Chapter 151: Imagination and Reality
Doubts are doubts, but Gary still can't stop looking forward to it, and after nearly sixteen years, he is finally going to meet Lord Avar, whom he admires.
Although he was only a nine-year-old child when he first met, and Lord Avar was only eighteen years old, his memory of his face has long been blurred, but in his heart, Lord Avar will always be the heroic image of that time.
When the two arrived in Nuland, they heard that King Nuland had passed away and that a new king had not been appointed for a long time, which made him a little disappointed and worried.
Therefore, Gary suggested that he go to the Jingle family with him, because now the Jingele family is the real controller of Nuland, and going to see the head of the Jingle family is actually no different from meeting the king of Nuland.
Therefore, at this time, the two will go to Jingler's house together. Although there are no walls, all the houses belonging to the family and all the nobles who are loyal to the family are engraved with the coat of arms of the family and hung a flag with the same logo, and they are very similar in style and structure.
Centered around the main complex of the Kingler family, the courtyard is surrounded by the residences of the nobles under its gates, making it a city within a city that is easily recognizable.
Thousand Lotus City is not only the capital of Nuland, but also the largest city in Nuland, revealing elegant style everywhere, especially the courtyard city of the Jingele family.
Due to the local climate, most of the buildings in Qianlian City are moisture-proof and ventilated ground floor overhead structures, but the overhead layer is not very high, there are generally only a few steps in front of the door, and the courtyards of each household are mostly separated by fences instead of walls.
The houses in the courtyard are arranged in an orderly manner, almost all of them have white walls, dark gray sloping roofs and windows of the same color, and the flowers and plants in front of the doors are fragrant and graceful.
Both Gary and Utis had seen such an elegant city for the first time, and they were amazed along the way. This is especially true after entering the main complex of the Kingele family, where every grass, tree, house and courtyard is simple and elegant.
A closer look also reveals that many items such as furniture, utensils, and fabrics are marked with a faint family crest pattern in the corner.
The curtains used for decoration in the house are mainly light colors, and there are almost no complicated patterns, and if the curtains are monochrome, there is only one family crest pattern.
In the main building of this family, there is hardly any glittering ornaments to be seen as far as the eye can see, but there is no place that does not show the elegance and nobility of this ancient family.
This reminded him of the glittering palace and the glittering palace and the splendid clothes of King Lisse, which seemed to have nothing to do with the amount of gold and jewelry he owned.
Tartith and Gary had been overwhelmed by the overwhelmed landscape, and there was no time to doubt this
Why were the "passers-by" able to lead them directly to the gate of the famous Kingler's house, without any interrogation or obstruction along the way?
After entering the meeting room, Gary and Lutis looked a little reserved, and did not even dare to sit down, and were in the hall like two wooden pestles.
After Muki sent one of the slaves in front of the door to bring the news to Noro, he sat down without greeting the guests, put his long legs directly on the table, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to continue sleeping.
"Hey, you're ...... Not really, right?" Gary reminded in a whisper. After all, this is Jingele's family, and Jingele is not an ordinary nobleman, even if it is an ordinary nobleman, no commoner dares to be so presumptuous.
On top of that, this place has an inseparable relationship with Lord Avar, whom he admires the most, and this
The "passerby's" demeanor was undoubtedly offensive to his hero, and Gary couldn't help but glare at the man in his chair with indignation.
"Huh?" Murkey raised his eyelids and smiled,
"What's wrong?"
"This is too rude, when Lord Kingele comes in, will you dare to do this?" Although Gary was displeased with this unscrupulous fellow, he was kind enough to lead the way for them, so Gary did not want to see him punished for offending the nobles.
You must know that in the hierarchical Eastern Continent, offending a nobleman is almost a capital crime, let alone a big nobleman like Noro Kingele.
Mu Qi was playful instead, and deliberately smiled: "If he comes in, come in, what's the matter......" I wanted to tease the two simple young men, but before they finished speaking, the person they were waiting for had already appeared at the door.
Because the presence of the visitor was so strong that even with their backs to him, they could feel an invisible pressure, and Gary and Lutis turned to look at him almost at the same time...... What a noble man!
This was the first time Gary and Otis saw Noro, even though the visitor was dressed in a pale robe, doing nothing, saying nothing, just standing quietly.
The straight blonde hair, the light blue indifferent eyes, and the undisguised haughty demeanor all showed his noble and powerful momentum.
In just an instant, these two simple young men, who had never seen much of the world, were already shocked by Noro's momentum, and could only freeze in place, forgetting to speak.
Noro directly ignored Mu Qi on the side, and his eyes quickly fell on the two dusty young men.
The straw sandals on their feet are worn out, which shows that they came from afar, seemingly simple and persistent.
At this moment, both of them were full of shock, their limbs were tense, their expressions were restrained, and they seemed to have little contact with the powerful. If they hadn't been led into the house by Muqi, it would have been difficult for them to connect to the city, let alone stand in the living room of the Kingele family.
While quickly looking at the two young people, Noro had already walked up to them, he looked down at them slightly, and said directly: "Let's talk about your identity and purpose first." Hearing this, Gary suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly looked at Sultius beside him, after all, he was the prince and messenger of Fodorus, and he had important things to do, so he should be the first to speak.
And his own affairs, to put it bluntly, are just private matters, and he was originally not qualified to be received by Lord Jingele.
Of course, Thys also had this kind of realization, so he hurriedly identified himself: "My name is Thyus, and I am the messenger of Phodorus, the son of Gulliver, the king of Phodorus......"
"Fodorus?" even Noro couldn't help but be surprised. Because, the small country of the southeastern peninsula, far from Nuland, had only sent an envoy to send the golden voucher once thirteen years ago, when Fodorus had just declared its independence and Nuland's king Mi'an was still sane, and there was no intersection since.
This sudden dispatch of the prince to envoy must not be a trivial matter, right? Sultius did not know what Noro was thinking, thinking that he had doubts about his identity, so he quickly took out the gold voucher and the letter of state from his bosom and handed them forward with an apologetic face.
After all, he and Gary had crossed the border illegally and had never passed through the pass, so they were at fault. If he can follow the normal procedures, then the news of the envoy's visit will be in the hands of the rulers of the country first.
Noro did not take the gold slip and credentials from Thys's hand to verify his identity, because he could see through the honest nature of this simple young man at a glance.
His gaze quickly swept over the object in his hand, then nodded slightly, and said, "Well, then let's talk about your intentions." ”
"Ah, that's it?" all the surprise was written on Thys's face. Thinking about the time he went to Lixi not long ago, even though the guards of the country had seen Jin Ping and the national letter, they still had a suspicious attitude towards him, and they suffered all the way.
And this legendary nobleman in the Eastern Continent easily believed him without even opening the national book, how could it not be shocking?
Although this simple young man is still hard to believe, in fact, with Noro's knowledge, status and rich experience, he has already cultivated very human intuition and insight.
When Tartius revealed that he was the prince of Phodorus, the great nobleman did not look as contemptuous as the nobles he had met earlier at Lissie.
Although the head of the Kingler family was arrogant and powerful, he did not despise others because of his position of power, which made Fontis sincerely happy, and it seemed that there was a glimmer of hope for the future of Ferdorus.
So he no longer hesitated, and honestly expressed his intentions: "That's right, because my father thinks that after the northern monarchs have carved up Napole, they will soon take advantage of the southern invasion, so he hopes to form an alliance with the southern powers, so that they can jointly resist the invasion of the northern forces in the future." Hearing this, Noro was quite surprised, and never thought that King Fodorus would have such a vision.
Although the small southern peninsula country is now far from the flames of war, once the northern army breaks through the north-south dividing line of the eastern continent, that is, the northern border defense line of Western Asia, Dorodo and Sambiland, it will be a matter of time before the war burns to the south coast.
If only Herilandi invaded the south with the strength of one country, a powerful country like Nuland might still have the ability to compete with it and win a chance to survive, while the rest of the weaker small southern countries would be wiped out.
However, if the northern countries formed an alliance and joined forces to invade the south, then even Nuland would not be able to survive, and unless the southern countries united to resist, it would be possible to keep the southern lands.
Unfortunately, however, the monarchs of several small southern countries are arrogant and selfish, and even if they form alliances with them, most of them can only drag their feet, and they are not reliable at all.
For all these reasons, Norro had to work hard to unify the defenses of Dorodo, Sambiland, and Western Asia, and only in this way could he gather his forces to resist the onslaught of the north.
But what Noro didn't expect was that the almost negligible peninsula country, Ferdorus, would have such a vision and intention.
He couldn't help but think of the year before last, Fodorus, like Nuland, had also politely rejected the invitation of the northern countries and did not join the camp of the Western Allies who tried to carve up the Western Continent...... It is true that Noro did not take the small country of Fodorus to heart before, but now it seems that it should not be underestimated.
So he said to Otis, "You can stay here a few more days, and the details will be discussed later." The heart that had been hanging in the air finally let go.
Although it is not known what specific requirements the head of the Jingler family will make to Ferdorus, this is the first time that he has seen the hope of forming an alliance after leaving his hometown for nearly half a year, how can he not look forward to it?
So he quickly responded happily: "Okay, then I'll bother for a few more days." Noro nodded his head, then turned his gaze back to Gary.
The young man carried a homemade improvised weapon, and his posture was tall and powerful, and his reflexes should be very agile from his posture.
From the very beginning, Noro knew that this young man, who had a relatively rough appearance, was not the retinue of the prince of Verdorus.
Judging from the attire, they are obviously not from the same country, so he must have come here for his own purpose.
So, Noro asked, "What about your name and what do you mean?" The two grim gazes made Gary nervous again.
Because this nobleman is different from other nobles, he is only talented, regardless of his background, and generous, which has long made Gary admire.
Most importantly, he was the one who rescued Lord Avar, whom he admired, from the fire pit, and he was the one who could make Lord Avar follow him loyally, so Gary had a little more awe in his heart.
As if the dream was at hand, Gary replied excitedly and expectantly, "My name is Gary, and I am from Konon...... Well, it's actually an illegal border crossing. However, I have a man I would like to see no matter what, he is my savior, and I hope to follow him and fight with him for the rest of my life!"
"Hearing you say that, is your savior in my house?" Noro was surprised, he wasn't skeptical of Gari's words, he just didn't expect such a thing.
"Yes, yes, he's Lord Muchi Avar. Gary nodded vigorously and explained sincerely,
"When I was nine years old, he saved my life on the border, and since then, he has become my dream. However, when I grew up, I finally joined the Kenong Army, but he was framed and unjustly imprisoned, and I never saw him...... So I fled from the army and hid in the mountains in the south. I thought that Lord Avar had already suffered misfortune at that time...... The news in the mountains was closed, and it wasn't until recently that I stumbled upon the fact that Lord Avar had actually come to Nuland. Therefore, I could not wait to cross the mountains and mountains and illegally cross the border, and come thousands of miles away, and ask Lord Jingler to let me meet Lord Avar. "But the peasants?
Seeing that Gary was full of anticipation and his eyes were shining with excitement, Noro glanced thoughtfully at Muqi in the chair, not wanting that the guy to look surprised, obviously he didn't remember this for a long time.
It can be seen that before Mu Qi brought the person, he must have learned that the other party was a Kenong, so he deliberately concealed his identity, after all, in the eyes of most Kenong, he was a hateful traitor.
Even so, he couldn't help but want to help this simple young man from his homeland. But at the same time, he didn't want to go against Noro's wishes, so he personally led people in the door and left it to Noro to decide.
It's just that I never expected that this young man who had escaped from Konon after all the hardships would actually come for him Muqi Avar.
Noro quietly analyzed the situation in front of him thoroughly, and then calmly looked away from Muki and looked at Gary again, who was full of anticipation.
No one noticed it, and the corners of his mouth raised a little invisible smile: "Since you have come all the way to find him, then follow him in the future." Over the years, he hasn't had a close guard by his side, and you can fill that gap. ”
"Ahh
"Ahh
If he has a tail behind him all day, it will make him feel very uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Noro would make a decision for him at this time, and in the current situation, it was difficult for him to say no even if he wanted to.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly, he knew that Noroding was too busy with daily affairs, and he often avoided military chores, so he deliberately arranged someone to help him deal with those affairs that he was impatient with.
