Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 67 Getting closer to the truth

　Princes’ face was very dark.

He didn’t understand why someone would write this kind of book, without caring about women’s face at all, and directly address the core issues.

 Let him know that the author must be killed.

"That's just a family rumor. I suspect that the author of the book has great malice towards women." Princes narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile: "By the way, what is the name of that book and who is the author?"

"The author is dead." Hardy shrugged: "But I think what she said is very reasonable. I used to regard women as treasures, but combined with my own experience and what is said in the book, I found that it is indeed insightful."

　　Not only did Prince's face turn dark, but his expression also became very strange.

 He took a deep breath and said: "We won't talk about this anymore. Hardy, I found that you are very knowledgeable. Do you really not like reading?"

"I don't like to watch." Hardy nodded: "But in the past, the elders in the family would force me to watch, but there was nothing I could do. In contrast, I prefer to practice martial arts."

“Oh, no wonder you are so knowledgeable and don’t look like a barbarian.”

The two of them walked into the garden of this small manor. In front of them was a large mansion with a large area. There were more than a dozen maids inside, all of them beautiful.

 After entering the mansion, Princess asked: "Would you like to have afternoon tea first?"

 “No, let’s just look at the weapons.”

 “Okay.” Princes nodded.

The place where weapons and armor are stored is the basement. After Princes brought Hardy here, he opened his hands and said, "This is the good weapon I spent almost ten years collecting."

Hardy looked around. The basement was not big, but it was almost full of weapons and armor.

 Although Hardy prefers reading, as a man, it is also instinct to like cold weapons.

With a look of wonder on his face, he walked among the iron tools.

 Touch here, look there.

Princes was beside him, looking satisfied when he saw that Hardy liked his collection so much.

 Hardy walked around inside and found some familiar or famous weapons in his "previous life".

For example, the long sword 'Paint Shadow', the short sword 'Tree Thorn', etc.

These weapons also came from the royal family in the previous life, which means...Princes is very likely to be the next 'king'.

 Of course, it is only possible.

In case he died in the middle of the journey, it is possible that someone would inherit his "property" and ascend to the throne.

When Hardy had finished seeing it, Princes smiled and said, "Would you like to pick one and take it away?"

Hardy shook his head: "No need."

Princes really wanted to give one or two items to Hadi, but thought that the relationship between the two was not yet at that level, so she gave up.

 “Then go to my library and have a look.”

Hadi walked out reluctantly.

Upon seeing this, Prince Prince smiled and said: "From now on, as long as you think about it, you can come here as a guest."

 “Okay.” Hardy nodded and walked out with satisfaction.

Princes’ eyebrows arched even more as she smiled.

 After that, Princes took Hardy to the third floor.

 The entire floor is a library.

 Compared with the weapons depot in the basement, this place is at least five times wider.

 Books, some people think the ink smells very fragrant, and some people think it smells bad.

 Hardy is the latter.

 He likes books, but he doesn’t like the smell of ink.

 So the information age is more suitable for him.

"There are more than 30,000 books here." Princes said proudly: "It can be said that I have purchased or copied one of the books that can appear in the city of Boris."

Hardy walked past these bookshelves, and he found that Princes had divided the books into categories.

 From travel notes, novels, poetry, craftsmanship, to history.

 Especially in the historical area, the bookshelves and the meticulousness of maintenance are obviously different from others. Hardy walked around and asked, "How much did these books cost you?"

 “More than ten thousand gold coins.”

Hardy couldn't help but hissed, this was almost one-third of his family's secret wealth.

 The accumulation of property of the Hardy family is the result of several generations.

 As expected of being of royal blood, he is really rich.

 But then, he felt something was wrong: “Where did you get so much money?”

The royal family can be very rich, but that is the total wealth. Prince is not an extremely favored only son, nor is he the head of the family. He also has many brothers and sisters. Logically speaking, there should not be so many. Money.

Princes smiled and said: "I earned it myself."

 “Awesome.” Hardy gave a thumbs up.

　　This is a sincere compliment.

Handy then casually flipped through a few travel notes and other books under Prince’s ‘introduction’, but showed no interest.

Princes didn’t care either.

 The two then went to the garden to have afternoon tea, during which they chatted very happily.

Both of them are very knowledgeable, and Princes became happier the more they chatted.

 About evening, Hardy stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back."

 “How about spending the night here?”

　　Hardy shook his head: "I am now a mercenary of the Jeanna family. It is inconvenient."

"You might as well come to our house and become a mercenary." Princes suggested expectantly: "I'll pay double the money."

 Eighty gold coins a month is nothing to Prince.

 She has a lot of properties under her name and is very easy to make money.

 Hardy shook his head: "In my Hardy family, the most important thing is trust."

 There was no other way, so Princess had no choice but to send Hadi out of the manor.

That look is quite resentful.

Hardy was walking in the direction of Jeanne's house, but suddenly an average-looking ordinary man came over and asked in a low voice: "But Mr. Hardy?"

"Yes." Hardy looked at him with some vigilance: "Excuse me, are you?"

"I am a member of the tavern," the man handed over a piece of parchment: "This is a message from Lord Tompson from River Creek City."

Hardy looked serious and took it.

 “Sir, I’m leaving first.”

Hardy nodded.

 After the man left, Hardy walked to a secluded alley in the street and opened the parchment.

The above is full of "garbled characters", the messy fonts are crooked, and there are also typos.

 But these were the secret codes that had been agreed upon a long time ago, and Hardy quickly figured them out.

The names of four people are written on it.

 His face gradually darkened.

Then he flicked his fingers and burned the parchment to ashes with magic flames.

 When he returned to the Jeanne family, he was taken to the main hall of the castle by the maid.

Enolin was talking to Dora. When she saw Hadi, she waved and smiled and said, "Come here, there's something good going on."

 “What’s the good thing?” Hardy walked over.

“The king will hold a palace banquet tomorrow night.” Enolin said with a hint of sarcasm on her face, “You have also been invited, and the invitation was sent to me.”

“I was invited to a palace banquet by a little baron?” Hardy felt very strange.
