Chapter 152: Dying Asmara

Ever since he learned that Lord Muki Avar, whom he had admired since childhood, was the seemingly lazy and uninhibited creature who led the way for them, Gari's heart seemed to have been shaken by a lot.

Because, in his mind, Lord Avar should be a rigorous and calm hero who leads by example in everything, and he doesn't want the gap between reality and imagination to be so big...... Alas!

However, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was too careless, after all, the gate of Jingler's house is not something that anyone can go straight to.

Judging from Lord Avar's casual attitude, it is not difficult to find that he is actually very valued by Lord Kingele, and his status in the Kingler family is almost second only to that powerful family master.

Thinking about it like this, Gary was a little more balanced in his heart. Now that he has become Muki's close guard, it is natural that Gary will live in his mansion.

When he first entered this modest mansion, Gary was taken aback. Although the style and layout of the aristocratic residences in the city are similar, they are much more deserted compared to other aristocratic residences.

Except for the most basic household items, there was hardly anything common to the aristocracy, such as the brocades that adorned the walls, or the priceless exquisite utensils, and so on, everything in the courtyard was simple enough for his personal use.

Of course, chores such as preparing food and doing cleaning would be done by slaves at regular intervals. Other than that, there are hardly any people coming and going.

Gary stood in the courtyard and looked around, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, did you choose all the things in the courtyard yourself?"

"yes, isn't it?" said Murge, smirking back.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a little more ordinary and simple than you think. โ€

"Isn't it ordinary? I think it's comfortable. Murch was unimpressed.

"Aren't the noble dwellings all fine and luxurious, with hordes of slaves? I thought that at least dozens of slaves would come up and greet you when you entered the door. Gary had heard all this from others in the past, but in fact, the Jingler house was the first aristocratic house he had set foot in in his life.

"It's all superfluous things, whether it's slaves or fancy furnishings, not only get in the way but can't sleep in your arms, what do I want to do with those useless things?" Haha......" Murge smiled as he walked into the open hall.

Gary in the courtyard looked at the tall and heroic back, and suddenly his blood boiled, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: Ah, this is really the hero I admire the most!

No matter where he is, Lord Avar will never pursue the glory and wealth and ethics in the eyes of the laity, but he will have his own unique nobility.

It was this nobility that contrasted with my shallowness, and I didn't even recognize the hero I admired since I was a child, probably because I paid too much attention to flashy appearances, right?

Before he could really get to know him, he was easily deceived by his lazy appearance, and then denied his character, mistaking him for an untrustworthy idle lazy man.

I always thought that the aristocracy should be extravagant and extravagant...... I am really far inferior to him.

From now on, I must correct my thinking and continue to hone my abilities so that I can be qualified to become a guard at the nobleman's side.

Having made up his mind, Gary straightened up and followed in Muki's footsteps into the hall. Since then, he has lived in this seemingly ordinary but noble mansion.

Early the next morning, Gary was given several new sets of clothing and weapons, which were the uniform equipment of all the noble guards in the Kingele army.

Of course, the weapons of the body will vary according to the individual's abilities, and Gary gets a spear, a dagger, and a good bow and arrow.

He was so excited that he immediately changed into a new outfit and went out with Muqi in high spirits. Today, Murch must also attend the meeting in the chamber.

On the one hand, Noro wanted to discuss the details of the alliance with the prince of Ferdorus, and on the other hand, because Noro had received news from the north this morning, probably related to the change of situation in the north, which was the military affairs that Muki was most concerned about.

Therefore, he changed his usual casual attitude and set off early for the main courtyard of the Jingler family. When they arrived at the council hall, they found that they were still the last to arrive, and almost all the nobles under the Jingler family had arrived.

Gary, like the other noble guards, was left outside the council chamber. Seeing Muki come in, Noro nodded to the nearest nobleman beside him, signaling for him to start the meeting.

The nobleman's name was Kelas Komoz, and he was thirty-two years old at Chinese New Year's Eve, only two years after Muchi.

Eight years earlier, Kailas had served as an emissary to bring Muchi to Nuland in Konon's prison.

The Komoz family was the nobleman who had been loyal to the Kingler family for the longest time, much earlier than Nuland's founding of the state.

It is said that the Komoz family was once a commoner, but after following the Jingler family, he was made a nobleman for many military exploits, and now this title has followed the Komoz family for hundreds of years.

Kailas Komoz is also a nobleman who is trusted and valued by Noro, and he is mainly responsible for collecting and collating information on the countries of the Eastern Continent.

With deep and intelligent dark brown eyes, Kairaz is calm and clear-minded, and no matter how boring and complicated, he can handle it in his hands.

However, his greatest strength is also his biggest weakness, no matter what he treats, he is meticulous, especially private matters that are closely related to himself.

He would never tolerate even a little dust sticking to his clothes, and the chair he sat on was usually very well arranged, and the distance between the tables and chairs was calculated, even if it was moved a few invisible distances, he could easily spot it, and would never sit down directly unless it was re-arranged...... The list goes on and on.

Such a person who must reach the most perfect state in his mind to do everything should have been a catastrophe for Mu Qi, who is usually in a state of distraction.

In the eyes of others, both of them do have quirks that others are afraid of and difficult to understand. But what is surprising is that they have always gotten along harmoniously and have never been annoyed with each other once in many years, which is nothing short of a miracle!

After receiving Noro's signal, Kailas, who was just about to speak, turned around and found that Mu Qi, who was sitting opposite, had not covered his shirt properly in what should have been a serious occasion, and most of it was still open, and his muscles were exposed.

Kairas couldn't help frowning, staring at the hem of Muki's clothes, panicking in his heart, and wanted to reach out directly to help him straighten out his robe.

Kailas's gaze was so sharp and uncompromising that it was difficult for Murkey to pretend he didn't see it, so he had to smile apologetically, and quickly covered his shirt with his hand, and after arranging his robe, he adjusted his crooked sitting posture by the way.

Otherwise, this meeting will not go smoothly, and everyone will definitely blame him in the end.

Sure enough, Kailas's brow finally relaxed, nodded in satisfaction, and began to get down to business: "This is the news that just arrived at Qianlian before dawn this morning: Dulong in the north has already incorporated two-thirds of the land of neighboring Asmara into its territory, and it is only a matter of time before Asmara perishes. In my opinion, it won't last this winter. โ€

"What?Asmara is dying?!"

"Dulong only carved up Naboland with Geeland and Herilandi last year, and now they are about to annex Asmara and expand so rapidly, will Heilandi and Gelander sit idly by?"

"I didn't expect Dulong's strength to develop so rapidly......" The nobles present were all surprised and began to discuss.

"Actually," Kelas analyzed,

"It's not entirely because of Dulon's rapid increase in strength, after all, in the battle to divide Naboland last year, Dulon, Gelander, and Herilandi's armies were all damaged to varying degrees. The two big countries of Geeland and Herilandi are still recuperating, at least there is no major movement on the surface, and Dulon, as a small landlocked country, is unlikely to recover so quickly, most likely because they think that the opportunity cannot be lost and take advantage of the fire to rob. If the main cause is probably the weakening of Asmara......" Kailas paused slightly, and then continued: "The year before last, the inadequate Asmara nobles forcibly conscripted a large number of troops to participate in the transoceanic expedition of the Western Alliance, and the resulting civil strife has lasted for nearly two years. Since then, the regime of the Asmara nobility has been shaky. At this time, one of the nobles sitting on the right side of Kailas also spoke: "Although it is easy to annex Asmara, which is in turmoil due to civil strife, it must be very difficult for Dulong to stabilize the land that he has taken from Nabolland, a religious state in the east, and Asmara, which is in turmoil in the north, in a short period of time. If you're not careful, Dulong will reap the consequences of Asmara's footsteps. Kailas suddenly snorted coldly and said, "This is probably a typical short-sighted short-sightedness that is difficult to fill." It is in this way that Dulong slaughtered all the males and children in the former Asmara territory, leaving only the females, so that they could continue to reproduce for the Dulong people in the future......"

"Slaughtering all the males and children?" was tyrannical!" the nobles present were shocked.

Although the slaughter of cities is not uncommon in warfare in the Eastern Continent, most of the remnants of the exile are generally left as slaves for the drive.

A massacre on a scale like Dulong is still appalling. Mu Qi leaned back in his chair lazily, looking slightly disdainful: "Hmph, Du Long swallowed Asmara insatiably, but he didn't have the confidence to be able to control the situation, probably to avoid future troubles." Noro, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sighed: "When Modi Boro was still there, although Asmara was not very strong in the north, it would not be annexed by a small country like Dulong. Since the disappearance of Murdi Boro, Asmara has been in a state of slump. โ€

"Yes!" the nobles present were all touched, and some sighed,

"It is true that Modi Boro can be called the most learned nobleman in the north, but it is a pity...... How could it suddenly disappear without a trace?" Referring to this, Noro asked again: "Kailas, has you not found the slightest news about the whereabouts of Modi Boro?" In fact, since the beginning of the previous year, because of the opposition of Mudi Boro to Asmara's participation in the Western Alliance and the series of reforms advocated for the strengthening of the country and the people, which violated the interests of the Asmara aristocracy, and was banned by the king of Asmara and demoted to a commoner, Noro, who was the first to get the news, immediately asked Kailas to send someone to find Modi ยท Boro.

He wanted to take the opportunity to convince Murdilai Nuland to work for the Kingela family, but unfortunately, due to the geographical distance, the people sent by Kailas ended up being one step too late.

It coincided with the first large-scale uprising of the populace of Asmara, and the enraged mob destroyed all the noble residences in the capital city of Sula, as well as large buildings such as libraries, except for the royal palace, which was heavily guarded by the army, for the time being.

Modi Boro's old mansion had been destroyed beyond recognition, and the men sent by Kailas were in vain, but the only thing to be thankful for was that they had found out that Modi had indeed taken advantage of the chaos to leave the city of Sulla.

"Although it is certain that he was seriously wounded and rescued by a servant, who must have been the child he had adopted in the past," "there is no other clue to him in the city of Sulla," Kelas replied. As a result, the quest has been difficult, and the whereabouts of Modi Boro remain unknown. Noro thought for a moment and then asked, "After Modi Boro was rescued from Sula, which direction did he initially flee to, north or south?"

"To the south. Kailas affirmed that he remembered well that the man sent out to find Modi Boro had said that when he tracked down the southern border of Asmara, he suddenly disappeared completely.

"To the south...... Noro couldn't help but ponder, if Modi Boro could recover from his serious injuries, in terms of his wisdom, he would definitely not enter the territory of Dulong, and would probably continue to walk along the border, but it was difficult to say where he would go next.

The only thing that is certain is that he will definitely choose a way to survive for himself, because a thoughtful and ambitious person like Modi Boro should not be foolish and loyal to a royal family who is willing to fall.

So, Noro instructed Kailas again: "You continue to investigate this matter, and in the end, whether you live or die, there must be a result." โ€
