"Bang!!"

The crystal clear crystal cup was smashed to the ground. Seeing this scene, the guard captain did not dare to take a breath. He just lowered his head, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

"A foreign noble actually dares to provoke the Parwood family on the Eagle Plateau?! He is so brave!!"

The old man sitting in front of the desk has white beard and hair, but his calm expression and body as straight as a javelin make people feel heavy pressure. Not only the guard captain did not dare to take a breath, but even he

The attendant next to him was also sweating profusely at this time. He lowered his head and stood aside without daring to say anything.

"Father!"

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man striding out of the crowd. His eyebrows looked quite similar to the old man, but he was much younger. He was wearing a black dress, with his waist

There is a long sword hanging, and the whole person is like an unsheathed sword, making people awe-inspiring.

"Please let me go, I promise to capture the villain who provoked the Parwood family!"

In fact, strictly speaking, collecting a debt is not a big deal. Logically speaking, the Parwood family should not take it so seriously. However, the person who provoked them was a nobleman. From this point of view, the whole matter

There was a big change immediately. And this is also related to the history of Eagle Plateau.

After the Second War between Heaven and Earth, the Temple and the Dark Territory fought to the death, and had to withdraw from the dark underground world. After that, for a long time, the power of the Temple weakened, while the power of the mortals gradually increased.

Kingship and religion began to gradually separate. The Kingdom of the Nine Saints, which was once established to fight against the demons, also underwent changes in this series of changes. The elves returned to the Star-Moon Forest to recuperate, and they opened the mystery lock.

The connection between the human world and the kingdom of elves was completely closed.

The Komando Empire, which was founded by Silver Saint Seron, fell apart in the struggle between royal power and religion. The two sides fought against each other for more than a hundred years, and finally had to divide the north and the south with the Abyss of Sin as the boundary. The Great Mother

Spree, the Kingdom of Spring sheltered by Chati, split into four small countries due to internal struggles for power. The country of Skar, which was once established by the green goddess Adas and is located on the Eagle Plateau, is even worse.

In October of the Year of the Broken Sword, with the sudden death of King Dardanelle V, Skarr fell into a long-term chaos. Because Dardanelle V had no heirs and died suddenly not long after he came to the throne.

This plunged the entire country into a long-lasting chaos, and then Prime Minister Pakashi, who was in charge of national affairs, announced that the son of Dardanelle V's sister, Princess Cyprien, would be made a prince.

But not everyone is willing to accept this outcome. The royal party believes that although Princess Siplein’s son is also considered a son of the royal family, his bloodline is not pure after all. And the spokesperson they introduced is even more surprising-it is a male from the male family.

He is the son of a manor in the northwest of Eagle Plateau. Rumor has it that he is the child of a maid whom Dardanelle gave birth to while drunk. Although his identity as an illegitimate son is somewhat unjustifiable, he is also a direct bloodline of the royal family, so naturally he is better than his younger sister and his younger sister.

Children born to outsiders are much more legitimate.

Neither side was willing to give in, and it eventually developed into a full-scale war. In the end, the nobles headed by Prime Minister Parkashi were defeated by the royal party. But this did not mark the end of the war. At the end of that war, although Parkashi

Prime Minister Xi and others died on the battlefield, but they also succeeded in assassinating the illegitimate prince, creating a lose-lose situation.

As a result, the situation in the entire country became even more chaotic, the royal party lost its supporters, and the ambitious lords were not willing to be left alone, and they rose up one after another in an attempt to unify the country.

This war lasted for decades, with countless casualties. The former Kingdom of the Sky was completely swept into the garbage dump of history, and this also gave the wandering barbarians in the north an opportunity. They took advantage of the Kingdom of the Sky for years to

During the civil war, when the people were struggling to make a living, they moved south in one fell swoop, occupying large swaths of the other side's territory with overwhelming force.

As the saying goes, times make heroes. After discovering that if they continued to fight, they would only be able to take advantage of others, these local lords and nobles finally decided to unite and fight against the outside world. And one of the nobles named Urna took the lead and divided the originally divided country.

The eagles reunited and finally combined their forces to defeat the barbarians and expel them from the Eagle Plateau.

After that, with this alliance as the main body, the Eagle Plateau formed a new form of governance called the Skar Federation to balance the interests of all parties. To put it bluntly, all the lords in the newly established Skar Federation still ruled

They are independent countries, but they are united together in the form of a covenant. The rulers of the Skal Federation adopt a rotating system, rotating every four years. Although on the surface, the rulers of the Federation do not

He has absolute power to rule, but he can issue orders for the entire federation. This order can be passed as long as two-thirds of the lords agree.

Under this special system, the authority of the lord of each territory is naturally very important. As the ruler of one of the territories, the Parwood family cannot allow a foreign noble to challenge their authority casually, otherwise

Once their majesty is wiped out, the Parwood family's voice within the federation will also be reduced in the future. It is precisely because of this that they are so angry at Zhan's provocation. Regardless of whether the other party is crazy or premeditated.

, just based on what he said, the Parwood family will not be able to solve this matter. There are no secrets among the nobles. If this matter spreads, how can they hang out in the federation in the future?

The guard captain naturally knows about this matter. If possible, he really doesn't want to get involved. He is just a small guard officer, and the intrigues at the aristocratic level are really not something someone like him can get involved with. But unfortunately, it is his responsibility.

There was nothing he could do.

Hearing his son's words, Old Parwood showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He nodded and was about to say something. But at this moment, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly came.

"Please wait a moment."

Hearing this voice, everyone present was stunned. They turned their heads and looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw a girl with thick blond hair wearing a white robe sitting there, frowning and thinking about something.

After noticing everyone's gazes, she shook her head and then looked at the old man at the desk.

"Father, I think there is something wrong with it."

"Is there a problem?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. If anyone else had said this, they would probably have scoffed at it, but the person speaking now was the daughter of the Parwood family, the pearl of the Tower of Stars, and a mid-level mage.

.Then they have to reconsider the meaning.

"What's the problem?"

When he heard his daughter's words, Old Parwood also frowned. In fact, after listening to Zhan's words conveyed by the defense officer, his lungs exploded, and he wished he could send someone to deal with him immediately. But now after listening

After his daughter spoke, he was stunned for a moment, and felt that there was something vaguely wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was for a while.

"Don't you find it strange? If he is an ordinary person, then he does not know that the Parwood family is normal. If he is just a traveler passing by, he will naturally not care about this. But when a noble comes to someone else's territory,

It is impossible not to conduct an investigation at all. He should know very well that Parsus is under the jurisdiction of our Parwood family. But in this case, he still made provocations, indicating that the other party was well prepared. It can be seen from this

"Either the noble came to cause trouble for us at the request of a certain force, or..." After saying this, the girl pondered for a moment. "...Or, he didn't take the Parwood family into consideration at all.

No matter what happens, I don’t think we should act rashly.”

"So what are you going to do?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Old Parwood also nodded. Just now, he felt that something was wrong. But now after listening to his daughter's words, he found out that there was indeed something fishy about it.

But this time, the girl did not answer immediately. Instead, she frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the defense officer next to her.

"You just said that the gentleman gave you a bag of gold coins?"

"Yes, yes, Miss. It's a bag of gold coins. I counted them, and there are indeed only a hundred..."

"show me."

"OK."

Hearing what the girl said, the garrison officer immediately reached into his arms and took out the money bag and handed it over respectfully. The girl took the money bag and just glanced at it. After seeing the pattern on the surface of the money bag, the next moment, she

Those beautiful brown eyes suddenly widened a lot.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing something strange about the girl, Old Parwood couldn't help but asked curiously. When he heard his father's question, the girl let out a sigh of relief, then stood up and walked to her father's side, placing the money bag in front of him.

.

"Father, it seems that this time, we have to be patient."

"?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at his daughter doubtfully, and then looked at the money bag.

Drawn on the surface of the money bag is a family crest. Drawn on the dark cloth are three white rings and a six-pointed star. In the middle of the six-pointed star, a bright red snake twists its body and bites

Biting his own tail.

When he saw this sign, the old man suddenly looked gloomy,

"Three-ringed six-pointed star......"

"That's right, Father."

Looking at her father's expression, the girl also sighed lightly.
