Kalian sat upright, his waist upright, his hands gently resting on the table in front of him, and the whole person revealed a unique rigor and ability. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He had been waiting for more than half an hour, and would probably continue to wait, but Callian's face did not show the slightest impatience, but looked at the layout of the house and the decorations on the walls with interest.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Kalian. Belch...... Recently, there have been a lot of things in the territory, so my father ......."

Sitting next to Kalian was a young man with light blue hair, and unlike the calm bishop, the long wait and snubbing had already made the young man a little restless.

"It's nothing, Mr. Riffin, and sometimes it's a pleasure to wait. Especially in the living room with such a strong historical atmosphere, it is impossible to feel the passage of time at all. ”

Kalian smiled at Riffin, just the right amount of etiquette that made him look more like a personable scholar. Even Riffin, who was apprehensive in his heart, gradually calmed down his anxious mood under the comfort of his smile.

Riffin had no way not to be anxious, this bishop of Kalian was invited by him on his own initiative, and he originally thought that he would be appreciated by his father, but he did not expect to be snubbed by his father.

Busy with business?

Heh, when is there no official business?

Could it be that this amount of official business has already kept Baron Ryan Reese busy to the point that he can't even see his own son first?

Slimes wouldn't believe such an excuse either!

"I wonder if Mr. Riffin can help me tell the story behind these ornaments, and let me, as a visitor, feel the glory of the Talyan family?"

The ornaments in the aristocratic living room are not placed randomly, and behind any one of them is related to the experience of one of the ancestors of the family, and its commemorative significance is far greater than the value of the thing itself.

All the families whose walls are covered with antiques and oil paintings are definitely just new aristocrats, lacking the minimum accumulation of heritage.

If it were usual, Riffin would definitely be interested in giving a detailed explanation to the person asking. After all, understanding and properly showing one's own heritage is a must for the aristocracy.

However, Riffin has no interest in any of these now.

His mind is a complete mess, how can he still have the heart to recall the stories behind these ornaments, and being able to sit here to ensure that it is not rude is already a success of family education.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Kalian, but I'll miss you for a moment. I think you know more about the deeds of our ancestors from my father than I have from me. I'll go see how my father's official business is going, and arrange a meeting between you two as soon as possible. ”

Unable to endure the inner torment, Rifin rose up to confess, eager to learn about his father's attitude. You must know that his father is not only his child, but he is naturally not the only one who is eyeing the baronial title.

I thought that I could get extra points in front of my father with the help of this Mr. Bishop's visit, but looking at the current form, I was self-defeating.

"Then there's work. ”

Kalian was still polite, not at all angry at Riffin's faux pas.

Riffin, who had received permission from the guest, could not stay any longer, and he hurried out of the waiting room and walked towards his father's study.

"Alas," Riffin's performance made Kalian sigh helplessly in his heart: "This young master Riffin can't be counted on, and the form is not optimistic." ”

While Riffin and Callian were still waiting in the living room, a secret conversation was going on in Baron Ryanrees' study......

"Isn't it a bit bad to leave the guests there like this, my lord?" the staff cautiously reminded as they looked at the bored Baron Laneress.

At this time, the baron was not conducting official business, as he claimed to be doing to the public, but half-leaned back in his high-backed chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"You don't understand, Az. ”

The baron sat upright, and the habit he had developed in the military allowed him to never talk to people casually, even if they were just one of his staff.

"It's a subordinate who has overstepped. ”

The staff bent down and stepped aside.

"Hehe, it's okay, I wish you had asked. No one is born knowing everything, you are still young, and lack of experience is inevitable. I believe that as long as you have a lot of experience, you will definitely be the best staff member. ”

Even though he said this, Baron Ryan Reese was still quite bitter in his heart. If his staff member was still alive, why did he bother to train Azi.

As a retainer of House Talyan, Az's loyalty is unquestionable, and his brains are quite good. His only weakness is his lack of experience, he has studied abroad for many years, and his understanding of the frozen coast is too little, but such a thing is urgent, and he can only rely on his own accumulation.

"Then the subordinates are too talkative, Young Master Riffin invited a bishop of the Dawn Temple, this should be a good thing, why do you want to ...... the meaning of the adult"

"Yes, a bishop of the Temple of Dawn came to visit in person, no matter where you are, it is a very face-saving thing, but on the frozen shore, this is a fatal thing!"

"Ah, this ......"

"Weird?"

"It's because ...... Goddess of Winter?"

"Sort of. ”

"The subordinates don't quite understand. ”

"The rights of the temple are binding on the rights of the liege, so no lord will agree to build a temple on his domain unless it is necessary or the lord himself worships a god. ”

"Alas," said Baron Laneres, shaking his head, "but it is obviously not possible to accept a single temple, and the gods can not care about the nobles holding the right to rule, but it is absolutely impossible to allow the nobles to cut off the means of spreading their faith. Not to mention the demons and evil gods on the sidelines. ”

Therefore, the lord had to choose some temple forces close to him, and at the same time resist those temple forces that were hostile to him, so as to protect his rights. As a result, the nobility and the temple formed the current relationship of mutual constraints. ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Couldn't it be better, isn't the frozen coast an example?"

"This ...... But the goddess of winter has fallen, huh?"

"It is precisely because the goddess has fallen, so after a long period of accumulation, the power of the temple and the power of the nobility have completely become one. None of the other gods, under each other's constraints, would venture to reach out to the frozen shores unless they were invited by a lord. ”

"That's what the Temple of Dawn is going to do?"

"Yes, they want to sprinkle the glory of the Lord of Dawn on the frozen shores. ”

"But this is in our favor, the Tallian family is the first, and possibly the only aristocratic power to accept the Temple of Dawn, and we can definitely gain a lot from this matter!" said the staff with an excited expression, as if they had seen the rise of the Tallian family on the frozen coast.

"You're wrong, Az. Baron Ryan Reese said bitterly, "You are easy to bully other families?"

"The frozen coast, where the goddess kingdom fell, is in some ways no less than other territories blessed by the temple, not to mention the help of alchemy. ”

"It is better to believe in a fallen god than to believe in other gods, at least no bishop or paladin will come forward to dictate to the lord. ”

"This opening can't be opened, at least not by our Talian family, otherwise, the centuries-old inheritance will disappear in the blink of an eye. ”

"Where is Master Kriffin?"

"If he doesn't understand this, then he doesn't need to go out with the surname 'Talian'!"
