Chapter 174: Maggie's Surprise

Despite the shock, the dinner at Rennes' house continued, but the whole atmosphere became a little weird.

It's like winning five million in the lottery in a previous life, and the whole family will be very happy.

But if you win one billion, the family will be happy and think a lot, especially the adults.

At this moment, Old Ren and Emma's minds were still in chaos, with all kinds of thoughts coming to them.

For example, what should I wear if I become the mother of a baron?

In addition, what should we pay attention to in our words and deeds so as not to lose Ren's face?

Will other nobles laugh at these two bumpkins?

Only my sister Mint was eating happily as always.

Suddenly, Mint's big eyes flickered twice, as if he had thought of something, and said, "By the way, brother, Sister Jenny, who is wearing very nice clothes, came to see you today."

"I said you weren't here, and then Sister Jenny didn't say anything and left."

"Huh?" After thinking about it, Ren nodded, indicating that he understood.

at the same time.

The county town of Meister.

On the second floor of Baron Norman's family residence, there is a luxuriously decorated study room.

Baron Norman, dressed in an aristocratic hunting attire, was frowning at a pile of materials on the table.

On these papers, a person's name appeared invariably - Renn.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Baron Norman raised his eyebrows and said.

His son Dennis walked in with a happy face and said, "Father, I feel that I have hit some kind of bottleneck. I should try taking advanced potions."

When Baron Norman heard the news, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Not bad."

However, Dennis was greatly disappointed. What he had expected was his father's high praise for him, not just a calm expression saying "not bad".

In the scenario he imagined, when his father expressed high approval for him, he would take the opportunity to propose a marriage with the Crawley family.

Because when he was practicing with the divine blood recently, he thought a lot about the beauty Baroness Crowley.

But the difference between the scene now and what he expected was huge.

Dennis didn't dare to say anything. He looked at his father's expression. Although his face was still as expressionless as a sculpture, as a son, Dennis could feel that his father's mood didn't seem to be that good.

After thinking about it, just when he was about to ask, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the familiar name on the desk file - Renn!

Um?

So much material, all about Renne?

Dennis’ pupils suddenly shrank!

Only then did he realize that his father, who had always been a strong man, was actually troubled by this farmer's son!

Dennis was a little confused.

Didn't my father say that he had left this matter to an old friend who was almost foolproof?

how

After pouting twice, Dennis finally asked, pointing to the materials on the table, and said, "Father, is there something wrong with this?"

Baron Norman's expression darkened, he sighed and nodded.

This couldn't help but make Dennis anxious.

A problem actually occurred again!

Damn it!

Damn it, could this farmer's son be the illegitimate son of the goddess of luck?

I sent people over one after another, but they couldn't kill the opponent!

"Father, this. How is this possible!"

"Didn't you say that this old friend of yours has a record of killing great knights?"

"Even if your friend's strength declines, killing an official knight should be as easy as killing a chicken!"

After hearing his son's question, Baron Norman did not answer immediately. He had been thinking about this question just now.

The study fell into an eerie silence for a while.

After a while, Baron Norman seemed to have organized his words, and his deep voice sounded:

"I didn't get any news from Adams in the past two days, so I had doubts and went to his store to have a look."

"As expected, something went wrong."

"Soon, I got this information through several friends who worked in functional departments."

Having said this, Baron Norman pointed to the information on the desk.

Dennis immediately reached out, picked up a document and read it, only to see a paragraph on it, which seemed to be copied from an official document:

"Ten days ago, Adams, the most wanted criminal in the Empire, was surrounded and killed by the combined efforts of Sheriff Hamilton, Deputy Sheriff Wren and dozens of Night Watchmen in Goldshire, and was successfully killed."

"Work together to encircle and suppress?" Dennis couldn't help but murmured when he saw these words.

No wonder he missed, it turned out to be besieged!

Dennis seems to have found a reasonable explanation.

After all, the empire's paramilitary force, the Night's Watch, is not an uncoordinated group of fish like the bandits, but a fighting group with a tacit understanding of one plus one that is greater than two.

Of course, the most important thing is that the strength of my father's old friend has declined too much.

Just as Dennis was lost in thought, Baron Norman added something almost ‘earth-shattering’!

"In addition, I got the latest news from Alonso, that is, this Renne has just passed the nobility canonization assessment of the Province of Münster and was awarded the title of baron!"

"What!"

"baron???"

Hearing the news from his father, Dennis' eyes suddenly widened like walnuts, and his mouth was so wide open that a whole roasted chicken could almost be stuffed in.

Damn, is there such an outrageous thing!

He was still complacent about being able to take advanced magic potions, but in the end, this pariah turned into a noble!

Moreover, he was a baron!

This is the same title as his father!

This former pariah has a higher status than himself, the son of a baron!

At this moment, Dennis felt that the towering "superiority" in his heart had collapsed!

"Impossible, this is impossible! It must be a mistake!" After a few seconds, Dennis blushed, his chest rose and fell violently, and he refuted emotionally.

"The imperial official letter arrived in the county two days ago, and Alonso was the one who handled it. Now the relevant information has been handed over to Count Habsburg." Baron Norman did not say anything to refute, but calmly stated a fact.

As if someone had poured a basin of ice water on him, Dennis' body trembled a few times, and then he calmed down immediately.

He knew that even if his father and Baron Alonso could make mistakes, Count Habsburg would not, and the Empire would not.

When he thought that if he saw Ryan in the future, he would have to salute first and address him as "Baron", Dennis felt more disgusted than eating warm dog shit!

After being stunned for a long time, Dennis came back to his senses and asked unwillingly: "Father, what should we do now."

"I'll find a friend later."

Hearing this, Dennis resisted the urge to question his father. Find a friend?

However

After a pause, Baron Norman continued: "If it doesn't work, I will directly ask Ryan for a 'bloody duel'!"

Dennis was so excited to hear this. He had long wanted his father to take action and directly get rid of this farmer's son.

As for why his father couldn't challenge Ryan to a duel openly before, he also knew it very well.

Because if a noble challenges a commoner to a duel, he will be condemned by other nobles and even the Imperial Senate.

In addition, the most important point is that commoners can refuse such unfair duel requests.

Now that Ryan has become a baron, his title is equal to his father's, which makes duels feasible all of a sudden.

In addition, duels between nobles are divided into "bloody duels" and "ordinary duels". Ordinary duels end when one party admits defeat, while bloody duels end when one party dies!

However, bloody duels must be submitted to the local governor for approval and must be conducted in a designated place under the witness of multiple supervisors.

"Father, are you sure?" Although Dennis has absolute confidence in his father, who has a rich resume and a strong record, he still can't help asking.

"I paid a lot of money to buy a secret medicine before, and there is news that there is a pharmacist in the imperial capital who is willing to help make it. After I take the medicine, I can repair my body's hidden injuries and restore my peak combat power."

Baron Norman did not answer Dennis directly.

"Great! If you can recover to your peak state, Ryan will definitely lose!" Dennis's face was flushed with excitement.

"Okay, I'm going out for a while."

Baron Norman was seen sitting in a carriage and came to a low-rise building with strict defenses - Meister County Prison.

Baron Norman got off the carriage and came to an office after being informed by the guards.

After a while, the middle-aged man Maggies, who was dressed in the uniform of the prison guard captain, appeared.

When he saw the arrival of Baron Norman, there was a trace of barely detectable surprise in his eyes.

Why did several nobles in Meister County suddenly become interested in contacting their Zalal resistance army recently?

After a brief greeting, Baron Norman said his intention:

". So, as long as your organization can kill the new Baron Ryan, then the Norman family can agree to the request made by your organization before." Baron Norman said in a deep voice.

Maggies was so surprised that he almost cried out!

But his years of experience as a spy made him hold back this impulse.

Ryan again?

What did this Ryan do?

Why did Alonso and Baron Norman in front of him want to kill him.

If it was really as they described, then. Can this Ryan be absorbed into the organization? Magis suddenly had an idea.

After all, faith can be brainwashed, no, it can be converted!

Magis calculated the time. Five days have passed. There must be a result within a week.

In addition, he did not expect that one thing could do two favors, so he gestured with an index finger and said:

"Of course, no problem, one week! Baron Norman, I can give you an accurate answer within a week!"

Baron Norman looked at the contact person of the rebels with a scrutinizing look. He always felt that the other party looked at him strangely at that moment.

In addition, the other party's answer was too sure, so sure that he didn't believe it.

Forget it, he came here with the attitude of giving it a try.

His many years of experience in sea battles told him that the most reliable thing is his own strength.

After returning, he should try to revive the secret medicine!
