"Byrne has news about the Holy Code," the Black Knight said. "But the clues that are not very important can only be used as reference. Your clues may be looking at you now."
"Did that thing fall into the hands of an unknown person?" Lametta was very interested. She originally didn't think the holy book was of any use. After the law wizard who held it passed away, no one could use it anymore.
"Then he ran away again."
"Unless special means are used, the School of Silence cannot preserve it for a long time. The wizards gave this task to the Gaia Church, and they lost it as expected."
"So, now the Silent School, Favtanner and Croita have each sent envoys to Eastman?" Seroma asked.
That's exactly what she meant. "A sudden war in the mysterious realm is not a good sign."
"But they all serve different purposes."
"With so many people, there will occasionally be friction." Lord Yan Zhiyue said slowly.
He always knows what I'm thinking. Lametta gently pulled the down of the mask and whispered: "So I want to meet with His Majesty alone. After all, the White Envoy is an enemy that I cannot deal with, let alone the Witch of Destiny and that stupid lion. "
"Do you want to set a fire in front of your home?" the black knight reminded.
"Fireworks are more suitable to be watched at home, and I'm not asking His Majesty to do it himself."
Seroma shook her head, "Then even if I are added, the success rate is not worth looking forward to. Byrne must have an acting city lord in charge, and we cannot act together."
"We never act together." This is an intrusion into other people's territory and will arouse the resentment of the lord. After the San Carlos incident ended, the Black Knight continued to cause trouble for her. Fortunately, he has gained a lot, and Lametta would rather suffer some verbal losses. "After the Broken Moon God descended, the White Envoy immediately threw himself into new high-intensity work. Recently, he also flooded the City of Fog with blizzards. This level of mysterious phenomena does not just happen. When the mystery is out of the sky, Before reaching the realm, even he has to pay a price."
The Black Knight stared at her. "Then why don't you try it again?"
"Because I have a better way," she told them. "Do you know the purpose of the trip to the tower?"
"It seems like he is looking for an apprentice." Seroma said.
"The astrologers must have discovered something again. They always make a fuss out of a molehill." The Black Knight said.
Maybe he's not as useless as I thought, Lametta thought. "The tower is here to find the apprentice. Regardless of whether these messengers have other purposes, this goal that everyone knows is not wrong. It's just that the apprentice who neither the lion nor the witch found was found by another apprentice." She After a pause, "The other one is Bai Zhishi's apprentice."
"This is the first time I heard that the White Envoy has an apprentice." Seroma said in surprise. He understood Lametta's intention. "This is a weakness, but he knows it himself. If you aim here, you will only fall into his trap. It only takes an instant to travel through the Star Gap."
"I tried the same thing," she admitted, "but it wasn't about the Star Gap, but the kid missed the trap by chance."
"I would be happy to hear the whole story of your failure." said the Black Knight.
"Ask your astrologer." There were limits to her patience. "Even if we only use them to contain Croita, we can definitely cause some trouble." So far, Lametta has no intention of being driven out of the territory like Alini. The lords of the Starless Night never act at the same time, unless they are facing a "national war" with the mysterious realm. "Your Majesty has been alone for too long."
Seroma, Lord of the Flame Moon, pushed his chair. "It's not too long for him. What can you do? If you don't get the holy book in front of him, waiting will be in vain."
The Black Knight agreed for the first time: "You are not a little girl. Don't look for your parents whenever something happens."
I'm going to smash your ugly helmet and give your soul's fire some sunshine. It was not easy for Lametta to suppress his anger and impulsiveness. "Looks like I can't get help here."
"You were advised."
"It hurts my feet even if I use it to cushion my heels." She replied with a smile. "Please stop wasting your breath, or take me to the ladder in Oglethal."
Seroma no longer paid attention to her plans, but was still concerned about her injuries. These words were as worthless as the man himself. But the black knight raised his head, his armor rattling: "Eastman is my territory, what do you want to do?"
"If you want to know, please help me."
The undead knight's eyes were very cold. "This is the last time." Even so, he reluctantly agreed. "Your plan has nothing to do with me, I will only consider Byrne."
"That's enough." She didn't trust him either, "Just don't let anyone get in my way. Especially those astrologers."
"What you want to say is the White Envoy." The Black Knight was not fooled. "Looking at the recent actions of the tower, they are preparing to protect themselves wisely again. Unless there is a crisis like the dragon disaster, the astrologer will never show up first. As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...you don’t have to mess around in Eastman’s territory.”
You have no control over me. "You know I have sense, my dear brother."
…
DeWitt didn't see Dalton all day, and he wasn't surprised. The captain of his guard was in the hands of a half-elf, and there was nothing he could do to redeem his capable man. The awfulness of this situation soon became apparent in life.
"Why are you giving me these?" There is another access agreement on the desk, and now everything can be sent to his study. "Only ships going out to sea need me to sign documents. If you can't handle your duties well by yourself, don't embarrass yourself by coming here."
"This is the ship that goes to sea, my lord."
He picked up the paper and glanced at it to confirm that he had read it correctly. "Are you going to deliver two bundles of wood and cloth to the fishmen? Or are you going to be pirates?"
Sir Giles Arnald's fingers wriggled in his sleeves. "It's not a pirate." He clarified, "It's a cousin of mine. I used these things in exchange for valuable seafood from Knight's Bay."
"The most important thing in Knight's Bay is seafood. Will the shells and crabs your cousin catches be bigger?"
"I mean, my lord, those are some mysterious minerals, along with whale bones and pearls."
Maybe I should take Dalton's advice and send Giles off to fetch the witch's footbath. DeWitt knew what his lord steward was going to do: iron, fruits and vegetables, goods hidden beneath the wood and cloth. Giles's merchant ships were rarely robbed by bandits, and he was probably the one who fed them. The supplies sent to the pirate ships were supposed to be taxes paid to the lords. Thinking of this, he was filled with anger. I am the lord of the bay and the pirates are just thieves.
If it weren't for the nightingale who controlled the bay, DeWitt would not have known that the steward had such a cousin, and the disguise of the goods would have been more elaborate. The logistics manager knew very well that his secret had been leaked by his former subordinate, so he didn't even bother to cover it up. "Your cousin can come to Chaosheng Castle to discuss in person."
"But he is not a noble, sir. Commoners are not qualified to enter your castle." Giles pointed out.
Ingrid was not a noble either, and he allowed her to meet Dalton at Tidecastle. DeWitt remembered this order, and his subjects did not forget it either.
A horn sounded outside the window. The guards at the city gate pulled up the sling and asked the guard captain who had left early in the morning to return. The lord stood up and said, "Tell your cousin that I am not interested in bones and gravel. This is my answer. Not all fishmen value those useless things. If he doesn't believe it, he can ask the King of Nagas himself. .”
As soon as the manager left, Dalton pushed the door open and entered. The night elf saw the other party's face in the corridor and couldn't help but ask: "Sir Giles looks like he wants to swallow the document in his hand. My lord, what have you done?"
"An addition to the ledger of his enemies." Rumor has it that Customs Master Gilles Arnald had a diary full of enemies and unprofitable transactions, even the seagulls that pooped on his hat. DeWitt did more than humiliate him. But honestly speaking, he felt it was not enough.
Dalton gets it. "In retaliation, he will try his best to cause you trouble."
"This isn't revenge, Dalton. He can't be happy as long as I'm Lord of Knight's Cove."
"No enemy will remain an enemy forever, my lord. With the help of the previous riots in Beacon Town, we have opened up the situation. Now as long as either Giles or Laurent surrenders to us..."
"I don't want that person to be Giles. He will turn Knight's Bay into his pirate den, there is no doubt about it." The lord waved his hand and glanced behind him, "Didn't you bring your girl back?"
"Our wedding date has been set previously." Dalton and Ingrid were already engaged, but the current situation was not suitable for a banquet. DeWitt insisted on holding a wedding banquet and planned to act as his relatives and friends. No matter which one he could refuse. "The move starts tomorrow and she needs a night to miss her home. Umi and Lily are at her place."
These two maids were chosen by DeWitt, and Dalton didn't understand women at all. His captain of the guard was as innocent as the dagger on DeWitt's waist before he met Ingrid. He had never used it since he wore it... Now that the blade has finally been pulled out of its leather sheath, it's really worth celebrating, isn't it? "You should bring her back. Beacon Town is not safe."
"Master Giles won't be happy to see me doing this."
"Didn't I tell you? He won't be happy no matter what." It was probably because Ingrid didn't want to see the vampire. I haven't turned my back on land myself yet, thought DeWitt. Women are women, and they can't take off their pretentious coat under the bed. Of course, he admitted that he had his own reasons for this. "Where is Sir Laurent Vig? Tell me how sad he is now." Another guy who thinks highly of himself. I am the lord of Knight's Bay. Do they not know the meaning of lord?
"He's suspicious and I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well."
"It seems he knows the answer."
"I think you want more than answers." Dalton always understood him, DeWitt thought, but you don't know what I want.
