Chapter 106 Brett Igor?
"Mr. Bright?"
Elsie was escorting Knight Peter when they arrived at the North Gate. Unexpectedly, they encountered Mr. Bright, and Elsie quickly stepped forward to pay her respects.
After Mr. Bright returned, he seemed to have gone into seclusion. Who would have thought that a viscount, the kind of viscount who saved the entire refugee camp upon his return, would still stick to his job as a corpse collector?
"Hmm..." Bright smiled at Elsie, "Didn't the Lady of the City Lord come?"
Elsie was taken aback, then said, "Yes, today is just about returning the prisoners. There's really no need for someone like Lord Elsie to come. I'm enough."
Blake nodded, looking at the legendary super sycophant Peter, who was also looking directly at the mysterious figure who had shattered his hopes.
Who would have thought that after so many years of planning by the Heart of the Forest, even someone with an imperial background like Inspector Lady fell, a lowly corpse keeper could actually turn the tide?
Moreover, he had heard that the other party was married into the Igor family, a noble family that even Eliza had to be wary of in Holy Stone City.
Judging by his age, he must be in his early twenties.
Such a beautiful age, so young and full of life, yet it's already an achievement that many people strive for half their lives without ever seeing a glimmer of hope. Why is there such a huge gap in fate and destiny between people?
"We meet again, Sir Peter," Bright said with a smile.
"So someone as grown up as you still remembers me?" Peter grinned.
At the time, he was just a minor figure; the real important person was the Knight Commander.
"You are a very remarkable person, and you certainly deserve to be remembered."
"7
Peter was taken aback, his expression clearly changing. What did the other person say?
Am I a powerful person?
Is that what he was thinking?
For some reason, a feeling arose in my heart that was even more positive than being praised by the Duke.
The Duke praised him because he wanted to continue using him, but the other party was not like that. Someone of the other party's status had no reason to use him, so saying such a thing was very likely... to be sincere.
"Someone like me..." After a long silence, Peter sighed, "How could I possibly deserve such a comment from you?"
"To infiltrate the Empire without missing a single detail requires not only courage but also unwavering patience. I have observed many people in Holy Stone City, and the only one I missed was you. Otherwise, Eliza would not have been in such a dangerous situation. If you had been in a higher position back then, the situation in Holy Stone City might not be what it is now. So when I say you are very capable, I am not just being polite."
Peter stared at the other person blankly for a long time, then finally nodded: "Thank you..."
"7
Bright smiled and looked at Elsie again: "Let's go."
"My lord?" Elsie was taken aback.
"I'm a little worried about him, and I'm also a little worried about you, so I came to check on you."
Don't you trust me?
Elsie was somewhat surprised by what the other party would say. Did she seem that unreliable? It was just a matter of escorting a prisoner in exchange.
But Elsie was a rather perceptive person and quickly noticed the abnormality.
The other party just praised Peter as a capable person in front of me, but now they say they don't trust him or me? Could it be... that Peter might be a threat to me?
That shouldn't be the case. Putting aside the fact that I haven't offended Peter in any way, even if he hates Mrs. Elizabeth, there's no need for him to risk diplomatic relations between the two countries by taking action against me, is there?
He's still bound and controlled. Isn't he just a level 0 knight? If it really comes down to a fight, I might not necessarily lose.
Multiple doubts gave Elsie a bad feeling, and she felt that Mr. Bright's visit this time was not so simple.
"Let's go..." Mr. Bright gestured for the Elsie Knight to lead the way, but Peter looked at Bright with a strange expression. Could this guy have anticipated Eliza's actions?
Elsie keenly sensed Peter's shock and immediately became extremely wary. This Peter... actually wanted to cause trouble?
As the escort team arrived outside the city, the players disguised as refugees watched the spectacle from a distance, while on the other side was a welcoming team that had been waiting for a long time. Leading the team was a young man wearing light white armor, none other than Beckhill, the representative of Duke Raven's think tank.
The Earl's identity?
The noble armor and the noble badges on the shoulders clearly demonstrated the other party's distinguished status!
Elsie immediately realized something was wrong. The other side had sent a count to take a knight-level prisoner.
Does Lady Eliza know about this? If we consider the other party's status and the proper etiquette, Lady Eliza should attend in person. Someone as lowly as a knight like myself is indeed not qualified.
"Let's go..." Bright took a step forward, and Elsie's heart immediately eased a little. Fortunately, Mr. Bright came along. There are not many viscounts in the entire Holy Stone City now, and with Mr. Bright's status, he should be considered an equal.
"Is this your Milandir etiquette?" Beckhill smiled gently, his tone mild, but his words were sharp.
Several knights stood behind him, their eyes clearly filled with hostility.
Elsie frowned, and the samurai behind her gripped their swords nervously, their unease growing stronger.
"Sir Peter, it's been a long time?" Beckhill laughed, completely ignoring Elsie and Bright beside him.
"Lord Beckhill, I am truly sorry that I cannot bow to you," Peter said quietly, looking up.
"No need for such formalities. As long as you have enough value, your status will soon be no worse than mine." Baker Hill smoothly painted a rosy picture.
"Is that so?" Peter said directly, "I have suffered a great deal of humiliation. Surely the Duke wouldn't allow his knight to return with such disgrace?"
"What do you want?" Beckhill narrowed his eyes slightly. He had sensed something was wrong from the moment Eliza didn't come in person. It seemed that Peter had come with a purpose.
"I need a reputation, not to go back as a prisoner, but to fight my way back from the enemy lines."
Upon hearing this, Elsie felt a chill run down her spine!
This sounds so unbelievable; unless the guy on the other end is an idiot, he shouldn't agree. But for some reason, she feels that he might agree.
As expected, Beckhill did not immediately mock the other party's stupidity. Instead, he silently glanced at Peter, and then at Elsie and the others.
During the escort, Knight Peter suddenly broke out and killed all the escorting knights. He did not return as a prisoner. Diplomatically, although this would anger Mirandil, it would not cause too much of a stir, since only a female knight and a few knights had died.
Beckhill looked at the nervous female knight and sighed slightly. She was a good warrior, and she had a keen sense of danger. She was young but had a good foundation. Moreover, she was a female knight, which made her the most suitable person to be taken as a confidante. Even he didn't understand why Eliza intended to kill her.
"The prisoners have been delivered. Is there anything else you wish to say, Count?" Elsie asked, bracing herself for the challenge.
"Wasn't that what I was just asking?" Beckhill laughed. "Why is Mirandier so ill-mannered?"
Normally, this would be unnecessary, but the fact that Peter dared to make this request shows that he had enough confidence and sufficient intelligence!
After hesitating for only two seconds, Beckhill waved his hand, and the knights behind him revealed sinister smiles.
Are you crazy?
Elsie's face turned pale. She never expected that delivering a prisoner would lead to such a situation. Why?
The players in the distance watched from afar, not daring to approach. Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Bright took a small step forward, his mental energy overflowing. The massive mental energy immediately made the knights who were about to make a move pause.
Beckhill was also taken aback. A magic-based professional?
Why would a magic-based class be in a party led by a knight? And his mental strength... it felt like he was already a level 40 advanced magic-based class.
Magic-based classes are inherently difficult to cultivate. A level 40 mage and a level 40 warrior are not on the same level. Even under the leadership of the talented Duke of Raven, a level 40 magic-based class can earn the position of earl. How could there be such a person in Holy Stone City?
Could it be from Milan Dier?
Peter was also shocked. Wasn't this Mr. Bright a fighter? How could he have such a level of mental strength?
"And you are?" Baker Hilton asked, his initial disdain gone.
"Bright Igor, greetings, Your Excellency. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the renowned Lord Beckshire?"
Igor?
Beckhill's face darkened. Had Peter gone mad? Members of the Igor family were here, and he was making such an insolent request?
If it were just a matter of killing some knights and warriors, such a minor diplomatic friction could be easily quelled in many ways. However, if members of the Igor family were to die in such a pointless conflict, given the Igor family's style, that would be a truly major diplomatic incident!
Most importantly, the other party is such a high-level magic-based professional, and seems to be even younger than himself. Such an outstanding junior must have a high status in the Igor family.
"I apologize for Sir Elsie's rudeness just now. According to etiquette, I should have been introduced first," Bright said with a smile. "I find Sir Peter's request to be extremely impolite. A mere prisoner shouldn't be worth Lord Beckhill going to such lengths, should he? Or is there some extraordinary secret he possesses that could coerce you into doing this?"
