"Colin, did you not sleep well last night?"
Vera looked at Colin, who was yawning, and asked with concern. At the same time, she handed over a roasted deer leg.
Colin took it and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I was awakened by a few mosquitoes in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep after that."
"Then do you want to take a nap in the afternoon?"
"No, I will continue my journey after lunch. The earlier I withdraw from the Golden Lion Legion, the earlier I can feel at ease."
"Okay." Vera no longer tried to persuade Colin, and she handed him a few pieces of white bread.
Scholar Dwayne's eyes flashed because he saw that when Colin reached out to take the food, there were several obvious scratches on his arm.
However, he didn't ask anything.
Smart people were like this. Even if they saw the problem, they knew that they shouldn't ask.
In fact, Colin also noticed Scholar Dwayne's gaze, but when he saw that the other party pretended not to see it, he took a bite of the roasted deer meat and took the initiative to speak.
"Scholar Dwayne, what kind of family do you think the Morrison Family is?"
Scholar Dwayne paused and said, "Lord Viscounts, I think that the Morrison Family has the qualities that an excellent family should have: loyalty, humility, and pragmatism!"
Colin pondered over the three comments given by Scholar Dwayne, and he seemed to have some ideas in his mind.
Obviously, the three adjectives given by Scholar Dwayne were not chosen randomly.
First, loyalty. This meant that the Morrison Family was deeply involved with the House of Saint Hilde, and there was basically no room for betrayal.
Second, humility. This implied that the Morrison Family was low-key and not well-known in the Northern Frontier.
Finally, pragmatism. This was also the most interesting comment.
Would a pragmatic family insist on marrying the daughter of the House of Saint Hilde generation after generation, knowing that the bloodline purification theory was not feasible?
Especially when such behavior had already caused the Morrison Family to suffer from the "bloodline curse".
Obviously, it was impossible.
Therefore, the Morrison Family was obsessed with the daughter of the House of Saint Hilde, and there must be a deeper reason!
Thinking back to the horrifying scene he saw under the Phoenix-Butterfly Castle's clock tower last night, Colin suddenly had some guesses.
Scholar Dwayne seemed to have seen through some of Colin's thoughts, and advised, "Lord Viscounts, I think you should be more concerned about the Morrison Family now."
"Oh? Which clan do you think it should be? "
"The Oman clan." Scholar Dwayne said decisively.
"Oman …" Colin mulled over the name of his old rival's family. "What do you think?"
"Lord Viscounts, you must have heard the news of Fallen Eagle City's destruction in Phoenix-Butterfly Castle. Clearly, the Oman family has been abandoned by the St. Theon family. No, to be more precise, they have been sacrificed.
Earl Oman will no longer be loyal to the House of St. Theon, and his soldiers will definitely hate the House of St. Theon for destroying their home. So, this is our chance. "
"You want to rope in the Oman family?" Colin frowned.
He did not wish for Earl Oman to be on the same side as him. Wouldn't that mean that he would not be able to avenge his predecessor?
Furthermore, Count Aulman, that old bastard, Colin did not feel at ease leaving his back to him.
Scholar Dwayne did not seem too keen on roping in the Oman family, and said calmly, "I only feel that we can give it a try. However, I suspect that the St. Theon family already has a plan against the Oman family. They will definitely not let their newly established enemy turn around and join the House of Saint Hilde.
So, we should first confirm the situation of Earl Oman and his family's army. If he has not been harmed by the St. Theon family, then we can indeed rope him in and take advantage of the opportunity to disintegrate the power of the St. Theon family. "
Colin nodded and did not say anything, nor did he express his agreement to Scholar Dwayne's suggestion.
Scholar Dwayne seemed to want to say something, but he suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly.
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it a burst of frost.
The bonfire in front of them began to flicker, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.
"Something is wrong!" Colin immediately stood up, threw away the deer leg, and grabbed the sword at his waist.
"It's an arcane fluctuation!" Vera shouted in surprise. "There is a sorcerer casting a spell! Moreover, it is an extremely powerful sorcerer! "
"Alert! Search the surroundings! " Knight Roger immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, he sent out a small group of cavalrymen to try and find the sorcerer who was casting the spell.
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky suddenly became densely covered with dark clouds.
It was as if a rainstorm was about to start.
"He is in the forest in the west!" Vera suddenly pointed and shouted.
"Quick! Stop him! "
In the midst of the rapid sound of horse hooves, a group of cavalrymen rushed in the direction that Vera had pointed out.
However, before they could find the sorcerer who was hiding in the dark and casting the spell, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.
Boom!
What followed was a dull sound of thunder.
After that, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
That's it?
Colin and the others, who were originally waiting for the sorcerer, were suddenly dumbfounded.
Looking at the other party's formation, they thought that it was some kind of terrifying spell, but they never expected that it was just a snowstorm.
Of course, being able to create a heavy snowstorm in the early summer was also considered a skill …
At this time, the cavalrymen who rushed over had already found the sorcerer and immediately escorted him to Colin.
"Teacher Kusius? Why are you here? "Vera suddenly exclaimed in surprise when she saw the person who had come.
No wonder she had felt a very familiar aura just now. It turned out that her teacher was casting the spell.
"Haha, Miss Vera, Viscount Angley, don't be nervous. I am just joking with you."
Kusius had a calm expression on his face even though the cavalrymen were pointing their swords at his back. He even had the mood to joke around.
Colin looked at the high-level sorcerer and his heart was slightly moved, but on the surface, he had a welcoming attitude. He smiled and shook hands with the other party.
"Mr. Kusius, right? I am so lucky to be able to meet you here! Vera has always told me that you have taught her a lot of things in Yevel, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you in person for taking care of her. "
"Viscounts, you are too polite! I hope that my joke did not cause too much trouble for you. "
"Of course not. Would you like to have a meal together?"
"It is my pleasure!"
Kusius did not stand on ceremony with Colin. He walked over to the campfire and directly grabbed a piece of roasted venison from the barbecue grill and put it in his mouth.
"Wow! It tastes good! "
As he ate, he gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Teacher, what are you doing in the Northern Frontier this time?" Vera poured a glass of red wine and handed it over.
Kusius took the glass and drank it in one gulp. After that, he burped in satisfaction and said casually:
"I am here to travel and also to see my friends in the Northern Frontier. Of course, I also want to see you, my good disciple!
You have been away from Yevel for more than a year now, but you have not fallen behind in your studies, right? Do you still remember all your magic knowledge? "
"Of course I remember!" Vera said immediately, but she did not sound very confident.
Kusius saw through her at a glance and immediately began to examine Vera's arcane knowledge.
Colin looked on coldly from the side, and his vigilance did not decrease at all.
The timing of Kusius' appearance was too coincidental!
Moreover, according to Vera, this person was a close friend of Mr. Feng from the St. Theon family.
Even the forbidden spell that Mr. Feng had used to kill the Duke Of St. Hilde by sacrificing the entire Eagle City was suspected to be an improved version of a forbidden spell called "Petrifying Eyes" that Kusius had once collected.
Under such circumstances, Colin did not believe that Kusius really did not know anything about what had happened in Eagle City.
He also did not believe that the other party would suddenly appear here without any ulterior motives.
Of course, Colin would not chase him away. After all, he was still Vera's teacher.
Moreover, a mage who was hiding in the dark was the scariest. A mage like Kusius who was actively exposing himself was not much of a threat.
