Incantation? Reynolds had a flash of inspiration. Maybe he couldn't only pay attention to the red bookshelves. Those martial arts on the black bookshelves might also provide him with inspiration.
Just as he was excited about discovering a new domain and crying about the increase in reading volume, an unfamiliar loud and clear roar echoed from outside the stronghold. "Where is everyone? Why is there no one? Quickly open the door! "
A team arrived outside the door. Six knights wore steel armor and rode majestically on large brown horses. The horses also had a full set of armor. From the back to the buttocks, they were wrapped in thick cloth armor with iron plates sewn on it. The holy emblem of a thunder cross was embroidered with fine blue silk thread.
Holy Body of the Church of the Truth Thunder Goddess, Patrolling Knights.
A carriage followed behind the knights. It was pulled by four spotlessly white mares that were as beautiful as milk. It had a steel body, steel wheels, and silver carved angels spreading their wings on top of the carriage. It was exceptionally gorgeous. The coachman was also a knight. He straightened his body and held the reins. Under his helmet, a pair of eyes vigilantly stared ahead. A thick curtain covered the window, cutting off the peeping gazes from outside.
For some reason, beside the white horses following behind the carriage, there was also a fully armed brown horse without a knight. It could be seen that this horse's spirit was low and its eyes were hazy with tears.
The gate slowly rose. The team stepped on the dense sound of horse hooves and entered. The iron wheels struck the stone floor with an ear-piercing sound. At this time, old man Pu Lin was pondering why the patrolling team had arrived at the castle more than half a month in advance. Reynolds, on the other hand, despised the incomplete industry without rubber in his heart and felt regret for the hearing of the passengers in the carriage.
The leading knight easily jumped down from the horse's back. After taking off his helmet, there was a delicate and handsome face under his golden hair. Reynolds reckoned that his age should be about the same as his, which was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. However, it was very obvious that he was much more handsome than him.
Oh, he should be more handsome than "Reynolds". This was more accurate.
"Patrolling Knight Grey, welcome, welcome. We didn't receive any information that you were coming. This is truly a pleasant surprise! "Old man Pu Lin leaned on his cane and walked forward.
"Kara, quasi-patrolling chief, please call me that." The young man and the old man shook hands, but their tone didn't seem to be enthusiastic. "You definitely won't receive any information about the patrolling inspection this time because I didn't announce it at all."
"Oh …" Old man Pu Lin withdrew his hand. "Then this time, will it be the same as the past, where I let three young people pack up?"
"Three? Didn't you have a newcomer here? Where is it? Let me see. "
What do you mean by letting you take a look? Don't you know how to move your eyeballs? There were only six people in Ice Peak Fortress. How could they not be able to keep watch? Was he really blind or was he pretending to be blind? Reynolds hated this kind of person the most, so he used his finger to block one of his nostrils and snorted towards the ground.
"Reynolds Hall, looks like it's you." Quasi Inspector Cara bypassed old man Pu Lin and went straight to Reynolds. The knights behind him dismounted at the same time, holding their swords and glaring at him, as if they were cheering for him. "When I heard that you came to Ice Peak Fortress, I knew that the will of the Goddess is great. Rewards and punishments are fair and reasonable."
"I already knew this before coming to the Ice-sealed Fortress."
Ramstein chuckled and was secretly pinched by Wu Mama.
"If you know that, you should stay away from the card department." Dorum stretched out his hand, his steel fingers swaying on both sides of Reynolds's cheeks as if he was going to pinch him. "What a good person she is!"
Who was the card department? Reynolds rolled his eyes. There were a lot of gaps in the memory he received, especially the romantic affairs of the prodigal son. He guessed that the old owner of this body didn't want the new resident to know …
"Yes, she's a good person." Reynolds answered perfunctorily while taking half a step back. Although he could be resurrected after death, and the people present probably wouldn't let him be strangled to death, it was uncomfortable to see those hands swaying in front of his eyes.
Dorum's eyes suddenly burst into flames of anger. Could it be that Reynolds said that the card department was "very good" and angered him?
Just as anger appeared in his eyes, the holy emblem hanging on the chain in front of Dorum's chest vibrated. He quickly calmed down, and there was even a trace of a smile on his face. Reynolds was a little unsure whether it was better to vent his anger or to change his face like a lunatic.
"Pu Lin just said that there were only three people to pack up. Is that including you? Collingwood is a good village, but it's still too small and poor for the son of the earl. "
"I also agree with your idea. I prefer Ice Peak Fortress, so I won't leave this winter."
"Oh, that shows that you've been training very hard! You're worthy of being a good child that Earl Hall is proud of. " Dorum suddenly changed the topic and became serious and severe. "It seems that the people here pay too much attention to your training and have neglected to patrol the surroundings! I was attacked by a griffin on my way here! Two knights were sacrificed, and their corpses fell off the cliff and couldn't be recovered. This is an extremely serious dereliction of duty! "
"Lord Chief Inspector, we're very sorry to hear this news, but what's the matter with the griffin? If there are monsters, according to our duties, we'll hunt them, but we've never raised or owned monsters. " Old man Pu Lin knocked his cane on the ground, and his tone also became serious. "Under the gaze of the goddess, only the truth can stand firm!"
"You want reason? That's fine. " Dorum said, "The griffin that attacked had a large skeleton, but its body was thin, and its eyes were blood-red. It was obvious that it was still in some kind of anger and sorrow. Its attack wasn't for food, but purely to vent its anger. It's obvious that either its spouse or its children are dead. Tell me, have you killed any griffins recently? "
Old man Pu Lin slowly exhaled. The teachings of the Truth Thunder Goddess made him unable to lie. "Yes, two months ago, we really did kill a griffin."
"That was a cliff griffin, and it's very vengeful. After you killed one, why didn't you look for its nest and uproot its relatives? "
"Because … when we killed the griffin, its entire body was burned by the flames, and we couldn't distinguish its species."
"Now I'll tell you that it's a cliff griffin, and its threat is increasing. The Ice Peak Stronghold wanted to kill this Lion Vulture and get its head before winter. Oh, just let those of you who want to leave the fortress and go down the mountain to avoid the snow carry it. "
"But the cliff griffin can't spend the winter here. It'll either leave before it snows, or it'll freeze to death on the mountain. There's simply no need to take the risk to eliminate it at this time."
"Do you want me to tell this to the widows of Guntepi and Knight Rus? Or their parents and children? " Dorum snorted. "Eliminating this griffin is an order, and it's your duty to carry out this order. Don't worry, the reward won't be small, and I'll give you a mission certificate. I can let you set out immediately.
