Chapter 34: Alex Barov
Orondo talked to Ero for a while, which made him know that Ero was not the only waiter at the banquet who had been apprentice mage.
"The Lordaeron embassy paid him very well. I'm also willing to hire apprentices who almost became mages, so six of them came today. Hérault said.
There is no story in the former apprentice mage who almost became the ruling class of Dalaran to serve as a waiter at his own ball, and Orondo really doesn't believe it.
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out, "Hey! You are here. Found you, genius mage! ”
Neras Elam, dressed not in a mage robe but in a lord's gown, walked over with a smile on his face and a young man who was also smiling.
Holding a wine glass, Earan glanced curiously at Eero, who bent slightly towards Neras before saying to Orondo, "Thank you for listening to me. This puts me in a much better mood, Master Sephorosa, you are a merciful man. ”
"Everything will be fine." Orondo said to him again.
"Thank you for your comfort. I'm going to work. Hérault smiled, looking much more cheerful.
Eero Grief walked away with his wine tray, the former apprentice mage apprentice needed to work in order to receive his payment from the Lordaeron Embassy.
"Who's that? Kind of familiar. Neras, who walked up to Orondo, looked at Ero's back and frowned.
"He used to be our classmate. But now it's just a waiter at the ball. Orondo said.
Neras Elan frowned again: "What do you mean?" Our classmate, he's also a mage? How could a mage come to be a waiter? ”
"Don't talk about it." Orondo smiled, looking curiously at the other young man who had been smiling and standing not far behind Neras Elan.
The young man looked younger than Neras, about the same as himself, fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Wouldn't you like to introduce him? Your friend? Orondo said with a smile to the children of the great nobles of the South.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! I almost forgot to get down to business! Nalas laughed, retracting his little curiosity about Ero, "Introduce you!" My friend over here! Alex Barov, son of Grand Duke Barov, heir to the Barov family! ”
Hearing the surname "Barov", Orondo glanced at Alex Barov, who was very enthusiastic:
"Hello! Sir Sephorosa, I'm Alex Barov. Your reputation is even famous in Calderon! I'm not a mage, but I admire you very much! ”
"Hello, Mr. Barov." In the face of his enthusiasm, Orondo is neither humble nor arrogant and polite.
The Barov family, since becoming a nobleman, how often did Oren hear their name. In aristocratic circles, the Barov family is a legend.
They are the Grand Dukes of the kingdom who have the right to inherit the throne of the Alterac Kingdom, and they have great influence in the Alterac Kingdom.
What's more, in addition to being the only Grand Duke under the king of the Alterac Kingdom, Barov also has a very strong influence in several other northern human kingdoms.
And while he is not only the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Alterac, but also the Duke of Lordaeron, the Marquis of Riptide Castle, and the Viscount of Gilneth.
With the exception of Stormwind in the south, Kurtilas on the sea, and Dalaran ruled by mages, Barov has influence in every human kingdom.
The so-called transnational aristocracy refers to their families. Compared with Barov, who is at least a viscount, Orondo, a multinational son and baron, is simply beaten.
Of course, Barov's greatest influence is still the kingdom of Alterac. After all, in the Kingdom of Alterac, Barov is the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke has the right to inherit the throne.
The Barov family, which has so many national titles, also has a vast fiefdom. It was a wealthy family that held a vast land east of the Alterac Mountains, and Brill, Talenmere, Keldaron, and even the town of Nanhai were all fiefdoms of Barov.
Barov's wealth can be compared to that of the Ren and royal families, who have an ancient Alahi lineage, and the people of the family live in the old castle of the Arachi nobles, continuing this ancient family lineage.
To put it simply, this is a family that has a great influence among the northern human countries, and can almost be compared to several other royal families.
And the Alex Barov in front of him, listening to Neras, is actually Barov's heir. Then it means that this guy who is about the same age as himself will be one of the most influential human beings in the northern human countries in another ten or twenty years.
"I've heard your name for a long time. Neras has spoken of you more than once in front of me. But you haven't left Violet House much, and you've never had a chance to meet you. Today's face of Crown Prince Tolodan, Renterinas, finally see you! Nice to meet you! "Alex Barov's etiquette is so impeccable that he can't even find fault with the Eye of Truth.
Neras Elam also added at this time: "Alex is not a mage, and Dalaran doesn't like their family, so he can't enter the Violet Academy. He did want to get to know you for a long time. ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you. H.E. Barov. Orondo smiled and nodded again to Alex Barov, he shouldn't have inherited the title at such a young age, so Orondo didn't call him a knight.
Dalaran doesn't like Barov, and Dalaran doesn't like other human kingdom royals.
But to make matters worse, basically none of the human royals like Barov. Their influence is so great that the royal family is worried that something unexpected will happen to them.
Orondo looked at Neras Elan, who had a cheerful expression and a little grin, and said secretly in his heart: Only you, a guy from the south, don't care about the Barov family.
After all, no matter how long Barov's hand is, he can't reach to the south, and he has no interest in reaching out to the south, where even ordinary people don't want to go!
Alex Barov was very enthusiastic about Orondo, much more than Neras, and then asked Orondo a lot of things. However, he is very good at talking, and has always focused his conversations on the curiosity of the magic layman, asking questions about some novice in spells.
Neras Elam has also changed from the way he talked a lot in the past, and has always had a faint smile on his face today, only adding Orondo or Alex's words from time to time, and has always acted as the best third person.
The three young men talked for a long time.
It continued until a middle-aged human with a beard on his face in the center of the ballroom was smiling and loudly announcing, "Everyone! All the guests have arrived! I declare that the prom is ready to begin! ”
