Chapter 1116 Baron Laval

In this world where magic and supernatural powers are widespread, young people receiving higher education on university campuses are not just weak scholars studying traditional subjects such as literature, medicine, law, philosophy and mathematics, but a large part of them are in the "Extraordinary Professionals" trained by the Seminary, Knight Academy and Austrian Law Academy.

Especially those college students who are proficient in divine or arcane arts, sometimes they only need to cast a spell to completely change the situation on the battlefield.

In the view of Sir Laval, who advocates "eliteism", these young talents with superior strength and fearlessness from the university campus are the most urgently needed help in Linyuan Castle. The food militia can compare.

When the adjutant was doing the roll call, the Jazz's eyes fell on the young faces who should be there, his eyes flashed sharply, and it was clear that he had activated the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" to verify the extraordinary professional level of the respondent. Whether it is consistent with the data registered on the roster.

Most of the two hundred interns were assigned to patrol battalions.

At the end, Sir Laval took out a small note from the pocket of his military uniform and handed it to the adjutant beside him.

The adjutant looked at the handwriting on the note, then raised his voice and named the names of the four college students.

"Joan Vida!"

"Hyrule Green!"

"Audrey Rosenthal Zion!"

"Holden Zion!"

"Four students who heard their names, please come out, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief will personally lecture you!"

Qiao An didn't expect her name to be the first to be called out, so she was taken aback for a moment.

He saw that Hyrule and the Zion siblings had left the queue and walked towards Sir Laval, so he hurriedly followed.

Joan secretly guessed that the Sir asked himself and three friends to go out alone. He didn't know what to order, and at the same time he was looking at the highest military officer of the Midgard colony.

As the commander-in-chief of the colony's garrison, Sir Laval was too young.

Sir Benedict Laval seems to be in his early 30s, tall and straight, with a handsome face somewhat similar to Arnold Laval, but more awe-inspiring than his younger brother .

The Laval family is a rare old-school aristocratic family in the northern colonies.

In the middle of the last century, Arnold’s grandfather came to the New World from the Old World to take office. At that time, he served as the Chief of Security of Midgard City. The "Land of Law" has become orderly, the crime rate has dropped sharply, and local residents, industries and businesses have also benefited from this. They respect this "iron-fisted policeman" very much.

The second generation of Sir Laval, that is, the generation of Arnold's father, was influenced by the atmosphere of the time. The Laval family, like most other wealthy aristocratic families, actively devoted themselves to the cause of pioneering the west and spent a lot of money. Land was purchased on the Great Plains of Lide for reclamation and construction.

The Great Plains of Vigrid is indeed fertile, but it is not a peaceful paradise.

Not to mention that wild beasts and monsters are rampant in the wilderness, attacking the settlements of the pioneers in groups, what is even more troublesome is that there are tens of thousands of Asa aborigines living in this land, and these aborigines do not recognize the Vikings at all. The Great Plains of Glider belonged to the colonists, and the land deeds in the hands of the colonists were even more disdainful. They regarded it as a piece of waste paper, and often galloped their horses to break into the colonists' farms, burning, killing, and looting wantonly. .

Under such a harsh environment, the western pioneering business was struggling. Many farms and pastures built with a lot of money, manpower and material resources were often completely destroyed overnight by hordes of monsters or indigenous bandits.

At the time, many investors in colonial ventures lost their money, and the Laval family was not spared.

Compared with investment failure, what is more unfortunate is that the old man's enthusiasm for pioneering has brought great misfortune to his family and relatives.

On an autumn day more than 20 years ago, the old lord's family went to the west to inspect a newly built pasture. On the way, they were attacked by Asa horse thieves. The baroness was shot by a poisoned arrow and died that night. .

The accidental death of the baroness dealt a heavy blow to the old man. Benedict Laval, who was only ten years old at the time, witnessed the tragic death of his mother under the arrows of the indigenous people. Since then, I have hated the aborigines of the Asa people to the bone.

After the death of the Baroness, the situation of the Laval family went from bad to worse. All the land business they invested in the west lost their money. This ancient and noble family was once on the verge of bankruptcy.

In order to revive his family business, the old man had to let go of his aristocratic figure, and married the only daughter of a self-made mining tycoon in the third year after the death of his former wife.

This wealthy lady from a bourgeois family came to Laval Manor with a generous dowry full of 30 carriages to reinvigorate this ancient and down-and-out aristocratic family.

The old man first used the dowry brought by his new wife to pay off the debts from the banker to the baker, and then under the guidance of his father-in-law, he invested in the magic crystal mine and made a lot of money. , I can finally straighten my waist again and return to the upper class social circle.

After two years of marriage, the Laval family added another happy event. The young baroness gave birth to a son, Arnold Laval.

Although they are half-brothers, and the age difference is more than ten years old, the relationship between the Laval brothers is very good.

After the old man died of illness, Benedict inherited his father's title and devoted himself to taking care of his stepmother and younger brother. Arnold even regarded his elder brother as an idol, and even imitated his elder brother intentionally or unintentionally in the way he talked and behaved—— Joan noticed this as soon as he saw Sir Laval today.

However, after all, Arnold is still young and lacks experience. No matter how hard he tries to imitate his elder brother, he still lacks a bit of aura after all.

Sir Laval carefully looked at the four young men standing side by side in front of him, nodded, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I want to thank you on behalf of Arnold. Thanks to your righteous rescue, Arnold was able to escape the clutches of the dark elves and return to the surface world safely."

"You are too polite, Your Excellency, is Arnold okay?" Audrey asked.

"The 'Spider Curse' has been removed, but the body has not yet fully recovered—although Arnold himself doesn't think so, but I still insist that he should recuperate in Baden Hot Spring for a while longer." Sir Laval smiled replied.
