It was April 25th.
In a basement of the villa, a secret door was opened. The secret door was a passage, which was very narrow, and Ellie Licock had to touch his hands and move forward.
When we arrived inside, a hall appeared. In the center of the hall, a statue of god appeared. This statue was a goddess. A candle in front of the goddess showed a dim light.
"Uncle George, I'm here," Ellie said, lit up another one to make it light up inside.
The one opposite her was indeed the housekeeper George.
George was already gray in his hair, and he sat opposite him with some difficulty, without the kind of respect he was outside.
"The news has been received, it is hard to imagine that he actually recovered the Tafis Manor that we had lost, and killed George Verir, Cecia Berkat, and also obtained the support of the wizard Isador Hagerty." Ellie said calmly at the beginning, but later, when she talked about the two names, her voice trembled: "When Hannet and I were intimate, he once told me that there was something attached to him. Now, judging by what he did, it must be it again. Uncle George, you are also a magician. What do you think about this? Do you think it is a demon or a messenger of the gods?"
"Hmph, I, a magician, just learned a little basic apprentice with Isador Hagerty. I cannot be sure whether it is a demon or a messenger. Although I can feel the huge energy of light on it, the demon will also have brilliance, right? At least now, it is a hero against the Count of Darkness, and has also received support from Isador Hagerty. It is obviously unwise to fight against it."
"Uncle George, you are the one I respect most. Over the years, I would not have survived without your help. I have never seen you as a servant in my heart." Ellie said respectfully: "I hope you can give me further guidance and tell me how to deal with this situation!"
Ellie's obedience, George waved his hand and said, "I said, if the news reaches the territory and the neighborhood, what will you say, the lord look? What will the lord look at?"
"If it were a lord, his mood might be as complicated as me. Such a powerful hero is not good for the lord, but every lord knows that if there is no turning point, we will fail completely. Perhaps in less than many years, our castle will become ruins and this place will become a dark home. I believe that every lord will not act rashly at this time."
"As for the people, their considerations are simply that for them, this hero is the dawn of hope, a savior-like existence. In the present where darkness has been shrouded for hundreds of years, this power can subvert everything." Ellie said, his voice trembling with a hint of tremor.
George clearly understood the worries in her heart, and he whispered: "Lord, our Licock family was originally a viscount, but the constant war has only retained a small piece of territory. You have been working hard to restore the glory of the past, but there is no way to achieve it. Now, this is an opportunity!"
"For most nobles, the emergence of a powerful non-family hero may be a distant problem, but for us, what can we lose? Now we only retain the most basic aristocratic territory. Will this existence satisfy this without looking for more and larger territory?"
"We have nothing to lose, but if we support it with all our strength, we can expand our territory several times with its current strength. If that's the case, why don't we form an alliance? In my opinion, this is definitely a rare opportunity in a century, and its body is still our brother-in-law!"
"Uncle George, please tell me what I should do now." Ellie said firmly.
"Although we have now been reduced to the position of hereditary lords, we were viscounts and ladies, after all, and took out the badges of the family, divided it into two and half, gave it to it, and made it our branch family. In this way, it could appear in the noble meeting as a noble, and gain the position of commander of the coalition, and we could take it for granted."
"Not now? Is it necessary to make so many sacrifices?" Ellie was shocked, although she was prepared: "If we could control..."
"Miss, can you control a man who kills the high Dark Knight? Moreover, it has the support of the great Wizard Isado Hagerty! If a family knight cannot be qualified to speak at a noble meeting, then if there is such a powerful hero, I am afraid that we will be suspicious of all the nobles. If this is the case, why not go further? As a hereditary jazz, with the support of the Wizard Isado Hagerty, coupled with the reputation of the family and heroes, then the dominant meeting will still be
It is possible, of course, you need to contact other jazz. I believe the nobles will agree. After all, there are not many nobles now." At this point, George said a little sadly: "And, no matter what, its body, or the brother-in-law of our family, will be established as a family, and no one can say that it will be won over by other nobles. In the future, its children will be descendants of our family, and as the main family, it is natural for us to obtain part of its spoils."
"Okay, but, if you divide the aristocratic badges, you must divide the territory at the same time. How much do you think we should give is appropriate?"
"Just give it all the south of Apple Ridge, which has almost reached the minimum territory requirement for hereditary jazz, but a branch family contract must be signed."
At this moment, a subtle sound came from outside that was almost impossible to hear. This was a message that should have been very eye-catching, but now, due to years of disrepair, there is only this effect.
"Then let's decide this way. I believe that the news will not be kept confidential for much time. Within three days, it will be conveyed to all the nobles. Since this is the case, we will hold a division ceremony today and confirm that another noble family appeared on the earth - Hannit Edin Licock!" Since the determination was settled, Ellie seemed very determined: "And we will pass the news to all the leaders to know. I believe that all the leaders will come one after another, and even the lords cannot stop it. Therefore, when the nobles come, we will take advantage of the situation to determine the position of the Allies' leadership, and we will not know how far it can do it!"
Hearing this, George's expression became solemn. To be honest, the one who killed Cecia Bercart was one of the five great dark high knights. In the past 150 years, he was deeply afraid of the lords. He killed him and destroyed his corps. The greatest victory since he was suppressed and beaten for more than a hundred years, but this victory was also a kind of hot flame.
"What are you worried about?" Ellie Licock was very sensitive and immediately noticed his change in his expression.
"A existence like it will not come simply for the position of territory and nobles. I am worried now that it has won the title of hero and is supported by all its leaders, which step will it go? Which God's messenger is it, and what faith will it spread?" George sighed and said, "But in fact, there is no need to worry too much. For hundreds of years, darkness has shrouded the earth, and the previous faith has been insignificant. It is said that three hundred years ago, there were also magical arts and paladins on this land, but now, they no longer exist, leaving only the simplest purification technique."
"This question, let's talk about it later, is not the most important." Ellie Licock heard that it was this question, and although he sighed, he did not pay much attention to it.
This is true. Now there is no sense of the power of faith. The persistence of faith and the cruel religious sacred wars are just vague existences.
