"Oh, Your Highness, this is a novel on your bookcase. I found the prologue quite interesting, so I took it to read." Candelon held up the novel, and the black-haired boy on the cover was a little blurry.
.
"Huh?" Xavier raised his head and looked at the novel suspiciously.
"It was the first encounter between a stable boy and a blond female knight. The boy didn't even recognize Shiraki Zeguo, and even said it was sweet potato, hahahaha..." Candelon laughed, his voice echoing throughout the corridor.
echoed in.
"..." Xavier raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his mouth. Why is this story so familiar?
"Probably because you are old, middle-aged uncle!" The silver-haired knight who walked out of the study curtsied to Xavier, and then made a rude gesture to Candelon.
But it was more like a joke between mercenaries, and the hatred for Candelon in Arthur's eyes was obviously reduced.
"But Your Highness, you can also go and read it. This novel is really good. I heard that it is a knight novelist who came out recently. His name seems to be Kinnell Juellie. The pen name sounds like it is a girl. It is really unbelievable.
."
Arthur smacked his lips, the corners of his eyes were full of fatigue, it was obvious that he hadn't slept for several days.
Hearing this pen name full of malice, I don’t know what Alex would think. Xavier silently held his forehead, it was really a name that only Ekarina could come up with!
Walking into the study room with the two of them, Ye Luo gently closed the door, and the maids around him also consciously moved away from a few doors away. After all, what was going to be discussed next was not what she could hear.
"Ella Ella, am I very powerful! You lost this bet!" Ye Luo whispered to the new maid before, she was obviously very excited.
The little maid only came to Rose Castle in the past few days. After all, for safety reasons, Iyalan and Naples would thoroughly check all three generations of new maids when recruiting them, which would take a lot of time.
Ella was only eleven or twelve years old. She was assigned to sleep with Ye Luo as soon as she arrived. The two younger girls became good friends within two or three days.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you, Yeluo, to actually know Mr. Xavier. Forget it, I lost!" Ella was a little reluctant, but still reluctantly handed the milk candy in her pocket to Yeluo.
…
"Your Highness, this is the information that Candelon and I have investigated." Arthur and Candelon exchanged a look, and he tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously before speaking slowly.
"Except for the Dugueclin family, Qiute and other eleven baron families have agreed to form an alliance with Qiangwei and stay in Noli. Your Highness, this is a qualitative leap. Although many of them are due to the decline of the family, moving south will make them
Completely plunged into economic crisis. However, with their existence, Qiangwei can be regarded as having its first allies."
Arthur thought about it for a while before speaking.
"Well, you did a good job on this matter." Xavier nodded slightly, this is one of the few good news nowadays.
Although those families were declining baron families, Under the Rose even had the support of dozens of earl families in its heyday.
Naturally, it cannot be compared with that time, but it is indeed a timely help for today's roses, even if the "charcoal" has been soaked by water.
"On the other side of the ship, Mr. Blank's fleet is willing to fully assist His Highness. However, they have a history of being pirates. Your Highness is asked to make your own decision. The rest are small sailing groups, but among them there is a captain named Heti.
Although the team is small but has extremely advanced equipment, it also expressed its willingness to assist His Highness because it hopes to become the pioneer of the Aimoyin Sea."
Arthur continued that he and Candelon had been running around these days and collected a lot of information that Xavier needed.
And Candelon took several of his trained cronies and smuggled into Xuansti to search for information about the Hanover family in the towns in the southern part of the West Siberian prairie.
To the south of Xuansti is the desolate West Siberian prairie, which is covered with snow all year round and has a series of extremely high peaks. Further south are some scattered small towns, and then there is the Snow City Linglan, where the snow is the most developed.
The largest city.
Only Candelon could cross that barren prairie.
"A few days ago, I went to the West Siberian prairie, those in the south, and the scattered small towns around Linglan..." After Arthur finished speaking, Candelon also spoke.
However, the taciturn Candelon was obviously not that good at organizing words, and his rough voice rumbled.
"Wait a minute..." Xavier listened quietly, then his eyes suddenly jumped, and he interrupted Candelon in surprise.
"Your Highness, please speak." Candelon looked at Xavier doubtfully, but still nodded respectfully.
"You said you passed through the Sicilian steppe?" Xavier thought for a few seconds before asking.
You must know his previous escape plan. The most dangerous area is the desolate prairie, which spans several continuous mountains and is covered with snow. The temperature is below zero all year round, and there are hidden swamps and
Some large carnivores.
Steam armor and silver ore armor are also difficult to use in that prairie. The low temperature and occasional swamps will put those big guys into danger due to the terrain.
At that time, after deep thought, I also canceled my escape plan across the prairie. Maybe I could escape the pursuit of the Heretic Tribunal, but it would be difficult for me to get out of there alive.
"Yes, Your Highness." Candelon nodded seriously, "Maybe in the eyes of the Santinoa people, it is a dangerous prairie, but in the eyes of our canopy city Cannati people, it is just a place to go home.
It’s just a small road.”
The path home? That's all? Xavier retracted the shock in his eyes, nodded silently, and motioned for Candelon to continue.
"I went with four soldiers from the Heai...Hai...Forget it, the Special Assassin Corps. In those small towns, we got a lot about the current situation of the Hanover family."
Candelon racked his brains to think of the name Xavier had given to his regiment before, but finally gave up. After all, the name was awkward to pronounce and difficult to remember. If Xavier hadn't given it, there was no way he would have used it!
"Your Highness, today's Hanover family still looks huge on the outside, but there are various contradictions within it." Candelon paused and took out a sheepskin scroll on the table.
"The battle between the old and new factions has become fierce, and the conflict between the [Bone Branch] and the [Silver Branch] is getting deeper and deeper. The new head of the family, Leatherman Hanover, has been restricted from a large amount of funds, forcing him to have to fight with
A retired soldier engaged in some black transactions to maintain the new faction's financial needs."
"Not only that, his illegitimate half-sister, the relationship between the brother and sister has been very complicated since childhood, and has even reached a forbidden relationship. The girl named Aiyinke Emil was recently raped by [Bone Branch]
Being engaged to the second son of the Duke of Southern Territory made their relationship begin to break down!"
