It was already evening when we arrived at the Gray Rock Castle. The setting sun cast a faint afterglow through the spire above the tower, and the whole town was shrouded in fiery red.
Lord Benedick of Grizzly Bear Castle did not receive Rhodes immediately. According to the attendant, Lord Benedick planned to receive the envoy from the north tomorrow morning.
"Have you reported Rhode's identity to your lord?"
Lawrence questioned Benedick's attendant behind him, but from the attendant's firm eyes, everyone got a positive answer.
"Yes, our lords know that the Chosen Bear God Erson, the Chosen Thunder God Thor, and the Lord of Blackhammer Castle, Baron Rod Lawn."
Benedick's attendant answered seriously and respectfully.
Reluctantly, Lawrence and Tarynham stopped pursuing it. Bogul, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He didn't care about his honorific title or identity in human society. As long as he was with whomever there was a fight, he would be willing to fight with him. Of course, the premise is that
This person must be strong enough, and his opponent must be strong enough. With these two points, the butcher doesn't care whether you are a king or a beggar.
Caroline had a cold face. The Frost Witch kept in mind the arrogance of the Lord of Grizzly Bear Castle. In Caroline's eyes, this guy was originally a traitor and an enemy of the Snow Queen, her enemy.
"Forget it, now that you're here, let's settle down first. Anyway, it won't take more than one night."
Finally, Rhodes calmed everyone down.
Rhodes originally planned to go on this journey alone, but unexpectedly, these companions had developed a life-and-death relationship with him. No matter where he went alone, they were worried and had no choice but to let them follow him.
Caroline, too, came here not out of curiosity, but out of concern for Rhodes. Recalling the way he looked when he first saw her, Rhodes couldn't help feeling that even the witch was quietly changing, and she was becoming mature bit by bit.
.After experiencing so much, she no longer completely follows her temper.
At night, Rhodes leaned against the window, entered Black Hawk's body through soul linking, and observed the entire castle. This was a method taught to him by Yeskovic, and he mastered it quickly, but for now
It seems that you can only control one or two wild creatures, and any more will cause mental disorder. And Yeskovitch did not allow himself to do this. It took the old shaman twenty years to learn to communicate with all things in nature.
I don't expect Rhodes to be able to learn this skill in a short time.
At night, through the eyes of Black Hawk, Rhodes saw the entire Grizzly Bear Castle, like an eight-clawed spider lying among the hills. The Anze River flows through a steep valley and forms a bulge in the center of the river bend.
The small hills on which the main castle of Grizzly Bear Castle is built are built. Because there are rivers on both sides, the castle can have developed water transportation.
The front door is where Rhodes came in this evening. It is a long and narrow valley area, and the main entrance is built there. The entire Grizzly Bear Castle is scattered at high and low levels, forming a rare mountain town with quite a flavor. At night, sporadic firelight shines in the valley
It was like a Milky Way, with the outline of the castle in full view. This feeling was very beautiful. Rhodes could even feel the cold wind blowing around him and made a whirring sound. If it weren't for Yeskovitch's warning, he really wouldn't have wanted to go so fast.
Extracted from the body of the falcon.
Returning to reality, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a bit chilly. This was temporary physical weakness caused by the long-term soul connection, but he would recover soon.
Caroline didn't know when she appeared behind her, with sorrow written on her face. Since the war began, the young wizard is no longer as carefree as before. She is worried about her father, and at the same time, the Queen's
This approach also made her constantly have doubts. It seemed as if the faith she had held for many years and the justice she had upheld for many years were crumbling. Like Rhodes, she saw vampires working under the queen and how the army used harsh laws to exploit them.
There were so many civilians who made her feel confused and confused, just like the boundless night outside the window. Where is the real justice? Or maybe the so-called justice is just a slogan that exists among people.
Rhodes discovered that she had changed into another set of clothes just now. This was probably pajamas, because the light material of the clothes looked very soft, without the weight and solidity of the previous wizard robe. A thin velvet top covered her
With a graceful figure, like all aristocratic women, Caroline always wears low-cut tops, exposing the top of her white chest.
She would tie up her waist on important occasions, and on unimportant occasions, such as gatherings with friends and family, she would wear relatively simple clothes. Rhodes had tried to persuade her more than once not to dress so sexy, but thinking about it, this was in the aristocratic circle.
It’s hard to say much about etiquette.
After all, in this circle, there are not a few women who dress like this, and Caroline is considered quite decent. Some aristocratic women are simply seductive, just like the purple-robed woman who appeared at Aubrey's wedding banquet, who wanted to cover her whole body
The skin above and below is on display for everyone to see...
I have to say that this is the difference between women and men. Men pursue simplicity in their attire, especially those who travel for a long time. There is almost no difference between the clothes at home and outside. When going out, they put on their coats and cloaks and go indoors.
You can take off your cloak, tilt your head and fall into a deep sleep. Women are different. They pay attention to clothing, especially aristocratic women. Every time they go out, they have to dress up carefully. They have one set of clothes at home and another set of clothes outside. When they return home,
They have to change clothes immediately, and wear a special set of pajamas when sleeping... In short, it is very complicated and cumbersome. However, in their view, this is taken for granted.
"Want some wine?"
Rhodes turned around and asked.
"No, I don't like drinking. If it is not necessary for social occasions, I will never touch that thing for the rest of my life."
The witch answered. Her dark blue eyes were like the sea, blending into the boundless night, but with a hint of melancholy, which she had never seen before.
"Haha, let's have some coffee. It's a specialty from Arabi. It can help you sleep."
Rhodes said, a smile casually hanging on the corner of his mouth, always so peaceful.
"I've only heard that coffee keeps people awake."
Caroline retorted, but one hand still reached out to the bulging coffee packaging bag.
"It depends on the individual. Some people can't fall asleep after drinking coffee, while some people fall asleep with the help of coffee. Maybe you should try it. Like me, you always have trouble sleeping recently."
Rhodes smiled and continued.
"How do you know I can't sleep well?"
"Because I always fall asleep after you fall asleep."
Rod returns.
"Is it possible that you always peek at me sleeping?"
Caroline said, poking Rod's chest with her fingertips, and stared at the tall man in front of her with malicious eyes.
"Do you still need to peek? When your tent becomes quiet, I will know that you have fallen asleep."
Rhodes said with a smile, and in an instant, Caroline's face turned red...
