"What's the matter?"

Selin's face showed a kind and kind smile like that of an elder, and there was only a smile as clear as water in her crooked eyes, I don't know if she didn't hear what the two children were talking about, or if she was too good at pretending......

"Sey, Lord Selin?" Aisha panicked, "Lord Selin, is he still at the station?"

"Well, yes. Selin explained in a soft tone, "I've just finished getting those puppets, and I'm resting in the house right now, ah, why don't you come in first?"

She turned to the side with a natural demeanor and waved her hand in a gesture of invitation.

Ivan stared at Serin's side face in a daze, without a trace of panicked composure, but it made Ivan's heart go up and down for a while, and he couldn't help but think back to the girl who always kept her head down.

The girl said that John was with King Vincent, and Selin was there, so what the meaning of this sentence was that Seling lied to them......

Suddenly, the sound of Aisha taking a deep breath sounded in her ears, and after exhaling her breath violently, Aisha stepped forward.

"Well, that's a coincidence!" Isha's voice was so sharp that it was too obvious, "Ivan and I just happened to have something to ask Master Selin for help." We, huh...... We want to see His Majesty the King, because, yes, there is something important...... Love ......"

Aisha had a far-fetched smile on her face, and even her words seemed to be squeezed out of her throat. It's too bad! It's better not to talk like this! Not to mention Selin, who is the judge of the Wizard Alliance, even Ivan can see that Eisha is very wrong now. He hurried over and slightly blocked up in front of Aisha.

"Well, I'm sorry Lord Selin, it's not really urgent......

That doesn't seem like an appropriate explanation.

Sure enough, before he could finish his sentence, the soft smile on Selin's face turned into a slightly surprised bewilderment, and Ivan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Because I happen to know someone who might have something to do with His Majesty Vincent—"

"Oh, that's right. ”

Cold sweat seeped out from Ivan's forehead, and in a hurry, he seemed to confess to His Highness Rey, who did not know where he was. However, if John is next to King Vincent, it is no problem to think of that person as John, so this is not a lie. Selin's expression softened a little, and she slowly looked away.

"His Majesty Vincent is now with General Remy Thames. In this case, I will write you a letter of introduction first, and in the afternoon you can take this letter of introduction directly to the barracks in the northwest corner, and I may have to be busy for a while. ”

Located in the northwest corner of Price City, the building looks like a classical fortress at first glance.

In front of the low barracks, there is a watchtower with a snow-proof spire, showing the vicissitudes of time unique to the northern fortress.

Because of the mountainous terrain, this watchtower occupies the best position and has a very wide view. To the north, you don't need a telescope to see the coniferous forests across Price Bay, which are shrouded in a silvery white silence by the bitter winter cold. The water of Price Bay rumbled against the banks of the river, and a solemn silver waterfall poured down from the mountain tops to the northwest, and cold mist flew into the sky.

Under the watchtower, the wide walls were already lined with soldiers with heavy shields, the magic crystal cannons were ready to attack, and there were many metal and hardwood traps under the walls, as if they were still the same as before—they couldn't rely on new magic, they could only rely on these things and the spears of warriors to guard the old days of the city.

When Vincent Mitchell Electrics saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile bitterly with a deep meaning.

Since Vincent led his army into the already chaotic royal city more than two years ago, ending the rule of his brother Charles, the entire kingdom of Aura has begun to enter a new era. The cooperation with the Wizard Alliance and the old enemy of the Kingdom of Phatland has allowed many people to live a more prosperous and down-to-earth life. The Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal mined in the Aura Kingdom has also brought huge benefits to this country. The light of the magic crystal lamp illuminates many large and medium-sized cities, illuminates many nobles and large families, and one day it will be all over the streets and alleys like other countries. However, perhaps because of the deep-rooted traditional thinking, many people still can't fully accept things that are too novel.

So this battle with the demons, in a sense, is also an opportunity for him and the Demon Alliance to show people the new magic power. Coupled with the fact that the other party is very likely to be the seventh demon general, Sloth, presumably at this time, Vincent will not be able to sit on the throne of the palace safely.

On his first day in Price, Vincent dressed in a military uniform and climbed the city walls himself, declaring victory to all the soldiers. His Majesty the King is here, and the soldiers who are afraid of Sloth will probably have a lot of confidence.

Price City is a fortified city built a long time ago.

At that time, there were no demons in the north, and the purpose of building the fortress was mainly to guard against the beasts and bandits on the Banhar Snow Field, as well as the Nome clan in the Aurora Mountains. It can be said that once the city of Price is gone, the enemy can directly invade the hinterland of the kingdom of Aura through a straight road. However, because the beast herd and the gang of thieves do not pose much of a threat to the kingdom of Aura with a regular army, and Nome has never been at war with humans for thousands of years, the north of the kingdom of Aura is actually quite safe.

However, in recent decades, there have been frequent sporadic monster attacks.

It's the first time to face a demon army like this. As a king who had just been in power for more than two years, Vincent felt that it was his duty to come forward to stabilize the morale of the army.

"There doesn't seem to be any movement on the demon side......

Dressed in a white gold-rimmed hunting suit blown up by the wind high in the air, Vincent stood in a dangerous position, looking into the distance through the lookout. The sentinels were neatly arranged on both sides, and no one dared to breathe a sigh of air. Two paces away from him, an officer of about forty years of age turned pale.

"I've heard that Sloes is a very interesting opponent who never cares about losses and never plays by the rules. Four years ago, she sent an elite force to attack the Messiah Island, retreated without much benefit, and never landed on the island again. Hehe, I was still in Yellin at the time, and when I heard about this, I didn't figure out what Sloth's purpose was for a long time. ”

Vincent is actually a very kind person.

At least from the outside, he doesn't look like a cruel monarch who staged a coup d'état and completely purged Charles and his cronies in the first place, and he doesn't even look like someone who has seen blood in battle. Silk hair hung down on the shoulders, warm color reminiscent of fine black tea, turquoise eyes, always with a kind and gentle smile, handsome and gentle face could almost make most aristocratic girls fall in love at first sight, ignoring the fact that he was over forty years old. At this point, he turned his head with a complacent expression and smiled at the officer.

"Your Majesty, that's what you're talking about. ”

The officer stood with his head bowed, as if he did not know what to do.

However, such a calm is very unsettling. ”

Vincent turned and took a few steps inside, "Our soldiers can't scout the northern forests in depth, and I can't settle down until the Flying Puppet arrives. He raised his hand to his chest. The officer stiffened his head.

"The puppets have arrived, and they will all be in the best shape by tonight. ”

"Thank you, you've worked hard, General Thames. ”

Vincent's usual gentle voice was so gentle that the Thames general could not make up his mind, and if he had done so, His Majesty should not have come up to the watchtower, but stayed in a safe place. Although he was the first general to be promoted by Vincent in the past two years, he was often troubled by the fact that he could not guess the thoughts of His Majesty the King.

Although on the surface, Vincent trusted him, perhaps it was some kind of intuition...... Every time he saw Vincent, he felt as if the man had isolated himself from everyone else, and would never trust anyone.

Vincent, who ascended the watchtower, brought only one knight with him as a personal guard, and the knight was standing straight in the doorway, looking like a sculpture.

Every time Thames caught a glimpse of the markings on the knight's armor out of the corner of his eye, he was reminded of something unsettling.

It is said that King Vincent once cleaned up all the Knights of the Guard, who guarded the royal family, and even their families were spared. The current Knights of the Guards can be said to be all loyal subordinates who followed Vincent in the past. Perhaps from Vincent's point of view, it is understandable that he would do so, and King Charles would never have been more merciful than he was. However, the fact that such a king remained in the camp where he was stationed really made him ...... It's hard to sleep.

Without an old friend to cheer him on, Thames felt that sooner or later he would have been driven mad by the pressure.

"Report!"

While Thames was racking his brains about how to respond, a sentry appeared before Vincent and Thames.

The sentry walked briskly up the stairs, stood upright, saluted, and held a white letter in both hands.

"This is a letter from Miss Caterina Serin. ”

Vincent's eyes lit up, and the knight took the letter and presented it to Vincent with both hands. That's right, this is indeed the letter of Miss Selin, the Inquisitor of the Wizard Alliance, with the magic runes left by the Vermilion Badge on it, and the clearly recognizable two-wheeled pentagram is a symbol of the most powerful power in the Paran Continent.

"Your Majesty has official business, so it's better to go to the command room below first......" Thames hurriedly seized this opportunity, hoping that Vincent could leave the watchtower early. Vincent, however, shook his head decisively.

"It's okay, I love this place. Vincent said, opening the letter with his hand, "Oh?

General Thames looked at Vincent's face with a look of interest, and by this time, Vincent had finished reading the letter, and he turned his head.

"General, go back first. Go and bring those two magicians, I'd love to meet the legendary 'him' too. ”

He smiled at the sentry.
