Chapter 860 (2/2)
Maybe Reuven's beard on the corner of his mouth... Is not just to appear mature.
”Later, when the sky palace ordered Duke Bain to visit the ancient wood forest as a special envoy, I knew... I'm afraid it's not that simple.”
After calming down, Reuven Fred's expression gradually became dignified: ”Loren, I'm not alarmist - I don't know about the Azores kingdom or anything... But now the Ancient Wood Forest Elves are no longer the ones you fought side by side.”
”I don't know what happened, but something must have happened. The seriousness of the problem is even far greater than the original ogre invasion!”
”That's why I said you came at a bad time!”
The voice fell, and he sighed heavily again.
The atmosphere in the room was a little low.
”Just the opposite...”
The black haired wizard raised his head and looked at Lu Wen with sincere eyes: ”I think I came at the right time!”
Especially before jumping into an unknown disaster, a friend can stand up and remind himself.
It's really... Better not to fight unknown enemies like in the past.
Lu Wen was surprised at first, then grinned: ”Loren Turin, it's great to meet old friends again... It's great!”
”You can't imagine how I came here in the past six months - dozens, no! Hundreds of times. How I wish you could stand where you are now!”
”Well... Archduke lottel doesn't think so.” the dark haired wizard smiled. ”I heard that he has scolded me more than once, the 'non religious' Duke, and asked me to stay here. He will worry that I will lead you bad.”
”Because of this, when I passed yingshou castle, I didn't dare to stop at the castle and go around directly.”
”Ha ha ha ha...” Lu Wen laughed heartily, tilted his mouth and raised his chin proudly: ”don't worry about this. In a few years, my father will take the initiative to abdicate. Then I will be the Lord of lottel - then you can come and go if you want.”
”From the river valley in the south to the deep forest in the north, I'll see who dares to stop you!”
Looking at him, Lauren could only shrug
As the son of the first Duke to inherit both shenlinbao and yingshoubao, Reuven Fred will be the first person to fully control the north and south of lottel; Archduke Friede abdicated early, probably to avoid his sudden death and unrest, and ensure that ruwen can actually take power and will not be elevated by the nobles below because of his character.
His friend is about to become the Duke of lottel, which is good news for the black haired Wizard - for the Holy Cross Church, the Principality of lottel is like a rear base camp, and it is also the capital they have always been able to confront the principalities.
The two people who looked at each other with four eyes smiled at each other with ”tacit understanding”.
”Well, now that you have come - although I don't know whether you are willing or like your father said, you are just coerced by your majesty for some balance... Balabalabala...”
It was like thinking of something very complicated and troublesome. An impatient expression flashed from Lu Wen's face, and then looked at the black haired wizard solemnly: ”tell me, what can I do for you?”
Not ”what you can help”, but ”what you need to help”.
That's the difference in one sentence.
”I really need you to do me a little favor,” Lauren said with a smile. ”It's very simple. Let the troops of Shenlin Castle exercise restraint; no matter what happens, don't start a conflict or do anything to the ancient wood forest.”
”Didn't I just tell you about Shenlin castle's army? I've advised my father. Lottel's army has all withdrawn to their respective stations, and it's impossible to return in a short time...”
”No, I'm not just talking about lottel's army.” Loren suddenly interrupted him:
”But all the troops in Shenlin Castle must not act rashly!”
Lu Wen was stunned, and his expression finally became serious: ”you mean, the emperor of the heavenly palace may...”
”Don't worry too much, just in case.” the black haired wizard waved his hand and dispelled Lu Wen's concerns: ”maybe I just think too much. In short... It's always good to be on guard; no matter how cautious it is when it comes to diplomatic relations.”
Although Eckhardt II gave himself full power to represent the Empire and promised never to interfere, no one is sure whether he would change his mind halfway.
Or... It was a lie from the beginning, a means to confuse himself and Brandon, and the Ancient Wood Forest Elves.
Anyway, it's always good to be on guard - up to now, ”surprises” and all kinds of accidents are still what Lauren hates most.
”I see. I'll keep an eye on Shenlin castle. If an imperial Legion enters the country, my father should be able to stop it a little.” gritting his teeth, Lu Wen nodded solemnly: ”if I'm really helpless, I'll let Aaron inform me in advance.”
”In addition... Although I can't enter the ancient wood forest, I have arranged people outside; if necessary, I'll try to get a signal to pick you up at any time.”
”Even if you let me rush into the morning star forest and light the cloud canopy trees they settled with a fire to take you away, I will never frown.”
Loren paused slightly and stared at the eyes that didn't change color on Lu Wen's face.
”Thank you.”
”It's all right.” this time, Lu Wen waved his hand: ”by the way, do you remember Leia?”
”The war dancer fairy in the morning star forest... Well... Of course I remember.” the black haired wizard raised his eyebrows: ”what's the matter?”
”Nothing, but she came about six months ago and asked where you had been; I told her that you are now the Duke of Byrne, and you can hardly come unless you are surprised.” Luwen said casually.
”Oh, and then?”
”Then she left - as if she had come to ask about it.” the count of shenlinbao shrugged, took up a glass of wine and handed it to Loren: ”I also told her that you are probably married. If you marry your female relative in your hometown, you may even have children... Alas, are you married?”
”Poof ---!!”
