"You should stay in the Imperial Capital at this important moment, after all, the city guards in your hands are very important to us. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info That's why I decided to go in person. And there are some things that Frossaken needs to be handled by me personally to be reassured. There aren't many people we can really trust, if ......," said Duke Brydon, a little tired.

"If only Stowe could count on it. Count Raphael gritted his teeth and picked up his father's words.

Compared with the mediocre second son Bardo O'Bright, the talented third son Stoe has always had high hopes, and has already reached the standard of an eighth-level swordsman at a young age, which is already the best record among the younger generation of the Empire, except for the Templar Chief Martina, who is known as the Empire's first sword genius.

Stone, who was also named a genius like Martina, was a bright new star in the imperial capital, and his light was not even below that of Count Raphael. Countless forces in the imperial capital are extremely optimistic about the O'Brid family, who owns both Raphael and Stowee. In particular, after Count Raphael and Stowe were favored by the Emperor Rey III, almost everyone believed that the O'Bright family would surpass Franco O'Bright's peak during his lifetime and become the first family under the royal family.

However, what is surprising is that a year ago, Stowe fell out with the family over a trivial matter that seemed trivial to Raphael, and went to the remote town of Frossaken to become a lord one by one. According to the news transmitted there, this younger brother, who could have earned great glory for the family, became an out-and-out drunkard there, living a drunken life and dreaming of death every day.

Stowe's departure caused irreparable damage to the O'Brid family, leaving a huge void that no one could quickly fill, and in order to prevent the hard-won military power from leaking, the civilian Raphael had to take over the position of Imperial Defense Minister left by Stowe.

Originally, in the plan of the old Duke Brydon, Raphael and Stowe echoed each other, enough to contain the equally young and equally profound Imperial Marshal Sebastin. It was because of Stowe's willfulness that all the layouts he had worked so hard to lay down failed.

It's so uncompromising. Count Raphael secretly thought angrily that if he could rely on it, Stowe, who happened to be in Frossaken at this moment, would definitely be able to give the family a head start in this matter, and there would be no need for the old duke to go to the bitter cold land of the far north himself. Not to mention that after Stowe left, he worked hard to fill the vacancy for him, and who knows how hard it was? None of the two younger brothers was worry-free, and neither of them could share his worries and solve his problems.

"Don't mention the past, I believe that Stowe will figure it out one day. You better hurry up and prepare, I will enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty the Emperor......" Before Duke Bryden finished speaking, in the corner of the secret room, a strange light suddenly began to emit from the center of a complex magic array, glowing with a gold box engraved with magic arrays that looked to be some years old. After a flash of magic waves, a bright yellow note appeared in the golden box.

"It's ......" Brydon and Raphael were both stunned. This golden box is the "magic communication box", a treasure given by the founding emperor of the empire, Otto the Great, to Franco, the ancestor of the O'bright family. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor also has an identical box in his hand, through which Otto the Great and Franco can easily communicate without being snooped on by others.

The messages sent through the magic teleportation box are not even accessible to the Holy See's oracles. Legend has it that this is one of the treasures left by the goddess of magic on the continent of Eliad.

This pair of magic messengers fully demonstrates Otto the Great's great trust in Franco, and this kind of thing full of ancient magical civilizations is only such a unique pair even now, two thousand years later. Countless descendants have tried to imitate it, but the results have been regrettable, and the imitation has no problem transmitting information, but the secrecy is not so satisfactory.

Since the death of Otto the Great, this pair of magic communication boxes has not been used, and what happened to the one in the imperial city is unknown to outsiders, but this one of the O'red family has been kept in an extremely well-defended secret room.

What does it mean for the O'Bride family that the magic teleportation box, which has not been used for 2,000 years, is suddenly being used again?

Brydon and Raphael glanced at each other, crossed the magic circle and took out the note from the golden box, on which appeared the familiar handwriting of Rey III, and the words on the note were simple: "Let Raphael enter the palace secretly through the east gate." ”

"You can take a look at it too. After reading it, Brydon walked out of the magic circle and handed the note to Raphael, then sat on the bench and thought with his eyes closed.

"Isn't the eastern gate of the Imperial City sealed off for the construction of Port Royal?" muttered Raphael.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor must have received some rumors. Brydon said as he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Then what do you think His Majesty the Emperor has planned to summon me to the palace?" Although Raphael had a certain guess in his heart, he still humbly asked his father for advice. In front of these old fritters who have been rolling in the political arena for decades, Raphael thinks that he is still quite inferior in some places.

"How can the Emperor's mind be guessed at will?" said Duke Brydon without a hint, "but you have to remember one thing, if the Emperor wants you to go to Frossaken, you must try to control the power of the Imperial Capital Defense, and if you can't do it, let Bardo replace you for the time being." ”

"Bardo, is he okay?" Raphael really didn't have much faith in this mediocre brother.

"There is really no way to do it, and we can't give up the military power that we have mastered so hard because of this. If we didn't have military power, so many years of hard work would have come to naught. "The Duke of Brydon is old, and if Stowe had been there, everything would have gone much better.

"Then if you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave at once. Rafael said.

"Well, go ahead, I'm relieved that you're doing something. Duke Brydon nodded, and couldn't help but remind, "Keep a low profile." If possible, it would be best to get His Majesty to agree to you taking the Snow Wolf Knights with you. ”

"Snow Wolf Knights?" Raphael, who had already turned around and was about to leave, froze when he heard this, the Snow Wolf Knights were the patriarch's personal guard, and now his father was willing to hand over the most elite men and horses of this family to him?

"That's right, it's time to familiarize yourself with the Order, and I'm sure it will be of great help to you in this event. The Duke of Brydon immediately confirmed Raphael's guess and said proudly.

He believed that Raphael would be shocked when he really came into contact with this private army that he had spent so much effort to build, and this army that seemed ordinary to the outside world would definitely surprise everyone who underestimated it.
