Chapter 108: Gradually Calming Down
The Marquise was very pleased with this answer, nodded her head, and said with a smile:
"In that case, the Omok family will not treat you badly, Suke, you can take them down and settle down. ”
A servant came over there and led them down, and when the girl saw that Hui was about to be led down, she was very anxious, and said to the Marquise:
"I'm going to be with Brother Huigang. ”
The monk felt that the Marquise was indeed sincere and good to the girl, and he didn't want to argue about anything in his heart, so he went down, and gave Fei'er an encouraging look before leaving, and when he walked out of the room, he heard the Marquise say to Fei'er:
"Fei'er, as nobles, we have to keep our distance from these inferior people, our gratitude is actually a gift to them, you have to grasp this scale......"
It's just that although the marquise treats Fei'er with true affection, she treats monks and swordswomen a little coldly, in her eyes, these are just guards and servants who come with girls, although they are loyal along the way, but they are just the obligations of the servants, and they make promises, give some money or official positions.
Although there is no ornate building, but the marquis's mansion is quite large, under the leadership of the servants, the monks and female swordsmen were arranged to a relatively remote place, which is an independent house in the mansion, and the servants who led them also said with envy:
"That is, you are guests from afar, and you have merit, so you can be so comfortable, and those like us can only be huddled together. ”
After saying a few sighs and some precautions, he turned around and left.
The swordswoman Alina's face had long since sunk, and when she saw the servant leave, she complained with hatred:
"We're being sent away as subordinates now, it's too much, how much you have suffered for Fei'er, you almost gave away your life several times, but how could they do this to me. ”
The monk who said this was in a trance for a while, but he inexplicably remembered that after he came out, he always believed others, which dragged Fei'er a lot, and he really couldn't say who owed more to whom, but those things in the past could not appear again.
In the evening, when the Marquis of Omok and Simon returned, they were embarrassed to see Phil. Although the Marquis of Omok is nearly fifty years old, he can also see some similarities with Antti between his eyebrows and eyes, he has always been a handsome person when he was young, Simon's title is a baron, and with the marquis serving in the Praetorian Guard, he looks very handsome.
But the family is extremely kind to Fei'er, shouting at the banquet, they are also very measured to avoid talking about the girl's mother, after Fei'er left Gravel Town, except for Huigang and an occasional limited number of people are a little kind to him, most of the others are deceitful and have experienced a lot of bloody storms.
But in the home of the Marquis of Omok, I felt the kindness and affection of the family, and these were sincere, which made Fei'er feel very warm and touched.
On a big poplar tree outside the window of the dining room, Hui Gang sat lightly on the branches, with the wind blowing, the branches were trembling up and down, and the monk swayed with the branches as if he had no weight, quietly watching the conversation and laughter in the room, he didn't dare to do anything careless at this time, and decided to take care of it closely.
The officers and leaders of the Janissaries of the Drew Empire generally did not return home easily, and the Marquis of Omok and his son returned to the camp after a brief gathering last night.
Therefore, only the Marquise was left in the Marquis's mansion to preside over the affairs, and the Marquise was extremely attentive to Fei'er's daily life, perhaps because her children and husband were not around. So she poured a lot of money into Fei'er, and the Marquise hired a etiquette teacher and a tutor in charge of teaching only to the girl, and naturally equipped a special servant.
The girl is really busy, occasionally when she comes to the back to see Huigang, often just a few words, she is urged to leave by the personal maid who accompanies her, looking at Fei'er reluctantly leaving, Huigang always has some bad feelings in his heart, but he really understands at this time that everything the Marquis's family has done at this time is indeed good for the girl's future, and it is impossible to ask this fact Her Royal Highness the princess to accompany him for a lifetime.
But the monk didn't dare to be careless, he always paid attention to Fei'er out of everyone's sight, and he didn't dare to relax, and the female swordsman Alina also sank her temperament and practiced her martial arts in that courtyard with peace of mind.
Naturally, they are the heroes who protect Fei'er and come here, and Huigang and Alina have no one to let them do anything, and they are very idle every day. After a long time, the monk learned something about the situation in Omok's family.
Originally, except for the royal family, which had to lead troops in order to control the army, few nobles were willing to serve in the tired army, one was to suffer, and the other was to avoid suspicion. However, the Marquis of Omok's family was scarce, and because his situation was not very good when he was young, he could only serve in the army.
Because of the accumulation of military merits, coupled with the funding of his cousin Anti, he was promoted quickly in the army, and because he did not have any power background, he was trusted by the emperor, so he became only a confidant of Emperor Drew to serve as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the commander of the legion was named by the emperor's younger brother, and the Marquis of Omok was actually the real commander of the Praetorian Guard.
With such a background, the home is naturally heavily guarded. Because the marquise is very low-key, there are not many servants and maids, but there are a lot of guards and guards, mainly elite soldiers in the Praetorian Guard Corps who are full-time guards.
It is worth noting that there are only three people, two of whom have been walking around in front all day, all of them are silent, with a killing aura that comes out of the mountain of corpses and blood, and the officers in charge of the guards in the family all salute when they see them.
The other was a dwarf, nominally a gardener in the marquis's house, and every day he always packed up his weapons, a large knife that was three times the height of a dwarf, extremely heavy, and the blade was indeed unusually sharp, and this dwarf was very kind, and often drank and joked with some servants and soldiers. Although he was kind, the unusual weapon and the cold light in the dwarf's eyes from time to time made the monk feel very unusual.
And Hui Gang also noticed that even when the marquis came back, he was polite to these people, and as for the young Viscount Simon, he followed the dwarf every day, and called him a teacher. With Huigang's martial arts personality, he naturally paid attention to these people, but these soldiers and high-level warriors were quite wary of him.
But after a long time, he became familiar with those servants, especially the servant who led him to settle down at that time, and his name was interesting, and he had the same surname as the hunter in Gravel Town, also called Daro, and he was also a young man with infinite vitality, and he always came to the courtyard to approach Alina every day for one reason or another, although the female swordsman hated Daro, but there was nothing hateful about this young man.
On that day, the girl Fei'er was practicing the harp under the supervision of the tutor, and Huigang's spiritual sense locked on the girl, while talking to Daro, the monk asked him seemingly unintentionally:
"I think it's very unusual for a few people to be here, and I don't know where they come from. ”
The female swordsman was also very interested in this question, and discussed it with Hui Gang, and when she saw the monk asking this question, she also came over, and when Daro saw Alina coming, she immediately became interested and began to say:
"Mr. Fleett, do you know that the Marquis's status today is due to the merits he made when he fought against the barbarians in the desert, and now the soldiers guarding the Marquis's Mansion are the most elite soldiers at that time, which can be regarded as a disguised reward for them. ”
Seeing that Huigang and Alina were listening attentively, he was also very proud:
"There are two of the most outstanding people in it, basically no one calls them by name, they all call them 'left wing' and 'right wing', the two of them were originally the two officers of the Dragon Wing Legion under the command of the marquis, and they are the two people with the most outstanding martial arts, followed the lord to the imperial capital, and now they are also settled in, usually the eyes are very proud, except for the marquis and the viscount young master, no one can listen to them. ”
But that's all he knew, or Alina couldn't help asking:
"Who's that dwarven gardener in the backyard?"
Speaking of this, the omniscient Darrow was in trouble, and pondered for a long time before saying:
"That dwarf's name is Iron Mine, and he was a captive brought back from the desert by the Marquis, and I don't know why he later became a gardener in the mansion, but it is said that many of the viscount's swordsmanship was taught by him?"
After this conversation, Hui Gang was very surprised, thinking that such a small place is also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, but every day he sees Fei'er working hard between various courses, but the marquis's family takes great care of the girl, which makes the monk more and more at ease.
After another month, the female swordsman Alina said that she would go back and take out the sword of holy blood, and after a little preparation, she left, and before leaving, Alina said that she had already liked the tranquility here, and she would definitely come back after getting the sword of holy blood.
After the female swordsman left, Huigang's life became more and more peaceful. There was no one in the marquis's palace to bother him except for his food and drink. This is also a rare peace for monks
As time passed, Fei'er's various courses became more and more, and the number of visits to the monk in the courtyard became less and less, and Hui Gang calculated that it would probably take a few months for the female swordsman to return here, and since the girl's situation was stable, she should also leave.
