On the plains, not far from the Zeta Mountains, rises a huge castle. This castle is completely different from the rough style of the orc castle and looks quite sophisticated.

The castle is made of large strips of gray-white granite stone, which from a distance looks like a jewel in the green grassland. On the battlements of the city wall, there are also long blue streamers hanging outward, which makes the whole castle even more noble.

It was already sunset, and the peasants who had entered the city were beginning to return home, when a tall white horse appeared on the plain outside the castle, and a man in a gray cloak sat on it. He covered his entire face with a hood, looking very mysterious. From time to time on the avenue, peasants carrying rudimentary farm tools passed by him, and their eyes would look at the knight with curiosity.

The man did not feel the slightest nervousness about the attention of the peasants, he looked at the castle in the distance, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then he whipped his horsewhip violently, and the white horse suddenly neighed, and then galloped towards the castle.

After a while, the knight came to the gate of the castle. At the gate of the castle, four soldiers dressed in blue griffin heraldic uniforms were interrogating the people entering the city, and when they saw a group of horses, they immediately stepped forward and stopped him.

Seeing the soldiers coming, the man turned over and dismounted with unusual dexterity, and when he landed on the ground, he didn't make any sound, which surprised several soldiers defending the city.

Before the soldier could ask, the man lifted his hood to reveal a handsome face, and to the soldier's surprise, the man's ears were as sharp as those of an elf.

"Hello, my name is Solomon, and I want to see your Lord Count Alfred. ”

The man gave a friendly smile to the soldiers and whispered.

An hour later, in the tallest building of the castle, Solomon stood in the center of the hall, flanked by a group of knights in knightly armor, and on the throne at the end of the hall sat a tall, languid man. This man was wearing a knight's regular robe, and the blue brocade robe made the man look very handsome, even though a lot of white hair had been revealed between his sideburns, but the whole person was like a lion, putting great pressure on everyone.

"Half-elf, please tell me what you are here for. ”

A middle-aged man in an indigo mage robe walked up to Solomon and asked.

The man on the throne held a silver wine cup in his right hand, gently shaking the wine in the glass, and waited for Solomon's answer with a relaxed expression.

Solomon showed his trademark smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and bowed down and said, "Lord Earl, my name is Solomon Claire, the messenger of the Troubadour and the God of Thieves, who has just come from the Orc Empire. ”

Hearing Solomon's words, the man on the throne immediately straightened up and placed his glass on the table. The mage before Solomon also bowed, and the gods had unrivaled authority in this world. Although this is a world of many gods, the messenger of one god is still highly respected.

"Divine Envoy, don't you know what happened to you in our Griffon City?"

The mage asked respectfully, his tone no longer devoid of the arrogance he had just had.

Solomon smiled and replied, "I just came back from the Orc Empire, passing by the Dwarven Hills and entering the Great Plains of Azeroth, but I didn't expect to see the Zeta Mountains blaze with fire in the sky not long after walking. Out of curiosity, I sneaked over to check it out, and found that it turned out to be a place called Burning Volcano Village that had been conquered. ”

As Solomon spoke, he saw that the man on the throne had a gloomy face, and even his fingers were slowly closing and clenching into fists.

Seeing this, Solomon's smile intensified.

The mage in front of him also obviously knew about the filthy affairs of Count Alfred, and when he heard that the Burning Volcano Village had been conquered, he hurriedly asked, "Then, has anyone escaped? Who attacked this fortress?"

Solomon smiled when he heard this, and then said unhurriedly, "I saved a dying bandit, and he told me before he died that the attackers of the cottage had powerful steel golems and flying machines that could fly in the sky. ”

Hearing this, the knights in the hall couldn't help but talk in a whisper. What Solomon said really shocked them, with a large number of steel golems and flying machines that could fly in the sky, these people must have come from an unusual background.

The Count of Alfred, who was on the throne, frowned very tightly at this time, and he didn't think for a long time that there was such a powerful force. He thought for a while, coughed, and the knights in the hall suddenly stopped discussing and stood up.

When the hall was silent, Count Alfred beckoned to the attendant next to him, who quickly pulled out a chair, placed it behind Solomon, and left respectfully.

When Solomon was seated, Count Alfrede asked, "I wonder if the Divine Envoy knows where this power comes from?"

Solomon nodded with a smile and said, "There is only one person who can have a steel puppet and a large number of flying machines, and that is the king of the Goblin Kingdom, Sun Licheng. ”

"Goblin Kingdom?"

Count Alfred looked puzzled, apparently not having heard it.

At this moment, a knight on the right, dressed in black armor with a bear's head carved on his chest, said loudly, "Goblins, those green-skinned, beggar-like races, they can also have a country, and they have so many powerful weapons? Your Excellency, you're not joking, are you?"

Hearing the Bear-Headed Knight's question, the surrounding knights couldn't help but nod their heads. There are also many goblins in the human kingdom, but these goblins are hidden in the mountains, which are very primitive and savage, and often cause problems for farmers. Several times a year, these knights go on expeditions to exterminate these pesky goblins, even the tall bear goblins, and they don't take them seriously. Suddenly hearing that there is a goblin kingdom with a large number of mechanical golems and flying machines, these people feel that their three views have been turned upside down.

Solomon nodded and said, "This kingdom was originally called the Goblin Kingdom, in the northernmost part of this continent, and it was called the Land of God's Forsaken. This Sun Licheng is not ordinary, he came from the God's Forsaken Land in the north, relied on his own strength and bloody killing, occupied the entire goblin, and then proclaimed himself the goblin king. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the knights around him, and found that everyone still looked disapplied, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then said: "Of course, even if he becomes the king of the goblin kingdom, he is still in the northernmost part, and naturally he can't affect Griffon City." However, he has another title, which I guess will be of interest to everyone. ”

After speaking, seeing that everyone was looking at him with curiosity, Solomon cleared his throat and said, "This Sun Licheng also has an orc empire, the name of a half-orc prince, and his army exceeds 200,000. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the castle suddenly lost their cool and shouted, "How is this possible? The king of a goblin kingdom is still a half-orc prince?"

At this moment, the Count of Alfred, who was on the throne, raised his hands and pressed down, and the knights on both sides immediately stopped the noise and fell silent.

When calm had regained in the hall, Count Alfrede said to Solomon, "Your Majesty, can you tell me what this Majesty Sun Licheng is doing when he comes to my domain?"
