As a maid, Irene could only stand aside and watch Gudern at the moment. She had long been accustomed to the young master's behavior.

However, Eileen was actually very curious about the young master's changes during this period, and at the same time she also had a little doubt.

Becoming a knight is her dream, but various practical reasons make it difficult for her to take this step, even if she works in the castle with a high salary.

But today, the young master actually found a knight mentor for her, which was something she could never have imagined.

Everything always happens for a reason, and the thought of whether the young master has fallen in love with her has appeared in Irene's mind more than once.

After all, fairy tales all unfold like this, with the lord and noble falling in love with the maid, avoiding the family and wandering around the world together, or the prince falling in love with the daughter of a peasant while traveling, and so on.

But she couldn't ask Master Gooden about this embarrassing thought, so now she could only stare at him blankly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to ask.

After drinking three glasses in a row, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Okay, you don't have to wait here anymore, go back and rest early.

Looking at Eileen who was still waiting on the side, Gudern dismissed her casually.

...Okay. After coming back to her senses, Eileen responded blankly and then exited the study and went back to rest.

Looking at Irene's leaving figure, Gudern was a little confused. Where had the energetic and agile Irene gone? Why are you so cute tonight?

Under the influence of alcohol, Gudern did not notice anything strange about Irene. After sending him away, he arranged some tasks and then went back to the room to rest.

A night of silence.

It was not until noon on the second day that the four people who were drunk last night woke up...

Chapter 82 The truth is announced and the layout begins

The four of them still looked nostalgic for the taste of 'pure water' vodka.

Unfortunately, this kind of wine must be precious and rare among them. In addition, they drank a lot last night, which made them feel that it was inappropriate to speak again, so they all tacitly agreed not to mention it at the luncheon.

But it can be regarded as this lunch, which allowed them to experience the food of 'other world'.

Lingding was so drunk last night that the taste of the dishes in their mouths was vague, which made them feel very sad.

After a cheerful lunch, Gudern approached Renners with an idea that needed to be discussed.

Lord Renas, before I leave, I have something I want to talk to you about.

It was unclear what Gudern wanted to talk about, but Renas agreed without hesitation.

no problem.

Lord Kroger, please come to my study too. You can be considered a half-witness to this matter.

Seeing that Gooden and Kroger were called together, Renas subconsciously thought that Gooden wanted to talk to him about taxes.

After all, he also learned about this matter from his old classmate Kroger, so he began to think about the ins and outs and solutions to this matter.

After all, he drank a lot of precious 'pure water', so it was normal to do a favor.

Castle, in the study.

Eileen skillfully served tea and some desserts to everyone and left.

As the wooden door closed, Gudern directly moved on to the topic without making any detours.

Lord Renas, before we discuss the matter, I would like to ask three questions. First, do you know about the tax issues in my town, Qingyuan?

Glancing at Kroger, Renas nodded slightly.

Well, I heard Kroger say that.

In this case, I won't explain too much... Do you know how to obtain my title of baron?

Hearing Gudern suddenly jump the topic to the position of baron, Renas, who had been thinking about it for a long time, was stunned.

Not understanding what Gudern wanted to say, Renas held back what he wanted to say, recalled Gudern's title file, and responded according to the above.

Individually, you kill a large number of orc scout troops and help the troops complete important tasks. If the cumulative military merit reaches the standard, you will be awarded a title.

Seeing that the other party was very clear about these issues, Gudern stopped asking and pointed them out directly.

That's right. If you look at it this way, you should also know the last question, which is where the orcs were killed.

A hundred-man-level orc scouts appeared in Qingyuan Snow Ridge, and I happened to encounter Captain Dedalo who was ambushed and helped rescue them.

But just seven or eight days before this long battle, I had already encountered an attack by orc scouts, numbering about forty to sixty people.

Upon hearing the news, Renus and Kroger looked at each other in surprise, and then Renus spoke in a slightly calm tone.

Master Gooden, do you want to add another military merit to the file?

Not really, Gudern shook his head slightly and continued.

When I rescued Captain Dedalo before, he said something that made me suspicious. Such a large orc army eats and drinks within the empire. How did they avoid being noticed by the residents living around them?

You must know that the location of the battle at that time was only thirty kilometers away from Qingyuan Town in a straight line. This was considered to have entered the core hinterland.

If the orc troops attacked Qingyuan Town at that time, the consequences would be...

As he continued speaking, Gudern's tone became lower and more serious.

The two people, who had no specific experience, felt chills running down their spines at Gudern's words.

If you think about it carefully, if the orcs had not besieged Dedaluo at that time, but attacked Qingyuan Town, I am afraid that Qingyuan Town would be a dead town now...

But fortunately, this situation did not happen. In addition, the Lord Bernard organized troops to patrol the border, which gave a temporarily stable environment.

But until I accidentally discovered this letter some time ago, the danger that originally only existed in Qingyuan Town has expanded to the entire empire's borders.

With that said, Gudern took out Lord Sehit's legacy letter and gave it to Renas for review.

Renus, who frowned slightly, still didn't know what Gudern was going to say, so he took the letter and glanced at it hastily.

The content above made his forehead wrinkle again, and he read over it word by word again, for fear of missing any information.

After checking three or five times in a row, Renas suddenly raised his head and asked Gudern in a deep voice.

Where is the evidence left by Lord Sehit?

Here. Gudern's expression remained unchanged as he took out the copied copy from the drawer under the desk and handed it to the other party.

After taking the copy, Renas quickly flipped through it, looking at the chapter-by-chapter bills, the look on his face became a little gloomy.

After a while, Renas handed the account book in his hand to Kroger.

You have been in charge of military investigation work, come and take a look.

It was unclear how the old classmate's expression would become so bad after reading the note, but from this account book, Kroger also keenly discovered a clue.

If the materials in this account are converted into military supplies, except for the horse equipment, which may only be enough for half a cavalry regiment, the remaining materials are enough to arm three regiments.

And based on the amount of food stored, it is enough to supply these people for about half a year.

However... there is something wrong with the price accounts here. They are all prices from five or six years ago.

As a prosecutor of the army, Kroger is still very good at counting prices and inventory of various warehouses in order to prevent officers from reselling supplies.

Regarding the price fluctuations of various items, Kroger's memory is no worse than that of some reselling merchants.

After hearing Kroger's analysis, Renas's face became even more embarrassed.

After a long moment of silence, he breathed out and said to Gudern.

Master Gooden, your news is very important. I will personally relay this matter to the Governor-General. I have to take this letter and the account book with me. Is that okay?

No problem. I'm a little worried about putting these things here.

Well, once the governor's office verifies that the behavior is true, the actions of the Charleson family will definitely be punished by the empire, and you will receive a large reward. Maybe it won't be a problem to be promoted to viscount.

Listening to Renas's promise, Gudern didn't particularly care about it.

At this moment, he was paying attention to Renas' favorability on the panel.

It has risen from 68 before the news was announced to 79 now. This alone shows that what Renas said is credible.

At least he is very angry about the actions of the Charleson family, and the possibility of hiding evidence is very low.

After pondering for a moment, Gudern decided to add another fire.

Then he told Reg's betrayal, his assassination, and Charleson's various actions against him.

Damn Charlieson...

After hearing what happened to Gudern, Kroger couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

Being impartial by nature, he hated Charlieson's behavior to the extreme.

Master Gudern, if you allow me, please let me take away the guard who betrayed you. A witness will be more useful than a suicide note and a certified ledger.

No problem. This guy has been imprisoned in the dungeon. I have been thinking about how to deal with him. It seems that the empire will give him a just release now.

Now Gudern is responding to Renas' request.

I continued to pay attention to the fixation of the Renus panel, and saw it jump from 79 to 80, so I thought about whether to add more oil?

Once the recording is released, his identity as a mage will inevitably be exposed. Is it worth placing all the bets on Feroze?

But the meaning of the words just reflected from Renus's mouth shows that only relying on these indirect evidences may not necessarily allow Charlieson to be punished directly.

Thinking of this, Gooden no longer hesitated and decided to stamp out all the evidence.

Lord Renas, I will present a more important piece of evidence next. I will not give this evidence to you. If the empire's senior officials want to verify it, they must send someone or come to Qingyuan Town to verify it in person.

Hearing Gudern say so seriously, the eyes of the two also revealed a hint of solemnity.

The previous evidence could easily put the Charleson family into trouble or even be in danger of being destroyed. Gudern casually handed over these pieces of evidence to Renas.

But now Gudern actually chose to keep this copy, and also proposed that the senior management should send someone or come in person to verify it again.

Without waiting for Renus to speak, Gudern directly activated the bookcase mechanism with a magic hand, opened the secret compartment, and at the same time gave a simple explanation to the two of them.

Since I was attacked last time, I accidentally broke through and awakened to become a mage. At yesterday's dinner, I also purposely asked Lord Renas about your use of the voice recorder.

I also have a voice recorder in my hand, which is also an item left by the previous lord. As for the content... you can listen to it for yourselves.

As he spoke, Gudern also took out the tape recorder and charged it for playback.

In just four sentences, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, Renas suddenly stood up.
