"Invitations? The Harriman family? ”

In the council hall, Modrian gently opened the golden invitation in his hand, inviting him to a noble gathering in the city of Edalas, and the lower right corner of the invitation was printed with a faint golden leaf, which was the noble coat of arms from the Harriman family.

"Bazel, who gave Cooper the invitation?" Modrian's tone was calm, but not majestic.

"Master Modrian, it was the Manan garrison of Irvendale that handed it to Captain Cooper, saying that it would be delivered to you as soon as possible." Bazel Harlan lowered his head and said respectfully, from Perris Castle to the current Fort Digvo, he was full of respect and admiration for Young Master Modrian from the bottom of his heart, not only him, but basically all the knight apprentices who followed him at the beginning.

"Manan Jerome is behind Uncle Benny, so it seems that this invitation is indeed from the Harriman family." Modrian looked down at the golden leaves again, his right hand rubbing the coat of arms belonging to the Harriman family.

Who is the most powerful man in Edalas City? Most people in the northern part of the kingdom have a name in their minds.

Count Raphael Betty Harriman, the lord of the city of Edalas, has been in control of the city for forty years, and his most brilliant performance is that during the ten years of the Great Patriotic War, he never interrupted the supply of supplies to the Gate of Sorrow, and made an indelible contribution to the final victory of the war.

There was an anecdote among the high society of the Kingdom of Stoke that Count Raphael was the richest man in the kingdom, and even the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to ask of him.

The city of Edalas, the shining pearl of the Silver Pine Province and the [Golden Crossroads] of the Stoke Kingdom, brought great wealth to the Harriman family and Count Raphael.

"But why did you invite me?" Modrian's heart was full of puzzlement, he was only the second son of the Perris family, an unpopular mediocre aristocratic young master, could it be that he had received the attention of the city of Edalas because of the elimination of the wolf thief Jackdaw?

I hope there will be no accidents at this gathering of nobles in the city of Edalas. Modrian rubbed his temples and thought tiredly, after all, the matter in front of the Lemmor Mountains had not yet been resolved.

"Is there anything else to report from Cooper?" Modrian took one look at Bazel, then saw that he was looking at Gregory and Crane and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's okay, if you have anything to say, they are all close people."

"Yes, Master Modrian." Bazel said with a little embarrassment, and then took out a beautiful and luxurious brocade box from his bosom. "This is what Captain Cooper wants me to give to you personally."

Opening the brocade box casually, Modrian's smile suddenly froze, and then laughed: "Hahaha, yes, yes, Cooper did a good job." ”

On the red silk cloth lie quietly six monster crystal nuclei of different colors and shapes, shining in the morning light, how eye-catching.

"Bazel, how did Cooper collect so many monster crystal nuclei?" Modrian immediately asked suspiciously, he knew that Cooper didn't have many golden shields, and it was possible to collect one or two, but six was not enough.

"These are the spoils of war from the annexation of the underground forces in the town of Irwindal." Bazel replied.

Modrian nodded silently, and said in his heart: I see, the town of Irwindale is the town closest to the Lenwall Mountains, and it is not surprising that someone has taken luck to obtain the monster crystal nucleus.

"Bazel, thank you Cooper for helping me when I get back to Irwindale, no surprise, I'll be to Evendale in three days."

"Yes, Master Modrian."

The winter sun is always mixed with a little coolness, but today is different, and the warm glow is sprinkled on the Digwo Fort halfway up the mountain, and the slightest tiredness is entangled.

Modrian walked on the bluestone avenue, behind him Gregory and Crane followed suit, in the days after returning, he spent most of his time in the main castle bedroom to recuperate, the trauma is not worth mentioning, relying on his own physical fitness and medicine has long healed, more in the cultivation of the mind, the after-effects of the black mist always exist.

With a relaxed attitude, Modrian walked in the fort, and I have to say that the architectural style of Noxus is really the same, the style on both sides of the road is almost solemn and heavy, and there is no other difference, of course, its excellent defensive performance also makes him breathtaking.

Along the way, they met a lot of Noxian Imperial cavalry who were either patrolling, busy, or returning from reconnaissance, and they would always salute, which was caused by the strict laws of the Noxian Empire, but in the preliminarily built Fort Dig, it still seemed a little lonely and lacked some popularity.

On top of the thick and solid city walls, Modrian looked out at the ice and snow in the distance, his casual civilian clothes tumbling and flying in the wind, and the Levor Mountains as far as the eye could see looked like a sleeping prehistoric beast, the previous riot was just a small temper tantrum.

"Exploring? What I want is conquest! Modryen's brown eyes reflected the snow-covered mountains, and a low murmur passed away in the wind.

......................

In the town of Irwindal, at the tall city gate, a group of city guards in tin armor were standing guard boringly, there was not much traffic, most of the people came in and out, and there was no need to check.

"Captain, I heard that there was a beast tide riot in the Lenwall Mountains a few days ago, killing and injuring a lot of people, do you have any specific news to be revealed?" A city guard asked, the iron helmet strapping diagonally over his head, a little funny.

"There is no news yet, and there is no order from Lord Manan." Gna shook his head and said, then he frowned at the city guards beside him. "Bill, if you don't want to be a city defender sooner, I'll arrange for someone else to come in."

"Don't, don't, captain, my good captain, I'm still counting on my monthly salary." Bill hurriedly straightened his iron helmet and begged for mercy, as if he saw that Gnar did not pursue it, and returned to his old appearance. "Captain, you know, if the woman of my family knows that I have lost my position in the city defense army, she will definitely break my third leg!"

"Hahaha, Bill, isn't your third leg broken yet? Have you said four times this month, or five? I don't know who is coaxing in the scattered city defense army, and everyone instantly laughs.

"Yes, yes, your tigress is not good, wow, do you want my brother to practice a few times, and promise to break your third leg in the future."

"Hahaha, Bill, if you don't mind, I can go and help, just next week I'll take a turn off!"

Gna shook his head helplessly when he heard this, as a veteran of the kingdom, he looked down on these lazy guys very much, but there was no way, under the glory of peace, it was good to be able to recruit soldiers, and more young people with aspirations would choose to become mercenaries and explore the wonderful world outside, rather than being willing to live in peace.

"Huh?" Gna looked down at the ground, and he seemed to vaguely feel the earth trembling, and so on, this feeling, yes....... Damn it, it's a war horse!

Gna Huoran looked up into the distance, a black cavalry team was rapidly approaching the city gate, pitch-black armor, red war horses, and the memory of half a month ago was rolling in his mind.

"It's them, the ones who killed the wolf thieves and jackdaws!"

"Rough, hurry up and pull away from the rejection, you lazy guys, hurry up and move." Gna began to scold the slow-moving city defenders, he didn't want to offend these murderous guys, and the bloody battlefield image like a scarlet hell in his memory has not disappeared until now.
