Chapter 336 King’s Leader

The night passed, and the morning light pierced the dark night.

The team continued to march southwest, and the Iron Guards of 300 people took away a group of lances.

After crossing the defense line of Beacon City, the boundless grassland of the Norvos Plain came into view. However, after a few days, there were few villages, and even the cultivated land was not as much as expected. The extremely intense fighting brought a heavy blow to this land.

Refugees cannot easily settle down wherever they go. Settling down requires the approval of the local nobles' ruling office. After the death of many nobles, the royal capital, major families, and powerful ministers all sent vassals here in a tacit understanding.

Tipeon and Selina, the heads of the two marquis families, are opposed to this obvious weakening behavior. Therefore, the matter is still in the process of being pushed forward and has not yet been fully implemented. There is no basic condition for controlling the refugees.

Nowadays, the Norvos Plain is full of chaos. There are many forces supporting the thieves group behind the chaos, and Tumitit ranks at the forefront.

One morning, outside Blood Lion City.

The newly promoted Marquis Tipeon went out to greet him with his guards, because on the surface Castaro and Tumitit were half allies. In the eyes of the outside world, the two sides did not get too close because they were concerned about their relationship with the royal capital. After all, the original intention of the canonization of King Blood Marquis was to suppress him vigorously.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the carriage and mounted the alchemy horse, accompanied by several iron guards.

"Your Highness, there is a lot of chaos here now. I have prepared a bodyguard for you. This should be a response to our friendship of fighting side by side in the past."

After not seeing each other for many years, Tipeon became very fat. He killed his younger brother Mizel and forced the old Marquis to abdicate. He had already avenged half of his wife's revenge.

But when he sat in the position of marquis, he clearly realized how stable Darius' position was in the center of the royal capital.

Five years have passed, and the expected marriage between Tipeon and Selina has encountered unprecedented resistance. No one wants to see the birth of a force that can influence the overall situation in Novos.

Before all-out war, the marriage would have failed as a matter of course.

As Selina married a vassal in order to consolidate her position, Tipeon also married the former legitimate daughter of a superior noble. Due to their late birth, there was not much age difference between the two.

Time makes the wife's face gradually blur, and after the goal is achieved, the human god no longer appears in the dream.

This became a secret he never told.

"Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Yuan looked at the charming red-haired woman holding the child beside him, "Boreas?"

"Yes." Tipeon suppressed his incomprehensible expression and introduced with a smile: "I heard that their family has a nine-year-old bachelor who was promoted to a soil saint level magician years ago. Even in the royal capital, this is unheard of. genius."

"Rudeus was hired to teach Alice. He is very polite." The red-haired woman continued hesitantly: "It's just that he is a bit...precocious. He gets along well with Kirenu. I heard that he is doing it to earn money." The expense of going to Lanoa to study with my childhood sweetheart.”

There was a hint of disgust in Tipeon's eyes, but because the other person's appearance and family background had faded away, the young Earth Saint and the Beast Sword King, this woman who was always promoting her status, was completely inferior to...

Thinking of this, Tipeon sighed. He could no longer remember his wife's face.

"Then let's say goodbye. Bandits are rampant in the plains, and we have to rely on the Marquis to suppress the chaos."

Jiang Yuan did not look at the middle-level soldiers in the marquis's guard, turned his horse's head, and the two sides said goodbye.

... The convoy passed through the Blood Lion City, and day and night passed until a majestic giant city appeared in front of them. This was one of the three famous royal fortresses in the Kingdom of Asra. It surrounded the direct territory of the royal family and blocked the north and the south. Even if During the war between humans and demons, this barrier was never breached.

At this point, the environment has become peaceful. From time to time, you can see row upon row of village houses and vast expanse of farmland. The people are densely populated. When night comes, the earth is dotted with orange light. On the premise that Novos tax has been cut in half, the direct royal territory can still maintain its status. The operation of the entire central area and the enjoyment of the royal capital's nobles.

On the last night, in a manor less than fifty miles away from the royal capital, the motorcade stopped for repairs. The property here was a resting place prepared by the ceremonial department of the royal capital for the royal blood.

Because it was far away from the war, the castle was transformed into a villa, surrounded by only white-painted fences. The Iron Guard drove away the servants and guards inside, and then entered the duty position at the same time.

Jiang Yuan met the etiquette officer who came to communicate. He was the one who organized his wedding. And just yesterday, he was temporarily promoted to one of the twelve deputy chiefs by the chief of etiquette. Can he stay in his position in the future? , depending on the performance during the term, mainly refers to whether the previous princes and the center are harmonious. With the rise of the new rich, he has been regarded as a member of the Tumitit camp.

"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you."

The etiquette officer smiled brightly, and the two secret spies serving as bodyguards next to him retired.

Sheng Yi, who was standing behind the chair, said: "Sir, because the conditions are suitable, Your Excellency the etiquette officer is currently one of the downlines, but your loyalty is still open to question."

The etiquette officer seemed not to have heard anything and leaned forward to salute meticulously.

"I want to know the current situation in the royal capital and whether there is anything worth mentioning." Jiang Yuan said.

"Back to Your Highness, the royal capital is peaceful as usual, but when it comes to things worth noting, there are a few." The etiquette officer replied: "First of all, Duke Pilemon came to the capital to report on his duties. He and Princess Ariel were there together. Appearing at the banquet basically announced that the princess had the support of the superior nobles. This official news caused an uproar.

Secondly, several slaves who escaped from Darius's mansion caused trouble. One of them was the legitimate daughter of the earl. She claimed that she was forcibly possessed by Darius and was subsequently imprisoned for being evil. As for her appearance, , with a petite and pleasant figure, so everyone thought it was true.

In addition, there is also an ongoing knight competition. I heard that several aristocratic academies in the royal capitals have sent their best students to participate, and the final winner will receive an award of royal blood. "

After finishing speaking, the etiquette officer pondered for a long time and continued: "Recently, His Majesty has added a new prince, but there are bad words circulating in the Silver Palace, the pregnancy period is wrong, and the beautiful beauty was previously kept in captivity by the first prince. There are different opinions in the imperial court."

The ceremonial officer said several more things, becoming more and more secretive.

When it was over, Jiang Yuan looked at Sheng Yi.

"Sir, it's basically consistent."

In an instant, thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the etiquette officer's heart skipped a beat. His hearing seemed to be amplified, and the sound of the two guards behind him sheathing their swords seemed to pierce his eardrums.

"Go down." Jiang Yuan picked up the deer blood wine bottle and took a sip.

"Your Highness?" The etiquette officer was puzzled. He should have passed the test.

"I have seen your loyalty, but there are others. Let everyone who can see see it and come to me again." Jiang Yuan said.

"Understood." The etiquette officer resigned and mingled in the royal capital. He had already adapted to the ability to get through with a little bit. The people in front of him didn't care about his loyalty. Others thought so, so he could be used. In short, he lacked something. It is not enough to be regarded as a member of the camp in a vague way. It must be clear and thorough.
