"My lord, what do you mean by that? ”

Custer stood in front of Yuren with a gloomy face, he never thought that the trick he had originally used to embarrass the lord was now going around himself. Frankly speaking, Custer really didn't know what kind of big fish he had inadvertently intercepted, he just relied on his years of experience to judge that there was something wrong with these people, although those traveling merchants were not innocent people, and ordinary people would not want to go to them to trouble so as not to burn themselves. But one of Custer's missions in the Twilight Forest is to set fire for the lord, and although it is said that the merchants who operate in the local area are not easy to dismiss, these wandering merchants must not be spared. In Custer's opinion, this young lord does not seem to be a particularly assertive person, he must not be able to handle such a thing by himself, no matter what the outcome is, the notoriety of the Twilight Forest will definitely spread, those wandering merchants are walking in all directions, as long as they are let go when the time comes, then this task will be 100% completed. Taking a step back, even if that lord gritted his teeth and killed people for the good reputation of the territory, wouldn't there still be himself and others? At that time, as long as the rumors about this lord's ruthlessness were spread, it would also have a considerable impact......... It's just that in an extraordinary period, Custer really doesn't want to do this kind of thing by himself.

But now, things were clearly going a little out of Custer's expectations, and Yuren had indeed released them, but what happened next surprised him, the lord not only planned to travel with these traveling merchants, but even asked them to accompany him by name?

"My lord, we are members of the garrison, and we are only responsible for the internal security of the Twilight Forest, so ..............."

"But I am your lord. ”

Yulian interrupted Custer's speech and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with an elegant, cold smile.

"As my subordinate, shouldn't you follow my orders?"

"I think you're mistaken, my lord. ”

Hearing this, Custer's face also became solemn.

"Although we are responsible for the security of the Twilight Forest, we are not your subordinates, please don't forget, we are sent by the Viscount of Juventus to 'assist' you in managing the Twilight Forest, and we have the right to refuse anything else. ”

Custer bites the word "assist" very hard, and it is clear that he is reminding Yuren that he is not his subordinate, and that he has no authority to order himself to do things that only his retainers do. After all, although these people are now nominally in Yulian's name, but their real masters are still the Bird family, compared with the Bird family, the lord of Youlian is far inferior in terms of status and power, how can they follow the other party's orders? Thinking of this, Custer couldn't help but glance at Yulian again, this lord should be very clear about the relationship between them, and now giving such an order, is it intended to swallow them completely and let them really become residents here?

Custer couldn't help but sneer inwardly, he wanted to see what this lord was capable of. Dare to confront the Bird family, wealth, fame, or women? But then again, the maids in these castles are really good, if this lord is really willing to spend such a large amount of money to win them over, then they can't consider working under him for a few years......... Of course, they will never be the retainers of this man, just look at the strength, no matter how hard this man tries, he can only be a small lord. No matter how stupid they are, they will not choose to abandon a big force like the Bird family to develop with him.

However, unlike what Custer thought, Yulian didn't say anything in the face of his answer, he still had a peaceful smile, and even his facial muscles didn't change, and then, he spoke slowly.

"O'Fariel. ”

"What's the matter, sir?"

Offariel, who had been following Yuren, pulled on her cloak and stepped forward.

"As a commoner, how should I be punished for being rude to nobles?"

"Fifty lashes at the lightest, and expulsion from the territory with a heavy reproach. ”

O'Faryl searched his brain for a second, and then quickly gave an answer.

"Since he is your subordinate, then it is necessary to add the disobedience of orders, and the following will be committed......... Punishment for several crimes, ..............."

"In that case?"

"Capital offense. ”

Ofaril spoke categorically, without any room for manoeuvre, and when he heard this, the anger that Karst had hidden in his heart immediately burned.

What are you kidding, but a little nobleman, do you dare to kill me? Does he really think that as a nobleman, others will be obediently killed by him? What are you kidding! Lao Tzu can't fight a big family like Bird, but even a little nobleman like you, who can't even see a single bird feather, dares to threaten Lao Tzu, do you really think you are an idiot?

Thinking of this, Custer's face immediately sank.

"Lord Lord, I advise you to stop fighting these boring ideas, we don't care about a little nobleman like you!"

Custer thought that his words were already very respectful, and there was already a vague threat to him. He had thought that after hearing his words, the young nobleman would have some reaction, but who knew that he was still there whispering to Ofaril.

"Do you hear that? O'Fariel, this is a blatant, naked threat. ”

"According to the law, this is to be shown to the public........."

This bunch of guys!

"You ..............."

Custer gritted his teeth, then reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword, and pulled out the long sword at his waist, he really didn't give this young nobleman a little color today, he really thought of himself as something!

At the same time as Custer drew his sword, he suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and there was no time to retract the force that made Cust pull out his sword like this. But when Casskey looked at it, he was astonished, only a sword hilt remained in his hand, and the sword body was neatly cut off and completely disappeared.

What's going on?

Custer looked at the hilt of his sword in disbelief, and then he looked away, only to find that the young nobleman's hand had been hanging down, but he didn't know when it had been placed on the hilt of the sword behind his waist.

Could it be him?

Custer gasped, he subconsciously looked around, only to see that there were only three of them in the large living room, and of course he knew his weapon, and there was no problem at all. And the current situation is that at the moment when he drew his sword, someone could actually interrupt his weapon silently!

In this group of people, Custer's strength is relatively high, and he is also very confident in his own strength, but now, Custer's originally extremely inflated confidence has suddenly disappeared.

What the hell is going on? Could it really be that this little imp who doesn't look half his size did it? Custer can't believe his own judgment, if that's the case, then doesn't it mean that this little imp has at least the strength of a high-level swordsman? This is absolutely impossible, Custer thinks that he sees this young little nobleman very clearly, every day he looks lazy and lazy, except for drinking tea and reading books, that is, chatting with those little maids in the castle, and looking no different from other noble boys. However, the girl beside him was much more enthusiastic about the development of the territory than him, but the lord of Yulian was leisurely and comfortable, and he didn't see him take time to practice any swordsmanship, of course, the sword that Yulian carried with him was not unseen, and they laughed at the young nobleman at that time for not knowing how to use a sword at all, just pretending.

But now...............

"Mr. Custer, I think you only have two options right now. ”

Yulian quietly stared at the man in front of him.

"The first choice I think you should know better than me, so I won't say more. ”

“............ And what about the second option?"

Castel took a deep breath, lowered his hand again, and asked in a low voice.

"You are not the only one who can be the captain of the garrison. ”

Yuren's words were clear and clear, and there was no room for compromise. This made Custer's brows furrow immediately, although from Yulian's actions just now, he guessed that the other party was likely to kill him. But now hearing Yulian say it, he still felt a chill in his heart, to be honest, although Custer still refused to believe in his heart, the young man in front of him really had such a powerful power. But what if this young lord is really a high-ranking swordsman? Unlike the one-tenacious fools of the Zack family, he has been in the Bird family for several years, and he has heard of transactions between nobles. Don't look at the fact that he is quite valued by the Viscount of Juventus now, but his identity is only a civilian after all. As O'Fariel said, it is a felony to commit a crime below a civilian. If this noble young master is a waste, it would be fine, but if he was not a waste, would the Bird family give up the opportunity to befriend a high-level swordsman because of himself?

"I see what you mean, my lord. ”

Thinking of this, Custer bent down deeply. Although he is still not sure about the details of this young nobleman, he is still cautious in everything, and this lord can let him toss whatever he wants, anyway, as long as he reports to the Viscount of Juventus at that time, he will not be punished. It would be unwise to punish the momentary anger here.

"I'll do as you tell me, how many guards do you need?"

"I need three teams of guards, and here in the Twilight Forest, just one team is enough to patrol. ”

"This ............... Good. ”

After listening to Yuren's command, Custer reflexively wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came out, he swallowed it again. Then, he solemnly saluted Youlian, and then turned to leave.

This matter must be reported to the Viscount of Juventus immediately!

Castel quickly left the hall with his mind, while Julien and O'Faryl looked at his back and smiled at each other.

"It's still easier to deal with smart people. ”

"Of course. ”

"But............ I think you've already thought about the next question. ”

"Of course. ”

In response to Offariel's inquiry, Yulian smiled and nodded.

"With Judy and them playing, I don't think I need to worry about anything............ Next, we just need to protect our cargo. ”

"You mean............ Goods?"

O'Faryl rolled her eyes, then looked at her master in surprise.

"My lord, do you want to ...............?"

"If what those gentlemen said is correct, then there must be many people in the Zack family looking forward to the return of this young master, right?"

Julien patted O'Faryl on the shoulder and replied with a chuckle, a cold, cruel smile in his eyes.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't start the price of such a good cargo?"
