"My grandfather was also a general of the Xingri Empire, guarding the northwest border of the empire all the year round." Therons did not interrupt Edmund's memories, and he knew in his heart that Rick should be a figure of his grandfather's generation, " The northwest of the empire is bordered by the vast wild plains where the Miroland Empire and the orcs live together, and the empire and the Miroland Empire have joined forces many times to resist the attacks of the orcs."

"The orcs are notoriously fierce and combative on the mainland. In addition, the orcs themselves are not good at planting and management. Whenever there is a famine due to natural disasters, all tribes will temporarily unite to attack human cities and plunder."

"It is said that the relationship between the Miloran Empire and our country was not harmonious for a while, and it has only improved in the past few years. Could it be that there was an accident when resisting the attack of the orcs?" Therons couldn't help but said, he still knew about the wild plain from the book In some cases, there are monsters and orcs, and the orcs rely on hunting for a living, so the orcs are so powerful that every orc, regardless of gender, can go to the battlefield to fight.

But in normal times, the tribes of the orcs on the wild plains are separated and not unified. The main reason is that there are several major tribes with equal strength, and no one obeys the other, resulting in a situation of silos. Powerful tribes to survive.

Entering the barren plain, whether it is a beastman or a human, there is a great chance that they will encounter the biggest killer on the plain—the Gale Wolves. The third-level Gale Wolves are not terrible for the magic core masters. What is terrible is that once the Gale Wolves There are dozens of wolves at least. If you encounter thousands of Gale wolves, it will become a terrible nightmare for life.Usually, the leader wolf of the wolf pack is higher than the ordinary Gale wolf, and the wolf king is more likely to be a monster of around eighth level. This is the real overlord on the wild plain.

Because of this situation, no matter whether it is the Miloran Empire or the Xingri Empire, they have always maintained a passive defense against the orc tribes. No one wants to take the initiative to invade the wild plain. Under the joint attack of the orc tribes who live on the plains, it is hard to imagine that the human army has a chance to turn around. The orcs are powerful, and the living environment on the plains is even more difficult.

"You guessed right. I was not born a few years ago. The situation in the northwest border was tense due to the severe drought in Manhuangping. When preparing for the war, an army of orcs suddenly came out and beat the border by surprise. Grandpa was resisting. Several times I asked for help from the Mirolan Empire, which was defending together, but I didn’t see Miroland’s army appear until the time of my death. Rick was my grandfather’s personal bodyguard, and he was entrusted by my grandfather to break out of the orc encirclement and ask for help from the imperial capital. I encountered an ambush on the way, and although I managed to escape in the end, I was seriously injured and the magic core was broken."

Seeing the gloom in Edmund's eyes when he told the story, Therons couldn't help trembling. Just by imagining how critical and cruel the situation was at that time, and everything was probably a conspiracy, which eventually led to the death of Edmund's mother. There is no supporting force, and he, the prince, has no status at all.

"Hehe, you are so smart, you can imagine the final result. My grandfather died in battle, and my uncle was not spared either. After mother and concubine found out, she passed out on the spot. In the end, it was my father's father who made mother and concubine unable to hold on." According to the decree, not only did my grandfather and his family have no military exploits, but because of the inability to guard the border, the orcs broke into the border to loot and ask for punishment."

Seeing that although Edmund smiled, it was uglier than crying. Therons put his hand on his hand without thinking, and saw him turn around and smile, and said, "It's okay, I was young at that time, so I didn't know much. My impression is that I haven’t even met my grandfather, and I only found out about the whole thing when I met Rick later. My grandfather’s straightforward temper is easier to offend people, and my grandfather’s family is also considered a commoner aristocrat, and he got rid of the commoners step by step with military merit His status was granted a knighthood, so it is reasonable to be unpopular. What happened back then was nothing more than the result of the joint efforts between Miloran and us."

What Therons wanted to hear was Rick's glorious past, but what he didn't expect was the experience of Edmund and his mother, concubine and grandfather. Last time he just said lightly that his mother was not favored and died young. But he revealed the cruel truth behind it to himself.

"Don't you hate? You don't want to take revenge on those who framed you? If not, maybe you..." Therons wanted to say that maybe the fifth prince would have a different fate, even if he was not as good as the crown prince, he would still be in control of one side because of his grandfather. The military power is valued by his father and powerful ministers, isn't it reduced to a situation where he is bullied and ignored by everyone, and as a prince, doesn't he really yearn for imperial power?

Edmund put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out and pulled Therons to hug him. Although he was not used to such a weak posture, he just struggled for a while and let him hug him. Seeing him put his chin on his shoulder On the ground, although the temperature in the room is lower than outside, the breath still feels hot on the ears.

Therons really didn't want to admit that his heart softened at this moment. It was clearly a warning sign of danger, but his body didn't dodge it.

"At first it was hate, especially, you know, I didn't have a good time in the palace in those years, so I was very impulsive after hearing what Rick said. It was Rick's persuasion that calmed me down. He said that grandpa finally I left a last word, my grandfather foresaw the possible situation after his death in battle, and he didn't want my grandson to avenge him, but only hoped that I could be an idle prince and not participate in the struggle for imperial power, heh, although I have never seen it Grandpa, outsiders also criticize him a lot, but he is a good grandpa, right."

Edmund narrowed his eyes, his grandfather was a general, but his mother and concubine did not inherit much of his grandfather's disposition, and left himself behind under the double blow. Although he had never met his grandfather, it was the only thing he did for himself. The loved ones he cared about had a higher position in his heart than his mother and concubine.It was precisely because of this that he was extremely contradictory. He didn't want to violate his grandfather's last will, but also wanted to reveal the truth behind the scenes and return his grandfather justice.

For Rick, he respects him very much, so after meeting Moore in the Lost Forest that time, he brazenly made friends with this master alchemist, hoping to restore Rick's strength one day, and he himself can also have an extra layer of protection .

"Yes, so no matter what choice you make, it's all human." Therons was hugged tightly by the people behind him, patted the hands around his waist to comfort him, and understood his contradiction. He also understands his grandfather's worries. If such a prince without any background participates in the struggle for imperial power, he may have a rare and happy death, so it is better to stay out of it.

He is different from himself. Although he has the influence of the memory of the previous 13 years, but after all, the character of Lin Yiyuan in the previous life dominates, so his feelings for the Bassant family are getting weaker and weaker, so he can drift away. Edmund is in the situation Difficult to choose.

------------------------------------

With the previous sincerity, Therons was speechless in the face of Edmund's increasingly clingy attitude. Did this person make up his mind to use his soft heart to "force" himself to submit?Therons always felt that there was a fox's tail flicking behind this person, and Therons was very distressed.

Fortunately, his trip was half public and half private. The crown prince knew that he was coming to the imperial capital, so he didn't see him after dinner.Therons didn't ask him what business he was doing in the imperial capital, and he was already getting deeper and deeper.Therons held a book and lay on the bed to read, and there was a plate of fruit in hand, and he did not feel lonely in a strange environment.

Emperor always wants to go shopping, but now he is too lazy to move by himself. Parti and Slin should come to him in two days. Even if they are not free, they will ask someone to bring him a message.

When Edmund came back in the middle of the night, what he saw was Therons who was sound asleep. Someone came in and didn't make him shake his head at all. He took the opportunity to pinch his face. Now that he came, he But I don't want to let him go anymore.If he was in his own position, he would definitely run away as far as his grandfather said as an idle prince.

He already knew about the follow-up incident of the Bassant family asking for medicine. When he knew that his uncle didn't recognize him, Edmund didn't know whether to be angry or thankful for him. He had a grandfather and Rick took care of him, but This person's parents and relatives were all there but no one really cared about him. When pity arose in his heart, the movements of his hands also slowed down, and his fingers gently traced this person's face.

She bent down and stamped his lips, and said good night softly.

When Therons woke up the next day, he saw Edmund with a different appearance. It seemed that although not many people knew him, it was inevitable that his appearance had changed.According to him, this is a secret technique of the raccoon clan. In fact, it uses illusion to make people think that what they see is real. Only when the level of the awakened magic core is high enough, will they get a certain corresponding increase in cultivation base. He has the skills and secret arts of Warcraft, so he is born with the ability to practice illusion.

In contrast, Therons thought, could it be that his magic plant carries a space and the ability to communicate with plants is also a special skill and secret technique?

"What? You said that the grizzly bear encountered an ogre?!" Therons, who was having breakfast, was almost choked, and quickly took a drink from the cup that Edmund handed him. Then he gasped and stared at the man. With just one glance, you deliberately framed yourself?

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you." Edmund smirked while patting his back for comfort, "Isn't that what you want to hear."

"There are such creatures as ogres? Do they really eat people?" Although he was very curious, after saying this, Therons felt that the delicious breakfast was hard to swallow, and even entered the food in his stomach. They all churn up.

Seeing his face turn pale, Edmund pushed away the plate in front of him, he got up and sat down beside him, made a cup of green tea and brought it to him, "If I knew your reaction, I shouldn't have teased you." He said I also regret it.

"It's okay, I want to hear, the grizzly is okay with you." Therons took a sip of the tea and felt much better. He still wanted to listen. He still had some records about this in the book before. I don't believe it, I didn't expect it to exist.

"The ogres are three meters tall, and they are very ferocious by nature. They really live up to their name." Therons' face turned pale again, and it seemed that they were really cannibals. "But they are all in the swamp forest, the grizzly bear It happened when I brought people in there, there was a grizzly bear before the ogre was no match for human beings, after he passed by, I gave some people to let him practice, by the way, I formed a mercenary group to facilitate operations there.”
