"Frankly, when you left Tawu Harbor City, many little girls wept for you, and some ran to intercede for you. None of them thought you would survive in the remote part of the Sunset Mountains. ”

"If I've made you cry, I'll have to apologize. "Feige has been pondering the Marquise's sudden arrival at the Ice Peak Fortress, and has been secretly observing. But this woman who is too beautiful to talk hides everything behind a touching smile, and it is too difficult to see through her. "I failed a lot of people's expectations in the past, and I don't want to live up to you now. After all, I'm counting on a win tomorrow. ”

"You, when there were many people, you called me 'you', but now when there are only two people, you change to the word 'you', and imply that I am also a little girl who weeps for you. Are you still a little polite?"

"Politeness is more meaningful when there are more than three people involved. Feiqi said, "I think you're right, why not be honest?"

While they were talking frankly, the two of them had already arrived in the kitchen. Previously, they had walked into the room of the Marquise de Pohimana together and left there. After all, the Ice Peak Fortress is not a hotel, and the guest rooms do not exist, they are just empty rooms that are uninhabited, cleaned out and put on simple beds, which are just ordinary guest houses in the previous life. The two of them discussed, since they both had the intention to talk, it was better to change places.

The banquet was still going on, the kitchen was still busy, and it was impossible for the two of them to run back in circles, so they chose the storage room next to the kitchen. A jar of ale wine from the kitchen, a canvas on the chest as a stool, a spell to provide lighting, and some walnuts from the sack, and a simple tea party is set up.

"Ah, I almost forgot about that. Feige shook his sleeve, and a greasy chicken leg was thrown out of it and fell into his palm. The Marquise frowned slightly, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "You're not going to entertain me with this, are you?"

"Of course not, how could it be!" Feige came to the door and whispered to Pengpeng. The goblin came out of the shadows with a sausage in his mouth, and the little short legs shook his big feet and ran over quickly: "Chief, what are you looking for?"

"Eat chicken legs, don't run around, hide and look at the door. Somebody wants to come over and whistle, you know?"

Peng Peng nodded, "I know!" He opened his mouth, and Fei Qi shoved the chicken leg between the goblin's teeth, then turned around and entered the house and closed the door.

"Please understand, the Sunset Mountains here are not as good as the capital, and you can't pay attention to it. ”

"I didn't see it clearly, is it a goblin? you use a goblin as a servant?" the Marquise picked out two walnuts with her three white fingers, and tossed them around on the table. She glanced at Fei Qi and asked, "I know you came here in exile, why is the Earl so stingy that he didn't exile the others with him?"

This is actually a good solution, and Feige himself has thought about it. He was exiled to the Icepeak Fortress, and Count Hall secretly prepared a manor for him to provide an annuity, but no one followed. Eddie can't be counted, she's just a servant, and she still has to go home after sending Feige off. Although the word "exile" is not a good word, if you give some money, or arrange for someone's children to enter the family, or take in a young knight apprentice, then there will definitely be people who are willing to follow Feige to the Ice Peak Fortress. Isn't it just to protect a nobleman's son? Whether it's called a bodyguard or a guard, it's a fairly normal job, where to do it or not?

But no, even the money was given secretly, and Feiqi had to perform well before he took it out. The Count must have had his own thoughts, and Feige couldn't guess it, but he couldn't ask it for the time being. He asked Eddie to carry a letter when he returned home, apologizing to his parents on behalf of "Feige Hall", and also had the idea of finding out about the situation. It's just that there is no telegraph, telephone, and Internet in this world, and the letters have to walk slowly on his legs, so he still can't receive a reply.

The Marquise of Pohimana suddenly asked what she was going to do about this? Feige was a little unsure, but he couldn't get away from the intrigues between the nobles, so it was better to be careful. "It's not that there is no arrangement, it's just that it's better than if I sincerely repented and then had the goddess exempt me from my guilt. As for the goblin, I came across it during a mission, and I was able to save it. He's quite obedient, and if he has to say it's a servant, it's fine. Speaking of which, I'm a little strange, why did you come to the Sunset Mountains without a servant, madam?"

"I'm used to taking care of myself, and servants don't use it well. The maids around me, although they all follow me on the surface, are actually thinking about someone else's bed. I have a lot of visitors, and it's easy to kidnap all my maids. Alas, I can't be ruthless enough to punish those stupid women, so there's no way but to do everything myself. ”

"I can understand that, after all, there is a lot of pressure on other women around you. Feiqi thought for a moment and said, "Suddenly there are no servants, and my life is in turmoil for a while. Although it was slowly straightened out in the end, it was still not as convenient as before. So I was thinking just now, is it better that Madame is stronger, and before the spring cold has subsided, you will come to the Ice Peak Fortress, what kind of spirit is this?"

"Young people are adventurous and always feel that the outside world is good. When I am older, I will change my mind and feel that stability is the true meaning of life. But if you are older, you will start to miss the adventurous life of your youth. Pohimana sighed, and the fragrance overflowed. "I'm getting older and I need to move around a little bit to make my heart a little younger, but also to live longer. Sunset Mountains—isn't that name for the elderly?"

"You don't look old. ”

"Goddess bless. ”

"The goddess doesn't care about that. Beauty is not included in truth and thunder. Feige pointed.

"It's just a difference of opinion between men and women, and I believe that the goddess is beautiful, and of course she is beautiful. Oh, look at me, how did I talk about this in front of a pastor. Brooke Mana smiled and waved her hand, tossing aside the two walnuts she had been playing with. "I don't dare talk about gods, let's talk about people. In the Sunset Mountains, there are only two young people who I think are particularly promising. My grandson Gresham is naturally good, and you are another. ”

Feige's mouth grew and his eyes widened. "Gresham is your grandson, isn't he named Gary?"

"That's his mother's last name before she got married. It was a pious woman, but she died early due to fever, and the child missed her so much that she changed her original surname after becoming a paladin. Didn't you always know?"

"I'm sorry, Marquise, I didn't know. I've had a reputation for not being able to learn anything in Port Tawu, and I don't have a chance to learn when I'm here—I can't compare to Inspector Gresham. I wondered why he was able to mobilize your knights to fight. It turned out to be this relationship. ”

"Knights? What kind of knights are they, they're just humanoid hounds hired for money. A true knight must have his own land and subjects, and the power and duty that arise from ruling are the strength of the knight. If you want me to say - I will say that, right and not necessarily, if there is a territory, it must be the territory of young people to be vigorous. Paladins, those older paladins and knights, what is the difference between them and the nobles, how can they set an example? ”

It turned out to be an exemplary affair - Feige probably guessed it. But what does this model leader have to do with himself, does an exile still have a chance to become a lord himself?

After thinking about it, he understood, and it seemed that it was the origin of his "Hall family" that triggered the association. Templars and royal counts, these two identities are superimposed, doesn't this also mean "model territory of the Church"? Does the Hall family have any arrangements? Maybe there is or not, but Feige is completely unaware. If he was in charge, he would not arrange important things to such a gentlemanly young master.

"There is hope when you are young, that's true, but with the guidance of people with rich life experience, that's the way to success. I wonder what advice the Marquise has on this?"

"Women will only cause trouble to men, and they will not dare to talk nonsense. Didn't you have some misunderstanding between you and Gresham because of women? Young people still have a long time to come, and there is always a time to look back. Many people will sigh: why did you dwell on these things when you were young, and didn't make more efforts in more important aspects? Gresham's development and opportunities are very good now, but our marquis family is just a useless woman in charge, and the only ability is to help children make some smart and capable friends. What do you think?"

"No problem at all. Feiqi smiled and agreed, "It's a good intention, and there's no reason why I shouldn't respond with good intentions." ”

"Would you like to go to Saddle Fortress then? Gresham has no young talent to compare with you. Together, you can definitely create a great situation, and I don't think there is anything that can stop you from being a role model. ”

Feige still smiled, but shook his head: "Then, isn't it just from a friend to a superior? And at that time, it was not as simple and pure as it is now." If Inspector Gresham has any matter, as long as it complies with the rules of the Church of the Goddess, I will also carry out the order. Today I am a little clever, and it is also the Marquise that you can only succeed if you agree. But in the church, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. ”

"Isn't it good for the two to work together?"

Feige sighed, "Okay, of course it's good. It's just that my name is Fitch Yeti Icepeak now, and my home is now Icepeak Fortress. I was given a new name here, and I did my duty at Icepeak Fortress, and Saddlewood Fortress wasn't for me. But don't worry, Inspector Gresham's business is my business, and the goddess bears witness to all this. ”

It's the same as saying it. If it is a matter within the scope of the authority and responsibility of the church regulations, it is still necessary for the Marquise de Pohimana to go out? Under the witness of the goddess, where can there be a matter of "your family and my family"? Feige is perfunctory, neither abandoning nor committing, that is, not biting the hook, but not evacuating.

"Slippery head. Gresham if he had a brain like yours. Pohimana tapped Feige's forehead with her finger, "I don't embarrass you, I'll pay a visit to the county - even if your mother doesn't want to entertain me." She smiled at me just like you, very polite, but not close at all, what a pity. However, you have to admit one thing, you owe me a personal favor in the matter of Zis. ”

Of course, there is no doubt about that. Fei Qi nodded vigorously: "Madam, I have a proposal: do you want to make an atonement confession? Now is the best chance, even the only chance, to truly remove sins and calm the heart." ”

"I have prayed more than you do, and the Goddess has been blessing me. My health, my happiness, and my peace and joy are blessed by the Goddess, and I am satisfied. ”

"I have other abilities that the Atonement Confession pastor does not have. You must know that angels restrain the devil, but only with the help of the person concerned. Feige removed the bait from his mouth and flicked the rod himself.
