In the Skylark City in winter, there are indeed no skylarks.
However, Ke Lin saw a lot of Nestle in the eaves and corners along the way. It is conceivable that when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the sky of this city must be quite lively.
"Knight Beatrice, do you know where these skylarks migrate in winter?"
Beatrice was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting Colin to ask such a question.
You know, at this time they were walking on the streets of Skylark City, and both sides were crowded with glaring Eastlanders.
Nowadays, Ke Lin's reputation in the Eastern Realm is not good, almost synonymous with devil.
If it weren't for the guards of the Fein family guarding both sides of the road, it is estimated that many people from the Eastern Region who are about to make a move have already rushed forward to tear Colin into pieces.
But under such circumstances, Ke Lin was still concerned about the problem of skylark migration, which surprised Beatrice.
"Skylarks migrate east in winter."
"Will it migrate into Huiyue Forest?"
"I don't know about this." Beatrice shook her head and said, "If you are interested in this, you can ask Yeville in the easternmost part of the East Territory."
Colin nodded, thinking that one day he would go to that arcane city to see.
And the reason why he was concerned about the migration of the skylark was because he thought of a question - if the skylark could migrate into the Huiyue Forest, wouldn't that mean that the taboo restrictions of the Huiyue Forest only existed on the ground
Of course, this makes no difference to humans. After all, even paladins can only volley for a short time and cannot fly long distances.
But Colin can fly.
Just thinking about it all the way, Colin has been led into the Fein family's castle by Beatrice, and came to the living room.
Beatrice waved away the maids who wanted to come forward to serve, poured a glass of red wine herself, and handed it to Colin.
The wine was swirling in the cup, and it was as red as blood.
Colin took it with a smile and drank it down.
If it was Grace, I would probably ask - aren't you afraid of poison in wine
But Beatrice would not try this way, this sharp female knight just smiled with appreciation.
"Master Earl, is my worthless son okay now?"
"Very good." Colin said with a smile, "Silvermoon City is a good place, and half-elves are also a hospitable race."
"That's good." Beatrice didn't seem to be too worried about her son, and asked calmly, "Then, my lord, what are the conditions for redeeming Count Feiyin?"
Colin turned the red wine glass in his hand, and asked back: "What else can your Fein family give me now?"
"Money, slaves, beauties... Lord Earl, as long as you ask, the Finn family will do their best to satisfy your request. But..." Beatrice changed the subject, "I think these things are not worthy of you."
"Really?" Colin put down his wine glass, leaned back on the back of the chair, and asked with great interest, "Then what do you think is worthy of me?"
There was a strange light in Beatrice's amber eyes. She came to Colin and said while refilling the wine glass:
"How about a head?"
Colin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "That depends on whose head it is."
Beatrice brought the wine glass to Colin, smiled and said, "How about it, Archbishop Kate?"
"Duchess?" Colin was startled.
Of course he knew that the "Archbishop Kate" that Beatrice was referring to was the wife of the Duke of St. Pros.
However, this sturdy female knight just killed a Bishop of Skylark City, and now she proposes to kill another Archbishop of the Eastern Region...
Is this determined to confront the church
Ke Lin suddenly thought of something, and immediately crossed his hands, making a lotus-like handprint.
Unexpectedly, Beatrice just frowned after seeing this handprint, and asked in doubt: "My lord, is this wine not to your taste?"
Colin smiled awkwardly, reached out to take the wine glass from Beatrice, brought it to his lips, and took the opportunity of drinking to cover up his embarrassment.
Originally, he thought that Beatrice was another pawn placed by Queen Midella in the Eastern Territory, but now it seems that he was thinking too much.
"Knight Beatrice, do you have any enmity with the church?"
"There is no personal enmity, but there is public indignation!"
Colin took a sip of his wine and motioned for Beatrice to continue explaining with his eyes.
Beatrice did not continue, but asked instead: "Master Earl, what do you think is the biggest hidden danger of the Glory Empire at present?"
"Orcs?"
"No." Beatrice shook her head slowly, "The orcs may seem menacing, but they are not terrible. Since the Glorious Empire has repelled the orcs twice, it can naturally do it a third time.
Moreover, external threats are necessary in my opinion. As a person from the northern border, you should be able to understand this truth after fighting with trolls all year round. "
Colin nodded, already somewhat guessing what Beatrice was about to say, but he didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"I think that this corrupt and corrupt church is the biggest cancer and hidden danger entrenched in the empire!"
Colin looked at Beatrice with a calm face, and reminded with a smile: "Knight Beatrice, do you know what will happen to you if this remark is spread?"
"Burned at the stake?" Beatrice shrugged and said indifferently.
Colin put down his wine glass, changed his sitting position, and asked again: "Then why are you talking about how the church has become a cancer of the empire?"
Beatrice refilled Colin's wine glass, and said slowly: "Because of its existence, the Glorious Empire was split.
For example, your invasion of the Eastern Territory this time, if I'm not mistaken, it should be ordered by the royal family, right? "
Colin took the glass without admitting or denying it.
Beatrice didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The open and secret struggle between the royal family and the church has begun since the founding of the empire.
Such infighting seriously damaged the stability and unity of the empire.
The church that was supposed to spread the glory of our Lord and help the people achieve salvation lost itself in the wrong way of fighting for power and profit.
What they think all day long is how to divide and win over the power of the lords to help them fight against the royal family and safeguard their own interests.
Isn't the St. Pros family in the east such a tool—or more accurately—a victim!
My good daughter-in-law, the Bishop of Lark City, why did you encourage the knights of the Finn family to assassinate you
Isn't it just to make the eastern border and the northern border form an irresolvable feud!
And the Duchess who is the archbishop of the East Territory, I know all the tricks she played in White Dew Castle! "
Hearing this, Ke Lin couldn't help showing some doubts on his face.
Seeing this, Beatrice immediately said: "My lord, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Beatrice St. Pross."
Colin frowned. He didn't expect this knight to be from the St. Pros family, but the doubts on his face did not completely dissipate.
In his opinion, a lady like Beatrice who married into the Viscount family from the St. Pross family is probably from a collateral lineage, and she has been married for so many years, so how can she know the secrets of Bailu Castle clearly.
Who knows, Beatrice went on to say:
"I am the younger sister of the Duke of St. Pros."
