Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 603 Walking in the Dark Night, Serving the Light

When the group returned to the Andria District, they wanted to immediately go to the Bisio District to collect information, but they didn't expect to be caught by Heloise Treville just after returning to the embassy.

"The Minister of Foreign Affairs has something to ask for you."

Cyril hurried back to the conference room, but Qing Evans had disappeared, and even Alexios Auditore's sister disappeared.

"Earl Adrian." After his son left, Blake also returned to a serious look. He was a very serious person—if it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't seen his son for nearly a year, and he was ruined by his son in the end. The blood pressure was high, and he should have entered the Andria area in a very formal manner.

"His Royal Highness asked me to say hello to you for her. This is what I should say when we meet, alas." Black showed shame, and then coughed softly, "Everyone knows what you did in the south. The southern nobles have also restrained a lot."

"How is Your Highness doing?"

"Everything is fine, Your Highness. The only problem is that His Royal Highness, the little prince, has been a little too naughty recently. He said... he felt that he was too weak and had no strength, so he sneaked out of Solconan a few times..."

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a look of pain on his face, obviously what he did to the little prince was also quite a headache.

What he didn't dare to say was that when the little prince listened to the minister's storytelling, he heard the story of the young earl expanding his territory and defeating the undead in the north with a small number of enemies. A whim.

Cyril recalled that Alexei Herman, who succeeded early on the world line of the game, is only seven or eight years old now, and he is still a little boy who only hides behind his sister and peeps secretly.

Alexei Sherman in the history of the game did not have the opportunity to show his talents. He ascended the throne at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and died with the destruction of the new capital in his early 20s. Alexei Sherman was just a living High puppet.

Shi Shi is a tragic and helpless character.

Therefore, the little prince dared to leave Solkonan alone, and this courage surprised Cyril.

The gossip didn't last long, and the topic soon returned to the topic.

"The Harbor Temple sent us an invitation." Blake Evans unfolded a scroll, and Cyril noticed that there was a swirl-like mark in the lower right corner of the scroll—that was the mark of the Harbor Temple.

"We sincerely invite the La Rochelle Mission to 'Isle of Euphrates' to participate in the opening ceremony of the election of the New Orway Harbor Council. The time is at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it is now nine o'clock." The scroll was handed over to Cyril, "Look, how many people do we need to take?"

"If you just want to attend an opening ceremony, you only need the foreign minister and some followers. Your Excellency Black can make up his own mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a rather strange expression on Black's face, and then he said: "Count Adrian, Your Highness has explained that this time the mission to Port New Aowei is all up to you. "

"Huh?" Cyril originally thought that he was only here to serve as the escort, but he didn't expect that Anastasia would give him such importance, and even let him be responsible for diplomatic decisions.

But he just didn't intend to be polite. He was worried before that if Blake Evans didn't give face, he didn't agree with this or that, and he was careful, then he wouldn't be able to do things freely.

"Is there anything else to explain, Your Highness?"

"Oh, Your Highness also said something, but I don't understand why she said that." Black's face was slightly confused, "Your Highness said, Earl Adrian can do it freely, and everything is done by La Rochelle." as a backup."

Cyril was silent for a moment.

He found that he couldn't understand Anastasia more and more—where did the eldest princess of La Rochelle look, and what did she expect?
He didn't think much, and it was meaningless to think too much.The most important thing right now is the opening ceremony of the parliamentary election that he has to attend.

"I understand." He nodded, "Let Captain Drake start the Napoleon, and half of the Assault Knights will board the ship...Your Excellency Black, where are your accompanying troops?"

"Most of the soldiers of the mission were stranded on those sea...pirate ships." Black said, and almost couldn't swallow his breath again - he was not the only one who knew about his son's being a pirate, and the soldiers who accompanied him knew about it. Also clearly!
Maybe he is still on those pirate ships, talking about himself!
"Well, Miss Treville will protect Your Excellency." Cyril looked towards the door, and Heloise was already nodding to him.

"Protection? Wait, it's just an election ceremony. Could there be any accidents?" Black wondered.

"Who knows, just in case." Cyril perfunctory.

He calculated the time, and it was obviously too late to rescue Su Geer Winkler now, so this matter could only be shelved temporarily.

He walked out of the meeting room and saw Alexios Auditore who was talking with Connor Drake in the corridor. The expressions on the faces of the two were more or less nostalgic, obviously reminiscing about the past.

"What are you doing at our embassy in La Rochelle? Don't you need to prepare for the opening ceremony in the afternoon?" Cyril said, turning to Captain Drake, "Drake, we are going to use the Napoleon , go get ready."

"Understood, Lord Earl." Drake left quickly, and Alexios looked at Drake's leaving footsteps, and said with a bit of a sigh: "He was not like this before..."

"He used to?"

"He never listened to other people's words before, and he is famous for playing a different tune." Alexios shook his head. "I still have something to say to the Earl, and I will go back after I finish."

"About Alvin Saxon?"

"Master Earl guessed it?" Alexios was not too surprised, "But not only Ivan Saxon, but also the families behind him..."

"How many people are there behind him?" Cyril frowned, "Sandy Marion is one, and there are others?"

"Sandy Marion does not have a channel for arms to Saxon, my lord." Alexios sighed, "The port mafia is growing, and pirates are rampant in the waters outside the port of New Orville. One of the extremely important points is that It was Alvin Saxon who had access to the arms."

"He not only armed the pirates with equipment and armed his own mafia, but also exported arms and even imported arms from other countries. It is said that he even wanted to get a ground dragon from O'Santa Emma, ​​but he failed in the end."

"The military of New Aowei Port was originally supported by several families, and they still maintain a certain authority in this field. I don't know how many of them stand behind Ivan Saxon. "

Alexios' explanation made Cyril gradually understand.

Aiwen Saxon, this is a puppet supported by the dignitaries of Xinaowei Port, and it is a puppet that is almost obvious - all high-level people know that there is someone behind Aiwen Saxon, but who, no one I know, and I don't want to know.

Because that person may not be me, but I can join it at any time - who can guarantee that my life will always be open and upright, without any dark things to do?

Alvin Saxon is a puppet and a knife.With the acquiescence of so many parties, he became a free mess.

And no one knows what this element wants to do now, not even the people behind him.

"Maybe this is the way to lure wolves into the house..." Cyril raised his head and stared at Alexios, "but I have a question."

"please say."

"Why can't the Auditore family stand behind him, why can't they gain benefits through him?" Cyril said, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I don't think anyone will refuse..."

But his words were cut off decisively by Alexios.

"No." Alexios looked at Cyril calmly, with an extremely firm tone, "Anyone can use that black hand to make profits, and everyone can use him to do evil things, only the Auditore family can't."

"Only the Auditore family?"

"Only the Auditore family." He spread his hands, "Although it sounds like a story in a picture book. But..."

"Perhaps we should be called the watchmen of the Port of New Orway. On the surface, the Auditore family is a business family, but in fact we have been walking in the dark..."

The young earl looked at him, and couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Don't you want to say that you walk in the dark night, but serve the light? Hahaha, hahaha, sorry, please allow me to laugh, I haven't heard something like this for a long time—" Cyril finally stopped laughed, "I don't doubt your words, but why choose me?"

"If Port New Orway were a tree, I suspect the tree's roots are festering. I can't clean it up with my knife alone."

"You are an outsider. I need an outside force to help me and clean up these festering parts together."

"Then why didn't you find Osan Emma?" Cyril asked, "Do you know who the Osan Emma came to the port of New Aowei? Pelagius Heris, the prince of Osan Emma -"

"I think it should be easier to get acquainted with an earl than a prince."

"This reason is not enough." Cyril was full of distrust.

"Your strength is even more outstanding."

"But you don't know how powerful Pelaggios is. I suggest you tell the truth, otherwise—"

"Okay, okay!" Alexios raised his hands and confessed, "It's because the man from La Rochelle stole my sister's heart. I can't choose an enemy of my sister's lover as an ally. !"

Cyril raised his eyebrows and said to himself, Evans, you did a good job!

"Yes, happy cooperation." He stretched out his hand, shook Alexios lightly, and then separated.

He didn't mean to reject this cooperation. In fact, with the current situation of New Aowei Port, they can be said to be surrounded by enemies.

Aside from the complicated situation of the locals in New Aowei Port, just the mission of Aosheng Emma made Cyril extremely nervous-who knows what the future Emperor Aosheng Emma came here for?
Saint Emma, ​​where the headquarters of the Primordial Church is located, has far more information than La Rochelle.

He sent Alexios away, and then began to prepare for the election ceremony.

This dilapidated carriage could hardly be called a passenger carriage, but a horse-drawn cart.Pu Lan was sitting on the horseback, waving his whip, and looked back at the little guy lying on the cart from time to time, with his face tightly wrapped in a cloth and only his eyes showing.

He lived in a village east of Solkonan, earning his living by hauling goods from the province of Volgo.It was early in the morning before dawn, and he was harnessing his old horse "Asa" as usual, when he saw a small figure looking out from the gate of his courtyard.

This little guy wants to take his car to the province of Volgo.

Pu Lan didn't have any thoughts about this, and of course he didn't have the idea of ​​selling the little boy, but just as he asked, he took him to the province of Volgo.

"Here we go, little one—"

Entering the nearest town, Pooran called out the sleeping little one.

"Ah, thank you!" The little guy's voice was quite immature, and he hadn't had a voice changer yet, so he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.He fumbled in his bosom for a while, then handed Pulan a coin wrapped in cloth.

"Hey, I'm just giving you a ride along the way. There's no need for it." Just as Pulan wanted to refuse, the little guy had already bounced and ran away. He just waved his hand to the back, and disappeared into the crowd at the market in the morning. .

Pu Lan shook his head, untied the cloth bag in his hand, and at the moment the coins were exposed, a golden light jumped into his eyes——

"Danya is on top!"

He almost threw the coin out, and quickly held it tightly in the palm of his hand, sticking it to his chest, not daring to breathe——

What do I see, what color do I see?This is gold, right?It's golden!

He slowly opened his palm, revealing the full view of the coin, shining golden light in the morning sun.

A Gentry, absolutely right, this is a Gentry - he will have to run for several years to earn such a Gentry!

Pu Lan was ecstatic. The idea of ​​returning the coin to the child flashed in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared immediately. At this moment, he only wanted to have a good drink in the tavern. As for the purchase?Went to his!

But the kid who can take out such a Gentry... Who is it?
This question disappeared as the refreshing wine was swallowed into Pulan's throat.

And he didn't know that in the palace of Solconan, not too far from here, the Eldest Princess Anastasia Herman, who was attending the court meeting, had a frosty face and listened to the maid's report. :

His Royal Highness the Little Prince, Alexei Hermann.

They doubled again and disappeared.
