Chapter 771 Secret News
His Highness Randall said it would do his best. He said that leaving Dane alone on the road is not a false threat. Once such a thing happens, Dane does not think he can live back to the glorious human kingdom.
Facing His Highness Randall's harsh warning, Dane nodded and said with apologizing: "Your Highness, you are right. According to the practice of wild exploration, there can only be one leader in the team. My decision to make decisions without authorization may endanger the safety of the team. You have the right to exile me... I promise you that I will never make any decisions in the future! But I think it is necessary to explain to Lord Nelson and others the special features of the elves to the Randall family."
The core members of the Randall Expeditionary Force obeyed the Lord's words, but when they learned that the elves would try their best to abduct their loyal masters, they would probably beg Victor as hard as possible to avoid contact with the elves like Pastor Dane.
Dane used a roundabout approach to show Victor that his own actions were in good faith, and at least he quietly dealt with the halfling scouts, which would help Victor and his followers stay united. If he informed Nelson and others of his concerns in advance, they would definitely support Dane's point of view and thus disagree with Victor.
As an "outsider", Dane took the blame and did dirty work, and wanted to quietly cut off the potential connection between His Highness Randall and the Elf Clan. However, facing the reproach of the Sword Saint of the Storm, his posture and tone showed humility and respect, and his eyes were unsteady. Victor could see an unshakable will in his eyes. The priest realized that his ability was not enough to control the potential dangerous situation, and his weight in His Highness Randall's mind was not qualified to make suggestions, so he planned to join forces with the members of the Randall family to try his best to prevent His Highness Randall from getting in touch with the Elf Clan.
He was going to tell Nelson about the cause and effect of the matter, not just a statement. He really decided to do so, even if he was exiled.
Dane gave Victor the impression that he was sleek and ambitious, more like a court minister than a priest, but his willingness to do so changed Victor's view of him. Victor couldn't help but think of the old Marquis of the Pastor Bastern, the former former Palace Castle, who was in power, had resisted Sylvia's pressure and paid the price of his life. In order to safeguard the interests of the Pastor Bastern, Dane was to safeguard the interests of the church.
It turns out that people with beliefs are not easy to deal with... Victor was secretly funny. He also hated the trouble that the elves might bring to him, but there was no need to explain to Dane, and asked, "Why didn't you tell Nelson and the others before?"
The priest leaned over and explained sincerely: "To be honest, I don't understand their views on the elves. I am worried that your highness's followers will tell your Highness about my plan to destroy the halfling scout. After all, Lord Nelson and Mrs. Charlotte are loyal to you. If your Highness is abducted by the elves and become the elves emperor, they will probably bring them with you. After all, they are not high-level knights with a strong will. Assuming that Lord Trisley is in this team, I will definitely discuss it with her."
"Of course, Your Highness's eyes are like a torch, and my little trick is not worth mentioning in your eyes. Since Your Highness has seen through my intentions, I can only hope that Lord Nelson and Mrs. Charlotte can take the overall situation into consideration and try to persuade Your Highness as much as possible." He added.
"Whatever you do, as long as you stop trying to deceive me." Victor nodded, looked at the grassland fox that was running back to the camp, and asked curiously: "By the way, how do you know that the fox can find the halfling thief?"
Seeing His Highness Randall's kind attitude, Daine finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a secret from more than 40 years ago. You know that halflings are used to relying on humans, barbarians and elves. Because ancient wizards launched a blood sacrifice war, halflings who lived in human city-states were either killed by wizards or fled. Until now, the kingdoms have almost no trace of halflings, but they are not completely missing... The great lord of the Borui Kingdom often sent elite knight teams to sneak into the Gaogen barbarian country in the southern continent to carry out the mission of reconnaissance, destruction, capture barbarians and rescue human captives. They not only captured barbarians, but also caught a small number of halflings."
"The halfling is cute, good at singing and dancing, and is good at cooking and hand-crafting, which is particularly likable. Lord Borui will keep the halfling at home as an eunuch, but few people know that the halfling is proficient in theft tricks."
In order to repair the relationship with His Highness Randall, Todd roguely said: "More than 40 years ago, the Duke of Gremok of the Kingdom of Bori lost a strange thing passed down from the age of the Gods' Chosen. The guardian of the Golden Knight of the Gremok family claimed to the church that the Peter family sent halfling thieves to steal the ancient strange thing from their family."
Hearing this, Victor was shocked and asked: "Gremok...Isn't that the family of His Highness Andre Christ, the Golden Knight? What ancient magical thing did they lose and actually prove to the church that the Peter family sent halflings to theft?"
Daine paused and shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the lost strange thing in the Gremok family is a mitrish wine glass made by ancient wizards. There are rumors that the strange thing wine glass can help the knights of the Gremok family to advance to the golden rank, but the Gremok family has never admitted it. However, since this family with an ancient surname was promoted to the Grand Duke of the Bori Kingdom, almost every generation of family guardians have been gold knights, and two gold knights have appeared at the same time. For example, Andre and his brother have been promoted to the golden rank one after another."
"Misins wine glass?" Victor frowned thoughtfully. His interest in ancient strange objects was mainly limited to elemental rune crystals.
"Yes, I listened to the conversation between Pope Mian and Mr. Pero, so what they said." Dane nodded and continued: "The Gremok family negotiated with the previous generation of Duke Peter, but the Peter family refused to admit that there was any burglary. In the event of no success, the Grand Duke Gremok had to ask the Holy See for mediation. But the Peter family still refused to admit that they had stole the wine glass of strange objects. The guardian of the Gremok family forced out the halfling thieves of the Peter family in front of the Archbishop of the Cardinal and the Executive Officer of the Judiciary. "
"The half-ling thief told him that he went to Gremok's house to steal the wine glass of strange objects. Only when the evidence was there was evidence was there."
Dane said with satisfaction: "I have also heard of this secret. Imosen happened to have a grassland fox. His tent has never been visited by thieves. I wanted to try whether the old fox can pull out the halfling thieves in the camp, but it did not expect it to succeed."
"So that's the case... Let's go, let's go back to the camp." Victor nodded and asked casually as he walked: "I heard that Alonso Peter is the brother of the contemporary Grand Duke of Peter. He later disappeared in the raid of the Gorgen barbarians. His fiancée Miss Ally Gia Wimbledon married Duke Peter?"
Pastor Dane was half a shoulder behind Victor, and said: "Alonso's disappearance is related to the halfling theft, as well as Ally Gia... Your Highness, you may not know that Alonso and the Grand Duke Peter are actually half-brothers. Alonso is the eldest son of Peter's old Duke and Duchess. Now Peter's Grand Duke is the Golden Knight of the Gremok family and the aunt of Alonso, who is the child born to the youngest sister of Peter's old Duke. Alonso's aunt gave birth to the descendants of the Golden Knight as an intern knight, cut off the road to the knight and died very early. The Duke Peter treated his sister and Gremok's children as the second son of the family to raise them."
"In fact, Alonso and this generation of Duke Peter are cousins, but their knight bloodlines are completely different. Alonso Peter was promoted to a junior knight when he was 22 years old. Duke Peter, who was half a year younger than him, had already been a senior knight and could be promoted to a Silver Knight at any time."
"I guess Alonso was under great pressure at that time, but his beautiful fiancee, Ally Giya. Miss Wimbledon seemed to be in love with his cousin and was lukewarm to Alonso. Therefore, Alonso would hide his old duke and let his half-ling servant steal the wine glass of the Peter family's strange objects, causing great trouble. Because of this, Alonso was assigned to the Knights' squad by the Peter family at a young age to carry out a particularly dangerous infiltration mission, and then he disappeared in the South Continent. His younger brother Acresil Peter became the first heir to the Peter family and married the beautiful moon elf blood noble daughter Ally Giya as his wife."
This rumor is related to Raymond Peter and Victor, and he was interested in learning more about the inside story. He said jokingly: "So, the Grand Duke Peter and Andre are half-brothers, with the blood of the Gremok family flowing in their bodies? If that strange wine glass can increase the chances of Gremok being promoted to the Golden Knight, I think Alonso was deceived by Acresil, Peter and Elliegia. Otherwise, the Gremok family lost the strange wine glass, so how could they find the Peter family on their heads? They still knew that they were half-body.
The thief took action and used the old fox to force the half-length thief out... It is not easy for the descendants of the Golden Knight to be promoted to the Golden Level. Acresier Peter used Gremok's strange wine glass to be promoted to the Golden Knight. The church came forward to investigate the matter, and the people and stolen goods were all captured. The old Duke Peter had no choice but to let the eldest son of the Bronze Knight perform a dangerous spy mission. Now, the blood descendants of the Gremok family take over the power of the Peter family, which looks like a conspiracy no matter how they look."
Dane shrugged and said, "Only the parties involved know the specific inside story, we can guess it privately... However, I think the core members of the Peter family are also inseparable from this matter. After all, they need the Golden Knight Guardian, otherwise why did the previous generation of Duke Peter sacrifice his youngest sister? It's not for the special effect of Gremok's bloodline and the strange wine glass?"
Dane was stunned when he heard this and said, "Your Highness, how can I get involved in such a thing?"
Victor patted Dane on the shoulder and laughed: "After we go back, are you still afraid that you are not qualified? I can tell you that it is not as simple as a coincidence that two half-ling scouts can meet us on the prairie. If I guess correctly, it is Bell who led them... As for Bell, why do you think that Lord Miller loves her very much, and why should I bring her with me?"
