Chapter 270： messenger

, The fastest update to the latest chapters of the original kinship!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the majestic lion roar is even more desolate.

On an open-air balcony of the main castle, Colin was standing side by side with Vera, enjoying the beautiful view of the setting sun.

Today, Vera is wearing a palace-style tube top and waist dress, revealing round shoulders and slender neck. Her long golden hair is casually clasped, and her white, tender and clean skin makes people unable to resist the urge to kiss.

The afterglow of the setting sun outlined her perfect profile, which made Colin look a little surprised.

"What are you looking at?" Vera turned her head and smiled at her husband.

"I'm looking at the future Lord Duke of the North!" Colin joked with a smile.

Vera rolled her lovely eyes, with a little worry in her tone: "There is still an unrest in the Northern Territory! What's more, I don't know if the Emperor and the Senate will agree to my inheritance as the Duke."

When Colin was about to relieve his wife, he heard footsteps ringing behind him.

Immediately, Basti, the new steward of the St. Hild family, came to the balcony and bowed to report:

"Miss, Viscount Angley, the dwarf messenger has been brought here."

Vera slowly turned around and nodded and said, "Okay. Please come over."

Colin also turned around, just in time to see a familiar dwarf coming in.

"Dear Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia, Anka, son of Marquis Maynum, I would like to extend my sincerest greetings to you!"

When Colin heard the other party's name and self-introduction, he remembered that he had met the Count Anka in Ice Rock City.

He had just returned from the troll empire and met the dwarf count at the triumphal banquet. The other party also proposed to replace the Anglia family territory with a part of the Scarlet Collar by the Maynum family.

"Earl Anka, please sit down." Vera replied, and then invited the other person to sit at the small round table on the balcony side.

The maid brought coffee and dessert in good time.

Colin also sat down at the table, took a sip of coffee, and asked with a smile: "Earl Anka, are you coming this time, is it because of territorial replacement?"

Count Anka suffocated slightly, and then shook his head slightly embarrassingly: "No. Moreover, the replacement of the territory is about you and me. If you don't want it, of course our Maynum family will not force it."

Colin raised his brows and was a little surprised at Count Anka's weak attitude.

When he was in Ice Rock City, the dwarf earl was quite arrogant, saying for a while that he would never let the Anglia family suffer, and for a while, saying that the Maynum family's army was about to arrive in the north, he almost forcibly pressed Colin's hand. Ask him to sign and agree.

There must be a reason for the change in Earl Anka's attitude. Could it be that the dwarves feel that they cannot take down Winter City. Are they preparing for peace talks?

"Then why are you here in Winter City this time?"

Count Anka glanced at Vera and saw that she had been silently drinking coffee and sipping desserts, seemingly not interested in the conversation.

This attitude made Count Anka immediately understand that Viscount Anglia was the real master of Winter City.

"Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia, I am here this time to reach a peace agreement with you and to put an end to this doodle of the North."

"Peace agreement?" Colin raised his brows and took a serious look at Count Anka.

The dwarf really wanted to make peace.

Colin began to figure it out.

In fact, at this time Colin was vacillating between war and peace.

The plan given by Bachelor Dawn at the time was indeed an old-fashioned and serious plan, but after the running river severely weakened the Dawson family, the Uman family's army was harvested in Winter City. Under the circumstances, Colin has already Have the confidence to fight against the army of dwarves.

Therefore, he wrote to Ice Rock City to let the main force of the Black Cavalry and the Silver Moon Guard come here.

But unexpectedly, just when he gradually tended to fight the dwarf to the death, the dwarf suddenly persuaded him.

This gave Colin a sense of aggrieved punch in the air.

"Tell me about your conditions." Colin decided to look at the situation first.

Count Anka lifted his spirits and immediately said: "Your Excellency, the Maynum family has no intention of being an enemy of the St. Hild family, and is very willing to see a peaceful and stable northern border!

Therefore, as long as you can agree to our request for an independent nation, the army of dwarves outside the city will be withdrawn immediately!

The Saint-Hilde family will also receive the eternal friendship and gratitude of the dwarf clan! "

Colin rubbed his chin. Of course he wouldn't be surprised by this condition. This group of dwarves have been arguing with Mr. Coquettish for so long, isn't it just for this goal?

However, why did they take the initiative to abandon the St. Theon family and start to seek cooperation with the St. Hild family?

Colin immediately realized that something must have happened to the opponent's camp.

Otherwise, the dwarf wouldn't have just besieged the city, and hadn't even tentatively attacked, so he planned to negotiate a peace.

"You want to establish an independent nation in the north?"

"Yes."

"What about the territory?"

Count Anka had been prepared for a long time, and upon hearing this, he immediately took out a map from his arms, flattened it on the table, and introduced:

"Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia, please see, this is our planned area of ​​the Dwarf Kingdom.

It includes the current domain of the Dawson family, as well as the domains of the Lombard family, the Billy family...

Please rest assured, except for the Dawson family, the rest of the northern lords have agreed to replace their territories with the Maynum family..."

"Wait!" Colin immediately interrupted Earl Anka and asked, "Agree? Who agreed that they would exchange territory with the Maynum family?"

Count Anka's heart jumped, and he said carefully: "Viscount Angley, these lords have agreed, and we have also obtained the permission of Emperor Reinhardt."

Colin remained unmoved, and said coldly: "What about the Saint Hild family? Have you forgotten who is the master of the North?"

Count Anka smiled and said: "That's why I came to Winter City, just to get the consent of the St. Hild family."

When Vera heard this, she didn't look up, as if she had no interest in Count Anka's proposal.

Colin put the coffee cup heavily on the table, and said in a bad tone: "Earl Anka, your Maynum family is ready to dig out such a large territory and establish a country as soon as you arrived in the north. I am afraid that the Saint Hild family has never been Keep it in mind."

The corners of Count Anka's mouth twitched slightly, seeming to be holding back the anger in his heart, but he still smiled and defended:

"How come! The Maynum family has always respected the St. Hild family, this time the founding of the country was also approved by Emperor Reinhardt, and after the founding of the country, the dwarf kingdom will become the eternal partner of the St. Hild family! "

"Partner?" Colin smiled coldly, "But the St. Hild family does not need a partner like you. If you are a vassal, you can still consider it. Or else, your Maynum family swears allegiance to the St. Hild family. , The Northern Territory can also accept you to settle here."

Count Anka's face also darkened, as if he had lost patience with Colin, so he turned to Vera and asked directly:

"Miss Vera, is that what you mean too?"

Vera then raised her head, looked at Count Anka calmly, and nodded seriously: "This is what I mean, and it is also the will of the Saint Hild family!"

Count Anka was finally enraged, and immediately stood up and said loudly:

"I came with peaceful goodwill, but I did not expect to receive a strong hostility!

Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia, I already understand what you mean, and I will definitely tell my father and let him make the decision.

Thank you for your hospitality and goodbye! "

After speaking, Count Anka saluted perfunctorily, and then left in a stride.

Looking at the back of the other party, Colin frowned and said to Vera beside him:

"I think something might have happened to the dwarf, otherwise they wouldn't come to negotiate with us so early, and the attitude was extremely low when they came up. I deliberately stimulated a few times before finally angering him."

Vera chuckled and patted Colin on the arm, and smiled: "I thought it was strange just now. Is this still a dwarf who is famous for his violent temper? I have tolerated you for so long.

It seems that the other party is really anxious to negotiate with us. "

Colin stretched out a lazy waist, and said leisurely: "What the enemy wants to do, we can't let them succeed easily! So don't worry, talk slowly.

If they really want to make peace, they will come again. "

Vera's eyes flickered, and she thought for a while and said, "I think the changes on the dwarf's side may be related to the arcane fluctuations that I noticed in the morning."

"Oh?" Colin's heart moved. "Then do you figure out what happened outside the city that morning?"

"It's too far apart, I don't know what it is." Vera shook her head, but then she suggested: "Maybe you can ask the teacher."

"Mage Cusius?" Colin thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, I'll see if he knows."
