Chapter 396 Tangled Baron Bezos 【Subscription】
Baron Bezos said softly.
Such a gentle tone made him a little flattered.
In Hadrow's memory, since he was an adult, he has rarely seen his father speak to him so gently.
"That's right, father..."
"When I was returning to Bosbon, I met a group of people on the road."
"The one at the head also happens to be wearing armor and riding a pig."
"He was with a team of heavily armored cavalry, and I passed him by and couldn't catch up."
After a brief silence, Hadrow told Baron Bezos what he saw when he returned.
In his heart there is an incomparable longing to make achievements.
Now is a great opportunity.
If you can catch the person who rescued the saint of the church.
Then he can become familiar with the giant city.
At the same time, it can also win the favor of Viscount Quinnir.
And as the top bounty on the wanted list, this is also a credit.
To be able to raise his reputation among the younger children of the Chebman family.
No title, no fame, no merit, this is his embarrassment as the second generation of you.
He is a typical three-none youth.
According to the tradition of the kingdom, the hereditary nobility is to be downgraded, and Bezos' title is baron.
There are no more titles any more.
It is almost impossible for Hadrow to inherit Bosang in a state of three no youths.
At least the Chebman family would not allow such a situation.
Wait until Baron Bezos sleeps forever.
The family would then assign another consul to Bosbon.
As for Hadrow, he can only inherit the wealth left by Bezos.
As his father grew old.
He must get a title or a certain fame as soon as possible.
Humans in this world do not belong to the immortal species.
The average life expectancy for most civilians is between 55 and 65 years.
The life expectancy of the pampered nobles is not much higher.
Overeating, excessive indulgence, and disordered work and rest are all factors that affect life expectancy.
For ordinary nobles, after the age of 60, they will enter the age of aging.
Both physical and mental state will be much worse than before.
To be able to live to the age of 80 to 95 is considered longevity.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Some nobles with magical talent and strong spiritual power.
And those nobles who have undergone rigorous training and have reached the level of high-ranking warriors or knights.
Life expectancy will be extended to a certain extent.
Strong physical and mental strength can effectively delay the aging of the body.
Among them, the master is dominant, if he can practice to the level of a fifth-order senior master.
You can easily live to be one hundred forty or fifty years old.
However, after the age of 120, it will also enter a serious aging period.
That's why Baron Bezos knew that Zong Shen had a talent for magic.
So surprised and envious.
Nobles and mages are the best match.
That is longer than ordinary people's lifespan and can enjoy the prosperity of the world calmly.
You can also watch your nemesis die with your own eyes.
For aristocratic gentlemen, there is nothing more refreshing than this kind of thing.
There is a very incisive saying on earth, and it is also applicable in this world.
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
Even if they are both nobles, they still have their own friends and enemies.
Just like Baron Bezos has always disliked Evans.
Therefore, Hadrow is extremely eager to capture the mysterious pig rider.
Baron Bezos can naturally feel the mood of his son.
This is where he is most troubled.
Fortunately, his mentality was very stable, and Hadrow did not see any flaws.
He reached out and patted Hadrow on the shoulder.
"Dear son, I'll take care of everything."
"I see all your efforts."
"It doesn't matter if you can't catch this mysterious pig rider."
"Soon, there is another good opportunity."
Baron Bezos said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
Hearing him say that, Hadrow was stunned for a moment.
"Father..."
"The good chance you said...?"
Baron Bezos raised his head with a smile and looked to the west, where the great city of Rentax was located.
Then he spoke slowly.
"In more than a month, there will be a grand banquet in the great city of Rentax."
"This banquet was convened by the great city consul, the venerable Marquis of Henry Lancaster."
"We were also invited and set off in about half a month.
"The youngest daughter of the Marquis has just come of age..."
When Baron Bezos said this, he deliberately paused before continuing.
"My good boy, use your handsomeness and masculinity to win her heart."
"I'll try to get you a chance."
"It's better to pursue a wonderful love than the mysterious pig-rider."
"Once you become the marquis's son-in-law, what does Bosbon mean."
There was a hint of bewitchment in his words.
For Hadrow, Bezos is a respectable father.
The words spoken by the beloved father naturally did not make him suspicious.
Under these two factors, his attention was successfully diverted.
He is 25 years old this year and has not married yet.
By the standards of the aborigines of this world.
The average civilian class usually starts a family before the age of 16 to 18.
And those sons of nobles or wealthy merchants usually resolve their marriage problems before the age of 22.
Only children who have become a family can be considered independent in the true sense.
Like a chick leaving the nest, entering a new stage of life.
Someone like Hadrow Chebman is already a proper old man.
Of course, the above criteria are not absolute.
It is true that young men in the military usually marry later.
But in any case, Hadrow has indeed reached the age to marry and have children.
For himself, he also had some thoughts in his mind.
Although he doesn't have a real wife, Hadrow is not a pure chick.
His character is a bit like Baron Bezos, but like most of the aristocratic heirs in this world.
On the issue of male and female love, he is open-minded.
However, the wild flowers and weeds outside cannot compete with the flowers on the table after all.
The daughter of the marquis is the real delicate flower.
Most importantly, she is also a key that allows Hadrow to enter the aristocratic circle.
Under the intentional change of topic by Baron Bezos.
Let's not say whether this can be done or not, but Hadrow's mind has drifted far away.
"I see, my father."
"I'm going to rest now."
"I don't know if the Hopkin guy got pretty jewelry during this time."
"I can't go to dinner empty-handed..."
Hopkin is the largest jeweler in Bosbon and has his own jewelry craftsmen.
The jewelry made is pretty good.
Although it is incomparable to those great artisans in the giant city, it is not a magic accessory.
But it's more than enough to use it as a greeting.
The Terran natives of this world have no shortage of wealth.
Especially in this special era.
Compared with the value of jewelry itself, style and workmanship are more important.
Baron Bezos nodded with a smile and said nothing.
Afterwards, Hadrow resigned to his father impatiently.
Baron Bezos looked down at the parchment in his hand.
Hold it tightly in your palm.
"Curtis, tell Zachary to come to my study later."
Baron Bezos gave an order to the butler standing beside him.
The butler named Curtis nodded.
"Okay, my lord."
"I'm going to inform Zachary-sama right now."
Baron Bezos nodded slightly and walked towards the castle.
His right hand was still clutching the parchment, and his knuckles were starting to turn red.
At this moment, his heart was struggling.
He waved his hands expressionlessly and refused to accompany and serve the maids in the castle.
He went up to the second floor by himself and came to his special study room.
The heavy wooden soft-box door was closed.
There are rows of bookcases along the walls of the study.
Here are some of his collections of books and past expeditions.
It includes various geographical logs and marks of relics within the jurisdiction of Bospan.
There are even some records of alien tribes living in the wild, and the habitat of powerful monsters.
These data are not official survey data of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Most of them were personally explored by Baron Bezos himself, led by the expedition team.
The last large-scale survey at the kingdom level was more than a thousand years ago.
Although humans have become the real protagonists of this era.
But after the initial accumulation of wealth, they lost the desire to explore.
Especially in this vast world.
Since there are old books to eat, who has the motivation to forge ahead?
The most important point is that the world is too big.
enough to satisfy human reproduction and expansion.
The entire kingdom basically turned a blind eye to settlements and refugees.
As long as it doesn't interfere with those with vested interests, no one will stop the refugees from going wild and seeking a living.
According to the reproduction speed of the aboriginal human beings before, even after tens of thousands of years, this continent can still accommodate.
Baron Bezos sat on a chair by the desk.
The chair was covered with the soft fur of the prairie fox, with a cushion at the waist.
He put the parchment scroll in his hand on the table.
With both hands, the rolled surface that was clenched into a ball was unfolded.
Staring at it lost in thought.
There were some contradictions in his heart, and he was a little shaken by Zong Shen's friendship that could be called life and death.
After thinking for a few minutes, Baron Bezos finally put away the sheepskin roll.
He got up and went to a few rows of bookshelves behind him.
Pushed somewhere on one of the bookshelves.
A sound of sliding and riveting appeared, and the bookshelf moved several tens of centimeters toward the rear.
Then it slid aside, revealing a sturdy metal rune door.
There is a faint rune light circulating on the entire rune gate.
I saw Baron Bezos stretched out his right hand and gently touched the rune door with the ring on it.
Activate it to open, and behind the door is a secret room.
He walked quickly into the secret room.
Hide the parchment.
Then he walked out as if nothing had happened.
Although his expression was still serious, the entanglement in his brows and eyes was a little less.
"I can't control other Bangcheng districts."
"At least Bosbonne, I can still suppress it."
Baron Bezos sat back on the desk and muttered softly to himself.
This kind of wanted thing can be big or small.
The murderers on the wanted list of each giant city are not one thousand but eight hundred.
This isn't a big deal.
Although the crusade suffered a lot of losses.
But in the final analysis, this big black pot still has to be carried by the heretics of the Church of Calamity Ravens.
The pig-riding mysterious man is just a variable.
With those high-level urine, it will take less than a month to forget about it.
"call…"
"Brother Zong, Brother Zong, I hope you have nothing to do with those heretics..."
Baron Bezos meditated in his heart.
"Dong dong..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
"Please come in."
Bezos sat up straight and shouted to the door.
Then the door was gently pushed open.
A tall young man in silver armor walked into the study.
It was Bosbon's young sheriff Zachary Osborn.
He came to the desk and bowed.
"Lord Bezos, are you looking for me?"
"What's up with that guy Evans?"
"Is he awake?"
Baron Bezos asked softly.
Evans has been in a coma since that day.
Those terrifying injuries on the body are relatively stable, but they have never been able to wake up.
According to the observations of the Light Priests and Junior Physicians in the city, Evans's soul seems to have serious problems.
This is the crux of his inability to wake up.
Most of the girls brought back from the folded space have found their family members.
Evans' guilt has been definitively established.
The relevant testimony and evidence have been preserved.
It was announced in Bangcheng.
According to the laws of the Kingdom of Avalon, what awaited Evans would be a merciless beheading.
Sheriff Zachley shook his head slowly.
"Not yet awake, according to the priest of the Light."
"His soul is weak and has fallen into a deep sleep."
"Also we searched Evans' estate."
"No money found."
"But a secret room was found in the attic."
"But it's empty."
"He should have hidden his wealth elsewhere."
Zachley's honest reporting.
Hearing him say that, Baron Bezos was silent.
He rested his hands on his chin and stared at the desk.
Zachley didn't bother him either, just stood quietly and waited.
Half a minute later, Baron Bezos raised his head.
"With Evans' personality, the wealth must have been transferred in advance."
"His caravan is stationed in Runcorn all year round."
"I heard that the place was attacked by bear beasts a few days ago, and a dozen villagers died."
"You send a team to investigate."
After getting the instruction, Zachley nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he bowed and left the study quickly.
