After Drington finished speaking, the knights behind him also cast strange glances at Gordon.

Hearing that Dellington seemed to have something to say, Gordon felt that Faria had something special about him.

"Gordon is my friend, that's all." Falia explained in the briefest sentence, and then she looked impatient: "I think you should go and meet with Ms. Bishop instead of dwelling on it here." ”

In the face of this almost blunt eviction order, Dellington was not annoyed, he just raised his chin gracefully and showed a charming smile: "Falia, you are right, talk about the old things, save it for later." Then I took my leave, two. ”

The handsome knight then turned around and ordered, "All dismount, and show your honor as the vanguard knight of the Wintertalon Legion!" ”

With a crisp sound of armor, all the knights got off their horses, lined up neatly, and walked into the barracks.

People say "proud soldiers". Generally speaking, those elite soldiers have a lot of temper and are used to arrogance. But this Drington knight is different, he restrains his elite knights very well, and does not act like galloping in the barracks. It didn't seem easy for Drington to maintain such discipline in the face of a rabble of noble privateers and improvised civilians.

At least, in terms of face work, he does a good job and will not be held by others.

It seems that there is some kind of force this morning that does not want Gordon to have a good breakfast. Not long after Drington left, he and Falia had not yet reached the kitchen next to the baggage camp when they were stopped again.

"Master Gordon...... Miss Faria......"

Gordon looked at the hurrying, panting soldier in front of him, his face familiar and often seen by Ms. Bishop.

"I'm Ms. Bishop's bodyguard." The soldier briefly explained, "Please also invite the two of you to go to the lady's tent and attend the meeting." ”

"Meeting? Didn't we already have a meeting after last night's battle? Could it be that it was only one night later, and something happened? Could it be that Drington has just brought some new news? ”

"Not the little white face of the Winterpaw Legion." The soldier didn't seem to have much affection for the handsome knight. A muffled snort of disdain came out of his nose, "However, someone did bring new news. ”

He paused and said solemnly, "The Grand Duke is here." ”

"Lord Antelo?" Gordon said.

"Him?" Faria's eyebrows furrowed slightly in surprise.

Gao registered that this high-ranking and powerful Grand Duke had gone far away, so that when their autumn hunting team encountered a demonic attack in the Cold Mist Mountain Range, they were unable to take measures in time. I didn't expect the war to just end. He returned to the Far Frost Province. Unlike the Wintertalon Legion, which rode thousands of miles to help, the Scepter Lord probably rushed over directly with a portal.

Gordon and Faria looked at each other, nodded, and followed Miss Bishop's guard into the tent.

Dressed in a golden silk magic robe, he holds a platinum scepter. Rob is rhythmically tapping lightly on the table. Grand Duke Antelo, seated in the middle of the tent. Lady Bishop, who had been like a real general, commanding the human motley army to break through the encirclement, fight the demons, and finally win, seemed to have resumed her job like an ordinary guard. Standing straight behind the Grand Duke, his right hand resting slightly on the hilt of his sword, keeping vigilant.

Behind Antello were four men dressed in silver silk magic robes. One of them was Yoland, whom Gordon had dealt with. Dumick, Master Xi under the command of the Grand Duke, is a member of the Arcane Federation. Although the other three have not been seen by Gordon, judging from the magical aura they inadvertently revealed, they should also be high-level mages with extraordinary attainments.

Other nobles. Including Delington, which just arrived this morning, is on the left and right. One by one, they bowed their heads and were silent, not even daring to speak - the power of the Lord of Scepters could be seen.

Also, Rob. Antello could be a kind and open elder in front of Gordon, but in front of these nobles, he had to remain majestic. How else to rule the land?

"You two are here." The Lord of Wands glanced at the two young men who had just entered.

Gordon saluted, "Yes, Lord Antelo. ”

“…… Father ......" Faria hesitated, and a word popped out of her mouth.

Everyone present was taken aback. The gossip news of the discord between the father and daughter of the Grand Duke's family is a well-known "secret" of the nobles in the Northland. In any public occasion where father and daughter had to appear together before, no one had ever heard Faria call Antello "father". The nobles who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Lord of Scepters made a joke about this in private: Rob. Even if Antelo can conquer all the beauties in the world, he will not be able to take his daughter.

Although the ability to be moody and temperamental had already been perfected, the Scepter Lord's lips were slightly open, revealing a look of surprise. He was rarely stunned in front of everyone for a moment, and then showed a heartfelt smile: "Daughter, you have worked hard." ”

Subsequently, Rob. Antello glanced at Gordon again, full of gratitude.

"This ...... Did he misunderstand something......"

At the beginning of this autumn hunt, the Grand Duke asked Gordon to take care of his only daughter. Truth be told, he didn't do it perfectly. not only dragged this daughter to fight with the black dragon, but even almost killed her. Although the result was a happy one, the process was thrilling. Now Faria's attitude towards her father has changed, most likely because she had an epiphany at the time of her near death, and it has nothing to do with him at all. But the Grand Duke misunderstood, thinking that it was his own credit for persuasion.

Of course, Gordon didn't know that his words did have an effect on Faria's change of attitude towards her father, so she still felt a little guilty in her heart.

Mistress Antello didn't bother with these little things, he waved his hand and asked Gordon and Phalia to side with Dorne, and then turned the conversation back to business: "I have a general understanding of the matter of Autumn Hunter this time. You can fight bloody battles against demons, worthy of the glory of the empire, worthy of the favor of the dragon god. His Majesty already knew about this, and after the preparations for the imperial capital were completed, the envoy would go on his way. ”

The implication is that I have already reported your merits to the emperor, so let's wait for the reward for your merits.

The aristocrats smiled.

"But......" Antello said, "The demon invasion is an extremely serious event. The empire must be thoroughly investigated, the cause and the effect, and every detail must not be spared. The Temple of Dawn, the Platinum Temple, and the enforcers of Erasis will all participate in the investigation......"

The nobles, who were still elated just now, had a bitter look on their faces at the thought of facing the temple's repeated investigation and questioning, and even some of them were short-tempered, such as the three Lambor Toni brothers with barbarian blood, who had already cursed in a low voice.

Even if they were all innocent, even if the priests and arbiters of the temple did not dare to be disrespectful to the nobles, those endless investigations and conversations would still make people lose their skin.

Gordon quietly looked at the Earl of Thompson in front of him, and now the old fellow was quite calm, and his eyes were closed calmly, as if he had nothing to do with him. I'm afraid he thought what he was doing was seamless. Unbeknownst to him, Xie Ona wasn't actually dead.

"That's it!" The Scepter Lord pressed his hands on a false press, and the cacophony of conversation in the tent instantly disappeared, and there was silence again. "Everyone is a hero of the empire, and the investigation is just a routine matter, so there is no need to worry too much. This time, I came through the portal, firstly, to let the mage regiment investigate the battlefield, and secondly, to have some personal matters. Gordon, you stay, the others please come back. The main force of the Winterclaw Legion arrives in the afternoon, and everyone can set off at that time. ”

The thought of leaving this damn desolate mountain of suffering soon made the nobles look relieved. Then they cast a rather envious look at Gordon - even Faria did not have a chance to be alone with the Grand Duke, and how important it was for Gordon to be able to talk privately with the Grand Duke!

The Knight of Drington glanced at Gordon meaningfully, and also left with the flow of people.

Gordon can't afford to worry about these details right now. Seeing that Count Thompson was about to walk out of the tent, he deliberately raised his voice and said to the Lord of Wands: "Lord Antelo, my sister Sheona is seriously injured and unconscious. Can you think of a way to get her back to Clear Water City early and receive treatment? ”

"Your sister is hurt? No problem, I'll open a portal in a while, and let her go back with you first......"

"Thank you, sir."

While speaking to the Lord of Wands, Gordon took the opportunity to glance at Earl Thompson, and now the other party's footsteps were visibly hesitant.

Very good, it seems that the other party has heard the conversation between himself and the Grand Duke clearly.

The Earl of Thompson thought that he had done the last night cleanly, leaving no consequences behind, so he was very calm. However, if he knew that Xie Ona was still alive, he would be afraid, he would panic, and he would want to take measures to completely extinguish the hidden danger......

It is very difficult for an old nobleman like Earl Thompson, whose forces are intertwined, to take the initiative to defeat him, with Gordon's strength. But if the other side takes the initiative, it will be much easier. As soon as you move, you will inevitably reveal flaws. And by grasping the flaw, Gordon had a chance to stab that deadly sword.

When there were only two people left in the tent, the Lord of Scepters spoke in a more stern and cautious tone, "I left the Far Frost Province this time and found out something. The events of the last day elf castle, as well as this demonic invasion, are all related to this. Something big is coming. ”
