One Piece: I Am Really Not Crocodile

"It's ironic that the Kingdom of Andia is a safe country with a constant reputation." Rosen walked through the outer city and said indifferently. The outer city is purgatory, but it's only half an hour away.

Although there were means of transportation such as carriages and rental places, Rosen chose to walk.

Rosen would not have said such a thing if it was just dirty and messy, but the key point is that the death rate of people outside the city is very frequent, and the struggle of the people from the bottom is very conspicuous.

There are also those who hate the guards and nobles, but they are subdued after a little resistance. According to Shia, they will be forced to send themselves under the barrier to build a city wall until they die of exhaustion.

In the inner city, there is a second city wall. It is not as tall as the outermost wall, but it is more than 20 meters high. It is poured with molten iron. It looks shining in the sun, and there are many workers here.

Because it is the inner city wall, it is not as long as the outermost city wall, but it is also circular to completely isolate the people in the inner city from the people in the outer city, and the defense is stronger.

As for Gaocheng, there are only dukes and a few noble manors, and a high wall still stands here, which is taller and more magnificent than the outer city wall.

The defense is stronger, because the circular city wall is not big, and this is an aristocratic land, and the materials used are all top-notch.

In the inner city, Luo Sen and others can still enter unimpeded. The inner city looks much cleaner, with people coming and going, and trade constantly. It looks like a normal city. It is almost two different worlds from the outer city. .

As soon as he entered the inner city, Rosen heard a lot of voices talking about it.

"Hey, have you heard that the Duke's granddaughter, the daughter of our king, killed another group of runaway residents in the inner city?"

"What are you? Last time I went out to pick in the city, I heard people say that she killed the Lord of the forest with one sword. She is really too strong. She is worthy of the blood of the king."

"Speaking of which, has any of you seen Her Royal Highness in person? It seems that no one knows her name yet."

"I haven't seen it, but I heard that she is a big beauty."

"That must be true. To be a princess is to be a beauty."

"No way, how did I hear that she is a five-meter-tall female man?"...

Regardless of whether it is true or not, mysterious or not, at least everyone has begun to discuss this person who was originally a non-existent person.

That's exactly what Rosen wants to see.

"Should we go directly to Gaocheng?" Shia looked at Rosen.

"Go straight in. In the form of a visit, the Duke of Valos should be curious about your arrival. After all, you are the new president." Rosen actually didn't have much hope for this trip.

As the saying goes, the attitude of the guards and the system here make Rosen not very optimistic about reaching a certain level of cooperation with the Duke of Valos.

"good."

"According to what I said before, the Duke of Valos has about 30,000 troops, and he recruits a large number of refugees with good strength every year. From this point of view, the Duke of Valos must have a plan." Robin mused.

"It may also be because of fear of death, but we will know when we meet later." If Duke Valos is willing to cooperate with his plan, then the next step will be easy. If not, it will be more troublesome.

As for a duke and nobleman, with the help of Xi Ya's name, he can directly contact the Duke of Valos. Rosen has a strong personal force. Of course, he hopes to use the simplest method to achieve his goal.

Iron Group Castle, this is a heavily guarded castle. It is said that in the era of war-torn wars in the Kingdom of Andia, only a team of 500 people successfully defended against the onslaught of 8,000 people.

It is rumored that at the end of the battle, hundreds of land artillery shelled continuously for a day and a night, but failed to break through this legendary fortress, and the Duke of Valos lived in it for generations.

At this moment, in the spacious, bright and resplendent hall, the high-level officials of the Duke of Valos gathered, three guard generals, two chief stewards, and representatives of various noble forces under his command.

The Duke of Valos is not young, he looks very old, but the sharpness and fierceness revealed in his eyes make people dare not ignore that this was once a lion galloping on the battlefield. He was holding a goblet and shaking it gently The wine in the cup was drank down: "Have you found the source of the news, who is spreading rumors that I, Valos, have a granddaughter?"

"It hasn't been found yet. The few people caught don't know who is behind the scenes. They just use money to do things." A big butler said in a cold sweat.

"Trash." Duke Valos heard the words, and the goblet smashed directly on the head of the big housekeeper with great force, spattering a bloodstain.

"How is the rumor dispelling work going?" Duke Valos looked at another big butler.

"It has already unfolded, but it is difficult to contain, and I heard that not only the Wallos Fortress, but also other fortress cities have the same rumors." Another big butler is also walking on thin ice, after all, the Duke of Valos is notoriously moody .

"What do you think, will it be spread by His Majesty the King?" Valos looked at everyone present.

"This is possible. After all, the prince has already been killed, and His Majesty the King has no successors. Perhaps the campaign is to allow the latecomers to inherit the throne in a legitimate way. But since there is no blood relationship, how can His Majesty let him sit on the throne? This point says No way." A nobleman said after a moment of thought.

"It should not be His Majesty the King. Hearing that Earl Master Master has arrived in Gaocheng, the King must have been suspicious and sent him here deliberately to inquire about the veracity of the rumor."

"Does His Majesty the King have illegitimate children?"

"Stupid, if you all think this way, those who spread rumors have achieved their purpose. Since they dare to make a fuss about the Duke's Mansion of Valos, I am afraid that someone will come to contact them sooner or later, otherwise the rumors will not hurt at all. Itching, it won't hurt the interests of the king and everyone..." As soon as Valos finished speaking, someone came in to report.

"My lord, the new president of the AKS Chamber of Commerce asks to see you." A soldier knelt on one knee.

"It seems that it is here. Let everyone do a good job of guarding and let her stand by outside the castle in case the visitor is not good." Valos ordered after pondering.

"yes."

Iron Group Castle, under the gate, Rosen Robin stood slightly behind Shea, marginalized, acting as a bodyguard, after all, he hadn't met the Lord, so as not to be rejected.

At this time, a guard trotted over and said, "The Duke will come out to see you soon, please wait a moment."

"It seems that I noticed something, and it didn't go as smoothly as expected." Rosen reacted after being stunned for a moment.

"Then shall we still meet with him?" Shea frowned. Normally, she, the president of the AKS Chamber of Commerce, would not be rejected if she asked for a meeting. After all, there is a cooperative relationship between the two.

Not letting them enter the castle now is obviously suspicious. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is not difficult to understand. After all, this timing is too coincidental.

"See, since you're here, don't make this trip in vain. If it doesn't work, then kill it." Rosen said lightly. Even if the first nobleman fails, there are other people who can choose, and they are not the only nobleman. .
