Allen couldn't help but patted himself on the face. Iris turned out to be the daughter of Tsuta flower? That willful and domineering young lady turned out to be the Duke of the Empire? He had to admit, the news was shocking enough. Then he looked up at Shana: "You really know a lot."
"If we can't even get this information, why should we bring down Mason." Shanna sighed: "Earl Allen, the Naga tribe is very weak, at least compared to humans and the Shadow Principality, we are like A group of inconspicuous small fish. To survive in the cracks of these behemoths, there must be some means of survival, right?"
Allen nodded, it seems that intelligence is the means of survival for the Naga people. Naga women are famous far and wide. If there are tribesmen who are willing to make sacrifices like Shanna, most of the big shots are willing to be in the house, and these are important news channels. In addition, there are naturally some sources of intelligence that Alan did not know, otherwise Shanna would not be able to know such details about the events of the empire.
"Well, even if Iris is Duke Tsubaki. But Midian, the ruins of the old Great Wall, blocked the way. The little favor that Duke Tsubaki owed me is almost enough. It's probably hard for me to convince the Boleyn family to send out two top ten saints. Let the strong help us."
"She will." Shana laughed: "Don't forget, Grand Duke Tutahua encountered a terrible attack when he was in Sardinia."
Allen was startled, and lost his voice: "You mean, the attack was planned by Mason?"
"Otherwise? Do you think that anyone can accurately grasp the whereabouts of Grand Duke Tutahua, and bribed Queen Scorpion, one of the ten saints, to come forward and stop the two strong men of the Boleyn family, causing Elizabeth to almost die in Sardinia?" .Even if Duke Tsubaki doesn’t care about your rescue, the fact that Mason wants to kill her is enough for the Boleyn family to point their swords at Mason.” Shanna turned sideways and said : "In order to help the Grand Duke make up his mind, I have already sent the collected evidence to the Grand Duke's Mansion. Besides, it is also good for the Boleyn family to settle Mason. Over the years, the Boleyn family has been suppressed by Mason so much. .”
Allen doesn't know as much about these empire secrets as Shanna. However, it can be heard from her words that Shana, or the Naga tribe, already has a complete plan for how to bring down Mason. This plan probably started laying out the layout when they stole Eric's ledger in Tiger Shark Port, and now, all Allen can do is help from the side.
Now that a consensus has been reached with the Naga tribe, it is naturally impossible for Allen to reap the fruits of victory without doing anything, so he said: "I understand, if I have the opportunity to meet Iris. No, if Grand Duke Tsutahua, I will Do your best to convince her to join Mason."
"Elizabeth is in the imperial capital. I guess she will look for you in a short time." Shana blinked, obviously she knew something that Alan didn't know, but she didn't intend to tell Alan: "Okay , if there are any new plans in the future, I will order someone to inform you. By the way, Earl Allen, the Royal Spring Hunt is just around the corner. I wish you and Your Highness Julian the best. To be honest, I don’t like that Howson, I Seeing too much in his eyes, not just ambition for the throne."
Allen nodded.
Leaving the castle of Dawn,
Take the carriage all the way back to Julian's manor. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard the commotion in the manor. Alan walked into the square and saw a row of strange Mosasaurus knights. He knew who was coming immediately.
Besides Naga Princess Lily, who else would swagger and recruit a team of mosasaur knights as guards in Olisgari? Sure enough, as soon as he entered the lobby of the main building, a snow-white fist floated towards him. Allen smiled slightly, without dodging or avoiding, but puffed out his chest to meet him. There were a few exclamations in the hall immediately, the fist opened suddenly, changed from punching to pressing, and lightly pressed a palm on Allen, and the opponent floated back with the force. When it fell to the ground, Lily said with an angry face: "Do you want to die that much? Or look down on me, as if I can't kill you with one punch?"
Allen said with a smile: "That's because I am sure His Highness will not hurt my life."
"Shameless! You humans all have this virtue!" Lily stomped her feet, her face full of anger. It doesn't scare people, but it makes people feel cute. At least Alan wants to go up and pinch her little face. Of course, considering the mosasaurus knights outside, in order to prevent Julian's manor from becoming ruins, Alan also thought about it in his heart.
At this time, the two sisters Naili and Milu in the hall came up to rescue Alan. Although Lily was still stern, there was no anger in her eyes. She lightly tugged the twin sisters' ears and hummed: "You fellows with arms turned outwards, you have only been with this villain for a long time, and you have started to turn towards others."
"I'm not a bad person." Allen said with a look of injustice.
Lily gave him a blank look: "Abducting five knights from me is not a villain."
"That's..." Allen wanted to say that it was a deal, but he swallowed the words. After all, Naili and the others are no longer commodities for him in a certain transaction, but comrades and partners who can entrust their backs to them.
Lily squinted her eyes, as if she had noticed the subtle change in Allen's heart. She snorted and said, "You're not talking nonsense, seeing that you gave Nelly and the others good armor, it's a pity for them. Nelly just said that you saved her. Okay, You're a little better than any human I've ever known."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."
"Come on, have you met Sister Shana?" Lily's tone became a little heavy: "How is she?"
"Princess looks good."
"Not bad!" Lily found a chair angrily and sat down: "My sister should be with me, how can she stand being surrounded by those humans all day long. Especially those men, they look at my sister like ..." Princess Naga couldn't give a specific description, so she just waved her fist and said, "Anyway, it's annoying! Isn't it just a Mason? When I become an adult, I can beat him to the ground. I need it Marry yourself out?"
Allen's heart moved, and he said: "Princess Shana and Her Highness have half-brothers, but they are also considered royals?"
"I know what you want to say. Of course my sister is also of the royal family. But she is of mixed blood. She has the characteristics of our race, but she is also half of human blood. So my sister became an adult earlier than me, but her combat power is only twenty-five or six..."
Allen thought that this is the case. No wonder the Naga clan had to obtain the protection of the empire through political marriage. The fundamental reason is that there is no strong man in the clan at present. Lily will naturally count as one when she becomes an adult, but now, she is still a child, so Shanna has to enter Dawn Castle.
"Princess Shanna is also for the big
Not to mention that even without Mason, the Naga tribe still has many enemies. I dare not say that her actions must be correct, but at least, before you, Your Highness, become an adult, the Naga clan will not be in too great a crisis. "
Lily shook her head and said: "Forget it, don't talk about such bad things. I think your place is not bad. I lived here before I left Oliska! Although your king asked me to live in In the palace, but it’s too boring there, and my sister can’t see each other all day. It’s still more comfortable here with you, and I haven’t seen Nari and the others for a long time, so I have a lot to talk about!”
"This... His Royal Highness Julian will definitely feel extremely honored." Allen laughed dryly.
Of course Lily would not pay attention to Julian's feelings, and even telling Allen was not discussing with him, it was just a notice. Princess Naga jumped up and stood on the chair and patted Allen on the shoulder, then took Nelly and the others to choose the room she liked. Allen can only spread his hands and smile bitterly, even if Julian is here, he will be helpless, after all, Lily is now a relative of the emperor.
In the evening, Julian arranged a semi-private banquet for Allen. In addition to the second prince and his family, the big businessman Olisgarry attended the banquet. Rein led Edward to deal with these merchants, and Edward took the opportunity to reveal the north-south trade route, which immediately aroused the interest of the merchants. On the other side, Allen and Julian hid in the quiet room after meeting several important people.
Julian poured his wine and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness Lily has lived in your house?"
"Sorry, I didn't get His Highness's approval first."
"Where is it, I have met Her Royal Highness Lily. With her personality, she will not ask for my approval." Julian smiled bitterly: "That person is even more domineering than Howson."
Allen laughed and said, "She does have the right to be domineering."
"Yes, once the Naga royal family reaches adulthood, they are at least as strong as Midian. It's a pity that the number of royal families is pitifully rare, and each generation is only one or two, and the infancy is so long, otherwise there will be no such thing as our human race and What happened to the Shadow Principality?"
"The Naga people don't like to live on land." Allen was not worried about this.
Julian didn't refute, and handed a glass of wine to Allen and said, "There are still a few days before the Royal Spring Hunting. Later, Rein will give you a detailed explanation of the rules of the Spring Hunting and the details that need attention. I only have one request, Alan Lun, I hope we can win this spring hunt. You don’t know, I’ve been holding back my stomach for a long time!”
Allen said simply: "Unless they can find the ten holy men, or bring in an army. Otherwise, the leader of this spring hunting must belong to His Highness."
"Okay!" Julian said with a cheerful smile, "With your words, I feel relieved."
At this time, Rein pushed the door and entered, Julian put down his glass and said, "I'll go greet the people outside, Alan, just ask Rein if you need anything."
After watching the second prince leave, Rein and Allen took their seats. The former sighed: "Earl Allen may not know, but because of you, I finally got out under the second prince's hand. If I hadn't recommended you for meritorious service, I would not be qualified to appear here at a place like this, let alone sit This room."
"Really? Then you have to buy me a drink." Allen laughed.
Rein said sincerely: "Don't talk about a drink, even if I drink it to a pauper, I will admit it!"
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
