Path of The Dragonborn

"It should be over soon... Afternoon tea time, I don't think you will be with me. As for the evening party... I guess I don't have time here, I don't know where you are..."

"Let me see the situation." Heliga said. After all, Juss still has a mission. The luncheon of this banquet was only because of the Duke's social request. Although more or less, Earl Helmut was dissatisfied with the actions of Earl Goti at this time, but the two of them can be regarded as having friendship for more than 20 years, and the development of the public for more than 20 years. It is also inseparable from the massive investment support brought by Earl Goti. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to tear the skin for such a small matter.

"In the afternoon, the nobles just now should all be here again..." Juss said with some worry, "Is it all right?"

"It's okay." Heliga said-speaking of intelligence collection, he has a safer method, and this time he is only taking the initiative to test. Although I didn't have any thoughts about the Earl of Amancia before-but this time, the attendance may not be worthless.

"Since you said that." Juss nodded. "Where do you live tonight? After the dinner, it should be very late."

"According to their level of enthusiasm today, it is possible for an individual to be so energetic all night or even... and in fact, there will be some local noble outings organized by Earl Goti in the next two days, right?" Hai Liga recalled the schedule of this banquet, "Well, but I won't even attend this all at once." Heliga thought about it for a moment, "As for the place of residence... Actually, I haven't thought about it. But it must be. If you want to say, there should be many hotels in Bariahat that are still open."

"Huh, don't come." Juses also smiled, "You come this time, you also met me, and also showed our relationship among the nobles-at this moment you suddenly ran into the city I went to the hotel, what would people talk about me?"

"I don't want to cause you trouble." Heliga said deliberately, "I remember Fei said long ago that the relationship between you and your father doesn't seem to be so good."

"Yeah...but right now he is very busy in Olooklos fortress. There is no need to run back to the main house in the city in the middle of the night. The butlers are actually much better than the father himself. Say more."

"If that's the case, then you can only harass in the Duke's Mansion." Heliga said solemnly on purpose.

Perhaps only in such a more private occasion-Juss could let go of his cold personality a little bit. After the two laughed, Euses took the initiative to talk about other business matters.

"Speaking of which...you should know the whereabouts of other people? Since you and His Royal Highness Olibate, you have moved and prepared since then."

"I don't deny it... But in most cases, he unilaterally tells me the information. The object of my main activity is not in the empire. This is also to avoid being discovered too obvious—"

"Discovered?" Juss asked strangely. "Aristocratic? Reformed?"

"It's on both sides. Although it's strange, the reformists seem to be more laissez-faire about the actions of His Royal Highness Olibat... and the nobles, in fact, they have been preparing for armed war since that time. You should Is it clearer than me? I don't think they will put too much energy into it-even if the "Red Wing"'s single-ship combat capability is excellent, its influence on the entire huge battle situation is actually not too conspicuous. "

"Then you are?"

"Actually, I'm avoiding the eyeliner of "Association"...Although there is no evidence before, but now it seems that the cooperative relationship with "Association" is not the reformist I had always suspected before, but Kane as the leader. Aristocracy. "

"How to say?"

"First of all, the self-discipline weapons in the Galeria Fortress are undoubtedly the works of "Association"-but in theory, many of the "Association and Thirteen Workshops" works are also sold on the black market. With the financial resources and channels of the funder behind the scenes of Duke Kane, it is not impossible to buy large quantities of self-discipline weapons, but it is obviously not related to the association. But then, in what happened at the Zaxon Iron Mine, the sniper, that is, Klo, used a creation from the "Black Atelier", which is hard to find even on the black market. Various auxiliary functions that are absolutely unattainable in current technology have also been added. Finally, and the most important point-just two weeks ago, an apostle of the "Association", "The Abyss of the Blue", who was the one who showed us the live broadcast of the imperial capital attack, came to me personally. . "

"What?" Juses frowned. "What did she say?"

"Let's say it's a deal--I don't want to disclose the specific content yet, but one of her rewards is Li En's current whereabouts, and a guarantee that her Royal Highness will not deal with us for a period of time."

"Li En's whereabouts? And this guarantee..."What happened to "a period of time"? "Uss deserves to be Uss. He quickly grasped the key message in Heliga's words.

"The specific content is that I will not interfere with the plan of "Association" this time, and the "Association" will not do anything to me-although I doubt whether they can do what to me, but if he chooses you and As for the princess, I am not sure that I can take care of everyone. And in any case, it is also a good thing to be able to temporarily stay away from the association. But, do you think it is really possible that I have been planning for so long with His Royal Highness Olibate not to be involved in the civil war at all? "

"...That's the case. Is that what you mean? That silver-haired man with strong swordsmanship seems to be called "Sword Emperor"... is this because of this? "

"No... for some reason, he is currently in the process of cultivating associations, which is somewhat similar to Miss Xuelun. In short, at least in this incident, he said that he was on my side." Heliga said. , "And others will not say for the time being... Juss, what's your position? Given the extent of your participation in the civil war in the Duke's house, you can't just stay out of the matter casually, right?"

"I..." Euses seemed to want to say something, but his eyes gradually became confused. "I don't know... Although I don't fully agree with the nobility, but..."

"I don't want you to answer now... but as time goes by, you will have to come up with a clear answer sooner or later, rather than fooling around with excuses like "How about the Duke's house" and "How about the nobles". "Heliga said simply, interrupting Juss's words, "Now Lien is hiding in the mountains of Isingert in the northern part of the empire together with the "Grey Riding God". "

"How is he... now?" Although he was saved by Red Wing in the end, it was precisely because of Li En's hard work that he dragged the "Blue Riding God" enough time and gave Red Wing a chance to come to the rescue. . In the duel between Li En and Crow, because of the performance brought about by the awakening level of the riding god, and the disadvantages caused by the difference in weapons, the damage was very serious, and he was even considered life-threatening at the time.

If there is something other than the territory that makes Euses feel a little worried and guilty during the civil war, it is to let Lien go alone to fight a powerful enemy like Crowe-and in the end, in essence, , He was the only one who was forced to leave everyone far away.

"Severely injured...but there is no life-threatening. The "riding god" will transfer part of the power in the spiritual veins to the initiator to heal various injuries, and the spiritual power in the Isingert Mountains It's quite adequate, and its remote location makes the smoke of the civil war not permeate there temporarily. "Heliga's words made Juses feel a little more relieved, "In fact, after a while, if I have the conditions, I will find a way to find him. "

"How did you know? Is this also "association"—"

"Yeah. You guessed it right... One of the conditions for the association to agree not to take action against His Highness Alfin is that Li En must participate in the "War of Mounting God" with Crow. The original plan of the association was to take His Highness Alfin and Elysée abducted, thereby forcing Lien to confront the noble alliance, but because I intervened, they came to negotiate terms. "

"What if you don't agree? It sounds like this "War of Mounting God" seems to have some incredible elements in it? "

"Well... What Vita wants is to witness the results and the process itself. It doesn't matter who wins and who loses-what is important is the sense of ritual of the battle between the riding gods. The reason why they assisted Kane may be here. Right. Like I said before, all the action policies of "Association" are based on the existence of the Supreme Treasure, perhaps because of the relationship between the ritual between the riding gods and the Supreme Treasure. "Heliga explained. Although Vita and the church's intelligence gave him some inferences about the actual situation, he still felt that he should be more cautious before there was real evidence.

"But... not to mention that if you participate in that battle, you will inevitably be involved in the civil war-just speaking of this matter... With Lien's character, he will really take the initiative..."

"Yeah... this is also a difficult problem. In terms of his character, he probably won't take the initiative to do something when it is not necessary, so this is equivalent to leaving the problem to me. What is your advantage? Is there any way?"

"I... don't know. He is more elusive than we thought. Crowe was suspicious in school, so even if his true identity was exposed, I didn't have much surprise in it. , But Lien..." Euses sighed, "He seems to always want to... free himself at some point?"

"Probably...because he is too undesirable in some respects. But he himself can't see this." Heliga took it seriously, "Anyway, if you have no good way If that is the case, then I can only try to use "that" to push him. "

"You mean..." Euses thoughtfully, "That magical power in him?"

"Right. Don't you think? Me and him, in this sense, still have a lot of similarities. If we can make use of it-I don't want him to get involved in the civil war too much, just like ourselves... But if this matter is unavoidable, then at least one should go all out and leave no regrets."

"You're right... If you need help then, let me help more or less." After thinking about it, Juss nodded.

"Um...probably there will be. If you want to understand at that time." Heliga blinked. "Everyone is fine except him. Gaius has returned to his hometown of Nord, Ari. Sha and Miriam followed. The former was because her grandfather was also there, and the latter was because it was easier to escape the noble coalition from searching for her as the "son of iron and blood." Laura and Emma are currently in Regram. They have been dealing with the abnormal changes in the surroundings due to abnormal spiritual veins. Now the pressure should be a little less-Faye, Elliott and Macias are all with me Here, I am going to find an opportunity to send Eliot and his sister to the Garella fortress, to find a way to reunite their family-then how they act depends on their own ideas. "

"Hmm...makes sense. But...huh, that guy seems to be desperate for the time being because his father's freedom is restricted?" Although he was still verbally unforgiving towards Macias, Euses' The tone has become much softer than usual.

"Don't say that...this time he was with me, and he helped a lot for the time being." Heliga defended Macias, "but it is true... his father is at the center of the rebellion after all, and I have no choice but to have a high position."

"What about Elliott? The Galeria Fortress and the Shuanglong Bridge area are currently the main battlefield... It's okay if you are alone. Would it be too dangerous to take the two of them?"

"Well...so it's not appropriate now. But don't worry, after a while, the war will come to a halt. If you use that time, it should be enough." Heliga believes, "I heard from them just now. A lot of information about the war."

"How do you say?" Juses wondered.

"I didn't mean to belittle your father... But in terms of military abilities, no one in the entire Kruchin State nobles can reach half the level of "red hair." After a while, your father should ask for help from the headquarters of the Noble Alliance because the loss exceeded expectations... It should be the best time before Duke Kane and your brother can reply to him. "

"I don't deny... But what after that?" Juses' expression was slightly unnatural, but he nodded slowly, and then raised another question.

"Except for Kruchen State, the noble coalition forces in other regions have obvious advantages. The regular army has been dispersed and it is difficult to form a response... At that time, other regions should send various reinforcements to help your father." Heliga After thinking about it, "At that time, no matter how powerful General Craig is, he will be hard to beat with four hands... If there is no sudden change in the situation, maybe this is the case."
