Arthur had just hid back in his room and lay in bed without image. Thorne stepped in.

    Looking at Thorne, Arthur bowed his arms at him and said weakly, "let them bring the food. I''m really lazy. I''ll eat lunch here today. Alas, I should have to go to the factory in the afternoon. I really want to take a nap..."

    Arthur thought the housekeeper had asked Thorne to inform him of the meal.

    "Your Excellency, someone has come to visit you."

    "Visit, who?"

    "There are two people. One is Vernon. It should be those things. The other is pace. The other claims to be a mercenary and wants to see you."

    "Pace?" Arthur rubbed up and sat on the bed. "Is it the guy who was driven out of the king''s capital?"

    "It should be him," Thorne said.

    Sitting cross legged on the bed, Arthur thought and said, "take them to the study together, and I''ll be there later. By the way, be polite to our guests and let the servant bring wine and food."

    "Yes, my Lord."

    After Thorne left, Arthur fell back and lay back in bed. His eyes were fixed on the roof, and there was a smile on his mouth - a debtor, a curious, really interesting.

    In the castle study, pace stood in front of Arthur''s desk and looked around at the decoration of the room.

    After wandering in Shanghe town for several days, he finally couldn''t resist his curiosity. Before leaving, he decided to meet the Lord who was praised by the leaders.

    "Mr. pace, why don''t we sit down and have a drink instead of standing there and waiting?" Vernon sat aside, enjoying the wine and food served by his servant, and invited him with a smile.

    Looking at Vernon, pace said faintly, "no, I''m more interested in these books than these foods."

    Then he looked at Thorne standing aside. "Excuse me, can I look at these books on the shelf?"

    "You can''t read any books without the permission of the earl." Thorne directly refused pace''s request.

    This scene made Vernon laugh. Pace hit a wall, which made him very happy.

    "Lord pace, the one in front of you is Sir Thorne Glen, the captain of Lingfeng castle," Vernon reminded pace.

    Looking at Thorne, pace nodded slightly.

    From the first sight, he had guessed Thorne''s identity. The scar on the other party''s face was an obvious sign.

    Moreover, out of the strong man''s intuition, he can feel that Thorne is not weaker than him. If such people can''t serve as the captain of the guard, the strength of Lingfeng castle is too terrible.

    In fact, pace''s surprise never stopped from the moment he entered the castle.

    That famous guard with shining breath and sharp eyes is definitely an excellent knight with fighting spirit!

    This may be the strength of the tustra family as the shield of the North! Pace thought that Warcraft had taken the lives of countless people, but it also made the living people stronger.

    "If I say, our Lord Earl is so knowledgeable." Vernon got up and went to pace. "Look here. If you don''t remind me, or Lord Thorne isn''t here, everyone would have thought it''s the bachelor''s library!"

    Vernon smiled and saluted Thorne.

    "Why, do you think there''s something wrong with it?" pace asked.

    Looking at Thorne, who was staring at him expressionless, Vernon smiled and said easily, "how can this be? Shanghe collar needs a knowledgeable Lord! Look at Shanghe town now. I believe no one can do better than Lord Arthur!"

    Then he looked at pace with a smile: "what do you think, Lord pace?"

    Vernon''s behavior reminded pace of those hypocritical nobles in the king''s capital - they always smiled and told lies sincerely. Even if they disgusted themselves, there would never be a trace of embarrassment on their faces.

    Looking at Vernon with a smiling face, pace said coldly, "I''m just a mercenary. You don''t need to call me an adult. In addition, the river collar really needs a knowledgeable Lord."

    Pace''s indifference made Vernon lag slightly.

    "I''ve heard of your name," he then resumed his smile. "As a civilian, I admire Knights like you very much, so even if you are no longer a noble, I still respect you." after that, he bowed slightly.

    Pace didn''t know if he could look at Vernon saluting himself.

    "Lord pace, can I know the purpose of your visit? As you can see, our count is busy and has no time to see us now."

    "We shouldn''t know each other." pace really didn''t like people like Vernon.

    "My name is Vernon. I work for Lord Kiel green, Earl of Greenberg. I''m here to discuss the interests of the iron ore mountain with Lord Arthur on behalf of Lord Kiel green."

    "I don''t mean to exchange ideas with you," said pace. "Mr. Vernon, since you represent count green, we''d better not talk."

    Vernon''s expression stagnated again. Pace''s indifference not only puzzled him, but also made him a little uneasy.

    After smiling and nodding, he returned to his chair wisely, drank ale, looked at pace from time to time, and guessed his intention.

    The first two times when he came alone, Lingfeng Castle didn''t prepare these wheat wine and food

    "I''m so sorry!"

    Escorted by two knights, Arthur stepped into the study and sat on the chair behind the desk.

    Looking at the two people waiting, he smiled and said in a loud voice, "your busy business has kept you waiting. I specially asked the servant to prepare some food. I hope you didn''t think I was careless and neglected you."

    Arthur''s bright smile was like meeting two old friends.

    "I took the liberty of disturbing you," pace said humbly. He really thought Arthur was busy.

    Vernon smiled and said he didn''t feel slighted, and thanked Arthur for the ale and food he had prepared for them.

    It was not the first time he had been neglected. Although he was unhappy, he didn''t dare to express his dissatisfaction with Arthur except for some ambiguous and sour words.

    "Are you pace the mercenary?" asked Arthur.

    "Yes, your excellency."

    Looking at him, Arthur laughed and said happily, "I''ve heard a lot of your deeds from the bachelor. Long ago, I wanted to see you in person and see what the legendary northern glory and genius swordsman are! You know, in my imagination, you are at least a strong man with a height of seven feet, big arms and round waist!"
