Chapter 21: Alec Marquis

　　 Speaking of which, this is the first time I kneel to someone else?
　　 Ai Luo cast his gaze on the ground covered with the big red carpet, and a tyrannical flash quickly flashed in his eyes, but in just an instant, his original gentleness was restored.
　　 Don’t rush... Don’t rush... You have to eat bite by bite.
　　 took a little deep breath, and Ai Luo made up his mind. Just as I gave Wes the treasure before, want the treasure of the dragon? Then trade your loyalty. Want the dragon to kneel down? Then trade your country!
　　 At this moment, Ai Luo completely changed his original idea of ​​just using Falkenrich, what he wants now... is this kingdom.
　　 "Oh, Viscount Ai Luo... Oh no, Earl Ai Luo is really a rare young talent. I think a title and ten boxes of gold bars are not enough to reward such a young hero."
　　 Before the king could speak, a slightly frivolous voice rang.
I saw an old man with a moustache who was standing under the king’s left hand calmly saluting and walking to the king: "Your Majesty, the old minister’s daughter has always admired young and promising heroes. With this opportunity, give the two young people a chance to get along?"
　　 This old man is different from Elona's respectful and dignified attitude. His blue eyes are full of arrogance, and there is no respect for the king. Even the salute is extremely perfunctory.
　　 "Since the Duke of Hops is interested, I am also happy to be an adult."
　　 However, the king also showed no dissatisfaction, as if he had been used to it, he smiled and nodded, and then changed the conversation, "But Duke Tuttle doesn't seem to agree?"
Hearing this, the person standing under the king's right hand also stood up, also a perfunctory salute, and also a disrespectful word: "Duke Hopps is wrong. The old official thought that Earl Earl was in the family. It’s been a long time, and the seniority in the upper class is bound to be low. If you rush to contact the Duke’s daughter, I’m afraid you will not understand etiquette and neglect the noble daughter."
　　 Duke Tuttle said, shaking his index finger wearing a huge gem ring. Although he was full of white hair, he was tall and burly, and he seemed more visually oppressive than the Duke of Hopps.
"The minister also agrees with Duke Tuttle's meaning." The third person who spoke was a man who was standing next to Duke Tuttle. He seemed to be in his early thirties. Although he looked plain, he was as calm as he was. A piece of steel.
　　 "Earl Earl is a piece of unpolished jade, I believe that as long as he hone in the Sky Knights under his minister for a period of time, it will definitely be enough to be worthy of any noble daughter in the capital!"
　　 "This statement is wrong..."
　　 The anger in Duke Hops’ eyes flashed past, and he immediately retorted.
　　 Looking at the three men with guns and arrows, even the king couldn't help but feel a headache. Because he can't even stop them!
　　 These three people are the real power behind the scenes, almost the three nobles who can cover the sky: Duke Hops, Duke Tuttle and Marquis Alec.
　　 Said bluntly, they are the source of all the evils of King Fakenrich and the culprit that has caused the chaos of the country to this day!
　　 The Duke of Hopps is an old minister of the three dynasties. Not only is he highly respected, he holds the management power of the Wangli Magic Academy, the largest magician training institution in Falkenridge, and also runs the first-class Red Huang Chamber of Commerce in the Western Continent. With the absolute advantage in business alone, he can make the king tremble with his fingers.
　　 The Duke of Tuttle is a famous general in the Kingdom of Falkenridge and a recognized in the army. In order to ensure that his position is unshakable, he wins over the military's heart everywhere, and uses various means to get all the young talents in the army under his command, destroying what he can't get. At least in the army, his words are more useful than the king's words.
　　The Marquis of Alec is the strongest legion in Falkenridge, and the only legion that is not affected by the Duke of Tuttle-the highest commander of the Sky Knights, responsible for guarding the safety of the royal capital. All members of this legion have flying dragon mounts and are proficient in many kinds of magic. To put it humbly, it is no problem to be a hundred!
　　Sure enough...Has it started to talents?
　　 Half-kneeling Ai Luo showed a hint of coldness in his heart. Perhaps Rhodes and the others could not hear the meaning of the three nobles, but they knew very well that they were trying to win him over.
It’s no wonder that Falkenrich was completely controlled by them. I’m afraid it seems that the talented people in this country have been divided by them. No matter how powerful the king is, he is only one person. Since no one is available, he has to rely on the three major noble.
　　 As for whether they really believed Bella's fabricated identity, Ai Luo didn't think it was important. Just pull into your own camp first, and then naturally have time to investigate slowly.
"I think," Bella was also filled with anger, but she still showed a decent smile, "Since Earl Earl has come to the capital for the first time, it is better not to rush to talk about these official matters. Give him a little time to familiarize yourself. Is the situation in the capital city better?"
　　 "The princess is right."
　　 Maybe it was because they felt that the quarrel continued to be fruitless. The three looked at each other and reached an agreement.
　　 Ai Luo naturally saw this scene in his eyes. Although the three nobles usually fight inwardly, they also know that the current three-legged situation is quite balanced. Before they are really prepared, they have more reasons to continue to maintain it than to break this balance rashly.
　　 and...
　　 If I am not mistaken, this Marquis of Alec, seems a bit interesting?
　　 A golden light in the black eyes pulsed slightly, and Ai Luo lowered his head again: "The minister also agrees with the princess. The three adults love me so much, I am really scared, please allow me to think about it."
　　 "Accurate."
　　 The king nodded and said nothing more. Obviously, he had seen a similar scene many times, but now the court has turned into a black vortex, and no matter how much clear current is poured in, it cannot be purified. And what I can do is try my best to continue this lingering country...
　　 It was another dusk, and a boy in a black trench coat appeared outside the mansion of the Marquis of Alec.
　　 This time Ai Luo did not bring any servants, but let them all stay in the house-because he believed that not only himself, but even the Marquis of Alec would not want outsiders to be present at this meeting.
　　As the supreme commander of the defense force of King Falkenrich, the residence of the Marquis of Alec is naturally quite magnificent, and its luxury is definitely not worse than the castles of the two dukes. Just by the door, there are two giant dragon stone statues standing opposite each other, and the invisible majesty is blowing, which is not comparable to the old house of Ai Luo.
　　 Obviously, the Marquis of Alec also had a foreboding that Ai Luo would come. After waiting long, Ai Luo walked to a reception room under the leadership of the gatekeeper.
This reception room is also much larger than Ailuo’s. The huge throne in the center is full of gold and jewelry decorations. There are two pure gold dragon statues standing on both sides. The dragon eyes are the most exquisite gem carvings. Each piece of scale armor is lifelike, with huge dragon wings covering the sky like an umbrella.
　　 It can be seen from this room alone that the lives of the three nobles are not much worse than that of the king.
　　 Had it not been for Ai Luo himself to be able to control his desire for treasure better, I am afraid that he has now returned to his original form and rushed forward.
　　Even so, Ai Luo had to divert his attention from the statue as much as possible. His body was trembling constantly, and his desire told him that he must get this kingdom, in this way...you can get more wealth than before!
　　 "Your Excellency Marquis."
　　 Ai Luo bowed slightly with a polite smile—different from the respect he received when meeting the king, this time it was just a polite bow.
　　 "You are wise, it is better to take refuge in me than to take refuge in those two guys."
　　 Alec is still the ordinary appearance he saw last time, but as long as he gets closer, he can feel his calm and compelling aura like a mountain.
　　 This is a strong one, and it is unprecedentedly strong!
　　 Ai Luo is secretly alert, perhaps the Marquis of Alec suppressed his aura when he met the king last time. From now on, his strength is probably much stronger than the Frost Dancer in Iota Arena.
　　Sure enough, a person who can cover the sky with one hand in a country~EbookFREE.me~ Even if it is greedy, cruel, or stupid, it will not be a rice bucket who knows nothing but infighting as described in some stories.
　　 In fact, it is not only Ai Luo, but the Marquis of Alec is also quite surprised. I originally thought Ai Luo was a young man with good talent and a little arrogant, but I didn't expect that I had just released the coercion that had been at the top for a long time, but Ai Luo looked unchanged.
　　 Regardless of his strength, at least his psychological quality... has reached the average line of the Sky Knights!
　　 You must know that the dragon knights of the Sky Knights are all cold-blooded warriors who have been battle-tested, and their psychological qualities are definitely not comparable to any nobleman.
　　 "Take refuge in you? No, no, the Marquis seems to have misunderstood something."
Ailuo's mouth rose slightly, and his originally modest smile looked a little weird. He looked at the guards standing beside the Marquis, "By the way, before we start, can you trouble you to dismiss all irrelevant personnel? Believe me. , You don’t want them to hear the rest."
"you……"
　　 Alec frowned. He wanted to scold the rude guy right away, but Ai Luo's smile gave him a very bad feeling, like... being stared at by some dangerous beast.
　　 Besides, he hasn't felt this feeling for a long time.
　　 "You go out first."
　　 Finally, Marquis Alec waved his hand. He is not afraid of Ai Luo's assassination, because he believes that in the entire Western Continent, he can assassinate him silently...no one!
　　 But the next moment, all his self-confidence turned into fear, the reason was only a word that Ai Luo spit out gently.
　　 "By the way, should I call you Lord Alec Marquis, or-Alfred David Anson, Lord Black Shadow?"
