"The Marquis is not at the castle?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis has gone hunting on the outskirts of the city."
Colin and Vera rushed to nothing, and Marquis Garcia was not in the castle at the moment.
"Then, can I trouble you to take us to see him?"
"Of course, it's my honor." Faced with Vera's request, the marquis's guards certainly would not refuse.
So, Colin followed the marquis guard to the stables to lead the horses, while Vera went back to change into clothes that were convenient for riding.
When he came to the stable, Colin ran into an old acquaintance head-on.
"Good morning, Knight Cynthia." Colin greeted with a smile on his face, and cursed "crazy woman" in his heart.
Cynthia seemed to have just come back from the outside, she was taken aback when she saw Colin, and then asked with an uneasy expression, "What are you doing here?"
"Anyway, I didn't come here to look for you." Seeing that the crazy woman was so rude, Colin snapped back angrily.
Cynthia stared almond-eyed, and her right hand touched the saber at her waist.
Colin was taken aback. This woman is really crazy. If she disagrees with her, she will fight again
The Marquis guard next to him was also frightened by these two people. He didn't understand the situation at all for a while, but seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, he quickly stood up and explained:
"Cavalier Cynthia, Cavalier Colin came to the castle at the invitation of Miss Vera, and is preparing to go to the outskirts of the city to meet Marquis Garcia."
Originally, Cynthia was about to scold a guard who dared to interrupt in front of her, but when she heard the name of "Marquis Garcia" and saw the black lion badge on the opponent's breastplate, she immediately died down.
It also depends on the owner to beat the dog.
The guards of Marquis Garcia are not ordinary guards.
Cynthia is crazy, but not stupid.
Seeing that Cynthia had been discouraged, Ke Lin was about to say something to ridicule him, but when he saw the servant leading Cynthia's horse in a blink of an eye, he was immediately happy.
Another old acquaintance.
Great dutiful son, Sal!
"Knight Cynthia, the servant who is leading your horse looks good, is it for sale?"
"Not for sale!" Cynthia refused without thinking.
Ke Lin was not surprised by Cynthia's answer, but said leisurely: "Don't refuse in a hurry, don't you intend to hear my bid?"
Cynthia raised her sword eyebrows slightly, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then tell me."
Hearing this sentence, the corners of Colin's mouth immediately raised.
Hooked.
Although Thrall kept his head down, Colin still keenly noticed the opponent's clenched fists and his instantly stiff body.
He is a viper!
This is Bliss Knight's evaluation of Thrall.
Colin very much agrees.
A person who can even betray his father, what else can't betray
Cynthia thought that she gave Sal shelter, and Sal would be grateful to Dade.
However, Colin knew very well that as long as Cynthia showed any intention of selling Sal to Colin, then the seeds of hatred would definitely be planted in Sal's heart.
"Ten gold coins!" Colin said casually.
Cynthia sneered: "Knight Colin, is your Angelet family already in such distress? If you want to buy a servant at this price, I suggest you go to the slave market in the west of the city."
To be honest, the price of ten gold coins is not too low.
Of course, it's not too high.
In fact, as long as Colin's bid does not far exceed Sal's value, then Cynthia will definitely not agree to disgust Colin.
And Colin didn't want Cynthia to agree.
All he has to do is ask for a price.
The seeds of hatred have been planted, just waiting to take root and germinate.
Hearing that Cynthia rejected Colin, Sal's body immediately relaxed, but just as Colin expected, Sal's resentment towards Cynthia had been deeply buried in his heart.
At this moment, Thrall suddenly remembered something his father had said:
"Don't get too close to nobles!
We are cattle and sheep, they are tigers and leopards.
We eat grass, they eat meat—
It's our meat! "
For his father, Thrall has never really thought highly of him, thinking that he is too conservative, too timid, and does not have enough aggressiveness and adventurous spirit.
But Thrall agrees with the above words.
It is true that these nobles never regarded commoners as the same creature, nor did they care about their life or death.
However, Thrall did not fully agree with his father's words.
In Thrall's view, he may not be destined to eat grass for a lifetime!
He wants to eat meat too!
Eat noble meat!
…
Colin did not expect that what he buried in Sal's heart was not only resentment towards Cynthia, but also resentment towards the entire noble class!
This resentment is gathering bit by bit, and one day, it will become a frenzy sweeping the entire northern border!
…
After Cynthia left with Sal, Colin waited for a long time before Vera arrived late.
There is no way, women change clothes, the speed is always very slow.
Moreover, this speed is generally inversely proportional to its beauty.
Of course, when seeing Vera after changing her costume, Colin still felt that no matter how long the wait was worth it.
I saw that she changed into a purple chiffon shirt with a white military uniform over it. The tight-fitting breeches outlined a pair of round and straight long legs, which firmly attracted the attention of a certain LSP.
Seemingly noticing Colin's gaze, Vera's little face blushed a little.
"Let's go, Colin."
"good!"
The three got on their horses and headed all the way to the outskirts of the city.
In the early morning of spring, the sun is shining brightly.
Even though Colin is a little disgusted by direct sunlight because of his bloodline, he has to admit that this is a beautiful morning.
It is suitable for spring with beauty.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere is not right.
The current tense situation prevented Colin and Vera from talking, and only cared about galloping all the way.
Under the guidance of the marquis' guards, the three of them gradually approached the camp of the Black Cavalry outside the city.
The strong murderous aura rushing towards his face made Colin forget to take a sneak peek at Vera's vigorous posture on horseback.
Something seems wrong!
Why don't you just go hunting, why are you so murderous
Colin frowned, thinking hard about how to persuade Marquis Garcia later.
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence.
In his opinion, since Marquis Garcia forced Marquis Charles to give up his title in public that night, there was no room for change.
To be honest, Colin always felt that Marquis Garcia handled this matter very unwisely.
Look at Earl Uman, who first launched the puppet Kann Suduo to attract firepower, and then in the name of smoothing things over, he actually ended up with the Marquis of La Garcia.
He achieved his goal without any trace, but he didn't let himself get too involved in this vortex.
The whole operation is very smooth, advance and retreat freely.
This is the quality and means that an old politician should have.
And Marquis Garcia...
This man with the most military talent in the North seems to be a little... naive politically.
Just as Colin was thinking wildly, the three of them had arrived at the Black Cavalry camp and met Marquis Garcia.
"uncle!"
"Master Marquis!"
Marquis Garcia nodded towards the two, as if he was not surprised by their arrival.
"Uncle, where are you going to hunt?" Vera looked at the whole army of black cavalry ready to go, feeling a little drummed in her heart.
At this time, Colin's mood has sunk to the bottom.
Although I haven't started persuasion yet, but seeing the appearance of the Black Cavalry Army, it's useless to persuade them.
It's all ready to go!
In Colin's desperate eyes, Marquis Garcia raised his whip and pointed to the north:
"The ice field of the sky."
"The sky, the sky... the ice field?"
"Yes!" Marquis Garcia smiled and confirmed, "I'm ready to hunt the sky ice field!"
Vera was still in a daze, but Colin had already reacted.
cheated!
The entire northern border has been deceived!
No, not only the northern border, I'm afraid even the trolls have been deceived!
The Marquis of Garcia deliberately created a tense situation against the Duke of St. Hilde, probably in order to confuse and paralyze the enemy.
Let everyone think that the black cavalry will cause chaos in the north.
However, Marquis Garcia has only one goal from beginning to end—trolls!
Ke Lin thought that he was still slandering Marquis Garcia's political imbecility just now, but now it seems that the other party is simply acting.
But I was deceived from beginning to end like a fool!
"Knight Colin." Marquis Garcia suddenly turned to Colin. "Someone told me that you are born to be on the battlefield. Do you dare to hunt the ice field with me?"
Ke Lin only felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead, as if it was a trace of consciousness remaining from his predecessor.
It also seems to be out of his own expectation that he doesn't want to see the lives of the northern border.
It also seemed to be happy that Vera didn't have to be in a dilemma between her father and uncle.
In short, the image of the Marquis of Garcia in Colin's eyes suddenly became larger.
No wonder the predecessor admired him so much.
The military god of the North, the guardian of the human race, the idol of all young people in the North!
How could such a person be caught in the vortex of intrigue and infighting
His sharp sword seems to point to only one direction forever - the ice field of the sky!
Thinking of this, Colin just felt relieved.
At the same time, he also developed a good impression of the commander of the Black Banner Army.
Immediately responded loudly: "Why don't you dare!"
Marquis Garcia laughed loudly, swung his long whip, and gave an order:
"Let's go!"
Fifty thousand cavalry are like a dark tide covering the sky and covering the earth, rolling north!
