News about the Duke's military order quickly spread throughout Ice Rock City.

There was a scene of joy in the city.

Everyone believes that as long as Marquis Garcia personally takes action, the revenge battle will be certain.

Of course, to say it's a sure thing is to be modest.

After all, the Black Cavalry Army has never suffered a defeat since it officially formed an army.

But Colin was not too happy.

And, as the days passed, his worries grew.

Because Marquis Garcia seemed to have no intention of leading troops northward.

Moreover, the private armies of various northern lords are constantly gathering towards Ice Rock City, almost turning the entire city into a huge military camp.

As more and more soldiers poured into Ice Rock City, the confidence of the people in the city also increased.

In their opinion, this should be the lords responding to Marquis Garcia's call, preparing to gather people and cooperate with the Black Cavalry to fight back to the Sky Ice Field.

However, Colin, who knew the original text of the Duke's military order, was not so optimistic.

Because he clearly remembered that Knight Bliss told him personally that the Duke's order was for Marquis Garcia to lead the Black Cavalry to pursue the trolls, but he was never asked to summon the private armies of the lords to attack together!

Did the Marquis of Garcia lie about the Duke's military orders?

What did he want to do by gathering so many troops?

Are you really planning to attack the Cangqiong Icefield?

still……

Colin's ominous premonition became more and more serious.

For ten consecutive days, there was still no movement from the Black Cavalry, while the private armies of the lords in the north gathered more and more.

Seeing that the situation was about to slide into the most dangerous abyss, Ice Rock City was almost turning into a huge powder keg, and Colin was already ready to run away.

But at this time, he suddenly received news from Vera.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"Miss Vera wants to see me?"

"Yes."

Under the gaze of the maid, Colin hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay, lead the way."

The maid led Colin into the Sudor family's castle and to a garden in the backyard of the castle.

In the garden, Colin saw Vera's figure at a glance.

Not seen for a long time, this female mage has lost a lot of weight.

It seems that she is also worried about the current tense situation.

"Colin, you're here!"

Under the early morning sunshine, Vera looked calm and tranquil.

She was not dressed in aristocratic attire today, but in simple homely attire.

The upper body is a thin white shirt and the lower body is a black skirt. There is a small rose flower embroidered on the left breast of the shirt and the skirt corner of the skirt.

However, even such a simple outfit cannot conceal her stunning beauty.

When Colin came in, she was concentrating on tending to a plant in the garden.

After seeing Colin, Vera smiled and waved to him, as if a girl was greeting her first love.

I don’t know why, but when he saw Vera, Colin’s originally anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

He walked over and bowed: "Good morning, Miss Vera."

"Good morning, Colin. Have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Cafe."

Vera motioned to the maid to bring a cup of coffee.

Colin thanked him and took it, taking a sip.

After the strong bitterness enters the mouth, it turns into a light sweetness, with some refreshing fragrance.

"It's not bad." Vera smiled slightly after seeing Colin's expression of enjoyment, "This is the collection of the Suduo family."

"Haha, then I still take advantage of you."

Colin held the coffee cup, squatted down next to Vera, looked at the plant in front of her and asked: "Is this the flower you planted?"

"This is not a flower." Vera shook her head. "This is twin grass, a plant that is extremely precious to mages. Moreover, it was not planted by me. It was given to me by Knight Kahn."

"Yes, it seems that Knight Karn is really generous!"

He was delivering coffee and precious plants. In order to please Vera, Kahn wouldn't have emptied the Sudo family's wealth, right?

Although Colin praised this kind of man on the surface, he had already cursed him in his heart——

Bah, lick the dog!

This kind of dog-licking can be said to be the public enemy of all men, because their behavior raises the psychological expectations of girls and greatly damages the interests of other men.

Take Colin, for example. He doesn't know what gift to give to Vera now. He almost can't get it, and even better... seems like he can't afford it.

Vera didn't know the psychological activities of the man next to her. She stared at the twin grass in front of her, suddenly sighed and said leisurely:

"Did you know? This twin plant looks like one plant, but it's actually a pair.

Since their birth, the branches of this pair of twin grasses have been intertwined together to support each other, but they were intertwined too tightly and tortured each other.

Do you see that drop of light green juice?

That's what their branches are twisting around each other and squeezing. "

As he spoke, the drop of juice gradually took shape and suddenly fell.

The drops fell into the soil but did not penetrate into it, but turned into an amber-like green gem.

Vera carefully picked up the green gem and explained: "This is the crystallization of the juice of the twin grasses. It is an extremely precious material for casting spells. However, these are actually the blood and tears they shed when they tortured each other."

It was the first time for Colin to see this magical plant, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks out of curiosity.

But then, he realized that there seemed to be something behind Vera's words.

Is the relationship between the two brothers, the Duke of Saint Hilde and the Marquis of Garcia, just like this twin plant, supporting each other but also confronting each other?

Vera put away the twin grass crystal, turned around, and said to Colin: "You should know that my father and uncle are having some quarrels now, so can you help me persuade them?"

Your father and your uncle are not only having a bit of a quarrel right now...

Colin was speechless for a while, but on the surface he comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. However, I am an outsider...it's not easy to persuade me. Have you tried to persuade me yourself?"

"Of course I have advised her." Vera puffed up her cheeks, seeming a little angry, "But my uncle ignored my advice at all. As for my father, I have written two letters and sent them to Winter City, but they were both "The stone sinks into the sea."

Colin was silent.

Vera was a little anxious: "Did you know? I recently received news that the Golden Lion Army has begun to gather, and it seems that they intend to march to Ice Rock City!"

Colin was shocked.

The Golden Lion Army is the direct army of the Saint Hilde family. If this army is also mobilized, it would mean that Duke Saint Hilde has made an uncompromising attitude and is even ready to die together. Already?

"Colin, you always find a way out of desperate situations. This time, you must help me too!"

Facing Vera's soft request, Colin was completely unable to say no.

At this time, he finally understood what "beauties bring disaster".

"Okay. I'll go with you to see Marquis Garcia."

"Thank you, Colin!"

"Don't be too happy first. I can only try my best to persuade you. As for whether I can succeed..."

“Whether it’s successful or not, I’ll be grateful!”
