Chapter 128: An Invitation from the Evil Wolf Domain
Out of the center of the cracked array stepped a well-dressed young man, who looked like a noble son of 15-16 years old. He first sat on his horse and bowed slightly to the leading knights to say hello, and then rode up to the elven convoy.
"Don't panic, we don't mean anything. May I ask if this convoy is a convoy from the Elven Kingdom to the Royal Academy in the Brilliant City, with the geniuses of the Elf clan? ”
Running to the convoy, the young knight first said that he had no ill intentions, and then shouted a question to the convoy. Although he looked at the ornate carriage in the center of the convoy and already had a positive idea of his guess, he was a little cautious to be sure.
"Hello young knight, we are indeed elven students who have gone to the Brilliant City for academic exchanges. I'm Peter Etoile, and I'm currently the conductor of the team. Do you have anything to do with us? Why did you bring those mighty warriors with you? ”
Although Peter, who came from the army, was very resistant to the role of a diplomat who needed to be constantly on the look, it was impossible for Princess Lilith to come forward and ask about these things in such a situation. After giving the other party a salute with perfect elven aristocratic etiquette, Peter probed the other party's purpose without leaving a trace. After all, the other party ran in front of the convoy with such a cavalry regiment of 400-500 people, although at this time Peter was completely sure that the other party had no malicious intentions, but as the temporary leader of the entire convoy, of course the other party would have doubts about this behavior.
"I'm sorry to have frightened you. We just welcomed the distinguished guests from the elves with the most solemn courtesy, but we didn't expect it to cause inconvenience to you. I am Sir Joseph Wrenze, the eldest grandson of Count Wolf, and I have come to greet you and others on the orders of my grandfather, Earl Lucius Wrenze. ”
After listening to Peter's self-introduction, Joseph immediately dismounted, and after standing still, he returned the salute to Peter with the standard human knightly salute. And as the young man from the Wolf Earldom took the lead in saluting, the entire Wolf Knights also followed him and gave a knightly salute to the convoy.
It would be a bit too rude to see the other side act like this, and then put the convoy in a defensive formation. Peter waved his hand and ordered the teachers to rearrange the convoy into a mobile formation, and then walked to the front of the convoy to wait for the young knight's next move. Coming with such fanfare with a large group of knights, of course, it can't be just a simple hello and it will be over.
"Please wait a minute."
After confessing to Peter, the young knight, Sir Joseph, was at first slightly relieved, and then turned his head to the leader of the leading knights and began to talk to him. And Peter, who had focused on the knight, also heard the conversation between the two with the elves' natural good ears.
"Hello, a few hard times along the way. Boy Yung, can I ask a few questions? Does Your Majesty have any strict rules on the distance to the Glorious City? Is there a time limit for when the convoy will arrive in the City of Splendour? ”
"Hello, young wolf. His Majesty did not plan the journey of the convoy too much, but only instructed us to let the distinguished guests from the elves take a good tour of the big cities of our country. As for the time limit, in order to wash the dust of the convoy, His Majesty asked us to take the convoy to the Brilliant City within 50 days. After all, the Royal Academy will start in a month, and in order to allow the geniuses of the elf clan to quickly integrate into the class, the time on the road cannot be delayed for more than two months. ”
In the face of Joseph's questions, the leader of the leading knights did not have any worries and answered them carefully for him one by one. Although the knight in front of him is about the same age as his son, the eldest grandson of the Count of Evil Wolf means that this is likely to inherit the title of the Earl in the future! Faced with such a young man with a potential future, the leader of the leading knights, who is barely a knight at present, will of course choose to curry favor with him without leaving a trace. Anyway, Sheng Hui 50th didn't say to them not to divulge this information, and of course this leader wouldn't mind letting the person in front of him know about these orders that weren't too important.
"That's fine, my mission can be done. My grandfather, His Excellency Count Vicious Wolf, did his best to be a landlord in the face of the distinguished guests from the Elven Kingdom, so he ordered me to bring these sons and daughters to meet the convoy. I don't dare to say that Renze City is a city that can represent the Shenghui Empire, but in the Shenghui Empire, Renze City is also a very large city. Therefore, there is no conflict with His Majesty's orders to invite the distinguished guests to the Wolf Count. And in terms of distance, it is only two or three days longer than walking in a straight line, so I would be grateful if you could explain to your Honorable Majesty the reason for our slight detour. ”
"This is a gesture of gratitude to our wolf leader for the hard work of a few of them, and you can take them for a drink at the bar when the time comes. Thank you again for informing me, can I go and tell the elven guests about the situation? ”
The leader of the Guide Knights had planned to take this opportunity to curry favor with the young magnate in front of him, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly express enough gratitude in a few simple words. Although it is very common for human forces to stuff some money or something when asking someone to do something, throwing a pocket over because of a few simple words is definitely a very generous act of the other party. And according to the feel and weight of the hand, the leader quickly confirmed that there were about 10 gold coins in his pocket! This is undoubtedly a lot of income for them, whose monthly salary is only half a gold coin.
"If you don't have a good time explaining, I'll go with you and explain the situation to the guests."
Since the young knight was so polite, they couldn't just watch each other run to the elven convoy to explain. The leader of the Guiding Knights first sent the youngest Guiding Knight, who had just almost released a flare, to inform the guards who were secretly following the convoy, and then dismounted and came to Peter with Joseph.
(I don't know why the Lord Count Wolf suddenly wanted to receive this group of elven guests.) It seems that no nobleman has taken the initiative to appear so actively when the elves sent students to study abroad in the past? Forget it, I'm a little man who leads the way, and I don't care what the big people of the Earl think. Since the earl dared to send his group of treasures to meet the elven convoy, he would definitely arrange the most high-end one-stop service for them. It's a rare opportunity, so I'll just take my men and enjoy it after these elf kids. )
In fact, for these guide knights, it is very happy to see that a powerful nobleman like Count Wolf offers to receive these guests. Although the nobles in other cities would also put on a welcome look when they saw these elven guests for their own face and the majesty of the empire, the difference between passivity and initiative could be felt even by knights like them.
"Hello, General Peter Etoile. As the young knight had just introduced himself, he was a direct descendant of the Earl from the Wolf Count. This time, I want to invite you to go to the Earldom of the Evil Wolf to enjoy the scenery there, and by the way, exchange feelings with the geniuses of the elven race. Can you make a face and change the direction a little to be a guest in the Wolf Count? ”
Without embarrassing the young Joseph, the leader of the leading knights, who had developed some friendship with Peter during the course of the few days, directly said Joseph's request in a more tactful tone. And Joseph, who was standing next to him, looked at the performance of this leader, and gave a great praise to this man in his heart, and at the same time did not forget to add.
"Grandfather has already prepared a large number of delicacies and exquisite gifts waiting for the geniuses of the elven race. Here, I sincerely invite all of you of the elf clan to come to the evil wolf and appreciate the style of our Renze family. ”
Peter, who had listened to all the conversations between the two men with excellent ear skills, did not give an immediate answer to the two men's plan to change the course slightly, he first confessed to the two of them, ran back to the convoy, and gathered all the accompanying teachers. Then Peter and the teachers went to Princess Lilith's most luxurious carriage and told her about it. Although Peter is now the temporary leader of the convoy, he has not forgotten that there is a princess in the convoy. Even though Peter is a general of the elven royal family, he still has to show enough respect to the royal princess.
Princess Lilith did not show her status as a princess, first of all, she asked the opinions of the accompanying teachers, and then asked Peter's thoughts, and found that these people all agreed to this invitation, so they agreed to the proposal to change the route slightly and go to the territory of the wolf.
After the accompanying teachers explained to the other children the purpose of the group of knights and their next destination, Peter ran back to Joseph and informed the convoy of the decision to change the route. Upon hearing the news, Joseph and the leader of the Guiding Knights looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and remounted their horses and returned to their respective ranks.
Joseph returned to the cavalry regiment and made some gestures to give some orders to the cavalry, and then the cavalry that had already been divided from it naturally ran to the sides of the convoy and took on the role of guard. After doing this, Joseph returned to the convoy and began to walk alongside the leading knight.
At this time, he got close to this group of knights, and Peter found that these knights were far more elite than he imagined. The knights were wearing the same style of monster leather armor and wore a wolf head emblem with a bloody mouth open on their chest. Each knight had two shiny scimitars pinned to his waist, and at first glance they were the best products of the hands of the dwarves. And they each carried a short bow on their backs, and two pots of arrows in their saddles, and seemed to be able to mount and shoot to a certain extent. Coupled with the understanding they had shown so far, and the amazing horsemanship they had just had, Peter felt that what the leader had just said was that this was one of the most famous knights in their Radiant Empire, and that he was very correct.
When Peter and a group of geniuses of the elven clan began to observe this group of elite knights, Joseph was secretly glad that things went very smoothly this time. Peter promised to go to the Wolf Territory with the whole convoy, but it saved Joseph a lot of trouble.
"Take the first team of wolf knights over and invite the geniuses of the elves to our wolf territory, of course, it is best to invite the entire team over. This time you must put your mentality right for me in the past, and lower your status to the extent that you welcome Your Majesty! Don't ask me why, I'll tell you when the time comes. If those imps really don't know how to advance and retreat, and don't want to come, then you should at least invite Drew Maple here! I entertained them not for the sake of the face of that bullshit little marshal, nor the face of that little princess, but for the face of that Drew Maple! ”
"If Drew Maple hesitates, you show him this thing, and he'll come running."
Playing with the small badge in his hand, Joseph began to wonder why his grandfather had invited an elven child whom he had never met.
