After the arrival of spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming in the garden of Ironwood Castle. After all, Richard is also a marquis, and the Hunter family will not be as unfussy as before.
There are more professional workers pruning and designing the garden. There is no extensive management like before. It does still look like that.
"Lord Aragorn, your tea."
Aragorn sat leisurely on a chair in the garden, and Hypatia next to him was ordered by him to make a pot of tea.
After being trained by Aragorn for a period of time, Hypatia's tea-making skills have improved somewhat. At least she knows how to filter the leaves without getting a cup full of tea residue.
It is not without reason that Hypatia is willing to serve Aragorn like a maid. In addition to ordering her to do her work, Aragorn can also give Hypatia pointers on her martial arts practice from time to time.
With Aragorn's vision and level, Hypatia would benefit a lot from just a few words of advice. When she couldn't resist Aragorn, just play the role of a maid. Aragorn would always give a few words of advice according to his mood.
.
"Well, there has been progress."
Aragorn picked up the tea handed over by Hypatia, blew on it, took a sip and commented.
If Li Cha saw this, he would definitely complain. You have a body made of lotus roots and you don’t even have a taste system. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here? You are also drinking my best tea. You are simply wasting your resources.
Fortunately, Hypatia didn't know Aragorn's physical condition. Aragorn's refining level was quite high. With a pile of lotus roots and a few special materials collected by Richard, the resulting body looked almost normal.
There is no difference between people.
"Lord Richard."
"Lord Richard."
Just as Aragorn was enjoying his leisurely afternoon tea time, there was a burst of noise outside.
There is always some movement when Richard comes back, and at least everyone passing by has to show respect to him.
As Richard walked in, he saw Aragorn drinking tea in the garden. This guy was basically familiar with the Hunter family, because everyone knew that he was a guest brought back by Richard, and they all respected him.
Basically, any request that is not excessive will be met.
Such as spoiling Richard's tea and honey.
However, at this moment, Richard could not care less about complaining about the other party for wasting his own good things. When he came in and saw Aragorn, the two of them looked at each other. With a look from Richard, the two foxes reached a consensus.
"Hypatia, please go out first. I have something to discuss with the Marquis."
Hypatia knew that the two of them were probably going to talk about something that was not convenient for others to hear, so she silently exited the garden knowingly, not daring to rely on her own strength to eavesdrop. One was unnecessary, and the other was Aragorn's.
The water was too deep, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be discovered by Aragorn.
"Your Majesty Aragorn, we are going to be in trouble."
"Huh? Don't just come to me with your troubles. You know, I can't help you in this state."
In your current state, you are able to keep an earth-level master in check? The old fox just doesn't let go of the rabbit.
However, this time it was not up to Aragorn to paddle, and Richard had no obligation to carry out this task alone.
"This time it's not my trouble, it's the information about the Rising Sun Cult. Are they here for you?"
"Hmm? The Cult of the Rising Sun?"
Aragorn, who originally looked indifferent, suddenly sat up straight and his face became serious.
"are you sure?"
"Nine times out of ten, sure."
"How did you know?"
"I have my own sources of intelligence."
Naturally, Richard wanted to hide some things from Aragorn. Although everyone was allies, they all hid some secrets in their hearts. This was a tacit thing.
Aragorn also knew that Richard had some inexplicable support, and as an ally, it was impossible for Richard to lie to him about this kind of thing.
"This is the Lord of the Rising Sun walking on earth? Does your Majesty understand the other party's situation?"
"The Lord of the Rising Sun walks in the world, that is, the divine attendant he sits on. Even if his strength is limited, he is also a pseudo-sage. I am afraid that you cannot deal with it now."
"And if the servants of God cooperate with the contemporary pope and use their so-called artifact, the sacred staff, their strength will probably be even higher."
"How high can it be?"
"This depends on the strength of this generation of popes in the church. The higher the strength, the stronger the endurance. Judging from the situation you described, this generation of popes is not very strong. Even if there are divine servants taking action together, they should only be half
The strength of the Holy Spirit."
Aragorn did not ask Richard why he knew the information about the visitor so clearly. He directly introduced the situation of the Divine Attendant to Richard and analyzed the opponent's current strength.
The more Richard listened, the harder it became for him to relax his brows. Although he didn't know how Aragorn came to the conclusion that the contemporary Pope Mi Xiu was not very strong, he knew very well that the Sky High Level was currently the limit of what he could handle.
The Holy Domain is still a completely unfamiliar field of strength to Richard. The only time he saw the Holy Domain taking action was last time in the capital, when he saw Master Qing frightening Mi Xiu who was killing everyone.
If Lord Qing can take action, he may be able to help Richard resolve this crisis, but now Qing is still far away in the royal capital. Regardless of whether this old man who is not easy to take action is willing to help Richard, the people of the Rising Sun Cult have now entered.
The Hunter family's territory is gone, and water far away cannot relieve the fire close by.
"I can't deal with the Half-Saint. Your Majesty needs to think of a way."
Although the words were brief, Richard's meaning was still very clear. I can't take the blame. These people are obviously coming for you. It doesn't matter whether we are allies now. If you still want to paddle and don't contribute,
Then I might just sell my teammates directly.
After all, Richard's surname is not Charmaine, and his relationship with His Majesty Aragon is a very simple alliance. They only come together because they have a common enemy. It is impossible to protect each other like a protective father.
Even Richard is not a native of this world, and he doesn't respect Aragorn, the founder of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, as much as others. He sold him out of necessity, but Richard didn't feel any pressure at all.
After Richard finished speaking, Aragorn thought for a moment and said:
"Prepare some more magic crystals for me during this period to speed up my recovery. They probably don't know yet about our replenishment of magic crystals. I will take action when someone comes to the door."
This is the first time Aragorn has agreed to take action. Richard has been right in his estimation. Aragorn is still far from recovering, so taking action will have to pay a certain price. Agreeing to take action this time is also a matter of necessity.
"Okay, I'll have the magic crystal delivered in a moment."
Richard originally controlled the supply of magic crystals, and relied on this to slowly get some benefits from this old fox, and also to slightly limit the opponent's recovery speed to avoid falling into a passive situation in the alliance.
But now is not the time to be wary of each other. Now that we have a powerful enemy, we can only choose to cooperate sincerely.
However, the magic crystal is indeed a hidden hand. Richard has been keeping the matter of the magic crystal very secret, and there are very few people who know about it. Although with the large-scale use of magic crystal, this kind of thing certainly cannot be hidden forever, but
The news has been suppressed for a year and a half, and if we strengthen our strength, the Hunter family can still do it.
Now I am afraid that the Rising Sun Cult does not know about the magic crystal, and there may be a misjudgment of Aragorn's strength. This may still be a point that can be exploited.
"If there's nothing wrong, I won't disturb His Majesty's rest."
"Um."
Richard bowed slightly and turned to leave. Richard still had to show considerable respect to Aragorn.
The fight between two foxes is actually quite tiring for both parties. For a character like Aragorn who was a time traveler and built a human kingdom from scratch five hundred years ago, Richard can't do anything about it.
Don’t dare to take it lightly,
It is also quite a headache for Aragorn to deal with Richard. Richard has no respect for Aragorn as a human being. He is full of calculations and even a poor mana crystal.
Not to mention tricking Richard into taking control of the rebellious Elf King Ring.
"By the way, Your Majesty Aragorn, there is one more thing."
Just when Aragorn was still having a headache about what was going to happen next, Richard, who had just left, suddenly turned around and came back.
"I'm afraid it won't be convenient for you to stay in Ironwood Castle during this period. I have prepared a mansion for you in the best part of Ironwood City. When will you go and see it?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going now."
Aragorn replied angrily to Richard. Although Richard said it politely, everyone could understand what he meant.
Aragorn is now a target. The other party is probably chasing Aragorn. They are placed in the ironwood fortress. Richard is afraid that his family will be accidentally injured. A confrontation of this level requires an ironwood fortress and a group of ordinary guards.
It doesn't work at all,
It's better to let Aragorn move out first, so that the rest of the Hunter family will not be implicated...
