Chapter 86

Sir Aaron did not doubt whether what Lauren said was true or not. In addition to the little trust relationship just established, it is more important not to put the count in such a dangerous place.

Whether there are more than a dozen ogres in the forest or not, they can't continue to stay - there is only one day left from here to shenlinbao.

As it was getting late, the assembled Knights mounted their horses, held torches to protect the young count in the center and set off in the direction of Shenlin castle.

Because they were on their way all night, all the knights were silent and carefully vigilant around. Collapsed roads and groups of wild animals may kill everyone.

Lu Wen, who was riding a war horse, also kept silent with his head down. Only his frown and blackened seal hall could let the people who saw him understand how angry the count was now.

Lauren, who followed him, showed a thoughtful expression. He vaguely remembered that the ogres lived in the forest closer to the west, and there should be no settlement of these monsters in the territory of the Duke of lottel.

So how did these ogres get here?

There should be only two possibilities to explain - perhaps only a small group of Ogres crossed the mountains and forests in the West and broke into the Duke's territory, so they were not found.

On the other hand, something happened to the count of shenlinbao at the border, so that these ogres could break through the direction of the border and enter the hinterland of the Duke at will.

Whatever the reason, the Seine family responsible for defending the Duke's border is to blame. If only a few farms or hunters were killed, it might not be a big deal; But it was the heir of the Fred family who almost had an accident this time!

Just when they left not far away, everyone heard the continuous and deafening roar behind them. The roar became very clear against the silent night.

The originally cautious Knights immediately became nervous, and even several people couldn't help but want to see clearly, but they didn't have the courage to look back, and clung to the saddle like they were frozen.

"Cheer me up and keep going!"

Sir Aaron's roar directly overshadowed the sound from a distance: "keep your eyes on the front and don't look back. Those monsters can't keep up with us!"

In a few words, the knights who had just been a little flustered recovered their senses, held up their torches and left the ogre's roar behind.

At dawn, before the sky was clear, the party arrived at a tower on the border of shenlinbao.

Stationed here is a branch of the Seine family. It opened the door after it saw who it was. The owner of the tower is also the owner of the nearby manor. An old gentleman who claimed to be a baron hurriedly gave his room to Lu Wen, and was very enthusiastic to prepare hot food and drinks for everyone.

The knights who had been driving all night were really tired. After discussion, they decided to wait until noon. Sitting around in the tower living room, enjoying rare hot soup and bread, calm yourself with mellow ale.

The young count had no appetite. He ate a few pieces of bread and went back to the room. When he left, he called Loren by the way. Without hesitation, the thoughtful black haired wizard left after leaving the Baron's master.

In the narrow little bedroom, there was only a dim yellow candle. Lu Wen looked decadent under the candlelight, and his spirit seemed to be depressed after driving all night.

"Your Excellency?"

Looking up and seeing Lauren coming in, Lu Wen moved a chair and sighed, "there are not so many rules. Sit down and have a drink with me."

The dark haired wizard who sat down took the cup from him and drank it up. The young count smiled and drank up the wine in one breath.

"You look a little uncomfortable. Is it because you're too tired?" Lauren asked casually while helping the other party pour the wine. "Or... What's on your mind?"

"Do I look so bad?" Lu wenleng said with a bitter smile. "Maybe it's really because I'm too tired. I'm a little out of breath."

"Oh, yes, I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't pressed me in time, I would have become meat sauce with that horse!"

"I am your wizard adviser, and it is my duty and duty to protect you." Loren's face showed a formulaic smile: "there is no need to thank you for this kind of thing, count."

"Don't be so angry. There's no one else here. Just call me ruwen - that's what Aaron called privately." the count waved his hand carelessly, and his eyes finally looked a little more: "the game you played with him was really wonderful. Those who can tie with him can count with one hand in the whole Duke!"

"In fact, I was dying at that time." Lauren smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Sir Aaron is really powerful. I'm too arrogant, count big... Reuven."

After seeing each other's eyes, Loren immediately changed his mouth, and the countess's face showed a satisfied smile.

"In fact, from the time I inherited the title of earl, I knew what my father was going to do - he wanted to borrow my hand to take shenlinbao from the Seine family, a thing that the Fred family wanted to do for generations."

After a few drinks, Lu Wen finally began to let go of his guard and talked with Loren. The smiling black haired wizard inadvertently put down his glass and poured a full glass for the other party.

"I have nothing to object to. I just obey my father's orders. To be honest, I don't even think it's bad for the Seine family to continue to manage here. Just let them go. Even if they rebel again, they will be defeated?"

"It may sound very seedless, but I'm just going to spend a few years." Lu Wen drank another cup and sighed deeply: "at that time, let my father give it to one of my cousins or be robbed back by the Seine family. Anyway, it's none of my business."

Looking at each other's decadent appearance, Lauren hesitated for a moment and slowly opened his mouth:

"In fact, I think you have only been hit temporarily. Your heart must want to be a competent count."

Lauren with flashing eyes looked at his expression: "people like you can make a career."

"How do you know?"

"I don't know, but I believe in the Duke's judgment - because of his permission, I can sit in front of you at vimpal college today."

"The Duke is the ruler of the whole principality. As long as he wants, he has a thousand reasons to take back Shenlin castle, but why did he choose you?" the smiling Loren coaxed him, looking at the count's thoughtful expression, quietly aroused the corners of his mouth.

There was a slight vibration on the floor. Lauren speculated that someone must be eavesdropping outside the door, and I'm afraid it was Sir Aaron.

But I'm afraid I'll disappoint him - at least for now, Loren still hopes that the young count can do something. After all, his identity and status are closely related to him. If he has an accident, he seems to have no choice but to go back and be a wandering knight.

For the current Loren, winning the trust of Luwen is the most favorable choice.

"Because he believes you can do all this, you are his successor, and his trust in you must be beyond imagination!" the black haired wizard smiled sincerely: "why don't you try?"

Slowly put down the wine glass. Lu Wen, whose eyes became clearer and clearer, nodded to Loren: "you are right. Since my father gave me this opportunity, I should cherish it, no matter what the final result is!"

"Speaking of this." although a little drunk, ruwen hasn't lost his mind: "do you think the ogre thing will be a member of the Seine family..."

"I don't think it's possible. Ogres are not intelligent monsters. They have a high risk of sneaking attacks and failure." Loren knew what the other party wanted to ask, shook his head cautiously, but showed a funny smile:

"But... It's really a good excuse."
