i have a shelter.

The nobles stopped their horses, and the procession also stopped.

He raised his head proudly, and glanced up and down at the businessman blocking the door with his eyes.Then, a knight next to him stared at him, swung his whip and whipped him in the face.

"A mangy dog ​​with no eyes!"

In a blink of an eye, the whip had slapped the young man's face fiercely, causing his head to tilt slightly.However, it may be that the whip has been a little dilapidated from years of use, and it seems to have been whipped on a stone overnight, and it broke with a crackling sound.

The people on the horse stared blankly at the whip head flying into the air. George scratched his slightly flushed face. Then, he put his fingers under his tongue and blew a weird whistle.

"Horse bandit?" Hearing the whistle, the nobleman's eyes widened.

0173 Really smart

Under the arrangement of Baron Garvey, the manor house has been tidied up very well.Braziers were set up in every room and people lived there.

But the knights still like to sleep in the hall on the first floor, after all, it is more spacious here, and the fire pit is also very warm.Chat and drink before going to bed, just like when I used to live in the shelter tavern.

However, after another group of travelers squeezed into the big house, the spacious hall also seemed a little crowded and lively.

Martin, who was shirtless, let out a breath, handed the whip to Volp, wiped the sweat from his body, picked up the wine bag and sat on the bench, leaning on Lord Viscount Gast's shoulder Rest up.

The furious curses in the hall gradually sounded again in the whip.The Lord Viscount looked at those knights kneeling on the ground motionless, only exhaled, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.

Even the increasingly dizzy head suddenly woke up a bit.

"Damn, I really can't help but throw those silent guys into the snow." Martin took a sip of wine, rubbed his chest and looked at the silent Viscount beside him, and said softly : "Don't be afraid, Gast. We are all serious Templars, not horse bandits. You continue your business. I was a little busy just now, so I didn't quite hear who you said you planned to visit?"

"It's going to Tulip Manor. Sir Martin's situation is getting worse after those giants descended from the mountain. The Earl has been suffering from a headache these days. We, the retainers, have to discuss how to share the worries for the Patriarch."

Anthony sat diagonally across from him, asking a few words from time to time.At his prompt, Rona, who was sitting on the small bench on the other side, took a pen in her hand and jotted down all the important points.

This is already the second questioning, but in this questioning, Anthony fed him something to drink.

When the lord and Garvey came down from upstairs, Gast's story was almost halfway through.

When Martin saw the lord coming, he quickly got up and moved a chair for him, and said, "Boss, this greasy-faced aristocrat is a big shot. He knows a lot! And this guy is a human trafficker!"

"Indeed, my lord. Viscount Gast was doing some population business before the age of mist. Because he has some relationship with the southern country, he even has many overseas ships. He has always had a lot of very good resources in his hands. We used to send them to the west of the valley. Most of the population will also flow into his hands." Garvey nodded and said, he stood beside George's chair: "After the disaster came, his status was not low, because of his extensive connections, he was in Guxi. His status has become higher, he often visits the manor castles of various nobles, and often meets the Earl. He is the most trusted one among the four viscounts who are still alive."

Speaking of this, he laughed: "Today is really a coincidence, my lord. If Sir Carroll is here, I don't know what his expression will be."

George nodded.It was indeed a coincidence.

The Viscount Gast, who is about forty years old and slightly older than Carroll, is one of the four knight lords and the nephew of Sir Carroll.

Although they are blood relatives, the two of them don't have much contact with each other.Most of the time, it was Carol who was far away in Gudong, fooling around in the name of his nephew.

This also allowed Sir Carol, who was not very capable, to live to this day.

"Those giants are numerous, and they are intelligent, but they are very cruel." Lord Gast, who was on the bench, touched his dizzy head, and continued to talk.

"Wisdom? Let me make sure again, are those giants living in groups?" Anthony said: "How tall?"

At this time, Gast's head was getting more and more dizzy. After hearing the question, he blinked his dazed eyes and replied: "Yes, my lord, I have seen a dead one, about four Personally tall."

"Any other features?" Anthony asked.

"Fat and strong, blue and white skin, tattooed. Can use weapons, wear clothes. Has horns on his head"

Viscount Gast's words sparked a discussion among the lively knights around. Among the giants they had seen and the legends they had heard, there was nothing like this.

"Do they like shiny things?" Anthony asked, frowning.

"Yes, my lord. In the pocket of the dead giant we found gold coins"

There was a buzzing sound in the hall, and the knights who were watching couldn't help becoming more lively.Even Volpe put down the whip in his hand and took a sip of wine with great interest.

"Write it down, Rona." Anthony said: "These thick and fat things are Lord Viscount Gast, the snow ogre. Please continue."

"The honorable Earl of Black Pearl told us that the giant tribe has been expelled to the mountains by her knights. But after a while, those horrible hungry monsters came around from the other side."

"My Lady Countess sent knights into the forest, intending to wipe out that tribe completely. But the situation became worse. The giants are afraid of the Black Pearl Knight, but they are not afraid of us. They can always come down from somewhere in the forest and attack us territory, plundering our property”

"No matter how strong the city wall is, it will be vulnerable to them, and no knight, no armor, will be able to withstand them all at once."

"That stupid woman is not fit to be a leader at all! She is too indecisive!"

Speaking of this, Gast suddenly became a little sober, and he was covered in cold sweat. He looked at the knights in red robes in front of him, and there was a look of incomparable horror in his eyes.

"No, don't miss, I have forgiven my unintentional words, you, you beg you"

But after Anthony poured him another tube of the stuff, the guy started feeling dizzy again.

Martin leaned on George's side and said, "I feel that this kid is less afraid of that demon leader than those rose knights in red robes."

"Rose Knight? What does it have to do with Rose Manor?" George had never heard of such a ride beside the Countess of Black Pearl.

"I heard that there are seven of them. They wear blood-red battle armor and battle robes. Their identities are very mysterious. No one has seen their faces. But there are rumors that they should have been some lords."

George rubbed his chin.For some reason, he suddenly recalled Hunt's old hunter and the baron who died in the castle.

After the potion took effect, George opened his mouth.

"I want to ask, Lord Gast." George said with narrowed eyes, "How long has it been since Elizabeth sent the knights to the mountains?"

"It's been a while since I came back from the Ice and Snow Festival. I went out again after the next year."

"So how long does it take to come back each time?"

"Those giants have recently started going down the mountain again, and the tribe should have been dispersed again. Knights, they should be back soon, at most five or six days."

"How many people did they go?"

"At least half of it went this time."

George's eyes became a little weird. After a moment of silence, he asked Anthony: "Can you identify the identities of those blood descendants, and even track their locations?"

"I can help you with divination for a while." Anthony replied.

George's face darkened.

"Just kidding, George. It's actually not difficult to track a person. Hair, nails, etc. can be used. As for tracking a group of people, if they are blood descendants, it's actually easier to bleed Elizabeth. That's it, George. , other people's blood is also fine. But Elizabeth is the source of the blood of the valley. Her blood is the noblest of the blood of the valley. And the more noble the blood used, the better the effect of the thing will be."

George said with some doubts: "Can Elizabeth also trace the location of those blood descendants?"

"It depends on the situation. If she often sucks living people, even if she is not of her blood, she can sense it from a long distance. Otherwise, even if she is of direct blood, she can only feel the approximate direction."

"Well, Anthony, can the alchemy wonders you mentioned be mass-produced?"
