Chapter 188: An Upstart
Before the Mithril family's carriage reached the central square, it was already difficult to move an inch.
On the side of the road, onlookers crowded every inch of space. And on the road, the carts full of booty converged into a long river, and there was no end in sight, and there were many warriors guarding and defending along the way, and they could not approach at all.
The guards of the Lord's Mansion who were traveling with them were forced to come forward to negotiate, and only after receiving permission did they slowly follow the queue to the central square.
The three people in the carriage looked at the scene outside the carriage through the curtain, shocked, ecstatic, and uneasy.......
"Father, look....... Isn't that cart loaded with a huge piece of emerald stone, and if it were in my hands, I would be able to make a perfect ....... Ah, there's a lot of silver over there, it's the perfect modifier......." Borg was dazzled and cried out in obsession.
Bob, who was full of worries, was a little upset, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Calm down, can you not be like a country boy who has never seen the world, you are a great craftsman, although you are not a nobleman, but you also have to maintain your own identity." ”
Unbeknownst to him, Borg was still excitedly watching the precious loot along the way.......
Bob looked at his son like this, sighed helplessly, looked sideways at his daughter beside him, and asked softly, "Fei'er, what are you thinking?"
After Fei'er came back to her senses, she replied leisurely, "Your Excellency has invited me to be his chief administrative officer........ I think that he was in a hurry to invite me to discuss the matter this time, and most likely wanted me to take stock of the spoils and settle the prisoners....... I'm going to do some preparation in advance. ”
When Bob heard this, he scoffed a little: "Daughter, I think you're thinking too much." Counting the spoils of war is the business of the lord's family, which has a lot to do with it, and outsiders are not allowed to touch it at all. And the placement of prisoners is also a big deal, if it is not handled properly, it will cause chaos, the prestige of the lord will inevitably be damaged, if the placement is good, those people will only be grateful to the person who is good to them, and the lord should not hand over such a matter to you!"
Fei'er was a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically, "In that case, is it necessary for the lord to invite me?"
"Of course it is!, I suspect that the lord will probably ask you to help him estimate the value of the loot and sell it on his behalf......." Bob also had his own idea.
Fei'er glanced at her father angrily and muttered, "The lord won't be so boring!"
"Don't think of a nobleman as too nice, it doesn't make any sense!" Bob wanted to take the opportunity to teach a few words.
"Hmph, this lord is different from other nobles........ I'm convinced!"
The conversation between the father and daughter ended unhappily again. And Borg, who was on the side, was still staring at carts of loot with little stars in his eyes, and couldn't take his eyes off it at all.......
When they arrived at the checkpoint outside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion guard who led the way stepped forward to report and passed through the checkpoint smoothly.
When they reached the wide road, the father and daughter got out of the carriage full of concern, but Borg looked at the spoils in the distance and lingered.
After the three of them got out of the carriage, they found that it was not only the Mithril family who was invited, but also some famous minor nobles, even Baron Harold of the White family and Baron Sylvia of the Hall family were also impressively listed.
Bob looked at the nobles in front of him, and felt a little better, not to mention that the lord's treatment of the Mithril family was already very good.
Everyone who was waiting was a little surprised when they saw the three members of the Mithril family get out of the carriage. And they held their own identities, and they didn't come forward to say hello, pretending to ignore them.
Baron Sylvia of the Hall family was the only one who nodded at Bob.......
The Hale family occupies a large number of minerals, and from time to time some valuable minerals will be produced, some of which can be sold, and occasionally sold to the Mithril family. In this way, Bob and Baron Sylvia have also met a few times.
On such occasions, Bob was so grateful to be greeted by a baron that he hurriedly led his son and daughter to meet them.
After the three of them gave a salute, Sylvia said politely: "No need to be polite, we are all invited, and we are all guests." ”
Bob humbly said, "It's a great honor to meet Lord Baron here. I ask for your understanding that I have not been able to express my gratitude in person for taking care of you in the past. ”
"Hehe, things that are mutually beneficial, there is no need to be grateful. Sylvia was also quite kind.
She vaguely realized that the fact that the people of the Mithril family could appear here at such a time should be appreciated by the lord. Out of these considerations, she also carefully coped with a few words.
At this moment, Mike came quickly, and after first finding Baron Harold and saying a few words, he came to Sylvia's side.
"Lord Baron, Lord Lord, please enter the Lord's Mansion and discuss some important matters first. Mike bowed respectfully.
Sylvia nodded, then smiled at Bob and said, "If there's anything else, you can talk about it later!"
In the face of this overture, Bob was secretly happy in his heart and responded repeatedly.
Sylvia beckoned to the battle maid, and was about to walk towards the main entrance of the Lord's Mansion, when she suddenly heard Mike make the same invitation to the little girl who was following Bob, and she was a little curious, so she stopped and looked at it.
When she saw the little girl's golden and silver eyes, she quickly thought of her identity.......
"Miss Phil Mithril, the lord has specially instructed you to go in first!" Mike's attitude was also very respectful.
Fei'er was immediately overjoyed and responded, "Thank you for your notice!"
She looked at her father and brother again, and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, can my father and brother also go in together?"
Mike was a little stunned when he heard this, and looked at Bob and Borg father and son, some of whom didn't know how to answer. The lord didn't give a special explanation, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions.
Seeing this, Bob was horrified, and hurriedly urged: "Fei'er, don't be too troublesome....... Your lord has only invited you, so go in quickly, and it's a great honor for me and your brother to wait here!"
If it weren't for this kind of occasion, he would have reprimanded him a few words, and said in his heart: Your Excellency summons the two barons and you alone, which means that there is something important that needs to be discussed and concluded as soon as possible. And this kind of thing, not let more people know, you at this time, it is too premature to make such "excessive demands.......
Fei'er was too excited to get carried away for a while, and after reacting, she also regretted it a little, nodded with a red face, and quickly turned around and walked to the main gate of the lord's mansion.
Bob looked at his daughter's back, and suddenly felt a little sad, but also a little proud........ He sighed softly.
Sylvia looked at Fei'er seriously, without any contempt.
With the wisdom shown by this young lord, this little girl must be outstanding if she can be appreciated by him. Moreover, the young lord controls unimaginable power, and his future achievements are limitless, even if he can't succeed to the position of the Elector of the Liuyun family, he will definitely be able to open up his own title.
At that time, cronies like these will also be on the rise. If it's a little worse, it will also be a knight, and if it's a little better, it will definitely be able to advance to the baron.
She had expected that the person invited would be the master craftsman Bob Mithril, but she never expected it to be this little girl.......
Thinking of the future scene, she took the initiative to step forward and greeted with a smile: "You....... It's Miss Phil Mithril. ”
"Ah....... Greetings, greetings, Lord Baron!" said Phil politely.
"You're welcome! if you don't mind, we'll be able to pass!" said Sylvia.
"It's my honor!" Fei'er replied without humility or arrogance.
When the two walked towards the main entrance of the Lord's Mansion together, Baron Harold in front also noticed the situation behind, and even took the initiative to stop, looking back in the direction of the two, as if waiting for the arrival of the two.
After the three of them converged, Baron Harold nodded at Sylvia and looked at Phil with interest.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're Miss Phil Mithril of the Mithril family, who is known as 'both wise and beautiful'!"
Fei'er said humbly, "Thank you, Lord Baron, for your appreciation." Compared to you, that's just a little cleverness. ”
"Haha....... The cleverness that can be appreciated by this lord is also a special cleverness!" Harold smiled heartily.
He and Sylvia have similar thoughts, and they both know that this little girl is very likely to be an upstart in the future, so they naturally want to make friends.
But he was slightly different from Sylvia in that he felt a little more unhappy. Because this little girl who suddenly appeared was able to sit on an equal footing with him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.......
Seeing this, Sylvia rounded up in time: "Two, the lord is waiting for us, we can't let him wait for a long time!"
"Exactly, exactly......." Baron Harold turned and walked towards the Lord's Palace.
It seems that he will look more respectful when he walks in front of the two, which also makes him a little more relaxed.
The two people who followed behind looked at each other as if they had a tacit understanding, and the smiles they squeezed out were a little bad......
