I Eat the Magic Scroll and Learnt Everything! - Chapter 38

After receiving the secret letter, North directly opened the envelope in his hand.

First, he took out the two Earl’s Medals of Honor, and then carefully read through the letter inside.

Looking at the map, it was understandable to build an Eight Star and Nine Star City. This was to facilitate defense during the war with Castletown in the future.

But building a town on the border of the Empire was for that!

Macmillan did not even dare to think about it. ‘For the sake of going to war with the Empire in the future?’

So he took out a letter and prepared to write a letter and send it to the castle now.

But after writing a few words, he stopped what he was doing and directly tore the letter in his hand into pieces.

“Butler Byron, come here for a moment!”

A middle-aged man dressed in a black butler uniform walked over.

“Master, do you have any orders?”

“Help me prepare the carriage!”

“Where are you going?”

“To Duke Clemente’s Castle!”

In the past, no matter what happened, North would never bother with Rollin’s matters in the middle of the night.

However, today was out of the ordinary. He actually had to go to that place in the middle of the night!

After receiving the order, Byron Lawson immediately went to the carriage shed and woke up the horse that had fallen asleep. Then, he personally put on the rope.

Just as he prepared everything, the groom woke up because of the noise.

“Butler Byron! It’s so late to use the carriage. Just call me. I’ll come and help you!”

Butler Byron immediately waved his hand at the groom and said, “You can continue to sleep. Leave the rest to me!”

After hearing this, the coachman immediately turned around and went back to his room. After all, there were some things that he could not participate in.

In the middle of the night, the old butler drove the carriage toward the main city of Avilis.

Because it was only dawn, there was no one else in the castle except for the guards.

The soldiers at the top of the castle soon saw the lights of the carriage, and they passed down the information layer by layer.

The news reached Gavin’s ears in less than a few minutes. At this time, he had already woken up to wash up.

As the butler of Duke Clemente’s family, he had to wake up before the sun rose. Everything in the castle had to be handled by him.

Rollin did not like to manage the affairs of the castle to begin with. If he were to slack off, the operation of the entire castle would soon be paralyzed.

After receiving the news, Gavin did not even have time to drink the tea that he had just brewed. He had already arrived at the city gate and waited for Lord North’s carriage to arrive.

After the carriage stopped, Gavin immediately greeted Byron. “Why did you rush here overnight? Did something happen?”

Byron only greeted him and then said, “Lord North has some urgent matters to look for Duke Rollin. Please make the arrangements!”

“Why are you here so late to look for Young Master?” Hearing this, Gavin immediately went into the city.

After arranging them in the office, he returned to the door of Rollin’s room in the castle.

After making sure that Rollin was not doing anything and was only sleeping, he knocked on his door.

“Young Master! Lord North is here. Is now a good time?”

Rollin, who was still sleeping in wonderland, was suddenly woken up by the knock on the door and immediately sat up.

“Uncle?” Looking at the magic clock on the table, he found that it was only three in the morning.

“Why is Uncle here so late? Did something happen?” After saying that, he jumped up and quickly put on his clothes.

Opening the door, Gavin waited at the door for a long time.

“Lord North is waiting for you in your office!”

Rollin scratched his head. Recalling what he had done, he only asked him to build a few cities. There was no need to be so serious!

With that thought in mind, he followed Gavin to the door of the office.

Butler Byron, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately bowed to Rollin and made an inviting gesture.

Entering the room, North was standing in front of the bed, staring blankly at the silent forest outside.

“Uncle, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. Or you can write a letter. There’s no need to rush here at such a late hour!”

North turned around and took out the map on his chest, placing it on the table.

“Is the construction of the town above serious?”

“If Ten Star City is really built according to your blueprint, the Empire will be very dissatisfied.”

“Even if the current Emperor is your brother-in-law, he will still be very hostile towards you!”

“The Clemente family has been loyal to the Empire for generations, so please consider this matter carefully.”

Originally, Rollin was going to talk to his uncle during this period of time, but he had been busy with some women’s matters.

Hence, Rollin told North everything that happened in Imperial City.

“There’s actually such a huge change! There might even be a taboo!?”

“Is all of this true?”

Rollin immediately explained, “Although I didn’t see it, the previous Emperor now has a head full of white hair!”

“Is that so! I know, I understand the general situation.”

“It seems that the Empire is facing too many problems. I’ll accept the Earl’s Medal!” After saying that, North took it out and held it in his chest.

“No matter what happens in the future, I’ll support you as usual!”

“There are only three positions for the Earl. Do you really plan to give the second position to Jeff Brooke?”

Because North did not have much contact with Jeff Brooke, he did not know him very well.

Rollin then told him his full identity, all the positions he had held, as well as the names of his disciples who went out.

After listening to it, North suddenly came to a realization. “So that’s how it is!”

“I’ve heard of him a long time ago. I didn’t expect your brother-in-law to be so thoughtful to actually assign such a talent to you!”

Because North didn’t know that the Empire was going to invade the east, he thought that the new Emperor, Jason, was very friendly to his brother-in-law because he was one of his few relatives here.

Therefore, Rollin told him everything. “Actually, there’s a very deep reason behind this!”

“The Empire not only wants to take back Ipswich this time, but they also want to continue to invade the east and attack the various countries!”

“That’s why my current position is very difficult!”

After hearing Rollin’s words, North’s mind was already thinking about the future battle formation.

“Rollin, I’ll leave these matters to you. No matter if you win or lose the war, you must survive.”

“You’re the only one left in Clemente!”

“If anything happens to your life, I won’t be able to explain it to my Elizabeth or Devon after I die!”

At this moment, North walked behind Rollin and patted him on the shoulder as he spoke as his uncle.

“Of course! Uncle, I will live on well. I still have such wives at home. I can’t die in battle!”

Seeing that Rollin was still in a good mood, North left the castle in peace and returned to Five Star City..
