CHAPTER 40 - THE COUNCIL OF NOBLES
After chasing and killing the Dark Curser for more than ten hours, Lu Ming, like the others, slept until noon and didn't get up.
It's just that unlike the other people who chased and killed the large number of dark cursed people who suddenly appeared in the city yesterday, because of a meeting in the afternoon, Lu Ming had to take a shower and change into a clean suit under the service of Sham and Lily.
Before going out, Lu Ming put on his own coat of arms, the flange bite sword wolf coat of arms, to prove his noble status.
Looking at Viscount Hatu, who was sitting in the living room, only six or seven years old, sitting precariously, that is, Sham Hatu's younger brother, Lu Ming not only felt that Sham's father was a bull, but also felt that Sham was a little too strict with his younger brother.
"Ready? Mka. Putting on new shoes and taking Piheim's magic staff, Lu Ming slowly found Viscount Hatu and asked.
"Well, brother-in-law!" Muka Hatu, the current viscount of the Hatu family, nodded, and then was picked up by Lu Ming and went out to attend a meeting to discuss who the new lord should be.
As the first generation of nobles of the Lu family, Lu Ming, who is only a baron, and Muka, who is only six years old from an ancient aristocratic family, actually have no right to speak. The reason why they want to go to the conference is just to give the nobles a façade.
Sitting in the carriage, Muka didn't relax slightly until he couldn't see Sham, which made Lu Ming feel a little funny.
"Mka, give." It could be seen that the little guy was under a lot of pressure, so Lu Ming took out two cans of apple soda and a large bag of sandwich biscuits from the package bar to let the little one relax.
Knowing that his sister was now listening to her brother-in-law Lu Ming's words, Muka did not hesitate and began to eat and drink. swept away the previous look of being so nervous that he was about to faint at Lu Ming's house.
However, Lu Ming and Muka ate and drank happily, and a servant who sat in the carriage with the two of them suffered.
Muka was going to eat biscuits, so he was holding Muka's share of apple soda. If one accidentally spills on the body of a viscount or baron, then he has nothing but the fate of waiting to be hanged. Of course, he also mixed a few cookies, which was not for nothing.
And while Lu Ming and Muka were eating and drinking, in the conference room of the Lord's Mansion, several nobles from all sides were talking about something in their respective small circles. Only the sons and daughters of Countess Luyanali, as if they were alone, sat there stunned, not knowing what they should do.
Except for Hax, who knew a little about what to expect later, both Yusaha and Fren were nervous to death.
This meeting was organized because of yesterday's ravages of the Dark Cursed. The goal is to elect a lord who can lead the people, and to organize the cleansing of the dark cursed people in the Helen Forest outside the city.
As the children of the previous lord, the chances of the three Yusaha are unusually high. But the problem is that when more than half of the nobles don't agree to let the three of them become lords, the three of them will be divided into viscounts, eat at home and wait for death, and don't think about the territory in this life.
It just so happened that the mother of the three of them, Countess Louyanali Thatch, made a very bad impression on the entire aristocracy of Nivelheim. This has resulted in a much smaller chance of the three of them inheriting the territory!
Of course, if they have a good impression of the other nobles, they can still let one of them inherit the territory.
"What to do? What to do? Now this situation is not good for me! Looking at the meeting that was now organized because the countess did not leave a will because of his own impatience, Yusaha was very anxious.
Once again, she was completely unprepared for this sudden meeting, and knew that there would probably be no one to support her. I can't help but feel a little regret for my impatience.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world, so the matter has come to this point, and regret has no effect.
"Yusaha, are you alright?" Just when Yusaha was a little desperate, Baron Medivin Arms, the culprit who caused her to break up with Lu Ming, and several barons came over.
"I'm fine. What are you guys doing? "Yusaha is a little strange about the barons who came to her side, not knowing what to do.
Medivin smiled, then said, "For the sake of Lord Eldridge, we plan to elect you!" ”
As soon as he heard Medivan's words, Yusaha's pupils suddenly shrank.
"You too," she asked, looking at the guys, incredulous.
"Yes! Otherwise, why would you buy the Moonlight Arrow in Cold Valley? Medivan smiled and spread his arms and said, "Isn't it just to let Nivelheim have as few people as possible with moonlight arrows, so that the Netherworld Church can develop in Nivelheim?" ”
Yusaha was silent. She had heard about Eldridge from Lu Ming's side.
In Lu Ming's mouth, Eldridge is a priest who likes to eat people. Because there were too many people who ate it, it was eroded by the curse and turned into a lump of mud.
Unexpectedly, now Eldridge wants to do something to Nivelheim.
"Is that so? So, how can you make me the new lord? Yusaha, who longs for recognition, does not care about the influence of the Church of the Shadows after Niferheimza's death. Her only idea is to become a lord and use the power of the Dark Church to create a unique magic academy.
Although Yusaha was surprised that several of them were Eldridge's people, he did not object to the Dark Church. Medivan and the others couldn't help but laugh, pretending not to tell Yusaha what they thought.
Not far away, Fren saw a few barons on Yusaha's side, and his brother Hax's side also had one or two viscounts, but there was no one with him. I couldn't help but know that I had no chance, so I left the conference room and went to find my fiancée.
And the others who saw him leave also crossed him off the shortlist very directly.
Viscount Saldaró, who was sitting in the middle seat, looked at the mess in the conference room and was very upset. Because the countess was stabbed to death, she did not have any will. And now this meeting is just a helpless move. If it were possible, he would not be at all like holding such a meeting that would allow the ambitions of the forces to grow!
"Baron Lu, you were really brave yesterday! There are a total of 21 monsters, 9 of which you will kill, and the others will only be able to compare with you if they are combined! ”
"But my side was also the worst casualties. Of the 100 people, only 39 survived in the end. It's really nothing to praise. ”
"But the 39 people on your side, or the people in other places, wouldn't have survived without the bonfires you made. Isn't it? ”
"Perhaps."
At this moment, Lu Ming and Muka, as well as several nobles who were as late as them, entered the conference room.
Seeing that the viscount was sitting at the table in the middle of the conference room, and the baron could only sit on the periphery, Lu Ming carried Mka to an empty viscount's seat, while he sat behind Mka.
Seeing this scene, a person already knew that Lu Ming had become friends with the Hatu family. This sword-biting wolf who fought bravely yesterday, many nobles wanted to win it over to their side, but they didn't admit that they wanted to be preempted by the wasp of Mukka!
However, the nobles who didn't have time to win over Lu Ming just felt pity. However, Yusaha and Saldalo were unusually surprised by Lu Ming's friendship with the Hatu family. After all, Lu Ming and the Hatu family are enemies. It can even be said that the Hartu family has declined and is targeted by various forces.
But now the sword-biting wolf, which was no longer kind, had bared its fangs and walked with the wasps in the hive. I had to get the two of them together.
Lu Ming is the one who knows the undead, the geismans, and the monsters of the forest best. And Viscount Saldalore is an indispensable person if he wants to investigate the conspiracies of the undead and the geyers, as well as the nobles.
But now, even if he helps, he will cover up the matter about the Hatu family, which makes Saldalo very depressed.
And Yu Saha, who was Lu Ming's fiancée before, found it even more difficult to accept Lu Ming's alliance with Hatu.
However, whether or not to accept it has nothing to do with the meeting. A meeting that should be started will not be held because of a person or something.
At the prompting of Viscount Alta, Viscount Saldaro Hetiste, son of Grand Duke Ramtes Hetist, stood up, cleared his throat slightly, and then said to all the nobles present: "Today, we are going to elect a new lord of the territory of Nifelheim. So please come up with a few suitable candidates! ”
"I think we should respect the will of Countess Luyanali Thatch and elect Young Master Harx Thatch to succeed Nivelheim."
"I disagree! In the whole city of Paris, it is known that Young Master Harks does not have much of an enterprising spirit. Having such a man become a lord would leave Nivelheim behind the rest of the territory of Errepol! ”
"And Baron Medivin Arms, who are your candidates?"
"My choice is the Countess's daughter, Lady Yusaha Thatch!"
"As a son and daughter of the countess, how can you assume that Young Master Yusahabi Haks is more aggressive?"
"As you know, Lady Yusaha Thatchi has always wanted to establish an academy of magic in Nivelheim. So, isn't such an ideal a proof of Ms. Yusaha's enterprising spirit? ”
Listening to the people of Hax and Yusaha arguing there, Lu Ming felt very bored. But the next sentence of the viscount on Hax's side made him unable to calm down.
"As far as I know, the Lady Yousaha Thatch, whom you support, is the illegitimate daughter of the countess! It is lowly without inheritance! Not to mention, she's no longer a virgin! ”――
was so miserable by what you said, I had to change the previous article.
