"To be able to jump to a higher position, a temporary humiliating crouch is nothing. ”

After watching Robert Hines leave the old Triss house, Rowett stepped down from the balcony on the second floor and walked to Aldrich's side with a gentle step.

Her hand rested lightly on the forgiving man's shoulder, and Triss looked sideways to see a pale green veil, and the woman quickly crouched down and pressed her forehead against the back of Aldrich's hand.

"My knight, the master of the Hines Chamber of Commerce has been squeezed out by his peers for a while, and it is estimated that a person with a stubborn personality will not survive before he chooses to surrender to you, but the price he paid for his redemption is inevitably a bit foolish. ”

Tris's fingers gently brushed the hair that was pressed on the woman's forehead, and gently wrapped the hair behind the white and red pinna, and raised his head slightly: "I know, Mr. Hines is not desperate and will not easily admit defeat, take this opportunity to use my signature to fool the unsuspected, gasping for breath is still an untamable horse." ”

Aldrich took Lovit's face with both hands, pecked her on the forehead, and looked at each other, the blue spring was filled with a certain longing: "But what if he can regain his momentum? The Tris family is growing stronger and stronger under my command, and the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, and the tricks that Mr. Hines has planned in his heart that cannot be put on the table will not hurt me at all." ”

When the woman heard this, she finally understood that Aldrich was not a good old man who had no guilt in his heart, but Rupert Hines, who had not looked down on Rupert Hines who had climbed to the head of the small chamber of commerce and whose life was at the end of his life, and she looked at Triss affectionately, as if he was pulled into it by the darkness of the night sky.

Aldrich let go of his hands, gently lifted Lovette to her feet, and with a handful of greetings, two servants cautiously walked in with a backrest seat.

"The promise I made to you! Come, sit down, and you'll be Robette Tris!"

The woman covered her mouth with her hands, barely suppressing the exclamation that was undignified and undignified, her eyes instantly blurred with tears of happiness, and the unprecedented joy drowned Robita like a tide.

It wasn't until Aldrich got up and personally led her to her place that tears burst out of her eyes, flushing out two curvy tears of delicate makeup.

"Don't cry, it's time to laugh. Tris, dressed in comfortable casual clothes, took out the handkerchief from the pocket of his coat and gently wiped away the warm tears on Lovette's face.

The pillar of loyal love shook violently, and the source continued to gush out, and for Aldrich, who was now promoted to the Grand Knight of the Eight Virtues, the weight was relatively small, but it still allowed him to progress slowly.

Suddenly determined, Lovette broke free from Tris's gentle embrace, sat up straight and lowered her head to wipe the tears from her face with her sleeve, "Tris, my hero, you are a true knight. ”

Hearing this, Aldrich put down the wet hand towel, "I know what you want to say." There are a lot of rumors about you outside, most of which are slanders from ulterior motives, and emotional catharsis for no reason. Probably using you as some kind of weapon against me, what a stupid bunch of despicable people. ”

He stretched out his right hand and pressed his index finger to Robit's mouth: "I am not an unassailable knight of perfection! I have made a promise to you and have followed it to this day, and you have never turned your back on me, even in the most difficult times, we have walked hand in hand. ”

The woman still looked incredulous: "The rumors about me outside are all rumors! That's right, I did not have a girl's flower crown when I was with you, and I still deeply regret it." ”

Trim changed from sitting on the side of his head to sitting on the side: "Is there a hidden secret? I did feel that it was a very hard battle. ”

"The truth was that four years ago, during the winter hunting, I was so frightened that I lost my precious flower crown during the strenuous exercise due to the frenzied ramming of a frightened horse in the camp. ”

"I know what you're saying is true. "There is no unusual feedback from the letter extended by the pillar of honesty, and Robitt's explanation is completely true.

He slowly got up and walked in front of the woman, and stretched out his hands full of enthusiasm and love to her: "Those who don't know what to call intend to use you as a fulcrum to shake my path of virtue knighthood. It seems that the fault line between the old and new eras is even bigger than I imagined, and they don't know at all that once I become a great knight, even if the source of virtue of a certain department collapses, it will not affect my overall strength, which is also the characteristics that a great knight who has truly entered the transcendent level should have. ”

Got up and took her into her arms, and put her mouth to the woman's ear, which belonged entirely to the world of the two, and the servants immediately exited the room at the opportunity.

"I'm just worried you're going to be affected, so I'm going to take you out of Eastwood. Stay at my manor for the time being, and when the rumors in the city have subsided, I will send someone to take you back. ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

Touched by the man's thoughtfulness and meticulous care, Lovette was incoherent, and she stood on tiptoe to hold Aldrich's shoulder.

In fact, there is another layer of secret, Tris didn't tell his woman, worried that there would be problems with the pillar of love, he used the messenger of the Leng Yama family, brushed up enough goodwill, and deliberately extended the new pillar of the family.

In the upper echelons of Eastwood City, it was rumored that he had entered the Leng Yamamoto family and inherited the title of Eye of Vigilance, all of which were rumors that Aldrich had released in advance, coupled with rumors of elemental cannons, forcing the family to send messengers.

One of the links is designed to be able to smoothly solve the potential hidden dangers of the Great Knight of Virtue, especially after experiencing the battle of the vampire's lair, in order to shock the strongest son of war, Marthas, he deliberately entered the state of order rage, summoned all the virtue equipment, and consumed more sources of faith than he expected.

Later, looking back on the experience before and after this incident, the wonderful scene of the red comet switching the King of War three-piece set at will gave him a lot of inspiration, but the Eight Virtues Great Knight is a little special, and in general, since he has eight times the combat power of ordinary Grand Knights, he also has to pay a corresponding price.

It's just that in Eastwood City, it is difficult for him to continue to expand unrestricted with his status and fame, and there will be more and more industrial participation in his name, and invisible restrictions will come as expected.

Taking the opportunity to return to Triss Manor and try his hand at consolidating the friendship of his former neighbors not only brings considerable benefits, but also increases the sources of faith in justice, honesty, mercy, and honor to varying degrees.

His hand caressed Rovet's hair tenderly, but his deep gaze looked through the transparent glass window, at the smoke-curling peasant households in the distance, through the endless wilderness, and into the far south.

Even without the secret channels of the Yaba masters, as a knight of virtue who has stepped into the transcendent level, Aldrich can still vaguely feel the smell of war, although it is faintly undetectable, but a new force has forcibly risen, like a beast that has broken free from shackles and shackles, showing off its sharp fangs and greedy ambition to show off to the unprepared Middle-earth countries.

"Something has happened that shakes the course of history!" his heart sank inexplicably, and his left hand, which was holding the woman's waist, subconsciously clenched his fist hard, making Rovet frown in pain.

Fortunately, Tris noticed it in time, immediately returned to his normal state of mind, and apologized for his rare gaffe.

As a nobleman with a unique vision who chose Aldrich among the many dinner guests, Lovett ignored the slight pain in her lower back and was concerned about the cause of Tris's gaffe.

After a moment of silence, Aldrich decided not to hide it and told the woman all about his discovery.

Having not heard the slightest rumor beforehand, Lovette would neither be convinced nor completely unconvinced, and until she received the exact news, she only made a slight assessment and speculation about the many principalities of the loose federation in the south.

"Economic crisis!"

Using a word invented by Triss, Lovett reveals the fact that the most stubborn bastion of the old feudal estate economy has been shattered by the wave of industrialized goods, and the internal circulation is already in a crumbling situation.

Aldrich nodded his head in satisfaction, and was very pleased with the woman's studious attitude: "The hard currency reserves of the southern countries, all the gold and silver currencies circulating in the market, with the continuous outflow, are estimated to have long been exhausted to maintain the fragile trading system. In order to solve the problem of life and death, perhaps to export the crisis to the outside world, war became the wisest first choice for the lords of the manor. ”

"Our cities of the Western Earth Customs Union are located in the northwest of the West Continent, and even if the coalition forces of the southern countries attack north, there will be various kingdoms in Middle-earth to stand up, and there is still time!"

Triss quietly pecked on Rovet's mouth in encouragement, and stopped her from talking with this small gesture because of the crowd around her.

The clever woman was silenced by a heart-to-heart understanding, and took her seat, Aldrich reached out and patted it lightly, and the servants and the lords who stayed in the old mansion entered the hall one after another, and greeted the future mistress according to the established rules.

The hectic pace of the city's unique pace has given Tris Manor a new look, especially the scavengers, who have returned to their homes and spread throughout the territory, like a pervasive warm wind that quietly awakens the long-sleeping giants and breathes new vitality and vitality.

Aldrich was not a casual liar, but he was accompanied by four-wheeled wagons loaded with various tools, which he sold at a discount to his neighbors around the territory, and paid for them with the finest freshly cut timber.

The blades made of cold steel are so sharp that even the hard and tough wood of birch, red maple, and boxwood will not last long under the plate saws produced by the iron workshops of the scavengers' union.

Senior accountants and clerks, under the guidance of the clerk of the Agriculture and Forestry Agency, who is proficient in the types of forest trees, classify and register the number of counts, and estimate the approximate total amount of timber.

The experimental steam drying workshop is located around the castle of the old house of Tris, and the outer wall is under construction, and there is no shortage of materials and manpower, and water is diverted from the Lusha River to facilitate the people to fire mud bricks mixed with hay, and the binder is an ash material invented by Aldrich.

When solidified, it was as hard as a rock, but the surface was so smooth that even a sparrow could not stand, and the only drawback was that the smoke was too great to eclipse the bird-like manor of the past, and the clarity of the small bridge and the water became muddy.

"It's all worth it!"

A magnificent castle at the level of a war fortress gradually took shape in two days, and as Aldrich's business grew bigger and bigger, he planned the way back for his future, his family, and his territory, and even promised to provide shelter for all the people, so that all discontent voices were silenced.

According to the drawings provided by the mage Tataring Christine who had sunk on the Lonely Mountain Rift Ridge Peak, the construction of a twin tower that echoed each other began, and except for the redundant stargazing room, this is an incomplete and relatively weakened alchemy tower.

With a group of undead minions, Taling Christine sped up to repair the short-distance portal, and one of the three road markers was placed by Aldridge on the tower of the Terris Manor's mansion, and with the winged boots of the Eight Virtues Grand Knights, he could walk between the twin towers without time jumping.

The only pity is that Trista can't have a tower, and the limitations in this regard are not just technical shortcomings, on the contrary, Christine's memory module is quite well stocked, and the key is that the thin elemental concentration and the source of spellcasting have become an insurmountable moat.

This is also helpless, after all, the times are different now.
