Chapter 60, Return 6

Yuriwa Og was also one of the former Teutonic ministers.

With a hereditary viscountship, he and Viscount Martinez and the traitor Hughes were once the three cornerstones of Teutonic rule over the northern lands.

Of these, the Viscounty of Martinez was the richest and the most well-armed.

The Hughes family is close to the Middle-earth Plain and has always been the hub of grain and straw transportation from Middle-earth to the north.

And Viscount Augur has the toughest warriors in the north!

The reason is that the territory is poor.

Located at the junction of the northwest and northeast, this Viscount of Oger is full of mountains and Gobi and is extremely dry, most of it is no man's land, and there is very little arable land, not to mention wild beasts.

Therefore, the people of the territory have had to earn a living by the sword in their hands for generations.

Both men and women can come of age to either fight against centaurs, mercenaries or caravan guards.

This situation also created the fierce folk customs of the Ogur territory, and gave birth to warriors with superior military strength. For example, the Teutonic Knights, who have always been regarded as the backbone of the defense against centaurs, have 300 members of the 800-strong formation from this territory.

That's why Viscount Martinez consulted with Yuriva Augur.

In the anthem of the fight against centaurs sung by the people of the north, the Augur is second only to the Teutonic family!

The members of the Ogur family who died in the war against the centaurs were no less than the Teutonic family!

Especially in those days, the family raised the banner of revenge for the feudal lord Teuton, only one day later than Viscount Martinez - that was a day later because the Ogur domain was far away, and the news was received a day later.

Therefore, if he approves of what Atwood has done, it means that the other northern families will not have any objections, and Viscount Martinez will not say anything more.

But if he objected, Atwood's agreement with the Centaur Khan could be nullified.

Otherwise, even if he had a Teutonic surname, he would not have been recognized by the northerners.

Yuriva is also one of the few people who is remembered by Atwood.

When he was very young, because his sister was promised by his father to Yuriva's younger brother, he also had the opportunity to blend in with the send-off procession and stay in the Og territory for more than a month.

At that time, Yuriva had not yet inherited the title, but he was already the leader of the clan warriors against the centaurs.

Atwood had the impression that he was a very old-fashioned and boring man, as if he had no joy in life other than eating, sleeping, and fighting.

Therefore, Atwood has enough reason to believe that he will not recognize his painstaking efforts to have an agreement with the Centaur Khan.

He even felt that he had betrayed the glory of Teuton!

It's a disgrace to the Teutons!

However, what he didn't think about was that when Yuriva was invited to the Viscount of Martinez and listened to his own story, his first reaction was not anger or sadness for the glory of Teuton, but fell into a long silence.

"Old man, don't get bored!"

Viscount Martinez, who was waiting impatiently, urged, "If you have any opinions, come out." I didn't invite you here to see your stinky face. ”

Yuriva, known as the old man, is not old.

He was not yet fifty years old, but he had gray hair and a wrinkled face many years ago.

The voice was as vicissitudes as an old man, "The people of my family and territory have always relied on the sword in their hands to make a living. When there was still Teutonia in the north, our life was not bad, but there was no Teutomy in the north, and we lived a difficult life. So, I'm looking forward to the return of the Teutonic to the north again. ”

Saying this, he looked directly into Atwood's eyes, "Atwood, you are the last Teuton." Now that you're back, I'll be loyal to my old vows, but I can't accept that you have a pact with the Centaur Scrap! Because it is impossible for the Teutonic heroes to accept it! ”

Really......

Atwood, who realized something, couldn't help but sigh silently.

But just as he was thinking about something, Yuriva suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "Are you married?" Do you have any children? ”

Belch?

Could it be.....

Atwood froze slightly, then shook his head.

"Good."

Yuriva nodded and continued, "Your father married your sister into my family back then, but I'm sorry. My brother paid for his life, but he still didn't save her, which is the eternal regret of my family. Now I have two daughters, and one is unmarried, and I will have her sent when I go back. When you have offspring, and the north ushers in a Teutonic without any stain, my family will put the crown on the Teutonic again. As for you having an agreement with the Centaur Hazger, that's your business. I owe my allegiance to you, so I have no right to interfere with your plans for revenge. This is how it was decided, the Teutonic needed offspring, and the north needed to fight the Centaur fire. As the last Teuton, you have no right to refuse. ”

Before Atwood could speak, Viscount Martinez next to him couldn't hold back.

His daughters are all married, but there are unmarried nieces~

It's Yuriva's turn to call the shots!

"Yuriva, you dead old man!"

He immediately scolded, "I asked you to come over to discuss things, not to let you get married!" My father and I are cousins of Atwood, and we had a verbal marriage many years ago! ”

"That's your business."

Yuriva just glanced at him and walked straight out, "If you want Atwood to accept your woman, neither my daughter nor I will mind." ”

By the time he had finished speaking, he had already walked out of the study and rode back directly on his horse.

also made the two people in the room look at each other.

Atwood was the most embarrassed.

Although Yuriva recognized his revenge plan in disguise, he never imagined that it was actually in the way of urging him to become his own son~

In particular, he left directly after a word, which made Viscount Martinez so angry that he couldn't speak.

"That's it!"

After a long moment of being angry alone, Viscount Martinez said to Atwood, "There is no need to obey worldly conventions, and in order to give birth to an heir to Teutonic as soon as possible, my niece may give it to you, you will not refuse, right?" ”

It's not that it won't, but it can't.....

Atwood's face was full of helplessness.

If the Teutonic wanted to return to the north, they could not do without the support of Yuriva, and likewise without the help of Viscount Martinez.

To avenge his family, he did not hesitate to make a deal with the centaur Khan; Now, for the sake of the revival of the family, he also does not care about being accused by the world of defiling the sanctity of marriage.

Regardless, things went the way he was expecting.

After putting the matter aside in his heart, Atwood also asked questions, "Before I came back to the north, I heard that there were ancestral ghosts in the valley of my house, but I stayed in the valley all night and didn't encounter them, alas..... Viscount Martinez, do you know that ten members of the Griffin Legion disappear every year? ”

This question silenced Viscount Martinez.

After a long time, he whispered, "I know this, and I also know that it is not your family's ancestor who has appeared in the valley. Because my family territory has ice-free harbors, every year while your father was alive, I was asked to entrust a fleet from the Eastern Islands to bring ten slaves. Moreover, this is what successive generations of Viscounts Martinez have done. ”

Isn't it my family's ancestral ghost?!

Moreover, all generations of Teutonic once bought ten slaves?!

Atwood was stunned for a moment.

Soon, the memories that had been dusty for many years also awakened in his mind.

He remembered that every year when the water was dripping into ice, during the ten days when the valley entered the eternal night, his father was no longer in the valley's house!

And when his eldest brother, John, was fifteen years old, the same was true!

Once, he asked his mother why.

But his mother only told him that his father and John had gone to the valley of bones covered in a dense iron forest where the snow monsters lived.

As for what to do in the Valley of the White Bones~

His mother said he was still young, and he would know when he was older.

Now, he has grown up, and when he looks back on all kinds of deeds, he also faintly realizes: his father should have gone to sacrifice......

The sacrifice was the ten slaves.

After all, the coat of arms of the Teutonic family is the head of a roaring snowfland.

I haven't had the opportunity to go to the Valley of the White Bones, is this the reason why I have touched the threshold of the strong for many years, but I have not reached the realm of the strong for a long time?
