Chapter 618: : The wind and clouds never stop surging (1/2)

”Father, it's windy outside.”

”Put this cloak on.”

A gentle and quiet voice sounded in the study.

Marquis Henry Lancaster turned to take the cloak, draped it over his shoulders, and fastened the front and rear buckles.

The suede cape is beautifully crafted and the size is just right.

Apparently a finely tailored cape.

”Penny, why are you here?”

”Didn't you go out to the flower shop?”

The Marquis of Lancaster smiled mildly and reached out to scratch the nose of the person who came.

”My mother and I just returned from the flower shop.”

”Those white roses cultivated in Tianhuafang are blooming one after another.”

”Just right as a decoration for a banquet!”

It was Penny Lancaster, the youngest daughter of Henry Lancaster.

It's no exaggeration to say it's a sweetheart baby.

At least the two sisters of Penny had never received much attention from the Marquis Henry.

”Father, ever since Uncle Quinnir looked for you, you've been standing on the terrace in a daze.”

”Is there any trouble with the Knights?”

Penny asked cautiously.

She is about to come of age, beautiful and generous, and received a good lady-like education since childhood.

Gentle and naive.

It is a delicate flower that has not yet experienced rain, snow, wind and frost, and retains the most pure and beautiful fragrance.

Hearing Penny's question, Marquis Henry was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

”It's not about the Knights.”

”The heresy about Odo Village has been eliminated.”

”Although many crusade soldiers were lost, they also successfully eliminated that part of the Jackdaw Apostles.”

”And also brought back three elders of the apostles and many church deacons.”

He explained patiently that Penny had a pure heart, but she was very intelligent.

Marquis Henry would not hide it from him.

”My worry is because the second prince is coming!”

”Quinnir discovered a demon relic before, which is said to be related to the demon hunters in the last era.”

”The so-called demon hunters are all fallen from the elven warriors of the last era. They were born to kill demons, but they are still demons in essence.”

”The ruins are in the dark forest south of the great city of Rentax.”

”Quinnir was originally scheduled to leave in two and a half months, but now it should be earlier.”

”The second prince didn't know where he came to know that this time he came out to the banquet to explore that demon ruin with Quinnir.”

Henry Lancaster said slowly.

A gust of wind blew past the terrace, blowing the hair from his temples.

Penny nodded suddenly when she heard the words.

It is no wonder that the guards in the city and the major outer gates have suddenly become much tighter today.

”Are you worried that the second prince is in danger in the ruins?”

Seeing that her father was silent, Penny lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and added.

Marquis Henry nodded.

”Yes, the second prince is dissolute and adventurous.”

”Now the king's body is getting worse day by day, and his lifespan is about to run out.”

”Except for the missing five princesses, the rest of the princes and princesses are fighting for power.”

”Under the open and secret struggle, the consuls of various places were forced to stand in line.”

”Especially standing behind the second prince is Grand Duke Jonathan, one of the three princes.”

”Grand Duke Jonathan is the one closest to the central and eastern part of the three imperial cities in charge.”

”If something happens to the second prince in the giant city of Rentax, I am afraid that the Lancaster family will not be able to continue to have a foothold in Rentax.”

Marquis Henry Lancaster said with a serious expression.

”Then we should send more guards over there...”

”This will ensure the safety of the second prince.”

Penny thought for a while, then made her own suggestion.

The Marquis Henry shook his head with a wry smile.

”No, the second prince will think this is a humiliation and denial of him!”

”Now I can only take one step at a time. When the time comes, I will transfer the elite of the giant city to Quinnir, and then tell him to be careful everywhere.”

”The elites of the giant city plus those Pendragon loyal guards and Pendragon dragon guards who are casual with the second prince can basically pass through the general ruins safely.”

”Starting today, Penny, you have to take the shape-changing potion every day to make yourself ugly.”

”The second prince is too dissolute. It's not necessarily a good thing for you to follow him.”

”The battle for kingship is still pending. Although Lancaster has nominally stood in line, it's good to leave a way back...”

Hearing her father say this, the wise Penny understood in an instant.

She lifted her skirt, bowed her knees slightly, and curtseyed.

Penny's cleverness and sensibleness are also the reasons why she is loved by Marquis Henry and can even freely enter and leave the Marquis's study to discuss the secrets of the giant city.

”Don't worry, Father, Penny understands.”

Disguise Elixir can adjust facial bone and muscle changes to your heart's content.

It was not the first time for Penny to take it.

Because it is a physical adjustment, detection magic can't be seen.

Speaking of which, the five princesses at the time also often took this medicine and went out to travel in the form of ordinary women.

The second prince has a wild and unrestrained personality. He has seen all kinds of Yingying and Yanyan, and naturally understands the so-called disguising medicine.

But to a ”player” of his level, what matters more to women is interest.

As long as he wasn't interested in Penny at the time, he wouldn't be interested afterwards.

The most important thing is for the political game.

The current lineup doesn't explain much, but once Penny becomes the second prince's woman.

Then even if he really got on the pirate ship.

At that time, the great city of Rentax will definitely fall into the quagmire of war.

Fortunately, there are more than a dozen giant cities surrounded by the second prince, so he wouldn't go out of his way to do anything for a Rentax giant city.

After a simple conversation between the father and daughter, they fell silent tacitly.

After a long while, Marquis Henry spoke again.

”Penny, there are many noble children participating in this competition.”

”There is even the son of Marquis Claire Gordon of Harlem in the south, and Conrad Gordon, who has the title of Knight of the Sky in the South. As a Dragon Owl Knight, he even took the Dragon Owl Knight Squadron to the southern frontier fortress and the dragon a few days ago. The Third and Fifth Legions fought side by side.”

”For such outstanding young people, there will be many in this competition.”

”If it is suitable, I hope you can find your future husband in the competitive conference.”

”The storm is coming, and the Lancaster family will be guarded by me!”

Marquis Henry said earnestly.

Penny didn't say much about this, and still nodded meekly.

The study was quiet again, with only a gentle breeze blowing.

...

In the southern part of the mainland, in the Sapru Prairie, Jinbuluo is in the imperial city.

This is the imperial city ruled by Prince Ayub.

Almost all human kingdoms in the mainland will set up multiple imperial cities to solve the problem of reducing the influence of the royal family due to the vast territory.

The Jinbuluo Imperial City is located in the southeastern part of the Sultanate of Sarand, which is adjacent to the southwest side of Avalon.

The Saland Sultanate also has a rich geomorphological environment.

However, in terms of land area, the land of Sarand is mainly composed of flat grasslands and arid Gobi.

There are a lot of oases scattered in the Gobi.

There is also a large river called the Sarand River that spans the entire Sarande Sultanate from west to east.

It even extends into the territory of the Kingdom of Avalon, all the way to the east until it enters the sea.

Therefore, the Sarand River is also the mother river of the Sarand Sultanate.

Jinbuluo Imperial City is located right next to the Saran River.

At this time, a majestic sand vulture stood on the shoulders of Prince Ayub, the ruler of the imperial city.

Holding the text message written on the parchment in his hand, his expression gradually turned from calm to angry.

”The caliph was completely fascinated by that woman.”

”It has been half a year that the Eagle Books submitted by the tribes have not been processed.”

”In addition, I don't know where the news leaked from. The princes have begun to keep the Chosen Son in captivity, intending to use the hand of the Chosen Son to pass the era change.”

”And the caliph turned a blind eye to it!”

Prince Ayub angrily shook the parchment in his hand, got up and walked around anxiously.

The hall was blocked by heavy curtains, and iron frames were placed on both sides below, with lanolin lamps lit on them, which became the only source of light in the hall.

At this time, in the tent behind Prince Ayub, an old man wrapped in a scarf walked out of the shadows holding a yellowed scroll.

”Contemporary sultans are really outrageous...”

”But I think this may also be related to the change of the era.”

”Hakim has been the caliph from the old sultan for more than 30 years.”

”His temperament is calm, and he is the strongest player in the sacred duel.”

”But it's the best child under the old Sultan's knees.”

Hearing these words, Prince Ayub seemed to have thought of something and turned around involuntarily.

”Mr. Abdullah...”

”You mean the caliph was affected by the curse of the epoch?”

The wrapped old man nodded, and lightly twisted his beard with his other hand.

”Since the Chosen Son has appeared on a large scale, then the fables left by the early Sultan are true, and it is not surprising that the curse of the era will appear!”

”It's not surprising that the Prince will get the news of the Chosen Son!”

”When the era is about to end, the most vicious curse will come.”

”The Son of Heaven's Chosen Comes to the World and Unties the Chains of a New Era!”

...

Abdullah said softly.

At this time, Prince Ayub suddenly realized.

”Teacher, we should do something.”
