Chapter 237 Philip's Ambition (4k)

Standing in the sun for the first time in a long time, looking at the towering city wall, Roya stepped forward.

As usual, the mercenary checked Roya's package and said nothing. There was nothing hidden in the package, so he handed it over to the other party for a search.

The mercenaries were two young men. They opened the package and found that it was just some ordinary clothes. They nodded and were ready to let it go.

But the moment they looked up and saw the boy, their expressions froze instantly.

"Magic Swordsman Roya?"

The guard next to him slapped the guard's forehead heavily, and shouted loudly with dissatisfaction on his face: "Don't you have eyes? How can you be so rude to my noble magic swordsman?"

After saying that, he secretly looked at Roya. Although the soldier was loudly scolding his reckless partner beside him, he was actually covering up.

Small people naturally have their own way of survival, and there are many rules and regulations.

Luo Ya hadn't reacted yet, but then he suddenly remembered what he had done not long ago, and couldn't help but smile. The soldier in front of him was indeed interesting, but Luo Ya didn't care much.

There are two kinds of people in this world who are respected by others.

One is a person with particularly strong strength, and the other is a person with high power.

Both of these people have their own pride, and not everyone will line up and wait for a body search like Luo Ya.

Some strong men or noble lords are very arrogant, and doing this is undoubtedly equivalent to slapping them in the face.

So many times, facing those famous adventurers or noble lords who ran out to play, the guards will let them in directly.

The queue inspection for entering the city is more targeted at those merchants and ordinary people in Luo Ya.

And those powerful adventurers will almost all report their names very arrogantly, and then walk directly into the city. Those nobles are even more arrogant, and they don't even look at them, and they just pass by them.

As for these guys, the guards didn't stop them.

Are you kidding? How many copper coins do you make every month? Is it worth taking this matter seriously?

So they turned a blind eye and didn't dwell on this trivial matter too much.

Of course, this situation is limited to normal times. If it is a war, it will be another matter.

What is Roya's reputation? Although he only showed a little bit of strength, even this little bit of strength is enough for these leisurely adventurers to brag about it all day.

Adventurers are definitely the most numerous in the world. Those adventurers are very well-informed. Recently, they have been bragging in the tavern and almost exaggerated Roya's strength.

Roya shrugged and smiled and said, "Then, can I go in?"

The pedestrians behind him showed some surprise when they heard Roya's name, and some showed strange expressions.

Ignoring the surprised or strange expressions of the crowd, Roya picked up the package and walked towards the inner city.

The roadside stalls were filled with all kinds of things, and miscellaneous items were placed on the table at random, with vendors hawking on both sides.

It was already autumn, and many fruit vendors appeared.

Most of the fruits were of strange and bizarre varieties. Just by looking at their appearance, it was impossible to tell what similarities there were between these things and the things in Roya's memory in his previous life.

Although this town was not very prosperous, nor was it the capital of a country, it was indeed very lively.

There were many pedestrians coming and going, among whom were some adventurers. Those guys wearing armor and hanging a long sword on their waists looked around.

The cat-eared beast girls on the street looked at their eyes and subconsciously dodged, then hurried away from these guys.

Of course, there were also some brave ones. Those beast-eared cat girls glared back with full momentum.

This had nothing to do with Roya. Roya just took a few glances and rushed straight to the palace at the top.

The distance from the bottom of the city to the top was not far, but Roya still took about half an hour.

It had been a long time since I saw familiar things, and it was worthwhile to spend a little time on the road.

Familiar noisy voices came to my ears, and the rough men were hawking, and life was as usual.

When Luo Ya came to the door with the package, the guard at the door stepped forward and stopped in front of Luo Ya.

Just like the scene at the gate of the city wall, the moment they saw Luo Ya, the two servants lowered their heads and leaned over to say: "Master Luo Ya, welcome back."

Luo Ya was a little surprised by the servant's title. He didn't remember when he became the young master in their mouths.

However, Luo Ya didn't have the time to correct the two people's titles. He just called him the young master. He didn't care about the change in the title.

Luo Ya nodded and walked directly into the mansion.

Walking into the door, what caught his eye was a familiar scene. According to the memory left in his memory, Luo Ya walked through the corridor and strode towards the living room.

Recalling the memory in his mind, his room was in the upper right corner of the living room. Going up the stairs and going up one floor directly was the house where he had lived for a while.

However, when he came to the living room, Luo Ya was noticed by someone.

"You are back, Luo Ya."

Sitting on the sofa, the handsome young man who was leaning lazily on the chair spoke like this.

Luo Ya nodded, thought for a moment, and gave a noble salute, saying, "Good morning, Mr. Philip."

Luo Ya hadn't used the noble salute for a while, and he felt a little rusty.

Phillip smiled, pointed to the sun which was almost noon, and joked: "Now is not the time to say good morning."

After speaking, he winked at Roja.

Roja was indifferent to Philip's teasing, and did not take up Philip's words. Instead, he asked curiously: "How is Rudeus? He didn't cause trouble with you, did he?"

Phillip shrugged, sat on the sofa and said casually: "Rudi? He should be training at this time."

Luo Ya said lightly "Oh" and prepared to move forward.

"etc."

Philip called Roja, and Roja's movement about to move forward paused slightly, and he looked back at Philip.

"Is there a problem?"

"You haven't been home for so long, don't you want to sit down for a while?"

Philip pointed to the chairs in front of the table.

Roja nodded, picked up the package and sat down where Phillip pointed.

The chair was made of mahogany. Roya couldn't tell what was special about this kind of furniture, but just by looking at the stripes and exquisite workmanship, he knew that it was expensive.

After Roja sat down, Philip called the butler and prepared to make a pot of tea.

As if he thought of something, Philip asked: "What would Roja want to drink? Black tea or something else?"

Luo Ya hesitated and said: "Black tea, of course, put more sugar."

Luo Ya doesn't like drinking black tea, but it seems that he has never seen anything else except black tea in the mansion.

The butler nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

For a moment, only Roja and Phillip were left sitting opposite each other in the living room.

Phillip looked at the boy he hadn't seen for a while, with a strange look in his eyes.

This is a young man who looks more like a noble than any noble, to be precise, both in terms of his appearance and his temperament.

In this world, there are very few people with bright blond hair, but there is no doubt that those royal families with orthodox bloodline all have such beautiful hair color.

However, what really surprised Phillip was not the boy's appearance, but his temperament.

Although he was simply sitting there, and the young man did not deliberately show any aura, Phillip felt inexplicably inferior to him.

Roja didn't speak, and Phillip didn't speak in a hurry. He suppressed some complicated emotions in his heart and slowly tasted the tea in the cup.

The tea in Phillip's cup was also black tea. After taking a few sips slowly, Phillip slowly said, "I heard that you have gained a lot of limelight recently."

Roja glanced at the guy in front of him, but after all he couldn't hold himself back and asked directly: "What do you want to say?"

A smile appeared on Phillip's face, and his brown eyes narrowed slightly. Phillip stopped being secretive and said directly: "What do you think of my daughter?"

Roja's expression became playful, and Roja said directly: "Alice is a good child."

Phillip raised the corners of his mouth with a faint smile and continued to wait for Roja's words.

Roya paused and continued: "If something happens to her, I will feel very sad, so if I can help her, I will help her. What do you think? Mr. Philip."

Phillip's expression remained unchanged and he put down the tea cup with his right hand, still smiling.

"Your father, Paul, should have inherited the mantle of the Graylat family, but don't you feel it's a pity to be deprived of the position of patriarch? That position should have been his, and it will be yours in the future."

Philip began to try to induce Roja.

Roja was unmoved. His golden pupils looked directly at Phillip. Roja said, "This is his decision, and that guy Paul ran out on his own."

"But don't you have any ideas? If we go by common sense, he is the next clan leader. He can have many things, rights, money, everything at his fingertips."

Roja's smile gradually disappeared, and he listened to Phillip's words expressionlessly.

"So what?" Roja suddenly said.

"What do you mean, so what? The Graylat family is the upper-class nobles of the Kingdom of Asra. In the royal capital, the family also has a great say, which is not something this small place can match."

Phillip explained patiently, not paying attention to the impatience in Roja's tone.

At this time, the housekeeper came up and came to the two of them with a pot of brewed black tea.

Phillip sighed, closed his mouth, stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, and did not continue to speak.

Pour the brewed black tea into Roya's cup, then scoop out half a spoonful of sugar and put it into the cup.

After all this was done, Phillip said calmly: "Butler, please step aside."

The housekeeper nodded, retreated, and closed the door to the living room.

Roja did not directly take the tea on the table, but tapped the table with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

Philip frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the behavior of the young man in front of him. Roja glanced at Philip, and finally asked: "Why do you think my father gave up that position?"

Without giving Philip time to answer, Roja said to himself: "I know what my father is like. I'm afraid he couldn't stand the complicated etiquette and chose to run away from home, right? From your mouth, I only heard the benefits of becoming the so-called head of the family, but Do you really think those benefits are really so-called benefits to me?”

Philip was silent and did not speak.

Roya continued, "We are not from the same world from the beginning. Just as this border is too small for you, this country is also too small for me."

"The position of Chief Greylat is indeed very tempting, but how about it compared to the seven great powers?"

Philip heard this and wanted to mock the boy, but after seeing the boy's eyes that seemed to be smiling, he couldn't say any mocking words.

Seven great powers.

How many people in this world can be called the seven great powers?

The seven heroes standing at the top of this world.

Reality is always more cruel than ideal. The reason why heroes are heroes is that they have accomplished feats that ordinary people can't imagine.

"Do you mean that you can become one of the seven great powers?"

Roya smiled without saying anything, but there was unparalleled confidence in his eyes.

Although Roya may still not be able to defeat the Dragon God, it is hard to say for those below the Dragon God.

Philip didn't say anything else. His outstretched hand trembled slightly. He wanted to pick up the tea placed aside. The trembling hand showed Philip's excitement.

That's right, Philip was very excited at this moment.

A sword king is enough to give Philip enough confidence.

The arrival of Gilenu made Philip's political enemies restrained a lot.

Personal force may not be able to solve all problems, but when the strength is strong enough, it has the confidence to overturn the table.

And to become one of the seven great powers, at least one skill needs to reach the legendary god level.

Philip stood up and bowed deeply to the handsome man in front of him.

"Then, if anything happens to us, please protect Alice."

Luo Ya looked at the man in front of him and felt a little funny.

Is Philip the kind of person who takes his daughter very seriously?

No, although Philip will give in to Alice in many things, once it comes to important things, he doesn't mind sacrificing Alice in exchange for what he wants.

For example, what he wants to plan at this time.

As Luo Ya said, this border fortress is too narrow for him.

Smart people are always proud, especially smart people like Philip. He is confident that if he is given power, he will be able to display more talents and create more value, instead of being an unknown little lord in a frontier fortress.
