In the north of Teda Noel, within the Duchy of Non, one of the four northern countries, and in the hill viscount's lord.

The full moon hanging high shines the white moonlight on the earth, and the moon shines on the towering castle made of huge rocks. In this world without entertainment, in addition to special days, both civilians and nobles are used to going to bed early, and the hill castle is also pitch black. The only room on the third floor is lit with yellow and faint candlelight. The only room with candlelight is the study of the hill viscount, Kuke Eugene.

The Duchy of Non is the lowest priest among the emperors and lords. The territory is limited and there are not many great nobles. Apart from the royal family, there are only two Earl families and eight viscount families. The Viscount of the Hill, Kuk Eugene, is one of the eight viscounts.

As the absolute top leader of the Principality, Kuke Eugene, a hill viscount, has always had a good reputation. In the eyes of the Principal nobles, he is a gentle and easy-going scholar, and in the eyes of the common people, he is a generous and wise noble master.

As before, Cook Eugene read in the study of his castle with candlelight on his desk. With his saliva tips, he picked up a page of yellow parchment and turned the pages into the book. He was immersed in the knowledge recorded in the book.

Dingdong jingle ~!

Suddenly, the bell on the wall of the study room rang because someone pulled the rope connecting the bell.

Cook Eugene frowned slightly. On weekdays, the servants in the castle reminded him to eat with a bell, but at this time, it was absolutely impossible to eat.

"Strange, is there a mouse in the castle? It seems that the housekeeper needs to sell a cat," murmured to himself, and he continued to read.

However, after a while, the bell rang again.

After being interrupted twice in succession, Cook Eugene's brow frowned even deeper: "Butler! Butler! Go and see what's going on with this meal bell!"

However, the Viscount's shouting was not answered, and there was no sound of insects around him. He felt something was wrong and got up and picked up the candlestick on the table.

Crunch ~.

The study door was opened, and he walked out of the study and went to the castle corridor, stepped down the carpet and walked towards the restaurant, where the other end of the bell was tied.

In the dark castle, the middle-aged nobleman walked cautiously with candlelight in his hand. The candlelight reflected his shadow on the castle walls. The shadow was huge and weird, like a twisted devil.

Step by step, he walked carefully towards the restaurant. In this terrible quiet environment, this environment that could not be familiar with made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Suddenly, he saw a figure sitting on the bench at the end of the long mahogany dining table purchased from a large sum of money, and was shocked.

"Who?!Who is there?!Guards!Guards!"

"Don't call, Lord Viscount Cooke Eugen," Surprisingly, the voice was crisp and pleasant. Obviously, the owner of the voice was a woman. Judging from the voice alone, the owner of the voice must be of good looks.

"Now, except for the two of us, everyone else is asleep in this castle."

Holding the candlelight with one hand and on the sword she carried with her, Cook Eugene stared at the person sitting in the chair. The uninvited guest was covered in his hood, with only the long red hair exposed outside.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the urge to draw his sword. The man in black robe could invade the hills silently and deal with all the guards in the castle without his own awareness. His strength must be beyond his ability.

"Who is your Excellency? What is the purpose of visiting late at night?"

"Who am I, it doesn't matter," the figure with long red hair still sat on the chair, without any intention of getting up.

She continued: "It's my purpose that matters."

After a pause, the mysterious red-haired woman then spoke: "Vissue Cooke Eugen from the hillside, a kind and wise aristocratic scholar, who would have thought that you, who is elegant and easy-going, was secretly the largest smuggler and slave trader in the Principality of Non."

The mysterious woman in black robe told her biggest secret, and Cooke Eugene's face suddenly changed drastically, and she almost drew her sword and slashed.

But he had seen strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down and stared at the man in black and said coldly: "Tell me, my friend, what is your purpose? I think you tried your best to investigate my handle and came to me at this time. It would definitely not be as simple as chatting with me. I can give you the best money."

"money?"

"No, no, you may have misunderstood. I'm not looking for you for money."

The mysterious black robe girl continued, "I just want to ask you to do a favor. Something will happen in the Principality of Norn in the near future. At that time, you only need to make the right choice, which will be good for you and me. How about this proposal?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"No, in fact, besides death, you only have the option to cooperate with us. Otherwise, the consequences will be even more serious than you think, not only you, but your family..., hehehehe."

After laughing a few times, the man in black robe disappeared on the chair. Cooke Eugene's pupils shrank. With his high-level warrior's strength, he couldn't see clearly how the man in black robe left.

"By the way, I'll take your badge away," he didn't know where the sound came from, and the sound rang out accurately in Cook Eugene's ears. His face changed and he touched his chest. He didn't touch anything except the soft fabric.

The man in black robe actually took away the badge he hung on his chest without knowing it. He could take away the badge without his master's awareness and could easily kill others. A fine cold sweat penetrated from behind him.

Under the dual threat of the handle and the strength of the mysterious man, he dared not have any dissatisfaction.

At this time, over the hill castle, Luna Bloodfeather stared at the deadly castle below, took out a pen and a piece of paper from the dimensional bag, and the paper also listed the list of some nobles in the Principality of Non.

The wizard hand held a pen and drew a hook behind the name of Viscount of Hills - Kuk Eugene, and Luna Bloodfeather breathed a sigh of relief.

"The hill collar is done, well, I'll look below, the blue vine collar..."

"Martial artillery dealers, slave traders, smugglers, spies from other countries..., this Principality of Non is really bad," murmured to himself, the harp flapping its wings and flew across the night sky.

After years of layout, the Principality of Non has been penetrated by the [Red Dagger] and has mastered a large number of nobles. A considerable number of people have already worked for the [Red Dagger]. Of course, most of them do not know who they work for.

Under the will of the Red Dragon, the gear organized by the [Red Dagger] rotates rapidly, launching the layout accumulated over the years.

Without any surprise, a dark tide swept across the entire Principality of Non, and things developed according to the will of the Red Dragon.

Because of an "accident", the Crown Prince None, the eldest prince and another strong competitor to the throne, the Six Prince, broke out in a conflict. The two sides completely tore their faces apart. The supporters themselves launched a fight in secret, and the entire Duchy of None was in full swing.

The situation was beyond everyone's expectations, including the Red Dragon and the old king of the Duchy of None fell ill in bed by the fight between his sons. The "filial sons" stopped fighting openly and secretly became more intense.

Gradually, the old king's illness became more and more serious. The eldest prince and the six princes each formed a faction, winning over all the brothers, tangled up with their gangs, and launched an attack on the throne.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fate of the Principality of Non has reached a crossroads. No one can say whether it is the crown prince who succeeds in succession, or whether the sixth prince defeats his brother and laughs to the end.

Assassination, Infernal Affairs, etc. were staged one after another on the land of the Duke of Non, and the situation in the Duke of Non became increasingly turbulent.

At the same time, secretly, the second prince supported by the Red Dragon took advantage of the brothers' utmost care to launch a long-storage arrangement to "wind" the nobles of the principality, and their power grew rapidly.

Although things have some minor deviations, they are generally similar to what Red Dragon designed.

In the increasingly fierce conflict, the eldest prince died in an assassination. The six princes' forces were greatly injured in the counterattack of the remaining forces of the eldest prince. The princes who could not see the throne had a strange intention.

The princes' unfaithful intentions broke out after the old king died of illness. In the end, the second prince, who had obtained the support of half of the country's great nobles, won the crown with lightning speed and became the new king of the Duchy of Non.

……………………………………

In Red Fort, Jose sat high above the throne, and below stood [Kingdom Prime Minister] - Ergou, [Red Dagger] leader - Van Cliff and the harp's family - Luna Blood Feather.

"Your Majesty, according to your plan, Belden succeeded in becoming the new king of the Principality of Norn."

"Congratulations to your Majesty! The commercial road plan is no longer accessible! The rise of the Forsy Kingdom will be unstoppable!"

“…”

The three relatives were full of praise, no wonder they were happy. Everyone never expected things to go so smoothly.

The old king Nonn fell ill and died of illness. Otherwise, according to the original plan, it would take at least one year to support the second prince.

"Everyone! Don't be careless!"

Contrary to the family of the message, Jose did not feel much about it: "Remember, the victory of the Principality of None is nothing. Our opponent was never the little Principality of None, but the Witch Council behind the Four Northlands, and the challenge has just begun."

"We did a very good job this time, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be some clues left. When the Witch Council reacts, we will face real challenges."

Seeing the serious and nervous expressions of the family members, Jose was satisfied and arrogant soldiers would be defeated. The Kingdom of Forse is not afraid of the challenges of the Witch Council, provided that the family members will not be arrogant and will be selfless.

"Although I have achieved success in the Principality of Norn, I must not be careless. The Northland Witch Council has controlled the Northland for many years, and the Northland Four Kingdoms are their foundation. Those women must react fiercely to this matter. We must be prepared for war."

After a turn of words, he spoke: "However, according to my inference, there will be no direct conflict between us and the Witch Council. After all, there is a threat of the Dragon Blessing Cult."

"As soon as the trade route is opened, iron and food will continue to flow into the four countries' markets. At that time, no matter how unwilling the North Witch Council is, it will only eat these hard currency from the war period. This is not determined by their personal preferences, but by actual needs."

"Of course, secret struggles are indispensable."

After achieving such a victory, Red Dragon would not say all disheartened words. He encouraged him: "Everyone has done a very good job in this operation of the Principality of Non. I am very satisfied with it. You deserve praise."

“…”

After rewarding the three relatives, Jose signaled the three to retreat.

However, Luna Blood Feather stayed, and she stood in the hall, looking at the Red Dragon on the throne in a tangled manner.

Jose looked at the harp below. Among the mages in the Kingdom of Forse, in addition to Red Dragon and Ergou, Luna Blood Feather was the strongest, especially after eliminating obsession and breaking through to the master level, the harp progressed faster than Ergou. If it weren't for the double-master's pervert, it would be not necessarily the same as Luna and Ergou.

Red Dragon naturally attaches great importance to such a legendary seed player as a pillar of the kingdom.

"Luna, what else do you have?"

After a pause, Luna Xueyu said, "Master, Anna came to visit me a few days ago."

"Well, that's it," Jose's eyes couldn't help but feel nostalgia flashed through his eyes when he heard the familiar name.

Anna is a member of the four-person team searching for the elves and the druid mentor of the elves. Later, the four-person team fell into the hands of the Red Dragon and was forced to sign a family contract. Later, she was asked back by the dark forest.

It is worth mentioning that during the period when the elf druid, Anna lived in the heart of Molten Fire, Luna Blood Feather formed a deep friendship with her.

On the one hand, both are women, and their strengths are not much different, and they have common topics. On the other hand, Luna Xueyu has always wanted to be an elves and has a good impression of the elves. Anna, an outsider, also needs the care of the harpwoman.

Therefore, the interracial friendship between Luna Blood Feather and the Elf Druid is natural.

After a moment, Jose withdrew from his nostalgia and spoke, "Is she here to heal the deep dark areas?"

"Yes, Anna is now a master druid. She was selected by the Moon Elf Princess and led the druids in the dark forest to participate in the healing of the withered soil."

Jose nodded. According to the agreement, the druids of Forsy Kingdom are the main force in healing the withered soil, and major forces provide legendary powerhouses to protect the safety. Of course, if there are druids who are willing to help, no one will think there are too many helpers.

"So what did she ask you for?"

"Haha, your majesty, that's right. Anna invites me to go to the deep dark area and to be her company."

It's a woman after all...

Jose didn't think about it: "I'll allow it, so you can enjoy the holiday with peace of mind."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luna Xueyu flew away happily.

Without taking this episode to heart, Jose continued to deal with his own affairs and picked up the memorial placed on the table.

After many monsters in the Red Nest Crypt joined the group, the population of the Forse Kingdom suddenly exceeded tens of millions, and government affairs suddenly increased. Although government affairs can be handed over to their relatives, Honglong didn't mind dealing with them in his spare time.
