Alan finally decided to accept the invitation of the Black Iron Castle and traveled to the Bloodstone Wastes a week later to sign a peace agreement with Ser Sirloin.

After bidding farewell to the envoys of the Black Iron Castle, Belmode secretly returned. The first thing he did when he returned to Storm City was to report to Eren on his investigation at Blackiron Castle. Belmode's spy information was very useful, and Alan could use it as a basis for deciding on some details and attitudes when he met with Sir Sharon.

"The Black Iron Castle has a history of more than 100 years, and has passed through the hands of five knights, and Sir Sirloin is the sixth lord, and the longest-reigning one."

In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Belmode reported: "Sir Sirloin himself is a knight of rank 16, and he is not necessarily outstanding in personal strength, but he is very good at business. The first president of the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce in Black Iron Castle was actually Sir Sharon, and it was later handed over to the current president, Cam, to take care of. Also under the rule of Sir Keep, the Black Iron Castle quickly amassed a great deal of wealth in just two decades, making the territory stronger and stronger. ”

"Of course, if it were just Sir Sharon, Black Iron Keep would not have been able to grow to its current size. If nothing else, Sir Maud of Storm City has had the idea of beating it more than once. In the end, Maud and Sirloin still chose to marry, because of Hagus's survival. ”

"Hagus?" The figure of the middle-aged man of the envoy group flashed in Allen's mind: "The leader and founder of the Black Cloud Knights? ”

"Yes, it's this Hagus." Belmode said in a deep voice: "Hagus already had the strength of level 17 when he founded the Knights, and it is said that he has begun to sprint to the level 20 mark over the years. If there are no accidents, his strength is at least around level 18 or 9. In terms of individual force, Hagus is strong enough to sweep through all the powerhouses of the entire Borderlands, including the boss. ”

Alan nodded and said, "If you look at the level alone, it's true. It's just that in a real battle, level is not the only criterion for victory or defeat, of course, that is based on the premise that the level gap is not large. ”

"Anyway, I'll be careful with this man, you go on."

"The next thing I heard was more interesting."

Belmode smiled meaningfully: "But I don't think it's an unusual thing for the boss, after all, you noble lords...... Hey. Let's get to the point, Sir Sirloin has two wives, the first wife, Suya, has been married to Sir for many years due to frail and sickly reasons, but has not come out. So Lord Sir married another wife, Melinda, who was Hagus's sister. ”

"Oh?"

"Before that, Hagus was just a martial artist. However, when Sir Sirloin was still a horse thief, Hagus had a close friendship with him. After marrying his sister to Sir, Hagus used this to enter the center of power in the Black Iron Castle. Add to that his great personal prowess, as well as the creation of the Black Cloud Knights. It can be said that Hagus's influence in the realm is gradually overpowering Sir Sirloin himself. ”

Alan said unexpectedly: "This is not good news, the master and slave are confused, and Sir Sirloin is not afraid of being taken over by Hagus?" ”

"Why aren't you afraid?" Belmode shook his head and smiled: "Sir Sirloin is afraid, otherwise he would not have cultivated a personal guard for all these years. The captain of his personal guard has been stationed in the city lord's mansion for many years, and Tucker, the leader of the guard, is regarded as the knight with the most potential to break through the level 20 mark in the Black Iron Castle after Hagus. If it weren't for this force in hand, I'm afraid that Hagus would have ousted Sir Sirloin from power long ago, right? ”

"In other words, the interior of the Black Iron Castle is not so united, which is noteworthy."

"Not only that, I also said something interesting." Belmode shrugged his shoulders and stopped selling off, saying, "Hagus and Melinda still have a leg secretly. Sir Sirloin had heard of this for a long time, but because of Hagus's high position, he could not be moved. So this green hat has been buckled on the poor knight's head for many years. ”

"What?" Alan was surprised: "Aren't Hagus and Melinda brother and sister?" ”

"Their relationship is just a one-sided statement by Hagus, and everyone knows that there is a lot of work to be done here, and the means are available. What's more, what about even siblings? It's not the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. Belmode laughed dryly: "The important thing is that it is rumored that Hagus and Melinda have their own son. If this is true, what do you think will happen in the future? ”

Alan thought for a moment and said, "Hagus doesn't have to come forward at all, he just needs to keep this son." And this son, at least on the surface, is the child of Sir Sirloin and Melinda, then he has the rightful right of inheritance. Well, Hegus only needs to eradicate those competitors for his own children, and finally assist him to sit in the position of lord of Black Iron Castle, which is not much different from sitting in that position himself. ”

"So...... I seem to know who that kid is. ”

"Oh? The boss is really well-informed. "This time it was Belmode's turn to be surprised.

Alan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just guessing, but it should be eight or nine." Not long ago, Hagus himself came as an envoy, and with him came a young man. He is Bill, the son of Sir Sharon, and if what you say is true, then this Bill should be the son of Hagus. However, judging by their attitudes, Bill did not know the truth. ”

"If I were Hagus, I wouldn't let him know the truth. The less he knew, the better it would be for Hagers. Belmode smiled.

"You're right." Alan patted him on the shoulder: "I've worked hard for you this time, so I'll let you go on vacation for a few days." Accompany Miss Kira, and if you are willing to be united, I can be your witness. ”

Belmode laughed, "It's a bit early to say this, and with our current situation, I don't have any intention of getting married." I think Kira is the same. ”

Alan smiled but said nothing.

A week passed quickly, and as scaffolding began to be erected at the construction site outside the city, Eren left Storm City with a team.

The meeting place with Sir Sharloin was set in Dick's lair, which, according to Hagus, was the place where the chaos of the Bloodstone Wastes ended and where the peaceful development of Storm City and Black Iron Keep began.

And now, as the initiating party, the people of the Black Iron Castle arrived at the meeting place three days ago.

Most of the stone houses in Dick's lair have survived, and the collapsed cellar later became a grave for the burial of the body. Traces of that day's battle can still be seen, as well as dark red blood stains that have become one with the sand and stones. In addition to the Black Cloud Knights, there were two hundred infantry on this trip to the Black Iron Castle. When the team arrived, they moved in to clean up the venue that would bring a major change to the frontier land, and prepare for it.

The day before Allen's departure, Sir Sirloin was late with his personal guards. Hagus arranged for Lord Sir to have a ventilated room, and as soon as Sir moved in, the personal guards immediately cordoned off a large area of the vicinity. Hagus just smiled and asked the Knights to stay away, so as not to have friction with the guards at such a juncture, and let outsiders see the joke.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, several screams came from Sharon's stone house. Then a woman covered in blood rushed out of the house, but it was taken by the guards. One of the guards drew his sword and stabbed the woman through the heart.

Hagus heard the sound and happened to see this scene. He frowned and shook his head, stepping forward. The two guards stepped forward, stood in front of Hagus with expressionless faces, and said, "My lord, it's late at night. The Baron has already slept, and I will talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Soldier, now I'll give you a chance, if you don't want to die, get out of the way." Hagus smiled coldly, these two level 10 guards didn't even have the qualifications to stand in the way in his eyes.

If he hadn't been taking care of it all these years, Hagus would have taken these guards a long time ago. These Sirloin dogs thought they had climbed a good master, and their eyes were above the top, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. It's not once or twice like this, but this time, Hagers is already angry.

There was an invisible killing intent on his body, and the huge sense of oppression made the two guards unbearable. At this time, a person walked out of the house and chuckled: "They also did what they were ordered to do, and they collided with the head of the regiment, and asked the adults not to care." ”

"Tucker." Hagus narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young guard commander in front of him.

Tucker is less than thirty, but he already has level 17 strength. He is tall and does not have the domineering oppression of Hagus, but he also has his own bearing. His tanned skin made him look as tight as iron, and with his deep silhouette and status, he became the dream girl of all the girls in the Black Iron Castle.

Even Hagers had to admit that such a promising young man was indeed worthy of appreciation. Unfortunately, the two were not on the same page, so Hagus didn't buy his account, and pointed to the female corpse on the ground and said, "This is the slave girl I just gave to Sir Sharon, should you explain to me why she has become a corpse now?" ”

Before Tucker could speak, a rough voice rang out from inside the stone house: "I made them kill them!" ”

There was a man in the room, a man who was even a little taller than Hagus. On the rugged face, a pair of eyes showed a fierce light. His hair was frosty white, but his body shape remained the same as that of a young man. Even because of the precipitation of the years, he naturally exudes a heavy breath. He was like a solid rock in the Blood Rock Wasteland, no matter how the wind and sand eroded, he still stood upright.

"Lord Baron." Tucker stepped aside and whispered.

This man, naturally, is the lord of the Black Iron Castle, Baron Sharon! R1058
