Under the pitiful gaze of old Caslan, Tails did everything possible to shirk the glass of rye alcohol, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info 小?say ww?w?.?r?anwen'

After they had rested for a quarter of an hour, Viscount Kambida turned his head and nodded to the fiery knight Tulha.

"Get ready!" Tulha ordered his soldiers, "We're ready to go!

Hearing the commander's words, the officers and soldiers of Exeter got up in unison, left the wine money, and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

The crowd of the stars looked at Tails.

Tails glanced at Putira, shrugged, and jumped off the bar.

But just as he waved to the old man Kaslan, ready to leave.

"Kid, wait!"

Kaslan left the bar and walked over to Tails.

Tails realized that the old man, Kaslan, was extremely tall, almost seven feet, and he had to raise his neck to an angle that could not be higher in order to barely look up at him.

Thankfully, Kaslan crouched down in front of him.

"You're going to apologize before King Noon, aren't you? Old Kaslan said slowly: "And I also heard that it is to repay Prince Moral's misfortune in the stars." ā€

"Yes," Tails sighed, "let's see if King Nunn will be interested in my head." ā€

Kaslan's eyes moved slightly as he looked at him.

"When I was your age," the old man sighed, "I would only chase sparrows after my brother's ass." ā€

Tails smiled.

But before Tails could speak, Kaslan said to himself, "Damn, messy aristocratic political conspiracy, they never relent, do they?"

"It doesn't matter if you're seven or seventeen...... God knows how Prince Moral died, alas, it was a good lad. ā€

"This ......" Tails looked surprised, "Thank you for your understanding...... Mr. Kaslan ......"

Kaslan looked at him steadily.

Until Tails looked embarrassed and pointed out the door.

"Listen," said the old man Caslan lightly:

"I served under Nunn, and in a way, I knew him better. ā€

Does this tavernkeeper know King Nunn?

Tails was slightly stunned, and he turned his head to look at Kambida not far away.

Why did they bring themselves here? Did they really take a break?

Caslan sighed softly, "He was a good king when he was young, a standard Walton big man. ā€

"I remember Nunn Walton standing at the Thirty-Eight Lookout, wielding a chain hammer at the attacking orcs. ā€

"He was so generous and tolerant that he could stand in front of the orc's axe for the sake of a nobody, and every warrior was proud of his death. ā€

"Oh?" Tails' eyes lit up, "That's good, it seems, at least he's not going to be the king who orders my head to be cut off at every turn." ā€

"But people change. ā€

Old Caslan let out a sigh, his eyes became confused and drifting: "Nunn is also a human being, he will also be old, and there will be a day when he will be confused by slander and lust, and will be swayed by ** and impulsiveness." ā€

"He has the blood of Necajuaix, but he is not a perfect dragon or a hero. ā€

"Especially...... He is also a father who has lost his son. ā€

Tails couldn't help but be stunned.

Kaslan lowered his head and stared at Tails tightly, "Be careful, Second Prince of the Stars. ā€

"Exeter has taken the dragon as his banner, but for six hundred years we have only admired the dragon's power, learned the dragon's pride, and left the dragon's wisdom and wisdom behind. ā€

"Although we call ourselves the sons and daughters of the North Wind and the Dragon, we carry the imperial shackles on our bodies, but we are not less than half a cent of the stars. ā€

"What do you mean?" Tails' eyes widened, "You mean: Exeter's domestic situation may be worse than you think?"

"Take care, child. Kaslan just shook his head and gently put his shoulder on his shoulder: "Since you gave the money but didn't drink, then this can be regarded as a little advice from me." ā€

Tails had to spread his hands: "Thank you for your advice......"

It's a pity, it's useless.

What should come will still come.

In any case, he had to face Nunn VII.

"By the way," Caslan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly exhaled and smiled, "If you encounter any crisis in Exeter that can't be turned around...... When even King Nunn can't save you......"

King Nunn can't save me?

Tails was suspicious: What does this mean?

"There's a butcher's shop on the westbound road of Longxiao City, and the sign is a dagger," Caslan snorted and whispered under Tails' frowning expression, "The boss is a Far Easterner surnamed Gu, who owed me a favor back then, and he was a bold guy who often dared to do things that violated the law. ā€

"If you want to ask him for help, just say, 'Six and a half dollars.'" ā€

Under Tails' surprised eyes, the old man Kaslan slapped him hard again and slapped him on the shoulder!

The second prince is another stumbling man.

In the eyes of the grinning Tails, the old man in front of him slowly stood up and laughed boldly:

"Next time, remember to drink my rye wine!"

"That's what a man is all about!"

Before Putile showed a murderous gaze, Tails smiled awkwardly and left.

Kambida frowned as he watched Tails and the stars walk away.

Then he slowly walked to the bar and turned to the old man, Kaslan.

"You see, the next king of the stars," Kambida's eyes glowed, "You see how different he is, how mature he is, what were we doing when we were seven years old?"

"Well," the old man Kaslan said slowly, staring at the door of the tavern, "This child's eyes are indeed different from everyone else's. ā€

In the child's eyes, he saw no awe or nervousness, only interest and curiosity.

There is also a mysterious self-confidence and firmness, as if it has never wavered.

This is not the look that a frightened child who is thousands of miles away from home should have.

"That's the next opponent we have to face in Exeter...... I'm almost certain that when he grows up, he'll be Exeter's enemy. The corners of Kambida's mouth curled and knocked on the bar: "It's a pity that the Grand Duke can't attack him directly." ā€

"When did we Northlanders become the scheming and fearful of even a seven-year-old child?" Kaslan said in a deep voice with disdain, "to maintain the country in the midst of conspiracy and fear...... This is the only thing that stormy empires do. ā€

"Of course," said the counsellor of the Grand Duke of Lomba, "we need a better king, and not an old and mediocre man, nor a milky and unwieldy man." ā€

"Hmph," Caslan grabbed two glasses and put them in the back kitchen window, "So Chaman Rumba is really a good candidate?"

"I'm sure you're still in love with Exeter, and you're still in love with the Dragon's Realm," Kambida looked at him steadily, "even if His Majesty Nunn kicked you out of the Whiteblade Guards." ā€

"Hey!" the old man seemed particularly unconvinced, "Nunn didn't drive me away!"

"I left on my own!"

Kambida didn't speak, just stared at the old man.

Are you sure?

After a few seconds, he said slowly:

"So you still don't say yes?"

"Hah!" Caslan shook his head mockingly, "I'm just a tavernkeeper, what can I promise?"

"'Shake the Ground', as the last leader of the White-Bladed Guard, your prestige still spreads among them, and your story is still being told in the Thirty-Eight Outposts. Kambida said slowly: "As long as you say a word......"

"What, you want me to use my influence and connections to convince my old subordinates to side with Chaman?" Kaslan snorted disdainfully.

"I'm sure you'll make the best choice for Exeter," Cambida looked indifferent, but his eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at the old man Kaslan:

"Caslan Rumba ......"

"After all, you are the uncle of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke. ā€

Kaslan looked up slightly.

"He is also the most famous commander of the White Guards since the founding of Exter. Kambida said lightly.

"In the coming storm, you are not destined to be alone. ā€

Of course, maybe not just "convince old subordinates", maybe go further.

Kambida thought silently: After all, the White Blade Guard is the king's personal guard, responsible for the personal safety of the king of Exeter......

"Do you know what reminds me of that?" Caslan interrupted his thoughts.

Kambida politely curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

The old man looked at him coldly.

"Quesolomba was asked by the empire to persuade his native people to cooperate with the empire, pay taxes obediently, and no longer resist. ā€

"If I say no, will that kid from Chaman also exile me to the Recreation Tower?"

Kambida frowned.

"Just go back and tell my nephew," said Kaslan, slowly, but categorically:

"Fuck the rumba. ā€

"Well," Cambida sighed and shook her head unsurprisingly, "then at least you should be able to do a second favor." ā€

Kaslan snorted coldly, "You always care about interests, don't you?"

"This time," Cambida narrowed his eyes, "it has something to do with that prince." ā€

Kaslan put away a few glasses again, ignoring His Excellency the Viscount.

"In Exeter, there are people who want to assassinate that prince, whether it's to blame the Grand Duke or to stir up the situation," Cambida said with a dark face, "and they even used the officer spies lurking in our magic gun unit. ā€

"You know I hate all this dirty politics the most," Kaslan looked up and said unceremoniously, "I don't want to know any ......"

"The next thing has to do with you," Kambida interrupted him in a deep voice, "the Grand Duke wrote yesterday that we found a clue about the officer's spy in the black market, but we were cut off halfway. ā€

"What's my business?" said Caslan roughly.

"Those who cut off the clue halfway through are using the sword style of the Tower of Ending, using an unusual power of finishing!" said in a low voice, as if to say a secret, "and they are not from the Tower of End." ā€

Kaslan was stunned.

"Go on," the old man solemnized, "what finishing power?"

"I know you're going to care...... "It's the kind of frenzied and out-of-control finishing power you've been saying for a long time...... I remember you were still working on the Tower of the End?"

"It's just to repay Shao's favor," Kaslan's eyes showed a look of nostalgia: "After all, how many years have I graduated......"

But then he looked at Kambida seriously: "What else?"

"Our super-rank finishing swordsman, Chloehi, remember, he is the daughter of your comrade-in-arms, and that strong little girl was seriously injured in their hands, and almost lost her life. ā€

"She was the only one who escaped. ā€

Kaslan clenched his hands.

"The trail we're pursuing is broken, and the only thing left is those strange finishing powers......" Kambida said sincerely, "We need your help...... Even if it's for the Tower of End, not for Rumba. ā€

"The person with the same name as the 'Gray Sword Guard' Shao, the pride of the Tower of End, and the pride of the White Blade Guard's 'Shaking the Earth' Kaslan Rumba. ā€

The Tower of the End in a few days, the lounge of the House of Heritage.

"What we know for sure is that the Sword of Calamity does not have a complete lineage of the Northern Army's swordsmanship," Jedi Tafna, one of the inheritors of the Arctic Realm, sat on the table and said to his students, "Even if it is outdated, it is a set of swordsmanship that countless swordsmen and mages have mastered...... The House of Inheritance has the most complete preservation system. ā€

"We can start here......"

"Good, good...... Keep looking for books here, Jedi. ā€

The tired Korn Karabyyan leaned against the table, knocked on the table leg, and rubbed his red eyes: "Anyway, I can't stand it, but I will remember this good time, the days when I sneaked into the library of truth with the teacher every night......"

Jedi's face darkened.

"You're going to give up?" his teacher said unhappily, "the search for the Sword of Calamity?"

"It's not giving up," said the blonde-haired vigilante officer Cohen angrily, "but do you know how many books are in the library of truth?"

"Then, I just received a letter from a beautiful woman yesterday......" Cohen yawned despite Jady's poor face, "I'm going to return the favor." ā€

Yara.

Is that her name?

Cohen touched the letter in his arms, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

That cool two-knife girl.

However, at this moment, a stern and cold old voice came from behind the master and apprentice.

"Jedi Tafner. ā€

"Cohen Karabiyan. ā€

Jedi and Cohen trembled in unison!

"Plop!" Jeddy stumbled off the table, accidentally falling to the ground.

"Boom!" Cohen sprung nervously off the floor, only to hit his head on the table.

The two were in a hurry, one rubbing his knees and his face was distorted, and the other was touching his scalp and grinning.

They struggled to their feet, trying to stand up straight, with the most obedient and friendly smiles, and looked at the gray-haired old man from the Far East who appeared at some point, with a sword at his waist and a cold face.

"Ah......h

"Master Shao! Master Shao! Oh, I plan to be the first to visit you when I come back this time, and I have brought you a special product of the stars......" This is the guard officer of the Kingdom of Stars and the captain of the city defense with a flattering face, Coen Karabiyan, who rubs his hands and looks flattering.

But the gray-haired old man Shao ignored their smiles.

"The table in the lounge, not for dancing. Shao stared at Jiedi with a flattering expression, and his cold voice made Jiedi's laughter more and more embarrassing: "Inheritors must set a good example!"

"Of course, of course. Jedi Tafner nodded humbly and sincerely.

Then, turning to Cohen, his iron-like serious face made him tremble, "If you have a chair, don't sit on the ground." ā€

"Well, yes, yes. Cohen listened to the teachings seriously.

The two smiled and nodded repeatedly, as respectful as they were.

Just kidding, this is the Tower of Ending's Tower Master Grey Sword Guard!

The lightest punishment he gave to his students was 10 hours of handstands!

And the culpability that deserves the lightest punishment is an example: walking with too big a step and poor manners!

The Grey Sword Guard stared at them coldly.

Jeddy and Cohen stood straighter than the other.

Fortunately, Shao just snorted in the end and didn't say anything more.

The two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Until Shao said the next sentence.

"I heard," Shao said slowly, "how many times have you stolen the Book of Truth in the past few days?"

Jedee and Cohen were petrified in place at the same time.

"This ...... Listen to me explain," Jedi smiled awkwardly, "That...... Didn't you happen to be there, Cohen found some clues to the Sword of Calamity, so ......"

"It's for the Tower of the End, for the 'Cleaners,'" Cohen patted his chest sternly as he pulled out the words he had learned in the Alert Hall, "we're ...... for the Sword of Calamity"

But Shao's serious, deep voice slowly rose and interrupted them.

"Good. The Gray Sword Guard looked serious: "Cohen Karabiyan." ā€

Cohen suddenly raised his head solemnly and stood up straight.

"You go to Exeter right away," Shao said slowly, "There's an old friend named Caslan who needs help." ā€

"Huh?Kaslan?" this is Jedi, who looked at Shao in surprise, "You mean the drunken Uncle Northland who uses his sword as an axe?"

Shao turned to him, and his cold gaze forced Jedi to keep silent.

"But......" Cohen rubbed his head awkwardly, "I have to go back to the stars to do my friends a favor first......"

"Croehi, remember, your contemporary," Shao Shen said, "she was wounded in the hand of the Sword of Calamity...... It is likely that you will never be able to use a sword again in this life. ā€

Cohen looked up, stunned.

Chloehi ......

In his eyes, a round-headed Northland girl holding a sword and gritting her teeth under the scorching sun appeared.

And her white teeth.

"Okay," the vigilante officer turned around without hesitation and said firmly to the two inheritors, "I'll go and prepare right away...... How serious is the situation? Do you need me to bring my family's private soldiers?"

"Entering the territory of Exeter with the private soldiers of the Star Nobles," Jady said in a deep voice, "Have you pumped your brain?"

Cohen nodded abruptly.

"You won't be the only one," Shao Shen said, "and there will be another person who will join you on the road...... She has recently joined the Purge. ā€

Cohen was stunned.

Broken Dragon Fortress, Northern Gate.

"Be careful on the road, although Rumba has withdrawn and the war has not started, but after all, it is Exeter. "The Flower of the Fortress, Sonia Satherre looked at Miranda Arende who was ready to go, and chuckled, "Although I would like to suggest that you bring those Aarend family privates......"

"This is the border between the two countries," Miranda said softly, "it is impossible to cross it with troops." ā€

Not to mention......

Aarend......

Miranda tugged at her black gloves as she tightened the White Eagle emblem on her cuffs.

The Flower of the Fortress looked at the appearance of his subordinates and sighed: "It's okay to go out and hide, after all, your uncles and brothers of the Aarend family are really annoying......"

Miranda bit her lip tightly and did not speak.

"It's not about dodging. She said lightly.

"Okay," Sonia reluctantly shook her subordinates' shoulders, "It's for friends, right......"

Miranda gently patted the white hilt of her waist and nodded.

Chloehi.

The girl who never gives up.

"We studied under the same teacher," said the daughter of the Duke of Arend, coldly, "and I must be by her side when she is in trouble." ā€

I don't have much left in the world.

It must be cherished.

Miranda remembered the brisk and bright figure in white, and his eternally cheerful tone.

I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth slightly.

She turned and stepped into the stirrups.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm not some helpless little cat. ā€

"Don't worry, sir, I'm not some helpless little cat. (To be continued.) )
