"You know my son too?"
The middle-aged woman asked excitedly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course, he's Brother Allen's best friend, and they used to be to my hometown together, and we all remember. ”
The little girl and Stanny both nodded, they were embarrassed to say that Elvis was still fighting with them for barbecue.
"So you're all friends with El, so good! ”
The middle-aged woman confirmed that she did not recognize the wrong person, and knelt down in front of several people with a "plop", kowtowed, and pleaded.
"Madame, get up quickly. ”
The little girl was startled by the middle-aged woman's actions, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"If you don't promise me, I won't get up. ”
The middle-aged woman is Elvis's mother, Winnie Vera, Elvis was captured by horse bandits, but the Count of Lorraine hesitated under the interference of his wife, and has not been able to make up her mind, she has been desperate to save her son, but at this time she suddenly met Elvis's old man, how to give up easily.
"Ma'am, can you tell us what happened? Rest assured, Elvis is Brother Allen's best friend, and he will not die without help. ”
The little girl kindly comforted the middle-aged woman.
"Elvis was captured by horse bandits......"
The middle-aged woman had already started crying before she could finish a sentence.
Alan walked into the living room, his eyes swept around lightly, and there was a couple in fine clothes sitting opposite, among them the man was about fifty years old, and the woman looked younger, this should be Elvis's father, the Earl of Lorraine, and the wife of the Earl of Lorraine, and next to the two sat a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who should be Elvis's half-brother, and there were several maids standing next to the three of them, and there was no one else.
El is not there, which also confirms what happened just now, if he is there, the Lorraine family will not be full of hostility towards themselves, but without Elvis's help, I am afraid that the matter of buying food will be a little troublesome to talk about.
Where would El be if he wasn't at home, would he still stay at the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, or venture around the continent?
"Alan Kanter, I have seen His Excellency the Earl. ”
Alan quickly gathered his thoughts and bowed to the Lord Earl who was sitting on guard, the other party was the father of a good friend, and the necessary respect was still required.
"Master Kante, welcome to Lorraine Manor. ”
Since the other party had already come in, and was polite on the surface, the Earl of Lorraine had to suppress the anger in his heart, stood up and saluted back, and then invited Alan to sit down on the side before asking:
"I don't know why the mage came all the way to get here in the wind and rain?"
"Lord Earl, your son Elvis and I used to be classmates of the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, and we had a good relationship back then, but I have been wandering outside all these years and have not seen him, is he okay?"
Before getting to the point, Alan still asked about the current situation of Elvis that he was most concerned about, and at the same time, he also hoped to be able to get close to eliminating the hostility caused by breaking into the manor before.
The Earl of Lorraine did not immediately answer Alan's words, but turned his head to look at his wife, and they both saw a kind of surprise and delight in each other's eyes.
Of course, the two people who have read countless people can hear that Allen's tone is not testing them, so there is only one possibility, Allen doesn't know about Elvis's recent situation at all, and it is even very likely that he is not here for Elvis this time, all this is just a coincidence, so their previous worries are completely unwarranted.
The Count of Lorraine was not only overjoyed, but it would be great if it were true.
"Your Excellency, Elvis only returned home more than two years ago, but he did not stay at home for long, so he took a group of servants to the south to tend to the vineyards, and he has lived there for the past two years, and rarely returns. ”
The Count of Lorraine calmed down a little before he spoke, he was right, Elvis had been living in the vineyard since he returned, but not all.
"I see! How far is the vineyard from here?"
Alan nodded, hesitated and asked. He didn't doubt the Count's words, because from what he knew about Elvis, what the Count of Lorraine said did look like his own good brother's way of doing things, and if he had a choice that he didn't like to live with the rest of the family, Alan was hesitating whether he should take the time to meet Elvis first.
"Walk south along the main road to the door, about sixty miles, and you will see a small hill on the south-facing slope of the vineyard, where the sun shines all year round, and the white grapes are especially sweet and perfect for making muller. Although there are still some days before the grapes are ripe, the cellar contains many years ago muller, which is definitely the best wine of the whole continent, and your Excellency the magician can taste it, and I am sure you will not be disappointed. ”
The Earl of Lorraine said with a smile, and the reason why he said this was because he really wanted to lure Alan to the side of the vineyard, as soon as Alan left, he would immediately ask for help from the nearest garrison, and with the protection of the army, he would no longer have to fear the threat of these people.
"I have drunk the wine produced by the Earl's family, especially the Muller wine you just mentioned, which is indeed a must in the mainland, and I have traveled all over the years and drank a lot of Muller wine, but the taste and texture are not as good as those produced by the Earl's family. ”
The words of the Earl of Lorraine evoked Alan's memories, the winemaking of the Lorraine family is very famous, when he was in the Academy of Magic, Elvis's sharpest weapon was definitely not a variety of magic spells, but muller, using muller, the relationship between the top and bottom of the school can be all opened except for the old man, and even some students of the knight academy have maintained a good relationship with him, the most representative of which is Robert, when Alan and they went to the knight academy auditorium to listen to the speech of General Bernard Nicholas, the hero who fought against the orcs, it was the opportunity that Elvis got from Robert through two bottles of wine.
"In that case, when are you going to hit the road?"
The Count of Lorraine was eager for the killer to leave immediately.
"No hurry, I have another matter to discuss with His Excellency the Earl. ”
Alan waved his hand, temporarily putting aside the idea of going to see Elvis immediately.
"Oh?"
Count Lorraine showed a look of surprise, it seemed that the other party really did not come for Elvis, but had another purpose, and he guessed correctly.
"Lord Earl, because of Elvis's relationship, I won't hide it from you, I have a friend who has encountered some difficulties and needs a lot of food to solve the difficulty, so I came this time mainly to purchase some food from Lord Earl. ”
Alan watched the Earl of Lorraine's expression as he spoke.
Although the expression of the Earl of Lorraine did not seem to change on the surface, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, since Alan and they were here to ask for themselves, then it would be easy to do.
