Chapter 166, the fangs of the "gray dove".
After the Duke of Grey Dove had toured the airship up and down, Essos followed him to the castle's parlour.
Horay instructed the maid to take Miss Sophia down to rest first, while he put on a silver-gray fur cloak and casually stretched out his hand to signal the other party to take a seat.
And he himself sat down on the master's chair very casually, and put one foot on the chair.
The duke's expression was languid and his posture was casual. Yes, in addition to trying his best to pretend to be a gentleman in front of the blind girl Sophia, this gray pigeon duke does not talk about etiquette in front of others, and even saves the effort of pretending on the surface.
His expression was grim, and his gaze was even more chilling. The two thin lips always open and close with the smallest amplitude between words, and it seems that opening his mouth wider to speak will make him feel extremely troublesome and troublesome.
Although Essos followed the Duke of Hayne, he was accustomed to seeing celebrities, magnates and lords from all over the world. But I have to say that this Duke of Grey Pigeon is really a unique outlier among them!
"Dear Duke, this is the airship maintenance manual that Lord Hain asked me to bring, as well as a schematic diagram of the principle of flight. At your request, Lord Hayne has also added a thick layer of iron plates to the bottom of the cabin for protection. I have to say that even Lord Hain's big deal this time hasn't encountered it in years! I remember the last time I spent 10,000 gold coins on him in one go, it was the 'Octopus' Provence. ”
Horay didn't answer his words, but drooped his eyelids and said lightly: "About the final payment.... In a moment, my chief knight will take you to get it. Also, bring me a message to that old guy in Hain.... If he dares to extort this account from me, I will write it down for him, and if he does not think of how to compensate me before the beginning of next spring, I will personally go to Port Rousseau to present my compensation list.... I do what I say. ”
"You!"
Essos scrambled to his feet, but halfway up he took a deep breath and sat down slowly.
Because he knows whose territory it is, and what kind of adult it is!
At the same time, Essos saw a terrifying face in the shadows behind the gray-haired Sir Horay!
The man's whole body was curled up in a black robe, revealing only half of his face that looked like a dried corpse.
He knew that this was probably the chief alchemist of the Duke of Gray Dove, the great alchemist known as the "living dead", --- Elizhe!
Essos gritted his teeth secretly, but finally slowly lowered his head and replied, "I will bring your words to you, Lord Duke." ”
After saying what he wanted to say, the Duke of Gray Pigeon waved his hand happily, signaling that the other party could leave on his own.
Essos stooped back, fleeing from the gloomy castle he never wanted to come again! I would never want to see this gloomy duke with an unfathomable personality! As for the words addressed to Sir Hain? Ghosts are willing to pass on! He doesn't want to touch his own adult's mold!
Sending away the Grand Butler of Sir Hain, the Great Alchemist of the Living Dead behind Horray moved his body and emerged from the shadows.
"My lord...."
His voice was harsh and hoarse, giving people goosebumps when they heard it.
If it is paired with the cold voice of the Duke of Gray Dove, it is really a perfect match.
"You just drove away that big butler from Hain, are you planning to completely turn your face with the other party?"
The gray pigeon Horay snorted coldly, reached out and put the pestle on the armrest of the seat, and lazily propped up his head.
"Anyway, I already have what I want, and the greedy merchant has no value to use... He's earned enough gold from me, and it's time for me to collect some interest. ”
"What do you mean...."
Huo Lei's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "That's right, build a knight order in the air." I'm going to use it to open this gap northwest of Holger, and I can't let this threatening neighbor go any further. Today, the spies reported that our old adversary, Sunflower, seems to have personally led his troops to the Eastern Front. And the location from which he departed .... It seems to be the owner of the Magic Forest, Kloseholger. These three brothers are really interesting .... Obviously, they each have strong strength, but they are still happy to fight in the nest.... But the harder they fight, the better it will be for us... From today onwards, that airship will be handed over to you. Install the ancient weapons we found in the ruins, and I'm going to use Sunflower's Castle to test how powerful it really is. ”
"As you wish, my lord."
The Great Alchemist bowed down and disappeared into the darkness again, just as he had done before he came, without making a sound.
Once again, the Duke of Horley was left alone in the empty castle hall.
His cold eyes were fixed on a certain part of the wall, but the corners of his mouth suddenly turned into a smile.
It's just that his smile will only make people feel creepy, but it will not associate it with beautiful things in the slightest.
"Lord Duke!"
At this moment, the voice of the chief knight Turan appeared at the door.
Horay snorted softly through his nose, and the latter walked in quickly.
He stretched out his hand and spread out a secret letter rolled up in parchment in front of the latter, and whispered, "Lord Duke! The message is accurate! Tyron, Duke of Sunflower, has already led his Iron Rhino Cavalry to the east this morning! In the current Sunflower Castle, only his personal guard captain Francis and the 3,000 heavy armor army led by him are stationed in the castle!
In addition, due to the bursting of the embankment of the Benlei River and the small actions of the octopus pirates some time ago, the Duke of Sunflower suffered heavy losses and suffered a great loss of vitality! I heard that Sir Boozer, whom he sent to occupy the mines to the east, not only did not get any money, but was also killed on the spot by his junk brother's men! However, there is also news that the 'Three Wastes' prince known as the Ryan Continent, Klose Holger, has become an official magic apprentice in the Floating City! Seemingly.... Don't believe all the rumors about that prince! ”
Huo Lei squinted his eyes and glanced at the contents of the secret letter, and then snorted coldly: "As I expected, it seems that the reason why the underground pharmaceutical factory in Pumpkin Town had an accident is definitely related to this third prince who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger." Let's push it in the back and let the flame of hatred between these three brothers burn a little stronger. ”
Turan's expression was slightly stunned, and he asked, "Lord Duke, what do you mean.... Use the nail we have rooted in the Holger Palace? ”
Horay raised his eyelids, stretched out his index finger and spun in the air, and asked, "Why not?" If we can still miss such a good opportunity, we are so sorry for these three brothers. Also, prepare a big gift for me to send to the octopus, and say congratulations to the king of the seven seas of Provence for his rejuvenation and return to the top. ”
Turan suddenly gasped! He gritted his teeth and repeated: "The King of the Seven Seas.... Did you really get it back**? Crossed that hurdle? ”
Horay nodded, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Excellency... With all due respect! In fact... I think compared to the three princes of Holger, the Provençal family, who controlled all the ships of the Seven Seas... It seems that the threat to us is even greater! ”
The Duke of Horley twisted his body and leaned back in a different position.
His lips opened lightly and he whispered, "House of Provence.... No matter how powerful it is, it's just a big fish that doesn't dare to go ashore. What we need to do is to control the Holger continent first, so as to extend our influence to the entire Ryan continent. As for the rejuvenating Provençal patriarch.... His primary target is likely to be his old rival 'Chessboard Island'.... And we now have magic airships and weapons excavated from ancient ruins. You can skip the sea line and attack Holger directly from the air. In addition, our devil's elixir has also made great progress and breakthroughs.... This is the perfect moment to take over Holger. ”
It seems that the Duke of Grey Dove has shown enough patience with his chief knight Tunran. This can be seen from the fact that he said so many words in one breath.
Turan saw that his adults were so confident, and he was also relieved.
He stroked his chest with one hand and saluted, "Then Lord Duke, I will go down and make arrangements." ”
Who knew that Turan was just about to leave, but was stopped by Horay.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry, send the Provencal gift for me. We're going to wait for the Duke of Sunflower to travel for three days before we attack. ”
Turan took a deep breath, straightened up, and nodded heavily before stepping back quickly.
He knew that the Duke of Sunflower, who had been in a stalemate with his own Duke for more than four years.... He is almost at the end of his life!
Because the "gray pigeon" does not make a move, it is enough, and once it is shot, it must be done with all its might! Maximize all opportunities that are beneficial to your own and harmful to your enemies! This is also the reason why the gray dove can single-handedly shock the Melsa Mountains!
And.... Those who don't know only say that the Duke of Grey Dove became the guardian of the East because his sister married King Girshas.... He, Tulan, knew that his lord was the guardian of the Eastern Realm first, and his sister was taken by the king as a princess.
You have to know that the order of these two things is very different! And the Duke was originally just an outcast, who couldn't even eat!
Of course, these things about the Duke were not for Turan to inquire about, and he only learned about them from a drunken gaffe of King Girshas.
However, as the chief knight of the Grey Dove, he knows what to ignore and what to focus on. This is one of the main reasons why Horay Herbert reuses his Turan.
