to death! There shouldn't be many families in Aojin that practice such family rules, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess his background, why do you feel like you're still not sure?"

"When I first heard this deadline, I thought I could make a judgment, but it soon occurred to me that in fact, none of our Aojin families would punish their own high-ranking martial artists in this way for small mistakes. Although it was hard for me to accept, I had to admit that I followed that kid around for half a night, and I didn't get anything after the end!" The 'old butler' thought of the scene where he and Li Zijun were drinking, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"To be able to make you 'come back', this kid is not simple, I seem to be more and more interested in him!"

"As things stand, he shouldn't have the idea of being an enemy of us, otherwise he wouldn't have encouraged Rogge and Hope to lean in on us. ”

"I suggest you try to provoke him as little as possible, I always feel that he is far more complicated than we see!"

"No matter how complicated he is, he can't really love Radred!"

"You don't think he's the Grand Duke of Dongyu Edlaide, do you? We just got the news that that guy is still dying on Feng Qi's side, how could he suddenly come to us?" Seeing that the 'old butler' frowned and didn't respond to him, Maher couldn't help but stand up in fright.

"I've heard from Rogge, he watched Ed come out of the Essex Mountains, and even if he did escape to us, he should be in a hurry to return to Dongyu, so he wouldn't have the leisure to go around Essex, right?"

"That's why I suspect he's Edlaide!"

"The news we get about the Fengqi Empire, even if it is completely accurate, there will always be a certain time lag. What's more, a lot of the news about Edlaide is just chasing after the wind, if these news are really confirmed, I'm afraid that he would have been trapped in the local area by Feng Qi a long time ago!"

"Whether Edlaide is captured or killed, it is definitely good news for Feng Qi, as long as it spreads, their front-line soldiers will be greatly encouraged!"

"But it's been so long, did you hear the news that Feng Qi took the initiative to spread the news of Edlaide? No, they didn't say anything!"

"All this proves that Edlaide is alive and free!"

"I suspect that Edlaide has crossed the Essex Mountains and is coming to us!"

"Crossing the Essex Mountains with Edlaide's strength, do you think he is amazing?!"

"As far as I know, the top three Saint-Rank masters in various countries may not be able to pass through the Essex Mountains smoothly! Edlaide is not yet twenty years old after all, and I never believe that he can cross the Jedi of Essex at his age!"

"If Ed was scarred now, I might have been a little suspicious, but you can see that he is alive and healthy at the moment. If he had ever crossed that forbidden zone of life, do you think he might still behave like he is today?"

"Believe me, they're just having similar names, they can't be the same person!"

"Maybe, but no matter what, I can guarantee that this Ed is also a guy who is not willing to be subordinate!"

If you can treat him the way you treat him as a friend, maybe we will get more unexpected benefits!" (To be continued......
