Chapter 209

In the afternoon, the crystal flower house of Rose Manor.

Sylvia sat leisurely on the rattan chair, picked up the exquisite silver coffee cup on the round table, took a sip gently, quietly experienced the bitter and mellow charm, and asked Victor after a moment: "do you know why Prince Edward visited blackcastle?"

Victor put down his silver spoon and sighed, "I never thought I could be compared with the prince of Gambis."

"Very wise."

Sylvia glanced admiringly at her lover. Vick is only 21 years old for many years. He has ability and backing. He is not only a popular shooter of the silver class, but also a powerful Viscount of Fengyi. In terms of the blood of the moon elves, Victor is still a teenager, but he is not proud of his youth at all. Instead, he is more like a mature, sophisticated and wise lord. This is what Sylvia appreciates and puzzles.

Sylvia doesn't know that Victor is a man of two generations. He is much older than her. He is naturally young and frivolous, but it's not worth showing. For example, he is thinking at this time: how can he compare me with a little boy?!

There is nothing that can discern other people's thoughts. Sylvia doesn't understand Victor's real thoughts, but she doesn't want him to belittle himself and lose the opportunity to go further. In order to keep Victor's spirit and fulfill her long cherished wish, Sylvia said, "that's the truth. Edward and Soren are indeed hostages!"

"Is it because of you?"

Victor tasted a hot coffee with snow sugar and milk. The sweetness was just right. He was very satisfied with the mellow and smooth taste, so he wanted to make a cup for Sylvia, but he was refused.

"I like the original flavor of coffee."

Sylvia smiled and said, "don't think I'm too strong. I'm just a person, with both hands and invincible enemies. I also need delicious food, beautiful clothes, comfortable beds and... Intimate lovers." With that, a beautiful white jade foot came from under the round table. Victor's heart swung. He was just ready to hold it in his hand, but he caught nothing. Seeing Victor's embarrassment of being molested, Sylvia giggled for a moment and said: "The power of the Golden Knight is limited. It will be injured or even killed when it meets a powerful Orc leader. Even in the face of weak opponents, it may be helpless. In the history of the knight, there is such an interesting thing that a small mountain village was attacked by a ferocious badger when the Rand empire was in its heyday. It happened that a Golden Knight of the Empire passed by and was pleaded by the villagers Next, he decided to get rid of the ferocious animal. As a result, he was busy for two months and got nothing. Finally, he mobilized 3000 soldiers to surround the mountain forest, and then he caught the ferocious badger. Instead of killing the cunning ferocious badger, the Golden Knight took it to the imperial capital and left an aphorism. Do you know who he is? "

"When you have nothing to do, there are vassals! Emperor Rand III, Dalan nivist!"

"That's right! This maxim is regarded as a classic by the Lord. It tells us that we should respect the vassals, and the influence of the Golden Knight is far more important than force!"

Sylvia nodded slightly and continued: "Shortly after I stepped into the peak field, Ryan secretly visited our York family. He reached a secret agreement with the old Duke of the previous generation, that is, the grandfather of enbisser. Gambis has been bearing the war losses of Dodo, and the population size has become unbearable. In order to alleviate domestic contradictions, the Auguste family formulated a plan to annex dodo The plan of the Dor kingdom. Ryan knew that I was the flame gold knight and that the York family would expand. He asked the old lord and me to keep my promotion secret, because the time to implement the annexation plan was only when the Sassanians were tripped by the orcs. Ryan promised to give us three times the territory of the York family. Finally, we agreed. "

The secret history of Gambis and York family made Victor's gossip burning. He asked with interest, "why should you keep your promotion secret? Is it a backhand?"

"This is only one aspect. The most important reason is my influence."

Sylvia sighed and said: "The old Baron was old and frail, and died within two years. I took over the family. It coincided with the migration of forest people and horses. Ryan led the Royal Army westward to prevent the forest people and horses from attacking Gambis. At this time, the battle of Whitewater castle took place, and all the eleven peak Knights of the Sassanian Empire went out to invade dodo on a large scale. Whitewater fortress was in danger. Once Whitewater fortress was lost, Dodo was over , when Ryan couldn't get away, the Marquis of goron and I had to support the kingdom of dodo. "

At this point, Sylvia thought for a long time before she continued: "Dear, I never thought that the Sassanian could unify the human kingdom. The Sassanian empire was forcibly combined by the shining knights. They not only had to resist the orcs in the northern wilderness, but also had many internal contradictions. As far as the empire is concerned, it is not that the more top knights, the better. The Sassanian royal family has only three top knights. The other eight princes have their own ideas, but they are incredible Yes, they actually reached an agreement at that critical moment! It was almost impossible, but it happened. "

"And then?" Asked Victor, his eyes shining.

Sylvia gave him a charming look and said angrily: "What else can we do? Now, there are few life and death duels between the Golden Knights. Under the witness of the church, the two sides had a one-on-one contest. I won three top knights in a row and made the Sassanians bow down. The Golden Knights no longer participated in the battle of Whitewater castle, Whitewater fortress was held, and my identity as a divine knight was passed on."

"Brilliant war achievements! I can imagine how the Lords spread your reputation. Then you have a great influence." Victor shook his head and exclaimed.

"What's the use of prestige? The secret agreement between the Augusts and US has been exposed before it has begun."

Sylvia couldn't laugh or cry and said helplessly, "it's true that the influence is huge, but it's my influence that leads to the later things."

"The dodos knew that I was a divine knight, but they kept it secret. Of course, they understood Gambis's intention. While they flattered me and advocated my reputation, they tried hard to win over the neville people. Out of fear and in order to win benefits from both sides, the poor Neville stood on dodo's side. Ryan's plan to go north ran aground and Gambis adjusted his diplomatic strategy At that time, the most worried thing of the August family happened. "

"King dodo sent people to publicize my reputation in Gambis. The vassal lords of the family were jubilant, and our neighbors were restless. Many small families took refuge one after another, and the momentum became stronger and stronger, and gradually got out of control. This caused the uneasiness of another large family in the East. With their promotion, Ryan began to stabilize the East. You can see what happened later I see. "

Victor nodded silently. Since then, Ryan died in the war, the political situation in Gambis was fragmented, and the ability of the northern expedition was lost. The York family moved westward to the hills, trapped in a corner, and the family's accumulation was exhausted.

Victor also noticed that Sylvia's tone was somewhat melancholy and angry. He couldn't help asking, "you seem a little unwilling? Then why didn't you control the situation?"

"Control? Why control? The secret agreement has been invalidated. What reason do I have to refuse the refuge of other small families?" Sylvia shook her head with a smile and said, "as a king, Ryan must maintain the authority of the royal family. As the leader of the York family, I must safeguard the interests of the family. Honey, while we lead the family, the members of the family are also promoting us, which is the characteristic of feudalism."

"Ryan came to see me and made a promise, but in essence, he still wanted to forcibly dismember our York family. In this case, there was no trust at all. Hum! Although neowest was a ferocious legendary knight, his chance of winning the battle with me was less than 30%. But at that time, I could only choose to stand idly by." Sylvia said proudly.

Victor stirred the coffee in the cup with a silver spoon and said in a deep voice, "it's doubtful that the Sassanian launched the battle of Whitewater castle!"

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and said: "After Ryan died, I realized that there was a figure in the Sassanian Empire who led all this. He or they had extremely strong intelligence ability, and they calculated everyone, including me. I thought for three days before I decided to move west to Renma hill. Although it is remote, I can sit and watch the situation change, rather than become someone else's chess for no reason Son. "

Sylvia looked at Victor and said, "I told you about the rumor that the Sassanians proposed to Roland. Most of Austin's invasion of Randall's collar is also related to this matter. The dodos are a little anxious and will inevitably struggle."

Then Sylvia discussed her judgment with victor in detail and said with a smile: "Under the guise of Duke Eriksson, the Dodo people show their kindness to me. They also try to buy our York family with the stone mines in the north. If you are killed by Austin, it is just in line with the layout of Dodo people. Unfortunately, they didn't expect you to be a popular shooter of the silver class, let alone that we don't need the stone mines at all."

Victor smiled and shook his head. "That is to say, I was involved?"

"Congratulations, my dear. You're already in the chess game. Ordinary little lords don't even have the qualification to know the inside story." Sylvia covered her mouth and smiled softly. There was an inexplicable luster in her blue eyes. She whispered, "this game has just begun. Who loses and who wins is not sure."
