But soon Duke changed his mind, if the heavens gave him another chance, Duke would definitely hold this dwarf until he was old!

Because through Watt's introduction, Duke learned that this copper whisker is a master craftsman of the Alpine Dwarf Clan, proficient in weapon forging and quarrying techniques, especially in the tempering process of steel, which is simply the best.

It is no exaggeration to say that Copperbeard is the world's weapon expert and craftsman, and a super dwarf craftsman. And the copper whisker is also very familiar with the dwarven clan's close relatives goblin engineers, so they will understand the production of the steam engine, if the copper whisker is brought over, then whether it is weapons, mining, or later steam engine technology research and development, is a key figure.

Think about the value of a master of ordnance in later generations? Bronze Whisker has several master-level skills, and his value to Storm Castle is immeasurable. So let alone shake hands and get a few hammers, even if Duke is asked to give the dwarf a few hugs, it is estimated that he will not hesitate!

That night, Duke also hosted a grand welcome dinner at Stormcastle to welcome Watt and Copperbeard. Moreover, Duke also risked his life and fought with the so-called massive dwarves, which moved Copperbeard, saying that Duke was the most enthusiastic and honest human he had ever met, and he patted his chest on the spot and said that he was going to serve Stormcastle.

Seeing that it was so easy to leave the copper whiskers, Duke couldn't help but sigh that the dwarves were really upright, just drink a few glasses of wine and get it, if the other races were so upright, then it was estimated that they would unify the world.

However, the consequence of going out to fight for wine was that Duke was carried into the bedroom, and it was not until the next day that Duke woke up in a daze, rubbed his head that was aching after the hangover, and planned to get up and take Watt to the metal laboratory of the hydraulic factory, so that Sarah, Watt and Bruno could officially develop the steam engine project in Storm Castle.

"Your Excellency, are you awake? This is a hot towel, you should wipe it down first. ”

A somewhat stiff female voice came, and Duke took the towel in a daze, and when he wiped his face, he suddenly realized that it was not the maid Sophia, but the witch Rose standing in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Duke was startled when Rose suddenly appeared.

Facing Duke's surprised tone, Rose blushed and said: "Yesterday's dinner ended too late, Sophia and they were busy until early in the morning, waiting for you to get up and fall asleep against the door, just when I had something to do with you, I helped her bring the towel in." ”

This has found a bedroom, and it really looks like the vigorous and resolute style of this little girl.

"Tell me, what's the matter. Duke asked, handing the towel to Rose.

"My innate magic is space magic, once used, it is very sensitive to magic fluctuations in a certain space, and this operation to save Watt, I felt very weak other magic fluctuations in the dungeon, and it was very similar to a reconnaissance spell. ”

"I thought I was feeling wrong, but after I told Hera the Great Witch last night, she felt it too. It's just that we didn't dig too much into it in order to lead Watt to leave quickly, and now that we think about the rescue operation that day, someone should have found out, and they were right next to us to use magic to investigate. ”

"Someone found out?" Duke was really a little surprised at this time, if it was really discovered, then it must not be a member of the Holy See, otherwise with the strength of the Holy See, a few of them would not be able to get out of Andorra City.

So who found out, but didn't make a noise? According to the strength of the Holy See on the mainland, there are really not many forces that can disobey the orders of the Holy See. More importantly, why did this side of the force spy on Rose and they were still silent, is it a coincidence or have they been targeted for a long time?

If it was a coincidence, Duke would have accepted it. But if you are targeted early, it is too terrifying. Because the act of saving Watt is a temporary decision, if this is all targeted, it means that someone knows what he did in Stormcastle.

These actions of Duke Storm Fort can almost be called a "rebellion", and if it is stabbed out, it will be really troublesome.

"My lord, I'm sorry, we may have really caused disaster for Stormcastle. ”

Rose lowered her head as she said this, knowing what the consequences would be if it leaked out.

The lord instructed the witch to go to the Inquisition to "rob the prison", which would be a big news that will be unique in the continent of Europa. It is estimated that Duke will not be judged by the Inquisition, and the entire Storm Castle will be directly destroyed.

Seeing Rose like this, Duke said with a nonchalant face, "I once said that Stormcastle would never blame an innocent woman for a disaster!" Don't worry, as long as I'm still the lord of Stormcastle, I'll have everything to do!"

Maybe it's because the debt is too much, Duke is really not as panicked as before, it's a big deal, he runs away if he can't fight, he doesn't even have the preparation to run away, and he dares to say that he wants to challenge the Holy See when he defends science?

And his own witches, dark mages, and even dwarves or something, all have rich experience in guerrilla warfare, and if they can't do it, they can also play a rural area to surround the urban agglomeration, who is afraid of whom in today's society?

Besides, if it was really someone from the Holy See's side, it is estimated that there would have been a rumor a long time ago, and now that it is so calm, either the investigators are coincidental, or if they have other purposes. Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if you really can't be scared of these things that haven't happened yet, then Duke doesn't know how many times he will be scared to death in a Jedi like Storm Fort.

"By the way, I remember saying earlier that if you rescued Watt, I would reward you. Now that you have done it, I will fulfill my promise. ”

Hearing Duke's words, Rose shook her head and replied, "Lord Lord, our operation this time is not a complete success, and there are still great hidden dangers, so we don't want any rewards." ”

"If you get to Storm Castle, your mission has been successful. And this time the reward is not gold and silver treasures, it is something I promised before. ”

After Duke finished speaking, he asked Rose to wait for him in the study, and then got up and got dressed.

When she came to the study, Rose was still a little uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, worried that because of herself, it would bring disaster to Stormcastle. Maybe there won't be a second Storm Castle in the whole world, and there will be no more "home" with a second lord like Duke.

Many times this is the case, and the lies have been propagated for hundreds of years, and even the witches themselves wonder if they are really bad omens.

Seeing Rose like this, Duke smiled at her, then picked up a scroll of paper from his desk and said, "The previous orders of Storm Castle were all issued by the City Hall, but this will be the first City Lord Order I have officially issued. And the content of this city lord's decree is that Stormcastle will give the status of witch subjects, and you will officially become a member of Stormcastle!"
