After another busy night at the construction site, Werther and Lina returned to the castle tiredly. It had been a week since they started building the defense tower, and now the defense tower has reached the twentieth meter.
After breakfast time, Wile also began to take the workers to the construction site.
"Witt, today I will clean the second floor of the castle. Go to bed quickly," Lina said.
"But you did it yesterday, and it's my turn to clean today." Werther took the broom and mop from the castle and prepared to go upstairs.
"When building the defense tower, you consumed much more energy than I did." Lina wanted to take the tool from Witte's hand.
"Okay, you two, stop arguing." Laura suddenly stood in front of them, "I have already cleaned the second floor for you, and the first floor has also been cleaned."
Werther asked in surprise: "It turns out you cleaned the first floor. I thought it was Margery and York. Are you sure you are telling the truth?"
Laura's eyebrows raised: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can go upstairs and check. Even if you don't believe that I cleaned the first floor, you can also believe that I cleaned the second floor."
Werther went up the stairs, and Lina and Laura followed. Sure enough, what appeared in front of them was a clean and new corridor, and even all the bedroom doors had been wiped.
"Well, what I said is right, right?" Laura looked proud.
"Laura, you are so awesome." Linna couldn't help but praise.
"It's indeed very good, but have you done your own tasks?" Werther crossed his arms on his chest and glanced at Laura.
"I helped you clean the castle after I finished my work." Laura said, took out two letters from her apron and said, "Also, there are two letters from you this morning."
Witte's eyes suddenly lit up, it must be about the borrowing of troops, and he hoped that his father would trust him this time.
He took the envelopes and found that one was sent in his father's name, and the other was sent by a man named Niklos.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"The king's letter was delivered by the royal postman. I happened to be free at the time, so I collected it for you. As for the letter from Nickles, it was found by Kath in the public mailbox and should have been delivered this morning.
It's here." Laura put her index finger on the corner of her mouth and recalled.
"I understand, you go and do your own business first." Werther said to Laura.
"Yes, Your Highness, I won't disturb you." Laura jumped down the stairs.
Werther hurriedly opened the king's envelope and read it eagerly.
What he didn't expect was that the letter simply said: We do not agree to borrow troops, and the king's servant Maier replied on behalf of the king. This was the king's wish.
"What! My father is too casual! Why does he still not believe me? Why does he ask his servant to reply to the letter instead of replying in person?" Witte was extremely anxious. "If we don't have troops, no matter how tall the defense tower we have,
It doesn’t work!”
Linna walked next to him and comforted softly: "Isn't there another letter? Please open it and read it. Maybe something unexpected and good will happen."
Werther hurriedly opened Nickles' letter. He saw that it read:
Your Highness, I am Niklos, the commander of the bodyguards. I have something very important to tell you here. After the king read your letter, and with the persuasion of Maier and me, he originally agreed to lend you troops. But this
The matter was blocked by Duke Dake. The king listened to Duke Dake and
Jue's slander, I don't believe your words.
But I believe in you. The vampires are about to attack. As the commander of the guards of Notland, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing. Without the king's order, I cannot lend you troops, but I know there are other ways to lend troops.
Many years ago, there was a mysterious hidden weapon workshop in the country of Notland. The owner of the workshop was a very powerful man, and he befriended many lords. I heard that the owner of the workshop once saved the life of a certain lord. This lord was handed over to the owner of the workshop.
A token, upon seeing this, the lord will help.
If you can find a way to find this token, you may be able to borrow soldiers from that lord. I wish you good luck, Your Highness.
After reading the letter, Werther frowned and said to himself: "Could it be that the concealed weapon workshop is where Aunt Sunny and Aunt Sanna used to work? The owner they mentioned was the owner of the workshop!"
"Witt, what are you talking about?" Lina asked curiously.
"The commander of the guards sent me a letter specifically to tell me another way to borrow troops."
Then, Werther told Lina the contents of the letter.
"There is such a thing." Lina said in surprise.
"But who will be the lord who handed over the token to the workshop owner? There are ten lords in the country of Notland, and I only know of one, Duke Duke." Witte suddenly showed a horrified expression, "Could this person be Duke Duke?
.”
"The probability is too low. Duke Dark doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing. You should go and ask the two aunties and you should have clues."
"That's right, now I have to go find Aunt Shani first." At this time, Werther was once again filled with hope.
Lina saw Werther's energetic look at the moment and cast an admiring look at him, but she also showed a worried expression: "Why don't you take a nap first? It would be bad if you faint on the road."
Werther lowered his head slightly, focused his eyes on the envelope, and said seriously: "I can use magic to get to Aunt Shani's house in an instant. I am now able to use this magic skillfully, and it shouldn't use up too much energy. If you are worried
Me, why not come with me."
"Then I'll go with you. I'll get my hat first." Linna quickly went downstairs.
After Werther went downstairs, he found that Lina had put on her hat and came out of the bedroom.
"let's go."
They arrived outside the castle and chose a deserted place. Werther used teleportation magic to bring them to the door of Sunny's house.
He knocked on Shani's door.
Shanni opened the door and showed a surprised expression: "It's the lord who is coming to my house as a guest! He also brought a beautiful girl with him."
Her face looked rosy, and although she was poor, she looked happy.
Lina smiled softly: "Hello, Aunt Shanni."
Shanni held Lina's hand with affection in her eyes: "A woman as beautiful as a rose is a perfect match for His Highness the Lord."
Lina smiled lightly, but could not hide her shyness and joy.
"Aunt Shani, I have an important matter that I need your help with," Witte said.
"In that case, let's come in and talk." Shanni smiled and made an inviting gesture.
When Werther and Linna walked in, they discovered that Shanni's house was only shabby on the outside, but it was unique inside, with ornately decorated floors and ceilings, some beautiful glass vases placed on the floor and on the tables, and the tables and chairs were also of high-end style.
"So you are so rich!"
Werther exclaimed.
Shanni smiled and waved her hand: "No, Your Highness, you misunderstood. I still don't have much money, and these furnishings are all hidden weapons. After my master was killed, I brought some of the hidden weapons from the workshop and hid them in my home.
It can be regarded as a thought for the owner. These hidden weapons make this room look luxurious. You see, the other rooms are very shabby."
Werther followed the direction of Shanni's finger and took a look. Sure enough, other places looked shabby. Unexpectedly, Aunt Shanni had collected so many hidden weapons. She was really a loyal person to the owner of the workshop. What surprised Werther even more.
, it turns out that concealed weapons can also be made into floor and ceiling styles.
"By next year, everyone's life will gradually get better, believe me." Witt said.
"Of course I believe you, you are a good lord." Sunny said with a smile, "Sit down first. Sit on those two shabby chairs. The other chairs are also hidden weapons."
"Well, thank you for the reminder."
After Werther and Lina sat down, Sunny asked: "You guys are here, don't you want to ask me for concealed weapons? I can lend them to you within a reasonable range."
"No, that's not the case." Witte said, "I want to ask you whether the owner of the hidden weapon workshop ever received a token from a certain lord?"
Hearing this, Shanni immediately opened her eyes wide, took a breath, stabilized her emotions for a while, and said as calmly as possible: "Who did your Highness hear about this matter?"
Werther expected that Shani would be vigilant about this matter, so he brought the letter from the commander of the guards. He took the letter out of his pocket and told everything to Shani before handing it to her.
In the end, he did not forget to say: "In order for our Dawn Town to successfully repel the attack of the vampires, our construction of defense towers and borrowing troops must not be leaked. Please help me keep this secret."
Shanni nodded and said: "I won't tell anyone. Then show me the letter from the commander of the guards and let me confirm it, so that I can believe what you say."
Werther gave her the letter paper, and she took it and said: "Yes, it is Niklos's handwriting. My master has had several contacts with him, and it is not surprising that he has heard about his master. Niklos is a
A prudent person, since he told you this, it means he can trust you."
"I want to know where the workshop owner went after he was killed?" Werther asked.
"You don't have to look for him anymore." Shanni showed a disappointed expression, "Although we are not completely sure, there is a high probability that my master has passed away. He has not appeared for so many years."
"That's a shame."
"But don't worry, I have that token in my hand." Sunny stood up from the chair and said, "The master once said that it was useless for him to keep that token, so it is better to give it to those who really need it.
. He said, if I meet someone who is worthy of using this token, I can give it away."
An expression of surprise flashed across Werther's face: "Aunt Shanni, thank you, and thank you, your master."
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. In those days, the purpose of running our hidden weapon workshop was not only to make money, but also to maintain the peace of Notland. I gave the token to you, which is in line with the master's wishes."
Shanni quickly brought out a bag sewn with cloth: "Your Highness, the token is inside."
Werther excitedly took the bag. Although it was not big, it was heavy and felt like there was something hard inside.
