Chapter 40: Interlude
The viscount's gentle smile suddenly froze on his face, and he turned his head and said, "Is this really the case?" โ
The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with gray hair, a silk robe, who showed his fat figure even more, several rings as big as a wrench on his hand that exuded various brilliance, and a woman dressed in fancy clothes held his arm, and the whole person leaned into his arms, looking like an upstart, as if others did not know that he was rich.
The fat man took a sip of the hot wine that the woman put to his mouth, and then said, "Of course it's true, I think this incident caused a sensation in Nanhai Town." Mareb wanted to beat the mandarin ducks, but Morgana didn't return to the jasper collar for a few years. โ
Ma Reb's face suddenly turned red, in fact, the relationship between him and his daughter had long been reconciled, but no one would admit that the two were stubborn. Otherwise, Morgana wouldn't have asked little Jasmine to go to Nanhai Town to see them every once in a while, especially after the rise of the Jade Leader, she had worked hard to train his younger brother, and now that her son was also a weapon. The daughter is also very filial, and when the daughter explained to herself that the hall was full of some big lords and the core generals of the alliance countries, he understood his daughter's thoughts. In addition to not wanting to show favoritism, the main thing is that I don't want to be embarrassed. If he is the mayor of Nanhai Town, it would be fine, but he is just a deputy position, and his identity is really inappropriate. At that time, he understood his daughter's mind very well, but he didn't expect it to become an excuse to hit himself.
"Nonour, you actually provoke the relationship between me and my daughter, it's too shameless."
Nonur smiled disdainfully and said, "If you really have a good relationship, do you need me to provoke it?" Who is Morgana, under the marshal, she is also the number one and second person, who doesn't know the marshal's reliance on Mayor Morgana. His Excellency the Marshal has been leading troops all year round. Who says what the jasper collar says, I believe that everyone who has dealings with the jasper collar knows it in their hearts. The status of Mayor Morgana can be imagined. โ
The surrounding nobles nodded in agreement, since the war with the orcs, Brad has been leading the troops to fight, Morgana is in charge of the jasper to lead them for all to see, many nobles have seen Morgana, that kind of aura is not something that a small nobleman can have. They all know that Bled has always been a big strategic guideline. But it was Morgana who really carried it out, especially with Jasper Collar. Brad didn't even ask, and it was basically Morgana who called the shots.
Nonur smiled proudly, and the big hand of the oil flower moved down the woman's waist: "Look, the big guys know it." That is, you don't understand the situation before you come to talk to him. I advise you to forget it. In the end, it was useless, if he really had great influence, he could become the mayor of Nanhai Town with a word from the marshal. If the relationship between their father and daughter was really good, he would have gone to the hall of the lord's mansion to treat those big lords and generals the same way, so why should he stand in the square like us, don't you say? โ
The viscount glanced at Mareb disdainfully, waved his hand angrily, and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me." Otherwise, I was really deceived, which is really unlucky.
Mareb's face turned blue with anger. I feel aggrieved, but it's not good to have a seizure, this is the marshal's wedding, not to mention the marshal's majesty, no one dares to make trouble, just emotionally he also destroys the cheerful atmosphere of the wedding. Seeing that the nobles who were originally around him were now scattered far away because of the words of his opponent, although Mareb was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, he couldn't help but feel a desolation in his heart.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the square, and the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers.
"The marshal is out," "The marshal is out to greet the guests." "Look, today's marshal is a little different, and it makes us look up even more." "yes, it's really changed a lot." "The two brides are too beautiful." "Look, the one behind the bride is the Ranger General, I didn't expect it to be so feminine in an evening dress." "As soon as my brother said it, I also recognized it, sure enough, it was the Ranger General, I followed the Marshal on an expedition to Quel'Thalas, and the Ranger General at that time was so aura that I was so scared that I didn't even dare to look at it more, I didn't expect it to be so glamorous now." โฆโฆ
The whole square was noisy, and the people in the back were desperately squeezing forward, hoping that Brad was closer, especially some of the little nobles who wanted to cooperate with the Jasper Collar, and they were even more active, trying to show their faces in front of Brad and leave an image.
Brad was also taken aback by the situation in front of him, he didn't expect the crowd to be so frenetic. Biyuwei desperately maintained order, and finally squeezed on, the specially built high platform in the center of the square.
Brad flicked the microphone lightly, and the whole square suddenly fell silent, and Brad said with a smile: "To be honest, I was really surprised to see so many people, thank you all the friends who came from afar for my wedding, thank you very much." โ
The crowd erupted in applause.
Brad waved his hand and continued, "I'm very sorry to let the big guy wait in the square, but the hall of the Lord's Mansion is too small, so I hope you understand." โ
Brad bowed in each of the four directions, and then said loudly: "I have seen many familiar faces among you, you have fought with me, and I am sincerely happy to see you again after the war......
Mareb looked at the officers who were extremely fanatical and even excited and tearful because of Brad's few words, and his heart was full of emotion. The number of times he saw Brad was limited, but each time he felt differently.
In the beginning, Brad was a somewhat shy and aristocratic child, no different from his own son. Later, the Jasper Leader destroyed Miรจ, and Brad came to Nanhai Town as the Lord of Jasper, and Brad was so depressed at that time.
Later, when the war broke out, he saw the sharp-edged Brad again in the army, and at that time he was already the deputy marshal of the alliance.
And this time in the meeting, Brad has become the marshal of the alliance, and the jasper collar is no longer what it used to be. Today's Brad is more attractive to everyone, and this attraction is not divided between men and women. As long as he is there, he is like the eternal sun. Let the stars be eclipsed, but this light is not sharp. Today's Brad is so calm and elegant in his gestures, and the temperament of the leader is fully revealed. Look at the frenetic crowd around him, and no one even himself is paying attention to his age.
In Mareb's complicated thoughts, Brad finally said: "In short, as long as the friends who come here are the most distinguished guests of the Jade Collar, everyone should not be restrained, just like attending an ordinary banquet." โ
Brad waved his hand again, and finally said, "Everyone, stay away, I'll go to the portal tower to greet the guests, and when the guests expire, I will celebrate with everyone in the square." โ
The crowd consciously moved out of the way, and Brad walked towards the large teleportation tower surrounded by a crowd of people, and when he reached the edge of the square, Brad suddenly stopped and walked to the side, and the crowd got out of the way.
Brad quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mareb, who was also about to get out of the way, and said happily: "Uncle Mareb, I didn't expect you to come too, the distance is so far, and there is no teleportation array in Nanhai Town, so I didn't send you an invitation, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." โ
Not only was Mareb a little flattered, but even the nobles who were far away from Mareb were a little dumbfounded, and the fat man was even more surprised and speechless, and he was sweating profusely, for fear that Mareb would not arrange his own. No one thought that Brad would still call the other party uncle in his current capacity, what a good relationship.
Although Brad is ruthless, he has always been a dripping grace when the spring reciprocates, and when he is at his most depressed, there is almost no one to help him, and that time he went to Nanhai Town to make himself feel that there is more than just utilitarian existence in this world. Just like Blackmore, who was also a close friend of his father, he deliberately distanced himself from him because he was afraid of Lordaeron, and when he first went to Dunhold, he pretended not to know, and he didn't see him. The character of the two is clear at a glance.
Ma Rebu's identity was very upright, and he said meticulously: "The marshal said that I laughed, I am not old enough to leave, and as for the invitation, I don't need it, my identity can't accept the marshal's invitation." โ
"Uncle Mareb, it makes me sad when you say that. You and my father were close friends, and you extended a helping hand to me in my most difficult times. What's more, you are still the closest person to Xiao Jasmine and Sister Na, in every way, you are my elder. This time I didn't think it through, and I ask my uncle to forgive me. โ
Brad saluted, and the two brides also saluted, and the always kind old Mareb was a little at a loss, and Brad was just that. The identities and status of the two brides are no secret in the alliance, and their identities are extremely noble in the elven kingdom.
"Sister Na, please make up an invitation to Uncle Marebu." Brad paused as he spoke, and continued: "Also, Uncle Mareb is here, and you don't tell me, why are you still standing here?" โ
Morgana said meticulously: "This is a rule that has been set for a long time......"
Brad waved his hand and said, "I know this, but no matter what, Uncle Mareb is my elder." Do elders still have to look at identity? โ
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Morgana, though still calm, was happy to see her father being so respected by Brad.
"Uncle Mareb, you go to the hall for a short rest first, I'll go to greet the other guests, I was slacking off just now, please don't be angry for the sake of my father."
Mareb was also a little moved by what Brad said, and said, "Good, good, your father really has a good son. I don't have the ability and character, I really envy my old friend, you go and get busy first, don't worry about me. โ
Brad smiled and nodded, striding away with a group of people.
And the nobles who were originally far away from Mareb watched Mareb walk away under the leadership of a jade guard with a red face, and their bowels were blue with regret, and the fat middle-aged man had already disappeared into the crowd...... (To be continued......)
