Lily's mother was Baron Stone's only sister, and as for her father, Griffith had never met or heard anyone mention it.

This man, in Carolingburg, seems to be a taboo.

As for the aunt, Griffith was not impressed, but remembered that the other party smiled very softly and was very pale. When Griffith was 6 years old, his aunt fell ill and died, leaving behind a 3-year-old daughter, so Stone adopted Lily as his adopted daughter.

Lily, as well as Griffith's third brother Fidel, the two have been Griffith's little henchmen since childhood.

After waiting for almost a minute, Lily finally let go of the hands holding Griffith with a red face, and greeted Anna a little embarrassed: "Sister Anna, long time no see." ”

Anna smiled and gave Lily a small bag of dried fish from Qianfan City as a souvenir.

"Why are you the only one here?" Griffith asked, seemingly casually, "What about Andrew? and Fidel, Gary, and Larry." ”

"Oh—I almost forgot. Lily showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Brother Andrew, they have all gone to meet the messenger of Griffon's Heart, and Brother Andrew also asked me to tell you sorry." ”

"Emissary?" Griffith's brow furrowed, "Isn't the Marquis coming?"

The succession of the title of a vassal naturally requires the consent of the sovereign. With the Carolingian family's current status in the Ilia Peninsula, it is more reasonable for the Marquis of Griffin to personally preside over the succession ceremony.

"I heard that the Marquis is sick. Lily explained, "The messenger this time is Lord Philip, the eldest son of the Marquis. ”

Philip Griffin?

Griffith, naturally, had heard the name.

The current Marquis of Griffin is exactly 60 years old this year. For a mid-level warrior who relied on pills, this age could already be regarded as a twilight year. The Marquis has three sons, although the eldest son Philip is the rightful heir, but his mother has passed away for more than 30 years, and the relationship between father and son is not close, but the second son and the third son, all born to the current Marquise, are very favored by the Marquis.

The inheritance of the Griffin family is calm on the surface, but in fact it is turbulent.

As for Baron Stone's attitude towards this matter, Griffith was completely unaware of it, he was only 12 years old when he left home, and he was not qualified to participate in such a thing at all.

"Brother Griffith, let's go back quickly, my father has prepared a banquet in the castle and is waiting for you. Lily took Griffith's hand and urged.

Walking on a strange and familiar dirt road, Griffith's mood began to tense.

Carolingburg is located on the Chishui River, with a circumference of about 1 kilometer, and the main tower of the castle is about 20 meters high, and there is also a stone bridge connecting the north and south banks of the Chishui River, and on the other side of the stone bridge, there is a four-story watchtower.

It is not easy to build a building of this scale, with the productivity of this world. In fact, it was all thanks to Stone's childhood friend Liana.

When Liana was promoted to level 5 Warlock, she was given the extremely practical magic of "turning mud into stone", and spent three months helping Baron Stone expand Caroling's fort, and the stone bridge and watchtower on the south bank were built at that time. Griffith, who was only ten years old at the time, and Lily and Fidel, were eye-opening, and followed Liana's ass all day.

"Young Master Griffith, welcome back. Walking into the castle, more than 20 familiar servants and guards were lined up on both sides of the courtyard behind the aisle of the city gate, and at the main entrance of the castle, there stood a tall and burly middle-aged man with a resolute face.

This person was naturally Griffith's father, Carolingian Baron Stone. If you look closely, you can find that Griffith and Stone are four or five points similar in appearance, the difference is that Stone has a rough face, while Griffith is much more delicate.

Baron Stone looked very good, except for his hair being a little gray, and he did not look at all like a patient with a serious injury that had not healed.

"Father. Griffith walked forward quickly, nervous.

"Seeing me, my heart is beating so fast, how many bad things have you done to hide from me?" A high-ranking warrior like Stone was extremely sensitive to his ears and eyes, and Griffith was just standing in front of him, and even his heartbeat was perceived.

"Father, son, aren't I worried that Kyle Osborne's matter is causing you trouble?" Griffith quickly changed the topic: "I don't know what kind of attitude the Marquis has?"

Thorn had already brought back the news of the capture of Ole Osborne a few days ago, involving the heir of the Osborne family, and such an important matter, Baron Stone naturally had to report it to his lord Marquis Griffin as soon as possible. Subsequent negotiations and ransoms must also follow the orders of Griffonheart.

"We'll talk about that later. Stone patted Griffith on the shoulder, "It's been a long journey, it's not early now, you should be hungry, let's eat first."

Griffith was prepared for a family dinner, and apart from Griffith and his men, only Baron Stone and Lily were present.

"Father, where's Aunt Liana?" Griffith asked without seeing the person he wanted to see the most.

Liana has a lot of money, and she has always doted on Griffith, who has been more and more short of money recently, and Griffith, who has been more and more short of money, still wants to get some autumn breeze from this aunt.

"Who told you to linger in Hydra for so long? Stone scolded with a smile, "The envoys from Griffonheart City arrived in Green Vine Town yesterday, and Liana didn't want to meet them, so she left at noon yesterday." ”

Green Vine Town is located at the easternmost point of the Carolingian Barony, and the first stop for emissaries from Griffon's Heart City is along the Chishui River to the west.

"I was wrong. Griffith hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, scolding himself in his heart for not taking this into account, and now he couldn't hold his thighs.

"Liana had prepared a congratulatory gift for you, and she took her anger with her. Stone continued to give Griffith a critical blow when she said it, she'll give it to you when you're free to visit her in Molten City." ”

Griffith wanted to cry without tears, so he could only silently calculate when he was free to go to the dark region.

After the feast, the others were led down by the servants to settle down, and Stone and Griffith, father and son, came to the lookout on the top floor of the castle, and each sat on a wicker chair, blowing in the wind, and saw the large fields of farmland that the people had worked so hard to cultivate.

"Kyle Osborne's thing, you're doing a great job. Stone had a relieved expression on his face, which completely put Griffith's heart at ease. "You don't want to get involved in the rest. Although we are reasonable, the Marquis also has his concerns, and we can't get cheap and sell well. Also, Gerald also wrote to me, he is your teacher after all, and he must always give him face. ”

Gerald would intercede for Kyle Osborne, and Griffith was prepared. A student who is qualified to enter the Spell League is of high value to Gerald, and he will definitely try to preserve it.

"Everything was commanded by my father. Griffith continued to play the role of a good son.

"Listen to Thorn, you want Hydra Village?" After the foreshadowing, Stone began to get to the point.
