Chapter 54: The Father and the Son

On the way back to their mansion, both Ray and Jerry praised Krobas's actions. Lei said with emotion: "That little kid, is he the only son of Krobasi? No wonder he was so nervous, he dared to sneak into our empire with seven apprentices, and even rescued people from the prison of the garrison department. Lei said this, but in his heart he deliberately avoided thinking about related things, and he didn't want his heart to taste the kind of almost shattered pain again.

Jerry also admired: "Sure enough, he is a master, haven't you heard? Those spies sent out to plunder his son were almost all killed by him, and only two people escaped with that little ghost easily, hehe, and went directly to the prison to set up an ambush, who knew that he really chased and killed all the way." Who knew that he was injured by thirteen instructors as soon as he appeared, and it was easy to save his son from the death, but he ran into us again, so he was unlucky. ”

Lei Yin smiled: "If his luck is good, then our luck is not good, that Krobas, but a very powerful adjudicator, right? If we can let him help us wholeheartedly, maybe in a few decades, we can also have a group of adjudicators." Hopefully, away from the territory of the Ryter Empire, the children we have chosen will be able to learn and use the magic of adjudication. ”

Jerry laughed, stroked the mane around his horse's neck, and said, "That's no problem." To tell the truth, without the blessing of the temples of each country, the corresponding magic cannot be used. But Krobas is a priest who can use the blessings of the god Rhett, so we have to kidnap his child, and as long as he is willing to hand over his priesthood and power to us at that time, we can secretly train a group of judges. Of course, there is a limit to the number of people a priest can bless, and we can't train too many adjudicators, but it is an opportunity to strengthen our empire. ”

Lei blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "But, won't they have a lot of trouble in their country?" A high-level mage suddenly disappeared, wouldn't anyone be suspicious?"

Jerry smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the people from the garrison department must have taken care of it, the most common method is nothing more than killing a few people, throwing their bodies into the burning Kekropas's house, hehe, and then using our spies in the Rhett Empire to report that he was killed by the people seeking revenge, isn't this done?"

Lei nodded suddenly and said, "Oh, I see, so I need to learn when I do things in the future, and when I do things, I have to clean up the scene, this is called destroying the corpse, isn't it? ”

Jerry smiled and nodded again and again: "Ray, it's very good, you have used a few adjectives when you speak, well, but it's still not enough, your mouth needs to be a little sweeter, a little more greasy, so as to attract the eyes of those young ladies and ladies, you see, when you attended the banquet this month, the eyes of those chicks were staring at you, but unfortunately you talk like thunder, who dares to approach you?"

Ray's eyes widened and he asked, "So, how do you say you should speak?

Jerry sighed, revealing a misty, hazy, slightly sad expression. Gently, elegantly, he said, "See, you have to keep that face, and say those words in your softest voice, at a slower pace." At the same time, it is better to add a little more exclamation words to each sentence, such as God, God, Your Majesty, etc., and at the same time raise the tone of your voice a little bit. ”

Jerry cleared his throat and said in a serious way, for example, "Oh my God, dear lady Koh Xili, this amethyst necklace of yours is so beautiful... However, such a necklace is a waste to wear around your neck... God, he has no way to bring out your beauty, but only adds a little variegation to your immaculate countenance... Oh, do you need any decorations like you? No, no, no, that's absolutely not needed. ”

Glancing at the dumbfounded Ray, Jerry asked, "Got it, if you can learn my tone, you can fish for a lot of beauties." ”

Lei let out a long sigh and lowered his head gloomily. He muttered to himself, "Damn, if I can learn to talk like this, I won't have to go to the pink goblin every day to find a woman, alas... Well, do I need to hire a court courtesant? so that I can teach me some etiquette. ”

The two chatted, and gradually reached the door of the two's mansion. Jerry greeted with a smile and poured into the gate of his courtyard with his guards. Ray took his guard brigade and continued to walk two hundred meters down the street, which was the gate of his mansion, he turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the horse to a guard knight, and swung his body with only a cloak and swayed into the gate.

Karub was standing in the porter waiting for Ray, and when he saw Ray coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "My lord, are you back? I guess it's almost time, this, you... ”

Ray, who had been dealing with those nobles for so long, knew some of their ways of speaking, and had also learned some skills in observing words and feelings, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, Mentor Karubb, you can say something, just say it, what can you say to me?"

Karubb's face was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a while, he still gritted his teeth and whispered: "My lord, this, I actually want to join the army, but, you see, I am now the tutor of the Imperial Capital Military Academy, can I, can you help me transfer me out of the academy? I really want to join the imperial army." ”

Lei looked at Karub in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Strange, according to your strength, if you want to join the army, you should be the one that all legions are rushing to want, why?"

Karubb hesitated for a moment, and after biting his lip heavily, he said: "This, my uncle offended the second son of the Walters family, and they said that it is strictly forbidden for any legion to take me in, otherwise they will find trouble with that legion, so in order not to affect the relationship between their own family and the Walters family, the various legions of other legions will also... ”

Thunder slammed his fist into the wall of the gatehouse, and the doorkeeper squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his eyes sneaking a glance at the big hole that Ray had smashed out with his punch. Thunder said sullenly: "The Walters family, are they great? Hmph, no matter how many of them are, my dragon legion wants you, tomorrow I will go to Lomat and ask him to add your name to the officers of the legion." I think your martial arts skills are enough to act as an officer at the level of division commander. However, as you know, now we have 300,000 people in a legion, but we only claim that there are only three divisions, so we have to be a team leader first, hum, when we officially send troops, the entire legion will be organized into fifteen divisions, and you are the commander of the fourth division in addition to Kuhn. ”

Karub fell to his knees overjoyed, and said in a loud voice, "My lord, then, I swear that I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life." ”

Lei hurriedly grabbed Karub with one hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are my mentor, it should be me who salutes you, and you swear allegiance to me... Is this... Ray's heart swirled with thoughts: "Jerry said, if others swear allegiance to him, then he must not refuse, otherwise the knight's honor will be greatly damaged, and he has no other way but to commit suicide... What a hassle. ”

Ray waved his hand and said, "Mentor Karubb, then, you are the leader of the knights of my Ray family. But I'm sorry.,I'm the only one in my whole family now.,My family knight.,You're the only one.。。。 I'm really sorry. ”

Karub smiled, "My lord, if you want, I can select a group of the best civilian knights among the knights of the academy and make them swear allegiance to you." ”

Lei Daxi hit Karubb's shoulder hard, and smashed Karubb's body trembling, and then said with a smile: "Then, just do it, you can handle this matter as soon as possible." Damn, Jerry always bragged to me, saying that in addition to the five hundred knights of the Empire's personal guard, he also had two hundred family knights, hum, you can find me more people, so that he can brag in front of me all day long... By the way, what does that Walters family do?"

Karub's brows furrowed, and he whispered: "The Walts family is a big military family that controls the two major military lines of the Imperial Guard and the Praetorian Guard, and even among the thirty great knights of the Imperial Knight Association now, three of them are members of their family, so in the military system of the Empire, they are very powerful... Seeing Lei's confused expression, Karub hurriedly explained: "The three major military systems of the empire, they control the legions of the two major military systems, and they are also a very powerful force in the overall military power of the empire. ”

Lei snorted and said, "What is that? Those are the three major military systems of the empire... By the way, I remember, the three major military departments of the empire, and the legion directly under the garrison department is also one, right? Hmph, we are the Five Beast Legion, I don't care about the people of the Walters family, if you want to make trouble, watch me beat their people, okay, Mentor Karubb, it's okay, the other people don't want you, I want it. Haha, when you attack the other six countries in the future, you use your 'Tyrannosaurus Sword' to kill a few more high-ranking knights of the enemy, and let the people of Walters take a look... When you have military merits, I will make you the deputy commander of the legion, anyway, now Crete is busy there alone, he is almost too busy to die. ”

Karubu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Ray staggered by Karubb's shoulders and walked towards the main building, muttering, "Where did that guy Lomat go? Alas, Godia, do you know where Lomat's house is, and come with me to him tomorrow... I've been taking culture classes for more than a month, so it's time for me to take a break tomorrow and we'll go to Lomat's house. ”

Gosia and Groot hurriedly responded and cautiously followed Ray towards the main building. Ray had been attending banquets every night for the past month, and he would often howl in his room after the alcohol was high. When Ray was at the banquet just now, he also drank a lot of spirits, but he chased and killed Kekrobasi just now, maybe he was addicted, and the strength of the wine was suppressed by the fighting spirit, and now that he has returned to the mansion, if he wants to go crazy, it is almost time.

Half an hour later, the sound of the huge bed collapsing came from inside Ray's bedroom, and then there was a vibration from the entire main building, which subsided.

Early in the morning, Ray touched his slightly bruised eye sockets and walked out of the gate with Karub, Gosia and Groot. Ray muttered, "Strange, was I drunk again yesterday? Why don't I have any impression? Strange, why did my bed collapse like this? And, my eyes, are you sure I stumbled on the tea table to become like this?"

Karubb, Gosia, and Groot hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, you don't know, after you returned to the mansion yesterday, the wine was so strong that you almost demolished the entire main building." My lord, when you feel that the wine is churning in your stomach in the future, you can use your fighting spirit to force the alcohol out of your body. ”

Lei looked at Karub in surprise and asked, "Is that the case? Mentor Karubb? Is there still this kind of use of Douqi? By the way, what can Douqi do, you can teach me all later, I rushed down from the sky yesterday, and I almost didn't break my neck." Ray remembered what happened last night, and touched his neck with a little indignation.

Karubb looked at Ray blankly, and suddenly laughed: "My lord, you actually... Oh my God, the strength of your fighting spirit, I have been in the Imperial Capital Academy for so many years, and your fighting spirit is the most powerful, but you still can't use your own fighting spirit proficiently? ”

Ray sighed, shrugged his shoulders, looked at the cleaners who were busy sweeping the street on the street, and said unusually frankly: "My fighting spirit is not something I have trained myself." My own Dou Qi foundation was forcibly pressed into my body, and that guy was also a very powerful Golden Fifth Order Knight, so my foundation was much stronger than ordinary people. In addition, after I gained the foundation of internal qi, I have been fighting desperately, and my physical training is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary people. In the end, the person who taught me Dou Qi in a strange way is a ridiculously strong person, and he also left a part of his Dou Qi in my body, which is why I became so strong, but I really don't know those basic things. ”

Groot was a little surprised and asked, "My lord, your fighting spirit is only a part of that person's legacy?"

Lei muttered in a low voice: "Can he not be strong?" The Lion Knight Rhine, one of the thirteen high-ranking knights of the 'Divine City' Glory Knights, should have more than forty times the strength of the ordinary Golden Fifth Order Knight's fighting spirit. The entire Knights of Glory, the lowest-level creeps, are all at a relatively high level among the Golden Fifth Order Knights. ”

Karub, Gosia, and Groot were all dumbfounded, they knew for the first time how Ray's fighting spirit came about.

Walking all the way through the thick snow, Lei said with a smile: "When I used to be in the mountains, I liked the snowy days the most, at that time, the footprints left by those stupid beasts on the snow were enough for me to chase them into the cave, hehe... Karubb, we don't go out with the Guards, Master Siddock won't blame me then, will he?"

Kalubu laughed: "My lord, don't worry, we are going to the settlement of the nobles in the city, where the security is the strictest in the entire imperial capital except for the imperial palace, and the New Year is approaching, the security of the security department is more than ten times tighter, and no one will have the audacity to sneak attack you." Rest assured. ”

Lei looked at the groups of officers and soldiers of the garrison who were swaying back and forth on the street in high spirits, nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, that's right, well, these soldiers are so strong... When spring begins, I'm going to go to the Dragon Legion to have a look, and select a group of strong and tall soldiers, I have other uses for them. Feeling Ray still remembered the thoughts of his longbowmen.

Gosia pulled out his feet in a particularly deep snow pit a little embarrassed, and said: "My lord, don't worry, now Lord Crete and they are in the barracks all day to supervise the training of the brothers, with them in charge, even in winter, the brothers will not relax, and I guarantee that in the spring, we can have a very strong army... It's a pity that the Dragon Legion was originally heavy cavalry, but now the empire has insufficient war horses, so we are equipped with 150,000 heavy infantry, which is also helpless. ”

Karub smiled, "Do you like the hoplites, so when the time comes, let me lead the hoplites." ”

Ray nodded in agreement, and they walked outside the courtyard of Lomat's house. This is a large courtyard, it can be seen that the previous owner of the courtyard used to be very beautiful, the high wall of the minaret, the dense beech trees in the iron gate, all prove that this courtyard once had a glory. However, the fact that the coat of arms the size of a shield was covered by a piece of iron sheet and replaced with a plate-sized badge with a particularly simple pattern told all passers-by that the family had fallen into ruin.

Looking at the majestic knights at the gate of the courtyard nearby, and then at the deserted gate of Lomat's house, Lei couldn't help frowning slightly, and whispered: "Strange, who came to visit Lomat early in the morning? You see, at least four carriages and thirty war horses entered the courtyard. ”

Gosia shook his head again and again and said: "It's hard to say, Lomat's father Esther is now just the head of a small office in the Ministry of State, and this is because of Lomart's merits, so no one is necessarily going to visit him, right?"

Ray shook his head and said, "No matter how much it is, don't think about things that you can't figure out, let's go, let's go in, look at this, there will be no servants in the Lomat family to open the door." Lei pushed open the half-open iron door, and walked towards the main building of the courtyard with a crunch and crunch through the thick snow.

The main building of the courtyard is very popular hundreds of years ago, the kind of style with a lot of knight statues as decoration, the front is up to 100 meters wide, and the height is no more than 12 meters, which is the height of the three-story building, so that the whole main building looks very solemn style, which is very in line with the style of a big nobleman. But now the white statues are all covered with black dust, and there are large and small ice cubes hanging on them, and the roof of the entire main building is also broken in many places, and it looks like there is a bleak atmosphere.

Lei frowned and approached the main building, and sure enough, outside the stairs of the main building, there were four luxurious carriages parked, and dozens of war horses were randomly tied to the railing of the verandah outside the main building. The coachmen of these carriages seemed to have entered the building, and no one could see them.

Ray strode into the main building with a somewhat ugly face, he knew some imperial etiquette from Comoso, and the coachman was not allowed to enter the main building, unless you wanted to show extreme contempt for the master. Ray probably knew what trouble they were in with Lomat, but he didn't expect something like this to happen to Lomat.

There was no one on the first floor, Lei rushed straight to the second floor, the main buildings of these aristocratic mansions, maybe the exterior style is different, but the interior layout is generally the same, Lei walked directly through the hall on the second floor, pushed open a tall oak door, walked through a small reception room, and went to the outside of the conference room at the far edge of the second floor. Several old servants were standing outside the reception room in silence, carefully opening the door and eavesdropping on the voices inside.

A young voice was there and said proudly, "Oh, dear Baron d'Esther, my old baron, in any case, the five thousand gold coins you borrowed from my family always have to be returned, right? God, my God, that was a few years ago, but after all, you have to return it? I am a man of great conscience, I will not do anything too out of the ordinary, after all, it was to save your wife, you borrowed this money from my father, right? ”

A hoarse old man's voice rang out: "Viscount Vic Walters, I'm sorry, can you give me a few days? ”

Vic Walters and a few other young men burst out laughing: "Oh my God, how many days of grace do you want? For the sake of your mother-in-law, you borrowed fifty-five thousand gold coins from my father to save her life, but she died... Oh, damn mother-in-law... In the past few years, you have only returned 2,000 gold coins, really, I don't know where you made a fortune, and you suddenly returned my 48,000 gold coins a few days ago, God, since you can afford to repay more than 40,000 gold coins, then, the remaining 5,000 gold coins, you must also return it. ”

A thief's voice sounded: "Vic, Baron d'Esther's salary is only two hundred gold coins per month, my God, he still has to maintain such a large courtyard, and it is not easy to return two thousand gold coins in four years, I suspect that he must have done something not very good to be able to repay your forty thousand gold coins a few days ago... Baron d'Esther, are you doing something corrupt?"

Lomat's angry voice rang out: "Vic, Elote, you are not allowed to insult my father, those gold coins are my bounty, understand? It is the bounty I got from birth and death, you... ”

Vic's voice was cold, "Is it? Lomat?Oh, by the way, it seems that you have been promoted to the rank of first class because of your war? You are now a baron, and your father is also a viscount, but, dear Lord Baron, the money owed is always returned, or, by the way, are you willing to take a more elegant way?"

Lomat whispered, "Okay, okay, you say, what the hell are you going to do?"

Vic said gloomily: "If you can't return my five thousand gold coins for this courtyard of yours, then, dear Lomat, use your yard to pay for it." ”

Suddenly there was the sound of heavy wooden objects falling to the ground from upstairs, and several old servants whispered: "Oh my God, oh my God, what are they going to turn over? ”

Ray's anger grew stronger, and when he heard the chatters of several old servants, his anger had reached its peak. He thought angrily, "Oh my God, why? Why can I get a bounty of millions of gold coins, and I can get a large fief? And what about Lomat? Isn't he the one who deceived the Six-Nation Alliance from Horn City? In the Qingfeng Plain, the Xili Province, and the Turk Gorge, wasn't he the one who fought desperately with us? Wasn't he the one who found out that the situation was wrong on the battlefield and advised the Tyrannical Lion Legion to flee and keep the entire legion? However, he only received a bounty of a few tens of thousands of gold coins?"

Thunder's anger is almost brewing into an evil fire. But he didn't know that for the civilian soldiers of the empire, being able to receive tens of thousands of gold coins after a battle was already very high. According to the Empire's military merit regulations, Lomat did not kill a few enemies with his own hands, so how could he receive a bounty that was too high?

With a 'boom', the angry thunder smashed the door of the conference room, and his whole body rushed in with a murderous aura. Karubb, Gosia, and Groot also rushed in, and then, they quickly drew their swords out of their sheaths, forcing a dozen young men who were still sitting on the sofa just now, and now jumped up quickly, and drew their long swords.

An angry Lomat was standing at his desk in the conference room, holding an old man who was no more than fifty years old, but who looked to be seventy years old. The old man's face was full of sorrow and gloom, but now it was full of horror, like a frightened beast. Suddenly, Ray saw his mother's appearance on the old man's face, and his heart suddenly ached heavily.

Ray approached Lomat with a murderous face, and then, a heavy slap slap pulled Lomat from the edge of the table to the ground two meters away, Esther quickly stood up, hugged Lei's arm, and said in horror: "God, this lord, don't beat my son, he, he is not sensible, you can rest assured, you can rest assured, I, I will go to find the deed immediately, I, I will give you this yard, I, I will give it to you... ”

Two tears flowed from Esther's eyes, and the face that was occupied by a look of misery that would never appear on the face of a nobleman was distorted together for a moment. Re also shed two tears inexplicably, his hand was tightly hugged by Esther, and he didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting Esther. He just turned his head and frantically scolded Lomat: "Lomat, you bastard, why didn't you tell me and Crete? You actually let your father and mother be insulted by these bastards for five thousand gold coins?"

Vick's voice rang out sharply, and a young man with a greasy head and a pink face, who looked like he was no more than seventeen or eighteen, jumped up frantically, and he cursed loudly, "Damn it, who do you say are the mongrels?

Lei twisted his neck violently, and he burst into a loud shout: "Damn it, Lao Tzu said you are all mongrels, ******, is there a debt collector like you? Even if Lomat's father owes you money, do you need to insult such an old man, insult the old man's wife? You heartless things, beat them out for me." ”

Gosia and Groot hesitated, while Karub's eyes lit up, and the hilt of his sword slammed into Vic. A thick ball of energy hit Vic's stomach hard, Vic let out a howl, his whole body was smashed backwards two meters, and he sat heavily on the sofa. Then, his body was bounced up by the soft cushion, and he fell to the ground on his stomach like a toad.

The voice of Elote cried, but it was a fellow no more than twenty years old, who looked like he was dressed in jewels. He screamed, "You, you are so bold, ah, Mentor Karubb, it's you, you are so bold, you dare to beat the people of the Walters family, you, you, you wait and see." ”

Thunderstorm shouted, "Karubb, cut off his hand." ”

Kalubu laughed and raised the long sword in his hand, and more than a dozen young people were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, as if they were facing countless perverted little girls one by one, and they were cowering on the sofa in horror. Karub sneered: "You say, whose hand do you want me to cut off? ”

Lomat, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, finally got up with a blue and purple slap print, he spit out the blood at the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and shouted with a wry smile: "My lord, don't hurt them, they, they are... ”

Ray coldly withdrew his hand from Esther's hand, gently let Esther sit back in the position he had just placed, and said in a deep voice: "Lomat, you are a bastard, Karubb, stop, hurt a few idiot-like boys, you can't add any prestige to us... Lomat, no wonder you haven't reported to me for the past two days, it turns out that this is what happened. Why don't you tell us, will I or General Jerry let these filthy boys insult our soldiers?"

Lomat looked at Ray helplessly, and whispered: "My lord, my lord, although I know that you can help me deal with this matter, but after all, this is my father's debt, I, I really don't have the face to ask others to help me... After all, I am my father's son, and I am unable to pay these debts completely, I ... ”

Ray's eyes glanced fiercely at Lomat, who immediately retracted his words. Ray whispered, "No matter what, you can't let your father be insulted by others." You should not allow your dead mother to be insulted by others ... Lomat, you're a bastard ... What are you for? Crete killed more than 100 brothers for his bullshit honor, and you want to let your bullshit honor kill your own father? Look at what your father has been forced to become. ”

A fifty-year-old man, with the old age of a seventy-year-old, as a small nobleman, has a panic and helplessness on his face that is almost like a beggar, and only looks at Lomat's eyes, but also reveals extreme kindness and love... Ray's heart ached suddenly, and he knelt heavily in front of Esther, muttered to Lomatra and shouted, "Then I too will be your father's son, and I will pay his debts for him, as it should be." ”

Esther and Lomat exclaimed, "Your Excellency, you... ”

After Thunder kowtowed a few times, he jumped up quickly, helped Esther up, looked at Vic and them gloomily, and said viciously: "Okay, just do as you say, this courtyard is yours... Hmph, a very good yard... Remember, five thousand gold coins, we wrote it off... You must remember that I will take back my father's house. ”

Vic looked up in embarrassment and yelled loudly, "Damn it, you, you, you damn thing, who the hell are you?"

Ray snorted Milomi's haughty look, "I, you don't deserve to know my name, your father or grandfather must have seen me, but you, you, you are not qualified to attend the banquets I attend... Remember, I'll get this yard back... Karubb, Godia, Groot, and you, Lomat, come with me, go back... Lomat, take all the people in your house, don't they want this yard? Hum. ”

Ray snorted heavily, and walked out with a helpless Esther.

Gosia and Groot took the lead, and the sword force back a dozen guards who rushed down from the upper floor when they heard the movement, protected Ray and their party, and walked out of the Lomat's house...
