It was night, and in a second-rate restaurant in Dawn Castle, Allen was sitting in a dangerous position. Originally, with his status, it would not be a problem for him to meet a noble like Rhine, even if he put on the highest standard of ostentation. After all, this trip north was a matter of honor and disgrace, so it was worth it no matter how much it cost. However, Edward gave him such an address, and he didn\'t ask why, so he came directly.
He only brought Nairi, who was close to him. However, Nairi had changed her clothes. Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching to wear that cloak in and out of the restaurant. Nairi didn\'t see any swords or sabers on her body. In any case, their Azure Dragon Knight\'s "Vast Ocean Blue Wave" was originally a method of condensing power and mimicry, so it didn\'t matter much to them whether they brought weapons or not. However, Nairi\'s appearance was extremely lethal. Even though she tried her best to choose neutral clothes to conceal her beauty, it still made the men in the restaurant lose their minds.
What was worse was that a woman like Nelly, who was a woman that a man wished he could hide at home and dote on, was now standing quietly behind a silver-haired man, causing the men in the restaurant to curse in their hearts for wasting natural resources recklessly.
Allen was indifferent, while Nairi looked as if it was natural. When Rhine arrived, he found that the two of them in the restaurant had already become the focus of attention in the room. He smiled, straightened his collar, and slowly walked over.
Seeing Rhine, Allen smiled and invited him to take a seat. Then, he made a gesture and the waiter began to serve the wine and dishes. When Rhine sat down, he "accidentally" glanced at Nairi and his smile immediately froze. He only recovered after a moment. He sat down and exhaled, "I thought I had seen enough beauties. Now that I saw the person behind Lord Allen, I realized that I was not only wrong, but also ridiculously wrong."
Nairi calmly accepted this flattery that was neither light nor heavy. Allen smiled and said, "I just arrived today. I was in a hurry. Please don\'t mind me arranging such a place to meet you."
Rhine waved his hand and smiled, "The most important thing is to see Lord Allen. It doesn't matter where we meet. Moreover, with the presence of the young lady behind you, wouldn't it be an honor to go anywhere? "
"No matter how nice your words are, I can't give Nairi to you," Allen said directly.
"Nairi?" A moment later, he shook his head and smiled, "Lord Allen is quite direct. That's right, I'm just a middleman, I don't deserve such a heavy gift from Lord Allen. "
Allen shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. I'm not looking down on Mr. Rhine. On the contrary, I am grateful that Mr. Rhine is willing to pave the way for me, a person from the South. Nairi is an important person to me. Not to mention you, even if the Emperor wanted her, I wouldn't give her to him. "
Only then did Rhine say "oh", but his expression wasn't as sour as before. Regardless of whether Allen's words were sincere or perfunctory, he still took care of his face. With the current power of this young man in front of him, it was enough for him to be able to do this.
After a small interlude, Rhine said directly, "Baron Edward mentioned to me that Lord Allen had the intention of going north. This is exactly what my lord wants. He originally wanted me to be a matchmaker, but now it has saved me a lot of effort. "
"Mr. Rhine, who is the lord above?"
Rhine smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you now." When I saw you at Earl Oban's banquet, you were just a baron. Although I had the intention to get to know you, if you were to use your achievements at that time, then the lord above me would at most be a marquis. But now it's different. Lord Allen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His Highness the Second Prince, Julian, wants to get to know you well. "
He wasn't as overjoyed as Rhine had imagined, nor was he shocked. Allen only said "oh" and looked like "that's more like it", causing Rhine to smile bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself, could it be that if I only moved out a marquis, I would still have to be sent away by this young man?
Thinking about it, it was inconceivable.
Allen smiled and said, "It's rare for Your Highness to see so far. He can actually see me, a person from the Southern Region."
'"The imperial family's spies are all over the country. How can every move within the empire escape our emperor's eyes? Although this place was indeed a little far from the Northern Capital, the imperial family was still clear about what was going on. Not to mention far away, just half a year ago, there was an anomaly in the Wilderness Highlands at the border, and someone went to investigate. As for the recent incident, hey, Lord Allen's act of killing an outsider expert is truly impressive. "Rhine gave a thumbs up.
Allen unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife. Not only was he surprised that the King Snake Base in the Wilderness Highlands had sent a signal to Adahua Planet that day had indeed attracted the attention of the empire, but he also admired Edward's foresight. The empire's spies were truly everywhere. For example, this Rhine in front of him could be one of them. It was not surprising that such a person was loyal to the so-called Second Prince. Which one of them did not have multiple identities?
Rhine continued, "When His Highness asked about the situation in the Southern Region, I actually mentioned you." However, at that time, His Highness's achievements were not enough to enter His Highness's eyes, so he put them aside. It wasn't until this time that His Highness took advantage of expelling outsiders and killing each other's experts that His Highness truly saw it in his eyes. Lord Allen, His Highness has entrusted me with a message. "
"Please speak."
"His Highness said that the day His Highness sets foot on North Capital Oliska will be the day you become an Earl."
Allen nodded, "Full of sincerity."
"Of course." Rhine still did not see any shock on Allen's face. While admiring the young man's maturity, he said, "Of course, the Count is only the treatment you deserve, His Highness. His Highness said that as long as His Highness has the strength, he can even get you a Marquis. "
Allen laughed, "Looks like my trip north won't go so smoothly. But I'm very curious about what His Highness Julian sees in me. Please tell me in advance, Mr. Rhine, so that I can do my homework. Otherwise, when I see His Highness, it would be very embarrassing if I showed the wrong face. "
Rhine laughed and said, "Lord Allen is so funny." '"Combat strength, that's right. His Highness is not interested in Lord Allen's ability to govern the territory, nor is it your war strategy," he said seriously. "It's the simplest combat strength. If you don't have the saber to kill an outsider expert, then even if your territory doubles, it won't enter His Highness' eyes."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the Northern Capital is about to surge." Rhine deliberately smiled mysteriously and said, "Because our emperor intends to choose a crown prince."
