Chapter 595 Stone Pillar Town
"It doesn't matter, beautiful lady, my invitation to you is always valid, as long as you want, you can come to Winterhold as a guest at any time."
Vignir smiled at Slude, turned to Logan and said, "Mr. Logan, I hope that my invitation to your daughter will not offend you. It's getting late. I have to go back to Winterhold to meet my father." My lord, let’s say goodbye here, and wish you all the best in your next journey.”
"Thank you for your blessings, Your Highness Vignier, and my family and I extend our deepest regards to Your Excellency Trim."
Logan deliberately did not talk about whether he would mind if the "White Prince" invited his daughter to Winterhold as a guest, and replied with a few polite words in a lukewarm manner.
Vignir tactfully stopped mentioning this matter. A circle of golden magical aura emerged from his body, and he transformed back into the form of a giant dragon. He flapped his wings and soared into the air, and disappeared into the depths of the clouds above the mountains with a violent snowstorm.
Haakon watched the white dragon go away, and said angrily, "Vignir, you are so hypocritical! If brother Joan hadn't found out in advance that Winterhold and the mutated snow monster were together, we would really have fallen for him He was mistaken, he was mistaken for a good-hearted person!"
Logan nodded with deep sympathy, and said thoughtfully: "Through this incident, it can be seen that Trim and his son are extremely cunning! If the snow monster was robbed just now, the 'White Prince' After getting the guns, he must kill all the snow monsters and erase all evidence against Winterhold, but the reality is that the robbery failed, so he pretended to be a good guy and sold us a favor, what a plan!"
Haakon chuckled and turned to tease his sister: "Just now Vignier showed great hospitality to you and said a lot of sweet words, probably because he fell in love with you. What do you think?"
"No idea!" Slude said angrily.
Haakon was still not at ease, and put on an elder brother's posture to enlighten his sister: "Slude, you can't judge a man just by his appearance, but his character is more important. That boy Vignier really has a pretty face. He has a sweet mouth and is very good at pleasing women, but he is a proud and conceited dragon after all, he looks down on us humans from the bottom of his heart, don't be fooled by the compliments of that little boy."
"I'm not that kind of superficial woman, you don't need to teach me!"
Slude gave Haakon a hard look, turned around and walked to the caravan, raised the curtain and got in.
Haakon shrugged and spread his hands at his father, with an aggrieved expression on his face.
"Okay, okay, she doesn't want to hear you nagging, so just say a few words less." Logan patted his son's shoulder with a wry smile, "I'm not talking about you, when you are an older brother, you should be a little bit in front of your younger sister." You have no prestige, you kid is really a failure."
"Can you blame me for this? I can only blame your precious daughter for being spoiled, and her temper is as hot as a bucket of alchemy explosives!" Haakon complained to his father, "'Iron Rose in Stone Pillar Town' is not a joke, which one?" Doesn't the man have a headache when he hears this young lady's name? She is so fierce towards my own brother, if she doesn't get rid of her bad temper, let's see how she will get married in the future!"
Hearing what he said, Logan was also a little worried, and scratched his head helplessly, so he had to put aside this trouble for the time being, and urged the clansmen to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
The "White Prince" Vignier came and went in a hurry, causing everyone in the caravan to be alarmed. Fortunately, the itinerary for the next few days was as uneventful as Vignier had predicted. On the first Sunday in December, the Logan family finally brought the valuable munitions back to Stone Pillar Town safely.
...
If you unfold a map of the east coast of the New World, first go west to find the "Tusk Mountains" that run through the continent, then go south to find the "Hanging Head Forest", and go north to find the Aosta Lake District, commonly known as the "Hometown of Dinosaurs". Go east to find "Wigrid Plains".
Between these four very conspicuous landmarks, there is a large area of undulating hills and valleys, which are the settlements of the northern Asa tribe. The de facto capital of the Tribal Federation.
Shizhu Town has a permanent population of nearly 20,000, and is the largest and most prosperous aboriginal town in the north. In contrast, Powhatan Village, the most famous aboriginal settlement in the south of the New World, has a large population and political influence. From a perspective, they can only be regarded as "brothers".
In the center of Shizhu Town, there is a circle of Stonehenge engraved with ancient runes, which is regarded as a holy place by local residents and druids, and the place name "Shizhu Town" comes from this. The sacred object guarded by the Walsung tribe for generations-the "ancestral tree" known as "Master Gray"-is rooted in the center of Stonehenge.
It has been more than half a month since Joan followed the Logan family to Shizhu Town.
The residents of Shizhu Town are mainly Asa people, and dwarves, elves and gnomes can occasionally be seen on the streets, but very few colonists settled here.
Due to the "Minute land purchase incident" many years ago, the relationship between the Asa people in the north and the Midgard colonists broke down. Since then, many armed conflicts have broken out between the two sides, and violent incidents of all sizes have emerged one after another.
Every drop of blood shed in the conflict will deepen the feud between the aborigines and the colonists. The hatred between the two sides has reached the point where it is almost impossible to resolve. Shizhu Town naturally does not welcome the colonists to settle in.
Joan, as a descendant of colonists from the south, is also unavoidable to be looked down upon and discriminated against in this town where the aborigines dominate.
The Logan family appreciated Joan's great contribution to protecting the caravan, and specially took him to their home as a guest.
Perhaps due to the influence of Haakon and Slude, although Logan's wife, Mrs. Ishta, came from a pure-blooded Volsung nobleman, she was rarely prejudiced against Joan, and regarded this young mage from the south as a Treated by his own children, he has taken care of his diet and daily life in every possible way these days.
During the period of living at the Logan's house, Joann recalled the past when he was cared for by the Candy family during his sojourn in the Algonquin Valley.
He is deeply grateful to the Logan family, but it is a pity that he is withdrawn and withdrawn by nature, and he does not know how to express his gratitude.
After all, Shizhu Town is not Powhatan Village. Except for the Logan family and the Asa hunters who fought side by side, the other aborigines don't have a good look at Joan's typical colonist face.
In order to avoid unpleasant things, and considering that Joan's leg injury has not yet healed, Mrs. Ishta often reminds Joann not to leave her house as much as possible. If you feel bored at home and want to go out for a stroll, call Si Lourdes or Haakon will accompany you on the trip, so don't run around alone.
Qiao An accepted the advice of the hostess, but actually felt that this was exactly what he wanted. He is not like Haakon who likes to call friends and seek friends wherever there is excitement. He would rather stay at home alone, read and study undisturbed, and delve into spells.
