Chapter 35: Sincerity
The Spencer family house in Polipoli, due to the arrival of the Queen of the Night, the Spencer family held a small banquet, which could be attended by the rangers and the common people of Polipoli. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The banquets here are nowhere near as lavish as those held by the Midtown Federation, but the Spencer family still uses some cheap ingredients to make a sumptuous meal, and the wine provided by the Spencer family is still good, which is the wine treasured by the Spencer family.
The residents and rangers of Polipoli took this opportunity to enjoy a rare feast of pleasure, and everyone was very excited, Polipoli Town had not been so lively for a long time.
"It's a pity that the situation in Polipoli Town has not been very good in recent years, the situation in the Black Snake Sea has become worse and worse, the seafood industry has completely stagnated, and the past business travel has been decreasing year by year, but the harvest of the fields is still stable, at least people don't have to go hungry. ”
Spencer Rubio briefed Carmen Alicia and Maester Tully on the situation in the town of Polipoli.
"I've read the reports of Polipoli in the past few years, the free city-states in the northeast are often at war, and the southern coastline is too dangerous, but the Spencers have done a good job, and your food income seems to be pretty good. ”
Tully said as he sipped his wine. The wine provided by the Spencer family is indeed very good, and Tully is a good and knowledgeable person, and even he praises it, so it must not be wrong.
"That's my mother's credit. Rubio stood up, politely pointed to his mother, Spencer Maria, and bowed slightly.
Mary also stood up and bowed slightly to Alicia and Tully.
Maria is about fifty years old, with an elegant face and an outstanding temperament, she is a charming woman, in her youth, she was also a woman in the free frontier, there are countless men who have pursued her, and even the high-ranking nobles of Midtown Federation, Hellas Bay and other places have come to pursue this beautiful and talented woman, but Maria has only one person in her life, that is, her future husband, Spencer Lore.
"Rubio has spoken too much of me, and I have only taken the people of Polipoli with me to actively develop agriculture and animal husbandry. Maria said softly, with a faint smile on her face, which made people unconsciously double their affection for her.
"Aunt Maria is always hands-on, and the people of Polipoli love her, and I've always loved her since I was a child. ”
Alicia smiled slightly, Maria has always been very good to her, for Alicia, who has lost her parents since she was a child, Maria is like her mother.
"I'm glad that little Ellie has grown into a true queen before she knows it, but it seems a little sad that you didn't inform us when you went to Polipoli this time. ”
Maria smiled, but said to Alicia in a slightly reproachful tone, Alicia scratched her head in embarrassment, indeed, Alicia didn't intend to alarm the Spencer family in the first place, so she felt that it was indeed rude.
"Maria, I can't blame little Ellie, after all, when I started this trip, I told my companions to keep a low profile, and try not to let others find out the purpose of our trip. Tully bowed slightly in apologies.
"But Maester Tully seems to want to meet the Spencers, doesn't he?"
Maria smiled slightly, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Tully's eyes, Tully secretly admired Maria, and he deeply felt that Maria was not simple.
"I've always had the heart to make friends with the Spencer family, and I hope Madame won't be surprised. Tully didn't dare to make up any reason, but apologized directly.
"Maester Tully, rest assured, we Spencer family have done everything we can for the Free Frontier since ancient times, and little Ellie belongs to the older generation of us Spencer family who grew up, so if there is a need for us, we will definitely live up to the trust. ”
At this time, Rubio's uncle, Spencer Monte, also made a statement.
Spencer Monte is Spencer Lore's younger brother, he has always been Lore's right-hand man, becoming a paladin at a young age, and as he grew older, becoming the guardian of the Free Frontier.
Monte followed his brother to join the Frontier Rangers formed by Sturit Batista and gave everything he could to the stability of the Free Frontier.
After the death of Lore, someone in the Spencer family once proposed to make the prestigious Monte the patriarch of the family, but Monte decisively refused, and he faithfully supported his brother's eldest son, that is, Spencer Rubio, to become the patriarch of the Spencer family, which also made Monte gain more praise.
Tully also nodded slightly at Monte, the Spencer family is really not simple, the two elders of the family can see Tully's intentions at once, which also makes Tully even more convinced that he can achieve unimaginable success in the Free Frontier, because there is the most loyal group of people here, and this group of people is also the real hope of the Free Frontier.
"We in the Spencer family are also the rangers of the Frontier Rangers, and we will give everything we have for the Queen of the Night, Lord Carmen Alicia, and for the freedom of the Borderlands. ”
Rubio also said solemnly to Tully, this is what the Spencer family has been working on.
Tully smiled slightly, he secretly scolded himself for these amazing people, and disagreed, it seems that he has lived in the Midtown Federation for too long, and has forgotten the most important thing between people, which is sincerity.
Treat others sincerely, and the affirmation you get is also sincere to yourself. Sincere...... It's easy to say, but it's not easy, Tully has been living with a mask for more than thirty years, but in the Free Frontiers, he definitely has to try to have the most sincere heart.
At this time, Miria, Joseph, Philip and Jordan were chatting, and on the other side of the banquet, Terry and Veronica were pestering Spencer Jessica, the two of them were courteous to Jessica, Jessica smiled wryly, although she had long been accustomed to many suitors, but in the face of such two idiot suitors, it was rare.
"You're the prettiest woman I've ever met!really, I've traveled all over the continent alone since I was a kid, and I've seen many, many women, but none are more charming than you!" said Terry, gesturing without stopping.
"Hehe, you're exaggerating too much. ”
Jessica smiled, in fact, Terry is not offensive, although he acts like an idiot, but his eyes are full of sincerity, but Terry's height is really too short, like a child, which does not match the tall Jessica.
"Yes, yes, you're exaggerating! You've traveled to the continent of Yarrow alone, that's too much!" Veronica didn't believe Terry.
Veronica's impression of Jessica is a rather dull and wooden image, Veronica is a priest of the goddess of light like Jessica's mother, which still makes Jessica feel a little kind, because the priests of the goddess of light have a very gentle personality.
"Really! I've been to many places, even the northernmost snowy Far North!" Terry retorted dissatisfiedly, hating the distrust of others.
"The Arctic Snowy Regions? Really, I've only read about the Arctic Snowy Regions in books!"
As soon as Jessica heard about the Far North Snow Region, she came to her senses, and for those who lived in the southernmost part of the Arrow Continent, the Far North Snow Region was like the other side of the world.
"Really! I was only a teenager, eleven or twelve? Like......" Terry dragged his chin as if he was thinking about something.
"Poof!" Veronica couldn't help but laugh, "You went to the Snowy Arctic when you were eleven or twelve?" Terry, Terry, don't brag in front of Jessica, okay!"
"I'm not bragging!I, Terry, never say big things!" Terry was a little upset, and Veronica scratched her head, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, why did you go to the Far North at the age of eleven or twelve? ”
Jessica barely comforted her, and then hurriedly asked, she really had a strong interest in the snowy regions of the Far North.
"At that time, I was eating with a mercenary group, and we received a commission to escort a caravan to the Ice Alliance in the snowy regions of the Far North, and I remember that we were going to a place called Oren. Terry dragged his chin and remembered.
"Oh, I know, I know, that's the capital of the Ice Alliance, the largest nation in the Far North. Jessica looked excited.
"Well, I remember when we arrived in Oron, just in time for the new Ice Lord of the Ice Alliance to take office, and I remember that the man seemed to be called Torrell, and he was quite a great man. Terry continued to remember.
"What is the Ice Lord?" Veronica looked confused.
"That's the title of the ruler of the Ice Alliance, isn't it, Terry?" Jessica looked at Terry expectantly.
"yes, Jessica was right. Terry smiled at Jessica and nodded, Jessica looked happy, her book was really not in vain.
"The leader of our mercenary group is called Montgomery, and he is a very remarkable man, and he befriended a snowy dwarf in Oren, and I remember that the dwarf was called ...... It's called Snowhammer Spanor!" Terry tried to remember, finally saying the dwarf's name with certainty.
"What do snowy dwarves look like?" asked Jessica and Veronica together, both of them with curious expressions on their faces.
"Ah...... Nothing special, similar to the High Rock Dwarves. Terry wasn't quite sure, and Jessica and Veronica looked disappointed.
"Then that Snowhammer Spanor invited us to the city of the Snowy Dwarves, which is called House, a large city in the Ice Alliance, and that Snowhammer Spanor is the ruler of House. Terry himself was very excited at this point, and it was clear that he had benefited a lot from House's trip.
"Ah...... Dwarven City ...... I've never had a chance to see a dwarven city, and I've only read about dwarven civilization in books. Jessica looked at Terry with envy, and then said with a slight grievance.
"No...... Don't do that...... Otherwise...... Otherwise, if I have the chance, I'll take you to the snowy regions of the Far North, and I'll take you to see the amazing House!" Terry suddenly suggested, which made Jessica laugh, and she nodded excitedly and said yes.
"Will you take me there too...... I'd like to see the dwarven city too......" Veronica looked pitiful, looking at Terry with unease and expectation.
"Haha! Of course, we'll all go with me, Jessica, you, Joseph, Tyrrell, Jake, Miria, little Ellie, Maester Tully, and so on!"
Terry smiled happily, as if he meant to move the entire Free Frontier to the snowy Far North, and Terry's appearance infected Jessica and Veronica, and they both laughed.
"Did you get anything out of going to House?" asked Jessica expectantly as if she had followed Terry's story to House.
"Of course there is a reward! And the harvest is not small!" Terry became even more excited when he said this.
"Don't sell it!" Veronica asked anxiously.
"I met a good friend there! His name is Silveraxe St. Louis, and he is the patriarch of the Silveraxe family, one of the four dwarven families of House!"
Terry said with a smug face, remembering Silver Axe St. Louis, Terry was happy, it was really an interesting dwarf.
"Wow...... That's good......" Jessica stared at Terry with wide eyes and even more envy.
"Well, I've built a strong friendship with many of the Silveraxe family, and at parting, St. Louiste gave me a dagger made of Mithril, called "Winter's Heart", which is the blacksmith of the Silveraxe family, and the best blacksmith in the snowy Far North, Rumeni. ”
When Terry said this, he took out his dagger and showed it to Jessica and Veronica, this is indeed a dagger with exquisite workmanship, and it is indeed a Mithril product, Mithril is a very precious ore, in the continent of Yarrow, only some nobles or famous warriors will have Mithril tools, and the handle of Terry's dagger is engraved with a sharp axe-shaped logo, which is the logo of the silver axe family.
Jessica and Veronica looked at the dagger, excited and envious, and they asked about the situation in the snowy regions of the Far North, about House, and even more about the situation of the Silver Axe family, while Terry continued to tell them with a smile, telling those precious memories.
