The Governor nodded calmly at this, as they had already anticipated this.
For a branch that split off hundreds of years before the founding of the Lang family, it is already good enough that it can still have a blood connection today. How can we expect the bloodline to be even purer
But this is not important. What is important is what Gawain and the others are thinking.
So the Governor considered his words and asked:
"So what do you guys think?"
Gawain fell silent. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but nothing came out.
After a long silence, Gao Wen finally sighed and said in front of the Governor:
"He can only be considered a relative of the Wolf Family. He is also very timid. I know that we should be more cautious in observing whether he is worthy of handing over the entire North Territory."
"But. But!"
Having said this, Gawain lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly:
"But I know that not only me, but also my fellow soldiers outside, we can no longer tolerate the rule of that tyrant!"
"Three hundred years ago, at the most critical moment, we retreated, and have been retreating ever since. Now there are only a few steps left for us to retreat."
"At first, we could still deceive ourselves into believing the tyrant's promise of a satisfactory answer, but now we can no longer convince ourselves with this reason."
Gawain raised his head, his expression did not change at all, but the Governor clearly felt that Gawain exuded the sadness and powerlessness of a hero in his twilight years.
"The most important thing is that I don't have many years left to live. Once I die, the North will have no chance of turning the tables. I trust the loyalty of Gnas, but he is too reckless and prone to acting on impulse. Not to mention Halls. Ever since we bowed our heads that year, he has isolated himself in the Spring Keep. He was even unwilling to come to the White Keep today."
"And you, my old friend, if I am gone, who will trust you? No one in the North will trust the governor of the tyrant except me."
"In this case, who can take on the responsibility? I admit that there are many smart people among my colleagues, but they lack strength and influence."
"If you want to rebel against the tyrant and make the North independent, you must have a High Sequence to take the lead and have a strong presence!"
“Otherwise, even if the tyrant doesn’t care, Heather and the Northern Business Alliance, these two shameful hyenas will tear off the flesh of the North!”
The Governor nodded, and then asked seriously:
"So are you sure? Are you really going to declare independence?"
Gao Wen turned his head and looked at the door behind him, nodded and said:
"Yes, we want to let the Wolf family's flag fly throughout the North again!"
The Governor came to Gawain's side:
"So what's the exact time?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but we have been privately preparing for this day over the years, so it won't take too long, only three or four days at most."
"What about the three regiments that Isabelle sent to the North?"
"Their soldiers and middle and lower-level officers are all from our northern border. Once they start a rebellion, we can immediately capture the three generals in charge of the corps with a little guidance!"
"Where are Gnas and Hols?"
"The White Horse Defense, led by Gnas, has made it clear that they do not approve of that child. They will not assist us, but they will not help the tyrant either."
"As for Hols, I will pay him a visit in person later, but I don't think I can convince him, but he will not help the tyrant either."
The Governor expressed some concern upon hearing this:
"But if that happens, we will lose two demigods and their respective powers."
"That's not the case. They will still be stationed in their respective areas. The Northern Business Alliance and the elves will at least not think of taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
"But after all, we have lost two strong arms."
"Yes, it would be nice if the child was not just a member of a side branch of the clan."
Gao Wen finally expressed his agreement and regret.
The Governor also suddenly shook his head and said:
"I often think that it would be better if the Grand Duke was not so self-righteous. At least then, the North would not be troubled by the issue of succession all the time."
Gao Wen also said:
"If that is the case, the young master will stay in the North forever. In this way, even if the tyrant succeeds, the North will never bow down."
They bowed their heads back then because, firstly, their old master certainly did not want the empire to be divided and in turmoil; secondly, it was the Queen's promise; and thirdly, many nobles and officers at the time were confused about the future because there was no heir to the Wolf family.
They could fight all the way for revenge, but what would happen afterwards? Who would rule the entire Loran or the North after the war? Apart from the Wolf family and the royal family, was there anyone else qualified? And in this case, were they fighting to avenge the Wolf family, or were they becoming the spear of some ambitious person without knowing it
But at this point, the Governor suddenly said:
"But speaking of heirs, Isabel is often discussed and admonished by the nobles of Fog City for not having any offspring."
Gao Wen said disapprovingly:
"It's a good thing that the vicious woman has no offspring. Fortunately, she has high standards. Otherwise, I would have thought of ways to strangle the little bastard and the old bastard to death!"
His master was killed by the tyrant himself, leaving no offspring. Under such circumstances, how could he tolerate the tyrant's happy family
It would be best not to let him know that the tyrant has any illegitimate children or something like that, otherwise, even if he loses all his face, he will do everything he can to strangle those two demons, one big and one small, to death with his own hands!
Mozo, who was marching, suddenly shivered for no reason.
Then I couldn’t help but think in my heart, is this the guy who was so badly cheated by me scolding me behind my back again

While Gawain was having a secret conversation with the Governor, in the hall below, the kind-looking old man was communicating with the strong man mentally by relying on the old man's extraordinary ability.
"Your Highness. If nothing unexpected happens, Gawain will certainly support our pawn and declare independence within the next few days."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. And I just saw Gawain suddenly leave the table. And seeing that he was gone for such a long time, I can even conclude that he must have gone to meet some important person who cannot be known to outsiders."
"And this important person must be Queen Isabelle's confidant in the North! And how many such people are there in the North that would make the lion Gawain so cautious?"
The old man smiled confidently and said:
"So I infer that this person is either the Governor of the Northern Territory or one of the three generals, or even several of them. Anyway, if they don't win over these people, they must have a way to check and balance them."
Hearing this, the sturdy man who was honored as His Highness by the old man also laughed and said:
"It seems that these old Wolfs in the North are still very powerful."
"After all, he is a subordinate of the butcher. If you are not smart and capable, he will not be in his eyes."
But immediately, the old man continued to say what he had repeated many times before:
"But your highness, as the heir of His Majesty, you really shouldn't be so close to the front line!"
The strong man didn't care:
"Let's not talk about my death. I still have a brother. Even if both of us die, my father can still have a few more children at his age. But if I, a bastard, want to become the heir to the empire!"
"I must perform sufficiently amazing feats! And this time, it is an opportunity that I cannot let go!"
The strong man was actually very good, otherwise he would not have gotten such an important opportunity and stayed with the old man, but this was not enough, because he was an illegitimate child. His mother was just a little palace maid, and he had no maternal power. He himself was his only support.
The emperor of the Hesser Empire was just an unlucky man who had just ascended the throne three hundred years ago and whose throne was unstable, so he could easily deceive a large number of nobles and become independent.
But three hundred years later, he not only had two outstanding sons, but also managed Heather prosperously!
This family is extremely outstanding!
"Besides, doesn't Isabelle have no children at all? But considering her position, hasn't she seen anyone she likes in all these years?"
The strong man was a little unbelievable. The monarchs of the empire, regardless of gender, would basically try to expand the size of their offspring as much as possible to avoid the predicament of the Wolf family. Otherwise, not only would the lord die, but even the subordinates would not know who to fight for.
But this woman, Isabel, has not had a single scandal since she ascended the throne. In the past, the survival of her family and country was at stake, so she did not have the leisure time.
Now that Luo Landu has succeeded in its revival, why is she still like this
The old man was also a little surprised about this, but he didn't think much about it, because Isabel was different from their emperor, she was a Sequence One!
Although the eternal life and immortality of angels are not as perfect as those of true God, they have truly transcended the constraints of lifespan.
A person who is immortal and has eternal life naturally does not need to worry too much about the issue of offspring. And it is indeed difficult for high-sequence beings to have children.
As if he felt that he had won, the old man suddenly laughed and said:
"But speaking of this, I recently heard a very interesting rumor,"
"Oh, what did you hear?"
The sturdy man was a little curious. Although the old man looked kind, he was actually a very serious person. The rumor that even he found interesting really piqued the sturdy man's interest.
"Did you know that Isabelle recently sent a powerful lord to the North?"
"Yes, I think his name is Mozo Klein?"
"Yes, it's this Mozo Klein. Did you know that my informant in Fog City told me that many nobles in Fog City are discussing privately whether this Mozo Klein is the illegitimate son of Queen Isabel?"
Perhaps because they were both illegitimate children, the strong man couldn't help but pay some attention to him:
"And what is the truth?"
The old man smiled and replied:
"In fact, it seems that he is just an orphan of unknown origin."
After hearing this, the strong man said with a little disappointment and a little amusement:
"That's right. With Isabel's vision and status, who in Roland could she be interested in? If he is really her illegitimate child, then it would be better to go a step further and say that he is the illegitimate child of Queen Isabel and Lord Cromwell of the North!"
At this point, the strong man and the old man couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
"Your Highness, you are such a wonderful person! The illegitimate child of Isabel and Cromwell! Hahaha, this is such an interesting idea!"
Perhaps it was too funny, so the old man couldn't help but make the assumption:
"If that is really the offspring of Isabel and Cromwell, then I think we don't need to fight for the independence of the North. We can just admit defeat and cede the land!"
"Indeed, indeed, this is so funny, so funny that if it comes true, we will all become a complete joke. Hahahaha!"
-
On the other side of the riverlands, Verdani, who finally remembered the meaning of the secret code from her childhood memories, approached Mozo with anxious and puzzled eyes.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Mozo fell into a long period of confusion:
"You mean that means the heir of the Wolf family has been found???"
97 Mozo noticed (4k)
"Yes, young master. The secret message means that they have found the heir of the Wolf family!"
The roses are blooming. This is the secret code that the nobles of the northern border had agreed upon three hundred years ago, and it was passed down orally by their respective heads of families. As for the words of the Goris family, there were also people who knew about it earlier, but as time went by. The descendants of the Goris family died unexpectedly one by one.
As a result, there is only one Verdani left now. And the meaning of this secret language is naturally that it has long been extinct in the Gorris family.
The reason Verdani knew this was because when she was a child and was raised by Gawain Seda, she accidentally overheard him mumbling to himself after drinking at the door of his study.
Otherwise, Verdani would not know what this secret code meant.
At this point, Wei Erdani couldn't help but be stunned. It didn't look like they had found the young master. Could it be that they had found a fake one? ?
What Verdani thought of, Mozo naturally thought of as well. He himself had no external connection with the Wolf family. If anything, the only connection was Verdani.
Therefore, it was unlikely that the other party had found him. He was even more aware that as Cromwell, he definitely did not have any offspring or bloodline. Since he could only watch the dream opera without any sensory feedback, he gave up the idea of doing good things in the dream opera at the very beginning.
Because that is definitely not enjoyment, but torture, the most terrible torture! Mozo doesn't want to be tortured, and he doesn't want to seek torture himself.
However, it is also because in many dream operas, Mozzo is really able to remain calm and composed, and he is too used to getting along with girls, so at this moment, he often unconsciously makes many intimate actions in the eyes of ordinary people.
At the same time, the Wolf family at that time was left with only him, just like Verdani now.
So in this case, how did the other party find the so-called descendants of the Wolf family
This is definitely not a simple mistake, because there are so many ways to verify bloodline. If the other party can handle this.
No matter what the situation is or what the reason is, it only shows that the other party has great ambitions!
With this thought in mind, Mozo stood up and asked:
"Virdani, are you sure you remembered it correctly?"
Wei Erdani, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, immediately lowered her head and said affirmatively:
"Of course, young master, if I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I dare to tell you?"
