Allen finally decided to accept the invitation of the Black Iron Castle and go to the Bloodstone Wilderness in a week to sign a peace agreement with Sir Sharon.
After seeing off the envoys of the Black Iron Castle, Belmore secretly returned. The first thing he did when he returned to Storm City was to report to Allen his findings in the Black Iron Castle. The information that Belmore had gathered was very useful, and Allen could use it as a basis to decide on some details and attitude when he met Sir Sharon.
"The Black Iron Castle has a history of more than a hundred years. It has been through the hands of five Sir. Sir Sharon is the sixth lord and the longest-serving one."
In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Belmore reported, "Sir Sharon himself is a Level 16 Knight. He is not necessarily outstanding in terms of personal strength, but he is very skilled in business." The first president of the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce in the Black Iron Castle was actually Sir Sharon, who was later handed over to the current president, Cam. "Under Sir's governance, the Black Iron Castle has accumulated a large amount of wealth in just twenty years, making the territory stronger and stronger."
"Of course, if it was just Sir Sharon, the Black Iron Castle would not have been able to expand to its current scale. Not to mention anything else, Sir Maud of Storm City had more than one idea for it. In the end, Maud and Sharon chose to marry because of Hagrid. "
"Hagrid?" The figure of the middle-aged man in the envoy group flashed through Allen's mind. "The leader and founder of the Black Cloud Knight Regiment?"
"Yes, that's Hagrid." Belmore said in a deep voice, "Hagrid already had the strength of Level 17 when he created the Knight Regiment. It is said that he has begun to rush to Level 20 in recent years." If nothing unexpected happened, his strength would at least be around Level 18 or 9. "In terms of personal strength, Hagrid's strength is enough to sweep through all the experts in the entire border area, including you, boss."
Allen nodded and said, "In terms of level alone, that is indeed the case. However, in a real battle, level is not the only criterion for victory or defeat. Of course, that is only if the difference in level is not large. "
"Anyway, I will be careful of this man. Continue speaking."
"What I heard next was more interesting."
Belmond revealed a meaningful smile, "But I don't think this is unusual for the boss. After all, you nobles … Hehe. Let's get to the point. Sir Sharon has two wives. The first wife, Suya, has been married to Sir for many years due to her weak health. So Sir married another wife, Melinda, who was Hagrid's sister. "
"Oh?"
"Before that, Hagrid was just a martial artist. However, when Sir Sharon was still a horse thief, Hagrid had a good relationship with him. After marrying his sister to Sir, Hagrid used this opportunity to enter the center of power in Black Iron Castle. Coupled with his powerful personal strength, as well as the establishment of the Black Cloud Knight Regiment. It can be said that Hagrid's influence in the territory is gradually suppressing Sir Sharon himself. "
Alan said in surprise, "This is not good news. Sir Sharon is not afraid of being robbed by Hagrid." Is this not good news? "Sir Sharon said.
"Why aren't you afraid?" Belmond shook his head and smiled, "Sir Sharon is very afraid. Otherwise, he would not have nurtured his own personal guard all these years." His personal guards had been stationed in the City Lord's Mansion for many years, and Tucker, the commander of the guards, was regarded as the Knight with the most potential to break through the Level 20 barrier in Black Iron Castle after Hagrid. "If it weren't for this force in hand, I'm afraid Hagrid would have kicked Sir Sharon off the stage long ago, right?"
"In other words, the interior of Black Iron Castle is not so united. This is worth noting."
"Not only that, I also said just now that there are some interesting things." Belmond shrugged his shoulders and stopped keeping him in suspense. "Hagrid and Melinda have a secret affair," he said. Sir Sharon had heard of this long ago, but because of Hagrid's high position, he had never been able to touch him. So this green hat has been on the poor Sir's head for many years. "
"What?" Allen said in surprise, "Aren't Hagrid and Melinda siblings?"
"Their relationship is just a one-sided statement from Hagrid. Everyone knows that there are many ways to make a fuss about it. Besides, so what if it's a brother and sister? It's not the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. " Belmond smiled dryly and said, "The important thing is that there are rumors that Hagrid and Melinda have their own son. If this is true, what do you think will happen in the future? "
Allen thought for a moment and said, "Hagrid doesn't have to show up himself. He just has to protect this son. And this son, at least on the surface, is the child of Sir Sharon and Melinda, so he has the right to inherit. Well, as long as Hagrid eliminates the competitors for his children and helps him sit in the position of Lord of Black Iron Castle, it's not much different from him sitting in that position himself. "
"In that case … I seem to know who his child is."
"Oh? The boss is really well-informed. "This time, it was Belmond's turn to be surprised.
Allen shook his head and said, "No, I'm just guessing, but it should be eight or nine out of ten. Not long ago, Hagrid himself arrived before the envoy, accompanied by a young man. He's Sir Sharon's son, Bill. If what you said is true, then this Bill should be Hagrid's son. But judging from their attitude, Bill doesn't know the truth. "
"If I were Hagrid, I wouldn't let him know the truth. The less he knows, the better it will be for Hagrid. "Belmond smiled.
"You're right." Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's been hard on you this time. I'll give you a few days off. Spend more time with Miss Kira. If you're willing to marry, I can be your witness. "
Belmond laughed and said, "It's a little early to say that, and in our current situation, I don't have any intention of getting married. I think Kira is the same. "
Allen smiled but didn't say anything.
A week passed quickly. When the scaffolding began to be erected at the construction site outside the city, Allen left Storm City with a team.
The meeting place with Sir Sharon was at Dick's lair that day. According to Hagrid, it was once the end of the chaos in the Bloodstone Wilderness and the beginning of peace between Storm City and Black Iron Castle. It was of great significance.
And now, as the rising party, the people of Black Iron Castle had arrived at the meeting place three days ago.
Most of the stone houses in Dick's lair remained, and the collapsed cellar later became a tomb for burying corpses. The traces of the battle that day could still be seen here, as well as the dark red bloodstains that had been mixed with the sand and stones. Apart from the Black Cloud Knight Regiment, there were also two hundred infantry on this trip to the Black Iron Castle. After this team arrived, they settled down first to clean up this venue that would bring about major changes to the border area and prepare for it.
The day before Allen left, Sir Sharon arrived late with his personal guards. Hagrid arranged a ventilated room for Sir. As soon as Sir moved in, his personal guards immediately sealed off a large area nearby. Hagrid only smiled and told his Knight Regiment to retreat a little, so as not to cause friction with his personal guards at such a critical juncture and make outsiders laugh at him.
Unexpectedly, at night, a few screams came from Sharon's stone house. Following that, a woman covered in blood rushed out of the house, but she was taken down by the personal guards. One of the guards pulled out a sharp sword and pierced the woman's heart with a stab.
Hagrid heard the sound and happened to see this scene. He frowned and shook his head as he walked forward. The two guards stood in front of Hagrid expressionlessly and said, "My lord, it's late at night. The baron is already asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow. "
"Soldier, I'll give you a chance now. If you don't want to die, scram." Hagrid smiled coldly. In his eyes, these two rank ten personal guards didn't even have the qualifications to block the way.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been taking care of these guards over the years, Hagrid would have already taken action against them. These dogs raised by Sharon thought that they had climbed up to a good master, and all of them were arrogant and reckless. It wasn't the first or second time he had collided like this, but this time, Hagrid was already faintly angry.
His body emitted an invisible killing intent, and the enormous pressure caused the two personal guards to begin to feel unbearable. At this moment, a person walked out of the room and chuckled, "They are also acting according to orders. They have offended the Guild Leader. Please don't mind."
"Tucker." Hagrid narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young guard commander in front of him.
Tucker was less than thirty, but he already had the strength of Level 17. He was tall and didn't have the domineering pressure of Hagrid, but he also had his own bearing. His bronze-colored skin made him look as firm as iron. Coupled with his deep outline and status, he became the dream lover of all the girls in the Black Iron Castle.
Even Hagrid had to admit that such a promising youth was indeed worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, the two of them were not on the same side, so Hagrid did not buy his account. He pointed at the female corpse on the ground and said, "This is the female slave I just gave to Sir Sharon. Shouldn't you explain to me why she has turned into a corpse now?"
Before Tucker could speak, a rough voice sounded from the stone house, "I told them to kill him!"
A person emerged from the room. This man was even taller than Hagrid. On his rough face, a pair of eyes shone with a fierce light. His head was covered in frost, but his body was no different from a young man's. Even because of the precipitation of time, his body naturally emitted a thick aura. He was like a hard rock on the Bloodstone Wasteland. No matter how the wind and sand eroded, he still stood tall.
"Lord Baron." Tucker retreated to the side and called out softly.
This man was naturally the Lord of the Black Iron Castle, Baron Sharon!
