The next day, the sun at noon yawned boredly and hid itself in the clouds, not wanting people to see it lose its composure.
Nok lay on the bed bored and looked at the door with longing eyes.
No matter how much Sally, who was holding the food, tried to persuade her, she didn't take a bite.
"Why isn't Anna back? She's been gone all day and all night."
Sally could only lie bravely and said: "Maybe the young master is too seriously injured and the madam can't leave."
How did they know that Anna was still coaxing a little man on the bed at this time.
Although the little man is a rookie, he can't stand the energy of young people.
I kept asking for it, but I couldn't get enough.
Although Anna was impatient, who made this kid still valuable?
In just one night, this kid automatically wrote a statement giving up inheriting Ford Holmes' inheritance.
Anna doesn't care about the size of the inheritance, she only cares about the legalization of the inheritance.
Only in this way can her future identity and power be able to withstand scrutiny.
For this reason, in order to reward this little devil, she spent another whole morning trying different tricks to coax him.
After finally coaxing the kid to satisfaction, he remembered that there was a more troublesome guy in his room, another kid who was not a few years older.
However, compared to the little Guitou who was like a rookie, she was looking forward to a close battle.
But before that, she had to take a shower and change her clothes.
Otherwise, if the flaw is exposed, then there will be no fun.
After all, Nook Lane has a holy war contract with him. If he is lost, the loss will be huge!
After she gets rid of the scourge of Sig Holmes, she can sell Nook Lane for a good price.
She could sit back and relax in England.
Maybe he could even get a noble status and sneak into the aristocratic circle.
When the time comes, it will be only a matter of time before he recruits a group of subordinates to realize his ambition!
With a wishful thinking in mind, Anna finally tidied herself up and returned to her yard with a hint of disguised sadness.
The moment she saw Nok, she put on a forced smile, then dismissed Sally, and blocked Nok's mouth with a hearty battle.
In this way, Anna stayed with Nok during the day and went to deal with Sherlock at night.
She has been playing with the two brats in applause, but she did not hide it from the servants in the manor.
So much so that when the patrolling guards saw her, they boldly approached her and began to speak obscenely in an attempt to kiss her.
Anna didn't care. When she was in a good mood, she would treat them to some ice cream.
When you are in a bad mood, scold them directly and assign them some dirty work.
Therefore, people in the manor began to talk about it and began to curse her behind her back.
Soon, the matter between her and Sherlock spread even more to the outside world.
However, no one knew that Anna was behind all of this.
The rumored matter was controlled by her.
When the rumor spread, it finally reached one person's ears.
Outside the south gate of England City, thirty miles away from the city, there is a dense forest. Deep in the forest, there is a valley hidden in the woods.
A special army is stationed in the valley.
The valley is wide on the inside and narrow on the outside. The mouth of the valley is less than the width of two carriages running parallelly, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In particular, this army in the valley is still a cavalry, and it is also a special heavy cavalry.
He leads the personal guard of Earl Julia Kent of the Province of Kent - Heavy Armored Dragoons.
Referred to as Dragoon.
The reason why this cavalry is called dragon cavalry is because the mounts of this cavalry are all ground dragons with short forelimbs and well-developed lower limbs.
The earth-walking dragon belongs to the sub-dragon species. It is said to be the descendant of a giant dragon.
It's just that in the age of gods, the dragon suffered heavy losses due to its participation in the divine war. Therefore, the dragon almost became a legend.
Legend has it that there is an Iceland that is covered with snow all year round further north of the Lion Heart Kingdom. There is a steep snow mountain in the center of the island, and on the top of the mountain lives a giant frost dragon that sleeps all year round.
In a volcano south of the Holy Court of the Holy Papal State, there lives a giant red dragon. It wakes up and eats once every hundred years, causing the volcano to erupt once every hundred years.
Finally, it is said that there is a huge building inside the Holy Court, in which lives a bright holy dragon, which was the Holy Lord's former mount and retired in the Holy Court.
Of course, these are just legends because no one has actually seen them.
Or maybe everyone who has seen it is silent.
But Yalong is no stranger to people.
Yaron is a type of magical creature, so it is classified as a World of Warcraft.
Earth dragons are a type of dragon. They cannot use magic, but they can breathe dragon breath.
The short forelimbs have lost the ability to run, but possess amazing flapping and grabbing power.
The well-developed hind limbs enable rapid running speed and amazing jumping ability.
The strong tail is stronger than a steel whip.
A mouthful of fangs can even bite a regular knight's sword in pieces.
As for such a creature, in its juvenile stage, including its tail length, its body length is more than three meters, and its height is about one and a half meters.
During the growth period, the body length reaches five to eight meters, and the height is about 1.8 to 2.5 meters.
At maturity, the body length can reach ten to twelve meters, and the height can reach three or even four meters. (Note 1)
It can be said that it is a giant.
The dragoons in the valley happened to have five earthly dragons in their growth stage and fifty in their infancy.
Although there are only fifty-five in number, they can scare even the Royal Knights of a hundred people when they run.
Not to mention the special nature of the Earthly Dragons, which means that their knights are all heavily armored knights who wear heavy armor, hold knight's heavy spears, and carry two-handed swords.
Moreover, these Earthly Dragon Gods have a pair of hard scales, which are no less defensive than armor.
It is not a problem to crush thousands of ordinary cavalry with one charge.
Not to mention, it is said that in addition to the five captains, this dragoon also has a mysterious leader. Not only does that leader have the strength of a golden knight, his mount is a mature earth dragon.
However, the commander always wore full armor and only used military gestures to command the team every time he took action. No one knew what he looked like or who he was.
Such a team of aces is hidden in this valley by the Queen and is undergoing secret training.
Speaking of training, knights are more about recuperating. What knights do most is not training, but playing with their mounts and cultivating intimacy.
There are only five real training days a month.
And today happens to be one of five training days.
However, today's training had to be terminated because of one person.
"Sig! Stop! You are crazy! I won't let you leave like this!"
"Larry, get out of my way, I'm going back to stab that shameless woman to death!"
On the training ground, two knights riding a seven- to eight-meter-long earth dragon were facing each other.
One is holding a weapon and wants to rush out, while the other is unarmed and is riding a mount to block the opponent.
Around them, a group of smaller ground dragons were blocking the road leading to the entrance of the valley.
Obviously, the two people quarreling were the two captains of the dragoons.
The commotion on the training ground soon attracted the attention of the other three captains in the rear quarters.
"Larry, Sig, what are you two doing! Why aren't you training as planned!"
As the deputy commander of the entire dragoon, the captain of the first team, Osman, ran over very angrily and loudly accused the two people riding on the horse.
Larry quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to train, but that guy Sig suddenly went crazy and wanted to ride back to kill people on the ground dragon!"
Larry's words surprised Osman who came over. The second captain Kyle and the fourth captain Dukan who were traveling with him also looked at Sig in surprise.
"Sig, why are you crazy? Have you forgotten the military regulations? Without the order of the Earl of Kent and the Queen's warrant, the dragoons are not allowed to go out without permission. You actually want to ride the dragon back to the city, and you are not afraid of being captured by the city guards. You were shot as an enemy!
The current city guard is composed of musketeers. They are not the cold weapons of the past. They shoot us without pain or itching. I don't care if you want to die, but you can't let the precious earth dragon accompany you to death! "
"Do you know how much manpower and material resources a growing earth dragon consumes?"
Sig Holmes, who was scolded, slammed his rifle into the ground in displeasure.
"Okay, I can go back without riding the dragon. Please saddle me up with a horse. I'll take three days off. I want to go back and kill that slut."
Seeger's gaffe surprised his colleagues.
As the captain of the fifth team, Seager has always been a calm and unsmiling person even though he has been promoted for a few years.
As a colleague and captain, he is quite outstanding.
Why are you so irritable and impulsive today!
"Sig, calm down. Tell us what happened. If we can help, we won't stand by and watch. At worst, we won't be training today. Brothers will accompany you."
Hearing the deputy commander's question, Sig looked ugly and remained silent.
In the end, it was the cavalryman who heard the rumors from the city and told Sig what he heard.
In front of everyone, he told everyone about Sherlock and Anna.
However, when he finished speaking, everyone was embarrassed.
"This...Sig, could it be a misunderstanding?"
Osman didn't even know how to speak. If he had known about this kind of family scandal, he wouldn't have asked.
How can outsiders get involved in this kind of thing?
Not to mention that Sig is still a baron. If word spreads about it, it will be discredited by the aristocratic circle.
If it is serious, it may even trigger a collective protest in the aristocratic circle, forcing the Queen to strip Sigurd of his title.
You must know that every title of their dragoons was obtained with their lives and military exploits.
How can you give up so easily.
"Let's do it like this. I'll give you a few days off. You can get on your horse and go back to the city to deal with it quietly. Don't make a big fanfare. If it's true, kill that woman quietly at home, and then publicize it to the outside world. It doesn't matter whether you die of illness or die for your husband's love. And then do it again Send your son abroad for further study. We will bring him back after the news has passed in a few years."
Osman quickly thought of a way and quickly pulled Sig aside to persuade.
Several other officers also knew the seriousness of the matter and issued hush orders to the cavalry.
This is no longer the age of chivalry. Murdering a human life cannot be redeemed with money.
If Sig really goes home and kills his brother's wife and is exposed, he will face legal sanctions even if he has a title.
The worst case could be that he would be deprived of his title, or that he might be sentenced to exile.
These nobles are not old nobles. If they make a mistake, they will definitely be crucified by the old nobles.
Sig reluctantly accepted Osman's suggestion, packed his bags, and left the camp on horseback.
However, when he left the camp, his face no longer had anger, but was full of murderous intent.
"Anna, you shouldn't have had Sherlock threaten me. You forced me to die with you!"
"Wait, I will definitely give you a big surprise!"
[Note 1: The ground dragon was originally set based on the data of the raptor. However, considering the encounter of the protagonist in the later period, the data of Tyrannosaurus rex was used to set the earth dragon. But I'm too lazy to look up the data on juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex. Therefore, the three data of Terrestrial Dragon are all made up by me based on the fossil data of Tyrannosaurus rex. Anyway, the appearance is based on Tyrannosaurus rex. But the character is based on an ostrich. 】
