Chapter 227: Three Letters from the Baron

Chapter 227 The Baron’s Three Letters
Appiah felt like he had found a big fish.

During these few days, he followed Baron Haffman and found that this nobleman, in addition to indulging in lust and scolding his subordinates during the day, was also very busy at night.

He would write letters every night to His Highness Hernan, who was somewhere far away.

Finally today, Appiah waited for Baron Huffman to send the letter.

It was a golden eagle, extremely handsome. It flew from a distant place to Baron Harver’s castle and took away the letters that Baron Harver had received in the past few days.

The golden eagle was very fast. Apia guessed that even if it was surrounded by griffins, the golden eagle would be able to fly out of the encirclement.

Appia thought Baron Haffman would finally stop, but he didn’t expect that he was still writing letters the next night.

“Your Highness Hernan, today is already the last day of April…”

After a lot of nonsense, Baron Haffman put the letter into the secret compartment, and then… took out a blank piece of letter paper.

The beginning this time is different.

“My friend Ramores, how are you these days? I am still thinking back to the fire I bathed in in the holy church last winter. You are right. It was the gaze of the gods. His eyes were on us humble people, so He gave us fire to dispel our coldness…”

Appiah didn’t know what to say again. Baron Haffman was more sociable than he thought.

But the next words on the letter almost made Apia unable to hide safely in the shadows.

“I think you are right. Light is born from flames. The fire of life dispels the harsh winter in the north and gives humans a warm land of their own.”

“With fire, we are not afraid of the cold in the north. With fire, we can drive away all the beasts. We bathe in the glory of fire, which is the sunset glow. It always exists, but we are only qualified to watch the dusk when day and night change.”

“But I still have some doubts. Is what you said true? Did He really respond to your prayers at sunset one day?”

“If possible, I would also like to pray for His attention this winter.”

Not the Lord of Dawn!

Appiah saw a lot of information in Baron Haffman’s letter. The god that Haffman mentioned was definitely not the Lord of Dawn.

Otherwise, if people say that light is born from fire, they will be treated as heretics and be eliminated.

However, Appiah’s surprise was not over yet.

Baron Haffman placed the letter on the candlelight and watched it turn into ashes. It seemed that in this way, he was able to deliver the letter to a distant place.

Then—he took out the third piece of letter paper.

The quill pen continued to write, and this time the beginning was different, even with an honorific at the very beginning.

“Your Excellency Grand Duke Meyers, please forgive me for only being able to address you in this way, but you know that my father was your useless child. He ran away from home and arrived in another country, but he always told me that he regretted his choice.”

“He told me that I must not forget my name. Even if I carry different honors, the heritage of the nobility will not be cut off.”

“What I want to tell you is that a major event happened in the Andara Kingdom these past few days. Grand Duke McReynolds told us that the Andara royal family stationed a supernatural army of the Holy See on the land of the kingdom.”

“He was very angry. He considered himself an indispensable part of the kingdom. Perhaps, Grand Duke McReynolds was more unwilling to see the kingdom decline than the Andara royal family.” “For the sake of the kingdom’s land, Grand Duke McReynolds has sent troops to the south and started a war there.”

“No one knows. Not even the Andara royal family knows that the war has broken out. Perhaps what Archduke McReynolds said is right. The royal family is corrupt. The old king is incompetent. His Highness Hernan has no opinion of his own. The princes who pursue power and wealth, as well as the Andara royal family, have lost their last legend.”

“They can no longer refuse the arrival of the Holy See…”

“But we all know that the ‘Wind Emperor’ has always had a bad temper, even when he was a noble.”

Huffman wrote a lot, but he had no way to send the letter to where it should appear. So after a long time, Huffman sighed deeply in his study, and finally, he burned the letter.

An ordinary candle flame was used.

Appiah remained silent in the shadows. After a few days of observation, he originally thought that this was just an ordinary baron noble, just like Baron Hatton who appeared in the Frozen Territory every few days, an aristocratic parasite who enjoyed the benefits of his ancestors.

But tonight…all his views changed.

This Baron Huffman is more terrifying than anyone imagined.

He came into contact with an outer god, and was not sure whether it was an evil god or not, but in a world illuminated by the light of the Lord of the Dawn, his courage surpassed countless others.

He was in contact with the royal prince in the camp of Grand Duke McReynolds, writing a letter every day, never a day without writing, even if it was all nonsense.

He also has an inexplicably close relationship with the Grand Duke of the Empire, Grand Duke Meyers, who leads the Nightmare Knights.

Who did he betray? Appiah didn’t know. He felt that Baron Haffman had betrayed everyone, but he was loyal to everyone in the letter.

Baron Haffman loyally told His Highness, who was far away in the palace, everything that had happened on this land. He also expressed his faith to the gods’ followers and was concerned about his powerful neighbors and blood elders.

During the day today, Appiah also saw Baron Huffman firmly transporting supplies, wood and stones to Grand Duke McReynolds’ army. Many of them were transported to the south, and hundreds of slaves and a hundred soldiers were sent there.

Appiah couldn’t understand.

He could only write down what he saw and then send it back to the frozen land.

“The nobles… are really powerful.”

Apia thought so, and suddenly he felt that this task was not easy.

It will take some time for Edward to return to the Frozen Territory. I hope that by then Master Ryan will know how to deal with this matter.

What Appiah didn’t know was that Master Ryan had also been having a bit of a hard time lately.

The aftermath and impact of the war finally began to erupt, and as a result, Ryan suddenly became busier than before.

“I said that the development of that alternate dimension world will begin, but not now. I will take my army there in a month, no, half a month, at most half a month.”

“Go back and tell those nobles that the development of the alternate dimension requires a lot of manpower. They have finished their spring ploughing and have some free time, but I don’t!”
