Half a year has passed.

In the past six months, Jose has had a very fulfilling life, studying magic in his daily life, taking care of the kingdom's business development in his spare time, paying attention to the development of the mainland situation and actively making arrangements to lay the foundation for the future of the Kingdom of Versay.

One day, in the Throne Hall of the Red Fort, the red dragon was lying on the throne on the nine steps, and the prime minister of the kingdom, Ying Gou, reported below.

"Master, according to the information collected over the past six months, the second and sixth princes of the Principality of Norn are the most promising and are still working hard..."

He Sai listened quietly, raising his fingers lightly from time to time, and then gently lowering it to beat the throne below him, making a bang bang bang, and at the same time quickly processed the information reported by his family in his mind.

At this stage, the Kingdom of Fusai seems to be thriving, but in fact it is a bit embarrassing. The kingdom's future development path is limited by the geographical environment, and it must find a way to break through.

To the north is the Great Glacier, a dangerous place on the mainland of the Fusai Kingdom, to the east is the sphere of influence of Yangfan Port, and to the west is the complex situation of the Barbarian Holy City, the Mother of Cold Wave, the Kingdom of Dana, and the Kingdom of Odyssey.

Needless to say, there are too many participants in the muddy waters in the west and the east. Jose does not want to participate, and only the south is left.

Crossing the dark forest in the south, you can reach the Principality of Norn, one of the four northern countries. If the Principality of Norn can be opened up, then the third road connecting the civilized world and the prairie can be opened. Then the Kingdom of Versay will welcome Come a big development opportunity.

The biggest obstacle to winning the Principality of Norn is the original vested interests-the Northland Witch Council. The Versay Kingdom and the Northland Witch Council are incompatible with each other. There is no soft-hearted or moral issue. It just depends on whether it can be snatched from the enemy. Fatty.

Jose can almost expect the fierce resistance of the Northland Witch Council. He has found out that most of the power of the Northland Witch Council exists in the coastal kingdom-Kingdom of Wea.

If the Red Dragon takes the Principality of Norn, it will cut off the connection between the Northland Witch Council and the kingdoms of Dana and Odyssey, and directly seize three-quarters of the Northland Witch Council's territory, which is almost equivalent to a sentence of the Northland. The death penalty for the Witch Council.

However, for the Kingdom of Forsyth, the Principality of Norn was a strategic place that had to be won. Therefore, this was destined to be a fierce game that determined the survival of the two forces.

At this stage, the Northland Witch Council has a certain strength and defensive advantage, and the Red Dragon knows the truth that "the dragon has no foresight, there must be near worries." Please wait for the right time to intervene.

Now the time is right. Six months ago, after the Grand Prince Norn declared the prince the crown prince, he has been observing the remaining princes and looking for potential supporters. Now he is about to choose between the second prince and the sixth prince of the Principality of Norn.

"Second prince, his mother is a nobleman in the Central Kingdom, and she was also a strong candidate for the throne, but then something happened to his mother's family, and he has no support since then. He has been shocked on the surface and has given up the throne a long time ago, but from the observation of [Red Dagger] I learned that he has never given up and has been working hard to practice, trying to compete for the throne of the king by stepping into the legendary warrior. At the same time, he also used the cocktail party as a cover to make many military nobles..."

Yinggou continued: "The sixth prince, whose mother is the daughter of a nobleman in the Odyssey Kingdom, originally competed with the prince for the throne, and he was evenly fought, but he fell behind because the prince’s mother wooed the Northland Witch Council. Now they are suppressed, but due to the fear of the reaction of the Odyssey Kingdom, the elder prince does not dare to beat the sixth prince to death. They still have a certain power base..."

After listening to a wonderful court seizure drama, Jose's thoughts are like electricity, after comprehensive consideration, he is more inclined to support the second prince.

On the one hand, the second prince of the Principality of Norn is helpless. If the Kingdom of Versay suddenly throws out an olive branch to help him seize the throne, he will most likely accept it, and the attention is not high, which will facilitate the red dragon to act behind the scenes.

On the other hand, Honglong feels that the second prince himself is more worthy of investment than the sixth prince. It can be seen from his "self-willed fall" that he forbears, and from secretly exerting strength and hard work, it can be seen that he is aspiring, and he secretly acquainted himself in the name of fall. Good military nobles can see his strategy.

"Tentatively, the second prince, pay close attention to his every move, look for opportunities to contact."

"Yes!" Ying Gou bowed out of the Throne Hall and disappeared at the entrance of the Throne Hall.

Jose disappeared directly on the throne and returned to the magic tower to continue studying magic. In fact, he didn't care much about the second prince who had never been masked. It didn't mean that he didn't value the Duchy of Norn.

The Principality of Norn must be won, but supporting the second prince is not a necessary option. If he has the strength of the Red Nest Mistress, he can directly hit the door to get everything done.

After all, one's own strength is the foundation of everything, and strategy is just icing on the cake.

Of course, the icing on the cake is not important, but it is better than nothing.

……………………

The Principality of Norn, the northern redstone collar.

The redstone collar is a baronial, located in the extreme north of the Duchy of Norn. The territory is full of red rocks. The land is barren and sparsely populated. It is also close to the dark dense forest. It is often harassed by the extraordinary beasts in the dark dense forest. It is the worst territory in the Principality of Norn.

The owner of this territory is the noble prince of the Principality of Norn, the second prince-Belden.

Three years ago, after an accident occurred in the grandfather's house and his mother died of anger, the second prince Belden, with the acquiescence of King Norn, was jointly driven by his "good brothers" to this place where the birds do not shit.

As everyone hoped, the former strong contenders for the throne of Norn fell. In the first period when they came to the Redstone collar, Belden, who was severely hit, did not develop his territory. Had some bad habits, such as attending various masquerades (dirty clubs).

After three years, King Norn completely gave up on him, and the other princes gradually relaxed their vigilance and no longer regarded him as a competitor.

However, what everyone does not know is that Belden's depravity is just a disguise, disguised to paralyze the vigilance of "good brothers", and thus avoid being targeted or even assassinated. In fact, he secretly practiced desperately to improve his own strength.

In the secret room of the castle swaying by candlelight, Belden, the second prince of the Principality of Norn, finished his day of practice. He was drenched in sweat and panted out of the secret room and went to the bathroom.

He got into the warm bath tub prepared by the personal maid in advance, let the warm water at the right temperature just under his chin, and enjoyed the rare relaxing time by leaning on the bath tub, his thoughts diverged.

It has been three years since he was exiled to the redstone collar of this bird that does not shit. Under perseverance, his strength has reached the level of a high-level fighter, and he has made great progress, but he is still far away from the goal-the legendary fighter.

At this point, he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.

As far as the current situation is concerned, he clearly sees that only by becoming a legendary professional can he have a chance to seize the throne.

His own strength is the foundation of everything. Only when he has the strength can he be qualified to negotiate terms with his father, and persuade the Northland Witch Council to give up support for the prince and support himself. After all, a legendary warrior and a master Grade mage, whoever is more valuable will be judged.

This is the most effective way for him to ascend to the throne, and only if he ascends to the throne can he have the strength to pursue the truth about his strangely dead mother.

"Oh, it's not easy, but fortunately Father can stay on the throne for some time, I still have a chance..." He said to himself to comfort, paralyze, and inspire himself. He can only do this to ensure that he does not collapse. Not desperate.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door, and Belden suddenly woke up and turned his head: "Who!"

"His Royal Highness, it's me," a gentle female voice came from outside the door. It was one of the only people he could trust. She grew up together and voluntarily exiled with her personal maid, Shirley.

Belden relaxed a little secretly: "Shirley, what's the matter?"

"That's it, Lord Alex came to the castle and said that I would see you if there is something important."

High-ranking warrior—Ali is besides the personal maid, another person of Belden who can be completely trusted, the guardian knight of his mother, is now his guardian knight, and also the garrison chief of the redstone collar.

"You go and tell Alex Knight first, I'll be there soon."

"OK."

When the Alex Knight came to visit at this time, there must be important things. Belden wiped his body hastily, put on his clothes and quickly came to the castle hall.

His castle was too poor to be able to use magic lights, so he could only use candles to illuminate them. The candles flickered in the breeze, projecting shadows of poor ghosts on the walls of the castle that looked like teeth and claws.

"Uncle Alex, what's the matter?"

Ali's face was serious: "Your Highness, there is news from the Orion at the edge of the dark dense forest. The extraordinary beast riot has occurred in the dark dense forest. The extraordinary beasts have gone crazy. They have left their original territory and spread to the periphery of the forest. The village on the edge of the dark forest has encountered unprecedented The villagers are all frightened by the threat of, and I pray for your help."

Belden's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. The redstone territory was barren and he could only eat the nearby dark dense forest. The villagers hunted wild beasts and collected mountain products on the periphery of the dark dense forest to make a living.

In fact, the villages around the dark dense forest are his most important source of tax revenue, accounting for 60% of the total annual tax revenue, and the population accounts for 70% of the territory's population.

In general, the villages around the dark dense forest are very important and should not be missed.

"Uncle Alex, what do you think of this matter?"

"His Royal Highness, the occurrence of extraordinary beast riots in the dark dense forest can generally be divided into two situations. One is that the number of extraordinary beasts is too large, exceeding the tolerance of the environment. The beast was affected by the more powerful and extraordinary beasts and was forced to migrate."

The Alex Knight continued: "The first situation can basically be ruled out. The last time the extraordinary beasts were saturated was four years ago, and the saturation was not reached so quickly again, so I am more inclined to the second situation."

"Well, I think so too, but no matter what, we must solve this matter as soon as possible."

Belden said solemnly: "Ali Knight, summon the elite soldiers, we will ride to Jumu Village on horseback tonight to understand the situation, and enter the forest the next day."

"Yes!" Yali gave a military salute and backed out.

Soon, in the rising moonlight, a heavily armed team stepped on the moon, holding torches, and left the castle along the path.

When we came to Jumu Village, the villagers didn’t know after asking three questions. The unknown way forward casts a shadow on everyone’s actions tomorrow, but it’s not without good news. Judging from the scope of the extraordinary beast riot, the scope of this extraordinary beast riot. Not big, which means that the source of the riot is likely not very strong.

"Two high-ranking fighters work together, it should be able to deal with," thinking about this, Belden fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the horse was placed in the village, and Belden led the soldiers into the forest to find the truth about the riot of the extraordinary beasts.

Two high-ranking fighters sit in town, and many well-equipped elite soldiers join hands. They can indeed walk sideways outside the dark dense forest. After connecting and slaughtering the three extraordinary beasts blocking the road, everyone's confidence is greatly increased.

Gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong. It has been a long time since they killed the last extraordinary beast. They didn't find anything along the way, and even the lively insects went out.

"Be careful, everyone, we may be close to the source of the problem." With a sword in his hand, Belden watched the surroundings vigilantly. This dark forest looked like a human-eating beast, cold and terrifying, and creepy.

This is not the most worrying. He always feels that something is staring at him, but he doesn't notice anything.

In the open space a hundred away from the prince team, Jose opened the invisibility barrier, quietly stepping on the ground paved with leaves and other decay, quietly observing the second prince and his party.

Under the cover of magic, the two princes of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com didn't notice anything about the scarlet behemoth not far away, and they were still groping vigilantly.

This is the power of higher transcendent races!

Just leaking a little breath can cause a wild beast riot. This is the result of his suppression of himself. If he bursts out with all his breath, then it is not as simple as an extraordinary wild beast riot, but triggers a tide of beasts called natural disasters.

Jose stayed still, and the second prince and his party continued on.

As he walked, Belden suddenly noticed that a soldier beside him had disappeared. He didn't realize how the soldier disappeared, and he couldn't help but shed cold sweat.

"Uncle Alex..." His voice trembled, and when he tilted his head, he was horrified to find that Alex was gone.

Seeing Belden retreat in horror, Jose didn't tease him anymore, expanding the range of the invisibility barrier, and enclosing Belden in.

Suddenly, Belden noticed that a stalwart red dragon appeared in the empty forest in front of him. The height of the red dragon was almost breaking through the forest, and the vertical golden dragon eyes looked at him quietly. It's as if he was here originally.

His eyes widened, his heartbeat accelerated, and his blood pressure soared. At the same time, he saw his previously disappeared companions. The ordinary soldiers lay on the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead, while the high-ranking soldiers—the pressure stood still, their movements stiff, and the whole body trembled slightly. Still immobile.

In fact, these soldiers were stunned by themselves, while the high-ranking fighters used the Red Dragon to release Longwei to suppress them.

Belden looked up mechanically and unconsciously looked at the red dragon's eye pupils. Somehow, an extremely absurd idea was born in his mind. Judging from this calm eye pupil, he was not facing a terrifying extraordinary evil. Dragon, but a wise man.

"You are here," Jose said lightly.
