Finally, the queen's reward came. A carriage full of gold, and several "loyal" guards. A carriage of gold, worth a lot of money. A rough estimate is that it is at least 10,000 gold crowns. This is equivalent to Blackhammer Castle
Three years of total income, with this money, many things can be done... Of course, this amount of money is a huge sum of money for Blackhammer Castle, but for Kislev, it is nothing more than
A drop in the bucket. Compared to the Empire, Kislev is poor, but the treasury still has some wealth.
When the reward comes, Rhodes must accept it. Compared with the Grizzly Bear Castle that he gave away, this reward is nothing. If he doesn't accept it, it will seem artificial. However, those so-called loyal guards.
Rhodes was not interested. On the contrary, based on his experience in society for more than ten years, Rhodes believed that there must be Catalina's spies among these people, either all of them, or just one. But
No matter what, these people are trouble.
Immediately following the reward was another thorny task - to find the Ghoul King's lair and eliminate it... Catalina personally issued the order, which once again left Rhodes with no choice...
The Ghoul King, the vampire. The vampire of the Strig family... One thing Rhodes can confirm now, but that is that the Snow Queen and the vampires of the Strig family are sworn enemies. Yes, vampires are also divided into families and gangs. Rhodes now
We still don’t know which vampire family Katerina belongs to. Maybe she has already established her own business as the Tsar of Kislev, which is not impossible. In Katerina’s eyes, Kislev is her territory, so she doesn’t
It is normal to allow other vampires to set foot on it.
As a result, from the beginning of the war to the present, she has not let go of any information about the Strige family vampires, and has been hunting them down without mercy. Previously, in the camp of the Northern Alliance Army, two noble young men from Kislev
The investigation into incidents of vampires hurting people is a piece of evidence.
Therefore, hunting down the vampires of the Strig family can be regarded as siding with the queen.
Rhodes knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to resist Catalina. However, the Ghoul King's lair... This was indeed an extremely dangerous mission, and the queen's motive of killing someone with a borrowed knife could not be ruled out... with the help of the Strieger family
People, come and kill yourself...
It's not impossible. This proves that she made the right decision to refuse the Queen's gift of Grizzly Bear Castle yesterday, because she has not believed in herself at all, and she has not believed that the famous Double Chosen God - Rhodes is a person who has no fight for power.
The person with the heart must make her believe... Rhodes thought to himself... As long as Catalina doesn't let go of her heart for a day, then she will never have peace. Rhodes has seen the fate of too many betrayers...
For several days, Rhodes had been thinking hard in his room at Wintermark Castle on how to find the lair of the Ghoul King of the Strig family. Katarina gave some information, but it was not comprehensive or accurate, and...
This kind of thing must not be looked for in a big way, otherwise, the vampire will have escaped long ago before the people arrive. They are dark creatures with excellent hiding ability. If necessary, a vampire of the Stryger family can hide underground without seeing the light of day.
Throughout their lives, there will be a steady stream of rats and other creatures for them to suck blood...
Finally, Rhodes thought of the Moorish cultists he met at Grizzly Bear Castle. In terms of personal combat power, they may not be the match of his brothers, but in terms of their ability to find undead creatures, the Moorish cultists are top-notch.
The title of hunter. Nightcrow hunts the dead already indicates their occupation and identity. They specialize in catching the undead and sending them to the real land of death.
…
"Are you sure you want them to join?"
In Wintermark Castle, Caroline's cold voice came from the hall behind her. She stood there, the early morning sunlight outlined her slender figure and frosty white face, casting a long shadow behind her.
.
She didn't wear a battle robe. She probably felt that the battle was over and there wouldn't be another battle in a short time, so she took off her battle robe with confidence and put on the exquisite clothes of an ordinary noble girl. Sometimes Rhodes felt that she should
Create a pair of exclusive armor for Caroline. After all, the wizards of the medieval warhammer are not completely remote casters. In fact, in most cases, combat wizards go to the front line... The reason why Caroline did not fight in the first place
The main reason is that she is not a low-level witch and is only a low-level witch. But she may be needed one day in the future.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Rhodes answered and walked into the hall from the balcony. The sun shone in and warmed the cold floor.
"It's not impossible, it's just that Moorishism is not recognized by everyone in Kislev. In fact, the majority of people reject it. If you want to fight side by side with them, it will definitely cause a lot of inconvenience. At least, what will the people do?
Treat us?"
Caroline replied worriedly.
Rhodes heard the last word clearly, it was "we", not "you". Rhodes knew that in Caroline's heart, he was already a member of this team. To be more precise,
In Caroline's eyes, Blackhammer Castle and Heidelberg are actually a close whole. Moreover, as originally agreed, Caroline accounts for a large part of the income from growing ice peppers in Blackhammer Castle. This also makes this
She has accumulated a lot of wealth in a year. You must know that this witch is not like Rhodes, who has to pay the salaries of soldiers and workers, and maintain the daily expenses of the castle. For Caroline, her income is purely earned.
At most, you should spend some money on your own magic items, personal cosmetics, and clothing. You will basically not use it for other things. After all, Heidelberg can still operate normally as long as Dad is here.
"What the people think of the Moors is not very important. What is important is whether these believers and these warriors can truly display their usefulness. At the beginning, when I hired Norscans to fight, the residents of Blackhammer Castle did not understand.
, and even responded with hostility, thinking that the Norscans were the mortal enemies of Lady Kislev. However, a few months later, I showed them the effect. Not only did these barbarians from the north not plunder our homeland, but they actually defended it.
Our castle. Killed the beastmen for Lady Kislev. If it weren't for them, Blackhammer Castle would have fallen long ago. It was me who maximized their effectiveness. Now, this Norscan warband is not only the Blackhammer.
The pride of the fort is still the elite fighting group in the Northern Alliance Army."
After Rhodes finished speaking, Caroline nodded helplessly. She could never convince him...
This man always has his reasons. Fortunately, she is not a very controlling person, otherwise, she would be pissed to death - she said to herself.
