Chapter 102: Standing and Talking

Even Viscount Francis is a magical idiot who knows what the Elven Tree of Life is, let alone the glamorous magician Lucy.

"Isn't it?" Francis was dumbfounded, not expecting that in that legendary place where the poor were almost unable to even wear pants, a few random things would be priceless things.

Lucy Magician even covered her mouth with her jade hands, with an incredible look. If it weren't for the Marquis, she might have questioned it immediately. It's also incredible, a small baron lord, a magic scrap wood that hasn't even passed the magic trial, but what he holds in his hand is a legendary priceless treasure.

"Yes, it must be. The Marquis was still pacing, muttering, "What else is there besides the Tree of Life, which is still so verdant after many branches have been plucked, and I must report it to His Majesty at once!"

As soon as he had taken two steps, the Marquis's footsteps stopped, as if he had thought of something very important, and after a moment of silence, he walked directly back to his seat, and then sat down.

"Father?" asked Francis as he watched his father walk a few steps and come back, not understanding what was happening.

"Francis, Lucy, don't tell anyone about it. The Marquis told his son and his personal magician very seriously.

"Why?" Francis was even more puzzled, even Lucy next to him was a mist of a couple, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the marquis's gourd.

"His Majesty the Grand Duke is old, and soon the duchy will have to choose a new heir. The Marquis did not hide anything from his son and the people around him, and directly said what he had just considered: "The two highnesses of the Grand Duke, at present, are not suitable candidates. The branches of the tree of life are enough to make the old man's body slowly become healthy, and we can't give him this hope and time. ”

"But, father!" Francis never thought that his father would say such a thing, and he was a little anxious: "In any case, His Majesty the Grand Duke is still very good to me, isn't it appropriate for us to be like this?"

"The reason why he is good to you is because he wants to win me over. The Marquis snorted softly, "It's not that he thinks you're of much help to him. Those two highnesses, whoever inherits the title of Grand Duke, also need to look at my face and act. If His Majesty had been allowed to obtain the branches of the Tree of Life now, perhaps there would not have been such a good chance. ”

Francis is just a little squirrel, but he is not a stupid person, not to mention that he has been exposed to such an environment since he was a child, and even wood instinctively knows about the struggle for power between these nobles. As soon as the Marquis explained this, Francis immediately realized his father's intentions.

Lucy looked at the two men in front of her, one old and one young, as if she didn't understand what they were talking about at all, and was very puzzled from beginning to end. To this, the Marquis only smiled lightly and said nothing. He knew very well what this sorceress was thinking, and since she didn't understand it, the Marquis wouldn't force her.

"Francis, this Antonio, you will be more polite when you treat him in the future. The Marquis instructed his son earnestly: "Don't be too close, but don't look at him like an ordinary person." He has the branches of the Tree of Life in his hands, even if he doesn't ask for any opportunities to develop in the future, he can save your life at a critical moment. ”

"Yes, father. This command simply spoke to Francis's heart. Not to mention how much benefit the branches of the Tree of Life could bring, the gold coins that could be seen rolling like flowing water soon after were enough to make Francis polite when he saw Meng Han.

Meng Han didn't know at all that he had already paid more attention in the eyes of a marquis in the national capital, and he was still living a seemingly leisurely life in Huangsha Town. However, the people around Meng Han know that Meng Han's recent life has not been easy at all.

Since that day, Qiao and Zhu seem to have another reverence for the lord, and the kind of strength shown in their tone and action to carry out orders without hesitation made others look a little surprised. Led by the two captains of their teams, all the members of the pro-soldier team also began to train frantically, and the atmosphere in the entire secret barracks was refreshing.

"Alice, when you go out on business, pay more attention. Meng Han instructed his housekeeper as promised: "As long as you have the opportunity to meet someone who sells suitable magic books or intermediate and high-level fighting spirits, if you have enough gold coins, buy them as much as possible." ”

Whether it's magic or fighting spirit, it's what Huangsha Town lacks the most at the moment. With sisters Demi and Diana here, Meng Han has nothing but water magic. As for the fighting spirit, Qiao and Zhu were hindered by the family tradition, and they were unable to teach those pro-soldiers their family's fighting spirit, but only taught them the basic fighting spirit, so any fighting spirit, Meng Han needed it, and there were people here to learn.

In addition to magic and fighting spirit, Meng Han knew the most deeply that in the army, equipment is also an extremely important part, and sometimes the quality of equipment is even more important than real magic and fighting spirit.

"Go and call the brothers Edward and Edwin. Meng Han watched the soldiers not far away train seriously, and softly commanded Demi beside him.

Calling someone here has become one of the words that Meng Han used to mark his surname at Huangsha Station. At this time, it means that the lord has some shocking idea in his head that needs to be realized, or he has some idea to make money, and he will soon exchange it for gold coins.

Demi and Diana couldn't be more familiar with the lord's set, and when they heard it, they immediately ran away excitedly and went directly to call someone. Even Diana next to her looked at the direction in which Demi disappeared from time to time, as if she was looking forward to the arrival of Edward and Edwin, and carefully looked at the lord's refreshing ideas.

Qiao and Zhu were focused on military training, and they didn't know enough about this characteristic of the lord. When Demi left, they didn't have any special ideas, and they didn't realize that it was almost all about them.

Edward and Edwin appeared in a hurry, almost at a trot. With them, in addition to Demi who went to call them, there was also Grace. No one knows better than Grace about the lord's good habits, as soon as she heard the lord's name Edwin and Edward, she put down everything and rushed over directly, this kind of moment to witness the lord's glory, as an inner housekeeper, she must not miss it.

"My lord!" the dwarf brothers saluted very respectfully when they saw Meng Han. It's the same with Grace.

"Edward, Edwin, there's something I want you to do. "With the dwarf brothers, Meng Han was almost polite, and ordered directly.

"Edward, Edwin, what I want you to do, only you know by yourself, no one else, no one can say, can you do it?" Very seriously, Meng Han called the two of them by name again, and asked very seriously.

"Of course, my lord, we will never give away half of what you are going to do, without your orders. "The dwarf brothers knew what Meng Han meant as soon as they heard it, the two of them were already grateful to Meng Han, if it weren't for Meng Han, they wouldn't even have the opportunity to learn from Master Howard, dwarves are the most sincere race, and the dwarf brothers have also inherited the fine traditions of their race. Meng Han's command, they carried it out as if it were a holy decree.

What Meng Han wants to do this time is an imitation of the three-edged military thorn of the previous life. This kind of thing is short in size, easy to carry, and has huge lethality, as long as it is stabbed, under the current conditions, unless there is a light mage to serve closely, or has a branch like Meng Han who holds the branch of the Tree of Life as a staff, there is a way for the living blood to come back in first aid, and the rest, it seems that there is only one way to die.

His own personal soldiers, of course, Meng Han had to equip this best thing. Calling the dwarven brothers over is actually to use the skills they learned from the dwarven masters to realize these short and capable military thorns.

"My lord, these are very simple, we can make them. After listening carefully to Meng Han's description, Edward patted his chest and agreed.

Out of the need for secrecy, Meng Han didn't even give them drawings to draw, but just asked them to imagine in their heads. Fortunately, the triangular military thorn is not such a complicated thing, and the two of them can easily comprehend it. Although it will inevitably leak after being used in the future, if you can be a little ahead, you can be ahead step by step. This is the experience of the United States in a previous life.

This time, Meng Han didn't explain the purpose, even the dwarf brothers didn't understand why Meng Han made such a strange three-sided military thorn, and Grace and the two little maids watching next to him naturally didn't understand either.

"My lord, what is that?" Diana looked at it curiously for a long time, without waiting for Meng Han's explanation, and couldn't help but gesture and ask.

"It's a weapon of self-defense. Meng Han smiled and didn't hide it: "It's just a little more powerful." ”

"Are you going to let everyone kill people with those things?" Diana blinked her bright eyes and looked at Meng Han with a flicker.

"Killing?" Meng Han smiled slightly: "No." Using these things just saves us from having to suffer a lot of anger in the future. Just so that when we face anyone in the future, we can stand and talk to them, not lying down, kneeling, or lying on our stomachs, that's all. ”
