Chapter 285: The Ten-Day Covenant

"What does the letter say?" said Stannis lazily, now he was the one who had the initiative.

Advisor Romon re-read the letter again, he was excited for a moment and didn't read the content, "This letter is from Hernandis, the eldest son of the Hoth family, you proposed to his daughter at that time, and he wrote that thanks to your love, of course he is willing to marry his daughter to the famous Robert Knight, but now that the family is in turmoil, he hopes that after his father chooses the next Earl of Hoss, he will discuss this marriage carefully." ”

"Oh, it turns out that he wanted me to send troops to him so that he could be put on the throne of Earl Hoth, and his daughter was the offer." ”

Adviser Romon shook his head, he would never treat his granddaughter as a political victim, nor would he let her marry Robert.

"It was five days ago, the date we sent our troops, Your Excellency. ”

"He will pick a time to send, if I am destroyed, no one will know that he uses external forces to participate in family affairs, and the small abacus is better than the other...... Wait, what's the date?"

Advisor Romon was surprised by his reaction, and he checked the date of the letter again, and it was five days ago.

"Your Excellency, it says February 1st, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

"February 1st......" Stennis repeated the date, his whole body stiffening.

"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with this date, and what does it have to do with the Hoth family!" he made the old man nervous.

But this incident has nothing to do with the Hoth family, but this date reminds him of a very important event, or something directly related to his life.

That was the ten-day covenant that Anya had made with him in a letter when she left! The female mage left a letter when he went to the mausoleum to find answers, leaving a letter saying that she had found her enemy and was about to take revenge. But she was willing to wait for him in a nearby town for ten days, and after ten days, whether he came or not, she would face the smiling man.

After deducting these days, Stannis only has two days left to reach the agreed address.

"Holy shit, my Anya!" Stannis sat on the ground, this was the happiness of his lower body, what if she was killed by the enemy, where was he going to find a woman who was wild and gentle to love?

"It can't be for Miss Aya's business, right?" Advisor Romon finally reacted, only for the sake of women, the man in front of him would roll on the ground so undignified.

Although he thought that he would most likely not be able to make it to the ten-day appointment, Stannis still asked with a glimmer of hope, "How far is Oak Town from here?" This town is the waiting place mentioned by Anya in the letter.

Consultant Luo Meng quickly gave an answer, "If you don't rush there without eating or sleeping, you can arrive in a day and a half." ”

Stannis got up from the ground with a bone, and it wasn't too late for him to say that, so without further ado, leave immediately!

"Robert!" he habitually thought of his little brother, but the other party did not appear as usual.

"Damn, where did this bastard go? he disappeared when he was used!" Stannis looked around, and found that his men didn't know where to run to be happy, and he knew that he wouldn't give them that big benefit, free drinks and women, and he wouldn't come to work himself.

Now only the old man and his granddaughter are left in the castle......

Although he knew that Romon was very powerful, his old body would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of long-distance travel, and there was no way, so Stannis could only go alone.

He summoned the map the dragon had given him, Oak Town was a very difficult and remote town in the swamps of the south, and he had to walk all the way down the river to reach it.

Without further ado, Stannis immediately began to prepare for departure, and his current bachelor, Dinah, silently helped him prepare his luggage and supplies for departure.

And the old man Luo Meng, who had taken a back seat, was noisy beside him, "The important function of being a bachelor is to prevent the lord from making stupid mistakes, such as now, you must persuade him to dispel his thoughts when he knows that it is a risky thing!"

Busy and sweaty, Master Dina nodded her chin with her hand and said with a smile, "Then Grandpa, have you ever succeeded in stopping the lord from taking risks?"

This sentence hit the soft underbelly of Romon Advisor, and he left silently without saying a word.

Stannis winked at the girl with his right eye, it was great to have a maester to speak to, but he had some necessary knowledge to add before he could go.

"Dinah, do you know the Phoenix family?"

Dinah nodded immediately, "Of course you know, this is a family that was destroyed fifteen years ago. ”

The Encyclopedia of Human Flesh was really useful, and Stannis then asked, "Do you know why they were destroyed?"

This is not difficult for this erudite girl, just a little thinking, Dinah gave the answer, "The official statement is that it was because the Phoenix family wanted to communicate with foreign countries to be unfavorable to the Duchy of Tanis, so they were exterminated by Duke Garcia with troops. ”

"What about actually?"

The girl shrugged, "I don't know the truth, but it is rumored that the Phoenix family provided shelter for the last son of the previous duke. ”

"Then are there any people from the Phoenix family who have escaped this catastrophe?"

This is not for Dinah, she knows nothing about anything other than books. Looking at the girl's blushing face, Stannis knew that this question was indeed a bit difficult to ask.

His eyes fell on Pisha behind Dinah, the so-called phantom kamikaze, and he had the idea of fighting this artifact.

"Dinah, can you lend me that beautiful shawl?" Stannis begged.

The girl nervously stroked the transparent tulle and said cautiously: "This is the ordinary shawl that my grandmother left for my father, and left it to me, what is the use of Your Excellency asking for this?"

It doesn't seem like she's aware that this is the Phantom Kamikaze.

"Isn't it so beautiful! I want to pick one for Anya to give her, so you can be a model, okay! Cortana!"

Although she was not happy, Dinah honestly untied the veil and handed it to Stannis, the shape of the thing did not change during the whole process, and sure enough, only a mage could use it.

"Okay, it's time for me to go, and while I'm away, you'll handle all the affairs of the territory for me, and take care of your grandfather!"

After Stennis finished speaking, he turned on his horse, and in order to reach his destination as quickly as possible, Stennis prepared three horses this time to transfer on the way.

Dinah clenched her fists and nodded shyly.

"Then you have to be careful on the road. ”

Stannis grinned at her, then waved his whip and hurried south.
