It's almost summer, and it's getting darker and darker. Outside the camp, campfires were still burning, dry wood beeping and peeling, and the nocturnal magicians of today's vigil sat around and chatted casually.

Although the recruits began to have a sense of organization with the addition of Chief Jana, the camping and aimless killing time in the past few days made them a little confused.

Except for the time when Bai Lianzhou strayed into the woods, at other times, these ambitious recruits had never seen the so-called "enemy" at all.

There are no wars and conflicts, there is no tension of life and death, and none of the cruel images that were once expected in my mind have appeared.

Drawing the curtain, Aaron Kirk lit a candle and slipped under the covers.

"What do you do when you can't sleep?" he asked.

Bai Lianzhou replied: "Same as now, chat." ”

Coldly, on the bed farthest away from the candlelight, Rin Ye suddenly turned over and said, "At the beginning, when you, Brother Bai, came to the astrology clan, we were like this now, chatting all night, junior brother, remember?"

Bai Lianzhou nodded at the candlelight and smiled at him.

This sentence made him have a lot of sad memories.

It's been almost a year in the blink of an eye. A year ago, he came to the Violet Empire with the belief that he would be deceived, sold, and even killed, and now there is nothing left.

"What's wrong?" Rin asked, "You have a weird look." ”

Bai Lianzhou was silent. At first, he didn't believe in gods, he was just a young man who was enthusiastic and dedicated to studying spiritual arts, but now he had to plan for his own livelihood.

"Hey, junior brother, tell me about your legendary experiences. Rin Ye urged, "I used to like to hear you sigh about life, why haven't you said anything lately?"

"What's there to sigh about, it's all ordinary things. Bai Lianzhou turned over and gave him a blank look.

"He's a bizarre story, he's hiding it, and he doesn't want to tell you. Rin Ye turned his head and accosted Aaron again, "Tell me first, why do you worship little Sissel so much?"

Aaron could hear the disdain in his tone, it was normal for the water spirit master to look down on the mercenary group in his heart, and he was not angry, he only said: "Our fire spirit master has a natural affection for people with strong spiritual power, my family has been loyal to the Corion family for generations, and the eldest lady of the Corion family is the righteous sister of my master's childhood sweetheart. ”

Rin Ye got up in high spirits and asked, "Does he still have a righteous sister?"

"Well, Miss Leia Corion, she's beautiful. Aaron nodded and added, "Much better looking than Melly, and...... Oh, now that's her sister-in-law. ”

During the war, there were always some outstanding people, and this was how the Sissel family rose to prominence, and the ordinary mercenary Karen also took the opportunity to achieve great military achievements and eventually became an excellent general.

The Sissell and Corrion families have been friends for generations, with one side having the most powerful killer organizations and civilian legions, and the other monopolizing the smelting, weapons shops, and expensive metals of the entire empire.

Originally, the young master of the Sissel family would marry the young lady of the Corian family as his wife......

However, in order to control the resources of force, King Sander decreed that Miss Leia should be married to Crown Prince Rock Langdon.

Just before Jensen Sissel was born, His Majesty the King made this decision and announced that if General Karen returned victorious, he would give the Sissels Ember City, the closest medium-sized city to the royal capital of Fagan.

Today, it was a concentration camp for the Assassins, the largest supplier of equipment for the royal guards, and the largest expensive metal factory for the Corion family.

Aaron Kirk and his brother Maguta were the children who grew up in the city, and naturally, the person they admired the most was the lord of the city, the head of the Sissel family, Mr. Jensen.

"No wonder," Rin Ye said slowly, "does your master like that young lady from the Corrien family?"

"Such a talented woman with top spiritual power, plus her original peerless beauty, who doesn't like her?"

Rin Ye's inadvertently asked a question casually provoked such a big reaction from Aaron Kirk, and Bai Lianzhou couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of woman was the young lady of the legendary Corion family.

"Prince Langdon was recently married, and all the people of Fagen and Ember City went to their wedding, and Princess Leia is indeed beautiful. Aaron's face was gloomy, and he sighed lightly: "But she is not the same as what I saw in private, and Master did not attend...... She didn't seem to be very happy. ”

Rin Ye hurriedly asked, "He didn't go?"

"yes, avoid suspicion, and...... If you see it, you will be even more unhappy. ”

"Why?"

Aaron was stunned and didn't know how to reply.

"Senior brother, you have a snack, I don't understand this. Bai Lianzhou sneered, and said, "Mr. Sissel and the princess's childhood sweethearts, if they go, the bride's heart will fly away." ”

"That's right. Rin Ye replied sullenly, "His Royal Highness the prince is getting married, did he send any gifts?"

"I don't know what it is, but I'll definitely give it away," Aaron said, "If I were him, I would definitely go to rob the marriage, what family, fame, not leaving these behind, definitely not true love." ”

As soon as these words came out, Rin Ye and Bai Lianzhou laughed out at the same time.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Marriage robbery...... He's sure he can do it. Bai Lianzhou did not hesitate, "But whether it's worth it now or not, it's hard to say." ”

Aaron stubbornly denied: "Do you still need to think and hesitate for the sake of your beloved?"

Bai Lianzhou sat up straight, narrowed the distance between the two slightly, and asked with a smile: "Let me ask you, what do you think of the relationship between the Langdon royal family and the Sissell family?"

"Not good. "Aaron was categorical.

"How bad?"

"Rock Langdon is going to kill my master, and I can't let him do it. ”

This answer given without hesitation made the brothers a little stunned, and they both turned their heads to look at this naïve teenager on the left and right, silently expressing their confusion with their eyes.

"It's true, I heard with my own ears that Prince Locke and the head of the Corion family, the Hephaus patriarch of the Spirit Clan, are discussing how to get rid of the wings of the Sissel family......"

"Hefes Corion?" Bai Lianzhou asked after a moment's hesitation.

Aaron nodded and said, "I thought that with Master's strength, he could definitely become the new Minister of War in the future, but now I feel that there is no need for that at all." ”

Rin Ye asked, "What did the Spirit Clan Patriarch say?"

"Brother Ye, in front of the royal family, the opinion of a patriarch is not important. Aaron replied earnestly, "Don't forget, his daughter is still in the hands of the crown prince." ”

Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, the words that came out of his mouth did not look like a teenager could speak at all.

Bai Lianzhou originally thought that most of the people in the Gerry Empire were reckless men with developed limbs and simple minds, and their martial arts skills were acceptable, so they would not have too much infighting. Unexpectedly, several major families have tried their best at the level of power.

He didn't know whether to feel sorry for Mr. Sissel, or to be glad that he was born in troubled times and had to coordinate the overall situation, but he was also glad that he was a mercenary who could get out of the sea of suffering early and do things for his master without worries.

"Actually, the princess is not only the daughter of the patriarch of Hephaus, but also the great envoy of the Spirit Clan. After a brief silence, Aaron continued, "This matter is not public, so outsiders don't know about it. That Lancelot...... To put it bluntly, he came out to block the knife for Princess Leia. ”

"Alas......" Bai Lianzhou sighed.

As an apprentice or a friend, Bai Lianzhou could see that Mr. Sissel and the princess had no chance from the beginning. It is bold to guess that the Patriarch of the Spirit Clan has a deeper purpose, which is to let his daughter entrap the mercenary group, so that Jensen Sissel can do his best to serve the Corion family.

You must know that the status of the Patriarch of the Spirit Clan is the highest in the spiritual world of any empire, and the opinion of the Patriarch Hephaus will play a certain role in the development of the mercenary group and the rise and fall of the Sissel family in the future - the political situation of multiple forces entrenched in one place like the Gerry Empire means that the royal family is easy to lose control of a certain family, and if one is not involved and suppressed by the other, it is only a matter of time before the central power loses its authority.

Then, with the Zhenshi Decision as the lead, the prelude to the power struggle between the three families has already kicked off when Jensen Sissel unveiled the reward order for the crusade against the Yu Patriarch.

"Have the people of your country seen the undead?" Rin Night abruptly changed the subject.

"No, not even the hunters who went to the northern desert to look for treasure a few days ago have not seen it. Aaron frowned, and said, "From the north, it must be ......."

He glanced at Bai Lianzhou, and stopped talking.

"Senior brother, don't listen to their nonsense. Rin Ye took the lead and persuaded, "If you say anything about black fog and black fog, those wind spirit masters will be alarmist." ”

"Well, rest assured. Bai Lianzhou lifted the quilt and got out of bed and asked, "Are you two hungry, I'll go to the front tent to get you some food." ”

"I'm a little hungry, but I don't have anything to eat today, so you can grab some. Rin Ye touched her stomach, "Look at Gwendrin." ”

"She sleeps with the chief, and I'm not going to provoke her. Bai Lianzhou refused.

At this point, he suddenly didn't want to refuse.

I've been getting along for more than a year, and of course it's clear what kind of temperament and character the junior brother has. At this moment, a series of cheap laughs came from the darkness, "If you don't go, I'll giggle......"

"Okay, okay, go, go, I'm not afraid that I will kidnap your daughter-in-law. ”

"How dare you!" Rin Ye suddenly rolled over and got out of bed.

Aaron laughed happily in the bed, and he didn't persuade him at this time, but said, "Why don't you two go together, and see each other, and I'll give you the wind." ”

Rin Ye was stunned for a moment, and boasted: "You kid, this is a good idea. ”

"Let's go!"

Without saying much, the three of them quietly walked out of the camp together in the dark.
