The mage arrives

Although the overall civilization process and social structure of various countries in the Telos world are still in the middle ages, "newspapers", a printed matter that symbolizes cultural enlightenment, have already been born.

For example, the Freyton Empire had a "Platinum Daily" published by the royal family.However, "Platinum Daily" is different from the usual newspapers on the earth. It is better to say that it is a channel dedicated to disseminating various official announcements, similar to Di Bao.Various reports of the Winter War, the royal family's post-war response policies, and various commendation orders, etc., were spread all over the country by the "Platinum Daily".

A copy of "Platinum Daily" sells for as much as 30 silver coins, which includes the cost of copying the spell, and the shipping fee for timely delivery to all parts of the country with space spells.

Although the "Platinum Daily" was expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford it, the wealthy Baron Monka was obviously not in this range.He opened the restaurant door and ran out, and soon came back with a stack of newspapers and a dozen guards.

Anna, the glasses lady, followed her father back to the dining room, and immediately screamed in fright at the corpse lying on the ground and the blood-stained floor, and almost fainted.

Just now, when she was pulling Gordon to hide in her bedroom, she suddenly heard the loud noise of El Hoka's sword smashing the dining table, and she was worried, so she hurried to the dining room.As a result, Gordon came without asking, and then killed all the soldiers of the Winter Claw Legion without blinking an eye.

"G...Gordon...sir, you...you..."

Baron Monka helped his daughter who fell to the ground in fright and couldn't even speak clearly.Then call the maid to take her back to the bedroom to rest.He instructed: "Anna, Baron Freeman and I have already taken care of everything, so you don't have to worry."

After Anna was sent away.Gordon said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Baron Monka, for involving you in the conflict between me and the Eisenstein family. I dare not say anything else, but I can at least guarantee that the lives and property of you and your family safe and will be protected."

"You don't need to apologize, Baron Freeman. You didn't force me too much. This is my own choice. I don't like those guys from the Eisenstein family either. El Hoka is just attached to the Eisenstein family. The aristocrats are so arrogant, which is chilling. What's more, because of your appearance, at least I won't be blackmailed for more than 1 gold coins."

What a miser...

Gordon smiled and shook his head.

Baron Monka prepared Gordon a quiet study room for him to concentrate on reading the "Platinum Daily", and then took his servants to dispose of the corpse.

Gordon carefully read all the information in the newspapers and periodicals, and finally understood the things he missed while driving in the Cold Mist Mountains.

in the official report.Earl Exon and Durrington mistrusted the intelligence.Leading the Winter Claw Legion into the trap, the fact that Gaoyan City was easily breached by the orcs disappeared without a trace.The reckless, selfish, and disregard of the overall situation of the Winter Claw Legion's attack has actually become the decision of the entire High Rock City military command.The orcs invaded Gaoyan City and were on the verge of failure, so it became a strategy to deliberately let the enemy into the city and use street fighting to disperse and delay the enemy's forces.

In order to cover up his mistake, Dellington took the lead.He didn't hesitate to tell a big lie.Moreover, all the high-ranking members of High Rock City during the war: Grand Duke Rob Andelo, Lord Resor Loredo, Lord of High Rock, Earl Renalin, head of the Redstone Legion, and Earl Exxon, head of the Winter Claw Legion.All died in battle.

But the only living insider—Gordon himself, was delayed for five days in the Cold Mist Mountains because of a teleportation error, and missed the opportunity to expose Derrington's lies in the first place.

And now, the commendation order signed by His Majesty the Emperor has spread throughout the country.The course of that battle has been determined, and Derrington has become a well-known hero of Freyton, the handsome and mighty Silver Knight.

Gordon knew very well that under such circumstances, if he ran to the emperor and told the whole truth, no one would believe him, and instead he would be suspected of having ulterior motives.Because Dellington's current hero status is recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, the Platinum Church, and many great nobles.It is impossible for Gordon to let them slap themselves in the face for the so-called "truth".

The layer of "Freidon War Heroes" had been firmly stuck to Derrington's body, and it was impossible for Gordon to peel it off in a short time.

Such difficulties, however, did not shake Gordon's resolve.

After sorting out his thoughts and mood, and having a sumptuous lunch under the hospitality of Baron Monka, Gordon rode a fast horse and left the small town of Cobre.

Two days later, he returned to Clear Water City.

Xiona took the two sisters, Elaine and Elaine, to the imperial capital. The house was deserted, and only the couple, the chef Bud and the housekeeper Ronnie, stayed behind.

After the two middle-aged people saw Gordon, they cried like children.

Gordon also didn't have time to hold the "I, Hu Hansan is back" return celebration, comforted the two, and asked them to inform Douluo, Dwarven Tiehe and other friends in Clear Water City of the news of his return to Clear Water City.Then, without taking care of rest, he rushed to Rainbow Spring Manor overnight.

As Rob Antello's old subordinate and friend, the lord of Clearwater City, Count Julian, is helping to deal with the Duke's funeral.

First of all, there is the issue of the grand duke's widow.There are 37 grand duchesses living in Rainbow Spring Manor.It is not an easy task to arrange their way out.But what Earl Julian didn't expect was that when the matter of the Grand Duchess was dealt with again, it went extremely smoothly.

In the grand duke's huge harem, the most common situation where the building would collapse and labor and swallows would be separated did not occur.There were twenty wives who were willing to give up all inheritance rights, leave with only a moderate amount of property, and return to their hometowns to live in seclusion.The remaining [-] wives expressed that they would follow Faria, the only daughter of Grand Duke Antaello, and help her guard the family business of the Antaello family.After all, many of them come from prominent backgrounds and can provide a lot of help.

The fight and division of the family property as imagined did not happen.

Count Julian thought of the situation where his wives and concubines were playing tricks on each other, and couldn't help admiring his deceased friend from the bottom of his heart.It is truly a legend that a man can make all women die in this way.

When Gordon met Count Julian, the latter was lamenting why he did not have the charm to make women submissive.He glanced at Gordon who walked into the living room in the wind and dust, and said calmly: "You are back. It took a little longer than I expected."

"The mountain road is not easy to walk." Gordon smiled, sitting on the sofa opposite Count Julian.

The Lord of Clear Water didn't believe the statement that Gordon died in the battle of Gaoyan City at all.In fact, those who are close to Gordon, such as his younger sister Xiona, Faria who is far away in the Orlandos Snow Mountain area, and Donne who is in the imperial capital, do not believe that Gordon will end like this.They all waited quietly for Gordon to return.

After asking the servant of the water element to serve Gordon a cup of fragrant coffee, Count Julian asked: "The official battle report is all bullshit, full of nonsense from the Eisenstein family. I want to know what happened. "

After escorting the luggage to Gaoyan City and attending the celebration, Earl Julian returned to Clear Water City to preside over many logistics and supply matters.As a result, after the war ended, he suddenly heard the news of his friend's death, which made him unbelievable.

Gordon slowly told him everything that happened in High Rock City during the war.

With the help of strong coffee, neither of them felt sleepy.Gordon's narration continued until the next morning, when the first rays of morning light entered the room.

"A person lives forever, has no regrets, no guilt, no life in vain, no death in vain, enough... These words really fit his character." Earl Julian sighed, turned his face to the side, and wiped his face. Eye.

He was wiping tears from his eyes.

Nobles like Earl Julian had already learned to control their emotions.If you don't show your true feelings, you will never shed tears easily.

"Since the Grand Duke has already left, we will do the next thing." The Lord City Lord said to Gordon after clearing up his mood.

"What's the top priority?" Gordon just returned to Clearwater City, so he didn't know much about the specific situation.

"Naturally drive away those greedy jackals." Earl Julian sneered, "The power vacuum left after the Grand Duke's death has attracted the covetousness of many people. Even the Warhammer Lord Ed Stryker, And the Lord of the Diamond, Grand Duke Bowen Baratheon, intends to extend his hand to the Northland."

"Two of the three grand dukes of the empire have taken action. It is really troublesome." Gordon pondered.

Earl Julian said again: "After all, those two are powerful and well-established nobles, the pillars of the empire, so they don't look too ugly. But the Eisenstein family almost wants to take the inheritance left by the Grand Duke with them. They swallowed all the bones in their stomachs. Their ambitions are not small. They want to replace Grand Duke Rob Antello and become one of the new three pillars of the empire. And the most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor is now very supportive of love because of Durlington's relationship. The Sunstein family."

"The triangular power structure is the most stable. In the past, the three grand dukes constrained each other, and the Anduin royal family could use the contradictions between them to improve their control over the empire. If the three grand dukes become two, when the contradictions intensify , the room for maneuver will become very small, and the risk of civil strife will also increase. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor's behavior of supporting the Eisenstein family is understandable."

"Your analysis is correct." Earl Julian nodded in agreement, "So now, the Anduin royal family should be assigned to the Eisenstein family. If we want to preserve the Grand Duke's inheritance as much as possible, we must obtain Sacrificing some interests to win over the other two Grand Dukes. For them, the Antaello family is no longer a threat, but the Eisenstein family, which is developing rapidly, is more worthy of vigilance."

"I agree to win over Lord Warhammer and Lord Diamond. However, His Majesty the Emperor may not always be on the side of the Eisenstein family." Gordon said, his eyes full of confidence. (To be continued..)
