Chapter 45: Uneasy approach

　　　　 "Of course not just to see their situation."
　　 Ai Luo turned around, and the lively atmosphere in the lower city gradually dissipated as the members of the special security forces returned to the headquarters.
　　 "Actually, I came to see you, Your Royal Highness."
　　 "Oh? I didn't expect me to be so attractive." Bella didn't care, and returned with a polite smile.
　　 Naturally, she can't be so stupid that she thinks that the humanoid dragon in front of her has been conquered by herself-contacting the dark side of this world prematurely not only deprived her of childhood happiness, but also gave her a mature mind far surpassing her peers.
　　 "But I still think, count, you should be more concerned about the special security forces... the count is so relieved to drink, are you afraid that I will take the opportunity to do something?"
　　 Watching Ai Luo sit down in front of her, Bella gracefully brews a cup of black tea for him. Unexpectedly, Ai Luo picked up the black tea without thinking and took a sip with the same impeccable attitude.
"You will not."
　　 Ai Luo said in a sure tone.
　　 "It's like you don't worry about me regaining my body now and then grab you away."
　　 Bella chuckled: "Earl is very interesting."
　　 "At least for now we are still useful to each other."
　　 The gray-clothed boy's eyes are like a pair of precious obsidian, and the arc of his mouth becomes larger. "Let's not mention that only I can really mobilize the special security forces, that is the Icote Valley...I think if I am left in the capital, the happiest person will only be Grand Duke Jon."
　　 Hearing these words, Bella's smile faded slightly.
　　 Ailuo is right. In the past four years, although the two empires competed more fiercely for the Duchy of Stasi, Grand Duke Jon, a wise and brave monarch, has never given up preparations for war against the Kingdom of Falkenridge.
　　 On the one hand, there is no doubt that it is because of the hatred between the two countries for thousands of years-if the civil strife in Fakenridge was not too serious, they would definitely be prepared for war in the past four years.
　　, on the other hand, is because of the desire to open up new territory. The Principality of Stasi has established a fairly complete domestic infrastructure over the years. Only when Grand Duke Jon has completely negotiated with the two empires, the war machine will be activated.
　　 By that time, the two countries will be caught in a new storm.
　　 And this does not mean that there is absolute peace between the two countries now.
　　 As the lord of the Icourt Valley, he is also the true ruler of the buffer zone where Falkenridge and Stasi were handed over. In the past four years, Ailuo has not worked behind closed doors, but sent people to infiltrate Stasi’s territory. As a result, he obtained some information that was not considered secret but absolutely important.
　　 Several cities on the border of Stasi began to expand their defense facilities, train soldiers, and even send out investigation teams several times.
　　 Icourt Valley where Ai Luo is located has also been invaded several times by a team of Stasi soldiers and adventurers. Fortunately, the town that was closest to the valley has been destroyed, and the long distance has reduced the frequency of invasion. In addition, thanks to the increasingly sound defense system of Hope Town and the early warning of the dragons, the invaders always return without success.
In contrast, Ailuo, a young nobleman who suddenly emerged, became a thorn in the eyes of the superiors in the Duchy of Stasi: With this valley in it, the way to Falkenridge was firmly guarded. , As strong as steel as the hurricane fortress on Stasi.
　　 There are also some people who suspect that Ai Luo, who can rise at such an astonishing speed, is probably not a simple human being. However, there is a magical barrier arranged by the Silver Dragon Mage in the valley, and under the order of Ailuo, all the dragons are not allowed to appear in front of the invaders, so the suspicion in this area will eventually cease.
As the backing of Ai Luo, Bella naturally understood all this, so she instantly understood what Ai Luo meant: Don't act rashly. Now the words of infighting will only benefit the third party-of course, after the crisis is over, there will be revenge. If you have complaints, you can do whatever you want.
　　 Bella was a little surprised, did Ai Luo... still notice how she killed Maggie by herself?
　　 When she changed her mind and decided to ally with Ai Luo and betray her companion Maggie, she was not really as cruel as she said. In other words, it is also a companion who has been in love for several years, Bella is not a cold-blooded person, how can he kill as he says?
　　 At that time, she had decided that she would become a queen in the future and lead this country to become stronger, and then repay those who have hurt herself one by one!
　　 Among them is Grand Duke Jon and Ello.
　　 So, Ai Luo has seen through his mind from the beginning?
　　 Bella subconsciously observed Ai Luo's expression, but the latter calmly lowered her head and continued tasting the black tea, which made her somewhat uncertain for a while.
　　 After thinking about it for a moment, she tentatively spoke.
　　 "The special security forces have developed really well over the years, but won't the earl show up? Their actions will only get bigger and bigger now. Without your presiding, you might encounter trouble anytime."
　　 Ai Luo drank the remaining black tea, and poured himself a cup: "Not showing up does not mean there is no contact. They still need a little time to hone. And now, it is indeed not the best time."
　　 "The timing... next year?"
　　 Bella was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to realize something.
　　 Now, the old king's body is deteriorating. A few days ago, he even fainted when he approved the official document. At that time, the court physician asserted that if he continued to work, the old king would not see the heavy snow next year.
The Kingdom of Falkenrich can still maintain a relatively stable situation, largely because the old king is still there. The power and checks and balances he has accumulated over a long period of time have made the various forces in the country quite afraid, even clear The rebel army that proposed to overthrow the kingdom only occupied a corner of the southeast of the kingdom, accumulating strength secretly.
　　 The special security forces are now a new force that cannot be ignored in the capital, and they have even become part of this balance under the secret operation of Bella and Alec. If those great nobles want to eradicate it, they must first consider the consequences.
　　 And the timing mentioned by Ai Luo just now indicates when the old king died.
　　 Then the stability of the entire country will be completely broken, and their opportunity... will come.
　　 "Before I came, I had visited the Marquis of Alec." Ai Luo stood up and bowed a little, "At that time, I will be with him and support Her Royal Highness to become the new queen."
　　 "So, thank you first."
　　 Bella nodded, "If I can become a queen, the Tokamak faction will continue to grow under the protection of Falkenridge."
　　 "That would be better."
　　 Ai Luo put a foot on the window lattice, jumped out, and then disappeared into Bella's sight out of thin air.
　　 "Tokamak..."
　　Bella quietly stared at the empty front, and clenched her hands.
　　 "This faction will continue to grow, but its leader...must be replaced."
　　 On the other side, in the office of the Special Security Forces, Will and Heda, who had just ended the killing war, started to deal with a new batch of official duties after a brief rest.
　　 Speaking of which, the Special Security Force is essentially a team of high-level adventurers, but they belong to the Kingdom of Falkenrich, rather than the Adventurers’ Guild, the largest neutral organization in the Western Continent.
　　 It was originally established, hoping to refer to the flexible characteristics of adventurers to solve some problems that are difficult to solve in the capital according to the normal process. This combination of the two also led them to not only perform tasks, but also deal with complicated official documents.
Carlyle just took Rhodes and Noyce to the lower city on the other side of the capital. Although they returned victorious, they were then told to resolve an emergency dispute, so now only Will and He are left in the headquarters. Up to two people.
　　 If you look at it by usual standards, there is actually no need to be so urgent. But perhaps it was the news that the old king died soon, and now the whole king is enveloped in a layer of anxiety out of thin air. Under this turbulent situation, the workload has also increased invisibly.
　　 It's just that it's dealing with official duties. In fact, it's Heda who is mainly writing, and Will is playing around. He didn't have similar work experience before, and he was watching and learning while assisting.
The room is quiet, only the rustling of pen and paper and the sound of moving documents~EbookFREE.me~ Both of them seem to be very serious. After all, they are the kind of serious and responsible work, with a few thick books. The file gradually thinned over time until it was finally processed.
　　 "Ah, I'm exhausted..."
　　 Will breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped on the chair physically and mentally, stretching his waist.
　　 "Thank you."
　　 Heda smiled and nodded: "Thanks to you, it took only half of the estimated time to complete the work."
　　 Will smiled bitterly and shook his head: "...what hard to say, my workload may be less than one-third of yours, seniors are really amazing."
　　 "This is just a matter of experience. The quasi-dragon knight of the Sky Knights will be the commander of the future, and it is impossible to only learn to fight. Moreover, this kind of mechanical work is actually easy to do as long as you are familiar with it."
　　In the Sky Knights, both the Dragoon General and the Quasi Dragoon General are the only existences, enjoying the same treatment as the generals of the regular army. The former is the commander of all the dragon knights, and the latter is the reserve commander. In other words, if the Dragoon is about to die or retire, the Quasi Dragoon will be promoted to the new Dragoon.
　　 But since Heda came to the Special Security Forces, he has never held a high position in this capacity, so that sometimes everyone even forgets that this woman is actually above Carlyle.
　　 "That's it..."
　　 Will replied seemingly, he seemed to think of something suddenly, his expression hesitated.
　　 Heda glanced at Will, smiled and said, "I think you seem to have something on your mind, why don't you tell me about it?"
　　 Will paused for a while, but still said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just thought of the dungeon and felt a little depressed."
