Chapter 69 The Secret of Black Eagle Town
In the study, the two of them sat opposite each other.
Old John poured a glass of wine for them, then gently closed the door and left, allowing their uncle and nephew to enjoy this rare meeting alone.
Kane took a sip of wine and looked at Shaun opposite him and said, "Shaun, what are your plans in the future?"
Sean didn't understand what he meant by asking, and said casually: "I can only stay in Blackhawk Town now, and then work hard to grow it."
Hearing this, Kane shook his head and said, "Blackhawk Town may never develop due to its geographical location. This is not a good place."
Sean nodded in agreement, "I know, but I just want to change it through my own efforts."
“No matter how hard you try, you can’t change it.”
Kane sighed: "Shawn, you should know that the Black Hawk Territory is in a harsh environment, and it cannot be opened up here, whether it is transportation, transportation, or commodity trade. If it could really develop, Black Hawk Town would have developed long ago."
Sean didn't refute him and asked, "Why do you want to tell me this?"
Seeing that he disagreed, Kane shook his head and said, "Now I tell you that I hope you make plans early."
Sean said: "What can I plan to do? I can't go anywhere except here."
"No, you have to find a way out for yourself."
Kane looked at him with a serious expression, "This place may be very dangerous. If you continue to stay here, no one can guarantee how long you can live."
Sean was stunned, "What does it mean?"
Kane was silent for a moment, "I'm here this time and I want to tell you a major secret."
"A major secret?"
Sean's heart moved and asked hurriedly: "What's the secret?"
Kane pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You should know that before you came to Blackhawk Town, seven lords had died in this territory in a row within ten years."
Sean nodded, "I know, is there anything wrong with this?"
Kane sneered: "Of course there is a problem. Maybe you don't know. Ryan has secretly sent a lot of people to investigate around the Black Hawk Territory over the years."
Sean vaguely felt that this matter was not simple and wanted to know the answer, "What is the result of the investigation?"
"This may be a sacrificial ground for the undead wizard!"
"Sacrificial ground?"
Sean's face changed, "You mean there may be a necromancer hidden in our Black Hawk Territory?"
Kane nodded, "According to classics, only the soul of a lord must be sacrificed within a specific time before refining the legion of the undead will be required to sacrifice the soul within a specific time. The longer the last time, the more lords sacrificed, the more the number of the undead legions summoned, and the stronger the strength will be."
Sean frowned and said, "If this is the case, it will be a disaster, why not inform the church."
"I have notified the church long ago!"
Kane said with a gloomy face: "The church has sent people to investigate, but no trace of the wizard was found. Judging from the current situation, the strength of the undead wizard is very terrible. As long as he cannot hide out, no one can find him. Even if he is born, the Red-robed Archbishop cannot deal with him, because it is close to the dark forest. If he escapes into the sin forest, the Holy See has no way to deal with him."
Sean pondered for a moment and asked, "I'm very puzzled. What is the purpose of this undead wizard? I've been lurking in the Black Hawk Territory for ten years. Is it just for personal preference?"
Kane shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. There may be a huge political conspiracy hidden behind it."
After saying that, he suddenly took out the map he carried with him and spread it on the desktop.
Sean also came up to look at it.
This picture is a floor plan of the entire Eastern Continent. Although the paintings are not so detailed, you can also see the geographical appearance of the entire Eastern Continent.
Tulip Principality, located in the middle of the map.
The northwest region of the Principality borders the "Keth Castle Kingdom" entrenched on the northwest coast, and the northwest fortress Snow Wolf City is to prevent the establishment of the Castle Kingdom.
The northeastern region of the Principality is adjacent to the rising "Dule of Monroe", and the territory of the Marquis of Chilan Mountain is that area, and his role is to prevent the invasion of the Principality of Monroe.
As for the southeastern region of the Principality, it is backed by the Lion Kingdom. Since the Principality was originally separated from the Lion Kingdom, the relationship between the two countries has always been very friendly and close.
Outside the southwest area of the Tulip Principality, there are more than a dozen small countries, and some countries do not even have half of the territory of Snow Wolf City.
Those countries have relatively small power, fight against each other on weekdays, and sometimes even ask for help from the Tulip Principality, so they do not pose any threat to the Principality.
The remaining area is the dark forest.
The dark forest is so big that it exceeds the sum of the Tulip Principality and the Monroe Principality.
It is like a triangle, with its sharp top bordering the Black Hawk Territory, and then slowly spreads backwards, blocking the Castle Kingdom and Monroe kilometers on both sides.
At this time, Kane pointed to the Black Hawk Territory in the middle of the map, "This is Black Hawk Town in the middle, the Snow Wolf Plain on the left, and the Chilan Mountain Territory on the right. Have you found anything?"
Sean looked down and looked seriously again, then shook his head and said, "I only saw a big road in Snow Wolf City that leads directly to Chilan Mountain Territory. And this road must pass through Boer Mountain behind Black Eagle Town. This avenue is a fast support channel between Snow Wolf City and Chilan Mountain."
Kane said lightly: "If a powerful undead legion appeared in Blackhawk Town and cut off this path, what consequences would you think?"
Hearing this, Sean suddenly woke up, "You mean someone has installed a chess piece here, trying to cut off the connection between Chilan Mountain and Snow Wolf City? If so, not only will Black Eagle Town suffer a catastrophe, but the entire northern defense line will be very dangerous."
Kane nodded, "What we are not sure about now is whether this chess piece of the undead legion was placed in the Kingdom of Castle or buried in the Principality of Monroe. If we cannot determine the target, we cannot determine the combat plan. This is what we are most worried about, and what Grand Duke Tulip is most worried about."
Sean said: "Since that's the case, why not report to the church and ask the church to send a legion of God's punishment to guard the place, so that this problem can be completely solved. Isn't killing wizards the responsibility of the church, especially the evil necromancers."
Kane shook his head and said, "You are here and don't know a lot of things. Just last month, the Pope, who was far away in the Holy Court Constantinople, had just issued a divine order, recruiting almost all elite forces from the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent and the Red Mountain Continent respectively, and forming a divine punishment army of more than 300,000 people to prepare to cross the sea to expedition the distant Augustine Empire."
When Sean heard such a big melon for the first time, he couldn't help but say curiously: "Why did the Pope send so many elite forces to fight the distant Augustine Empire?"
Kane said: "I heard that it seems to be the Augustinian Empire. Over the years, it has been ordering that the people are not allowed to believe in the Creation God Church. All the churches of the Creation God Church were demolished and many important heads of religion were massacred, including eight white-robed bishops and two red-robed bishops. What made the Pope even more angry was that a Knights Templar led by the Envoy of Light was directly annihilated by Augustine's Dragon Knights."
The news was indeed shocking, and Sean sighed: "When I say so, the Augustine Empire and the Holy See will probably be in a state of dying in the future."
Kane nodded and said, "The Holy See is absolutely not allowed. Someone can get rid of its control, no one can do it."
Speaking of this, he paused and continued to sneer: "Now the five red-robed archbishops in the five major dioceses in the East Continent seem to be not united, and they are even intrigue. In order to compete for the position of the Holy Envoy of Light on the East Continent, they set up almost all the hills. Except for the Pope of Constantinople, they do not listen to anyone's orders, and including the emergence of powerful undead wizards, they will choose to preserve their strength and will not take action easily!"
"The Holy Envoy of Light..."
Sean frowned and said, "Our Eastern Continent, the throne of the Holy Envoy of Light, seems to have been vacant for decades."
Kane nodded, "If there were no Envoy of Light, the major dioces of our Eastern Continent could not be unified, which gave the red-robed archbishops the opportunity to climb and run. You must know that only by electing Envoy of Light can one go to Constantinople to compete with Envoy of Light from other continents to compete for the next Pope's succession."
"Now the entire Eastern Continent, both the kingdoms and the major dioceses, are the most chaotic and dark times."
Sean lowered his head and thought, "At present, all the elite forces of the church have been transferred to the Eastern Expedition in the entire Eastern Continent. It is indeed difficult to deal with this powerful necromancer, but as far as I know, the undead legion awakened by the necromancers cannot exist all the time, they have time limits."
Kane shook his head and said, "They don't need to exist for too long. As long as they give us a fatal blow at the critical moment of foreign enemies' invasion, our entire northern defense line will be in danger. Therefore, you must leave here before the undead legion explodes, otherwise you will definitely die. This is also my main purpose this time."
Sean lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "But without the orders of Count Ryan, I can't go anywhere. Besides, no one knows when the undead legion will break out."
"According to the predictions of the Great Prophets, the Legion of the Undead will definitely break out within these two years."
Kane knew his situation was very troublesome and said, "The Castle Kingdom has sent troops to occupy several small towns outside our surrounding areas. The war has begun. At that time, I think Ryan should recruit your territory to join the war zone."
Sean frowned and said, "We in Black Hawk Town, we have no one to ask for money, what should we transfer to the battlefield to do? Do you think this war has no benefit except to bring me losses and casualties. If I can refuse, I will choose not to go."
"No, you were wrong!"
Kane shook his head and said, "War brings far more than sacrifice and loss, but also many opportunities. As long as you are brave enough to accumulate merit in the war, with your identity as a divine master and a baron, you will easily gain the favor of Grand Duke Tulip. When you get the reward for military merits, you may have another piece of land, a piece of land that is truly suitable for long-term development."
Speaking of this, he paused, "By then, you have two territories, one in Blackhawk Town, and another in other places, so that you can change your territory before the undead legion breaks out, and leave the Blackhawk territory to take over after the crisis is lifted."
Hearing this, Sean's heart moved and his eyes shone again, "Uncle Kane, thank you for your advice. I know how to go in the future."
Kane nodded with relief, "It's good if you understand, otherwise my trip will be in vain."
Suddenly, Sean seemed to think of something, "Such a major secret should be prohibited from being disclosed. Have you told my mother that she had asked you for help?"
Kane was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "We all hope you will live well."
"Thanks……"
Silence for a moment,
Sean slowly raised his head and stared at Kane's gaze, "Uncle Kane, I will always remember every gift you have given me since you were young."
This time, Kane fell into silence.
After being silent for a long time, Kane suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, it's time for me to leave."
He was leaving, and Sean could not continue to try to keep him.
He rode a horse and sent him to the border of the territory, ready to wave goodbye.
At this moment, Kane turned his head and looked at him again, saying, "Shawn, fate should be in our own hands. We cherish life, but we cannot become mediocre. At any time, we must have the spirit of an adventurer!"
After saying that, Kane left Blackhawk territory with two young knights without looking back.
Looking at the backs of the three riding horses, Sean sat on the horse's back and murmured to himself: "I have always had the spirit of adventure, but you just don't know."
