Chapter 15 The first lord to return to the fiefdom and need to prove his identity
The thorn collar was originally a product of political struggle. At first, it was expected by the empire to test the bottom line of the ogre. However, the result was unexpected by the empire, and it also caused the empire to miscalculate, resulting in a huge loss of the empire's high-end forces.
Later, the existence of this territory was like a scar on the empire. Unless the new lord goes to the imperial capital to attend the investiture ceremony in accordance with the laws of the empire, in order to complete the legal form of the imperial knighthood is conferred by the emperor. He has not been recalled by the emperor at any other time.
Although Justin is nominally a lord, he is certainly a lord. Because fiefdoms are hereditary, they do not require the authorization of the empire. What's more, this territory is only a symbol of the empire's territory, and the empire never cares what it can develop. As long as the lord of the empire is there, the ruling authority of the empire is there.
On this outing, Justin not only has changed in height, but also in appearance. Therefore, Justin must gain the trust of Jia Daring, a family slave, as soon as possible in order to successfully take over the fiefdom.
Turning around, Justin said to Durala (Dubibie's youngest son) behind him: "Durala, you command your ogre team well, don't move around, this is the basic skill for you to become a commander in the future." In addition, in the future, I will be called Duan'an. ”
Although Durala was a little puzzled by Justin's sudden name change, he still agreed with a smile. Yes, every ogre has a heroic dream in his heart, and they are eager to fight.
Along the way, Justin knocked on the side to understand Durala's thoughts, so he gave him all the baby ogres to lead.
Justin expresses his father's ambition to Durala, which inspires Durala's fighting spirit.
Justin then used the example of a human commander to describe how an army with rules for walking, sitting and lying down could be invincible, which inspired Durala to become a wise general like a human commander.
In the end, Justin used Dubiby's prestige and his own name as Dubiby's brother to restrain the loose young ogres.
Justin shouted to Jia Daring within the city walls, "Daring, in order to prove my identity, I am willing to enter the castle alone, hoping to be able to meet you." ”
Jia Daring also knew that if the other party forcibly attacked, his side would be powerless to resist at all.
After thinking about it again, Jia Daring finally agreed to Justin's request to see if there were any conditions and whether the situation between the two sides could be eased. After all, no one wants to die to live.
Justin rode alone into the open castle gate and saw Justin waiting for him at the entrance to the castle.
When Justin enters the castle, the castle gate closes behind him.
After Justin dismounted, he handed the reins to the subordinate standing on the side, and when he saw that he was still a slave of the castle, he joked: Jia San, your kid is not small?
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Jia San looked at Justin with his face covered, very puzzled, and didn't know why the other party knew him.
When Jia dared to see this scene, he also felt that the situation was more complicated, so he led Justin into the living room of the castle.
Justin would casually mention the names of the flowers and trees planted in the courtyard and where Justin liked to play in the courtyard as a child.
Jia Daring looked at this person who claimed to be a friend of the lord, and really didn't know why the other party knew so much about Young Master Justin's affairs. Could it be that Justin was caught by this man, tortured and then forced to ask?
In any case, Jia Daring had to figure out the identity of this person who claimed to be a friend of the lord, especially since the other party might be related to the life and death of the lord. Because the lord has been missing for more than a month, there has been no news so far.
Thinking about the death of Lord Justin and the possibility of the entire territory being abandoned, he couldn't help but shudder.
Justin habitually sat on the throne.
Jia was bold and suspicious, and saw that Justin did not do it on purpose, but sat down naturally.
Although Jia Daring has doubts and fears in his heart, he has not lost the last glimmer of hope, and it would be good if he could learn Justin's whereabouts from this person's mouth. Therefore, Jia Daring began to consider what he said.
Before Jia Daring could speak, Justin had already opened his mouth and asked, "Daring, why didn't your little girl play in the front hall?"
Jia Daring hesitated for a moment and said, "When the subordinates were working just now, they saw a large group of men and horses marching towards the castle, and all the slaves hurried over to find shelter. We evacuated the women, children and the elderly first. ”
When Justin heard this, he smiled and said, "The first messenger should be rewarded, and it is a brave man who can detect danger and report it." ”
Jia boldly said yes, but was puzzled by Justin's master's verbal kiss.
Seeing that there was no one around, Justin said, "I'm Justin, but something unthinkable happened to make this change." In addition, I secretly ran out this time, wanting to eliminate violence and become a righteous magician in the book, but I happened to meet the ogre king four hundred miles away who went out alone. I wanted to subdue him, but I was caught by mistake. ”
Jia Daring just nodded when he listened, um, um? What did this person say, saying that he was Justin, how could it be? Lord Justin was only thirteen years old when he left the fiefdom, and he was a head lower than himself. How could this man be nearly twenty centimeters taller than himself?
Seeing Jia Daring's look of disbelief, Justin knew that he had changed too much, not only in height, but also in appearance, and it was difficult to believe it with one sentence.
"You said that you are a lord, and you dare to fight with the Ogre King, who doesn't know the reputation of the Ogre King within a thousand miles, you won't lie to me, right?"
Justin blushed and said, "Hey, you also know that my magic is self-taught from books, and I am not very proficient in using it, and I fought with the ogre king for a hundred rounds at that time, oh, it's wrong, it's thirty rounds, and in the end, due to lack of physical strength, I lost to the ogre king when my mana was exhausted." ”
Justin looked embarrassed, as if he was not defeated by the Ogre King and was really limited by his own mana and physical strength.
Fortunately, he covered his face, otherwise Justin really wouldn't have been able to make it up, but for the sake of the majesty of the lord, it must be said.
Jia Daring snickered in his heart, if you are really a little master, don't say thirty moves, even if you can pass two moves, it will already be said that it is a breakthrough, it is really a brag and not a draft.
Justin also knew that his words were a little unreliable, and said in disguise:
"After I was captured, the ogre didn't know what to eat for me, which made me miserable, and then I became like this, hey!"
With a demeanor that is difficult to say and wants to say, Justin has no choice, his face is covered, and he can't convey his psychological and spiritual state through his expressions, so he can only rely on his own acting talent, and it is also a difficult mime.
Jia Daring knew that there were all kinds of strange things happening on this continent, but this... I haven't heard of a drug that makes people a third taller.
Justin also knew that this kind of thing was difficult to prove himself, so he had to say: "I haven't seen Ling'er in the past two days, I miss her a little, bring her! ”
When Jia Daring heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the living room. He was not in a hurry to bring his daughter, but to calm down first.
Thinking about it, Jia Daring felt more and more that this matter was too appalling, and he had grown so tall for more than a month, although the other party showed that he was very familiar with the people and things in the castle, but he was awkward in his heart.
Jia Daring really couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to run over to find his daughter Jia Ling.
Jia Ling was dragged by her father to the living room, and she was not told the reason.
Seeing a masked man sitting on the main seat in the living room, Jia Ling was still a little scared.
Justin beckoned: "Ling'er, what's the matter, you don't know your brother for two days?"
Jia Ling put her little finger in her mouth, tilted her head and looked up and down, looking just like her brother, well, the voice seemed to be a bit similar.
Justin prompted, "Remember what my brother taught you last week how to condense the water element?"
Jia Ling give it a try, this is a secret between two people. There was no strangeness or doubt in his heart, and he threw himself into Justin's arms at once.
Although Justin's body and breath have changed, Jia Ling still feels an inexplicable familiarity from Justin's body.
Jia Ling said happily: "Brother Justin, I thought you hated Ling'er and didn't want to play with Ling'er, so you sneaked away?"
Justin smiled bitterly: "Who said that, my brother likes Ling'er." It's just that my brother wants to go out and do chivalrous deeds, so he sneaks out. ”
Jia Ling asked, "How did my brother become so tall?"
Justin smiled helplessly: "I don't know, not only has my height changed, but my appearance has also changed a lot, it's not that I think everyone doesn't know me, so I'm masked." ”
With a long sigh, Justin said again: "Now I have no other way to prove my identity, so I have to let you come and prove it." Which lord did you say needed to prove his identity when he returned to his own territory?"
Jia Ling buried her head in Justin's arms and said loudly: "I can prove that my brother is my brother, and whoever doesn't believe you is a villain." ”
Justin held Ling'er high and said, "Yes, we Ling'er are the smartest, so we won't doubt my brother." ”
Jia Daring was a little speechless when he listened on the sidelines. Damn, doesn't this mean that Sang scolds Huai? yes, I've become a bad guy and a stupid person.
