"Thank God, I can be so lucky, you must know that among the great majesty, among all the top nobles under his command, the swan family is the only existence that is connected with your majesty by blood, and your majesty, who was still the grand duke at that time, when I first stretched out my palm to me, I made the same move as if the soul of my ancestors possessed me, don't ask me if I regret this hasty decision, I just want to tell everyone here that all my life, the swan family follows behind your majesty, even if it is on the verge of the most difficult stage, Neither of us has ever given up or betrayed, because we have long since merged into each other, and for that, I am very proud! ”

- Lester Crester, The Rise of the Swan Family

Leo undeniably felt that he had some impulses in his heart, maybe it was the similar experience of the Swan family and himself that made him feel kind, maybe the notes of the Baron's ancestors and the Baron's previous accusations made him feel unjust, of course, for any reason, for Leo who had just taken the first step out of this plane, this was indeed an inappropriate impulse, he was like gambling, if he won the bet, he would gain a permanent ally and brother, if he lost?

"It's a punishment for immaturity on the road to growth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although he realized that he was wrong, Leo still firmly stretched out his right hand, and stared at His Excellency the Baron with burning eyes and a little expectation.

Fortunately, after seeing Leo's actions, the baron first showed a puzzled expression, and then, as if remembering something extremely important, he lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, as if he had made a very important determination, and slowly but firmly stretched out his right hand at the same time.

Watching the baron's actions, Leo smiled at the approaching baron, and in the solemn expressions of Fain and Case, he pulled out a delicate dagger from his waist as an ornament, and slowly put the sharp dagger blade into the palm of his right hand with his left hand, Leo sang in a reverent tone "Under the gaze of the gods" while holding the blade tightly with his right hand.

"Bear witness to my reputation and that of my family......" continued the baron, who was a little rusty but made the same precise movements, in a similar tone

"Since then, I have your blood in my blood......" The sharp blade slashed deep into Leo's clenched palm.

"We will be one, regardless of each other......" The Baron let go of his palm, revealing the same bloodied palm to Leo.

"We became brothers, tolerant of each other and sincere with each other," Leo also pointed his palm to the Baron's palm

"We swear to protect each other and each other's families with our lives, and never turn our backs on each other under the supervision of the gods......" The two of them finished the last vow at the same time, and their palms were clenched together, and the blood of both sides was equally inseparable from each other at this moment.

After a long time, the hands held with each other were separated under the reminder of their respective knights, and after a short period of hemostasis treatment, Leo looked at the baron, and the two let out a hearty laugh at the same time, and inserted the dagger back into his waist, Leo looked at the baron and smiled, "I think only the family that truly inherits from Pande will know this special blood oath, how lucky I am to be able to meet the descendants of my hometown in this strange environment, may health always accompany you, my brother!" ”

"May health be with you at all times, brother!" After the blood oath, the baron blessed Leo with no restraint, and then commanded in a loud voice to the servants standing around, "Today is the luckiest and happiest day for me, and our family, in order to celebrate my encounter with the Grand Duke of the Storm, Leo, and my brother, I order you to open my warehouse and cellar, and distribute food to all the civilians in the castle, so that all can come and share my generosity and joy!" ”

With that, the baron pulled his eldest son, Ken, who was in the gang, and said, "Lucky little villain, salute your uncle!" ”

Looking at Ken, who was still a half-grown child, but he saluted himself again in a serious manner, and shouted Uncle Leo's Ken in his mouth, Leo was also very happy, and finally satisfied his wish to be an elder on the earth, and he was not stingy at the moment, and directly untied the best paladin sword hanging from his waist, patted Ken's head, and handed it over with one hand, "Come, my dear Ken, I can't let your uncle scream in vain, this one-handed sword is a gift to you, I hope that in the near future, I can watch you and grow into a knight with a sense of justice and courage." and be qualified to truly inherit everything from your father! Leo, who gave the gift, was not worried, he still had several more of the same one-handed sword in the system.

However, his indifference does not represent the mood of others, after Ken softly thanked and took back the one-handed sword with both hands, Baron Leicester looked carefully for a long time, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Leo, this gift is too precious for a child, I think, I am afraid that even His Excellency the Duke, who rules this area, can't help but show greed for this weapon." ”

"Believe me, it's nothing to me, dear Lester, and I'm sure Ken will be worthy of this sword with his own efforts." Looking at Ken's gaze that gradually changed from apprehension to determination, Leo nodded slightly, pulled Leicester, and the two walked a few steps, sitting casually on the sofa of the hospitality, Leo asked, "Can you give me a rough description of the situation of His Excellency the Duke who ruled this area in your mouth just now?" Dear Lester! ”

With a wave of his hand, the baron motioned for the unrelated servants to leave the hall, looked at the slowly closing door, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Duke...... heh, I and some other friends think that he is not even worthy of the title of 'Your Excellency'. Taking the tea from Evely, the baron looked at Leo, who was a little puzzled, and snorted heavily, and spoke in a resentful tone in the mist of boiling tea

"Orlando Roland Christian, the duke is named White Moon, the lord of White Moon City hundreds of kilometers south of Nuremberg, and it is rumored in the aristocratic circle that the duke has a little blood of the imperial royal family, so His Majesty the former emperor gave him the title of White Moon and provided a huge amount of gold coins to help the duke, and established the only large city 'White Moon City' in the north of the empire." Speaking of this, Lester pursed his lips disdainfully and continued, "But I think Leo you might be more interested in his other nickname, dozens of nobles around us, big and small, like to call him 'Duke Jackal', or 'use this bastard instead'!" ”

His eyes widened in surprise, this was the first time in a whole day that Leo had heard such words that were not in line with aristocratic etiquette from the mouth of this seemingly polite baron, but where Leo didn't notice, Andrew, the head of the knights of the baron's family, was used to shrugging his shoulders and drinking a glass of wine ......!
