On the evening of the 12th, Lant and Gu Leiya attended the Red Dragon Literary Award Jury Committee Dinner.
It was at this banquet that the Duke of Dragon Tooth City, Li Qi Honglong, announced that he was going to marry another woman from the Lan Yuan family and was divorcing Susie because of her "work transfer."
"I almost forgot that there is actually a portal in Dragon Tooth City." Lant said with a smile after hearing this.
"I heard that they were afraid that Susie would make military exploits on the northern battlefield, so they specially asked her to go to Elk City in the south to be a sinecure knight. They would not let her leave or participate in any battles." Gu Leiya mentioned Su. West, I feel so sad.
The two girls were young. In her opinion, this outstanding female knight was completely betrayed by the two families. It was Susie's previous layout and personal fate that allowed Li Qi to secure her position as the Duke of Dragon Tooth City now. , however, it was her efforts that intensified the conflicts among the great nobles and made her herself a victim.
Lant was noncommittal: "On this matter, His Majesty Toussaint and Prime Minister Richelieu both told me yesterday that Susie was more powerful and proactive than they expected. In their eyes, many of her actions were too radical. , leading to the Feilong family’s revenge.”
In the eyes of King Dusen, until this time last year, everything in the capital was still controllable. However, after Lant killed the black mentor Uzloni, Susie seized the area controlled by the Feilong family, resulting in Things were getting out of control.
"I just heard some people from the Feilong family say that they must find a way to completely trap Susie. She will only be very uncomfortable if she stays in the south." Gu Leiya knew that Susie liked fighting and excitement, and wanted to do this for her. Bit Fa Xiao did something, "Lant, can you talk to them? Is it okay to let Susie go to the north? Even if she goes to Luoyue Lake to fight the sea monsters?"
"From the current point of view, even if you intercept the person directly, it is more convenient than bringing it up here," Lant said with a smile. "Didn't you see the mountains of congratulatory gifts in the living room of the palace before you came?"
"I've seen you," said the Dragon Girl, a little disinterested, "Isn't it normal for them to come to celebrate you becoming a duke?"
"No, they are celebrating my becoming king. His Majesty Dusen, Benet and Gorkesh even called me 'His Majesty the Future Galloping King' in their congratulatory letters." Lant understood that the three people What it means is: Hurry up and leave as soon as possible!
"Uh..." Long Nu finally came to her senses.
The nobles of the dragon are actually very similar to the orcs. A group of nobles are united under the name of the Red Dragon family through marriage and interest relationships. They are euphemistically called His Majesty's nobles and lords, but in fact, each family has its own worship traced back. The legendary or demigod dragons, these nobles do not care about the ups and downs of the royal family. The king is actually just the steward of the dragons. As long as the dragons on the Red Dragon Rock remain stable, it does not matter who sits on the throne.
But such an alliance of nobles must be very disgusted with the so-called "tyrant", that is, someone who is powerful enough to suppress the entire aristocratic class by himself. For example, someone who can play a decisive role in the parliament and who can win the victory outside the parliament. Pulling out dozens of high-level magic archers, you can fight against legends alone, your wife dares to challenge the strong across levels, your ancestors can influence all magic plants, and the knights can defeat the nobles of underground forces.
Perhaps the nobles expected to have such a powerful ally outside the country's borders to protect their family's business, but no one expected Lant to be able to call the shots within the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, almost as soon as the two suns rose today, all the nobles in the royal capital changed their views on Lant. One by one, they called out to His Majesty, fearing that he would develop feelings for him if he stayed in Dragon Tooth City for a few more days.
"Hmph!" Thinking of this, Gu Leiya felt even more sympathetic to Susie. After all, what Susie did was actually similar to Lant, except that her Lanyuan family was not as strong.
…
At night, Susie Lanyuan had been waiting for several hours in the foyer of Longya City's teleportation hall.
According to the requirements of the great nobles, Susie must leave Dragon Tooth City today. However, when she arrived at the portal, the magician on duty said that she had received instructions from the Magic Guild to strictly review those entering and exiting the gate during the kingdom's emergency.
Gardner Feilong, the mage of the Feilong family who was on duty, said in a pretentious manner: "Knight Susie, it is said that the teleportation hall in the outer area of the city is temporarily closed. Otherwise, you can go directly to the south on a griffin. It is better than waiting here for notification." be quick!"
The Gardner mage certainly knew that Susie's griffon was killed by his own magister yesterday. Even if it was not killed, it was still a mount of the Griffin Knights, and it was impossible for him to still follow her after she was demoted.
Facing the difficulties of a junior mage, Susie, as a senior knight, could only explain patiently: "I can't ride the griffon anymore, and the Southern Count requires me to report within two days."
"Grand Knight, we are here in accordance with the requirements of the emergency law, and you have to understand!" Gardner said pretendingly, "Why don't you think of other ways?"
Susie turned around and left. She knew that this was the Feilong family deliberately making things difficult for her. They would put forward a very harsh condition tomorrow and force her to eat it.
However, what Susie didn't expect was that as soon as she left the hall, she saw Lant Galloping Horse.
"Your Majesty the Duke? Why are you here?"
"I heard that you are going to the south today, come here to see you off." I found that the female knight was alone. Even the injury from last night had not healed, and her face looked very haggard. "Are you alone?"
"Yes, Earl Elk asked me to report in two days." Looking at Lant, Susie also had mixed feelings. She didn't expect that when she was at her lowest, the only person she was really willing to see off was such an unfamiliar person.
Looking at the female knight's current appearance, Lant certainly knew what was going on, but he still asked deliberately: "Did you fail to pass through the portal? Or have you already reported and returned?"
Susie shrugged and said helplessly: "Recently, the control in the teleportation hall has become stricter. I'll come back tomorrow to try my luck."
"Is there such a thing?" Lant took the female knight back to the hall and asked Gardner Feilong, "Is the control of the portal really so strict? Even with the kingdom's order, it can't pass?"
"Sir, we are also under orders to do something, please don't make it difficult for us." Gardner saw that Lant came with bad intentions, so he simply added, "You also know that when it comes to the security of the portal, no matter how careful you are, It’s not an exaggeration, I think it’s best for Suzy Knight to wait for two days.”
"I'm a Duke, can't I?" Lant asked again, his tone was very soft, it didn't sound urgent or strong, but rather a little humble.
"This is an order from the Great Council. As a Duke, you should carry it out, right?"
"Yes, that makes sense!" Lant nodded and immediately said to Susie, "Bring me your transfer order and let me take a look!"
"Okay," Susie didn't understand Lant's thoughts and took out the transfer order signed by King Duson and the appointment letter signed by the Earl of Southern Elk.
"Let me tell you, His Majesty asked you to go to the south at that time, and he did not mention going to Elk City by name. Now that transportation is difficult and it is difficult to reach Elk City on time, you can just change your place!"
"Ah this..." Gardner immediately panicked upon hearing this.
"This..." Before Susie had time to stop her, she saw Lant write crookedly on the appointment letter with a stroke of his pen.
"Due to the failure to arrive at Elk City on time due to the execution of council orders in the Longya City teleportation hall, it has been decided to appoint Susie Lan Yuan as the White Tree City garrison knight and take office immediately."
"You can go to White Tree City directly through the portal from my palace. I will explain it specifically to Earl Elk." Lant also specifically waved the appointment letter in front of Gardner, "This mage is right. , whether he is a duke or an earl, he must abide by the orders of the parliament, right?”
