Allen glanced at the documents sent by Tuomen with satisfaction. After repelling the noble alliance army, coupled with the stimulation of gold coins, another group of young people in the territory enlisted in the army. Right now, the number of troops was around six hundred. With training, they would be a good force.
At this moment, Belmond pushed the door open and entered. Looking at his smiling face, Allen knew that he had gained something.
"Immortal Spring?"
"Yes." Belmond nodded and said, "They're paying attention to the Immortal Spring."
'"The Immortal Spring is a secret treasure of the Nagas. I heard Roger say that it was a legend. If it's worth it, then it's not as simple as a legend. Could it be that there really is something on this planet that can make people immortal? "Allen shook his head and said," What else did you dig out? "
"It shouldn't be the Bloody Earl who wants the Immortal Spring. He's just a person on the surface. In fact, Earl Eric was still under someone\'s orders. As for who the other party was, even the Knight didn't know. It should be because of limited authority. However, it's worth noting that I managed to get some other information out of this knight. "
Belmond put away his smile and said solemnly, "In this human empire, there are some people who have reached the peak of power. Some of them are dukes with power, while others are experts who walk alone around the world." But no matter what their identities were, the people of the empire called them the Ten Saints, meaning that they were people who had stepped into the Saint realm. According to some of the references provided by the Knight, the Ten Saints were roughly equivalent to experts on the level of the Dominator. In other words, it's about the same level as the Federation General. "
"There are ten general-level experts?" Allen was speechless and said, "That's really amazing."
Belmond didn't care too much. "Although there are only four generals in the Federation, there are more than four people who have reached that level. For example, your grandfather, Mr. Horn, is on the same level as General Russen. "
This was the first time Allen had heard someone else evaluate his grandfather, and he found it quite fresh. "So these so-called Ten Saints have something to do with what Earl Eric did this time?" he added.
"It's very much related." Belmore said, "The Blood Shark Merchant Guild did not capture ordinary Naga slaves. The Nagas we released are from the Naga Royal Court."
"What?" This time, even Allen was surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable. If it wasn't for the people of the Naga Royal Court, how could they have alarmed Naga's Princess Lily? Moreover, how could someone who was involved in the Ten Saints just capture a few ordinary Naga female slaves?
"The Naga Royal Clan is said to live in a mysterious sea called the Nether River Corridor. Ordinary ships cannot enter that place. Even if he could enter, he would be discovered by the Naga people. In order for the blood sharks to sneak in, the Bloody Earl invited one of the Ten Saints, Midian, who was known as the Evening Prayer. Only by diverting the attention of the royal family did the Blood Shark successfully capture the two Nagas. "
"They want to get information about the Fountain of Youth from the Naga people?"
"Almost. What they really want is a safe passage to the Nether River Corridor. This way, Eric can mobilize his troops to attack the corridor. "Belmore said," It's worth noting that, according to the Knight. Although Midian was invited by the count, he had also paid a huge price. However, in reality, it was very difficult to invite the figures of the Ten Saints with worldly wealth alone. Even though Midian was ranked at the bottom of the Ten Saints, it was not that easy to invite him. So, there's still a mysterious person behind this. "
"We have unintentionally destroyed the good deeds of a big shot. Moreover, it is someone who can invite the Ten Saints. I'm afraid we will have a lot of trouble in the future."
Allen smiled and said, "We have always had a lot of trouble. Let's not talk about a certain big shot. Just killing Eric's third son will make the Bloody Earl fight us to the death. "
'"It would be fine if it was just a count. I'm more worried about the real mastermind behind the scenes. They laid out such a big scheme, their goal was the Immortal Spring, but we messed it up. If he were to interrogate us, a small Earl Oban wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure. " Belmore said worriedly, "By the way, the Knight said that they were attacked by the Naga Royal Clan when they were at sea. That's why they came here alone. Otherwise, we would be facing an excellent army. Even though there are less than a hundred of them, their destructive power is extraordinary. "
"Naga Royal Clan?" Allen tapped the table with his finger and said, "If that's the case, we probably just need to guard against Earl Eric's revenge during this period of time."
"What do you mean?"
'"Because the Naga Royal Clan has interfered. According to what you said just now, the Naga Royal Clan is not stupid. There is something behind this. Otherwise, they would not have attacked Carlo and the others who are related to the Blood Shark. If we catch the people around Carlo, it won't be hard to know that Eric is involved in this matter. Even though he is just a pawn on the surface, I don't think the Naga Clan will let him go easily. "
Belmore nodded and said, "In that case, Killer Whale Harbor will definitely attract the Naga Royal Clan's attack?"
'"It's hard to say, but if the princess of the Naga Clan questions, I'm afraid it will alarm the empire's royal family. After all, there was some relationship between the royal family and the Naga Clan. There was no lack of precedents for the Naga Clan's princesses to marry into the royal family in exchange for living space for the clan. That was why there was a decree prohibiting the capture and redemption of the Naga people within the empire. Once the royal family is alarmed, the people above Eric can only temporarily avoid the wind, so naturally, they won't be able to cause trouble for us. " Allen said in a deep voice, "At least in the short term, we need to pay attention to the movements of the Bloody Earl. Next, there shouldn't be any problems with the Baron's war. Belmore, I need you to go to Killer Whale Harbor. If the princess appears, you might as well give her some advice. It's best to win her over as our ally. "
"Since it's because of the Naga Clan that they jumped into this muddy water, now that there's trouble, they naturally have to bear more responsibility. Besides, Her Highness the Princess still owes me a favor. "Allen smiled.
Belmore stood up and said, "I'll go prepare now."
"Bring Kira along as well. Just treat it as a vacation for you guys?"
"Then I need to pay some salary first." Belmore made a gesture to count the money, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
The next day, Belmore and Kira secretly left Sunset City. The Dark Blade warriors were sent out by Allen to gather information about Dawn Castle and Duruf's territory, so that they could move their positions in a short period of time and capture these two ownerless lands.
The day after Belmore left, Tuomen brought a few people to Allen's study. These guests were all wearing cloaks, obviously not wanting others to detect their identities. After entering the study, they lifted their hats. One of them was a young man who was less than thirty years old. He had a beard and looked fair and gentle.
"Lord Allen, this is Mr. Geordak. He is the fourth son of Earl Raffles." Tuomen introduced.
Ellen said "Oh" and said indifferently, "Mr. Geordak, could it be that you are here to hold me accountable?"
Geordak smiled faintly and said, "There will be casualties when the two armies confront each other. If I wanted to take revenge, I wouldn't be standing here with just a few followers. I would have brought an entire army with me. Don't you think so, Lord Allen? "
"So Mr. Geordak has other important matters to attend to?"
Geordak glanced at Tuomen, who stepped forward and said, "Geordak hopes that Lord Allen will support him and become the new owner of Dawn Castle. In return, he will swear allegiance to you, Lord. "
"Oh?" This was the second accident of Allen today. It was a simple sentence, but it wasn't hard for people to guess the meaning behind it. It was probably related to a complicated competition for power. Allen said indifferently, "In that case, there's a lot we can talk about."
After Tuomen had his servants bring tea and snacks to the people in the study, he didn't disturb them and left his work. Allen invited Geordak and the others to sit down on the other side of the sand and said, "Can you tell me the details?"
Geordak spread out his hands and said, "Of course."
Sir Raffles was in his prime, so he had not left a will. However, an unexpected accident occurred during this expedition. When his body was sent back to Dawn Castle, it caused a huge uproar. He had four sons and three daughters under his knees. Not to mention the daughters, only the four sons, Geordak was the youngest and had the weakest foundation.
Moreover, his background was not as clean as his brothers. Geordak was an illegitimate child, the result of a night of revelry by Sir Raffles. His mother was not recognized by Sir at all. It was not that he was a man, otherwise Sir would not even recognize him as a son. Although Geordak had grown up under Sir's knee, he had always been ostracized by his family. Especially his three brothers. When he was young, Jordak had suffered a lot from these brothers' fists.
Now that Sir had suddenly died, his brothers began to compete for the title. From the beginning, they didn't count Geordak in. In order to obtain the official inheritance, they even found Viscount Daniel.
"No matter which of my brothers becomes Sir, I won't be well off. They planned to kill me from a long time ago, and my father was fine when he was alive. Now that my father is gone, they won't have any scruples. " Geordak leaned forward and said, "So I hope Lord Allen can support me and let me become the master of Dawn Castle. Only then will I be able to save my life, and my lord will also have my loyalty and a Sir's territory. "
Allen coughed softly and said, "Why don't you go straight to Earl Oban? You know, by doing so, you will be loyal to me and become my vassal, not the Earl."
Geordak smiled and said, "If I were at my father's age, I would certainly choose Earl Oban over you for the sake of prudence. But I'm still young, and I have to gamble when I'm young. Perhaps I will only be a little Sir for the rest of my life if I am loyal to the count. However, if it is you, I will probably be able to do more than that with your strength. "
"As you can see, I am also an ambitious person."
