306. The Earl and the Princess
Count Lame Wolf smiled again, this time showing his neat human white teeth.
"Your Highness, what are you going to give me?"
"Lame Wolf..." Hala said thoughtfully, "How is the Duke?"
The lame wolf laughed. He knew how influential a legal excuse could be in this world, but the greedy old wolf hadn't had enough yet:
"I think there could be more, such as weapons worthy of a duke's status."
Seeing that Ha La had not returned, he immediately laughed twice:
"We can discuss this later, but I think now is the time to finalize what has been agreed upon."
Lamb waved again, and a man dressed as an attendant immediately appeared next to him. He whispered a few words to the attendant, and then asked him to leave.
Lamb said:
"Everyone is a little tired when you come here. Let's eat something first."
As soon as Lamb finished speaking, several attendants entered the room with trays, gently placed them in front of the girls, opened the lid, and found that they were filled with pre-dinner desserts that could be prepared in a short time.
Caesar did not doubt whether he had poisoned him or not. Both parties were smart people. When Lamb took the initiative to ask for something to eat, it meant that the two of them had reached a consensus in their hearts.
That is, the benefits brought to Lamb by cooperation are much higher than those brought by taking action against them.
People like them will always put their lives in the hands of others, but as long as both parties are not stupid and have no psychological problems, the probability of an accident is even lower than being killed by a meteorite while walking on the road.
Caesar's understanding of Lamb was beyond his expectation.
Antotika breathed a sigh of relief:
"Can we finally go back?"
Fanny also smiled happily:
"When I go back, I just want to lie down on the big bed at home and have a good roll."
Inge sighed:
"Although I still want to see further places, I'd better go back as soon as possible. After I go back, I will try my best to find the magical power on the ground."
Ha La poured cold water on them:
"Peloris is probably still in a cell in Poker Kingdom right now."
Lamb's eyes lit up:
"Are you talking about the resistance warrior Peloris?"
Caesar wondered:
"Resistance warrior?"
Lame Wolf Lamb took a sip of black coffee:
"The news spread faster than the wind. Peloris, the resistance warrior who assassinated the tyrant Clown King, had enough righteous deeds to fill two pages. However, this brave lady was a bit unlucky.
"
Hala asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lamb frowned:
"Don't you know yet? This news came from the Poker Kingdom, how could it be faster than you?"
Caesar interjected:
"Maybe someone wants it to catch up with us."
Ha La asked regardless:
"What's wrong Peloris?"
Lamb replied:
"This great fighter will be hanged in fifteen days for assisting the rebels in assassinating the king. Of course, there are only eight days left."
The waiter just walked into the room, carrying fragrant roast leg of lamb, tender and golden roast suckling pig, and deer antler soup.
Ha La also stood up at this moment, frightening the attendants to stop.
"Caesar, take them with you to my house to find Hevin."
Caesar also stood up:
"You can't go back. It took us seven days to get here. Even if you turn around now, what can you do?"
Hala said:
"I'm the one who won't get into trouble. Don't worry. Hewen left me a lot of things to defend myself. Besides, I can actually be faster than a carriage."
Caesar said:
"Although your father was a king, he was still a king when he died at the hands of the Clown Queen.
"Many people only notice the Queen's powerful magic, so they tend to ignore that the King of Hearts is also a legendary warrior. This is why he personally participated in the assassination. Otherwise, if he was a man who only relied on his wife, how could he die?
in the city."
Lamb added:
"But compared to other kings, the King of Hearts is indeed the weakest in combat power. He became a legend because of his wife, and as legends, the gap between the Queen and him is not the slightest bit.
"In my opinion, Little Caesar, that old guy can't survive more than three seconds in front of Wolf."
Caesar opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he held back.
Hora looked at the necklaces, rings, bracelets, and trinkets on her body, and finally took off the bracelet and handed it to Caesar:
"This thing has no protective effect when it's not on me, but as long as you take it back to my house, Hevin will be able to sense it no matter where he is."
Caesar said solemnly:
"If you fall into their hands, it will not be a good thing for Hevin or your friends."
Hala said:
"I know that I will not take risks unless it is the last moment, and I will not ignore my abilities and put Peloris and me into a more dangerous situation."
Caesar said:
"I don't want to wait until I meet Hevendrenger and he asks me where you are. When I tell him that you ran into a group of dangerous guys, he slaps me to death."
Hala said:
"Hewen is a good man, you don't have to be afraid of him."
Caesar curled his lips in disbelief.
The boy sighed, and then looked at the girl seriously:
"Forget it, if you have to leave, you can go back to the Queen directly and discuss it with her. We will wait here for the passage to open and notify Hewen as soon as possible.
"But I want to warn you, now that you have made this decision, everything you make in the future must be borne by yourself. Can you do it?"
Hala nodded.
The old gentleman suddenly asked:
"If you must go up, why don't you let me escort this girl."
Hala said:
"You may not be able to keep up with me."
The old man smiled and did not explain how fast he could run or what it meant to be close to a legend:
"Speed is not important, as long as it arrives before the hanging is carried out, and at my speed, the time is more than enough."
Count Lame Wolf added:
"Of course, I am definitely not helping for free. It is very risky to leave my own channel to a powerful young wizard, so I must get enough rewards, for example, a weapon that matches my new identity.
"
Lame Wolf's tone changed again when he said this:
"But I don't need you to make a promise now, because I believe that a king and his most precious princess will not disappoint my expectations. As long as Mr. King can give me a small gift that satisfies me."
Caesar nodded slightly:
"With the help of Earl Lame Wolf, you can avoid a lot of troubles. Some dangers are not written on the map, but these dangers will slow you down."
Hala hesitated.
