Start with Island Lord

The dark prayer house.

Soon, Mrs. Saxon heard the young man's voice again.

"Mother, it's me, Rosen, I'm speaking in your heart."

The voice was very clear, gentle, and precise, without the vague earthy smell of the island natives, and was very similar to the tone of speech of the Shire County nobles.

Mrs. Saxon felt her heart light up, like a sudden glow in the night.

She tried to respond in her heart: "Child, my child, is it really you?"

The voice did not respond to her, but spoke to itself.

"Mother, take your sister back to the inner room of the prayer house now, and say you have a headache and want to rest, then you can see me."

Mrs. Saxon did it without hesitation.

She raised her hand to cover her forehead and said to the old butler who was watching over her: "Afu, I have a headache and I need to rest."

"You go to the door and guard it, don't let anyone in, if anyone wants to come in, just cough a few times."

The loyal old butler did as he was told.

Mrs. Saxon said to her daughter again: "Evelyn, help me down."

"Okay, Mom."

Evelyn did so.

The two slowly left the table, lifted the thick curtain covering the door, and walked into the small room inside the sacrificial house that was as dark as a tomb.

The only light in the small room came from the small door. When the curtain was lifted, Mrs. Saxon quickly looked around the room, wanting to see her son.

She was disappointed.

Except for a small wooden bed in the corner and a statue of Mother Nature embedded in the wall, she saw nothing.

"Where are you, kid?"

Mrs. Saxon asked carefully in her heart.

She was a very cautious woman. She believed that even if her son learned magic, his achievements would not be too high. This trip would definitely be a huge risk.

So, she was trying to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible.

'Puff~'

The curtain suddenly fell down by itself, and the small room became darker and darker. At this moment, Mrs. Saxon saw a tall figure standing by the wall.

As tall as her husband, no, it should be taller than her husband.

‘Ah!’

Evelyn was startled by the figure and screamed subconsciously, but Mrs. Saxon covered her mouth with her mouth only halfway through.

“Don’t scream, that’s your brother!”

Mrs. Saxon whispered in her daughter’s ear.

Evelyn’s tense body relaxed immediately, and she looked at the tall figure in front of her curiously with her big dark eyes.

When her brother left the island, she was only two years old and had no memory at all, so she only knew that she had a brother, but she had never seen him, so she was very curious and looked at him very carefully.

At this time, the tall figure stepped back, and a small black door appeared out of thin air on the wall behind him.

Mrs. Saxon heard her son’s voice again in her mind: “Mother, come in, I’ll take you away from here.”

Mrs. Saxon did it immediately.

She took her daughter’s hand and walked into the small door with a slightly staggering step.

When they walked into the small door, they heard a "click-click" sound behind them. When they looked back, they saw their son standing by the small door, with one hand on the wall, and the wall closed quickly.

After a while, the surroundings fell into absolute darkness, but the darkness lasted less than half a second before being dispelled by a soft light ball emitting white light.

Mrs. Saxon found herself standing in a narrow passage less than one meter wide, with a tall young man wearing black leather armor behind her and a black hole leading deep underground in front of her.

She did not rush forward, but looked at the young man carefully.

With just one look, she was sure that this was her son. Although he was much taller and stronger than he was ten years ago, and his face had changed a lot, his childhood outline was still there.

But there were also many changes that made her feel unfamiliar.

When he was ten years old, his son was taciturn, his eyes were dim, and his body was weak. He felt like a light feather that would fly away at any time.

But the young man in front of her exuded a majestic sense of majesty, like a towering mountain.

The last time someone gave her a similar feeling was the late old duke who she had a glimpse of in Dawn City.

In comparison, her husband Ted was like a stubborn and foolish old farmer in the countryside.

Because he had seen the wisdom of the mages in the big city, he wanted to train his son to be a mage.

He identified the goal, and then he didn't care whether it was realistic. He just worked hard like a bull, moving forward day by day for ten years.

Mrs. Saxon always thought that her husband was stubborn and almost stupid, but the moment she saw her son, she felt that the efforts of the past ten years were worth it.

Her son really became a wise mage, even better than her husband expected.

Much better!

Her dead husband should be at peace.

She couldn't help but reach out to touch her son's face, her voice trembling: "Oh~ Rosen~ It's a pity that your father didn't get to see you."

Rosen respected the old baron very much. Although this alien man was not the father of his soul, his support did help him get through the most difficult time at the beginning of his journey.

But it must be said that the old baron was very stubborn, like a cow, and it was very difficult to get along with him. Even in the letters, the two would often quarrel.

This was also a major reason why Rosen didn't return to the White Sturgeon Island. He really didn't want to quarrel with the old baron every day.

But he finally took over the body of the other party's son. Now that the old baron is gone, he will take good care of the old baron's widow and daughter.

He grabbed the woman's hand in front of him and said seriously: "Mother, father is in the kingdom of God, and he must see all this."

He urged: "But it's not safe here yet, keep going forward."

"Okay."

Mrs. Saxon responded obediently.

With such a son who felt very powerful at first glance, she felt very calm in her heart and had no fear.

On the other side, Rosen felt the obvious emotional changes of the other party after seeing him, and he was secretly pleased in his heart.

'My "Leadership Skill" trained by a large number of samples is really effective. '

The so-called "Leadership Skill" is strictly speaking not a spell, because it basically does not use magic power.

It uses a series of external details that ordinary people can directly feel, such as body language, appearance, posture, language style, etc., to construct a mental suggestion of "power, wisdom, and superiority", which has achieved the effect of "conquering without fighting".

Another word is "kingly aura".

If ordinary people want to have this kind of aura, they must undergo strict training since childhood, but Rosen does not need it. He can achieve near perfection by activating the corresponding ability.

But then again, "Leadership" is just a small path, and it must be used carefully in accordance with identity, status, and occasion, otherwise it may have the opposite effect.

It is commonly known as "being struck by lightning if you pretend too much".

Back to the topic.

The three of them walked down the narrow passage, and Rosen used transformation to close the passage behind him.

After walking for more than 20 meters, the three of them came to a narrow underground secret room.

"Mother, this is the secret room I dug out with magic. It is about 15 meters below the sacrificial house. No one will find it here."

"Mother, you can now tell me what happened in the castle in the past month."

Mrs. Saxon was startled: "Shouldn't we leave immediately?"

She thought Rosen would quietly take them away from the White Sturgeon Island and live on the Veran Island.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Of course not, I plan to take back Crescent Castle."

"Take it back?"

Mrs. Saxon shook her head repeatedly.

"No, you can't do it alone. There are hundreds of knights in Crescent Castle, and your uncle Sir Alais is also there. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Rosen waved his hand to stop him: "Mother, I know all this, and I am not alone. My warriors will pick me up at any time."

"I want to know why the Crescent Knights are loyal to Uncle Alais instead of patiently waiting for me to return?"

He has already written a reply letter, and stated in the letter that he will return within a month.

There are more than 70 Crescent Knights in Crescent City, plus their knight attendants, plus ordinary soldiers, a total of more than 1,400 regular troops.

This group of people can completely defend Crescent City and wait for him to return to take over the position of baron, but they didn't. Instead, they pledged allegiance to Sir Alais early.

Although his reputation on the island is definitely not very good, and the islanders also worship the strong, but the old Baron Ted is also a qualified lord. It's not that there is not even a loyal person, right?

Therefore, the speed at which the Crescent Knights defected was a bit strange.

And it is difficult to find out these insider information that happened in the past through "Detection Guard" in a short time.

The best way is to ask the insider.

Mrs. Saxon felt that she could not resist Rosen's inadvertent majesty, even if the other party was her son.

So she immediately told what happened in the castle.

"That night, the news that your father was assassinated by the forest elves came back, and the whole Crescent City was panicked. We were all scared."

"The Crescent Knights also had internal strife."

"You know, there are three major guard knights in Crescent City, and their attitudes are also very divided."

"Codlin insisted on burning the forest to avenge your father."

"But Hanske said that once the forest fire spreads, it will destroy the White Sturgeon Island. The most important thing to do now is to stabilize the situation and prevent the forest elves from taking advantage of the chaos to attack Crescent City."

"Goodman also believes that for the sake of safety, the defense line should be contracted, a new lord should be selected first, and then avenge the forest elves."

"Just when the dispute was at a standstill, your uncle Sir Alais came to support with his mountain knights."

"That night, they discussed the entire castle hall. All night long. "

"I don't know what happened that night, they didn't let me hear it at all."

"The next morning, Codlin was arrested and thrown into the castle dungeon, and Hanske and Goodman began to support Alais. "

"Hanske came to me and said that he had to do this. Because only in this way would Sir Alais let me and your sister go. "

"Goodman also came to me. He said that you are a waste and not worth relying on. He also said that Sir Alais is a powerful leader who will lead the warriors to avenge your father and protect the safety of Crescent City. "

"The other knights also have no confidence in you. Seeing that the two knights support Alais, they also swear allegiance to Alais. "

Mrs. Saxon talked a lot, a little cumbersome, but the logic was clear.

After listening all the way, Rosen had a general idea of ​​the situation. He slapped the wall a little harder and came to a preliminary conclusion.

"My father's death is very strange, I'm afraid it has something to do with Alais!"

On the other side, Mrs. Saxon was surprised: "How could it be? Alais can't be so outrageous, right? "

Rosen didn't know the difference. He asked: "Mother, if I kill Alais, will you object?"

He has now learned a lot about the current situation of Crescent Castle through Levin and "Detection Guard", and there are countless ways to kill Alais.

Of course, he would choose the method with the least trouble and the greatest benefit.

On the other side, Mrs. Saxon shook her head without hesitation: "No, he is a complete devil. I would rather he die early!"

In this case, Rosen has no worries at all.

He asked again: "Is Knight Codling still alive?"

Mrs. Saxon nodded repeatedly: "He is still alive. Knight Codling has been practicing the Seven Knights' Virtues for many years, and his reputation among the Crescent Knights is very high. They dare not kill him easily."

"But I'm afraid they've been torturing him and he may be seriously injured by now."

This news is enough.

Rosen was very happy, because whether it was his mother's description or his father's letter, it could be seen that this Knight Codling was a truly loyal and righteous man.

Now that this man is still alive, not only will it be much easier to regain the Crescent Castle using normal means, but he will also have a powerful right-hand man in the future.

As for being tortured, that is not a problem at all. As long as the person is not dead, he can save him.

"What does Codling look like?"

"Probably in his early thirties, very tall, almost as tall as your father, which is rare on the island."

Rosen nodded to express his understanding, then stretched out his hand to gently touch his sister's face.

The little girl has been hiding behind her mother like a kitten, watching her brother carefully.

At this time, he timidly wanted to hide, but Rosen

Suddenly he turned his hand, and there was a beautiful little paper box on his palm.

It is the soufflé fudge popular among the aristocratic circles of Shire County.

The little girl was immediately shocked by Rosen's little trick, and her eyes were full of disbelief, but her attention was soon attracted by the aroma of soufflé.

She couldn't help but take one, and an intoxicating sweet smile suddenly appeared on her little face, and the strangeness towards this big brother quickly disappeared.

"Mother, sister, please wait here peacefully, I will take action now."

Without waiting for the two women to answer, he had an idea and activated the transformation technique again.

From the ground, little by little, we 'squeeze' towards the castle dungeon.
