Chapter 67: The Earl of Boreham

After three days of waiting, Barrett received the news that he would be received by the Earl of Boreham. If it weren't for the fact that the next caravan in the Chamber of Commerce was still in preparation, he would probably have to cancel his appointment first and embark on the journey to the Northland.

Fortunately, in these three days, you who have been stained with blood and gray flowers have not wasted your time. Mario, as always, is in the church. The parrot also seems to be led by Mario to the chapel of the God of Roads and Travels in Poitou, and carries out the daily task of settling one day at a time.

The same dwarven warrior has been apprenticed to blacksmith again these days, and according to him, "It's nice to be able to sweat by the fire in such cold weather." ”

Rielie shut herself up in her hotel room all day and was engaged in the task of copying papers. It seems to be saving up the necessary funds for the next spell learning. The cost of mages is staggering, and Rielly is now forced to take the path of consuming experience points in exchange for money to learn new spellsβ€”the choice of the vast majority of civilian mages.

As for the two difficult brothers, Lalu and Noodles, it seems that they can only sell cuteness in the tavern on the first floor of the hotel to find a sense of survival. As for a certain ranger girl, she is still lost in the streets of Poitu with her big dog.

The castle, the granite walls full of vicissitudes on the outside. Barrett stroked the qiΔ“ and eventually shook his head. After waiting outside the gate for almost a quarter of an hour, the guards who had gone to pass the message finally reappeared in front of Barrett. And behind the soldier, there stood an old man with silver hair.

The white shirt and black dress are neatly cared for, and the silver threads on the head are as if they are coated with glue. In terms of image, it is even more than Lord Daniel of Karada.

"You're Barrett of Shafir City? This body type should be right. Keep up! The Earl is waiting for you in the study! So saying, he turned and led the way. The butler's title was different from most people's, and such a discourse was both a draw and a way to prevent Barrett from thinking more unnecessarily.

It wasn't until he walked into the house that Barrett appeared, and it could be said that this place had changed drastically from the somewhat eerie and cold castle in his memory. Suspended ceilings, bright lighting, and mirror-like marble floors can be seen everywhere. Even the original stone steps have been replaced by mahogany steps. Coupled with the weapons and armor used for decoration, it feels like you are in a historical museum.

Without changing the exterior of the castle, even the internal structure has undergone such a big change. This kind of cost is not much cheaper than demolishing and rebuilding!

"It's not the same as I imagined!" Barrett, who followed behind the elderly butler, muttered to himself.

The old man leading the way in front stopped and asked softly, "Oh! Do you think there is anything wrong? ”

"Steward Craig! According to my dead father's description, the Boreham family's castle has remained in its original fortified style. In order to warn future generations not to forget their own identity and past glory. But why is it so similar to Karada's mansion now? Barrett asked, confused. The Craig family has been the steward of the Boreham family for generations, so there's basically nothing wrong with calling it that.

"It's been a while since your father left the City Lord's Guard! It's normal that things don't quite clear later. In short, you must know that since the Earl did this, there must be so many reasons. He didn't break the rules of his ancestors for the sake of enjoyment. "It's clear that Butler Craig isn't prepared to get too involved in this issue.

Barrett would not be naΓ―ve to think that the other party, the housekeeper of the Earl's Court, would remember his character's dead ghost father who had been away from the guard for so many years. Obviously, in the days that Barrett was waiting to be received, with the power of the Boreham family, Barrett and their group had already been investigated to the bottom - just like the Celestial Empire, if you want to see the "Bun Emperor", you can't check the net worth for three generations.

'Not for enjoyment? It seems that the situation inside the principality is not very calm! Judging by Craig's stewardship's posture, the Earl is probably ready to talk to me! Barrett already had a vague impression of such a superior in his heart: "I understand, the next thing is not what I should know now." ”

"As Morpheus Knight said, you're smart." Butler Craig continued to start, leading Barrett up the mahogany steps. On the third floor, you enter the same elegantly decorated corridor. In the hallway hang beautiful busts of past generations of the Bolim family.

"Da! Da! Da!" The butler knocked three times in front of the door of the study and asked, "Lord Earl, the visitor who has made an appointment today has been brought." ”

A very steady voice came from the room: "Let him in, the rest is none of your business, you can go down first." ”

When the door was opened, the butler retired, and as he was leaving, he said to Barrett, "In a moment, I will arrange for the waiter to wait at the top of the staircase." He will take you out of the castle when you get back. ”

Barrett then pushed open the door and walked into the study. The study is extremely spacious, with tall mahogany bookshelves on all four walls. There is an escalator in the corner. Because the bookshelves lead all the way to the roof, there is no way to reach the upper floor without the escalator. The shelves are filled with a wide variety of books. There are bound volumes, but more often than not, there are various scrolls.

The light in the room is all due to the chandelier on the ceiling that seems to use the principle of inextinguishable flames. At the same time, the air in the house is still fresh, and there is no obscurity of a fully enclosed room, and it seems that the hidden ventilation system is very perfect.

The Earl was sitting in a chair opposite the door, with his hands on his desk. Before Barrett could stop, he said, "Well done young man, I've heard all about your cousin in Karada." I have to say that among the younger generation of the side branches of the family, you are still good. ”

There is no dismount as speculated by the girls in the team who have watched too much "palace fighting dramas". The Earl of Boreham naturally has the bearing to match, and there is no need to be that kind of trick.

The younger generation of the side branch of the family is the limit of Barrett, and it is also the object of Barrett's comparison. After all, there is a huge difference in the resources of the side branch and the main family, and it would be unfair to force them to be compared.

"I am very honored to receive your compliment, and I have finally lived up to the family's investment over the years." If you are faithful, you still have to say it, even if it is exaggerated. Barrett thinks the most important thing is to show his attitude -- 'If you're willing to put in, I'll hold on to this thigh.'" ’

"Don't be too presumptuous. Although the family has invested a lot in your side branches, it is indeed too little to be able to have such an expression as you. The Earl of Boreham exchanged his hand with a smile on his face.

"But I've heard that Mr. Coleman in Wesy recently slain a powerful two-headed ogre, and that Mr. Clifford, who joined the navy, single-handedly slain two fish-man pirates in naval battles. It has a considerable reputation among maritime merchants. As he spoke, Barrett became a little embarrassed from his original doubts, "Compared to those things in Karada, those things in Karada can only be regarded as petty fights. ”

"Just for your current age and strength, the table in Karada is not bad. Aside from the luck factor, it's not particularly eye-catching, but your mastery of combat skills is enough to catch my attention. Earl Boram nodded with great satisfaction, "This is the rarest thing to find such a young master of preparatory weapons. Young man, you've been included in the list of key trainings. ”

"A list of key trainings?" Barrett's face was happy, and then he immediately asked, "So what kind of preferential treatment?" ”

"It's not that there are no preferential treatments, it's just that you haven't joined the family system now, and these preferential treatments are completely useless to you." The Earl of Boreham seemed to not want Barrett to think that he was forcing him to do it, "Of course, I also support young people going out into the world. Maybe in a few decades, our family will be able to add another legend! ”

The last words of the Earl of Boreham were more or less insincere, and although he disguised them well, they were logically contradictory. After all, the pinnacle of the world like a legend is not something that can be said to be there like a cabbage.

Barrett immediately began his journey again: "Thank you for your support. If you have any commands, you will never give up. ”

"When the family needs you, someone will naturally contact you. Didn't you undertake a mission to the Northern Family Caravan two days ago? I think I'll take care of you on the caravan side along the way. Viscount Boreham said as he threw a bag at Barrett, "Although according to the rules of the family, I can't give you anything for nothing. But I can still give you a small gift personally. ”

Barrett, who took the deerskin bag, bent down and saluted, "Thank you, sir." ”

"That's right! Don't forget to find a way to accumulate more family contributions when you're away! Count Boreham said and smiled mysteriously, "If you can reach a higher level before breaking through the limestone rank (level 5), and if you accumulate enough family contributions, there will be a choice that will affect your future path waiting for you." ”

"Players accept the sequential quest Boreham Culture Prologue - Family Recognition, and before level 6, they can upgrade their family privileges to squires and consume 4ooo points to contribute to start the next stage."

Hearing this, Barrett's body shook slightly: "I understand, my lord, I will work harder outside." ”
