feather [orc]

Four years later, the imperial capital Wangcheng.

This place is the power center of the entire orc empire, also known as the king's capital, and in the king's capital, apart from the imperial palace, the most famous places are the two places on both sides of the king's capital, East Street and West Street.

The people living there are all high-ranking officials and nobles. The East Street is some family forces located in the royal capital, and the West Street is a personal force directly under the royal family. They are all loyal to His Majesty the Beast King, and they are all nobles among the nobles.

And located near the end of West Street, there is a newly built exquisite courtyard, which does not occupy a large area, but every detail can be seen, it has been carefully arranged, and it is not inferior to those large-scale households.

The people living in the East Street and West Street know the identity of each family living on these two streets, and this family was granted the honor of the Beast King a year ago. , newly moved in, where a father and son live.

Rex Zoll, deputy captain of the Royal Guards, and his son Nick Zoll.

The surname Zor was bestowed by His Majesty the Beast King, because commoners originally did not have a surname, but when he became a nobleman, he would be given a surname.

Rex calls himself a commoner.

Of course... In fact, no one would be really stupid enough to believe it, and Rex didn't expect others to believe it. This was just a superficial tacit understanding.

In fact, his past must have been backed up in various forces, but basically, no one would bring it up ignorantly.

Since four years ago, Rex has been wanted by the Xavier family, but the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. Generally speaking, if it is something that happens between the family, it will not become a national wanted model. , the royal family will not intervene, otherwise...it is equivalent to that family admitting that they are unable to solve it themselves, which is a very embarrassing thing.

What's more, the laws of the Beastman Empire are relatively loose except for the protection of the interests and dignity of the royal family. A piece of cake.

Therefore, when he came to the capital, he did not hide his name at all. He was able to climb up step by step by relying on his identity as a Warcraft man and his growing strength. Just his beastly form... a fool Don't know who he is.

Originally, no matter how hard he tried, after all, his identity was rather embarrassing and he had no background. Although he joined the Royal Guards by virtue of his strength, he was only a soldier at the bottom. It was difficult to climb up in this place.

But more than a year ago, a rebellion broke out in the palace. The current Beast King ascended the throne at the age of 15 and has been in power for 52 years. Because he is also a Warcraft man, he is still in good health, but none of his three sons is a beast man. Warcraft people don't have such a long lifespan.

Logically speaking, the eldest prince Solor should be the first in line heir, but he was born to his queen when the Beastmaster was 16 years old, and he is now 51 years old. Go down, maybe until he dies and his father is alive.

So, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The rebellion was suppressed in the end, Solor was killed by the Beastmaster, and Rex, as a member of the Royal Guards who directly guarded the royal family, coincidentally played a role in that rebellion.

Solor, who was able to escape, was discovered by him, captured and handed over to the Beastmaster.

This great achievement, coupled with the accumulated strength of the three years of hard training, and the appreciation of the captain of the Imperial Guard, he won the non-hereditary title of Viscount, and then gradually became the deputy captain of the Royal Guard.

He has become a promising rookie for Wangdu.

On this day, Rex had to change shifts and return home as usual. Nick was already five years old this year, and he was studying in the noble preschool tutoring class. He had just been picked up by the housekeeper Eric.

Yes, it is the butler. As a new nobleman, even if the courtyard is not big, but there must be orc butlers and non-orc servants. What's more, he is busy on weekdays and Nick is still young. It needs to be taken care of.

As soon as he got home, Nick came up and hugged his father's thigh tightly.

Rex pinched his nose, pointed to the clothes on his body: "Nick, I'm going to change clothes, and I'll be with you later."

Little Nick blinked and nodded, let go of his hand, Rex went upstairs and returned to his room, he didn't like being served by others in his daily life, so the servants would not follow him back to the room.

But this time, as soon as he opened the door, he felt something strange in the room.

He blinked for a moment, then closed the door quietly.

"As far as I remember, I didn't invite anyone... to visit my bedroom today."

He cast his eyes on the curtain, and stared there without moving. Sure enough, within a few seconds, a figure came out from behind the curtain helplessly: "Oh, I was discovered."

Rex looked at the other party, and was slightly taken aback: "...It's you."

He recognized that the other party was his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Four years was not enough to make much change in an adult orc.

He looked at Cole and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, I don't think it is necessary for you to come to me."

"Don't be so indifferent, Brother Rex." Cole bent his eyes, "I guess I miss you."

Rex looked at Cole expressionlessly, and Cole's smile couldn't help but cracked: "...well, I came to you for something."

"What's the matter?" Rex asked sarcastically, "It is said that the Xavier family has had a hard time in recent years? But I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Yes, compared to Rex's recent smooth sailing, the recent days of the Xavier family have been very unlucky.

This matter started from the mutation of the Snake family four years ago.

Rex knew the surname of Snake, it was Ronald's family.

Four years ago, shortly after Ronald's death, the original heir of the Snake family disappeared inexplicably, and when the family was in chaos, a new heir appeared in front of everyone.

Rona Snake, a real Warcraft man with the blood of the Snake family, was approved by Snake's former patriarch, Ryan, and it turned out that this was his illegitimate son outside.

This is not a strange thing. As far as Ryan Snake is concerned, because his partner has lost the ability to reproduce, he would rather not keep any orc blood. This is a truly incredible thing among nobles.

Now that it was revealed that he actually had an illegitimate child of an orc, it seemed perfectly normal instead.

Logically speaking, even if this is an illegitimate child, his status is not orthodox, but as far as Rona's identity as a Warcraft man is concerned, he is definitely the next patriarch.

But at that time, the power in the Snake family was scattered, and the branches were not willing to give up power, especially the line that originally supported Hughes. Rebellion seized power.

However, they soon knew that this new heir was not the one they should try to offend at all. He was a ruthless opponent, and his father was carved out of two molds.

He can clearly settle all this peacefully. He has this ability, but he suppressed the internal strife with absolutely bloody and vicious means, killing all the blood of Hughes' branch, and at the same time Weakened several other branches that were just about to move, without any scruples between them, they belonged to the same line of Snake.

This man, he is an emotionless demon.

At the same time, after that infighting, Ryan Snake completely stepped down and took on the prefix of his predecessor.

Rona Snake became the new patriarch, unifying all the scattered forces in the family.

Perhaps it was because of the indifference and ruthlessness, coupled with the clean and neat methods that hit the vital points, in just a few years, the Snake family regained the glory it should have from a down and out family, climbed steadily, and became an unstoppable family. An emerging family that is easily offended.

It only took three years for Snake's new patriarch, Rona, to rise from strength to gradual stabilization.

At that time, he and the nearby Xavier family had always been inseparable from each other, and sometimes even had business dealings, but when he gained a firm foothold, he showed his snake's fangs.

Patriarch Rona has always only attacked those forces that hindered him or blocked him.

The Xavier family was the only family he... targeted for no reason, and was extremely obvious. Sometimes, even at the expense of himself, he would hurt the enemy by a thousand.

... This is a lunatic at all, a lunatic with exceptional abilities, and immediately brought a huge crisis to the Xavier family.

In addition to this crisis, there is another crisis from the distant capital.

After Rex became the vice-captain of the Royal Guards, he could see His Majesty the Beast King every day, and he could even say a few words. He belongs directly to the royal family. Even if there is no family power behind him, it is not easy to offend. His status will naturally rise. , there will be no fewer people who fawn on him.

...So, soon the nobles who fawned on him knew that the new vice-captain didn't love money or beauties, but only wanted to trouble the Xavier family, uh, understandable, understandable.

Suddenly... The Xavier family soon discovered that their social interaction in the aristocratic circle has not been smooth in recent years, and some businesses and connections have also become unfamiliar for some reason.

Although the Xavier family is considered a big family, they are not particularly huge behemoths. Compared with those terrifying existences like dukes and princes... Xavier only has the title of hereditary marquis, and it is far away from the capital, so the gold content will at least drop a notch.

In this way, in the face of various crises, even though Cole's ability is not bad, he can't help but grey.

The author has something to say: ...the party was very late today, and it was updated in the middle of the night...wiping sweat
