Taylor adjourned the meeting with a few words of encouragement.

Clifford returned to the temporary accommodation that Taylor had arranged for him, and the living conditions here were much more modest than the small western-style buildings in the royal capital of Vienna, a courtyard house, but it was enough for them, and it was now the beginning of his career, and it was understandable that it would be a little harder.

Fortunately, his servants did not mind any of this, and left the best room to Clifford and Liana, and the rest of them went to find their own rooms.

"Master, are you really not taking me with you this time?" Liana crawled into Clifford's arms and said quietly, her tone full of grievances.

Collie smiled slightly, patted her on the back and said, "Silly girl, my lord is going to march and fight, where can I bring a woman?" You take it with you at home, and I'll clean you up when my grandfather comes back. ”

"Alright then, sir. You have to pay attention to safety, slaves, but please say that the bandits in the north are very fierce, and they are all murderers without blinking. As a result of her long training with Clifford, Liana also learned the honorific title of the East.

"Don't worry, those people are just a group of people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, and they will only be tough on the local people, and they don't dare to do anything with the army." Collie comforted her with a confident face, he has lived two lives, and he is very clear about the habits of these bandits, they are similar to the underworld in later generations, and they are not good in front of the common people, once they see the police and the army, they immediately coaxed, hugged Liana's petite body to his body, and said: "When the master returns triumphantly this time, I will change you to a bigger house." ”

"Thank you." Liana said angrily, her excitement overflowing, she kissed Clifford, suddenly remembered something, and said, "That's right, master." Your return, our neighbor Patrolman Olivia, has come looking for you, and I hope you will come to their house tomorrow for a light meal. ”

Olivia is still very clear about this person, he is the patrol chief of Chaoen City, equivalent to the police chief of later generations, and is most familiar with the situation of local bandits, because Taylor also named him to help General Charles and Clifford to suppress bandits.

Olivia is a very good person, he saw that Clifford became a prisoner at a young age, he knew that this person was extraordinary, and wanted to slap him, after the meeting, Olivia inquired in many ways, only to know that Clifford was an earl, and when he was in the royal capital, he was a man of the hour, and he was the most proud disciple of Governor Taylor, and there were even rumors that Taylor could get the position of Governor of the North, and Clifford made a lot of efforts, after knowing this, Olivia was even more focused on Collifeur, so he took advantage of the relationship between the two neighbors, inviting Clifford to his house tomorrow night.

Clifford was not at home at the time, so Olivia told Liana about it, and Toriana relayed it on her behalf. For this kind of invitation, Clifford naturally will not refuse, although he is a strong dragon, but the other party is a local snake, and if he has a good relationship with Olivia, there must be only benefits and no harm to himself, and he can also inquire with him about the situation in the three northern counties, touching Liana's little head and smiling: "Yes, you can accompany me tomorrow." However, tonight, no other things are allowed to spoil the master's mood. With that, he turned over and pressed Liana's petite figure under him, and did it three times.

The army is not a matter of one or two days, so these days Clifford is quite leisurely, in the evening, he took Liana to Olivia's house to attend a banquet, Liana in order to thank the host for her kindness, carefully dressed up, hoping to make the master take out more face.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for making the Humble House shine." Olivia arrived at the gate early to greet Clifford, and when she saw Liana walking over with Clifford by the arm, she hurriedly walked forward with a smile on her face.

Out of politeness, Collifer bent down to him and smiled, "Mr. Olivia, you are so gracious. I should thank you for inviting me to dinner. ”

Liana also curtsied with her host, and smiled slightly, "It's a great honor to join your banquet, Mr. Olivia." ”

"Oh, beautiful young lady. Don't say that. Olivia hurriedly smiled and helped Liana and said, "You are so beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, that is, a girl like you, worthy of our Earl Clifford." The fact that a beautiful woman like you can come to the party is a great addition to my party, and I should thank you. ”

A few people were hypocritical and polite again, and began to sit at the table, in this world, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is not too serious, and there is no tradition that women and children do not serve at the table, and in this banquet, Olivia brought his wife, his two sons, and a daughter, and asked them to toast the Count of Clifford together.

Olivia's wife was a typical middle-aged woman, judging by the contours of her face, she should have been beautiful when she was young, but because she had given birth to two children, the years had left too many marks on her body, and she was no longer in her prime.

Of her three children, the daughter was in the middle, each with an older brother and a younger brother, and by the nature of a man, Clifford did not pay much attention to her two sons, but looked up at her daughter. Olivia already knew that Olivia's daughter's name was Winnie, who had just turned fifteen years old this year, and she looked like a small jasper, very unrefined, wearing a simple long dress, dressed very plain and cool.

This is my brother's dish.

"Winnie, this is Earl Clifford, the chief advisor to the Governor, and his proud disciple, so you can toast him." Olivia pointed to Colliford and said to her daughter.

Winnie already knew that her father was hosting a big man today, and after hearing her father's order, she immediately stood up, brought a glass of wine to Clifford, and then took another glass of wine herself, and saluted: "Winnie respects the Earl, I have long heard my father say that you are a great person, but I didn't expect you to be so young." ”

"Don't be so polite, sit down, sit down and drink." Clifford looked at Winnie again, and saw that she had a standard melon seed face, and the big eyes under the long eyelashes exuded a pure and bright light, and he couldn't help but like it a little more, and said with a smile: "Miss Winnie, you don't have to be so polite." Ling Zun and I hit it off at first sight, if you don't mind, we can be friends, and you do this, it's not a way to drink with friends. ”
