Chapter 8: The Ground Helmet Insect (1)
In the council chamber, Levigo sat on his fur-covered throne, his face cloudy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Suddenly, and I don't know what to remember, he looked back at the golden emblem above his head.
"Now you can't protect me, thank you for letting me live a comfortable life. ”
With the memory of this body, although the dominance of consciousness has not been transformed, Levi still has a certain sense of identity with his current identity.
Through the exploration of the memories of the original owner of the body, he has obtained many things that he did not know before, such as the origin of his bloodline, and the inheritance behind this bloodline.
The Roland world, after all, is different from the earth. Because of the distance between individual forces, its aristocracy is not quite different. Or rather, it has retained the original style of the system, and has not become too corrupt. Most of the nobles here are still like the first wolves in the pack, enjoying the best of things, but on the contrary, they are always at the forefront, defending everything they protect with their swords and shields. Although it is not noble and selfless, it is by no means contemptible.
Seven of the ten lords before him ended up spilling blood, including "his" grandfather, maternal grandfather, and great-grandfather. It can be said that his current stable life was bought with the blood of the ancestors of the Arthur family.
For this point, even the former "playboy" Li Wei has respect, and is often shy and ashamed of his lack of effort, so that he often repents of this family emblem.
Of course, as a person who has not yet asked for low-level interests, this one only stays at the stage of "thinking", and has never expressed anything at the level of "practical action".
As a result, now, he has to carry this "pot" on his back, and take over the banners of "defending honor" and "carrying forward the family", who made him Levi Arthur now?
The sound of the door opening broke his thinking, and Levi tidied up his clothes, trying to make himself more majestic, after all, it was his first official appearance.
Before, he was sitting in this seat, just playing the role of another person.
The door to the council chamber was pushed open by the guards waiting on either side, and Andrew stepped through the threshold first. Behind the old man, there were more than a dozen people, young and old, the youngest of whom was in his thirties. They were all dressed as hunters, and they all had some special decorations on their bodies, such as animal skin coats and fanged necklaces. This is also one of the great characteristics of Roland. Whatever industry you are engaged in, you have to bring utensils that symbolize that industry as a decoration. For example, mercenaries, even if they are dressed in regular clothes, must wear a sword and shield badge on their right chest. If you change to a blacksmith, you will carry a small hammer with you and carry it behind your waist. Thanks to it, it is easy to identify strangers when walking down the street. Of course, there is a reason for this. It can greatly avoid conflict and allow most people to be cautious in their interactions with high-value personnel.
After the people behind him lined up and stood one by one, Andrew bowed to Levi not far away, "Lord Lord, these people in front of you are the best hunters in our territory, and each of them has outstanding achievements. Like the elder behind me......" he waved at an old man behind him with gray-haired hair but looking in good spirits, "his name is Benson Graystone, and when he was younger, he participated in a hunt against dragons and organized the trap-making, half of whom were his disciples. He's the pride of our Limestone Territory. Your father also received him with great pomp. ”
When Old Man Benson heard these compliments, his face was just as usual.
He bowed to Levi, and then still stood with his waist straight, his razor-sharp eyes looking left and right, and the whole person had a grandmaster-like aura and demeanor.
This old man is also the most ordinary-dressed person here.
If it weren't for the necklace made of animal teeth on his chest, just looking at his clothes, I'm afraid everyone would think that he was just an ordinary old farmer. When Levi looked at him, he paid special attention to his feet, and found that he was only wearing a pair of straw sandals, and he couldn't help but have a little more respect for this unpretentious person.
"May Heavenly Father bless you in good health. ”
When Levi spoke, he folded his hands and smiled very kindly at the old man.
Benson then pointed to the bald man with a thick beard to the left of the old man, who was the tallest man in the area, who looked like a giant bear. The dress is also the most gorgeous, just the dragon crocodile skin armor on the body, people can't take their eyes off.
The position occupied by this man and Old Man Benson happened to be right in the middle of all the hunters.
"Bivis Limestone, a powerful warrior, was the leader of a mercenary group that numbered nearly 1,000 three years ago. Last winter, he hunted ten adult ground helmet insects by himself......"
Unlike Old Man Benson, from the first moment he entered, the pair of big bronze eyes stared at the two statue-like warriors behind Levi's throne.
After bowing to Levi, Bivis took the initiative to say hello.
"The original Heavenly Father bless your health and keep your honor alive. ”
Levi nodded in acknowledgment, "Good luck with your hunt." ”
After that, Andrew introduced three or four people in a row, and Levi greeted them one by one, showing that he was eager to find talent.
After Andrew's introduction, Levi said solemnly: "This time, inviting everyone to come is a big event. In the middle of this year, there was a flood in our limestone collar that has not been encountered for more than ten years, which everyone must know. The scourge has no eyes, and we have suffered great losses in our territory. But fortunately, the casualties of the people were not many this time. However, this year's harvest has been greatly affected. There are many poor families in the territory, and it is very likely that they will not survive the coming winter. As Lord of the Limestone Lord, and Earl Arthur of the Kingdom of Edo, I cannot tolerate this. However, due to the floods, I had already spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of food and other supplies, and I was not able to do enough at this time. You are invited to come here to brainstorm a few more ways for these needy townspeople to survive this winter. Here, I would like to ask you not to hide your secrets. Of course, I am greatly rewarded for meritorious people. ”
When he said this, there was a whisper here. Even Andrew, who was on their side, looked puzzled. But the old man thought for a moment, and immediately coughed twice, suppressing these private discussions.
Levi didn't care what they thought.
"I would like to ask you, what are the relatively precious and abundant products in the wasteland in the territory, and there are many of them, and they are not worried about the market, and it is best to have some special animals and plants......"
