"I understand what you mean, and I will keep it in mind."

Thales said solemnly.

But his words were a bit more sincere than the previous polite conversation.

This time, Dele stared at him for a long time.

"thank you."

The count responded softly, but extremely seriously:

"Your Highness Thales."

After finishing speaking, Dele turned the horse's head as the horse slowed down, and stretched out his arms towards the town that appeared in front of him unknowingly:

"Then, welcome to Grace Town."

Thales took a deep breath and turned his head.

He looked at the small town in front of him from a distance with scattered houses and wide stone brick pavements. Almost hundreds of residents were waiting nervously behind the sentry line composed of Crow Whistle Qingqi, casting curious eyes towards the center of their team.

Thales clenched his fist lightly.

"Don't forget the origin of its name."

Just listen to Dele say with deep meaning:

"This is your Majesty's gift."

But the next second, before Thales could reply, there was a commotion in the "welcoming crowd" in front of him.

Thales and Dele's attentions were raised at the same time.

Under the vigilant eyes of the Crow Guards and the "freaks" who were shouting outside and trying not to get close to the prince, a group of dozens of black-armored soldiers roughly pushed aside the crowd and came with heavy steps.

, fierce and powerful.

"Give Way"

Many civilians complained, but no one dared to object. Everyone left the road willingly or unwillingly to make way for this group of soldiers.

Thales frowned.

Many Crow Whistle Qingqiu subconsciously touched their weapons, but made no further moves.

Because a flag rose high as it broke through the crowd like breaking waves.

Looking at the flag, Thales was stunned for a moment.

The flag has a solid yellow background and a lion outlined in black lines.

Black lion on yellow background.

"That's it." Thales was a little confused.

Earl Dele sighed, turned to Thales, and whispered:

"The Black Lion of Heroic Castle, the Bozdorf family, they came earlier than I expected."

Castle of Heroes

Before Thales, who had thought of something, could react, Dele crossed the saddle and pressed Thales' arm:

"That is Earl Lewis. Although he is also one of your imperial vassals, I sincerely advise you, Your Highness, no matter what he said"

Dele's tone was extremely cautious, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved:

"Just smile."

Thales was confused again.

A high-pitched but slightly rough voice, with a little enthusiasm, a little cunning, and perhaps a little coldness and gloom, sounded among the black-armored soldiers:

"Dele, Dele, my dear little Dele"

"You came so quickly, didn't you?"

A middle-aged nobleman of medium stature, slightly fat, but covered in black armor and with a sword hanging from his waist, rode on a horse, surrounded by soldiers on both sides, and came to the front of the "Head Crow" formation.

Dele's personal guards obviously knew him, no one stopped him, and no one spoke.

The guards of the middle-aged nobles also stopped in front of the formation tacitly, allowing their master to hold the reins and move forward.

Thales keenly noticed that Dele took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

I saw the middle-aged nobleman with a warm and somewhat fake smile, reining in front of Dele's horse and stretching out his arms to him:

"Sure enough, in the entire Western Wilderness, whether it's horses or crows, your place is more productive."

The middle-aged noble looked at Dele's mount with an expression of admiration for the horse, but his tone of voice gradually changed:

“It’s obedient, easy to use, fast, and convenient.”

Dele frowned.

The middle-aged noble glanced sideways at the Earl of Wing Castle and showed an intriguing expression:

"From the common people down to the king, everyone likes her very much."

Thales pursed his lips: there was a hint of deep meaning in the other person's words.

Count Dele seemed to have heard nothing, nodded respectfully and responded with a smile:

"Count Lewis Bozdorf."

Dele politely took off his iron gloves and stretched out his right hand:

"It's an honor to meet you."

The middle-aged nobleman smiled, took off his gloves as well, and held Dele's hand.

He didn't answer, but his eyes were like daggers, shooting straight at Thales beside Dele.

Staring at Thales, who was smiling at first, his heart tightened.

"So, where is it?"

The next moment, the man known as Earl Lewis was clearly staring at the prince, but he narrowed his eyes, his face was arrogant, and his tone was gloomy:

"Where is our heroic prince who is said to have defended world peace, conquered the dragon kingdom, and saved the entire planet?"
