Chapter 18: Earl Wright is back

Looking at the cute sister in front of him, Baron Linde felt a big head.

Since there is only one girl in this generation of the family, Lin has been the pearl of the family since she was a child, and her parents and brothers are all kinds of spoiled.

After his father's death, Linde inherited the title and doted on his sister.

It's just that when he thinks of his sister and that Claire, Baron Linde is angry.

My sister likes other boys, and Linde can barely accept it although she feels that some of the cabbage in the family has been arched by pigs. But that Claire, not only hanging her sister, but also has close ties with so many ladies, not to mention his wife, how can he bear it.

Although Claire's strength has a lot of attraction value, but with such a character, Linde will never let him have the slightest relationship with his sister.

Seeing his sister like this, Linde knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only say a few words casually, and sent Lin back to sleep. Just as he was about to instruct the servant to keep an eye on his sister, Linde heard the news that his wife had sent her maid to find Claire to no avail, which almost made Linde scold, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

That damn woman! It's a little too daring!

Even if his wife wanted to cuckold Linde so openly, Linde could only endure it at this moment. His wife is not an ordinary person, she is also from the Baron family under Trois-Rivières, and the family strength is stronger than Linde's.

The marriage between the two of them was originally a political marriage that was feared by the authority of Earl Wright, and the two parties had no feelings, and such a result could be said to be inevitable. Even without Claire, his wife would still find other mistresses.

This is understandable, Linde himself has several lovers. What displeased Linde the most was that because of his outstanding performance, he became the earl's most relied on commander, and his wife's family, in the name of marriage, with the help of his wife, had reaped many benefits over the years, even more than he had received himself.

Thinking of his wife's family and thinking of Claire, Linde's heart became more and more murderous.

Unexpectedly, a second-order knight could actually come back alive under the siege of several third-order knights, which greatly surprised him. I'm afraid that Claire has already advanced to the third order. I don't know if the old fox of the earl already knew, but Claire's luck was too good.

However, since they are all involved in this apparent heir battle, and they have each chosen to support them, it is only a matter of time before they disappear.

Lind knew better than anyone else what was going on in the old fox's mind.

Well, don't Claire and her brother-in-law want to be barons, so I can help them well, so that when they die, they will definitely thank themselves.

If you want to become a real nobleman, the price is not so simple. I hope the two of them can afford it.

Baron Lind stood by the window, looking out at the night, the coldness in his eyes gradually disappearing.

During the time that Count Wright left Trois-Rivières, the entire Tri-Rivers City undercurrent was surging, and countless people were running for their own interests.

The matter of Count Wright's large-scale division of the barons seemed to have become an open secret overnight, and even the merchants in the city began to discuss it. There are even underground casinos that offer odds on the list of barons who can be knighted this time.

The odds with the highest odds are undoubtedly Claire, with odds of 1.02 indicating that if there is no accident, Claire's barony is a certainty.

No way, the conversation between Earl Wright and Claire at the city gate that day did not shy away from others, and many people heard Count Wright's promise. The Earl, with the promise he made in front of so many people, was naturally unlikely to break his promise.

And the people on the other lists are not idle people. There are professionals who have reached the middle level, there are magicians who will soon step into the middle level, there are potential new stars who have the support of their families, and so on.

In short, this was originally a very sacred knighthood, but it unwittingly evolved into a grand event for the whole people in Trois-Rivières, and some of Claire saw the taste of entertainment to death in Blue Star in her previous life.

When Claire learned about it, she just smiled, all of this, maybe some baron family was building momentum for their unsuccessful heir. Maybe there's even Count Wright's plan.

Because, Count Wright came back too late than he expected.

Count Wright, who was supposed to be able to return in four days, has been away for a week, and has not yet returned to Trois-Rivières City, as if he is at the mercy of public opinion. Some nobles even privately circulated the news of Count Wright's disappearance, which made people laugh and cry.

No matter what these people want to do, it still has a big impact on Claire, that is, recruiting soldiers with Wade is not going well.

Due to the strange situation, there are not a few people who want to form their own private armed forces like Claire, which directly makes the cost of recruiting soldiers rise, even if Wade sells the house and magic scroll that is still valuable and recruits a hundred people, there is still a big gap in funds.

At a critical time, if it weren't for Fred sending a wave of financial assistance, I'm afraid Claire really wouldn't have been able to recruit a hundred soldiers.

Because in the end, there has been a strange scene where you can't recruit soldiers even if you offer a high price.

Faced with such a situation, the Morris family did not react at all, and the guards of Three Rivers City did not stop it at all, except for increasing manpower to ensure the security of the city.

This makes more people have unwarranted associations.

However, everything came to an abrupt end when Count Wright returned to Trois-Rivières.

Count Wright, who secretly went on an expedition, brought a shocking news, which directly made no one discuss the matter of knighthood.

Count Wright personally intervened, capturing Count Marcus's heir, Reese, alive, and beheading one of the sixth-order magicians who protected him.

When the news broke, there was an uproar.

Everyone realized that in the war between Count Wright and Count Maccas, Count Wright was almost invincible.

Holding the other party's heir, how to fight.

In fact, as expected, Count Macas, who had heard the news that Count Wright had summoned his vassals and was also about to gather a large army, stopped gathering his army after learning that his heir had been captured by Count Wright, and sent an envoy to Trois-Rivières to negotiate.

Claire was not surprised by this exciting news. Because Count Wright learned the news of Reese's location, it was Claire's credit.

Reese's mentor, the sixth-order mage who was slain by Count Wright, is traveling with Reese in search of an item.

The Aric and others Claire met before were members of the guard group sent by Marcas.

It can be said that Count Wright was able to capture Reese, and more than eighty percent of the credit must be attributed to Claire.
