Chapter Seventy-One: The Road to the Duke

"Uncle Sean Bing, are you looking for me?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Stannis who came out of the tent quickened his pace and caught up with the old man who was walking in front.

The old man turned around with a kind smile on his face, "Why, we haven't seen each other for so many years, can't our uncle and nephew catch up with the past?"

Stannis nodded and smiled, but in his memory, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and it seemed that they did not have a deep friendship.

"Today, your performance on the battlefield is remarkable. The old man looked him up and down, and a great plan had been built in his mind to take shape in his wisdom that had been carved by the years.

"Hey, hey. Stannis touched his head embarrassedly, he didn't expect that his non-stop ghost animals on the battlefield would cause such a big reaction, these Western Continent people really don't have a bright head.

"Yes, the Duke of Tanis, whom I am optimistic about. ”

Stannis thought he was complimenting, so he continued: "Let you see the smile, how can I be a father...... Duke Duke!"

He suspected that his ears were misheard, and Uncle Sean Bing was too direct!

"Yes, you heard it right, I support you, my nephew as the next Duke of Tanis!"

Sean Bing looked serious, and didn't seem to have the slightest joke in it.

Stannis was confused, he was just relying on the effect of the badge of courage to put on a show, and he was elected as the next supreme leader of the Duchy of Tanis, will it give people a ......

"You'd better be smart," Stannis is really not modest, this kind of thing is not going to be a head.

But Sean Bin shook his head, "Do you think I'm an old fool and made a decision on a whim? Actually, I started to observe you a year ago, and although you did such a shocking stupid thing, I still saw the courage of fearlessness in you, just like your father and me back then." ”

Stannis didn't speak, he knew it was okay to talk about other things, but it was better not to be casual in this kind of big thing.

"Tell me, what do you think, are you capable of being Duke Tanis?" Sean Bin looked at him with eager anticipation.

The traverser scratched his head, of course he knew that his ability was not enough to dominate the entire kingdom, not to mention that the endless conspiracy under that seat could leave him with no place to die.

But on the other hand, how can it be impossible for a person to covet such a high position, after all, he is the first person in the kingdom, and if he climbs to that position, he will definitely not be cared for if he does a lot of evil.

"Good is good. He hesitated, "But I can't say that I can do it if I want, now that the Duke of Tanis has someone, and it seems that he doesn't mean much to pass it on to me." ”

Sean Bin didn't speak immediately, he looked at the young man in front of him and wondered if it was worth putting all his chips on, and finally he made up his mind.

"If you want, I have a way to put you on the ducal throne. ”

This sentence shook Stannis's heart like thunder, why did he say it so lightly, as if he could do it if he wanted to.

"Uncle Sean Bing, I heard you right, right? Duke Stani doesn't just get the cabbage and potatoes bought in the vegetable market, their family has ruled the kingdom for so many years, and it is deep-rooted, it doesn't mean that people will be replaced. ”

Sean Bin sneered, "Do you know how the Garcia family became the dukes of the Duchy of Stanley?"

Stannis shook his head blankly.

"Lies and poison! This little family from the south only began to rise to prominence only thirty years ago, and achieved such a prominent position by marrying the widow of the previous duke, and finally climbed to the throne of the duke through countless intrigues, why can't such a person, you, the orthodox descendant of the royal family of Erathia?"

Aren't you a descendant of Illisis?

"In short, by blood, you are fully qualified to inherit. Sean Bing made up his mind.

"But how?" Stannis, of course, understood that these medieval aristocrats were generally related to each other, and as long as they wanted to find them, they could always be related by blood.

"This can be considered in the long run, you just have to answer me: Do you want to be the Duke of Tanis?"

Stannis bit his lip, his heart was at war with heaven and man, and finally he raised his head and said, "Give me some time to think about such a big thing." ”

He finally began to learn the political one, and he kept an eye on it, and his answers were ambiguous, so that people couldn't grasp the handle.

Sean Bing also guessed that he would say this, "Okay, I won't force you, you just need to know that I am not the only one who wants to make you a duke, and I have enough power behind me." ”

Stannis gasped as he could tell the threat in the phrase.

The Imperial envoy nodded at him, then turned back to the Great Tent.

After the feast, Stannis wandered outside for a long time before returning to his residence, because he was now distraught, not knowing whether Sean Bing really wanted to make himself a duke, or if he was just trying to find out what he really thought and then report to the duke to click himself away.

Even if it's true, but how can he become a duke? He has neither a strong family support behind him (I don't know if his father-in-law supports it), nor does he have enough strength to make the people around him submit, and climbing from a beggar lord to the supreme throne is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Boss, why did you come back?"

When Stannis lifts the curtain, he finds Robert fiddling with his badge of courage.

Despite the fear and excitement in his heart, Stannis pretended to be nothing.

"It's nothing, the weather is nice today, I went out for a walk. ”

"Oh. Robert didn't dig deeper, he held up the badge and held it up, "Boss, come over and help me see how this thing works, I didn't take effect for a long time just now." ”

Stannis walked over and picked up the badge, which was quietly shiny, perhaps it was the courage it needed now.

He slipped it around his neck and didn't respond.

He put it in his pocket and felt nothing but coldness.

In the end, he tossed for a long time, and the badge did not take effect as it did on the battlefield during the day.

"What's the situation?" said Stanis, who could not do anything, maybe this thing would only work under certain circumstances.

Robert's eyes lit up, "Boss, I remember you put it in your ass pocket at the time!"

He looked at him helplessly, this kind of treasure must be effective under the special circumstances of the unity of heaven and man, what's the matter!

Still, he kicked the badge in his ass pocket.

"Hot blood!"

In just an instant, the badge had an effect.

Stannis immediately took the badge out of his ass pocket, this thing turned out to be plug and play, and it looks like Luga really didn't lie to himself!

But what was the origin of that woman, and why did she give such a precious thing to herself?

Robert took the badge and rubbed it in his hand, "It's a good thing, I'll ask Luga for one when I get back." ”
