Act 142 The Envoy From Gray Mountain

The reception ceremony at the Royal Airport was very short, and people's attention soon turned to the fleet's return to the port. It has been more than two months since the Tonigel fleet left Valhalla. For the new residents of Valhalla, They had only heard the name of this fleet. To be honest, this was the first time they had seen this fleet with their own eyes.

Although the ships entering the port at this moment are not actually the whole fleet, because when the fleet passed through Sifah, it was divided into three by the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess. One patrol fleet was sent to continue to escort the Eruin envoy, while the other was The main force of the squadron, consisting of three third-class cruisers, headed to the coast of Laban in the north of Karasu to block the mountain walkway to prevent the undead from once again playing the trick of raiding the rear of Llantonilan and Viero in the last war.

What returned to Tonigel today was actually less than one-half of this fleet, which was considered a behemoth in the entire Eruin and even south of Cruz.

But even so, it still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm in people's hearts. The news spread quickly. When the new residents of Valhalla ran out of their homes one after another, they saw pieces of silver shining light falling from the clouds. At that time, most of this number were actually small gunboats, and some were transport ships, but they couldn't help but let out bursts of whistles and cheers.

The citizens even took off their hats and threw them far away towards the fleet in the sky, as if this was the only way to express the excitement in their hearts.

After all, this is a fleet belonging to the Tonigel people, a fleet belonging to the Fir Territory, and a fleet belonging to their territorial master, although they were 'bought' by Brando from the Buga people.

But what does it matter?

Who doesn’t know that those craftsmen and wizards who have a higher vision than just any noble can establish a relationship with them? At least the people of the Fir Territory deeply believe in one thing: that is, their lord is He is a descendant of the Highland Knights, and he is a young man that the tower wizards like, so he can be asked to take a high look by the craftsman wizards.

Master Charles who follows their lord is proof of this. He is a majestic mage. Didn't he also build a mage tower on the lord's territory?

Sanders is the messenger from Ash Mountain. Although the Gray Mountain family was in the north during the last war, this cannot change the fact that this family is historically closer to the Corcova royal family. However, the Earl of Gray Mountain has always had a rift with the royal party, so when Lee Woods , Macaro and others were in power. He had to think more about his position in the South and his family's interests.

But when Her Royal Highness the Princess showed her differences with the royal party, the envoy from Gray Mountain immediately went south from Vladapest and arrived at Tonigel.

Of course, only those who know the inside story can understand that the more important reason is after the Second Black Rose War began. .

Three months ago, the current head of the Sifah family ignored the opposition of his mother, Queen Anna, and insisted on liberating the Noble Council in the north. This caused the Northern Alliance formed after the Ampelsel War to fall apart in an instant.

Later, he defeated a small rebellion from a small group of nobles and the Spiny Wolf family from Yanbao, Tuvalo, and Balta, and completely cleared the northern border. After that, the first thing he did was not to lift a flag. Instead of sending troops south, a coalition of nobles with Nicholas as commander was sent to support the war between the Corcova family and Madara.

This incident made Princess Griffin silent for several days, and then she reopened the Ampelssel Freeport to the north, releasing her own goodwill.

Now in some areas north of Ampelsel, it can be clearly felt that the situation is easing day by day. This is exactly the opposite of the increasingly tense war atmosphere in the southern border area from Gendenel to Manoville.

It was under such circumstances that Sanders arrived at Toniguer.

He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess had a very good relationship with her cousin when she was young.

Later, because of Queen Anna, the two families gradually became estranged, and the two became farther and farther apart. Now they are showing signs of repairing this relationship, which may represent the reconciliation between the Korcova family and the Sifah family. .

For Eruin, this is even a major event that is more important than the current war.

It was like he represented the Earl of Gray Mountain, but although the Tonigel people behaved quite friendly, the princess didn't seem to have any intention of receiving him for the time being.

His Majesty Obogu's death left a deep scar between the two families. After all, that's not something that can be repaired in a little time.

Sanders rented a room on the second floor of the 'Mermaid Hotel' in the city. Although the light spirits everywhere in the city arranged for him to live in the upper area, in comparison, he still preferred the lower area. Wandering around town. Although the upper city area is luxurious and exquisite, in line with the aesthetics of the aristocracy, there are too few people and there is no atmosphere of life.

Fortunately, the Tonigel people did not restrict his freedom, so he moved out and settled in this place before being received by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Most others also knew this. But no one cares about him.

Sanders was happy to be free. Anyway, he also understood that his mission was not a one-time mission. In fact, he was more curious about this fortress. He had traveled to various parts of Eruin in the past few years, and naturally he also visited the wild wilderness of Tonigel. In this land, I have never heard of such a giant tree here.

He heard that this tree was brought back from the Ring of Trade Winds by the Lord. Sanders had also heard about the Lord's legendary experience for a long time, but unfortunately he was not able to meet him.

While there was thundering cheers outside, Sanders and his accompanying attendants were looking out of the second-floor window. The latter was a country bumpkin from the Batar area and had little knowledge. On weekdays, he only complained about the hot climate and the There are no other advantages besides finding someone to gamble with.

Sanders liked this man because he was quite honest and obedient, and he didn't know anything about it, which could be considered an advantage at some point.

Now this guy was so frightened that he almost fell off the window sill and shouted to his master: "Oh my God, sir, these ships are actually flying in the sky!"

Naturally, Sanders has seen ships flying in the sky. In fact, he has seen the Eruin royal family's sailboats and warships in Yanilasu, and he has also seen the empire's local fleet in the north of Anzeruta, but they are all Not as good as this scene.

His eyes reflected the scenery on the sky, and the emotions in his heart were very complicated. It was just a fleet belonging to the Eruin people. It had just returned from the empire, where it and its owners had killed many other Eruin people. Events unimaginable in a lifetime.

Regarding Brando's journey in the empire, although there were some praises and criticisms among the nobles, and most of them were derogatory, but among the lower-class civilians, especially in places like Tonigel and Jeandenel, there was unanimous praise. Voices.

Some people claim that this lord is the most outstanding envoy leader of Eruin over the years. Some people even compare him with his grandfather sixty years ago. Even the eldest princess who has a keen eye for people has gained a lot for this. Fame, there are already a lot of rumors about the knight and the princess.

But this fleet is simply too powerful.

Suffocatingly powerful.

, he knew very well what the blind Highness was thinking. The other party repeatedly told him that he must find a way to win over the lord, or at least win his favor.

He stared blankly at the floating light spots above the clouds, silently thinking that in an era when such a powerful figure was born, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Eruin.

Is he an imitator of the late Lord Ek, or the next Grand Duke Anlek?

…

Returning to the Shigral Palace, a forest palace specially reserved for the royal family, in fact, Her Royal Highness, by Brando in the upper area of ​​Valhalla, when the maid turned around and closed the door with a click, Princess Griffin came all the way. The image of seriousness and indifference she maintained could no longer be maintained any longer. She turned around and carefully examined her only brother up and down.

"Are you really not hurt, Haruze?"

"Yes, everything is the teacher's credit, but he"

"Great, Haruze, great, you are finally back..."

Haruze opened his mouth wide and stared at his sister blankly. Even the second half of his sentence was blocked by his sister's choked voice.

In all his life, he has never seen the other party look so out of sorts.

Griffith hugged his short and thin shoulders, lowered his head, and wept quietly. His tears couldn't stop falling, and each drop rolled on the thick carpet, forming beautiful crystal beads.

"Sister...sister..." Haruze panicked.

"I...I'm fine, Haruze, I'm just too scared." Griffin quickly raised her head. She took a breath and regrouped her nearly collapsed emotions, and wiped the corners of her eyes and cheeks with the back of her hand. Tears on the side: "You are right, all this is the result of the prince, we will definitely find him."

"Sister, do you call him teacher...?"

"Haruze, Ornesen gave me a letter."

"Brother Levin?" Haruze reacted instantly and equated this name with the person in his memory. Although he had experienced so many things since leaving Corcovado, his childhood memories But not forgotten.

Griffin nodded, as if mentioning this name made her look a little complicated: "He gave me a suggestion in the letter..."
