Chapter 995
"Do you really think that I am impulsive?"
Gazed at the black hair wizard who was stunned, the female count who had recovered her calm smiled softly.
It’s just those self-deprecating laughs, it’s really a bit...
"Charlotte..."
"I love you—that's right, Although this seems very irrational, this is what I really think." I don’t know how many times I interrupted, the female count stared at the black hair wizard with scorching eyes:
"Although you act impulsively , Believe oneself infallible, arrogant, rude, arrogant and ignorant, keen to break other people’s plans, and always go on its own without saying hello, don’t want to be discovered by others, but keen to explore other people’s secrets, humiliating in various ways Others..."
"..." Loren · Torino.
"But I can’t deny that in my deep in one's heart...I have a good impression of you, otherwise I can’t explain what I would do to you...such a person, always remind me!"
"Apart from this, what you have done in the past few years has also proved that you are a qualified Duke of Byrne... marrying you is within the scope of my acceptance."
took a deep breath, Charlotte, who has been flushed, is still high and graceful: "So yes, I admit that I want to possess you, have all of you and make me yours All...this idea of'conquest' has been there since the day you became a duke."
"So frankly, I don't care if you love me or not, but I want you …It’s that simple, even if it’s only in name, I will make you my thing!"
"Is this explanation clear enough?"
Pick, the proud female count issued an ultimatum.
Clear, and if it is clear, it cannot be clearer.
This is the demeanor of the Scarlet Blood Castle female count.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Loren, who was dragged by the collar tightly, was forced to look at Charlotte, who was lowering himself. What he was thinking desperately was how to step down.
"That...no intention to disturb, but..."
The door shaft sounded and the locked door was pushed open.
Lina Desalion, who cautiously pushed her glasses frame, said with a weak voice like a plume of smoke: "You guys, can I come in and talk?"
The face under the black-rimmed glasses was so kind in Loren's eyes for the first time!
"Please come in, please speak!"
Cautiously opened the door, and cautiously looked at the black hair wizard and the female count-the room was very tidy and the two of them were very tidy. Neat, nothing special.
Lina Desalion’s ruby eyes flashed with disappointment under the black-rimmed glasses.
"The Duke...and your Excellency count, your guests are basically here-those who should or shouldn't come, and those who know and don't know are here."
" What does it mean to come or not?"
Loren's expression is inexplicable.
"This is a celebration, but also a wedding—anyone with an impure purpose shouldn't come." Lena Desalion pushed her glasses and whispered:
"Arles, the Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Sky Palace have all sent envoys. They are asking for money, crying poor, and tempting... none of them are well-intentioned."
"I don’t know. Did you know?" Charlotte couldn't help asking.
"Ah, this is much simpler to explain." Turning her head, Lena said to Loren in a particularly flat tone:
"Your Excellency, among your guests There is a dragon."
"...?!"
At that moment, Loren and Charlotte looked towards each other at the same time, looking at each other in blank dismay.
"It...or should it be him? Forget it, he is now outside the city gate of Scarlet Blood Castle. The city has been chaotic. Storm Castle count and Rock Castle count are organizing manpower warnings and suppression. Your guard Lucien took Fiend hunter and surrounded the big red guy."
The big red guy...
Grum?
Loren's mind immediately thought of a grumpy, but still calm red giant dragon-during the Battle of Eboden, he was the first to react to destroy the Elf fleet, and in Ai After Olite was killed, he did not retaliate immediately but chose to retreat.
In all fairness, Loren still has a good impression of him... Why did he suddenly come to the Scarlet Blood Castle?
"They all think you should go there...well, actually I think so too." Lena Desalion said seriously:
"If...you I don’t want to see my castle being demolished by him."
…………………………
When the black hair wizard arrived in a hurry At that time, I found that the situation was far from what a certain "girl with black-rimmed glasses" described, as if the Scarlet Blood Castle would be over in the next second.
Besides the city gate, the Byrne Knight and the counts who arrived in an emergency just blocked the road and the city wall, maintained law and order, and dispelled most of the people watching the bustle, so as not to cause riots—especially This is the time when a banquet will be held and the people will gather.
As for a certain Skywing leader Lu Sien who "surrounded" the giant dragon, he just surrounded Fiend Hunter in a circle on the open ground outside the city, reporting to him at any time.
The crimson giant dragon Grum, the "flood beast" in the wilderness outside Scarlet Castle, proudly stands up the dragon's head, and looks down at the "small silhouette" facing his pointing fingers. , And also a look of interest.
"What's going on?"
The black hair wizard with a twitching mouth turned his head and looked towards the culprit of a "liar to the military": "Lina Desalion Miss, don’t you think you should explain it?"
"Explain, is there anything else I need to explain?" The girl with black-rimmed glasses tilted her head and asked with a more inexplicable expression:
"I lied, it's that simple."
"..." Loren · Torino.
"But I think the Duke of Byrne, who is'exceptionally smart', should be able to understand what is the reason for this." Pushing the frame, Lena Desalion had a profound look in her eyes , Glanced at him inadvertently:
"When he understands, he will know how much he owes me."
took a deep breath, Loren still did not say what.
If it weren't for Lena, Charlotte would probably continue to be reluctant-she did so, at least for a little bit of leeway for herself.
"Actually, when Charlotte and I mentioned her plan, I guessed it might be the result."
It was still the face of indifference to everything. , Lina Dessalion lazily said: "Although she always pretends to be calm, she still overestimates the power of her own reason."
"Especially in encounters, always let When she lost her mind to that guy...especially."
After a moment of stunned, Loren understood something immediately.
"So...you knew it for a long time?!"
"Of course...think about who I have been with for longer in the past three years, are you still her?" Black box The girl in glasses rolled her eyes inadvertently: "My Excellency the Duke of'extraordinarily smart', do you need to ask?"
"... Then why don't you tell me earlier, even if it makes me a little psychologically prepared! "
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I thought I was as smart as you, and I would be able to detect it by myself." With full of sarcasm, Lena Desalion as it should be by rights Looks like:
"even more how...If I revealed in advance, wouldn't it be tantamount to betraying my dear friend Charlotte? And you, the Duke, would not be as grateful to me as you are now. "
After finishing speaking, on her cheek under her black-rimmed glasses, she did not forget the smile of "harmless to human and animals".
"Thank you?" Loren's smile became a little stiff: "You are not afraid that I will tell Charlotte that you secretly inform her behind her back?"
"Of course not." Lena Desalion is not afraid: "You are not the kind of guy who will be boring. This kind of killing one thousand and self-defeating 10,000 is not within your choice."
"The so-called gratitude is nothing more than looking forward to the benefits and needs in the future-considering the closer relationship between you and the female count in the future, you ask me for more days."
pa!
Loren wanted to slap her face especially now, but in the end he still slapped her face.
I almost forgot, this is an arrogant, intellectual, twice as much EQ, and drives Isaac crazy!
Turning his head, the black hair wizard, who dared not say another word, walked in the direction of the scarlet giant dragon like "escape".
The very "interesting" girl with black-rimmed glasses shrugged and said no more, very cleverly following the Duke, following the same steps.
Seeing the Duke coming, the Knights of Byrne moved closer to the sides, shouting angrily to disperse the cheering and cheering around, and clear the way.
[We meet again, Lord Byrne. 】
Hong Zhong’s low growl exploded in the mind of the black hair wizard, and a little arrogant "polite" in the amber dragon eyes:
【If it is because of my turn Up without being invited will cause any confusion, but I hope to understand. 】
Understand...this is what I said.
Can I "do not understand"?
The black hair wizard raised his eyebrows, and neither agreed nor refuted.
But the giant dragon didn't mean to stop, let alone care about Loren's temperament.
[Your friend Lucien told me--of course, maybe he didn't know that I heard him--today is your wedding day, forgive me for not bringing any gifts...]
p>"Dear Lord Grum, please stop being so polite--or else I thought I was not standing in front of a giant dragon, but a human."
Interrupting the opponent coldly, the black hair wizard said blankly: "Just tell me, what are you here for?"
After finishing talking, Loren stood up and stared at Grum. Eye.
The crimson giant dragon with a hideous look also stares at him intently.
There is dead silence.
Because only Loren can hear Grum's words, it is like the Duke is constantly provoking the giant dragon in the eyes of everyone around him.
The depressed atmosphere is very tense.
The tense count of Stormcastle and Rocky Castle tightened the sword in his hand, and even the cold sweat on his forehead dared not raise his hand to wipe it; the fully guarded Fiend hunters stared at the duke and giant dragon. His every move did not relax in the slightest.
Lina Dessalion, who was still at ease just now, also held her breath, her eyes never blinking.
Because she is Desalion...because it is Desalion, she understands that "the wrath of giant dragon" is not a myth, but a natural disaster that can destroy everything.
[Even the queen descendant, no one dared to question the giant dragon... Duke of Byrne, Mirasis is right, you are indeed arrogant. 】
The hideous blood mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl is slightly open, and the voice of the red giant dragon becomes cold:
[Could it be...you are not afraid of your own castle and country, change Into a fire sea? 】
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid."
Loren's answer was very simple, and he didn't care: "But if an agreement has just been reached, it will hurt allies because of a little bit of quarrel, which can only explain The noble silver giant dragon Enzo and the more noble Giant Dragon Race have no sincerity at all."
"Since there is no sincerity, then what is the difference between me offending and not being guilty?"
The eyes of the scarlet giant dragon are more gloomy.
[Then, how does it count as "sincerity" in your eyes-interrupting you several times and not caring about the humiliation? 】
"Of course not. Mutual understanding and respect are the manifestations of sincerity." Loren indifferently said: "And now you stand on my land, facing me and my people, but even the most The least respect is owed, and of course I would think that you are not sincere."
"If you don’t want to see such a situation, it’s easy, just show your sincerity—for example , Tell me your purpose here, what is it?"
The expressionless scarlet giant dragon, the yellow dragon eyes narrowed slightly.
[By Enzo’s order, Jufeng Mountain will honor its promise with the Empire and the Imperial Family of Desalion, and assist you in winning the battle of the Azores until the enemy is completely annihilated or the defeat is admitted. . 】
Grum suppressed the roar of anger, which sounded in Loren's mind.
[Prior to this, our compatriots will be stationed in the gathering places and important fortresses of the empire’s various armies, assisting and sheltering, etc., maintaining communications and ensuring that nothing is lost. 】
The black hair wizard raises his eyebrows, and the other party’s words are the same as they did not say.
"I know all of this, and this is not what I asked." Loren said coldly: "I'm repeating the question-you, respected Crimson Giant Dragon Grum, why did you appear in the Scarlet Blood Fort?"
[This is my answer. 】
This time Grum’s answer is very concise and clear:
[The gathering place and important fortress of the various armies of the empire-Scarlet Blood Fort, is also one of the most important fortresses of the empire one. ]
Well, stationed at the Scarlet Blood Fort?
This is also a fortress, yes, but...this is the south.
When the elves hit here, the empire will soon be subjugated, right? !
I used to be a calm black hair wizard and tried my best to restrain my emotions.
But the flash of eyes was still caught by the scarlet giant dragon-the hideous bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl, unexpectedly revealed a look almost "sly".
Exactly the same as Mirasis.
[As you know, Enzo is not alone with Brandon Desalion, but with you and Brandon to reach an agreement; then to maintain this agreement, both of you exist. 】
【Giant Dragon Race, we will never violate our promise. We will fulfill all our obligations in accordance with the agreed content, and will also strive for the agreement that should belong to us-this is The original words of Lord Enzo. 】
[So from now on, my Grum will serve as the messenger of Jufeng Mountain and stay in the Scarlet Blood Fort! 】
