Chapter 358 The Duke Of Bristol (1)
The spy galloped all the way, heading for remote places. After making seventeen or eight detours, he finally stopped on a forest grassland, where a hungry tiger half-lying with his chest pressed against his back Griffin.
"Hal, long wait."
The spy turned over and dismounted and greeted the griffin. Then he suddenly pulled out a sharp sword from his waist and cut off the horse's head with one strike. The horse slumped to the ground before it could even make a sound.
He untied the chains that bound the griffin, and the griffin neighed like a starving ghost reincarnated, and pounced on the horse's corpse to feast on it.
"Eat, eat..." The spy stroked the griffin's fur.
"We will take action immediately after we have eaten. The Grand Duke is still waiting for news from us."
The gryphon responded while eating.
It has been staying in this small and broken forest for three days, with its feet bound by iron chains. It has not eaten anything for three days. If the owner does not come back, it will starve to death here.
The spy's name is Marquez, who belongs to the Gray Shadow Legion under the Archduke of Bristol and is specifically responsible for helping the Archduke collect intelligence.
This is all his plan.
First, he sneaked into the team of imperial spies and inquired about the information about the Winter King. Then he went out of the city and mounted his horse, and then found his own gryphon. The gryphon would eat the entire war horse, leaving no trace except the blood. So perfect and discreet.
Soon the hungry griffon had finished showing off the entire war horse. It felt like it had eaten such delicious food for the first time, and it even licked the blood stains on the turf.
Marquez turned over and rode on his gryphon. This easy-to-tame flying monster has a very strong digestive capacity. In a very short period of time, the meat it eats has been converted into the energy needed by the body, although it still looks very haggard. , but it no longer affects its flight speed.
The gryphon carried Marquez and flew at full speed through the night. At dawn, it entered the largest duchy of the Mayton Empire, the Brewen Territory, which was also the territory of the Archduke of Bristol.
When the sun rose, the griffin finally landed on the lawn of the Archduke's Castle in Bristol. At this time, the maids had already gotten up. They shuttled through the castle garden, holding sweeping tools in their hands, and threw their hands at Marquez. To get rid of the fearful and curious glances.
The two groups of knights had been following Marquez since he entered the castle, and they were belatedly arriving until this time.
"Good morning, Mr. Marquez."
The knight captain saluted Marquez and took the gryphon reins from him, always looking at him with respect.
For the knights of Fort Bewwin.
Marquez is simply a legendary figure. Although he is only an earth knight, he is very good at sneaking.
He never failed in the tasks given to him by the bus.
The Grand Duke even promised to marry his young daughter, who was about to come of age.
This is what makes the knights in the castle the most envious.
"Hello." Marquez nodded, "How is Sunny doing lately?"
"Oh~ It is said that she just attended the banquet of the core nobles of Bouvenland yesterday. At that time, many nobles invited her to dance, but she refused." The knight commander replied with a smile.
Marquez also had a happy smile on his face.
Shani is the youngest daughter of the Archduke of Bristol.
She could almost be considered her fiancée.
This girl, who was called the most beautiful girl in the Bouvenir Territory, fell in love with him. Even though they were more than ten years apart, the earth knight's lifespan was longer than that of ordinary people. The feeling of just cultivating a lover is unparalleled.
"What are you doing, sir?" Marquez asked as he walked.
"My lord is watering the flowers on the lawn in front of the castle... You also know that my lord likes tinkering with these things. Even if we often dissuade him, he still feels that the flowers he cultivates with care are the most beautiful." The knight commander was half behind. Standing behind Marquez, he spread his hands and sounded helpless.
"Just like Sunny, isn't it?" Marquez joked: "Sunny is the flower cultivated by Lord Bristol, and she is so beautiful."
"I think you are right, sir." The knight commander nodded in agreement, but then complained: "But you shouldn't say this to bachelors like us. You should go to Master Brian. After all, he There are so many women that I can’t recognize their names~”
Brian is the eldest son of the Duke of Bristol. He has reached the threshold of the Knights of the Earth before he was thirty years old. He has a slender figure, elegant manners, and handsome appearance. His favorite thing to do is pick up girls.
Marquez didn't like this philandering young man very much, and he didn't want to discuss him with the knight commander, so he kept his mouth shut at this point.
Seeing that Marquez didn't want to talk, the knight commander gradually lost interest in continuing the conversation.
He led Marquez through the castle gardens and into the castle foyer.
Through the open arched door, the Duke's figure can already be seen on the great lawn.
The morning light of the morning sun gilded the old man who was bending over watering the flowers with a layer of gold. This old man with eyes as blue as the sea was like an old gentleman walking out of a painting. His hair was already gray, but it was neatly combed and shiny. His beard was also neatly trimmed and he was wearing a white shirt and a bearskin vest. The whole person exuded an elegant temperament.
His reaction was very sharp. As soon as Marquez's footsteps stepped on the arched door of the castle, the old man looked over and at the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up in an arc of joy.
"Hey! Look who's back. Isn't this our big star from Fort Bewin, Mr. Marquez?"
"My lord, you are joking, you are the future star of Fort Bowen." Marquez knelt on one knee in front of the Duke of Bristol. He took off his helmet and revealed his short flaxen hair, respectfully He made a knightly salute to the Duke of Bristol.
"That's not what I said." The Earl of Bristol helped his son-in-law up, his eyes full of admiration, and he joked:
"This is what Shanni said. She said that her fiancé is the strongest man in Fort Bowen, the star of tomorrow in Fort Bowen, a genius who is less than forty years old and a half-step Sky Knight, Marquez, and of course me. A fierce general under his command~"
When talking about Sanny, Marquez couldn't help but smile, but now he still had important intelligence reports and the military situation was on fire, so he had no time to waste anymore, so he said to the Duke of Bristol:
"Sir, I mainly brought back two pieces of news this time. The first piece of news is that Howard, the second prince of the royal city, proposed marriage to King Winter, and King Winter agreed. Now Princess Jessica of Mayton has become King Winter's wife. Woman; the second piece of news is that King Winter’s strength has not exceeded the legend. He is still just a champion knight. At this moment, he is alone in King Mayton City. He has not brought any troops. He is suspected of having a giant dragon mount under his command."
