60 [Onner Svanti]
After tossing and turning for a while, with a tightness in her chest, Nissa finally put on the cuirass with the help of Serapelle, and even though the cuirass had a dome on the front, she was still squeezed so that her back was against the breastplate. There is also the empty shoulders, the width of the breastplate is too wide for her, so that after her hand comes out, she can't hang down naturally, so she has to find other parts to match, otherwise it looks too weird, she helplessly looked at the pieces she threw on the ground just now.
Most of these are in vain.
But at least it's better than putting on a few clothes on a hot day, she comforted herself.
"It's done!" said Serapelle happily, "Shall we wear them here, or in those houses?"
Nissa came back to her senses from her frustration, glanced at the long legs of the two, and sighed again, "Here, it's troublesome to hug around, and if it's not suitable, you can change it on the spot." β
......
In the end, after many attempts and comparisons, the two finally made up two sets of armor that roughly met the requirements, but after putting on the helmet and putting down the mask, Serrapel's back looked like a man, and Nissa looked like a particularly tall and strong man.
"Where are we going next?" heard the sound of Serapelle's urn in the armor, and it sounded like it was doubtful that if it was a little quieter, it would be better to hear it clearly.
"Find a house and rest for a while," Nyssa's reply was similarly urned as she inserted her greatsword into the scabbard on her back, "by the way, look for a suitable tool to climb the wall." β
=================================================
After Carter took Al from the church and threw him in prison, he hurried to Fort Duke, and now he didn't want to think about anything but doing these things, he felt that he was in a bit like a gambler, pressing down the chips, making a bet, and killing him. But he knows that he is not a gambler, and he is not stupid to put his whole belongings on the table, let others control everything, and let others determine his own life and death.
If you have to gamble, then he is also the dealer who controls the whole game, the dispossession favored by the gods.
Skirting the alleys and stepping onto the stone avenue, he only had to look up to see the Duke's Castle built on the slope of a large gap in the mountain range, with three huge round towers.
Although he didn't spend much time in Luolong City, as long as he was in the city, Carter would keep looking up at it, looking up at the stone fortress that represented the supreme power and power of Luolong City, which was the goal he climbed, and maybe one day, it would also become his own ladder up.
Now, it is like a beacon guiding the fishing boat in the night, guiding its devotees towards it.
"Stop!"
Arriving at the gate of the outer wall of Fort Duke, Carter was stopped by the guards here, although he did not dare, and he had no intention of breaking in, and no one went to the door, but the two guards had already set up a fork in the door with their spears, and shouted at Carter.
But Carter wasn't too surprised, the same was the case the last time he came, the doorman had to stop a large number of seekers every day, and it was impossible to remember Carter who had only visited once, and it didn't matter. He took out two gold coins from his bosom and handed them over respectfully.
"Carter, at Blackfish River Camp, brings news of [Woodland Roses] to the Duke. β
The two soldiers also skillfully took the gold coin, stuffed it into their arms, the coldness on their faces was instantly shattered, and they were replaced by a friendly smile, they did not go in immediately to report, but asked Carter about the woman who was held up to the sky. The closer the person is to the center, the greater the curiosity about women, and the clearer they are about women's reputations.
The more you know, the more you want to know before you realize how ignorant you are.
In this regard, although Carter sneered in his heart, but there was a different expression on his face, and he dealt with it casually, for him, just arranging two sentences could deceive these two fools, and even make them think that the sooner they could meet Lord Duke, the sooner they could see [Woodland Rose], it was just a matter of moving their mouths.
So under the attack of gold coins and lies, a guard ran to report it.
"The duke said to wait for you in the inner court, hurry up and get in!"
When the guard ran back, he hurriedly urged Carter to hurry in, as if Carter had gone to help him with an errand.
After thanking the two fools, Carter continued to walk inside, although this was only the second time, but in his heart, in his mind, Carter had gone around and around here countless times, just like his own home.
Ascending the stone steps and re-identifying the guards at the entrance to the Inner Fort, Carter made his way through the guardhouse and atrium to the Duke's room. It has to be said that the guards on the outer wall obviously added fuel to Carter's rhetoric and exchanged with the guards of the inner fort, and the two men almost pushed Carter in.
Entering the designated room, Carter saw this nobleman standing at the apex of Luolong City again, although his head was gray, but his hair was thick, his forehead and cheeks were slightly furrowed when he smiled, which added a little vicissitudes to him, and under the thick sword eyebrows were a pair of bright eyes, except for these characteristics that made Carter slightly into his brain, the other parts seemed to him to be no different from ordinary people, and he was in awe of the Duke, not Oone-Wingy.
In response to the Duke's smile, Carter bowed and saluted, "Good day, Lord Duke." β
"You'reβ" The Duke recalled, continuing, "Carter, the head guard of the Blackfish River camp. β
"Yes, sir. β
Carter replied respectfully, although he didn't think the other party could remember him, but letting the Duke pretend like this was already a great respect for himself.
"Well, thank you for the information you brought last time, so that we will not be unprepared for today's war. The Duke smiled and said, "Then from now on, you will be a nobleman, Your Excellency." β
What? What did he say? Baron?
Carter, who confirmed that he heard correctly, was instantly stunned by happiness, he had imagined countless times that he was going to be canonized as a nobleman, and often demanded himself according to the standards of nobility, and even from the bottom of his heart, he believed that he was a nobleman, like when he taught Al, in anger he said words that exposed his inner desires. But his fantasy is not the same as his dream come true, and he also feels that he should be canonized, but he didn't expect that within two minutes of entering the door, the Duke directly smashed the cake at him, which was really unexpected.
