"Eighteen years... I really didn't expect to see you again."
It was as if old friends from previous lives were meeting each other. In front of everyone, Rhodes hugged Talinnam tightly regardless of his image. This scene really left everyone present stunned on the spot, not knowing what was going on.
"I didn't expect that, Great Lord... you are still so young..."
"But I am already old..."
Talinnam looked at his old lord and felt uneasy. If Bertol was his mentor, then Rhodes was the benefactor who rescued him from the dark world, turning him from a poor man in Kislev to
They became servants of the lord and completed the transition of their identities. More importantly, as servants of Rhodes, they shared adversity together. Although they were servants, they transcended the relationship of servants.
Now, when we meet again, my benefactor has become the master of a country, but I have experienced reincarnation and become a wanderer with no identity. Although I have the title of knight, I don’t have a fief, nor a single subject... It’s the same as before.
It was the same as when I came out of Kislev, Cumin was alone.
"Not old, just mature. You were still a young man when you left that year, and now you are an uncle like me."
Rhodes laughed and patted Talinnam on the shoulder.
When old friends meet again, their thoughts instantly drift back to that bloody, yet enthusiastic, heroic and hopeful era.
"I've heard about the changes in Kislev over the years."
"Yes... I discovered too many things after you left. I always thought you were dead, and I have spent the past ten years in self-blame. Therefore, your position has been vacant, and I have not recruited anyone in the past ten years.
A squire."
"Tell me about your experience, Talinnam. It's been eighteen years, oh, no, it's been nineteen years... It's a miracle to see you here."
Rod took Talinnam's hand and was about to walk into the tent.
Everyone was confused as they watched the two greet each other as if they were brothers, and few of the Mrs. Kisli present even recognized the name Talinnam.
"What a miracle, great lord. What I have experienced in the past ten years can be said to be a big dream."
"A journey, an absurd yet legendary experience."
"Speak slowly."
Rhodes smiled and handed Talinnam a glass of warm wine.
"That year, after we got separated, I met a knight. I later learned that he was from Bretonnia and was also a lord."
"His name is Berto..."
In the tent, Talinnam slowly recounted his bizarre experiences over the years. Rhodes listened carefully with his legs crossed.
For a moment, they even forgot the time, the current occasion, and the vampire war that was so close at hand. In the peaceful environment of the tent, they went back to the past, to the years of struggle that belonged to them.
"He will be rescued from the claws of the ghouls. In order to repay his life-saving grace and to experience myself, I chose to go on an adventure with him."
"This has been nearly twenty years."
"We went all the way south from Kislev to the Border Prince Territory, participated in the battle to exterminate the vampire pirates, and then went to Tilea and Estaria. Finally, we went north back to Bretonnia and Bertol's hometown.
, is also his territory - Gray Tree Castle."
"He is a very legendary man who has been pursuing glory and the Holy Grail all his life. He has more chivalry than many Bretonnian lords. However, it is a pity that until his death, Bertol failed to become a Knight of the Holy Grail. Guarded by
Beside the Lady of the Lake."
"He experienced the Patriotic War that mobilized the whole country, defended the king, and even rescued the previous king of Bretonnia. However, it was such a man who experienced countless bloody battles, and finally died in the remote border forest
Lord Bertol finally died in a duel with the Blood Dragon Knight. Since he had no heirs, before his death, he passed the title of lord to me..."
"I forgot to mention... I once saved the Duke of Bartonia in a life-and-death battle for the kingdom. The Lady of the Lake favored me and made me the fourth civilian knight in the history of Bretonnia. So, I have
Qualifications to inherit the territory.”
"Well...your experience is indeed legendary, even far beyond mine."
After listening to Talinnam's story, Rhodes couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There are so many ill-fated people in this world. He's not the only one.
…
"Where is the Great Lord? Where is the Dragon Conqueror? Where is the King of White Bears? Rhodes, where is Lord Rhodes? Who tells me, what is going on? We are here to find the King of White Bears in Kislev
King, who told me where he has gone now?"
Just as Rhodes was reminiscing with his old friend Talinnam, outside the tent, the dwarf leader Prince Stonehammer couldn't wait any longer. He yelled angrily. Seeing that he was the honored guest, but was being ignored, this feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
He was in an explosive state of mind and kept talking about wanting to pick out Rhodes.
Until a cold voice came from the crowd——
"You come with me, Prince Stone Hammer."
The intimidating voice of Snow Queen Dennis echoed in the air. The dwarves' eyes suddenly focused on the apparent ruler of Kislev.
Dennis turned around, and the ice guard also turned around, and the ground under his feet was instantly filled with a faint ice mist. The aura was so powerful that it instantly suppressed the rage of the dwarves present. He could only follow the queen obediently, and went
Another meeting hall.
"Tefelheim Castle?"
"I know this place. It's rich in gold."
"So you are wealthy and have your own standing army."
In the king's tent, Dennis sat on the throne in the center, looking at these uninvited guests coldly.
Her words and demeanor were so calm and cold that the dwarves could not guess what the Queen of the North was thinking.
Does she need help from outsiders? Doesn't Kislev need help and reinforcements now? But the queen's attitude...
The dwarves really couldn't figure it out, so they could only bite the bullet and start "negotiation".
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, Terfelheim Castle has a standing force of no less than three hundred people, including a musketeer array composed of professional soldiers, the Iron Wall Army, and twelve Terfelheim Fort
knight……"
"Thank you for your assistance."
Before the dwarf leader could finish speaking, Dennis coldly interrupted his boastful conversation.
"I want to know, how many people have you brought? Can you take care of the food and supplies? Also, what benefits do you want to get after helping Kislev exterminate vampires?"
Facing such a cold and domineering queen, the dwarves didn't know how to respond for a moment. The confidence they felt just now seemed more like a joke. The people opposite had already seen through everything, and they knew that this was just a deal without saying anything.
Just when everyone looked embarrassed, the old knight in shabby armor stood up. His shabby equipment, coupled with his thin body and cheeks, so that no one noticed that he was the real protagonist of the envoy...
