Chapter 192 -42- "Yu Sanjia"

As the most prosperous city in the North and a well-known port in the Crescent Kingdom, Beigang is always so lively and busy.

However, Beigang today is even worse than before.

In the port facing the Xingyue Strait, one sailing ship after another sailed from the north and south, slowly docking at the deep-water dock of North Port. These sailing ships were large and small, including the most common two-masted sail, and some that had only been introduced in recent years.

The gradually rising Carrick barque.

Different from the sailing ships that usually conduct maritime trade, each of them hangs a variety of flags, each with more elaborate and complicated emblems depicted on the flags, and many of them are directly engraved on the canvas.

That is the coat of arms of the nobility, and each coat of arms represents a noble family.

The Castel Bridge, the only direct passage from the mainland of the peninsula to North Port, was also busy. Gorgeous horse-drawn carriages gathered from all directions and drove towards North Port, and there was even a spectacle of traffic jam.

Like the sailing ships in the port, these carriages are all decorated with exquisite coats of arms on their sides, each representing a noble family.

Beigang City guards wearing uniform chainmail have already lined up on both sides of the bridge, guarding from the mainland all the way to Beigang City, maintaining order.

Looking at the coats of arms that are rarely seen on weekdays, but whose names are well-known in the North, the caravans entering and leaving North Port had to make way to both sides, so that these might be riding in the carriages of barons or even viscounts.

Go in first.

The passers-by and merchants passing by all cast curious glances at the carriages of noble nobles, and there were many comments and complaints:

"Damn it! What's going on today? It's not the Pioneer Day, so why are so many nobles here? We are still in a hurry to load the goods at the dock!"

"Loading? I'm afraid you have to wait until tomorrow. Beigang is very busy today. I heard that a banquet will be held at the Earl's Mansion, and the Earl will summon all the nobles in the territory."

"All the nobles?! No wonder! I said I just saw the carriage of the Leglis family! And it was escorted by their armored knights!"

"Hey, Len Castel's carriage is here too. It entered the city a quarter of an hour ago."

"Len Castel? So two of the three viscounts have already arrived? Where's the Romain-Fol family?"

"I don't know. They never participate in events at the Earl's Palace. Who knows if they will come, but... I heard that someone saw a black Carrick sailboat in the outer harbor. It looks like it belongs to their family."

"Damn! If I had known that Castres Bridge was so blocked, we would have taken a boat into the harbor!"

"Then I'm afraid you won't be disappointed. The port is even more congested. I heard that many cargo ships have to anchor outside the port because there are not enough berths. Don't forget, the most important thing for the nobles of Castel is ships. You can think of it.

Yes, people have thought of it a long time ago."

"Shit! Can't these nobles arrive a few days in advance?"

The caravans complained, but the rulers of Castel had no choice but to give way.

As the source of all evil in this great congestion and the center of it all, the Count's Palace of Castres was also bustling with activity.

Carriages and long boats coming from all directions gathered here.

The longboat docked at the waterway berth of the Earl's Mansion, while the carriage entered the square on the side of the mansion, led by a deacon in black and white clothing.

The nobles in gorgeous clothes disembarked and got out of the car under the service of their servants. Their eyes swept over each other's family coat of arms and greeted each other with smiles.

Either elegant and reserved, or flattering and ingratiating, or tit-for-tat, or smiling with a hidden knife.

Everything depends on the family status and past relationships of the two parties greeting each other.

However, whether they are the arrogant "big nobles" or the cautious upstarts, the moment they step into the gate of the Earl's Mansion and face the greeting deacon of the Earl's Mansion, they will put on an elegant and decent smile.

Show respect to Castells wherever possible.

Madoc Oran stood in front of the Earl's Palace.

The mayor of North Port personally took over the duties of the steward of the Earl's Palace, put on a Castel's butler's uniform, and with a smile directed the deacons and maids of the Earl's Palace to guide the nobles attending the banquet.

Suddenly, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly forward surrounded by knights, and the leader was the Baron of Chalon who was escorting Charlotte north.

Seeing the cross-cut family emblem with a black eagle and silver shield painted on the side of the carriage, some minor nobles voluntarily moved out of the way. Beigang Mayor Maddock was also in high spirits. He personally greeted him with a smile on his face.

What's more.

At the same time, a young male nobleman dressed in fine clothes jumped out of the carriage, then turned around and helped an elderly nobleman get out of the carriage.

Seeing the old nobleman, Madoc took a step forward. He first nodded to the already familiar Baron of Chalon, then saluted the old nobleman and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Viscount Leon Castell, welcome to North Port. You have had a hard journey along the way."

Then, he looked at the young nobleman beside him and said with a smile:

"This is your eldest grandson, Lord Derek. I heard that he is already a Knight of Stars at a young age, and I am afraid he will be a Silver Moon in the future."

After listening to Madoc's words, the young male noble was obviously very affected by it, and even straightened his waist a little.

The old nobleman smiled gently, shook his head and said:

"Him? He's still far from it. He's already twenty years old and still rough. It would be great if he can take over the heavy responsibility of Len Castel."

"You are being modest. I heard that Lord Derek has already become a Knight of the Stars at the age of eighteen. He is extremely talented in sword skills. It will definitely be no problem for him to become Silver Moon like you in the future."

Madoc laughed.

The old nobleman smiled, shook his head and said:

"If we really talk about talent, the Earl is the most powerful. I heard Sharon say that the Earl was already a star when he was not yet an adult, and it seems that he has awakened to become a star. The Earl is the real genius!"

As he said that, the old nobleman asked curiously:

"Sir Maddock, I heard that the truth about the depletion of mithril has been found out in the mine? Is someone secretly controlling the workshop? What is going on?"

"As you know, we in Lenland are in the south. Although we have the dividend rights of the mine, we have never been very involved in the management of the workshop. We only have a marginal steward."

After finishing speaking, the old noble looked a little solemn:

"Such a big thing has been hidden for so long. It's not simple behind the scenes..."

Beigang Mayor Maddock sighed:

"Yes, I see that the Earl has been in a bad mood these past few days after he came back from the workshop. I'm afraid things are more complicated than imagined, but...the Earl didn't tell me the specifics, so I don't

Very clear."

As he spoke, he smiled again:

"However, if you have anything you want to know, maybe you can ask the Earl directly. Len Castel and the Earl's Mansion are one and the same. They are all one family."

The old nobleman sighed:

"Speaking of the Earl, I feel deeply ashamed. If I had known that the Earl had gone through so many difficulties at Castel Manor, I should not have come back in the first place. I should have been with you all the time."

After hearing what the old noble said, the young noble on the side couldn't help but said:

"Grandfather, there is nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that Lady Elena would degenerate into a blood demon."

"As for the silver mine... In my opinion, it must have something to do with the Leglis family. After all, their fiefdom is closest to the Silver Mining City. I heard that when the Earl was reorganizing the mining workshop a few days ago, Legris

The steward of the Si family is still talking back to the Earl!"

After hearing what his eldest grandson said, the old nobleman frowned slightly, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with his interruption.

But the next moment, along with a chuckle, a lazy female voice came from behind them:

"Oh? Isn't the Len Castel family pretty well-informed about the news? It seems like they don't know anything about the mine!"

Hearing this voice, Madoc's eyes twitched. He raised his head and looked up, and saw a gorgeous girl in a burgundy aristocratic dress gracefully stepping out of the carriage and walking over under the escort of armored knights.

On her turbulent chest, there is a silver badge with a pattern of a fire dragon on it.

Recognizing the girl's identity, Madoc quickly saluted again:

"Lord Viscount Leglis, welcome to North Port."

The girl nodded slightly to Madoc, then glanced at the young noble Derek, and said to Viscount Len Castel:

"Your Excellency Amory, you'd better take good care of your heir. I, Laura de Leglis, have a clear conscience about the Castel Silver Mine, and the honor of our Leglis family does not allow it.

Being so slandered!”

"To have such an ungrateful successor, to be honest, I am really worried about Len Castel's future."

After hearing the girl's words, the old nobleman frowned slightly, while Derek on the side snorted coldly and said:

"The Leglis family respects its military, and Castel is well known. Who knows what role you play in the mining workshop?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the girl contemptuously:

"The Leglis family, which was once all-powerful in the Star-Moon War, now only has one woman in power. It seems that the Leglis family is really going to decline."

After hearing Derek's words, the beautiful girl's expression changed slightly.

But soon, she chuckled again and said to Beigang Mayor Maddock:

"Your Majesty Maddock, have you seen that? The Leon-Castle family looks down on our Earl from the bottom of their hearts. They seem to have forgotten that our Earl is also an excellent woman!"

After saying that, the girl raised her head again and said to the nobles around her:

"Did everyone hear this? The Leon-Castle family looks down on female nobles!"

After hearing what the girl said, the nobles passing by looked strange and started talking about it.

Derek's expression changed and he said in a panic:

"No, I'm not...I didn't!"
