539. Go to the feast
"Ferdinand, Hathaway, what are you two looking at?"
Annabella, with the help of her maid, walked up to the lookout with her long skirt and asked the father and daughter.
The cool night breeze made her pull the scarf around her shoulders, and Annabella's arrival was a complete break in the deadlock.
Ferdinand. Marquis Luthor turned his head to look at Annabella, his expression softened, and asked in a calm tone, "Annabella, your journey has been quite smooth?" ”
"It's fine!" Annabella replied.
She and the Marquis of Luthor were brother and sister, and had the best relationship with the Marquis of Luthor before she married, and later became a countess after marrying in Constantinople, and every summer, she would return to the Manor of the Marquis of Luther in the city of Bena to live for a while.
"Auntie." Hathaway's eyes were a little red.
The fight in the street continued, and the five swordsmen in suit surrounded Surdak, but fortunately both sides were restrained, at least not yet.
"Hey, who messed with our Hathaway."
Annabella walked over and took her niece in her arms, both of whom had eyes as magnificent as emeralds, which were said to be a manifestation of the Luther bloodline.
Hathaway's face was slightly red, and she glared at the Marquis of Luthor angrily, not knowing how to explain it for a while.
Annabella put her arm around Hathaway, leaned against the wall of the lookout, and said to the Marquis of Luther, "I have seen that young man...... He came to Bena City with us by airship. ”
Marquis Luthor was slightly stunned, and asked Annabella curiously: "Which young nobleman is he?" ”
Annabella laughed and said, "I didn't ask his name on the airship, I just played at a table, and he was a taciturn young man. ”
Marquis Luthor nodded and asked, "Annabella, are you trying to intercede with Hathaway?" ”
Annabella sneered, "I don't want to meddle in your affairs, Ferdinand, I just think you and Hathaway need to sit down and have a good talk, as for this young man from Highlandsa City, do you really want to arrest him?" Or do you think that letting him disappear from Hathaway's eyes will solve the problem once and for all? ”
Then, Annabella turned to Hathaway and asked: "The problem between you and your father will arise in every aristocratic family, I hated your grandfather for a while like you, but then I thought about it, since you enjoy a good life, you need to do something for the family, if you want to reconcile with Luther, show your sincerity, I think a step back from both sides can solve this matter." ”
Hathaway was silent
Annabella persuaded again: "Hathaway, I know how much your father loves you, he will always prioritize your feelings, but there are some things you must do for the sake of the family, and it is your responsibility. ”
Hathaway tilted her head and sniffled, her blue eyes tingling with a hint of rebellion.
Although her eyes were full of willfulness, she said to the Marquis of Luther: "Let him go, I am willing to participate in the meeting the day after tomorrow, and I will do what I have to do." ”
"Are you serious?" Marquis Luthor looked at Hathaway seriously and asked.
Hathaway glared back at the Marquis of Luthor without giving in, as if she felt the need to answer again.
"Well, it's a deal!" Marquis Luthor nodded, and said to the chief of the guard beside him, "You go and inform Nathaniel and let that young man go!" ”
The guard standing aside, "Yes, Lord Marquis!" ”
Marquis Luthor put his arm around his sister Annabella's shoulders and was overjoyed at her arrival, and the group walked down the watchtower.
It wasn't until Marquis Luthor was finished that Beatrice came up from the side, stood beside Hathaway, and sighed softly as he looked at Surdak on the street, who was forced to retreat by a group of constructed swordsmen.
……
The street looks deserted, but the street lights on both sides are bright.
At this time, there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets.
The five constructed swordsmen pressed forward in five directions, trying to surround Surdak, their idea was also very simple, they just wanted to seize Surdak's sword hanging from his waist, Surdak did not use weapons, and the constructed swordsmen naturally did not draw their swords.
Surdak didn't want to be tied up, so he used his arm to block a heavy punch from the swordsman who was constructing the swordsman at the head.
He wore a crusty bracer on his forearm, but even so, a punch from the constructor at the head of the swordsman nearly broke Surdak's wrist.
Surdak snorted and immediately punched the guy as well.
It's just that the price of Surdak's punch is that the surrounding swordsmen completely surround Surdak.
Surdak took a defensive stance, using the strongest part of his body to block the punches and kicks of the swordsmen, and Surdak was not powerless in the process, he would occasionally return the punch, and it didn't take long for his body to be covered with footprints.
Fortunately, he had a strong physique and was not injured in the chaos of the swordsman.
In the Imperial Decree, the knight's weapon was a symbol of imperial power, and countless knights formed an army to defend the country, and they had the right to carry a sword with them, which even the knights of the guard battalion had no right to interfere with.
That's why Surdak had the courage to refuse these constructed swordsmen.
Surdak was very embarrassed in the siege of the five constructed swordsmen, the swordsmen have a strong balance, and they cooperate with each other is also very tacit, they cooperate with each other to attack Surdak, forcing Surdak to panting, if it weren't for Surdak's solid blocking skills, he would almost be blasted by these five constructed swordsmen.
Although he doesn't have a shield on his arm, he still likes to raise his arm when he attacks when he fights.
Surdak did not turn on the knight's aura of power, and every collision was a contest of power.
Only those who have been on the battlefield can feel it,
A fist stole from the side of his ear, and Surdak turned sideways as he dodged his head to the side, dodging the punch and slamming the sword into the constructed swordsman.
A sneaky kick from the side kicked him in the ribs, and Surdak felt only a sharp pain, and his body flew out uncontrollably, falling on the bushes on the side of the road, and smashed a bench, waiting for Surdak to crawl out of the bushes.
Once again, the constructed swordsman pounced without hesitation, mixing together again.
"Nathaniel, the Marquis has an order, let it go!"
Just when Surdak was completely under attack, a guard ran from the main entrance of the manor and said to the swordsmen.
"Alright, everyone, close the line!"
The constructed swordsman immediately stopped, gave Surdak a thumbs up, and without saying a word, turned away with a group of constructed knights.
The guards also looked at Surdak curiously, and then turned back to the manor.
Surdak wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in some embarrassment, and his face was swollen by a solid punch from the constructed swordsman.
I took a few solid kicks on my body, but I still felt a little pain.
He tried to move his legs and feet, but found that it was all right, and then limped onto the magic caravan.
He didn't expect Hathaway's home to be able to mobilize such a powerful constructed swordsman, and when he sat back on the sofa in the carriage, he glanced at the manor hidden in the night, but unfortunately he couldn't see the scenery inside the manor at all in the night.
Surdak beckoned to the coachman standing on the side of the street in a daze, signaling that he could come.
The coachman trembled and climbed into the seat of the magic car, and he didn't care about the damage on the carriage, and raised his whip to drive the broken magic caravan away from this aristocratic area.
It wasn't until the magic caravan completely drove out of the aristocratic neighborhood that the coachman slowed down, and when he saw that no one was catching up behind him, he let out a long sigh.
Surdak sat in the compartment of the magic caravan and used the Holy Light Technique to heal the bruises on his body.
Return to the hotel.
……
I've been staying in a hotel for the past two days and haven't been anywhere.
It was as if the whole city of Bednar was talking about the strange events that had taken place at Bradbury Manor.
Everyone is curious about something that happened in Bradbury Manor, after all, it is a crystal key related to the treasure of the red dragon, and it is said that if anyone finds the treasure of the red dragon, they will immediately have a large fortune.
Of course, there are mixed opinions about the Bradbury family.
A large part of the citizens thought that everyone was too careless in Bradbury Manor, and they didn't look carefully for the wall relief groove at all, so they didn't find the crystal key hidden inside, and the magic crystal that the rebels stole from Bradbury Manor was probably fake.
There are also some citizens who believe that the magic crystal is engraved with some kind of belonging teleportation circle, and every once in a while it will automatically return to Bradbury Manor according to the hidden summoning circle on the wall, and for this reason, some people have tried to break into Bradbury Manor again, wanting to see the wall that exudes magical power.
It's just that this time, these bastards who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to blend into Bradbury Manor were almost all stopped outside by the knights of the guard battalion.
Finally, there are some people who believe that the magic crystal that has reappeared is a fake at all, and it has really fallen into the hands of the rebels.
Surdak sat at the table, listening to the outlandish ideas while eating his lunch.
After lunch, Surdak sat down in the diner-room for a while, then went to the stable behind the inner courtyard of the inn, took out his Gubolai horse, inquired about the equestrian training ground with the waiter, and rode out of the hotel.
He took the Gubo horse around the training ground a few times, let the Gubo horse move, and then returned to the hotel before dinner.
In the meantime, he sent Hathaway some more letters, but did not receive a reply.
I don't know if they were severely punished when they returned home that night.
……
By the time I met Luther, the sun was shining outside the window.
Surdak got up from bed early, took advantage of the morning time to take a bath, shaved the beard on his chin with a skinning knife, and began to awkwardly put on a noble gown.
After noon, Surdak came out of the hotel on a Gubolai horse.
Following the address left by the Marquis of Luthor in his letter, Surdak first walked all the way into the wealthy area, and found that the scenery on both sides of the road was somewhat familiar.
When he rode to the gate of the Marquis Luther's mansion, he realized that this place seemed to have been there the day before yesterday, and the street outside happened to be the place where he fought with a group of constructed swordsmen.
Surdak still thought to himself: This is really a coincidence, Hathaway and Marquis Luthor are neighbors, and it seems that Hathaway's family also has a big person like Marquis Luther.
There was a wide open space at the entrance of the manor, and in front of the gate was the Luther family crest, and Surdak came to the large iron gate.
The guard at the gate hurriedly walked out and asked Surdak what he was doing.
Surdak jumped off the horse and took out the letterhead of the Marquis of Luthor from his arms, and the guard at the door took the letterhead in Surdak's hand, and when he saw the private seal of the Marquis of Luthor on the letterhead, he hurriedly glanced at his companions in the gatehouse, and said with a smile: "Our Marquis didn't go out, it seems that he is waiting for you in the manor!" ”
"Wait a minute, I've already sent someone to report to the Marquis." The porter guard said.
It didn't take long for the gates of the manor to be completely opened by the gatekeepers, who stood in the doorway to salute Surdak.
Surdak rode into the splendid manor, first through a long doorway at the gate, and then a little further along the main road in the forecourt of the manor, until he came to the edge of a fountain, behind which a group of guards stood on the steps.
Surdak came to the bottom of the steps and jumped off his horse.
"Baron Surdak, Lord Marquis has been waiting for you for a while!" One of the guards stood on the steps and said to Surdak with a smile.
After speaking, he looked at Surdak seriously, and when he saw Surdak's face, his expression was obviously slightly suffocated.
However, his face immediately recovered, and he actually became more complimentary, and the guards asked the servants on the side to take the reins from Surdak's hand, and then led Surdak up the stone steps, looking at the tall buildings like castles, Surdak sighed in his heart the rich heritage of the Luthor family.
Step by step, step by step, into the glittering first-floor lobby, Surdak stepped on the soft carpet like falling clouds.
Marquis Luthor and his wife were waiting in the hall on the first floor, and when they saw Surdak walking in from outside the door, Marquis Luthor hurriedly got up with his wife to greet him, and said to his wife Marianne with a smile: "Baron Surdak is here, don't underestimate him, he has made many achievements in the city of Warzhmara on the maca plane, and almost all the guards of the city's defense department know him......"
"You go and see if Hathaway is ready, and call her over if she's ready!" Hathaway's mother, Lady Marianne, said to the maid beside her.
"Yes, ma'am!" The maid hurriedly turned around and trotted all the way upstairs.
Surdak walked up to the Marquis of Luthor and stood up straight, seeing the Marquis Luthor looking at him with a radiant look, Surdak was also on fire, without the Marquis Luther's recommendation, he was afraid that he would not be able to cross the threshold of nobility in his life.
"Lord Marquis Luthor!" Surdak gave a military salute to the Marquis of Luthor and said.
"Madame!" Although Surdak did not know Lady Marianne, he also knew that it was the wife of the Marquis of Luthor, so he also gave a military salute.
Lady Marianne smiled and looked at Surdak with soft eyes, and seeing that he was in a straight posture and dignified appearance, the first impression was naturally very good, and she extended the back of her gloved hand to Surdak......
