She patted Werther on the shoulder and said softly: "Werter, wake up quickly. I called the carriage. Let's get in."
"The carriage!" Werther woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and yawned again, "Great, let's get in the carriage quickly. This will save a lot of energy."
They struggled with their tired bodies and finally got on the carriage.
The carriage was very large inside, exuding a faint aroma of apples, the seats were soft, and there were cushions on the back that you could lean on.
Werther and Lina looked at each other happily and seemed very satisfied with the carriage.
"We can have a good rest in the carriage."
"Yes, the woman just said that if everything goes well, we will arrive at Duke Willy's castle at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and we can sleep on the carriage."
"Thank you for being here, Lina."
"Sigh, I really wonder when you will be able to overcome all the side effects of magic."
"If I use it a few more times, I won't be so tired."
Werther's upper and lower eyelids had already begun to fight. As soon as he finished saying this, he fell asleep again. Lina tied the rope on the cloak for him, then leaned on the cushion, and fell asleep soon after.
The carriage rarely bumped along the way, and they slept peacefully, except for Lina who woke up twice.
"Sir, madam, we have arrived at the castle." The coachman knocked on the carriage door and said loudly.
Both Werther and Lina woke up and stretched themselves.
"I feel like my physical strength has been restored." Werther happily bent his arms, and the familiar feeling of strength appeared again.
"I'm full of energy now." Linna happily opened the car door and jumped out.
Werther also got out of the car. He saw the clock tower in the distance. It was four o'clock now. It was not too late. Maybe there was still time to ask for Duke Willy, he thought.
"Thank you to the guests for using our carriage, and you are welcome to continue using it next time."
"Thank you."
The carriage gradually moved away, and Werther and Lina also walked towards the gate.
They are several hundred meters away from the castle. From a distance, this castle is completely different from the castle in Daybreak Town. It is built on a flat land, with an area that is half the size of the palace, and the walls are off-white.
, the roof is brown, and there is a ring of walls. The level of luxury is even comparable to the royal palace in Frank City.
There are many pine trees near the castle. There is some snow on the pine trees, and there is also some unmelted snow and ice on the road in front. From a distance, it looks like a very pleasing landscape painting.
"Ah, I understand." Werther pointed his right index finger upwards and said in realization.
"What do you know?" Lina looked at him curiously.
"I suddenly thought about why I dreamed of falling into an ice cellar on the carriage just now. It was because it had snowed here."
"Huh? Is there any connection between the two?" Lina was so surprised by his words that she almost fell down.
"It is said that after it snows, the surrounding air will become colder~ It was because I felt cold that I had that dream." Werther wrapped his cloak tightly.
"So that's it." Lina's eyes showed curiosity.
"I also felt something very strange." Witte looked around, "I remember that the booklet in my study clearly stated that most people in Willy City have light yellow hair and light blue or light eyes.
Light purple. But I discovered that there are people with white, beige, and light red hair in Willy City, and people with light green, amber, and light gray eyes."
"Maybe the description in the brochure is incomplete."
Lina recalled that the woman next to the stable had beige hair and light green eyes, and the coachman had light yellow hair and light gray eyes.
"If it snows, they will look dreamy against the snowy scenery," Lina said softly.
"Who are you talking about?" Werther asked.
"Of course I'm talking about people from Willy City."
"Well, is that so?"
In fact, in Werther's eyes, once it snows, people in this world look a bit dreamy, whether they have dark or light hair and eyes.
As they were talking, they walked to the front of the castle wall. The door of the wall was several times larger than the gate of Dawn Town Castle, and there were sixteen guards guarding it. The guards were wearing silver armor and holding spears in their hands. They looked very special.
prestige.
What a big door! There are so many guards next to it! This was the first thought that popped into Werther's mind. Werther thought about his castle. The paint on the old door had been wiped off, and there were no guards.
Usually it was Tom and Wil who opened the door.
"Hmm..." Werther looked at the scene in front of him enviously.
At this time, two guards walked over to them and asked in a calm tone: "Sir, Madam, what can I do for you?"
Werther also replied in a calm tone: "I'm here to see Duke Willy."
"Looking at your dress, you should be a noble. Please tell me your surname and let me report it to the Duke."
"My surname is Claude..."
Before Werther finished speaking, the guard said in surprise: "It turns out you are from the royal family! We didn't salute you just now. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Don't worry about it, haha~"
"And who exactly are you in the royal family? The king's nephew?"
"I am the lord of Daybreak Town. Please go and report to Duke Willy."
"Lord of Daybreak Town, then you are His Highness the Great Prince! You are also the grandson of Duke Majik!" The guard's expression became even more surprised, and his eyes showed great respect.
"Yes, it's me." Werther felt a little flattered by being asked. It seemed that he had a pretty good reputation in Willy City. Perhaps it could also be said that Duke Majik had a good reputation in Willy City.
Unexpectedly, the guard said again: "However, Your Highness, Duke Willy doesn't know you, so he probably won't come out to see you in person. I don't know if you have brought a token, so I'll give it to Willie with your token."
Everything the Duke said was brought to him."
Werther took out the elk stone sculpture that Shanni gave him from his clothes and said, "This is the token. Please help me tell the Duke that this token was given to me by Ms. Shanni who used to work in the concealed weapon workshop. I want to tell Wei Wei
Duke Leigh requested to borrow troops, preferably a thousand soldiers. The matter of borrowing troops is very secret, I hope Duke Willie can keep it a secret for me."
The guard nodded: "I understand, Your Highness the Prince, although I am not sure whether the Duke will agree to you, but I will tell him everything you said."
"Thank you."
"Wait for my news, His Royal Highness."
However, after the guard took a few steps inside, he stretched out his hand to scratch his head, then came back and looked at Werther in confusion.
"Who are you, and what you just said, I will forget it when the wind blows. Otherwise, you can write it down on paper."
"Huh?" Werther was surprised by his words and fell to the ground.
He stood up and covered his nose and said, "I didn't bring any paper. Do you have any paper there?"
The guard suddenly thought of something: "Ah, I remembered. Because I was worried that I would forget what the visitor said, I brought some banknotes. Please wait a moment."
He ran to the foot of the wall not far away, opened the package there, and took out the paper, quill, ink and wooden board. He ran over again, dragging the wooden board in his hand, and put the paper and ink bottle on the wooden board.
superior.
"You may write now, sir."
What a serious guard, Werther couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After he finished writing, the guard put everything except the paper away, and then walked inside with the paper.
Werther and Lina began to wait outside. Another guard brought chairs for them.
"Well, that's really thoughtful." Werther sat down.
"Your Highness, you can wait slowly," the guard said.
The sky was getting less bright. Werther looked up at his watch and saw that it was already half past five.
"It's almost dusk, the guards should be coming out soon," Lina said.
"Well, maybe." Werther looked towards the inside of the castle and saw a figure in armor walking towards the outside.
They gradually saw the face of the man, who was the guard just now.
The guard held the letter in his hand and looked very happy. He said to Werther in a joyful tone: "Your Highness, Duke Willy said that although he didn't know the specific reason why you borrowed troops, he believed that Sunny was familiar with hidden weapons.
Due to the loyalty of the workshop owner, the person Sunny chooses to help must also be the person the hidden weapon workshop owner hopes to help, so the Duke agreed to your request for troops."
"Great!" Werther and Lina looked at each other, their happiness was beyond words.
"Also, the Duke asked me to give you this letter." The guard continued, "He was worried that I would forget what he said, so he wrote what he wanted to tell you on it."
Werther took the letter and said, "Thank you so much. I don't know how to express my feelings right now."
"The Duke said that you can go back after reading his letter and making sure that nothing happens. You can read it now."
"I see."
Werther and Lina looked at it. The first content was similar to what the guard said, but the last line shocked him greatly:
Witte, I know that the owner of the hidden weapon workshop was killed, and he may not need this token anymore, so it is understandable for Shanni to give the token to you. I believe in Shanni's judgment, and even more trust in her loyalty, so I agreed to lend troops to
You, I know that your borrowing of troops needs to be kept secret. When you confirm the time, remember to write to me in advance, and I will arrange for the soldiers to quietly go to Dawn Town.
I will give you another five hundred gold coins. You can use it.
"There are also gold coins!" Werther looked at the guard in surprise, "Do you remember where the gold coins are?"
The guard scratched his head, suddenly remembered something, and said: "I forgot to take it from the Duke's table. You wait for me, I will get the gold coins for you now."
Werther felt as if his heart had jumped into his throat. He was excited and nervous at the moment. That was five hundred gold coins. With this money, he would not have to worry about the workers' wages and construction materials, and there might be some leftover.
After a while, the guard came over with gold coins.
"Your Highness, this is for you."
"Thank you. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Duke."
