Chapter 130: The Conversation Between the Father and the Son
Eddie looked at Aaron with questioning eyes, and although he didn't say anything, Aaron had already guessed that Eddie was asking him about the identity of the blonde boy.
"His name is Garson, and he is an alchemist, Lorraine's companion. β
That's everything Aaron knew about Gazon.
"It's a third-order alchemist. Garson was clearly unhappy with Aaron's presentation.
Aaron shrugged, "Just as he said." Actually, I don't know him very well, so let Lorraine explain the rest to you, right?"
Lei Ze couldn't help laughing: "Good boy, you guy has my third-layer skills to hurt people." β
Aaron touched his nose very innocently, then looked at Garson, who almost spewed flames in his eyes, and said in his heart: "I said I didn't mean to, do you believe it?"
Lorraine almost laughed out loud after listening to Aaron's words, but she didn't expect this guy's mouth to be so damaged.
Perhaps thinking that this was indeed not the expression that a lady should have, he immediately put away his smiling expression and explained: "He is a disciple of the royal alchemist Albin, a third-level alchemist, and the son of Count Rudolph, the prime minister of the empire. β
As soon as Lorraine's words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent. Eddie turned his head stiffly like a puppet, cold sweat on his forehead.
Although Aaron didn't know who Rudolph was, the four words of the Prime Minister of the Empire still pointed out Rudolph's status. The position of the prime minister may not be as high as that of a duke like Mitulin, but the power is far greater than theirs, and there is perhaps no one in the entire empire who has more power than him.
"Rudolph is a bad guy to get along with. Razor pondered for a moment and spoke his thoughts, "Rudolph is known as the 'Prime Minister of Killing', and his hands are covered in blood in order to secure his position. It is said that Rudolph did whatever it took to achieve his goal, and even went to a duke's territory to kill the duke.
This incident caused an uproar at the time, but in the end Rudolph was suppressed by force. In the imperial capital, except for the three princes, everyone else felt in danger. However, this kind of thing, Grandpa Delong, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, does not know about it at all, but pays more and more attention to it because Rudolph is more efficient. Now, in the Ravel Empire, Rudolph is the most powerful man. β
Aaron touched his chin, "'Killing Prime Minister'." It's not necessarily a good thing that there are such people in the empire. β
Of course, Aaron wouldn't have wasted his brain cells thinking about how to deal with Rudolph, because Tantanya was far away from the imperial capital of Pagina. Even so, when he found out about Garson's identity, he was really taken aback.
Cagathon was very pleased with Eddie's reaction. In fact, he has been hiding his identity because he is enjoying the panic that comes when others know his identity.
However, Aaron's reaction was not too satisfying. You should be scared, why did you show an indifferent expression?
"Miss Lorraine, you haven't introduced who this gentleman really is?" Garson smiled as he looked at Aaron.
Aaron raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much. Although he was not afraid of Rudolph, he did not want to have a conflict with Rudolph if it was not necessary.
"He is Razor, the son of Duke Miturin. He is also the grandson of His Majesty Delong today. β
Garson nodded, but muttered, "Who knows if Emperor Delong still remembers this grandson?"
Aaron almost burst out laughing when he heard this, but in order not to let Garson see the problem, he could only force a smile.
"This bastard, sooner or later, let him know how powerful Lao Tzu is. Razor said angrily, this was a contempt for him, "Aaron, listen, you must find a chance to clean him up for me." β
Aaron, of course, ignored him. The son of the current Chancellor of the Ravel Empire, even if he does not have a hereditary title, Rudolph's current power is unmatched, and even more so Miturin is only a duke in a remote area.
Immediately after returning to the Duke's Palace, Aaron took Lorraine and Gason to meet Miturin.
Miturin was glad to see Aaron return safely, but with Lorraine and Gasson by his side, Duke Mitulin did not say much.
Although Lorraine was invited by Mitulin herself, it is best not to let outsiders know about things with other races, especially if Lorraine is accompanied by Rudolph's son. An alchemist might be useful, but when the alchemist was Garson, he knew that the harm of these things far outweighed the good.
At this time, Aaron visibly felt that Razor fell silent. Obviously, his father was in front of him, but he couldn't even call out to his father. Thinking of this, Aaron felt that no matter how "hateful" Razor was, he was still a poor person after all.
Aaron suddenly remembered a quote from a poet in another world: "The farthest distance in the world is not that you can't hear me and I love you, but that I will never have the opportunity to talk to you." β
"Don't talk nonsense, I can hear you. Razor suddenly interrupted his thoughts, "I don't care about him, whether he is good or not, it doesn't matter much to me." β
"Good, good. He doesn't have much to do with you. Aaron said as he followed Razor and wondered how long you could hold out.
Suddenly, Razor interrupted Aaron's thoughts again: "Aaron, please take care of him, thank you." β
"You want you to say, he's my father now. Aaron was comforting Razor in his own way.
After asking about Lorraine's grandfather, Alfonso, and her father, Mitulin asked for a meal to be prepared. In fact, Lorraine was not very hungry at this time, but only symbolically ate two bites, while Garzon was hungry and devoured the food that was served. Aaron, who originally wanted to eat, sighed when he saw this situation - it is better to wait a while and find some food for himself.
After Garzon had eaten and drunk, Miturin told him why he had invited Lorraine.
"Is the knight badly injured?" asked Lorraine.
"The knight is not in danger of his life for the time being, but he has a high fever. Doctors have also tried all kinds of methods, but the effect is still not obvious. And for unknown reasons, the wounds on his body recovered slowly. It's been half a month, but his wound still hasn't healed. I also had no other way, so I had to ask your father, but I didn't expect him to let you come. Still, it's okay, you've been out of here for a few years, and once this matter is settled, let Razor take you around. Miturin said cheerfully.
"Really? That's great, I can catch up with Razor as well. With that, Lorraine looked at Aaron with complicated eyes, "Without further ado, let's go over and have a look, shall we?"
Somehow, Aaron felt a shudder. At this time, Garson's face became gloomy, and he glanced at Lorraine with mixed feelings.
"It's for the best. Randall, you go and take the two of you to see Javier's condition. Razor, come here, I'll ask you something. β
With that, Miturin stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Aaron also stood up, apologized apologetically to Lorraine and Garson, and followed Miturin into the back room.
This room is Miturin's study, and behind a desk is a large bookshelf, where Mitulin usually reads.
This time, however, Miturin was sitting on the couch by the wall.
"You're doing a good job this time, it's just too dangerous. I won't agree to anything like this in the future. You're smart enough to think of getting people back to communicate. Otherwise, I'll have to collect your body. β
"How can it be so exaggerated? It was really dangerous to arrive at St. Thi for a while, because I didn't know what was going on with the elves. But later, I figured out the ins and outs, and the situation was much better, at least I had a way to deal with it. β
"And then you used alchemy to cure Princess Eunice?" asked Mitulin.
"You know all this?" Aaron said in surprise.
"There is no wall in the world that is not ventilated. After you left St. Desi, Princess Eunice sent a letter of thanks. Miturin said.
"Haha, I just happened to know some alchemy. Aaron rubbed the back of his head.
Seeing Miturin's suspicious eyes, Aaron smiled awkwardly. It is clear that Miturin did not believe what Aaron saidβin fact, not even Aaron himself believed these words.
"Actually, in the library, I saw a book that taught alchemy. If Mitulin pressed him any further, Aaron would have to tell everything.
However, to Aaron's surprise, Miturin just nodded and said, "Although you have some talent in alchemy, you must also be aware not to be too obsessed with alchemy. You have more important things to do. β
Miturin doesn't rule out Razor from getting into magic or alchemy, but as his successor, Miturin wants him to focus more on governing Tanya.
Aaron looked at Miturin's extremely serious eyes and could only reluctantly nod.
"I've seen your negotiations with the elves, although the conditions are biased in their favor, but I think it's acceptable, especially your additional condition is very good, the wood of the 'sprouting' tree is not very good, and the place where it can be used is limited, and the condition you added in the end solves this problem very well. I'd like to ask, if you think what kind of tree you're going to choose?" asked Mitulin.
Aaron sat next to Miturin, heard Mitulin's question, and directly said the answer in his heart: "I'm going to ask for Ironwood." β
After listening to Aaron's words, Miturin fell into deep thought.
Ironwood is a relatively difficult tree to grow, and it is likely to be the thickness of a gun shaft two or three years after planting. At the same time, because ironwood grows slowly, it is very hard, and a few steps can be comparable to steel. As a result, a spear made of ironwood is a dream weapon for almost every soldier, but because ironwood only exists in the Anya Forest, and the elves control over trees, the price of weapons made of ironwood has also risen.
"That's good, but I'm afraid the elves won't agree, right?" said Mitulin, frowning.
"Don't worry about this, I've asked Queen Eunice beforehand, and she said she can provide us with a modified ironwood. The advantage of this tree is that it grows quickly, and it can grow to the thickness of a bowl in three years. However, it may not be as hard as the improved ironwood. But I suspect that even then, it's far better than ordinary trees. Aaron explained.
"That's good. Take care of these things yourself. Now that Aaron had sorted these things out, Mitulin didn't feel the need for him to follow up.
Children always have to grow up, and with these things to exercise, he can grow faster.
