The bald man glanced at everyone and was slightly surprised to see that the leader was actually a young man. He is a tyrant in the eastern area of the dock, and the younger brother of the mistress of the general's housekeeper, who has always been rampant and domineering in the dock area, and he doesn't even pay attention to the garrison in the dock area.

"Strip naked and get out of the warehouse, or I'll give you a taste of the power of the 'Blood Stick'!" the bald man waved the iron rod in his hand fiercely.

A squadron leader of the garrison came out and shouted: "The garrison captures the assassins, leave immediately, otherwise I will arrest you on charges of treason!"

"Miscellaneous!" The bald man suddenly raised his iron rod and smashed it directly at the squadron leader, who hurriedly raised his sword to resist.

With a bang, the squadron leader, who was a swordsman, was beaten back again and again by a bald strong man with strange strength.

"The eastern part of the dock is my territory! No one can arrest anyone without my permission! The garrison is shit! The Earl must bow his head and speak in front of my brother-in-law!" the bald man laughed.

Lear turned his head and asked his subordinates behind him, "I have to look down to see that his brother-in-law is a legendary dwarf?"

"Your Excellency, you are so wise. Watson couldn't help but laugh along with the others.

"What are you talking about!" the bald man was furious, swinging his stick at Lear.

Hal sneered disdainfully, standing in front of Lear, holding the iron rod with one hand. The bald man blushed, and he couldn't enter or retreat.

Hal laughed, and the fighting spirit in his hand gushed out, and the tip of the iron rod was crumpled into pieces.

The bald man was shocked, retreated again and again, and said inwardly: "Don't think that you are great if you have a swordsman! My brother-in-law is the housekeeper of the General's Mansion! Messing with me is tantamount to messing with the General." Let me tell you that my brother-in-law has received the news and is coming! ”

Lear didn't believe that this kind of gangster had anything to do with the general's butler, and asked with a smile: "Watson, what crime should civilians be sentenced for insulting the lord?"

Watson hurriedly said: "The commoners insult the nobles, whip a hundred lashes in one sentence, insult the lord, and hang them." ”

Lear said in a very relaxed tone, saying, "In this case, in my capacity as the Lord of Port Lear, Earl Lear, I order to break this man's legs and let him know that both Port Lear and the East District of the Docks are my territory!"

Hal struck quickly, only to hear two cracking sounds, and he returned to his place, while the bald man fell to the ground screaming, clutching his broken knees.

Lear's words were loud, but everyone behind the bald man could hear them clearly. Only a third of these people were bald thugs or gang members, and the remaining more than two hundred were dock workers.

A dock worker who was relatively late suddenly shouted, "He's the Earl of the Child...... No, it's the great new lord, I saw him on the execution ground, it really was him! The man behind him was also on the execution ground that day. The sword god is on top, I'm done......" The man shouted, and he turned around and ran away in fright.

The other dockers were already frightened by Hal, and when they saw that someone recognized the other party as Count Lear, they scattered in a hurry.

The bald man wailed and shouted: "Don't believe their nonsense, call me, they are liars!"

"Earl the Child" is Lear's nickname in Port Lear, and when they see that the leader opposite them is a child with extraordinary temperament, they half believe it, and by the time the dock workers run out, they have long lost their courage and the murder weapon in their hands crackles and falls to the ground.

Several gang leaders and their men turned and ran, only the bald thugs stood in place, bewildered.

Lear looked down at the bald man rolling on the ground and said, "I'm going to look down at you now." Tell me, did you bring these men to Port Lear?" said Lear, pointing to the captive.

The bald man scolded: "Dog, mother-raised, even if you are a real earl, you will die! Port Lear belongs to the general, not to your child, the earl! My brother-in-law will definitely let you know what regret is...... Ahh......hhh It hurts me to death, I'm going to break your legs, you useless kid Count ......"

Lear's face sank, and he said, "How dare you slander the general!" ”

Hal immediately picked up the wrist-thick iron rod and slammed it into the bald man's mouth. The iron rod was already spiked, and Hal used it so hard and hard that the bald man's mouth was immediately broken, and his head shattered with a thud, forming a bloody patch.

"Hal, you were so careless. Lear said indifferently.

"I'll pay attention next time, my lord. "Howl's attack is very measured - a bully who provokes relations between the general and the count, and killing is the best way.

"Arnold, Arnold, what's wrong with you!" saw an old man in a gorgeous costume rush over, looking at the body of the bald man and shouting in grief.

He looked up at Lear and said angrily, "You butcher count! You have killed so many nobles when you first took office, you are simply insulting the Lear family! Whatever the reason, you killed Arnold, I must have the general punish you butcher! My poor Arnold!"

Lear recognized this butler, a lord, who had followed the general for many years. According to the report of the Hidden Knight, the reputation is very bad, no one dares to mess with him in Port Lear, and someone has given him the nickname "Count Butler" behind his back.

Watson whispered, "My lord, please bear with me once, this butler is a close confidant of the general. ”

Lear gave him a disappointed look and shook his head, thinking that a subordinate is a subordinate, and if he does not stand in the Earl's position, he will always only see a little in front of him.

In other words, he had the same thoughts as Watson and would not provoke this general butler, but now he looked at things from the lord's point of view, and everything was different.

The general is the general, not the lord, and Lear is the master of Port Lear. Lear knew this, and the general couldn't possibly not know.

Lear pointed to the captive and said with a blank face, "This man intends to murder me and my guests, and I suspect that this man is their accomplice!"

The general's butler was already rampant in Port Lear, and when he saw his younger brother, who gave him a large sum of gold carats every year, die in front of him, he lost control of his emotions and rushed to Lear's side and shouted: "I arranged for them to enter Port Lear! I took them 10,000 gold carats! What can you do to me! A little white face who can only sit in this position by relying on the general is not as good as the illegitimate son of the old lord!"

Everyone changed color in unison.

Lear looked at him quietly, and suddenly smiled: "There are bandits disguised as the general's butler, intending to assassinate me, come here, arrest me, and beat my mouth to pieces!"

However, no one got their hands dirty.

The housekeeper jumped three feet, and even the previous lord treated him politely when he saw him, as a person of equal status, this kid dared to treat himself like this. He was furious, pointed at Lear's nose and scolded: "I am the general's butler, no one dares to beat me! I will go and tell the general, let the general abolish you, the earl, and let the old lord's ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Catherine struck out and slapped him hard, and the butler stumbled backwards, and finally sat down on the ground, spitting up, bleeding, and seven teeth.

"Keep fighting!" Before the butler could speak, Lear snapped.

This time, not only Catherine made a move, but Hal also rushed forward and slapped it, knocking out all the remaining teeth of the butler. Catherine slapped her again, and the butler didn't dare to be reckless any longer, and lay on the ground crying and humming.

"The swordsman who didn't do it just now, go to the garrison to retire!" Lear's voice was still not loud, but some people felt a rumbling thunder ringing in their ears.

Including the squadron leader of the garrison, the squadron leader of the garrison, the chief and deputy squadron leader of the private team, five junior swordsman family knights, and one intermediate swordsman family knight, there are a total of ten swordsmen behind Lear.

Nine of them were dying, but one of the youngest junior swordsmen suddenly fell to his knees, his sword in his right hand, and said in a loud voice, "It is my sin that my lord has been humiliated and I have failed to defend it. Please Lord Lear give me a chance to wash my sins. ”

Lear turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"Alexander!"

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

"Yes. However, the lord of Port Lear is the Count of Lear, and in Port Lear, you are the supreme lord, and no one can disobey your orders. ”

"Okay, come to me after dinner, help me do something, and when you succeed, you can choose any position you can do. ”

"Thank you, sir!" said Alexander.

The other nine swordsmen immediately knelt down and begged Lear to forgive them.

"It's late. I'll go back today to deal with the business at hand, and then report to the patrol office of the garrison. The salary remains the same. You can go, but if you leave Lear's territory, you are no longer from Lear!" Lear said as he walked, "and the others will follow me to the General, and let the General meet this bandit disguised as a butler." ”

Hal picked up the butler like a dead dog and followed Lear towards the general's house, while the nine swordsmen departed in disgrace.

Lear walked slowly, what was supposed to be only fifteen minutes away, he walked for half an hour.

The main entrance to the general's house was wide open, and the guards at the door looked at Lear and the butler who was being carried by Hal with complicated expressions, and respectfully invited everyone in.

The group walked into the courtyard and into the hall.

The general was drinking tea at the throne, and he looked like an old man in his last years, living his last days without anything special. But everyone here knows how much power is contained in this lean body.

Hal threw down the butler and said, "Teacher, the disciple has discovered that someone has pretended to be your butler and colluded with bandits to enter the city to assassinate Lord Lear and his friends. ”

When the poor butler saw the general, his whole body was full of strength, and he crawled to the general's feet, hugged the general's calf and whined in pain, and cried while saying words that needed to be carefully recognized to understand: "General, General, Count Lear simply doesn't take you seriously, he not only beat me, but also ......"

The general glanced at him, and the coldness in his eyes frightened him to shut up immediately, and he couldn't say a word, and his whole body trembled.

"Little Jack, go back to your hometown. You've earned enough over the years. The general continued to drink tea.

"General, general, I've been with you for more than forty years, let's ......"

The general looked down at him again, did not speak, and then looked up and continued to drink tea.

The butler was cold, and finally gave up, lying on the ground and crying, and was dragged away by the general's subordinates.

Half an hour is enough time for the general to know everything.

The general glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on Lear, and said with a smile, "I heard that you did a good job saving Odrena of the Hohenzollern family. Come, sit down and have tea. ”

Lear sat down unceremoniously and drank the tea that the general had made himself.

The fragrance of tea surrounds the beams, and the room is silent.

After Lear finished drinking his tea, he said, "General, I came this time to ask you a question, how can I become stronger!"

"Stronger, okay, let me ask you first, who can tell the strong the meaning of existence?" the general laughed, and he looked at the others again, "You can talk about it too." ”

Lear didn't speak, he was considering the general's intentions.

Hal first replied confidently: "I think that the meaning of the existence of the strong is to declare to the world that the sword is supreme, and I am the strongest!"

Hua Sen was bold and said: "General, I think the meaning of the existence of the strong is to protect their own territory, and if the strong are not fiefdom nobles, then they should protect their lords. ”

The general looked at Catherine. Say, "Catherine, tell me." ”

Catherine was startled and said in a panic: "I, I think that the strong should soar in the sky like an eagle, and should not be bound by the world. After saying that, she subconsciously looked at Lear.

"So, what about my esteemed lord?" the general looked at Lear with a smile.

Lear gritted his teeth and said, "The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

The general said dissatisfiedly: "Lied!"

Lear laughed embarrassedly, "You can see this?"

The general leaned on the back of his chair and said leisurely: "Whoever taught you this sentence, you can beat him, beat him hard." If you do it, it will poison you for the rest of your life. Is it among the knights? This kind of stupid statement is liked by some people because it can't exist at all! No one takes the initiative to take responsibility while aspiring to be capable. The stronger the ability, the greater the **! Those who pin their hopes on the strong and try to make the strong responsible will never be able to become stronger!"

Lear half-jokingly said, "General, you're teaching us bad." ”

The general put down his teacup and said, "No, I'm giving you advice. You are walking on a single-plank bridge, and if there is a monster in front of you, do you have to jump into the river? Backwards is also an option. Just teaching you not to do stupid things doesn't mean that you do bad things. ”

Lear asked sincerely, "Then can you tell me the meaning of the existence of the strong?"

The general said calmly: "The meaning of the existence of the strong is to make one's life happier. ”

Lear's heartstrings twitched, vaguely aware of something.

The general looked ahead, his gaze through the courtyard into the sky, and sighed, "Only those who are blinded think that I am the one who keeps the Lear family standing, but in fact, I am nothing more than a vine attached to the big tree of the Lear family." You have done well, better than your grandfather and your uncle! you have seen farther than them, farther than my housekeeper, and have not let me down. ”

"Becoming strong is never a difficult problem, it only takes one choice!"

As he spoke, the general raised his hands, palms upward, and the water fighting qi quickly gushed out, and finally two items condensed by the fighting qi appeared.

He held the earl's crown in his left hand and the sword in his right.

Lear stood up, looked at the crown and the sword, and for a long time, bowed to the general, and strode away.
