Section 173: Ladder over the wall

Norman and the others waited outside for a long time before Herbert came out of the castle.

He first arranged accommodation with a few of his retinue, and then, after glancing around, he walked towards the Normans.

In this waiting time, Norman and they have gathered more noble children here, and all the eldest young masters and eldest ladies are here, looking very conspicuous.

When Herbert approached, Armstrong asked in a loud voice, "My lord, shall we go into the castle and rest?" ”

Herbert smiled apologetically and said, "Everyone, I know that everyone is tired now, and I have asked people to arrange it, and they will be able to rest immediately." Later, please go to your own room to rest according to the arrangement......"

"Wait!"

Before Herbert could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Joseph.

This young master, who was very fierce just now, was really not false at all in the face of Herbert at this moment, and he didn't just scream, he said very directly: "Are you letting us live outside?

There were also several noble children with strong family backgrounds around who chimed in, "That's right, we're going to live in the castle!" "Are you going to let us live outside and live in the castle by ourselves?" "Please, Herbert, we all know that the Grand Duke's castle is big enough for us people." "They're gossiping, they're all disturbing.

At first glance, living in a castle and living in a small town outside the castle are just different locations, and there is no difference in the rest, but in fact there is a big difference.

The castle in the Tico hunting ground has always been for the noble lords who come to hunt to live, and the grand duke himself will live here, so the castle is very well arranged, and all aspects are in accordance with the living standards of the nobles, and the housing in the town is for the knights, accompanying soldiers and logistics personnel, and the conditions are naturally far from comparable to those in the castle, which is no wonder that these noble young masters and young ladies will be so excited after hearing that Herbert plans to let them live outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet!"

Herbert waved his hand and shouted several times before finally closing the mouths of the fellows.

Everyone looked at Herbert with their hands on their chests to see what else he had to say.

After Herbert's eyes wandered around the people on the scene, he finally announced to them the true purpose of this trip: "Actually, we are not here to hunt in the autumn this time, but to welcome the church envoys to Nicaro, for the sake of secrecy, I have not told you before. ”

This sudden news made the nobles present stunned.

said okay autumn hunting, why did it suddenly become a pick-up?

Herbert ignored them, and continued: "And this legation here now is the same legation of the Holy Maiden that everyone knows, and now the Holy Maiden lives in that castle, so I will ask everyone to live in the town. ”

The Holy Maiden lives in the castle now?

Needless to say, Herb is special, this piece of information alone is enough.

The aristocratic young masters and young ladies who were still shouting for Herbert to give them an explanation before were all shut up at the moment, and no one said a word of nonsense.

She was a saint, one of the most prominent people in the kingdom, and her status was more noble than that of Grand Duke Roberts.

Now that the Holy Maiden is living in that castle, how can they live in it again? That is a great disrespect to the Holy Maiden!

Living outside is as it should be, as it should be.

Then Herbert also made a announcement: "Although the most important task of the mission is to reach Nicaro as soon as possible, I feel that the members of the mission have worked the road, so I propose to arrange a feast for the mission tomorrow morning, and then set off after rewarding the members of the mission, and Priest Hardy who accompanied the mission agreed." So I hope you will be able to attend this feast tomorrow in good spirits, after all, when the time comes, we represent all the nobles of the whole of Nicaro, and I hope we can make a good impression on the saints. ”

As soon as Herbert's words came out, the nobles present boiled.

"Why didn't you just say it now? Can't you have told me sooner?"

"Damn, I knew I was going to take that dress out, look what I'm wearing!"

"Take me to bed!"

"I've seen the Holy Maiden, but I've never seen that legendary envoy before, and I've been hearing about his prestige lately, and now I can finally see it!"

......

Everyone was in a mess, talking their own words, and the crowd was excited, but no one took the plunge and agreed with Herbert's decision to let them live in a small town outside.

Herbert watched all this with satisfaction, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be one person missing from the scene, so he grabbed Armstrong and asked, "Where's Alan?"

Armstrong was so immersed in the excitement that he was about to meet the Holy Maiden, and without looking at Herbert, he casually said, "Go to the toilet." ”

And as soon as he finished speaking, Herbert saw the man he was looking for coming slowly from some corner of the crowd.

Norman slowly walked into the crowd with a constipated expression of forbearance and pain in his arms, and before he could get closer, Herbert, who saw that he was not in the right condition, had already greeted him, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Alan?"

Norman shook his head with a tangled expression and said in a weak voice, "Not very good. It may be that the two days of running around have been too hard, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and I haven't paid attention to keeping warm, so I'm very uncomfortable now, I should have a cold, I feel as if my body is burning, and I have no strength at all. As he spoke, a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face became more and more pale.

Wasn't it okay before?

Herbert thought it was a little strange, but Norman's current terrible state was obviously not a fake, and had to be attributed to the rapid onset of the disease.

"It's really unfortunate,"

After Herbert expressed his condolences, he pondered for a while, and said, "The envoys of the Holy Maiden are here, and tomorrow morning we will have a morning feast, and I originally planned to let you dine at the same table with me and the Holy Maiden, will you be able to hold on then?"

I'm going, is this thing really going to do this? It's really unscrupulous to win yourself over, and this kind of treatment is given to you!

Fortunately, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and I have been prepared for this, otherwise I will not show my stuffing tomorrow?

Norman secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he still looked weak, and said in a lamented voice: "Thank you very much, Lord Earl, I also want to attend, but with my current physical state, I think it may be difficult for me to even get up tomorrow." ”

"Not only did I have a cold, but I also had diarrhea, and my legs were so weak that I thought I might need to stay here a few more days before I could go back to Nicaro with you. ”

This is what Norman really intended, and this is also the purpose of him running to the toilet and stripping naked, wrapping himself up and down with the Snello snowball group for a long time, and making himself cold, that is, he didn't want to meet the envoys, he didn't want to be recognized, and he didn't want to act with them.

The last experience really scared him of this envoy group.

And Herbert, after muttering for a while, looked at Norman's poor pale appearance, and finally could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll let the accompanying doctor come and see you later, I hope to make you feel better." ”
