A man who looked like a butler waited under the tall city gate, and when he saw Lear coming, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Lord Lear, I am Harry, the steward of Earl Grote's palace, and Lord Earl has sent me to wait here for a long time. ”

Harry laughed at the corners of his mouth that were about to reach the base of his ears, like a fox that had become a spirit.

Although it looked like Harry was very respectful of him inside and out, Lear still caught a trace of hidden hostility in the other party's eyes, which made him a little confused So, he had never been to Bright Moon City, and he had never shown his purpose in front of anyone, where did this hostility come from?

And just looking at Harry's identity, he already has a not very optimistic premonition about the outcome of his trip, although Grote is an earl, but he is also a fifth-level magician, not to mention that he will personally come to greet this kind of words, send a butler to wait here, you can see that Grote does not attach so much importance to himself.

However, if you come, you will be safe, and what will happen to see you will talk about it, it really can't be done, he is not the only choice, this time he came to ask for directions.

After a slight pleasantry, Harry led the way, and the orcs stayed outside the city as usual, while Lear only led Adela and Haag into the city with Harry.

Although it is a private castle, the layout of Bright Moon City is obviously much larger than that of Kaunaston, and it is not exactly as strict as a military fortress as Lear imagined.

There are also houses and shops along the way, even more lively than Kaunaston, but there are more soldiers in military uniforms and some nobles who come and go, and occasionally there are aliens passing by, but the number is very scarce, and more pedestrians dressed as villagers should come to purchase manpower from the nearby villages of Gongwei Mingyue City.

The outer city is not large, about the size of Kaunaston, while the inner city is built with military barracks.

Along the way, Lear saw griffons hovering in the air, and also saw sword banners flying above the barracks in the distance, the cavalry training ground should be under the city walls farther away, because Lear did not hear any neighing and hoofs of horses, as for the abbey and Cloudsdale, I heard that Count Grote had not been blessed by the god of war Ardis to build it.

The Lord's Mansion was built on a low hill near the Griffon's Bluff, and it was rumored that the Earl was fond of dealing with these tamed monsters in addition to women, and his own mount was a white royal griffin, which was extremely fierce and would get anyone else except the Count himself to get close.

Originally, Lear thought that the distance was very short but it was extraordinarily long, starting from the city gate until he stepped on the hillside where the Earl's Palace was located, although it was a slow horse, but it also took more than an hour, that is to say, the depth of Bright Moon City was longer than the outer city wall, Lear roughly estimated, it should have reached almost eight kilometers.

This gave him a clear idea of Earl Grote's financial resources and strength.

Running such a large castle and feeding the army was not supported by a single Kaunaston and a few villages, and Grote should have an additional source of income, either another castle or a gold mine, but Lear thought the latter was more likely.

"When you arrive, please wait in the front hall, and I will inform Your Excellency the Chief Administrator. ”

Harry smiled and bowed to Lear before turning away, leaving Lear in the spot, confused.

There's a big boss? This Grote is really interesting.

After half a cup of tea, a gorgeously dressed man in his fifties appeared in front of Lear, and he began to apologize from a long distance, but Lear could feel the real hypocrisy in the wrinkles of his laughter.

"I'm very sorry Master Mage, because I can't get out of the body because of something temporary, I can only let Harry run for me, I am the chief steward of the Earl's Court, Bernard, please forgive me for the rudeness. ”

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Lear, and an old man in his fifties saluted a young man in his fifties first, putting aside each other's identities, at least he did a good job on the surface.

"Dare to ask when the Earl can see me?"

Lear nodded lightly to the Archmaster Bernard in return and asked directly.

It's not that he wants to take care of his identity, it's just that Grote's approach has made him quite unhappy, or he will simply disappear, and Lao Tzu will go to another family, what does it mean to send two housekeepers in a row to be seen?

A hint of gloom flashed in Bernard's eyes before he looked up, but he reverted to a home smile in the first moment he faced Lear.

"Well, Lord Earl is dealing with some important government affairs, so I have been entrusted to greet you first, if you need anything, Mr. Mage, you can tell me immediately, and I will send someone to handle it immediately, but I may have to ask you to wait a while, because Lord Count really can't get away now. ”

"Then wait. ”

Judging from the ** light dancing in Bernard's eyes, how could Lear not think that Lord Earl was "busy" with something, but of course he wouldn't break it, he just wanted to see how he planned to face him when Grote came out.

Bernard was not annoyed when he saw that Lear no longer spoke, and after clapping his hands, he walked out from under the curtains, and several fair girls dressed in sexy light gauze and hazy clothes, after the music started, those girls began to dance to the rhythm, Lear lowered his head and drank tea as if he couldn't see anything, but Haag's eyes widened and appreciated, looking like a pig brother who had been in drought for a long time.

After another hour, with a burst of heavy footsteps and hearty laughter, Count Grote finally appeared, accompanied by a few guards, and Lear glanced behind him to understand why he had been treated so coldly.

Grote was followed by a magician, level five.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Mage, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but the trivial things of those lords are so annoying, I rushed over as soon as I finished dealing with it, and I ask you to forgive me for my rudeness and neglect. ”

Grote shouted from afar, and the ample air with his voice reverberated back and forth in the air, showing his own outstanding strength, even if he had just experienced a "big war", he was still a dragon and a tiger.

"It has nothing to do with your honorable Earl, but it is my honor to be received by you. ”

Lear's face also raised that aristocratic hypocrisy, some things are like that, you know it's disgusting, but sometimes you still have to use it, especially when everyone thinks that a piece of is gold, you can only pinch your nose to admit that it is a piece of gold, even if you say it's a piece of gold, you will be repelled, of course, this situation is only limited to when you are asked or controlled by others.

Only then can you be brave enough to point at everyone's nose and scold you all for.

"So, dear Mr. Mage, what can I do for you when you have come all the way to my castle?"

After Grout sat down on the main seat in the living room, he leaned over to Lear and asked.

"As a matter of fact, I have nothing to trouble you, but I heard of your prestige when I passed through Kaunaston, and I came to pay a special visit to you, and I admired you very much for creating such a great inheritance in the great environment of the three tribes in this vast land of Eri. ”

From the first moment he saw the mage behind Grote, Lear understood that there was no need to say anything, not only because the other party was of the same level as him, but also because of the other party's identity.

It was an acquaintance, Mr. Smiling Elson, who was still standing behind Grlot with a smile on his face, but who looked like he didn't know him at all.

After contacting Elson's anomalous behavior in the Sarabuto Mage Guild, Lear smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from it.

Obviously, he was the first to get there, and that person probably had the same idea as him.

It's really getting more and more interesting, he inserted a shadow in Tiga and it hasn't worked, and now people have arched a pawn under his nose.

Want me to eat it?
