Act5 momentum
Baron Cardinau.
He and his old butler were standing at the door of the "Fox and the Berry" tavern—
He was a man in his thirties, slender and handsome, with a very carefully trimmed mustache above his lips, and he was wearing a black tuxedo gown, and holding in his hand an elbowed hand stick common among aristocratic gentlemen.
The stick seemed to hit the street slabs on the ground.
His hands were shaking slightly.
"Good day, Lord Baron."
There were sporadic voices in the tavern—
But the sounds were like a few blisters suddenly appearing in the quiet pond of the village with the breath of the fish, and the tavern quickly fell silent again, and the people looked at the baron, although they knew that he was still the lord of the town of Faun, but the awe and respect for the lord in their hearts seemed to be disappearing unconsciously.
In the dreary air, eyes are staggered.
Baron Cardinor's gaze swept over the tavern, and his face was not very good, with that sickly pale, and his sunken cheeks faintly tinged with a tinge of bluish—
In this year, many nobles have become accustomed to a depraved life, they sing and dance day and night, indulging in the sound of dogs and horses, and the overly fair complexion and slender physique are regarded by the noblewomen as a kind of feminine beauty, so that many nobles who linger in the flowers have gradually accepted and recognized such a special aesthetic.
"Your Excellency, please?"
The sunlight penetrated the glass of the window, and the girl surrounded by the crowd was like a beautiful flower among the green leaves-
Miss Mage's countenance was undoubtedly striking, and Baron Cardinal's gaze lingered on the girl's face for several seconds before finally moving to her side.
Similarly, a young man who had just been watched and surrounded by the crowd - the latter leaned sideways, bowed slightly, and stroked his chest in a not-so-standard manner.
"Gross."
The tone is flat.
But when Baron Cardinal began to look at the young man, he felt as if a peak had been erected in front of him—
The young man's temperament was thick and peaceful, and he stood in the hall of the tavern, surrounded by a number of scattered tables and chairs, the sunlight from the windows reflected his back, and his body radiated a faint golden glow—
Under the sword-like eyebrows, a pair of bright and deep eyes, the bridge of the nose raised, and the corners of his mouth seemed to hang a faint smile, Baron Cardino looked at this obvious mountain man's face, and couldn't help but choke his breath.
He had a delusion.
The people stood next to and behind the young man, and they vaguely seemed to regard the young man as their lord—
The commoners supported the nobles with taxes, and the nobles guarded the commoners with swords. The oath made by the royal family and the nobility under the white walls of the founding of the Elantra is the supreme glory that the noble community of the country in the past admired.
However, when the town of Faun faced the invasion of the undead, he did not do it, but chose another shameful act.
Coward?
Indeed, the cowardly lord really can't win the respect and love of the people—
Baron Cardino couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and he looked at this scene and felt as if his heart was being pricked by something.
"Fitt Cardino?"
"Presumptuous! Be careful with your attitude towards the Baron. ”
The young man was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the Baron, and even called him by his name, and the old butler beside Baron Cardinor couldn't help but be a little annoyed-
He probably glanced at it, the young man's attire was extremely ordinary, without any insignia belonging to the nobility, and judging from his physiognomy features, it was obvious that he was not of good origin—
The mountain people of the Northlands, including those of the Elantt Kingdom, are nothing more than lowly mud legs.
The old butler followed half a step behind Baron Cardino, but by this time he was staring at the young man who was coming from the crowd.
Baron Cardinor nodded, acquiescing to his identity.
Gross recognized the face -
Fett Cardino, who fought in the "War of the Fog Pines", in which his father and two older brothers died at the hands of the Tassia in the first and third years of the war, and later, according to the kingdom's law of noble succession, became lord of the town of Faun;
My martial arts skills are mediocre, and I was able to survive all the way in the cruel battlefield, thanks to the courage and blood that I lacked, and according to a popular saying among players, although this baron is mediocre in all aspects, but his ability to save his life when he is in danger is enough to be called first-rate-
Perhaps, his act of running away in the face of the undead was just his knee-jerk move?
Gross knew that this baron was just a mediocre person with little reputation in the history of the game in his previous life, and the reason why he remembered this baron's name was precisely because of the series of game quests in the town of Faun-
Since the Lich Melville led the undead troops to attack the town of Faun, the baron has been like a frightened rabbit, always holding the principle of "the enemy enters and I flee, and the enemy retreats and I return", leaving the town of Faun many times, but the fate is always difficult to speculate, the undead launched a full-scale offensive against Nogo in the year of the blood moon, and the baron, who is good at escaping, finally died unexpectedly under the arrow of the "permafrost rose" Notson on the way to escape.
However, throughout the life of Baron Cardinor, there is actually no great evil, which is completely consistent with most of the nobles in the kingdom - it can be described as mediocre.
However, in the turbulent times, mediocrity is the original sin.
Gross stood in front of Baron Cardinor, the height difference between the two was similar, but the powerful momentum of Gross's awakening made the baron involuntarily take two steps back-
Sweat was rolling down his forehead on his pale and bloodless face, and after taking a handkerchief from the pocket of his gown and wiping it gently, he finally settled down.
"I am very grateful for Your Excellency's feat of destroying the undead."
He said, his voice flustered.
Gross smiled slightly—
It is true that there is a clear and tight barrier between nobles and commoners, but his strength in the awakening middle rank standing in front of Baron Cardinor is enough to erase this identity gap. The old butler beside the baron frowned and cast a displeased look, but Gross did not care.
"Excuse me, does the church already know about the undead attack on the town of Faun?"
The baron continued.
Gross shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't be sure. Because we are not knights of the church, but mercenaries. ”
This time in the face of Baron Cardinau, Gross decided to tell the truth, he thought that there was no need to act under the banner of the church at the moment, and it might even lead to trouble-
If the Radiant Flame Tonatiu is allowed to get the news to the people in the church, the consequences can be imagined.
He likes freedom and hates fetters, so he doesn't want to have much contact with the Church of the Holy Radiance.
"Ahh
"Knight?"
When Gross said this, there was a lot of talk in the tavern, as noisy as the souks of a large town.
Baron Cardinau, however, was overjoyed, and his expression was soothed. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
