Varrel was in a depressed mood and looked tired. The dinner party did not eliminate the fatigue of the military for the past few days. On the contrary, such occasions were usually just for fun, smiling in front of others, but everyone had their own thoughts. He had been observing Dean, that
The young new owner of the Iron Ring Castle seems to be a boastful young man, with nothing but a pretty face. Even he can win rewards, but he has nothing.
This made him very unhappy. Almost all of Heidelberg's troops were dispatched, just to win the queen's favor. However, the aloof Ice Queen seemed to have no regard for him at all. But when you think about it, it is not surprising that Heidelberg dispatched all its troops.
, but only a few hundred people, while the lords of some big towns have an army of thousands of people. And they are well-equipped. Naturally, it is difficult for the Queen to take notice of their own manpower and combat effectiveness.
Anyway, whoever makes his territory small has no other source of additional income except to get some money and water from the people. However, there is news from the territory that sounds good. The people who repaired here from Black Hammer Castle
The trade road has been completed, which will greatly increase trade and economic exchanges between the two places. It is also a good thing for Heidelberg. Looking back at the time, I was still laughing at Rhodes for not overestimating his capabilities. Road construction requires a lot of funds. Where did he come from?
In terms of funds, Blackhammer Castle is even more remote than Heidelberg. But Rhodes next door did it. Two years ago, he trained a group of elite Norscan mercenaries with war and war, and also accumulated a lot of assets for himself.
.Moreover, this time I was awarded a reward by the Snow Queen, and my title and territory were much larger than mine.
Thinking about the Rhodes who clung to his ancestral business three years ago, and then looking at the current Rhodes, Varrel couldn't help but sigh a little, what made a person change so much? Is it just because of the invasion of the beastmen? It inspired his potential.
?This is unknown.
Caroline didn't know when she came in from the door. She was wearing a pure blue cashmere cloak, and her face looked much better than when she first came here. As soon as she came in, she walked behind him and massaged her shoulders.
Generally speaking, at this time, my daughter always has something to ask of herself. But it was different today. Caroline remained silent and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Is the injury feeling better?"
Enjoying his daughter's rare well-behaved manner, Varrel closed his eyes and asked with concern.
"It's almost done. The scar is just there, it's ugly."
"I have a friend who runs a medicine business in the empire. I remember that he has a kind of ointment that can remove scars. After this rebellion is over, I will ask him to bring you some. Rhodes has a ship on hand, and he can also pass through
He imports a little bit. By the way, Rhodes also knows this person."
"Really? That sounds good."
Caroline smiled happily.
"Oh, in the past year, you and Rod have spent much more time together than your father. You really shouldn't be like this."
Varrel began to complain about Caroline. His daughter had been pampered since she was a child, and after she returned from studying at the Kislev Magic Academy, no one could control her.
"I'm back now..."
Caroline is so spoiled.
"It's rare that our father and daughter are reunited like this today. Alas, if your mother were still alive, she would be relieved to see us like this."
"Don't mention mother..."
Caroline interrupted him. Her voice was cold and stern.
"Okay... I won't mention it, I won't mention it..." Varrel said quickly, "But you and Rhodes have been together for a long time. I know Rhodes. He is a talented, smart, and brave person.
, smooth and lucky. But I can’t guarantee that his luck will continue to be good. I heard that you almost died in the dungeon outside..."
"Who did you listen to?"
Caroline interrupted him again.
"There is always someone in your group who is loose-spoken and likes to brag. It's not difficult to find out something."
Varrel hummed.
"It must be that dwarf!"
Caroline gritted her teeth and looked sullen.
"Don't worry about who said it, is it true?"
Caroline nodded helplessly.
"So, you should stay with me more. Things like war are men's business, and you should participate less. All kinds of ice peppers are good, and girls should be like that..."
"alright……"
Caroline impatiently interrupted her father again. Varrel shook his head, this is his daughter...
"As for that Rhodes, it's not that you are not allowed to have contact with him, but you have done enough for him. I have never seen you go through life and death for me..."
Varrel complained.
"Why do you keep mentioning him..."
Caroline said pretending not to care.
"Come on, let us father and daughter have a heart-to-heart talk. What do you think of Rhodes?"
Varrel laughed. Over the past two years, Caroline and Rhodes have gotten closer and closer, talking intimately. As a father, Varrel has seen the changes in his daughter. At the same time, he also knows very well about Caroline.
What is he thinking in his mind? The arrogant and cold Frost Witch will not get close to anyone unless this person is the person she likes. In the past, he would never agree to this matter, but it is different now, Luo
Rhodes has transformed into the Earl of Blackhammer Castle. His fiefdom is several times larger than before, he has received a large reward, and he also has an elite army loyal to him. Now Rhodes is no longer the impoverished Rhodes two years ago.
Damn it. It seems like a good thing if Caroline is with him.
"How about what?"
Caroline asked pretending to be stupid.
"Stop pretending, let me talk to you about business. Rhodes is a good person. Apart from being a little older and a little more adventurous, everything else is good."
"You said before that he couldn't come."
"That was because I had a misunderstanding about him before. Now it's better. The misunderstanding has been eliminated..."
Varrel said with a smile.
"Then what? What do you want to say?"
Caroline lowered her head and asked pretending to be casual.
"What I want to say is that you are not young anymore. It's time to consider..."
"What to consider? Is there anything to consider? I haven't had enough fun yet..."
"You are the Frost Wizard, my daughter, when will you mature? How can there be a witch wandering around and playing outside? The Snow Queen just doesn't pay attention to you. If she pays more attention to you, you can travel around like this unscrupulously?
Alas, you are really old. Some of those aristocratic girls have given birth to several children by your age. My dear daughter, there are some things that you have to face. You have to face them sooner or later anyway, so why not face them earlier?
