Four Hundred and Fiftieth IX Big Shot

Allen glanced at the documents sent by Tomen with satisfaction. After repelling the noble coalition forces, coupled with the stimulation of gold coins, another group of young people in the territory enlisted in the army. Now the number of the army is maintained at around 600 people, and with training, they will be a good force.

At this time, Belmod opened the door and came in. Seeing his smiling face, Allen knew that he had gained something.

"Fountain of youth?"

"Yes." Belmode nodded and said, "They are paying attention to the Fountain of Youth."

"The Fountain of Youth is the secret treasure of the Naga people. I heard Roger say it, and I thought it was a legend. If it is worth such a big fight, it is not as simple as a legend. Is there really something on this planet that can make people not old?" Allen shook his head and said, "What else did you dig out?"

"The one who wants the Fountain of Youth should not be the Earl of Blood, he is only a person on the surface. In fact, this Earl Eric is also instructed by someone. As for who the other party is, even the knight does not know. It should be a relationship with limited authority. However, it is worth noting that I obtained some other information from this knight."

Belmode put away his smile and said solemnly: "In this human empire, some people have reached the peak of their strength. Some of them are dukes with power, and some are strong men who walk around the world alone. But No matter what their identities are, the people of the empire collectively call them "Ten Saints", which means people who have stepped into the holy realm. According to some references provided by the knight, the Ten Saints are probably equivalent to those at the level of the ruler A strongman. In other words, probably at the same level as a federal general."

"There are ten general-level masters?" Allen said in surprise, "That's really incredible."

Belmode didn't care too much: "Although there are only four generals in the Federation, there are more than four in the Federation who have reached that level. For example, your grandfather, Mr. Horn, is at the same level as General Lu Sen. "

This is the first time Allen has heard other people comment on his grandfather, which is quite new. Then he said, "Then these so-called ten saints have something to do with what Earl Eric did this time?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Belmode said: "The Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce and the others did not capture ordinary Naga female slaves. The Naga people we released were from the Naga Royal Court."

"What?" Even Allen was surprised at this time, but it made sense after thinking about it. If it wasn't someone from the Naga Royal Court, how could it have alarmed Naga's princess Lily. Moreover, how could the figures of the Ten Saints be involved just to capture a few ordinary Naga female slaves?

Belmode continued: "The Naga royal family is said to live in a mysterious sea area called the Styx Corridor, where no ordinary boat can enter. Even if they can enter, they will be discovered by the Naga people.

In order to allow the blood sharks to sneak in, the Bloody Earl invited one of the ten saints, Midian known as the 'Twilight Prayer'. It was only because he distracted the royal family's attention that Blood Shark managed to capture the two Naga people. "

"They want to extract information about the Fountain of Youth from the Naga population?"

"Basically, what they really want is to safely enter the passage of the Styx corridor. In this way, Eric can mobilize the army to attack the corridor." Belmode said: "It is worth noting that according to the The knight said that although Midian was invited by the earl, he also paid a huge price. But in fact, it is difficult to hire people among the ten saints with worldly wealth alone, even though Midian ranks among the ten saints. After that, it is not so easy to invite. So behind this, there is still a mysterious figure working hard."

"We unintentionally ruined the good deeds of a certain important person, and he is someone who can attract the ten saints. I'm afraid we will have a lot of trouble in the future."

Alan laughed and said, "We have always had a lot of trouble. Leaving aside a certain big shot, just kill Eric's third son, and that Bloody Earl will never end with us."

"If it's just an earl, it's okay. I'm more worried about the real planner behind the scenes. We have screwed up such a big scheme with the goal of targeting the Fountain of Youth. If he asks the teacher, Xiao Xiao A Earl of Auban can't stand the pressure." Belmode worried, and said: "By the way, the knight said that they were attacked by the Naga royal family when they were at sea, so they came here alone. Otherwise, what we are facing is an excellent army, although there are only less than a hundred people, but the destructive power is not bad."

"Naga royal family?" Allen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said, "If this is the case, during this period of time, we probably only need to guard against Earl Eric's revenge."

"How to say?"

"Because the Naga royal family interfered. According to what you said just now, the Naga family is not stupid. They found out that there is a lot behind it, otherwise they would not attack Carlo and his party related to the blood shark. If the people around Carlo are caught , it is not difficult to know that Eric is involved in this matter. Although he is only a pawn on the surface, I don't think the Naga will let him go easily."

Belmode nodded and said: "In this way, Orca Port will inevitably attract the attack of the Naga royal family?"

"It's hard to say about the attack, but if the princess of the Naga clan asks for a crime, I'm afraid it will alarm the royal family of the empire. After all, there are some relationships between the royal family and the Naga clan. There are many princesses of the Naga clan who marry into the royal family in exchange for a family. A precedent for living space. That's why there are laws prohibiting the capture and redemption of Naga people in the empire. Once the royal family is alarmed, the people above Eric can only avoid the news for a while, and naturally they don't care about trouble with us. " Allen said in a deep voice: "At least in a short period of time, what we need to pay attention to is the movement of the bloody earl. Next, there should be no problem with the war in this viscounty land. Belmode, I need you to go to Orca Port. If that princess shows up, give her some advice. Better yet, win her over as our ally."

"Since they jumped into this muddy water because of the Naga clan, they have to take care of the trouble now. Besides, that princess still owes me a favor." Allen said with a smile.

Belmode got up and said, "I'll go get ready now."

"Take Qila, too, and let you have a holiday?"

"Then I have to pay my salary first." Belmode made a gesture of counting money, and the two laughed at the same time.

The next day, Belmode and Kira secretly left Sunset City. The Dark Blade warriors were sent out by Allen to collect information on Dawn Castle and Truff's Territory, so that they could shift positions in a short time and capture these two unowned lands.

On the second day after Bellmode left, Tomen brought a few people to Alan's study. These guests were all wearing cloaks, obviously not wanting others to know their identities. After entering the study room, they took off their hats, and the leader was a young man in his thirties, with a beard and a fair and refined appearance.

"Master Allen, this is Mr. Jodak, he is the fourth son of Earl Raffles." Tormen introduced.

Allen said "Oh", and said lightly: "Mr. Jodak, are you here to hold me accountable?"

Jodak smiled lightly and said: "When the two armies confront each other, there will be casualties. It is not a matter of pursuing or not pursuing responsibility. If I want to take revenge, I will not just stand here with a few followers, but bring an army forward. Here we come. Do you think so, Mrs. Allen?"

"So, Mr. Jodak has other important business?"

Jodak glanced at Tormen, who stepped forward and said, "Jordak hopes Lord Allen will support him and become the new owner of Dawn Castle. In return, he will swear allegiance to you, Lord."

"Oh?" This is Alan's second surprise today. It is a simple sentence, but it is not difficult for people to guess the meaning behind this sentence. It is probably related to a complicated power competition. Allen said lightly: "If you say that, then we can talk about a lot."

After Tuomen asked his servants to bring refreshments to everyone in the study, he left work without disturbing them. Allen asked Jodak and the others to sit down on the sofa on the other side, and said, "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

Jodak spread his hands and said, "Of course."

Sir Raffles was in the prime of his life, and therefore had no will. On this expedition, an accident that no one could have imagined happened. There was an uproar when his body was sent back to Dawn Castle, where he had four sons and three daughters. Don't talk about those daughters, just talk about these four sons, of which Jodak is the youngest and has the weakest foundation.

And his origins were not as clean as those of his older brothers. Jodak was an illegitimate child, the result of a night of carnival by Sir Raffles. His mother was not recognized by the knight at all, it was only because he was a man, otherwise the knight would not even claim his son. Although Jodak grew up under Jazz's knees, he has always been ostracized by his family. Especially his three elder brothers. When he was a child, Jodak was often fisted by these elder brothers.

Now the jazz died suddenly, and the brothers began to fight over who should own the title. And from the start, they didn't count Jodak in it. In order to obtain a formal succession, they even found Viscount Daniel.

"No matter which of my brothers becomes a knight, I will not be happy. They have planned to kill me a long time ago. It was fine when my father was alive. Now that my father is gone, they will not have any scruples." Jodak leaned forward Said: "So I hope Lord Allen can support me and let me become the master of Dawn Castle. Only in this way can I save my life, and the Lord will also get my loyalty and a knight's territory."

Allen coughed lightly and said, "Why don't you go directly to Earl Auban, you must know that by doing so, you are offering your allegiance to me and becoming my vassal, not the Earl."

Jodak said with a smile: "If I were at my father's age, I would of course choose Count Aubain instead of you for the sake of prudence. But I am still young, and I have to gamble when I am young. To be loyal to the count, perhaps All my life I have been but a little knight. But if it were you, and probably by your strength, I would be more than that."

"As you can see, I am also an ambitious person."

(Congratulations to brother Xiang for being promoted to the leader, and thanks to all the brothers who voted monthly to reward, Lao Chen will continue to work hard!)
