Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 64 Vigrich III (1)

Vigrich Apollyon on a white horse, and their procession was led by Egar Dolman and Drake, Prefect of the Guard, and Monty and Allen rode on both sides of him, surrounded by the Guards Protect.

The leaves rustled, and the forest was filled with the fresh smell of oak, ash, and maple, and the faint fragrance of ash leaves mixed with earth underfoot.

The pebble-like smell of deer and hare droppings lurked further down was impossible to detect without sniffing.

They moved slowly through the King's Grove, creaking with every step.

The servants of the Korva family were dragged by the excited hunting dogs. While they were sniffing the smell of the jungle and trying to find traces of prey, they moved deeper into the forest.

Vigrich didn't want to soil his black robes and white wool cape, and hunting with his hands had never been his favorite activity.

Rather than using weapons to kill prey to show his ability and courage, he prefers to use falconry to impress people with his superb training skills and command.

Vigrich has two well-trained raptors in Madkalin City, one is a peregrine falcon that has accompanied him for 12 years, and the other is a golden eagle that has been with him for ten years.

He trained them by himself, from building trust to feeding them some raw meat, and then familiarizing them with prey such as quail, ducks and hares, until they could recognize Vigrich's whistle and face and became hunting companions together .

This trip took him so long. If Wigrich knew that they would be hunting in Wangwanglin, he would definitely bring his two flying hunters.

The hounds began to bark into the depths of the forest, "What did the hounds find!" the person in front reported.They let go of the hound's rope and struggled to follow the hound, which was running at full strength.

"Let's go!" Zhuo Ke followed immediately.

Vigrich didn't let the horse speed up, and the people around saw that he didn't respond, so they had no choice but to continue to bark towards the hounds as usual.

"Is this going to be a war, Father?" Monty stood beside him in a red cloak, rein in hand, concern in clear brown eyes.

"Why do you ask?"

"You said we were no longer safe," replied Monty, "if Queen Lozaria is going to reject Drake..."

"She won't," Vigrich interrupted his son. "She doesn't have a choice."

Queen Lozaria has not yet announced her husband's candidate, at best she is doing her last unnecessary struggle.

Vigrich didn't leave her with other options, and refusing Zhuo Ke would only make the Korva family lose the lily crown faster.

Vigrich's answer didn't ease Monty, who looked down at his mount's sideburns, the half-tack of black hair sliding across his chin.

"These dukes, they bother me too," said Munty. "What are you going to do with them, even if the queen chooses my brother?"

Vigrich turned his attention to the teams of other families in the forest. His idea of ​​marrying Queen Lozaria to Zhuo Ke had already reached the ears of the families.

Yarus Pelk, the hornless bull of Ernoburg, found him immediately.Perhaps because of a conflict with his interests, Duke Yarus is not optimistic about the combination of Zhuo Ke and Lozaria.

Jarus Pelke said that Vivaria would be difficult to tame by the Hastza, saying that he needed a local nobleman to rule everything for him.

Of course, Vigrich ignored the rhetoric of the hornless bull. If Queen Lozaria would rather abandon her throne and refuse to marry Zhuo Ke, then he will naturally regain the lily crown through Jarus Perk .

Vigrich said unhurriedly to Monty: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already figured out a way."

It is easy to give power away, but it is extremely difficult to take it back.The reason why Vivaria's successive kings were suppressed by the grand dukes was because of their own lack of strength.

Compared with other families, the strength and financial resources of the Korva family are not superior.When the duke's castle walls are higher than the king's, his army is stronger than the king's, and his gold coins are more than the king's, who is the real king?
For hundreds of years, the rule of nobles headed by dukes has been deeply rooted on the Great Plains of Vivaria. Although it is not possible to get rid of these roots overnight, as long as you have more gold and troops, they will There is no way to covet more power, and it will not be difficult to tame them by then.

Their team came to the place where the hounds were rushing, and three black hounds were biting a wild boar with all their strength, one biting the back of the neck, one biting the back, and the other biting the left hind thigh.

No matter how the wild boar tried to get rid of it, the hounds refused to let go.

"Let me do it!" Zhuo Ke had already prepared his dagger, and walked up to the wild boar to deliver the fatal blow.

He squatted down and stabbed the heart of the back of the wild boar's front legs with a knife. He only heard the wild boar scream, and continued to struggle for a while before he failed to respond.

Judging from the size of the dead wild boar, it should be a male wild boar. Its head and feet with tusks and black pointed hairs were half the size of the rest of its body.

After killing the wild boar, Zhuo Ke wiped the blood on the dagger with a cloth in satisfaction.

"It's such a waste that there is no Korva hunting here in the huge King's Forest." Zhuo Ke sighed while wiping the dagger carefully.

"Prince Rudomir is an excellent hunter," said a member of the Korva family, leaning against a thick oak tree.

Vigerich recognized his messy, mixed-colored hair and stubble as the arrogant and domineering long-haired knight Urban Dorak in the parlor that day.

"Prince Leo was alive too," added Urban Dorak indignantly.

Vigerich really wanted to rub his temples with his fingers. Zhuo Ke always spoke without thinking, and now he was going to be caught by the long-haired knight again.

Zhuo Ke's expression became stiff and he didn't speak again.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over him, that someone was staring at him.

Vigrich frowned and looked around, but he could only see the endless forest trees.

"Have you ever seen a white deer, father?" Alan asked on his right. "I heard that a white deer is a good omen, and it can give blessings to those who see it."

Vigrich looked at Alan in a light blue gown with some surprise, his youngest son rarely took the initiative to talk to him.

"No," he replied, "Argoric V once saw a white stag in the sawtooth forest, that's probably why people call him 'Blessed One'."

"Hopefully we can meet one another today," Allen said.

"Look over there!" Monty pointed to their left.

I saw two servants carrying a brown buck tied upside down, followed by a white-haired woman riding a horse and carrying a short bow.

She was ruddy and proud.The woman was wearing a well-fitting leather gown, holding a feathered arrow with a bloody tip in her hand.
