Great Nobleman

After accepting Hisari's contract.

Brand spoke to Hisari again:

"Mr. Franco has been detained by us in an underground prison.

If you want to chat with him, you can anytime.

In addition, I will give you a holiday these days, but after that, you will work seriously for me. "

At this time, the blush on Hisari's face had faded a lot.

After hearing Brand's words, she walked to Brand's side.

She lifted her skirt slightly and lowered her body, then smiled and said submissively:

"I obey your orders, my master!"

Next, ask the Opera House guards to take the woman to see Franco.

Brand was going to talk to Rias about the next move.

On the way, Brand asked Catherine:

"By the way, did the necklace we got from Mr. Franco's magic pocket and the dressing box where the necklace was placed be given to Hisari?"

Hearing this, Catherine responded:

"I've given it to her. Judging from her reaction, it should be something more important to her."

After hearing this, after a moment of silence, Brand suddenly asked with some doubts:

"Why did Hisari look shy when I walked in?

After signing such a harsh contract, shouldn't Hisari be disappointed?

Or what did you say to her? "

After knowing Brand's question, Catherine replied with a normal expression:

"I just checked her body. This reaction is relatively normal."

After hearing this and recalling what Catherine said after handing him the contract, Brand understood something!

…

As the days passed.

This night.

The eastern border of the Bruns Empire, the earldom of Heselden, and the city of Pritzker.

Mr. Holland, dressed as an elegant gentleman, holding a black umbrella in his hand and wearing a mask on his face, led many of his subordinates and walked through the city streets on a rainy night.

Because of the power of the great knight, the pedestrians passing by did not notice that a large group of people passed by them.

In this state, they arrived at the castle gate in the center of Pritzk.

After silently letting the gate guard "disappear".

The castle door was gently opened and quickly closed.

Some time passed.

The citizens of Pritzker felt that the ground seemed to shake a few times.

Because no reason for the tremor was found, everything in the city was as usual.

So they finally forgot about such trivial matters.

Early the next morning, the citizens of Pritzker were surprised and puzzled to find that the city had been surrounded by the lord's legions.

After some questioning, I found out:

Late last night, the central castle of Pritzker was robbed by unknown forces.

The castle's security circle was silently destroyed, the guards were knocked down by gangsters, the high-level resource library was looted, and the whereabouts of many members of the Heselden family are unknown!

At this time, the central castle of Pritzk City.

When the owner of this territory, Earl Heselden, furiously ordered the family army to track down this group of criminals.

He took out the magic communication device again and prepared to contact the surrounding lords to help seal the territory's borders.

He suddenly received an urgent contact from His Majesty the Emperor of the Bruns Empire.

——The Bruns Empire suddenly held an emergency meeting of nobles!

Listening to His Majesty the Emperor's slow narration, Earl Heselden suddenly understood:

He's not the only one with problems!

Many cities on the eastern border of the Bruns Empire fell into riots last night!

In some places, incidents almost as serious as those in Pritzker occurred!

This is a serious provocation to the Bruns Empire! !

…

This afternoon.

Kingdom of Cardin, Hartley City Opera House.

Brand is sitting in his office, using the blank screen and Mr. Dellin in the command center to learn about the situation.

Dellin said:

“Last night, our operation in the Bruns Empire itself was a complete success.

A total of fifteen members of noble families were captured in this operation, including an heir to an earl family.

There are also two junior Grand Knights, as well as more than a dozen senior mages and knights who can use magical force fields and the power of Grand Knights through secret techniques.

The materials and weapons obtained have not yet been counted.

Currently, our operatives have left the encirclement and are now taking prisoners and supplies along the planned route to the border and leaving the Bruns Empire mainland. "

After hearing these things, Brand asked curiously:

"If such a serious thing was done in the Bruns Empire itself, the Bruns Empire must have responded quickly, right?"

Dellin smiled and nodded:

“It was indeed a quick response, but it didn’t work.

In addition to the fact that they were about to hold a grand mages event, there were many outsiders, and the management was negligent.

Several leaders of the local operations team of the Bruns Empire, including your father, are the top experts in the empire.

In order for the operation to proceed smoothly, the empire not only repeatedly designed the operation process in advance.

In addition, the empire also provided them with various advanced magical artifacts that were helpful in their operations.

With all the conditions combined, it is not surprising that this operation went so smoothly. "

After this explanation, Dellin said:

“Because there is such big news in the Bruns Empire itself, the situation in the Cardan Kingdom should ease.

In addition, the situation of the knight golem production sites in various regions has now been explored.

As long as the Bruns Empire Legion of the Kingdom of Cardan retreats and you are ready, the recovery of the Knight Golem can be put on the agenda. "

Hearing this, Brand nodded quickly and said:

“We will keep a close eye on this.

The regiments of the Bruns Empire have been searching in and around Buxton for so many days now without finding anything, coupled with the events taking place in the Bruns Empire itself.

I think the opportunity we have been waiting for will come soon!

At that time, I will contact the command center through the empty screen and then determine the specific time for the plan. "

After finishing the communication with the command center, he informed Rias of the relevant information and asked the imperial agents to keep an eye on the legions around Buxton.

Brand took out various information about the mage group in the library and began to study it.

It has been more than twenty days since he left the imperial capital and went on a mission.

During this time, in addition to checking various intelligence, discussing and deciding various action plans with Rias, and appreciating the unique customs of the Cardan Kingdom.

Brand did not give up his usual study.

Although because Celine was not around, the study of rune circles and Elvish language came to a standstill.

However, Brand has been continuing to study the library mage group and the official mage field knowledge.

As the sun set and evening approached, Brand, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, was awakened by the loud noise outside the window.

After taking a small sip of the tea on the side.

Brand walked to the window, opened the curtains, and glanced outside.

——As far as the eye can see, Hartley City is filled with rising smoke!

Just when Brand was a little confused.

A young man ran past on the street outside, waving leaflets around and shouting "self-improvement," "independence," "expelling the Bruns Empire," and "overthrowing the royal family and ignorant nobles."

Seeing such a scene, Brand couldn't help but be a little confused.

——Aren’t the nobles to whom Hartley City belongs also part of the anti-Cardin royal family and the anti-Bruns Empire?
