Chapter 116: The Familiar Noble Boy
PS: Real shelves, the fourth update!
Matthew Lannister, the illegitimate son of the current Archduke of Lannister, is the only surviving son. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Lannister family can be regarded as the premier nobles of the Soros Kingdom, and its influence and strength almost cross the kingdom and radiate to the surrounding city-states.
The current patriarch of the family once made a bold statement: As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem!
Of course, in addition to being rich, this family also has a major feature, that is, the scarcity of descendants.
Although the side lines are luxuriant, the line of the Lannister Archduke is basically a son, no matter how hard they try, but there is only one heir, and it is just one generation, but it is like this for more than ten generations, which is a bit weird.
This world is not the earth, although there are all kinds of magical means, but there are also many dangers, wars are frequent, and the mortality rate is naturally extremely high. As far as the population is concerned, there is no such thing as less birth and better fertility on the earth, basically they can be born, and it is normal for a family to have more than a dozen brothers.
The same is true for the aristocracy, considering the issue of family inheritance, most of them will not have only one child, after all, if the heir dies, they will face the severance of the family inheritance or the loss of inheritance.
In this way, the Lannisters are also considered outliers among the nobility. It is said that the Lannisters offended a certain wizard and were cursed.
This generation of Lannister Archduke has only one son-in-law, who has become an adult, and it was in this war that he went out for his father, originally wanting to mix up some qualifications, but outside Changhu Town, a town outside Soros of the 'Black Armor Army' he led, I don't know what happened, fell into the trap of the Lancômes, and the whole army was wiped out, and there was not even a single prisoner.
That is, some time ago, several side branches of the Lannister family jointly put pressure on their stepchildren to inherit the main lineage, but this Lannister Grand Duke is also clever, and he didn't know where to turn out his illegitimate son, that is, this young man, and passed the test of the Mother Earth God Temple, and verified his identity.
I heard that this kid was obtained by the Grand Duke of Lannister in a favored maid, and he was hidden in a manor outside Soros since he was a child, and was educated by various scholars hired by the Grand Duke, and his demeanor and cultivation are good, and his knowledge is also extensive, but he doesn't like to talk much, and his career has also reached the level of a fifth-level peak apprentice, and the Lannister Grand Duke is looking for a high-level enlightenment potion for him.
"From an illegitimate son with nothing to the next Grand Duke of the Lannister family, hehe, this time, the turmoil of the Lannister family is what he has benefited the most!" William explained for a long time, and then concluded:
"Now, on the side of Soros City, the headquarters of the Lannister family is making a lot of noise, and the Grand Duke of Lannister is ruthlessly rectifying several branches, and the branches are not to be outdone, and the fight is to the death!"
"Well, then how did he get to Domis, isn't it very unsafe here?" asked Muen.
"Hehe, the Grand Duke of Lannister was afraid that this kid would not be safe in Soros City, so he sent someone to send him here and let the Grand Duke of Domis help take care of him, it is said that the Grand Duke of Lannister has some friendship with the transcendent guardian of Domis, and no one dares to touch him here.
Moreover, after all, he is the one who wants to inherit the Lannister title, and when he arrives here, he can contact some nobles first. Learn more. When William finished speaking, he did not stop, but sneered a little:
"Actually, the aristocracy is just like that, it's very messy. ”
"Even if it's a personal speculation, but I don't believe it, the original son-in-law of the Lannister Grand Duke was besieged and killed by Lancôme, and the whole army was wiped out, and there was no black hand behind the scenes?
It's not good, behind this, there are the shadows of those branches.
Let's talk about the Grand Duke, to put it bluntly, this bastard is guarding against these branches, this time, if it weren't for this bastard, if it wasn't done well, the Grand Duke would definitely be disgraced and lose power. ”
William introduced this topic, but Mu En thought more, and some things flashed in his mind unconsciously, such as the potion suits of the Lannister caravans, such as the looted black-armored army, which were connected in series, as if pieced together into a truth.
The eldest duke's sister-in-law of Lannister should have known about the existence of an illegitimate child, and he also found out that the grand duke had actually spent a huge price for this bastard child in exchange for this highest-grade potion set, and he was not angry, so he directly led the black armor army to break through Changhu Town, wanting to snatch the potions suit.
But he didn't know that there was another force, and the most likely thing was that this branch of the Lannister family detected his actions, disguised himself as a Lancôme outside Long Lake Town, and instead surrounded and killed him. As a result, the branch began to want to seize power, but the Grand Duke threw out the card of his illegitimate son, disrupting the layout of the branch.
(It's all speculation, but it seems like it only makes sense!) Muen thought.
"Hehe, let me tell you, the nobles are concerned about these flies and dogs, I also came here like this at the beginning, and I have seen a lot, and I am used to it. ”
"Then you really don't care about the position of the city lord of Errant?" asked Muen:
"I care, why don't I care! That's my father's land, naturally it's mine! To say that before, I was just a fool, wanting to eat and drink for the rest of my life, guarding the position of this grand duke, with the foundation laid by my father, it is estimated that it will be like this for a lifetime.
But now, I still care, and what belongs to me must be mine. But I don't care anymore, because a city is too small, my heart is too big, and I want to be the kind of person who can say a word, and there are countless cities trembling. ”
"Well, that's a big ambition!"
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you, my father once competed for the position of King of Soros and lost to his brother, my uncle, but as long as I become an extraordinary professional, as long as I have the strength of an ancestor, those elders in the family are not bad, please go back and be this king.
With the power in hand, what are the calculations of those flies and dogs!"
"That's true!" Muen recognized:
"By the way, Mu En, what is your ideal? Seeing that you practice so hard every day, and you are as great as mine?"
"Mine?!" Mu En's eyes seemed to become distant for a long time, and he said after a long time: "I said, I want to go home, do you believe it......"
"Cut! ”
"Alright, alright, I want to see the view from the top of that professional mountain!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Yes, I want to go home, just to go home, so I have to be strong!)
......
With the presence of Elendi, the group entered Domis very smoothly, perhaps because of the existence of witches, and several people still lived in the hotel.
After discussing with William, Elendi bought the Flying Tiger at a high price, on the surface, it was natural that he, as a knight, really needed a Flying Tiger cub as a mount, but in fact, he paid ten times the price of the Flying Tiger cub.
Moreover, it was sent by Severus himself.
Of course, neither Nuok nor William are really boring people, Severus was not insulted by his imagination after sending the magic crystal and gems over, and Muen also invited him to a simple dinner, and then he realized that Severus was actually proficient in the 'instantaneous' skill.
For this reason, he humbly asked for advice, and Severus also seemed to want to ease the relationship, and did not shy away from explaining to him the method of exerting force and the key points of cultivation of the 'instantaneous step'.
After all, Coren is limited by the influence of his body, and many things can only be expressed, but he can't practice specifically, and Severus naturally doesn't have this taboo, after all, he is a second-order professional who has risen from the grassroots, and he has extremely rich practical experience.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Severus left, and William pulled him to start sharing the spoils, after all, it was the flying winged tiger that was hunted by the two of them, and the harvest was naturally divided between the two, comparable to the price of high-level magical beasts, which has increased tenfold, you can imagine what a huge wealth this is!
In order to calm things down this time, Alendi made a bloody investment, a full forty low-grade magic crystals, plus twenty gems of various colors, which brightened Mu En's eyes.
You must know that the war between Soros and Lancôme was caused by a small magic crystal mine, which shows the value of magic crystals, which is a real high-end hard currency, and the bulk transactions between countries are basically paid for by magic crystals.
Generally speaking, it is the exchange ratio of one low-grade magic crystal to one hundred gold shields, and forty low-grade magic crystals is a huge sum of four thousand gold shields.
And gems are not just ornamental objects in this world, they are necessary for some witchcraft, and in the wizards, they are a currency that is harder than magic crystals.
In the case of magic crystals, William and Mu En divided them equally, and in the case of gems, ten of the best ones were selected and presented to the witch Aya, and the remaining one took five.
In William's words, this time after all, she borrowed her identity as a wizard, otherwise she wouldn't have reaped so many benefits. It's a paid pay, it's a must!
In fact, Eleendi paid such a big price in order to appease the wizard's anger, but he didn't expect someone to be so bold and embezzle most of it.
The gem was naturally sent by Muen, and it seemed that the woman had no resistance to the gem, so the witch took it happily, and after playing with it for a while, she added an hourglass Tunguska course to Muen in the evening.
At night, everyone rested early, after all, the journey in the wilderness was too tiring, and it was necessary to be vigilant at all times, and the spirit was really tired.
According to the plan, the escort team sent by the Grand Duke of Seoul will return here, and Mu Eun and the others will set off again on the third day after a day of rest, relax and relax, and buy enough supplies.
Of course, although it was said that it was a day off, in fact, it was also a busy day, and they had to deal with the 'materials' on the wagon! )
