Chapter 142: New Team Members
"The heirloom crown has been kept in the hands of our Stuart family for nearly four hundred years, and although there are many twists and turns, it has finally been passed down to this day without danger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Count Norkington said with emotion, he knew it was true as soon as he got his hands on the crown, he was too familiar with it, "It's a pity that it has always been the same, and no one can ever peek into the mystery!"
The Earl of Norkington let out a long sigh, put the crown back into the wooden box, and then pushed it in front of the old duke with some reluctance: "According to the requirements of our cooperation, the crown will be handed over to you for one year." ā
"Lord Earl, this is the supreme wealth of the family!" the two young men behind Earl Norkington obviously did not know that this condition existed, and they couldn't help but stop when they heard this.
"Rest easy, a real ally is more trustworthy than a secret that can never be solved, isn't it!" the Earl laughed and stopped, "But this crown does have an extraordinary meaning to our family, so I have a reluctant request, and I hope that the Grand Duke will allow it." ā
Grand Duke Pendragon took the wooden box and did not open it again, but handed it directly to the servant behind him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Please also ask your family to believe in our sincerity, after all, we have a strong common enemy." As for the request, we will do our best!"
"It's not too complicated, it's just that some young people in the family are a little interested in the adventures of your son!" Earl Norkington motioned to the two young men behind him to step forward, and then slowly introduced: "You also know that the so-called times create heroes, and in such a turbulent era, it is the time for young people to take the lead. Therefore, I also hope that your son can help these juniors in the family a little!"
Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but glance at Chenxi, and his heart was really as Chenxi had said before. What is to promote the younger generations, but I just want to take this opportunity to re-enter the British Isles.
The Duke couldn't help frowning when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't expect the other party to adopt such a roundabout way. As the relationship between him and Kevin's father and son improved, he knew that this group of young people was going to enter a large divine domain next. As dangerous as the Divine Domain is, there are also endless resources and opportunities. This made him instinctively want to refuse, but the temptation of the heirloom crown made him a little unable to open his mouth. So he could only signal Kevin: "I think it's better to leave the young man's affairs to the young people to make their own decisions!"
Kevin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, how could he not understand the meaning of the duke's shirk, but Mo said that the leading power of this matter was originally in the hands of Chenxi, even if Chenxi allowed him, he didn't want such an uncertain factor to appear around him. In desperation, he quietly glanced at the morning light with his afterglow, but found that the other party secretly made a "one" gesture.
"Lord Earl Norkington, it stands to reason that I cannot refuse this request for the sake of our friendship. But as you know, our team is more complex. And I'm not the one in charge. So, we can only accept one team member......" Kevin said in a soothing tone, he had heard that the Stuart family was somewhat paranoid in their personality genes, so he was also a little worried about angering the other party.
ā...... Oh......" The Earl of Norkington glanced at Chenxi with a little meaning, how could the small movements between the two young men hide from such an old fox, but he only smiled slightly: "If that's the case, what do you think of Guna and Ivanres?"
"My lord, I don't ...... this kind of trick," a young man behind Norkington said coldly, as if he was still sulking because of the crown matter, but he still consciously closed his mouth after seeing Norkington's cold eyes.
Another young girl replied softly, "If I don't dislike it, I'd love to enjoy the adventure!"
"Guna ......" Ivanrez couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, but after glancing at Norkington, he didn't say anything more.
"Great, I don't think this young master Kevin will disappoint my little princess, right?" Although Norkington spoke to Kevin, his eyes kept squinting slightly at the morning light. "Guna is the brightest pearl of our House of Stuarts, and I hope you will do your duty as an English gentleman. ā
"Didn't ......? No problem!" Kevin stammered as he looked at the girl, who was almost a head taller than himself.
"So, then I'll be thankful!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Norkington immediately got up and said goodbye with a smile, "I think you still have a lot to say, then we will take our leave first, and Guna will come as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, the Duke of Pendragon couldn't help but get up to see him off, but left the two of them in the reception room.
"Dawn, I don't understand, why keep her, this is a hidden danger for us!" Kevin couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw the door of the reception room close again.
"Or could we have a better choice?" Dawn walked to the window of the reception room, where he could see the back garden of the castle. When Dawn first arrived, he walked over there to visit Master Lorraine in the treehouse.
"This ...... Alas!" Kevin sighed. Aristocratic transactions pay attention to the exchange of gifts and equivalent exchanges. Since the Grand Duke of Pendragon coveted the secret of the crown, he had to pay a price.
"Moreover, that girl's abilities are not below you and me, and it is not a bad thing to take her with you. Chenxi turned around and said, "After all, she represents the interests of the Stuart family, and the Holy See will be a little more jealous of her in the team!"
"Smack...... The applause came from the door of the meeting room, but it was the Grand Duke who had already sent the three Norkingtons away, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Chenxi's answer.
"Dawn, you really deserve to be Morey's son!" the duke smiled heartily: "Your father and son are indeed my lucky stars, I haven't thanked you properly, and finally I didn't let this evil obstacle become a big mistake!"
Kevin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard this, if it weren't for Chenxi's reminder, he was afraid that he would have been ruined at this time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up and ask, "Father, Augustus, ...... them?"
"They haven't come back since the Black Forest incident, and it's better not for these rebels to fall into my hands, hum!" the Grand Duke snorted coldly, but Dawn didn't hear much anger from it. There is no moral bottom line for this kind of deceit between forces. If this kind of thing really affects the mood, then the status of the patriarch of the Grand Duke of Pendragon is only over.
"Lord Duke, what is the reaction of the Holy See this time?" asked Chenxi with some concern.
"It's unusually calm, but the more it is, the more unsettling it becomes. Even if I have made an alliance with the Stuart family, I still have a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart!"
