Chapter 50: The Choice

"Bang dang. There was another loud bang in the room.

The young man who was called the young master couldn't bear it anymore, the rise of their family was not long, but it took three or five years, and it was only after trading with Flame City that he really stood up his waist, so the honest family style still filled their minds, and the young man really couldn't stand his father's behavior of only smashing furniture, in the eyes of the young man, this was an incompetent behavior, and it was also a kind of ruined behavior.

"Crunch. With a single force, the boy pushed open the hidden door, and in the middle of it was his father's decadent face and reddened eyes.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, the first person who couldn't stand it was his father, who was a baron.

"It's time for the family to make a choice again, father. The boy said in a deep voice.

As a baron, his father looked at his son, who was fifteen or sixteen years old but more mature than the children of a noble family of the same age, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"What do you think. After a long time, the earl, who was a father, asked abruptly, he had to admit that although he was old and had experienced a lot of things, he was still not as good as his son in his mind, and the reason why the family had risen in the past two years was because his son was behind him, so he turned his head away with a weak heart just now.

"The big families want to unite to challenge the king's authority, Flame City is where they fight, and we are their pawns, but the big families who are chess players don't pay attention to us small families, they treat us as outcasts, and in the end, no matter which side wins, Flame City's profits will definitely not have our share. You must know that our family survives on these profits, and without these we will be beaten back to the prototype. The young man said a little depressed, his father was still very depressed when he was a child, so his father was not as good as him in terms of education, plus the social circle was relatively small, and he couldn't even compare with him in terms of opinions, which is why many aristocratic families can no longer float once they sink, and how can they float even if they are not at the helm. It was because of this that the boy respected his father even more.

"Yes!" the baron, as a father, frowned, he was not a fool, and he knew that once such a thing happened, there was no room for recovery, but what could they do about their small family;

"This is a war between kings and great nobles. Since the big nobles don't take us small families seriously. We might as well take refuge in the king. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about, how can we still have a foothold in the nobility circles after we have taken refuge in the king?" the baron was shocked and angry, and his eyes were wide as he stared at his son, his eyes full of disbelief.

"But. Even if we don't take refuge in the king. It won't be long before the big families are victorious. We also have no place to stand, father, and now the king is alone. The icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow!"

"Wait, let me think about it. The baron said with blank eyes and tiredness, and it was clear that his son's words still had a great impact on him.

"Father, think of the caravan that passed in front of the castle just now! When did the great families think of us when we were hungry and thirsty? ”

The baron's eyes were filled with blood at the thought of the caravan passing in front of the castle, and the rut marks that were deeply imprinted on the ground were a naked mockery of him, a slap in the face.

"Okay! What to do about it, you name it, and I'll do it. ”

"You agreed?" the boy was ecstatic.

"Yes. ”

"Father, but relying on our family will definitely not have any impact on the big family, I know that there are still many small families like us, father, we have to unite to have our own right to speak, I want to let everyone know what is the pain of the body. ”

"The day after tomorrow, it will be the day of the harvest of the manor, and in four or five days the wine from the manor will be made, and I will hold a party, and you go and tell the housekeeper to get ready, and then go and send invitations to all the people we want to invite, and I think the manor will be very lively in a few days." ”

"As you wish, Lord Baron. The young man playfully imitated the tone of the guards in those big families, and suddenly the tense atmosphere just now was relaxed.

Just when the great family was confident and the king was frowning, a small alliance began to be formed, and no one knew what role they would play in this complex state form

The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and a small camp was filled with people walking around, whispering and heroic toasts.

A huge bonfire was lit in the center of the camp, the firewood crackled, the flames rose, the golden grease dripped onto the orange flames, and the enticing aroma lingered in the camp, arousing the worms.

Mo Xuan looked at the camp with satisfaction, although it was a little chaotic, but they were very orderly with each other, and they would not cause a collapse riot because of the unexpected arrival.

The warriors in the camp who were half-unarmored and constantly persuading their companions to drink were the most elite soldiers under his command, these soldiers would not have a resounding title, they would only have the name of a very ordinary lord guard, but they were very proud, and being a lord guard certainly did not mean that they were the best of the entire flame soldiers.

A rapid scream rang out in vain through the woods, and the warriors paused for a moment to discern what the creature was crying for, and then continued their previous actions unappreciatively.

"Hey, guys, I bet ten copper coins, this time it's definitely a big guy over three hundred pounds. You could not get Jik's ears wrong for the hasty but penetrating howl that had just been heard, it must be a wandering lone beast that sounded like a bald-tailed wolf. ”

"Bet, five copper coins, I guess three hundred and fifty catties. ”

"I don't believe it, maybe it's your delusion, it's definitely not more than two hundred catties. ”

"What do you say, lord?" a warrior asked at Mo Xuan, who was in a daze.

"What did you just say?" Mo Xuan asked rhetorically.

The warrior recounted what had just happened, and after listening to the warrior's account, Mo Xuan's heart moved, and his already very powerful spiritual power probed in the direction pointed by the warrior, as if a radar scanned all the scenery, and Mo Xuan soon saw a sturdy archer carrying a wolf with a tail on his shoulder that looked a little dehaired.

The wolf was hit by an arrow in the head, which entered through the wolf's eye socket, and from the other side came out the clump of blood still dripping. The size of the wolf looked very large, and although the archer's footsteps were steady and not difficult at all, Mo Xuan could still tell that the weight of this wolf was definitely between three hundred and four hundred catties.

In this kind of bet, Mo Xuan's spiritual power was like a cheat, but Mo Xuan still didn't answer these fighters according to the information fed back by his spiritual power: "Twenty copper plates, I guess, two hundred and eighty catties." ”

This answer was of course wrong, but the warriors who won were very happy, and twenty copper plates were not too much in the flames, and a little extravagance was not enough for a day's meal, and the warriors were glad that they were able to win.

Mo Xuan was equally happy, although he lost, the distance between him and the fighters was also shortened.

These soldiers are like the guards around the ancient Chinese generals, who are dedicated to him on the battlefield to block guns, with these lovely warriors, no matter how much Mo Xuan pays, he will not feel a loss, after all, these soldiers can pay for him with that precious life.

Mo Xuan was elated to talk to these warriors outside, and he had already descended into the empty courtyard on the ground, and Cynthia was just as happy when she looked at Mo Xuan, except for the publicity outside, whether it was actually or spiritually, she was already Mo Xuan's person.

Cynthia didn't know what to say, as a doppelganger of a goddess, she possessed all the knowledge of this goddess, and one day she would have such a thing as love like an ordinary human woman.

But Cynthia turned her head to look at the dozen or so elves sitting there who were still chattering with the anticipation of going home, and laughed again. Whatever he wants, just be happy now. (To be continued......)
