Goatman?
Is there such a creature?
Sean looked at Frelia and Ash, hoping to find some clues from them, but they both had similar expressions. Their brows were furrowed in thought.
"What do you remember after that?" someone nearby asked again.
The other party just shook their heads, looking at the painful expressions, it seemed that it was difficult for them to recall what happened at that time.
"Horse... yes, yes. Maybe it was my horse that led me out." The soldier finally nodded in affirmation as if he had figured it out.
However, this statement was not confirmed by those present. Prince Philip simply glanced at the guards around him and ordered them to take the soldiers away first and temporarily incorporate them into the team in the Prince's Palace, and make other arrangements after the matter was investigated thoroughly.
Everyone present knew that it was impossible to get any more information out of them. Although some people were still a little "reluctant!", the decision was made by Prince Philip, so they did not dare to say anything to refute it.
"Duke Haruman, what do you think?" After sending the soldiers away, Prince Philip first asked the Grand Duke who was present.
After studying for these days, Sean has also learned about many political relationships of the Basaran Empire. Prince Philip is the brother of the current king and is said to have grown up together. Such an identity is rare even among the royal family.
So Prince Philip will be respected by local nobles wherever he goes!
But respect is one thing, and whether one can fully control the power of a region is another. In comparison, the Grand Duke's family has been operating in the south for hundreds of years, and there are probably many people like himself whose ancestors were vassals of the other side and were sent to various places to govern.
It seems that even the prince in the south needs to rely on the prestige of the Grand Duke, and at least he will not directly confront the other party until the next Duke appears.
After all, the current Duke of Haruman is already so old, and the place he has painstakingly managed for decades will not be so easily taken away by the new prince...
This is probably where the two people approach things differently.
Duke Haruman knew that he was old, so he was eager to defeat the other party while he still had the energy. In his words, he wanted to gather all the retainers to form an alliance against the prince and look for evidence of the other party's treason.
The prince, on the other hand, almost sat still, and looked very calm no matter what moves the opponent used.
Care about the people and enhance your prestige.
He has been doing what a prince should do, but is also the most likely to cause the other party to be disgusted.
It is said that the heir to the Earldom of Koga City is about to be decided these days. If His Royal Highness does not fight for it, perhaps Ryan Hamilton will inherit the title in the end.
This is quite unexpected...
Prince Philip was surprisingly not interested.
But then again, so far Sean has only seen Prince Philip interested in the Eye of Chaos, and he has not reacted too strongly to other things, especially in the fight for the heir to Koga City.
Such a cautious person...
This made Sean believe what Grand Duke Haruman said.
Because they are so cautious, it is hard not to be suspicious.
"What does the Prince mean?" The Grand Duke kept his head held high and his chest puffed out while speaking, not at all like a man in his sixties or seventies.
"The Grand Duke is more familiar with the old nobles in the south. Could such a thing really happen in the southeastern region?" He said it very tactfully, and at this moment he sounded like a junior.
"The Francis family is an old noble family with a history of hundreds of years. They wouldn't make a fool of themselves in a crisis. No news has leaked out this time. I guess something must have happened over there!"
"Then what should we do?"
"Send troops."
The Grand Duke answered very straightforwardly.
This sentence also made everyone present silent. Sending troops was indeed the best and most effective way.
"Then whose troops should we send?" the prince asked again.
"This isn't a matter between you and me, Prince Philip... The southeastern part of the empire borders the Adak region and has no natural barriers. If we can't grasp the news from there, it could lead to unimaginable consequences. This is not something you and I can afford," the Grand Duke said dissatisfiedly.
Sean laughed in his heart. Even at this time, they still had to fight secretly. It turned out that status was the most important thing.
There was always a hint of "being watched..." in his sight. He looked up slightly and noticed that a noble following Ash was always looking at him. It seemed to be the noble who had just spoken.
I was thinking to myself that I had a grudge against him?
Why is he looking at me with such [unhappy eyes!]...
"The Grand Duke is right. We should send our best troops to check it out. After all, the southeastern region is so important. And that goat man, is there any wizard who knows what kind of monster that is?" The prince asked around.
No one answered.
Sean looked at the wizards who were able to stand in the field, most of whom were Orderers above level 10 except himself, and no one could answer.
Finally, Ash [Think!] stepped forward and said:
"I have heard of a legend that is very similar to this, but the stories written by artists at that time just felt very similar to me."
Another legend...
It has been almost half a year since he came to this world, and Sean has never had a good time to learn from some scholars about the strength rankings of countries around the world. Is his country very weak? Isn't it said that it has advanced mechanical equipment?
Why does it feel like the magic aspect is mostly just legends from the start? Last time, Frelia mentioned the story of the 'crazy girl', and now there's even a goatman?!
