Ironwood Castle
In a secluded garden.
After the arrival of spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming in the garden of Ironwood Castle. After all, Richard is also a marquis, and the Hunter family will not be as unscrupulous as before.
The gardens are pruned and designed by professional workers. There is no extensive management like before. It does still look like that.
“Lord Aragorn, your tea.”
Aragorn sat leisurely on a chair in the garden, and Hypatia next to him was ordered by him to make a pot of tea.
After being trained by Aragorn for a period of time, Hypatia’s tea-making skills have improved somewhat. At least she knows how to filter the leaves without getting a cup full of tea residue.
There is a reason why Hypatia is willing to serve Aragorn like a maid. In addition to ordering her to do her work, Aragorn can also give Hypatia pointers on her martial arts practice from time to time.
With Aragorn’s vision and level, Hypatia can benefit a lot from just a few casual suggestions. If she can’t resist Aragorn, just play the role of a maid. Aragorn will always act according to his mood. Give me some pointers.
“Well, there has been progress.”
Aragorn picked up the tea handed by Hypatia, blew on it, took a sip and commented.
If Richard saw this, he would definitely complain. You have a body made mainly of lotus roots and you don’t even have a taste system. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here? You are also drinking my best tea. It is a waste of resources.
Fortunately, Hypatia didn’t know Aragorn’s physical condition. Aragorn’s refining level was quite high. A pile of lotus roots and a few special materials collected by Richard made the body look like… Almost no different from normal people.
“Lord Richard.”
“Lord Richard.”
Just as Aragorn was enjoying his leisurely afternoon tea time, there was a noise outside,
Richard always makes some noise when he comes back. At least everyone passing by must show respect to him.
As Richard walked in, he saw Aragorn drinking tea in the garden. This guy was basically familiar with the Hunter family, because everyone knew that he was a guest brought back by Richard and treated him well. As a sign of respect, if you ask for anything that is not excessive, you will basically be satisfied.
For example, things like ruining Richard’s tea and honey.
But at this moment, Richard didn’t care about complaining about the other party’s waste of his good things. After coming in and seeing Aragorn, the two looked at each other. With a look from Richard, the two foxes reached a consensus.
“Hypatia, please go out first. I have something to discuss with the Marquis.”
Hypatia knew that the two of them might have to talk about something that would be inconvenient for others to hear, so she silently exited the garden and did not dare to rely on her own strength to eavesdrop. One was unnecessary, and the other was. The water in Aragorn was too deep, and she could not guarantee that she would not be discovered by Aragorn.
“Your Majesty Aragorn, we are going to be in trouble.”
“Huh? Don’t just come to me with your troubles. You know, I can’t help you in this state.”
In your current state, you can still keep an earth-level master in check? The old fox just doesn’t let go of the hawk when he sees the rabbit.
But this time it was up to Aragorn to paddle, and Richard had no obligation to carry out this task alone.
“This time it’s not my trouble, it’s the information about the Rising Sun Cult. Are they here for you?”
“Huh? The Cult of the Rising Sun?”
Aragorn, who originally looked indifferent, suddenly sat up straight and his face became serious.
“Are you sure?”
“Nine times out of ten, sure.”
“How did you know?”
“I have my own sources of intelligence.”
Richard naturally has to hide some things from Aragorn. Although everyone is an ally, they all hide some secrets in their hearts. This is a tacit thing.
Aragorn also knew that Richard had some inexplicable support, and as an ally, it was impossible for Richard to lie to him about this kind of thing.
“Is this the Lord of the Rising Sun walking on earth? Does your Majesty understand the other party’s situation?”
“The Lord of the Rising Sun walks in the world, that is, the divine attendant he sits on. Even if his strength is limited, he is also a pseudo-sage. I am afraid that you cannot deal with it now.”
“And if the divine servants cooperate with the contemporary pope and use their so-called artifact, the sacred staff, their strength will probably be even higher.”
“How high can it be?”
“This depends on the strength of this generation of popes in the church. The higher the strength, the stronger the endurance. Judging from the situation you described, this generation of popes is not strong. Even if there are divine servants taking action together, it should be He only has the strength of a semi-saint.”
Aragorn did not ask Richard why he knew the information about the visitor so clearly. He directly introduced the situation of the Divine Attendant to Richard and analyzed the opponent’s current strength.
The more Richard listened, the harder it became for him to relax his brows. Although he didn’t know how Aragorn came to the conclusion that the contemporary pope’s spiritual cultivation was not strong, he knew very well that the sky high level was currently the limit of what he could handle,
The Holy Domain is still a completely unfamiliar field of strength to Richard. The only time he saw the Holy Domain take action was last time in the capital, when he saw Master Qing frightening Mi Xiu who was killing everyone.
If Master Qing can take action, he may be able to help Richard resolve this crisis, but now Qing is still far away in the capital. Regardless of whether this old man who is not easy to take action is willing to help Richard, the people of the Rising Sun Sect are now They have already entered the territory of the Hunter family, and the distant water cannot relieve the close fire.
“I can’t deal with the semi-saints. Your Majesty must find a way.”
Although the words were short, Richard’s meaning was still very clear. I can’t bear this blame. These people are obviously coming for you. Don’t care whether we are allies now. If you still want to paddle, If I don’t contribute, I might just sell my teammates.
After all, Richard’s surname is not Charmaine. He and His Majesty Aragon have a very simple alliance. They only come together because they have a common enemy. It is impossible to protect each other like a protective father.
Even Richard is not a native of this world, and he does not respect Aragorn, the founding king of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, as much as others. He sold the other party under the last resort, and Richard felt no pressure at all. No.
After Richard finished speaking, Aragorn thought for a moment and said:
“Prepare some more mana crystals for me during this period to speed up my recovery. They probably don’t know yet about the replenishment of mana crystals we have received. I will take action when someone comes to the door.”
This is the first time Aragorn has agreed to take action. Richard has been right in his estimation. Aragorn is still far from recovering, and there should be a certain price to pay for taking action. Agreeing to take action this time is also a matter of necessity.
“Okay, I’ll have the magic crystal delivered in a moment.”
Richard originally controlled the supply of magic crystals, and relied on this to slowly get some benefits from this old fox, and also to slightly limit the opponent’s recovery speed to avoid being passive in the alliance. In terms of situation,
But now is not the time to be wary of each other. Now that the enemy is facing us, we can only choose to cooperate sincerely.
However, the magic crystal is indeed a secret agent. Richard has been keeping the matter of the magic crystal very secret, and there are very few insiders. Although with the large-scale use of magic crystal, this kind of thing certainly cannot be hidden forever. , but by covering up the news for a year and a half and strengthening their strength, the Hunter family can still do it.
I am afraid that the Rising Sun Sect is not clear about the magic crystal now, and there may be a misjudgment of Aragorn’s strength, which may still be a point that can be exploited.
“If there’s nothing wrong, I won’t disturb His Majesty’s rest.”
“Yeah.”
Richard turned around and left after giving a slight salute. Richard still had to show considerable respect to Aragorn,
The fight between two foxes is actually quite tiring for both parties. For a character like Aragorn who was a time traveler and built a human kingdom from scratch five hundred years ago, Richard But I don’t dare to take it lightly.
It is also quite a headache for Aragorn to deal with Richard. Richard has no respect for Aragorn as a human being. He is full of calculations and just a pitiful magic crystal. It was also given on a hanging basis, let alone defrauding Richard of control of the rebellious Elf King Ring.
“By the way, Your Majesty Aragon, there is one more thing.”
While Aragorn was still having a headache about what was going to happen next, Richard, who had just left, suddenly turned around and came back.
“I’m afraid it will be inconvenient for you to stay in Ironwood City during this period. I have prepared a mansion for you in the best part of Ironwood City. When will you go and see it?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go now.”
Aragorn replied angrily to Richard. Although Richard said it politely, everyone could understand what he meant.
Aragorn is now a target. The other party is probably chasing Aragorn and placed them in the ironwood castle. Richard is afraid that his family will be accidentally injured. A confrontation of this level, an ironwood castle, and a group of people Ordinary guards are of no use at all.
It’s better to let Aragorn move out first, so that the rest of the Hunter family will not be implicated…
