"Colin, did you not sleep well yesterday?"
Looking at Colin who was yawning, Vera asked with concern, and at the same time handed over a roasted deer leg.
Ke Lin took it and said with a smile: "It's okay, I was awakened by a few mosquitoes in the middle of the night last night, and then I didn't fall asleep."
"Do you want to catch up on sleep in the afternoon?"
"No need, let's continue on our way after lunch later, and withdraw the Golden Lion Legion earlier, so we can feel at ease earlier."
"Okay." Seeing this, Vera stopped persuading her and handed Colin a few slices of white bread.
The eyes of Maester Dawn on the side flickered slightly, because he saw several obvious scratches on Colin's exposed arm when he reached out to pick up the food just now.
However, he didn't ask anything.
Smart people are like this, even if they see a problem, they know what not to ask, so don't ask.
Colin actually noticed Maester Dwayne's gaze, but when he saw that the other party pretended not to see it, he took a bite of the roasted venison and said:
"Bachelor Dawn, what kind of family do you think Morrison is?"
Bachelor Dawn paused, then said after deliberation: "Master Viscount, I think the Morrison family should have the qualities to be an excellent family, such as loyalty, humility, and pragmatism!"
Colin chewed on the three evaluations given by Maester Dawn, and seemed to have some ideas in his mind.
Obviously, the three adjectives given by Maester Dawn were not chosen randomly.
First of all, loyalty, which means that the Morrison family is deeply involved with the St. Hilde family, and there is basically no room for betrayal.
Secondly, humility, which implies that the Morrison family is low-key and not well-known in the North.
Finally, pragmatically, this is also the most interesting evaluation.
Would a pragmatic family insist on marrying the daughter of the St. Hilde family from generation to generation, knowing that the theory of blood purification is not feasible
Especially when such behavior has caused the Morrison family to suffer a "curse of blood".
Obviously impossible.
Therefore, there must be deep-seated reasons why the Morrison family is obsessed with the daughter of the St. Hilde family!
Reminiscent of the horrific scene he saw at the bottom of the bell tower of Phoenix Butterfly Castle last night, Ke Lin suddenly had some guesses.
Bachelor Dawn seemed to see some of Colin's thoughts, so he persuaded: "Master Viscount, I think that what you should pay more attention to now is not the Morrison family."
"Oh? Then which family do you think it should be?"
"The Uman family." Maester Dawn said firmly.
"Uman..." Colin chewed on the name of this familiar old rival family, "What do you think?"
"Master Viscount, you also heard the news that Falling Eagle City was burned in the Phoenix Butterfly Castle. Obviously, the Uman family has become the abandoned son of the Santheon family, no, more precisely, it should be a sacrifice.
Earl Uman, whose lair was destroyed, will definitely not continue to be loyal to the San Theon family, and his family soldiers will definitely hate the San Theon family who destroyed their homeland, so this is our chance. "
"Are you trying to win over the Uman family?" Colin frowned.
He didn't want Earl Uman to stand in the same camp as him. Doesn't that mean that the revenge of his predecessor could not be avenged
Moreover, Colin couldn't trust Earl Uman's old silver coin to give him his back.
Bachelor Dawn didn't seem to be too keen on wooing the Uman family, so he said lightly: "I just think it's okay to try. However, I guess the Santheon family may have already had a countermeasure against the Uman family, and they definitely won't Let the enemy you just established turn around and fall into the arms of the St. Hilde family.
Therefore, we should first confirm the situation of Earl Uman and his family's army. If he has not suffered from the murderous hands of the Santheon family, then we can indeed win over him and take the opportunity to disintegrate the power of the Santheon family. "
Colin nodded, did not speak, and did not expressly agree with Maester Dawn's suggestion.
Maester Dawn seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a lot.
call-
The breeze blew by, and it brought a burst of frost.
The bonfire in front of him also began to waver, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.
"There is a problem!" Colin stood up immediately, threw away the deer leg, and grabbed the saber at his waist.
"It's arcane wave!" Vera also exclaimed, "There's a mage casting spells! Moreover, it's an extremely powerful mage!"
"Warning! Search around!" The Logue knight immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time sent out cavalry squads to try to find the mage who was casting a spell.
The sky was originally clear, but it suddenly became cloudy in the blink of an eye.
It seemed that a moment of torrential rain was about to begin.
"He's in the woods to the west!" Vera shouted suddenly, pointing out her finger.
"Quick! Stop him!"
Amid the rapid sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry rushed towards the direction Vera pointed at like lightning.
But before they could find out the mage who was hiding in the shadows and casting spells, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.
Boom!
What followed was dull thunder.
After that, snowflakes floated in the sky.
That's it
Ke Lin and the others, who had been waiting in full force, were suddenly a little dumbfounded.
Looking at the opponent's formation, they thought it was some kind of terrifying spell, but they never thought it was just snow.
Of course, being able to create a heavy snowfall in early summer is quite a feat...
At this time, the cavalry team that rushed over had also found the mage, and immediately escorted him to Colin.
"Teacher Cusius? Why are you?" Vera cried out in surprise when she saw the person coming.
No wonder she always felt a very familiar aura just now, it turned out that it was her teacher who was casting the spell.
"Haha, Miss Vera, Viscount Angelet, don't be nervous, I was just joking with you."
Cusius was pressed against the back with swords by the cavalry, but he had a calm expression on his face, even thinking about joking.
Ke Lin looked at this incomprehensible high-ranking mage, and his thoughts moved slightly, but on the surface, he had a very welcoming attitude, smiled and shook hands with him cordially and said:
"Mr. Cuscius? It's so lucky to meet you here! Vera has always told me that you taught her a lot in Yeville, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you for taking care of her in person. "
"Master Viscount, you are too polite! I hope my joke just now didn't cause you too much trouble."
"Of course not, do you want to have dinner together?"
"my pleasure!"
Cusius was not polite to Colin either. He casually walked to the bonfire, grabbed a piece of roasted venison on the grill, and put it in his mouth to bite.
"Woo! It tastes good!"
While eating, he gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Teacher, what are you doing in the north this time?" Vera poured a glass of red wine and handed it over.
Cusius took the wine glass, drank it down, then hiccupped contentedly, and said casually:
"I just came here for a tour, and also to see my friends in the north, of course, and you, my good apprentice!
It's been more than a year since you left Yeville, you haven't missed your studies, right? Do you still remember the knowledge of spells? "
"Of course I remember!" Vera said immediately, but she lacked confidence.
Cusius saw through it at a glance, and then began to investigate Vera's arcane knowledge.
Ke Lin watched coldly from the sidelines, his vigilance undiminished.
The timing of the appearance of this Cushius mage is too coincidental!
Moreover, according to Vera, this person is a close friend with that gentleman from the San Theon family.
Even the curse that killed the Duke of St. Hilde released by Mr. Ji as a sacrifice to the entire Eagle Falling City is suspected to be an improved version of a curse called "Eye of Petrification" once collected by Master Cushius. .
Under such circumstances, Colin did not believe that Cousius really knew nothing about what happened in Fallen Eagle City.
I don't even believe that the other party's sudden appearance here is not for ulterior motives.
Of course, Ke Lin would not drive him away, after all, he was also Vera's teacher.
Moreover, a mage hiding in the dark is the scariest thing, and someone like him who actively exposes himself is not much of a threat.
