Just when Augusta finished speaking, the elf girl who was as unresponsive as a delicate doll suddenly raised her hand and used the shackles on her wrists to hit Augusta's forehead hard. There was a cry of exclamation.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
For the elf girl who is originally relatively slender and frail, the shackles on her hands are usually a heavy burden. Even if she raises her hands, she is not as fast as before, and Prince Augusta of the Kalsemmen Empire She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has considerable strength. In her eyes, the elf girl's behavior is as childish and ridiculous as an angry kitten.
"Hmm~" The elf girl let out a painful groan, and her wrist raised in the air was grabbed by Augusta.
The guards in the mission quickly grabbed the chain around the girl's neck and pulled her to the ground: "This daring little guy actually dares to attack His Highness the Prince."
After subduing the elf girl, the guards did not dare to make any other moves. Even if they tried to attack His Highness, the prince bought the elf girl for 10 million Lien anyway. If he accidentally did something to her, The damage was so serious that I couldn't even afford to pay for it even if my whole family was sold.
"Not bad! It seems that after you go back, you need to find an etiquette teacher to teach you basic etiquette." Augusta gestured to the guard behind him to pour himself a glass of red wine and said.
The elf girl, who was re-erected by the guards, faced Augusta without fear and said coldly: "I will let you down."
"Oh~~ Then this is really interesting." Augusta took a sip of red wine and moved his face closer to the girl. After looking at the beautiful face with tears, he said softly: "If you want me to be disappointed, I I hope you can do it.”
After speaking, Augusta made a gesture: "Take her down, don't hurt her, understand?"
"It's Your Highness."
The guards pulled the elf girl and slowly retreated. The mercenaries with Tooth Hunter also carried the box and put it in the inner room. The transaction was completed, but Augusta and others had no intention of leaving immediately. This made Ma Ji, Coleman and others are a little worried.
Gerkat magically took out a crystal wine glass and said, "Do you mind letting me have a drink too?"
"Of course." Augusta gestured gently, and the missionary guard behind him poured a glass of red wine for Gerkat.
Unlike Augusta who drank lightly, Gerkat drank the red wine in one gulp. The guard who poured the wine could not help but secretly sigh that he was wasting his wealth. Augusta looked indifferent. , Augusta is already very used to this kind of behavior of Gerkat, a legendary mercenary with a bold nature.
Don't care about anyone's eyes, don't care about anyone's identity, just live in your own world, just like a lonely wolf!
"Sandenbel wine is produced in the city of Tuskara in the western region of the mainland. This bottle is estimated to cost 40,000 Lien. You really know how to enjoy it." Gelkate pursed her lips and said with a smile.
Augusta smiled, shook his glass, looked at the deep red wine inside and said, "Forty thousand lien is the worst one, but this bottle is the best and costs at least 200,000 lien."
Gerkat also tilted his head and looked at the red wine remaining in the glass and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems I have to drink a few more glasses."
After the guard poured Gerkat a glass, Augusta took another sip and sighed: "Tuscala has always been the most famous wine producing area in the mainland. The Sandenberg wine produced here two thousand years ago Even the ‘Overlord’ was amazed.”
You are really a fanatical admirer of Overlord Garserik!
On the surface, Augusta built a large number of churches for the Holy See to spread the teachings of the Holy See. Every year, he would personally go to the Papal Hall to pray and donate a large amount of money. There were even rumors that Augusta was willing to be baptized by the Holy See and become the Pope. The adopted son has always been a person who is highly valued by the Holy See. But in private, Gerkat had already guessed something. As the prince of the Kalsemmen Empire who inherited the direct bloodline of Overlord Garserik, Augusta was a fanatical follower of Overlord Garserik, and this man was ambitious. It is very large and deeply hidden. I am afraid that it will become a character that shocks the entire continent in the future.
A madman who disrupts the entire continent, but this is also fun! Gerkat laughed as she thought about it. This time she did not drink the red wine in one gulp but drank it slowly.
"Would you be interested in becoming my sibling?" Augusta suddenly asked.
Gelkate drank the wine without looking back and said: "You should know my answer. I am just a mercenary who is used to freedom. As long as you pay enough money, I will fight for you."
Augusta said regretfully: "It is precisely because you are a mercenary that I am even more worried. This time I am paying you to deal with 'White Wing Princess' Lindis. Maybe next time it will be paid by someone else." I asked you to deal with me because your bravery is enough to make any king sit on pins and needles."
"You think too highly of me. I am just a mercenary. I will work for anyone who pays me more. This is my principle."
"But I want to ask you something, Gerkat."
"About the 'White Wing Princess' thing?"
Before Augusta could speak, Gerkat had already spoken in advance: "Princess Lindis of the Kingdom of Creses did fight me, but her guards broke out under protection. In that case, you Karl I haven’t seen her since the victory of the Semen Empire. I don’t know about her disappearance. She probably died in the battle or was captured by other mercenary groups. You must know that we were not the only ones with crack teeth at that time. A mercenary group of Tomahawks is present.”
"Really?"
"What good will it do me to lie to you?" Gelkate said lightly, meeting Augusta's eyes.
Augusta stopped asking questions, just smiled lightly and drank the red wine in his hand. After a few minutes of silence, he changed the subject and said leisurely: "There are recent rumors in Gelkate that you were beaten in the Forest of Mist. Half dead, is this true?”
Gelkate curled his lips and said disdainfully: "If you let me know who spread this rumor, I will definitely beat him to death."
"But the mercenary group you led did sacrifice some people in the forest, right?"
"You are really well informed."
"The recent news that the heavy snow in the Mist Forest has not stopped has reached my ears. I think the Kingdom of Saxony must be ecstatic. Last year and this year, it was spared two wars between the Og barbarians." Augusta's Weiwei said here He pursed his lips and smiled: "Can you tell me what happened in the forest? Gelkate."
Gelkat glanced at Augusta and drank the rest of the red wine in one gulp and said: "I'm sorry, I promised others not to tell others about the Forest of Mist, and besides, I don't know very well what happened in the Forest of Mist. thing."
"Who is so busy and makes you so tight-lipped?"
Regarding the person Gerkate agreed to, the first thing Maggie thought of was Relis. When she was about to leave Belika Fortress, in order to take away Relis’s severed arm, the leader also promised Relis not to It has always made Maggie feel strange to tell about the encounter with the Elemental Lord in the Mist Forest, and also issued an order not to allow anyone present at the time to tell about it.
"Although I promised not to tell you anything about the Mistful Forest, I can tell you a little about other things┉┉"
When Gelkate said this, his eyes glanced at the bottle of red wine that had not been finished. After being noticed by Augusta, the latter gave his attendant a look, and the red wine was quickly placed on Geer's side. In front of Kate.
After giving Maggie a wink, Gerkat said: "Go and get that thing."
She was slightly startled but Maggie nodded and left. Gerkat took the bottle and drank directly without pouring it into a glass. Augusta also waited without any care until Maggie held a piece of wine in her hand. He walked back without the wrapped things and took them in front of Augusta at Gerkat's signal.
The moment he slowly untied the rope and took off the fabric, a young man wearing glasses behind Augusta frowned fiercely. This was a crystal-clear arm that seemed to be carved with crystal. He touched it. The entire arm radiated a stinging coldness.
"A special product brought back from the Forest of Mist!" Gelkate took off the bottle and added.
Augusta looked at his arm and nodded, but said with some confusion: "It's a very good work of art┉┉"
"Hahaha." Gerkat laughed and looked at Augusta and said: "This is not a work of art. If I told you that this was an ordinary person's arm more than ten days ago, would you believe it? "
He held his arm and observed Augusta carefully and said: "Everything is possible, but can you explain it?"
"This should be similar to the consequences of excessive erosion of water elements┉┉"
Before Gerkat finished speaking about his views on this phenomenon, the young man with glasses behind Augusta had already shouted excitedly: "This is impossible, the water element will corrode flesh and blood and cause the body to rot." , but it is impossible to change flesh and blood into this."
Gelkate glanced at the young man contemptuously and asked, "As a mage, can't you feel the breath of water element above?"
For a moment, the young man looked at Gelkate in surprise. He didn't know how the legendary mercenary in front of him saw his identity as a mage.
"Quiet Leonas, I didn't let you speak." Augusta glanced behind him. The young man named Leonas noticed his gaffe and quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
He retracted his arm and rewrapped it, and Gelkate said, "Can we talk alone?"
Maggie and Augusta's envoys all left the lounge, leaving only Gerkat and Augusta in the entire vast hall.
"Faroun, do you know?"
"Of course┉┉" Augusta naturally knew about this name. He was the only great mage on the continent who could use level 20 magic.
"He is now in Belika Fortress and seems to be preparing to enter the Mist Forest."
Augusta's expression became more subtle. The strongest mage in the Tower of Sage actually left at the most intense moment of the faction struggle. Does this mean that what happened in the Mist Forest was actually more complicated than the factions in the Tower of Sage? Is the struggle still important? However, this did give the reformists of the Tower of Sage an opportunity. If Faron did not return for a long time, the reformists would surely gain the upper hand.
"His Royal Highness Prince Augusta." Gerkat interrupted the other party's contemplation and said: "When Archmage Faron went to the Forest of Mist, he seemed to be carrying something interesting with him, which seemed to be reserved for the Kalsemmen Empire. The Overlord’s relics are somewhat similar┉┉”
For a moment, Augusta stared at Gerkat fiercely, with an expression that seemed to say that if you don't make it clear, you won't be able to leave.
Gerkate smiled like a mischievous smile and said softly in a seductive tone: "The sudden heavy snowfall, the mysterious changes in the elements, the most powerful Great Mage went to the Forest of Mist, bringing with him the relics of the Overlord of the Sun, the Mist. Deep in the forest is the Yanold Mountains, what do you think it will be like?"
"The legend of the Overlord┉┉" After a long time, the prince of the Kalsemmen Empire finally said something. Although his tone was low, something seemed to be burning in it.
========================
The number of farms continued to increase and the cultivated land gradually expanded. In addition to food, some common medicinal and alchemical plants began to be planted. Two pastures were built. The frost elves began to raise some frost wargs and ice crystals. Unicorn, in order to facilitate transportation and storage, is located around the farm area opened up in the forest, and houses for the frost goblins and elves have begun to be built.
The population of the territory plus the recently joined fugitive elves has exceeded 4,000. The entire city of Ulduar has become quite lively. Although it is not a huge crowd, at least it is not like before. You can walk in the entire city for a long time without seeing anyone. Of course It is worth mentioning that a quarter of these more than 4,000 people are frost goblins.
"The warehouse construction in the farm area has been completed. The housing and infrastructure construction will be completed in a few days. The secret sentry in the forest has also been built. Now we only need to arrange the magic communication device for contact with His Majesty Yalin." Schneizel Taking the report, he reported to Yalin the situation in Ulduar City and nearby territories.
"Where is the forging hall?" Yalin nodded with satisfaction and asked.
"Due to manpower problems, we can only cast some light weapons and arrows at this stage." Schneizel also seemed helpless when he said this.
Yalin sighed and tapped the table with his fingers and said: "Manpower! Manpower! The most lacking thing now is manpower┉┉"
Schneizel suddenly stopped in the middle of Yalin's words. Looking at Yalin, he asked uneasily: "What happened? Your Majesty."
"That's right, a new guest has arrived." Yalin nodded.
"How many people are there this time, Your Majesty?" Schneizel asked.
Now that the news about the territory has been exposed, it is only a matter of time before the other party invades. Now Schneizel only hopes to get the number of the opponent from Yalin. Schneizel can confidently judge the opponent's intention based on the number of visitors alone. If there are more people coming, it means that the opponent is here to start a war. If there are fewer people, it means that the opponent is here to start a war. It means that the other party is here for negotiation.
"A person┉┉" Yalin said with a sneer.
one person
Schneizel was also stunned. What does it mean to come here alone
