Black Iron Crown

The cave is extremely dark, and only torches can provide a faint light, so that people will not become blind in the cave.

Reiner looked at the embarrassed Earl Redmara in front of him, and saw that the other party was about 20 years old, with messy hazel hair, looking at Reiner with eyes full of longing and hope.

He walked up to the other party, took out the piece of sackcloth that he didn't know what had been wiped in his mouth, and then started to loosen the rope on the body of Viscount Rui Demara.

Thank you, dear Your Excellency who is also a noble person, if it weren't for you, I might still be humiliated by those damned despicable robbers!

Earl Redmara stood up from the ground, tidied up the slightly dilapidated noble clothes, and said to Reiner.

You are welcome. As a nobleman, I cannot just watch another nobleman being humiliated! This is what I should do! Reiner quickly adapted to the change in his identity, and with the help of the memory of his predecessor, In this way he transformed himself into an out-and-out aristocrat.

Haven't you asked your honorable name? I must always remember my benefactor's name!

Reiner! Reiner Moreland, I am the master of this territory, the master of Fort Moreland. A man who claimed to be your knight came to my castle and told me about it. That's why you can see me here!

That must be damned Karl! He betrayed me! And he actually did such a thing! Earl Redmara started to yell when he heard the news, obviously extremely angry about this matter.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Reiner was moved in his heart: Could it be that the task of finding out who is behind the scenes is now complete?

He suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked with concern: What happened? That Sir Karl disappeared after I defeated the enemy. What did he do?

It's him! If he hadn't colluded with the robbers, how could I have been ambushed and arrested by this group of mobs! At that time, we were completely unprepared. Three of my knights were killed by the enemy unarmed, and he led the retinue to attack We have launched an attack!

After hearing this, Reiner shook his head regretfully, and said, That's really a pity, but as a knight who swore an oath to you, why did he suddenly betray you at this time?

They must have done it! Earl Redmara said angrily.

Who? Reiner continued to ask, now he is not far away from getting the soul of the cavalry.

Earl Redmara hesitated for a moment, and then said: It's those ambitious lords. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has been in extremely poor health since he fell off his horse in the Eastern Expedition to sweep up the nomads three years ago. Can only linger on the sick bed, some great lords who surrendered in the heyday of His Majesty have regained their ambitions, trying to overthrow the rule of the Merland family, or cracking the soil to become kings, or wanting to shake the throne and establish their own dynasty, or just want to be in the Gain benefits from this turmoil!

Hearing what Earl Redmara said, Reiner was a little surprised. He knew that the Merland family was a distant relative of the current royal family, but he didn't know that the royal family was in turmoil.

However, this is understandable. It is difficult for middle- and lower-class aristocrats like them to know the political situation of the entire country, let alone they are in the remote northern border of the empire.

Earl Redmara went on to say: And I, Bolas Redmara, am a loyal supporter of the Moreland royal family. Under the leadership of the royal family, we resolutely fight against those who want to split the empire and replace the royal family. Lord!

And they naturally regard us as a thorn in the flesh. Many loyal officials of the royal family have been persecuted by them. I am not the first, and I will never be the last. By the way, I heard that your surname is Merland, Do you have anything to do with the royal family?

Earl Redmara didn't realize the issue of Reiner's surname until now,

asked instead.

Ah, yes! Reiner laughed and said, My great-grandfather was a prince of the royal family but because he was not valued, he was entrusted here as a baron.

Oh! That's it! It turns out that you are still a member of the royal family! Earl Redmara suddenly realized, pondered for a while, and then said: Then, don't you have any feelings about the current situation of the royal family?

Reiner thought about it, and understood what the other party meant. The other party just wanted to participate in this dispute, but he didn't have any feelings about it.

After all, although he has traveled through time, and there is still a system, he is still very clear about his position. A little baron, under such circumstances, if he is involved with his own strength, he will definitely be eaten by others There is no dregs left!

Aha, what can I think, my territory is so impoverished, and I have to guard against the invasion of the Klade this winter, hey... this is the sorrow of a small lord, a noble like your Excellency can't understand Yes! Reiner wanted to change the subject and declined.

Unexpectedly, Earl Redmara didn't care, and said meaningfully: Who knows? But if you can integrate the entire northern border, you may get greater benefits in this dispute!

After finishing speaking, Earl Redmara didn't wait for Reiner's reply, and said to him: But thank you for your rescue, I will give you the reward you deserve!

He took out a ring from the inside pocket of his clothes, handed it to Reiner and said, If you change your mind, or encounter difficult troubles, you can write to me and use this ring to seal the wax, I'll see what you mean!

Reiner hesitated for a moment, but still took the ring. Although he didn't want to be associated with the current chaos, if he could get acquainted with a high-ranking earl because of this, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.

In this way, Leiner found some other captured knights and attendants in this cave, but what Leiner has never understood is why an inland earl on the other side led such a weak force for him Came to the northern border where the birds don't shit, but if the other party didn't say anything, Reiner couldn't ask too much.

When the last person was released, a burst of electronic voice suddenly appeared in Leiner's mind: Congratulations, Your Excellency, complete the task: investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, get rewards, the soul of the junior cavalry: as fast as the wind! The combat power of the cavalry under his command has increased by 100% Five!

Listening to the notification sound of the system, Leiner completely abandoned the worries in his heart. Anyway, he has a huge golden finger—the system, so what else is there to worry about?

After ordering the soldiers to search all the property in the cave, Leiner gave the order to return.

Your Excellency, why don't you stay in my castle for a while, I am very sorry for what happened to you in my territory, and I will hold a grand banquet for you! Reiner said.

Forget it! Earl Redmara refused: Now the situation of the empire is very serious, I must return to the territory as soon as possible to prepare, forgive me for not being able to attend the banquet!
