Chapter 46: Return to Karada
"Barrett, you kid hasn't come to see my uncle or me for more than a year! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see you until I was too old to walk! Accompanied by this breathless voice appeared Daniel Jodok, a handsome uncle with a bookish spirit. However, compared to the last time he parted, the area around Mr. Daniel Jordock's face seemed to have deepened a little, and the color of his hair had become a little darker.
Although he knew that Mr. Daniel Jodok's complaint was somewhat a lament about his current age, Barrett still insisted that he had just seen it wrong. He gave Daniel Jodok a big hug and said, "Where? Didn't I come to see you again! Besides, where are you old now? You can still work hard at the job for many years! β
"Don't fool me anymore, you kid, my own body knows it." Speaking of this, Mr. Daniel Jodok sighed, "Since that demonic invasion, my body has been getting worse day by day. In a year or two at most, I should leave the town hall and find something to do at home. Anyway, I have savings, and the city hall will give me some subsidies when I retire, so it's no problem to support the family. The only thing I'm worried about now is Clarice's little girl. Ay! I really don't know when she will be able to regain her heart and find a good family! β
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Jodok have only two daughters, the eldest of whom has been married for several years. The husband is also a well-connected public official, so there is no need to worry too much about having a decent life. But this little daughter born later now gives him a headache.
Don't look at that little girl who is only 14 years old now, but there are many girls in this world who marry at the age of 14. But Clarice's little girl follows a group of bear children around the city all day long, and she doesn't look like a lady at all. In Mr. Daniel Joddock's opinion, it is difficult to find the right family.
Of course, if Clarice mastered a few trades that would support her in the future, Barrett would be more reassured. Because even if it is undignified, at least he can support himself in a dignified manner, and with the ability of Mr. Daniel Joddock, I am afraid that he will be able to leave a decent fortune to his two daughters. But no matter how much money you have, there will be a day when you can't marry Clarice, who can't marry a good family, what will happen next. It has always been a question of concern for Mr. Daniel Jodok.
As for the other half who said that he was not in the right place, Mr. Daniel Jodok was also a little worried about whether Clarice would be used to it in the future. Her daughter, who had been so rich in her daily life, was accustomed to good food and good food, and suddenly asked her to eat and drink bran and drink it thinlyβnot to mention herself, even Mr. Daniel Jodok was very uncomfortable.
Mr. Daniel Jodok has aged so much in less than a year, in addition to the erosion of the city's inhabitants by the energy of the planes that poured into the lower planes during that event. is somewhat unrelated to Clarice's unobtrusive daughter. Although he didn't say this himself, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
"Clarice, she's still a child! It's normal to be a little naughty. In another two years, she shouldn't have understood what she needed. "Barrett knows that when it comes to other people's chores, it's best to be able to do it. Leave aside the relationship, get rid of the relationship, if you really get involved, eighty percent will become an exception, not a person.
Mr. Daniel Jodok sighed deeply: "After two years, it will be too late after two years." Even though it's my daughter, I've never found anything really special about Clarice. As soon as the golden time of study has passed, it may not be easy for her to be completely wild, let alone become a lady again? And even if there is a miracle, the reputation of the wild girl has gone out, and it is not easy to change! β
It is said that children are the debt of their parents in their last life, this sentence ...... Unfortunately, I didn't know ......' After shaking this sad thought out of his head in an instant, Barrett tried to comfort him: "I remember that in the Far East there was a saying that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Don't look at Clarice, she's like this now, maybe she'll meet the right person tomorrow. After all, there are many gentlemen who like that kind of lively and active girl. β
"I hope that's the case!" Mr. Daniel Jorddock shook his head, "You didn't want to come to see me, an old man, Barrett, to listen to my nagging!" However, since it is rare to come to Karada once, if you have time, you will stay for a few more days. Now I'm willing to chat quietly with a bad old man like me. β
"If I have time, I'd love to stay and talk to you. However, I think you should also know that the current situation in the Kingdom of Cruze is a bit precarious. Barrett paused, "And we don't know when we're going to start moving." So I must get back to Bolham as soon as possible. β
"Look at my memory, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, you are now a seedling cultivated by the Boreham family." Mr. Daniel Jordock, who said this, patted himself on the head, "You have done a good job this year, and if your father were still here, he would definitely be proud of you." In the eyes of our old friends, the most correct thing he did in his life was to give birth to such a good son as you. β
"I just did what I had to do, and I just had a little bit of luck." Barrett said with a little embarrassment.
"Everybody knows what you have to do. But how many people can carry it through! It's like Clarice's little Nizi......" Mr. Daniel Jodok chattered for a while, and then said, "Although that Nizi is disobedient, she is my daughter after all!" If I accidentally leave one day, for the sake of both of us. Barrett, can you take care of her for me a little bit! β
"Ugh! Of course, with our relationship, if Clarice is in any trouble, I won't leave it alone. Barrett rightly said. Whether it's because of Mr. Daniel Jodock's care when he first debuted, or because of the friendship that has existed since the last generation, Barrett must take on this responsibility - otherwise public opinion will tell Barrett what he is referring to.
After being dragged by Mr. Daniel Jodok to his house for lunch, Barrett, who re-entered the streets of Calada, immediately lowered his head and touched his chin: "Mr. Jodok's performance just now is a bit like explaining what happened!" Could it be that his body has really deteriorated to that extent? Obviously, the last time we met, we didn't show any problems. Could it be that something special happened during the year? Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered about Clarice's little Nizi so early. β
With this in mind, Barrett continued his way to the inner city of Karada. Since he was passing through Karada, there were two places he had to visit. Except for Mr. Jodock's cottage just now, which is the Boreham family's mansion in the inner city. Of course, from the mouth of the Boreham Chamber of Commerce, Barrett already knew that the Morpheus Knights, who had taught him earlier, had returned to the territory to report on his duties. Now on duty in Karada is the Bapti Knights.
Familiar with the way through the levels, Barrett soon met the current knight. As soon as they met, the other party's big palm slapped Barrett's shoulder: "You little guy has done a good job in the past year, especially in Ulrike's performance in teaching those cabinets, it is indeed worthy of Lord Earl to hand over the 'Broken Peak' to you so early." β
Although it seems that the knight of Bapti seems to have patted it casually, the power transmitted from that big hand, even the current strength and physique of Barrett are a little unbearable! After eating hard with the ability of 'muscle armor', Barrett didn't make a fool of himself.
Barrett, who knew that this was a quiz given by the knight in front of him, was like a nobody: "Compared to the knights, my performance is nothing. β
"Humble young people are always welcome." The Bapti knight then slapped Barrett twice, "It's rare for us to see each other once. Go ahead! If there's anything I need to know, if it's not too much trouble, I'll be fine. β
"I'm glad to know you, Lord Knight. But there's one thing I'd like to ask you about now. Barrett smiled slightly awkwardly as he said this.
Knight Bapti touched his chin, and then said with a wicked smile: "Isn't it the guide's advice?" Did you kid get into trouble out there? It's not going to make that girl's belly bigger! β
"If only that were the case. Marry that girl into the door. My parents aren't here anyway, so it's all up to me. Barrett laughed like a fool.
The Bapti knight looked Barrett up and down: "Then what else can you do with this kid?" When the Earl introduced you to us, he emphasized steadiness! Can you still make a big deal out of it? β
"Isn't it the same thing in the Kingdom of Cruz?" Barrett shook his head as he spoke, "Although I went to the territory through the Chamber of Commerce before, I am also bottomless in my heart now!" β
The knight of Bapti immediately became interested: "What is the matter in the Kingdom of Cruze? What kind of trouble did you kid get into? Tell me about it. But since I haven't heard from here, I don't think it's too serious. Don't scare yourself. β
The distance between Karada and Poitu is not very far, but the transmission of information is not as convenient as in modern society. Of course, if it is very important information, there will naturally be no delay by relying on the transmission speed of strange objects. But if it's less important information, it's naturally slow.
"However, the Ingold steward of Nvidia Town was very nervous at the time, and it was said that he was worried that he would become a target for people with intentions." Barrett said with a frown.
Knight Bapti tapped his finger on the table, "Let's talk about it first, let's see what's going on?" Only when I understand the specific situation can I tell you. How much knowledge can a steward in a small place have? It's not that I'm talking about them, although they have experienced a lot of things, but they are generally at the grassroots level, and they never patronize the overall situation from a high-level perspective. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be deviations in the perception of certain issues. β
"If only that were the case. When we were in the Kingdom of Cruze, we clashed with the Cruze royal army. In addition to the initial outlying rangers, it was we who later crippled a small detachment of the Viper Cavalry Regiment when we were pursued. Speaking of this, Barrett made a swallowing motion, "It is said that there is a lot of turmoil in the country of Norhan over the issue of the Cruze Kingdom, and I am worried that if this matter is exposed, will it bring any trouble to the territory?" β
