Chapter 39: Bad News
Perhaps because of the bad year, in the border city where the news is closed, Duck actually received two bad news in one day.
The first bad news ruined his good mood in the morning.
Duck, who had just woken up and was eating breakfast, received a notice from the mayor.
The envoy from Cantermarte has arrived!
Duck put down the knife in his hand and sighed, it's finally here!
He got up and changed into a dress, and immediately rushed to the administrative office of Maidett.
This time the envoy is not comparable to the likes of Palamir.
The first time he made contact, Duck knew that the other party was an old Jianghu.
The envoy made no mention of the hunting team's negligence or Palamir's injuries.
Just blindly affirming Madet's long-term contribution to the territory and loyalty to the lord.
The lord is very pleased, and is considering raising the title of old mayor.
As soon as these words came out, our mayor of De Rosso was about to laugh badly!
He never dreamed that ruling a poor country like Meadert would be given the opportunity to be promoted to a knighthood in his lifetime.
When the conversation ends here, everyone will be happy.
However, the envoy waited for Mayor Droso to finish his words of thanks, and then his words changed sharply, and then he entered the main topic of the trip.
"Next month is the Lord's Diamond Birthday Celebration, and if our mayor can say something, I think Oladin will be very happy!"
De Roso: "Of course, of course it should be expressed!" I'm going to prepare, no, no, I've been ready for a long time, I don't know if it's appropriate, you're a celebrity on the lord's side, and I'd like to ask Lord Phile to help guide you! ”
"I don't dare, I'm just a subordinate next to the lord, I'm not very good at gifts or anything, I just know a little about the master's preferences!"
While the two were greeting, the servant had already carried two boxes, one large and one small, into the room, as the mayor had intended.
"Lord Phile is too modest, compared to you, we are just a group of vulgar hillbillies, we love to collect some strange things from the Warcraft Forest on weekdays, and they are not a great treasure, and please help me palm my eyes!"
"I don't dare to judge the mayor's baby! Let's enjoy it together! ”
"Hehe, then Lord Laufiler will take two steps forward."
Duck stood aside, silently watching the two of them comment on the contents of the large box, and pick out the less valuable ones and put them in the empty box of another trumpet.
He was no stranger to such a scene.
It's not that he has no interest in treasures, it's that he has no interest in politics!
He is adept at connecting feelings with sword and blood, rather than with words and money.
After a while, the treasure in the big box has been "admired".
De Rosso gently closed the two boxes and said flatteringly: "Thank you Lord Feller for your guidance, although the contents of this small box are of no value, they are also a specialty of our Maidette Town, I want to give it to Lord Feller as a souvenir, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
The envoy nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Then thank you to Lord De Rosso!" ”
The mayor here hurriedly responded: "No thanks, no thanks!" If I want to thank you, I would also like to thank Lord Feller for his guidance! ”
After the servants carried the box down, Feller glanced at Duck standing next to him, and asked De Roso, "Presumably, this is our guardian knight, right?" ”
Without waiting for De Rosso to answer, Duck had already taken a step forward, made a knightly salute to Phil, and replied aloud, "Guardian knight Duck. Sisfeld salutes the lord and salutes the lord's emissary! ”
Dark's move was a bit abrupt, but it wasn't a surprise.
Feller smiled undiminishedly, got up and saluted back, and said, "Knight Duck has worked hard, even I, as far away as Cantermate, have heard of Lord Duck's deeds. ”
Well, it's finally here!
Duck said with a serious face: "Shame! It's not necessarily a good thing to reach the ears of the messenger, is it?! ”
Feller: "Where, where, your achievements over the years, even Lord Kesrot has praised many times!" ”
Dark: "Dark, the Guardian Knight of Madter, would like to thank Lord Sir Kesrot for his compliment!" ”
Feller waved at Dark, "Our knight is too nervous! Don't be so formal, come, come, sit down and say! ”
Standing still, Duck continued: "Thank you, Lord Emissary, for your kindness, no need, knights are used to standing and talking!" ”
Seeing no change in mood, Phila smiled and said, "I know what our knight-sama is worried about. Before coming to Madet, Lord Kesrot specially explained that in the face of powerful magical beasts, some casualties are inevitable, please don't blame yourself! ”
Dark's eyes flashed, which was a bit unexpected for him!
Feller continued, "It's okay, the Knights' disposition has been rejected by Lord Kesrot, please rest assured, Lord Dack!" However, Master Kesrot let me remind you by the way that being at the border, some mistakes are understandable, and a few gold penalties are fine! However, the first mistake is a mistake, and the second mistake is not a mistake! ”
Duck knows that this is a piece of advice and a warning to himself!
Duck raised his sword again, and he hurriedly thanked Kesrot and expressed his allegiance to the lord and his determination to keep the place of Meadt safe.
After the declaration of loyalty, the matter was over, and Duck took his leave of the two and turned to leave the administrative office.
As Duck left the room, he heard Feller continue to ask De Roso, "Lord Kessrot heard that the neighborhood of Meadt has not been peaceful lately, right?!" ”
De Rosso: "No! Absolutely nothing! I don't know where you heard about it? ”
Feller: "......"
De Rosso: "......."
Because the door was closed, Duck didn't hear the conversation clearly, and he wasn't in the mood to find out what the two were talking about.
The things he cared about, now have come to fruition.
It's bad news, but it's a good result.
Well, that's acceptable!
However, in the end, it's a matter of money, where to get some money! Bother!!!
......
Just when Duck was struggling to make money, the second piece of bad news followed.
When Duck received Marlon's letter, he immediately sat up in shock.
Madter's tour group is attacked by a monster during the journey.
Luna is injured!!
Fuck your goblins, I'm not going to be with the goblins from today!
I knew that I would send Luna to the Central Academy of the Kingdom myself.
Fortunately, his daughter was not seriously injured, otherwise if something happened, he would not forgive himself.
Duck blamed himself incessantly, almost to the point of fidgeting, and he really wanted to go immediately to catch up with the tour group and see where his precious daughter was injured!
In the end, though, reason triumphed over emotion.
He is inseparable from here, and even if he sets off now, he will not be able to catch up with the tour group without stopping.
Calculate the time, they should be almost in the royal capital!
