The sudden outbreak of war had no room for buffering. On the third day of the royal letter, the high court knights and soldiers who were ready to go boarded a large number of transport ships moored in the river outside the castle.

It is not convenient to wear heavy armor during naval warfare, but if the war goes well, land war will also occur, so the knights still brought their respective plate armor.

Even the Duke of Tyriel is no exception.

The core team, led by the majestic Duke of the River Bay, stepped onto the ship. As the "visitor" designated by His Majesty the King, Lan Li, a little guy, was also in this ranks, but before boarding the ship, he was in trouble.

"You don't care about our friendship too much, Lanley." The brown-haired boy Vilas, who came to see him off, looked full of resentment as he spoke.

"It was clearly what I asked first, how could you leave me alone?"

His petition plan died because the Duchess talked to him about the matter in person the night before yesterday, and finally Veras had to compromise.

But he clearly failed, but the person in front of him who was unhappy to join at first succeeded...

"I can't do anything, either."

Lan Li blinked and replied, "This is all your father's decision."

"Then why don't you add me too?" Veras didn't know about Lanli's forgery process, but he knew that the sudden letter must be fake, so the result was not difficult to guess.

"You are too strange, and it will cause your father's dissatisfaction." Lan Li answered seriously, then stood on tiptoe and patted the other person's shoulder: "Stay at Gaoting. I wish you a happy hunting operation in the near future. When I come back, I will tell you about the specific situation of the war."

"Don't want me to help you hide this matter." Veras said dissatisfied.

"I believe you will." Lan Li replied with a smile, then ignored the expression of the man, stepped onto the ship, and led by the guards to head towards the arranged cabin room.

At the same time, he began to think about this voyage in his mind.

Soon after, these transport ships moored on the banks of the river will follow this river called the Mander River toward the west coast.

Their destination was to head to the Shield Islands off the west coast, with the river berths there.

Lan Li's accompanying stage was limited to this, or he did not have the idea of ​​staying in the fleet all the time.

His goal was to find the rumored Jaspi, instead of going to watch the war, and the curse he had made him dare not really follow the fleet in the ocean.

Otherwise, if a storm is really summoned, then this war will be defeated.

...

On the stone bridge, watching the slowly moving ship, Vilas Tyriel felt quite complicated.

On the one hand, he was depressed that the initiator was abandoned in the territory. On the other hand, he was surprised by Renli's unexpected method.

As a very precocious nobleman, Vilas is smart and studious, and knows how to go about his future path. Therefore, his goal is clear. He proposed the idea of ​​following the army before. Although the idea of ​​a young man's unique curiosity is caused by the more curiosity, he actually wants to increase his corresponding insights for himself.

Although the black-haired boy was a little surprised by his premature wisdom, he also knew that person was "no ambition" and lazy, and had no mature plans and ideas for his future lord career during daily chats. It seemed that he was no different from those guys who relied on his identity to live.

But when the problem arose, the little guy who he thought was a waste of life was far faster than him, while he, who believed that he had mature thoughts, could only stand there and look at the other person's back stupidly...

"What's wrong with you, Vilas?"

The fat little man in green clothes pulled the corner of the brown-haired boy's clothes down and asked curiously: "Do you want to leave your father?"

"Nothing, Garland." The brown-haired boy sighed, "I suddenly felt that there was still a lot of things I needed to learn."

These words made the fat man seem to understand.

"You mean to learn to identify the stars in the sky? There are so many stars in the sky, of course you have to learn a lot."

"Astronomy is just a personal hobby, I mean something else..."

While talking, the two brothers and the farewell party had already returned to the castle.

That night the atmosphere in the castle became a little deserted. There was no such an annoying guy who played the harp and harassed every day. The brown-haired boy who practiced charging with a gun was still at a loss.

So he finished his practice early before dark, wiped his sweat, and walked towards the Bachelor's Tower.

It was not yet time, so he was going to have dinner after reading the book.

But before Vilas could walk to the Bachelor's Tower, he suddenly saw a stranger appearing in his sight.

It was a woman talking to the maid. She was tall and slender, with her back to him. Her long silver hair draped on a black cloak made Vilas subconsciously think of her mother, but when she looked closely, her hair color was not much the same as her mother...

Who is this?

A curiosity arose in Vilas's heart, and at the same time, as if he had noticed his gaze, the woman in black cape suddenly turned around and looked at him.

It was a delicate but weird face. At first glance, it looked very young and beautiful, but when I looked again, I seemed to see an old man who had experienced vicissitudes. Under the dim light, my dark blue eyes seemed to be full of tough aggressiveness, which made the brown-haired boy who had not experienced any storms and waves tighten his mind.

However, he was not nervous for long, and the man turned around and quickly left, disappearing from his sight in a few breaths.

"Who is that person just now?" Vilas looked dazed for a moment, and finally called the maid to ask.

"It's someone from the wife's family." The maid replied.

"Why don't I know about my mother's relative?" Veras was stunned when he heard this.

"this……"

The maid looked confused at this: "I don't know, young master, but if it weren't for the wife's family, how could she enter the castle?"

When Vilas heard this, he felt a sank and asked, "What did she say to you?"

"Inquiry about some things, personality, appearance, temper, and ask if there are any quirks or something." The maid replied.

"What about other than these?"

"And also ask him where he went."

The maid said, and asked carefully: "Have I been in trouble? Master?"

"No, maybe it's because I don't know that someone from my mother's family came." Villas replied comfortably. He didn't want to cause any panic in the castle or let some gossip spread.

The maid felt relieved when she heard this, and the brown-haired boy asked again: "Did she say what her name is?"
