Chapter 5 Is This a Slap in the Face?
The conversation in the tavern continued, as if reading through Leo's thoughts, and Auston kindly persuaded him
"Leo, I know that your territory is temporarily short of talent, but I really don't recommend you to consider this person Pericles Setopia, his quirks and personality are probably not tolerated by nobles......"
Probably afraid that Leo would be disappointed, he added, "When I have time, Antonis and I will accompany you to the Imperial University, many children of small noble families will be very willing to get a certain position under your command, of course, in all fairness, I am afraid that they are not as good as Pericles in terms of ability."
"I understand Auston, but I still want to try it when I have time, such a person should not be drunk and die in a dark alley where no one is around, or be thrown into prison after offending too many people, the talent given to him by God should serve the Empire!"
With an apologetic look at Auston, Leo said, "Well, forget about the poor professor, for the invitation of Lord Duke Lancaster in the near future, I need your ...... in terms of gifts."
"Sigh and ......" "Bang~~ Bang Bang!"
Before Leo could finish his sentence, the neighing of horses was heard outside the previously quiet door, and then in the midst of a noisy and loud conversation, someone slammed the door outside the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Damn it!"
The Marquis of Auston frowned and muttered, shouting to Sophia, who was alarmed and walking towards the door, "Honey, I remember that you have hung up a sign that is closed!" ā
The beautiful green eyes glanced at the Marquis again, and Sophia also wondered in her heart, not knowing whether she had made a mistake or if it was a group of illiterate reckless men who came.
"Bang dang~~"
Sophia, who was a little depressed, just walked near the door, and before she could reach out to open the door, the not too strong door was suddenly kicked open by someone outside, and with the cold wind blowing in suddenly, Sophia was also brought to the ground by the door in surprise......
"Slut, who gave you the audacity to let the earl's son wait outside, huh?"
Some of the dimly lit rooms suddenly darkened and then lit up again, and a burly knight in light chainmail with his hand on the hilt of his sword stooped in, his pimpled face was annoying, perhaps because of the arrogant habit he had cultivated for a long time, so that he did not even look at the situation in the room
Walked straight up to the boss lady who fell to the ground, crouched down and grabbed Sophia's long golden hair, and pulled the latter up directly in a painful moan.
"Okay Hogg, how do I usually teach you, we can't be so rough with beautiful women, let go of your hand, I already feel a little distressed!"
The flirtatious voice was a little piercing and sharp, and as the words came a young man turned out from behind the knight, his eyebrows were vaguely indistinct, but the thin body and the coughing sound with a little echo from time to time all indicated that there was something wrong with the health of the person who came.
The effect of alcohol made both Leo and Auston a little sluggish, and before they could say anything, they saw that this young man, who was supposed to be a nobleman, had already touched Sophia's face with a squint, and his mouth was still slurking
"What smooth skin, little beauty, I said before that unless you leave the imperial capital, sooner or later I will get you hands on you and take care of you, I didn't expect you to dare to stay here, but I also let Hogg lead people to guard outside the city for a few days......"
As he spoke, the young man's other hand wrapped his arms around Sophia's seductive little waist
"Bastard"
If you can't react at this time, unless the Marquis of Auston is a real fool, the shame of being ignored, and the fact that his lover is molested in front of him, this is something that no man can tolerate, let alone a noble marquis with royal blood.
With the scolding, he reacted first, but the knight leader of the marquis family, who was suffering from not getting the order, "boomed" directly knocked over the table and rushed over, without any nonsense, he directly hit the young nobleman in the face, and at the same time protected Sophia behind him.
Those who have not experienced it will probably have no way of knowing the horror of being punched in the face with all the strength of a regular knight with a metal gauntlet......
The young nobleman's body flew backwards uncontrollably, and the person was still in mid-air, and in an instant, nosebleeds gushed out, during which he could clearly see several front teeth mixed in them, and his unclear face also had a clear depression......
"Choke!" Seeing that his master was hurt, the knight known as Hogg drew his long sword directly from his waist without thinking about it
"You ******......"
While cursing in his mouth, he viciously raised the blade in his hand towards the marquis knight leader
"Finn!"
Seeing that the situation was developing in an unpredictable direction, Leo shouted loudly behind him, and before the words fell, Finn, who had been on guard at the first time, rushed towards Hogg like lightning
Without delay, he grabbed Hogg's sword-wielding right arm with one hand, and while slamming it behind him, his left arm bent his elbow sideways and slammed into Hogg's chest with a bone cracking sound, and the terrifying force caused the high-quality chain mail to be horribly twisted
Taking the long sword that the other party had subconsciously released in pain, Finn twisted slightly to let the blood spurt out of Hogg's mouth, raised his foot and kicked it to the ground, and the long sword in his hand pressed against his throat.
In the flash of light, before anyone could even react, the Grand Master of the Punishment Knight had already burst out with terrifying combat power, instantly subduing Hogg, who was also a knight.
The thrill just now also made the knight of the marquis's family afraid for a while, and after nodding at Fein gratefully, he also drew his weapon in annoyance, as the head of the marquis's family knights, when had he been treated like this, and the guard of a little earl dared to take the lead in drawing his sword in a fight......
At this time, several other knights of Auston also quickly followed, and the knight leader turned his head and saw that his master had no intention of stopping him, and with a hideous smile on his face, he raised his feet and walked towards the nobleman who was beaten by him outside the door
However, the remaining guards outside the door also took out their weapons when they saw this, and firmly protected the unconscious master in the center, seeing such a situation, how could the marquis's guards let their leader suffer
The two of them were guarding in front of Auston and Sophia, respectively, and the rest of them also drew their long swords, and for a while, the sound of weapons unsheathed outside the tavern door was endless......
The confrontation between the two sides made it impossible for Leo to continue to sit at this time, and with his order, Keith, who had long been eager to try, made a burst of popping knuckles in both fingers, and stood up with a smile, a bloodthirsty chuckle appeared on the corner of Aldalian's mouth, and the closing bow that did not leave his side for a moment had already quietly slipped into his palm
As for which side to help? Is this still a problem? Together with the marquis, he persuaded the sobbing Sophia back to the inner room, and Leo, who didn't know the nobles of the imperial capital, was a little worried
"Auston, are we going to get you in trouble by doing this? I thought I heard his bodyguard calling him the son of an earl."
Reaching out and stuffing the silk scarf that had just helped Sophia wipe her tears into his arms, the usually gentle marquis rarely brought a little coldness, and replied as he walked to the door
"In the imperial capital, except for Antonis and a limited few, there is no earl that I Auston can't mess with, and this little cub of the Benny family in front of me, his father is definitely not one of them......"
