Section 14 Sir Dale
Sir Dale was a little emaciated, he was actually ten years younger than Gray's father, but he looked more than a decade older than Gray's father, although Gray's father was only a small nobleman in the country, but his life was obviously much more comfortable than Dale's. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sir Dale's father was the younger brother of Gray's grandfather, and when he became an adult, he glanced at Gray and left Aarenburg with a sum of money, although he was not an illegitimate child, but the domain of a baron could not accommodate two brothers surnamed Lagley.
The reality is so cruel, it has been thirty years, Dale and his father have been wanting to return to Aarenburg, this is also Gray's dream, but Gray is not to go back to see his hometown, he wants to go back to regain his dignity.
Gray seemed to see his future in his uncle, and if it hadn't changed, he would have been like this in a few decades, maybe even worse! Yes, maybe he should learn from that Mark!Gray thought to himself.
Sir Dale was very happy with Gray's arrival, "Oh, Gray, my dear nephew, I received a letter from your squire yesterday, and I was worried for a while, if I don't hear from you again, I am going to send some cavalry to support you!"
Perhaps because Sir Dale had no children of his own, he was married once in his youth, and had a very happy life, but his wife had an unfortunate misfortune with the child when she gave birth, and he did not marry again.
"Hello, Uncle Dale!" Gray smiled, this was Sir Dale's own request, he asked Gray to call him uncle, Gray liked to come to his Uncle Dale, he could feel that Sir Dale liked him from the bottom of his heart.
"You are always so polite, dear nephew, I have told you many times that you need not be so informal," said Sir Dale. ”
"So, come to me today, what's the matter, kid. Don't worry, sit down first!" said Sir Dale's tone of voice was very modest and kind.
Gray nodded, ready to sit down in the chair next to his desk, "Yes, Uncle Dale, are you familiar with Thor, the court magician's disciple?"
Dale was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "Thor?I still know a little bit, it seems that he is the former attendant of Lord Earl, his father also saved Lord Earl's life before, originally Lord Count canonized his father as a knight, but when he encountered something later, it was over!"
"What did you say?" Gray's body, which was already about to sit down, suddenly stood upright.
Sir Dale was a little surprised by Gray's reaction, he looked at Gray suspiciously, and Gray sensed his gaffe, "I'm sorry, Uncle Dale. ”
"Nothing, Gray, have you encountered something?" said Sir Dale, not unhappy with Gray's faux pas, but worried about Gray.
But Gray promised Thor not to tell his uncle about it, "That's right, during this mission, I met an officer named Mark, and Thor told me a story, which is similar to what you told, but the protagonist seems to be different!"
Sir Dale laughed when he heard this, "The protagonist is the same, my nephew, the two of them are brothers! Their father was ridiculed for his failure to be a knight, and some nobles even publicly insulted him, and within a few years he died of depression, and the Lord Earl probably felt very sorry for their father, so he made Thor his attendant, and later the court magician Barr discovered his magical talent and accepted him as a disciple!"
Speaking of this, Sir Dale sighed, "The clerk named Mark, who was still young at the time, the Earl even let him study with his son, but later the Earl's son died because he fell off his horse, and many nobles advocated the execution of Mark, who was by the Earl's son's side at that time, or the Earl's mercy, he did not do so, and arranged for him to work in the castle." ”
"Later, because of his personality, Mark took the initiative to apply for a transfer to a remote village as an affairs officer!"
"When did he apply for a transfer?" Gray asked quickly.
Sir Dale stopped looking at the papers, glanced at Gray, and then continued with what he was doing, "About two or three years ago, I don't remember a long time, but this man impressed me very much, he was very capable and very serious in his work, so I have some impressions of him, what? have you met him?"
Gray 'En' snorted, "He was working as an affairs officer in Zegaxi Village in the Red Rain Forest, and he just happened to meet him, no wonder Thor is so concerned about this affairs officer!"
"Oh, he actually applied to be transferred there!" "Sir Dale was a little surprised, but then relieved, "it is indeed a good place, in recent years the income from the charcoal trade there has been much higher than the tax of the entire Herion Territory, he is indeed a talent!"
Sir Dale seemed to think of something, he put down the parchment in his hand, and said seriously: "Gray, this goblin turmoil seems to be a little different, I have also experienced it several times, but this time the whole castle reveals a strange atmosphere, you have to be more careful, and pay attention to the safety of Lord Earl!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Dale!" Gray replied earnestly.
Looking at the confident Gray, Sir Dale smiled and didn't speak, he may have thought of when he was young, but he is now old and no longer has the vigor of his youth, he looked out the window, "I really want to go to Aarenburg, I have always heard my father say Aarenburg, but until he died, I didn't help him realize this wish!"
Gray didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer, he didn't have any ability to help Sir Dale right now, he didn't like to say things that didn't look for margins, but deep down he remembered what Sir Dale had just said.
"When you are old, you like to be emotional!" said Sir Dale softly, "and Cartery is at the villa to-day, and you should talk to her, and the young man should stay with the young man!"
When Gray heard this, he felt a little bitter in his heart, this Carteri was the adopted daughter of Sir Dale, the granddaughter of his mother's brother's family, and she was very beautiful, and Dale had always hoped that Gray would marry Carteri so that his property could be given to them in full.
However, Gray knew that although Cartli had not explicitly refused, she did not have Gray in her eyes at all, not that Cateri did not like Gray, but that she wanted to marry a big nobleman, she even wanted to be a princess, and her desire for power even exceeded that of most men.
