Chapter 4: The Rebellion of the Wild Lions

The large body of the old man Shimsine squeezed into the seat directly opposite Willy, the squeak, and Bird couldn't help but worry about the wooden seats.

The old man seemed to be communicating something with Willy, and the two of them just bowed their heads and whispered, not at all like the burst of laughter from Bird's just now. A few days ago, Bird had been secretly eavesdropping with some interest, nothing more than suspicion of those people, those people needed to be classified as high-risk groups, and some strange anecdotes that some mercenaries often exchanged with each other.

As the sun passed noon, some mercenaries and hunters slowly gathered in the tavern, only to see the old man of Xi Basten and the Balk boy constantly shuttling through the crowd, it seemed that because of the presence of the political officer, the atmosphere in the tavern was much quieter than before, and there was a lot less hustle and bustle.

"Bird, tell me the story of King Dambu Tollor," someone shouted, and countless people raised their glasses and echoed towards Bird, as if trying to dilute the somewhat stern and cold atmosphere. Bird didn't know the careful thinking of these people present, but seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was indeed a little too low, countless people were looking at themselves with blank eyes, so they also raised the cup in their hands and responded with "good". When everyone saw this, they cheered.

"After the war, King Dambu Tole began to reform, and this is where the current Spring of Blood Sails began. But it wasn't all smooth sailing for King Dambu Toller, and the most famous event was the 'Lion Rebellion', which I think you have probably all heard of. "There were people in the tavern who cheered, and there were people who were lost in thought, as if they were recalling or searching for the event in their memories, and among them was Willy, the Magistrate.

"The Wild Lion is the name of the Osborne family, the great nobles in the empire, the origin of this title was given by the first king of Dambu at the beginning of the establishment of the Alzer Empire, because the Osborne family has a very conspicuous blonde hair, but it is very warlike and warlike, and the Osborne family can be regarded as the first hero of the establishment of the entire Arze Empire. When the Osborne family accepted the title of 'Wild Lion', they declared that they would always defend the rule of the Arzer Empire and the Danbu family, and under the rule of the kings of the Arzer Empire in the following generations, they continued to expand the territory of the empire."

Of course, such a great nobleman was suspected every time a new king ascended the throne, especially when the fourth king of Dambu, the suspicion and distrust of the Osborne family reached its peak by the four kings, and they directly demanded that the Osborne family send all the heirs to the imperial capital for accountability under the pretext of conquest. And the Osborne family did not hesitate, and directly sent all the heirs of the clan with a trace of family blood to the imperial capital on the second day of the order's arrival. ”

"The four kings found an interface and said that these people were disrespectful to the king, and they directly wanted to kill all the heirs of the Osborne family's bloodline, and at the time of this matter, countless archdukes, counts, etc. in the empire all gathered in the imperial capital to intercede for the Osborne family, even several other great nobles who were at odds with the Osborne family at that time, the then incumbent Archduke Osborne also came to the imperial capital, and when everyone gathered together to intercede for the Osborne family, the four kings asked the Archduke Osborne who was present, 'What should I do?'

"Archduke Osborne only replied, 'That is, disrespectful to the king, he should be killed, and no one should be left.'" Suddenly the whole chamber fell silent, and the four kings stared at Archduke Osborne for a long time and said, 'I was wrong.' ”

Since then, the Osborne family has made a name for themselves as a lion guarding the eastern part of the empire, a lion that will always be trusted by the royal family. ”

Bird paused and took a sip of wine, and took the opportunity to scan everyone present, some with tears in their eyes, some with strange expressions, some with unmoved, and some with constant sighs, and Willy, the political officer, seemed to be attracted by Bird's story, and still fell into deep thought, unable to extricate himself.

During the reign of King Dambu Tole, the eleventh king of the Alzer Empire, after the simultaneous invasion of two empires, he urgently needed time to regain his national strength, and King Dambu Tole also reformed vigorously at this time, wanting to seek a period of rapid development. ”

At this time, the Osborne family, which was originally defending the eastern part of the empire, suddenly rebelled, leading 50,000 troops hidden in the previous war to attack Bloodsail City, kill King Dambu Tole, and hinder the transformation and development of the empire. After learning the news, King Dambu Tole directly led tens of thousands of noble private soldiers in Bloodsail City to directly go out of the city to attack the elite soldiers of the 50,000 Wild Lion Regiment. ”

"Just when everyone thought that King Dambu Tole was simply going to die, King Dambu Tole actually won the battle magically, and still won more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak. Then directly killed the incumbent Grand Duke Osborne, hung the corpse outside the Blood Sail City, and declared the Osborne family of the mad lion to be a rebel, in less than three years, the emperor ** and the Wild Lion rebels had hundreds of wars, but the Osborne family is always more than one loser and win less, and gradually with the death of the heirs of the Osborne family, the heads of the Osborne family of several people were piled up outside the Bloodsail City, and the Osborne family of the mad lion became a legend and disappeared in the empire. ”

"This is a puzzling mystery in the Arzer Empire today, why the Osborne family of the Wild Lion suddenly rebelled, and rebelled in isolation without the help of any other empire. ”

Bird drank the last remaining bit of honey juice in the cup in one gulp, a little sweet and speechless, but just enough for those who were present to listen to the story to take a breath. According to Bird's understanding, the matter of the "Rebellion of the Wild Lion" can be regarded as a taboo topic in the territory of the Alzer Empire, and Bird estimates that many people present have not heard of this story.

The reason why Bird chose this story today is precisely because he saw the political officer Willy beside him, and he suddenly became interested, so he told this story. Just as Bird thought, Willie glanced at Bird with some deep meaning.

Willie couldn't see through the young bard in front of him, who called himself Bird, and he had always thought that bards were a group of soft people who lived by their mouths and faces, especially good at hooking up with some aristocratic girls who had dreams of spring.

He knew all about Bird's behavior since he entered Anxi, and he thought it was a broken bard, or maybe a thief.

Later, when he heard that Bird had bought the best two-story house in the town without any care, he decided that this person might be the little white face of the rich noblewoman, or the person who swept away the dowry of some simple aristocratic girl.
