305. The wolf and the maiden
Things went smoothly to their surprise.
Without even saying a word, Caesar made way for the heavily guarded guards.
They walked straight through the castle gates, past what was apparently a converted plaza into a training ground, to a majestic tower.
But when they walked in, they found that the temperament inside did not match the appearance of the outside, elegant sculptures were placed in the corners, retro wall reliefs were blocked by rough mines, and oil portraits of Acura idyllic scenery were stacked like garbage.
It is clear that this castle has had at least two owners.
And the fate of the previous lord is self-evident.
The lame wolf soon appeared in front of them.
Surprisingly, the person who placed these precious works of art at random was not a wild man with informality, but an elderly gentleman who was well-groomed.
His silver hair is meticulously groomed, his close-fitting suit perfectly sets off his temperament, and his delicate monocle makes him look like an academic old gentleman.
The lame wolf leaned on his cane, and walked slowly towards them step by step:
"Sit down, kids. ”
The old nobleman sat down first, followed by Caesar opposite him, and Hola and the others sat beside Caesar in turn.
"Thank you, Lord Lamb, for your hospitality. ”
Lame Lamb waved his hand:
"You're welcome, you're welcome, but I've heard that your kingdom has been in a little trouble lately, so you still have time to visit me?"
Caesar says:
"Actually, we have something to ask for. ”
The implication of the lame wolf is already obvious, in this case, the empress still sends someone to do things, then this matter is likely to affect the war she is facing itself.
The lame wolf was about to open his mouth.
He asked leisurely:
"What can you give me. ”
Caesar says:
"Don't you ask us what we want?"
Lame Lamb laughed:
"No matter what you want, there will only be two answers, one is no, and the other is the price that you have a hard time saying yes to, but in the end you have to accept. ”
Caesar says:
"We're going up. ”
The lame wolf slowly turned the staff in his palm:
"Then what you are willing to give, I will not agree to it if it is less. ”
Caesar says:
"You're not the only one in this place who has access. ”
Lamb says:
"But I'm your best trade, and the others won't necessarily be the same price as me, and they're likely to do something irrational.
"You seem to have a choice, but you don't. ”
Caesar says:
"I'm not afraid of them. ”
Lamb let out a sneer:
"Caesar, your name must come from your father, you do look like that old fellow, I have to say, your personality is also similar, your parents hide you quite well, but I want to tell you, even if you inherit your mother's power, you can't leave this place with those behind you.
"Obviously you're not running away, it's better to run away somewhere else than to come to me, and you can't take so many people with you when you run away, so you're going to look for reinforcements, but I'll tell you that if you leave this room today, no one else will be as polite as I am.
"You may or may not survive, but these guys behind you will all die, there are not many women in this place, child, you don't have the right to choose. ”
Caesar was silent:
"You may be mistaken, I'm a lot stronger than you think, and ......"
The lame wolf stretched out his hand and interrupted Caesar:
"Powerful, no matter how strong you are, they won't duel you, they will poison, curse, and hold your followers hostage, they are much more despicable than you think.
"It's just the simplest of things, and I'm ashamed to say the vile tricks of smart people, and if you really want to leave, then you can prepare the graveyard first. ”
After speaking, the old nobleman raised his hand:
"If you're leaving, then please. ”
Caesar, of course, did not lift his legs.
Don't look at the old wolf's nice words, as if everyone else is a barbarian, and he is a civilized businessman.
But if he wants to leave before revealing his cards, he will just imprison them, and once he does, it will be difficult for him to say whether he can protect the others.
He is not a master magician, and this magical power will not surrender to his feet like an obedient hound.
Caesar suddenly asked:
"Why have the guards strengthened so much lately?"
The lame wolf wrinkled his nose:
"There were a couple of big guys moving, and it looked like they wanted to stir up some big storm together. ”
Lamb closed his eyes and was silent for a moment:
"To be precise, among the seven dukes, except for the weakest one, there are also two marquis who follow them, one of whom I know very well, is a ruthless character.
"Not weaker than me. ”
Caesar knew that when the lame wolf said this, it proved that the man must be better than him.
That's a big deal.
The lame wolf asked:
"Let's talk about the price, you may not be sure, the reason why I annoyed Wolf and survived was not the help of the weak. ”
The silver hair instantly turned into gray hair, and the old gentleman showed the sharp teeth that covered his mouth:
"It's because I've touched the threshold of legend. ”
The werewolf said.
Caesar stood up.
Blood-red lines spread rapidly across his body, instantly covering his tiny body.
"I know, Lamb, I've always known that. ”
Canine traits disappeared from Lamb's body in an instant.
He sensed a mortal threat.
Knowing that he was only one step away from the legend, he felt such a bad feeling in a boy.
Obviously, the magic of witches can't be passed on through blood, so did she make a breakthrough research in this area?
Or some kind of one-time magic item.
The old wolf smiled gently:
"The price can be negotiated again, children don't be so impulsive. ”
Caesar says:
"The price is good, in fact, we have something that will surely satisfy you. ”
Hola handed out the badge.
The old wolf turned out to be badges, and after only looking at it for a moment, he showed a shocked expression.
"Where did you get it, use this to change the channel?"
Hola said with some dissatisfaction:
"Don't change!"
Lamb looked at Caesar suspiciously.
Caesar says:
"This is the owner of the badge that I gave to this highness beside me. ”
The old wolf's pupils shrank.
Then he stood up and politely bowed slightly to Hara:
"I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess is coming, and I missed the welcome. ”
When he straightened up again, he had the kind old man's kind smile on his face.
