Chapter Ninety-Five: Encounter

Damn, damn it! What kind of bullshit prince, isn't he just a poor creature who has been thrown into the barren mountains!" Koris thought viciously, but for the sake of the two guards following behind him with the hilt of his sword in hand, he had to swallow this evil breath into his stomach for the time being.

Walking out of the castle gate, the baron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the guards turn to leave.

He wiped his forehead with a wet handkerchief, spitting out a mouthful of spit as he imagined it smashing into the prince's face. This alone was not enough to relieve his anger, and he stomped his feet the spittle again, and his heart felt a little more comfortable.

What if you stop the evil beast, do you think you can gain a foothold in the West? Keep on and see how long you can be proud! Koris thought to himself, if he hadn't received reliable information, he wouldn't have been willing to come to the border town early. Generally speaking, the nobles would return to the town later than the commoners, after all, it was not their turn to do the hard work of mining and hunting, and they only had to go to the mines every once in a while to supervise the production and wait for the day when the ore was delivered. In your spare time, you can also visit the Orion's house to see if there are any suitable high-quality furs to buy.

But this year, things have changed, and Corris hears from the treasurer, Lord Ferrenor, that Duke Lane is preparing to drive the fourth prince out of the West, not to betray the kingdom of the Grey Keep, but to uphold the will of the new king, Tifeco Wimbleton: "Roland Wimbuton is no longer the lord of the Frontier Town, and the new realm needs to be re-canonized after returning to the royal capital. 」

Who is Lord Ferrenor, that is the red man in front of the duke, it only took five years to climb from the city council to the position of treasurer. If it weren't for the fact that he was sent two fine furs every year through the relationship of a distant relative, how could he know the thoughts of the ruler of the Western Realm.

"Return to the royal capital to report on the work and re-canonize the territory" is just a nice saying, and even Koris knows that the eldest prince has been guillotined without saying a word. The fourth prince is not at the mercy of the new king when he goes back this time?

There is no doubt that the western frontier is the western frontier of the Duke, and if it is only a unilateral order of His Majesty Tifeco, it is still open to discussion. But by the time the Duke was ready to take his own place, Roland Wimbledon was no different from a lost dog.

This is also the reason why Corris hurried to the border town, firstly, to collect some furs as soon as possible, and secondly, to get rid of the house. The first point is that he is very shrewd, in previous years, the civilians here would flee to the Changge Fortress for refuge, naturally there was no inventory, but this year they have been staying here, how can they receive a few good horses, right? Not only can they make a small profit, but they can also give Lord Ferrenor a piece of filial piety.

The second point is that Corris asked Mistress Ferrenor to arrange a seat for him at the town hall, which is an idle job, but it is better than this damn poor place. The house is not needed, of course, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Who knows when the duke will do it, if these untouchables accidentally burn down their house when they resist, it will be a big loss.

However, he never expected that the house was not burned down by the untouchables, but directly demolished by the fourth prince. Thinking of this, the baron was so angry that his teeth itched, what a good house! Although one hundred and fifty golden dragons are a bit exaggerated, thirty golden dragons are worth it.

In order to get the money as soon as possible, he returned again and again, and reluctantly accepted twenty coins, but His Highness actually treated himself like this! He didn't take out a single coin, and threatened himself with the crime of defection, didn't he know that every year in the month of demons, all the nobles would evacuate this place?

Wait a minute...... Corris slowed down, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although I had heard that the fourth prince had a bad personality before, he was clueless, and when he first arrived in the border town, he maliciously molested Baron Simon's wife, and was talked about as a joke in private for a long time, but when we met today, it didn't feel like that at all. The prince was not annoyed or angry, and his demeanor was completely incompatible with his bad personality and brainlessness. The other party has been talking to himself in a normal tone, why was he scared like that at that time, and obediently gave up the ownership of the house? Could it be that it was his own to bite the house to death, and His Royal Highness the Prince could really kill him?

That's right...... Koris shuddered, and the sweat on his forehead shrank back. In retrospect, when he faced the prince, he had the illusion that he was talking to the duke.

The baron shook his head vigorously, tossing the unpleasant memory out of his mind. Anyway, the fourth prince won't be proud for a few days, and when Lord Lane returns the border town to rule and escorts Roland Wimbledon to the royal capital, he will have to laugh at him. Maybe these twenty golden dragons can still ask the Duke to seek justice for him.

Thinking of this, he relaxed again, since Fur had received a few good goods, and the house didn't need to be sold, he simply went back to the fortress. It's too pretentious to say "tell those nobles who will have the same misunderstanding", and when he returns to the Changge Fortress, he has to imitate it for everyone, so that everyone can see what it means to be a bluffer.

Leaving the castle district and walking down the long slope, Curris brushes shoulders with a hooded woman.

Originally, there was nothing strange about this, but among the townspeople who came and went, the women were dressed like this. If you want to see a beautiful lady or lady, you have to go to the royal capital. But when a gust of wind blew the corner of the woman's hood, Curris felt his heart skip a beat, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

Oh my God, what kind of woman is that, with a rare long turquoise hair, just revealing a momentary appearance is already stunning, even if it is placed in the Gray Castle Royal Capital, it will overshadow those so-called princesses and celebrities, such a person will appear in the border town?

He turned around to catch up to see what was going on, only to find that the other party was walking towards the castle area.

Is this the woman of His Royal Highness the Prince? The Baron hesitated, and finally chose to give up. He really didn't want to deal with the fourth prince anymore, so he had better leave such wicked people to the Duke to clean up, and he had better go back to the fortress as soon as possible.

Boarding his own dhow from the pier, the boatman pulled up the sails, and the boat quickly left the dock and headed for the Changge Fortress.

On the way back, Curris, who was sitting on the bow of the boat basking in the sun, also saw a strange scene.

In the snow about five miles from the border town, a large group of people appeared in his field of vision—dressed in the same dark brown leather armor and carrying long wooden spears behind them, slowly walking in long formations through the snow. Although the whole team could not be seen through a layer of woods, there were at least more than 100 people.

This is...... The farmer that the Four Princes used to fight against the Evil Beast?

At the beginning of the month before the snow melts, the overland road is inaccessible, and how difficult it is to hike through the snow is something that Koris can imagine without trying. And the gang all hurried away with their heads bowed, as if they were ignoring the snow nearly a foot deep under their feet......

He wanted to laugh twice, but found that he couldn't laugh out loud. A question unconsciously rose from the bottom of my heart, can the knights under Lord Ryan do this?
