"Sir!"

The old housekeeper of the Nosrid family looked at the patriarch of the Nosd family who was standing in front of the window of the study, staring at the sky in the distance: Gael. Northside; His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart—as an old butler who had served the Nosd family for three generations, he certainly understood what his patriarch was thinking at this moment.

Port of Sas!

The port city that supports the economic lifeblood of the entire Nosd family!

Let's hope everything goes smoothly!

The old butler prayed in his heart—ten minutes after the strange movement appeared, all the news about the port of Sass had appeared in his hands, and he had passed it on to his patriarch; But what's the use of that? It's better to just know the way, but you can't prevent and solve everything that happens, it's better to not know the way!

Damn the Holy See!

At the thought of this culprit, the old butler, who had always been a gentleman, could not help but curse in his heart—the Norths had long been accustomed to the 'anomalies' that appeared every few years in the port of Sasse, and that the insatiable nature of the merchants was better understood than those who had dealt with these fellows all their lives.

However, the Nosd family will not curb it, because the development and prosperity of Sass Harbor are inseparable from these greedy guys - I have to admit that aside from greed, these guys are quite good-minded, and some exquisite planning, even the Nord family has to admire; Of course, even if it's admirable. When some of them have thoughts that they shouldn't have, the Norsd family will never show mercy.

Get rid of the other party cleanly, accept part of the business that is enough to make up for the loss, and throw the rest to the other businessmen who have been staring at this place for a long time; And that's exactly what happens every time the port of Sass erupts in blood. Some will be terrified, others will be jubilant, and many more will flock to Sass Harbor; In fact, after each bloody purge, instead of falling into decay, the port of Sass will burst into greater vitality and develop at an eye-popping pace.

What matters to us is land, taxes, not to be a businessman!

This is a quote from the family motto of the House of North. It was completely inherited by the children and grandchildren, and carried forward better, creating one of the largest trading ports in Lorante, such as the port of Sas; This is the pride of everyone in the Northside family, precisely because they have given up control of business. It is only by collecting taxes according to the type and quantity of goods, creating a relatively free competitive environment for countless people, that there is a large trading port like Port Sasse - such a family motto will undoubtedly be inherited and carried forward by the descendants of the Northside family in the future; In the Bay Area, create more of a Sass Harbor-like presence.

That's what every descendant of the Norsd family thinks!

Even if it's the cynical one. The boy who likes to be a witcher more than the head of the house thinks the same way!

However, now a crisis has unwittingly appeared in front of them - an attack by pirates!

The bloodthirsty wolves, greedy and far more greedy than anything else, were likely to land in Sass Harbor in an hour or two. wanton looting and killing; The old butler's mind had even come to mind that the port of Saas had been like a locust crossing after the fact—it was far easier to destroy than to build; It may take ten or even twenty years to build a decent town. But to destroy such a town, it is enough to tighten it for one night!

And Port Saas. We are facing such a crisis at this moment!

As long as it is something of value that can be taken away, these pirates will not give up; And what can't be taken away, with the consistent style of these pirates, will definitely be burned; As soon as he thought of the prosperous port that had been run by the Nosrid family for a hundred years being burned to the ground, the old butler's heart began to ache faintly, especially since the person who did this was only a creature that he thought was completely like an ant, and suddenly, the pain couldn't help but increase by several points. …,

Damn the Holy See!

Another insult rose from the bottom of the old butler's heart, as the steward of the Norsd family, although it cannot be said that everything is clear about the affairs between the Holy See and the Norsd family, but the old butler knows all the major things; Only this time, it was a little different from what had happened before, and he couldn't imagine that the Holy See could be so cunning, or even despicable.

That's right, cunning and meanness!

As early as a week ago, there were reports one after another that the new High Priest of the Holy See, Lutyr, was preparing to deal with the Norsd family; In this regard, the Nosd family, who had previous experience, did not have any panic, but arranged the corresponding manpower step by step to resist and deal with it; It's just that in any case, the entire Nosd family, from the patriarch to the squire, did not expect that the people of the Holy See would collude with the pirates.

The thought of leaving only about 20 percent of the usual manpower in the port of Saas to maintain the basic port and terminal operations, and the thought of the fact that these 20 percent of the manpower had to face those well-prepared pirates and internal instability; The pain in the old housekeeper's heart became painful all over his body at this moment-the family always has unimaginable protection for his own people; Even if this clansman commits a big mistake, it can only be solved by the people of his own family, and any outsider who dares to interfere will be treated with cold eyes and even hatred.

It's like a parent who feels sorry for his child, knowing that his child is wrong, but he doesn't want others to come forward to discipline him - not to mention, as the oldest person in the family, the whole family is basically his junior; And treat the clansmen of each family, the old housekeeper regards them as sons, nephews, children and grandchildren!

Faced with the fact that some nephews, children and grandchildren were about to die, the old housekeeper's eyes were already red, and if it wasn't forbearing, tears would have surged out; It's just that the old butler understands that now is not the time to shed tears, at least, until some damned fellows die, his tears can't be shed—

"Get ready! Those guys are coming! ”

Gail. Nosd turned around and said lightly to the old butler in front of him; There was a pause. By the time the old butler had retreated to the door, Gail. Nosd narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Send a telegram to the people who are still in Sass Harbor, and the family thanks them for everything they have done...... And also...... Sorry ......"

Zhilu said. Master! ”

The old butler bowed and withdrew from the study—and at the moment when the door of the study was gently closed, Gail stood in front of the window. North's eyes narrowed slightly, completely and painfully closed; His chest rose and fell rapidly as he breathed heavily, and he reached out to hold the window as if he could stand with the support of his hands.

After a few moments, when his breathing returned to normal again, he reopened his eyes. At the table. Pulled open the third drawer on the right-hand side of the desk, counting from top to bottom - there was nothing in this drawer except for an encrypted phone.

The password in the mind followed Gail. The moment Knosd picked up the microphone, it was typed into the keypad that came with the phone; After the short wait tone ends. There was silence in the microphone, as if the phone had broken down in an instant; And Gail. But Nosd was not surprised at all, and said in a calm voice: "The Holy See is coming, prepare for battle!" ”

After a word, Gail. Nosd hung up without waiting for a reply; After getting up from the chair again. Gail. Nosd walked straight to the bedroom in the study - a one-handed sword full of the atmosphere of the dark ages, a brown hard leather armor and a pair of bracers were placed in the bedroom closet, took off the coat of the house, and picked up the leather armor hanging in the closet; Gail. Nosd stretched out his hand and gently stroked the crest of the waves and mermaids representing the Nord family in the center of his chest, his expression was full of solemnity. …,

The glory of the family. It will be passed on forever!

Silently reciting the conviction in his heart, Gellnosd put on his leather armor. Putting on the bracers, he picked up the one-handed sword with the scabbard. Turn around and walk out.

……

Clang...... Clang......

The bells in the manor rang twelve times in a row, and suddenly, all the people, even the attendants and servants in the manor, entered a state of alert, and some of the old people in the manor were even more serious—the number of bells in the Nosd manor was extremely strict, except for one ringing at midnight and noon every day, and only six and nine times during the Midwinter Festival and the harvest celebration, respectively.

And the twelve bells in a row have only one meaning - vigilance, with the invasion of foreign enemies, the highest level of security!

Obviously, such a thing is not common, even if Zhilu Dao has such a rule, but some young people still feel at a loss - although they are fully armed, they are obviously at a loss when they stand there, and they have subconsciously cast their eyes on some old elders; After all, nearly thirty years have passed since the last time twelve bells rang in a row; And at that time, their patriarch, the head of the family, Gal . . . Nosd was just a teenager.

"Everybody lined up! Meet at the fountain next to the manor square! ”

An old man of the Nosd family, looking at the slightly disorderly scene, immediately stood up and shouted—as an old man of the Nosd family who had experienced the same crisis, he knew very well what was the most important thing at this time; A panicked and overwhelmed clansman is obviously unlikely to cope with the ensuing crisis; Although you don't need to be calm to the point of being like the rumored strong people, at least you should be calm.

Otherwise, before the enemy arrives, he will be struck by all kinds of chaotic thoughts without any confidence - such examples are not uncommon, but very common at the end of the Dark Ages, the beginning of the Scarlet Age; By that time, the riot had spread throughout Lorante, and the wizards were overwhelmed by harassment, and some of their attendants were even more unbearable; Often, when they hear that a riotous army is coming, they will flee and collapse; It doesn't matter how many people the opponent is, what kind of equipment they have, or whether they have the corresponding combat ability.

A scholar once said that at the end of the Dark Ages, those wizards' acolytes were the 'backbone' that hastened the demise of the entire wizarding dynasty - of course, compared to the wizarding dynasty that was corrupted to the roots, the Norsd family, which also existed from the Dark Ages, was countless times better!

As soon as they heard the shouts of their elders, the young people, who were at a loss and a little dazed, immediately took quick action; According to the usual training, they lined up in five vertical and horizontal fifteen rows in an extremely orderly manner - looking at the young people who reacted quickly, the eyes of the old people who shouted couldn't help but show relief. This was followed by an indescribable pain; He knew very well that after the night passed, many of the juniors standing here would pass away, and even half of them would not be preserved. Or there will be fewer people.

Damn the Holy See!

The old man gritted his teeth and scolded; It's not just the old man, most of the old people of the Nosd family are scolding in their hearts, and they also have a gritted tooth expression on their faces; Anger and hatred were all on the faces of these old people, but there was no fear—perhaps, deep down in their hearts, they still had this trace of worry, but they would never be afraid!

North, such a family title, has been able to survive to this day. It is the result of the blood and lives of countless ancestors and elders; And now, it is time for them, who have been enjoying the glory and convenience of the family, to pay; as their ancestors and elders did for them; At this moment, they are also for their descendants! …,

Trample! Trample! Trample!

Heavy footsteps came from inside the manor, and a strange blue glow appeared in the eyes of the people of Nosd standing in the square—even at night. Just under the moonlight, the strange blue emanating from the armor was still dazzling and dazzling, and the team of only thirty people erupted with a feeling comparable to the turbulent and surging waves of the sea, which made people feel suffocated unconsciously.

Poseidon Descendant!

in the Northside family. A team composed entirely of elites - everyone in the Nosd family, who claims to be descendants of the god of the sea, knows that there is such a team, and they all sincerely hope that they can enter such a team; However, not everyone is able to achieve their wishes; Every two years, starting at the age of ten and ending at the age of sixteen. Every child of the Nosd family will participate in the selection, and only those who meet the standards of talent, strength, and temperament can stay; Although there are three chances. But there are still very few who can be selected; So, for the partner who disappeared around. Every child who stays will feel envious.

And it is not only the parties who are chosen, but even the parents will feel honored; Because, they will be respected far more than others, whether it is a descendant or a collateral lineage, this respect will not change - and what can get this respect is naturally the strength that matches it.

From the moment you are chosen, every Norsd clan will say goodbye to their previous identity, whether you are a descendant or a collateral, there is only one identity here - the preparation of the Poseidon descendant; Only those who have undergone five years of rigorous training, who have not died, are crippled, and have passed can be called Bands of the Poseidon Descendants.

Because of this, the number of Seagod descendants who have always been regarded as the strongest by the Norsd people is not large, and at its most prosperous time it was only fifty; However, behind the high elimination rate is synonymous with absolute strength; Every Norsd in the Poseidon Descendant will not be too far behind any of the long-established Demon Hunters, and if they cooperate in a team and fight in a team, even if they are equal in strength and twice as many people, the Poseidon will definitely not be left behind, and they can even win.

The team of thirty Poseidon descendants walked to the fountain in unison, standing at the front of the five previous queues; No Gnosd complained about this; This is a manifestation of strength, and when these Poseidon descendants appeared, they had already understood the absolute gap between the two sides; However, most people's eyes still looked at the person at the front of the Poseidon team, with confusion and deep admiration in their eyes.

Linda. North, standing there is the eldest daughter of the Northed family, who has been replaced by Gael. The eldest lady of the Northed family, who is designated as the next heir of the family—for this kind-hearted, gentle, and good-looking eldest lady, the young people of the Northside family all secretly admire; If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady had already shown that she already had a sweetheart, and according to inferences and rumors, it was very likely that this sweetheart of the eldest lady would be the one, and the young people in these families would definitely dig into the ground to find out the despicable guy who stole the heart of their goddess, and then take turns to duel, and it must be the kind that lives or dies.

However, even so, most of the young people of the Nosd family are still secretly unhappy in their hearts; even, they secretly slandered themselves: emotional matters are not everything determined by strength; Don't think that the patriarch can marry Miss Linda because of his favor, and marry Miss Linda - yes, the young people think that it is their patriarch who wants to tie the other party to the family chariot because of the strength of the other party, so that he will sacrifice the happiness of his daughter; This is not uncommon among the Northed family; In fact, there have been several such ladies in history who have been married off for such purposes.

It's just that at this moment, after looking at the eldest lady in armor and maroon long hair tied into a ponytail, all the young people were stunned - Linda, who swept away the previous weakness and quietness, and exuded a heroic spirit like a sword out of the sheath, is really not the kind of existence that can be controlled by others at will in his imagination.

Faint unseen little riot in Gael. As soon as Nosd came out, he calmed down; Aside from one person, almost all of them looked at the patriarch of their own family, the head of the family, and the helmsman of the Nosd family—looking at the elder sister who was wearing armor, with a long sword hanging from her waist, and a trident on her back, and Gefa, who was standing next to her father, had a twinkle in her eyes and a complicated expression.

The teenager, who was troubled by emotions such as worry, hesitation, and helplessness, finally gritted his teeth and wiped the amulet on his chest, which was given to him by his teacher to communicate when he was most in danger.
