Chapter 22: The Journey
"Big brother is looking for me to go back...... Is it to attend the funeral of the second brother? Linton asked.
"This ......," Tirwin visibly hesitated slightly.
"What's wrong? Lord Tirvin? Linton asked.
"To be honest, I don't know, but Lord Landner's business hasn't been made public yet." "It's less likely that a funeral will take place. ”
This Linton is not very strange, after all, his second brother is the second son in the family, and he has no status like himself, but his second brother does not have the aura of waste, and his treatment is much higher than his own. After thinking about it, Linton asked, "So Lord Tirwin knows what's going on?" ”
"I think it could be a wedding." Tyrwin said.
As soon as he heard this, Linton had a headache and quickly asked, "Whose wedding?" ”
"It is said that ...... The Merlovian family is going to marry the Temlins......" said Tyrwin, "and I met the Temlyns when I visited the Baroness in the palace before. ”
"The Temlin family?" Linton was slightly stunned, because he had never heard the name of this family at all, after all, he didn't even know much about his own family.
"The nobles in the southwest, a very powerful family." Tirven can give us a little bit of an introduction.
"Uh...... Is there any ugly woman or widow in their family that is particularly famous? Linton asked.
"This ...... I hadn't heard of it, but the young lady of the Temlin family had heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the whole of Roshande, and perhaps this time it was her marriage that was arranged. Tyrwin said.
"Beauty......" Linton spread his hands, this has nothing to do with himself, how can he arrange any beauty.
"I think it's possible that the Baron is going to marry this beauty." Tirwin voiced his guess.
"Oh?" Linton thought it was possible, as if he had heard that his eldest brother's wife had also died at the beginning of the year, and was now single, which was in the past. The marriage of the two families, maybe this time I went back to let myself participate in this wedding? It's a little weird.
Do you think that his second brother died before, and he didn't even inform him, and this news was still inquired by Tirvin, so he let himself go back to this wedding? I always felt that it was not so simple, and Linton felt that it was still possible to arrange some kind of marriage for him.
Of course, strange is strange, Linton still has to go back. Although he clearly knows that the identity of his Merlowe family is not his real identity, but why he became this person, he still wants to investigate clearly, maybe it has something to do with his true identity.
Just when Linton said that he wanted to go back, Tyrwin here also made arrangements immediately. After all, Linton had been missing for two days, and it had been delayed for two days, so Tirwin meant to leave immediately today, otherwise he was afraid that Lord Baron would be angry.
Tirwin also lent his carriage to Linton, which was probably the only carriage in the entire town that sat on people, although it was the mayor's carriage, it was still very simple, and the town was really poor. By the way, Tirwin also assigned Linton two escorts, that is, two members of the city guard, one of whom was naturally Radno, and the other Zag, also a young man in his twenties.
Of course, at this time, Eke also rushed back in time, and sure enough, as Radno guessed, this guy was just pretending to be sick. Hearing that Linton had been recovered, Eke was "as sick as ever" in an instant, and rushed back in a hurry to help pack his luggage.
Of course, Linton doesn't actually have any luggage, and the clothes he can wear are the ones on his body, and they are torn like this, which is a bit difficult to do. Fortunately, Tirwin probably saw Linton's difficulties, and also helped solve the problem of clothes, in short, after packing up a little, Linton and his party of four embarked on a journey to Digarno City.
According to Ek, the town is not very far from the city of Digarno, and it is estimated that it can be reached in more than a day by horse-drawn carriage. Along the way, Eke seemed very excited, and kept talking to Linton.
"Young master, you just said it, Lord Baron must have known about your awakening of your fighting spirit, so he will recruit you back." Eke said.
"Really? Do you think so? Linton said, "19-year-old awakening vindictiveness, what's so to brag?" Any knight apprentice in the Baron's Mansion is probably better than me, why did he ask me to go back? ”
"That's different, young master, you're from the Merlowe family." Eke said.
"So you think my eldest brother suddenly thought of family affection and brought me back?" Linton looked at Ek, with a "you seem to be making me laugh" expression, "Ek, this matter is not that complicated, if you are lucky, my eldest brother just remembered that there was me when he was about to get married, and casually said let me go back to the wedding." If you're unlucky, maybe this time I went back to help me arrange something, it is estimated that it is a marriage, of course, the object of marriage...... Definitely not someone to celebrate. ”
"Marriage...... Is it? Eke paused slightly, Linton can also understand the problem, of course Eke can also figure it out, don't you want to use it with Linton, it really seems that Linton is more likely to say.
"Maybe it's still a complicated marriage." Linton said, "Be careful that your new mistress will sell you when the time comes......"
"This ......" Eke was naturally worried, if Linton really got into trouble, he would become a servant of another family, so it seemed normal to sell him. Eck also knew that he was too old to be of much use, and what Linton said could really happen.
"Young Master, aren't you worried?" Eck suddenly noticed that Linton didn't look worried.
"Worry, aren't you trying to figure out a way?" Linton said, "You can also help me think about it, although this matter has not yet been decided, but it is better to think about it first." ”
"This ......," Ek thought for a moment, "young master, why don't we go and ask Baron Seders...... Do you remember? You and the Siders were engaged for a while ago......"
"Is there one? The kind of marriage that refers to marriage? Linton asked.
"Well, the lord made it with Baron Siders at the time."
"And after that? Am I divorced? Linton asked.
"No, Baron Seders's daughter died young, and the matter was never brought up again." Eke said.
"Oh......" Linton thought it was a divorce stream, but unfortunately, he seemed to say that famous line, which felt like one of the four major lines that a traverser must say, and he said that he really wanted to try, "So what are we looking for him?" ”
"Although the daughter who was engaged to you has died, but the follow-up of the marriage contract has not been mentioned, theoretically, the Seders family should have another person to marry you." "If you go to Baron Seders now," said Ek, "you might be able to negotiate this matter, so that you don't have to marry anyone else." ”
"This Baron Seders hasn't mentioned this matter for so many years, and I guess he doesn't want to admit it." Linton said, "After all, I wasn't a waste when I got married, and I am now." ”
“…… That one...... Young master, why don't you try it, it's not very far from Baron Seders's territory here......" Eke said, "Besides, haven't you awakened your fighting spirit now?" ”
"Who told you that I woke up to my vindictiveness?" Linton said with a smile.
"Huh? But didn't you beat Zirao? Eke was stunned.
"Will Zirao be vindictive?" Linton asked rhetorically.
"No...... So...... Young master, you won't be vindictive? Eke was stunned.
"yes." Linton nodded, indeed no.
"This ...... This ......" Eke panicked all of a sudden, if Linton didn't know how to be vindictive, what he said before was useless, and Baron Seders couldn't accept a waste who couldn't be vindictive as a son-in-law. Other words...... That's right.
Just as Eck was panicking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Linton was stunned for a moment, pulled the curtain and asked Radno and Zag, who were driving in front, "What's wrong?" ”
"Young master, there is a situation ahead." Radno said, gesturing ahead.
Linton looked intently ahead, and sure enough, something was wrong. What appeared in front of them was an unmanned carriage that was rushing towards them, and most importantly, Linton saw that there seemed to be a lot of blood on the carriage.
It is easy to deduce what is happening in front of you, it is estimated that the owner of this carriage has been attacked or something, and the horses of the carriage are frightened and run towards them, which means that there is an accident ahead, and it should be not far away.
"Look at this carriage...... The identity of the owner should not be ordinary. Eke next to him said.
It is true that this carriage is much more beautiful than theirs, and at first glance it is a carriage for the rich or noble, and it is definitely a person of status who can do it.
"Let's take a detour." Eke immediately said, "The people who can ride such a carriage are probably not ordinary people, there must be a lot of guards, if they can solve it, they must solve it themselves, if they can't solve it, it will be a big trouble, and we can't help." ”
"Hey, what you're saying is too ruthless." Linton smiled and said, "Do you know the motto of our Merloville family? ”
"No, young master, now is not the time to make this up." Eke saw that Linton was very interested, and quickly said.
"Being kind to others means that if we can help, we must help and see, after all, it's not easy to go out, you say yes." Linton left Eck alone, continued.
"No, young master, it's not that you don't want to help, we really can't help."
"Come, Radno, speed up and see what's going on." Linton waved his hand and said directly.
