In Huiyao Castle, the soldier responsible for the night watch said hello out of boredom.
"What?"
The man yawned and pulled up the plush coat at the collar. The temperature on this side of the mountains was even lower at night, so he steeled himself to look into the distance.
The long night.
Staying vigil on the city wall is undoubtedly a very boring task.
"I heard that several families on the other side of the mountain are fighting. There were rumors in the castle two days ago that a family is coming to marry our young lady. Is this true?"
"I heard that too."
The soldier lifted some spirits.
He mocked: "I heard that the war broke out after an heir's fiancée had an affair and was discovered. It was really chaotic. Naturally, our lady will not fall in love with that guy over there."
"Tsk tsk."
When another soldier heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Indeed, with the heritage of the Huiyao family and the beauty and wisdom of the young lady, there are not many people in the entire Glory Mountains who can be worthy of a man who was insulted by his former fiancée as a coward.
How can this guy be worthy of the lady? The toad wants to eat swan meat."
Just then!
The light of the fire in the dark night outside the city caused the two people who were chatting to stop talking. After alerting their vigil companions in other areas, they became cautious and alert.
As the fire gradually approached, the figures of eight people came to the foot of the city wall. It was the Schumacher family headed by Lacy Schumacher. After confirming that they had left the foggy area, they lit torches and came with great fanfare.
"Who!"
The night watch soldiers noticed that Garen was actually carrying a strange beast that looked like a deer but not a deer, and it was even bigger than him.
"Adventurers, the city gate has been closed. You can only camp outside and come in for supplies tomorrow!"
Faced with the soldiers' shouts, Lacy Schumacher held up the torch.
"I am Lacy Schumacher, the heir to the Schumacher family. I am here specifically to visit the respected Lord of Glory. I have important matters to discuss. In addition, two of my followers were attacked and injured by strange beasts and need to be treated as soon as possible. Please report to the lord as soon as possible.
grown ups."
The night watch soldiers did not dare to be careless and hurried to the city to report the incident.
Chen Mo and his party were finally able to rest here for a while.
There was a bang.
Garen threw down the corpse of the alien beast he was carrying, and a burst of dust suddenly rose from the ground, showing its astonishing weight.
The left half of the furry bear next to Gallon was completely disfigured, as if it had been bitten off by some creature.
The cat's eye at the back of the team had his right arm missing, and his wound was covered with a blood-soaked bandage.
"Thank you for your hard work on this trip."
After Lacy Schumacher expressed condolences to several people, he looked at the towering castle and couldn't help but take a deep breath. From now on, it is the real challenge.
After a while.
Accompanied by a long "squeaking" friction sound, the metal gate of the castle slowly opened, and four sturdy little bosses led dozens of soldiers, who were well-trained and uniformly walked out of the city gate.
Each of these soldiers held a torch in their hands, which instantly illuminated the castle gate like daylight.
"Who is Lacy Schumacher?"
"I!"
After Lacy Schumacher confirmed that this person was not a lord, but should just be a commander, he handed the token in his arms to Garen, who handed it over to the other party. After the other party confirmed that it was correct, the eight people in the group were finally able to
Entering the castle, the gate slowly closed again.
"May I ask what you call the commander?"
"Gary."
The leader's expressionless response made people feel like a cold-blooded creature.
Lacy Schumacher said: "My two followers were injured while walking through the silent forest and need immediate medical treatment. Can you please make arrangements for my two followers as soon as possible?"
"Silent Forest?"
Gary carefully looked at the injuries of Mao Xiong and Mao Yan and said: "According to the rules, you must obtain the approval of the lord before you can obtain the right to rest in the castle. However, since the two of them were injured while walking through the Silent Forest,
I can first ask one of my friends to give you two emergency treatment, and you can follow Commander Gen Yamo."
"yes."
After Mao Xiong and Mao Yan left with another young leader, the remaining people continued to follow Lacy Schumacher and walked into the castle.
During the march, many soldiers secretly peeped at Garen, or the corpse of the strange beast on his body.
roar!
Just then.
From the depths of the castle, a terrible roar came.
The soldiers accompanying him were obviously used to it, but the expressions of Chen Mo, Wang Yi, Jia Long and others changed, and they instinctively felt the terror of this creature.
"This is Meron."
Lacy Schumacher took a deep breath, and he seemed to smell the pressure in the air.
The group of people followed the little leader and soon came to a hall deep in the castle. A white-haired man wearing a bearskin coat had obviously just gotten up. His mental state was not good, but he still showed an unquestionable look.
majesty.
He looked down at a few people, and everyone headed by Lacy Schumacher hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Are you Lacy Schumacher?"
"Yes, my dear lord."
The white-haired man looked at Lacy Schumacher. After receiving his affirmative answer, he nodded and said calmly: "Senior Bloodhand, are you okay now?"
"Grandpa is in good health. Before departure, he repeatedly told me to hand over this letter and this bottle of dragon blood potion to the lord."
With that said, Lacy Schumacher handed the envelope and potion to the old butler and handed it over to the man on the high seat.
There was silence in the hall.
After reading the contents of the letter, the other party's mouth showed a hint of satisfaction, shook the potion in his hand, and nodded.
"As expected of the Schumacher family, they were able to purify the dragon blood potion that is beneficial to Meron. It seems that your family's dragon blood purification technology is second to none in the Glory Mountains."
When praised in person, Lacy Schumacher immediately bowed respectfully.
There was no hint of cowardice in his self-effacing smile, which was so far from the legendary image that the old lord couldn't help but take a high look.
However, before he could speak, Lacy Schumacher moved aside and revealed Garonne.
In other words, he showed the corpse of the strange beast he was carrying.
"In addition, my followers and I encountered this strange beast when we were walking through the Silent Forest. We finally killed it after paying the price of two followers being injured. I heard that Meilong's flame breath is more powerful than the real dragon breath.
It’s not a big deal, but every time I breathe out the flame breath, I will fall into weakness, and it will take a long time to replenish my body before I can gradually recover, so I thought this strange beast is a good material for Meilong’s replenishment, so I brought it with me.”
After saying this, Lacy Schumacher looked at Galen.
Garen nodded and gently placed the body of the strange beast on the ground.
When the old lord saw this, he looked surprised, but he still waved his hand and signaled a small leader to move the body of the strange beast away.
However, this little boss, who was famous for his strength, suddenly changed his expression after coming into contact with the corpse of this strange beast.
The weight of this strange beast's corpse was unexpectedly heavy!
But at this time, even if he tried his best, he still had to take away the corpse of the strange beast, otherwise where would the lord's face be?
After seeing this little boss slowly leaving with the corpse of a strange beast that was nearly twice as big as his body, Garen couldn't help but smile to himself.
Along the way.
He, Mao Xiong, and Wang Yi carried the corpse of the strange beast.
It wasn't until the fog came out that Wang Yi suddenly suggested that everyone light up torches and show up openly, and suggested that Garon carry the beast alone to highlight his terrifying power.
I have to admit, this kid is really smart and makes the young master look good!
As for the bottle of dragon blood purification potion, it was naturally not the inferior product shown to Chen Mo and others.
The old lord naturally saw everything in his eyes and said calmly: "I already understand what you mean. Being able to take out this bottle of dragon blood purification potion shows your sincerity, and my daughter has indeed reached the age of marriage. I
As a father, I can arrange a meeting between you and my daughter tomorrow, but whether it happens or not depends on you."
There was a pause.
The old lord continued: "However, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will accept the kindness of this strange beast. Butler, arrange a place for them to rest and take six purple flame bullets from the warehouse and give them to Master Lacy.
."
"yes."
Under the leadership of the butler, everyone said goodbye and left the splendid hall.
After a while.
A boy walked into the hall. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He had flowing silver-white hair inherited from his family, and his expression was somewhat arrogant.
"Father, you don't really want your sister to marry him, do you?"
This person is none other than his fifth son, Shanming Huiyao.
It was obvious that this handsome and unruly boy did not fall in love with Lacy Schumacher. After all, this sickly man with a pale face and a slightly stooped back would hardly make anyone interested at first glance.
"Don't underestimate him."
The old lord stood up and stepped down from the high seat.
Looking at the child who already had some of his own energy, he said slowly: "After all, it is the Schumacher family, and the other party is willing to pay such a price just to meet me. If I refuse directly, it will inevitably be regarded as contempt by the other party.
, I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the future, but if you and Rouli come forward, I think the other party will have nothing to say."
Come forward yourself?
After his father's request, Shanming Huiyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Father, I understand."
Then he turned around and left happily.
He must have informed his sister about the situation here and discussed countermeasures.
When the old lord saw this, he narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
"Hmph, you want to marry my daughter, borrow my Meron, but use the wealth obtained after wiping out the Howell family as a promise. You old guy, you are really cunning!"
Although this bottle of dragon blood purification potion is precious, it is not enough for him to join the Schumacher family's war at the expense of his family's involvement in the war vortex.
What's more, there's a war on the other side of the mountain range.
The reason why he agreed to this meeting was that Gud Schumacher's former majesty was still vivid in his mind even after so many years, and he still had to give some credit to him.
Secondly, the Huiyao family has indeed reached a bottleneck in recent years. If you want to improve again, developing your influence to the other side of the mountain range is undoubtedly a good choice.
Thirdly, it was because of Lacy Schumacher’s secret information.
Although this guy's reputation on the other side of the mountain range wasn't very good, he quite appreciated it.
Especially in the face of humiliation, he still did not lose his mind, let his former fiancée leave, and openly declared war on the Miller family, which reminded him of some of his past events.
