Chapter 188: Dock Negotiations
Wren was practicing in the training room when Sicarius pushed the door in.
"Boss, have your letter. The tall makurag man held a letter in his hand and handed it to Wren.
Wren stopped casting the spell and asked as he took the letter, "Who sent it?"
"Madam Pansil asked me to pass it on to you, and she said there was a griffin rider who threw the letter down from the sky and flew away. Sicarius pouted, he wasn't there when the griffon flew in, or else a javelin would have been thrown up to make sure the other party wouldn't be able to go.
The letter had been opened and checked by Pansil, and there was no problem.
Wren pulled out the letter and read it, frowning slightly.
The person who wrote the letter turned out to be the Marquis of Giliu, Sonas, who wanted to negotiate peace with him on behalf of the Modu nobles, and the place of negotiation was in the Yangshui port in the territory, and the time was today.
The wording of the letter was very polite, and not only the Marquis of Giliu himself, but also the lords and representatives of other families would be present.
They awaited the Earl of Glamorgan at the Harbor of Yangshui.
Wren was a little surprised when he saw this title, the Mordu nobles had already admitted that they were the Earls of Glamorgan?
Yesterday these people were eager to kill themselves, but today they have made a 180-degree turn, which is alarming.
Wren thought about it for a while, what was on the letter should be true, it wasn't a trap.
In his plan, he would take people out after noon to recover Yangshui Port, and even if the Marquis of Jiliu did not invite them, he would have to go to this port himself.
It's just that the Modu nobles suddenly want to negotiate, which is a bit unexpected.
"Celia. ”
Wren shouted, and Osilia's figure appeared in the air.
Sicarius next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw her appear, he and his clansmen and the high-level of the Dragonstone Mercenary Xuan, who had been around Ren all day long, knew that there was a powerful spellcaster who had been secretly protecting Rennes, and now he finally saw it.
From Wren, Sicarius received a part of the will to truth, and his perception became quite acute, and immediately in Osiria, he smelled the smell of danger.
"This lady must be legendary!"
Osilia ignored Sicarius' curious gaze, and after taking the envelope and reading it, doubts appeared on her face.
With her understanding of the Mordu aristocracy, she would never give up such a big benefit easily.
Yesterday in the port of Hailibuch, although the layout against Rennes failed, but this does not mean that they have no other way.
They can find more legendary transcendents, far more than three.
Unless......
Osilia and Wren glanced at each other, and Wren spoke up, "They already know about my connection with Master Anthy. ”
Only this reason can explain the change in attitude of the Mordu aristocracy.
In the past so many years, the confidence of the Modu nobles to dare to compete with the Duke of Silver Star was mainly from the support of Master Anxi.
Now they found out that Master Anzai might be standing on the other side, and they were probably scared enough.
No one in the Empire wants to be an enemy of two Holy Soul Wizards.
"Did the Modu nobles visit Master Anthy?" Wren asked.
"From the day you were canonized as the Earl of Glamorgan, they have always wanted to see their teacher. "But the teacher refused under the pretext of a magic experiment, and he hasn't shown up for almost a month. ”
Wren nodded, his gaze falling on Osiria's face.
"Could it be that you were exposed?"
"Impossible!" Osilia immediately shook her head and said with certainty: "Absolutely no one below the Holy Soul can see through my invisibility technique, even if it is a teacher, sometimes he may not be able to discover my existence, otherwise the teacher will not send me to protect you secretly." ”
"Such a powerful ......," Wren's eyes flashed with imperceptible amusement.
Osilia snorted, "You don't believe it?"
"I believe it. Wren smiled, in fact, he had long known that Osiria had two kinds of stealth abilities.
One is the invisibility technique of the five rings, which is a spell that she usually uses and comes from the mastery of the mage profession;
The other is her talent spell as an iridescent dragon, called the Rainbow Cloak, which is an extremely powerful protection spell that can deflect most physical and energy attacks, while also controlling the distortion and refraction of light to achieve complete invisibility.
The Iridescent Cloak is a transcendent element, and cannot be seen through by ordinary insight or arcane eyes.
However, no matter what kind of invisibility it is, there is nothing to hide under the will of truth.
Wren is usually well disguised, even if he sees Osiria, he pretends not to know, and he doesn't even have a look.
Seeing that Osiria was suspicious in his heart, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Since you can't be exposed, then, the problem lies with Master Anxi. ”
"He shouldn't have disguised his identity when he tracked down Ruin Anselm, right?"
"I guess the nobles of Mordu got the news from Master Ruin. ”
Osiria nodded in agreement, which was most likely, and said, "I'll contact the teacher right away." With that, her figure vanished.
Wren could only wait.
The decision on whether to negotiate with the Mordu nobles is not in his own hands, but is decided by Master Anzai.
From his point of view, it is best to negotiate and get rid of the identity of the bait.
In fact, regardless of whether the peace talks are made or not, the bait of himself has lost its effect, and the Modu nobles will only be more cautious after knowing their relationship with Master Anxi, and they will not dare to make any more casual moves against themselves.
In less than five minutes, Osilia was back.
"How's that?" Wren hurriedly asked.
"The teacher agrees with you to negotiate. Osiria said softly: "But the teacher has a request for you, no matter what conditions you agree with the Modu nobles, you must continue to investigate them, and you can use any means, and after this matter is completed, the teacher will openly accept you as a student." ”
Wren immediately understood.
If he reached a reconciliation with the Mordu nobles, then the arrangements made by Master Anthy before would be useless, and he would give away a county of Glamorgan for nothing.
Now let yourself investigate this matter, and turn from bait to thug, which can be regarded as a timely stop loss.
Wren knew he had no choice, so he immediately agreed: "I agree." ”
He immediately set off with all his men and horses to Yangshui Harbor.
Located on the southernmost point of the Territory of Glamorgan, on the edge of Paradise Bay, nearly a hundred miles from the Blue Water High Fort, the team runs along a main road with large farms and plantations in sight.
More than an hour later, we arrived outside the port.
Although he was sure that it would not be a trap, Wren was still very cautious to let Osiria enter the port one step ahead of time to investigate.
Wait until Osiria returns and confirms that there is no problem, and the team enters the port.
Yangshui Port is a deep-water port, mainly freight, with very few passengers, so the flow of people in the port is far less than that of Highbridge Port.
As far as the eye could see, the port was still functioning.
On one of the empty docks, there was a large group of people waiting there, and the patrol of the port sent people to cordon off this pier to prevent anyone from approaching.
Many people are aware that something big is about to happen and watch curiously from afar.
When people saw Wren entering the harbor with a large number of men, there was an uproar, thinking that the battle that had taken place yesterday in Port Highbridge was going to be repeated today.
Wren rode on his dragon horn warhorse, slowing down to approach the dock.
In the middle of the open space was a large table with wine and tea, and chairs on either side, and seven people were already seated.
Wren's gaze swept over the seven, and he recognized three of them.
The Marquis of Giliu sat in the middle, on either side of him, on the left hand side was a middle-aged woman, with a beautiful face, a dignified and dignified face, wearing a complicated aristocratic dress, with an anchor-like pendant around her neck, which should be the lord of the Pumore family, the Countess of Kailin.
The flame of faith in her soul indicates that this countess is a follower of the Lord of the Storm, a Storm Priest of the ninth rank.
To the right of the Marquis of Giliu is an elderly male.
He looked to be at least sixty years old, with thinning hair, wrinkled faces, and fancy clothes that could not hide his old age, and when he saw Wren, his face became gloomy and his mood was full of hostility.
Wren noticed his gaze and couldn't help but frown.
The other four people, one was Rosa Logos, whom he had seen before, Viscount Stodd himself, and the legendary high-ranking sword master did not appear.
The other three, Wren didn't know either.
Judging from their dress and seat, it is obvious that they are not lords, but only attend on behalf of the family, and they are all three nobles who do not border with the county of Glamorgan, and their interests are small.
After ruling it out, Wren confirmed that the old man to the right of the Marquis of Guiliu should be the Count of Atlanque, Pirino Aiden.
Behind these lords and nobles were their clan forces.
A team of twenty heavily armed knights from the Torbay family, more than thirty uniformly dressed gunners with the insignia of a gray eagle on their shoulders, the same coat of arms as Pirino Aiden, more than twenty male naga armed with tridents, who stood with their serpent-like tails and covered in smooth green scales, and the most conspicuous of all the griffin knights.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Wren's body.
He raised his hand and told the Silver Knight and the Centaurs to stop and steer the Dragonhorn Horses forward, with only Emilys on the back of the Centaur leader Zoor and thirteen Ultramarines behind him.
As the distance narrowed, the two sides were close at hand, and the atmosphere became tense.
The Marquis of Jiliu got up, and the others couldn't sit still.
Wren's eyes flickered, and crazy thoughts jumped into his heart.
If you take out Rambo's gun at this time, shoot for a while, and then let thirteen ultramarines rush forward, maybe you can take these people away in waves.
In that case, all problems will be solved.
"No, there must be big people watching in the dark, and Master Anzai won't allow me to do this. ”
Wren finally suppressed his impulse and let the dragon horn war horse stop ten steps away from the table, he did not dismount, looked at several Modu nobles condescendingly, the corners of his mouth rose, and said arrogantly: "Everyone, are you here to pay me money?"
