Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 33 Sigmund II

"But isn't your son already married? I remember he married Nagelina from Jagoron's family." Sigmund asked suspiciously.

It should have been a few months ago that Marius Jagoron's younger sister married from Crowfield City to Ironcrown City.

"The unlucky boy fell off his horse while hunting in Meilin and died." Mang Xiong said flatly.

"Unfortunate accident." Mirosla sighed.

Sigmund frowned slightly, the coincidence of the news disturbed him.

Even if the Wilke family killed Nagelina, and then casually used an accident as an excuse to cover up the truth, he would not be surprised.

If his suspicions were true, there would be another blood feud between the two families, which might be a good thing for the Korva family.

But what about the suspicions of the Jagorons?The dead were nowhere to be found, and together with the peasants who were unwilling to pay [-]% of the tax, they became another nameless skeleton under the Iron Crown Hill.

"Duke Marius must be sad, or angry, or both," said Sigmund.

"I haven't told him yet. I plan to tell him at this coronation ceremony." Reckless Bear curled his lips, "Why is he angry? For his sister, I gave him a few carts from the Iron Casting Mountain. The iron and steel lumps smelted from good iron ore are really wasted."

Sigmund rolled his eyes. The rich minerals of the Iron Casting Mountain made the Wilke family rich and defiant. They used the iron ore they mined to make steel to arm their knights and soldiers.The nobles smelted iron and gold, and the common people shed blood and tears.

"Let's go in and talk about it." Sigmund raised his hand and asked a group of people to follow him into Fort Smorge.

"Although King Leon's castle isn't too big, the place he chose is really good." In front of the Zhongming Gate, Mang Xiong sighed, "Even if you give me tens of thousands of people, it will be difficult to break through this place by force."

"Compared to your Iron Crown City?" Sigmund asked as he walked.

"Ha, then you can't compare. There is no city in this world that is more difficult to capture than the Iron Crown City, even the 'Hornless Bull' Yarus' Ernoburg!" Mang Xiong said proudly.

Sigmund knew that the bear was not bragging.

He has been to Ironcrown City before. This fortress city built on the Ironcrown Hill of Iron Casting Mountain is surrounded by endless moldy forests in the north, Dragon Neck Bay in the east, and mountains in the west. Dawn City and Rusty Sword Castle of the Wilk family.

Before arriving at Ironcrown City, you will also meet the white iron hoofs stationed in front of the Mumu Gate. They are the proud knights of the Wilke family, equipped with the best steel armor and lances in the whole kingdom.

I'm afraid that even the Starfall City of the Holy Palacis Empire, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, doesn't have such indestructible terrain and difficult watchdogs.

"Did you pass Weiqing City on the way here?" Sigmund asked.

"It's over, what's the matter?" Mang Xiong said.

"I haven't received a letter from Duke Francak yet, and I don't know how many people he will bring." Sigmund said, "Have you met him in Weiqing City?"

"'Fat Fish'? See, I have seen it before, but I have nothing to talk about with that fat man, and we haven't talked about anything." Sigmund laughed, "He just provides me with good wine, and I just drink!"

The coronation ceremony will be held in three days, counting the Welk family from Iron Crown City and Dawn City who just arrived, the Rezak family from Rock Pit City and the Doctor's family from Belumbell Castle who came yesterday, and The Piasic family in Pingdi City who arrived three days ago, there are still four families who have not arrived.

"Duke of Bone" Lek Mostek of Bonheap, Marius Jagoron "The Dazzling" of Crowfield, and Yarus Pelk "Hornless Bull" of Ernorburg It is understandable because the journey is far away, but why has there been no news from the "fat fish" Franciak Domanche not far from the east?

"Who was that old man who was with you on the city wall just now?" Reckless Bear looked up at the city wall and asked, "Why have I never seen this man before?" After that, he handed over the reins of his war horse to his servant Chesa inside.

"Vigrich Apollon," Sigmund replied.

"What the heck, what is the emperor of Hastza people doing in the Hall of Ashes?" Reckless Bear showed a look of surprise.

"He and his family came to mourn the death of King Izdor and congratulate the Queen on her coronation." Sigmund didn't tell Vigrich's true intentions, he needed to tell Her Majesty the Queen first and persuade her to add more Be careful.

"Well, the Hastza never mourn the death of a Vivaria," said the Bear in distaste. "Every time they come to the Plains, something bad happens."

"He married a Vivalian woman, you forget?" Sigmund reminded.

"Izdor's eldest daughter?" asked the bear, "Of course I remember that the old king sold his daughter to the south!
I think you forgot that these Hastza once took our lands, raped our women, and even Princess Irena in the end.

Listen, 'Little Giant', I will never marry my precious daughters to these brutes under any circumstances! "

"King Izdor married Princess Dia to Madkalin for the safety of the entire kingdom." Sigmund stared at Konrad and said, "Not only for external threats, but also for internal crises. "

"Hey, what a shitty reason, and an internal crisis." Reckless Bear disdainful, "As long as you don't meddle in the affairs of the White Ironshoe's family, I will keep my mouth shut in the council like now, anyway, I'm too lazy to talk to the king. This mess in the country."

Sigmund recalled that the reckless bear had never made any excessive demands in the parliament.

"This time you want your only son to marry Her Majesty the Queen," said Sigmund. "It will cause a lot of trouble."

"Hmm..." Mang Xiong seemed to be lost in thought, "It seems to be the truth, I just think the queen is a beauty, and it would be a pity to marry someone else."

Sigmund didn't know how to answer the reckless bear's words for a while.

"I never care who wears the lily crown, as long as the person wearing it is a Vivarian!" Mang Xiong continued: "Since the Apollyon family is here, why not take advantage of this Chance to kill them all in one sweep?"

"Are you crazy? Keep your voice down!" The sudden question startled Sigmund. He suppressed his voice and said, "We are allies with the Hastza Empire, and they are our guests in the Hall of Ashes. If you move this idea of ​​breaking your oath, you should be sent by the gods!"

"I think it's a pretty good idea," the bear muttered disapprovingly. "You should keep an eye on the Apollyons family. There may be some conspiracy behind them."

The reckless bear was right about this point, he needed to beware of Vigerich Apollyon, and warned Her Majesty the Queen to be more careful and not to listen to the old fox's slander.
