Section 201 Greeting

The night was very peaceful. Because they entered as an Allied army, although they were foreigners, they were also well received by residents. Local officials also provided them with extra supplies. At this moment, a fat sheep hung on the bonfire in front of Berel. With the rotation of the roast fork, oil dripped from the roasted sheep from time to time and fell into the bonfire. The aroma of barbecue filled the surroundings.

A dozen officers and a local official accompanied Beer. Everyone was drinking beer and chatting, waiting for the completion of the barbecue meal. It must be said that since Beerer came to help once before, he was quite famous in this country and was widely admired.

"I heard that General Berel is in poor health recently?" the local official asked suddenly. He was sitting next to Berel, so he could see Berel's physical condition - well, no matter how he looked, Berel didn't look sick.

"The king is in his heart, and he dare not refuse." Beller blocked the topic lightly. On the surface, he answered, but in fact he didn't explain whether he was sick at all.

"Sir, I heard about what happened in Fornoros City..." Robin came up from the side and brought the topic to another aspect. He had noticed that the local official was not very good at drinking, so although the main meal had not started at this time, he seemed to be 50% or 60% drunk. He asked Belle just now, and he should have asked casually.

"Oh, that matter... that Earl Ashurufat is so bold and arrogant..." When talking about this topic, the official sighed. "In his own country, killing his subjects who had already surrendered is far beyond the needs of war. No matter how he explains it, it will not be explained. I heard that he didn't even have time to return to the army, so that his Majesty the Queen ordered the deputy general to take charge of the army and let him go back to the Eagle City immediately."

Robin looked at Beller, and Beller gave him a meaningful look.

"I heard a rumor," said Robin. "Is this city-slaughter order issued by the Queen?"

"It's too ridiculous," the official replied. "Why are there such rumors?"

"Because I heard that a large amount of property was seized from Fornoros," Robin replied. "Maybe because Her Majesty had a financial difficulty, so I simply used this method to solve the problem?"

"You're probably wrong. Our queen has no difficulties in this regard." The official replied casually. "It's natural to seize the spoils, but it's between this and the massacre..."

"The meat is ready!" Someone screamed and interrupted the conversation.

Because he was the master, the official stood up and took a knife to cut the roasted lamb and distributed it to the people present. As soon as he left, Robin immediately came to Beller's side. Cutting such freshly roasted boiling lamb is also a laborious task, and the roasted lamb temporarily attracted everyone's attention, and no one noticed the expressions of Beller and Robin.

"General...this..."

"Well, a miracle happened, right?" Beller said softly.

In fact, the secret information from Eagle City has been basically cut off during this period. In fact, almost as the little queen led the army to the expedition, the source of Eagle City's intelligence was interrupted. This is not a particularly outrageous thing. If such a spy is discovered and the other party does not want to trigger a diplomatic conflict because of this matter, then the unfortunate spy will quietly disappear from the world and no one will know him again. If it is a spy network, then a person's identity is revealed and the entire spy network may be uprooted.

Because of this, Berel doesn't know much about the situation in the Falcon City - especially the mysterious financial issue. Of course, spies are endlessly killed. Tiberius (perhaps Berel himself is also) must have sent subsequent spies. However, financial information, even if it is not confidential, usually only flows between the top leaders of the country. When a spy who successfully built a social circle is killed, his successors always need a long time to restore such sources of intelligence. Therefore, the information revealed by this official inadvertently surprised both Berel and Robin.

After a long time, when everyone started to have dinner on the plate, Robin found another opportunity to chat with the official. As mentioned earlier, due to poor alcohol tolerance, this person was already 50% or sixty-six. Drunk people always like to talk, and he lacked vigilance. In his heart, he was talking about some rumor that had nothing to do with state secrets, just to make a smile on his face.

"So...is it because of the royal treasure buried by the wilderness sage Garunas? The secrets of this treasure are only protected by the royal family from generation to generation?"

"Well... everyone said that, it's amazing, right?"

At this moment, Robin had already figured out the origin of the official, and this person came from Eagle City. In fact, it has been more than twenty days since he was in office. In other words, the information in his mouth can be said to be first-hand precious information, and even if there are mixed rumors, there are very few.

"It's really surprising," Robin admitted. "Our Lord Garunas actually counts today...he has been dead for many years."

"Haha... I'm also a person with the title of 'Sage'. But then again, I personally feel that maybe it's not a wild sage, but arranging a secret wealth for future generations. This is also a human nature."

"That's true, it's a bit like that."

While others continued to eat, Robin and Beller quietly walked into an uninhabited corner.

"Sir General, do you believe what he said?" Robin asked.

"This question should be asked in reverse..." Beral replied. "Robin, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Robin replied immediately.

"Oh, why? According to the logic of the gentleman just now, King Markremiz and Garunas made great achievements and achieved countless victories, they must have obtained countless spoils. Hiding part of these wealth... This seems reasonable logic. Besides," Beller paused. "Garunas is known as a wise man, and this title is not for nothing. With his eyes, he can definitely see the hidden dangers of excessively powerful domestic aristocratic forces... At least he can see that the foundation of the royal power is not so stable. In this case, leaving a sum of money is also a good foreshadowing as the cost of the descendants of future generations once they lose the throne."

"General, because the amount of money is too large." Robin replied bluntly. "According to today's logic, if King Markremiz really leaves some money for his descendants, as a way to settle down after losing the throne... almost a million Jin Oli would be exaggerated. If there is more, it would not be a cost for settlement! Besides, King Markremiz founded the country and became king, and if he wanted to build the country, it would inevitably require a lot of money. He would not have been able to spend too much money, but kept it for his descendants. Unless the wild sage Garunas has the ability to foresee, even if the dilemma faced by the royal family today, it would never be possible to leave so much money."

"That's right!" Beller patted Robin's shoulder hard to encourage. "That's it, you grasped the core of the problem at once. So, this miracle cannot be created by Garunas, there must be another reason."

"Sir, are there any clues?"

"There is no clue." Berel replied. "But it's certain that there are a few people who must know the true content of this miracle. One is our little queen, and the other is the mysterious Earl of Ashu Rufat. What a pity, these two... are not easy to deal with. Alas, Robin, it was really a mistake that you didn't find a way to meet the little queen when you went to Eagle City last time. Otherwise, there would be a general direction now."

"Sorry, General..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Berel suddenly smiled. "Anyway, it won't take a few days to see the... monster of the Markremiz family. Alas, speaking of it, I really don't want to play such tricks."

"General... are you scared?" Robin suddenly felt that Beller looked a little strange.

"I'm afraid, saying I'm not afraid is a lie. She is only twelve... no, thirteen years old. This means that if nothing unexpected happens, she will live a long life, much longer than me and you. This is her biggest and unshakable advantage. It's like killing a snake. If she can't be killed in one go, the snake will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. This is what I'm worried about."

Robin didn't know how to answer for a while.

"However, as a minister, you must first prioritize His Majesty's mission." Berel said softly. "Maybe it is difficult to annex Groney or something, but at least... I at least hope that this land under my feet will become the border between the two countries."

...

The walls of Eagle Falcon City can be seen in front of you.

As a royal city, the city looks a little dark from a distance, which is particularly obvious on cloudy days.

The traces of war and coup are no longer visible. At this moment, even if the road to the city is not full of traffic, at least there is no stop for people coming and going.

Ashurufat slowed down his horse and let a car that emitted the stench of livestock pass by. The car contained about a dozen fat pigs - cities like Eagle and Falcon City consumed a lot of supplies every day. Most of these things were transported from rural areas near the city.

Ashu Rufate suddenly remembered when he first entered the city, at that time...

"Ash Rufate!" A cheerful shout interrupted Ash Rufate's thoughts. He looked back and saw a green ordinary two-wheeled carriage. A man's upper body poked out of the window and was trying hard to say hello to him. This person's appearance is very distinctive, and even if it is far apart, it is extremely difficult for people to admit it wrong.

"Ajin?" Ashu Rufat was stunned.
Chapter completed!
