Chapter 269 A rose
When Gray heard that Merida was going to leave, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that she would stay here forever and force him to get married.
As a man, he always feels softer about women who have had in-depth communication with him. If Merida insists on marrying her, although Gray will not agree, he cannot deal with her like he does with those enemies, so it is best for her to choose to leave.
However, the day after the Marquis Rao's birthday was, Gray decided to invite all the nobles to congratulate her, and hoped that Merida would stay more.
A few days later, the palace held a grand banquet, and at the same time, it was also a grand social gathering. Most of the nobles in the kingdom gathered here, and it was also an excellent opportunity for the noble sisters and young men to choose a partner.
There is nothing wrong with this, the banquet is originally used for celebration and socializing.
The banquet process was also very smooth. After rejecting the invitations from a large number of noble sisters, Gray felt a little tired. Fortunately, Merida came to rescue the scene, and the two danced with everyone in the hall.
Suddenly, Gray's face changed slightly and he looked outside in confusion.
It's already night now, and it's dark outside, but he clearly remembers that it's a great atmosphere. The moon is hanging high outside, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth, and the night is as white as it's.
But now, it was pitch black outside, and there seemed to be a strong wind, and Gray noticed a trace of unusual aura.
"boom!"
A flash of lightning exploded in the sky in the distance, and the pale light made the ground white for a moment, and then quickly fell into darkness.
But at this moment, the candlelight in the hall began to sway, the entire hall became dim, and an uninvited guest appeared at the door.
In the flashing candlelight, the uninvited guest looked a little hideous and terrifying. She lay on the ground and curled up, as if she was paying tribute to the people in the hall, and seemed to be just exhausted and had to be on the ground. She was more like a beast pretending to be weak and setting traps for her prey to take the life of her prey at any time.
Everyone in the hall retreated one after another, and they were all frightened by the strange person.
However, there were also several people who quickly stood in front, although they did not have weapons.
Grey let go of Merida and strode forward, "Madam, why did you break into my castle?"
Woman? Everyone was stunned when they heard Gray's voice. The other party was wrapped so tightly, and his face was not exposed as much as his figure. How did you tell that the other party was a lady?
Gray said this is a kind of gift, and unless the other party has undergone surgery, he will never admit his mistake.
If the other party had had surgery, Gray planned to throw her into the sea to feed the fish later. His kingdom did not need such a person to exist.
"Great Lord, there are wind and rain outside. I hope you can take me, the poor old woman, and provide some hot soup and food. In return, I am willing to give you this rose." The old woman raised her head, revealed her wrinkled face, took out a beautiful rose and handed it to Gray.
Fortunately, I didn't agree to it.
Gray looked at the rose in the old woman's hand, and did not reach out to pick it up, nor did he say anything, but looked at her with surprise.
"Why, do you want to refuse a poor old woman's request?" the old woman said hoarsely.
"That's not, I just have a few questions to ask you before agreeing to your request. I think you should understand that I am alert to a stranger who suddenly arrives." Grey said lightly.
The old woman continued to say in a hoarse voice: "What kind of threat can an old woman like me bring to you? You are a great dragon-slaying warrior."
"Your is right, I am the greatest dragon-slaying warrior." Gray put his hands on his hips and said angrily, smiling like a flower.
However, before the old woman could smile, Gray suddenly turned cold and said heavily: "But can you explain how you came to the palace through the cordon of my palace guard?"
Gray, everyone immediately reacted.
Yes, this is the palace, and because of the current banquet, the guards around the palace have increased significantly. How could such an obvious and suspicious person come to the gate?
After understanding this, everyone retreated without a trace. No matter what they came, there was His Majesty the King and the Dragon Slaying Warriors that everyone trusted, and it would be fine for everyone to hide behind.
"My eyes were blurred and I couldn't see the road clearly. When I saw the brightest here, I walked here in a daze." The old woman returned.
Obviously, this is a convincing answer, and it does not explain why the soldiers did not find her. You are dizzy, but those soldiers are not blind. It is impossible to see you walking inside without stopping you.
But Gray seemed to believe it and immediately asked the second question, "You just called me the noble lord, not your majesty. You know you are not my national, so where did you come from?"
Gray smiled, "As far as I know, it takes a long time for the nearest island to come here around the Stone Fortland. How did you, an old woman, come here?"
"Lord, since your eyes can be placed overseas, why not turn your eyes to the forest?" the old woman asked.
"You mean, there is a kingdom deep in the forest, where are you coming from?"
"The evil dragon will not build a castle by itself." The old woman said without a head and tail.
However, since he mentioned Dragon and Castle, Grey naturally thought of the dragon he killed before and the castle he lived in.
Building a castle is a huge project. It is good to have a dragon that is powerful, but it is simply a fantasy to build a castle by itself by relying on the dragon to build it.
"So, is this castle you left behind before?"
"Yes, we went deep into the forest because of the evil dragon. If I was not wrong, the dragon you killed should be its descendant." The old woman looked directly at Gray, and he could seem to see a trace of mockery from it.
It's like: What you killed is just a dragon that has not grown up yet. It's a praising that you're so funny.
That's probably what it means.
"Okay, next is the last question." Gray nodded, not caring about her eyes at all. No matter how Jackie Chan is, he is the Dragon Slayer Warrior now.
"From the city gate to the palace, there are at least hundreds of houses passing by. Why don't you ask them for help and insist on breaking into the palace? Don't you know that this may make you be regarded as an assassin and lose your life before you enter the palace?
Oh, no, my soldiers are all blind, they can't see you, so just answer why you don't go to another house to spend a stay."
"My eyes can't see clearly, I just followed the brightest light source." The old woman said vaguely.
"Are you a moth? You are so temporal. You have to find the brightest light. Why don't you fly to the sun when you are white?" Gray said without hesitation. He has almost finished playing, so he should have a picture of it.
"Moth?" the old woman repeated in confusion.
"It's just the kind of flapping bug. The wings are full of disgusting ashes, and the belly is also disgusting and fat, just like you." Gray explained seriously.
"You..." the old woman raised her head suddenly and glared at Gray, "How dare she be so rude?"
