Arkham returned to the General House, and after returning from Strana Bridge, he went to run the business first. Indeed, the team of knights who protected Austin was relieved of his duties in the Bear Armour, and he did not neglect this matter because of Alan's departure. Only afterwards these people were incorporated into his mansion guard organization, the knight changed his identity, and everything else remained the same.
Enter the square and hand the horse to the guard to take it away. Arkham walked into the main building alone, then went to Austin's room. No accident, before stepping on the corridor, I heard the sound of falling objects in my son's room and the exclamation of several women. Arkham pushed aside the room. Austin was pressing a maid on a chair and ramming it casually. There was a piece of furniture and debris on the floor. The two maids next to him were covering their hands while packing up things.
Seeing Arkham coming in, instead of stopping, Austin moved more intensely. The maid, who was still pretty, now had a distorted expression. Arkham walked over, did not speak, just reached out a big hand and grabbed Austin's hair and threw it back. Austin, who looked like a ball, immediately fell a few meters away, knocked over a table, and did not get up for a long time.
The general patted his hands lightly, and said in a deep voice, "You all go out."
The two maids hurriedly helped up the companions who were already unable to walk, and the three of them should not leave this room. After they left, Austin cried. His swollen cheeks were still not subdued, and now he was newly injured. At first it was just sobbing. Gradually, the fat man cried like a child and yelled: "You hit me! You promised my mother would take care of me, but now, I was hurt by that white-haired boy. Not only did you not teach him, but also hit me!"
"You know what a shit! I'm saving you!" Arkham snorted coldly: "Forget about others, but you shouldn't provoke him. If you know that a powerful earl has died in his hands, I see you I won’t be so reckless to want to get involved with his woman."
Austin raised his head, tears and snot mixed on his face, and he still shouted: "What is the Earl of Strength? You don't want to kill as many as you want with your eyes closed!"
"Shut up! If you are not my son, I will scrape off the fat from you inch by inch with just this sentence!" Arkham finally roared, "I told you that you were at Moser. It’s fine for Ollie to mess around. After all, in this city, you, I can say a few words. Even if you don’t have the brains to provoke someone who can’t be messed with, there are still people who I watch you don’t mess with you .But if you go outside, you have to give me peace. There are not many generals in the Empire, but there are not many. Even Marshal Rodek doesn’t allow his son to mess around outside, not to mention you, I’m just a minor. General Zhenjiang. Of course, Rodek’s son is much better than you, and people will not forget who he is when he sees a woman like you."
"Then you say what can I do!" Austin wailed: "I don't have your fighting talent, and my accomplishment is like this. Do you think I like this? But if I don't find something to do, I will be crazy Yes! Every day I wake up, I hear people whispering behind their backs. They will say, look, that fat pig turned out to be the son of General Arkham. Hey, the tiger father gave birth to a dog son, no no no, exactly Say it's a pig! A pig!"
Arkham sighed, knelt down and hugged Austin and said, "I never asked you to reach
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The same height as me, even more than me. "
"I know, but others won't pay attention to this. Just like the white-haired boy on the Golden Bridge, I only see contempt in his eyes. There are many people like him!"
"Don't worry, no one can look down on my son. Viscount doesn't work either, but in that case, I can only do that. I hope you can understand my dear Austin." Arkham patted his son on the shoulder and squinted. He squinted his eyes and said: "As for that adult, don't worry. He has given us father and son so much embarrassment, and it's hard to justify that there is no return."
Four days later, Allen saw Frostwind City.
This is the first ten-thousand-thousand-level city seen when entering the Northland. The Frostwind City is adjacent to the Coldridge Mountains. The city was built on the gentle of one of the mountains. Across a river winding from the northwest highlands, you can see a piece of farmland. At this moment, it is an important season for spring plowing. The farmers in Frostwind City draw rivers into the irrigated fields and plant new seedlings, making the farmland in front of Frostwind City full of greenery.
The gray walls of Frostwind City are tall and short, one after another, unfolding continuously according to the mountain. This city has a long history, and if you look from a distance, you can see the ancient statues of temples, altars and assembly squares scattered on the hillside. On the top square of Frostwind City, there is also an old white poplar planted. It is said that the tree was planted by the pioneers of Frostwind City. By now, that white poplar has become a symbol of the city.
Due to the cold ridge mountain range, in winter, ice wind will blow from the depths of the mountain range and whizz across Frostwind City. Here you can hear the whistling of the north wind all winter, which is the origin of Frostwind City's name. And it is the last city to enter the Coldridge Mountains, so it plays an important role as a supply point.
Allen and the others are here in spring. If they come across the winter snow, they can see the white makeup of the buildings in the city. As for now, after the snow has been cleared, the buildings of this ancient city are seen from a distance in shades of gray and black, which are far less stunning than those seen in winter.
The caravan pays taxes into the city.
After finding a hotel to stay, Edward and Sean went to Zhang Luo caravan to supply supplies, while Fares went to hire a guide in the city. There are many mountain roads in the Cold Ridge Mountains. The large and small mountain roads form a complex network like a spider web. It is only for the experienced guides of Frostwind City to know which way to go to pass the mountain. This has also become the city. One of the characteristic industries.
As for Alan, he led Lucy and Regis to find a prestigious tavern. The highland black goat, which is unique to Frostwind City, is a well-known delicacy far and near. The goat is skinned and cooked with onions, black pepper, cooking wine and several other ingredients. This is the famous delicacy of Frostwind City. The pub that Allen and the others walked into is famous for making goat meat.
A few people walked into the tavern, and the people in the tavern glanced at them who were obviously outsiders, and didn't care. After all, Frostwind City has people coming and going, and the residents in the city have long been used to seeing strangers. Besides, in the tavern, there are also a few tables that are obviously foreign merchants, which can be roughly distinguished from the costumes. They found a table near the window. After Allen ordered lamb, wine and other accompaniments, he said to Lucy and Adele: "I heard that meat here is delicious only when you catch it with your hands. Want to try
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Try. "
The two girls frowned, apparently this kind of rude eating is unique in their lives. Laura had such an expression as she should have said, "You have too much food processing. In our clan, the prey caught from the mountains is peeled and roasted and sprinkled with salt to eat. After being smoked by the fire, the barbecue with a touch of woody fragrance is supremely delicious."
Allen laughed and said, "The roast lamb that will be here for a while is probably to your appetite, and a few more glasses of wine will make everyone drunk here tonight."
Regis snorted, "I want juice." Since the Moseral incident last time, the boy has been overshadowed by wine, and now he doesn't drink it to death. Soon the food and wine came up, and the roast lamb that Allen ordered was indeed placed on a large plate. The lamb was mixed with many spices and had an unusually seductive color on the light. Lucy and the girls were relieved that after years of continuous improvement in the pub, they finally prepared more cutlery for the guests to take care of those who could not change their habits.
When the people started eating and drinking, the door of the tavern opened again, and three men walked in. They all wore the hooded cloak common to business travelers, and wrapped their bodies tightly. However, the three people under the cloak were a bit bloated, and they kept making metal tapping sounds when they walked around. It is not difficult to guess that they are all wearing armor under the cloak, and they are of the heavy type. This is relatively rare in caravans. In most places, for the convenience of travel, the caravan's guard equipment is basically light armor.
When they entered the door, they looked at Alan's table. Alan raised his head, leading the man with a slight jaw, and walked to the corner of the tavern with the two behind.
Regis looked back at them and said, "These people have been behind us for the first two days."
Allen nodded and said: "It's the Spring Festival. There are a lot of people going north and south on the commercial road. Maybe they just go north. Don't worry, Edward has asked people to keep an eye on them. If there is any change, I will immediately know."
Regis just bowed his head and started eating.
When they returned to the hotel in the evening, Fares brought a guide to see Alan. The guide is not young, his hair is gray, but he is full of energy. Most men from the North are physically strong ~EbookFREE.me~ especially in places like Frostwind City. Although this old man is old, he can walk vigorously, so he doesn't have to worry about taking care of him on the way. He bowed when he saw Alan, "Ian is willing to serve you, my lord."
Fares added: "Daddy Ian is one of the most experienced guides in the city. Daddy has been in and out of the Coldridge Mountains hundreds of times."
"Accurately, it was 127 times. To me, the plants and trees in that mountain range are as familiar as my own back garden." Daddy Ian raised his head and said proudly with a bright face.
Allen smiled, took out a money pouch and put it in the old man's hands: "This is a deposit, and I will pay the rest of the money when I get out of the mountains."
Ian weighed the money pouch with his hand, and then roughly estimated how much money was in it. Knowing that the deposit is about 20% higher than normal, he now has a good impression of Alan's simplicity and magnanimity. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, my lord."
ps: Pay the debt today and continue to break out!
