When the territorial guard delivered Atwood's letter and told the messenger that he was waiting in the tavern and the name of the writer, Viscount Martinez, who was drowsy, suddenly widened his eyes and instantly moved from his seat to take the letter.

And when he saw the mark in the letter that had been separated for more than 20 years, he was stunned for a long time, and then raised his hand and gave himself a slap, so strong that the territorial guards who sent the letter felt pain.

"Duland!"

Then, the Viscount, who was determined by the pain that he was not dreaming, cried out loudly, "You go and call Duland!" Whatever he's doing wherever he is, let him get over right now! ”

"Listen to your will, Lord Viscount."

The territory guard, who didn't know what to do, hurriedly turned around and ran out of the study according to his words.

Durand is the heir to Martinez's domain, and he has been in charge of it for several years, and he has never seen his father lose his temper like this.

When he hurried to the study, his father, who was waiting at the door, was already full of anxiety, so he pulled him into the house, stuffed him with the letter, and tried his best to control his excitement and lower his voice, "Teuton! Our feudal Teutonic is back! He's in the tavern of Old Kante with rosacea, go get him back!" ”

Teutonic ?!

Durand was stunned for a moment.

He was about to turn 30 years old, and although he did not have the opportunity to participate in the war to avenge Teuton, it did not prevent him from knowing Teuton's past.

Or, in other words, no northerner would be unfamiliar with Teuton.

Therefore, he hurriedly unfolded the letter, looked at the skull imprint of the snowfield monster that he had never seen before, and couldn't believe it for a while, "Father, this.... Is it the coat of arms of the Teutonic family? ”

"That's right! The mark of our feudal lord! ”

Viscount Martinez nodded heavily, "You haven't seen it, but I'm not mistaken!" He must have been Atwood, my cousin's youngest son, and he was the only one who wasn't in the North back then! Damn the Mills royalty, they hung in the valley and their faces were smashed, making us think there were no Trotors in the world! ”

After a few hurried explanations, he urged angrily again, "Damn! What are you still rubbing! Hurry up, you take someone to the tavern of old Cante with rosacea, and bring our feudal lord back! ”

"Yes, father."

Duland, who was innocently scolded, no longer slackened, and hurriedly responded, turned around and strode out.

However, he was called back before he could get out of the study.

"Wait, Duland!"

His viscount's father's agitation eased a little at this time, and his words were very patient, "Don't bring a guard, you can be alone, just run to the tavern to drink as usual." By the way, when you see Atwood, you call him your cousin and explain to the tavern that this is your cousin, a cousin who has just returned from a long time in the North! Do you understand? Use this reason to bring him home. Remember, don't bow to him! Don't alarm anyone! Can't let anyone else know that Teutonic is back! ”

"I know how, father."

Durand nodded and turned to leave.

He did.

Not only did he change into a hunting outfit, but he also rode a horse very "accidentally" past the tavern of the rosacea old Kanter, dismounted and entered the tavern and shouted, "Damn ice and snow goddess!" I haven't hunted any rabbits today! Old Kanter, if you dare to mix your rye with water, I swear it will make your nose redder! ”

"Hahaha~~"

"The goddess of ice and snow is above! Will old canter, an unmixed rye wine, be sold for sale? ”

"Duland, if Lord Viscount hears you, he will definitely ground you in your home for a month!"

...........

Not surprisingly, the guests in the tavern all let out a good-natured heckling.

And this also made it easy for Durand to find out that there was one person who seemed out of place.

The man pressed the brim of his cloak low, didn't laugh, and chose a place near the corner of the window—an easy place to escape from the tavern.

"Huh! Cousin, you're back! ”

Therefore, Durand walked over quickly and made a surprised expression, "It's all back, why don't you go home?" If my father found out, he would be very sad. After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Atwood out, "Go, come home with me, my father has been thinking about you all these years!" ”

The attitude was natural, and he did not forget to look back and wave his hand at the old Kante who was serving the rye wine, "Lucky old Kante, your nose escaped today." ”

Then, with the laughter of the drinkers, he left the tavern.

And the reason why Atwood was very obedient and was pulled out of the tavern by him was that Durand also took the time to underestimate in his ear, "Lord Teuton, my father asked you to come home." ”

Go home..... Do I still have a home?

With mixed feelings, Atwood arrives at the Viscount's Palace.

And when he came to the study and took off his cloak and hat, Viscount Martinez hugged him, and the tears and snot were all over his beard, and he muttered with tears and laughter.

"You're a Teuton!"

"Ice and Snow Goddess, this damn bitch is up there! You're a Teuto! ”

In his seventies, he cried like a child and laughed like a fool.

Tall stature, one long face dark and dull, high eye sockets, narrow and long nose, and long, thin eyes...... Because Atwood and his father, the last Duke of Teuton, looked exactly the same.

Atwood's eyes were red like rabbits, too.

The tired heart that had been wandering in a foreign country finally found the warmth to perch in the old man's crying and laughing.

It took a lot of effort for the old man's mood to calm down.

And immediately, the respectable and lovely old man let Atwood know what it was to go home.

He took his son Durand to his knees with his head bowed and his sword in both hands, and stretched out his hand in front of Atwood, so that the oath of allegiance that had been passed down for centuries and that Viscount Martinez had said to Teutoni once again sounded in this small room.

Atwood feels that today is the best day of his life.

So he was like a chattering old woman, from the old retainer who took him to the city of Gardinanras, to his own struggle to survive in the city alone; From wandering the trade routes in the Great Wilderness of the Loki Daran Mountains, to entering the northern steppes alone to find the Centaur Khan, and running to the Northern Blood Rock, etc., it was all said at once.

Among them, the paragraph of the agreement with the centaur khan, he will tell the plan in detail.

But there is no change to Viscount Martinez's horizontal eyebrows and beard.

The old man was furious like a male bear that had only been disturbed from hibernating, "When the centaurs invade the north, the first person to rush to the battlefield is Teuton!" The first person to die on the battlefield was a Teuton, and the last person to leave the battlefield was a Teuton! This was the oath of the first Teutonic king! Atwood, you with the Teutonic surname, have you forgotten the words of your ancestors? Have you forgotten what the Teutonic surname came from?! ”

"I haven't forgotten."

In this regard, Atwood's face was solemn, "Teutons are a family born in the cold and frozen ground, and it is the fate of Teutons to fight against centaurs!" I am the last Teutonic and I will never forget the glory of the last name! ”

After finishing speaking, he showed a sad look again, "It's just, it's just that I want to avenge my family~ I'm sorry, I really have no other way." ”

This last sentence made the study fall silent.

Durand, who had rarely experienced the Centaur invasion war since he was born, secretly pulled his father's sleeve and whispered, "Father, the lord did not make peace with the centaurs, nor did he forget the Teutonic oath. He's just using the centaurs, and when the Northern Griffon Legion is gone, he'll still lead us against the centaurs....."

"That's not going to work either!"

But before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped.

Viscount Martinez, whose anger had faded a lot, did not diminish the anger in his eyes by half a point, "The hope of Teutonic growth in the hearts of northerners!" It's the courage to fight against the centaur hazels! Whatever the reason, we must not tarnish the reputation that successive Teutonic generations have defended with their lives for hundreds of years! ”

It's just that when he saw Atwood's face full of shame, his gaze softened.

Anyway, the person in front of him is the last Teuton.

And he was only eight years old when his family was ruined, and he didn't experience the influence of the family.

"Well, son, stay here first."

After a long moment, he sighed, "The rest of the matter, when I inform the old man Yuriva, let's discuss it together." ”
