Chapter 119: Calm and Relaxed Clovis
The old oak smelled danger.
As soon as the White Queen appeared, the head of House Dormond immediately hid under the city walls.
He saw with his own eyes that the white dragon spewed a long flame at the wall, setting everything above it on fire.
Old Oak was no stranger to this white dragon, and had seen it several times when he was still in Lionheart Castle.
Every time I see them, I can't help but feel how powerful and terrifying these monsters are, and I'm glad that I don't need to be enemies with them.
But the old oak now found himself rejoicing a little early.
The dragons were still so powerful and ferocious, only this time they weren't on their side anymore.
He saw a group of militia archers draw their bows in terror and shoot at the white shadow in the sky, and in the extreme fear they all became very poor, and only a few arrows hit the dragon's body.
It was easily bounced off by the hard scales, which seemed to the dragon to be similar to tickling, but it still caught its attention, so it turned around and opened its mouth, and the next moment the group of militia archers was obliterated by the flames.
There was a constant screaming from inside, but soon the screaming stopped.
Then there was a loud roar outside the city, like thunder, and the walls trembled slightly.
Old Oak saw that many of the defenders had left their positions and were running around the city like headless flies.
He also saw a familiar figure in it, and pulled him over.
"What about your great-grandfather Clovis, where is Clovis, let him come out and maintain order."
The young man was pulled by the arm, startled, and was not relieved until he saw the person in front of him.
"Lord Vilstein, didn't my great-grandfather tell you that he will not interfere in military matters, and you will be in charge of everything, and he will not lead troops to fight."
"I didn't let him lead the troops, I just asked him to come out to quell the riots, and now everyone is panicking, and if we don't wait for those people outside the city to come in, we will finish first."
"They have dragons, do you see that white dragon?!" The young man exclaimed.
"I saw it, yes, I saw it, and that's why I'm looking for Master Clovis, where is Lord Clovis now?" Old Oak said impatiently.
"I ...... I don't know, I haven't seen him in the castle for the past two days, he must be in the library. ”
"It's all this time, and he's still going to read books?" Old Oak's eyes widened.
"Mistress Clovis would go to the library whenever he had a problem, and he would always say that there would be an answer in the book."
"There's a answer in the book, those kraft rolls won't help us defeat the army out there."
"So what are we going to do?" Hearing the old oak say this, the young man panicked even more.
"Find out Clovis first, he is the head of the Figuerola family, the owner of this land, he can't stay in the library forever, at least let the people in the city know that he hasn't abandoned them and is still with them." Old Oak Road.
The young man nodded and ran towards the library.
He stumbled all the way, and collided with a group of civilians who were also running around, and fell into a mess of mud, but he didn't care about scolding the guys who didn't have long eyes, and got up from the ground and continued on his way.
Fortunately, the library was not too far from the west gate, and he soon arrived there, only to find that the guards outside the door did not know where to go.
He ran all the way into the library unimpeded.
Unlike the noisy chaos outside, it is as quiet and peaceful as ever.
Not a single person can be seen in the spacious and bright hall.
The young man shouted to Master Clovis as he hurried inside, leaving a trail of black footprints on the ground.
He went up to the second floor and saw the familiar figure in front of a row of bookshelves.
The young man said anxiously, "Lord Clovis, Lord Verstein is looking for you. ”
Clovis was holding a book and reading it at this moment, but he didn't look up when he heard it.
Seeing this, the young man could only raise his voice a little, and repeated his previous words.
Clovis glanced at him and said, "I see." ”
The young man realized that he had just lost his temper, and hurriedly bowed, but when he looked at Clovis, he found that the old man was again buried in the book in his hand, and his feet did not move.
"Lord Clovis, the lords outside the city have rebelled, they actually elected Ilea as the new master of the West, and said that they would take over Rock Snow City from us.
"They're attacking us right now, and they're using a dragon!"
Clovis frowned, a little displeased, "I didn't discuss it with Verstein before, he is in charge of military affairs, and I won't fight." ”
"But Lord Vilstein wants you to step in and use your and Figuera's prestige to keep order in the city."
As the young man spoke, he heard footsteps approaching behind him, and he turned to see that it was Rose, the captain of the guard, whose face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Lord Clovis, Vilstein has run away."
"Ran away? What does it mean to run. The young man couldn't help but ask.
"He just left from the east gate with his men." "That bastard, when he saw that the situation was not good, abandoned us. ”
The young man was so shocked by this bad news that he almost jumped up, "They just left, why didn't you stop them?" ”
"I found out that there were less than ten people around them when they fled, how could they be stopped."
"So what do we do now?" The young man was completely panicked, and could only turn his attention to Clovis for help.
It just so happened that Ross, the chief of the guard, was also looking at Clovis, waiting for his next order.
As a result, Clovis was just stunned, and then raised the book in his hand again.
"Mistress Clovis, are you still looking for answers in books?" The young man asked.
The old man shook his head, "You go find someone else to find a way, I won't leave this library again." ”
"Huh?"
"After this period of time, I found that I am not suitable for leading a family, and it is happier to read books here."
The captain of the guard and the young man were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Clovis would choose to take the burden at such a fatal time and quit.
Especially the young man, when he first saw Clovis in the library, he was still impressed by the latter's calm and relaxed, and even felt a little ashamed of his previous panic.
He said in a trembling voice, "Ke...... Are you kidding, Mistress Clovis? ”
"I'm not kidding," Clovis said, "I'm serious, I thought history had told me the answer, but it doesn't seem accurate now, but I only read, so I don't know what to do next."
"You can find someone else to make a decision, don't delay me from reading."
