The news about the Duke's military order quickly spread throughout Ice Rock City.
There was joy in the city.
Everyone believed that as long as Marquis Garcia came out in person, the battle of revenge would be sure.
Of course, it would be an understatement to say that everything is guaranteed.
After all, the Black Cavalry Army has never been defeated since it officially formed an army.
But Colin was not very happy.
And, as the days passed, his worries grew.
Because, the Marquis of Garcia seems to have no intention of leading troops northward at all.
What's more, the private armies of the lords in the northern border kept gathering towards Ice Rock City, almost turning the entire city into a huge military camp.
As more and more soldiers poured into Ice Rock City, the confidence of the people in the city also increased.
In their view, this should be that the lords are responding to Marquis Garcia's call, preparing to gather troops and cooperate with the Black Cavalry to fight back to the Sky Ice Field.
However, Colin, who knew the original text of the Duke's military order, was not so optimistic.
Because he clearly remembered that Knight Bliss told him personally that the Duke ordered the Marquis Garcia to lead the Black Cavalry to pursue the troll, but he never asked him to summon the private armies of the lords to attack together!
Did Marquis Garcia lie about the Duke's military order
What did he want to do with gathering so many troops
Are you really planning to attack the sky ice field
still…
Colin's ominous premonition became more and more serious.
For the next ten days, the black cavalry army remained silent, while the private armies of the northern lords gathered more and more.
Seeing that the situation is about to slip into the most dangerous abyss, Ice Rock City is almost becoming a huge powder keg, and Colin is already ready to run away.
But at this moment, he suddenly received news from Vera.
"Miss Vera wants to see me?"
"Yes."
Under the gaze of the maid, Ke Lin hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, lead the way."
The maid led Colin all the way into the castle of the Su Duo family, and came to a garden in the backyard of the castle.
In the garden, Colin saw Vera at a glance.
Long time no see, this female mage has lost a lot.
It seems that she is also worried about the current tense situation.
"Colin, here you come!"
Under the sunshine in the morning, Vera looked calm and peaceful.
She didn't wear noble clothes today, but simple homely clothes.
The upper body is a thin white shirt, and the lower body is a black skirt. A small rose flower is embroidered on the left chest of the shirt and the corner of the skirt.
However, even such a simple dress can hardly hide its beautiful appearance.
She was absorbed in tending a plant in the garden when Colin came in.
After seeing Colin, Vera smiled and waved to him, as if a girl was greeting her first love.
For some reason, when he saw Vera, Colin's restless heart suddenly settled down.
He walked over and bowed to salute: "Good morning, Miss Vera."
"Good morning, Colin. Have you had your breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"Would you like something to drink then?"
"Cafe."
Vera motioned for the maid to bring a cup of coffee.
Colin thanked him and took it, taking a sip.
After the strong bitterness enters the mouth, it turns into a faint sweetness, with some refreshing fragrance.
"Not bad." Vera smiled slightly after seeing Colin's enjoying expression, "This is a treasure of the Su Duo family."
"Haha, then I still take your light."
Holding a coffee cup, Colin knelt down beside Vera, looked at the plant in front of her and asked, "Is this the flower you planted?"
"This is not a flower." Vera shook her head. "This is twin grass, a plant that is extremely precious to mages. Moreover, it was not planted by me. It was given to me by Cavalier Kahn."
"That's right, it seems that Kahn Knight is really generous!"
It's sending coffee and precious plants. In order to win Vera's favor, this Kahn will not empty out the Su Duo family's old bottom, right
For this kind of man, although Ke Lin praised him superficially, he had already scolded him in his heart—
Bah, lick the dog!
This kind of dog licking can be said to be the public enemy of all men, because their behavior raises the psychological expectations of girls and greatly damages the interests of other men.
Just like Colin, he doesn't know what gift to give Vera now, he almost can't afford it, and even better...it seems that he can't afford it.
Vera didn't know the psychological activities of the man beside her. She stared at the twin grass in front of her, sighed suddenly, and said leisurely:
"Did you know? This twin grass looks like one, but it's actually a pair.
Since birth, the branches of this pair of twin grasses have been entangled and supported each other, but they are too tightly entangled and torture each other.
Do you see that drop of pale green juice
That's what their branches entwine and squeeze each other to shed. "
While speaking, the drop of juice gradually formed and suddenly fell.
The drops fell into the soil but did not seep in, but turned into an amber-like green gem.
Vera carefully picked up the green gem, and explained: "This is the crystallization of the juice of twin grasses, which is an extremely precious material for casting spells. However, this is actually the blood and tears shed when they tortured each other."
It was the first time for Colin to see this magical plant, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.
But immediately, he realized that Vera's words seemed to mean something.
Is the relationship between the Duke of St. Hilde and the Marquis of Garcia the same as that of this twin grass, supporting each other but opposing each other
Vera put away the crystal of the twin grass, turned her head, and said to Colin: "You should know that my father and uncle are a little stiff now, so can you help me persuade them?"
Your father and your uncle are more than a little stiff right now...
Ke Lin was speechless for a while, but on the surface he comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. However, I'm an outsider... It's not easy to persuade. Have you tried to persuade yourself?"
"Of course I persuaded." Vera puffed her cheeks, seeming a little angry, "but my uncle ignored my advice at all. As for my father, I have already written two letters and sent them to Winter City, but both Stone sank in the sea."
Colin was silent.
Vera was a little anxious: "Did you know? Recently I got news that the Golden Lion Army has begun to gather, and it seems that they intend to march towards Ice Rock City!"
Colin was taken aback.
The Golden Lion Legion is the direct army of the St. Hilde family. If this army is also mobilized, it will show that the Duke of St. Hilde has made an uncompromising gesture, and is even ready to die up
"Colin, you can always find a way in desperate situations, this time, you must help me too!"
Facing Vera's soft request, Colin couldn't say no to it.
At this time, he finally understood what it means to be a "beautiful woman".
"Okay. I'll go with you to see Marquis Garcia."
"Thank you, Colin!"
"Don't be too happy, I can only try my best to persuade you, as for whether you can succeed..."
"Whether I succeed or not, I will be grateful!"
