"Come on, have a glass of hot wine, it's going to be winter, and snow is a common occurrence in our Iron Rock City. "There was a nest of people in the small room, and an old man with a three-quarter bald head walked in with a large plate.

There were several glasses of hot wine on a large plate, bubbling "cooing".

His name was Pittman, and he was the steward of Iron Rock City, with the few strands of white hair hanging from either side of his head, and he was dressed in a black linen robe, and his body was leaning like a rusty toy. He wears high boots on his feet, the edges of which are wet with water, and he can leave a clear circle of footprints on the wooden floor of the house as he walks.

There were three small beds in the room, on which lay Evan, Eluman (who had changed into clothes so that he would not be naked), and Blackfang. After receiving emergency treatment from the doctors of Iron Rock City, they had gradually woken up.

Among them, Evan recovered the fastest, and was soon able to get out of bed and talk to everyone.

As for the half-crippled Chagatu, he was amputated after being anesthetic, and at this time he was lying in a wheelchair drooling and still asleep. Roddy sat next to him, holding a handkerchief to help him wipe off the saliva that was about to fall to the ground from time to time.

"Oh my God, what kind of wine is this, I swear there is no worse wine in the world. Fenex took a sip, frowned and stuck out her little tongue, "This wine is too bitter too." ”

"The taste is really not flattering, and it is not as good as the beer in Sun Town. Ai Wen only felt that his mouth was astringent, and there was some unknown sediment standing between his teeth, which was strange and uncomfortable after drinking.

"Well, it's not bad, it's authentic Hobson beer, what, haven't you drunk it, it's only available in Central Ironrock. The dry mouth of Elluman raised his head and drank most of the cup, and praised, "It's enjoyable!"

"Hehe, it's still you kid who knows the goods. Old Pitman made a fire in the house, meditated on the spot and began to get heat, and then he couldn't help but talk again, "Now there are wars everywhere, some small and some big, the security is very poor, and there are not many merchants willing to come to Iron Rock City to do business, the prices in the city are very high, these beers are still the existence of my small cellar, you have to drink, you should be grateful to Dade." ”

"But we have been through so much to get here before the arrival of the Serdian army. Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, his expression had been solemn all the way. He straightened his clothes, sat there, put his hand into his arms from time to time, and touched the white Ma Yu, who was a little hot.

"It's been a long, long time since I was away from home, and I didn't have a carrier pigeon that could reach Gilberg in Silver Shield City, and now that I'm in Ironrock City, it's time to write a letter home. Elluman sat up with his strength.

"Write to your family, young man, where are you from?" Pitman was interested, "Listen to your accent, is it Noze from the South?"

"Yes, I am the third son of the lord of Fort Gilberg, named Eluman Tirros, one of the rightful heirs of the castle. ”

"Heck, interesting, how long have you been away from home?" he asked.

"I don't remember exactly, but it's been a long time anyway. ”

"I'm afraid you won't find a carrier pigeon to Noze at the post house in Ironrock, where there has just been a coup d'état, and Fort Gilberg is no exception, I have been there before, and the heirs and families of the former lord of the castle have died in the coup, and none of them have been spared. ”

"What!" The death of his two brothers, who had bullied him for many years, was naturally not worthy of such grief as Ellumina, but it was a little difficult to accept to hear that his kind mother had also died in the coup.

"One day, I'm going to take back everything that belongs to the Tilros family!" he said indignantly.

"The person who took the lead in making trouble, the guy called Lei Liol, was very vicious, and he executed all the officials of the former dynasty as soon as he took office, and if the surrounding vassal lords dared to say a word, they would also be wiped out and shuffled. Pittman scratched the few strands of hair that were left, "Coax, didn't I say that it was terrible, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you." ”

"No, I have to thank you for making my will for revenge even stronger. ”

"Knock! knock!" After two knocks on the door, a group of silver-robed women pushed open the door and walked in.

When they entered, the wooden door closed automatically, and one of them was the messenger who had discovered the crowd during the day, Eunice. She was short and stood to Mirana's left, with her head only on her chest.

"It's all here, I was patrolling the south wall at the time of the incident, and I sensed the powerful magic in the fog to the south, and I found these people when I went to investigate. Eunice reported truthfully, with a beautiful silver conch hanging from her chest.

"I know, there are a few old faces among these people. Mirana smiled and looked at Aven, "You guys came all the way here, what should you bring with you?"

"Yes, Holy Envoy!" Evan gave a report on Thorox, and Eluman and Roddy made some necessary additions. In the end, they presented a token of Aiyusha, a small piece of silver lotus flowers, stationed in Silver Shield City, to prove the reliability of the report.

"No wonder Prussia has disappeared for so long, it turns out that she has already been murdered. The Holy Envoy Bilena gritted her teeth to calm her emotions, and she had a dark yellow agate ornament on her chest.

"So, this time Cerdia's so-called support is actually a Trojan horse siege trick?" Mirana was not distracted by the death of Prussia and the resurrection of Thorox, she was calmly thinking about countermeasures, "I originally planned to garrison in the central part of the country to fight against the invasion from the southeastern coalition army, but I didn't think that the real enemy was someone else, but it is no wonder that they chose to stand still and did not move for a long time, it seems that we knew the news of the recovery of the Northern Emperor one step ahead of us, and are ready to reap the benefits." ”

"Even if we see through the Northern Emperor's plan, the combat capabilities of Iron Rock City shouldn't be able to stop an invasion of this scale, right?" Bilena quickly assessed her combat power and shook her head. It is known that as early as the First Age, the first Aegis Guardians sacrificed their lives to destroy this war madness.

"There may be a solution, but it's not a long-term solution. "Mirana had personally faced that vicious battle in Ironstone City in the First Age, and naturally knew the strength of Thorox, "Now we can only pray that he will be very different from his previous strength after resurrection, even if it is very unlikely." ”

"Report!" came the voice of a soldier outside the door.

"What's the matter?" the door opened, and a soldier came up with a dove made of clouds in both hands.

"Dove of Heaven!" the Holy Envoys recognized the strange-shaped dove, "The results of the decipherment of the Senate of the Five Courtyards have come out!"

"In other words, Leah has new news??!" Evan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and looked at the dove made of clouds, with a circle of runes floating in the air tied to its feet, which was the latest news brought by the Elders of the Five Academies!
