Wizard From Afar

Byrne Duchy, Scarlet Blood Castle.

Sitting in the palace hall—or it should be called the "Round Table Hall"—the expressionless Charlotte Torino under the banner of the Golden Lion on the black background stared at the direction of the door, solemnly There was still a trace of tension on his face.

Ayton Glenwell, who is sitting on the left and right, and the Rainbow Bridge count, Orkney Gareth count. They have different faces, and they are not much stronger than her. They clenched their fists and looked solemn. Waiting.

Just as the three of them were "wanting to see through", a familiar silhouette hurriedly walked into the door, stood at the round table, and bowed respectfully to the female count.

"Charles, how's it going?"

Charlotte frowned slightly, and his tone was a little anxious, and he immediately noticed that the expression on Steward of the Scarlet Blood Castle was a little strange: "Are they still reluctant to let go and do not give in for half a step?"

"I am afraid that is the case."

Charles Grenwell sighed, with a helpless expression: "The messenger of the Dwarf Supreme King still thinks that this is just Byrne's prejudice and wishful thinking, and does not admit that they have provided any support to the Centaur."

The voice fell, Ayton and Gareth count looked at each other in blank dismay, shook the head at the same time.

"Unsurprisingly..."

Slightly startled, the female count with a little lost self-control immediately regained indifference: "It has been three days, it seems that they intend to be forever Don’t let go."

"That’s not necessarily?" Gareth, who was wearing a robe and was as thin as a bachelor, count opened the mouth and said: "They took the initiative to find the door, which proves that they are actually There is also the desire to talk about it, but the situation in front of them is not in their interests."

"Gareth is right. They will come to us on the initiative to prove that there is something...even if they Desperately trying to hide."

Ayton Glenwell slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly: "The dwarves are the most stubborn and stubborn—to convince them, we need to be better than them. More patience."

Charlotte was lightly snorted, very upset.

"And, I have a guess." Stormcaster count opened the mouth and said plainly, and picked up the letter from Thousand Horde City on the table:

"Yes It’s impossible...they don’t know about these at first?"

"Hmm..."

"The arrogance of the dwarves is as everyone knows, and it’s almost impossible for them to admit their mistakes. It’s harder than heavenly ascension." Ayton looked thoughtful’s opened the mouth and said:

"Whether they at first knew about the Centaur, if this happened, they will not admit it again I have to ask for us."

The female count frowned and glanced at Stormcastle count: "You mean..."

"Or threat, or Relief...In short, you must let them tell the truth." As he said, the smiling Ayton gracefully saluted the female count: "What will happen afterwards, I am afraid you know better than me."

Hesitate for a moment. , Charlotte suddenly raised her head, her sharp gaze toward up ahead: "Charles!"

"The messengers of the Supreme King, have been waiting outside the hall for a long time." Steward of the Scarlet Blood Castle answered with a comprehensive heart. Said: "As long as you are nodded, they can do it at any time."

So anxious? It’s really a guilty conscience...

"Then go and invite them in." With a sneer on the corners of her mouth, Charlotte straightened her chest and whispered: "In front of such a distinguished guest, Byrne Never be rude."

At this moment, her eyes were a little bit more decidedly cold.

……………………………………………………

Time Reverse back three days ago...

Midnight In Shifen's study, a fluorite lamp illuminates Charlotte's shocked face, staring at the horrible to see content on the letterhead.

The gasping for breath Andrew McAphey stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, Charles on both sides, and the joint Chamber of Commerce Chief-In-Charge, Jr. Jr., who came in hastily.

Although Charlotte could not trust the people of the Yorder family, after Loren came to power, Jr. Yord was already his right-hand man. The Union Chamber of Commerce was not inferior to the Yord Chamber of Commerce and controlled Byrne. Most of the foreign trade and intelligence network.

Among them is the trade line with the dwarven kingdom.

"This, is this true?"

In shock, Charlotte's voice trembled slightly.

"It's true!" McCaffey quickly replied: "We met the centaur trebuchet outside the city of Thousand Trap, how can those barbarians make this thing? And..."

p>

"I’m not asking about this!"

The female count interrupted him sharply, her eyes sharp: "I’m asking whether the dwarf is really like Loren Torino said, has been completely with the centaur. An alliance has been reached?!"

"This..." The guard scratched his head, his mouth twitched, thinking about the reply that an "irresponsible" owner gave him when he left: "The Lord Duke said... You decide on your own."

"Is that so?" Charlotte couldn't help but eyebrows raised, her lips pressed tightly.

What a...someone who will cause trouble to others.

"I see." The impatient female count was reluctant to say a word of nonsense, and turned her eyes to her side: "Your Excellency Yod, has the Chamber of Commerce ever noticed any movement of dwarves?"

Little Yod bit his posterior teeth. He could feel that the female count’s temper is not so good now: "It’s hard to say...The only direct trade with Byrne and the Empire is the Dwarf’s frontier settlement. He Yun Peak’s supreme king."

"Unlike the empire, the dwarves promote the city-state system, and the independence of each city-state is far stronger than the duchy of the empire—if it is a private action of a certain city-state, It’s hard for us to detect it, besides..."

"It’s nothing more, I just have to answer." Charlotte opened the mouth and said coldly: "If I want to put pressure on the dwarven kingdom, Is it possible to join Chamber of Commerce?"

"If the Dwarf Supreme King didn’t get involved..." Little Yod lowered his head humbly: "With the help of our friendly relationship with the Supreme King, we can indeed A dwarf city-state with bad intentions put pressure on it."

On the other hand, if the Supreme King also gets involved, it doesn’t make much sense to put pressure on...Is it?

But if the Supreme King is the mastermind behind the whole incident, then Byrne will be ready to resist the invasion!

"Charles, what do you think?"

The named Crimson Blood Castle Steward glanced at the little Yod beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the mouth and said: "I think Lord Yorder's method...may wish to try it."

"For the situation, we don't know anything about the battle on the front line. Naturally, we should rely on the Duke's judgment as the main factor, and we must understand the movements of the dwarves. ;"

"Yu Li, since the biggest suspicion in this matter is on the dwarf, it is natural to negotiate with the Supreme King... Even in the worst case, it is necessary to send envoys to each other before the war begins."

The study was quiet, and the eyes of the three people gathered on the female count.

Slowly raising her head, Charlotte's expression was extremely serious.

"Notify the two counts of Fort Storm and Rainbow Bridge to convene a round table meeting......" The female count took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes:

"To the Scarlet Blood Fort Even the thirteen leaders of Byrne gave orders to enter a state of full alert...preparing for battle!"

The cold tone made McAffey standing in front of her startled.

The Scarlet Blood Fort is steward slightly nodded, and he turned around and walked outside without asking a second question. The atmosphere in the study became a little bit colder.

"If...count, what I'm talking about is that if the dwarves are really ready to do something to Byrne, how would you do it?" Little Yod's expression is very inexplicable:

"Luo... The Duke is still far away in Boi. The thirteen territories may not obey your orders. How many troops can be mobilized is still unknown."

"Even if there is only the Scarlet Blood Fort, we will fight to the end. Keep the dwarves out of the Duchy border."

Charlotte pressed her lower lip and quietly opened the mouth and said: "Before he left, he entrusted Byrne to me. This is trust. It is also my promise to him."

"I will not betray him, before he...betrays me."

Little Yod's eyes changed and his expression was a little surprised.

The air seems to freeze.

Until he left and returned to the Scarlet Blood Fort Steward, he broke the silence with his hurried footsteps, anxiously even forgot to bow and salute:

"Ayton· Both count Glenwell and Gareth have arrived in the lobby, and the roundtable meeting can start at any time, count!"

"Very good." Charlotte was slightly nodded, his eyes fixed on: "Also Anything else?"

"The letter sent from Yun Peak, the Dwarf Supreme King has sent his messenger." Charles solemnly nodded, his expression is extremely serious:

" Now... the messenger has arrived at the Scarlet Blood Fort, just outside the palace gate!"
