Damn it, damn it! What a fucking prince, isn't he just a poor bastard thrown into the barren mountains! Corris thought fiercely, but for the sake of two personal guards following behind with the hilt of the sword, he had to temporarily swallow the bad breath in his stomach.
After walking out of the castle gate, the baron was relieved to see the guards turn around and leave.
He took out a wet handkerchief and wiped his forehead, spit out a mouthful of spit, while imagining the scene of the spit hitting the prince's face. This alone was not enough to relieve his anger, and he stomped his feet on the spittle again, and his heart felt a little more comfortable.
So what if you block the evil beast, do you think you can gain a firm foothold in the Western Region? Continue to be complacent and see how long you can be complacent! Coris thought to himself that if he hadn't received reliable information, he wouldn't have come to Border Town early. Generally speaking, the nobles will return to the town later than the commoners. After all, it is not their turn to do the hard work of mining and hunting. They only need to go to the mines every once in a while to supervise the production and wait for the delivery of the ore. . In your spare time, you can also go to the Orion's house to see if there is any suitable high-quality fur to buy.
But this year, the situation has changed. Corris heard from the treasurer, Lord Ferno, that Duke Ryan is going to drive the fourth prince out of the west. This is not a betrayal of the Kingdom of Greycastle, but a legacy of the new king, Timothy Wimbledon. Will: "Roland Wimbledon is no longer the lord of Border Town. The new territory needs him to be re-canonized after returning to the capital to debrief."
Who is Lord Ferno, who is the red man in front of the Duke, who has climbed from the mayor to the treasurer in just five years. If it wasn't for his distant relatives, who gave him two fine furs every year, how could he know the thoughts of the ruler of the Western Region.
"Re-canonize the territory after returning to the capital to debrief" is just a nice saying, even Koris knew that the eldest prince was sent to the guillotine without a word. When the fourth prince returns, he is still not at the mercy of the new king
There is no doubt that the West Territory is the West Territory of the Duke. If it is only a unilateral order from His Majesty Timothy, it remains to be discussed. However, when the Duke was about to go off in person, Roland Wimbledon was no different from the bereaved dog.
This is also the reason why Koris came to Border Town in a hurry. First, he wanted to collect some furs as soon as possible, and second, he planned to sell the house. The first point is that he is very shrewd in his abacus. In previous years, the commoners here would have fled to Changge Fortress for refuge. Naturally, there was no inventory, but they have been staying here this year. How can they receive a few good goods? Not only can I make a small fortune, but I can also honor Fei Renuo adults.
The second point is that Koris asked Lord Ferno to arrange a seat for himself in the city hall. Although it is an idle job, it is better than this damn poor place. The house is out of use, of course, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Who knows when the duke will do it, if the untouchables accidentally burn their house down when they resist, it will be a big loss.
But he never imagined that the house was not burned down by the pariahs, but was demolished by the fourth prince. Thinking of this, the baron's teeth itch with anger, what a good house! Although one hundred and fifty golden dragons is a bit exaggerated, thirty golden dragons are all worth it.
In order to get the money earlier, I had to withdraw it again and again, and reluctantly accepted twenty pieces, but His Highness actually treated me like this! He didn't take out a coin, and threatened himself with the crime of defection. Didn't he know that every year in the month of demons, all the nobles would evacuate from this place
Wait... Korris slowed down and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although I had heard before that the fourth prince had a bad personality and was clueless in his work, and when he first arrived in Border Town, he maliciously molested Baron Simon's wife, and was talked about for a long time in private as a joke, but when we met today, it didn't feel like that at all. . The prince was not angry or disrespectful, and the demeanor he showed was completely irrelevant to his bad character and ignorance. The other party has been talking to him in a normal tone, why did he get scared like that and give up the ownership of the house obediently? Could it be that it was his own who killed the house, could His Royal Highness really kill him
By the way... Koris couldn't help shivering, and the sweat on his forehead shrank back. Looking back now, when facing the prince, he had the illusion that he was talking to the Duke.
The baron shook his head vigorously, throwing the unpleasant memory behind him. Anyway, the fourth prince won't be complacent for a few days. When Lord Ryan returns Border Town to rule, and takes Roland Wimbledon to the capital, he will have to laugh at him. Maybe these twenty golden dragons can still ask the Duke to seek justice for him.
Thinking about this, he relaxed again. Since Fur received a few good items, he didn't need to sell the house, so he just went back to the fortress. Saying "tell those nobles who will have the same misunderstanding" is simply too pretentious. When I return to Changge Fortress, I have to imitate it and let everyone know what a bluff is.
Leaving the castle district and walking down the long slope, Corris passed a hooded woman.
Originally, this is not surprising. Among the townspeople who come and go, women dress like this. If you want to see a beautiful lady or lady, you have to go to the capital. But when a gust of wind blew the corner of the woman's hood, Coris felt his heart skip a beat, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
God, what kind of woman is that woman with a rare long green hair, and her face that only shows a moment is already stunning, even if it is placed in the Royal Capital of Graycastle, it will eclipse those so-called princesses and ladies. The people who appeared in Border Town
He turned around and wanted to catch up to see what happened, but found that the other party was walking towards the castle area.
Is this the woman of His Royal Highness? The baron hesitated, and finally chose to give up. He really doesn't want to deal with the fourth prince anymore, so he should leave such villains to the Duke to clean up, and he'd better go back to the fortress earlier.
Boarded their own sloop from the dock, the boatman pulled up the sail, and the boat quickly left the dock and headed towards Longsong Fortress.
On the way back, Coris, who was sitting on the bow of the boat basking in the sun, also saw a strange sight.
In the snow about five miles away from Border Town, a large group of people appeared in his field of vision - they were wearing the same dark brown leather armor, with long wooden guns on their backs, lined up in a long line, slowly in the snow. walk through. Although separated by a layer of woods, the entire team could not be seen, but there were at least a hundred people.
This is... the farmer that the fourth prince used to fight against the evil beasts
At the beginning of the month before the snow melted, the road was inaccessible, and how difficult it was to walk in the snow, Corris could only imagine without trying it. And this group of people all hurrying with their heads lowered, as if they saw nothing at the snow that was nearly a foot deep under their feet...
He wanted to laugh a few words, but found himself unable to laugh. A question arises from the bottom of my heart unconsciously, can the knights under Lord Ryan be able to do this
