Torres also knew that the female lord was telling the truth. Yin Leiya had just come to the camp to find him, and the three young wolves came after hearing the news. It was obvious that they had planned it.
Torres then asked the girl,
"Have you ever offended anyone? I'm not talking about the Western Region, but the Royal Capital..."
"Let me think about it, Geoff. That guy's name seems to be that. He is the special envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor to summon me to the royal capital, but he wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune from me, and I don't agree. , scolded him directly and left, he threatened me before leaving."
"Geof." Torres felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before, and he recalled it carefully for a while before he remembered it.
"Is he from the royal family? But fortunately, he is probably just a very remote branch of the Vespasian family. Your Majesty has so many poor relatives like this, some of whom can barely even eat.
"Geoff got a job through his sister. This man's reputation has never been very good. Just because he has a little bit of royal blood, he brags everywhere. Many people who have just arrived in the king's capital don't understand the situation. They were all deceived by him, and there were rumors of him blackmailing others before.
"But don't worry. He probably just wants to intimidate you and cause a lot of trouble. He doesn't have the ability to really retaliate against you." Torres breathed a sigh of relief and comforted you.
As a result, Torres was startled when he saw Yin Leya still looking at him.
"Any more?"
"Well, Priest Cornelia should be counted as one." Torres took a breath,
"Life Church?! How did you provoke Life Church!"
"Didn't Your Majesty want to build a statue for the Goddess of Life? Everyone should donate money together. I thought the money was too much, so I didn't donate." Miss Rabbit said,
"Besides, as a Saturday believer, what does it mean to donate money to Vallia?"
"Did the other nobles in the Western Region also donate?"
"I donated it because the areas I didn't donate were plagued by rats. The remaining people were frightened and had no choice but to pay the money."
"Is there still such a thing? What about our territory, has it been ruined by rats like this?"
"How is it possible? With Prophet Merlin and our Lord Saturday here, a mere mouse is no match for them. Moreover, the mastermind behind driving the mice has also been caught. Now he is still working for Shuangxiu to pay off his debts." Torres was a little confused for a moment. What should I say?
He also knew from Yin Leiya's letter that his niece was very bold, abandoning the family's centuries-old tradition and switching from Pisiya to Saturday.
Like many people, he tried to persuade the girl at the time, but in the end the new head of the Arias family insisted on his own way.
And the facts proved that her choice was not wrong. The Arias family developed rapidly under her leadership, and even His Majesty the Emperor on the Bone Throne noticed her.
And in the battle with Hercules just now, Torres also witnessed how powerful Saturday was. It can actually give a girl divine power and defeat opponents several times stronger than her. This also caused an extremely strong impact on the heart of Torres who was watching the battle from the sidelines!
After all, Torres left his hometown when he was a child and followed his teacher to the royal capital. He has been practicing hard for more than ten years and constantly honing his martial arts, which is why he has the strength he has today.
And when he brought himself into that battle, he found that his fate might not be any different from that of Hercules.
This feeling, as if something he regarded as a treasure, had been stepped on by someone, filling Torres's heart with bitterness.
However, he soon realized that he was going off topic, and he came to his senses and said,
"I know that Merlin's prophet is not simple, but Cornelia's priest is only more terrifying."
"Forget about freckles and Hercules, the young wolf looks carefree on the surface, but as the grandson of a wise man, he is not as reckless as he appears.
"Even if you are unhappy with His Majesty's canonizing you as a Dragon-Slaying Knight, he is cautious and should not be the first to target you. There must be a mastermind behind him. Geoff is only a small player in the capital and can be commanded. I can’t move these noble young men of the Royal Knights, so..."
"So those three idiots who came to provoke me were probably under the instruction of Priest Cornelia." Miss Rabbit said thoughtfully.
"That's right." Torres looked solemn.
"After all, the royal capital is the territory of the Church of Life. Many of the nobles here now believe in Varlia, and Priest Cornelia is the most trusted person by His Majesty. Her words can determine the fate of many people." As they talked, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the stride hotel.
Torres seemed to want to say something else, but he hesitated and finally just said,
"You must be tired after traveling such a long way. Eat something first. You can rest early tonight. After saying that, he looked at the girl again.
"Yin Leiya, are you going to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow?"
"Yes, uncle."
"Then after you meet His Majesty, I will take you to visit Lionheart Castle. We can go to Pigeon Square to try the pork pie there, and then go to Cobbler's Street to buy you a new pair of boots. If there is still time, we can go to Master's Palace again. Take a look at home, there are often troupes performing there."
"sounds good."
"Then we'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, uncle." After the back of the royal knight knight disappeared at the end of the street, the captain of the guard beside him said with emotion,
"Mr. Torres, he has really changed a lot."
"Yes, I heard from Aunt Marina that you and your uncle were playmates when they were young." Yin Leya actually didn't have a deep impression of this uncle, mainly because Torres left Teacup Castle very early and went to study in the royal capital. After becoming a knight, he almost never returned home.
There is very little interaction between the two. On the contrary, the older Thomas had played with Torres for a while.
Thomas had a look of nostalgia on his face,
"How should I put it? Mr. Torres was, well... maybe a little naughty at that time. He asked us to play the role of lizard men in the swamp, while he himself was the knight.
“He often fought with one against many, and we fought all day long. No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would always get up quickly and continue fighting with high energy, regardless of the bruises on his body and face.
"It also makes those of us who play with him always get scolded by Aunt Marina, but Mr. Torres will say at this time that the man of the Arias family, this mere injury is nothing, let's come back tomorrow and make Aunt Marina angry Not light.
"By the way, when he just turned ten, he approached your father and said that he wanted to compete with Lord Russ. If he won, he would be the head of the Arias family. As a result, Lord Russ was I was beaten so hard that I couldn't get out of bed for half a month."
"In short, Mr. Torres at that time seemed to be full of energy every day, and he looked fearless. I didn't expect that when I saw him after so many years, he would become so..."
"Afraid of hands and feet?"
"I would say be careful. I really don't know how he managed to get by in the capital all these years."
"Ha, looking at the faces of the three guys before, you know that there must be many such guys in the Royal Knights who are not very strong but are arrogant and domineering.
"But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, as the head of the Arias family, I will protect Torres, just like my father once did. I will not allow anyone to bully my clan again." Thomas couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. The eyes looking at the female lord were also full of reverence.
Although Miss Rabbit is not tall and her fists are not very strong, after saying these words, her image suddenly became taller in the eyes of the guard captain.
But soon he heard the female lord say,
"Where's Merlin? Why hasn't Merlin come yet? What if the assassin comes again at night?"
