All the way south, the more southward the road under your feet, the more you can feel the approaching of midsummer; When I first entered Bain, I could feel the warmth and slight cold of early spring. At present, there are green trees, birds and flowers, and there are many kinds of flowers and leaves along the road.

If it weren't for the flat Avenue extending to the horizon and the street sign just outside the tavern, I'm afraid anyone would get lost.

In addition, the number of pedestrians on the road is gradually decreasing, and there is no trace of caravan carriages passing day and night... It is clearly the hinterland of the Principality of Bain, the most prosperous and fertile land, and the desolation is slightly worse than the border.

If the tavern owner didn't lie, I'm afraid it won't take long to see the patrol and road card of red blood castle.

"So... What do you think?"

The black haired wizard's eyes glanced at Asriel beside him. The young man humming a minor shook his head and followed him like dancing in small steps, but he was always within three steps of Loren. His self intoxicated expression didn't seem to hear his voice at all.

This guy... Has become more and more unscrupulous since he left the capital Golovin. As long as there is no one around, he will come out by himself; Even if they are caught, they will deliberately pretend to be stupid and do not worry that their identity will be exposed.

"Alas?"

Shaking the bangs on his forehead, the boy tilted his head in confusion.

"I mean vampires." Lauren's expression was natural, rather than completely numb: "you should be familiar with this monster."

"Well... I'm not sure. After all, Asriel is just a young vampire." with his small hand behind his back, the boy shook his head helplessly:

"Although it is a very rare high demon, it is not rare; or in areas with specific distribution like ghouls, ogres or trolls, as long as there are warm blooded living creatures, it is normal to appear anywhere."

"So... What are the requirements of vampires in different regions for blood?" Lauren slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "is there any special target, or do you have to take blood regularly?"

"Maybe, after all, there are many picky vampires!"

"So... Are there vampires who pick their mouths and only attack the rich and powerful nobles?" the corner of the black haired wizard's mouth made a little arc.

"Anyone will have their own preferences..." the boy also smiled cunningly: "Dear Loren, what do you think?"

"I quite agree with this view." Lauren nodded and sneered.

In addition to vampires who suck up human blood without leaving any trace, they only attack the rich and powerful dignitaries in the red blood castle, leaving no trace except the corpses at the scene

Dare you make it more obvious?

The blatant plot to kill is enough to prove how unscrupulous the person who started it has almost brought the secret things of eradicating dissidents and assassination to the table!

Obviously, the so-called "vampire" is just a gimmick, a cover to shirk responsibility; The murderer doesn't even expect this cover to deceive anyone. He just needs an excuse for outsiders to accuse themselves and seize power at the same time!

"So... Governor Byrne?" Asriel asked with a smile.

"Otherwise, who else can it be?" Lauren asked, but it was more like asking himself:

"Red blood castle is the territory of the Turin family. They won't do such stupid things that damage their reputation - if it weren't for them, it would be the governor of Byrne!"

"Moreover, there is one thing I care about." the black haired wizard said calmly: "since the governor's office has been vigorously cracking down on the rumors, blocking the roads and forbidding foreigners to travel alone, why does the tavern owner know so much?"

"Hmm..." Asriel looked up at the sky and showed a thoughtful expression: "so... Someone from the governor's office is secretly spreading rumors?"

"That's the only explanation." Lauren nodded:

"On the one hand, he tried his best to blockade and make a business appearance, so that the countess had nothing to say; on the other hand, he secretly spread news, so that the riots and tragedies of vampires could be known to the whole Bain people - I really can't think who would benefit from this except governor Bain!"

"Whether vampires are true or not, they are only the means they use to suppress and destroy the reputation of the Turin family, so that the powerful nobles in red blood castle can see the powerlessness of the Turin family when facing problems and their weakness in front of the governor's office!"

"If Charlotte Turin can't come up with a solution as soon as possible, or just fight face-to-face with the governor's office... In a short time, the Turin family will completely disappoint all the nobles in the red blood castle. In order to protect their lives, they can only turn to the governor's office representing the authority of the Empire!"

"What should I do?"

"It depends on which step she is willing to take and how many people can support her." the black haired wizard raised his eyebrows: "but anyway, vampires are the top priority now and must be solved as soon as possible."

"Ah..." Asriel looked at him and seemed to understand something: "Lauren is going to help her, isn't she?"

The black haired wizard sighed with a dignified tone: "this is also a matter of no way."

At present, the commotion in red blood castle and even the whole principality of Byrne is obviously a sign that governor Byrne is ready to attack the Turin family and even seize power - if the Turin family can't survive this difficulty, it will be unacceptable to Loren himself and Brandon, who is far away in the imperial capital!

Brandon de sallion sent the black haired wizard to Byrne because he could not lose the important help and foreign aid of the Turin family;

I'm afraid little Yoder who went to eboden has met master corona. Loren must not wait for eboden to go south to confront Yoder's chamber of Commerce, but have to face the monolithic governor Byrne's house!

Of course, there is something more important, but it can't be said clearly... That is the right to speak.

I'm a newcomer alone. Although I bear the Turin family name, I'm afraid not many people take themselves seriously. On the contrary, I'll be more wary because I'm an envoy of the prince's highness; Before seizing power, you need to prove your importance to the Turin family and even the whole red blood castle.

Without the right to speak, he will get nothing in the next series of events, even making wedding clothes for others... It may not matter in the past, but now Loren can't accept this kind of thing.

The plan that starts in your own hands, of course, should be under your full control and end according to your own wishes.

Therefore, whether the countess who always has no good face for herself can solve the current problem, Loren must find a way to intervene in this matter and end it in the shortest time!

Asriel remained silent, watching the dark haired wizard's changing expression and slightly raised corners of his mouth, and raised an indescribable smile on his young face

While Loren was still thinking about what to do next, the sound of hurried horse hoofs came from a distance and rolled up a dust in the open field.

Cavalry?

In the bright midday sun, Loren, standing in the middle of the road, raised his head and looked into the distance with his dark pupils.

On the horizon at the end of the line of sight, in the shade, a team of knights dressed in full armor and cloaks galloped, with brightly colored dovetail flags hanging on their high guns, and two handed swords full of one person high on the saddle of Gaoqiao.

High headed war horses, plate chain armour, lances, swords, and neat lines of heavy riders galloping through the fields - a picture rarely seen elsewhere is the most familiar scenery of the Principality of Byrne.

Only in the Principality of Byrne, every adult noble youth must swear allegiance to the Lord as a Ranger knight and shoulder the duty of guarding the land - generally speaking, seeing the patrol figures of Ranger Knights proves that they are very close to the castle.

Sure enough... On the hillside not far away, a flag of a golden lion with a black background was hung on the top of the spire and fluttered slowly in the warm summer wind; The shadow of the city gate can be seen under the spire.

"Red blood castle, I'm coming!"
