Introduce the main hall and sit in order of priority.

The old duke's thin body tilted slightly, trying to get as close to me as possible, and his voice was low, but not clear: "I heard a report from someone who said that you have something important to see, say, what is the important matter?" ”

Glancing at Harold, I nodded and said, "Here's how it is......"

After repeating the conversation with the orc king to the old duke, the old man nodded and said, "So, Your Majesty agrees to this matter?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Your Majesty just recognized the feasibility of this matter and said that I would arrange it at my discretion, but the juniors still heard what His Majesty meant, so they came here in a hurry and asked the seniors to decide this matter." ”

The old duke smiled, stroked his chest-length white beard, his face was full of satisfaction, and said modestly: "Oh, you see, I will say that our Majesty is too foreign, this little matter, he can't solve it himself, why send you here to ask for advice?" ”

I despised him in my heart, but there was a smile on my face, and I said: "Oh, old duke, you say this, but the biggest misunderstanding of our majesty, you must know that in the eyes of your majesty, the real pillar of Dasai City is not the dignitaries, nor the prime minister of Lesta, but you, the elder of the three dynasties." ”

"That's too much," said the old duke, shaking his hand, "Lesta is my wise minister of Dasai City, and can be called the mind of His Majesty, how can I compare with him?" ”

"In terms of statecraft and strategy, Lesta's predecessors may be a cut above you, but when it comes to fighting with soldiers and expanding the territory, he is not on the horse" I said seriously: "Although the younger generation does not learn and has no skills, but he has been mixed in the streets and alleys all the year round, and I have heard a lot of legends related to you, saying that you followed your ancestors and fought with Ari City and Yorkham City at the same time, and once you and your ancestors were ambushed and besieged, and when facing an army twice as large as yourself, not only was you fearless, but even led the team to take the lead, Tear open a gap in the opponent's army, escort the ancestors of His Majesty out of danger, afterwards, in front of all the people, His Majesty gave you the title of 'Brave Champion Three Armies', you are one of the few heroes in the long history of Dasai City who have been given the title of Brave Champion and Three Armies, this alone is enough to leave a name in history and shine for a thousand years! ”

After a sycophant slap on the itch, the old duke's wrinkled old face bloomed with a chrysanthemum-like smile.

The old duke said: "You kid, you talk in a set way, which is better than the songs you sing." ”

"That's not right," I pretended to be displeased, and said, "Singing is only for the pleasure of the body and mind, but it doesn't matter if it's true or not, and I'm telling the truth, and I can't mix it with any falsehood, how can the two be compared?" ”

The old duke smiled and said, "But I said the wrong thing and wronged you." ”

I was stunned suddenly, and then slapped myself, and said: "Oh, look at me, I actually complained about my predecessors in such small details, I really shouldn't be, I hope that my seniors are not to blame, but listen to the punishment." ”

The old duke waved his hand and said, "If you know your mistakes, you can improve it, besides, you are still a child, and I have a good impression of you as a child, so I won't blame you, but well, this punishment is still necessary." ”

"Please send the seniors, and the juniors will obey the order."

"It's not that serious," the old duke laughed and said, "It's to punish you, and I'll have a drink with the old man today." ”

I bowed and said, "Don't dare to disobey the juniors." ”

After that, the old duke first ordered someone to buy a dinner, and then looked at Harold and said lightly: "Listen to Xiao Yi, you took the initiative to ask for help, and you want to calm the chaos with me?" ”

Harold hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes." ”

"Xiao Yi, this kid is very accurate and knowledgeable, I believe in him, but I don't believe in you" The old duke picked up the teaglass, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "However, it is not impossible to make me believe in you, you answer me a few questions first, do you really want to act with the army?" ”

Harold looked grim and said, "Yes, my lord, I'm sure I'm going to do it." ”

The old duke smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Those are your former compatriots, can you do it?" ”

Harold decisively said, "Yes, I can." ”

"Hmph" The old duke suddenly snorted coldly and said coldly: "You can do it to your compatriots, how can I trust you?" ”

Harold looked panicked, and immediately turned his eyes to me, I frowned, nodded at him imperceptibly, and then glanced to the side, no longer looking at him.

The old duke is a third-generation veteran, regardless of qualifications, vision, and means are the best among people, and the ability to observe words and colors is rare in the world, if you want to give you a hint in front of such a person, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky, and the nod just now is the maximum limit I can do, and the rest can only rely on yourself to ask for more blessings.

Harold looked flustered and undecided, sweating on his forehead, his clothes were wet, and for a while, he was a little overwhelmed.

The old duke's expression was still cold, and the eyes that looked at Harold were as sharp as a needle crossbow.

After being stunned for a long time, Harold said: "Before I took the initiative to ask Ying, I always regarded those people as my friends, brothers, and compatriots, during that time, I struggled for a long time, and I suffered for a long time, I tried to convince myself more than once, but I found that I was short of words, and I couldn't find a reason to move me, so I struggled for a long time in this entanglement." ”

He paused, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "After that, Xiao Yi came and said to me, 'Can you bear to see those who are good to you, like family, After the sentence "have you been wantonly abused and killed by your so-called compatriots?", I finally figured it out, and I also found a reason to take the initiative to ask for help, that is, when I fled here, reduced to the lowest level of civilians, homeless, it was not those my former compatriots who gave me food, took me in accommodation, and extended a helping hand to me, but strangers in Dasai City, who seemed to have nothing to do with me, and even different races, I always wanted to repay the kindness, and wanted to find a suitable opportunity to do something for them, to repay this kindness, my lord, I beg you, give me this opportunity, let me use practical actions, to repay everyone's kindness to me！ ”

Speaking of this, he burst into tears and had a face flowing.

The old duke was silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Harold, I also hurriedly stood up, grabbed the old duke's left arm, and secretly praised in my heart: Awesome, this acting skill is incurable.

The old man stretched out his right hand, patted Harold on the shoulder, sighed, and said: "It's me who blames you, not only are you not a ruthless person, but you are also a grateful person who knows how to repay your kindness, well, for Xiao Yi's sake, I believe in you, this time to quell the chaos, you can also come." ”

Harold was so excited that he thanked him and burst into tears.
