Chapter 924: A Small Town Story, Many II.
The castle of the Zaka Vinez family is located in the center of the city of Minrofadel, built on the top of a mound, according to history, it should have been built at the end of the first open era to around the second open era, it is considered an ancient castle, the Zaka Vinez family has been the great lord of the Ming Rofader region since the end of the Gray Age (the first open era) and the restoration of the kingdom from the Green Forest Kingdom, when the ancestor of the Zaka Vinez family obtained this territory as a paladin, the first three generations were barbarians who ate with their fists.
And now, the Zakha Vinz family is a famous spell caster family, telling everyone with iron-like facts, what is the magic of the Middle Ages 'poor martial arts and rich literature' - people only need to remember that their heads are hard when they are poor, and when the family expands, the members of Zakha Vinz gradually gain the blood and power to become Dharma masters through intermarriage and the power of money.
So, it wasn't the kind of strong man with a neck thicker than a kitten's waist who showed up at the gate to greet them, but a half-elf who looked quite eye-catching.
"Welcome to the castle of Zaka Vinz, Lord Marceau, it is a pleasure for you and your female companions to be here. ”
"Thank you for having me, Lord Mostar. The kitten nodded, and the one in front of him looked like it could fall when the wind blew, which was really pitiful.
Because it was a private dinner, in addition to Marceau's team, there were only some members of the Zaka Vinz family, and of course, including the officials of the city, Mosta took Marceau and the others into the hall, first introduced the identities of the officials, and then began to introduce the family members standing on the other side.
"Most of the members of the family have been invited to the royal capital for the Liberation Festival, and as lords, my family and I must stay behind, so only these few are able to meet you. The half-elf came to an old elf dressed plainly, but tall and kind-looking: "My mother, she is very old. ”
"Welcome to the castle of Zakha Vinz, strangers, I am Yoshye Zaka Vinz, Lord Marceau, I met your ancestors when I first came to the Tempora. The old lady smiled at Marceau.
The cat cub could only smile and nod in salute - this old lady had obviously seen her grandmother or grandfather, so to speak, this one is definitely very old, and at least a legend, after all, the elves of the Ayarok plane can't live for a thousand years, and only by becoming a legend can they sublimate their lives and get better physical fitness and longevity.
"This is my wife, sorry, she's a little older. The half-elf came to an old woman and introduced Marceau.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Marceau. "This old woman looks older than the mother of the first one, that is, Mosta, but considering her human appearance, and considering the terrible living conditions in this world, it is not easy to live so old, and she looks ...... More like an ordinary person.
This made Marceau have some curiosity about the Lord of Mosta in front of him - if I am not mistaken, this half-elf is at least a half-step legendary caster, but it is definitely not a legend, this is normal, if it is really a legend, how can he be bound by the lord's 'work' that is destined to waste too much energy on it.
"Hello, ma'am. Marceau nodded, and he reached out to take the old lady's hand and put it on his forehead: "Your eyes are full of love. ”
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency. The old lady smiled very happily.
"My third son. Mostar pointed to the child in front of him, and explained very intimately: "The eldest son, Walf, served in the mountain fortress, the second son served in the Kingdom Guard, and the third son was young, I can't bear to let this child follow the family to the royal capital, it is not a simple trip, and if there is no parental care, this naughty little guy does not know what trouble will happen." ”
"Hello, Your Excellency, I have heard of your and your wives' exploits, and it is so disadvantageous. "This little guy is only eleven or twelve years old, and he hasn't even entered the voice change period, but his 'you and your wife' are very useful to the kittens and girls, really, the world needs such a skilled and professional 'blind eye', it seems that his father doesn't really know his three sons.
"This is the second daughter. The half-elf smiled and introduced the girl in front of him, and his pride smiled and saluted, "Hello, Your Excellency, I am Shaman. ”
"Hello. Marceau also used etiquette to show that the reason for not having an eldest daughter was very simple, because the intelligence said that Mostar's eldest daughter died in an accident seven years ago - death is really the fairest existence in the world.
And if Lord Modas hadn't spoken, no one would be stupid enough to ask the whereabouts of the eldest daughter.
The Zaka Vinez family is a very wealthy family, so the food at the banquet is very good, and there is no outburst of expensive or anything else, Zaka Vinenz's cooks seem to be better at watching people put off the plate, and the two old ladies are very talkative, the girls are very satisfied with the praise of the third son, as for the second daughter, Marceau really didn't see that this girl is not a professional, but her knowledge of theology is very ...... Huge, which allowed her to have a good conversation with a few priest girls.
The confirmation that Mosta's wife was a mortal made Marceau very curious, as he could see that the second daughter had the talent to become a priest, and the third son looked more like a warlock...... It doesn't look like the old lady is out of it.
It's an interesting secret, but curiosity is always the enemy of the kittens, and out of responsibility for their own safety and the girls' safety, the kittens don't want to talk too much about themselves, and it doesn't matter who the lord's wife is and who it is.
The important thing is that the food is not poisoned, it is delicious, and the Lord of Mosda has made a very interesting request: "This is a letter, I have heard that Your Excellency Marceau has successfully delivered a letter to the old Majesty of Ashupi during his previous travels, so I take the liberty of asking you to help me deliver this letter to His Majesty in the royal capital." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have a direct channel to that majesty. Marceau didn't immediately reach out and asked such a question.
It's not that the girls came up with the idea behind the scenes, but Marceau feels that such a task should not appear on this regional lord - as a big lord, the royal family of the green forest should have a channel and platform to contact him directly, an earl of a large family, a lord of a large territory, and the patriarch of the loyal Zakhaveinz family, if he says that he has no way to contact his own king, then I am afraid that the kittens and girls present must wonder if this is a fake.
"If it were someone else, I would not tell the truth, but you are the beloved messenger of the good gods, Lord Marceau, so I have to tell the truth...... The channel is no longer secure. The half-elf smiled bitterly: "My clan informed the route to the kingdom through channels, and as a result, it was attacked several times...... Not only my family, but many of the clans' pilgrimage teams have been attacked, and two small clans have been nearly wiped out because of this. ”
Ah, this cat cub knows that almost extinction is equivalent to the death of parents and cubs in middle age...... This is not a happy event.
"So, do you mean I'm just sending this letter over? Marceau stretched out his hand, and since he had said so, he would be a little too much to say if he didn't reach out to help him.
"Yes, after all, there is so much involved in this matter, I don't know, and I don't want you and your companions to be involved in this kind of struggle, after all, this is different from what you have encountered before...... I don't think your previous experience can help you. The half-elf smiled a little awkwardly when he said this: "I'm sorry, but I still let you get involved." ”
"You don't have to worry about that, at least we're not the kind of people who can watch things go down with peace of mind. Marceau nodded, this thinking cat cub naturally understood that the so-called "I don't think your previous experience can help you" means that the battle with chaos and the undead, and the fight with the living nobles is not the same, although the result is life and death.
But he must not know that there is another proverb among players that has endured.
Violence doesn't solve the problem, but it can solve the person who created it.
