Chapter 116 Tabek's Request

A hint of surprise flashed in Lorlist's eyes, he didn't expect that this thin man like a clown in front of him could recover so quickly under the impact of his own spirit, and he could calmly perform his duties as a messenger after suffering his own humiliation, it seems that this baron's willpower is very strong, this person is not simple.

Putting away his cynical smile, Lorist straightened up and said solemnly: "Welcome, as the head of the Norton family, I, Norton Lorlist, on behalf of the Norton family, wait for the Duke's orders. ”

Baron Camorra looked at Lorist very cautiously, he didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him, unlike all the territorial nobles he had come into contact with, although the new head of the Norton family was very polite, he didn't seem to be respectful to the Duke, on the contrary, no matter his tone and demeanor, he seemed to regard the Duke as a nobleman of the same status and equal status, and in him, it was not that nasty arrogance, but a kind of confidence......

"Your Excellency Norton, as the Grand Duke who leads the Northlands, the Grand Duke Lukins wants to ask, why did the second prince put all the nobles in the Northland under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke for nearly three years, and the Norton family has not been able to meet him, is this against the morality of the nobles? Even after the death of Baron Norton, the new lord did not report to the Grand Duke and ask for permission. Lord Duke had been waiting patiently for three years, and he couldn't bear this humiliation, so he wondered if the Norton family regarded him as an enemy?"

Lorist smiled lightly: "The Norton family has never regarded Duke Lukins and his family as enemies, and they also recognize the Duke's jurisdiction over the Northlands, otherwise the Norton family would not have paid their taxes on time. But the Norton family does not consider the Duke to be our superior lord, as we all know, the Norton family has always been directly governed by the Clisson royal family, may I ask the Baron, when did Lord Duke Lukins become a member of the Clisson royal family?"

"Didn't the second prince transfer the ownership of all the lords of the Northland to the jurisdiction of the Duke?" Baron Camorra questioned.

"Lord Baron, can the second prince represent the royal family of the Crisson Empire? I'm afraid not, all the nobles know that it is the third prince of the Antinac Kingdom who represents the orthodoxy of the royal family of the former Crisson Empire. So why did the Second Prince transfer the ownership of our Norton family to Lord Duke? Of course, if Duke Luggins officially issues a document to transfer the ownership of our Norton family to Lord Duke with the consent of the Third Prince, then I will immediately go to meet Lord Duke. As for now, as you said, my new lord is busy with affairs, so I can only visit the Duke when I have time later. Lorist said.

"Uh......" Baron Camorra didn't expect Lorlist's answer to be this, and it was also reasonable: "So, your Norton family is determined to go against the Duke?"

"Whether or not we are against the Duke is up to the Duke to decide, if he thinks what I said is justified, he should go and negotiate with the Third Prince about the ownership of our Norton family. If he thinks that our Norton family is working against him, then whatever he wants, he can send his Northland Legion to conquer us. Although our Norton family is weak compared to the Duke's army, we are the roaring bears of the Northlands, and we can still do it by breaking a few of the Duke's teeth and dragging our feet together. "Lorist didn't care about Baron Camorra's threat.

It seems that there is a dispute over this issue of ownership, and the Norton family, unlike other realm nobles, really does not care about the threat of the Duke's powerful Northland Legion. Baron Camorra could not and decided to skip the topic anyway. The purpose of this trip is not whether the Norton family will go to meet the Duke, but the 100,000 gold fords.

"Your Excellency Norton, I think we should put this dispute aside for now, and I will report your Norton family's reply to the Duke in its original form, and we can only wait for the Duke to decide what decision the Duke will make. Baron Camorra said, "Can we discuss the other two things next?"

"Of course, please take a seat, I'll listen. Since it was a discussion, it didn't have to be so formal, and Lorist warmly invited Baron Camorra to sit down and discuss it again.

In the short round of verbal confrontation just now, Lorist couldn't help but be a little impressed by this thin man, seeing that he had lost the upper hand, he was neither reasonable nor able to force the Norton family to bow his head with threats, this thin man could immediately change the topic, not dragging his feet at all, and it was really neat.

"First of all, I hope you don't publicize it, the Duke doesn't want to be discovered by the Second Prince, because the Second Prince has been openly and secretly obstructing the Duke from forming the Northland Legion, and has set up many obstacles, so the Duke secretly collected a sum of money and entrusted the Kenmasse family to secretly purchase a batch of ordnance materials for him. It's just that I didn't expect Viscount Kenmax to transport the funds to the Red River Valley Manor Castle for storage. As a result, due to the war between your Norton and Kenmax, you burned down the castle of the Red River Valley Manor, and the money fell into your hands. Lord Duke wants you to return the funds to him, and for that he sincerely expresses his gratitude to the Norton family. ”

"The money was 100,000 goldfords, and it was packed in five large boxes with iron corners. "Baron Camorra is very sincere in telling the lies he has made, and the strength of the Norton family seems to be beyond the expectations of the Duke and him. It seems that the original coercion and coercion and other direct means are no longer used, so they can only take a roundabout route.

Lorist really wants to applaud Baron Camorra, what a talent, can make up a lie so smoothly, it is easy for an uninformed person to believe it when he hears it, even 100,000 gold fords are packed in five large iron boxes, doesn't it mean that the money belongs to the Duke? It's a pity that Lord Duke must not have expected that Butler Boris took refuge in him, he knew everyone in the castle of the Red River Valley Manor, and the cronies of Viscount Kenmax who stayed in the castle of the Red River Valley Manor to guard the money had been identified, and fifty whips made him obediently confess the origin of the Viscount's private money.

Duke Lukins got the news out of nowhere, and the 100,000 Kingford seemed to make the Duke red-eyed, and he immediately stretched out his greedy claws, and sent such a powerful armed force, thinking that it should be fought without the idea of Wen's martial arts. It's a pity that he underestimated the strength of the Norton family, and now it has become difficult to ride a tiger.

Lorist looked at Baron Camorra with a smile on his face, and continued to make up nonsense for me.

Baron Camorra's face blushed a little unnaturally at the sight, and he asked very carefully, "Your Excellency Norton, ......do you see this matter?"

Lorist said a few times: "Let's put this matter aside, what is the other thing?What does the Duke want to discuss with us?"

"Oh, that's right, due to the impact of the war in the past few years, the Duke's palace is very dilapidated, and the city defense of the capital city of Gildusk has been in disrepair for many years, and the city walls have cracked, and the Duke is trapped in a lack of funds and cannot be renovated and organized. I heard that the Norton family won a great victory in the war with the Kenmare family and obtained a large number of Kenmas family building materials, so the Duke is eager to get half of the construction materials for the reconstruction of the ducal palace and the annex...... "Baron Camorra took it upon himself to reduce the amount from two-thirds to half.

"Finished?"

"It's over. Baron Camorra nodded.

"Hehe, just these two requests?" asked Lorlister with a smile.

Baron Camorra nodded again: "Yes, just these two requests." ”

"I haven't said it yet, I have a request......" Tabek next to him was very angry that Lorist ignored his existence, and deliberately intervened in the conversation between Baron Camorra and Lorlist.

Lorist glanced at the golden-rank knight in surprise: "Then this honorable knight, if you have any requirements, please come and hear ......"

"I see that there are a lot of iron armor in your family, and even ordinary soldiers wear iron armor. And our Northland Legion has less than 100 pairs of more than 20,000 people, so I ask that the iron armor on you be stripped off and let me bring it back......"

Tabek had always looked down on Baron Camorra, and he couldn't figure out why the Duke would make this clown a baron, even if it was a court baron, and he had no territory. It was very reluctant to go to the Norton family to envoy Tabek this time, first, he felt very good when he accompanied this clown baron, didn't this clown lose face just now. He pretended to have nothing to do and talked to the Norton family's leading boys. The second is that he thinks that any Norton family must obediently obey orders, there is a Northland legion, and Tabek does not believe that any lord in the Northland dares to disobey the orders of the Duke.

It wasn't until the lightning-fast green arrows in front of the Rock Castle pinned his mount to the ground that he realized that there was still a Gold-Tier Archer in the Norton family that he couldn't provoke, so he restrained his temperament and was unruly. Even when he was teasing the silver knight of the Norton family, he had been keeping an eye out for the golden archer, and when he heard that soft snort, he stopped.

No one is stupid, otherwise Tabek would not have been promoted to the Golden Rank. It wasn't until the Norton family came in that he noticed that things had taken a turn for the worse. First of all, the golden archer actually gave up his vigilance, and the whole person relaxed and looked up at the roof, not knowing what was going on. Secondly, the leader of the Norton family sat in front of him, within reach. Tabek carefully observed and sensed that the kid in front of him was not even silver, otherwise the fighting spirit running in the bloodline would not be as good as a golden knight, and at most this kid would be a black iron rank.

Tabek had long been impatient with the kind words of Baron Camorra and Lorlist, when did the envoy of the Duke want to talk to people so equally, isn't it all a commanding tone? Don't look at the Norton family has a gold-level archer, but what can they really do to the Northland Army? One person drowned him with a mouthful of phlegm.

Before, Tabek was honest because he was afraid that he would be unlucky, in case the archer proposed a duel to him, wouldn't he be suffering, not to mention that he knew that he was not an opponent, even if the archer didn't hurt himself, he would be ashamed to beat himself. Tabek didn't want to be a joke for everyone else when he and the clown went back......

But now is a godsend, the kid of the Norton family sits in front of him so arrogantly, as long as he takes him, what other way does the Norton family have but to surrender, even if it is the golden archer, there is no way to take himself, unless he doesn't want his own lord, but is this possible? There are also twenty silver knights brought by himself, and then these people in charge of the Norton family here will be controlled, and then the castle gate will be opened, and two hundred soldiers of the Northland Legion will be allowed in, and the overall situation will be decided at that time......

As long as he can take down the leader of the Norton family in front of him, all the requirements of the Duke can be fulfilled, and the biggest hero of this mission is himself, and the clown next to him will become a big joke, maybe the Duke will deprive him of his title in anger and make him a pariah again. And maybe because of this merit, he will be canonized by the Duke with a territory and title, and then he will become a territorial nobleman......

Tabek thought a lot and wondered, but he was a cautious person, and he was always observing the movements around him, but he quickly put his mind at ease, the golden archer seemed to be asleep, and he really couldn't figure out how he could sleep so comfortably on such an occasion. The two guards of the kid in front of him were obviously not here, and were muttering something to each other. Now it's just an excuse to do it.

It's not that Tabek didn't want to make a sudden attack, but in this way, it would be too ungraceful, how to say that he is also a gold-level knight, and he has to rely on a sneak attack to deal with a black iron, even if he succeeds, he will be accused by the nobles of not having a sense of honor as a knight, and this shame will accompany him for the rest of his life. The best result is that the kid in front of him fell out with himself, and it would be perfect to strike first and then take him down.

Tabek thought and did so, so he made a request that Lorest would never accept.

When Baron Camorra heard Tabek's request, he chuckled in his heart, as if a string had been broken, and he knew that he was going to suffer, and that nothing could be achieved on this trip.

Sure enough, Lorist sneered, and the more he laughed, the colder his voice became......

"What are you laughing at?" Tabek asked unpleasantly.

"See that door?" said Lorlist, pointing to the door of the large dining room.

"Do what?"

"Go out and turn right and go straight to the castle gate......."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you stupid? Don't you understand that I'm telling you to fuck off? I really don't understand how such a pig brain was promoted to the Golden Knight, maybe this is a fool with dog luck. Lorist said.

Even if he deliberately caused trouble, but this Tabek was almost fainted by Lorist, this kid spoke too harshly, is this a human word, as a golden knight, no one has ever insulted himself so rudely.

"You have to pay for what you say...... Tabek said grimly, slamming his palm on the long table, which split in half, and the pots, bowls, cups, and wine barrels on the table splattered in all directions, and Tabek threw himself at Lorist with open hands......
