The mage arrives

After Dellington finished speaking, the knights behind him also cast strange glances at Gordon.

Hearing that Derlington seemed to have something in his words, Gordon felt more and more that Fallia had a special relationship with him.

"Gordon is my friend, that's all." Faria explained in the shortest sentence, and then she showed a rather impatient expression: "I think you should go to meet Ms. Bishop quickly, not here entanglement."

Facing such an almost blunt expulsion order, Dellington was not angry. He just raised his chin gracefully and showed a charming smile: "Faliya, you are right, we will save the old things for later. Then leave Alright, two."

The handsome knight then turned around and ordered: "Dismount all, and show off your honor as the pioneer knights of the Winter Claw Legion!"

Accompanied by a burst of "cracking" armor, all the knights dismounted from their horses, lined up neatly, and walked into the barracks.

People say "proud soldiers and brave generals".Generally speaking, those elite soldiers have a lot of temper and are used to arrogance.But this Dellington knight was different. He restrained the elite knights under him very well, and did not gallop his horse in the barracks.Facing a mob composed of noble private soldiers and temporarily conscripted civilians, it seemed that this Durrington was not easy to maintain such discipline.

At least, in terms of saving face, he has done a good job and won't be caught by others.

It seemed that there was some force on this morning that was deliberately trying to prevent Gordon from having a good breakfast.Not long after Derlington left, he and Faria hadn't reached the kitchen next to the supply camp when they were stopped again.

"Master Gordon...Miss Falia..."

Gordon looked at the panting and hurried soldier in front of him. His face was familiar and he was often seen around Ms. Bishop.

"I am Ms. Bishop's bodyguard." The soldier explained briefly. "I also invite the two of you to go to the lady's tent and attend the meeting."

"A meeting? Didn't we already have a meeting after the battle last night? Could it be that something happened after only one night? Could it be that there was some new news brought by Derlington just now?"

"It's not that little boy from the Winter Claw Legion." The soldier didn't seem to have a good impression of the handsome knight, and let out a muffled snort of disdain, "However, someone did bring new news."

He paused, and said solemnly: "My lord is here."

"Lord Antaello?" Gordon wondered.

"He?" Faliya's eyebrows were also slightly raised in surprise.

Gao registered that this high-ranking Grand Duke was away on business, so that when their autumn hunting team encountered a demon attack in the Cold Mist Mountains, they were too far away to take timely measures.Unexpectedly, the war had just ended.He returned to the Far Frost Province.Unlike the Winter Claw Legion, who rode thousands of miles on their war horses to help, the Lord of Scepter probably drove over directly with a portal.

Gordon and Faria looked at each other, nodded, and followed Ms. Bishop's guard into the tent.

Wearing a golden silk magic robe.Holding the platinum scepter in his hand, Grand Duke Rob Antello tapped rhythmically on the table.Sit upright in the center of the big tent.Like a real general before.Ms. Bishop, who commanded the human motley army to break out of the encirclement, fought bloody battles with the demons, and finally won, seems to have resumed her own job at this time, standing upright behind the Grand Duke like an ordinary guard.The right hand rests slightly on the hilt of the sword, keeping vigilance.

Behind An Tailuo are four men wearing silver silk magic robes.One of them was Yolande Dumic, the chief mage under the Grand Duke's command, whom Gordon had dealt with before.Member of the Austrian Federation.Although Gordon had never met the other three, judging from the magic aura they inadvertently revealed, they should also be high-level mages with extraordinary accomplishments.

Other nobles, including Derrington who just arrived this morning, were on the left and right.All of them bowed their heads in silence, not even daring to vent their anger—the might of the Scepter Lord was evident.

That's right, Rob Antello can be a kind and open-minded elder in front of Gordon, but he must maintain his majesty in front of these nobles, otherwise how will he rule this land?

"You two are here." The Scepter Lord glanced at the two young men who had just entered.

Gordon saluted: "Yes, Lord Antaello."

"...Father..." Faliya hesitated, and a word popped out of her mouth.

Everyone present was taken aback.The gossip about the feud between the father and daughter of the Grand Duke's family is a "secret" known to all the nobles in the North. In the past, no one had ever heard Faria call Antaello in any public occasion where the father and daughter had to appear together. Say "Father".Those nobles who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Lord of Scepters often joked about this in private: Even if Rob Antello could conquer all the beauties in the world, he would have nothing to do with his own daughter.

Although the ability to hide emotions and anger has long been practiced to perfection, the lord of the scepter still opened his lips slightly, showing a look of surprise.He was stunned for a rare moment in front of everyone, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Daughter, you have worked hard."

Afterwards, Rob Antello glanced at Gordon again, full of gratitude.

"This... did he misunderstand something..."

When the autumn hunt began, the Grand Duke asked Gordon to take care of his only daughter.To be honest, he did not complete this task perfectly.Not only dragged this young lady to fight the black dragon, but even almost killed her.Although the result was gratifying, the process at the time was extremely thrilling.Now Faliya's attitude towards her father has changed, mostly because she had an epiphany when she was dying, and it has nothing to do with him at all.But the Grand Duke misunderstood it, thinking that it was his own persuasion.

Of course, Gordon didn't know that his words did have an effect on Faliya's attitude towards her father, so she still felt a little guilty about being rewarded for nothing.

Lord Antaello didn't care about these trivial matters. He waved his hand and told Gordon and Faliya to stand by Dawn's side, and then turned the topic to serious matters: "I have a general understanding of what happened during this autumn hunt. You are able to fight bloody battles against demons, worthy of the glory of the empire, and worthy of the favor of the Dragon God. Your Majesty already knows about this, and the special envoy will be on the road after the preparations for the imperial capital are completed."

The implication is that I have reported your contributions to the emperor, and everyone is waiting to reward you for your achievements.

The nobles all smiled.

"However..." Antaello changed the subject, "The invasion of demons is an extremely serious incident. The empire must thoroughly investigate the cause and the result, and every detail must be taken care of. The Temple of Dawn, the Temple of Platinum, and Elasi Sri Lanka's law enforcement officers will participate in the investigation..."

The nobles, who were still in high spirits just now, looked bitter when they thought of facing the repeated investigation and questioning of the temple, and some even had a bad temper. For example, the three Lambertoni brothers with barbarian blood had already cursed in a low voice. foul language.

Even if they are all innocent, even if the priests and arbitrators of the temple dare not disrespect the nobles, those endless investigations and conversations will still make people peel off.

Gordon quietly looked at Earl Thompson in front of him, and found that the old guy was quite calm, with his eyes closed calmly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.I'm afraid he thought what he was doing was perfect.He still doesn't know that Xiona is not dead yet.

"Okay!" The lord of the scepter pressed his hands empty, and the noisy conversation in the tent immediately disappeared, and fell into silence again. "Everyone is a hero of the empire, and the investigation is just a routine matter, so don't worry too much. This time I came here through the portal. First, I want the mage group to investigate the battlefield, and second, I have some private matters. Gordon You stay, and everyone else please go back. The main force of the Winter Claw Legion will arrive in the afternoon, and then everyone can set off."

The nobles finally showed expressions of relief at the thought of leaving this damned desolate mountain where they had suffered so much.Then, they cast admiring glances at Gordon—even Falia didn't have the chance to be alone with the Grand Duke, so Gordon was able to talk with the Grand Duke in private, how important this is!

Knight Dellington gave Gordon a meaningful look, and left with the crowd.

Gordon couldn't care less about these trifles now.Seeing that Earl Thompson was about to walk out of the tent, he deliberately raised his voice, and said to the lord of the scepter: "Master Antaello, my sister Xiona was seriously injured and unconscious. Can you think of a way to get her to go to bed sooner?" Go back to Clear Water City and receive treatment."

"Is your sister injured? No problem, I'll open a portal later and let her go back with you..."

"Thank you so much, my lord."

While talking to the Lord of Wands, Gordon took the opportunity to glance at Earl Thompson, and found that the other party's footsteps hesitated obviously.

Very good, it seems that the conversation between myself and the Grand Duke has been heard clearly by the other party.

Earl Thompson thought that what he did last night was clean and neat, leaving no future troubles, so he behaved very calmly.However, if he knew that Xiona was still alive, he would be terrified and panicked, and would want to take measures to completely eliminate the hidden danger...

Earl Thompson, a veteran aristocrat with entangled forces, would have a hard time relying on Gordon's strength to take the initiative to defeat him.But if the opponent takes the initiative to attack, it will be much easier.One move will inevitably reveal flaws.Only by grasping the flaw, Gordon had a chance to stab that fatal sword.

When there were only two people left in the tent, the lord of the scepter said in a more serious and cautious tone: "I left the Far Frost Province this time and found some things. The incident at the Elf Castle last day still This demonic invasion is all related to this. Something big is about to happen.” (To be continued..)
