Chapter 22: The Baron
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Gu Feicang suddenly recalled that this was the comrade-in-arms of the original father Jacob Stewart, Leslie, it is said that he is already the same as Jacob, he is also a one-meter warrior from the grassroots and has the strength of a high-level fighter, but unlike Jacob who belongs to White Rock City, Jacob has been holding an important position in the Third Legion of the Cross Empire.
It is said that Jacob originally belonged to the Storm Legion, but later, because he married Gu Feicang's mother and had a child, he hoped to be able to settle down, so he left the Storm Legion and settled in White Rock City, but he still died on the battlefield, which made people sigh.
However, although he left the Storm Legion, the relationship between Leslie and Jacob is still very close, almost every year, as long as Leslie is resting, he will definitely come to White Rock City to meet with Jacob, it can be said that around little Francisco, in addition to Jacob, the closest person belongs to Leslie, let's just say that this time, if it weren't for the fact that the Storm Legion was fighting the orcs in front when Jacob died, I'm afraid Francisco would not have died tragically, and he would not have used Gu Feicang's crossing.
Therefore, seeing Leslie appear, Gu Feicang was very surprised, "Uncle Leslie, why are you, aren't you in the Storm Legion? Why did you come to the White Field Outpost? I thought you were here to assassinate me? But it scared me to death." ”
Seeing Gu Feicang, Leslie was also happy, and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that little Francisco, you have actually become a magician, speaking of which, I am still here specifically for you." “
"For me?" Gu Feicang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Leslie suspiciously.
"Yes, but are you going to talk to me like that?" Leslie nodded, then pointed to the spear-wielding pikemen who were staring at him.
Gu Feicang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly waved them down, and found Ashley again, and prepared tea and barbecue for Leslie, and then the two of them sat down and began to talk.
"Little Francisco, I didn't expect you to become a magician, and this group of soldiers, even if they are placed in the Storm Legion, they are still elite soldiers, where did you get it, could it be that your father secretly recruited it all these years?" Leslie took a sip of water and sighed.
Gu Feicang smiled when he heard this, and did not answer this question, but asked directly: "Uncle Leslie, you haven't said why you came here? And you came late at night, like a thief, if it weren't for your strength, I'm afraid you would have been damaged here today." ”
Hearing this, Leslie sighed, and then said: "That's the case, before, I had been fighting against the orcs in the Storm Legion, but I didn't expect that Jacob would return to heaven like this, and I didn't even have time to attend his funeral, so at the end of the war, I went to White Rock City to see you, thinking that without Jacob to rely on, you kid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in White Rock City." “
"As a result, when I arrived in Baishi City, I only knew, which group of black-hearted nobles were deceived by you, and what kind of consul did you come to the Baiye outpost, phew, the Baiye outpost has been abandoned for so many years, and the role of the original strategic outpost has long been gone, what more archons, not to mention that I got the news, the Baiye outpost has long been occupied by kobolds, this is obviously for your life, this group of disgusting guys, I really hope to be able to kill them all, I don't want to fight the orcs well, but I only know how to play with intrigues. “
"I was really worried when I learned that you came to the White Field Outpost, so I rushed over overnight, thinking that this place was controlled by the kobolds, so I thought about sneaking in, but fortunately, your father also knew that he left some people for you, and it seems that you also took the White Field Outpost, which can also be regarded as a military achievement, so that you inherit the title of baron more justifiably. Leslie said with a look of relief.
"Baron?" Hearing this, Gu Feicang couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Leslie suspiciously, "Uncle Leslie, what do you mean by inheriting the baron?" I remember that my father's title is only a reward, not hereditary?"
Leslie was also slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Yes, Jacob was awarded the imperial reward title because of his military exploits, and he can only enjoy the treatment of nobles, but this title cannot be passed down, but in the last battle of White Rock City, your father died heroically and defended White Rock City, according to the laws of the empire, his title will be promoted to a hereditary title." ”
"After his death, the title will be extended to you, that is, as long as you return to White Rock City and officially inherit your father's title, you will be a new baron in the Cross Empire, of course, if you unfortunately die, according to the specific rules of White Rock City, there will be another person to inherit the title of baron for you, but this title will also become a reward, but there will be more room for improvement in the future. Leslie said.
Hearing this, Gu Fei suddenly thought that his family's properties had already been divided, but those people still couldn't wait to die by themselves, it seems that they are not for those insignificant industries, but for the so-called barony, although, in the Yafa world, strength is the first priority, but the name of a nobleman also contains a lot of power, if the plan is good, it is enough to bring a lot of benefits to a family and a force, but it is more attractive than those industries.
"I see, no wonder they want me to come to the White Field Outpost, if it weren't for the means left by my father, probably, I would have died at the hands of the kobold by now. Gu Feicang couldn't help but sigh.
"Who said no, these filthy nobles, fortunately little Francisco you are fine, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to your dead father, in this way, today you have a good rest, tomorrow, I will take you back to White Rock City to inherit the title of baron, I want to see, who dares to calculate you, is it really me Leslie is a dead man?" Leslie snorted coldly when he heard this, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Feicang couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it was because of his strong strength, the high-level fighter-level Leslie, even if he was placed in Baishi City, was enough to rank in the forefront, not to mention anything else, if he also had the strength of a high-level magician, I am afraid that in Baishi City, even the city lord Abbas would have to treat him differently, there would be no such and such calculations, where would there be so many plans.
