Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 242 La Rochelle's Mad Dog

When Cyril walked out of the palace, Heloise Treville had already parked the carriage and was waiting outside the palace.Seeing the half-elf boy walking out, Heloise immediately jumped off the horse and ran towards Cyril with small steps.

"Everything is going well, although it is not enough for the ministers to directly decide to give me this title, but at least a fair duel..."

Cyril said to Heloise, who knew that the latter deftly bypassed him and ran all the way to the towering tower - where Anastasia Herman had just stepped out.

"Your Highness, the nobles in the south didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"Hey, the situation is much worse than expected. Although they are indeed despicable as usual, fortunately, the little knight you found has some means, and His Majesty Photios is here..."

"Has Majesty Photios arrived?" Heloise turned around in surprise, trying to find Cyril's figure, but found that the half-elf boy followed a figure and walked towards a corner not far away——

"That is……"

And Anastasia also looked over there and said thoughtfully, "That's the Minister of Military Affairs, Harry Ruskin."

Cyril didn't know why the military minister came to him. The other party was clearly speaking for Darren Sherley, so logically speaking, he was his opponent.

Ruskin's expression was still cloudy. He walked forward quickly, regardless of whether the young man behind could keep up. He didn't turn around until he reached a relatively secluded corner, and looked at the bewildered man behind him. Half-elf boy.

"Thank you very much for passing the news back to the capital." He said in a deep voice.

"No, this is what I should do... Rather, I feel strange that the King has not learned about the Tower of the North Wind after more than a month."

Cyril stared at the Minister of Military Affairs, but found that the latter's face was livid: "During that time, a large number of legions were transferred from the south to the north. Solkonan was devastated by the southern affairs. We didn't know that the Silver Blade Knights would go to The Tower of the North Wind, at that time they were supposed to be in the west to deal with the monsters that besieged the human settlements because of hunger in the cold winter."

"But no one has sent back the battle report?" Cyril was wondering, but he suddenly remembered that it was the Snowy Owl Legion of the Kingdom's Seventh Legion who took over the defense of the Tower of the North Wind, and Heywood Herman, who led the team, Full of hostility towards Captain Christine.

Even if he didn't intend to hide it, but as long as he procrastinated, the battle report would not be delivered within two months.

The military minister snorted coldly, as if he knew how serious the conflicts between the factions were, and of course he chose to skip this topic, and instead said: "But don't expect to have this relationship, I will help you To put it bluntly—the defense of the Adelaide Sea area has always been a problem, and compared to exploiting Amasir, strengthening the defense of the Adelaide Sea area is the most important thing, and I insist on this."

While talking, he observed the young man's expression, but found that the other party's face did not show the slightest loss. Instead, he asked calmly and calmly:
"Then what do you mean?"

"Just to remind you." Ruskin turned around and turned his back to Cyril, "You inherit the Silver Blade Knights, no one will object to you, but if you do what Christine did back then ...Not to mention whether other nobles will go crazy, you can't stand it alone."

"Who?" Cyril asked puzzled.

"My nephew, Darrow Ruskin."

Harry Ruskin failed to see the change in the face of the young man behind him, and continued on his own: "My other nephew, Darrow's younger brother Bernie, is a knight of the Silver Blade Knights. Christine's actions are deeply grudge...maybe you don't need to imitate Christine, he will naturally focus on you."

"Although it is not good to say that my nephew is bad, but...he is a lunatic. If you are lucky enough to get a title, be careful not to let go of his bite - this information is not enough to offset your kindness for sending back the battle report. Afterwards, I Someone will send you a sum of money from Gentry."

After the military minister finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry without giving Cyril a chance to speak.

And Cyril's expression was stiff, and after a long while, he slowly exhaled a suffocated breath.

"This information is enough to offset the kindness of sending back the battle report..."

Darrow Ruskin, as his uncle called him, was quite literally a "madman," a tour inspector with enormous power.

And unlike other inspectors, other inspectors may accept bribes and turn a blind eye to the filthy deeds of those nobles and officials, but Darrow Ruskin doesn't care about those external things at all. Anyone found, regardless of their status, will be chased and bitten by him until they are punished.

For this reason, Darrow Raskin is called "La Rochelle's Mad Dog". No matter which nobleman or official, even if he has not done anything that violates the laws of the kingdom, he will hear "La Rochelle's Mad Dog". "Dog" would have to raise his blood pressure a lot if he wanted to examine him.

As for why those nobles did not want to target Darrow Raskin, the reason is also very simple——

He is a great swordsman who has touched the threshold of the law and is of top strength.To put it simply, it is a swordsman on the same level as Jane Christine.

The more Cyril thought about it, the more he felt a headache. Somehow, there was a potential threat behind his butt, and it was the kind he couldn't solve in the short term.

Fortunately, I had to reenact what Christine did back then to make Darrow hate him.And what Christine did, although he didn't know the specific ins and outs, was nothing more than she abducted many noble children and organized a knight order, and she did it without the consent of those nobles.

Such a thing, even if Cyril wanted to reproduce it, he didn't have the ability to do it.If he wants to form his own forces, he has to consider recruiting mercenaries and adventure teams.

This gradually made him feel at ease.The duel with Darren Xie Li is a certainty, but to develop one's own power, one has to get the title of knighthood.

He walked towards the entrance of the palace again, Anastasia and Heloise had already left first, and the people who participated in the meeting had also left in sevens and eighties.

However, when he came to the gate of the palace, under the three towering towers, he found a figure standing there quietly. He turned around slowly after hearing his footsteps.

Cyril stopped at once, then he stepped forward in small steps, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you for speaking for me at the meeting."

Then a gentle voice sounded: "Young man, I think you made a mistake."

Cyril raised his head, and what he saw was the old but radiant face, staring at him with a gentle smile.

"I just stated what you did, that's all, Cyril Adrian."
