Chapter 36: Grizzly Bear Castle (Part II)

When we arrived at Limestone Fort, it was already evening, and the setting sun was shining through the spire above the tower, and the whole town was enveloped in fiery red.

The Lord of Grizzly Castle, Benedict, did not receive Rhodes immediately, and according to the squire, Lord Benedict planned to receive the emissary from the North tomorrow morning.

"Have you reported Rhodes' identity to your lord?"

Behind him, Lawrence questioned Benedict's squire, however, from the squire's determined gaze, everyone received an affirmative answer.

"Yes, our lords know that the Chosen One of the Bear God, the Chosen One of Thor, the Lord of Blackhammer Castle, Baron Rod Lawne. ”

Benedict's squire replied earnestly and respectfully.

Lawrence and Tallinnham stopped pursuing it. But Bogur didn't care, he didn't care about the honorific title and identity in human society, as long as he was with whomever he was fighting, he was willing to fight with whomever he wanted. Of course, the premise is that the person must be strong enough, and his opponent must be strong enough. With these two points, the butcher does not care whether you are a king or a beggar.

Caroline, on the other hand, had a cold face, and the Frost Witch remembered the arrogance of the Lord of Grizzly Castle. In Caroline's eyes, this guy was originally a traitor, an enemy of the Ice Queen, that is, her enemy.

"Forget it, since you're here, let's settle down first, it's not a night long anyway. ”

In the end, Rhodes reassured everyone to arrive.

This trip Rhodes originally planned to come alone, but unexpectedly, these partners had already developed a life-and-death friendship with him, no matter where he went alone, they were not at ease, and there was no choice but to let them follow. And Caroline, too, came here not to be curious, but to be relieved of Rod, recalling the first time he saw her, Rod couldn't help but feel that even witches are quietly changing, and she is becoming more mature little by little. After going through so much, she is no longer completely dependent on her temperament.

At night, Rhodes leaned against the window and entered Black Hawk's body with a soul link, observing the entire castle. This is what Yeskovich taught him, and he has mastered it quickly, but for now, he can only control one or two wild creatures, and any more will cause mental disorders. And Yeskovich did not allow himself to do this, it took the old shaman a full twenty years to learn to communicate with all things in nature, and he did not expect Rhodes to learn this skill in a short time.

At night, through the eyes of the Black Hawk, Rhodes saw the whole Grizzly Castle in its entirety, like an octopusal spider lying among the hills. The river flows through a steep valley and forms a small raised hill in the center of the bay, where the main fort of Grizzly Fort was built, and because of the river water on both sides, the castle can be well developed for water transportation.

And the front door, where Rhodes had come in this evening, was a narrow valley where the main entrance was built. The entire Grizzly Bear Fort is staggered, forming a rare mountain town, which has quite a taste. At night, sporadic firelight weaves through the valley like the Milky Way, and the outline of the castle is in full view. It was a beautiful feeling, and Rhodes could even feel the cold wind blowing around him, and if it weren't for Yeskovich's warning, he really didn't want to be pulled out of the falcon's body so quickly.

Back in reality, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little chill, it was a temporary physical weakness caused by a long period of soul linking, but it would soon recover.

Caroline didn't know when she appeared behind her, and sorrow was written on her face. Since the beginning of this war, young wizards have not been as carefree as they once were. She worries about her father, and at the same time, the Queen's actions make her constantly suspicious. It's as if years of faith, years of justice, are collapsing little by little. Like Rod, she saw vampires working under the Queen, and saw how the army exploited civilians with harsh laws, and so much more, which made her feel lost and confused, like the endless night outside the window, where is the real justice? Or, the so-called justice is just a verbal slogan that exists in people.

Rhodes noticed that she had just changed another set of clothes, which were probably pajamas, because the light material of the clothes looked very soft, and they did not have the heaviness and steadiness of the wizard's robe before. A thin velvet blouse covered her graceful figure, and like all aristocratic women, Caroline always wore some low-necked blouse that exposed above her snow-white chest.

The waist will be tied for important occasions, and the clothes for unimportant occasions, such as when friends and family gatherings, are relatively simple. Rhodes had tried to persuade her more than once not to dress so sexy, but considering that this was the etiquette of aristocratic circles, it was difficult to say much.

After all, in this circle, there are not a few women who dress like this, and Caroline is considered decent. Some aristocratic women are simply seductive, like the purple-robed woman who appeared at Aubrey's wedding feast, eager to show off her skin all over her body...... Beauty Nest

It has to be said that this is the difference between women and men, men are simple in their clothing, especially those who have been on the go for a long time, and there is almost no difference between clothes at home and outside. When you go out, you put on your coat and cloak, and when you return to the room, you take off your cloak and sleep with your head tilted. Women are different, they pay attention to dress, especially aristocratic women, every time they go out, they have to dress up carefully, a set of clothes at home, a set of clothes outside, and they have to change their clothes immediately when they return home, and they have a special set of pajamas when they sleep...... In short, it is very complicated and cumbersome, however, in their eyes, it is a matter of course.

"Some drinks?"

Rhodes asked, turning around.

"No, I don't like to drink, and if it weren't for social necessity, I'd never touch that thing for the rest of my life. ”

The witch replied. Her dark blue eyes were like the sea, blending into the endless night, but with a hint of melancholy, which had never been seen before.

"Haha, let's have some coffee, a specialty from Arabi. Can help you sleep. ”

Rod said, a smile casually hung on the corner of his mouth, always so peaceful.

"I've only heard that coffee keeps people awake. ”

Caroline retorted. Still, a hand reached for the bulging coffee bag.

"It depends on the individual, some people can't fall asleep after drinking coffee, and some people fall asleep with the help of coffee. Maybe you should try, you've been like me lately, and you've always had a bad night's sleep. ”

Rod smiled and continued.

"How do you know I can't sleep well?"

"Because I always fall asleep after you've fallen asleep. ”

Rhodes returned.

"Could it be that you always peek at me sleeping?"

Caroline said, poking Rhodes in the chest with her fingertips, her eyes staring at the tall man in front of her with malicious intent.

"Do you still need a peek? When your tent is quiet, I'll know you're asleep. ”

Rod said with a smile, and in an instant, Caroline's face turned red......
