Section 162, the so-called dragon egg
Lord Angus was proud of being able to cornering the barons of the Locke family, a feat that was enough to boast of the other vassals.
"Let the Bruce's messengers in!" Lord Angus said magnanimously, believing that Bruce had chosen to settle things out of fear of offending his vassals.
Edward and Stukov walked in with a chest of belongings, which they placed in the lord's house, and Lord Angus sat on a wooden chair, touching his beard and squinting at the two messengers in front of him.
"Lord Angus, we have brought your greetings from Lord Baron, as well as this box of gifts." Edward looked at Angus, who was sitting on the wooden chair, and said in a tone that was as flattering as possible to the superior noble, but a mountain lord like Angus didn't understand this at all.
"Open the box, I want to see." Angus simply focused on the wooden box, his eyes full of greed, such a large box of possessions was the income of his territory for three years.
Edward nodded to Stukov, who reluctantly opened the lid of the wooden box, and when the lid opened, the contents glowed, and the light shone brightly on the dilapidated wooden house, not only Angus but also the rest of the room were stunned by the contents of the box.
"Wipe the shiny bronze, silver plates, and twenty silver forks, and three hundred silver coins." Stukov said to Lord Angus.
"Very well, hahaha, this is worth a big feast, and my reputation will spread throughout the kingdom." Lord Angus happily announced to his servants that the family, which was able to hold frequent banquets, would become famous for its generosity.
The lord of Angus took out all the food from the storehouse and gathered all the people of his realm into the lord's house, where the night fell, the house was brightly lit and the people of Angus cheered for their lord's victory.
"These belongings must have been taken from Jeffrey's castle, right? How many are there? Looking at the people dancing in the house, Lord Angus, who had drunk a lot of wine, said slightly to Edward and Stukov, who were sitting on the side.
"So what?" Stukov was nibbling on a chicken leg when he heard Lord Angus's words, and he threw the chicken leg into the plate with some anger.
"I don't know this, if I were the Baron, I should divide the treasures of Jeffrey's Castle among the vassals, so that everyone can understand the Baron's generosity." Lord Angus held his stomach up, as if Bruce were his apprentice.
"Hmph, Jeffrey's castle was fought hard by the soldiers, and if the property inside is distributed to vassals who do not obey the summons, then I am afraid that the true loyal will not be satisfied." Stukov said with a sneer as he looked at Lord Angus.
"What, you're saying I'm a traitor?" Lord Angus's face fell suddenly, and he glared at Stukov, who was now full of Angus people, and he only needed to give the order to Stukov to be chopped to pulp.
"Lord Lord, don't be angry, that's not what he meant." Edward hurriedly dissuaded, he frequented the court of the nobles, and was very good at reading words and words, but the temper of these mountain people was very stinky, and when Lord Angus glared at Stukov, the others had already sensed that something was wrong.
"Kang Chang." Several reckless warriors from the mountains, standing up and drawing their axes from their waists, did not let their guard down because of the banquet.
When a few of the mountain warriors stood up, the rest of the party sensed that something was wrong, and the music gradually stopped, and when the noisy place suddenly fell silent, a sense of depression pervaded.
"If you can't give me an explanation and apologize to me, don't even think about leaving here today, or let Bruce ransom me with money." Lord Angus shook the fur pads and green cloak on his shoulders, and he looked at Edward and Stukov fiercely.
"Your lord, please don't be angry, in fact, I think your words are very right, but the baron also wants to send us gifts to other vassals, if you leave us here, I am afraid it will cause the other lords to be unhappy." Edward hurriedly said to Angus, and at the same time quietly pressed Stukov's hand with his hand, where Stukov was about to pull out the throwing knife from his sleeve.
"Gifts for other vassals? But all I see is a wooden box? The Lord of Angus was puzzled when he heard this, and he saw only a carriage and a wooden chest of belongings.
"Ahem, in fact, Lord Baron has obtained a few rare things from Jeffrey's castle, and he is going to give these things to the nobles, so that everyone will think that Lord Baron is very fair." Edward stood up and said to Lord Angus.
"Rare things, what is that?" Lord Angus couldn't help but ask curiously, and even the others unconsciously stopped their hostile behavior, and they looked at each other.
"It's a dragon egg, four dragon eggs." Edward smiled and said in a mysterious tone.
"Dragon egg, the Lord God is above, this is impossible." Lord Angus blurted out in shock that dragons were creatures that everyone often heard in bedside stories when they were young, but no one thought that such creatures were real.
"Wow~~." Not only Lord Angus, but even others were in an uproar.
"It's true, and we didn't believe it was true when we found it in Jeffrey's cellar." Edward picked up a glass of wine and recounted the discovery process to the people in the house, and his description was so vivid that everyone felt as if they had experienced it themselves.
"But if there is a dragon egg, why doesn't Jeffrey hatch the dragon so that he doesn't lose his castle and his life." A warrior in the mountains asked, "Of all the stories, the great wizard Merlin is the most famous, and it is said that his extraordinary magic came from a dragon, and many of the great people in the legend have domesticated the dragon and gained great power.
"It's a pity he didn't have time." Edward took a sip of his wine and brought the story back to life.
"Can I take a look?" Lord Angus felt his throat dry, he licked his lips, no longer showing hostility towards Edward and Stukov, he even squeezed out a smile and said.
"Well, it's for its lord." Edward touched the rim of the cup and said with some embarrassment.
"Those lords are just stupid pigs, are they as brave as I am, and have so many brave warriors as I have?" Disdainfully denigrating the other nobles, Lord Angus pointed to the big-shouldered warriors of the mountains in the house, and said to Edward.
"Well, there shouldn't be a problem with a look." Edward seemed to have made up his mind, he placed the cup on the wooden table, and finally nodded, while Stukov looked at him with a strange expression.
