Verse 172: Tico's Hunting Grounds

The Tico hunting ground is located in the south of Franciscans, with the Angolo Mountains in the background, and it takes two days to reach Nicaro on horseback.

Since the beginning of the Magic Kingdom, this has been a hunting ground, after hundreds of years of development and dynastic changes, it has grown from the first few accommodation rooms to the current size of the town, but because it has always been a hunting ground for the great nobles, the facilities here are not commercial, all are the private property of successive Franciscan lords.

Surrounding the central castle, the town of Tico is dotted with houses that are now inhabited by a number of people, as can be seen from the vehicles and horses scattered around the town.

Since it was already evening when Nikaro's autumn hunting party arrived, he didn't see anyone on the streets of the town, except for the soldiers stationed at the Tico hunting grounds, and only five or six people walked towards the castle in the middle of the town.

Tico is a hunting ground, and the main function of the town is only temporary residence, so it is not as big as other towns, very small, and the Norman is very conspicuous after their large group of people entered, and the sound of horses' hooves is not earth-shattering, but at least it can be heard through the town, and the few people who were originally walking towards the castle naturally heard it, and they all turned around and looked at this side vigilantly.

By the light of the moon, you can see that the people are four men and two women.

"It's finally time for Tiko,"

Armstrong rode over to Norman and sighed, "I've been on the verge of death on horseback for the past two days, I'll have to get some sleep later!"

The selection of the autumn hunters was very interesting, and most of the children of the nobles who accompanied him were members of the Skull and Bones Society, and Armstrong was naturally among them.

But Norman didn't seem to hear Armstrong's words, his head lowered suddenly, his face was buried, his eyes were full of panic, and he had already scolded his mother for selling batches.

Damn, what did he see? He actually saw Isabella, his little maid!

There are two possibilities, one, Isabella got separated from the legation, and second, the legation of the Holy Maiden came to Francis.

And in connection with what Herbert said during the day, the first possibility is obviously very small, that is, Herbert actually brought people to greet the Holy Maiden envoy in the name of Autumn Hunting!

No wonder Herbert would say "glory" or something during the day, indeed, for these nobles, it is indeed an honor to take on the responsibility of welcoming the Holy Maiden Envoys, which is no wonder why the people accompanying him on this autumn hunt are all the children of the major noble families of Nicaro, and the big guys who dare to love are here to take credit.

But that's for ordinary nobles, for Norman, it's not a good thing for the Holy Maiden to be sidelined, and he still clearly remembers the Aether Labyrinth before!

The so-called once bitten by a snake and ten years afraid of the well rope is probably Norman's current psychological state, so he immediately lowered his head, just for fear of being recognized by Isabella.

However, he was mixed in with the large army, and it was night again, so it was still a little difficult to be recognized, so it was safe for the time being.

Once in the town, Herbert brought the group to a halt, dismounted with a few men, and headed for the castle.

"Why don't you let us in and rest?"

Armstrong looked at Herbert's back in front of him, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "There are many rooms in the castle, it's not a problem to live in our people, what does Herbert want to do?"

After everyone got off their horses and rested, not only Armstrong was with Norman, but also Joseph, June, and several other members of the Skull and Bones who came out together.

After hearing Armstrong's complaints, Corwin narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction of the castle and said leisurely, "It seems that the Tico Hunting Ground has a big man." ”

Joseph looked a little disdainful, and said, "Big man? Herbert is a big man himself, the son of the Grand Duke, the dignified Earl, isn't it big enough? And there are many big people here, and our Miss Rodriguez is also a big man." ”

June, who was mentioned by name, shook his head, ignored Joseph, and did not take Colewin's words, but looked at Norman and asked, "Alan, what do you think?"

When the others heard this, they also looked at it.

All the members of the Skull and Bones Society learned the skills of rice grid and pinyin from Norman, which was very helpful for the cultivation of their mage power, and the reward Norman charged them for this was almost negligible, which made them all grateful for Norman's kindness, and faintly, Norman and these members of the Skull and Bones Society were already half-teachers and half-friends.

And Norman dragged them to create Nikhaim, which made them not know what to say.

These people may have just regarded that investment as a handout to Norman, but after seeing Nikhaim's printing technology that was enough to change the times, and the sensation that Nikahim caused in Nikaheim, they all knew what a great industry Nikhaheim was, and how many people wanted to participate in it?

It is no wonder that the members of the Skull and Bones Society are now invisibly led by Norman, and this is also the first time that the Skull and Bones Society has achieved such great prestige in the meeting since its establishment.

After hearing June's question, Norman did not answer immediately, but cautiously raised his head and looked in the direction of the castle, and saw that Isabella was no longer on the street, probably after entering the castle, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually: "I don't have any opinion for the time being." ”

Jun raised an eyebrow, "Okay." ”

Armstrong, on the other hand, felt that Colwin's statement made sense, and asked a new question: "You say, will Herbert let us live outside today, and won't let us live in the castle?"

If that's the case, that's fine, Norman thought to himself.

Joseph said, "If he can't give us a good reason, then I don't think he will obey his orders, and I want you to stand with me......"

In the end, it is the child of a great nobleman, this is hard to say, even in the face of the son of the grand duke, it is true, ready to be tough.

A few people chatted here, and when they entered the castle, Count Herbert sat and talked face-to-face with an old man in a reception room in the castle.

"Thank you very much for the support of the Church, and I think that the Pope will be pleased with the Archduke's piety when he learns about it. ”

The old man who was talking was none other than Norman's long-time acquaintance, Cardinal Hardy Juvenstein of the Fathers.

Compared with when he was in the Aether Labyrinth, Hardy has not changed much after just over a month, and he has not been injured at all, and the journey seems to be relatively smooth.

Herbert smiled and said, "This is what we should do, to be able to defend the glory of the church, that is our glory." After a pause, he said, "We plan to rest for a bowl today, arrange a feast tomorrow morning, and then leave for Nicaro after everyone has eaten, what do you think, Priest Hardy?"

Hardy nodded, "Just do what you say, Mr. Herbert." ”

Herbert then smiled and said, "Well, I hope that when the time comes, I will have the honor of seeing the Holy Maiden and the honor of the legendary oracle, and that will be my honor." ”

Hardy said quietly, "I'm sure they'll be happy to see you, too, Mr. Herbert." ”

Herbert seemed particularly interested in the "Divine Envoy", and asked, "Priest Hardy, the legend says that the Divine Envoy didn't even use spells, but just led you all the way and broke the level 9 spell Aether Labyrinth, is this true?"

Hardy's expression became solemn, and he said solemnly: "That's right, the god made Lord get the instruction of the father, and he cracked the level 9 spell aether labyrinth without using spells. The path traveled by the Divine Messenger was full of flames, the space collapsed, the passage of time, and all the sufferings of the world were inflicted on Him, but with His supreme devotion to God the Father, He endured it with great perseverance and led us lost sheep out of their predicament......"

Herbert's eyes were full of brilliance, his eyes were far away, and with Hardy's description, the whole person's mind seemed to go to the scene of the incomparably solemn and sacred miracle, and his heart was surging when he thought about that scene.
