"These are the true thoughts of our Emperor Heather. I am revealing them all today to show our Emperor Heather's sincerity!"
But just by listening to his words, one can see how wise the old man is.
He first revealed his identity to everyone to gain some trust and prepare for what he would say next. Then he told everyone that the black-haired young man was not a puppet of Heather to reduce their rejection of the young man.
Afterwards, they told everyone their purpose and mentioned Cromwell's achievements in order to let the other party know that they had no intention of going to war directly with Roland at the moment.
So they, the Heather Empire, want to take the opportunity to do something to the North and Loran.
All they wanted was the independence of the North, so as to weaken the growing national strength of Loran.
The effect of these words is obvious.
The northern lords, who had originally held great hostility and vigilance towards them, had now laid down their weapons in doubt and looked at their companions to ask for their opinions.
Seeing this, the old man added fuel to the fire:
"I know that the Wolf family is the master of the northern territory, so are you still willing to let that tyrant continue to encroach on the Wolf family's northern territory?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere below suddenly changed, from suspicion of the old man's motives and Heather to resentment and anger towards the tyrant.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the old man stopped talking, but the curve of his mouth became more and more obvious.
But what surprised the old man was the bald strong man who opposed it at the beginning - the demigod Gnas.
He actually drew his sword in front of everyone, pointed it at him and cursed:
"Ridiculous! This is complete nonsense!"
The northern lords all looked at the demigod Gnass. The latter continued to scold:
"Back then, the old master was so disgusting in the eyes of Emperor Heise. No, it was so annoying that people wanted to get rid of him. Um, that's not right either. Anyway, that's it. Hey, the Heise people will never let us in the North have an easy life!"
"They are definitely hiding some bad seeds. Why do you trust them?"
The old man immediately said with regret and anger:
"Demigod Gnas, do you have any evidence for what you said? We in the Heiser Empire hated the old Wolf Lord when he was alive, but now that the old Wolf Lord has been dead for many years, all we have left is respect for him!"
"So what we want now is to make the North legally independent in order to weaken our common enemy!"
"So I think you are talking nonsense! Oh, by the way, I heard that among all the old ministers of the North, only your group of the demigod Gnas had not suffered much reduction by the tyrant?"
The old man's words not only raised the banner of Cromwell, but also hinted that Gnass's faction could no longer be trusted. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Demigod Gnas also understood that he could never win an argument with this old bastard, and that continuing would most likely sunder the relationship between their old ministers in the North.
So he reluctantly threw away the sword in his hand, and then said:
"No matter what, our White Horse Defense Line will never recognize him!"
After saying this, he left angrily with his faction and supporters.
94 Confused Governor
With the departure of the demigod Gnas, the rest became much simpler.
Because the demigod Gnas had bluntly asked the old ministers of the North to take sides, those who did not recognize the identity of the black-haired young man left on the spot, and the rest were those who recognized the young man or agreed with what the old man said.

Meanwhile, Mozo and the others at the dried-up lake did not receive a reply from White Castle, but instead received a reply from the Governor of the North.
The other party appeared in the void, and seeing the Governor coming, Mozo and others hurriedly saluted. At the same time, Mozo also expressed his doubts to the Governor.
The Governor waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about:
"Don't worry about it. There was just a small problem at White Castle."
The Governor actually received the notice from Gawain and rushed from Winterfell to White Castle. However, on the way, he sensed that the rune he gave to Verdani had been used.
The teleportation location was not the White Castle he had planned, so he came here all the way.
But after saying that, he noticed the wounds on Mozo and Verdani's hands as keenly as Miss Knight, as well as the positions and atmosphere between the two sides.
After a moment of shock, he pointed at Wei Erdani with a hint of hope and asked:
"Virdani, what is your hand?"
After hearing this, Wei Erdani puffed out her chest and said proudly:
"Uncle Morris, I choose Mozo Klein as my blood covenant monarch!"
In an instant, everyone in the audience, except Audrey who didn't understand what a Blood Pact Knight was, and Mozo who was the victim, was either in an uproar or gasping for breath.
Especially Miss Knight and the Governor.
But the difference is that the former quickly turned around and touched his face in surprise. Didn't I know this a long time ago? And shouldn't I be happy for the two of them
The Governor had an expression that asked, "Who am I? Where am I? What exactly happened?"
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand why the Verdani he used as bait to hook Mozo was given away in just two days.
The last time he was so confused was why the old Wolf Lord was successfully assassinated by Isabel under such circumstances.
After a moment of confusion, Governor Morris said in astonishment:
"But, this is, why? Do you, do you really know what you are talking about?"
The Blood Knight chose a man as his lord! Do you really understand what this means
Wei Er Dani said seriously:
"Of course, Uncle Morris, I know what this means! However, I don't regret it. No, I should say I am very happy that I chose such an excellent lord like Mozo!"
The Governor finally recognized the reality, but he still asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"But why did you suddenly choose Mozo as your blood covenant master?"
For Verdani, this question was not something she needed to avoid or lie about, even if she couldn't reveal Mozo's identity.
"Because Mozo Klein not only accompanied me throughout the dangerous maze, but he also firmly protected me when facing the demigod, and even helped me retrieve the treasure of our Goris family."
Verdani then drew out the oath sword, handed it to the governor and said:
"Also, without the help of my master, not only would I not be able to get out of this maze, but it would also be impossible for the remains of our ancestors to rest in peace!"
The Governor took the oath sword in surprise. It was indeed the ceremonial sword that the old wolf lord gave to Ming En. And now Ming En's descendants also used it to fulfill a new oath.
The only pity is that Mozo is not the descendant of the Wolf family. If this is the case, not only Ming En and the old Wolf Lord in their netherworld would be deeply satisfied, but the whole world would also sing this story.
But looking at the blood stains on the sword, the governor knew that he was powerless to change the relationship between the two.
But in this case, for the sake of Ming'en and Wei'erdani, he had to leave a way out for Mozo, otherwise he was worried that he would cut off Ming'en's bloodline with his own hands.
While thinking about this, the Governor also asked another point that concerned him:
"Are you saying that this is Ming En's burial place?"
"Yes, Uncle Morris, the remains of our ancestors and the two demigods are all down there!"
"So you were fighting an evil spirit before?"
"No, we're fighting Heather's demigod!"
"Heather's demigod?!"
The Governor's brow furrowed slightly.
"Please tell me in detail!"
This time it was not Verdani who spoke, but Mozo who explained to the Governor with a little veiled explanation what was happening below.
The Governor did not ask Verdani about the truth, because since she had made a blood pact with Mozo, it was impossible for this girl to be on his side.
The only thing that made the Governor feel relieved was that Mozo also responded with the blood contract of Verdani.
After listening to Mozo's explanation, the Governor nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Apparently, Heather's Anbu had found Ming'en's whereabouts and wanted to retrieve his oath sword to add to the branch.
However, Ming En accidentally entered this strange relic during his second transfer. Not only did he encounter many twists and turns along the way, but he was also picked up by these two little guys after fighting with the evil spirits.
Mozo concealed his identity and told the Governor that all the mechanisms were destroyed by the men in black robes, and that in the final battle between the demigods, they were able to fight back because the evil spirits had seriously injured Hall.
After a brief thought, the Governor smiled at Mozo and said:
"Okay, I know the general situation. Let's do this, Viscount Mozo, you guys go back to Hejian and rest first. I'll send someone to contact you later."
Mozo also agreed to this, and then followed the garrison back to the riverside.
Watching Mozo and his group walking further and further away.
Governor Morris stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the other party with a somewhat melancholy look.
After Mozo and the others completely disappeared on the hill, the Governor shook his head and sighed:
"I respect your choice, Verdani. I also recognize that the master you chose is very excellent, but I am a retainer of the Wolf family after all."
As he said this, he turned his head and looked towards the direction of White Castle.
"I just hope that when everything comes, the master you choose will be able to see the way out I leave for him. No, with his ability and intelligence, he must be clear about it."
Governor Morris shook his head and said helplessly:
"It should be said that I hope he won't be so loyal to the tyrant."
"Even if you want to be loyal, you should at least know to escape from the North. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to kill him. I can let such a person go once, but I will never let him go a second time."
The governor, who had been talking to himself to the end, raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky. At this moment, his sight seemed to have transcended time and space, and he saw his true monarch - Cromwell!
"Otherwise, I will be unworthy of the Lang family's kindness!"
95 Audrey's Enlightenment (3k)
On the other side, Mozo, who was leaving, looked back thoughtfully while riding on his horse.
He had a hunch that the Governor was hiding something from him, but he couldn't guess what it was yet.
Audrey noticed Mozo's actions and asked curiously:
"Mozo, what's wrong?"
Mozo immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Nothing. By the way, this may be useful to you."
As he said this, he handed the sealed object that he had hidden here to Audrey.
Audrey's eyes sparkled when she saw the exquisite and beautiful bracelet, but she did not take it immediately because she felt it was too expensive.
Of the other two girls, Verdani turned a blind eye to this because she had already gotten something better.
As for the poor lady knight, she was once again inexplicably heartbroken. This was clearly a good thing, so why couldn't she always be happy for others
Mozo didn't think too much about it, but just asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Audrey said hesitantly:
“Isn’t this a bit too expensive?”
When Mozo heard what it was, he immediately shook his head and laughed:
"It's not a very valuable item, but it should be very useful to you because it is a sealed item."
Although there were soldiers around him, if Mozo hadn't told him that this was a first-level sealed object, it wouldn't be surprising for a viscount like him to give a sealed object as a gift.
Audrey originally thought that this was just an ordinary expensive piece of jewelry, but she didn't expect that it was actually a sealed item that she had only heard of before!
In that small gathering in the special zone, Audrey and other wild extraordinary people had basically only heard of a magical item called a seal. As long as the corresponding price was paid, they would be able to conveniently use its powerful abilities.
Very fascinating!
It's a pity that they have basically never taken over the Sealed Object, or rather, they have, but no one else knows about it. Audrey has only heard of it but never seen it.
Therefore, at that time, besides wanting to marry a noble and become a wealthy wife, Audrey's biggest dream was to have her own seal. This would make it much more convenient for her to do anything.
But unexpectedly, there was a sealed object right in front of him.
Audrey still did not take it immediately. Instead, she thought carefully for a while on horseback before asking:
"Is this seal going to be of any use to you, Mozo?"
