Chapter Eighty-Three: News from the Kingdom
A blazing sun rises from the east, shedding golden rays that reflect the fields below and the majestic Plantagenet.
Inside the castle, the maid Polly is diligently cleaning Al's room, although as Al's personal maid, she can tell other maids to clean it.
With Polly's hard work, a layer of fine beads of sweat quietly appeared on Polly's pretty face, wiping her sweaty face, Polly looked at the tidy bedroom, showed a satisfied smile, looked up at the empty bedroom, pouted, and muttered:
"It's been five days, calculate the time, the master should be back."
At the thought that Al might be back today, the little pouting calmed down again, and a happy smile rose on his face.
At this time, on the road not far from Goldfinch City, Al looked at the "strike" frost war horse helplessly, red, and asked unhappily:
"What the hell are you going to do?"
There was a hissing sound in response to Al.
looked arrogant, and the huge horse's eyes stared at the red red of his space bag in a daze.
Al's heart was full of trouble, and he secretly felt distressed in his heart, but he still took out a tube of potion to enhance his attributes, and prepared to pour it into the small silver soup basin.
Seeing Al take out a potion to enhance attributes, "Boom", Honghong hissed in dissatisfaction, and his front hooves were raised high and smashed heavily on the road, suddenly, the temperature around him dropped, and a layer of frost appeared on the road under his feet.
Looking at Honghong's angry appearance, Al felt a pang in his heart, "No, a few tubes of potions that were secretly made with the Intermediate Philosopher's Stone last night were discovered by it?"
Some of them smelled the smell on the sleeves, and sure enough, because they didn't spill a few drops of potion on the sleeves last night, there was now a fresh fragrance on the entire sleeves.
Seeing Al's weak heart, Red hissed proudly, and his big copper bell-like eyes revealed a touch of human cunning.
Looking at the Golden Finch City, where the outline could already be seen in the distance, and the many travelers who were not far away because of the red blockage in front of the intersection, Al resisted the urge to know "how to make horse meat delicious", and reluctantly took out a tube of light silver potion and sprinkled it in the small soup basin.
Listening to Honghong's greedy drinking water, feeling the heartache in his heart, he silently told himself that it was all his own family, and the strength of the mount increased, which was equivalent to an increase in his own strength.
Then, looking at Honghong's huge horse face again, "", I couldn't help but curse the dead horse in my heart. Depressedly turned over the horse, clamped the horse's belly, "sigh the law", with the red smug cry, the group ran towards the Golden Bird City not far away.
Galloping all the way, with the heavily armed guards of the city gates, El returned to Plantagenet.
As soon as he entered the Golden Bird City, Al felt a sense of peace of mind, and many distracting thoughts involuntarily rose in his mind.
During the time I was gone, did my father, Viscount Will, succeed in his retreat?
Her own sister, did Lulu eat on time and work hard to cultivate?
And his own little maid, the lovely Polly, is she still homesick?
Shaking his head, Al suddenly realized that he was no longer the one who did not care, he had a deep bond in this world, and at the same time left a deep imprint.
It's like Al, who originally appeared in this world quietly, has been unable to leave this world without any nostalgia.
"Hoof, hoof", in the case of red hooves, Al quickly returned to the inner city, and came to the castle halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the majestic and solemn stone sculpture in front of the door, squatting in front of the door, a soldier in black armor, standing by the gate as usual, Al had an inexplicable warm feeling in his heart.
Turning over and dismounting lightly, the red "sigh law" hissed, which was regarded as saying hello to Al, and then he didn't know where to run.
The old butler who got the news was hurrying over, and Polly behind her looked up at Al with a sweet smile.
Covertly winked at Polly, looking at her happy face, Al chuckled, and then nodded to the old butler.
As he walked, he asked the old butler, "Did anything happen during my absence?"
"Back to the little master, there is nothing big in the territory, except that the nobles and the commander of the fortress are rushing to participate in tomorrow's military meeting, nothing else is too big."
Hearing this, Al was relieved.
At this time, it is already late autumn, the weather is getting cold, the trees are withering, the outside of the city is desolate, and villages and towns are stockpiling food and strengthening the city walls.
Just as Al was relieved, the old butler hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the outside of the kingdom is not peaceful."
"Huh"? Seeing that the old butler was about to speak and stopped, Al nodded, indicating that he understood, "Let's go, go into the study and talk."
Pushing open the double door of the study, Al sat down at the wide desk, gently drank a sip of the fresh juice brought by Polly, stretched comfortably, and then asked the old butler who came with him suspiciously, "What happened?"
After considering his words, the old butler said solemnly: "Just a few days ago, there was a major event in the surrounding kingdoms, the country where El is located, the Yas Kingdom, was revealed to have secretly intermarried with the Ossery Kingdom, and agreed to marry the princess of the Yas Kingdom to the prince of the Ossery Kingdom, and signed a secret alliance agreement in July this year."
"Then it's lively," Al said subconsciously when he heard this.
The kingdom of Yas, where El is located, is bordered by two powerful kingdoms, the kingdom of Nar and the kingdom of Ossery.
Because most of the current kingdom's territory comes from the Nar Kingdom back then, the Yas Kingdom and the Nar Kingdom have always been relatively hostile.
For example, the frequent friction on the border is because the life of the legendary powerhouse, the founder of the Yas Kingdom, is coming to an end.
"No wonder my country wants to have a secret marriage with the neighboring kingdom of Ossery, the rumors of affection are true, is that legendary powerhouse about to fall? Elmo said, rubbing his chin.
"Judging by the reckoning of time, it should be true," replied the old butler.
"And now?" Al asked, knowing this, it was impossible for the Kingdom of Nar, which had always wanted to take back its original land, not to react and start to probe.
"According to the information sent from the front, the Kingdom of Nar is already secretly mobilizing troops, and there is a high possibility of war!"
Al thought about it, this kind of turmoil and alliance between kingdoms was a bit too far away for him now, and he could only take precautions early.
"Tell the family caravan outside to store a batch of daily necessities before the news spreads, and then pay close attention to the battle ahead." After thinking about it, Al commanded the old butler.
"Yes".
After giving the order, Al began to look through the backlog of information in the past few days. At this time, outside the study, the familiar voice of Old Patton came.
"Haha, Al I'm back again."
A little helplessly looked at Old Barton, who pushed the door straight in, and as for a thin man next to him, he attracted Al's attention.
