Before being overthrown by the feared cavalry of the Huns, the powerful Gothic dynasty was a nightmare for the rest of the civilizations of Europa, and in the era of the rise of the dynasty, the Goths' brutal and barbaric style was more fearsome than the murderous Vikings, the Franks, the Celts, the Teutons, the Byzantines, or the Romans before the dissolution of the nation, there are really not many peoples on this continent who have not been ravaged by the Goths, even the Saracens and Persians in the far south have been beaten by the Goths.

Therefore, although Hearn the Younger felt that his people were very sad, in the eyes of other powers, the war between the Goths and the Huns at that time was nothing more than a civil war between running barbarians and horseback barbarians, even if the Gothic dynasty gradually began to advance in civilization after its establishment.

Before the Huns' cavalry and butcher's knives entered their town, they were still jubilant, and they felt that the nomadic Huns would not attack inward, but this time it was just a plunder, so they soon stopped laughing after the collapse of the Goths.

Because of the cynicism shown by the other party during the invasion of the Huns, the Goths generally have a bad perception of other peoples, and many Gothic lords will even expel or even kill other ethnic groups in their own territory, even if they don't do so much, they will not give non-Goths a good look, and among the all-joining lords of the 'Otto League', the only exception in this regard is the Hearn family, who occupy the estuary of the river in the south of the land of Otto, and use the ship trade as their main source of wealth.

Compared to other Gothic Lords, the Hearn family has a very broad attitude towards ethnic groups because of the need to deal with various peoples and forces, and the Goths are not good at shipbuilding, they need to rely on peoples with special maritime talents.

Although there is only one full-fledged city in the Hern family's domain, it is the most prosperous city in the whole of Ortogothia, and it is more prosperous and wealthy than the capital of Ortogoth, which is the port city of Bologna, which has a permanent population of 120,000.

The news of the attack on the trade fleet had been communicated to the lord in advance, so that when Hearn Jr. commanded the fleet into the harbor, the summoned shipwrights and doctors who had been waiting at the docks for a long time rushed up as soon as the ships had laid their pedals.

"Assess the extent of the damage to the vessel and observe the condition of the injured...... The loss this time is not small, I hope the lord will not be too angry. ”

Little Hearn got off the ship in his formal suit, and then looked back at the busy boat with a sigh on his face, these trivial matters have nothing to do with him for the time being, he needs to rush to the lord's mansion to report to that one, and then introduce Ice Hunt to the other party.

Ice Hunter is also dressed in a decent outfit now, he needs to meet the ruler of this territory, sloppy clothing would be considered a deliberate fault, but the clothes on Ice Hunt are Xiao Hearn's, and the burly size of the European is obviously not suitable for him.

From the moment he entered the port, he had been looking at the surroundings with curious eyes, there were no cranes and containers, only rows of port shops and offices of fleet merchants, and the place of commodity distribution and bulk procurement was a little further away, where there were functional buildings dedicated to supporting commercial activities - bazaars and trading houses, and there was more than one.

Ice Hunter soon discovers some goods that he is very curious about, and he sees some strong and able sailors carefully carrying a full-covered plate armor on a humanoid mold to the ship, and Ice Hunter can tell at a glance that this plate armor is a real thing.

"Mr. Hearn, what kind of class of armor is this plate armor? It looks like it's powerful, but it's for sale? ”

"It's for sale, but it's not a bonus armor for a class." Hearn replied with a glance.

"It's an export made by leading metro craftsmen, the kind of patchwork cuirass that only Gothic blacksmiths would use."

"The lords of the Franks and the knights of the rich and fiefdoms will drag people to order this kind of plate armor from us, although in terms of protective performance, our Goths' plate armor is not as good and comprehensive as the Teutons, but it is more suitable for riding and combat, so it has always been very marketable."

"What's the use of them buying it back? Do these pieces of equipment also provide bonuses? Do they have conversation time for armed training? ”

Because he has experienced the effect of bonus equipment, Ice Hunt knows that if he takes off that set of militia equipment, he will be equipped with the bonuses, at most he will leave a little impression of combat skills in his head, and the bonus equipment is very inconvenient in this regard.

"A true Frankish knight is not the kind of person who can do it with bonus equipment, they have been trained since childhood, whether it is combat skills or other knowledge, bonus equipment can only make them grow faster

As he spoke, the emotion and nostalgia that reappeared in Xiao Hearn's tone made Himryu accustomed to the other party's nostalgic performance.

"The Falac are an excellent cavalry people, they follow the knightly tradition of their own people, just like we Goths follow our own guard tradition, in their tradition the knights are low-level nobles with fiefs and retinues, some high-status knights even have their own castles, armies and vast fiefs comparable to ordinary lords, and almost all Frankish lords have the status of knights, in order to distinguish themselves from the troops called knights trained directly through functional buildings, They added a lot of personality to the traditional knights, and then called the class of troops trained in the stables called the conscription cavalry. ”

"The quality of the equipment generated from the training building can only be regarded as average, and the truly sophisticated equipment can only be crafted and strengthened from the blacksmith shop of the functional building. In order to improve their strength, those fighters are willing to spend a lot of money to replace their equipment. ”

"And many forces are beginning to imitate the Frankish tradition, because this can create a cavalry force with super combat effectiveness, and now many non-Rankian forces also have their own regular knights, who are also our main armor customers."

As little Hearn chatted, he came to the door of a splendid manor house where the Hearn family had migrated and built, and the entire city of Bologna had been built on the basis of this lord's manor, which was originally nothing more than a manor called ' The town center can be regarded as a small fortress, which can be used to shelter the lords when necessary, and can also hoard supplies and provide shelter for the lords in normal times, and later the city of Bologna was built, this town center lost its original role, so the Hearn family expanded it into the lord's office and the residence of the family members.

He was about to meet this lord, and Ice Hunt suddenly felt very nervous, what if this lord was a dull and cruel guy who didn't match his morals? I heard that there were many famous and hardcore in medieval European lords......

Thinking of this, the red hair, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't help but shudder, and the image of a long-haired blonde girl with a big bow suddenly flashed in his mind, echoing his cranky thoughts just now, but Bing Hunt didn't remember that he had ever seen this person.

He couldn't help but look back at Knock and Marisa behind him, who had been silent all the way from the boat to here.

Marisa's appearance looks even more nervous than Ice Hunt, because this is where the lord lives, although Daddy Misty Rain once had a noble status, but that is only in the past tense, for girls who have regarded themselves as commoners since childhood, the aristocratic class is a high existence, born to be a glorious existence, and the script of this world has not yet been carried out by the time the Declaration of Human Rights is promulgated.

Dongdong looked at Marisa's nervous appearance, so he clenched her hand with concern, and the two walked here hand in hand, Xiao Maoyu has no class concept, in the world of Dongdong, big Maoyu, small Maoyu, black Maoyu, and white Maoyu (...... ), embarrassed Mao Yu, all of them are Mao Yu, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, human beings are the same, good people, bad guys, big bad guys, red-haired bad guys, Mr. Uejo are all the same human beings, as for the aristocratic class? What is the common class? Knock Knock doesn't understand at all.

The girl's smart eyes glanced around, her little head looked restlessly, there was no seriousness at all, she herself didn't seem to realize this at all, even if she wanted to be serious, the tiger meow on her head would turn seriousness into joy.

'Well...... If this lord is a lolicon, it will be miserable. It's a hassle with two small children. Ice Hunter was no longer nervous, and he followed little Hearn into the manor, and the group walked through the front porch and was led by the servant to the backyard of the manor.

Bing Hunt felt that the area of this backyard alone was larger than the fitness plaza near his house, and the buildings in the manor, each of which was much more magnificent than the European-style villas he had seen before.

At last, they stopped at a gazebo that strangely had no guards, only a brown-haired teenager and a blonde girl younger than Dongdong sitting across from each other, seemingly playing some kind of board game.

"My lord, the last shipment has arrived, and I'm back." Little Hearn walked straight to the young man and bowed.

Then he smiled at the blonde girl and said hello, "Long time no see, miss." The older you get, the more beautiful you get. ”

"Thank you. Uncle Blue, that's right! Where did you say you found the swordsman? Let me meet him! ”

This brown-haired guy must be the lord in Hearn's mouth, he looks a little older than Ice Hunt, but his eyes are still full of the vitality of a young man, to be honest, he doesn't look like a calm and cunning lord at all, but like a lord young master.

Under the influence of various online literature, Ice Hunt doesn't have a good impression of the role of feudal lords, and taking a dog leg to the street to tease the protagonist's girlfriend or secretly plotting a big conspiracy is what these guys should do, and like this......

"Don't be surprised, the lord is like this, just get used to it slowly." Hearn noticed the strange expression on Ice Hunt's face, he must not have thought it was strange, whether it was in terms of age, behavior, or personality, his nephew was a strange among the lords.

Ice Hunt was a little confused in the face of this big man who was about the same as himself, he didn't know what to do, and Dongdong looked at the brown-haired guy curiously with Tiger Meow in his arms, and he didn't say anything, only the most nervous Marisa reacted.

"Lord...... My lord, I wish you a long life. As she spoke, she wanted to bend down to make a plebeian to meet the lord, but as soon as she bent down halfway and reached out to the young man to support her, Marisa was suddenly a little frightened, and her whole body froze.

She didn't know who she was, and she didn't know the great favor of the royal family to all the goths, except for some wolf-hearted people, no one who knew about the Goth lords dared to let a royal descendant salute her, and the other party's blood was nobler than all the nobles.

"Ah...... Lord, I wish you a long life......" The reaction of Ice Hunt wanted to salute with an awkward expression, but was stopped by the other party.

"You are not my subject or subject, so there is no need to salute me."

The young man said and looked at Ice Hunt with very sincere eyes.

"Uncle Blue has already told me something about you. You're a powerful samurai, and your track record makes me a little ...... Unbelievable. Either way, thank you for protecting my people on behalf of me, who is not up to my duties. ”

"Ah...... That one...... There's really nothing ...... about this thing I...... Hmmm......"

Ice Hunt, who can usually speak well, turned out to be dumb, because the lord in front of him completely exceeded the image he expected.

If it's a hypocritical and proud guy, then Ice Hunt will have a farts slap over without any pressure, and by the way, he will get three tickets to the East and a travel fee, Ice Hunt is definitely not the kind of person with a hard character, he has his own standards for dignity.

If the other party is an ambitious guy, then Bing Hunt will be vain and wronged, and then when the other party relaxes his attention, he will fly away with a part of his finances, and hang a seal or something that Guan Wusheng will do, and Bing Hunt is not interested in imitating the ancients.

If the other party is a disgusting, or has some intentions for Dongdong......

Do you think that an empty-handed ghost swordsman can't beat the dead?

But the other party's face shining with sincerity made this red hair that didn't stop in his heart and planned to be stupid on the spot.

'Is this a script?' Weren't the ancient lords cruel and greedy exploiters? Shouldn't it be a guy with a corrupt private life and ignorance and stupidity? Isn't it a handful of careerists who want to destroy the world? What's just going on in front of me? ’

"That's right. I forgot to introduce myself...... My name is Theodoric Hearn, and if you think it's too long, you can just call me Dior! ”

This lord seems to be a guy who is not good at reading people's expressions, he didn't care about Ice Hunt's weird expression and directly began to introduce himself, and after introducing himself, he pushed out the girl who had been hiding behind him since the beginning of the conversation, and then explained in the other party's timid and reluctant expression.

"This little scared child is my sister, Maaluberry Hearn! …… Ji?! ”

The lord was bitten hard by his dissatisfied sister.

'This thing...... Not a lord! I definitely don't admit that this guy is a lord! How could this kind of stupid brother and sister selling cuteness appear in a loveless existence like the lord? Could it be that I've been hallucinating from over-replenishing Dongdong's energy recently?! ’

But no matter how Ice Hunt denied it, this unreliable brown-haired boy was indeed the lord of Bologna, and this lord valued his martial arts very much, and threw three choices directly in front of him.

Become a member of the lord's guard, just like the foggy and rainy dad back then.

Joining Bologna's military system, he can start directly as the manager of a military camp.

Swear allegiance to the lord and, after being tested, serve as the chief of martial arts of Bologna, which is the status of the lord's vassal.

Obviously, he and his uncle had exchanged information in advance, and he had an understanding of Ice Hunt's abilities, and from the three choices he gave, it could be seen that this lord had no intention of letting Ice Hunt go at all.

However, Hearn Jr. saw that Ice Hunt was in a mess and had no choice to make, so he suggested that Theodoric give him a little time to choose.

As a result, Ice Hunt and Dongdong were left directly in this manor.
