Chapter 56 Support
A month passed quickly.
Outside a mountain range, a long line was slowly advancing.
They were slow and had a strange composition, carrying not only a large amount of supplies, but also many children and female dependents, and they did not look like a special caravan but rather a moving team.
At the front of the line was a young man in a black sleeve shirt, who looked to be only about ten years old, extremely handsome, and his face glanced around with a calm and calm expression.
"Look at this, it's almost time to the next city. ”
Walking at the front of the line, looking at the knights who were gradually returning in the distance, Adil muttered to himself.
It's been more than a month since I left the Northlands.
They walked according to the past trade routes, and all the way to the present, calculating the distance, they were not far from the southern countries.
Because of the approaching southern kingdom, some of the original team began to leave the team and chose a different route from Erhua and the others.
During this time, because of the successive departure of those nobles, the team that originally had more than 2,000 people is now only in their early 1,000s, and the speed of action is much faster than before.
"The first country we took this route was the Duchy of Barron, which is a small country that we are familiar with, and there are quite a few forces there. ”
On the side, Flal Zema walked up, looking at the slight crowd gradually appearing in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face: "I have sent someone to inform you, and when we get to the next city, our people will come to pick them up, and by the way, we will settle Lord Erhua." ”
Hearing this, Adiel's gaze froze: "Has it been decided?"
"Yes, this is the most appropriate result. Flal nodded and confirmed, "In previous years, most of our forces in the south were located in the Duchy of Baron, and as long as Lord Elvar arrives there, he can immediately inherit all the power of the family there." ”
"We were very well prepared there. He continued: "More than a decade ago, in order to prevent this from happening today, Lord Boria did a lot here. ”
"Not only do we have several small chambers of commerce in the Duchy of Barron, but Lord Boria also owns a count's title and several estates there, all of which can be inherited from generation to generation. ”
"As long as you have these, even if you lose the Northland, Lord Elvar will still have the status of a nobleman, and you can continue to live a new life here in peace. ”
A relaxed smile appeared on Flal's face, and he said slowly to Adiel.
This phenomenon is normal.
As a nobleman, in this chaotic and dangerous world, there are basically a few followers, in order to ensure the continuity of the family after the family's trouble, so that the family will not completely decay.
This is still the case for ordinary nobles, let alone big nobles like the Fakus family, and it is a strange thing that they do not have any back-up.
So listening to this, Adil was not surprised, but asked rhetorically, "What does Erhua mean by himself?"
He asked, looking at Flal on the side.
After experiencing the Northland Rebellion and the death of his biological father, Elvar, who was originally cheerful, suddenly fell into a trough.
During the time when Adil and Fulal were bothering with all sorts of trivial matters and heading south with a large procession, Elvar spent his days hiding in a comfortable carriage, usually either getting drunk with other nobles or flirting with the girls in the procession, and spent all his time and energy on finding several women almost every night.
The people in those ranks were happy to do the same.
No matter how Elvar loses his position, he also has the family wealth left to him by Count Polya to inherit, and there are two powerful knights behind him, Flal and Adil to support him, and it is still a thick thigh for those nobles who have lost their lords.
After more than two months, Erhua's whole person is like a waste, not only has his original physique become weaker, but he is usually inseparable from gambling and drinking, and he is drunk and dreaming all day long.
Looking at this situation, although Adil didn't say anything on the surface, he was secretly shaking his head in his heart.
For his former good friend, he has learned a lot during this time.
The other party is only a middle-class asset in all aspects, and his own will is even weaker, and without the whipping and supervision of Count Boria, he is suddenly indulgent, and he has not inherited the slightest ability from Count Boria.
Not only Adiel, but even Flar, who had always been loyal to Count Boria, had been completely disappointed in him, and no longer had any expectations and illusions, and only planned to let him live honestly and peacefully.
At this time, hearing Adier's question, Flal had to show a helpless expression on his face, and did not say anything more on this question: "In the history of nearly a hundred years, in addition to the power we have established ourselves, there are many clansmen of the Fakus family who have come to the south and have a lot of power in the south. ”
"Some have become nobles in other kingdoms, others have established large caravanserai chambers, and even I have the title of viscount in the Duchy of Baron. ”
"With the care of our people, as long as there are no accidents, Lord Elvar will not have any problems in his future life, and he can live his life without worries. ”
"Well, for Elvar now, this kind of life may not be bad. Standing aside, quietly listening to Flal's narration, Adil looked into the distance and said noncommittally.
The team is still slowly moving forward.
However, in the center of the procession, with good eyesight, Adil saw a young girl come out of Elvar's carriage in disheveled clothes, with some sweat on her forehead.
Looking at this scene, Adil instinctively felt a wave of disgust in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his former friend.
"Actually, compared to Lord Elvar, and for the entire Fakus family, you are the most important person. Glancing at Adil beside him, Flal sighed: "The Northland is gone, and although the once prosperous Fakus family will not be defeated, it will not be as powerful as before, and it is still far from the situation in the past. ”
"Even if Lord Elvar doesn't become what he is now, it is unlikely that he will be able to restore the glory of the Farkus family. ”
"The only hope lies in you. ”
Flal raised his hand, sat down on his horse and continued: "The power of wizards is very powerful, and legend has it that some powerful wizards can even slaughter a city by themselves, which is a terrifying force that mortals cannot resist. ”
"If you can get to that point, the Pharkus family will not only be able to restore its former glory, but even go further, it is not impossible. ”
He smiled at Adiel.
On the side, listening to this, Adil was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile and did not choose to answer.
Looking at his appearance, Flal also shook his head, and added: "Actually, you don't need to go far, as long as you can become a wizard, you can benefit the entire Phakus family, including me and Elhua, and the benefits will definitely exceed your imagination." ”
"In order for you to be able to go further on the path of wizards, all of us will support you behind you. ”
Speaking of this, a hint of awe appeared in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is also the practice of the past. ”
"The existence of wizards is actually not a secret among the great nobles. ”
"In the past, whenever there was a person in the Pharkus family with wizarding qualifications, all the family members would work behind the scenes to make those with wizarding talents go further. ”
"Even if we lose the Northland now, the support for you will not disappear, although it will definitely shrink a little compared to before, but it should still be of great help to you. ”
