Chapter 101 The Situation Changes
As soon as there was a little noise in the golden city in the early morning, the unreasonable Viscount Arendt had already arrived at the door of the Earl's Palace.
"Lord Viscount. ”
Hearing the doorman's announcement, the earl's butler hurried to the door and greeted the viscount.
The butler couldn't see through the twists and turns in the earl's heart, he only knew that this was the most important guest in the earl's palace.
Leo watched the Earl's butler's every move, and unconsciously compared himself to his old butler.
Eventually, Leo shook his head.
Whether it is from the dress, or the steady words and deeds, or the calm bearing, the earl's butler is far behind.
Whether there is an earl or a duke behind him can be seen from the steward's attitude towards people.
"Good morning, Butler Phoebe. Leo nodded slightly, even if he had said hello.
The butler took a breath and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Viscount coming to visit so early?"
Although the butler replied patiently, he did not immediately drive away the unruly Leo. But Leo gave the answer in his heart that his Rasband butler would give.
("Come in, noble Viscount, and even more honorable Viscountess. The Duke has not yet gotten up, and the two adults can wait in the morning tea room for a while. ”)
“... Lord Viscount? Lord Viscount?"
Leo was startled and sobered up from his fantasy.
How could he be in a daze at such a time? Was the scene in front of him too much like he had brought Nana back to his house?
He froze and asked, "Is the Earl up?"
"It's still half an hour before I wake up. ”
"That's just right. Leo bowed slightly and said, "I'm here to have breakfast with Lord Earl." ”
"That doesn't seem right. The butler hesitated.
"You just do it. ”
"Okay. ”
After weighing it, the butler still took Leo into the Earl's Palace.
After waiting at the table for a long time, the Count, who had been woken up by the butler, finished dressing up and sat down opposite Leo. Breakfast was also served one after another.
"I'm very sorry, Viscount Arendt. The Count straightened the hair that hung down from his ears so that it did not obscure his carefully selected earrings. "I don't know that Viscount Arendt visited today, and he was a little lazy in his hospitality. ”
"It's that I'm being rude. Leo calmly laid out the napkins and cloths, and looked more like an earl than Jean Turner.
"Did the Viscount come early in the morning with his wife, just to share breakfast with me?"
The Earl asked casually.
"I don't know. ”
Leo smiled and gave an unexpected answer.
Esenas is just guessing whether Brandwieson exists or not, and he can't predict how things will develop next, so naturally he doesn't know.
The countess swallowed a piece of bread with a bit of jam in her mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "How long does the viscount want to stay with me?"
"Maybe you leave right away, or you can stay for a day. ”
After hearing Leo's vague answer, the Count looked at Nana thoughtfully.
Nana just drank a little soup and sat there quietly.
The habits of the nobility should be cultivated from all aspects, not only the way the nobles greet each other, but also from walking to sitting to eating, there is a complete set of teachings to ensure that the nobles behave elegantly and dignified.
Although Nana has a superb temperament, she still inevitably exposes some civilian habits when eating.
In response, Leo's response was to make Nana do less action and talk less.
"Well, I don't have anything to attend to today, so I'll stay with the Viscount for a day. ”
Leo and Jean had a great conversation, from the choice of wood for the floor, to the neatness of the stone texture, to the emerging forms of entertainment among the aristocracy.
The doubts in Jean's heart grew heavier, this Viscount Arendt's demeanor was impeccable, but this lady always did not say a word.
I'm afraid all this will not be known until today's turning point comes.
It was quickly past noon, and the butler finally delivered this vital news.
"Blandwison?" the countess asked the butler softly, frowning. "You read that right?"
"It's true. ”
"It's a nuisance. What is this guy doing here?"
For most people, Brandwisson means a problem.
"Lord Brandwieson wants to meet with Viscount Arendt. ”
The countess glanced up at Leo and saw that Leo was also smiling at him.
"I see. ”
The countess nodded, and let the butler wait.
"Viscount Arendt. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Leo politely.
"There is a gentleman named Brandwison outside the Earl's Court who wants to meet you. ”
"Nope. Leo replied with a smile.
"Okay, I see. ”
The countess somewhat understood why the Viscount Arendt had come to her early in the morning.
As host, the countess has an obligation to respect the wishes of her guests, and not to allow unrelated people to visit her without their permission, such as Blandwison in front of the door.
Of course, this rule is mostly for decoration, and guests are usually happy to agree to the host's request.
But that doesn't mean the rule counts as invalid. Now is the time for the rules of the nobility to come into play.
Early in the morning, Brandwison received news that Leo was heading to the Earl's Court, and the sudden news disrupted all his plans.
He was supposed to follow the rules of the nobility and send an appointment to Leo early in the morning, and then visit Leo at his invitation.
But now he's been waiting all morning, and the damned viscount hasn't come out of the Earl's Court yet!
This forced him to come and visit at the risk of offending the actual rulers of the city.
"Hello, Lord Blandwisson. The countess stood in the doorway with a cold expression, and greeted Brandwison slightly.
"What did Viscount Arendt say?" asked Brandwisson, straight and pointed.
"Viscount Arendt doesn't want to meet you, please come back, my lordship. ”
Could it be that this viscount is really someone in the Dragon Expedition?
Blandwison thought to himself.
"What if I insist on seeing it?"
"Then I'll have to fight by force. ”
"Force, are you resisting?" said Brandwisson's words with a hint of threat.
As an earl, Jean Turner naturally arrived at the Sanctuary, but there were three Sanctuary in the pursuit team!
Qin inserted the long hair scattered behind his back in a bun at will, and said unhurriedly: "My lord, although I know that the pursuit team has great powers, I think it is better to abide by the etiquette between nobles." This is not the time of a hundred years ago when there was a violent conflict between divine power and royal power, and our relations should still be peaceful and loose, and autocracy should not be allowed to reappear in the world. Moreover, this is the joint diocese of the god of commerce and the god of harvest, not the territory of your Church of Light. ”
Jean Turner was right.
The conflict between divine power and royal power lasted from 400 years ago to 100 years ago, ending with a powerful nobleman leading half of the nobles out of the Illumination Divine Lineage. Now is the honeymoon period between theocracy and kingship after violence.
Although Blandwison acted ruthlessly and exhausted the rules, he was still an orderist who insisted on upholding the existing rules.
Of course, there are occasional ways to entertain in a chaotic way.
His pedantic defense of the rules of the Church of Light is proof of his faction.
Jean Turner's implicit warning made Brandwisson a little irritated.
He felt that all the mysteries in the Golden City were in this count's house, but he didn't have the key to unlock the safe.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, a believer sent an urgent report.
"Lord Brandwison!
Say. Brandwieson had a bad feeling at this point.
"There are two clergyman-like men who claim to be envoys of the Church of Light, and they need to go out of the city to arrest the fugitives and force their way out. ”
Brandwisson's face changed, and he shouted, "Stupid! Didn't I say it! No one can be released out of the city today!"
But the soldiers defending the city didn't know where to hear the rumor that the Golden City was going to be changed by the two dukes, and the two people who went out of the city were full of light and fighting spirit, so the soldiers let them out. ”
Brandwisson's face changed again and again.
Based on this description, he was absolutely sure that the man who had forced his way out of the city was Ent!
But the two dukes united this kind of news, and yesterday the Viscount Arendt only asked a priest to tell him, how could it be flying everywhere in the blink of an eye?
The suddenness of the incident left Brandwisson no room to think about it.
Qin, who was waiting on the side, heard something wrong with it, and slowly spoke: "Lord Brandwison, why didn't I know that my Golden City was going to be closed?"
Brandwisson's face was gloomy, and he replied, "The Church has the right to exercise all its rights in place of the nobility in special times. ”
After saying that, Blandwieson no longer dwelled on Leo's identity, and left without looking back.
Compared with the so-called goddess of nature, Ente is the most important thing in Brandwisson's eyes, so although it can be seen that the identity of Viscount Arendt has huge doubts, Brandvison still chooses to leave it alone.
What's more, after learning about the traces of the dragon adventure group through the strange appearance of the divine body, he was not unprepared at all.
"Chase! Can't cut off Ente's clue!"
The countess, who remained where she was, was savoring the flavourful words of the special period.
Among the three forces, although the Earl has a huge power, in this incident, he knows the least information, and there is even a lot of false information.
But today, the Count finally gets the real and crucial information: Brandwieson has a connection with an event that could be used as a special period!
What dukes unite, noble viscounts, I'm afraid they are all fake, only the contradiction between Viscount Arendt and Brandwieson is real.
The countess, groping in the dark, finally saw a little way forward.
After the countess ordered the butler not to see anyone today, she returned to Leo's side.
"Viscount Arendt. Please forgive me for not knowing who you really are, so I have to call you that. ”
Leo was not surprised by Jean's words, and the count couldn't see anything at this point, so she could only say that she had failed the high expectations of the Duke behind her.
"Brandwieson gone?"
"Of course it's gone. This is the territory of the nobility, and he will not mess around yet. But I'm afraid the viscount will mess around. Jean's beautiful eyes were all on Leo.
Leo smiled and asked, "What if I mess around?"
"Then I'll have to follow the mess. ”
"You're not afraid that what I'm doing will be bad for you?"
"I'm afraid it's even worse for the church. ”
Leo understood what the countess meant.
It can be seen from Blandwisson's forcible replacement of Jean to take over the Golden City that the aristocracy is half a head lower than the church.
At this time, there is an opportunity to greatly weaken the power of the church in the Golden City, and Qin cannot ask for it.
"I see, then here's what our plan is next..."
