Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 379: Scandal

Allen finally decided to accept Blackiron Castle's invitation and go to the Bloodstone Wilderness a week later to sign a peace agreement with Sir Sharon.

After bidding farewell to the Black Iron Castle's envoy, Belmore secretly returned. The first thing he did when he returned to Storm City was to report the results of his investigation in Black Iron Castle to Alan. Alan could use the information that Belmond had gathered as a basis for deciding on details and attitudes when he met Sir Sharon.

"The Black Iron Castle has a history of more than a hundred years. It has been under the hands of five knights. Sir Sharon is the sixth lord and the longest reigning one."

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Belmond reported, "Sir Sharon himself is a rank 16 knight. He is not very outstanding in terms of personal strength, but he is very skilled in business." The first president of the Iron Flag Chamber of Commerce in Black Iron Castle was actually Sir Sharon. Later, it was handed over to Kam, the current president, to take care of. Also under the rule of the knights, the Black Iron Castle has accumulated a great deal of wealth in just twenty years, making the territory stronger and stronger. "

'Of course, if it was only Sir Sharon, the Black Iron Castle would not have grown to its current size. Nevertheless, Sir Maud of Storm City had more than once made up his mind about it. In the end, Maud and Sharon chose to marry because of Hagrid's existence.'

"Hagrid?" The figure of the middle-aged man in the envoy's group flashed through Alan's mind, "Commander and founder of the Knights of the Black Cloud?"

"Yes, it's this Hagrid." '"Hagrid had already reached level 17 when he founded the Knights. It is said that he has already broken through to level 20 in the past few years. If nothing unexpected happens, his strength is at least around level 18 or level 9. In terms of personal strength, Hagrid's strength is enough to sweep through all the experts in the entire border, including you, boss."

Allen nodded and said, "In terms of rank alone, this is indeed the case. However, in real battles, rank is not the only criterion for victory and defeat. Of course, it is only on the premise that there is not a big difference in rank."

"Anyway, I will be careful of this man. Continue."

"What I heard next is more interesting."

'"But I don't think it's anything unusual for the boss. After all, you noble lords … hehe." Belmond smiled meaningfully. To get to the point, Sir Sharon had two wives, the first of whom, Sua, had been unmarried to him for many years because of her sickness. And so Sir took another wife, Melinda, who was Hagrid's sister. "

"Oh?"

"Before this, Hagrid is just a martial artist. However, when Sir Sharon was still a horse thief, Hagrid had a good relationship with him. After marrying his sister to a knight, Haggers used this opportunity to enter the power center of the Black Iron Castle. In addition, his powerful personal strength and the creation of the Black Cloud Knights. It can be said that Hagrid's influence in the territory is gradually overshadowing Sir Sharon's own. " josei

"This is not good news," said Allen in surprise. "If the master and slave are confused, is Sir Sharon not afraid of being taken over by Higgs?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" "Sir Sharon is so scared that he wouldn't have nurtured a personal guard over the years," said Belmond, shaking his head and smiling. His personal guard captain was stationed in the city lord's mansion, and Tucker was regarded as the knight with the greatest potential to break through to LV20 in the Black Iron Castle after Haggers. If it had not been for this power, Haggers would have driven Sir Sharon off the stage long ago, right? "

"In other words, the Black Iron Castle is not that united. This is noteworthy."

"Not only that, I also said something interesting just now." Belmond shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hagrid and Melinda are still having an affair. Sir Sharon has long heard of this, but because of Hagrid's high position of power, he has not been able to touch him. So this green hat has been on the poor knight's head for many years."

"What?" "Isn't Hagrid and Melinda siblings?"

'"Their relationship is just one-sided. Everyone knows that there are many ways to do things here. Besides, what if it's siblings? This is not the first time I've heard of such a thing." "The important thing is, there are rumors that Hagrid and Melinda have sons of their own. If that's true, what do you think will happen in the future?" Belmond smiled dryly.

Alan thought for a moment and said, "Hagrid doesn't need to stand up for himself at all. He just needs to guard this son." And this son, at least on the surface, is the son of Sir Sharon and Melinda, so he has a legitimate right to inherit. "Well, as long as Hagrid eliminates the competitors for his children and helps him to become the lord of Black Iron Castle, it's no different from sitting in that position himself."

"In that case … I seem to know who that child of his is."

"Oh? Boss is really well-informed." This time it was Belmond's turn to be surprised.

Alan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just guessing, but eight to nine is ten." Not long ago, Hagrid personally served as an envoy, accompanied by a young man. He is Sir Sharon's son Bill. If what you said is true, then Bill should be Haggers' son. But judging from their attitude, Bill doesn't know the truth. "

"If I were Higgs, I wouldn't let him know the truth. The less he knows, the better for Higgs." Belmond smiled.

"You're right." Ellen patted him on the shoulder. "It's been hard on you this time. I'll let you have a few days off. Spend more time with Miss Kira. I can be your witness if you want to get married."

"It's a little early to say that, and in our current situation, I don't have the mood to get married. So does Kira, I think," laughed Belmond.

Alan smiled without saying a word.

A week passed quickly. When the scaffolding started to be erected at the construction site outside the city, Allen left Storm City with a team.

The meeting place with Sir Sharon was set in Dick's lair that day. According to Haggers, it was once the end of the chaos in the Bloodstone Wilderness and the beginning of the peaceful development of Storm City and Black Iron Fort. It was of great significance.

And now, as the initiator, the people from Black Iron Castle had already arrived at the meeting place three days ago.

Most of the stone houses in Dick's lair remained, and the collapsed cellar became a burial ground. There were still traces of the battle that day, as well as dark red blood that had been mixed with sand and stones. Apart from the Black Cloud Knights, Black Iron Castle also had 200 infantry. After this team arrived, they first moved in to clean up the venue that would bring about major changes to the border area and prepare for it.

The day before Alan's departure, Sir Sharon and his personal guards arrived late. Haggers arranged a ventilated room for Sir, and as soon as Sir entered, the personal guards immediately sealed off a large area nearby. Haggers only smiled and told his knights to retreat a little, so as not to create friction with the personal guards at such a critical juncture and make outsiders laugh.

Unexpectedly, at night, a few screams came from Sharon's stone house. Following a woman covered in blood, she ran out of the room and was taken down by the personal guards. A guard pulled out a sharp sword and directly pierced through the woman's heart.

Hagrid heard this and happened to see this scene. He frowned and shook his head as he walked forward. The two guards stood in front of Haggers expressionlessly and said, "My lord, it's late at night. The baron is asleep. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Soldier, I'll give you a chance now. If you don't want to die, scram." Hagrid smiled coldly. In his eyes, these two rank ten personal guards didn't even have the qualifications to block the way.

If he hadn't taken care of them all these years, Haggers would have already taken care of these personal guards. These Sharon-bred dogs thought that they had climbed up to a good master with their eyes above their heads, completely ignorant of life and death. This was not the first time he had clashed with someone like him, but this time, Hagrid was already faintly furious.

His body emitted an invisible killing intent, and the tremendous pressure caused the two personal guards to start to feel overwhelmed. At this moment, a person walked out of the room and chuckled, "They also acted according to the order. They collided with the Guild Leader. Please don't argue with him."

"Tucker." Hagrid narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the young guard commander in front of him.

Tucker wasn't even thirty, but he was already at level 17. He was tall and tall, not as oppressive as Hagrid, but he had his own bearing. The bronze-colored skin made him look as firm as iron. Combined with his profound outline and status, he had become the dream lover of all the girls in the Black Iron Castle.

Even Hagrid had to admit that such a promising young man was truly worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, the two of them weren't on the same side, so Hagrid didn't buy it. He pointed at the female corpse on the ground and said, "This is the female slave I just gave Sir Sharon. Should you explain to me why she is now a corpse?"

Before Tucker could say anything, a rough voice sounded in the stone room, "I told them to kill them!"

Someone came out of the room. This man was even slightly taller than Hagrid. On his rough face, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. Her hair had turned white, but her figure remained the same as that of a young man. Because of the precipitation of time, his body naturally emitted a thick aura. He was like a hard rock on a bloodstone wasteland. No matter how much sand the wind eroded, he still stood upright.

"Lord Baron." Tucker retreated to the side and whispered.

This man was naturally the lord of the Black Iron Castle, Baron Sharon!
