Chapter 224 The Crotch Knight (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)

Rett met Hogus's gaze, shrugged and said, "I don't know which white hat you are talking about, but the person Riley met a while ago, just call him the white hat."

Horgus's face showed a look of surprise, and he said with a smile: "Well, that's really destined..."

Rett noticed something was wrong, it seems... the third prince and the white hat knew each other?

So he asked: "Does the white hat have another identity? Could it be someone from the palace?"

"That's not true." Hogus shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Well... I wonder if Earl Leiter has heard of Karina?"

is a familiar name. Leiter recalled that when he was promoted to Earl, the Blue Diamond Grand Duke Augustus had mentioned this name when he came to his territory and presented him with a finely drawn map, so he replied thoughtfully: "It seems...it is a water system The great magister? He is also a very high-level painter."

"That's right." Hogus nodded and said, "Karina is the chief painter of the royal palace. I have been in contact with the royal family who joined the royal family halfway. When she showed her enthusiasm for painting, she met an enlightened mentor who taught her a lot of painting knowledge.

Unfortunately, she left without saying goodbye one day, but it made her very sad.

Karina even said herself that failing to find her mentor was a great regret in her life..."

"Well, it turns out that the white hat and Karina the great magister still have this experience..." Leiter's eyes flashed a flash of surprise, and he said with emotion: "From this point of view, the white hat is indeed a great person. Preaching and teaching, selfless dedication”

Hogus looked at Leiter in surprise, and gave a thumbs up: "The summary is very incisive!"

In the evening, the long dining table in Dark Rock Castle was already filled with sumptuous dinners.

Because of the heavyweight guest of the third prince, Leiter specially prepared a full banquet of aquatic monsters. Now the aquatic monsters in Cold Crystal Lake have begun to take shape, with the number reaching nearly a thousand, enough to satisfy an occasional sumptuous feast.

Fire fish sashimi, steamed giant tooth scallops, garlic giant tooth scallops, shrimp and crab tender meat lasagne, white asparagus cream shell crab roe soup, coconut milk fire fish pineapple balls, seafood pie, seafood salad...

There are more than ten or twenty dishes in total, and Tucker's eyes are wide open! If it weren't for Leiter's repeated instructions and emphasis on maintaining an aristocratic demeanor and not losing his composure in front of distinguished guests, his saliva would have flowed out long ago.

Even Thales, seeing such a sumptuous aquatic monster meal for a long time, unconsciously licked his lips, his appetite whetted!

But for Hogus and his party, this is nothing more than a common meal, like this in the palace.

And for this level, banquets and gatherings are just forms, and the important thing is the communication in the banquet.

Right and Hogus were talking and laughing amidst the lights and shadows, and the clinking of toasts.

One of the two intends to attract talents, and the other intends to take refuge in a big tree to enjoy the shade, and the words are harmonious and joyful.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and the dinner party was enjoyable.

Late at night, Hogus and Leiter came to a rooftop connecting the secondary castle and the center of the main castle.

At first, it was Leiter who was driving here alone to watch the moon. Hogus arrived later and said with a smile:

"Earl Leiter is very elegant, watching the moon at this time!"

Rett suddenly turned around and said hello: "Prince Hogus, good evening, are you satisfied with today's dinner?"

"Very satisfied, this is the best meal I've had since leaving the palace." Hogus said in a rather serious manner. Although the taste is really just average.

"Oh, this is really good news. I will give a bonus to Cook Malu in the future. This will be the highest praise she has ever received!" Rhett shrugged and laughed.

"You are a generous lord." Hogus strolled leisurely to Leiter, looked up at the moon, and said suddenly: "Earl Leiter, I heard that you didn't continue after you came down from the battlefield?"

Leite was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a touch of sadness, and nodded slightly.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think that starting a new relationship may help you get out of the shadows. Your future is still very long and exciting. You can try and find another person to accompany you..." Hogus persuaded, if Rhett Agree, he can introduce his faction, the most outstanding eldest daughter of the noble, and in the future, he may even change the cage and annex the power of a family.

"Prince Hogus, I appreciate the kindness, but I don't want to do it." Leiter replied softly. Not only did he not want to, but the three sons might not be happy to see him either. Finding a strange woman would change the atmosphere of the whole family.

Hogus glanced at Leiter's profile, and spread his hands: "Well, everything is up to you. But I mean...even if you don't find a real wife, if necessary, I can introduce you to some stunning maids with devil figures , to ensure that all of them are of the best quality. In your free time, it would be nice to have more flavorful seasonings, what do you think?"

Leite was silent for a long time, shook his head and said: "There is no need to mention this kind of thing again. Third Prince, the night is already very deep, I have to go back to rest."

"Well, it seems that you, Earl Leiter, are as dedicated as the legend says." Hogus looked at the back of Leiter who turned around neatly, and smiled helplessly: "I'm just trying to test it, there is no other meaning.

Actually, I have other things to ask you..."

Wouldn’t it be better to say it earlier, I have to linger for so long... The corner of Leiter’s mouth twitched with his back to Hogus, and when he turned around again, his expression returned to normal, showing a hint of doubt at the right time: "Prince Hogus, what else is there?" ?”

Hogus took two steps forward, "I want to invite you to be my secret confidant, you will be the most potential genius in my department!"

Leiter has long been used to this crisp and neat way. The more important the resolution is, the less twists and turns and nonsense this kind of time alone will be.

Leite pretended to be surprised, opened his eyes slightly, and said:

"Isn't Prince Hogus joking?"

"Of course not!" Hogus asked with a serious face, "Is Earl Leiter not confident? Or is he still unclear about your own value?

With potential like you, you are fully qualified to be recruited by anyone. Even my older brothers and sisters would make such a choice after learning about today's situation.

But trust me, I think you better than any of them. Because what I value is not only your talent, but also your quality. I believe that your joining is enough to make you and I have the brightest future. "

Rett pondered for a long time, as if considering carefully, before seriously saying:

"Prince Hogus, you look like a king!"

Hearing Leiter's words, Hogus was obviously stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly:

"Hehe, the king is too old, his father is in his prime, and the sanctuary has a long lifespan, so there is no hope in the short term."

Rett was silent, he couldn't say much on this topic.

Then, Hogus continued: "How does Earl Leiter think?"

Rett continued to remain silent. He couldn't reply too quickly, which would easily arouse suspicion.

He looked pensive and frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering the other party's invitation. This state lasted for about ten minutes.

Hogus waited patiently aside.

Finally, Rhett stroked his chest and bowed: "Of course, I am deeply honored to be favored by Prince Hogus!"

If the development of him and the territory can get the help of a prince, it will definitely speed up the process greatly!

Hogus's eyes lit up: "Congratulations to Earl Leiter, you have made a choice that you will never regret in the future! You will be my most important subordinate on the southwest border."

"Really? I am happy to serve you." Leiter said respectfully.

Horgus's face was filled with joy, he waved his hand, and said boldly: "If you need anything here, please feel free to mention it, and I will find a way to satisfy you."

Leite was waiting for this sentence, although he knew it in his heart, he still pretended to be overjoyed, thought for a moment, and said:

"It would be great if we could have some alchemy talents. The alchemy strength in my territory is still a bit weak."

"Simple, when I return to the palace, I will send a few intermediate alchemists trained by me. Presumably working here for a few years will be enough to promote development!" Hogus responded very readily. On the one hand, he did intend to give Rhett helps. On the other hand, it is also blocking Leiter's follow-up request. Although the other party agreed to join him, it will take time to verify how loyal he is. He believed in Lei Te, but it was impossible for him to offer a bunch of generous benefits just by listening to what the other party said. The most reasonable choice is actually to support each other step by step as the relationship deepens...

Rett showed a happy look: "Thank you, Prince Hogus!"

"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter." Hogus's mouth curled up, and he added: "Besides, I will send someone to bring you some Aurora Potion after I go back. You have such a talent, you must cherish it. I hope to see you break through to the Grand Magister sooner."

"Thank you!" Lei Te was even more grateful, but suddenly showed a look of hesitation, and asked: "Can you give me more Moonlight Potion and Boiling Potion, I have three sons who also need to practice..."

"Don't worry, I have thought about it, and I will send it together. In fact, Yuehui Potion and Boiling Potion are not valuable in Wangcheng, including other inferior medicines. There are a large number of alchemy pharmacists in Wangcheng, and the production capacity of inferior medicines has long been reached. Quite high." Hogus said indifferently.

Lett thanked again.

Then, the two chatted a few words around various topics.

Because in the eyes of Hogus, Leiter is already his own, so he has less scruples when chatting.

So while chatting, he suddenly thought of something, which was closely related to the southwest border, so he asked:

"Earl Leiter, I remember last year...you returned to the canyon defense battle?"

"Yes." Lei Te nodded.

Hogus was silent for a while, and said: "I also heard... It seems that you have discovered the traitor hidden on the human side?

Oh no, to be exact, the mysterious person who gave you the note told you about the traitor behind you? "

As a prince, he did have some insider information, and before Lei Te could reply, he continued: "Now there are only you and me here, I want to know the real situation. Lei Te, are you sure... that mysterious person gave you note?"

Leite showed a look of surprise at the right time, and then frowned: "I'm sure, is there something wrong here?"

"Well." Hogus also frowned: "I heard that when the commander of the Hanliu defense line heard about this, he doubted you. He suspected that the orcs might deliberately sell the flaws, just to cultivate A spy who is better at penetrating inside!"

"What?" Leiter's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help exclaiming, being labeled a human traitor is no small matter! If this misunderstanding cannot be cleared up in time, it will be like a ticking time bomb, which may explode one day and bring disaster.

"What did you say later?" Leiter asked, and then said firmly: "I can guarantee that I have absolutely nothing to do with the orcs. Besides, I have fought on the front line for more than ten years, how could I be a spy for the orcs?

Ridiculous, ridiculous! "

"Don't worry, I think so too. In fact, the guess of the commander of the cold current line of defense was quickly refuted by others. The result of the original discussion agreed that the probability of you being a spy is very small." Hogus shook his head, " Especially meeting you in person today is even more impossible. How could a genius like you be able to do such a hopeless job as a spy? How could it be possible to be subdued by the orcs?"

Hearing this, Lei Te breathed a sigh of relief, "The royal family is wise!"

Then, he still said uneasy: "Then, may I know how far the royal family's investigation of the traitor has reached? What kind of progress has it made?

I am also very curious, who has such a great ability to develop traitors behind us. "

"I can reveal it to you, but you have to remember to keep it secret!

There are currently three speculations. The first is that the orc sanctuary powerhouse secretly develops spies within us humans. Such examples have not happened in the past, but they have not spread to the outside world. And it's not the Jinlun Kingdom, similar things have happened in other kingdoms! Hogus frowned unconsciously when he talked about the orcs, and then said: "The first possibility is the greatest, and it is also the main direction of the current investigation, but I am not responsible for this matter, and I have no first-hand access to it news. "

Rett nodded thoughtfully. What Hogus said made sense, and it was all secrets that he couldn't touch in the past.

"The second possibility is that the monsters in the sanctuary are playing tricks. The monsters in the sanctuary may also take shape. Although our human country does not provoke the strong monsters of the holy rank, there are not a few monsters that die at the hands of humans every year, so the relationship between the two parties has never been. It’s not even a matter of harmony.”

This is a conspiracy theory, at least there are no clues and inferences...Leite thought to himself, and he also believed that the possibility of the sanctuary monsters playing tricks could not be ruled out!

"Then what about the third type?" Rhett asked again.

But Hogus did not respond as quickly as before.

Rett saw Hogus fell silent, and suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. Even the orcs and monsters have suspected it, but there is still one biggest force that has not been mentioned!

He blurted out: "Could it be possible that there is something inside the human being..."

Halfway through the speech, he couldn't continue, Leiter narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right, but the sanctuary of our Jinlun Kingdom can be ruled out. Even if it's a trick, it can only be the sanctuary of other kingdoms..." Hogus's eyes flashed coldly.

Leite shared the same hatred: "No matter what, those traitors deserve to die!"

"That's right, the most intolerable thing is the internal traitor, each of which must end in death." Hogus's voice was tinged with coldness.

Then, he seemed to think of something, with a hint of hesitation on his face: "Leite, that mysterious man, have you caught any clues, such as body shape, voice, features, etc."

I know, his name is Goldfinger... Rhett shrugged: "I don't have any clues. In fact, I'm also curious about who he is. Is there any clue to the royal family's investigation?"

"How is it possible, this is harder than finding out a traitor, and it is also incomprehensible. It is because of the special nature of this mysterious person that you were initially suspected, Leiter..." Hogus shook his head.

Perhaps realizing that he had said too much, Hogus let out a breath, looked at the moon and the stars, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Earl Leiter, it's getting late, it's time to rest early. By the way, if that mysterious person contacts you, please report to me!"

"No problem!" Leiter stroked his chest and said, "Good night, Prince Hogus!"

"Good night, Earl Leiter!" Hogus waved his hand and turned to leave.

Watching Hogus leave, Leiter looked up at the moon again, lost in thought:

"Nothing was found out? It's a good thing. This also makes the identity of the mysterious person really 'mysterious'. I always have a hunch, maybe, I will have to use this identity again in the future..."

Hogus was in Leiter's territory, and he had to go back after only three days. This is slightly different from the simulation.

During the period, Lei Te personally accompanied him and traveled around the territory.

Hogus has warned not to disclose the news of the arrival, and try to hide the relationship between the two.

On the third day, to see Hogus off, Leiter rode on Haig who hadn't ridden for a long time.

When a group of people passed a clearing in the forest, Hogus stopped and turned to look at Leiter:

"Earl Leiter, I have something to tell you. Since you are staying on the southwest border, I have some secrets that I planted in the early years, which may be helpful to you."

Leite showed curiosity when he heard it.

"Actually, you still know this person, and it might surprise you if you tell him." Hogus smiled slightly.

"Oh? I know it, but it can't be my family." Leiter said jokingly.

"Well, barely count..."

The voice fell.

Rett's smile suddenly froze.

But before he could speak, Hogus shook his head and said, "Carol, you must know each other, right?"

It turned out to be her... Leiter showed a strange look on his face: "Of course, I know Gale's wife and Kelina's mother. Could it be that she is also your subordinate?"

Hogus smiled a bit cryptically: "That's right, Gary's wife was cultivated by me more than ten years ago. Although it is not a very important role, she is also responsible for supervising and inquiring about the news of the aristocratic circle in Blaine..."

Leite's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, his heart was hidden really deep enough, he asked curiously:

"How did Carol collect information for you? Through gatherings with other ladies?"

"Well, in fact, I still have several men on the southwest border, and women account for the majority. In this kind of lower-level noble circle, it is much more convenient for ladies to collect information than men. They only need to get along with some nobles It’s easy to achieve the goal by developing some intimate relationship.” Hogus smiled playfully and said: “After all, what I want for the information here is to cover a wide range. And it’s easy to achieve it by using physical desire.”

After hearing these words, Leiter was shocked and stunned.

Trying to calm down, he looked straight at Hogus, and said, "Could it be that Carol also used what you said...to satisfy her physical desires to obtain information?"

"Well, she hasn't, but if you need it, I can ask her to provide you with all 'services', whether it is information or other 'needs'..."

"How is it, exciting?" Hogus smiled playfully.

Stimulate you big-headed ghost, do you people in the royal family play so flamboyantly... Rhett complained in his heart, and at the same time he was grateful for Gale, fortunately there is no green grassland above his head...

He shook his head and said: "No need, Prince Hogus, you know me, it is impossible to do that kind of thing with Ke Lina's mother.

If it is possible, I even hope that you can give up Carol, a dark child, so as to avoid some accidents in the future, and Kelina will be heartbroken after learning the truth in the future. "

At this time, several guards around listened to the conversation just now, with different thoughts.

Gerson was a little dismissive, "Life is alive, and the ultimate enjoyment is worthy of this experience. It's just sleeping with a woman. It's no big deal. Of course, you can do whatever you want. I'm timid, Earl Leiter is totally sorry for this talent!"

Zelos, the great earth mage, flashed a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither extravagant nor silver, this Earl Leiter has the excellent qualities of a great event, like Gersen who lives for the crotch, It will be like that all his life, maybe the title of crotch knight is more suitable for him..."
