Chapter 647: See Count Orr Again
For the next few hundred meters, the three of them did not say a word.
Howard had made up his mind to report to Silas that his highness had been abducted by a bad breed.
Luna, on the other hand, broke the jar and broke it after her initial weakness, and prepared soldiers to cover the water.
But Barry, who knew that he had a bad record in the royal city, was about to twist his heart, and for a while, he actually suffered some gains and losses.
Until he stepped into the room on the top floor of Nash's inn, Barry followed the two of them with his head bowed like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Barry's appearance surprised Earl Orr, who was sitting in the room and waiting for Howard to have something to say, and then looked at Luna, his big eyes turned, and he smiled in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he politely got up and greeted:
"Your Highness, we meet again. This is Barry, isn't it? Jacqueline's eldest son? Good boy, in his twenties?"
"Uncle Orr, I'm twenty-six years old. ”
Barry rarely owed a debt to Count Orr, which made Orr, who was already guessing in his heart, more and more sure of his guess.
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. Luna gave Barry a funny glance and nodded at Earl Orr, not surprised by his affection.
Although the letter she sent back listed a few junior rookies of the Orr family, after all, it was about deformed steel, and she really never thought that those fledgling juniors would come alone.
"When did Your Highness arrive?" Orr nodded, and asked as she sat down after Luna was seated.
"I just arrived this afternoon, and I heard some news that I was going to go to the Mercenary Guild, didn't I meet Uncle Howard halfway through?" said Luna with a smile.
With Howard and Orr's skills, she didn't think that she would have received the news when she arrived in town, otherwise she and Barry would not have been caught by Howard on a busy street.
You must know that although Berry Town is a small town, its area and the flow of people who come and go this season are inferior to a small city!
"Your Highness has heard about the recruitment of mercenaries?" Orr asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Your idea?" said Luna, looking at Orr.
She still knows Howard very well, the kind of thing of hiring mercenaries as cannon fodder, with Howard's hard temper, it's not that she can't do it, but she doesn't think about it at all, and the only person who can come up with this kind of bad trick is a perennial intelligence person like Earl Orr.
"Yes, it has become more and more difficult to escort in the past two years, and His Royal Highness also knows that the young knights trained by the royal court over the years do not know how much they have sacrificed, and I am also ......" Orr feigned embarrassment, but his eyes were staring at Luna.
Luna nodded noncommittally, the young knights trained by the royal court were all from noble backgrounds, and every death was indeed troublesome, but they refused to let go and allow civilians to participate in the knight assessment.
Of course, this is also due to the limited education of the commoners, and although the knights are not entitled, they also have certain privileges.
Although a person from a noble background is not necessarily a good person, at least for the invasion of other people's property, most young people from noble backgrounds also need to take into account the face of the family, grasp a certain measure, and eat not too ugly, and it is difficult to say that the commoner was born once he was powerful.
It's just that the base of nobles is still too small, which also makes the young knights precious.
Luna knows that some change is inevitable over time, and that change requires opportunity and people willing to sacrifice for it.
Orr looked at Luna for a moment, barely seeing the approval he wanted to see, nor the emotion of opposition, but for a moment he was a little sideways at Luna, and then thinking of the candidate that Silas had arranged for Luna to be the envoy, he couldn't help but think about another thought.
However, Howard's thoughts are more straightforward, and he doesn't care about Orr's twists and turns, he only knows that the little guys he has cultivated under his hands are all his soldiers, and he can use a way to prevent those young people from being damaged.
Of course, he also believed that Luna would not watch the knights loyal to the royal family be compromised for nothing.
"Uncle Howard, how many people did you bring this time?" asked Luna after a moment of silence.
"Two hundred. Howard looked at Luna and replied.
Although the other party's answer was flat, Luna's pupils shrank, as far as she knew, when she was four or five years old, the people who escorted the deformed steel every year, the royal court only came out of fifty, and since that year, the deformed steel began to be frequently looted, this number began to increase little by little.
And today, it has increased to two hundred, and Orr even went to the mercenary union to issue a mission, which can already be seen the seriousness of the matter.
"Alpha, at this distance, you might be able to detect the vines in the City of Scholars?" Luna asked, steady.
"The master's spiritual power is limited, and I can only find out if you enter the City of Scholars. Alpha replied.
Spiritual power, and spiritual power......
Luna raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, halfway she tried the nightmare of that kind of nightmare promotion, and repeatedly did the nightmare of the car accident for seven or eight days, almost didn't toss her into a nervous breakdown, and then she didn't have to open her mouth, Alpha didn't dare to continue, and it was delayed until today, and she didn't mention this stubble again.
"If yes, I said let Uncle Howard take someone back directly, we don't need this year's deformed steel, what do you two think?"
Luna sat up straight and looked solemnly at Count Orr and Howard with a hint of pleading.
Howard instinctively frowned when he heard this, and without opening his mouth, Luna already knew that he would not give up this year's share of deformed steel.
But Orr groaned for a moment, his eyes shining, and asked tentatively:
"Did Your Highness find out any news during this time outside?"
"I've heard some news, but I'm not sure yet, I'll need to go to the City of Scholars in person. Luna said after a moment's thought.
"At this point in time, it is not the best choice for His Highness to go to the City of Scholars. Orr shook his head.
"Hmm, is there something I don't know?" Luna looked at Count Orr with some confusion, she knew that the relationship between the City of Scholars and the royal family had always been a little delicate, but she didn't quite understand why Orr said that.
Orr Wenyan and Howard glanced at each other, and when they saw Howard nodding, they said:
"That's right, since your bookstore opened, the City of Scholars has sent an invitation to the royal family to study in the City of Scholars. ”
"How did I not know?" Luna was a little confused, she hadn't heard anything about it!
However, the city of those who enrolled her?
Luna narrowed her eyes, thinking of what Silas had told her about the agreement between the royal family and the City of Scholars, and the entanglement between the royal family of the Central Empire and the City of Scholars over there, she sneered in her heart, but she had some guesses.
Orr knew the image status of the City of Scholars in the eyes of the public, and when he saw Luna asking, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose and said a little sneeringly: "At that time, you were still young, and the king was afraid that you would be curious for a while, so this is ...... Moreover, Mr. Gotte was also against it. ”
