Chapter 22: Olardin
Legend has it that Oladin, the lord of County Hollum, is old and confused.
This former hero, now the lord of the Third Prince, has long lost the courage of his youth.
The people under him are not very dedicated to their work.
The entire territory has reached the point where it is supported by the old ones.
Recently, there have even been rumors in the royal city that Oladin will abdicate and make way for Xian.
This rumor has caused panic among the people of Hollumshire, but at the slightest hint of trouble, Cantermat is full of storms.
In the council chamber of the Lord's Palace, Old Oladin's face was extremely ugly.
For the fourth time, Palamir was crying in front of him about his grievances in the town of Madter.
The first two times were perfunctory by him, and the third time he scolded this guy.
Anyone with a bit of a brain can understand what he means.
This unrepentant guy not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but also didn't know what means he used, so he actually moved the old father and put forward his personal "revenge plan" in the form of a formal agenda at the government council.
It's still the rhetoric of the past, and it's still as unmeasured and indistinct as ever.
Without waiting for Palamir to finish speaking, the old lord, who didn't want to see the farce again, had a cold face and asked Palamir to carry the crying Palamir out.
After the idle left, the atmosphere of the scene became even more weird.
The people in the chamber were still whispering.
Old. Hurt banged on the table, indicting a group of untouchables in fiery terms.
"This is a provocation to the majesty of the nobles of the kingdom!"
"This is a vicious injury incident, this is definitely a crime!"
"The first offender must be severely punished!"
"Must ......"
The old lord couldn't bear it anymore!
"Enough is enough!!"
Old Oladin simply hated these so-called relatives.
Worse than useless!
What a bunch of stupid people who don't know how to live or die.
The entire hall was so quiet that only the old lord's angry roar still echoed.
Old Oladin sat on his high seat and looked around the room.
Seeing that no one dared to make noise anymore, he turned pale at the old man. "I don't need to report a hunt failure to me, it's just the usual thing for the government office," Huert said. ”
"The dereliction of duty of the guardian knights shall be judged and reprimanded by the Knights' Roundtable."
"If you hurt the children of the nobles, I'll let Keithrot handle it, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Obviously, Oladin's solution was far from meeting the requirements of the Hurt father and son, he stood up at once, and wanted to say something, when he saw the murderous gaze of the old lord, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
is worthy of being a former veteran powerhouse, although his appearance is old, his eyes can still kill.
"Do you want to teach me how to do things?"
Goo!
Old. Huert swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"No, don't dare ......"
Olardin: "Then sit down for me!" ”
Old. Like a deflated ball, Hurt slumped into his chair.
Olardin's gaze was deep and powerful, as if he could see directly through everyone present.
"Are there any of you who want to teach me how to do things?!"
There is an old proverb in Horham: A dragon is always a dragon, even when he is old!
The angry old lord was imposing.
Everyone bowed their heads!
The hall is as quiet as a cicada, whoever dares to come out at this time will wait to be repaired!
At this time, Keith Rot. Dubert. Olardin, the lord's eldest prince, said in silence: "No." ”
Everyone hurriedly seconded the proposal!
No, no!!
"Humph! Then disperse! ”
The old lord snorted coldly and directly waved his hand to dissolve the meeting.
When the crowd had dispersed, Kesrot walked over to old Oladin and helped his father up.
The two walked out of the chamber one after the other.
The old lord who was walking in front instructed Kesrot behind him, "Send Palamir to the Holy Court, and let Old Goth do him a favor!" ”
Keith Roth said with a blank face, "Why do you care about him?" ”
The old man sighed, "After all, his surname is Olardin. ”
Keith Roth nodded silently.
After speaking, the old Oladin continued as if talking to himself: "Recently, many people don't take this surname seriously, and I also want to see if the three words Oladin are still ignored in the church. ”
"Then the matter of Madet, you see ......"
Old Oladin waved his hand.
"Take care of it yourself, for us, there are times when the guardian knights are often more reliable than the so-called nobles."
Kesrot was much smarter than Palamir, and he understood the meaning of the old lord's words at once.
"Got it!"
Old Oladin seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped, and whispered: "Be careful when you go out!" ”
Keisroth was still expressionless, but his eyes lit up, and the light flashed away, maybe it was just the reflection of the wall lamp in the aisle!
......
The Krom dynasty admired the strong.
According to the custom of the human kingdom of Igdrasil.
Except for the Holy Courts under the jurisdiction of the Church.
The lords of the four major territories of Dogam, Horham, Campham, and Sturm are all legendary powerhouses canonized by the kingdom.
These powerful men were powerful and steadfast, and were deeply trusted by the king.
However, the position of lord is not a hereditary title.
If there is no one among the heirs of the current lord's family who can be approved by the king.
Then, it is entirely possible for the kingdom to choose another strong one to take over the entire territory.
At this time, there were only two options left for the old lord's family.
Or go back to Wangcheng to retire.
Either leave the human kingdom and lead the Pioneer Knights to crusade against the monsters, open up territory for humanity, and maybe establish a new territory and become a new lord.
The Oladin have been administering Holham County for forty years.
Forty years, four generations.
The first generation of Oladin reigned for seventeen years.
Today, the elder Oladin is the second generation, and he has been sitting in this position for twenty-three years.
It's not that he covets the position of lord, but that in the third generation of the Oladin clan, he still hasn't been able to cultivate a successor who can be qualified for the lord's position.
This is the sorrow of an old family, and the curse of the Oladin family.
Two of the family's most promising rising stars have had an accident on their rise.
Especially after the second son of the old lord was attacked and killed, the old man suddenly aged ten years old.
The mastermind of this sneak attack has not been identified so far.
Even if the Oladin family used all their connections and power to investigate all the clues that could be investigated, they could not find useful information.
The bounty of one million gold coins had been hanging in the town hall for five years, and no one dared to touch it.
One million gold coins can buy 10,000 cows in Holham County, 2,000 beautiful maids, a year's worth of military expenses for a thousand-man army, and even a small town.
Even under such a heavy reward, no one can provide any clues about who is behind it.
You can imagine the energy of the mastermind behind this incident!
As a result, some conspiracy theorists have speculated that perhaps the Assassins came from Rolanddal, or perhaps even from the Dome of the Golden Dome in Rolandal!!
These may just be speculations.
However, it is precisely because of such speculation that the old Oladin has chosen to be forbearant and silent for so many years.
This event became the beginning of the decline of Catmart City!
