Lant heard the cry of an eagle in his castle, and subconsciously guessed that such a large aura, much thicker than fire, must be a mid-level magical beast.
The huge cry attracted the attention of many people. From Tenia to the knight apprentices, they all ran to the city wall and looked at the sky warily.
When Lant walked to the watchtower of the castle, he saw a black spot in the east getting bigger and bigger. Soon the black spot turned into four legs and a pair of huge wings.
"Griffin?" Lant had only seen this legendary animal that could run and fly in the game of his previous life. Speaking of griffins, Lant happened to have heard of a griffon knight and recalled her in his mind. The image of a lady in aristocratic dress, as well as his husband's 16 wives.
As the shadow of the griffon gets bigger and bigger, one can gradually see another person on top of the griffin, the griffin knight. Because the griffin's body shakes very little when flying in the sky, the knight only needs to lean forward and grab the reins behind the griffin's mane, which looks more like riding a flying motorcycle.
The gryphon had no intention of landing at Lot Castle, but gradually descended to a height of more than ten meters above the watchtower. When it was about to pass the top of the tower, the knight jumped instantly and landed firmly in front of Lant.
The knight in front of Lant was wearing a black burgundy leather jacket, beige trousers, black boots, and a black motorcycle-like helmet on his head. There was an owl logo with wings spread on the helmet, and there were golden wings on the ears. Decorated, there is a huge transparent cover on the front.
"Lord Viscount, long time no see~" When the knight took off his helmet, it was Rant's turn to be so shocked that he was almost speechless.
"Duchess?" Lant recognized the female knight in front of him. She was Li Qi's wife, the Grand Knight Su Xi Lan Yuan. The heroic Su Xi in front of him no longer looked like a lady, she was completely handsome. Motorcycle rider.
"When Li Qi is not with me, I prefer you to call me Su Xi Knight." Su Xi said with a smile, "Looking at you, did you not expect me to come?"
"Well, of course." Lant suddenly found himself frozen on the observation deck, completely forgetting to salute, "I didn't expect you to leave the Duke and come here in person."
"Ha~, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" The female knight smiled, "Do you think I am a noble lady who looks after her husband and raises her children, and attends balls every day?"
"Um, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I thought that as the Duchess, you would always stay by his side." To be precise, Lant has not understood the marriage between demon possessors in this world.
"He has 16 wives, and he doesn't need everyone to surround him at all times." Susie said with a matter-of-fact expression, "It seems like you are really not familiar with the top brass of the kingdom."
"Yes, more than one person suggested that I should study at Blue Dragon School for a longer period of time, but unfortunately I couldn't spare the time." Lant could only express regret, but there was no regret at all in his heart.
"Well, in fact, the purpose of most girls marrying Li Qi is to ensure that he can become the king and his family can benefit."
"Are you telling me so directly?" Susie expressed the essence of political marriage without reservation, which shocked Lant.
"What's the matter? What I want to tell you is that although the family that wants to marry you also has the idea of monitoring the Benma Plain, the more important reason is that they hope you can control the plain. What they value more is a stable place. The northwest border of the kingdom." Susie's meaning is very simple. Compared with surveillance, marriage is more of an investment.
"Thank you, you really answered my question." Lant said thoughtfully. Even if it was investment, he was not interested in it at the moment. Once financing started, in order to ensure control of the equity, he must continue to raise funds and expand the scope of shareholders. In other words, the dozen or so wives around Li Qi may also be afraid that the influence of a single natal family will be too great and will continue to be diluted.
"So, do you need me to introduce my cousin to you?" Susie saw that Lant seemed to be enlightened, so she continued to ask tentatively.
Lant had no expectations for a life at the mercy of others, and naturally did not want to talk about any family marriage, so he simply changed the subject, "So are you here today to introduce a blind date on behalf of His Highness the Prince or your family?"
"Of course I have them all." Susie was about to continue, but heard Tania's voice.
"Who is this? There is such a big movement." Tania has flown to the watchtower at this time. The magic fairy can naturally feel that the big knight and her intermediate monster in front of her are very dangerous to Lant. .
"I've met Tutor Tania. I'm Susie Lanyuan, from the royal capital of Dragon Tooth City." Facing Tania, Susie took off her hat and bowed, making a fist with her right hand and placing it on her left shoulder. Her knightly etiquette was very standard.
"Ah, I know you, Li Qi's wife, right?" After hearing the other party announcing her family status, Taniya's attitude changed. As the magic goblin next to the Dragon Blood Queen, they have all met Li Qi and know that the Queen has Prince Li Qi is very caring.
"As expected of Her Majesty the Queen's child, first of all, on behalf of Her Majesty Tyriana Dragonblood Queen, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion." The female knight took out an eggshell and said, "Her Majesty said she was very happy that Tania could break through. , she is the first magical goblin on the Galloping Horse Plains in nearly 300 years. For this reason, Her Majesty the Queen has chosen an earth-type goblin for you as a gift for the Galloping Horse family to cultivate the first magical goblin."
Suddenly Susie leaned into Lant's ear and whispered, "The Queen said that there are also ley lines over there at the iron mine. You can try it. However, the information our family has received is that the barbarians over at the iron mine are difficult to deal with. You If necessary, our family can support the Magister or the Silver Knight, as long as you train a young man for our family in the future. We can easily discuss it." Obviously the Queen knows the Galloping Horse Plains well, and has already guessed how Tania will be promoted and how she will be promoted in the future. How does Rand plan to develop?
"Thank you, Queen."
"Secondly, I want to represent the Red Dragon Royal Family," the female knight said and took out a small magic sealing box. "This is the specialty of the Dragon Blood Queen, Dragon Blood Thorn Dew, which is a fine wine specially designed for magical fairies to drink."
"Oh?" Tania became interested. She opened the magic sealing box and saw exquisite small porcelain bottles. She took out one and put it to her mouth and smelled it. "Sure enough, it was thorn dew. It seemed like it when I was still in the royal capital. After a few sips, the lifespan of ordinary fairies can be increased."
"I see, it cost Your Majesty and His Highness a lot of money."
"Lord Viscount, you are so polite. You are the vice-captain of the Knights of the Royal Capital. If a magic elf breaks through in your family, we naturally want to congratulate you. Finally, there is a congratulatory gift from our Lan Yuan family." Susie took out a A piece of paper was handed to Lant,
"What is this?" Opening the paper, Lant was immediately attracted by the door-like pattern on it. The huge shape and complicated magic power made it look like a huge magic institution.
"Portal" Susie's expression admiring this rand
"What?"
"The Lanyuan family has been able to hold the position of Marquis of the Dragon Royal Family and Prime Minister of the Kingdom for generations. Of course, it has its own heritage. If you need it, sir, our family can help you build a portal in Lot Castle. In the future, Lot will be close to the royal capital. It’s close at hand.”
“What will this door cost me?”
"Sir, you are indeed smart." The knight smiled, "In addition to a little basic cost, we hope that you can support Her Majesty the Queen at the critical moment and appear in the royal capital with your knights."
"Of course, our gate is not only built for your knights to come to the capital. Our family's knights can also help you seize the iron ore in one fell swoop. You will gain far more power than you have now."
