Chapter Ninety-Eight: There Is a Proposal
On the way back, Mantha White did not ride a horse, and Doug Hall took the opportunity to ask with questions.
"It really surprised me, you say...... I've heard a little about the new lord, and it's said that he is the third son of the Liuyun family in Corrant City, and that he is a ....... who can neither practice magic nor use fighting spirit Rubbish. Doug looked at Mansha's reaction and knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly explained: "This ...... That's not what I said, it's just the news that spreads!"
"Hehe, it seems that your Hall family has already done an investigation on the new lord....... However, your information doesn't seem to be accurate. Mansa didn't mean to explain in detail.
"Could it be that the new lord is deliberately hiding his strength.......? It's unbelievable that a nobleman would be willing to endure stigma without taking the initiative to clarify....... "He didn't know what to say."
Mansha didn't want to reveal too much about Yunlang's news, so she smiled in agreement and didn't explain too much. Doug was not surprised by Mansha's reaction, and did not ask any more understandingly.
Then, Doug didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, so he took the initiative to divert the topic: "Mansha, since you are not working for the White family, we are not enemies for the time being, let's talk about some light topics...... We are the same generation, and we knew each other well when we were young, and we can barely be half friends! I remember that many years ago, we were selected by the Royal Academy together, and because of this, we had a big battle, and in the end, only you and Wolf of the Clark family passed the examination and became a member of the Royal Academy. ”
Speaking of the past, Mansha was also a little stunned, so she asked leisurely: "A few years in the Royal Academy are a relatively good time. However, I heard that Wolf guy had a relationship with the daughter of the Earl of Humpback Mountain, and then his whereabouts are unknown, and he has not been heard from so far, I wonder if you know the secret?"
"Worf, that guy....... If you provoke an earl, you may have died a long time ago. Over the years, after I became the head of the family's bodyguard, I also indirectly learned that the Clark family had investigated the matter, but there was no news, and they didn't dare to question an earl too obviously, so the matter had to be closed!" Doug also took the opportunity to tell him what he knew.
Later, Doug asked curiously: "Now that I think about it, the genius boys and girls who were selected to enter the Royal Academy are all people with strange personalities, and Wolf is an amorous man who is willing to give up his good future and even his life for a woman." And you, after returning from the Royal Academy, have not been married for more than ten years, which really makes me ...... Haha, that's too much, I hope you don't mind. ”
Mansha smiled and stopped, indicating that she didn't care about this: "Hehe, it's not that I have a weird personality, it's that if I don't pay attention, more than ten years have passed, and when I come back to my senses, I find that I have become an old woman." I don't want to find an ordinary man to deal with it randomly, and I probably won't be attracted to me if I can see it....... That's it, half of my life is over, and there's no time to go back!"
Doug sighed...... I don't know how to persuade him.
As they spoke, the two of them went out into the woods. As soon as they approached, a small group of warriors jumped out of the shadows nearby, blocking their path.
After the leader of the squad saw that it was Mansha, he hurriedly saluted, and took the initiative to take the mount before retreating to the side.
Doug looked closely and was amazed......
As the two of them walked forward again, Doug immediately asked in a low voice, "Are they all your subordinates?" or are they the subordinates of the new lord?"
"Does that make a difference?...... I've said I've sworn allegiance to the new lord!" Mansha asked rhetorically.
"Mansha, I admit it's not as good as you....... But I've been half my life anyway, and I've gained a lot of knowledge!, you think I can't see the difference?" Doug scolded Mansa for not being interesting enough.
"Ha, then I'll answer you!" Mansha said seriously, "They were originally my subordinates, and now they are working with me to serve the new lord!"
"Ah....... If I'm not mistaken, there are at least three members of that squad who have third-order strength, and the others are at least second-order!" He stared at Mansha's reaction tightly, and said with a difficult receptivity: "Mansha, I admit that you have the ability, even after more than ten years, you are still very attractive....... But even so, it's not enough to make the three third-order powerhouses loyal to you in this way! even if they defect to other nobles, it is enough to be courteous......."
"Hah....... It's a secret, I can't tell you yet, and I don't want to deceive you, so don't ask!" Mansha looked at the bald man who was a little deflated, and comforted: "The new lord, you are definitely qualified to let me and them work for him!"
Doug looked up at the most heavily defended campfire not far away, and couldn't wait to find his target.......
。
After the guards informed her and received permission, Mansha led Doug to Mansha.
After Mansha introduced each other, Yunlang and Doug looked at each other.
In Yun Lang's eyes, Doug is fierce and evil, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, and in terms of intuitive influence, it is really not good; in Doug's eyes, this young lord is thin, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and is a little more beautiful than his daughter.......
In addition, the young lord's battle maid turned out to be a fourth-order berserker, which also surprised him....... You must know that a sage with fourth-order strength will not easily become someone else's battle maid, and this alone is enough to show that this young lord is indeed not simple.
What is certain is that this young lord is by no means a "waste" as rumored........
"Allow me to salute you on behalf of the Hall family!" Doug saluted again, as a sign of respect.
"Hehe, don't be polite!" Yun Lang nodded in response, and said straight to the point: "I asked Mansha to invite you here, there are some things to talk to you...... Before I do it again, I want to make sure that you can clearly convey my meaning to the patriarch of the Hall family?"
Doug hurriedly put aside his distractions and replied truthfully: "My lord, as you can see, I am only the head of the guard of the Hall family, and I cannot directly decide something. If it's just to send a message to the patriarch, I'll definitely be able to do it!"
"That's enough....... Yun Lang tried to put aside his bad impression of Doug, and said as calmly as possible: "I have a proposal, I want to open a safe passage to Corrant City from the direction of the Twilight Forest, specific things....... I think it's better to meet the patriarch of the Hall family, and then talk about it slowly. ”
"What?.......?," Doug was shocked, and looked at Mantha as if asking for help, to make sure he had heard correctly.
Mantha nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more....... She was more concerned about the progress in the military aspect, and she didn't want to think too much about who Yunlang was uniting with, or what purpose it had.
When Doug's gaze turned to Yun Lang again, Yun Lang smiled lightly and said: "After the safe road is opened, all kinds of minerals of the Hall family can go directly to Corrant City, to the north can go straight up the river to the imperial capital, and to the south can be transported to the Green Sea Plain....... I need a reply from the Hall family as soon as possible!"
"Your Excellency....... Can you guarantee that what you're saying is true?" Doug said with a heartbeat, and couldn't help but ask.
"Bold, you are disrespectful to your master!" Vivien's face sank, and a fighting spirit mixed with murderous intent approached Doug's door.
"Ah......." Doug exclaimed, feeling that he couldn't resist it, and hurriedly backed down. After arriving at the safe atmosphere, he hurriedly explained: "No, no, no....... It's too big, I have to make sure it's safe!"
"Hmph....... Mind to speak, stay humble!" Vivien snorted coldly, retracting her vindictive spirit.
