Extreme Knight

Chapter 244: behind the scenes

?? A few hours later, a piece of news spread like lightning throughout the entire capital. Sean Campbell returned, and all the forces that had targeted the Campbell family were wiped out, including the Duke of Warren family.

?? Even Defoe Varun, who was a great knight, was killed, but the one who killed him was actually a young man from the Campbell family. During the whole process, Sean Campbell didn't do anything at all.

?? Killed all the families on the list that targeted the Campbell's family, Sean took House Garcia back to the Campbell's house, let House Garcia go down to rest, and he returned to his yard.

??All the families on the list have been exterminated, but Xiao En couldn't help but sneer. Although all the families on the list that targeted the Campbell family have been exterminated, this matter is not over yet.

??That's right, it's not over yet, and there's still a man behind the scenes who hasn't been found out yet.

He has abandoned that horse for more than a year. Why was he suddenly discovered a month ago, and at the same time, news of his death was spread everywhere. If there is no "person with heart" secretly manipulating it, what is he talking about? I don't believe it.

However, this "spirited person" hides very deeply. He asked all the families who targeted the Campbell family, but he failed to find out who this "spirited person" was. simply do not know.

?? "Brother, brother."

??In the courtyard, a young girl ran in. The girl was wearing a white dress embroidered with jasmine hair, and had a delicate face like a doll. It was Lily, whom she hadn't seen for a year. She had grown a lot taller since she hadn't seen her for a year.

??The girl ran into the courtyard like a gallop, and then threw herself on Sean, her eyes filled with joy.

"came back?"

??He reached out and patted Lily on the shoulder, and Sean said with a smile on his face.

?? "Brother Sean."

??At the entrance of the courtyard gate, a panting girl appeared there.

The girl was wearing a long green dress, with a slender figure, extremely delicate features, and long platinum hair hanging down her waist. Come back and come in a hurry.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

?? Sean greeted the other party with a smile on his face.

??In the middle of the courtyard, three people sat down at a stone table, and the maid Irene served hot tea.

?? Lili and Yiluo Gaoxiu kept telling Sean about their experience this year, and Sean also smiled and told about his own experience this year.

When they heard that Sean was intercepted in the fortress, both of them were extremely nervous. Although they knew that Sean was definitely fine now, they still couldn't avoid being nervous. When they heard that Sean killed all the intercepted people, The two were greatly relieved.

At the same time, Sean also asked about their experiences in the past year. Yiluo Gaoxiu would occasionally travel around the capital with his grandfather Earl Walton, who is strong in the kingdom, and Lily had already started etiquette lessons. , but this little girl is a ghost, and she finds various reasons to skip class from time to time. This time, she went to the Gaoxiu family to play to avoid the etiquette class.

Xiao En listened quietly. He just laughed off the other party's skipping class, and he didn't mean to urge the other party to learn etiquette. He didn't value things like etiquette. Vitality, he would rather not let Lily learn the etiquette.

?? "Yi Luo, has Earl Walton been in the capital recently?"

??He looked at Yiluo Gaoxiu and asked.

?? "Grandpa, he is here, what's the matter?"

??Yiluo Gao Xiu had doubts on his face.

"Nothing."

?? Sean shook his head.

?? "I just want to visit him, wait a minute, when you go back, do you mind if I go with you?"

"ah."

??Yiluo Gaoxiu's face turned red, and it took a while for him to react, saying repeatedly.

?? "I don't mind, I don't mind, Grandpa will be very happy to know that you will visit him."

??Sean's face remained unchanged. He probably guessed what Yiluo Gaoxiu was thinking. For some reasons, he had to meet Earl Walton, so this trip to Gaoxiu's family was imperative.

More than an hour later, a carriage drove out of Campbell's house and drove towards the Gaoxiu family. In the carriage, there were not only Sean and Yiluo Gaoxiu, but also Lily. Sean's personality remained unchanged.

??At this time, the Campbell's house was already bustling, and many families from the royal capital who hadn't been to the Campbell's house for a long time came to visit again.

However, this time, Campbell was not as talkative as before. Most families did not give the opportunity to enter the door. During this year, when the Campbell family was in distress, the families who extended a helping hand received the warm hospitality of the Campbell family.

?? Half an hour later, a carriage drove into a huge mansion. The buildings in the mansion had a quaint style that was different from other houses, full of tranquility.

??The Gaoxiu family is a veteran family in the royal capital with a very long history. It seems to be a meritorious family when the Carlo Kingdom was established.

??After learning that Sean was coming to visit, the Patriarch of the Gaoxiu family, Walter Gaoxiu, warmly received Sean. After learning of Sean's intentions, he even took Sean to Earl Walton's residence.

??Yiluo Gaoxiu and Lili were left behind by him with an excuse, and he didn't let them go with them, because he knew that Sean must have important business with Earl Walton.

?? "Earl Sean, long time no see. I didn't expect that after you came back, the first thing you saw was me, a bad old man."

??Earl Walton has white hair all over his head, but his face is not old, but has a little immatureness of a baby.

??The road of knight training begins with a paladin, and the body functions will gradually change, and eventually become different from ordinary people, and truly become an existence that is detached from ordinary people.

??Even though he is only at the beginning of his transformation, Earl Walton has still gained some benefits. Although he is not young anymore, the functions of his body organs are still very good.

?? "Thank you Earl for taking care of Campbell's family this year."

?? Sean saluted respectfully.

This gift is Sean's sincerity. Without the care of Earl Wharton this year, Campbell would definitely not be able to persist until Sean came back. The most likely thing would be to be killed by the Warren family. With the care of the Earl, the Warren family did not dare to do anything openly, and could only suppress and persecute the Campbell family through business means.

?? "Earl Sean is serious."

?? Earl Walton said.

?? "The merits you have made for the kingdom are worthy of me."

??Looking at Earl Walton, Sean said solemnly.

?? "Earl Wharton, I have one more thing to ask you this time."

??Aware of the seriousness in Xiao En's words, Earl Walton's expression turned serious.

"What do you want to know?"

?? "Who spread the news that I'm dead?"

Sean said with a slightly cold voice, it can be said that it was precisely because of this news that the Campbell family was besieged by major families. Relatively speaking, the Warren family and other families were just being used by others. That's all.

??Hearing Sean's words, Earl Bolton didn't answer right away. After a long time, he frowned slightly and spoke.

?? "What would you do if you knew who this person was?"

There was a hint of strangeness in Xiao En's expression, which would actually make Earl Wilton show hesitation. I am afraid that the identity of the person who spread the news is unusual. However, no matter how noble this person's identity is, he will never let it go like this. Pass this person, he said with a cold face.

?? "It depends on the specific situation, but it is definitely impossible to be lighthearted."

"Why."

??Earl Walton sighed and said,

?? "If I don't tell you, you should ask other people, right?"

"Um."

?? Sean nodded affirmatively.

Although this person hides very deeply, there should be a few forces in the capital that have intelligence capabilities to investigate this person's identity. If Earl Walton doesn't get the information he wants, he will naturally go all out. A visit to these families.

?? "Forget it, don't bother, I'll tell you."

?? Earl Walton said with a hint of helplessness in his expression.

?? "It's Your Highness Babbitt!"

"It's him?"

??Sean showed surprise on his face, he finally understood why Earl Walton hesitated so much.

Babbitt Katikoan, the 19th son of Katikoan 74th, is very valued by Katikoan 74th, and has been appointed as the next successor of the Kingdom of Carlo. No wonder Wall Earl Ton would be so embarrassing.

?? "I don't remember having any trouble with him."

?? Sean frowned slightly, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something.

?? "Is it because of the marriage granted by the royal family?"

The only thing he has anything to do with Babbitt Katikoan is the marriage bestowed by the royal family back then. The princess who was bestowed on him by King Katikoan 74 is this Babbitt Katikoan. His Highness Katikoan's younger sister.

?? "We don't know what the reason is, but I heard that after you refused the marriage offer from King Katikoan 74, the princess cried a lot, and even got seriously ill because of it."

??Earl Walton shook his head.

?? "Since then, His Highness Babbitt seems to have had a prejudice against you, but we didn't expect him to do such a thing. When we wanted to stop it, it was too late."

?? "Thank you."

?? After thanking Earl Walton, Sean walked out of the courtyard. Now that he knew who the person behind the scenes was, it was self-evident where he was going next.

?? "How are you going to handle this?"

?? Behind him, Earl Walton asked anxiously.

?? "No one can not pay the price for doing something wrong."

??Sean had a cold look on his face. No matter what the reason was, as long as he did it, he would naturally have to pay a price. This point, even His Royal Highness, was no exception, at least for him, Sean.
