Lonely house, withered garden. Emerson's mansion is located in the northeast of Silver Ring City, built in a secluded forest.

Earl 　　 led everyone into his home. The huge front hall was empty and there was no single figure in sight. Even the walk was amplified to the level of noisy due to the echo.

　　 "Where is your family?" Brunhild looked back and forth and asked the earl.

　　 "Go." Emerson looked at the empty room and said calmly, "I let them go."

　　 An old butler who is nearly old, walked towards the crowd from one end of the hall. He trembled as he walked, but he was meticulous in etiquette.

Emerson brushed his forehead: "Old Camp, why did I forget you. Everyone, this old man is the housekeeper of my family, and he is older than my father. I asked my family to leave Yinhuan at the beginning. Cheng, he is the only one who insists on staying."

　　 Old Camp bent down slightly, bowed respectfully to Cumberland, and said mildly: "My Lord Baron, I haven't seen you for a long time, the young master will often talk about you."

　　 Cumberland, who has not been called "Baron" for a long time, was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled at the old man who had been familiar and close since childhood: "Old Camp, it's nice to meet you."

　　 The old butler looked at Brunhild who was behind, turned his body, and pointed his finger forward: "Guests from afar, please come to the living room. I personally made hot tea and made refreshments."

Emerson waved to the old butler: "No, I'm afraid we don't have time to drink tea and chat, I have important things to talk to these people. Cumberland, our plan needs to be discussed and perfected, and what you promised Take it, see you where we are."

　　 Cumberland nodded, took out a 30 cm square wooden box from the attendant's bag, followed in Emerson's footsteps, and walked towards the study.

　　 Without taking two steps, the earl turned around and saw Brunnhild who was behind them, frowned and said to Cumberland: "I remember saying that there are only two of us."

　　 The old knight shrugged to his friend: "She is the helper I invited and is an indispensable part of our plan."

　　 Emerson glanced at Brunhild again, and went on without speaking.

　　 The three people came to the study, the earl pressed the secret compartment in the bookcase, and the bookcase slowly moved away, revealing the secret door behind it.

　　 Compared to Brunhild’s surprised look, Cumberland, who was commonplace, looked calmer.

　　 Passed the secret door and followed a passageway that only allowed one person to pass for tens of meters. The three of them came to a secret room hidden under the house.

Cumberland looked at the map all over the wall, and the labels with numbers and time. After carefully observing the degree of the paper becoming old and yellow, he looked at Emerson again with a few points in his eyes. lament.

　　 The latter seemed to understand the expressions of his old friend. He arranged the notes on the table with both hands and said, "This country has abandoned its heavenly Father and abandoned its morality. It has long no longer existed."

　　 Cumberland found a chair and sat down, looked at Emerson for a long while, and finally chose to remain silent.

　　 The earl stretched out his hand to Cumberland: "Where is the thing I asked you to bring?"

　　 Cumberland opened the wooden box he carried with him, and the curious Brunhild looked over and saw more than twenty seals quietly placed inside.

Emerson picked up one and examined it carefully with the light of the fire, and exclaimed sincerely: "The imitation is great, it's almost exactly the same! Even some details that ordinary people can't notice, even the corners are worn. It's perfect! A perfect fake!"

　　 "Fakes? Your Majesty prefers to call them the "Carrot Chapter"."

　　 It took a long time for Emerson to react: "Your Majesty? Oh, you are talking about the King of Mussy..."

Cumberland put the wooden box on the table and asked: "Are you sure that the fake military order won't attract the attention of others? Last time, in order to speed up the march of the Union Army, they had already used this trick. Fooled?"

Emerson nodded and said: "The last fake military order was only read by a few people. The Silver Circle Council regarded the arguments of the defeated as a lie, and defined it as an excuse of responsibility. Therefore, there has been no way of using seals in the military. The only change is that compared with before, there is more emphasis on the number and order of seals."

　　 "My lord, I'm here to bring refreshments." The voice of the old housekeeper in the dark startled the three of them.

　　 Brunhild slowly drew his spear and looked at Cumberland and Emerson.

　　 Count shook his head towards the Valkyrie and said, "Let down your weapons! Old Camp is my most reliable person. There are many maps on the wall that he helped depict."

　　 Old Camp watched the woman in front of him slowly retracted the spear, put a plate of pastries on the coffee table, and handed her a cup of vanilla tea. Then he came to Emerson's side and handed another teacup: "Master, this is your favorite honey **** tea."

　　 Emerson took the cup, took a sip, and nodded contentedly.

　　 Brunhild looked at the hot tea in the cup, frowned and said, "Is there no ale? If it doesn't work, fruit wine will work."

　　 Seeing Old Camp shook her head, she put down the tea cup, took another piece of pastry made of flour, and complained again: "Is there no dried meat? Fried fish?"

　　 The old butler shook his head again, completely cutting off Brunhild's thoughts.

　　 She stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, only chewed twice, her eyes slowly lit up: "It's delicious! It's delicious! Much better than the pastry shops in West Side!"

Ignoring the young and old talking about desserts in the room, Emerson pointed to the defense map of Silver Ring and said to Cumberland: "There are about 1,200 defenders in the city, and the number of barbarian and Silver Ring troops is basically the same. , But there are still four barbarian tribes stationed outside the city, with about 800 people."

　　 Cumberland asked, "Where are you going to do it?"

　　 Emerson drew a circle on the map with a pen, and it said "Royal Treasure House".

　　

Three days later, at midnight, outside the main gate of the Silver Ring Palace ~lightnovelpub.net~ the commander of the Royal Guards Battalion, looking at the deployment document in his hand, asked Count Emerson suspiciously: "Temporary deployment? Why am I? Never heard of it?!"

　　 The earl touched his beard, looked at the chief of the guard condescendingly, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to know why?"

　　 The chief guard was speechless for a while, and the first reaction in his mind was that someone in the royal family was going to be unlucky.

　　Since the Silver Ring Kingdom, after Queen Mary was arrested in the middle of the night, guards and guards, coupled with secret arrests, have almost become the basic routine of the Supreme Council to persecute members of the royal family.

Chief Kanto carefully looked at the five seals on the document. They were the king, the secretary of the interior, the secretary of the interior, the supreme justice, and the chief of parliament. After comparing them with the rubbings of the seals brought by his subordinates, they confirmed that they were all correct. , Sighed deeply, and said to Emerson: "Is it your Royal Highness Humphrey this time? He has made a lot of remarks in defense of Heavenly Father before, and I thought the parliament had let him go..."

　　 Looking at the inscrutable expression of Earl Emerson, the commander of the guard waved his hand, shook his head and said: "When I didn't say it, everything should follow your majesty's will."

　　 Watching the guard battalion leave the gate of the palace, Emerson looked at the undefended palace in the dark and patted his hands lightly.

　　The warriors of the North Island Knights appeared like ghosts from the darkness.
