Chapter 8 Meetings

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." DeWitt shouted

A young minotaur guard ran in. Seeing that his adult's face didn't seem to be very good, the guard chuckled in his heart, it couldn't be that he came by himself. But the responsibility is still hard to speak.

"My lord, there's a young man out there who wants to see you, and he says it's your nephew."

"Nephew? I'm just a younger brother, a nephew from somewhere. DeWitt was surprised for a while, his parents only had two children, himself and Harlan, and where did this relative come from.

"Oh, by the way, he gave me a pendant, and he said you'll know when you see it." The guard suddenly thought of something, took out a red gourd pendant and respectfully handed it over.

Devitt took the pendant, feeling that the thing in front of him seemed a little familiar, and after pondering for a while, something suddenly came to mind.

"It's her."

I can't imagine that more than ten years have passed, and I can still see the things of the old people today. The little girl who liked to follow her ass many years ago came to mind, and a smile involuntarily hung on her mouth. Remembering the incident back then, DeWitt sighed.

After a little thought, DeWitt decided to meet him.

Although so many years have passed, he is still the son of his cousin, and it is unreasonable to not even see him. Besides, even if you have a request for yourself, there are not many things that you can't solve with your own identity and status.

"Well, you take him to the parlor first, and I'll go over in a while." Duke DeWitt looked up and said.

"Yes!"

The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the order and ran out.

"My lord, do you really have a nephew?" Fawkes asked curiously, he had been following the Duke for more than ten years, and he had never heard of any nephews of the Duke.

DeWitt picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said softly: "It's normal that you don't know, after all, my cousin and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I don't know how she's doing now." ”

The entrance to the Duke's Palace.

Barr had been waiting here for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, he hasn't been in touch for more than ten years, even if he has a relationship with his mother, he must be separated, and it is reasonable for the duke not to see him. Thinking of this, Barr frowned, in case Duke DeWitt didn't see him, it would be better to think of another way.

Boredom kicking the pebbles on the ground, Barr waited quietly.

To say that this Devit, as a duke, lives a simple life. In Barr's cognition, the dignified Duke's Mansion must be a pavilion and magnificent. But now, in addition to the courtyard being high enough at the gate, it is similar to the courtyard of the rich man in the south of the city.

"Dirt buns!"

A crisp and pleasant voice came from the front.

"Hey! The dirt bun standing at the door said what about you. ”

Barr hurriedly looked behind him, but found no other dirt buns, and his eyes suddenly became unkind. Dare to say that my brother is a dirt bun, can such a noble minotaur be a dirt bun?

"Huh?"

Looking up, a little Lori with a pink carving was standing in the courtyard looking at herself. He is not tall, six or seven years old, wearing a princess dress and short black hair. The two small horns on the top of the head are still recognizable at a glance, this is a small minotaur. In the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, Barr decided not to worry about the children.

"Who are you, little man?" Barr asked politely.

When the little Lori on the other side heard this, she was immediately so angry that her face turned red, and her voice became higher in an instant.

"Who do you call a dwarf? You're the dwarf! Your whole family is a dwarf!! This is my home, Tubaozi, believe it or not, I asked someone to beat you. ”

"Big boss, someone is bullying me, come and help" Little Lori turned around and shouted. In an instant, a strong man like a black bear rushed out of the courtyard, with a large axe as high as a man in his hand, which looked like a black whirlwind. Before the person was close, a loud shout came.

"Who doesn't have long eyes dares to bully my young lady! I don't want to get mixed up!! ”

Seeing her helper coming, little Lori instantly became proud, and stretched out her hand to point at Barr.

"Lao Hei, it's him, beat him!"

As soon as Barr saw this situation, he roughly understood that this little Lori should be the daughter of Duke Nord. When Barr came, he inquired about it, and the Duke of DeWitt had a son and a daughter, and the son served in the army, and the daughter must be the one in front of him.

Seeing that the black man was about to rush towards him, Barr's heart tightened, this body, he must not be a person when he fights, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, this is all a misunderstanding, I am the nephew of the Duke, and I am here to visit my uncle today."

Hearing this, the black man stopped instantly.

"You're the Duke's nephew?"

"yes."

Heihan hesitated suddenly, if this was really the duke's nephew, it would not be easy to do. After all, he is a relative of his own adult, and he beat people here, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain when the time comes.

When Little Lori saw it, she was immediately unhappy, and ran over angrily, looking like she was going to do it herself.

Barr was helpless for a while, he didn't want to be beaten, but he couldn't do anything with a child, and when he was hesitating whether to run or not, the guard who had just gone to report to the Duke finally returned.

Seeing his young lady's angry appearance, the guard was surprised for a moment, but it was still the duke's order that mattered. The guard hurriedly walked up to Baal and said with a respectful face: "This little young master, Lord Duke, please go to the living room and wait for him, come with me, and the villain will take you over." ”

"Trouble this big brother." Barr politely returned the salute

"Young master, you're polite."

Seeing that Barr was so polite to a subordinate like himself, the guard's impression of Barr suddenly improved a lot.

When little Lori heard that her father wanted to see this dumpling, she suddenly lost interest. He pouted and said, "Cut!" Look at your pitiful appearance, I'll let you go this time. ”

After speaking, he ignored everyone and ran away.

Barr was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and followed the guard in front of him.

It is worthy of the Duke's Palace, although it is not well repaired, but this area is large, and it took seven or eight minutes to walk in a twist and turn, and finally arrived at the destination.

After introducing Barr into the house, the guards left.

It can be seen that the Duke is not a person who loves luxury, and the layout of the living room is very simple and elegant. Opposite the doorway was a main seat, with a row of tables and chairs on the left and right, and Barr sat down on a chair near the left. At this time, a maid came up with tea. After taking a sip of tea, Barr waited quietly.

Soon.

Barr saw a tall middle-aged minotaur walk in through the door, dressed in a noble dress, and although his temples were a little white, he still looked heroic.

DeWitt was also observing the son of the sister in front of him. Although he was dressed plainly, he was so calm and relaxed when he first came to this duke's mansion, without the slightest arrogance, which is very rare among the minotaurs, well, not bad.

Looking up, Barr recognized this as Devitt Thunder's Fury.

Of course, it is estimated that as long as people see the big words "Archon of Fury City: DeWitt Thunder Fury" clearly displayed on the top of the person's head, they should not be mistaken.

Barr hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "I've seen Lord Duke." ”

"Hahaha, you're Emily's son, don't be so restrained, sit down."

DeWitt walked over with a smile, patted Barr on the shoulder, and sat down in the seat opposite.

"You're Barr, don't be so inhibited, sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Duke," Ba smiled and sat down.

"Your name is Barr, right, if you don't dislike it, call me uncle." DeWitt said with emotion: "I can't imagine that after so many years, Emily's son is so old, is your mother doing well?" ”

"I heard from my grandfather that my parents disappeared shortly after giving birth to me, and they have not been heard from for more than ten years." Barr said gloomily, to be honest, he was also very curious about his parents, Barr.

"Oh, and such a thing?" After hearing this, De Witt's brows furrowed slightly, "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will inform you if there is news." ”

"Thank you, uncle," Barr replied gratefully

DeWitt's face softened, and he looked at Barr.

"But don't worry too much, they'll be fine. Do you want your uncle to help you with something this time? If anything, to put it bluntly, my words still carry some weight in this angry city. ”

After all, he is his cousin's son, and now that her cousin is missing, this nephew should take care of it himself.

Barr didn't go around the bend either, and spoke directly.

"Uncle, I need 100,000 gold coins, so I came to my uncle today to ......"

Before Barr could finish speaking, DeWitt's face changed. I originally wanted to help this kid in my sister's face, but I didn't expect this kid to be so ignorant and open his mouth to himself. You must know that 100 gold coins is enough for an ordinary orc family to spend for a year, and life can be quite good. In an instant, DeWitt's tone became heavy.

"Young man is so big, do you know how much 100,000 gold coins are?"

Looking at DeWitt's appearance, he obviously mistakenly thought that he was here to blackmail money, Barr didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, I don't want this money for nothing, I'll exchange things for it." ”

"Something for a change? What can you come up with? ”

DeWitt looked at Barr with suspicion, he wanted to see what else this kid could do today.
