Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

The mantle of the Blade Lord?
Alana hesitated for three seconds, then finally nodded in agreement with difficulty.

Isn't it just about catching a Slaanesh follower? What Ivress lacks the least is experience in dealing with demons. If this Slaanesh follower dares to reveal his true identity, he will definitely let it taste the power of the eye of the storm.

Seeing Alana agreed, Upton was overjoyed. He handed the girl some intelligence he had obtained over the past few days and said, "Take care."

"The enemy is in the Phoenix Court."

what?
Alanna, who was puzzled, was taken out of Brady Manor. With a piece of information from the Lord of Blades, she foolishly found her elder who worked in the Phoenix Court.

Spellblade Carvir, known as the Warlord's right-hand man, is a trusted warrior who has been respected in the Phoenix Court since Eltharion rose to prominence in Ulthuan.

He is currently a permanent member of the War Council, and is considered the first rank person below the princes.

Cavill, who was dealing with the issues left over from the last war in the office, couldn't help but smile as he looked at Alana who was chattering on and on.

"Alanna, I understand that you want to show off your abilities in front of the Phoenix King, but now that His Majesty is in the Old World, you don't need to use some unfounded intelligence to claim that there are Salacious elements lurking in the Phoenix Court."

"But this is the information given to me by Lord Upton." Alana stared with her beautiful eyes, unable to believe Cavill's perfunctory response.

Could it be that the Blade Lord has no prestige at all in the Phoenix Court?

The girl's words made Cavill cover his forehead with his hands in distress. Where should he start to talk about this? Upton has been a little neurotic recently. He believes that there are Chaos believers wherever he goes. He turned the Brady Manor bestowed by His Majesty into a military fortress, fearing that someone would murder him.

"Okay, then tell me the intelligence. Who are the followers of Slaanesh?"

Without hesitation, Alana said a name: "Phyllis."

Cavill was a little embarrassed and asked cautiously, "What's your last name?"

"No, the intelligence that Lord Upton gave me did not indicate a surname."

How come this girl is as stubborn as Eltharion...

Cavill sighed and said, "If there is no other person named Phyllis in the Phoenix Court, the Slaanesh believer you are referring to is the personal maid who has served His Majesty for more than three hundred years."

"Uh..." Alana was stunned, then thought of the beautiful woman who was inseparable from His Majesty.

"Maybe Lord Upton made a mistake, or maybe it was Finas?"

"There is no one named Finas in the royal court."

"Trier?"

"He is a courtier that Your Majesty brought from Caledor. He has been in charge of the financial budget of the Dragon Palace since he was a child. He is a famous arithmetic genius in Caledor and now serves as the manager of Your Majesty's private treasury."

"Commons?"

"The Dragonriders of Caledor... serve the dragons stationed in Lothern." Cavill couldn't believe why Upton would suspect these people. It would be fine if they were originally courtiers of Finubar.

But to suspect the people brought by Caledo, doesn't that seem a bit targeted?

Alana named more than ten names in succession. All of them were people who originally belonged to the Dragon Palace. Judging from their identities, they were confidants of the Phoenix King.

It wasn't until a name came up that Cavill realized that something might have changed.

"Grantham." "He is a registered resident of the royal court..." Cavill subconsciously wanted to answer Grantham's position, but the magic swordsman's brain worked incredibly fast. When he said the name, he could also recall everyone's origin.

But when it was Grantham's turn, his mind went blank and he only knew that he was the household registration manager of the royal court.

"Something's wrong..." Cavill muttered to himself. It was not easy to blur the memory of a magic swordsman. He used secret methods to investigate the memory, but did not find anything strange.

The magic swordsman rested his hands on the table, his expression no longer showing the helplessness he had just shown towards the younger generation's antics, but a more solemn expression: "How does Lord Upton describe Grantham in the intelligence?"

"No description, just a name."

It seems that the old guy did find something...

Cavill motioned for Alana to sit on the sofa and wait for a moment. He called in a servant and asked for the royal court's archival records about Grantham.

Ten minutes later, a brand new file arrived in Cavill's hands.

"Grantham, born in the Anvil of Caledovar, has shown outstanding learning ability since childhood... At the age of sixty-three, he entered the Dragon Palace as the personnel specialist of Tal Kaled, coordinating the affairs of the palace and the government...

At the age of 126, he was sent to the New World Qingyan Port to serve as a census taker, responsible for the management of the elven community... At the age of 217, he came to Lothern with Prince Caledor..."

Judging from the information, Grantham's situation fits the characteristics of a Dragon Court official very well. He is born into a commoner family and is capable. Although he is young, he has rich experience.

But Cavill thinks this is too normal.

He was so normal that he didn't seem like a Caledonian official. You have to know that the people Alana mentioned at the beginning, not only did their hands have blood on them, but at least they could use Druzi's skull as a bowl.

Even Trier, the arithmetic genius who lacks the most combat ability, works as an artillery ballistics instructor at the Comprehensive Academy in his spare time, and works part-time as a design consultant for long-range projection firepower weapons for the Caledonian army.

Cavill wanted to report this matter to the Phoenix King immediately. Perhaps your household registration clerk has been replaced by a Slaanesh demon with three balls.

However, the Phoenix King was not in Lothern at this time, and the captain of the Flame Knights also set off for the Old World with him. The royal court lacked a figure from the Caledor faction who could make the final decision.

Besides, before reporting it, one should first investigate the truth of the matter...

Alanna waited for Cavill for a long time, and seeing that the magic swordsman was still in deep thought, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

“Uncle Cavill, is there anything wrong with this Grantham? If so, I will go and capture him.

Don't worry, I have learned a lot of interrogation techniques from my uncle, and I guarantee he won't tell a single lie."

Although he trusted Eltharion's interrogation methods, Carvel believed that if Ivresse's people interfered in the internal affairs of the royal court without authorization, it would make the warlord seem to be in charge of too much.

Now that Eltharion has only been in office for a few years, he is not yet at the point where he can ignore the majesty of the royal court.

"This matter needs to be handled by the White Lion Guards. They are the real law enforcers of the royal court..."

Alana, who was extremely disappointed, soon received good news.

Cavill said, "Of course, since this incident was caused by you, you must cooperate with the White Lion Guards' investigation."

The magic swordsman wrote down a document and handed it to the excited girl.

"Take this document to Cossell. He will investigate the anomaly in Grantham. You should cooperate with the investigation, but don't lose face for Iris." (End of this chapter)
