The troll messenger only stayed in Ice Rock City for one day before continuing on his way to Cold Winter City.
Colin also set off with them.
This time he went to Cold Winter City, he only brought Knight Rego and a hundred guards.
He left the Shire Knight and Raymond Knight in Ice Rock City to continue training.
He also handed over the affairs of the territory to Aemon and Quincy.
Originally, her older sister Caitlin would also come with her, but after hearing that her long-lost husband finally had news, she ran to Eagle Falling City.
Colin didn't stop either.
He is not sure now whether his sister participated in the murder of him.
So, let her go.
Anyway, sooner or later he will settle accounts with the Uman family.
Now there is just insufficient evidence, and the strength is not enough.
However, he already has an excellent chess piece, and when the time is right, he will avenge his past.
And this chess piece—the blood slave Cynthia was also brought out by Ke Lin this time.
It is far away behind the team, kilometers away.
Ke Lin discovered that he could issue orders to blood slaves within a range of three kilometers at the farthest, and if he went any farther, he would lose contact.
On the way to Winter City, the troll prince often came to Colin's side, and his attitude was quite enthusiastic.
But Colin's attitude was somewhat perfunctory.
First, he felt that the other party might covet Vera;
Secondly, the news that the paladin wanted to challenge him to a duel also made him quite unhappy.
However, Colin was not too worried about this.
After all, when the troll paladin said that, he was clearly targeting Duke St. Hilde.
It was not Colin who cut off the head of the previous troll emperor, although he is now the master of [Blade of Judgment].
But if a paladin came to a duel with a third-tier knight, he would really be the laughing stock of the world.
Presumably the paladin couldn't afford to lose this man.
As for who the northern border will send to deal with this sanctuary powerhouse at that time, that is not something Ke Lin has to worry about.
It is estimated that the Duke of St. Hilde will not play in person, because it would be courting death.
In Colin's memory, there are currently no paladins in the Northern Territory.
But the Glory Empire has it, and there are two more.
The paladins from the troll empire came to the door, presumably these two paladins would not just sit idly by.
Anyway, no matter what, the little Viscount Colin had nothing to do with him.
Prince Okamoto purely wanted to scare Colin at the beginning, in order to retaliate against Colin's contempt and rudeness to him.
Naturally, Ke Lin would not give this troll envoy any good looks, even if the other party was a prince.
A loser is a loser.
After personally experiencing that battle and witnessing the black cavalry army slaughtering 300,000 trolls like a pig, it was difficult for Colin to look at the biggest enemy of the northern border.
Prince Okamoto didn't care about Ke Lin's indifference.
Perhaps he was already mentally prepared, and the prince's posture was very low.
Along the way, he took care of Colin in every possible way, as if he really became Colin's servant.
This aroused Colin's wariness instead.
This Prince Okamoto is not a Goujian type of character, is he
On the surface, he commits himself to serving the enemy and lowers his own threat, but in fact he is trying his best to save the power of revenge secretly.
Ke Lin was secretly vigilant, and began to think about how to sabotage the peace talks between the other party.
Can't let the troll succeed in slowing down.
…
The speed of the team was not fast, and it took eight days to arrive at Cold Winter City.
Colin had been to this central city in the north before, but every time he came, he would be deeply shocked by it.
The whole of Winter City is built on a mountain.
Like a condescending behemoth, overlooking the entire northern border.
The magnificent city wall with a height of more than 30 meters is set up halfway up the mountain. The higher you go, the higher the status of the people who live there.
And standing on the top of the mountain shrouded in mist all year round is the castle of the St. Hilde family - Lion's Roar Castle.
It is said that this is the highest castle in the entire northern region, and even in the entire Glorious Empire. It is hard to imagine how much it cost to build it.
The towering city made everyone speechless for a while.
Especially those trolls, who have never seen such a miraculous building complex, can't help showing fear on their faces.
"Listen to my roar, it is the wrath of heaven!"
Okamoto looked at the majestic castle standing high in the clouds, and couldn't help but read the clan language of the St. Hilde family.
When he heard this sentence before, the troll prince was a little disapproving.
I feel that no matter how powerful the St. Hilde family is, they are not qualified to put the word "heavenly kingdom" into their language.
But now, he understood.
Anyone who lives in that castle and looks down on all living beings will inevitably have the illusion that he is the spokesperson of the gods in the world.
I don't know if he remembered the terrifying scene when the black cavalry army charged in groups, Prince Okamoto trembled uncontrollably.
Colin admired the fear of the trolls, and couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart as a northerner.
"Please, Your Highness Okamoto."
"Oh, good, good. Your Excellency Viscount, please first."
Prince Okamoto's waist seemed to be bent lower than before.
A group of people went up the mountain and came to the city gate halfway up the mountain.
The closer the distance, the more you can feel the great oppression emanating from this city.
It seemed that there was really a male lion entrenched in the mountains, watching everyone coldly.
At this time, there was a long queue at the gate of the city, and those who entered the city were waiting for inspection.
However, as a nobleman, Ke Lin certainly didn't need to queue up.
When the flag of the Roaring White Bear was displayed, the crowd quickly parted to make way for Colin and his party.
The trolls also took Ke Lin's light, and walked to the gate of the city together.
However, for them, the eyes of the surrounding people are not very friendly.
If they hadn't followed Colin and made the people think that they were the viscount's captives or slaves, someone might have rushed up to beat them up long ago.
When they came to the gate of the city, the guards treated Colin very attentively, and immediately let him pass after confirming his identity.
The treatment of trolls is completely different.
Even though Prince Okamoto had produced his identity certificate and the mission letter signed by the troll emperor himself, the guards still asked questions, made things difficult, and showed distrust.
They even searched their luggage repeatedly, turned out all the contents inside, and ruined them at will, with an extremely bad attitude.
Ke Lin watched from the side with a smile, and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
Many trolls were enraged by the attitude of the guards, and they were on the verge of breaking out.
But the guards not only didn't restrain themselves, but intensified their provocations, as if they wished that these trolls would take the initiative to provoke them, and then they would have a reason to kill these trolls.
Prince Okamoto maintained a smile from the beginning to the end, with a look of flattery, no matter how difficult the guards made him, he patiently explained.
His restraint also calmed the other trolls.
The guards gradually lost interest when they saw these trolls being so cowardly, and waved them to enter the city.
"Your Excellency, Viscount, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The guards in your country are really dedicated."
Ke Lin looked at the other party's smiling face. Although he knew it was fake, he still had to admire the other party's endurance.
This young troll prince is indeed a character.
Just when he was about to greet Prince Okamoto to enter the city, there was a slight commotion at the gate of the city.
Colin looked up and saw a team of half-elfs appearing outside the city gate.
