Chapter 279 The War Is About to Begin (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)

"You're welcome. It doesn't matter that it's difficult to buy a better location in Dark Eagle City today. Based on your status, you are eligible to enjoy some preferential treatment. I will let Ruilai choose a house for you that is close to the blacksmith shop for convenience. You will visit your father later.”

Aldous, a man with a rough appearance, paused after hearing this, his thick eyebrows trembling, and he said movedly: "Thank you, Lord!"

"You're all one of us, you're welcome. And you will be the highest-level blacksmith in this blacksmith shop. I hope it can lead to the improvement of other people's skills and enhance the forging capabilities of the blacksmith shop," Leiter said with a smile.

"Wrap it around me, it will live up to everyone's expectations!" Aldous said, stroking his chest.

Then he thought for a while and asked: "Lord, I see that you have not had a mid-level blacksmith here before, so do you need me to forge a batch of mid-level equipment?"

"If necessary, forge ten sets of swords and shields first, and then forge other equipment as needed." Leiter pondered for a moment before replying.

"clear!"

After arranging some details in the blacksmith shop, Leiter began to wander around Dark Eagle City. Since walking on the street always attracted too many eyes and made him feel uncomfortable, after briefly inspecting some family properties, he walked through an oval Crossing the arch bridge and stepping on the floor tiles paved with colored bricks, you arrive at the busiest street in the Chaofan District.

High on the southeast corner of the intersection, there is a twisted sign hanging horizontally, dark purple in color, like a thin snake swishing its tail, with the words Rattlesnake Tavern written on it.

Lei Te glanced at it, easily found the destination, and walked directly in.

In the noisy tavern, filled with alcohol and people, Leiter saw two unexpected figures in the corner - Mycroft and Vaders.

The two seemed to be talking about something, one listening carefully and the other talking nonstop.

The person listening was Vaders, who had taken some time off because his wedding was approaching. Since he was a complete novice when it came to weddings, and Mycroft had just gotten married not long ago, Vaders invited him to a tavern to learn from his experience.

Vaders' expression suddenly changed. He immediately saw his old comrade and waved his hand to say hello:

"Hey, Rhett, this way!"

This name seemed to have infinite magic. Many people were quiet when they heard it, but they quickly returned to normal. Under the furtive glances of many people, Leiter came to sit down at a dark brown round table near the corner and said:

"Hey, you two seem to be in a good mood. It's not yet evening, so you're coming to the pub to drink at this time."

"Haha, that's right, you don't have to use the free coupons here in vain!" Mycroft laughed and said rather shamelessly.

Leiter rolled his eyes at Mycroft, looked at Vaders, and asked, "How are the wedding preparations going? If you need any help, please let me know."

"No need, Daisy and I have already made plans. There is nothing extra needed. You can just come to my wedding when the time comes!" Vides shook his head and said.

"That's right, Leiter, don't you know where you're going when the time comes!" Mycroft said complainingly when he remembered that the other party did not attend his wedding.

"It's all in the past, don't mention it anymore." Lei Te was ashamed, drank half a glass of strong wine, his eyes were a little strange, and he smacked his lips and said, "This wine is a bit interesting, strong but not spicy, and the taste is spicy but overpowering. It’s so rare to have a throat as soft and moist as a clear spring!”

"Haha, this is the new variety I told you last time. I'd say it's pretty good." Mycroft smiled happily.

"Hmm... Not bad, what's the name of this wine?"

"Marquis Leiter, this wine is Desert Rose."

Leiter was asking Mycroft, but a clear female voice, like a swaying wind chime, answered the question from a few meters away.

Ta da, da da

The sound of leather boots hitting the floor sounded. Lilith was wearing red leather pants and a tight-fitting shirt on her upper body. The opening on her chest was about to be broken open by the mountains, but she walked with her slender waist. The visual impact was quite explosive. She smiled coquettishly and said, "How about this wine?"

"It's quite good. It's as warm as a desert in the mouth, and as wonderful as a rose in the throat."

Mycroft's eyes lit up, he touched his chin and said, "Well... the description is very apt, that's what it feels like!"

"Then I will use it as a promotional slogan for this wine, do you mind?" Lilith said at this time.

"Whatever, it's not a very elegant sentence anyway, I just said it casually." Leiter shrugged.

"It's not important. Just the title of your Marquis and the famous novelist is enough." Lilith smiled broadly, then paused and said: "Marquis Leiter, you haven't come to the Rattlesnake Tavern much in the past year. I still I thought I forgot about this place.”

"That's not to say, I have other things to be busy with this year. But having said that, the variety of drinks here is much richer than before, and your bartenders here are really good!" Leiter said with sincere praise. , he really told the truth. When the Rattlesnake Tavern first arrived, it quickly became the leader in the beverage industry in Darkhawk City, surpassing all the pubs. Even the Nightingale Tavern was left behind without any suspense.

"Since you haven't been here for a long time, would you like to serve all our signature drinks?" Lilith asked.

"All of them? Didn't you just say that two types are temporarily out of stock?" Mycroft said with suspicion in his eyes, "You didn't lie just now, did you? This is not the quality that a leading tavern should have."

Lilith smiled and said, "How could I lie to you? The bartender just sent a batch of brewed stock."

Mycroft couldn't see any flaws in the other person's face, and he didn't hesitate. He picked up the wine glass with hesitation, "Okay, I believe you..."

Leiter declined the invitation and stood up: "I don't need it. I have other things to do later. I will leave these drinks to my two friends to enjoy slowly."

"That's such a pity." Lilith said regretfully.

After leaving the Rattlesnake Tavern, Leiter first stood on the side of the street for a while, thinking that in less than half a month, the news of the outbreak of the Cold Wave Defense Line war would spread across the country, and by then it would be time to summon the forces from the southwest border to set off. .

With this thought in mind, Leiter first went to the Alchemy Tower to check the inventory of a batch of alchemical potions. The quantity of both healing potions and detoxification potions was quite sufficient.

Leiter then went to the training ground to inspect again. Every knight was in good condition and had some experience in fighting orcs, so he was completely relieved.

Finally he returned to his room and sat on the bed, feeling clear inside.

At this last moment, he was not nervous anymore, because his preparations had been perfected, the personnel were well trained, and the logistics supplies were sufficient.

At the last moment, he didn't need to do anything else. He just needed to maintain his mood and wait patiently for the news to be delivered.

He breathed out lightly, closed his eyes, and began to silently comprehend the mystery of Qi Ning.

In the process of comprehending the mystery, Leiter ignored the passage of time in the outside world and only took one day to attend Vaders' wedding.

In the blink of an eye, April 19th is here.

When the first ray of light entered the room in the morning, Leiter felt the temperature of the space slowly increasing, and the smell of summer filled his every breath.

He opened his eyes and came to the window, looking at the training ground where teams had gathered and were doing morning exercises.

"drink"

"ha"

"Drink"

…

A faint slogan came, Leiter adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror and left the room.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, Scarlett."

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, Sveta, are you wearing too thick clothes today? Summer will not show mercy to you!" Leiter reminded him as he looked at the butler's plush long sleeves.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir. I'll go back and change it."

Leiter nodded and patted Sveta on the shoulder as he passed by. He looked calm and calm, showing the demeanor of the head of the family.

Ruilai happened to reach the corner of the second floor and saw his father coming down. He greeted him respectfully: "Father, good morning. You came down very early today, but breakfast should not be ready at this time."

Leiter said with a smile: "I'm going to go for a walk in the manor first. Rylai, do you want to come with me?"

"I am glad to."

It was early morning when the two left Dark Rock Castle, and wisps of scorching heat hit their faces. The flowers in the manor were in full bloom, dancing in the hot wind. The gardeners got up earlier and watered the flower beds. The occasional chatter and laughter while watering made the manor appear more energetic.

The father and son took a leisurely walk to the garden behind the castle. Leiter listened to the chirping of birds, admired the flowers on the ground, and asked casually: "Rilai, has Lawrence arrived at Dark Eagle City? Count on his dispatch orders." It’s been two months.”

"Not yet, but it should be soon. It takes almost two months to travel back and forth." Rylai thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Father, you are really very interested in Lawrence. You have never See how caring you are to other knights."

Leiter smiled without saying a word and continued to shuttle among the flowers.

Not long after, a vigorous figure flew into the manor. He was dusty and in a hurry. He first asked the gardener who was watering the water about the Lord's location, and then bypassed the Dark Rock Castle and went straight to the back garden.

This person is Lawrence who came from Young Eagle Town in the east, which is to the east of Dark Eagle City and closer to the capital of the Kingdom than Dark Eagle City. Therefore, he received the message earlier and knew that this was an urgent matter, so I drove fast and non-stop, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Green Manor today.

He took long steps, and when he encountered obstacles such as flowerbed fences or ornamental rocks, he jumped up and jumped over them. He quickly rushed to the back garden along a straight line.

Such a big movement made Lei Te and Ruilai who were traveling together couldn't help but turn their heads, and their expressions became a little surprised.

"Lawrence, this is the manor, so move softly and step slowly!" Leiter said softly.

"And you look very nervous. Relax. Did you encounter any trouble on the way here?" Ruilai asked curiously. At this time, he still didn't realize how important the information the other party carried.

Lei Te also pretended not to know, nodded and said: "Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it, calm down."

Lawrence slowed down as he approached the two of them, swallowed, and did not forget to perform the knight's salute. Then he stroked his chest and said, "Lord, Master Ruilai, good morning. I have important things to report here."

"Please tell me." Leiter's expression turned serious.

"Lord, the war at the Cold Current Defense Line has completely broken out. The Sanctuary on the orc side took action, and our high-level extraordinarys suffered many casualties. The royal family was even more furious because of this, and issued an order to attack the orc camps on the Cold Current Defense Line!"

"What? Lawrence, please tell me clearly, what's going on?" Rylai's tone suddenly rose, but he still remained calm and said: "Where did you get the news?"

"It was the message sent by the people sent by Count Nero. They are closer to the capital and must have obtained the information earlier." Lawrence's face was heavy.

Relai was silent, knowing that this matter was very serious and the possibility of falsehood was extremely small. No one had the courage to do it. However, the battle on the cold front was indeed tense, and it was not surprising that this happened.

He looked at his father and asked, "Father, do you have any instructions?"

Rhett was silent for a moment. Under the inquiring eyes of the two, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Based on my understanding of the royal family, since such news has been spread, it will not be long before the order of national conscription is issued, and the probability is quite high.

Let's... prepare for war and select the candidates for the battlefield immediately."

Then, he looked at Lawrence and said in a serious tone, "Lawrence, are you willing to go to the battlefield with me?"

Lawrence Lance was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious and he said loudly: "I, Lawrence, am willing to be the strongest shield in the hands of the Lord to resist all enemies!"

Rhett patted Lawrence on the shoulder. The other party was a head taller than him. He smiled and said: "Then prepare well. It will probably not be long before we set off. I hope you will have a brilliant performance on the battlefield."

"Yes, Lord!"

"In the next period of time, you don't have to go anywhere. Just stay in the training ground and listen to my arrangements for you." Rhett waved his hand.

"Understood!" Lawrence shouted loudly.

After Lawrence left, Ruilai frowned with a trace of worry, and said, "Father, who are you going to send to the cold current defense line this time? It's not the canyon defense line. There are many more high-level extraordinary people there, and the danger is far from comparable to before..."

"What's so scary about that?"

Rhett smiled faintly, and a wisp of mental power spread out. Now the mental power of the great mage level has undergone another qualitative change. It can be likened to a crystal that changes at will, and the control over the elements has also reached a higher level. This is also the basis for exerting the power of advanced magic.

In Ruilai's feeling, this sense of oppression made him change color instantly. He was shocked at first, and then replaced by a strong joy. He said in disbelief: "Father, have you broken through to the great mage?"
