Gladwell handed Renault the letter from Renault''s father and looked at him with bright eyes. "Read it and tell me what you think."


    Renault frowned: what''s readable? The letter is very short. It is full of etiquette and formulaic statements, which is more polite than formal documents.


    The count''s father introduced himself at the beginning of the letter in vigorous and powerful font, and then expressed his "respect and admiration" for the iceberg fortress managed by the goddess church. The next step was to give money and interest to support the work of the fortress, and then euphemistically expressed the hope that everyone would take care of their son.


    "I''m sorry, I don''t see anything special." Renault shook his head and added: "except that I think I should reply to a letter to express my gratitude and correction."


    "It''s right to reply." the old man nodded, but did not show his usual kind smile. He stretched out his dry and trembling fingers and nodded on the letter paper, "read this sentence."


    "Oh... Please train your dog Renault hall carefully and make him a qualified soldier under the glory of the goddess. He will have 500 gold coins in taodeqi manor as an annuity for installation and maintenance..." Renault looked up and stared at the old man: "is there a problem with this sentence?"


    "This is a place of exile, a place to say goodbye to the past, but your father hopes you will still be Renault hall." Gladwell took the letter and put it a foot away from the candlestick. "Every qualified soldier here will get the word ice as his surname, which means a clean break from his past. Therefore, you will become Renault ice, not hall."


    Renault scratched his head. He didn''t care whether his body''s surname was hall or frozen. Anyway, it was not the original "Yan". "Maybe... Maybe my father doesn''t know much about the rules here in Bingfeng fortress?"


    The old man shook his head and patted Renault on the shoulder: "The hall family has two titles, Royal Earl and Templar. Your family has become a hereditary Earl because of the military achievements of your predecessors, but the word Royal comes from your grandmother, who is the princess of the Levi central Empire, which makes your family''s blood related to the imperial royal family. She is the only daughter of the three children of the later emperor Butch Leighton III. she has a noble status, so she is brought Here comes the word Royal. "


    Renault couldn''t answer, so he had to nod and answer with "um".


    "Count is very common, and the word Royal is not uncommon, but the title of Templar rarely appears among secular nobles? The emperor managed the secular world through feudalism, and the Church took care of the spiritual world. The Knights of the church, that is, paladins, their weapons and armor, life and training must be managed by the church. Therefore, they can no longer obtain land in the kingdom. Let alone Hereditary earls, even barons or semi joking barons can''t have both. "


    "Paladins, including the title of Templar, are not hereditary. But there are three special cases in the whole empire. The hall family is one of them. Your family has a very close relationship with the church. He won''t be unaware of the rules of these fortresses in the sunset mountains. In fact, some of our daily maintenance expenses come from the support of the Templar family."


    Renault opened his mouth in surprise: he knew these things for the first time. In the past, Renault only knew alchemy, dealing with demons, self destruction, rebellion and dandies, and did not care about them at all, let alone learn these political things. If Renault could learn a little in the past, he would not have done the thing of giving medicine to the Duke''s son and chemically castrating him.


    "Your father deliberately mistakenly linked the name Renault hall with the annuity, which is actually a hint that he wants to keep your surname so that you can return to the family one day. I remember you are the count''s second son, and you have a brother, a brother and two sisters, right?"


    Renault nodded. No matter how dandy and rebellious he was, he still knew what members of his family were.


    "To tell you the truth, your family''s lack of you does not affect inheritance and continuity." the old man did not take his hand off Renault''s shoulder, but squeezed it tightly: "I think about it. The only reason your father asked you to keep your surname should be that he knew you didn''t make a mistake and shouldn''t have been exiled. But he can''t prove it. He can''t give you innocence for the time being. He can only let you save your life through exile."


    Is there such a thing?


    Taking over this body means taking over the past it represents, but in Renault''s memory, there is no connection with "chemical castration" There is something directly related to it. He did have close contacts with Dagong''s son and shared the alchemy potion, but he did not have the memory of configuring castration potion. From simple to difficult, he can make 55 formulas, and none of them has the effect or side effect of cutting off children and grandchildren.


    Renault tried to recall things about the hall family, hoping to find evidence to support grawell''s view. Emotionally, Yan Rui has his own sustenance and doesn''t want to have a deep connection with Renault''s family. The hall family is like a foster family suddenly entered for him, and the sense of rejection is the instinctive reaction. He even likes to be exiled after crossing Head, like a certain degree of "freedom". This emotion, coupled with the lost memory due to the merger of medicine and soul, makes Renault unable to think of anything useful


    "I... I don''t understand. Is there anyone threatening the count?"


    "Coercion... Child, I''m not a God. I can''t see things so far, let alone time. All I can do is analyze." Gladwell said he couldn''t give an answer, but some ideas: "When I read this letter, I was very surprised. Bingfeng fortress is the most dangerous place in the whole sunset mountains, especially in the coming winter. If you want to exile, jiechuan fortress is actually more comfortable. So the key point is: who proposed to let you come here?"


    "It''s the count." Renault still remembers it. "That night, he came back from the outside, pointed to me at the table and said, ''pack up your things and go to the iceberg fortress in the sunset mountains. You can''t stay at home anymore.'' it seems that he never mentioned the word exile. By the way, I could have been here two months ago. It was... Someone invited me to visit all the way and separated not long ago."


    "It seems that you have figured out some things, but you must remember not to be confused by appearances."
