But in Riche's last letter to Xavier, there were names of several trustworthy people, and the full name of Helvin Ampro was written on it.
Xavier also deduced the general cause and effect. Helvin was sent to the Prison of the Dead for his failed attempt to assassinate Richeille, and his torture was signed by Richeille himself.
In this way, he will completely separate himself from Qiangwei, just like Yekarena.
It's just that the Rose family had not yet declined when Helwin entered the Prison of the Undead. Richey, who was in his prime, would actually bury a chess piece like this. Did he already know what would happen in the future?
"Long time no see, Your Highness...or Lord Xavier?" Helvin looked at Xavier with a hint of joy and relief in his eyes. The once young master had finally grown up, how could he not be happy!
"Uncle Helwin, just call him as you like."
During the years when Rose was declining, Xavier almost exclusively stayed in Deniabourne, usually only needing to take carriages and carriages. No wonder he would forget that the driver should get off the car and open the door.
"Lord, please hurry up! You have no idea what happened that night after you left a few days ago!"
The priest approached the two of them anxiously. He held the silver cross tightly in his hand and kept crossing himself on his chest.
Xavier and Helvin looked at each other, and they both began to wonder why the holy priest was so anxious and scared.
The priest looked around nervously, waved to the four Xaviers, and motioned for them to follow him. He got into a small door next to the church door, his steps trembling a little.
"Your Highness..." Ye Luo frowned. She hugged Xavier's arm and wrinkled her little nose. In the air, she felt many scents similar to her own.
But those auras were very weak. If Ye Luo hadn't awakened her second witch talent on the Yin Lai ship, it would have been difficult for her to feel the extremely weak... witch magic power.
"What's wrong?" Xavier followed the priest, with Helvin and Arthur guarding him in front of him and behind him.
From the moment he entered this place, Arthur felt vaguely uncomfortable. He kept his hand on his waist, ready to pull out the knight's sword at any time.
There is an ancient corridor behind this small door. On both sides of the corridor, on the wooden counters, there are many imitations of holy objects and reliefs of holy wars.
On the wall in the center is a giant relief statue of the goddess Nosi with a ten-meter-long banner. The goddess Nosi has her hands open, just like the one in the Nori dungeon. There is a large groove in her hand, with many inlaid in it.
A big piece of jade of sanctions.
When passing by the center of the Nuoxi relief, Ye Luo visibly shivered. She leaned closely towards Xavier and glanced at the Jade of Sanctions in fear.
"I'm sorry, Lord. Baron Holmland is in a terrible state, so we now put him in the quiet room." The priest sighed, "There are two nuns and monks watching him.
"
"The state...is terrible?" Xavier was puzzled.
"Well, I also heard about the first part of this matter from the warden of the dungeon. After all, when I arrived at the dungeon, the baron was already turning blue and huddled in fear. There was a look in his eyes.
There's just fear, like seeing a demon."
The priest stopped, and his face was a little pale, obviously recalling bad memories. He stood there and silently recited a covenant prayer.
"That's a symptom of being possessed. The devil comes from hell. He must have been corrupted by the devil. It's terrible. You know, it's simply terrible!"
The priest trembled and stopped in front of a room. He took a deep breath before opening the wooden door.
"Father, you are here!" There were two nuns in the room. They were obviously relieved when they saw the priest. Although the patient in front of them seemed to be healthy now, they still looked at Holmulander.
The baron was a little frightened.
"Let me out, I have something very important to ask Lord Xavier!"
Baron Holmland struggled to get up from the bed, but his body was controlled by a special restraint and he could not move at all.
"What's your name?" The priest looked at the somewhat irritable Baron Holmland and said calmly.
"Justin Holmullander! Stupid salmon fat head, I have no mental problems at all!" Baron Holmullander shook his head in annoyance.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mr. Baron has turned out like this." Xavier walked out from behind the door. What surprised him was that this quiet room looked like a high-end noble bedroom.
"Xavier... Sir, is it really you..." Baron Holmland choked. He did not expect that Xavier would come so quickly.
"...Yes, it's me." Xavier gently touched Ye Luo's head. At the previous moment, the little Loli tugged on his sleeves vigorously, and he signaled to Ye Luo that he knew.
"Please Lord Xavier to take in Holmulander, I, Justin Holmullander, am willing to become your vassal!"
There was a trace of struggle on Baron Holmland's face, but in the end he did not resist.
…
On the west side of the continent, the most prosperous trading country is the royal capital of Punokai Castle.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The letter from Sentinoa's secret agent has been delivered!"
"Oh? Let me see."
Sitting on the highest king's seat was a young man with short golden-white hair. He held his chin with his right hand, looking at the prostrate earls and marquises under the table, and pursed his lips in boredom.
Frederick Longafernial, the youngest emperor in the history of Punocai Castle. He was only 18 years old when he came to power a few years ago, and it took him less than two years to regain the fallen imperial power.
He took control of the palace and restored the glory of Frederick's royal family.
Longafourniar came to power with the title of "Frederick III the Great", while the dukes and nobles of Punocai Castle secretly called him the "Northern Blood Bastard". They said that he was the son of the Second Emperor and Ye Kelan's mistress.
Raw hybrid.
However, among the citizens of Punokai Castle, they called him the "Golden White Emperor". They loved and supported this young emperor because he ended the situation of constant wars and complicated internal affairs since the return of the Frederick dynasty.
"There has been a huge change in Nori. The current head of the Rose family, Xavier Cadance, has escaped the pursuit of the Heretic Arbitration Tribunal and the Fate Tribunal, and succeeded to the position of earl in Nori... Tsk, that's a bit interesting..."
Longafniard narrowed his narrow eyes, rubbed his index finger on the name on the parchment, and softly recited the name that was once so familiar.
"Why, does your Majesty have anything to do with Xavier of the Rose Family?" A Duke stood up and looked at Longafourniar with some strange and malicious eyes.
"Once a very good friend." Longafniard whispered, he touched the name at the end and smiled softly.
"Xavier, have you actually fallen to this point?"
"Your Majesty, there is also a treaty on maritime trade and navigation rights sent by Norway. According to the minister's suggestion, Norway is the best port and route for navigation to the north and the Yekelan and Grant routes. This is also conducive to solving the current common problem.
Fort Norkay's Ship Defects for Northern Trade."
The Marquis who presented the sheepskin scroll quietly glanced at the face of the "Golden White Emperor". Since the head of the Rose Family and His Majesty are old friends, His Majesty must also be thinking of helping him, but there are other people who want to bring down His Majesty.
The Duke will definitely hinder His Majesty...
At this time, as long as I find a wording that can convince everyone, I will definitely leave a good impression in front of His Majesty! The Marquis thought smugly.
"Refuse." Longafourniar's face turned cold again, and behind the Marquis, there was a mocking sound.
"Cut off all trade ties with Norway and Lebanon, and increase the sea tax from the Western Continent to Norway through Yingya Point by five times, and the tax on goods docked at Punokai Castle will be increased by three times."
Longafourniar smiled slightly and looked down at the nobles whose expressions were getting worse and worse. The Duke who jumped out to ridicule him before was stared at so hard that his hair stood on end.
"But Your Majesty Frederick, this will greatly reduce the number of ships going to Santinoa and the Far North Route, and the Eagle Cliff Port, and it will cause great losses to the maritime trade of Fort Punocai!"
Five times the sea tax, three times the property tax... The Marquis twitched his lips, you don't want any ships to pass by at all, do you?!
"It's okay. Punokai Castle can support this loss, but..." Longafunial suddenly lengthened his voice, and his warm smile was filled with bone-chilling coldness.
