The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Led by the guards, Vaughan walked out of the palace, got in his own carriage and went straight home.

The Duke of Constance's Palace is Vaughan's residence.

Although the Const family has many fiefdoms outside, Vaughn, as the patriarch of the Const family, has always stayed in the imperial capital, Panivia.

Many nobles felt that this was a form of imprisonment of Vaughan by Patra IX, and also a warning to the Const family, warning the Const family not to have any ulterior motives.

But only the diehard fans of the Const family know that the Const family and the Patra royal family have never been enemies that need to be wary of each other, but rather the most solid allies.

The Const family is actually a distant relative of the Patras royal family and has a trace of royal blood, but with such blood it is impossible for them to have the right of inheritance, so the Patras royal family has great trust in the Const family.

The fact that three consecutive generations of prime ministers were from the Const family is a reflection of this trust.

Chapter 224 Find Her

Many great nobles were jealous of the Const family, but no one dared to confront them.

Especially when Patra IX and Vaughan joined forces to carry out huge reforms on the Patra Empire, giving this ancient empire new vitality.

The grass on the graves of all the nobles who stood in the way of the iron-blooded King Patra IX and his strong-arm Prime Minister Vaughan is now two meters high.

This is also why Patra IX looked down on those nobles.

During that reform, he had already seen through the true nature of these corrupt aristocrats.

Cowardly, opportunistic, profit-driven, but too obsessed with face and completely vulnerable.

With just a few tricks, he got rid of most of the nobles who disobeyed him, leaving only the obedient and open-minded ones.

Vaughan saw the determination of Patra IX in that reform, which was why he finally resigned from his position as prime minister and retired at home.

Although his son inherited his position in the end, fortunately Patra IX did not care about it. Instead, he valued his son very much, which made Vaughn feel a little relieved.

As soon as Vaughn entered the door, he saw his son about to go out.

"You are going to see His Majesty?"

Vaughan's expression was serious.

"Father, I do want to go find His Majesty."

Vaughan's son saw that his father's face was very solemn, and he didn't know why.

"I know everything about you. His Majesty has also told me. Don't mention this matter to His Majesty again."

Vaughn patted his son on the shoulder and admonished him.

"Why is this? Is it because..."

Vaughan's son didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned a little ugly.

"It's not what you think. This matter is not something you can persuade. It involves a secret from a long time ago, and it is a royal secret. You don't want to know."

When Vaughn saw the look on his son's face, he knew what he was thinking.

So he had to explain briefly.

"Anyway, don't worry about it. Just pretend it didn't happen and do what you normally do."

"I understand, Father."

After listening to his father's explanation, he finally understood why his father didn't let him go to persuade her.

Finally I knew what I was doing.

"Father, I'm going out for a while."

So he hurried away to clean up the mess he had left behind.

"Hey~"

Vaughn watched his son leave, sighed and shook his head.

My son's ability is really average, I can only say that he is just okay.

The reason why His Majesty values him is simply because he is from the Const family and is loyal enough.

So Vaughn isn't worried about his son's safety.

After all, there are a lot of capable people in the empire, but there are very few people who are both capable and loyal enough.

After all, the more capable you are, the more ambitious you are, and the greater your ambition, the less loyalty you naturally have.

"Go and get Elena. I'll be waiting for her in the study."

Vaughan said to the servant beside him.

The servant nodded his head and trotted away.

Vaughn returned to the study, opened the barrier in the room, and then opened the secret letter to read it.

About a quarter of an hour later, Elena came to Vaughn's study wearing leather armor and a sword hanging around her waist.

Ordinary people cannot enter this study with weapons, but Elena is one of the special few.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Elena looks heroic and has a heroic temperament.

Vaughan did not answer. He stared at the words and pictures on the letter.

Seeing that her grandfather didn't reply, Elena didn't ask any more questions. She just stood there straight and waited quietly for Vaughn to speak.

After five minutes, Vaughn raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He came to his senses and noticed that his granddaughter had arrived.

"I have a top-secret mission for you."

"What mission?"

Elena was not frightened by the word "top-secret mission" at all. Instead, she looked quite expectant.

"Your Majesty's secret order requires you to go to the White Tower to find someone. The secret teleportation array in the palace will be opened for you. When the time comes, you can use the teleportation array to go directly to the White Tower."

Vaughn said as he handed the secret letter to Elena.

"Take a look at it yourself, and then destroy the secret letter completely after you remember it."

Elena took the letter, read its contents, and finally firmly imprinted the simple portrait on the letter in her mind so as not to forget it.

"I remember."

As Elena spoke, she completely destroyed the secret letter with magic power, leaving no ashes behind.

"Looking for this person called..."

"You don't have to say it. You don't have to say the name. Just remember it."

Vaughn stopped Elena from saying the name of the person she needed to find.

"You may speak this name within the White Tower, but you must not do so outside of it, and especially not in Panivia."

"why is that?"

Elena was curious, was there any curse on this name?

"This name carries a curse, and it is a curse of disaster."

As if he could see what his granddaughter was thinking, Vaughn directly answered Elena's question.

"I understand."

Elena's expression became much more serious.

No matter who he is, as long as he is from the continent of Endrol, when he hears the curse of disaster, he will become careful and cautious.

Because the Curse of Disaster is the most dangerous existence on the continent of Endrol.

The principle is unknown, the formation is unknown, the appearance is unknown, the selection is unknown, the transfer is unknown, and the power is unknown.

These six unknowns are enough to illustrate how dangerous the Curse of Disaster is.

If you are really entangled by the curse of disaster, even a legendary level will be in danger of falling. This is not a rumor, but a fact recorded in the adventure atlas of the Adventurer's Guild.

The best option when facing the curse of disaster is to ignore it.

So as soon as Vaughn explained, Elena immediately stopped asking questions and was no longer curious.

"This matter is very important to Your Majesty. So you must be determined to complete it!"

Vaughn doted on his capable granddaughter, but because it was a secret order from His Majesty, he had to make Elena understand the importance of this matter.

"Yes!"

Because Vaughn used the word "important" twice in a row, Elena immediately understood the importance of the matter.

"Grandpa, when should I leave?"

"The sooner the better. Go back and pack your things and go to the palace right away with the necessities."

After Vaughn finished speaking, he took out a key from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Take this one-time key to the family treasure house. Pick two treasures from it that can protect you."

"Thank you, Grandpa!~~"

When Elena heard that she could choose two treasures from the family treasury, her eyes lit up.

She had long wanted a powerful weapon, and now she finally had it.

After that, you can choose a treasure that can protect people, and you can better complete the task of finding people.

"Go."

Vaughn watched Elena leave with a clear expression on her face, and he couldn't help feeling worried.

"Your Majesty, what exactly are you..."

Vaughan sincerely hopes that this is not the worst case scenario.

Otherwise, the entire Patra Empire would definitely fall into turmoil.

Chapter 225 Blockade

It is normal to travel for two days in a row.

Normal progress, normal encounters with adventurers, normal encounters with monsters, normal killing of monsters...

It's such a normal adventure.

But Lisha's face became worse and worse.

Because it's too normal.

Or too normal.

Can an adventure that follows a routine plan without any unexpected incidents be called an adventure?

Obviously it can't be done.

But what Lisha's team is experiencing now is just such a routine adventure.

It was as if everything on the road was arranged by someone. The girl who called herself Phoebe always encountered things that interested her and her questions were answered along the way.

Phoebe seemed very happy all the way.

On the contrary, Lisha’s expression became more serious.

The stage has been set, when will the actors go on stage?

......

“This is the worst possible scenario…”

Elena looked at the three assassins in front of her, and the smile on her face disappeared.

One is at the gold level, and two are at the peak of the silver level.

"The Assassin's Guild really thinks highly of me."

As a swordsman, Elena hates assassins the most.

Because fighting an assassin requires extreme caution.
