Chapter 216 Earl Solo’s Invitation
The days of the caravan trip passed quickly, but Lis was not bored.
Because he had new fun.
Tiantian grabbed a handful of melon seeds or nuts and sat aside with a smile, watching Fink clumsily show his kindness to Liz.
The little girl Liz didn't realize it at first, but after a few times, she quickly understood Fink's thoughts.
But she was immature and didn't know how to respond to Fink, so she later asked Cress to step in.
Fink did not give up and continued to work hard for his first love.
After eating the melon seeds in his hand, Li Si patted Fink's shoulder with satisfaction, cheered him up, and then strolled to the carriage of the White Wolf Mercenary Group and lay down The above begins to meditate on the arcane model.
Soon, the Fez caravan arrived at Beifeng City.
A long line of people entering the city lined up under the black iron-colored city wall. Neatly dressed guards were carefully and responsibly checking the travelers and carriages who wanted to enter the city, and the clerk on the side kept accounts and collected the city entry fees. .
This looks more formal than all the noble territories along the way.
The Solo family is truly the backbone of the North.
At this time, the clerk who was registering at the city gate saw the Fez caravan group, his expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to greet them respectfully.
“Excuse me, are you from the Fez Caravan?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
Luo Kui was a little curious. This was not the case before when he came to Beifeng City.
“Count Solo has given instructions that if your caravan comes, you don’t need to pay the city tax and can just enter the city directly.”
“If you have nothing else, please You go directly to the city."
"Is your caravan still settling in Old Jack's hotel?"
Looking at this obviously overly enthusiastic secretary.
Luo Kui seemed to realize something, nodded with a smile and said:
"I'll trouble you then."
The secretary nodded and quickly asked the city guards on the side to clear the passage into the city.
The small merchants and travelers who were invited aside did not pay much attention. Instead, they looked at the people in the Fez caravan with more curious eyes.
In Beifeng City, there is Count Solo, and ordinary people like them don't worry about being blackmailed, it just takes a little more time.
The clerk pulled over a city guard captain in black armor, gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then walked to Luo Kui's side, walking side by side toward the hotel.
Beifeng City is one of the very important hub cities in the northern part of the Kingdom of Fes. Going north from here, the terrain will not be as flat as before. The gradually rolling hills and mountains divide the northernmost part of the kingdom into Territories of various sizes.
It was also from here that the grasslands began to be replaced by coniferous forests dominated by pine and fir trees.
Similarly, various special products in the north, such as rare medicinal materials, animal skins and minerals, are also converging on Beifeng City.
Under the guidance of the current Count Solo, North Wind City has become a must-stop for many passing caravans. At the same time, he spent huge sums of money to hire several dwarf masters to establish the largest settlement in the northern part of the kingdom in North Wind City. Weapons and equipment forging workshop.
As a result, North Wind City became more and more prosperous, and Count Solo became one of the richest nobles in the North.
Sufficient financial resources also allowed him to build a strong enough army and solid city defenses.
Many people did not understand the Earl's foresight until after the invasion of the Kingdom of Dillon.
Soon, the caravan arrived at today’s destination, Old Jack’s Inn.
This is the largest hotel in Beifeng City, specifically providing services to passing caravans.
The waiter at Old Jack's Hotel seemed to have been notified in advance. As soon as Luo Kui and others arrived, everything was arranged properly without him having to worry about it at all.
While the hotel waiter was busy arranging for the caravan to check in, the secretary quietly pulled Roque aside and asked: "That Lord Li Si should be in the caravan now, right?"
"Lord Ignatius has already told me that I have been waiting at the city gate these days."
Luo Kui looked as if he was like this, and then fell silent. Nod.
After receiving the confirmation, the secretary whispered:
"I still have to trouble you. Lord Earl Solo may come here later and invite Lord Lis to attend a party specially held in the castle."
"So."
"Okay, I will inform Mr. Li Si."
Luo Kui naturally understood what the secretary meant.
It seems that Count Solo attaches great importance to Lord Lis.
Generally speaking, when lords and nobles meet nobles of equal or higher title who come to their territory, they will often invite them to visit their castles and have dinner together, which is considered a relatively decent reception. .
And Count Solo even prepared a party in the castle for Lis in advance, which was a sign of great importance.
After Luo Kui reported Count Solo's preparations for the party to Li Si, Li Si just nodded to indicate that he understood.
He didn't care much about the courtesy exchanges between these nobles, but he would not deliberately refuse them.
Just in time to meet Count Solo, who was also an important NPC in his previous life.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the hotel, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown luxurious dress walked into the hotel surrounded by guards.
This is Count Ander Solo.
Ander walked into the hotel, and well-equipped guards lined up beside him. The people resting in the hotel lobby couldn't help but hold their breath.
Some people have recognized that the person in front of them is the lord of this place. They are a little surprised and wonder what big thing happened, so they asked this gentleman to come there in person.
Ender waited for a moment and saw Li Si, who had changed into a noble formal attire, walking down the stairs.
After all, Count Solo is very sincere, and it would be a bit rude to wear that adventurer costume again.
Earl Solo quickly stepped forward, held Li Si's hand and said:
"I am Ander Solo, and it is an honor for you, Marquis of Kane, to come to North Wind City. ”
“I have long heard of your great achievements in Bright Light City, and you have been praised by the King as the hope of the kingdom. It is indeed extraordinary to see you today.”
Li Si gently shook the hand he held, and said with a smile:
"No, Count Solo has exaggerated praise. I have heard about the reputation of the Wild Boar Family in Bright City, and I just have the opportunity to see it today. Visit."
"Haha, you are too polite."
Ander smiled and shook his head. Although he was much older than Li Si, he did not feel contempt for Li Si.
It’s an old fox!
Li Si secretly paid attention to it.
Ander looked around at the surprised pedestrians, nodded and said:
"It's not very convenient to have a deep conversation here. Please come with me to the castle. The party will be waiting for you."
Li Si was confident, and followed Count Solo onto the luxurious carriage parked outside the door, driving towards Solo Castle in the south of North Wind City.
After the two people and a kind of guard retreated, the hall that had been quiet for a long time became noisy again.
Several people from the White Wolf Mercenary Group sat at a table in the corner of the hotel and witnessed all this happening.
Fink, who has been obsessed with trying to please Liz these days, is a little confused.
"That person is Moriarty?"
Magath and the other mercenaries looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.
This guy is so stupid!
