The crystal clear water drops gently from the bright red lychees, and there is a hint of sweetness in the air.

Although it is winter now, the planting techniques that the half-elf family are proud of still make litchi, an off-season fruit, appear in the palace.

Colin is sitting high on the half-elf throne, with a face of enjoyment letting Aisha female Royal General take a peeled lychee into his mouth.

The beauty is in her arms, the soft language is gentle, and the sweet lychees.

Colin has to admit that Warm Countryside is really a hero's grave.

No wonder that many formidable persons who used to call the wind and summon the rain have all been consumed by luxury and corruption of their ideals and ambitions.

"Your Majesty, Viscount Alston has been brought here." The attendant reported in the hall.

Only Queen Aisha got up from Colin's arms, neatly tidying up her half-open clothes, and then commanded in a plain and natural tone: "Bring in."

Colin also got up from the throne and walked off the platform.

Two guards also escorted Viscount Alston in from outside the hall.

"Okay, you can withdraw."

The guards left the palace, leaving Viscount Alston crouched, cautiously saluting Queen Aisha and Colin.

This former high-spirited and vigorous viscount of the East is now in a panic.

Colin came to Viscount Alston and greeted with a smile: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with the hospitality these days?"

"Satisfied, satisfied! Your Majesty is right My hospitality is impeccable!"

Colin smelled the sour odor left by the other person who hadn't taken a bath for many days, and quickly stepped back to move away from him.

"Satisfaction is good. I came to you today to ask a few questions. If you answer well, Your Majesty will consider sending you back to the east."

Viscount Alston face A touch of joy appeared on it, repeatedly nodded and said: "Excuse me! I must tell the truth!"

"Who revealed the whereabouts of Black Cavalry to you?"

" This...I don’t know. Really, Lord Anglia, I didn’t mean to shirk. The military order to go to Shadow Canyon to ambush was directly issued by the Duke of Saint Prolos. Don’t say me, I’m afraid even Marquis Vincent doesn’t know about it. The whole story."

Viscount Alston looked embarrassed, and seemed to worry that he would not be able to answer his first question, which would make the other party think that he was deliberately uncooperative. After thinking about it, he quickly added:

"However, at the beginning, we accompanied us to Shadow Canyon, and there was Mage Cuusius. He was the deputy speaker of the Ivil Council and a powerful sixth rank mage.

So, I suspect that the Shadow Canyon battle , It’s probably the Ivil Council behind it."

Colin frowned, and did not expect to involve a power of wizards, which seemed to make the current situation more complicated.

However, Colin always felt that the Ivil Council might have been involved in this incident, but they were definitely not behind the scenes.

The imperial nobles have always been repellent and wary of these mages. Impossible really makes them lead by the nose.

But looking at this picture of Viscount Alston, it is estimated that there is no more useful information to ask.

So, Colin changed the subject: "During your siege of Silver Moon City, did you intercept the homing pigeons from the north?"

This time, Viscount Alston decisively nodded: "Yes. And, it's from Ice Rock City."

Colin was refreshed and asked quickly: "Where is the letter?"

"The letter... I don't know where to go. That's..." Viscount Alston made trouble again, but then quickly said, "I remember the outline of the letter, I can repeat it to you."

"Say."

" Okay. There are three things mentioned in the letter.

The first one is about Duke Saint Hild. The letter says that more than half a month ago, the Prince of the North of the Troll Empire, Paladin Otto Volkin, suddenly Appeared in Winter City, and issued a duel invitation to Duke Saint Hild.

Duke Saint Hild immediately challenged, the two played murky heavens dark earth, Sun and Moon lost radiance, and finally reached a tie..."

"Tie?" Colin exclaimed, "You mean, Duke Saint Hild is actually Paladin?"

"I'm afraid so, otherwise he would be impossible to push Paladin back. Otto."

Colin didn't expect the first news in the letter to be so explosive.

Only then did he understand why Marquis Garcia could not bear it after being betrayed by his big brother.

He originally thought that Marquis Garcia didn't want to let the Saint Hild family fall into an internal fight, but now it seems that he knows his big brother's trump card!

This also explains why Duke Saint Hild dared to marry Vera to the semi-elf kingdom in an unstable situation inside, trying to encroach on the east.

Strongly suppressing the inner shock, Colin motioned to Viscount Alston to continue.

"The second thing is that this year there is a shortage of food in the northern border, and slave rebellions have occurred frequently in various places, and they have intensified. Golden Lion Legion has sent troops to suppress it under the order of Duke Saint Hild.

The last thing is that your viscountry is also short of food, which also caused several rebellions, but fortunately they were all suppressed in time. The current situation is fairly stable."

Listen After finishing the three pieces of information in Ice Rock City's letter, Colin was lost in thought for a while.

He now feels more and more that he has a pair of mysterious big hands that manipulate all of this behind his back.

The previous doubts can't help but spring up again.

Who poisoned the Marquis Adam in the Roar Fort?

Who instructed Sith Savoy to assassinate Vera?

Who instigated the Eastern Territory to send troops to Shadow Canyon to ambush Black Cavalry?

Who arranged for Prince Paladin Otto to challenge Duke Saint Hild?

And it just happened to choose a point in time when the rebellion broke out in the north.

Think about it carefully. I am afraid that even the slave rebellion that is erupting in the northern border has been instigated and induced.

If Duke Saint Hild didn't intentionally hide his strength, I am afraid that he died in a duel with Paladin Otto at this time, and the Northern Territory will definitely fall into the chaos of dragons without a leader.

Considering that Black Cavalry was ambushed in Shadow Canyon, one of the most stable military pillars in the north collapsed.

From this, it can be judged that the real purpose of this mysterious person behind the scenes is to plunge the North into civil strife!

As soon as I thought of this, Colin couldn't help but think of the gloomy face of Count Uman.

When the troll invaded, Colin had suspected that the trick that this guy offered to Duke Saint Hild might contain evil intentions.

Could it be this time that Count Uman planned all this behind the scenes?

Colin's silence made Viscount Alston uneasy, and it took a long time to cautiously ask: "Viscount Lord, do you have any other questions?"

Colin came back to his senses, shook the head and said: "That's it. Okay, I will return you to the east as promised, as long as you can bring me a letter to the Duke of Saint Prolos."

"Please Say."

"Tell the Duke of Saint Prolos that if you want to redeem his son, he will use Marquis Garcia in exchange."

"Okay, I will definitely help you with the words. There."

Waving his hand, Colin motioned to Viscount Alston to step back.

When Queen Aisha saw Colin who was lost in thought, she seemed to realize something, so she walked to Colin and asked softly: "Are you leaving?"

Colin nodded: "Yes, I have to return to Ice Rock City as soon as possible. I am afraid that there will be a great chaos in the north."

Queen Aisha did not persuade much, but fell into Colin's arms and whispered softly: "If anything is needed Help, please tell me."

Colin felt the warm lovable body in his arms and the fragrance surrounding the tip of his nose, and smiled:

"I really need your help. "
