The most out of place thing in this world is probably that in the banquet of the Star People, there is suddenly an Exeter person.

It's still a mouthful.

Alerted by Tails' eyes, Gloufer and Doyle urged them to pull the bearded Jorge to the corner outside the hall, getting rid of the curious and inquiring eyes of the surrounding guests.

"If you want me to say that you southerners just have nothing to do, and if you say the wrong name, you will make a lot of nerves......"

Jorge complained unreservedly.

"I used to mistakenly write the Grand Duke's letter of request for help to King Nunn as 'Respected King of Longxiao City', and I didn't see what the Heavenly King did to me, and I still paid and helped us suppress the mountain bandits, and I ...... old."

Doyle pouted, and Crofo looked away.

Even if his temperament is as chic as the former, and his silence and introvert are as introverted as the latter, he is not used to the casual and rude nature of this guest.

Only Tails listened to the other man's rude and thick northern accent, and smiled without saying a word.

It is indeed rare to hear such an accent in the orderly Mindish Hall and at the moment of the ceremonial banquet.

It was as if he had returned to the prideful, rugged and direct north.

I saw the official Jorge laughing and laughing:

"Haha, maybe you forgot, Polaris, but we've met!"

Tails said suspiciously:

"When?"

"Wow, you're so forgetful, aren't you?"

Listening to the other party's arrogant tone, in addition to being abrupt, Tails actually had a strange sense of intimacy.

But he was obviously just a passer-by of Exter.

Here, the Kingdom of Stars, Eternal Star City, this is his home, isn't it?

Jorge is in high spirits:

"A few years ago, during the hunting tour of Longxiao City, the little girl of the Walton family took your hand - hey, if you want me to say that you are really bold - the young men from the Northland present were all sour, and rushed forward in groups, wanting to learn martial arts with you, have in-depth exchanges, and have a friendly duel......"

Tails' expression changed suddenly.

Jorge was very happy and spoke with a lot of spittle:

"It's a messy scene, it's noisy, maybe others don't see it, but I'm very sharp-eyed, she hid you in her skirt ......"

Tails' face turned pale.

Ignoring the faces of the guards behind him, he rushed forward in three or two steps, holding Jorge's big hand that he couldn't stop waving.

"Ahem! Thank you!

Tails interrupted enthusiastically and movingly.

"I really feel the pride and grandeur of Elk City!"

He shook Jorge's hand vigorously and sincerely hoped that he would not say any more.

Jorge was stunned for a moment, then squinted and lowered his head, with a look of understanding.

It made Tails even more depressed.

As a listener, Doyle playfully arched his brother, but the latter only frowned, not wanting to share his interest with him.

"Hey, that's right. ”

Jorge naturally put his arm around the duke's shoulders and whispered like a good buddy:

"Grand Duke Gadero has a son, Igor is the heir of Elk City, a good young man, and among the gifts I have brought him are seal skins and bear skins, you are of equal status, and you are both gifted, and you should be able to talk ......"

The official looked encouraged, and vigorously shook the prince:

"You're going to love him!"

Tails was so shaken by him that he even distorted his smirk:

"Igor, right? I guess I will......"

But Jorge squinted and smiled:

"But that's not all, you must know that the Grand Duke has three daughters......"

Tailston doesn't feel good.

"Although the first one has been married twice, he is a good child, and he guarantees that you will have a group of children before you are twenty, and your descendants will be worry-free......"

"The second one is amazing, the bow horse is skilled in 100 steps through the Yang, even the veterans have to give a thumbs up, with her in bed, you don't have to arrange for the guards to stay overnight at night......"

Tails' smile froze.

"The third, the third......"

Jorge flickered for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Yes, yes, it's okay to ......"

The official immediately patted Duke Xinghu on the shoulder very "northland", and shook the perfect hairstyle that Tails had cut up when he fled and finally grew back after returning to China:

"I know, you grew up blowing the wind of our north, and must prefer hard ......"

"How?"

Jorge's eyes lit up:

"Thinking about taking a look?"

The prince struggled to squeeze out a smile.

It took Tails a few minutes to escape Jorge's enthusiasm, ushering the bear-like guest back into the ballroom, promising him a larger chair.

The guards who accompanied the prince had funny expressions.

Marhos, who had been silent, stepped forward and reminded the prince of the list of guests to be greeted next, but after saying that......

"By the way, the story he said, you know, it's the ...... you hid in your skirt," the watchman hesitated.

Tails, who had always been easy-going, looked up instantly.

The expression is fierce, and he chooses people to eat.

"Don't ask," Duke Xinghu gritted his teeth:

"You're still my favorite captain of the guard. ”

Marlos narrowed his eyes, with a look of understanding, and gave a playful salute:

"Well, I'll go and arrange something else first, and I hope you enjoy the banquet. ”

Looking at the back of the other party turning away, Tails sighed in annoyance.

"Your Highness......" Doyle's voice came from behind him.

Tails was vigilant, and his eyebrows were cold.

"Don't worry, I, I don't ask ......"

I saw D.D shake his hand awkwardly:

"I just want to say that I understand that I understand that bad occasion ...... I have experienced"

"Ahem-ahem!"

On the other side, Glovo seemed to have a cold, and coughed repeatedly, interrupting Doyle's nonsense:

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Doyle relented, but Tails' face worsened.

All right.

Tails stiffened his head back, gloomy.

When he became king, the first thing he had to do was to wave his army north......

Destroy Exter.

They walked back in silence.

"Ahem, Ahem...... Is that all the Northlanders of Exeter?" Doyle finally threw out a less under-beaten topic.

Tails nodded sullenly.

"Half of that. ”

"As for the other half......

At this moment, a cry full of surprise and excitement came from the side:

"Tails Bright Star!"

The three of them were all taken aback.

In the distance in the hallway, Amid footsteps and shouts, Zoneved and Piloga of the Star Lake Guards stubbornly stopped a guest who was trying to rush at the Prince, who waved his hands and tried to get close to Tails.

Tails looked at the other person's appearance—the head of the pot with the ear—with some inexplicable familiarity.

Until he saw the glittering blade emblem on the guest's clothing.

"Fortunately, in the following Vi Trudida, the son of the Grand Duke of the Re-Creation Tower. The guest smiled flatteringly, speaking the same familiar Northland accent, but much lighter than Jorge's.

Rebuilding the Tower, Trudida?

It's interesting.

Another pot head, which was much older and more cunning, and was more imposing and majestic, appeared in his memory.

Tails nodded, and asked the guards to let go of the unruly Northland who had come to the door without guidance, and let him come closer.

"Levi, right?"

Tails squeezed out his trademark social smile: "I know your father, Grand Duke of Trudeda......"

"What a coincidence," Levi squinted:

"I know him too. ”

Tails was silent for a moment at the terrible joke.

Little Trudida?

He looked at the smirk on Levi's face and the glint in his eyes.

Well, it's biological, that's right.

"Very well, please bring it to your father on my behalf. ”

Tails sighed, determined not to dwell on it anymore:

"I hope you enjoy the banquet. ”

The prince turned and walked away.

"Your Highness!"

Levi spoke in a hurry.

But Zonevid, who was behind him, pressed the other party's shoulder, and the warning was obvious.

Tails turned.

"I know you're busy, so, okay, I'll get straight to the point. Levy sighed, a look of relief.

Tails blinked.

Under the noisy background sound of the banquet, I saw Levi's eyes narrowed:

"You know, I didn't have a good time here, and I was going to buy some souvenirs to take home, but I ran into some trouble...... Damn market bureaucrats and businessmen conspired to raise prices and deliberately make trouble......"

"Souvenir?" Tails was stunned.

"You know, travel," Levi shrugged, like a spoiled boy.

"Buy some this, buy some that, bring some souvenirs. ”

"Specialty?" Tails raised an eyebrow.

Levy smiled awkwardly:

"It's nothing, it's just something to eat, wear, and play. ”

"Eat?" Tails' tone grew more and more skeptical.

He stared at each other.

"Yes, I like it best. Levi's smile remains:

"I just need some local officials to make it easier for ......"

Tails looked at him for a few seconds.

"It can't be done. ”

Damn the Northlanders.

Tails said coldly:

"I'm just a newcomer, a self-cultivated prince. ”

Tails was about to turn around again, but Levy hurriedly spoke again:

"I know, I know!"

"But don't worry, Your Highness, you don't have to do anything!

Tails looked at him questioningly.

Levi broke free from Zonevid's grip and ignored the other party's expression of disgust:

"At the banquet later, all you need to do is let me stand beside you for a while, and it looks like you're just talking—the official who troubled me is here today, and he wants to get close to you. ”

Levy looked at Tails with an eager expression.

"I'm sorry," Tails shook his head, ready to leave:

"Maybe you should show your official status and go to the Foreign Affairs Department and see how they can help. ”

"But ......"

Levi spoke again, this time with a hint of pleading.

"For one thing, it's too high-profile, it's too compelling, you know ......"

"Two to ......"

He shrugged in embarrassment:

"The exchange rate has been bad lately, my ...... Funding is limited. ”

Too high-profile......

The exchange rate is not good......

Wait a minute.

Rebuild the tower.

Trudida.

With a specialty?

The prince pondered for a moment, and was somewhat clear.

"Okay, but if I help you," Tails turned back and snorted softly:

"What do I get?"

Levi was stunned for a moment, then released an embarrassed smile:

"...... from the Rebuilding Tower and the Trudida family Friendship?"

Tails raised an eyebrow.

The friendship of the Reinvented Tower and Trudeda.

Sounds good.

It is......

Tails chuckled softly.

How much is it worth?

Looking at the other party's reaction, Levi seemed to know his family's reputation.

"Well, you listen to me......"

Levi took a deep breath, ignored the faces of Glovover and Doyle, leaned closer to Tails' ear, and whispered something.

Tails' face changed.

Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, Tails nodded solemnly.

"Deal. ”

Levi's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.

Little Trudida grinned and said:

"I knew you were a good talker, and it was in vain that my father boasted every day that there was a Tails ...... the stars."

But the Duke of Star Lake interrupted him.

"I remember that your father was cautious, and he thought twice about everything, and never made bets lightly," said the prince.

"You came to Xingchen to find me at this time, and he has no opinion?"

Levi paused for a moment, but looked at the prince intriguingly.

"As a son," Levi said with a meaningful smile as he stared at him, "if you are always subject to your father's ...... in everything."

"You'll never be an adult, will you?"

Tails was silent for a moment.

He suddenly remembered the son of another Grand Duke, the Viscount of Windy City in Qiyuan City, the "nasty ghost" Ian Ronnie.

"Thank you for your honesty, I will inform the Grand Duke of Trudida of this. Tails said lightly.

"I can't ask for it," Levi didn't panic, but smiled slyly:

Then he can know that not every son is qualified to be mentioned by the famous 'North Star' who reversed the fate of Exter. ”

Hearing this, Tails frowned.

"You ...... That's what the people of the Northland call me?"

"Of course, there are others, but this one sounds the best......"

Levy looked at Tails cautiously and grinned:

"Or would you rather be called the 'little star of the Grand Duke'?"

Tails' face darkened.

The surrounding guards looked at each other with strange expressions again.

Tails sighed.

Polaris.

This nickname......

Sunset, isn't this a prince who has returned from Exeter, and hasn't had enough trouble in the Kingdom of Stars?

Thank you so much, Northlanders.

Just as Levy was about to leave, Tails suddenly spoke:

"So, King Chaman has no problem with you coming to my banquet?"

Hearing the name, Levi's face changed.

He was silent for a few seconds.

"Duke, today is your big day......"

Little Trudida looked left and right for a moment, and said softly:

"Let's not talk about bad luck. ”

Tails politely said goodbye to him, and Levy, who was satisfied, turned around and left under the "escort" of Zonevide and Piloga.

But as soon as the prince turned around, his expression turned cold.

"Glovor," Tails said gloomily:

"Go find where Gilbert is, and bring him to me. ”

Gloover frowned slightly.

Doyle next to him was stunned:

"Now, Your Highness, it has been reported that the Guardian Duke of the East China Sea, also known as Prime Minister Cullen, will be arriving soon, and you need to ......"

However, Tails suddenly shouted:

"his prime minister. ”

Duke Xinghu opened his mouth in a cold voice, word by word, which was unsettling:

"Now, immediately, immediately, ......"

Tails looked coldly:

"Give me, find it, Gilbert Cassel. ”

The two of them, accustomed to the prince's gentle personality, were shocked together.

Croover said no more, and immediately turned away, leaving only a worried Doyle by his side, looking at him worriedly from time to time.

Gilbert soon appeared in front of him, his face full of bewilderment.

But Tails dismissed Doyle and Glovo and got straight to the point:

"What happened to Exeter?"

Gilbert was stunned:

"What's going on? It should be all right...... After the eradication of dissidents, Chaman I has been busy pacifying the internal ......"

But Tails interrupted him impatiently:

"Gilbert!"

"Just now, two Northlanders rudely stopped me, and one of them even called me 'King of the Stars' in full view of everyone. ”

Gilbert's face changed.

Tails took a step forward, his eyes sharp:

"Do you understand?"

Gilbert and the prince looked at each other for a second and sighed slightly:

"You know, today is your big day, after today, you can officially enter the social circle of Yongxing City, step on the stage of the kingdom, if there is really anything, it will not be as good as ......"

But Tails just stared at each other:

"Gilbert, six years ago, you brought me to Mindis Hall. ”

"So I believe in you. ”

"More than anyone else. ”

Looking at the prince's expression, Gilbert wanted to speak again and again, and his expression was complicated.

After a few seconds, Count Cassel sighed slowly.

"A few days ago, there was a battle report from Exeter. ”

Tails looked nervous.

Really.

I saw Gilbert sweep away the joy and relaxation of the banquet day, his expression was serious, and he entered a thorough state of work:

"Long Xiao, pray for the distance, guard the guard, the three cities combined, nearly 20,000 soldiers from the north, the momentum of the westward border, all the way to the ground, the freedom alliance is defeated and retreated, and the entire golden corridor trembles. ”

"Not long ago, the Exeters finally overwhelmed the city and laid siege to Fort Liberty. ”

Tails nodded.

As one of the participants in the event, he clearly remembers the internal and external causes of the war, the forces in it, and the dramatic twists and turns.

"I know that Exeter wants to reaffirm their hegemony and position in the Golden Corridor......"

The small Freedom Alliance has affected the political situation in the Western Continent - whether it is the Sixteen Cities of Commas, the White Elves of the White Mountains, or the other countries in the Golden Corridor, since they intervened rashly twenty years ago, they were slapped by King Nunn and their front teeth were scattered, and their muscles and bones were broken......

In the face of this crisis, in the face of the three cities of the Northland joining forces again, all the forces would rather stand by and watch, and no one dared to touch the dragon's scales.

Including the Star Kingdom, which took the opportunity to trap the Freedom Alliance.

But Tails realized something.

"Your expression, Gilbert. ”

"What's going on?"

The Foreign Secretary looked at Tails' reaction and sighed:

"You know, a few months ago, the Kingdom Secret Branch's intelligence point in Exeter was just hit hard and is still being rebuilt......"

"The news I got is very messy, and I am still verifying it one by one, and the secret department has been very busy these days......

Tails directly omitted these clichés:

"And what do you know?"

Gilbert was silent for a while.

Tails stared at him steadily.

"It's not fully proven, but it's generally ......"

Gilbert's tone was calm:

"The Exeters were unable to conquer the city and suffered heavy losses. ”

"In a few days, they suffered a series of defeats and great losses. ”

"The supply was cut off, and the rear road was attacked. ”

"Forced to abandon the goal ......"

"The whole army retreated. ”

Tails froze.

"That's right, Your Highness. ”

At this moment, Gilbert sighed slowly, and between the lines, there was a sadness that only those who are familiar with history can realize:

"Since the time of Nunn VI, the rise has been unstoppable, invincible ......and invincible"

"Under the rule of the Born King, the hegemony is strong, and the power of the Western Continent ......"

"Conquer countless battles, the invincible kingdom of Exeter ......"

Gilbert sighed:

"Lost. ”

Tails was distracted for a moment.

Exeter.

Northlanders.

The Land of Dragons.

Children of the North Wind and the Dragon.

Descendants of the hero Necaju.

Lost?

Gilbert was still speaking, but Tails seemed to be listening through a curtain, and his head was in a trance.

In his long life, he always worked hard for his own life, exhausted himself to protect himself, and struggled to shuttle in the endless political games and the whirlpool of the times......

But this was the first time, the first time he felt so really:

Times have changed.

Tails took a deep breath.

"So I guess that makes your appearance today even more important......" Gilbert's words returned to his ears.

But Tails had no intention of listening.

"Little ...... Plug ......"

Tails subconsciously spoke, but could only spit out a few single notes.

Gilbert frowned.

Until the second prince looked up indifferently:

"Longxiao City...... What about the Archduchess?"

Gilbert was silent for a while, as if he had expected it, and as if he wanted to say something.

But Duke Xinghu's gaze was too intense.

It's overwhelming.

"According to the current information......"

Gilbert spoke with difficulty: "After the big victory, the Liberal League claims ......"

"They captured the commander of the enemy army. ”

"Life and death are unknown. ”

At that moment, Tails' ears were silent.

It was as if the entire Mindis Hall had been completely silenced.
