Heart of the Castle

Chapter 26 Outer Part 6 Miss Frasier's Love Story

The time goes back to an early morning not long after the Battle of Greencastle, when Flandara's golden face just rose from the east, the city of Dirk, which had been silent all night, began to gradually come alive, and the chimneys of houses began to emit slender The smoke from the cooking stoves, the number of people on the streets and alleys gradually increased, and in front of the shops that were about to open early in the morning, the sleepy apprentices were cleaning the signboards. Everything seemed so peaceful, and even the air seemed to be filled with a lively atmosphere.

However, the area around the Northern County Sheriff's Mansion was still shrouded in silence, and even the occasional slight knocking sound from the occasional movement of the heavily armed guards in front of the gate could be clearly heard.Lord Ansair, Sheriff of the Northern County, Guardian of the Realm, Earl of the Sword, never works in the morning, so his mansion is rarely visited by guests at this time.

Today, however, this convention is clearly broken.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the sound of metal boots hitting the ground made the servants and servants of the sheriff's mansion turn their heads to see who dared to ignore the orders of the sheriff.

What they saw was a knight wearing a full set of metal armor. Although he didn't look burly and strong, his aura was not to be underestimated. He rushed towards him like a raging fire. It is sharp and compelling.Seeing this posture, the attendants and servants hurriedly walked to both sides, for fear of blocking the footsteps of this fierce-looking knight. The knight sword dangling at his waist is a terrifying weapon, and it may strike at any time. Get out of the sheath and chop over.

The man in charge of guarding the Earl of Ansair's mansion was Knight Kane of the City Guard. Hearing the approaching footsteps, he hurriedly grabbed his sword and opened the door to greet him. "Who are you! This is Ansair, the Sheriff of Northern Border County..."

"I'm looking for Xiaoan, get out!" The voice from behind the knight's visor seemed a bit sharp and very familiar. Kane was taken aback, and the hand that was drawing the sword stopped. The silver-white dou qi light flashed.He doesn't remember falling, but when he recovers from the stun, all he can see is the shelving and the ceiling.

Several guards ran over and helped the dizzy Captain Kane from the pile of debris, "Captain, why did you seem to be stunned just now?" A guard asked a little strangely, "I knocked you down all at once. , is that knight so powerful?"

"Hey, of course. Fortunately, I fainted in time." Captain Kane muttered.The voice of this sentence was too low for the guards to hear clearly, another probe looked at the knight who was moving forward, then turned his head and asked, "That man seems to be going to break into the office of the mayor. Shall we stop him?"

Hearing this sentence, Captain Kane suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, "Go ahead." He covered his waist with his hands, and complained with a very painful expression, "I just hit here, I seem to have sprained a little bit, I'm afraid I can't go with you."

"Captain, this is too fake..." Before the guard finished speaking, several companions covered his mouth together, "Captain, if it is a backache, it will be terrible, maybe there is something wrong with the bones, hurry up Go to the temple to find a priest, and we will escort you there!"

"Yes, let's go together, let's go together!" The guards nodded in agreement, excited to leave this place where a storm was about to hit.

Earl Ansair didn't feel very good this morning, his forehead was throbbing with pain, and his heart was even more uneasy, as if some trouble was about to come. "This is really bad." He muttered, picked up the silver cup placed on the corner of the table, and drank the vermilion liquid inside.

The cool and sweet summer red wine poured into his throat like a pool of cold fire, which lifted Earl Ansair's spirit and relieved his headache a lot.There was a high stack of documents that urgently needed to be issued on the table, and Earl Ansair took down the top one. He just glanced at the title and couldn't help groaning.

"Oh, gods, it's the matter of Viscount Lane again. That old white wolf really deserves to die, why can't he handle it by himself?" His complaints disappeared quickly, and a surprised expression gradually appeared in his eyes. "A high-ranking death knight participated in the rebellion in Greencastle? And Sir Ridwan also..." His brows were tightly furrowed, and the quill pen tapped on the table, making a light rattling sound. "Li Wei, how many secrets does this young man have... What attitude should I use to deal with it..."

With a bang, the door was violently knocked open, and Earl Ansair's thoughts were interrupted immediately, "" He stood up with an angry face, and then his expression froze.

"Supreme Father God, you are...Fleischer?" Earl Ansair shook his head in disbelief, "What nonsense, how could His Excellency allow you to come to such a dangerous place in the northern border?"

The female knight had already taken off her helmet, and her facial features carried a bit of a knight's heroic aura, blending with the beautiful facial curves, forming a unique charm. "I don't want to go back to that house. I'm surrounded by disgusting peacocks all day long, and even the air is suffocated by the smell of their perfume!"

"So you ran out secretly?" Earl Ansair patted his forehead, "Gods be, Your Excellency the Grand Duke doesn't know you ran out, right? Who is responsible for protecting you?"

"My swordsmanship teacher, Grand Knight Commander Martin." Fleischer replied.

"Oh, old Martin." The tense expression on the earl's face relaxed slightly. "That old guy's strength is still very good. As long as he doesn't encounter the main force of demons, there should be no problem in terms of safety." He looked at it strangely. Looking behind Miss Frasier, "Why didn't old Martin come?"

"In Mine Village in the north, we were attacked by demon troops. Mr. Martin...has died in battle." Fleisher's lips trembled slightly, and the voice that came out was full of unspeakable sadness.

"...Is that so?" Earl Ansair's face was dull for a moment, with a sentimental expression on his face, "Old Martin has already left... But, that's great, isn't that exactly the ending he hoped for? A knight should not die on the bed, but on the battlefield..." The earl grabbed the cup and wanted to drink, but found that it was empty, so he had to put it down.

"It's a young knight named Levi..." Miss Fraser briefly described what she experienced and saw. Although her description was straightforward, the incident itself was exciting and tortuous enough. Earl Al's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he tapped his fingers on the table.

"... Now the news from the capital seems to be very unfavorable to Li Wei. Those damn important ministers of the kingdom seem to want to stick their claws into the northern border county. As the governor of the northern border county, you There must be a right to speak in this regard, so I came to you, hoping that you can stand up for Levi and win the reward he deserves." After Miss Fleisher finished speaking, she set her hopeful eyes on Earl Ansair. His face was so hot that the Earl moved his body uncomfortably.

"I know, I know all of this." Earl Ansair frowned, and pointed to the pile of parchment on the table, "Li Wei's matter is very troublesome, very troublesome. The greed of the important ministers of the kingdom is just one aspect, The other lords in Northern County are also coveting that piece of land, and it is difficult for me to do it in it."

"But, Xiao An..."

"Hey, gods, there are quite a few of my subordinates here, save me some face!" Earl Ansair was so uncomfortable with this address, he hurried to the door and looked out. For a moment, then shut it down hard.

"Fleischer, it's not that I don't want to help you, but as the sheriff of the northern county and the head of the Ansair family, I have a lot to consider." The earl explained to the female knight in the most patient tone. , "Li Wei was originally just a knight squire, without any foundation. His rise in the northern border will involve too many interests, and even other wealthy nobles will be involved, so..."

"So you disregard morality and the motto of the knights, and together with those important ministers of the king's capital, want to divide and snatch the territory left by Viscount Ryan after his death?"

Fleischer's severe accusation made Earl Ansair smile wryly, and he spread his hands helplessly, "Hey, it seems that Grand Knight Commander Martin has educated you to be a true knight with a strong and upright character... that's right. , I am very grateful to Li Wei, because he saved your life, and I admire him very much, because he was able to end the evil disaster that happened on the territory in advance. But I have my position as the sheriff of the northern border county and the trade-offs that need to be made Benefits, this is not something that can be explained by pure morality and knight motto."

"So you plan to sacrifice Li Wei, my savior and my loved one?"

When these words came out, both of them were stunned, and then Miss Fraser's face gradually turned red, while Earl Ansair laughed wildly.

"Gods, what did I hear?" He opened his mouth wide enough to fit a whole pear into it. "Fleischer King Silver, the beloved daughter of Grand Duke Raul, the female tyrannosaurus of the Arthurian family, the breaker of the crown, and the conqueror of the Ansair family, finally know how to love?"

This series of titles with a strong taste of jokes made Miss Fraser's face even more burning, "Xiao An!" She shouted angrily, and the long sword slid out of the scabbard with a clang, pointing at the earl who was laughing wildly, "Straightforward Let’s talk about Li Wei’s matter, can you help?”

"Help! Of course!" Earl Ansair replied without hesitation, "The interests of the ten northern counties are not as important as marrying the female tyrannosaurus of the Arthurian family, so I will write to Grand Duke Raul immediately." At the same time, he wrote to the royal court that the Ansair family completely, thoroughly and firmly supported Li Wei and became the sole lord of the land left by Viscount Lane!"
