Despite the many disasters that have taken place on the continent over the past few months, spring has arrived as expected.

As the weather warms and the snow melts, the land comes to life again.

At this time of the year, the nobles of Rock Snow City would go out of the city to hunt together.

This is not only a recreation for them to start the year, but also an important way of socializing in high society.

This year, however, the tradition seems to have disappeared, and there are far fewer people going out of town to hunt.

Especially today, the gates of Rock Snow City were still closed until noon, and the residents of the city also closed their doors and windows, and the streets were empty.

After Gwen's death, he was temporarily succeeded by Clovis the "Writer", who is two hundred and seventy-nine years old this year and the grandfather of the late former city lord Cullen.

It is rumored that he was chosen to be the next head of the Figuerola family, but he himself had always been obsessed with literature and poetry, and was not interested in power, so he gave up this position to his son.

He concentrated on writing poetry and repairing history, and later simply moved into the library, until the news of Gwen's death came back, and the Figuerola family invited him out of the library again to preside over the overall situation.

Now Clovis stood on crutches in the largest square in the city, and behind him was Romero, the treasurer, and Brian, the sheriff...... All of them were the great nobles of the city.

Everyone except Clovis was looking east with their heads tilted, they had been standing here for a long time, their necks were sore, and yet the person they had been waiting for showed up.

Someone couldn't help but complain, "That guy is too much, obviously he made an appointment early in the morning, but he hasn't come yet." ”

The other nobles also felt the same way, in the past, only others were waiting for their share, and many of them were being hung here for the first time.

Anger, humiliation, unwillingness...... Many complex emotions came to their minds.

However, when that huge figure really appeared in the sky above Rock Snow City, there was only one feeling left in their hearts, and that was fear.

The monster in the sky brought back painful memories for many of the previous ones, and this time the dragon was noticeably larger than the previous one, and its body was twice the size of the previous black dragon.

The whole body is silvery-white, and the wings are spread out as if to block out the sun.

Many of the nobles present couldn't help but swallow their saliva after seeing it.

Eventually, the white dragon circled twice over Rock Snow City and landed in the square.

Then it opened its mouth and let out a growl at the humans at its feet.

The nobles in the square changed color, and some turned around and tried to escape.

Fortunately, the dragon did not make a substantial attack after that, but hung its head.

Lanita let out a chuckle and looked at Iwan behind her, "Are you okay?" ”

Iwan's face was now pale, and he looked like he was going to vomit at any moment.

He didn't expect the dragon ride to be so uncomfortable, it took them less than six days to fly all the way from Lionheart to the West, but the process in between was like a nightmare.

The cold wind blew on his body, comparable to a knife, and in just a moment, the hands of the former intelligence chief were frostbitten, and he quickly put on gloves and wrapped himself in a blanket.

And the bumps on the road were beyond his imagination, the white dragon did not fly straight, it would rise or fall from time to time, and occasionally dive.

If he hadn't asked someone to tie himself to the dragon's back with a rope in advance, Iwan would have been thrown off long ago.

All in all, this trip to the Western Frontier cost the former intelligence director half his life.

His stomach was now churning upside down, and he couldn't hold back anymore after getting off the dragon's back, so he vomited in front of everyone.

Lanita looked at her with a smile on the side, "I heard that the nobles here are very polite, isn't it rude for you to do this?" ”

After Iwan spit it out, he finally felt a little better, took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said to Clovis, "I'm sorry, Lord Clovis, I lost my temper." ”

Clovis nodded, "I've got someone to get water to rinse your mouth, and a new robe, we can talk about it after you've changed your clothes." ”

"Thank you." Iwan said gratefully.

He took clean clothes from one of the attendants, went to the side to find a room to change into, and when he came back, his face was back to normal.

Introducing the crowd, "This is the ...... Lord Solomon's envoy, Lord Lanita. ”

Ewan then introduces Lanita to Clovis.

"Is he the one in charge here?"

Lanita looked Clovis up and down, and when the White Queen roared just now, only this old man did not change his face and did not move, which left a deep impression on her.

"That's right."

"Then come and help me translate, and ask him if he has read the letter of their master?"

Iwan bowed slightly, but before he could speak, Clovis took the first step to speak, "Lord Iwan, can you ask first, what is your identity now?" ”

The former intelligence chief was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, "I am Lord Solomon's newly appointed Imperial Minister and his advisor.

"This time, I am responsible for accompanying Lord Lanita to the West, acting as a translator for her, and communicating about the surrender, you must have read the letter before."

Clovis nodded, "I've seen it, and I've had someone identify the handwriting to confirm that the letter is indeed from the current head of the Figuerola family." ”

"Sir Huls has agreed to this surrender, and Lord Solomon has heard that your family's original fiefdom is in the North.

"After your ancestors assisted Alessandro the Angry Lion in pacifying the Western Frontier, Alessandro exchanged the Western Frontier for your original fiefdom.

"Lord Solomon learned of this and decided to return your original fiefdom to you."

"And what about the conditions?" There was no joy on Clovis's face.

"You give up your current territory." Iwan said, "And when Solomon's lords attack the north, you will also send troops to help." ”

The former intelligence chief had been watching Clovis's face when he said this, and if the situation was not good, he planned to flee back to the dragon's back.

However, Clovis's face was calm throughout, "Hulse has promised you, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Then it seems that Lord Solomon's order, I have no reason to refuse it."

"Your Excellency......" Before Clovis could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person behind him, "The stakes are high, don't rush to agree yet, let's discuss it again." ”

Other nobles chimed in.

Although they are vassals of the Figuerola family, most of them have been in the West for generations and do not want to leave here.

"What else is there to discuss." Clovis's gaze swept over everyone present, "Do you want to fight those Wing Clansmen?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the square instantly fell silent.
