Chapter 58: The Earl's Concern

"Good afternoon, Uncle Hall, I haven't seen you for half a year, you're still so energetic."

"It's Glerint, sit down."

Rarely, Earl Hall was not as stern as he had been, but smiled with relief, and he turned his slightly fat body away from his official duties, along with his chair, and turned his slightly fat body to the side of Gleilynt. The death of Lorenz Mariano a few years ago, although it was an assassination of an extraordinary person from an enemy country, also had some political elements, and Lorenz was his supporter, so he had some shame towards Glelint.

Glerint sat down as he was told, and Count Hall had already prepared the servant for tea in advance.

Somewhat to Glerint's surprise, the meeting place chosen by Earl Hall was not a meeting room or a chat room, but his study, where he usually conducted business at home.

This is certainly not without sayings.

Before, although Earl Hall also cared for himself, it was only to support and promote the younger generation, but now that Glerint is in the limelight in this battle, he has the opportunity to enter the center of power in the kingdom, at that time, in addition to personal friendships with each other, they may also become political allies.

But to be honest, it was not in line with Glerint's intention to be mixed into the political whirlpool of the giant ship of the Kingdom of Rune, he was just here to visit his elders and friends this time.

Therefore, he thought about it for a while, and put on a similar posture that he did not dare to be casual, a little restrained, but more casual, and not very serious:

"Uncle Hall, I'm going back to Beckland this time to bring you and Auntie, as well as Hibbert and Audrey, some small gifts, hehe...... Uh, by the way, why didn't you see them? Isn't it a day off? ”

Of course he couldn't see it, the castle was so big, and he didn't say he was going to visit them before he came...... When Glerint said this, he was just deliberately pulling the conversation to the mundane.

Earl Hall narrowed his eyebrows, unsure if Glerint didn't understand what he meant, or if he didn't want to join his political faction...... He is more inclined to the latter, although Glerint is not too old, but in just over half a year, he can establish such great achievements in the Southern Continent, to say that he is still a political novice, it seems unlikely?

"Also, young people, they are more energetic, and it is normal to not be very optimistic about the political leanings of the Conservative Party."

He thought so, but on the surface he was silent, "hehe" smiled, and quipped:

"Why, you don't want to talk to an old man like me?"

Gleilynt was slightly embarrassed, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw him wave his hand, and said to himself:

"Just kidding...... Well, your aunt went to Madame Masin's house, where she has a philosophy salon today. ”

Madame Massin was the wife of the Marquess of Rosent, who was one of the pillars of the Conservative Party.

Then, without waiting for Gleilynt to say anything, he sighed to himself:

"Hibbert's words, now serving as the secretary of the cabinet affairs, and also taking charge of part of the affairs of the 'Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee', there is no time to rest on his days off!"

"That's a testament to Hibbert's talent."

Glerint cooperated with a word of praise with interest, but in his selfish heart he felt that Alfred was much more skilled than his brother, and his talent, strategy, and courage were all first-class, and he now had the rank of "colonel" - this is terrible, you know, he is not like Gleilint has the identity of a viscount, and he swore to the seal, and he has the basis of "major" when he enters, he is completely working hard from the bottom little by little, and in the military, far away in the southern continent, the support that Earl Hall can give him is extremely limited.

It's a pity that this rotten aristocratic succession system ...... Unconsciously, Glerint's eyes deepened.

Earl Hall nodded, not knowing whether he agreed with Glerint's praise or with the talent of his eldest son, he wiped the well-groomed mustache on his right, and spoke again:

"Audrey's words, go to Jane, they have recently walked into the mysterious world like you...... You've been in MI9 for so long, and you've certainly experienced a lot of mysteries, so you know the dangers in it, so remember to help me tell her more. ”

In the early years, Glerinte, Audrey, Conse, Murray, Jane, Christine, all of whom aspired to the extraordinary world, were reluctant to join MI9, the military, or the Church, and were unwilling to spend a lot of time on missions.

Was it Jane?

…… There's something here, and though Gleilynt doesn't know the details, he's expected it.

Hugh Dilcha is arrested in prison for using too much force in the arbitration, so Folles wants to contact Audrey and rescue Hugh with her connections. But Glerint, who is the key character in the "original book", went to the Southern Continent, so needless to say, Furs will definitely choose to contact Audrey's other friends.

And Constance joined MI9 earlier than Glerint, and he didn't have much contact with Audrey...... So Glerint had long guessed that Fols Wall would find Murray, Jane, or Christine.

"Okay, Uncle Hall, that's totally fine."

Glerint grinned, revealing eight teeth...... Earl Hall doesn't seem to know that it was Gleilynt who introduced Audrey to the mysterious world, but he doesn't know if he really doesn't know, or if he doesn't care.

Count Hall bowed slightly, not dwelling on this.

For him, whether Audrey becomes an extraordinary person is not something too much to care about, as long as she does not go too deep...... As long as you are careful, the probability of the low-level extraordinary person getting out of control is actually very low, and the environment in which Audrey is located is destined to prevent her from being exposed to any mysterious events that are too dangerous. On the other hand, as a low-order extraordinary, Audrey did little to help his political career...... It's not good, and as long as Audrey is careful, there is almost no harm, so of course he won't worry too much about it.

Glerint had a very thorough understanding of his thoughts.

Later, Glerint chatted with him from the perspective of a bystander about Alfred's recent situation. Speaking of the achievements of the second son, Earl Hall thought about it, but still couldn't help but lead the topic to the political aspect:

“…… He is nothing, or Glelint, you are more powerful, just in this battle, you have steadily obtained the rank of general...... However, the matter of your promotion to the knighthood may still be up for debate! ”

He seemed to say meaningfully:

"You know, it's much more difficult to get a title in the kingdom than a military rank...... Indeed, with your merits this time, the title of Earl is actually enough, but some people's opinion is that you are still so young after all, and it is not suitable for you to be promoted to Earl...... Their proposition is to simply exaggerate the military rank, directly give you a three-level promotion, and then compensate you a large amount of real estate and fiefdom, and the title will not be moved for the time being. ”

"What do you think, Glerint?"

Glerint raised an eyebrow.

What do I think? I thought with the soles of my feet!

To put it bluntly, the killing of Efrav on the surface seems to have contributed the most and contributed the most, but in fact, the most important thing is that the "Twilight Hermit Society" misled Evraf's judgment...... And what they want to do is what the Son of God meant, with my current reality, no matter what I think, it doesn't make any sense at all.

If he wanted to be given the status of an earl, not to mention that the "Dusk Hermits" were the best at guiding people's minds and changing their minds, and the opposition of the House of Lords was of little value, even George III had to help him. If he only wants to improve his rank, and doesn't want to be knighted, then it will be superfluous for him to jump and be happy.

The current politics of the Kingdom of Rune are largely just pawns and tools in the hands of others, and if it weren't for the constraints from the church, he and George III could definitely do whatever they wanted.

But you can't say that to Earl Hall, on the surface I still have to fight for it, otherwise it will be unreasonable, and the unreasonable story will be erased by the "writer".

Glerint pondered for a moment, and then said without answering a rhetorical question:

"Uncle Hall, what do the Tory Marquess of Locente and the others mean?"

It's done! Earl Hall was waiting for his words!

Such a new young general, a politician who may immediately be made an earl, naturally has a close enough relationship with himself, the backbone of the Conservative Party...... His future, just using the word "ambitious", is far from enough to describe, so the Conservative Party's strength and desire for him are quite large, he smiled slightly:

"They don't know much about you, it depends on your attitude in this regard, well, now there is still half a month before the reward, I am going to hold a banquet and invite them here, what do you think?"

This kind of thing, if Gleilynt himself came forward to summon it, the traces would be too obvious...... If he is seized by opponents and uses this to "join him", it will definitely be a big trouble with an inexplicable explanation, and his current status is not enough to invite those bigwigs.

"Okay, Uncle Hall, I trust your arrangement."

Glerint smiled kindly, and the two of them had a good conversation for a while.

After discussing the "business", Earl Hall had the time to talk to him about some private matters, and he asked in a playful and meaningful manner:

"By the way, I heard that you also brought back a very beautiful 'retinue' from the Southern Continent?"

He emphasized the word "retinue".

Glerint's heart sank, His Excellency the Earl is very well-informed, which officer passed it on, but I don't know if he defected to Earl Hall or to the conservatives? You know, it's nothing for politicians to train their children to enter the army, but the nature of privately wooing officers is different!

His body stiffened, and he pretended to smile bitterly:

"Yes, there is such a thing, but why do you have to emphasize her appearance, uncle...... Are you, like those people, who do not believe in my character? ”

Glerint was so anti-general, Earl Hall choked up, and didn't know how to speak for a while, he originally wanted to remind Glerint and let him restrain a little, but when he asked like this, how could he speak well?

But after all, he is a politician who is as quick as a fox, with extraordinary skills, and a few thoughts flashed, and he sighed with a bit of "hatred of iron does not make steel":

"You, you...... Hey, forget it, I don't know what's going on in detail, anyway, you're so old now, think about everything! ”

Not answering head-on, just "regular" beating and education, this is how Earl Hall copes.

But that's not all, he then said with a deep meaning:

"By the way, Audrey also knew about it a few days ago, hehe, she doesn't believe that you are the kind of person who is abusive, irresponsible, and reckless when you have achievements! Well, Hibbert and I thought the same thing, but ...... I think you can explain it to them if you have the chance, don't let your friends down, and besides, you young people should also communicate more. ”

Glerint's heart jumped!

What does that mean?

The point of Earl Hall's words is clearly not to Hibert, but to Audrey...... But our gentleman's friend is innocent, so there's no need to explain it to her, right? To put it mildly, even if I'm really a foster lover, it has nothing to do with her...... When did friends still care about other people's private lives?

Not understanding what Count Hall meant, Glerint thought about it, subconsciously picked up the delicate bone spur teacup, took a shallow sip, and then snorted perfunctorily:

"Well, well, you're right!"

"Huh? Uncle Hall, this tea ...... your house It's Fenerport Holy Mountain Black Tea, right? How does it feel more fragrant than mine? ”

Earl Hall: "......"

To put it bluntly, his thoughts are not very complicated, and he doesn't mean to match Lellint and his daughter, he just hopes to stabilize Gleilint and make him more restrained in terms of women, which is good for Glelint's own political future and his future marriage.

After all, Audrey and Gleilynt were very close before, and now he is good enough and has great potential, and the two may not be able to come together in the future. In this regard, although Earl Hall is not happy to see it, he has no resistance to it, at least for him, Glerint is a person who knows the bottom of his life compared to other princes, dukes, and earl heirs.

Therefore, Earl Hall, as Gleilint's elder and Audrey's father, should be reminded of him from any point of view.

After a moment, Glerint was still indifferent to Count Hall's gaze, which made him a little frustrated, and could only follow Glerint's words:

"If you like, I can ask the servant to pack you a few cans."

Glerint grinned:

"Uncle, you are so polite, then I will thank you in advance!"

After this section, the two chatted very harmoniously about the changes in the situation in Beckland and the customs of the Southern Continent, and when they talked about these things, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, and the two chatted for more than two hours, until a crisp voice like a yellow bird came from the door, full of surprise:

"Glerint, you're really back to Beckland!"

It's Audrey.

Although she has been a "mind reader" for a long time, and she is very insightful of many people's thoughts, but subconsciously, she still regards Gleilint as a peer like herself, and she doesn't think that he will talk to her father about anything particularly important, so she heard the servant say that Gleilint is coming, and she broke in at once.
