Chapter 277 Marriage and Suppression of Bandits (ask for monthly ticket, recommended ticket)

"Great-grandfather, is there more fun in Dark Eagle City? Is it more beautiful than Twilight City?" A childish voice came from behind Earl Nero, and a little girl stood up, stepped on the broad horseback, and held her hands together. Looking at Earl Nero's shoulder, his eyes scanned the front, but he couldn't see anything, so he said angrily: "Great-grandfather, you are lying, you are almost there, there is obviously nothing in front of you!"

Earl Nilo smiled when he heard the words, his face was amiable, and he turned his head to meet the big watery eyes and fair little face of his great-granddaughter. Seeing the slightly swollen cheeks, he said gently: "Gianna, I I didn’t lie to you, I will definitely be able to reach Dark Eagle City today.”

  Gianna has short blond hair and a few beautiful hairpins like little swans. She is innocent and cute. She turned her face slightly and said suspiciously: "Really?"

   "Of course, if I lied, you can make any request, and I will try my best to satisfy you!" Earl Nero smiled kindly, and gently stroked the blond hair on Jaina's side face.

"Wow, great-grandfather is amazing!" Jaina jumped on the horse and cheered loudly, "Hey, I want to see the orc circus! I have seen a lot of descriptions of circuses in story books, it is so wonderful, but one more time I haven't seen it either, didn't you say that there are orcs in Dark Eagle City? Take me to see it!"

Nilo supported Jaina's waist to prevent it from falling, but when he heard this request, he had a look of helplessness on his face, and said, "I'm afraid I can't guarantee to fulfill this request. After all, it's not Twilight City, so how can everything go smoothly?" Your wish, the orcs there do not belong to us, how could they be willing to obediently perform acrobatics for you."

"Ah?" Jaina said with a long tail, her small face drooped, and she grabbed a piece of light armor on Nile's shoulders, and said, "Then what should I do, how can I see the orc performance, great-grandfather, you must have a way to deal with it." wrong."

  Count Nilo shook his head and sighed, raised his head after a while, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe, there is indeed a way... but the hope may have to be pinned on you."

   "What do you mean?" Jaina tilted her head, her small face was confused, and she didn't understand.

  Count Nilo fell silent suddenly, and turned his face with a smile to the front. The smile slowly disappeared, and he regained his calm.

  His voice floated back: "The first requirement is that you keep quiet and don't jump around. Just like your third grandma, Qiao Liya, be quiet."

  Four hours later, Earl Nero led the team to Dark Eagle City, followed the road signs, and soon arrived at Green Manor.

At the gate of the Green Manor, Sveta was taking a leisurely walk, but he did not expect to meet the visit of Earl Nilo. The latter dismounted enthusiastically almost as soon as they met. Overwhelmed with enthusiasm, he quickly walked forward and said:

   "Steward Sveta, long time no see, your complexion is as good as ever, and you are still so energetic."

  Sveta, who was a little sleepless, put down the small red kettle for watering, and responded politely: "So it's Earl Nero. It's been a long time. Are you going to visit the master today?"

"That's right, I do have something to discuss with the Marquis of Leiter." Earl Nilo's smile remained unchanged, pointing to the carriage behind him, and said: "This is a gift from me to the Marquis of Leiter on behalf of the Blaine family, please trouble Swi The tower steward will help inform Marquis Leiter."

"a piece of cake."

  Facing Earl Nero's warm welcome, his polite words, and the boxes of gifts in the back compartment, Sveta was filled with emotion.

   Once upon a time, his master was just a small baron nobleman, and Earl Nero was an absolute big man to the Green family. Even the master once faced him with respect. But Feng Shui takes turns, and today, everything is reversed. As the butler of the Green Manor, he feels deeply about this.

When he came back to his senses, he showed the attitude that a marquis butler should have, smiled faintly, but without losing his etiquette, he said to the knight behind him: "Kats, go to the training ground to find some subordinate knights, Let them transport these goods to the warehouse!"

   "Understood, Steward Sveta!" After saying that, the knight rushed towards the training ground.

   "Count Nero, come with me first, the master is in the castle, I'll go up and report right away." Sveta turned around after speaking, and walked towards Dark Rock Castle at a faster pace.

   "Thank you!"

When Earl Nero followed, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps around him. Sveta turned his head and frowned slightly: "It's best not to walk around in Green Manor with so many people, especially the back garden is forbidden to enter, but in these two empty areas On the lawn, you can move around at will." While speaking, he pointed to the open lawn on both sides of the flagstone path.

   "These are the most basic rules, I know it very well!" Count Nero smiled, then hugged Jaina, and said: "This is my great-granddaughter, it shouldn't be a problem to accompany me into Darkrock Castle, right?"

   "It's okay, please come with me."

   Jaina, who was held in Nilo's arms, looked around. Although she didn't make a sound, her bright eyes were full of curiosity about this strange place.

  The two entered Dark Rock Castle, Sveta ordered the servants to entertain the guests, and then stepped on the stairs, preparing to go up to report. But at the corner of the third floor, he happened to see Leiter who was going downstairs. He froze for a moment, and kept his posture to tell the master about the visit of Count Nero.

   Keleite interrupted him, pushed out a hand, and said: "I saw it all, Earl Nero is below, Sveta, you don't look very well, go to rest first."

   "Master's eyes are bright, I really lost sleep last night." Sveta said, rubbing his chest.

   "Take care of your body, and let me know if you feel unwell." Leiter patted Sveta on the shoulder and went downstairs over his body.

   thump thump thump

Hearing the slight sound of going downstairs, Earl Nero stood up straight, stepped on the red blanket and walked quickly, facing the mature and steady figure, said in a higher voice: "Marquis Leiter, long time no see, The news of your promotion to the Marquis is good news for the entire southwest border. I have been waiting for your promotion banquet, and I am going to congratulate you in person. But I have waited for a long time, but I have not waited for it, but I always want to thank you for this excitement Send it, so I came today."

  Looking at Nilo who opened his arms proactively, Leiter hugged him gently, with a standard smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for the compliment, who is the little girl beside you?"

"Bonny's granddaughter is also my great-granddaughter, Gianna. You know, last time Bonny returned to the canyon defense line and was seriously injured, it has always been a blow to him. Thoughts. I have no choice but to go out this time, and I will take her out to learn more."

   "So that's how it is." Leiter walked to the dining table, and after sitting down, he waved to Earl Nilo: "Please sit down. Boni's experience is really sympathetic. I hope he can get out of the shadows soon."

   "Sigh." Nilo sighed and took a sip of tea.

Then, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while and tasted a few desserts. During this period, Jaina sat on the chair. Although she was motionless, her big eyes kept turning and she looked around. It was obvious that she had a lively and active heart. .

Rhett smiled slightly when he saw this: "Count Nero, Jaina seems to be unable to sit still, it is completely unnecessary to tie a child in a fixed position. It is better to let her go upstairs, Dick and Cazelle are all there. Playing in the room, I shouldn't mind such a cute girl joining, even... would be very welcome, what do you think?"

"That's great, I agree with Marquis Leiter's point of view!" Earl Nero looked at Jaina, patted his back, and said: "Jianna, there are other friends waiting for you upstairs, go up first, Marquis Leiter and I have other things to discuss."

   "Understood." Jaina will obediently responded, finished the dessert on the plate, and jumped off the chair.

   "Scarlett, take her to Riley's room." Rhett said to the maid next to her.

   "Yes, my lord!" Scarlett, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, answered, and took Jaina's little hand upstairs.

  After the two left, Leiter took a sip of tea and said softly, "Count Nero, it seems that your great-granddaughter is not very happy. It's not good to force children to do things they don't want..."

   "It's nothing, it's just that Jaina has always wanted to watch the orcs perform acrobatics. How can I agree to her unreasonable request." Nilo shook his head with a smile.

  He paused for a moment, considered his words, and said, "Actually...Marquis Leiter, I came here this time because I want to talk to you about something important."

   "Oh? Please tell me if you have anything to say." Leiter looked at the other party, pretending to be surprised.

   "I think our two families can marry!" Earl Nello said seriously.

   "Marriage? Are you kidding?" Leiter suddenly raised his voice, and looked at Nilo with a strange look on his face.

Earl Nilo also said sincerely: "Yes, that's it. Now, as a Marquis, you are the strongest force on the land on the southwest border, and our Bryan family has been operating here for a long time. If we To be able to get married and join forces, whether it is for us or for the land on the southwestern border, it is a thing of infinite benefit."

   "Whether it is the combination of capital, or the complementarity of intelligence, force, etc., it is beneficial and harmless to us."

  Hearing this, the surprise in Leiter's eyes deepened, he touched his chin, and said in a deep thought: "Well... it sounds like a good choice, but I want to ask, have you and the Jin En family united like this in the past?"

"Of course not." Earl Nilo shook his head: "The Marquis of Leiter should have heard about the fact that the other party planted spies in our family a few years ago. This is doomed to have an indelible gap between us. Moreover, this is not the point , the more important thing is that our two families are at the same level, there is competition in many aspects, fighting openly and secretly, and the so-called alliance is at most superficial.

  After all, our two sides are equal in strength. In essence, neither of us obeys the other, but we are also worried about whether the other is hiding a conspiracy behind the scenes. It is difficult to truly integrate together. It would be nice to be able to coexist peacefully without interfering with each other. "

"But you are different, Marquis Leiter, you are the pearl of this barren land on the southwestern border, and you are destined to make this land that is neglected by many people in the kingdom shine." With some light on, the tone contained a hint of eagerness: "You have infinite potential and strength enough. In the face of your absolute power, you can suppress some conspiracies and tricks. Your military guarantee is the basis of real peace, so that everyone will obey you. Your scheduling, closer together."

  Rett looked straight at the other party, paused for a moment, took a deep look at the other party, and said, "Count Nero's vision is really extraordinary."

   "Your light is too dazzling, as long as you are not blind, you can see it." Earl Nero said modestly.

"Haha, well, there is no problem with the joint matter. You can discuss it slowly in the future and leave it to the people below to discuss how to cooperate." Leiter said with a smile: "But for the marriage, I should have stated it before. My The three sons are all married, so it is difficult to agree."

"No, no, Marquis Leiter misunderstood. I came here this time to discuss a marriage for Jaina." Earl Nilo waved his hand quickly and said, "I knew in advance that Master Tucker has an eldest son. Being about the same age as Gianna, I felt like they would be a good fit."

   "Dick and Jaina? Well, I want to ask Tucker for advice on this matter." After hearing this, Rhett thought for a moment and gave an answer.

   "No problem!" Earl Nero looked a little happy when he heard it. The other party didn't directly reject it, which means there is something going on, and the success rate is quite high. After all, the head of the family has the right to make decisions about everything, and if he doesn't show his attitude of refusing, then the marriage is likely to be stable.

The two continued to chat for a few more words, and after a while, the dusty Thales walked in from the gate. He had heard about the visit of Count Nero when he was in the manor, and also saw the strange knight outside, so he After entering, he greeted politely: "Count Nero, long time no see!"

   "Long time no see." Earl Nero was also quite enthusiastic, standing up and hugging Thales.

   "Thales, it looks like you've returned in triumph. How was your trip to suppress the bandits?"

Leiter said with a smile, more than a week ago, he received news that bandits killed, looted and massacred on the southwest border, and many villages and civilians suffered. Although it did not happen in his territory, now as the Marquis of the southwest border, He had to sit back and watch, so he sent the white hat to take Thales to suppress the bandits.

   To be honest, it’s a bit overkill, but in order to make it easier for Thales to harvest fate points, I still think it’s safer to send the white hat, the sixth-level magister.

"Bandit suppression?" Earl Nero was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little surprised: "Could it be that group of bandits with fourth-level land knights? I met some victims on the way here, and I heard about that group, and they did all kinds of evil. , Burning, killing and looting, men, women and children will not be spared."

   "That's right, it's them. There are more than 20 bandits in total. The leader is indeed a fourth-level earth knight, and they have all been executed!"
