May in the Northern Frontier was the season of the year when the rain was the heaviest.
It was obviously noon but the sky was already covered with dark clouds and there was no sunlight at all. The surrounding environment was as dark as the night and even the most inexperienced traveler knew that a storm was coming.
Colin looked at the dark clouds above his head and ordered Knight Roger who was beside him, "The rain is not going to be light. Ask the soldiers to set up camp here. We will continue to move forward after lunch."
"Yes, Sir Viscounts!"
As soon as Knight Roger left, Colin felt a slight chill on his forehead.
The rain had already arrived.
Colin dismounted from his horse and walked towards the carriage next to him.
As soon as he climbed up the wooden stairs, the door of the car was opened. A beautiful face that was both angry and happy at the same time poked out and welcomed Colin into the car.
As soon as the door was closed, Vera stretched out her white and round arms and hooked Colin's neck. She gave him a lingering kiss and then carefully helped Colin take off his cloak and armor. She then squatted down and helped him take off his leather boots.
Enjoying the gentleness of his newly married wife, Colin smiled and said, "The storm is coming. I am afraid that we will have to wait here for a while before we leave."
"Well, okay." Vera nodded obediently. She suddenly thought of something and her ears suddenly turned red.
It was raining heavily outside the carriage but it was warm and peaceful inside the carriage. Vera was only wearing a knee-length sleeveless silk nightgown. Her smooth and straight legs were exposed under the nightgown and she was not wearing any shoes on her feet. She was stepping on the white cashmere carpet.
Her golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, revealing her white and slender neck. Because she was squatting down, her round buttocks were full and attractive.
Vera blushed and raised her head as if she could feel Colin's burning gaze. She stretched out her hand and swept her hair to the side so that her chest could be seen clearly.
Colin immediately reached out and held his wife's slender waist before he carried her to the soft bed at the back of the carriage.
The wind was whistling and the carriage was shaking slightly.
Raindrops the size of beans hit the car window, covering the sound of ecstasy in the car.
…
After a storm, the sky gradually cleared up.
Colin pulled back a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
Vera rested her delicate chin on Colin's shoulder and said in an extremely languid tone, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything.
"Colin, are we leaving?"
"Yes, we need to get to the Golden Lion Legion's encampment as soon as possible.
"With you by my side, how can it be hard for me?" Vera smiled before she kissed him again.
After being intimate for a while, Colin walked out of the carriage.
Knight Roger, who was standing guard not far away, immediately walked over and reported, "Sir Viscounts, the messenger of the Morrison Family has found us. Would you like to meet him?"
"Morrison Family? Alright, bring him here. "
The lords of this world had strict rules when they went out. This was not only to show their status, but also to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
If they wanted to pass through the territories of other lords, they would need to send a messenger in advance to inform the local lord of their identity, the number of people accompanying them, the destination, and other information. After the local lord received the message, he could make preparations to receive the distinguished guest in advance.
However, Colin's trip was obviously not going to follow this procedure. Otherwise, the Golden Lion Legion would have already been attacked by the dwarf army from both sides by the time he arrived at the Rapids River.
What's more, the soldiers accompanying him this time were obviously beyond the standard of an ordinary lord. Strictly speaking, it was an expedition.
It was reasonable to say that such a troop movement must be approved by the lord of the Northern Frontier before the other lords along the way would let them go.
However, under the current situation, the Northern Frontier was already a mess. The Dukes Of The North were already dead. Therefore, Colin did not care about this rule and did not inform the local lords along the way.
Although their whereabouts would be discovered by the patrolling sentries, in the face of the Black Cavalry's flag, these sentries did not dare to step forward to stop them.
Of course, the lords along the way who received the news would definitely not invite an uninvited guest like Colin into the castle.
Therefore, this Count Morrison was the first lord to send an invitation to Colin.
"Respected Viscounts, welcome to the Morrison Domain! The Count has ordered me to come and invite you and your wife to the Phoenix-Butterfly Castle as guests! "
After the messenger of the Morrison Family finished speaking, he respectfully handed over an invitation.
Colin took it and glanced at it. He was a little hesitant.
He did not want to waste time along the way, but facing the Morrison Family who took the initiative to invite him, he felt that it was inappropriate to directly refuse.
First of all, this was a count's family and had enough value to win them over.
Secondly, the current Count Morrison had dealt with Colin before, and Colin had a good impression of him.
Moreover, the Morrison Family was a loyal follower of the House of Saint Hilde. Perhaps he could gain a powerful ally in this trip to the Phoenix-Butterfly Castle.
Moreover, after this storm, the ground was slippery, and the cavalry could not advance at full speed. It would be better to go to the Phoenix-Butterfly Castle to rest for the night and set off the next day.
Thinking of this, Colin nodded and accepted the other party's invitation, "It is my honor to be a guest of the Morrison Family!"
Under Colin's command, the Black Cavalry started to turn.
After traveling for about half an hour, they saw the outline of a city.
That was the Flowertalk City under the rule of the Morrison Family.
This city had been run by the Morrison Family for more than three hundred years. After several renovations and expansions, it had already become one of the largest cities in the central part of the Northern Frontier.
Flowertalk City was famous for its flowers, especially the unique Black Tulips here, which had once set off a craze in the Radiance Empire.
At the craziest time, the price of a Black Tulip was enough to equip a company of a hundred soldiers.
However, this craze also put the Morrison Family on the cusp of the storm. Countless greedy and covetous eyes made this family, which was not known for its military strength, almost suffer a disaster.
Fortunately, Earl Morrison was sober enough at that time, and he immediately publicized the cultivation method of the Black Tulip, which made the price of the Black Tulip plummet. Although the Morrison Family lost a money tree because of this, they also avoided the danger of being overthrown.
Scholar Dwayne, who was riding beside Colin, suddenly smiled and said, "Sir Viscounts, do you know? Earl Morrison also once asked the Duke Of St. Hilde to marry Miss Vera. "
"Oh?" Colin was stunned, "Then, the reason why the Duke did not send me a marriage proposal was because he was hesitant between me and Earl Morrison?"
Scholar Dwayne shrugged, "I don't know about this. Sometimes, I can't understand the Duke's thoughts. However, I guess that Earl Morrison will definitely ask Miss Vera for help later. "
"Help with what?" Colin suddenly became vigilant.
"Help him marry a daughter of the House of Saint Hilde. Of course, there is no daughter of the House of Saint Hilde, but there are still collateral descendants. "
Colin was relieved and smiled, "This should not be a big problem."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was also lifted, and Vera poked her head out and explained softly.
"Colin, the Morrison Family has always liked to marry the House of Saint Hilde. In recent years, almost every wife of Earl Morrison has been born in the House of Saint Hilde."
Colin suddenly laughed, "What are they doing? Are they trying to improve their bloodline?"
Scholar Dwayne's eyes flashed, "Yes. Who doesn't want to give birth to a Paladin in their family? However, it seems that no one has ever succeeded in improving their bloodline by marrying a noble daughter of a Paladin family.
More than a thousand years have passed, and the number of Paladin families in the Empire of Light has only decreased.
Therefore, most families have now given up this extravagant hope, and the daughter of a Paladin family is not as popular as before.
However, this Morrison Family seems to have not given up yet.
Maybe they think that a noble bloodline can be artificially cultivated like a precious tulip. "
Colin looked at the smile on Scholar Dwayne's face and suddenly became interested.
What kind of secret was hidden in the Paladin bloodline?
And what exactly had the Morrison Family researched?
While they were talking, Floral City was already in front of them.
Earl Morrison, who was dressed in splendid clothes, was standing in front of the city gate. When he saw Colin and the others, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them.
"Honorable Viscount Angley, Madam Viscounts, welcome to Floral City!"
