Chapter 25: Arrival
Baron Seders had no choice but to get into Linton's carriage. It was obvious that this tattered carriage made Baron Seders feel a little strange, he didn't know what Linton was doing, and he didn't know that the carriage was borrowed, but common sense told him that it was strange for a star mage to sit in such a carriage.
But Seders didn't say anything, and his men went after the previous carriage, but the frightened horse didn't know how far it would go, and he didn't know if he could find it. Baron Seders didn't have much hope, so let's go with this Linton first.
So the group hit the road again, of course, this time because there were a lot of guards on foot around, and their speed was a little slower, but they should still be able to reach their destination tomorrow.
In the carriage, Eck hadn't recovered from the shock. He couldn't believe his eyes, Linton could actually do magic? And beat away a few vindictive bosses? It's a joke. You must know that not long ago, Linton was over there to challenge Kiora, a gangster who can't even fight, and then he was defeated, so suddenly he became a magician uncle?
was so shocked that Eke was a little out of shape in front of Baron Seders, who was a real fiefdom nobleman, a powerful man. Ek's words before, it is estimated that he was so frightened that he got out of the car and went to walk directly, how dare he sit with this noble man, but now he has forgotten about it.
Of course, Linton didn't want Eke to go out, you must know that he didn't know much about his identity, and he took Eke because he knew the situation, but fortunately, Baron Seders was not very familiar with him, otherwise he would really be exposed in person, and he didn't know what to do.
Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to just sit like this, and soon the two talked about the Assassin, and Linton of course also told him about his previous encounter with the Assassin.
"What, the virtuous nephew was also assassinated?" Baron Seders was shocked.
"yes, it was two days ago." Linton said, "It almost happened. β
"It's the same people?" Baron Seders asked.
"I'm a little skeptical, after all, the person who assassinated me is also a person who can use vindictiveness, not an ordinary thief." "Also, it is said that not long ago, my second brother was also assassinated. β
"What? Is Landner? Baron Seders was even more surprised, "What's the situation?" β
"I don't know the specifics very well, it's obvious that my eldest brother didn't announce this, and I also heard about it." Linton said, "Isn't that just about to ask about the situation?" β
"Well, I haven't heard about it either." Baron Seders nodded, "So, could it be that someone has an idea for the nobles of our southwest?" After all, even I was assassinated...... This is not ordinary. β
"After all, it's threatening me, and I want to know who it is, and does my uncle have any clues?" Linton asked.
"To be honest, I can't think of anyone for a while." Baron Seders said, "Who will keep an eye on me, the people who can get the magicians are definitely not ordinary people, is there any benefit to them in assassinating me?" β
"I ...... There's a suspect ......," Linton said suddenly.
"Huh? Who is it? Baron Seders asked immediately.
"My big brother." Linton spread his hands, "Look at the assassins, my second brother, I, are all people who threaten his inheritance, and then Lord Baron Seders, maybe it's my eldest brother who has taken a fancy to your fief or something, and wants to take it over?" β
"Don't talk nonsense!" Baron Seders suddenly became serious, "Your eldest brother Jorabo is not that kind of person, this kid also grew up under my watch, and he went to war with your father and me back then, he can't do such a thing." β
"Yes." Linton nodded slightly, to be honest, he was just talking nonsense. But Eck next to him was sweating profusely when he listened, and this Linton actually dared to speak ill of the current Baron Merlowe? What will happen when this reaches the ears of the baron? Aren't you scary?
"To tell you the truth, your eldest brother can't come up with such a plan. I saw it when I went to the battlefield back then, this guy is simply a reckless man, it's okay for you to let him charge, let him think of such a strategy, it's really embarrassing for him. Seeing that Linton still seemed to have doubts, Baron Seders immediately continued. Obviously, Linton also saw that Baron Siders really cared about them, and he was worried about their brothers' walls, so he would say a few more words, it seems that his relationship with his father is really iron, and he really cares about their brothers.
"Oh...... Such. Linton naturally didn't know what kind of person his eldest brother was, but it was probably not him when he heard this meaning, "But no matter how you look at it, it's a little suspicious, what about the Temlin family who is going to marry the eldest brother?" Is it possible for them? β
"Them?" Baron Seders was a little puzzled.
"You see, their territory is also nearby, right, maybe they also have a crush on your uncle's territory. Whoever assassinates our family after the marriage will allow their family to inherit our territory, and then after assassinating you, attack your territory while your fiefdom is in chaos, and unite the three baronies when the time comes......," Linton said.
"This ......" Baron Seders also seemed to believe Linton's words, it is indeed not impossible, "The Temlin family...... I really don't know, but their leader, Joe Wynne. Temrin is indeed an old fox, not to be messed with. β
After thinking for a while, Baron Seders said, "What you said is not impossible, I am going to go and have a good talk with your eldest brother, and advise him to be careful." β
"Be careful, uncle." Linton said, "Anyway, they're obviously eyeing you now, and if my eldest brother is involved in this, you should be careful in the city, and if anything, you can come to me." β
"It's all said, don't keep doubting your big brother." Baron Seders here has a bit of a headache, and it can be seen that Linton's brain is very good and he thinks things quickly, but he doesn't know why he seems to be very distrustful of his eldest brother. He and Linton's father were comrades-in-arms, and he really didn't want to see his sons suspicious of each other, although the aristocratic family was relatively lacking in affection, but Baron Seders really didn't want to see that.
The two also talked a little about other things, and Baron Seders here is probably also old, or maybe he wants to show off his youth after seeing his juniors, or something like that, in short, he said a lot of things. A lot of it was when he and Linton's father were on the battlefield.
Linton also listened carefully most of the time, after all, he didn't know a lot about his current identity, and it was a good thing to know some of his father's situation. All in all, I listened to it for a long time, and the main information I got was that his father and Baron Seders both served as knightly squires to the patriarch of the Redden family in their early years, and they later made a fortune because of the Redden family.
The current Raidon family is also a giant family in the empire, and their Merlowe family and Sides family are all marked by the Raidon family, and they are considered to be members of the same faction. Of course, the Raidon Knights they served back then had long since passed away, and the current patriarch of the Raidon family, Loris. Redden is the current marshal of the Empire, but he is a little more distant from them.
As he walked, it soon became dark. There are no street lights around this road, it is dark at night, and the road conditions are problematic, so you can only camp at night, otherwise you don't know what to do if the carriage overturns. Knowing if the Assassins would return, the crowd was nervous.
Several soldiers worked in pairs, taking turns to stand guard, but fortunately the night passed, and the assassin did not appear. Baron Seders didn't sleep well, after all, he didn't feel safe in the wilderness, and it was really difficult for him to fall asleep. And Linton slept comfortably all night, after all, he already knew that automatic combat would be triggered when he was sleeping, so what was he afraid of.
The next day, the group also accelerated on the way. Even Baron Siders' words were a little less, and everyone was a little nervous, resulting in a sense of exhaustion. However, there were no special situations along the way, and in the afternoon, they also arrived safely in the city of Digarno.
The city of Digarno in front of him is much grander than the town Linton stayed in before, and of course Linton is also the first time to see the city here, the huge city walls, and the huge castle on the hill in the city, which makes people can't help but sigh. Radno and Zag, who had followed Linton, were out of town for the first time, and they were stunned to see such a big city.
In fact, Linton was also very surprised, but he couldn't show it, after all, his identity was born in this city, and he had been staying in this city until his father died at the beginning of this year.
Of course, they couldn't wander around the city either, so Baron Seders sent someone to the city to inform them of their arrival, while they slowly walked in the direction of the castle.
There is a hill in the city of Digarno with a very magnificent castle on the hill. This huge castle is the residence of the MerovΓ«n family. This operation castle is really very famous, and it is also called the Great Tooth Castle, as for why it is called, Linton is not very clear, this castle was not built by their Merovie family, it was originally here, but it was just a transformation carried out by their family.
The carriage slowly came to the bottom of the Great Fang, and when Linton and the others got out of the car, there were already people waiting at the door. Among them, Linton also saw a lot of black-haired people, judging from their appearance, these people should be his relatives. Of course, they also looked at Linton in surprise, after all, they didn't expect Linton to come with Baron Seders.
