The Shire is a small town of more than 200 families on the edge of Freljord, and although it is not a small number of people, it is very calm here, because the people here are hungry and have no desire to make trouble.

The richest man in the town was the mayor Smeagogall, who owned the most fertile land in the town, and he had five oxen and a maid, and a large house.

Baggins is an ordinary farmer in Shire, and he couldn't be more ordinary. He had sun-tanned skin that had turned copper, rough skin, and deep wrinkles. His father had always lived in the Shire, and the accumulation of several generations over the years had given him a little wealth, he had a simple but objective house, and a large yard in which his mute wife had three hens.

A field east of town belongs to Baggins, and it's planting season, and Baggins has just finished planting all the seedlings. He was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and he was exhausted from the labor, so he sat under the only tree on the edge of the field as soon as he was done.

Baggins held a hoe in his hand, the handle of the hoe was new wood, so the surface was not very smooth, and there were some thorns that trees are used to. He quietly looked at his land, his field here is actually very good, there is a small river next to it, although the river is muddy, but compared to other places, the land here is much wetter, and it can grow more and better food. However, this bit of food is still not enough, and if you remove it and give it to the mayor, the rest can only be fed.

This year's harvest was better than usual, but it only meant that he had to spend the winter in hunger like in previous years. In fact, he still has no food in store this year, and he is silently looking forward to a good harvest next year. This year his son will be an adult, and it will take a lot of money to get a wife. Baggins has been saving up this fee since the birth of his son, and more than ten years have passed, barely enough.

With some reluctance, Baggins put down his hoe, picked up the broken kettle he had brought, and took a sip of the water. The hoe was a brand new farming tool from the town, made of an unknown metal. It was said to have been given free of charge by the new lord of the city, and Baggins didn't know how much such a hoe was worth, but he knew that it was faster and less laborious to plow the fields.

Speaking of the new city lord, Baggins, who has lived in the Shire for most of his life, has never seen it. Although Freljord had been a city lord before, he didn't feel anything at that time. But now, Baggins began praying to the goddess of the forest every night, hoping that the lord of the city would not die soon.

A city lord who can distribute seeds and farming tools for free is definitely a good city lord, this is Baggins's superficial understanding. A shadow covered him, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with his dirty hand, and found that a very neatly dressed, very clean guy, who looked like a big man standing in front of him. Baggins hurriedly put down the kettle, the first time he saw this kind of person, Baggins felt that the other party was more imposing than the mayor of the town, it should be from the city, Baggins lowered his head a little frightened.

"Is this the Charles?" The other party's pronunciation was strange, and Baggins had heard the mayor's youngest son use this strange pronunciation, but the young master was still very proud, and in fact Baggins and his friends laughed at this strange pronunciation for a whole month.

Maybe the mayor's youngest son really spoke Demacia? Thinking of this, Baggins shrunk his neck and nodded, pulling his tongue and trying to get closer to the other party's pronunciation: "Master, this is Shire Town." ”

"Are you a tenant here? Is this land yours? The other asked, still in a hard-to-understand pronunciation.

"Yes." The other party asked a lot of questions, and after he handed him a few gold coins, Baggins still felt like he was in a dream. He picked up the gold coin in his hand and bit it, and the wonderful taste in his mouth proved that it was not a hallucination. Is there really a pie in the world? Baggins stared blankly at the gold coin, and then with a cleverness, he immediately put the gold in his pocket. After thinking about it, Baggins felt unsafe again, he held the gold coins through his clothes, and suddenly ran away, he wanted to go home and hide the gold coins immediately!

In addition to Baggins, many ordinary residents of Freljord have encountered such good things. However, in the eyes of many officials who have some power, Liu Yu's whereabouts make them tremble. Especially after the mayor of a town who resold all the seeds and farming tools distributed by Liu Yu to merchants other than Freljord was ordered by Liu Yu to be beheaded in public, the entire Freljord was suddenly cleared.

####################################################

Seeing the magnificent walls of the royal capital again, Sarestel felt a sense of security that he had never felt before. This is where he has lived for more than a decade, with his parents in it, and here he has a huge amount of energy, which is very different from that of Freljord.

On the way back, Salestel had already carefully instructed his companions not to reveal anything about the Ruilins monuments. Although the journey in Freljord was not smooth, and even went through nine deaths, Salestel still had some gains. He knew that as long as he told his father about Reelins, he would be taken seriously.

However, telling his father about it did not benefit him the most. Sarestel already knew that his cheap uncle was very capable in Freljord, and according to the dead ghost's grandfather's love for that illegitimate child, maybe there would be some "passing on the younger brother but not the son" and the like, and snatching the title of "Duke of Windsor" from his hands!

Although excluded from the circle of top elites, Salestel always had his own circle, and he also got the news that behind his cheap uncle Brett stood the great prince of Demacia, the future first heir to the throne, Gavin. Although Sarestel and the second prince Jiawu also have a relationship, the power of the second prince cannot be compared with the eldest prince at all, and without the support of the eldest prince Jiawen, he is not sure to bring down Liu Yu at all. However, the eldest prince had no reason to help himself at all, his only advantage was his father's love, but this advantage was simply dispensable in the eyes of the royal family. He can give the benefits to the eldest prince, and Liu Yu can also give it. Therefore, it is still necessary to gamble.

In the kingdom of Demacia, the only thing that can suppress the royal family is divine power! Although there is no specific direct land, the influence of the Cult of Deities can even surpass that of the king in many cases. At the same time, the Cult of Nature, which has the armed forces of priests and paladins, has a force that cannot be underestimated.

The Cult of Deity worships the goddess of the forest, who is in charge of the harvest and hunting, and the goddess of the forest has the strongest sense of territory. Now in the realm of the forest goddess, there is a mysterious city entrenched in the goblins of the atheist race...... The Cult of Deism will definitely take this issue seriously, and will send people from the Inquisition to judge heretics.

After all, that mysterious city is under the land of Freljord, and no matter how much you check, you will find Brett as Lord of Freljord. Maybe Brett didn't have any contact with the goblins, but ...... What if there is no contact? Can't you let them have it yourself? The barren land of Freljord did not produce much at all, and the alien races such as goblins and giants lived in that city, and it was impossible for them to supply their own food, so it was best to write from here. The group of people in the Nature God Sect are a group of crazy people, and they don't care whether Liu Yu is the disciple of the Great Prince or the heir of the Duke of Windsor. Once they find out that Brett has a connection with the alien race, they will definitely track it down to the end, and no one will give face.

Back at the Duke's Palace, where the Duke of Windsor was not there, Salestelle went to find his mother first. Originally, the afternoon was the busiest time for noble ladies, but Sarestel was not worried at all about not finding her mother, because after his mother Vises failed to try to break into the circle of the top noblewomen in the kingdom, the arrogance of being a duchess made her reserved not to attend the gathering of noblewomen of the lower ranks, and over time, she was rarely invited, and she really became one of the few noble ladies in the royal capital who did not attend the tea party.

Seeing the sons and daughters of Salestel and Ofebelline, the Duchess of Windsor, Vises, found that both of them had lost a lot of weight, which made her very distressed, and she hurriedly asked Ren to set up the table, and asked the cook to add a few more dishes that they liked to eat.

There was a lot of dust all the way, and there was some fright in the middle, and it had been a long time since she had eaten the food at home, and Ofebelin threw away the etiquette she didn't like in the first place, and gobbled it up. Sarestel had better self-control, and there was nothing wrong with him except for eating a little faster.

Vises didn't stop her daughter's rudeness, she only felt distressed. I didn't want them to go to Freljord, that place is so poor, wouldn't it be a sin for your own children to go? "Sal, Orin, eat more and drink some soup."

After dinner, Wei Xies listened to her daughter's complaints, frowned from time to time, and when her anger came up, she scolded the "Britt" who didn't know whether to live or die. Visceth finished coaxing Opherbelin and turned her gaze to her son. Although she doted on her daughter, in Versace's heart, Ofebelin was definitely not as important as Salestelle. She could see that Salestel should have a lot to say to her when he came back, such as whether he found out that Brett was a threat or not. So let the servant step aside, and Vises began to talk to Salestelle, there was no estrangement between mother and son, and there were very few secrets, and now the two of them did not need to hide what they were talking about, so they spoke very directly.

"How's going on Freljord's side?"

"Freljord's side is still poor, but Brett is in full power. Although he doesn't have any masters, if we assassinate him directly, it is easy to break the rules. Now that he is also a serious viscount of the kingdom, evidence has been discovered, and it will only be us who are unlucky. ”

Hearing Salestel say this, Vises smiled lightly, and her delicate makeup made people not see the slightest kindness commensurate with her beauty: "As long as he is dead, I am sure that others will not be held accountable." Who would take a dead person to heart and then go after a living person? ”

Mother, you are just doing things too directly, and this kind of direct killing of nobles is simply against the rules that the magnates silently abide by. Salestel felt a little helpless, he was consciously noble-born, he had been educated by the nobility since he was a child, and he was not inferior to any nobleman. He wanted to blend in with the real aristocratic circle and marry a real aristocratic wife. Seeing that his mother didn't want to give up her simple and crude plan, he had no choice but to say what he thought and told him about the plan to frame Liu Yu with a dungeon.

"Do you need to go through the trouble?" Wei Xie Si was a little disliked, although this method could also kill Liu Yu, but it was too troublesome. It will take a long time just to lay out the pre-layout, and you still have to owe favors. And the chances of success are not necessarily better than directly sending someone to assassinate yourself.

Salestelle sighed and said, "Mother, this is the only way to deprive Brett of the inheritance of the title of 'Duke of Windsor' forever......"

Vises was silent, and as a woman who was often involved in power struggles, she quickly figured out the difference. Now, the only thing that could get the most out of her eyes was the one that Sarestel had just said. In this world, it is not clear to anyone who is involved in such a thing as religion. If Liu Yu is found out to have a connection with a foreign race by the Nature God Cult, then it is logical for the kingdom and the Duke's Mansion to abandon him for the sake of stability, and at that time, not only will he not be the heir of the Duke of Windsor, but even the current fief Freljord will be transferred to the name of the Duke of Windsor according to the inheritance.

Thinking of this, Visceth's gaze became vicious, she nodded to Salestelle, looking at her wonderful son, she showed a hint of relief, "Your method is very good, I'm glad that you can be more thoughtful than I thought about now, let's start next......" Visce's face was more contrived, and she said words with strong malice in an elegant manner.

"Yes, Brett will definitely be ruined in the end." Salestel smiled, and with his mother's full support, the odds of his plan succeeding were much higher.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. However, the two who planned carefully did not find that unlike the cold calculations on the side of Salestelle, the Duke of Windsor was at the moment in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he served, and was seriously discussing national affairs with his close friends.

Recently, the grain reserves of the Kingdom of Demacia have skyrocketed, and the three surrounding countries of Piltover, Noxus and Zaun have begun to worry about their own situation, and the combined strength of their armies is better than that of Demacia, although the cohesion is not strong because of the alliance of the three countries, but with their numbers, Demacia will inevitably lose its vitality if it wants to win the war.

Recently, His Majesty Florin's physical condition is worrying, but the heir of the kingdom has not yet been determined, although the Duke of Windsor has not held an important position because of his own ability, but his father's connections have made him very well-informed, he has recently received definite news, the spies of the three kingdoms have been launched, and they are trying to get advantage in this internal battle in the kingdom, and they will try to weaken the kingdom.
