A carriage slowly exited the east gate of the Raven Arena, and a sturdy horse followed behind the wheels. Estheu had changed into clean clothes, and sat on horseback, rubbing his right shoulder incessantly, the muscles there were still a little stiff, and it seemed that there was still a residual cold air lingering in the joints. He guessed that the sword that Gregory IV pulled out should be the legendary Ravenston's heavy weapon, the "Dragon's Tooth", also known as the "Dragon's Tooth Sword". Its first owner was the first monarch of the North, and according to legend, Archduke Gregory held this sword high and led the coalition of Northern nobles to defeat the army of Misty Mountain besieging Ryan. Over time, the hilt has been passed down through generations of Gregory family leaders, and has unwittingly become a symbol of northern kingship. There is a not-so-ancient poem circulating in the taverns of the North, which says that the existence of the Dragon's Tooth Sword was known as early as the Chaos Age, and that the God of Archers himself sealed it in a huge ice rock as a base, and only the destined king of the North was qualified to pull it out. The one who wields this sword will become the nemesis of Vijovis, invincible. Ravenclaw Gregory was originally just a hairy boy in the family, and during an adventure, the sword appeared in front of him, and Ravenclaw easily pulled it out, and the ice instantly dissolved and re-coalesced into the shape of a scabbard. At the end of his adventure, he returned to Raven City with a powerful army and was made Grand Duke - and the rest of the story was his feat. The wielder of the Dragon's Tooth Sword is orthodox in the North, and the Bard is always consciously or unconsciously playing up the mystery between it and the Gregory family, but few people pay attention to the sword itself. Eshua looked at the carriage in front of him again, and the current owner of the Dragon's Tooth Sword was sitting in it.

In the carriage, Setanda sat face to face with General William on either side of Gregory IV. The former kept pressing his chest and let out a low cough, but he had no intention of resting, but looked at Gregory IV: "Second brother, what are you going to do in the end?" With William's scheme or mine? ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Gregory IV waved his hand and looked intently at the street scene outside the carriage. The architecture of the inner city of Raven is not much different from that of the outer city, and it is still the simple and practical style of the Royal Academy, in order to save the flat space, the architects stacked the houses together, and the better the family, the higher the place to live. At the same time, it also makes the inner city look like a forest, with gray stone bricks and snow hidden in the background. Along the way, the coachman was very well-behaved and did not rush to the road, so he did not attract attention, and arrived at the palace in a low-key manner. It is said to be a royal palace, but in fact it is more like a stone fort that has been temporarily renovated and opened to the outside, and there are several huge ballistas on the pheasant moat. When Archduke Gregory declared independence from the North, he personally went to Poynbru, which was still a penal colony at the time, to invite scholars to rebuild the Raven Castle. "But Lao Tzu doesn't have much money, so you can change it according to the budget." He said so, and so did the scholars. In the most difficult days of the early days of the North, Gregory I led his guards in a desperate battle against his questioning enemies in this so-called palace. His descendants did not add any extravagant ornamentation to the brick palace. Behind the palace is the Inland Sea, and there is even a smaller royal port.

Above the main entrance of the palace hangs a withered yellow head, a faded golden and red lion crown scrawled around his head, the marshal of the Sarion army during the First Battle of the Dragon and Lion, and the father of the current Fire General, the Grand Duke of Brennus. After being cut off by Setanda on the grain route, he made a desperate attempt to take advantage of the frozen Inland Sea to attack the peninsula and seize the wealthy Shendefu as a temporary supply base, but was ambushed by Frost Alexis during the landing. This great lord and nobleman was chased like a lost dog by an unknown second son of the Alexis family, and fled all the way, and finally was beheaded under Longwei Castle. His head was cut off by the hands of the young Duke Ryan to mourn his father and brother who had died in battle at Darkfalcon. The people of Sarion only need to return to the body of the Grand Duke.

The carriage was stopped by the guards in front of the main entrance, and General Wilhelm leaned out of the carriage, waved his hand, and made the way unhindered to the inner courtyard where the members of the royal family lived. An old woman was already waiting in the courtyard. "Your Majesty, lunch is ready."

"Just in time, nurse, please get another pair of clean cutlery for the maid, and I'm going to have lunch with a young baron, this one, and his name is Baranduke." He looked at Eshyus, "This is my butler, Lana Godd, and my wet nurse when I was a child. ”

Estheu glanced at the old woman, housekeepers were actually rare in the realm of nobles, especially an elderly housekeeper. The old woman didn't react to Estheau's gaze, just nodded rigidly and turned away. Although her waist is rickety, she still walks steadily, and the stacks of keychains behind her waist collide with her hips with her steps, making a dense sound. "I'm sweaty now, so I'm going to wash my body first." Setanda said.

"Hurry up." Gregory IV said, and then he looked at Estheus: "Baron, your wounds are not in the way, are they?" After all—" He pointed to Essho's right shoulder, which had been pierced by Setanda with a wooden spear not long ago. He suddenly remembered that it was obviously a very serious injury, but Eshu's movements were completely unaffected, and it was also very tightly bandaged, and there was no blood oozing from his newly changed clothes.

"It's fine." Esthew replied.

"Great, please follow me and take a seat." Gregory IV reached out and patted Estheu's shoulder, observing the change in the other man's face. To his surprise, the thickness of the bandage was not felt in the palm of his hand. "William, come on." He made a covert gesture. General William understood the meaning of this gesture, he walked up to Gregory IV, walked side by side with him, and opened his mouth to make an inquiring gesture: What's the matter, Your Majesty?

How bad was the wound on Baranduk's shoulder when you left the pitch before? Gregory IV likewise responded with a lip service.

Wounds? General William was stunned for a moment, what wound?

Sertanda had stabbed him in the shoulder, but Baranduk didn't seem to be affected.

I didn't pay attention. But Your Majesty, is it a little late for you to think about it now?

Yes, I'm glad the Dragon's Tooth Sword didn't freeze his blood. Did he take care of his wounds before he followed you up to me?

No.

Is it...... Gregory IV nodded thoughtfully.
