Count Gallosius stayed in Niermont for two days, delicious snowmelt iced tea and the company of old friends let him come out of the loss, the only fly in the ointment is that Zax Sharp still insisted on his opinion and refused Coulosius's invitation, which shows that revenge occupies the vast majority of seats in Zax Sharp's heart, even if Colosius tries his best to speak.

Outside the Niermont, three horsemen were side-by-side, and behind them were caravan men and Yafen attendants who were ready to go, and the occasional chatter and laughter seemed a little desolate in the embrace of the White Snow Mountain.

"I am very grateful to Zax Sharp for your noble character and gracious invitation. But until the Sharp family's feud is returned, I won't move from here. Zax smiled wryly at Cullosius, who was riding on White's snow, "I know this will give our Sharpe family some influence on your smuggling trade for the time being. ”

"Isn't fair competition, and my willingness to serve under this red-faced accountant for a common goal? Therefore, I understand very well, Your Excellency. It's not too far from Sharpling, and from Niermont, northwest around the foothills of the White Mountains, is Al Heli Nonansen. Geographically speaking, this place is remote and secluded enough, coupled with the protection of the sovereign, there is no doubt that this will also be a trading paradise, Your Excellency wants to make this the second loophole in Segal II's money bag, and I will fully support it! It's a big deal that there is some smuggling work, but no matter how fat a person is, he only has so much food a day. "The one-eyed dragon Arno was very open-minded, he slapped the top of his shining head and turned his head to point to the northwest side of the White Snow Mountain behind him, and opened a road at the foot of the mountain to Al Heili Noronsen, and tied a knot in the trees along the way, and smugglers like us would understand!"

"The one-eyed dragon's thoughts are really frank. Don't worry, what I secretly tear will only be Segal II's money bag, just like you said. Our relationship will continue to be the same. Zax slammed Arno's elbow, "An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the Sharp family hasn't died yet." There were a lot of gold coins in the treasury, and all that was left for Segal II was an empty house and a well-organized Sharp House. ”

It was about a dozen miles away from Neermont, and the surrounding mountains stretched to the northeast and southeast respectively, and suddenly an open plain appeared in front of him, and the heaven and earth in the distance merged into a line, and the white sky was full of cold light.

"Send me here, Lord Baron." Kurosius reined in the reins, and although he was reluctant to give up, he had to part in the end, "It's time to go back to Yafen to take care of things." I must have piled up a mountain of papers on my desk. ”

"Niermont is always open for you, Cullosius!" Zaxzer stepped forward and gave Culosius a deep hug.

"A little reluctant, but helpless, who told me to have to ship this shipment to Burenin, and then sort it and sell it to Shanyan Pass. Otherwise, I'd love to stay for a few days, it's like home. Hopefully, this Niermont will become the second Murred of Sharp Mountain. Arno threw off the reins of his horse and stretched out his hands.

"Definitely. And it will be in the not-too-distant future. The three horsemen gathered, and Coulosius and Zax, like Arno, clasped their outstretched hands together in pairs, "May our future always be as strong as the hands clasped today." ”

A golden smile slowly appeared in the sky, and the three horsemen led their teams in three different directions, looking back at each other from time to time and waving until they could no longer see each other.

"Yo, it looks like the lord is going to get drenched in the rain." Arno, who was escorting the goods to the northeast, looked at the eastern horizon, and a thick cloud had drifted in the direction of Yafen.

"Can the weather change a little more?" Kurosius frowned and muttered, he turned to the riding attendant behind him, "It's going to rain soon, hurry up and find a place to take shelter." ”

"The golden morning sun may bring us good luck, we have to work harder Zax Sharp!" Zax, who didn't look back, galloped on horseback, and the golden light that shot out the white snow mountain in front of him shone like a golden light, he didn't notice the dark clouds in the direction of Yafen, he only noticed the imagination in his heart.

In late autumn, only the coniferous forests are still green, such as the occasional maple, cypress, and oak tree, all of which have dead leaves, and only bare trunks remain after this late autumn rain.

Earl Colossius rode on the white snow, stepping on the mud all over the ground like a chicken in the soup back to Yafenburg, he wanted to take a time to go to the private dormitory after taking a bath to usher in a moment of peace, but when he was passing through the study, he turned his head and looked at the desk, which was indeed full of business documents that had not been dealt with for more than ten days, as he expected.

"Bang." Kulosius, who turned his head to look at the desk in the study, didn't notice the oncoming hurrier, and the two who went straight forward collided head-on.

"Ahh Lord! I'm looking for you. The courtier, who was crashing into Culosius head-on, was a little frightened, and hurriedly supported Culosius.

"Looks like you're not giving me a chance to rest at all! Mart, did you know that I quietly went back to the dorm room to avoid you annoying fellow? Cullosius frowned, but even then, the look of anger on his red face could not be revealed.

"My lord, the courtiers have no intention of giving you any chance to rest." Mart shrugged helplessly, the former chief of the army who had been made a nobleman by Walker Easttem was now an important courtier in Affenburg, "Hearing that you and your attendants have returned safely, the nobles have begun to clamoring to see you and make some necessary decisions. ”

"Ah, Matt Wilder, can't you take care of these things?" Culosius let out a long sigh and pointed to his butt, "From Yafen to Entle, from Entre to Niermont, and from Niermont back to Yafen, plus a heavy rainstorm, all that adds up to nearly a thousand miles of horseback riding has made my ass almost blistered!" ”

"I'm sorry for you, my lord. But I've already dealt with some matters within my scope of responsibility, but there are some matters involving sensitive topics that I can't solve, and the ones that are piled up on your desk may be all of them. Mart pointed to the desk in the study, and looked aggrievedly at his pitiful-looking lord.

"If there's a hole in the ground, I'd like to get into it myself, and then stone it so you can stop before my eyes for days. What the hell! I'm going to see what the hell is going on or what kind of dispute it is, and I'm going to get the disgusting paperwork down there. I'll be there right away from changing my clothes. Culotius had to give up the idea of resting for a while, and he danced and stuck out his tongue at Mart and grimaced, as if it were a vent of fatigue, and Mart only pretended not to see it, knowing that his lord, His Excellency Culosius, Count of Jafin, had always been relieved in this way.

On the first floor of the castle of Yafen, the courtiers of the county of Yafen were arranged in two rows on the left and right under the steps of the earl's silver chair, standing on both sides to welcome the returning Count Colossius. Most of these courtiers were new faces, and there were far more of them than they had been two years earlier, and many of them had benefited from the New Law of Lawrence of Jarfen, and had become the new nobility of Jarfen by earning large quantities of grain and gold through hard work in cultivating land or conducting trade. The other part is the elite warriors who trained hard in the training ground of the Javenrien military camp and finally came to prominence, and became one of the few knights in the Buffalo Fort under the edict of Culosius, but they were only weapons of war, and their only duty was to act as the face of the Buffalo and faithfully carry out the military orders issued by the Count.

Count Coulosius, who had changed his outfit, finally walked to the first floor of the castle in anticipation, the gorgeous aristocratic dress made him look radiant, the round silver ring on his head was in stark contrast to his red face, and the Yafen oblique striped cloak behind him was a little too eye-catching, and the white and brown lines made people can't help but think of the red-faced male zebra swimming by Lake Raif, and behind him was the Yafen important minister Mart holding a large stack of papers.

Under the gaze of the courtiers, Kulosius flicked his cloak with full aura and quickly sat down, and his eyes flickered slightly the moment he sat down.

"Lord, welcome back, I am Reke Bechel, the lord of the newly cultivated fields south of Lake Raff, Newfam Manor. I lost a red-faced male zebra the other day. The shepherds on my farm rely on it to sow seeds! Without waiting for Culosius to speak, the red-nosed nobleman, who was almost standing at the end of the courtiers' ranks, ran out of the courtiers' team without a clue.

"Hahahaha." All the courtiers laughed in unison after looking at the cloak of Culosius.

"Give me peace! Doesn't that sound funny? Culosius coughed red-faced, then put on a mask-like face, and asked the reckless courtier, "Please, to the point." My time isn't spent dealing with your stolen zebras, or your mares in heat. ”

The courtiers' faces were extremely distorted, and they all lowered their heads.

"We caught the thief at the Black Dragon Inn in Jarfenburg, and that nasty fellow killed my red-faced male zebra and sold the horse's meat and fur. Lord Mart said I could get him to pay the ransom. But the guy didn't have the money to pay it back, so according to the ancient criminal law of Yafen, this guy would be executed. His Excellency Kmart said that your consent is required to carry out the death penalty! The red-nosed courtier named Lake Beecher let out a roar that sounded worse than the real condemned prisoners before they died.

"If you don't have a stallion, you can buy another one, I think it's such a simple question, Matt, can't you make a decision immediately? My little heart is really going to be burst open by your anger. Colossius glared at Mart standing beside him.

"My lord, because the voice of this demand for execution comes from our nobles, and this horse thief is just a wanderer from a foreign land." Mart's words revealed his bitterness, "If I don't pay attention to this matter, you may inadvertently offend these new nobles." ”

"Haven't you memorized the New Law of Jarfen Lawrence? We are now in dire need of conscription, and this poor poor man has been put to death for stealing a stallion, so I feel that I should expel you from my court for dereliction of duty. Mart, you're not the slightest bit of a fool in this matter! The intense training day and night made this guy deeply understand that his own theft was wrong. Kurosius snorted at Mart, almost puffing out two puffs of white smoke from his nostrils, and then he looked at the up-and-coming nobleman who had stolen the stallion with pity, "I understand the anger in your heart, this thief will be sent to the Jaffenrien camp to be closely guarded, and you will be compensated for the salary he was forcibly recruited as a regular levy. Under the New Law of Affin Lawrence, I cannot arbitrarily consent to the execution of the death penalty. Step aside. ”

Although he was unwilling, the earl's decision could not be changed, and the red-nosed nobleman had to retreat, at least he thought that he could slowly get compensation.
