Chapter 401： bards from all over

  Chapter 401 Bards from Everywhere

  The northern plains have not been hot this year. At the hottest time of the year, this year it is only about 24 degrees, accompanied by a cool breeze and occasional drizzle.

  It can be said that people living on the northern plains don’t know what hot summer is!

  However, the atmosphere in Winter City is extremely warm. As the succession ceremony approaches, various preparations continue to advance. It is no secret that the lord of Winter City, David, Duke of Glamorgan, is about to inherit the throne.

  Residents of Cold Winter City know that their lord is about to become a king. For ordinary people, this doesn't seem to have much to do with them, but as the day approaches, there is an unusually warm atmosphere in Cold Winter City.

   It seems that a celebration that can make the whole people carnival is gradually taking shape.

  In this atmosphere, even the people around David were affected.

   "Just a ceremony."

   "This is a grand ceremony for inheriting the throne."

  Elias is the ceremonial officer of the Duke of David-Glamorgan, and he is responsible for the entire succession ceremony.

   From the venue, candidates, process, etc., everything must be controlled by the etiquette officer Elias Parker.

  As a ceremonial officer, being able to take full charge of a succession ceremony to the throne in his lifetime can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his career.

   For this ceremony, no one takes it more seriously than Elias.

  So, for Elias Parker, the biggest problem is not the various details of the ceremony, but how to get Lord David, the Duke of Glamorgan, to cheer up and pay attention to this ceremony.

  Because the Duke doesn't seem to care much about this matter.

   "This is related to the official establishment of the Winter Kingdom. This moment may become an epic legend that has been sung for thousands of years. You don't want to be the protagonist of the joke to be passed down to future generations, right?"

   "Something makes sense."

  Recently, many people have come to Cold Winter City. In addition to the civilians and nobles of the Kingdom of Tilan who escaped from the war, as well as the envoys of some lords, there are also many "adventurers", among which bards are the most common.

   Bards like to travel and take risks everywhere, weave what they see and hear into stories and poems, and then spread them around.

   This is their way of life, source of income and source of strength.

  In the past, there were no bards on the northern plains. Even if the Kingdom of Tilan moved the capital to Winter City, the bards were not interested in the remote Winter City.

  It wasn't until David released the news that he would inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Tilan, and even renamed the Kingdom of Tilan as the Kingdom of Winter, which aroused the curiosity of this group.

The change of dynasties and the change of flags finally aroused the curiosity of the bards. They set off for the northern plains one after another. poets.

   Even, there are those from more distant places.

"So, the Duke of Glamorgan initially established the village with the support of Laura Crawford; with the help of Helen, he established a powerful army such as the Spartan Heavy Infantry; With the help of the establishment of the Holy Light Cathedral; now with the relationship of Princess Sophia, I will become the king."

  Edkin told Shirley and Sansa who he met not long ago the information he had sorted out during this time.

   "It seems that the Duke of Glamorgan relied on a woman to achieve his current status." Edkin looked envious and jealous: "It seems that he is a very attractive guy."

   "..."

  Shirley was speechless, while Sansa was stunned. Both of them couldn't figure out how the bard who was said to be from a distant place in front of him came to such a conclusion.

"Any questions?"

   "Eh... it sounds like there's nothing wrong with it?"

  Edkin nodded, wrote something in his notebook again, put away the notebook and pen, and sighed twice by the way: "I have to say, the things in Winter City are really convenient to use."

In addition, the environment and convenient daily facilities of Winter City also left a deep impression on him. After living here for a period of time, he felt that after returning to Faerun Continent, he would feel uncomfortable. Condition.

   "Ahem, in short, I have already understood the general situation, and I should be able to write a very attractive and good story." Edkin thanked the two, and then left happily.

  Looking at Edkin who had already left, Sansa glanced at Shirley next to her again: "I think he's a bit weird."

   "Yes." Shirley nodded, she knew that the bard named Edkin was planning something secretly, but she didn't tell Sansa about these things.

  Anyway, I have already reported Edkin's matter, no matter what this man who claims to be a bard is going to do, it is a matter for the intelligence department to deal with.

  Compared, Shirley is more curious about Sansa's recent situation. It is said that she followed her father to King's Landing City...

  Edkin, who was separated from his new friend who hadn’t met for a long time, walked on the streets of Winter City with a happy face, as unobtrusive as countless ordinary people around him, and stopped from time to time to enter a certain shop for a while.

   After wandering around for a while, Edkin activated the magical shuttle ability and returned to his own world.

  The bard Edkin from Faerun is a former harp player. Since his wife was killed, he has given up his vows, and together with several companions, he made money by stealing and other means.

  Not long ago, after Edkin accidentally came to Winter City, he was immediately attracted by this majestic, magnificent, clean and beautiful city.

  He thought that there must be a huge amount of wealth in this beautiful city.

   What's more perfect is that he is not from this world, so as long as he runs back to Faerun after he succeeds, he doesn't even have to worry about anyone making trouble for him.

   After telling his companions about his 'discovery', Edkin began to make various preparations for the plan.

   Including finding suitable targets, investigating various information about Winter City, etc.

   During this period of time, he has understood the environment of Winter City clearly enough, but he has never really investigated the most conspicuous Fort Glamorgan.

   It's too dangerous, and he doesn't want to arouse the vigilance of Winter City.

   After all, he just wanted to find a rich target and search for some money. There are enough suitable targets in Winter City, and those noble families have enough rich assets. Stealing these people is much safer than provoking a city lord.

What makes Edkin very happy is that because the lord of Winter City, the Duke of Glamorgan, is about to succeed to the throne, this has caused "outsiders" to come to Cold Winter City during this period, so he feels that he and his companions can easily Well hidden in it, undetected.

After Edkin worked hard for a period of time, things developed steadily according to the plan, including his contact with "Sansa who also came to Winter City from other worlds", and through Sansa, he obtained the ability to quickly learn the common language of Brennia Props to make your own investigation work more smoothly and so on.

   Edkin, who had returned to Faerun Continent, met with his companions, and while sharing the information he had collected with his companions, he was formulating, or in other words, revising and perfecting his own plan.

"A young duke with several lovers, including a princess." Foch-Fitzwilliam looked at the various intelligence information compiled by Edkin, and felt that Edkin targeted ordinary nobles. How satisfied: "Why don't we directly target this duke?"

"It's too dangerous." Edkin continued to write and draw. He not only investigated a lot of intelligence information, but even drew a rough map of Winter City: "The power of Winter City is beyond imagination. This duke is more dangerous than provoking a giant dragon."

"Uh..." Simon, the warlock who heard Edkin's description, raised his hand and said: "If it is so dangerous, why do we go to Winter City? Even if the other nobles in the city are not as terrible as the Duke, but They can also mobilize the soldiers of Winter City, right?"

"No, the situation is different." Edkin simply explained to his partner: Although the army of Winter City is powerful and has many magical weapons and equipment, ordinary nobles cannot mobilize these soldiers, and their residences do not have these Soldiers served as guards.

  In addition, Winter City also has many magical races, these races have powerful strength, and they only obey the Duke of Glamorgan.

   "A magical race?"

"Yes, a Cybertronian who is five to eight meters tall, whose whole body is made of metal, and can be transformed into a vehicle or an airplane." Edkin briefly described: "Possess great strength and physique, and can Flying Kryptonians."

  He has seen Cybertronians transforming and Kryptonians flying overhead, plus some descriptions from Sansa, which made him list these two races as a huge threat.

   Fortunately, as long as you don't provoke the Duke, neither the Cybertronians nor the Kryptonians will come to trouble you.

  However, after hearing Edkin's description, Simon firmly believed that this was a very bad plan. Even the savage Holga, who was usually fearless, felt that Edkin's choice this time was not very wise.

   "Perhaps we should abandon this operation."

"No, how can we give up?" Edkin hadn't spoken yet, and Fauci was the first to object: "Don't you want to keep doing petty things like this? As long as we can get enough wealth from Winter City, we can definitely From then on, bid farewell to the identity of a thief and live a stable life."

Edkin, who was a little hesitant at first, glanced at his daughter Kira after hearing Foch's words, and resolutely wavered in his thoughts: "This is the last time, as long as we can succeed, we can bid farewell to this wandering thief." Lived."
