Humphrey can be the undersecretary of finance, he is beyond the average in all aspects, and his ability to read words and emotions is also first-class, he has observed Lear from the beginning, and if Lear really has any problems, he can judge with his rich experience - the supreme sword god cannot make a perfect lie, even if the lie is 99% true.

From Lear's initial crying to his current resentment, there are some coincidences, but under Humphrey's scrutiny, it becomes ironclad evidence that he is not lying.

"I believe you, you're really Lear!" Humphrey smiled sincerely, "Say, since you've come to me, you must have your own plans." Your father always doesn't know what he says, but I think he's too you. Now that you have gone through so many hardships, not only have you learned a lot about the world, but you have even stimulated a talent for swordsmanship, as long as you inherit Count Lear, your future is limitless. ”

Lear could only smile wryly at Humphrey's appreciation: "What do I have to do?" At first, I just wanted to confirm my identity through you and old Hans, and then send me to the 'General' and his old man's house, as long as he opened his mouth, everything would be fine, but now, once I appear, I am likely to be killed by the old forces in Port Lear and the Nordting royal family, there is no way at all. ”

Humphrey nodded with satisfaction: "You know that using the general proves that you have grown up these days, indeed, don't look at the two fake Lears having fun, but it is still the general who really plays a decisive role." ”

The so-called "General" is an honorific title, originally a swordsman who accompanied the first old Earl Lear to the north and kill pirates, named Burton, and later married the old earl's distant cousin and settled in Port Lear. For more than 30 years, the general served as the highest military attache in Port Lear, the garrison officer, and served as the chief of the private army of the Earl of Lear family and the supreme commander of the knightly power, the chief knight. Although he was not a regular army of the empire and was not eligible for the rank of general, in order to win him over, Emperor Grant personally named him an "honorary major general", and he himself also had the title of "viscount".

The official title is a lifelong system, with various privileges, and the status is equivalent to a fiefdom, but without a fief, it cannot be hereditary, and if there is no actual position, you can only find another way.

The general has the Lear family as his backer, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything.

The general had a son and a daughter, the son died young, and only the daughter was married to the royal capital, and there were no other relatives. However, the general controlled the garrison of Port Lear, the knightly forces of the Lear family, and the private army for more than thirty years, and his disciples were all over Port Lear.

The General had already become a high-ranking swordsman thirty years ago, and it was rumored that he was already a great swordsman, and maybe even a high-ranking swordsman, the number one swordsman in Port Lear, and that alone could deter any swordsman.

After the death of the first Earl Lear, he became the spiritual leader of Port Lear, and even Lear's uncle, the second Earl of Lear, treated the general with great respect and always treated him like a nephew. So much so that if there were any major changes to Port Lear, Lear's uncle had to consult the general before he dared to issue an order.

However, the general himself had no desire for power, and never interfered in the affairs of the old earl or the second earl, and it was only after the death of the second earl's family that he intervened to stabilize the situation in Port Lear. When the situation stabilized, he returned to his courtyard and continued to focus on wood carving.

If the general tries to protect Lear, he will be more effective than anyone else.

Humphrey said, "Both fake Lears have approached the general, and the general has not said anything. But whatever we do in the future, we have to meet with the general. Only if the general does not oppose you, we are qualified to fight for Count Lear. If the general speaks, the fake can become real!"

Lear nodded reluctantly in agreement, and with absolute power, anything is possible.

"Does the general know they're fake?" asked Lear.

Old Hans told the general, but he didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it. ”

"Well, I'll go into the city and find old Hans, and ask him to take me to the general. Also, you may have to trouble Uncle Humphrey in the future. Lear said firmly.

Humphrey smiled elusively, "Little Charlie, are you sure I'll help you?"

Lear was stunned, then smiled back: "The Imperial Star has not fallen, but is just hiding in the shadows of the night sky and watching the Homan Empire. I don't think you may like this kind of life, or wouldn't it be nice to add some fun to your boring life as a manor owner?"

Humphrey laughed, "I've got a bit of a liking for you, it's really one of the few pleasures I've had at the moment." Have a good day's rest, and I'll have a feast in the evening, and I'll send you to old Hans tomorrow." ”

Lear stooped and saluted, "Thank you, Uncle Humphrey." I told you, I got a potion recipe and complete materials from the cannibal family, and I only need an intermediate magic apprentice to refine a potion, I wonder if you can help hire a potions master? ”

Humphrey pointed out the window and said, "See that house? There's my personal potions master there, and when the time comes, go to him, and he'll help you, without any pay." But his temper is not very good, you have to bear with it. You know, my baby Ness needs to be taken care of, and those Potions Masters are all 'medics', so it's not easy to find such a Potions Master who is good at regulating diets. ”

Lear nodded and said, "The last time I saw Ness, it was probably seven or eight years ago, when she was so skinny, alas...... How's her body now?"

Humphrey's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Not optimistic, although he is stronger than before because he has grown up, he is destined to live less than twenty years old." ”

Lear said, "Don't worry, magic is magical, and there is always a way to heal Niss." ”

Humphrey squeezed out a smile and said, "It will." There you go. ”

Lear thanked Humphrey and, led by the manservant, made his way to the Potions Master's quarters.

The voice of the sword rang out: "Lear, the magicians here are really weak, one senior magic apprentice, two junior magic apprentices, far worse than Audreyna's magicians. "She's still a little girl after all, and she likes to show off her abilities.

Lear was surprised and said, "Impossible." Although the Potions Master is the lowest in the rank of a Magician, the worst Potions Master should also be at the level of a junior Magician, so how can there be only a Magic Apprentice here? That is, that Potions Master is only a trainee Potions Master?"

Only the less talented magic apprentices will turn into potionsmen, and the potions master has the worst status in the mage system, so that before becoming an official potions master, they are all called "trainee potionsmen", and ordinary magic apprentices are also divided into three types: beginner, intermediate and advanced, corresponding to warriors.
