Chapter 343: Asking to See the Count of Lorraine
Alan introduced Fresnel and Sergei to the rest of the courtyard, but he didn't dare to reveal their true identities, and could only say that they were subordinates of a friend he had met in the south. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although Shelly and Harvey recognized Fresnel, they could only pretend that they didn't know anything when they saw that Alan didn't know anything.
Everyone else was simply polite, only Isha took Fresnel's hand when she saw her, and she cared and interrogated her for a while, and finally she smiled and said to Allen:
"Alan, this beautiful girl has come all the way just to protect you, and you don't want to live up to the kindness of others. ā
Isha's words have a deep meaning.
"Sister-in-law, let's go, the problem of food is on me, you take care at home. ā
Allen's mind is not here at all, he has already gathered everyone to get on the horse and prepare to go, leaving Fresnel and the two of them here, so he always has a strong sense of insecurity, it is better to leave early.
Bidding farewell to the people who saw them off, Allen's group of six people, three large and three small, embarked on the southbound road again, but the last time they took the route to the west, this time they took the route to the east, because their target of the Lorraine family territory was located in the southeast of the Yuz Empire, on a fertile field adjacent to the Togo hills.
It was already half a month later for Alan and them to really arrive at the territory of the Lorraine family, at this time it was the rainy season in most of the southeast of the continent, and when they inquired all the way and arrived outside the Lorraine family's manor, the sky was still shrouded in a drizzle.
Along the way, there were large areas of fertile fields everywhere, and the wheat in the fields was growing well, indicating that this was another good harvest year, which not only made Allen full of confidence in this trip. As long as the Lorraine family has food and pays for it themselves, plus Elvis's relationship, there is no reason why they should not sell it.
"This is the Lorraine family's manor, stop here!"
Alan was still fifty paces away from the manor gate when he heard someone shouting in front of him.
The doorman standing on the tower on the side of the manor gate, through the drizzle, had already seen a group of people approaching from a long distance, Alan They were wearing a black rainproof cloak, and the scabbard of the long sword was exposed under the cloak, which immediately made the doorman realize the threat of this group, so before Alan came closer, they had already stopped from a distance.
"Go and tell your master, and I'll say Alan Kanter, a magician from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, who asks to see you. ā
Alan slowed down his horse and shouted to the doorman from a distance, the reason why he revealed his true identity was to dispel the hostility of the other party, and on the other hand, to show that he and Elvis, the young master of their family, were classmates, and it was best if Elvis happened to be at home and heard his name, and then everything would be much easier.
"It's raining today, and our lord is not a guest, so let's go back first. ā
To Allen's surprise, after several doormen heard Allen's words, they got together and exchanged words for a while, not only did they not mean to invite them in, but the doorman at the head even directly refused their request.
"I'm a classmate of your young master Elvis Lorraine, and if you pass on the news, I'm sure Elvis will be in a hurry to see me. ā
Alan also thought that the janitor did not hear his identity clearly, and had to reiterate the relationship between himself and Elvis.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kanter. Young Master Elvis is not at home, and our master has an order, there will be no guests these days, you can stay for a few days, and come back when the weather is better. ā
The doorman was still unmoved by Alan's words.
"Whoosh!"
Alan was about to explain a few more words, but there was a twitching sound of a bowstring in his ears, and a sharp arrow passed through the rain-covered sky, almost brushing the face of the shouting doorman, and shot at the pillar of the tower behind him, making a "bang" sound, and the arrow sank into the pillar about half a foot deep, and the exposed tail feathers shook violently, and the water droplets on it were immediately shaken into a cloud of mist. Although this arrow was affected by the rain, there was no deviation in the accuracy, which shows the skill of the shooter.
"Go and tell your lord quickly, and say that Master Kanter is visiting, and let him come out quickly to meet him. Otherwise, my next arrow wouldn't have been so accurate. ā
Fresnel held a longbow and shouted to the doorman in the tower with a frosty face, and his tone contained a condescending and unquestionable feeling. As the great elder of the elven clan, he wanted to see a human nobleman, but the other party repeatedly refused, sparing Fresnel is good temper, and he couldn't bear it, and immediately taught these servants who didn't know the importance of it.
"Your Excellency, I... I... I'll arrange for someone to go and tell the master. ā
The doorman touched the tail feathers that had just been swept by the arrow, and his cheeks became hot, feeling that the crotch of his pants was damp, and he didn't know whether he was drenched by the rain or frightened by incontinence just now, and it took a long time to recover, and when he looked back, several other companions had already been frightened to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and the female archer outside the gate, the bow and arrow in her hand was still pointing at herself, and she was afraid that she would not be satisfied with her answer in one sentence, and she could immediately shoot her head.
The doorman stammered and shouted a few words inside, and then a servant in charge of the gate ran down the tower and darted to the inside of the manor.
"This is my best friend's home! ā
Alan said to Fresnel with a smile.
After all, this is Elvis's home, and he has to give Elvis some face, otherwise that guy will have a headache for his unrelenting words. So Alan didn't want Fresnel to make too much trouble, but Fresnel's scare was very effective, and Alan couldn't blame him, so the words stopped.
"Don't worry, I'm just scaring him. ā
Fresnel just winked at him when he heard Allen's words, showing a playful expression, and seemed to be very proud, as if he didn't take Allen's words to heart at all.
The servant who told the news ran all the way to the palace where his master lived, pushed open the door of the living room and rushed in.
Before the servant entered, Elvis's father, the Count of Lorraine, was walking in the drawing-room, sometimes going to the window and looking out, frowning, sometimes sighing, as if something was difficult to decide.
In addition to the old earl in the living room, the Lorraine woman and a son were also present, Mrs. Lorraine gave birth to two sons for the earl, this is the eldest Clooney, who is five years older than Elvis, compared to his younger brother who is a sibling, he looks down on Elvis's identity from the heart, and is even more resentful of the Count of Lorraine for including Elvis in the family system, and even handing over part of the property to Elvis to take care of.
