From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 153 Missing (5 updates completed today)
After assigning everything to Hyer, Kroeber continued to read the second page of Grand Duke Veronica's letter.
The second page of the letter did not contain any important things. It mainly wrote about what she saw and heard along the way, as well as the general situation of the war between the Emerald Kingdom and the Mountain Copper Kingdom.
Veronica's letter was quite pessimistic. She believed that the Emerald Kingdom had little chance of winning this war.
However, she attributed all the reasons to Edwin Bronze Fury, and had already stated on the first page that this person coveted the land and wealth of the Golden Grand Duchy.
In the content of the second page, Veronica also tactfully reminded Kroeber to be on guard against enemies from the north.
Where is the north of the Golden Grand Duchy?
That happened to be the territory of Duke Edwin!
Before the expedition, Veronica was indeed wary of her northern neighbor.
But since Edwin took most of the combat power in the territory to participate in the war, she believed that the Duke Edwin's territory in the north would no longer pose a threat.
In addition to the false information and the letter for help that Edwin deliberately released at that time, Veronica chose to lead the army to help the Emerald Kingdom.
As for the third page, it was some of the inner thoughts written by Veronica and Krober.
Since the last birthday party, the relationship between Krober and Veronica has obviously become a little ambiguous.
Both parties also enjoy this ambiguous atmosphere.
So Veronica wrote some common chat topics between lovers on the third page.
(Well... I know you don’t like to read it, and the words are a bit too watery, so I won’t write it.)
After reading the handwritten letter of Grand Duke Veronica, Krober picked up another letter.
The envelope was sealed with a dark purple ink, and a blooming rose pattern was engraved on it.
This is another letter from Black Feather Island.
After opening the envelope, Krober read it roughly.
"What? Christina is missing?"
Krober looked at the letter in his hand, his face full of astonishment.
He took a look at the signature, and it was definitely the autograph of old man Foster.
Christina was his third sister, and one of the few relatives who treated him well when he was in Deepwater Territory.
When the Klar family was captured and put into the dungeon by Marquis Daniel, Krober spent a large sum of ransom to redeem Christina from the dungeon.
The ransom was a copper coin, which was paid on the spot by old man Foster.
Originally, Foster planned to take Christina back to Black Feather Island, but Christina insisted on returning to the manor where she lived before.
Foster had no choice but to arrange a few soldiers to protect Christina closely, and he left first.
As for what happened afterwards, Foster himself was not clear. He only knew that after Christina and her group packed up their things in the manor, they didn't know where they went.
Even the soldiers disappeared without a trace.
No one was seen alive, and no body was seen dead.
After learning about this, the Moonlight Mushroom Family also mobilized the guards in the territory to search the manor.
Finally, in the basement of the manor, they found the bodies of the soldiers who were responsible for protecting Christina.
Their arms and torsos were greatly damaged, and the scars on their bodies showed obvious signs of burning.
The guards inferred that they were attacked by a person above the level of a formal knight with fire attribute fighting spirit.
These soldiers were elite soldiers brought by Foster from the territory, with the strength of trainee knights.
This is already very powerful for ordinary bandits and ordinary people, but it is just an ant for formal knights or even great knights.
"A formal knight is a robber? The power behind this is not small!"
Although the formal knight is just a small soldier in the kingdom war, in the vast and sparsely populated Golden Grand Duchy, formal knights are already rare.
On average, there are only a few formal knights in a barony the size of a county, which shows that formal knights still have a certain social status.
It has been a while since Krober opened up new territories and was promoted to Viscount, and the news of his promotion to Earth Knight has spread to the territory of the Golden Grand Duchy.
However, there are very few official knights who voluntarily join Krober, and the only noble family that really joins Krober is the Jacaranda family.
This is what Krober asked for from his grandfather.
"The fact that they specifically targeted Christina shows that they are following my orders. They dare not attack when old man Foster is present, which shows that their strength is not as good as that of the Great Knight."
"From this point of view, this should be the work of a spy of a certain force."
Krober is no longer the same as he was when he was a rookie.
He has learned to observe the inner side through the surface of things. This matter is obviously a conspiracy designed against him.
Christina was born in an ordinary baron family, poor and weak, and her status in the family is not high.
What's more, the Oat Family has disappeared in the long river of history, and it has no value in itself.
Then the only value left for her is her identity, as the biological sister of Krober Bauhinia Rose.
"Interesting. They kidnapped my sister, but they didn't send me a ransom note. It seems like they're not asking for money?
Since it has nothing to do with money, it must be a political struggle.
Oh~ I remember, it's the little crab!"
Krober suddenly remembered the unlucky family that he had cheated out of 200,000 gold coins. He couldn't help but sigh because he was having a headache because of the lack of money in the territory.
"There are still many good people in this world!"
