Madame Grey welcomed Gru to the podium and took her seat. There were only two seats in the podium www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, and it was originally intended for Lady Grey and Thunder. Now the situation is different, according to the identity, Ju Lei is just the son-in-law of the Grey family, and the town of Ballston belongs to the territory of the Grey family, even if Gru's status is not yet public, at least he can be regarded as half the master. Gru was not polite either, and sat down with a big grin, and Thunder had to stand beside Lady Grey. Fortunately, the maids were careful and hurriedly moved a seat for him, so that Ju Lei was able to sit down.

"Gru, haven't you found your partner after more than ten years of traveling?" asked Madame Grey. She wished Gru had a home of his own, so that she wouldn't have to compete with her for the heir to the Lost Lands.

However, Gru's answer disappointed her. Gru replied, "Why am I going to find a partner outside to bind myself? ”

Lady Grey shook her head and said, "Gru, you are wrong, my father appointed me as his rightful heir before he died. Following his legacy, I have guarded the Lost Lands for fourteen years. You have chosen to travel, and you have given up your position as heir. ”

"I did not give up, nor did I sign a document to entrust you with the position of heir. My father was so strong that I thought he would live to be at least a few dozen years old, but I didn't expect that he would die young after only a year of traveling. ”

"Gru, you are not a worthy heir. Where were you when your name was called when my father was dying?Where were you when the Lost Lands needed you most?If not, how could my father let me guard the Lost Lands?" Madame Grey turned back and ordered the maid to go to her bedroom to retrieve the old mayor's dying will.

Gru shook his head and said, "You don't have to go and get the will. I have known for a long time that this will was not written by my father himself, but ghostwritten, but only stamped with my father's ring mark at the place of payment, and its legitimacy is questionable. ”

Mrs. Grey said angrily: "Do you think that I found someone to write my father's will?

Gru said, "Can you be quiet? This is a scandal in our family, and I don't want the whole of the Lost Lands to know about it." Father is strongly opposed to your marriage to Great Thunder, and he has been hoping to marry you to the royal family of Erathia in order to strengthen the alliance between the Lost Lands and Erathia and thus protect the Lost Lands. Do you think I am willing to leave my father and travel? You are wrong! When my father learned of your affair with Ju Lei, he prevented you from continuing to associate with him, and on the other hand, asked me to find a way to communicate with Erathia by sea, and to negotiate a marriage. ”

Lady Grey wept and said, "Gru, you have always loved me since I was a child, and I did not expect that in this matter, you would also be opposed, and even go to Erathia without me! Do you want me to leave my homeland and marry someone I never know and have no feelings? Have you considered my feelings and happiness?"

"Protecting the peace of the Lost Lands has been the mission of the Grey family for centuries! Don't you know why my father would give up his sweetheart and obey my grandfather's arrangement to marry a royal woman from the forest elves, that is, our mother?"

Seeing that Madame Grey was silent, Gru continued, "My dear sister, if it weren't for your stubbornness and disobedience, my father would never have let me go to Erathia. How could my father leave the responsibility of guarding the Lost Lands to someone he didn't trust? You don't need to take out the will you concocted, you and I know it very well, and even the cause of his death makes me suspicious. ”

Lady Grey cried, "Do you think that it was because I wanted to marry Ju Lei that my father objected and killed my father?

"Dear sister, let's not talk about this, the people who accompanied him on his deathbed have passed away except for you. What we need to discuss now is who is truly the rightful heir to the Lost Lands. ”

Lady Grey looked up and said, "Gru, my father's will is for me to continue to guard the Lost Land, not you! ”

"If you hadn't married Thunder, as a member of the Grey family, you would have been qualified to continue to protect the Lost Lands. But when you marry Thunder, you lose that qualification. All you can inherit now is the territory of the Giant Thunder family, and the territory of the Grey family is not your dowry!"

Lady Grey sneered, "What are you going to do, imprison your sister and take back everything you think is yours?"

"Dear sister, who is the rightful successor of the Grey family, there is little point in you and I continuing to argue, let the nobles of the Lost Lands decide!"

Gru stood up, placing a goblet in front of himself and Lady Grey, and said loudly, "My dear sister has doubts about who is the rightful guardian of the Lost Lands. I don't want to settle disputes in a conflicting way, so let's be a witness in front of the heroes of the Lost Lands! The native heroes can put a grape in the wine glass in front of the supporter you choose, and whoever gets the most support will be the rightful heir of the Lost Lands!"

The first to walk up was the mayor of Hook Bay, who exclaimed, "I believe Gru is truly capable of leading the Lost Lands." I support Gru and pledge allegiance to him!" he put a grape in his hand into the glass in front of Gru.

The second to come up was Murak. He also said loudly: "Lady Grey has guarded the Lost Land for more than ten years, and all she has brought to the people is harsh taxes and bloody rule. The Lost Lands need truly wise leaders, and I pledge allegiance to Gru!"

The local heroes threw the grapes in their hands into the wine glasses in front of Gru, and to Lady Grey's inexplicable anger, many of the families who had promised to support them also changed their ways, and only the members of the Giant Thunder family and a small number of territorial heroes supported her, relatively few.

Ju Lei was furious, overturned the long table in front of him, stood up and shouted angrily: "Gru, you have planned this conspiracy! You are a betrayal of the Grey family, and an insult to the Giant Thunder family! In order to protect the honor of the two ancient families, I ask to fight you in a duel!"

Gru leaned his back back and smiled slightly: "Ju Lei, right and wrong have already been judged, even if you oppose it, it's useless." I'm not going to duel you, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want my dear sister to become a widow!"

Ju Lei sneered: "Are you a coward who does not dare to accept my challenge? I have guarded the Lost Land with your sister for more than ten years, and it is not something you can take away by conspiracy! If you defeat me, I will admit that you are the guardian of the Lost Land!"

Gru looked at Lady Grey and said, "Sister, do you want that?"

Lady Grey nodded.

"Alright then! The time and place of the duel will be set at sunrise tomorrow, at the mass grave outside the south gate. Sister, even if you lose, I will make my father's Black Castle your domain. If Ju Lei swears allegiance to me, he can also keep their family's territory, otherwise I will deal with him for treason!"

Madame Grey sneered, "What if you lose?"

Gru exclaimed, "I am defeated, if I lose, I will never step into the lost land again!"

The mentor stood up and said, "Both of you are very powerful heroes in the Lost Lands, and I hope that the duel between you will not be decided by life and death, otherwise it will be a very big loss for the Lost Lands." Find a notary public for each of you, because if there are too many people watching the battle, you will inevitably injure others. ”

Who should be the notary?' thought to Mrs. Grey. The Mentor and the Scythe have a big conflict with him, and they must have helped Gru, and almost all the other local heroes in the Lost Lands have taken refuge in Gru, and few of them can be trusted anymore. Madame Grey thought about it and turned her gaze to Catherine.

Catherine nodded, and Lady Grey was overjoyed and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is the most impartial and impartial, and I have chosen Her Royal Highness the Princess as our notary." ”

Gru said: "Then I will choose the mentor as our notary, the mentor is highly respected, and he will testify impartially like Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The town of Ballston and the city of princesses exploded. Many people are critical of Lady Grey and support Gru's responsibility to succeed her as guardian of the Grey family. After all, the war is about to begin, and the Lost Lands needs a strong leader, but there is not much confidence in whether Gru can defeat the powerful Thunder.

There are also many people who have a lot of faith in Gru. Without two brushes, would he dare to accept the challenge of Giant Thunder?

Cuthbert actually ran into the tavern and began to sit down, and urged everyone to bet. Gru's odds on Ju Lei are 3 to 1, naturally many people bet their money on Ju Lei, and Cuthbert couldn't keep himself busy at all, so he called many subordinates to help him take orders.

The entire princess city has the ability to offer such high odds, and I'm afraid only Cuthbert is the only one.

Catherine and Eldred are talking to Murak about Gru. In order to regain the throne of the heir, Gru made many promises to the families of the Lost Lands, such as complete autonomy of each family's territory, all families who signed the agreement would receive security and peace guarantees, and even allowed each family to build their own castle and promised to contribute part of the construction funds. These promises made the heads of the families excited, not to mention that Gru had no fault for inheriting the family business, so they pledged their allegiance to Gru.

Lady Grey was completely in the dark about all this, and was caught off guard by Gru at the party she had carefully prepared, and the only thing that could save the defeat was the battle of the Giant Thunder tomorrow.

When Eldred heard that Cuthbert was gambling in the tavern, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What does this old library want to do? Isn't this a loser?"

Catherine disagreed. She shook her head and said, "Cuthbert was born cautious, and he would never do anything he was sure of unless he was completely sure." There is an opportunity to make money, and he will definitely not miss it. ”

Eldred thought for a moment and said, "That's what you said, but I'm still not at ease. I'm going to ask him, don't let him mess up. ”

Catherine nodded and said, "Then you go and ask!"

Eldred ran like a fawn, his round hips swaying from side to side.

Mulak was dumbfounded. Catherine coughed, and Murak came to his senses, his face flushed for the most part.

"Murak, do you think Gru can defeat the Great Thunder?" asked Catherine.

"Yes...... I believe he should be able to defeat the Great Thunder. He was already a powerful hero, not to mention that he had been cultivating all over the world for such a long time. The mentor has a very high opinion of his abilities. ”

"Alas, I hope he is a good leader who can lead everyone to guard the Lost Land. But what he did today didn't look glamorous. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, he did this as a last resort. Many families are dissatisfied with Lady Grey's leadership, and only Gru has the ability to unite all of them. Being able to resolve disputes in a bloodless manner is already the best outcome. ”

What else can Catherine say? She thinks that this world is very unfair, why can't a woman inherit the family property after marrying? Why can't her own queen be a queen because she has no heir? Can't she be her heir? This is obviously bullying women!

Catherine couldn't wait for the day the portal opened. If she can get Gru's nautical chart, she is willing to exchange the princess city with him, anyway, the princess city will be handed over to him sooner or later!
