Chapter 25: The Countess
The rain poured down, and Lynn stood on the city wall and was instantly drenched.
He prevented Hood, the leader of the guards, from stepping forward to give a salute.
He raised his voice and asked with concern, "What is the situation on the stranded ship?"
Guard Hood replied loudly, "My lord, except for the dozens of sailors who came down from the first ship, after forming a team on the coastline, they entered the mangrove forest not far away, and the two boats that rushed up to the shallow water behind did not see a single figure coming down, and the subordinates obeyed the orders of the lord and did not dare to let people go out to investigate." ”
Through the layers of rain, Lynn looked north, and there was no one on the shoreline.
The rain seeped down his hairline to his cheeks, and he asked again, "What about those blue-eyed monsters on the boat?"
Hood still shook his head, saying he didn't know.
Ghouls can't swim, they only sink when they go into the water, they can't float, and the stranded iron boat can't go ashore even if it's in shallow water.
The sea water is also corrosive, and it is a pile of carrion ghouls, and it is estimated that the bones are soft after soaking in the sea for a long time.
Lynn guessed that the ghouls must still be trapped on the ship.
However, why the escaped Iron Folk sailors went to the mangrove forest after the whole team, Lynn was a little undecided.
Look at the coastline not far away.
The waves hit the beach one after another, the tide rises and falls, and the boats rise and fall with the waves.
The huge waves rolled and threw many shrimp and crabs to the shore, followed by a huge wave that swallowed them back into the sea.
It's only rainstorm, and the real storm is yet to come.
The coconut palms of the distant shoreline were blown to the ground, and the waves crashed against the three stranded boats, almost over the side and onto the inboard deck.
Lynn was drenched, and he felt a chill in the rain.
"My lord, why don't you go and rest first?" I'm staring here. ”
Hood said with concern.
The wet clothes stuck to his body, it felt terrible, but thinking of those blue-eyed monsters, Lynn didn't want to rest, the strange ghosts were in the territory, and they couldn't be relieved for a day.
It was getting dark.
Beneath the dark clouds overhead, the color of the whole world darkened.
Lynn turned to Hood and said, "If there is no movement, you will go to Anzhuhou to go to the stranded place to check it, and if you wait any longer, it will be dark." ”
"My lord, what the hell are those monsters?"
Hood couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lynn had been keeping a nervous look.
Lynn was damp and dripping like a curtain of rain, he shook it, his eyes were fixed on the northern coastline, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and said, "It should be a strange ghost!"
Hood's hand gripping the hilt trembled when he heard this.
At this moment, a man's voice was heard at the watchtower: "Look, three more ships have entered the harbor." ”
Lynn looked to the docks.
Entering the port were two fishing boats from the fishing village harbor, which was rushed back by Rodat and Harry Kane, and Lynn felt at ease, it seemed that the war at sea was over.
However, when he saw another three-sailed giant ship following the fishing boat into the harbor, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
It seems that the ship of the Fettling family had to enter the harbor to dock in order to escape the storm.
These men must know something, or they wouldn't be following behind the merchant ships of the Iron Islands.
Lynn's eyes froze, with a little coldness in his eyes.
He said lightly to Hood, "Go to the people to spread the message, allow them to dock at the port, let them lead the way into the fishing village port city to meet me, as for the rest of the people, let Rodat keep an eye on it, the sailors of the Fettling family are not allowed to enter the city, they can only stay in the port." ”
"It's my lord, let's go. ”
Since the people of the Fitling family took the initiative to dock, Lynn planned to inquire about the truth of the matter first.
Fishing Village Port Lord's Mansion.
Lynn changed into clean clothes.
Old Master Hill accompanied him as he approached the visitor of Widow's Hope.
To Lynn's surprise, the person who came turned out to be a noble woman, and she was followed by a young petite and beautiful female guard.
The woman walked into the hall of the mansion, looked at Lynn sitting in front of the shore platform, smiled proudly, and said pointedly: "I didn't expect that on the east coast of my northern border, there is still a person like Your Excellency. ”
Lynn said lightly, "The Countess is wrong, my territory is generally 50 square kilometers, and the number of households is only 300, where is the word worthy of the character, besides, the east coast is the east coast of the north, and the fishing village port is the territory of White Harbor, which has nothing to do with the Fitling family." ”
When the woman heard this, a strange color flashed in the corner of her eyes, "There is also a powerful army that can defeat the 500 Iron Islanders, isn't it?
With a sly look on her face, Lynn raised her long eyebrows and blinked, "Could it be that the widow wants to have other women as noble and beautiful as Madame?"
The Countess of Fettling, who was over forty years old, had a sense of nobility in every part of her body, and was of excellent appearance and temperament, and the mature charm that bloomed at her age was very charming.
When the noble woman heard this, she only chuckled,
However, the face of the stainless steel plate armor female swordsman who followed her was much more exciting.
Lynn looked at the female swordsman with interest, and couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw her little hand resting on the hilt of a beautiful steel long sword, looking like she was about to devour herself alive.
Mrs. Fettling pursed her lips and said, "You are a good talker, but I remember that the lord of this little fishing village was Rothschild." ”
"That was my father, who passed away a few years ago. ”
"Sadly, I had a relationship with Mr. Rothschild once, and it was at the Winterfell Harvest Banquet ten years ago. ”
Lynn didn't believe that a small lord like Fishing Village Harbor would impress a countess, but it was the least etiquette to respect other people's acting skills.
Lynn cooperated: "Father is also impressed by Madame, and once praised your stunning demeanor. ”
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Lynn was almost dragged by the countess to admit her son, so she quickly stopped and pulled the topic back.
Lynn said in a joking tone, "Madame, but you're here for the stranger?"
"This is a creature from an ancient legend, and it doesn't give many conclusive facts, have you seen it?"
Mrs. Fitlin's face remained unchanged, and her expression remained indifferent.
The words are clear, and if you continue to act like this, it won't be authentic, Lynn frowned.
Taking a deep breath, he reminded, "Some blue-eyed monsters that can't be killed. ”
The countess was still groaning, but the female swordsman beside her couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and said, "Where are those monsters, you must burn them with fire to completely destroy them." ”
"Well, I know. Lynn narrowed her eyes, nodded slightly, and said to the female swordsman, "Where did they come from, widow looking in the city?"
"No, it's a desperate ......"
Countess Fitlin's face darkened, and she hurriedly scolded the female guard, "Shut up." ”
The female swordsman suddenly realized that she was being tricked by Lynn, and she knew that she was speechless, and a pair of beautiful cold eyes glared at Lynn with an innocent face.
"Is this true?" Lynn blinked, her gaze moving to the noble lady and slowly speaking.
"It's true. Mrs. Fitling nodded helplessly.
At the same time, he continued to say to Lynn, "Coming from the direction of the Desperate City Wall in the north, there was only one strange ghost at first, but ......"
Her tone was hesitant, as if she wasn't quite sure.
Lynn's face was slightly bitter, and he interrupted, "But there's a lot of it coming out in the back, isn't it?"
The Countess closed her eyes slightly, "Yes, the widow looks at the blue-eyed monsters everywhere outside the city, fortunately, the castle gate is closed, I can't go back for the time being, this thing has disappeared for thousands of years, how can you be sure that these monsters are strange ghosts?"
Lynn didn't answer, but continued to ask, "That lady, do I know why these monsters are in the merchant ships of the Iron Islands?"
