"I didn't scare you, father, he is usually very talkative, only in formal occasions is so serious, do you want to change your clothes first, eat something, the banquet will take a while before it starts, I will come to you later, alas, this ghost weather, I estimate that the rain will not stop for a while and a half. Mo Nan forcibly found a topic, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"yes, the rain won't stop for a while. ”

Mo Ling'er looked absentmindedly at the continuous rain outside the corridor window, there was obviously no wind in the castle, but there was an indescribable cold, through the wall, making people tremble in their hearts.

After Mo Nan arranged the room and residence, he specially asked a maid to follow Mo Ling'er, Sunset Castle is not small, if you are not familiar with it, it is easy to get lost, he has no time to accompany Mo Ling'er now, his father is still waiting for him, after solving these things, he can only spare time after the banquet officially begins.

"This damn weather, my mood has also deteriorated. ”

Mo Nan complained a few words, took the towel from the servant's hand, dried his hair, changed into a black dress, and let out a long breath, finally a lot drier.

"Young master, I heard that there are guests coming today, so he must be a big person. The maid stood behind Mo Nan and straightened his clothes, smoothing out every wrinkle.

"Haha, isn't it, the bloodthirsty ice wolf, the guardian of the northern realm, the people of the Nuo family, of course they are big shots, this is a bigger figure than the royal family, who dares to treat it lightly?" Mo Nan said with a smile.

"Is it Duke Nolan?"

"How is it possible, Duke Nolan is serving as the former minister of the North Wind City, there are too many things to deal with, how can he have time to come to my Sunset City, it should be Lord Nohe, the younger brother of Duke Nolan, but don't underestimate Nohe, although he is not a prince, if it comes to leading troops to fight, no one in the North Ye Country is outstanding, according to legend, he is a soul warrior, because he refuses to be entitled, so far there is only one knight title, but when it comes to his other name, you must have heard of it, Ice Plains Sword Hero. ”

Mo Nan's words were full of longing, Nohe was the idol of the younger generation, he could easily defeat a hundred royal guards with a tree branch, and according to legend, he even fought with a dragon, and the Ice Plains Sword Hero was a great knight who was not influenced by fame and fortune and always upheld the spirit of chivalry.

"Lord Nohe is the Ice Plains Sword Master?"

The maid exclaimed in disbelief, of course she had heard of this name, who in the Northern Ye Kingdom did not know the Ice Plains Sword Hao, but this person was actually Duke Nolan's younger brother Nohe, which she could never have imagined.

"Of course you don't know, I also heard from my father, he hasn't appeared since the Battle of Pacification, and the people who saw him back then are as old as my father even if they didn't die, and even I haven't seen this legendary swordsman with my own eyes, let alone you. Mo Nan said with a smile.

"Young Master, that ...... Isn't there going to be a banquet later, can I ......" The maid stopped talking, she also wanted to see with her own eyes what this living legend was like.

"It's okay to go if you want, you can go to the kitchen to help serve the food later, just say that I asked you to go, okay, don't think too much, he is a legendary swordsman, even if he doesn't have a wife, you won't expect him to fall in love with you at first sight, let's go." Mo Nan helplessly stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her face, and walked out with a wry smile.

"Eh, young master, your sword. ”

"Just leave it there, can this kind of thing be called a sword? Don't bring it over and make the swordsman laugh, besides, you think I'm going to war, it's just a banquet." Mo Nan waved his hand without looking back.

......

More than twenty horses came towards Sunset Castle, the man at the head rode on a white horse, he did not wear a poncho, not even armor, his thin clothes had long been wet by the rain, and his half-length white hair was tied back at will, for him, armor meant nothing, and so did the poncho, he had long been accustomed to this level of cold.

In front of Sunset Castle, Mo Lan quietly waited for his arrival with his heirs, each of them wrapped in a heavy woolen cloak and holding a black umbrella, Mo Nan couldn't help but feel a little nervous, no need to guess to know, that white-haired man was the rumored Ice Plains Sword Hero, but where was his sword?

"After all this time, this place is still as cold as ever. Noch glanced at them, flipped off his horse, and the man behind him walked down.

Mo Nan only felt a suffocating sense of oppression rushing to his face, and the hand holding the umbrella couldn't help but tremble slightly, this is the temperament of a long-time killer, it only needs a glance to see.

"Lord Nohe laughed, Sunset City is like this, it rains all year round, even in summer, it is not warm, but it is more humid, fortunately my body is still strong enough, I don't have any gout, otherwise I wouldn't have lived for so many years, I thought that with such a heavy rain, you might arrive at night. Moran said with a smile.

"I've seen no matter how heavy the rain is, this little rain can't hold me back, but Lord Moran, why do you come out to greet me in this weather, I'm just a knight, and I can't afford to be greeted by Lord Earl in person. Nohe said indifferently.

The sarcasm in these words could be heard by anyone, but no one dared to refute half a sentence, just a knight, who did not know his name, not to mention that Moran was just an earl, even if His Majesty Ye Bei welcomed him in person, he deserved it.

"Hehe, how can the mere earl compare to the legend of the Ice Plains Sword Hero, Lord Nohe still loves to joke as always, you have been tired all the way, you must be tired, I have arranged a residence, there will be a banquet for less, plenty of wine and delicious food, everyone can raise a glass and drink to their heart's content. Moran calmly avoided the thorn in Nohe's words.

He knew very well in his heart that Nohe had a deep prejudice against himself, and he was not accustomed to his own methods in the early years of the pacification war, and even if the two were in the same camp, there were often contradictions.

Nohe sneered, did not answer, and turned his head to look at the soldiers encamped on the other side of the river, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Lord Nohe, I'm really sorry, although I have three castles, I still can't accommodate your wolves, so please camp them on the other side of the river first, I will have people send food and grass, and I will never treat your men and horses badly, please come in with me now, the banquet is about to begin." Moran assured.

"Lord Moran has thought very well, they have come a long way, they are sleepy and tired, and they need to rest urgently, and I thank you on behalf of my subordinates for your kindness. ”

The person who answered was an old man, with only a few gray hairs on the top of his head, but his figure was tall and muscular, his beard was as sharp as a steel needle, his black armor was carved with the totem of the ice wolf, and the sword at his waist was a palm's width, and Mo Nan's decorative sword was as slender as a sewing needle compared to it.

"Sir Dain, after all these years, you still look as strong as ever, unlike me, who has become an old man who spends all day by the stove, and I have been in this place for more than ten years, but I still don't adapt to the weather, cold and damp like a rat's nest. Moran's hoarse voice was like metal scraping the ground, making people uncomfortable when they heard it.

These people in front of them are all old acquaintances, needless to say, Nohe, the famous Ice Plains swordsman, is a living legend, Sir Dain, Sir Jos and his wife Elsie are the mainstay of the Noh family, and the taciturn Adam, still carrying a heavy iron box, according to legend, he is Nohe's swordsman, but no one has seen him make a move, only know that Nohe will go wherever he goes.

Except for the five of them, the rest are all vassal lords under the command of the Nuo family, and 100,000 of the 200,000 soldiers were brought by them, including many mercenaries, and in terms of people alone, they will definitely not lose to the royal family.

"Don't say any polite words, Lord Moran, you should know what we're here for, how did you think about your previous proposal? I don't think more than ten years will wear out your wisdom. ”

Mrs. Elsie took off her poncho hood, her long brown hair glued to her pretty face, no one could tell that she was in her forties, her green eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and she looked at Moran with a smile.

"Let's talk about it later, I've had enough of this rain, I just want to take a hot shower, drink a few sips of ale, and fall asleep, are you okay?"

Jos was fed up with the rainy and continuous ghost weather along the way, and the whole person couldn't lift his energy, he only felt that he and the sword in the sheath were about to rust, and it only took three days to take the train from White Wolf City to North Wind City, but there were so many of them, how could they take a car, there were not so many horses, and they hurried to hurry up for almost a month before they arrived in Sunset City.

"I agree, Jos is right, it's raining endlessly, I can keep fish in my pants, Brother Moran, you can take us in. ”

The fat Sir Rosso writhed uncomfortably, his armor could not contain his fat, and he made a creaking sound, he had a pimple, he looked like a toad, and the long sword at his waist was warped with his exaggerated movements, but no one dared to underestimate him, because this fat man was also an earl, the master of Ice Salt Island, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command.

"Haha, Lord Rosso, your armor doesn't fit well, I'll have someone re-customize it for you tomorrow to ensure that it's sturdy and comfortable, it's not too early, you guys go in with me first, take a shower, change into dry clothes, and a few sips of ale wine are better than anything else." Moran laughed a few times and turned to walk towards Sunset Castle.

"Let's go, we'll talk about that later. ”

Jos greeted him, and the first one followed, and he didn't care about Elsie's somewhat ugly face, Moran's words were extremely tempting to him.

Nohe nodded expressionlessly, he didn't care what tricks Moran played, 200,000 soldiers were stationed on the edge of Sunset Castle, even if he Moran turned his face on the spot, not to mention that the name of Ice Plains Sword Hao was not just nice to say.
