Chapter 41: Crystal
The hotel guy who nodded and bowed to Colin and the others yesterday, now stood beside the soldiers and said fiercely: "The adults are all in it, they are all raw faces and ride strong horses. I didn't notice it yesterday. When I came to feed the horses this morning, I found that those horses were all marked by Baron Sethus."
The soldier leader, Ochos, a formal knight under Kratos, looked directly at the horses in the stables. Without looking closely, you could recognize that they were the enemy's war horses and light military horses from the north. However, there was some doubt in my heart, are these Yankees fools? They actually entered the Long River City openly.
But Ochos didn't think too much about it and just arrested him first, so he directly ordered his subordinates: "Go up and arrest them for me."
The strong soldiers rushed to the hotel and surrounded Colin and the others, but at this time Colin was enjoying his own breakfast. The boiled beef bought for five silver coins, and the salt sprinkled by the owner himself was simple but had a unique flavor.
Looking at the soldiers surrounding him, Colin was not affected much and continued to eat breakfast. He said to Delia, who was guarding Colin, said: "We have not yet gone to find Kratos, but he actually came to greet us first, which saved us some trouble."
The soldiers were a little confused by Colin's behavior. The people they usually arrested did not run away or resist, but everyone was unable to take care of it for a while.
"What's wrong? Why don't you guys stop moving? Are you running away again?" Ochos pushed the soldiers away, walked up to Colin and said, "Aren't you all there? Are you Sethus' spies? It's better to surrender the Knight Master, otherwise you won't be missing for the rest of the time."
Seeing that there was a knight who should be able to speak, Colin put down his fork and said to him: "I am the Lord of the Black Crow Tower who came to visit Lord Kratos, and also dealt with a group of enemies who looted the village as a meeting ceremony."
Ochos sneered: "Why haven't I heard of the Black Crow Tower? And you two can stop the enemy from looting the village? Let's go to the dungeon and talk to the torture officer."
Ochos said as he drew out his two-handed sword. "Bang," the two-handed sword was instantly knocked away by Delia and inserted into the wall not far away. At the same time, the spears wielded by the soldiers were also cut off by the sword drawn by Colin.
Looking at the long sword that disappeared in his hand, he could not see the opponent's attack direction clearly. Ochos was a little scared and sat on the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
"Now I believe my purpose, it's easy to kill you." Colin said to him while wiping the long sword of the Lord of the Scarlet Sun in his hand.
"Not your Earl of Kratos, Colin, the Lord of the Black Crow Tower, came to visit."
Knight Ochos led his soldiers to leave Colin in a hurry. When he walked to the hotel door, the guy who had been hiding outside to observe the situation, said to Ochos with an excited expression: "Master, don't you know my bounty?"
"Ba, bha." Ochos whipped the guy hard and directly blew his skin and flesh, "This is your bounty! Bah, it's so unlucky." Ochos vented the humiliation from Colin on the guy, but he still notified his lord, Earl Kratos, as soon as possible.
"You said it was the lord of the Black Crow Tower?" Kratos remembered the mysterious wizard tower near his territory when he heard his father say when he was a child. However, he always thought it was a compiled story. After all, how could those high-ranking wizards be in this remote place of their own?
Kratos directly asked his butler to invite Colin to his castle and arranged a dinner to entertain the man who might be a wizard.
It was said that it was a dinner party, but there was no complicated aristocratic communication. After all, it was still a period of war. In addition to Colin and the Earl of Kratos, there were some knights who responded to the call, including Ochos who was taught by Colin in the morning.
Colin discovered that the two knights were obviously different. They had a special force in their bodies, a bit like the awakened people of the Colin world. One of them was Earl Kratos, who was sitting in the chief. He had a strong body and a neatly repaired man, which did not make people feel sloppy at all.
"Hahaha, I have heard of the reputation of Black Crow Tower since I was a child. Today I am so happy to see my true face for the first time." Kratos showed that he was very intimate with Colin from the beginning, and he didn't feel like he had met for the first time. It seemed that the two were friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"I've been too proud. I've come here this time to ask for the Count." Colin didn't want to play any aristocratic game with these nobles, and directly expressed his purpose this time.
"Oh? I don't know where I can help the great wizard." Kratos tried cautiously to test whether Colin was a wizard, and all this was seen by Colin.
"Because after my teacher passed away, I wanted to go further to study at the Wizards Academy, so I wanted to learn about the location of the academy from the Earl." Colin nodded and nodded to the Earl, and showed a flame in his hand to indicate his identity.
"Dear Wizard, I don't know much about the specific location of the Wizard Academy, or there are not many people here, but I think I can still give you some help." Kratos felt a little overjoyed when he confirmed Colin's identity as a wizard.
Wizard! It is a real wizard. His war is saved. The damn, lowly Sethus found a wizard from somewhere, and he was beaten on the battlefield and retreated step by step.
"Every years, wizards from those academies will come to recruit qualified people. I calculated that this year should be here. However, the war wizards here have been troublesome for a long time and have not been here. However, I can write to my uncle in the south and ask him to invite the wizard to come when the wizard arrives there first, but..." Kratos wanted to stop speaking.
"But what, are you thinking of threatening me because of this?" Although Colin said unfriendly, he asked Count Kratos with a smile.
"How could that be? I was thinking that if this war could end early, the chances of the wizard coming would be higher, right?" Some cold sweat appeared on Kratos' forehead, and he looked a little afraid of Colin.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask Lord Earl to write a letter, war, etc. I'm also very interested in bringing some peace to people. After all, I'm also a lord and understand the people's expectations for peace." Colin, the weapons dealer, was talking nonsense here.
"Since this is all up to the wizard, and to be honest, my son is still old and is worried that he will not be able to participate in the wizard qualification test. I have always wanted to train him to become a wizard. I don't know if you can teach my son." As he said that, Count Kratos clapped his hands. His housekeeper held a small box, and after opening it, it was filled with gold coins. It seemed that there were about 200 pieces and two black crystals.
Colin saw this crystal for the first time, but he could feel the pure magic contained in it.
