Chapter Eighty-Five, Marquis of Wiskez
Of course, the panda didn't really come over with a meal, but the time was not far from lunch.
So Pratt, after being busy for a while, took him out of the workshop and headed for the Old Town.
The Old Town of Trella, also known as the "Upper Town", was the residence of the great aristocracy. Its inhabitants were either earls or higher nobles with large fiefdoms, or court nobles with a long history and the trust of the royal family.
The so-called "court nobles" are actually "royal nobles" - Eric and others in the traverser, and the race is "royal nobles".
This race is not strictly a human subspecies, but a special race formed by a long period of special ecology and education. They have a good education, but because they have studied clerical work since childhood, they are relatively weak. In particular, many of them have been trained in anti-poisoning since childhood and have excellent resistance to toxins.
Pret's father-in-law, the Marquis of Wiskez, whose real name was Alexander Wiskez, was a slight military talent among the nobles of the royal capital. His ancestors were only court counts, and in his youth, he had been a marquis of the newly succeeded King when facing the Assassins. But although the title has been raised, there is still no fief, only a significant increase in the annual salary.
Stress Mountain was wounded in that battle, which affected fertility. It wasn't until many years later, when he reached middle age, that he regained his fertility with the help of elven drugs, got married, and gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately, his wife died shortly after giving birth to her daughter, and since then he has been clean and has never provoked or contaminated a single woman.
Now over 50 years old, he is also the commander of the Terella Royal Capital Hoplite Legion and the Heavy Cavalry Legion, which can be described as the mainstay of the royal capital aristocracy. However, unlike the average royal noble, his personality is quite close to the people, and he has a good relationship with soldiers and civilians, and can also be described as "mingling with the masses" - so he is a little self-respecting in the eyes of many old-fashioned nobles, loses his identity, and his interpersonal relationships are not very good.
When Panda and Pratt arrived at the Marquis of Weske's mansion, he hadn't returned home yet.
"The master is a very hardworking man. Some balding housekeepers said with a touched face, "He is always working overtime, and he has been like this for decades." Some say he's the hardest working guy in the whole of Terella!"
Panda nodded - there are not many people in the aristocracy who are so diligent, most of the nobles, their diligence is probably "I insist on going to work every day, sometimes I get busy, and even work overtime until two o'clock in the afternoon, there are very few hard-working nobles like me".
The housekeepers and servants were very welcoming to Pratt's visit. Judging by their attitude towards Pratt, it is clear that they have already regarded him as their future master. From this, it can be judged that this marriage is very stable, as long as you don't look for poisonous milk to do your work, and don't say stupid things like "how to lose the flying dragon riding face", you shouldn't have to worry.
"Where's Jenny?" asked Pratt, "why didn't you see her today?"
Jenny was the name of Miss Marquis Wiske, and when she heard Pruett's inquiry, the butler smiled and said, "Miss has recently learned a very special dish and is busy in the kitchen." ”
Prett nodded, smiled and said to the panda, "You're so blessed! ”
Panda also smiled: "Then I'm looking forward to it." ”
"Don't worry, although it's not as good as Sanyu, it's definitely beyond the level of ordinary people. ”
"When I hear what you say, I'm looking forward to it even more. ”
After a while, the Marquis of Wesx returned.
This royal nobleman, who has gone from middle age to old age, wears heavy full-body armor, and looks very stable and reliable at first glance. After returning home, he did not rush to take off his armor, but greeted Pratt and the panda first.
"Welcome to Pruit, sorry to keep you waiting for me again today. He turned to look at the panda, "What should you call this friend?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Marquis of Wiske. My name is Panda and I am a wandering warrior. Panda didn't wait for Pratt to speak, he introduced himself first, "I have been friends with him for more than ten years, and I heard that he is about to get married, and I thought that it would always be good to have one more helper, so I came over - I hope this will not affect your wedding plans." ”
The Marquis of Wiskes had already taken off his helmet, revealing his red beard and red eyes, and he looked like a Celtic man. He had a short, well-trimmed beard that didn't look rough and brutal—if you had to find a suitable image for him, Panda thought King Arthur might be a good fit.
He wasn't talking about King Arthur, as some people in the guild often referred to as "Saber my wife", but the legendary Celtic King Arthur. Celtic red beard, eyes full of confidence and courage, a well-manicured beard that has no sense of savagery at all, and a heavy, well-fitting armor...... All this makes this marquis full of convincing temperament, and I believe that even if King Arthur really came out of Celtic legend, it would not be very different from him.
And the Marquis of Wiskes is obviously well-informed, as soon as he heard the panda introduce himself like this, and then saw his personal characteristics of white hair and black circles panda face, he immediately guessed his identity, raised his eyebrows shaped like a blade, and showed just the right smile: "Let me guess...... The bear man, whose name is Panda, still has this appearance...... Are you the famous 'Dragon Slayer' Mr. Panda?"
"Don't you dare to call yourself 'sir' in front of you, I am like a brother to Pratt, you are his elder, that is, my elder, just call me Panda. ”
The Marquis of Wiskez smiled, this time the smile was more cordial than before: "I used to worry that Pratt was withdrawn and would not make friends, and that he might suffer in the future. Now it seems that my worries were unfounded. His own strength is not bad, and with the help of your good brother, he will only make others suffer in the future, and it will not be the turn of others to make him suffer. ”
He smiled and patted Pratt on the shoulder: "In this way, I am relieved!"
"Don't look old!" said Pratt, laughing, "and the whole city of Terrera knows that you are the hardest working of all the nobles." If you're old, won't the other nobles have to prepare for the future?"
"Haha, who told them not to work harder!"
As she spoke, the maids had already taken off their armor for the three of them and changed into civilian clothes.
And when they get to the dinner table, Panda finally meets Pratt's fiancée, Jenny Wiskez.
