Guided by the steward Aemon, a young troll walked through the long corridor to the inner courtyard of the Red Keep.
The troll seemed to be entering a human castle for the first time, looking around curiously all the way.
Aemon stopped outside a room, nodded slightly to the young troll, and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Messenger, the Viscount is waiting for you in the study."
"Okay." The troll smiled slightly, straightened his collar, and pushed the door open.
Colin just raised his head inside the door, but he didn't get up, he just smiled and said, "Welcome, Mr. Messenger, please sit down."
"Dear Viscount Angelet, thank you for your hospitality!" The young troll didn't care about Colin's rudeness, and was still smiling.
The maid walked in lightly, delivered a cup of coffee to the table in front of the troll, and then backed out.
"Try it. The coffee from the Su Duo family's collection." Colin made a gesture of invitation, "This is also one of the few things they left behind that I like."
The troll first picked up the mug, brought it close to his mouth and nose, sniffed it a few times, then put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it slowly.
The whole process was elegant and calm, and it seemed that he was a high-ranking troll aristocrat.
"Heavy fruit aroma, bold and unrestrained acidity, this should be a boutique Yega coffee bar from the Hidamo region."
Colin was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting that the troll turned out to be a coffee connoisseur.
"You are really amazing, you can taste all of this!" Although he didn't know whether the troll was right or not, he couldn't show his timidity at this time, and Colin immediately pretended to understand it well.
At the same time, I slandered in my heart—didn't it be said that trolls are all rams who only know how to fight and kill
Why is this one so capable of pretending to be an X
The young troll took another sip of coffee, with a hint of nostalgia in his reserved expression:
"More than a thousand years ago, the Xidamo area was still our family's territory. Hehe, it does have a taste of hometown when we taste it now."
Ke Lin was slightly startled, and asked curiously, "I haven't asked your name yet?"
The young troll stood up and gave a standard human aristocratic salute: "My name is Gambik Volkin, the son of Gambik Volkin, the Southern Prince of the Troll Empire..."
"puff!"
Colin, who was drinking coffee, spat out in one gulp.
"Ahem, I'm sorry! Choking..."
Colin picked up the handkerchief, and while lowering his head to wipe off the water stains on his body, he prevented the other party from seeing the unconcealable smile on his face.
Okamoto
Why isn't your name Durex
After some wiping, Colin finally controlled his facial expression and sat back down again.
Although Okamoto wondered why Colin suddenly lost his composure after hearing his name, he didn't have the nerve to ask.
"I didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness who personally went to the Northern Territory. What a neglect, neglect..."
Colin spoke of negligence, but his body was still leaning loosely on the back of the chair, and he didn't feel that he was paying attention to the troll prince opposite him at all.
Okamoto certainly isn't angry, at least not showing it.
After all, the anger of a loser is completely meaningless in front of a winner.
"No, this is what I should do. Over the years, there have been more and less wars between the Troll Empire and the Northern Territory, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. Every time I think of those compatriots who died in the front line, my heart aches!
Why!
Presumably you, and the Duke of St. Hilde, like me, do not want to see the war continue!
Therefore, I came to the northern border this time with a longing for peace and a longing for the friendship between the two sides... "
Okamoto was still giving an impassioned speech there, and Colin already understood the purpose of the other party.
Don't look at the high-sounding words of the new southern prince of the troll empire, why don't you want to see the war continue...
In fact, I couldn't fight, so I came to ask for peace.
Colin rubbed his chin, wondering if the Duke of St. Hilde would agree to the other party's request for peace
Now that the main army of trolls has been wiped out in one battle, they are no longer able to resist the invasion of the northern border. Will the Duke give up such a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it
Even if the Sky Ice Field is not worth occupying, you can still take this opportunity to plunder the troll empire, so as not to let the other party recuperate.
Just when Colin was wandering in the sky, a name that came out of Okamoto's mouth suddenly pulled him back.
"What? Vera? Did you mention Miss Vera just now?" Hearing Vera's name, Colin suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes." Okamoto lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
The viscount in front of him was rude to him several times, and he could hardly control the anger in his heart.
But he took a deep breath, restored his smile, and patiently explained:
"I just said that I heard that Miss Vera, the adopted daughter of the Duke, is about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, so I also prepared a gift along the way, and wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Miss Vera."
Colin narrowed his eyes, he was keenly aware that something was wrong.
"Oh? Really? I received an invitation letter for Ms. Vera's coming-of-age ceremony two days ago, so let's set off for Winter City together tomorrow."
"It's my pleasure."
Speaking of this, Colin was already wary of the young troll prince.
Because he felt that the other party might be playing Vera's idea.
Is this guy here for peace talks, or for a kiss
Just when Ke Lin was about to issue the order to expel the guests, Prince Okamoto suddenly noticed the [Blade of Judgment] hanging on the wall.
He stared at it for a long time, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "Master Viscount, I would like to ask. Is that knight sword [Blade of Judgment]?"
"Yes. It was given to me by His Excellency the Duke when he conferred the title."
The expression on Prince Okamoto's face suddenly became very strange.
There is envy, there is reverence, and there is a trace of sympathy...
Just when Colin felt that there was something wrong with the prince looking at him, Prince Okamoto suddenly smiled and said, "Master Viscount, I wonder if you have heard of His Highness Otto Volkin."
"Otto?" Colin shook his head.
He had never heard of this name, but he knew from the surname that this was also a troll royal family.
"His Royal Highness Otto is my uncle and the Northern Prince of the Troll Empire. He just successfully entered the sanctuary recently!"
Colin frowned. He didn't know why the other party suddenly mentioned this, but he congratulated perfunctorily: "Oh, really? Congratulations to you all. Finally, the troll empire has another paladin."
"That's right! After a hundred years, the empire finally gave birth to another paladin!" Okamoto's smile brightened, "However, after the clan uncle successfully promoted to the sanctuary, he once said that he will soon be with [Judgment] The master of Blade] will have another duel!
The shame of being beheaded by the previous emperor, His Majesty Leo! "
"..." Colin was dumbfounded.
A paladin challenged him to a duel
Is it because of this that the Duke of St. Hilde threw the sword to him
A huge pot from the sky!
