"I'm not a war-loving person, I hate senseless killing, and maintaining a strong deterrent to surrender without a fight is the ultimate goal, but unfortunately this time I have to make up my mind hastily, this is not about any sense of justice, but - we all urgently need to get in touch with this strange world, contact with the aristocracy of this era......"

- Leo Chang

The fireplaces on either side of the hall made intermittent "crackling" wood crackling sounds, and the fully burning energy brought a lazy warmth to the entire space, except for the occasional chewing and whispering of the knights

Leo sat on his throne, holding his chin in one hand and staring at the burning fireplace, the flickering light of the fire reflecting dark shadows of different lengths on his face, while his mind was constantly thinking about the impact of this sudden incident on his new power, or what benefits it would bring.

Sean in the corner didn't dare to let Leodore wait, after all, in this era, a nobleman doesn't need any reason to punish a soldier, not to mention that from the environment here, this lord must be a noble nobleman

"Earl? No, Marquis? Even...... Duke? Sean shook his somewhat drunken head vigorously, and quickly drove out this thought that he couldn't believe, "Are you kidding, meeting an archduke here?" How can it be. ”

The knight who was waiting on the side saw Sean standing up, and he didn't talk nonsense, and he walked to Leo a few meters away and stopped

"Bow your head, lowly one, and maintain enough respect in front of the adults, and do not open your mouth until the adults ask questions, and do not make any superfluous moves, otherwise! Hum. As if to strengthen his tone, the knight who led the way slapped the hilt of his sword, and then bowed slightly to Leo and took a half step back.

"Yes, honorable knight." After a short answer, Sean really closed his mouth tightly, and lowered his head deeply with a worried face, at this moment in addition to praying to God, he could only wait for the verdict of fate, fortunately, a clear and gentle voice came from above in time

"Your name? Soldier. ”

Knowing that it was the inquiry of the big man here, Sean didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied in the most respectful tone in his life, "Sean, my lord, I don't have a surname because I'm an orphan." ”

"Shut up, don't talk extra nonsense without the permission of the adults." The knight behind him pushed Sean with some annoyance, there is no way, this is the normal state in the Middle Ages, the life and death of the low-ranking and the weak are all in the hands of the higher-ups.

"Alright, my knight, don't scare him"

He waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then Leo continued, "So, Mr. Sean, can you tell me why you appeared on a dangerous winter night and suddenly rushed out of the forest to harass me without any notice?" That's why one of my most loyal commanders is out on patrol this cold night because of your mistakes. Leo, who was gradually cultivating the habits of his superiors, slowly learned to adapt to his role.

"My lord, no, my lord is not like that." Hearing Leo's muffled words, Sean became even more flustered, and hurriedly bent down and bowed in a hurry

"My lordship, I am a messenger from Nuremberg, which belongs to the merciful lord His Excellency Baron Lester Crest, and I have come to ask for help from another nearby baronial castle with a message from your lordship, and the lives of hundreds of commoners, women and children in and around the castle."

"Oh?" Fingers gently stroked his chin over the slightly raised stubble, Leo was really a little amused by this guy, and asked a little funny, "Since you are a messenger for help, then why did you come to me when you didn't go to the Baron Castle at your destination?" The last sentence was deliberately accentuated by Leo.

With his head down in a place that everyone couldn't see, Sean showed an embarrassed and aggrieved expression, but fortunately he wasn't seen by Leo, otherwise such a rough man showed this kind of expression, Leo would have to directly ask someone to push him out, "Sprinkle it!" ”

After organizing the vocabulary, Sean reluctantly spoke, "Honorable lord, I have lived in the baron's territory since I was a child, and I have never left a distance of more than 10 miles" Subconsciously scratched his itchy scalp, and continued under the murderous gaze of the knight behind him

"This time, because of the sudden arrival of the rebels, the baron's castle fell directly into a crisis, and several knights under the baron were busy fighting and defending and couldn't get out, because I was still a little brute force, so I was ordered to carry out this task with a companion."

"Oh, didn't your lord show you the way?" Knowing that civilians in this era rarely leave their birthplaces except for war, Leo is not too surprised, even in the Ming Dynasty on the earth, how many people will never leave their villages for 20 miles in their lifetimes.

It was only after Leo understood the situation from Sean's stumbling answer, who was still reluctant in language logic, that this guy was a complete road idiot, and he had lost his way after rushing out of the chaos besieging Fort Baron

The companion with him was not much stronger than Sean, he didn't know the road, and he was afraid that he would not be punished if he could not complete the task and go back, so the two rough men casually threw a branch to show the way, and ran in one direction.

As a result, the more than 50 kilometers of road were on the wrong route, and they did not have the ability to eat, drink, and survive in the wild, plus they had already suffered injuries of varying severity when they broke through, and when they reached the edge of the forest near Stormwind City, Sean's companions were unable to hold on

If it weren't for Anthony, who was on patrol, signaling to light torches and bonfires, the light attracted the two of them to rush out with the last of their physical strength, I am afraid that on this cold winter night, both of them would only be corpses the next morning.

This conversation with Sean also made Leo fall into a short period of contemplation, and he was a little hesitant for a while, on the one hand, it was an opportunity to contact with the forces of his own plane, although the other party was only a baron, but he could also be regarded as a middle-level backbone of the aristocratic group

From the mouth of this baron, Leo and the others will definitely get a lot of information about this plane, after all, as an outsider, the current Leo is almost blind to the situation in this plane.

On the other hand, Leo also has great concerns and even fears about rash contact, fearing that it will cause irreparable consequences, but after thinking about it, Leo is also relieved

"What are you afraid of, I'm not a lot of self-made seniors, of course they were worried about the intervention and plunder of external forces at the beginning, I had almost infinite money in the early days with the help of the system, as well as the terrifying Punishment Knights, and the backing of Stormwind City, but I don't know when I will have it again after the opportunity is lost, this is the best opportunity to integrate into this society."

Leo, who had paid attention in an instant, asked Finn and Keith, who were sitting at the bottom, with his eyes, and he finally wanted to hear the opinions of his two captains.

As if reading his lord's determination, following Leo's line of sight, both Finn and Keith nodded heavily, and finally the Grand Master replied in a nutshell, "This is a good opportunity, my lord." ”

Well, since the people he trusts the most have answered like this, Leo has completely let go of his concerns, looking at Sean standing stiffly, Leo who is in a good mood learns the tone of the high-ranking nobles in the film and television:

"So Sean, Leo Chang, the owner of the Great Knights of Punishment, the ruler of Stormwind, and the benevolent and wise Grand Duke of Stormwind, I ask you with my mercy if your poor, deplorable, and dangerous baron needs some crucial help from me here?"
