Vol 4 Chapter 221: Duke confrontation (on)

In the quiet carriage, the young Grand Duke Elmand looked solemn, and his silver-gray pupil examined the dark-haired wizard sitting in front of him.
Although he had learned some information about his half-brother from Lucien's mouth, the moment he saw Yuli Wiltz, Loren found that he still underestimated the weight of "seriousness" in his mouth.
He is clearly a slender and thin boy, but his serious expression and meticulous sitting posture seem to give him the illusion that he is facing Master Corona and even Crown Prince Connold.
The seemingly real coercion that permeated the other side, as if it could pierce the silver-gray eyes inside, warned the dark-haired wizard not to be underestimated by age and appearance.
Sitting in front of him was a grand duke holding a Principality; the empire was able to sit on equal foot with this young man, and both hands counted.
"How?" Yuli Wiltz's cold and majestic voice sounded: "Is it so surprising to see me?"
"Shouldn't it?"
Loren, who calmed down, calmed down and asked in the calmest tone: "If I remember correctly, in theory you should still be in the capital of the Principality of Elleman, not Bairn, Red Blood Castle."
"Theoretically ... as a wizard consultant for His Highness Brandon, you should now be in Golovin, West Sackland." Yuli Wiltz spelt out clearly, and even the courtesan of the Sky Dome couldn't jump out of anything:
"So don't talk about him anymore, Loren Turin; my time is very precious, you must give me an answer immediately and clearly;
Byrne ... Are you ready to rebel against the empire? ! "
The dark-haired wizard frowned slightly, his hands subconsciously crossed his fingers; he knew that the sharp, cold eyes were watching him, and he would not give himself any more opportunities.
"The key to whether or not to rebel against the empire is not in Byrne, but in the Sky Dome." After thinking a little, Loren said calmly: "This matter has not been simple enough to speak clearly in three words. Either attitude is very important. "
Duke Yuli didn't speak, and his silver-gray eyes still stared at the eyes of the dark-haired wizard, making him feel more stressed.
"It's you ... Master Yuli Wiltz, even if you really want to know the answer, why do you visit Red Blood Castle privately at this time?"
Loren forced to calm down and asked, the dark pupils also looked at each other's eyes: "Visit in private, observe in secret, even use such a tough method to tie my irrelevant outsider to the carriage, and ask about the Principality of Bayern intelligence."
"I really want to know, what are you going to do, and what do you want to dig out of my mouth?"
Duke Elmand still didn't change his face, sitting still across from him; from beginning to end, the black-haired wizard couldn't find any useful breakthrough from anywhere on the opponent's body.
Taking a deep breath, Loren leaned on the back of the carriage and deliberately showed a relaxed expression: "Master Duke, I am not targeting you, but your approach is really inevitably making people doubt your purpose; say To be honest, if you can use a more friendly, or more trusted way of conversation, I think ... "
"Word games."
The abrupt voice interrupted the dark-haired wizard. Loren's face was slightly stunned. In front of him, Julie Wurz was still looking at him, but he couldn't express the sarcasm in his eyes:
"Stop the content of the original conversation, or avoid it, and then point the spear at the other party ... Lorren Turin, do you really think I can't hear it?"
"I……"
"Simpler, because I'm almost impatient." The young duke said coldly: "If you continue this way, I will conclude that you are deliberately covering up the truth of Byrne, and buying time for the rebellion."
"If this is the case, then a month later, the mission visiting the Principality of Byron is not one thousand people, but one hundred thousand people!"
One hundred thousand? !
In a month, the empire was too late to call so many legions; that is to say, this prince ... Is he going to rebel for the empire himself? !
"You ... is this threatening me?" Larynge twitched, and Loren's expression was a little ugly.
Yuli Wiltz looked at him coldly: "I'm telling you not to be foolish, but you can understand it that way."
At that moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became suppressed and killed, which made people breathless.
The black-haired wizard frowned, and his crossed fingers were a little white because of too much force ... maybe because of the painkiller, he had a chaotic mind and could not find any refutation or a foothold against the Duke. .
Do you want to be honest?
There are indeed nobles in Bayern who intend to rebel, and the attitude of the knight lords does indeed show signs of wanting independence. Although Charlotte is trying to save, it seems to have no effect ...
No, you must not say so! If the empire decides that the Turin family has no prestige to lead Byrne, the consequences are simply unimaginable!
What should I do? !
"But ... I can also answer your previous question."
Yuli Wiltz suddenly turned around, interrupting the thinking of the dark-haired wizard: "Why visit the Red Blood Castle in private? The reason is simple, because I need a more neutral point of view."
Neutral point of view?
The dark-haired wizard was silent, and his mind began to sink into contemplation.
"The Sky Dome delivered the mission of mediation to me, but I haven't thought that this matter is simply mediation." The young duke's eyes were deep and his voice was very calm:
"Then there can be only one answer-this matter must not allow the royal family to come forward, otherwise the empire may fall apart!"
"Therefore, this visit can only be conducted in private; once it is made public, the situation will be completely out of control." Yuri, who is frost-ridden, shook his head: "And before being completely public, before the mission visits Byrne, I must be the most neutral. Objective answers to set the tone for this mediation. "
"Do you want to stabilize the situation in Byrne and select a new duke; or are you ready to accept the declaration of war and rebel for the empire?"
The tossed words fell, and the car fell silent again.
The silver-grey pupils and dark eyes stared at each other. There was no slight change in the expression of Julie Wurz, but the dark-haired wizard was slightly surprised.
In order to clarify such an answer, the Duke actually dared to take the risk himself, and ran to Red Blood Castle alone?
Does he really don't know ... right now, right now, how many people in this city can't wait to kill him immediately and use his blood to wipe the crown of the cavalier king? !
As long as he yells himself, or just leaks the news, the Grand Duke of Ellemant will never see the sun of tomorrow!
But before that, he had another problem.
"……why me?"
Loren's expression is very complicated, looking at the young duke in front of him: "If you just want to know a" neutral "answer, you can go to many people, why do you have to come to me who is not related?"
"First of all, you are definitely not an irrelevant person ... Although there is no real evidence, the incident of the heretics is absolutely related to you."
In the carriage, the young duke leaned forward slowly, his eyes carefully examined Loren's expression: "Just on the way I came, I have heard many people talking about you ~ EbookFREE.me ~ talking about 'Loren How the Spirit 'rushed into the cathedral, saved the altar from Gaspar, and avenged the dead archbishop. "
"That was an accident, and something happened ..."
"But this is only one of the reasons." The young duke interrupted him: "More ... because of someone."
A person?
The dark-haired wizard was slightly startled: "You mean ... Lusien?"
"Of course not!" Yuli Wiltz retorted without hesitation, but his eyes showed a flash of panic: "I wouldn't be blind to the extreme stupid brother who proved himself by running away from home. Believe in someone! "
Loren's expression suddenly became weird, not knowing whether to laugh or not.
"I chose you because of a close friend's request." Julie Wiltz said:
"Heir of Lothal, Earl of Deep Forest, Ruben Friede!"
