Chapter 277: Marriage and Suppression of Bandits (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)

"Great-grandfather, is there much more fun in Dark Eagle City? Is it prettier than Twilight City?" A childish voice came from behind Count Nero. A little girl stood up, stepped on the broad horseback, and held her hands with her hands. He put his head on Count Nero's shoulder and glanced ahead, but could not see anything, so he shouted angrily: "Great-grandfather, you are lying. We are almost there, but there is nothing in front of us!"

Count Nero smiled when he heard this, with a kind face. He turned his head to meet his great-granddaughter's watery eyes and fair face. Seeing her cheeks puffing up slightly and looking angry, he said gently: "Gianna, I I’m not lying to you, I will definitely make it to Dark Eagle City today.”

Gianna had short golden hair with several swan-like exquisite hairpins. She was innocent and cute. She turned her face slightly and said suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course, if I lie, you can make any request and I will try my best to satisfy you!" Count Nero smiled kindly and gently stroked the blond hair on the side of Jaina's face.

"Wow, great-grandfather is great!" Jaina jumped on the horse and cheered loudly, "Hehe, I want to see the Orc Circus! I have seen many descriptions of circuses in story books. It is so exciting, but this time I haven’t seen one either. Didn’t you say there are orcs in Dark Eagle City? Can you take me to see them?”

Nile held Jaina's waist to prevent her from falling. But after hearing this request, there was a touch of helplessness on his face, and he said: "I'm afraid I can't guarantee that this request will be fulfilled. After all, it's not Twilight City, how can everything be fulfilled?" As you wish, the orcs there do not belong to us, so how can they be willing to perform acrobatics for you? "

"Ah?" Jaina said with a long tail voice, her little face drooped, and she grabbed a piece of light armor on Nile's shoulder and said, "Then what should I do? How can I see the orcs perform? Great-grandfather, you must have a way to deal with it." wrong."

Count Nero shook his head and sighed. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled with squinted eyes: "Haha, there is indeed a way... but I may have to pin my hope on you."

"What do you mean?" Jaina tilted her head, her face confused and confused.

Count Nero suddenly fell silent, his smiling face turned forward, his smile slowly faded away, and he regained his composure.

His voice drifted back: "The first requirement is that you stay quiet and don't jump around. Just like your third grandma Qiaolia, be quiet."

Four hours later, Count Nile led the team to Dark Eagle City. Following the road signs, they quickly arrived at Green Manor.

At the entrance of the Green Manor, Sveta was taking a leisurely walk, but unexpectedly met Count Nero's visit. Almost as soon as they met, the latter enthusiastically dismounted and took out a rare item that had been rarely seen on the southwest border for decades. With great enthusiasm, he walked forward quickly and said:

"Butler Sveta, long time no see. You look as good as ever and are still as energetic as ever."

Sveta, who had some insomnia, put down the small red kettle for watering, and responded politely: "It turns out to be Count Nero. It's been a long time indeed. Are you going to visit the master today?"

"Yes, I do have something to discuss with Marquis Leiter." Earl Nero's smile remained unchanged, pointing to the carriage behind him, and said: "This is a gift from me on behalf of the Blaine family to Marquis Leiter, please bother Siwei." The tower steward will help inform Marquis Leiter."

"a piece of cake."

Facing Count Nero's enthusiastic greetings, kind words, and boxes of gifts in the carriage behind, Sveta was filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, his master was just a baron and a minor nobleman. Count Nero was an absolute big shot to the Green family. Even his master was respectful when he faced him. But things have turned, and today, everything is reversed. As the steward of Green Manor, he felt this very deeply.

After coming back to his senses, he showed the attitude that a marquis butler should have, smiled lightly, but without losing etiquette, and said to the knight behind him: "Kaz, you go to the training ground to find some knights, Let them transport these goods to the warehouse!"

"Understood, Butler Sveta!" After saying that, the knight rushed towards the training ground.

"Count Nero, please come in with me first. Master, he is in the castle. I will go up and report." After speaking, Sveta turned around and walked towards the Dark Rock Castle at a faster pace.

"Thank you very much!"

When Count Nero followed up, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps around him. Sveta turned her head and frowned slightly: "It is best not to wander around with so many people in the Green Manor, especially the back garden is forbidden to enter, but in these two empty areas You can do whatever you want on the lawn." As he said this, he pointed to the empty lawns on both sides of the stone path.

"These are the most basic rules, I know them very well!" Count Nero smiled, then picked up Jaina and said, "This is my great-granddaughter. There should be no problem in accompanying me into Dark Rock Castle, right?"

"It's okay, please come with me."

Gianna, who was held in Nile's arms, looked around. Although she didn't make a sound, her bright eyes were full of curiosity about this strange place.

The two entered the Dark Rock Castle. Sveta ordered the servants to entertain the guests, and then walked up the stairs, preparing to go up to report. But at the corner of the third floor, he happened to see Leiter who was coming downstairs. He was stunned for a moment and kept his posture ready to tell his master about Count Nero's visit.

But Leiter interrupted him, pushed out a hand, and said: "I have seen it, Count Nero is down there, Sveta, you don't look good, go and rest first."

"My master's eyes are piercing. I really had trouble sleeping last night." Sveta said, stroking her chest.

"Take care of yourself and let me know if you feel any discomfort." Leiter patted Sveta on the shoulder, walked over her and went downstairs.

thump thump thump

Hearing the slight sound of coming downstairs, Count Nero stood up straight, walked quickly on the red blanket, faced the mature and steady figure, and said in a higher voice: "Marquis Leiter, long time no see, The news of your promotion to Marquis is good news to the entire southwest border. I have been waiting for your promotion banquet and prepared to congratulate you in person. However, I have been waiting for a long time and have not been able to wait. However, I always want to express my excitement to you. Send it, so I’m here today.”

Looking at Nile who took the initiative to spread his arms, Leiter hugged him gently, with a standard smile on his lips: "Thank you for the compliment. Who is the little girl next to you?"

"Bonnie's granddaughter, and also my great-granddaughter, Gianna. You know, the last time Boney returned to the canyon defense line, he was seriously injured. It was always a blow to him. After he came back, he fell into despair and didn't have much care for his descendants. Thoughts. I had no choice but to take her out for a long experience this time.”

"That's it." Leiter walked to the dining table, sat down and waved to Count Nero: "Please sit down, Boni's experience is really pitiful. I hope he can get out of the shadows soon."

"Oh." Nile sighed and took a sip of tea.

Then, the two chatted for a while and tasted a few desserts. During this period, Gianna sat on a chair. Although she was motionless, her big eyes kept turning and looking around. It was obvious that she had a lively and active heart. .

Leiter smiled slightly when he saw this: "Count Nero, it looks like Jaina can't sit still. It's completely unnecessary to tie a child to a fixed position. Why not let her go upstairs, Dick and Kazele are there. If you are playing in the room, you wouldn’t mind having such a cute girl join you, and you would even… be very welcome, what do you think?”

"That's great. I agree with Marquis Leiter's point of view!" Count Nero looked at Gianna, patted her back, and said, "Gianna, there are other friends waiting for you upstairs. Go up first. Marquis Leiter and I have other things to discuss."

"Got it." Jaina responded obediently, finished the dessert on the plate, and jumped down from the chair.

"Scarlett, take her to Riley's room." Leiter said to the maid next to him.

"Yes, Lord!" Scarlett, who was wearing a black and white maid uniform, responded and took Gianna's little hand upstairs.

After the two left, Leiter took a sip of tea and said softly: "Count Nero, it seems that your great-granddaughter is not very happy. It is not good to force children to do things they do not want..."

"It's nothing, it's just that Jaina has always wanted to see the orcs perform acrobatics. How can I agree to her unreasonable request." Nero laughed and shook his head.

He paused for a while, considered his words, and said, "Actually... Marquis Leiter, I came here this time because I want to talk to you about something important."

"Oh? Please tell me something." Lei Te looked at the other party, pretending to be surprised.

"I think there can be a marriage between our two families!" Count Nero said seriously.

"Marriage? Are you kidding?" Leiter suddenly raised his voice and looked at Nile with a strange look on his face.

Earl Nero also said with a sincere face: "Yes, that's it. As a Marquis now, you are the strongest force in the land on the southwest border, and our Blaine family has been operating here for a long time. If we Being able to marry and join forces will be of endless benefit to both of us and to the land on the southwest border."

"Whether it's the combination of capital, or the complementarity of intelligence, force, etc., it's all beneficial and harmless to us."

Hearing this, the surprise in Lei Te's eyes deepened. He touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well... it sounds like a good choice, but I would like to ask, have you and the Jin En family ever united like this in the past?"

"Of course not." Count Nero shook his head: "Marquis Leiter should have heard that the other party planted spies in our family a few years ago, which destined us to have an irresolvable gap. Moreover, this is not the point. , and more importantly, our two families are at the same level, competing in many aspects, fighting openly and secretly, and the so-called alliance is superficial at most.

After all, we are equally powerful. In essence, neither of us obeys the other, but we are also wary of each other's hidden conspiracy. It is difficult to truly integrate into one another. It would be nice if we could coexist peacefully and not interfere with each other. "

"But you are different, Marquis Leiter. You are the pearl of this barren land on the southwest border. You are destined to make this land that is ignored by many people in the kingdom shine." Count Nero changed the topic and his eyes flashed when he said this. He said with a hint of enthusiasm in his tone: "You have infinite potential and sufficient strength. In the face of your absolute power, you can suppress some conspiracies. Your force guarantee is the basis of true peace, so that everyone can obey Your schedule for closer union.”

Leiter looked directly at the other person, paused for a moment, took a deep look at the other person, and said: "Count Nero's vision is indeed extraordinary."

"Your light is so dazzling that anyone who is not blind can see it." Count Nero said modestly.

"Haha, okay, there is no problem with the alliance. We can discuss it slowly later and leave it to the people below to discuss how to cooperate." Leiter said with a smile: "But regarding the marriage, I should have stated before that my All three sons are married, so it’s difficult to agree.”

"No, no, no, Marquis Rhett misunderstood. This time I came here to discuss a marriage for Jaina." Count Nero waved his hand and said, "I have learned in advance that Master Tucker has an older son who is about the same age as Jaina. I think the two of them are very suitable."

"Dick and Jaina? Well, I need to ask Tucker for his opinion on this matter." After listening, Rhett pondered for a moment and gave an answer.

"No problem!" Count Nero was a little happy when he heard it. The other party did not directly refuse, which meant that there was a chance, and the success rate was quite high. After all, the head of the family has the right to make decisions on everything. If he did not refuse, the marriage would be a sure thing.

The two continued chatting for a few more words. Not long after, the dusty Thales walked in from the gate. He had heard about Count Nero's visit when he was in the manor, and also saw the strange knight outside, so he greeted politely after entering: "Count Nero, long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Count Nero was also quite enthusiastic, and took the initiative to stand up and hug Thales.

"Taylors, it looks like you have returned triumphantly. How was your bandit-suppression trip this time?"

Rhett said with a smile. More than a week ago, he received news that bandits had killed, looted and massacred in the southwest border, and many villages and civilians suffered. Although it did not happen in his territory, now as a marquis of the southwest border, he could not sit idly by, so he sent White Hat to take Thales to suppress the bandits.

To be honest, it was a bit of a waste of talent, but in order to facilitate Thales to harvest destiny points, it was still safer to send White Hat, a sixth-level magician.

"Suppressing bandits?" Count Nero was stunned for a moment, then a little surprised: "Could it be the bandits with the fourth-level earth knight? I met some victims on the way here. I heard that the group of people did all kinds of evil, burning, killing, looting, and spared no men, women, old or young."

"Yes, it's them, a total of more than 20 bandits, and the leader is indeed a fourth-level earth knight. They have all been killed!"
