Chapter 489: Chapter 408 Griffin Territory_3

In half a day, he could earn a large sum of money, but his uncle did not seem to like his method of trading, believing it should be called fraud.

It was another banquet, and Hatton watched the Griffin Soldiers standing neatly on both sides, wearing beautiful armor and holding ceremonial Longswords.

And when the giant beast coiled in the courtyard raised its head, Hatton’s heart pounded wildly.

Dragon!

"They say that the Lord is here for the banquet," his uncle said excitedly.

Merchants had better information, as if they knew it was the Duke of Lions who had forcefully demanded that Griffin Territory open its trade routes to the north. Now, everyone could enjoy better lives, all thanks to him.

As for matters of war, not having seen them firsthand, but according to the legends heard from others, they were no different from mythical stories, so many secretly called the Duke the God of the Present World.

Hatton nodded. In Rand Kingdom, no one could escape stories related to Lind. Children loved to role play, men admired, and women adored him. In short, he appeared like a legend in different parts of the country, only Hatton felt slightly uneasy when he heard Lind’s name.

They entered the banquet and found the old Duke of Griffin Fortress, Igor Griffin, also present.

Beside the main table, a handsome blond man clad in gold, black, and dark red, wearing a fine Lion Badge, was laughing and chatting with the old Duke.

"So tall!"

Hatton exclaimed.

The old Duke was half a head shorter in front of him; he was not beyond human limits, but a height not seen in normal life.

Miss Tao Lexi was even shorter.

But her presence seemed even stronger, hands on hips arguing with Lind, who blatantly ignored her.

Feeling Hatton’s gaze, the Duke of Lions turned his head, swept his gaze over him, nodded slightly with a smile, and Hatton’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly bowed his head in a respectful manner and dared not look again.

"Impossible, your so-called ’Magic Defense Tower,’ forget about building it at Griffin Fortress. You can build outside; I can give you a piece of land."

Tao Lexi was very dissatisfied with Lind. Previously, she had taken William to the Great Rift battlefield, and even if William died there, no one would say anything. But after the war, Lind had even tried to entice William away to an unheard-of world.

Moreover, Lind wanted to set up magical coordinates here to open a portal.

Being able to open a portal at any time seemed to Tao Lexi more like a way for Lind to bring in armies at will.

"What do you think, Igor?" Lind looked to the old Duke.

He did not have much interaction with the old man before him; the age difference was just too vast, and he suspected the old man might be suffering from Alzheimer’s. Whenever he and Tao Lexi talked, the old Duke always seemed to be idly spacing out.

The old Duke had always been quite friendly towards Lind, though he mistook him for a Baron, probably someone he had eyed at a dance with Tao Lexi.

"When is your wedding, Lind?"

"Father, his name is Lind!" Tao Lexi had to correct.

"Of course, our wedding will definitely take place," Lind said, not giving Tao Lexi a chance to refuse. He was a person who respected the old and loved the young.

"I’m a bit tired," said Igor, the old Duke, squinting his eyes and yawning.

A servant came and helped him to retire and rest.

Lind watched Igor leave, then turned around and saw a glasses-wearing Tao Lexi staring angrily at him: "You shouldn’t deceive a confused old man."

"My upbringing taught me to indulge the elderly a little. He’s so senile he can’t recognize you, but still remembers your fiancé... uh, dance partner? So, I don’t mind sacrificing a little to play along and keep him happy."

It was clear to anyone that Igor didn’t have much longer to live.

He was really just responding to an old man in confusion. In cases like Igor’s, even if he clarified that he was not Lind but Lind, what was the point? Either Igor would forget immediately, or he would continue to worry about Tao Lexi’s marriage prospects.

Hearing Lind’s explanation, Tao Lexi suddenly sighed deeply.

"Li Qi is a very..." Tao Lexi suddenly stared into the distance, her glasses reflecting the sunlight, her tone elongating.

"Stop!"

Lind quickly interrupted.

Seeing the confused Tao Lexi, he breathed a sigh of relief. That was close; he nearly increased her affection for him.

He knew this routine all too well. Next, Tao Lexi would surely start talking about her fiancé’s story, and then, well, then ah, then bam, lastly, pulling up pants.

"It’s best we don’t share emotions."

Lind preferred to share emotions with males.

William, Crimson Knight, Lance, Baron Red Mushroom, Marcus, and so on. Men, once emotional bonds and trust were established, rarely betrayed, even offering their lives.

But female characters were quite different. Their emotional fluctuations were large, affection grew quickly but dropped just as fast, and they were not worth pursuing.

Of course, there was another reason. Although Tao Lexi looked very pretty, when she took off her glasses to become wild-eyed, Lind still felt awkward mentally; back then, he was scared off by those eyes.

Tao Lexi remained confused, not understanding what Lind meant. She just wanted to sigh about the cruelty of war. The otherwise nice man, Li Qi, had died in the first year when the Ring of Magic broke, but Lind ruthlessly interrupted.

"Well, if you really want to talk about it," Lind resignedly made a face as if he had no choice but to listen.

As the two bickered on one side, merchants on the other side were bowing their heads, wishing they were deaf and couldn’t hear anything.

"I won’t talk about it!" Tao Lexi decided, certain that she and Lind could never coexist.

It was only after the banquet and returning to her room that Tao Lexi finally realized what Lind meant.

Furious, she could only clench her teeth and vent her anger on a little cat, who, being stroked, was thoroughly puzzled.

Then it rolled over.

Want to pet the cat, right? Come on, scratch underneath too.
