Heart of the Castle

Chapter 577

The sky had just dawned, and Griffon Lord Levi Ston personally led a small team to leave Green Castle and head west.On the one hand, this is to escort the residents of Morken Town back home, and on the other hand, it is to invite Seraph Robinson Rist to join the northern camp.

Perhaps because most of the bandits had turned into refugees, the law and order situation in North Border County was unprecedentedly good, and at least half of the group were fully armed knights, so there were no accidents along the way.The team successfully arrived in the town of Moreken that afternoon, but did not see Robinson Rist there. According to the villagers, the amiable smiling blond young man and his wife had been together for two days Did not appear in front of everyone, but no one saw them leave.

Li Wei Ston felt a little regretful about Rist's avoidance, but he was not surprised.Rist once walked with the Griffin Lord as a bard for a long time. If he wants to reunite with Levi, there are plenty of people in the capital of Fermeyer or Greencastle. opportunity to meet.

With the prestige and power of the current griffin lord, if the military and civilians in the northern border are mobilized to conduct a comprehensive search, it will not be difficult to find Rist with a young girl by his side.However, since Rist escaped in advance, Li Wei did not plan to look for him. After all, everyone has their own ideas, no matter why Rist deliberately approached him at the beginning, and why he deliberately avoided it now. Didn't even bother to find out why.

From the incident of the attack of the dragon, we can know that Robinson Rist is on the human side, and that is enough.It would be an unbearable loss for the current situation in the northern border if this angel with legendary strength was allowed to leave the northern border because of too urgent pressure.

More importantly, Levi did not intend to use various methods to bring Rist under his command from the very beginning.

The head of the kingdom's important ministers can replace His Majesty the king's chief regent, and is also known as the uncrowned king; while the guardian of the whole territory has the command and dispatch power of all the kingdom's troops, including the four knights.In the history of the Kingdom of Arthur, it is difficult for these two extremely important positions to appear on nobles who are not members of the royal family. dictator.

Levi Ston is probably the only non-royal aristocrat in the history of Arthur Kingdom who is the head of important ministers and the guardian of the whole territory.But he is probably also the youngest noble in the kingdom's history to occupy this position. If one ignores the series of dazzling achievements, he has just passed his 16th birthday, and a year ago he was just an unknown young apprentice servant.

No matter how good the Griffin Lord's learning ability is, one year is not enough for him to completely fade from a small servant to a ruthless politician, and there is no such trait in his character, even if he is a hand Holding the power, Li Wei still behaved like an upright knight.

Of course, such a personality is not suitable for becoming a dictator, and the Griffin Lord never intends to gather all the military and political power in his hands.He established a round table council in the way that had appeared in the history of the kingdom. The original team under the Griffon banner and the lords of the northern border counties have obtained enough autonomy, and the nobles of the royal capital who have shown a cooperative attitude can also quickly integrate into it. Among them, all these made the development of Northern Border County more smooth and rapid, and at the same time, after Li Wei left Greencastle, at least in a short period of time, there would be no problems in the operation of the kingdom's power structure.

After entering April, although the weather has turned warmer, the evening wind that blows is still full of chills, making Li Wei, who just walked out of the warm room, tremble all over.However, he didn't pay much attention to it, "The chill helps keep the mind clear." Thinking like this, Levi walked down the narrow streets of the town.

Unlike Green Castle, where the army gathers and the atmosphere is chilling, the night in the town of Moreken is quiet and serene.There are neat village huts on both sides. Since it was getting late, most of the residents had already slept soundly, and only a few of the windows of the houses were still flickering with the warm light of the firepit.Crowds of stars twinkled above the clear black sky, and Li Wei suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he looked up at the night sky and the bright stars like this, and there was no thought in his mind.

Just looking at the stars.

The sound of hooves sounded softly, and the huge body of the Dark Nightmare in the North appeared from the side of the road. This mixed-breed Nightmare was a full-grown horse, with a height of two meters, and his eyes were like burning dark red coals. Very close, and with a vague sense of respect.

"It's like looking at the father's child." Li Wei thought with a wry smile, then reached out and stroked the huge head of the black horse.

"Big, what's your order?" The voice of the Dark Nightmare from the Northern Territory sounded in his head. This mixed-breed Nightmare's intelligence was no worse than that of ordinary people, but the special structure of his throat made him unable to speak.

"No, just walk around, you can come too." Li Wei's fingers slid across the sharp horns with spiral textures on the black horse's forehead. Less than a year ago, there was only a slight protrusion here, which made no adult The Dark Nightmare of the North was mistaken for an exceptionally handsome wild horse. If it looked like this, no one would have misunderstood it.

But probably no one would be able to catch the grown-up Dark Nightmare of the North.

The past events of Dirk City slipped through Li Wei's heart like flowing water, which made his face show a bit of emotion.Unknowingly, the sword dancer Earl Ansair, the former idol of Levi, was silently surpassed. Now Levi has not only managed to completely control the northern border, but has further become the leader of the revival of the Kingdom of Arthur Characters, including Marquis Osiris, the sky knight, Bamilyan, the court chief, and many wealthy nobles of the king's capital, all obeyed his orders under his command.

This made the young Levi Stern full of confusion. His hands are now firmly grasping the steering wheel of the ruined ship of the Kingdom of Arthur. Which direction can sail smoothly to the other side of victory.

And the series of things that happened recently made him even more at a loss.

Dragons, angels, abyss lords, legendary powerhouses, names once only heard in bards reappeared on the mainland stage, and Li Wei confirmed the existence of most of them with his own eyes.That beautiful girl with fiery red hair... no, it's a devil, what kind of thoughts are she holding?Why did Robinson Rist avoid seeing him again?The two emerald dragons were forced back by the angels and demons, but they will never return. When will they reappear in the sky of Northern County?
There were no answers to these questions for a while, and the worries in Li Wei's heart increased day by day. Although he buried his worries under a calm and calm mask during the day, at night when everything was silent, these worries were like stubborn growth. Like grass, it drilled into the wall of will in his heart, making it impossible for him to sleep at all.

The Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory read the smell of anxiety from Li Wei's thoughts, and snorted a little uneasy.The Griffon Lord then woke up from the confusion of worries, and laughed a few times in a low self-deprecating voice, his voice becoming more and more dry under the lonely night sky.

A rush of horseshoes suddenly broke the silence, especially in the quiet night, it was palpitating.Due to the arrival of Li Wei and his party, the vigilance of the town of Morken was at least one level higher than before. The sound of horseshoes was still far outside the town, and there was a majestic shout.

"Stop, who?"

The sound of horseshoes was interrupted in an instant, and then a sonorous and forceful voice sounded, "I am Chilavala, Teacher Wilps, I have brought urgent information from Greencastle, and I need to report to the Guardians of the Realm immediately." Your Mightiness!"

"Open the fence and let him in." Wilps replied, and then added, "But Lord Levi is not with us now."

"I'm here." Li Wei answered with a raised voice, and looked in the direction of the noise. At first, he saw nothing but the shaking figure, but soon saw two horsemen Knights on horses galloped forward from the twilight, and one of them was Flame Wheel Knight Wilps in casual knight clothes.

"Lord Levi." Another knight—Sir Chirawala, one of the Knights of the Iron Guard, jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards Levi. He was wearing a simple gray armor , formed like gray mist under the moonlight of the silver moon.It can be seen that he came in a hurry, the expression on his face was a little dull due to exhaustion, and his voice also had a hoarse ending.

"Lord Li Wei, at noon, an emissary from the elves arrived at Green Castle and made a suggestion to the kingdom about the elves' royal court. Your Royal Highness, Princess Fleisher, please go back immediately."

"An emissary from the elves?" Li Wei frowned at the unexpected news.

"Yes, Lord Levi." Sir Chirawala nodded vigorously and said, "The Marquis Osiris has proved that the man is indeed an elf, and he is also riding a huge green dragon."

"Green Dragon?" Li Wei and Wilpus couldn't help but looked at each other, and then said after thinking, "Master Sugard said that according to the records in the classics, the Green Dragon is a vassal of the Jade Dragon Clan. Is it related to the emerald dragon family?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Levi." Sir Chilavala bowed deeply and said, "The suggestion brought by the elf messenger is currently the kingdom's top secret, and my identity is not enough to hear it."

"It seems that I have to go back immediately." Li Wei nodded, and then touched the forehead of the northern black nightmare with his hand, "Xiao Hei, I'm afraid you will have to work hard this time."

The black horse shook his head and hissed in response, as if boasting that there was nothing wrong.

Seeing Li Wei jumping on his horse, Wilps took two steps forward, "Master Li Wei, please wait a moment, I will assemble the team right away."

"Let me show you the way," Ser Chillavala said aloud too.

"No need, I am very familiar with the way back to Greencastle, and there is no horse that can keep up with Xiao Hei." Li Wei shook his head and refused, "Master Wilps, you and the team should return early in the morning. Ser Chillawara stayed and rested."

At the same time as the voice fell to the ground, Li Wei patted the forehead of the black nightmare of the northern border, and the black horse let out a long and loud hiss, and the sound of hooves exploded a series of light thunder, rushing out of the town along the street like a whirlwind.

The night is as dark as a shadow, mist surrounds the forest, and the long road is long, winding until the end of the field of vision.The swift steps of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory trampled the dirt and gravel on the ground, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road flashed behind them as if they were falling. Inspired fighting spirit, until the light of silvery white fighting spirit bloomed from his body, he felt better.

The lights of Morken Town were left behind in an instant, and Li Wei kept thinking about the purpose of the elf messenger's visit. His thoughts were so concentrated that he completely entrusted the matter of traveling to the Dark Nightmare in the North.

The kingdom of elves is located in the west of the Kingdom of Arthur, in the deepest part of the mysterious Moon Whispering Forest.Although traces of elves can still be seen occasionally in the human kingdoms, they are much rarer than dwarves, half-orcs and other ethnic groups.Not to mention the elven royal court, which has always pursued a closed-door policy. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Arthur, several kings of Arthur have sent envoys to meet the elven queen, but all of them were rejected by the elves. I couldn't find my way out, so I could only return sadly.

As for the elven king's court taking the initiative to send an envoy, this is the first time in hundreds of years.

Li Wei hopes that this incident has nothing to do with the emerald dragon, but after the fall of Firmeyer, Mr. Dish once expressed such emotion-human beings often refuse to admit the facts that have happened because of their own likes and dislikes.The current situation is probably the same. Although Li Wei has repeatedly looked for other reasons that may attract the attention of the Elven King's Court, all of them are so far-fetched that even he finds it ridiculous.

"The relationship between the elves royal court and the human kingdoms has always been close, but generally they belong to the same camp. It is much better for the elf queen to send envoys to negotiate than to send out all the emerald dragons to the north for revenge." Li Wei thought this way with a bit of bitterness, and then he saw a fiery red figure flashing out of his eyes.

The Northern Territory Black Nightmare let out a hiss, and the running body suddenly stopped, and its two front hooves jumped up, kicking outwards continuously.The hoof of this mixed-breed nightmare is the size of an ordinary person's head, and it is nailed with a horseshoe full of sharp steel teeth. The power of its full kick is comparable to that of a title knight. Even a tower shield made of steel will be kicked There were deep marks, but the fiery red figure just raised one hand, and easily endured the series of fierce kicks.

"What a beautiful pony. Li Wei, I want to ride such a beautiful pony too." The voice of the beautiful girl with fiery red hair was as charming as ever, but Li Wei seemed to have been slapped in the face. Like a fist, his body was tense, and his right hand subconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"The demon lord, Sera Farna?"

Li Wei only needs one thought to summon hundreds of elite alchemy warriors through the heart of the castle. However, the advantage of numbers is not so effective in front of the legendary strong.Especially now that the distance between Sera Farna and the Griffin Lord is so close, even if the Green Lion Marquis Osiris and the Scourge Knight Sir Rodriguez are all present, they may not be able to block Serra Farner in time. s attack.

If she really wanted to attack.

Seeing Li Wei's obviously intertwined expression of rejection and vigilance, the smile on Sierra Farna's face became a little sad, "It seems that you still have some prejudice against the demon family, Li Wei." She sighed softly He said, "I originally thought that humans who can control a burning embers lord and thousands of demons as subordinates should not have so many prejudices in their hearts."

"The Ember Lord?" Li Wei repeated it in surprise, and then immediately realized that his tone was a bit strange, and hurriedly remedied, "Devil, what is the Ember Lord you are talking about?"

"It's so vigilant, do you need someone to say that name?" Sera Farna smiled sweetly, "Scott, Lord of Burning Cinders? Hellfire, this is the name that guy gave himself, and he also got His father—that is, one of the seven monarchs of the abyss, the Burning Lord Dariga's acknowledgment."

"I don't understand what you mean." Li Wei quickly jumped off the back of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory, and then patted the black horse's forehead, signaling it to retreat behind.The black horse hissed a little nervously, rejected Li Wei's order for the first time, did not move, but insisted on standing in front, his lava-like fiery eyes were full of alertness.

"You fully understand that Ash Lord Scott has a special aura, which is the trace of being forcibly raised by a very special external force, and in the abyss of purgatory, there will be no demons at all. Such a stupid thing." Sera Farna said with a charming smile, "Yes, and this beautiful pony, although it is a half-breed, it is more important than the mounts of the lord's guards under his command Xiongjun many times."

Li Wei couldn't help taking a step back, lowering his head to hide the shock on his face, "What exactly do you want to do?" He asked in as sharp and cold a voice as possible.

"I just came here to talk about love and see if I can find the happy feeling of spending a lifetime together." Sera Farna replied with a relaxed expression.

"I can't believe it." Li Wei replied, his tone was cold and straightforward, "I don't remember any intersection between us, let alone a love."

"For the Flame Demon Clan, lightly touching the forehead with a fireball is equivalent to a passionate kiss between you humans... Well, since you still have doubts in your heart, I will give you more time to think about it." It's gone." Sera Farna smiled slightly as she stepped back.The speed is so fast that it looks like a group of fiery red ghosts without entities.Her slender figure disappeared behind a tall gray-blue bush in an instant, only her soft voice still lingered in her ears.

"Since you can give Scott and this mixed-breed nightmare a chance, why can't you give others a chance as well? They will come to you again, Levi Ston, and I hope to get a different answer than today. "
