Allegri lived in an annex not far from the palace.

This is an independent courtyard, surrounded by green trees, small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard, and the environment is very elegant. According to Modesic, this is also the retirement home of a prince of the previous dynasty. Allegri's dozens of entourage were all occupied, and the space was still more than enough. At a time when delegations from all over the world were gathering in Norman and the city was overcrowded, he could still enjoy this kind of treatment, which should be Nacchini's special care for his old friend.

Mordschic didn't linger long, and after a few simple arrangements, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, and it seemed that he still had important things to do. In charge of the defense of this place, it is a swordsman squad of the city defense army, they only stand guard at the front and back gates of the courtyard, and do not interfere with the freedom of movement of the people in the courtyard, and the attitude is very respectful, and the two sides get along quite well.

Despite this, the mercenary masters sent by Dios still arranged a complete guard system to prevent someone from secretly causing trouble. Since the raid of the "Undertaker" two months ago, Allegri and the others have mobilized some of their men to form a security agency in the river valley, and this should be their first actual battle.

As soon as the arrangements were in place, Allegri breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. There are still three days left before the "Victory Day Celebration" on April 30th, and it seems that I should be able to take a good rest.

As soon as this thought came to him, he was about to lean back in his chair and take a nap, when suddenly someone walked into the room quickly and said respectfully, "My lord, please take a look at this list." ”

Allegri sighed and slowly opened his eyes. This middle-aged man with a square face is called Colin, and he is one of the stewards in the valley, and he has always been cautious and careful, so he was selected by Onesha to serve as the foreign envoy of the delegation. Responsible for liaison with Snowton officials.

"What's the content?" Allegri asked, picking up his spirits and patiently asking.

"This is a list drawn up by Miss Onesa," Colin said, handing him the parchment scroll, "and it contains the names of the officials with whom you may associate this time, and the appropriate gifts...... While the ceremony has not yet begun. Adults should move around more. ”

"Well," Allegri nodded helplessly, took the parchment and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be startled, "Why so much?"

This list has two or three pages, and at a cursory glance, there are about 20 or so officials' information, densely packed with small print, recording their various information, such as official positions, hobbies, personal character, factions, and so on. And so on.

"So time is tight, so my subordinates have to take the liberty of disturbing the adults to rest," Colin replied with a smile knowing his temper, "but you don't have to be exhaustive, Miss Onessa has marked everyone's important agenda, and the adults have chosen a few key people." Open a breakthrough first, and it will be much easier to act later. ”

With Onessa to help. What a happy thing. Allegri breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze locked directly to the top of the list,

"Chief of Imperial War, General Kudran. ”

Without a doubt, this is a very wise choice. Among the many Snowton officials, the veteran general was the one he was most familiar with. Speaking of which. The two also had a few more pleasant contacts. And through the other party, he will soon be able to get acquainted with a large number of upper-class magnates, so as not to try his luck with a black eye.

"Your Excellency, are you leaving?" asked Colin as he saw that he wanted to stand up.

"Hmm. Are you along?" Allegri asked casually, with such a slick person by his side, lest he not be able to speak, and the scene would be embarrassing.

"My subordinate has just received a note from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will go to hand over some written documents later," Colin replied embarrassedly, "Why don't I arrange a few more retinues for my lordship?"

"Forget it, you go and prepare the gifts," Allegri shook his head, thought for a moment, and then commanded, "just call Ados and let him accompany me." "Whether in my memory or in the information I just saw, it shows that the old general Kudran is a person who does not like red tape, and it is not beautiful to take too many people there.

Colin bowed down and walked briskly out of the room.

Allegri changed into a stern gown and looked at the sad guy in the mirror, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

An hour later, in front of the General's Mansion.

"This mansion is really magnificent. Allegri rolled over and dismounted, and exclaimed.

Kudran served as the commander of the Holy Blood River Theater for more than ten years, and even though he had always been honest and honest, he had accumulated a lot of money and saved a huge family business. A few miles west of the palace, his mansion occupies an area of a block, and the pine and cypress trees line along the high walls of Tuzhu, stretching far on both sides, with no end in sight.

"Teacher, is this the place?" said Dalgnan, carrying an elegantly packaged gift box.

"I guess that's right. Allegri nodded in acknowledgment as he looked at the bronze-rimmed gate in front of him and the delicate stone reliefs on either side. Kudran started with military exploits, and a horse stake was tied in front of the door, all in the shape of a beast. In the past years, its edges and corners have long been rubbed and smooth, and deep recessed grooves can be seen at the reins.

"Excuse me, my lordship, what do you call it?" and while they were tying their horses, the porter in Tsing Yi and the little hat had already hurried over and bowed down and asked.

"Under ...... Count Allegri, "has not yet received the official canonization, so Allegri's self-introduction seems a little lacking, "I have an old relationship with the old general, and I recently came to Norman to participate in the 'Victory Day Celebration', so I came to visit before. ”

"Oh?" As the concierge of the General's Mansion, he is also well-informed, but he has never heard of the other party's name, so it is inevitable that he is a little suspicious. Although there are a few guys who dare to swagger and deceive here, the entire empire can't pick out a few, but what if there are those who don't have long eyes?

Thinking of this, the porter still maintained a respectful smile, but his tone was mixed with a bit of tentativeness, "Then the adult can have a famous thorn, let the small one be presented?"

Allegra was stunned, he was not from a noble background at all, how could he know these strict etiquette. In fact, he just introduced himself, and he was already out of the basket. Conversations with the porter are supposed to be conducted by his entourage. The so-called aristocratic lords only need to sit high on their horses, or stay in the carriage and wait.

"It's ...... The name thorn of my family. Dargnan used to be a killer, and he rarely walked through the front door openly, and he was stunned for a moment just now, before he remembered Onisha's previous instructions, and took a step forward, took out a beautiful name card from his arms, and handed it over.
