Chapter 377: Your Father Is a Bastard!
As night fell, whether out of politeness or respect for the elders, Verdu organized a simple welcome banquet and invited three territorial nobles to have dinner. They also did not refuse, but the atmosphere was a little not very good.
Due to the massive loss of personnel, there are enough houses in Declan Castle for rest, and it is more than enough for all the people brought by the three nobles to come in. As for worrying? That's not necessary, just two advanced experts are enough for them to put down all their thoughts.
Weir did not rest, and the lights were brightly lit in the study. There were not many books here, only about a hundred or so. It was obvious that the Declan family was not a scholarly family, and many of them were purchased and added later. His cousin Goagolu Declan deserves most of the credit.
Looking from the back to the front, the more Weir looked at it, the weirder he felt, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger.
The knock on the door that he had been waiting for for a long time finally rang, but the first person who came in was not what he wanted, but he was also expected: Lord Ebola.
"Guy, don't blame me for relying on my old age. Your father and I grew up together and played around with brothers with different surnames. I actually don't like your uncle that much. I admire your father more." Lord Ebola looked at Weir up and down. He was amazed.
"Florette, that idiot with well-developed limbs and simple mind, was able to give birth to a smart son like you. I just learned about some of your legendary experiences from the intelligence officer next to me. Haha, beat Mabuster County Middle School The young top master, the president of the student club of Drake Senior College, and the leader of the Boy Scouts, tsk tsk, he can do a lot more things than your father did when he was young."
Hearing Lord Ebola mention his father, Weir immediately became interested, "Dear Lord Ebola, can you tell me a story about my father when he was young? Every time he mentioned his youth, he always told me He talked about the hardships he went through to get to Drake City and the hardships he went through when he was on a mercenary mission. Of course, it was more about his unrestrained pursuit of my mother."
"Tsk, tsk, a fool who has never graduated from intermediate education actually pursues an outstanding graduate of a senior college, and can withstand the test of the fist of a senior knight. Florette is indeed worthy of pride." Lord Ebola smiled slightly, seeming to be a little nostalgic. , and seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "Your father is just a bastard!"
"You and I, Florette, are really going too far. Our two families are relatively close to each other, and most of them belong to a lord's territory with relatively poor resources. Farmland is a very important resource. There is a river between our two territories. , your bastard father dragged me to catch fish, and then stole crops to cook and eat. When he was finally caught, he jumped into the water and ran away, leaving me who couldn’t swim and was sent home.” Lord Ebola kept accusing me. Looking at his father: "We were only seven years old at that time."
At the age of seven, he went down to the river to fish and steal other people's crops.
When the eight-year-old gangs fight, Lord Ebola takes the blame every time.
At the age of ten, he took a bow and arrow and secretly hunted wild wolves. He was then chased and bitten by wild wolves, and was finally rescued by his family guard (Lord Ebola's house guard).
When he was twelve years old, he peeped at a girl taking a bath. After being discovered, he left Lord Ebola behind and ran away first.
When he was fifteen years old, he carried the school's flag and constantly challenged other intermediate colleges in Mabst City, and was expelled.
At the age of seventeen, his father passed away and his brother succeeded to the third position of Lordship. Florette Declan left Lord Langlan's territory with a simple rattan box. He didn't even tell anyone and left Mabst. There has been no news from the county for a long time.
"This is your father,
A bastard with outstanding qualifications and unlimited potential, but also a rebellious and thoughtful person. "Ebola's face showed a look of nostalgia, "My child, you are outstanding. You have the potential and qualifications of your father, but you are happier than him. You have been given a lot of resources to grow up quickly. Born into a noble family, as the second son, his childhood was actually not that happy. "
"Okay, I've taken up too much of your time. There are some things I wish I could talk to your father face to face instead of telling you. My child, your world should be a better place." Lord Ebola still regarded Will as The children of the younger generation.
"Is it something about the financial officer?" Weir shook his head slightly and took a deep look at Lord Ebola: "Whatever, I won't need him in a short time. The account books on the surface of Lord Declan's possession are very important. It’s enough for me to come.”
Lord Ebola trembled and stared at the young man in front of him with sharp eyes, "How much do you know? There are many things that even you and your father don't know."
"I am the former director of Drake City's Everything House and the current director of the Special Affairs Handling Department." Wilwan asked him to go back: "Some things are better for my father to be the first to know. My goal from the beginning has been to keep And build the territory, that’s all.”
Territory information documents, these things are very precious, and most people would not want to destroy them. After all, no matter who accepts this Lord Territory, they will need to use them.
In front of the study door, Lord Ebola met Baron Zaksi, who had been waiting there for a long time and might have even been listening for a long time. The two exchanged greetings before Lord Ebola left, "He is not Flory." He is special, but he is more powerful and capable than the young Florette. His strength and background are worthy of our admiration.”
This sentence was very light, but it still reached Will's ears. This lord who was fooled by his father when he was young is definitely a wise noble lord. You will feel very comfortable dealing with him.
Although the territory of Baron Zaksi and Lord Declan is a neighbor, the relationship between them can only be described as indifferent. Baron Zaksi did not say too much politeness. After greeting, he went straight to the point: "Lord Will is a god-favored person. I wonder what you think of wizards?"
Will pondered for a moment and shook his head gently: "Wizards are a group of seekers of knowledge who pursue extraordinary power. They may be more knowledgeable, but their wisdom is not much different from that of ordinary people."
"I feel sincerely happy to hear such a fair evaluation from a god-favored person." Baron Zaksi said softly: "Lord Will, as the director of the Special Affairs Processing Office of Drake City, must be familiar with wizards. After all, the place with the most wizards in the entire Karst Kingdom is Drake City."
"I have indeed come into contact with some." Will nodded gently, waiting for his next words.
"There is a wizard in our family who is proficient in alchemy and pharmacy. Every year we have to invest a lot of money and resources in that lord. That hill is suitable for growing a kind of magic potion. It was personally requested by that lord, so..." Baron Zaksi did not think that this would make Will give in. After all, he was a god-favored person. He didn't need the White Cardinal of the Night Goddess of Mabust City. Even if he invited one or two priests, it would be enough for his own pharmacist to drink a pot.
"What level of wizard is your pharmacist?" Will was not surprised that the nobles supported wizards. You should know that many magic potions can repair the body and enhance cultivation. For knights and warriors, wizards are the best masters. In the Wizard Islands, there are many great knights, air knights, and even paladins among the followers of formal wizards.
"Third-level wizard apprentices, although the level seems to be similar to that of senior knights, the methods of wizards are weird, and ordinary great warriors may not be able to please them." Baron Zaksi's words were full of respect. Obviously, this senior knight had suffered a loss.
"Go back and ask him if he knows my name, and don't worry about the rest. The territory must be taken back. You can buy the so-called magic potion from me. Don't worry, God is merciful and treats wizards equally." Will waved his hand and let him go back.
In the wizard world of the Gods Continent, Will is also a celebrity. Whether he is a wild wizard or an academic wizard, it is impossible for him to have a stronger background than himself. Is the third-level wizard apprentice very powerful? There are not one or two third-level wizard apprentices who have studied with him. There is no need to value him so much.
When Baron Zaksi walked out of the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "Don't wait any longer. Baron Harald will not come. He has his own dignity. His relationship with your Deklan family is very stiff and he will not bow his head easily."
"That means there is no room for negotiation. Well, since the negotiation has not been successful, the deadline of tomorrow afternoon that I set before is still valid." Will's face turned cold, and Baron Zaksi couldn't help shaking his head gently, turning around and walking away.
