At 4:30 pm, in the officer's restaurant of the Boldro's schooner "The Wrath of Mananen", Ryan gave Federmond the opportunity in person: "We are not giving these gifts to him for free. When we catch the rogue knights and the envoy behind the scenes, if there is really evidence that it was instructed by the Estalia, we can go directly to the main temple of Mirmidia in Magrit with weapons and go to Archbishop Giovanni or Lord Lorenzo to ask for an explanation!"

Isabella Giovanni, Archbishop of Mirmidia, the most powerful man in Estalia, a woman.

Lorenzo Marco, leader of the Flying Eagle Knights.

Both of these people have extremely powerful political energy in Estalia. Even the most powerful Duke of Magrit, Rubio, the Japanese-watcher, dared not mess with them. After all, more than half of the entire Estalia's army is the believers of Mirmidia.

Federmond frowned, he remained silent, and the face of the new Holy Grail Knight changed, no one knew why.

Olika sneered. On the one hand, the dark elves mocked humans for using this troublesome way to get their things back. On the other hand, they felt that the son of the Duke of Poldor in front of them had only this IQ, which was a bit unreasonable.

For the Dark Elves, they must spend endless blood, killing and conspiracy from the beginning of their growth, and even when they are adults, they cannot even slack off. The same is true for Olika, who has always tasted the eternal struggle and spent her life in murder and conspiracy until she becomes Ryan's maid...

The master is the most handsome and powerful! The dark elf thought happily.

Ryan understood a little why Boderick wanted to bring him with him.

As a Holy Grail Knight, Federmond's bravery and virtues are qualified.

[Biquge www.bequge.vip] But as a heir to the duke, Federmond's political skills and political sensitivity were not qualified. After a long expedition to the Holy Grail, Federmond became fond of using force and invoking the Knights' virtues to solve the problem.

Duke Boderick was not satisfied with this, and the embarrassing place happened to be here. Duke Boderick was not a Knight of the Holy Grail. Sometimes he was not very good at pointing in the words and deeds of Federmond.

So I'll help you take care of your son, right? Ryan thought so.

Forget it, there are many benefits to bringing the future heir of the duke. Ryan needs such a strong iron-kick. François is, and Federmond will be in the future. Moreover, the conditions given by Duke Boderick are indeed good.

"This is different from what I imagined. I thought we could start the investigation immediately after we arrived at Billy Bally. It seems not that simple now." Federmond could refute Boderick's guidance to him, because his father was not the Holy Grail Knight, but the person in front of him was not only the Holy Grail Knight, but also the God-Challenge champion of the fairy in the lake.

"This is the mortal world, the kingdom of mankind, we are the people of order, we have always ruled our people through faith and law. Similarly, since we want to climb Estalia, we must deal with the local nobles." Ryan took a sip of the imperial stout beer, and he continued: "Man is social, and we cannot play the fact of aggression under the banner of seeking rogue knights. What is the difference between us and the Noskas who believe in chaos?"

"But... we have not many clues at the moment." Federmond finally reluctantly accepted Ryan's opinion, but due to the stolen treasures of his family and the hatred of his ancestral grave being dug, he only calmed down for the time being: "If too much time is wasted, I am worried that the rogue knights will transfer the Trident of the Sea God."

"How did you determine the rogue knights are in the Principality of Bilbali?" Ryan continued.

Federmond began to talk about the whole story.

After the grave was stolen, Duke Boderick's first reaction was that the vampire army in Musilon in the north wanted to steal the Trident of the Sea God, so he sent troops to strictly guard various ports and the Mosilon epidemic prevention belt, inspected the travelers and passers-by, but did not find the Trident of the Sea God.

Just when Duke Boderick was at a loss, the sea god Mananen asked him to dream, saying that the person who stole the sea god trident was walking south. Duke Bordro immediately led the sea god knights to the south and finally caught a... serf in Berleon.

The serfs took the initiative to find Duke Boderick and wanted to flatter him. He said there was news about the scoundrel knight and used it to seek rewards. The duke who had no time to tortured the serf on the spot. The serf who was beaten to death was forcibly pried open his mouth. It turned out that the scoundrel knights had already planned that they took advantage of the chaotic political situation in Berleon and stationed here. The serf happened to hear their conversation when he was hunting in the mountains.

Several Estalia spent a lot of money to hire the group of rogue knights to steal the Trident of the Sea God and agreed that both parties would deliver the goods within the forest near the Principality of Bilbali.

This is what happened. The serf didn't know anything about anything else. Moreover, it had been a while since the incident. The rogue knights must have been approaching Billy Bally to prepare for delivery.

"So that's it. So we must take back the Trident of the Sea God from those rogue knights before delivery?" Veronica also felt the difficulty of the problem. He had to be very careful in conducting military operations in other countries. If it was not good, he would face the siege of the entire country.

"What if we find that the Trident of the Sea God has been traded by the rogue knights to the Estalia behind the scenes after we arrive in Billy Ballibaly?" Templar Alfred raised his own question.

"That must also be taken back from our Duke of Bordero's family artifact." Federmond's attitude towards this was concise.

"It shouldn't be so easy to deliver." In response, Ryan raised an objection, and he shook his head: "If the Estalias really intend to hide behind the scenes, then delivery must be very cautious, and in terms of Estalia's chaos... In short, when we arrive at Billy Bali, then see the situation. Federmond, is there any other news besides this?"

"No more." Federmond shook his head.

"Hmm..." Ryan picked up the intelligence on the table.

The Principality of Bilbali is mainly composed of three forces, namely Silva, Duke of Bilbali, the Merchant Union of Estalia, and the branch of the Knights of the Yanyang mentioned above.

Silva, Duke of Bilbali, has part of the army and navy of the Principality. This Principality is located in the north of Estalia and controls part of the coast. The land here is very desolate and cliffs stand, so the main income is to rely on maritime trade. As Duke of Bilbali, Silva has a powerful fleet to defend public security.

In addition, the Estalia merchant alliance also has a place here. In the more free southern country, people have to be more free and disorderly due to the threat of chaos and green skins, so the merchants have gained a certain position just like in Marinburg.

Then there is the branch of the Knights of the Empire. There are less than 60 knights from the Empire in total, but no one dares to underestimate them because there is a powerful country behind them.

"Karl Franz may be the leader who is best at using diplomatic means." Ryan pointed his finger on the map, and the count smiled: "It is precisely because of him that Estalia lacked a strong army that could be seen from beginning to end, because in Estalia, all the troops were eager to join the empire and serve the imperial emperors. Compared with the split Estalia, the powerful empire was obviously more attractive to the people here. The glitz and power of the empire are so eye-catching that a large number of high-quality populations flowed to the empire every year to serve Emperor Carl. This is the diplomacy of the 'imperial ministers' established by Emperor Carl, which is mainly aimed at the southern countries, and the empire can obtain a large number of people every year."

"Duke Billy Bali is a tyrannical monarch who is profit-oriented and only cares about his port. He doesn't care about the orc tribes that are rampant in the southern forests. The merchant alliance is tempted by money. They will only seek more wealth and open new routes. And under their instigation, the Estalias have had sea rights disputes and border frictions with us many times. These people will only hinder our investigation!" Federmond frowned: "In the end, there is the branch of the Knights of the Empire. They are too few, and I can't imagine what they can help us."

"The problem cannot be thought of this, Federmond." Ryan shook his head, first putting his finger on the port of the Principality of Bilbali.

"As you said, Silva, Duke of Billybali, is a tyrant, and this may be a disaster for the people, but for us, it is a matter of no need."

"I can't ask for it?" Federmond was a little confused.

"If you are a human, you have your own demands. Since Silva, Duke of Billybali, can ignore the orc tribes in the southern forests, as long as we find out his hobbies, he can also ignore our investigations or even send troops to the country to fight. Isn't this good news for us?" Ryan said slowly.

"That's right, that's true." Federmond nodded repeatedly.

"As for the Merchant Alliance, we don't have to worry about them making things difficult for us. On the contrary, these merchants will treat us as VIPs." Ryan continued.

"But these merchants always encouraged the nobles of Estalia to go to war with us in Brittania..." Federmond seemed to have caught something faintly.

"Yes, this is the merchant. The identity of the merchant is destined to flow with the interests. They abide by the basic order, but they long for enough chaos." Ryan continued: "It is not that they really want to start a war. Merchants just want to create chaos. Creating chaos means price fluctuations, and merchants are profitable. But as long as we make a gesture, that is, if we can't find the Trident of the Sea God, we will turn the table and cut off the business path. What are these merchants using to challenge us? Their guards? Mercenaries? Are you so confident about your skills and the Sea God Fleet behind us? Federmond? Mercenaries will not go to that point, and they are more weak than we imagined. If the situation is really tense to a certain extent, they will definitely stand up to help us."

"So that's it! I understand!" Federmond breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to Ryan's series of analysis, the eldest son of the duke had already thought: "Then what about those group of Yanyang Knights?"

"The Knights of the Flame Sun will be our allies, and we must know how to use this group of people." Ryan moved his finger along the trade route from Estalia to the Empire and moved to Tarabeheim, the headquarters of the Knights of the Flame Sun: "The Empire and Britannia have hundreds of years of alliances. We have been fighting side by side in the face of many enemies. The Knights of the Flame Sun also attach great importance to the spirit of the knights. In addition, I signed many alliances and cooperation terms with the Empire, so it should be no problem to communicate with them."

"The Yanyang Knights have been operating the trade routes between the Empire and Estalia for five hundred years. They have strong influence and recruitment channels in Estalia. At the same time, their peripheral personnel and even small fortresses are all major roads. If I am not wrong and look for the whereabouts of the rogue knights, perhaps these Yanyang Knights can provide us with more clues."

After saying that, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the chefs served a meal made with bread, cheese, bacon and fresh fish, accompanied by Bordeaux wine.

"His Excellency Ryan, I really admire your wisdom!" Federmond was much calmer after Ryan's series of analysis. He took the initiative to fill Ryan's wine glass with red wine: "With you and us this time, we will definitely be able to regain the Trident of the Sea God!"

"I'm not worried about these people now." Ryan still frowned: "However, my human compatriots say it is still abiding by some rules. What I am really worried about is... According to information, the orc tribes in Estalia have recently rampant and destroyed many villages."

"There will be a solution, Ryan, it's useless to think so much now." Veronica patted Ryan's hand: "We have an office in Magrit, and Ms. Melissa will help us."

"I remember Speaker Ms. Margarita was born in Estalia?" Lane suddenly remembered something.

"Magrit, Margarita, my dear, don't you understand?" Veronica smiled and said, "You can hear this name and you will know that she should be Estalia."

"I have never been very concerned about this kind of problem..." Ryan complained: "If you don't say anything else, Nord is called Ryan, Britania is called Leon, and Estalia is called Leo, but the meaning of these three words is all lion. Is it the person who calls the lion is from a country?"

"It's right that they're all humans." Alfred concludes the supper.

“Hahahaha~”

After dinner, Ryan and others returned to the cabin, and Alfred said goodbye to them: "Then... good friend, I'll go down."

"I wish you a wonderful night, Ah Fu." Ryan also said goodbye to Alfred, and then he opened the door of the room, and the count himself fell on the sofa bored, and the dark elf made black tea for him: "Master, please use tea."

“And Ms. Veronica.”

"Thank you." Veronica kicked off her high heels and sat on the bed naturally. The witch Jialan sarcastically said, "You really came to bring your son to Duke Boderick."

"Why isn't it?" Ryan signaled Olika to come over and let him hug him. The dark maid took off her shoes and obediently got into Ryan's arms.

"Your old nephew still needs to be exercised~ I am in my fifties, and I still look so immature about these things." Veronica rubbed her waist, and she always said something in front of Ryan.

"Old nephew...hahaha~" Ryan couldn't help laughing after hearing Veronica's words. What the hell is your nephew? Federmond is in his fifties and is only in his early thirties.

"By the way, Olika, Veronica, have you discussed it? Who will sleep on the sofa at night?" Ryan hugged Olika's soft body and smiled maliciously.
