Ruzel's great road noticed that the thin man and the woman were at odds with each other when he mentioned the five hundred thousand gold coins, and the caster and the elf were completely indifferent, yes, he thought, except dragons and dwarves, that no race was richer than the elves, but the dwarves who could dig for gems, gold, and silver were as serious as the plundering dragons, and did not mind getting more— Of course, only life and virtue can shake the elves, and this is mentioned more than once in the bard's verses—the Grand Duke of Luzel pondered that his domain included the White Tower and the Partridge Hill, and that the lord, his courtier, had left two bloodlines there, one of which was mixed with the blood of the elves. He had hoped that they would kill each other so that he could reclaim the White Tower and the Partridge Hill, but what he didn't expect was that the girl named Anrui would be stupid enough to give herself and her territory to his enemies. And the male heir, the one named Demon, is like a moth, devouring the life of the White Tower with speed and madness—several guild leaders have come to appeal to Archduke Luzel, and they have paid countless bribes to Demon, but their caravans will still be looted, extorted, Extortion, even in the daylight, the members of the Thieves' Guild dare to swagger through the wide streets, their shops and warehouses become semi-public dens for the sale of stolen goods, their wives and children are insecure in the city, and are in danger of losing their virginity and even their lives at any moment, and their sons, adult and minor, are either led astray by the priests of Frow, or semi-forcibly become the "cubs" of the Guild, who are whipped to steal, rob, and murder— If a merchant wants to bring his son home, he has to pay a huge ransom that will ruin his family.

The Grand Duke of Luzel was very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, and what he wanted to reclaim was a vibrant, rich, and stable White Tower. Instead of a den of thieves occupied by a thief's guild.

Had it not been for the Norman king of the Highlands, ah, the old king who was now dead and eager to attack his idea of the valley of oaks, and he had been caught by him by accident in battle, Archduke Luzel would have issued his edict for a reasonable answer from Dermon—or rather, he would have had to look at the attitude of the elves, who seemed to have given up on Anrui, but it was never too much to be cautious about this group of tough and stubborn non-humans.

"Where are your people?"

But that's not bad. Grand Duke Luzel grinned, he could now test the elves' attitude directly: "In the fortress of Fouquet," he squeezed his eyes at the elves, "for possessions, he is safest there." ”、

"One of the twelve towers," said Berdwin, looking around, "Fouquet is in the northeast. Before he could elaborate, a long, clear trumpet sounded across the lilac sky at dawn, and several falcons streaked across the sky with shrill whistles.

"They have discovered," said the Norman knights and lords of the Highlands, "that they are giving orders." All gates will be closed. ”

"Oh......" Archduke Luzel patted him on the belly: "I think the most important thing is to hide us, if we continue to stay here, even the Norman knights of the Highlands are really not very good at playing hide and seek, as long as they have eyes." They can see us, too. ”

In fact, needless to say, Cremar had already begun to cast a spell—the spell he had cast on him and Kerry himself had failed, and they had reverted to their original form—and this time the spell had worked on several of them, and Grand Duke Luzel felt cold. Although he knew that it might just be his mental effect, what he saw afterwards made his eyes and mouth open uncontrollably.

"May I ask, honorable mage? He asked curiously, "Are you turning them into hounds?"

"And you. There are only hounds in the stables except for the horses," Kremar explained, "It's just an illusion, Your Highness, an illusion that only works on ordinary people. ”

It should be noted that, as we saw earlier, the Norman court in the Highlands was more of a fortress than a palace, and like other fortresses, it had tall double walls, arrow towers, auxiliary towers, main towers, inner courts, atriums, outer courts— Viewed from the sky, it resembles an isosceles trapezoidal with an outer outline, the main tower, the king's tower, in the middle of the lower parallel of the inner courtyard, the lower parallel of the isosceles trapezoid, and the prison tower in the lower left corner of the trapezoid, and the small courtyard for the storage of horses in the corner of the prison tower, covered by its shadow, because of the bad smell, no nobles will be arranged to stay here, only soldiers and servants in charge of the horses, and few guards.

"Wouldn't the horses be better?" said Grand Duke Luzel, who looked up at the trough, where a silly earth-colored head was exposed, and he tried to shake his ears, and they swished to stand up, "I prefer horses." ”

"If you can afford to carry a knight who weighs three hundred pounds in armor," Gülen said, "I don't think the master will mind much." ”

Memmy let out a small exclamation, though her cry sounded like a puppy barking to anyone other than Cremar - a dog came and sniffed her, affectionately trying to lick her nose.

"I'm glad you're still so likable," said the thief, "ah, no, pleasing dog." ”

"Don't speak," said Kerryben, the elf's ears allowing him to hear more, "someone is coming." ”

Archduke Luzel felt a little unfair, for Carey was a rather beautiful hound, black with long, thin legs. The trimmed ears are straight.

The duke's knights hurried in, and they called out to the servants who watched the dogs, only to find them drunk, and with great difficulty woke one of them, and ordered him to take the dogs and go after them the fleeing sinners.

As their servants took their master's horses and served them unceremoniously straddle them, Grand Duke Luzel shuddered.

"What's the matter with this dog?" a knight who was about to mount his horse suddenly asked suspiciously, "Is it injured and bitten by another dog?" He pointed to Memi, who wanted to hide but it was too late, and the servant who saw the dog gave her a vague look, he did not remember such a dog.

"It's useless. The other knight said, drawing his sword and walking towards the dogs.

A greyhound that suddenly jumped out stood in front of him. It was scrawny and had gray fur, but the massive head and shiny teeth still startled the knight.

"I'm sorry, my lord, ten thousand sorry!" the servant with the dog hurried over: "I'll give them a few whips at once......!

"Forget it," said the knight, who had noticed that something was wrong with Meme, "that may be his lover," he said jokingly, "and maybe he still has his puppies—don't waste time on the dogs, we should go!"

His companion retracted his sword in a daze, and jumped onto his horse. "Don't make a mistake. He warned: "The king is not in a good mood, and there are still a few pieces of human skin missing from his iron chair." ”

The servant who kept the dog shuddered, he had wanted to say that there seemed to be several more dogs in his dog pack, but now he didn't want to say anything - they were all dogs anyway.

Baldwin retreated from the dogs, cold sweat soaking through his robes, "How am I doing?" he asked, pretending to be relaxed, "Still like a dog?"

In fact, the scene was ridiculous, Baldwin was a tall adult male, with thick hands and feet, and he didn't know what his image looked like to outsiders. He could only bend his knees, fold his hands, and bark at the knight like a real dog—for a former lord, a man who once sat at the same table as the king. In the words of a nobleman who drinks in a golden cup, this is undoubtedly humiliation and mockery.

No one said anything more, they ran after the dogs, and it was already getting light. There were only a few dark corners that needed to be lit by torches, and if it weren't for the fact that the courtyard was crowded with nobles who had come to meet the new king, they might have been discovered by the mages who were scouting around.

"Can we blend in between them?" asked Memi. Several times the guards and knights passed by her, and she was almost scared to death.

"They are allowed to come in, but they may not be allowed to go out. "Dogs don't have to. He hadn't quite understood why the caster had set their illusion to a pack of dogs, but now he had some of the understanding that when chasing down escaped criminals, the only ones who rushed out of the gates were dogs, except for knights and guards.

"Hopefully they won't bring a mage. Mei Mi said.

"Mages don't act with those who are inferior. Archduke Luzel said that he also had several powerful spellcasters, and knew that their eyes would barely look down, but if he could go back this time, he would have to warn them of that.

When the pale golden morning light finally cast on the entire royal court, and the illusion was about to fail, Kremar had given up on his original idea and began to prepare another spell, and at the knight's order, the back door opened, and they rushed out.

The ghost stumbled, and Berdwin looked back at the court for the last time, and he saw something shining on the solid walls.

"What are you looking at, my nephew?" said the new Norman king of the Highlands, duke, who looked down from Dylan Donclay's line of sight, and saw a large group of dogs barking wildly, following the knights and guards out of the court, "how strange is this," he said, "how could they just disappear without a trace?"

Dylan Donclay looked up at the magical galaxy, which already looked like a pale white mark in the morning light: "Who knows," he said perfunctorily, "there is always some whimsy available." ”

The new king frowned, "Sometimes you spellcasters are so annoying. ”

"That's not a good thing to say," Dylan said, "haven't you always wanted to form a group of mages?"

"Yes...... But ...... "the new king did not notice, or he noticed but did not care—the conversation was shifted to his interest, so he took his nephew by the hand and walked intimately shoulder to shoulder with him down the wall, gushing along the way.

&&&

Escaping from the court was only the first step, and was surrounded by a masonry fence of twelve towers and the walls that connected them, and on the perimeter of this masonry fence were the outer walls and moat.

That's what the Norman king of the Highlands thought at that time, and if anyone wanted to kill him and his descendants as he had killed the lord of the castle, he would have to cross a moat as wide as a star, then break the solid outer walls, and then he would have to face the knights and soldiers stored in the twelve towers, and finally the more solid royal court.

But a long time has passed, and even though his children still live in the royal court, the children of his courtiers still live in the twelve towers. But the latter's loyalty was far less secure than that of their ancestors, and they each had their own ideas and desires, and in this chaotic and critical moment, they were courteous to the new king, and at the same time they quietly gathered their soldiers, and did not devote all their strength to hunting down the murderer of the old king, as the new king had hoped.

However, the escaped Grand Duke Luzel made them even more excited, and in the reward given by the new king, the murderer who murdered the old king was only 10,000 gold coins, while the Grand Duke Luzel had 100,000 gold coins.

Maybe we'll get more. They privately said that if they really caught Archduke Luzel who escaped in chaos, then they could take all the ransom, and it was revealed that Archduke Luzel's ransom was as high as 500,000 gold coins.

As for the murderer of Lao Wang, in fact, even the new king doesn't care so much, although there are many people who think that this poor guy is just accused of killing the king - after all, he has no motive to murder Lao Wang, everything he has is given by Lao Wang, and he lost Lao Wang. Like now, he had to run around like a lost dog to keep the new king's noose and axe from falling on his neck—but anyway, since the new king had said so. He has also been deprived of all honor and status, as well as his surname, and has become a sinner, then he is a sinner.

Who would speak for a serf's child? No. There are a lot of people who want to hang him with their own hands.

After leaving the royal court, the Birdwin and the others consciously and quietly moved away from the running dogs. There was a ring of hills between the royal court and the twelve towers, and the hills were not allowed to be used to build siege equipment, according to the orders of the kings, but the shrubs were indeed lush and vigorous, and they quickly hid in them, and in a few moments their illusions were ineffective.

"That's the tower of Fouquet. Archduke Luzel said that they were only a few hundred feet away: "But it must have been strictly guarded." ”

It was not difficult to get in touch with the courtiers of the Grand Duke of Luzel, and although Keriben's Ji Zhen was squeamish and irritable, he was also very reliable in the necessary moments, taking the Grand Duke's signet ring and quickly bringing back the reply given by the Grand Duke's mage.

"He will come to meet me, we," said the Grand Duke, "but he said, and they are also in custody, and though he can still move, the Normans of the Highlands will not allow us to leave here—until my ransom is paid into the new king's treasury." ”

"We're going through four gates, and a drawbridge. Carey Ben said.

"So," asked the Grand Duke, "what should we do next?"

Gülen curled his lips, "If it's us," he said calmly, "we're going to cause a commotion, set fire to something, and it's all nobles, aren't they, they're going to run away desperately—there's always a chance or two." ”

- If it were me, the lich said, I'd do the same, but fire wasn't the best option.

- Tell me about it?

- I will choose the plague, my dear, the plague, the pustules, the spots, the vomiting, the diarrhea, the bleeding, the fever, the one who can take a life in half a day, this is the best choice - no one is not afraid of this, they will destroy everything that stands in their way - including their king.
