Chapter 270

Gray was relieved to learn that Merida was going to leave. He was really afraid that she would stay here and force him to get married.

Men are always softer to women who have had in-depth communication with themselves. If Merida insists that he marry her, gray won't agree, but she can't deal with her like dealing with those enemies, so it's best for her to choose to leave.

However, in a few days, it was the Marquis's birthday. Gray decided to invite all the nobles to congratulate her and hoped that Merida would stay a few more days.

A few days later, the Royal Palace held a grand banquet. At the same time, it was also a grand social meeting. Most of the nobles of the Kingdom gathered here, which was also a great opportunity for noble ladies and young men to choose objects.

There's nothing wrong with that. The banquet is originally used to celebrate and socialize.

The banquet process was also very smooth. After refusing a large number of noble ladies' invitations, gray felt a little tired. Fortunately, Merida came to rescue the siege and they danced with everyone in the hall.

Suddenly, Gray's face changed slightly and looked out suspiciously.

Now it was night and it was dark outside, but he clearly remembered that it was a fine day. The moon hung high outside, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth. The night was like the day.

But now it was dark outside, there seemed to be a strong wind, and gray noticed an unusual smell.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning exploded in the distant sky. The pale light made the world white for a moment, and then quickly fell into darkness.

But just like this, the candlelight in the hall began to flicker, the whole hall became dark, and an uninvited guest appeared at the door.

In the flickering candlelight, the uninvited guest looked ferocious and terrible. She fell on the ground and shrunk into a ball, as if paying tribute to the people in the hall, as if she was just exhausted and had to fall to the ground, more like a beast pretending to be weak and setting a trap for her prey, ready to take its life at any time.

The people in the hall retreated one after another. They were all frightened by the strange man.

However, several people quickly blocked in front, although they had no weapons in their hands.

Gray let go of Merida and strode to the front. "Madam, why did you break into my castle?"

Women? Everyone was stunned when they heard Gray's voice. The other party was so tightly wrapped that his face and body were not exposed. How did you judge that the other party was a lady?

Gray said it was a gift. Unless the other party had surgery, he would never admit his mistake.

If the other party has had surgery, gray plans to throw her into the sea to feed the fish later. His kingdom doesn't need such people.

"Dear Lord, it's windy and rainy outside. I hope you can take in my poor old woman and provide some hot soup and food. In return, I'd like to give you this rose." The old woman raised her head, showed her wrinkled face, took out a beautiful rose and handed it to gray.

Fortunately, it's not a promise.

Gray looked at the rose in the old woman's hand. He didn't reach out to pick it up or speak, but looked at her in surprise.

"Why, are you going to refuse a poor old woman's request?" The old woman said hoarsely.

"That's not true. I just have a few questions to ask you before I agree to your request. I think you should understand my vigilance against a sudden stranger." Gray said faintly.

The old woman continued in a hoarse voice, "what kind of threat can an old woman like me bring to you? You are a great dragon slayer."

"You're right. I'm the greatest Dragon Slayer." Gray said with his hands on his hips, laughing like a flower.

However, before the old woman smiled, gray suddenly looked cold and said heavily, "but can you explain how you came to the palace through the cordon of my palace guard?"

As soon as gray said, everyone immediately reacted.

Yes, this is the Royal Palace, and because of today's banquet, the guards around the Royal Palace have increased significantly. How can such obvious and suspicious people come to the gate?

To understand this, they retreated without trace again. No matter what they came, in short, there are your majesty and the Dragon slaying warriors we trust in front. Everyone will be fine hiding behind.

"My old eyes are dim. I can't see the road clearly. Seeing the brightest here, I came here in a muddle." The old woman returned.

Obviously, this is an unconvincing answer. It doesn't explain why the soldiers didn't find her. You are old-fashioned, but the soldiers are not blind. They can't see you walking in and don't stop you.

However, gray seemed to believe it and immediately asked the second question, "you just called me a noble Lord, not your majesty, which means you are not my national. Can you tell me where you come from?"

Gray smiled. "As far as I know, it takes a few days for the nearest island around Shibao country to come here. How did an old woman come here?"

"Lord, since you can look overseas, why don't you look at the forest?" The old woman asked.

"Do you mean that there is a kingdom deep in the forest from which you come?"

"Dragons don't build their own castles." The old woman said without end.

However, since he mentioned the dragon and the castle, gray naturally thought of the dragon he had killed before and the castle he lived in.

Building a castle is a huge project. It's good to have a powerful dragon, but it's impossible to build a castle by the Dragon itself.

"So, did you leave this castle before?"

"Yes, we went to the depths of the forest because of the dragon. If I guessed correctly, the dragon you killed should be its offspring." The old woman looked straight at gray, and he could seem to see a trace of irony.

It's like saying: what you killed is just a dragon that hasn't grown up yet. Thanks to your hype, it's killing people.

Maybe that's what it means.

"Well, here's the last question." Gray nodded and didn't care about her eyes. Although he was Jackie Chan and young dragon, he was right to be a dragon slayer now.

"There are at least hundreds of houses passing by from the gate to the palace. Why don't you ask them for help and break into the palace? Don't you know that this may make you an assassin and lose your life before you enter the palace?

Oh, no, my soldiers are blind. They can't see you. Just answer why you don't go to another house to stay. "

"I can't see clearly. I just follow the brightest light source." The old woman said vaguely.

"Are you a moth? You have such a strong phototaxis that you have to find the brightest light. Why don't you fly to the sun during the day?" Gray said impolitely that he had almost played. It's time to see it.

"Moth?" The old woman repeated suspiciously.

"It's that kind of insect. Its wings are full of disgusting ash, and its stomach is disgusting and fat, just like you." Gray explained carefully.

"You... The old woman raised her head sharply and glared at gray." how dare you be so rude? "
