Chapter 76: Hospitality

Although Ethan still trusted Sophia, he had no illusions about what she said about being able to see the Grand Duke of the North with his own eyes.

After all, a powerful prince with a lot of troops in his hands, who takes care of everything every day, how can he have time to see a little person like him?

But what he didn't expect was that two days later, Duke Eagle actually sent someone to the territory.

The person who came was none other than Andy, the knight who had stayed before. Also coming with him were six other knights, each with an eagle mount.

In addition, there is an eagle riding in the air, which is particularly conspicuous.

Andy has now been officially appointed as the liaison officer, responsible for liaison matters in the Lawson family territory. This not only exempts him from punishment, but also allows him to reach a higher level.

Especially after seeing the Duke's punishment of other personnel, he was particularly grateful to Ethan.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Ethan, he warmly hugged him.

"Dear Knight Ethan, it's nice to see you again so soon."

Ethan saw that the other party was too enthusiastic and hugged too tightly, so he patted the other party's back: "Andy Knight, please don't be like this!

You might as well tell me the purpose of this trip. "

When Andy heard this, he realized that he was too enthusiastic. He let go of the hug and smiled awkwardly: "The Duke wants to summon you, and we are here to pick you up."

"The Duke summoned me?" Ethan thought he heard wrongly: "The Duke wants to summon a little person like me?"

"Yes, Knight Ethan!" Andy said with a smile: "However, Knight Ethan, please don't call yourself a nobody, you are a lord!

When the Duke found out that the people who attacked the territory were people from within the Northland, he was furious and ordered the personal guards to start a thorough investigation of the matter.

Many relevant personnel have been punished. Thanks to you, I..."

Andy did not finish telling his story and turned to other things: "To express his apology, the Duke invited you to have dinner. You see, the eagles and eagles are all ready for you.

Of course, you don’t have to worry about the safety of the territory during your absence. We will leave three knights.

They belong to the Duke's First Knights. Although their average strength is only the ninth level of gold, they have been battle-hardened for a long time. In terms of actual combat ability, each of them is comparable to a master knight.

certainly……"

Speaking of this, Andy leaned close to Ethan Knight's ear and continued in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about them making a mess here.

On the way here, I had already given them eye drops, and introduced them to them in an emotional way about what they did last time and what happened to them.

You see, this time we landed the eagle in the snow, and it was all suggested by the three of them.

Apparently, they took what I said into consideration. "

Ethan couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but he finally didn't laugh out loud.

He looked around at the people and said slowly: "It's still morning now, and the Duke wants to have dinner with me. Is there too long of a gap, or did I hear wrongly?"

"Of course you heard it right!" Andy nodded and confirmed: "Maybe Knight Ethan thinks it's still a long time, but that's not the case. If we don't set off quickly and change our mounts midway, we may not be able to make it in time for dinner. ”

Upon hearing this, Ethan immediately made a decision: "It's an honor to be invited by Duke Eagle, but the incident happened unexpectedly, so please allow me to prepare a little gift.

By the way, Andy Knight, I hope you can take the attacker's body back.

You should know where the body is!

Of course, please understand that although the opponent's body was separated, it was only at the end of the battle, and I definitely did not insult the body. "

Recalling the rules of the North that Sophia had said, Ethan explained them specially. When Andy nodded to express his understanding, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his room to pack his things.

In fact, there is nothing to deal with. The main purpose is to pack a cup of coffee. After all, he also wants to expand the coffee business to the North.

If Duke Eagle likes this kind of tea, then even if the business in Maruo City is not as expected, he can still make a lot of money in the North.

After a while, Ethan carried a small box of beautifully packaged coffee and set off on the eagle the Duke had prepared for him.

Although it was his first time riding the Eagle, Ethan didn't feel any bumps, and even felt it was very stable.

Therefore, I particularly like this kind of mount and want to get one of my own.

The last time he saw the eagle for the first time, Ethan actually noticed that the [Eagle Taming] skill was responsive.

In other words, eagles are hawk-like creatures and can be tamed using the [Eagle Taming] skill.

At that time, Ethan wanted to get one to try, but he just considered that these eagles were the private property of the Grand Duke of the North.

If you forcefully tame one, I'm afraid not only will it not be able to help, but it will also cause big trouble.

The level of trouble depends on how much the Duke values ​​the eagle.

Of course, although riding the Eagle is not bumpy, it does not mean it is very comfortable.

Especially flying in the freezing cold wind of winter was extremely uncomfortable. Ethan felt as if both of his ears were about to be blown off by the cold wind.

Fortunately, Andy Knight saw Ethan's predicament and threw his earmuffs to Ethan, while he wrapped a scarf around his head and was done.

In this way, after flying for more than half a day and changing horses at a fortress midway, they arrived at the Duke's castle before sunset.

The Duke's Castle is located next to William's Fortress. Unlike most majestic castles, the Duke's Castle in the North is embedded in a mountain peak.

To be precise, except for a tall gatehouse that is exposed outside, everything else is located inside the mountain.

And this mountain is closely connected to the William Fortress next to it, as if it is a tight war organization.

Although Ethan knew that the Lord of the North was pragmatic, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the other party even built his residence next to the city wall fortress.

With admiration, Ethan walked into the castle under the leadership of Andy.

However, before entering the gatehouse, Ethan was stopped by the guards and asked him to hand over the sword on his waist before entering.

This made Ethan very distressed. If there was no sword, if there was any danger after entering, he would have no self-protection ability at all.

After hesitating again and again, he finally handed over the sword because he believed that the Duke would not harm him.

But no matter what, it is always uncomfortable to put your life in the hands of others.

Following Andy trembling all the way, through the long corridor, through the spacious hall, and up the winding stone stairs...

Finally came to a warm and comfortable room.

The room was not very big. There was a blazing fire in the fireplace on the wall. The slightly dim flames illuminated the entire room, warming people's hearts. At this time, heavy snow was falling outside the window.

After Knight Andy brought Ethan here, he poured Ethan a cup of hot tea and asked Ethan to wait for the Duke here, while he left first.

Ethan felt something was wrong. No one was with him. This was definitely not the way to entertain guests.

But he didn't know what to do. He could only sit in the chair anxiously, waiting for the Duke to come.
