The Green family's mansion, located in the very heart of Treewood City, was built by the grandfather of the current mayor forty years ago. By the standards of the castle, it is almost brand new.

It is nicknamed the "milk house" by the common people because its walls, fortresses and towers are made of high-quality white stone, which is quarried from the valley and transported over the mountains and mountains.

The floors and pillars of the mansion are made of creamy white marble with golden veins, and the rafters on the top of the head are bone-white fishbeam trunks. It looks magnificent, but it costs money to build.

But now that the mansion is no longer in sight – or rather squeezed from the center of the stage – the gnomes have made raw materials out of rubble, and the "Grey Tower" fortress is located next to the "milk house".

The lead-gray tower-like structure, more than three times taller than the tallest tower of the Grimm family mansion, was topped by two pygmy airships.

When the sun rises, the Gray Tower is like a sharp needle erected in the center of the sundial, and the shadow is cast on the "milk house" for the first time. After four or five hourglass hours, the shadow slowly receives.

It stands to reason that Green, the current head of the milk house, the current mayor of Emerald Wood City, and the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, has been so angry that he can't eat for many days.

"Has Lord Quest returned, and the Flying Pigeon has not heard from him?" Sitting in a chair made of opal, Green asked aloud to his squire, his tone full of anxiety.

Because the Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order does not have a priest, and Emerald Wood City does not have a mage who can communicate over a long distance, the connection between him and Quest can only rely on the more primitive flying pigeon communication. And Green can't wait a little now.

For no other reason, it still has something to do with the gnomes: three days ago, the Freg Ironbeard had sent a message to all the mayors of the city-states of Ramsay, inviting them to a "knighthood tournament".

The so-called "knightly jousting tournament" is actually a tradition of Ramsay, born out of the ancient ritual warfare. Through competitive competitions, the Ramsay people can choose a leader with strong martial arts skills to lead them to challenge the emperor.

It's just that the current coalition army has voted for a commander-in-chief. Even if the gnome elder Tie with the steel mane didn't say it explicitly, this act itself was a challenge to Green's authority.

However, according to Ramsay tradition, the leaders of the city-states had no way to refuse the invitation. What's more, except for Green's hardcore allies, the entire alliance is not monolithic.

So, almost all the mayors of the city-states agreed to come. Yesterday morning, the Grey Tower sent more than ten dwarf helicopters to various human city-states to pick up the mayors and knights for the competition.

Although Green is actually more confident in his martial arts - after all, in order to become the patriarch of the Green family, he hunted a hill giant alone before the coming-of-age ceremony - but the people who come to participate in the tournament are not all those fat-headed mayors, they have the right to let the knights loyal to them take their place in the field to compete for the crown of the conference.

Even the exiled mayor of Soft Maple City canonized the head of his mercenary team as a knight a few days ago, saying that he wanted him to be a representative to fight for honor for himself and show his fame for Soft Maple City. And if he faced the elite fighter in a hundred battles, Green only had five or five wins to ask himself, so he needed to find Olympic reinforcements.

The first thing that came to his mind was the Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order. Although this chamber of commerce first made contact with the fat mayor of Soft Maple City, many of the subsequent collaborations were actually led by Green.

Regarding the strength of the Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order, including the strength of those chamber of commerce guards, Green still has a clear understanding. He knew that Queth's group of men were very strong, and any one of them could beat a large number of so-called "knights".

In addition, according to Ramsay's tradition, in the knights' jousting tournament, the final finale is a seven-man team battle. In order to win the race, which was entirely for himself, Green felt he had to pull Quies to his side.

At the very least, he had to find a way to convince Quis that he couldn't let the guards of the Scales of the Eternal Order become knights of someone else's family. Otherwise, if he wants to hold the throne of the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, he thinks it may be a bit mysterious.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Quest has arrived. The attendant trotted in. Because he knew the mood of the head of the family, he didn't follow the rules of etiquette, and directly reported the news loudly while running.

By the time Quest entered the lobby of the milk house, it had been transformed into a proper place for private banquets: roast suckling pig garnished with apples, peacocks grilled with feathers, and large pike roasted with chopped almonds were placed on a raised table, salted pork with pepper soaked in almond milk, steered chicken fried brown and crunchy with onions, mushrooms and roasted chestnuts, and cod steaks with a sweet and sour sauce were stacked tightly on the attached table. Honey-dipped white radish and strong flavor of blue ripe cheese...... These foods show the hospitality and abundance of the host's family.

Ques did not refuse, and sat down at the chief of the guests first, and after toasting with Mayor Green, he began to eat and chew happily. The flute and violin played a cheerful song, and when Quiz began to drink the pea porridge, the musicians ended their performance with amusement. The topic of the banquet naturally shifted to tomorrow's knight jousting meeting.

"I hope you can help, or at least give me a promise...... "Considering his words, Green said slowly, "...... For the sake of this meal, which should be regarded as a sumptuous reception banquet, don't become the acting knight of other mayors. ”

Picking up a dime of ale, Quest drank it down. "Never refuse to give you the best master of honey and wine," he replied to Grimm with a Ramsay proverb, "and the knight's desire for glory is not in martial arts and armor, but in choosing the right lord." ”

Seeing Green's eyes beaming, he continued, "The current actions of the gnomes are not in line with the core values inherited by the Scales of the Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce. Our goal has always been to solve the Emperor's big trouble, and they are now dividing the Ramsay Human Alliance, which has been put together with great difficulty...... They are still too naïve. Divide and suppress the Ramsey, and in the end they will not have any good fruit to eat, unless the financial system created by the dwarves will also work for the emperor. Otherwise, their current actions are tantamount to chronic suicide. It's so stupid that it's hard to add back. ”

"I've finally met someone who understands, and the money for this meal hasn't been spent in vain!" Green's excitement was beyond measure.
