There was silence in the Hall of Heroes.

Except for the Qiyuan City envoy who was extremely familiar with Ian, almost everyone, including the six Earls, stared in disbelief at the man who was standing on the seat with a big smile and raised his arms.

His Excellency Viscount Ronny Jr.

It's like looking at something strange.

Thales had to lower his head and cough lightly, then poked Ian's leg.

Ian, who was immersed in his own world, moved slightly and seemed to finally realize the awkwardness of the situation.

He retracted his arms angrily, jumped off his seat, and waved to the entire hall with a stiff smile: "Hey, everyone?"

Only then did the nobles in the hall recover from their jaw-dropping surprise, and they all turned their heads or coughed unnaturally.

He seemed deeply ashamed of this scene in the Hall of Heroes.

The five Earls, who had been so aggressive before, said nothing. They just sat there with ugly expressions on their faces and looked at each other.

Thales, who was watching, chuckled in his heart: Well done, Ian, for interrupting their increasingly aggressive questioning.

Faced with such unreasonable people and such inexplicable situations, how should they react?

"Did this clown get your permission to stand here and insult all of us?" Count Curterson turned to the Grand Duchess, his eyes were cold and his expression was stiff. Combined with his military uniform, he looked like an ice wall:

"Miss?"

Thelma was about to answer.

"Madam, ladies and gentlemen," Old Boney, the nobleman from the Qiyuan City mission who had reprimanded Ian, suddenly stood up tremblingly and bowed to the Grand Duchess in his seat with a tragic and heartbroken look on his face.

Bowed: "This is just a joke. On behalf of Qiyuan City, I will treat Ian's behavior..."

But before he could finish his words, Monty, the Death Crow beside him, suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed his shoulder, and forcibly pressed down the confused old Boney.

Ian blinked and nodded slightly to Monty, whose lips were slightly raised.

At this moment, the Grand Duchess in the seat finally seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and she coughed.

"Everyone," Thales could see that Thelma was looking at the livid faces of the earls and holding back a smile when she spoke: "This is Mr. Ian Ronny from Qiyuan City, Ronny

The eldest son and heir of the Grand Duke, Viscount Fengcheng."

"He came with the mission of Archduke Ronnie."

Ian smiled friendly and bowed slightly to the Grand Duchess.

The earls all looked at Ian, but no one showed surprise. Instead, they were more relieved that "it's true", which made Thales think: maybe they already knew who Ian was.

"Qiyuan City, Ronnie," Cotson looked at Ian from a distance, and there was a slight solemnity in his eyes: "I have met your father, 'Long Hair' Kulikun is a respectable man, what he said

More trustworthy than a long sword, I also respect the Ronnie family, the model knights of the Northland for thousands of years."

The corners of Ian's mouth moved slightly, half-smiling.

"But when I saw you, boy?" Earl Curtson shook his head disdainfully: "I am so ashamed of your father and family."

There were bursts of laughter among the vassals.

Thales saw Ian's eyes flash slightly.

"Both each other," Qi Yuancheng's heir sat down in the most relaxed manner, "When I saw you, I was also ashamed of Longxiao City and Her Excellency the Grand Duke."

Ian snorted: "A count who hides outside the city when disaster strikes. When his master dies in battle, he is unscathed."

Earl Curterson's face turned cold.

"If I were you, coward," Ian pretended to yawn, repeating what Curtson had just accused the Fallen Stars of: "I would have found a place where no one was around to commit suicide as soon as possible, instead of staying shamelessly next to the Grand Duchess.

, pretending nothing happened."

The Fallen Starman beside the Grand Duchess frowned slightly.

This sentence is like the momentum thrown into the lake, creating huge waves.

The whole hall of nobles instantly became excited!

The nobles, especially the five earls, stared at Ian with a nonchalant expression, as if he was their father-killing enemy.

Thales breathed a sigh of relief: Hey, this little Ronnie is really talented.

"Say it again, Viscount," Earl Curterson gritted his teeth, highlighting the other party's title: "Then you and me, we can duel."

Ian laughed.

"certainly!"

He waved his hand boldly: "Duel!"

Thales was shocked: Wait, Ian is...

But before he could figure it out, the heir of Qiyuan City snapped his fingers, turned over his hands without any scruples, and pointed at the Qiyuan City envoy with a relaxed expression: "And I will name Ned from Qiyuan City.

Lord Monty, let him fight you with full authority on behalf of my honor! Life or death!"

"How about it?"

In the distance, Monty, who was scratching his neck, froze instantly.

The counts stiffened their expressions again and looked at Ian.

Ian maintained a smile on his face.

In a duel, looking for an agent?

Is this guy... really from the North?

Thales exhaled: Fortunately, Ian is still the same Ian and will not suddenly turn into a heroic and heroic man who regards death as his own.

"In the face of a duel, you hide behind the Death Horn Crow?"

Earl Curtson looked at Monty, who looked helpless, and then at Ian, with unbearable anger in his voice: "Cowardly, you are really a disgrace to us Northlanders."

The nobles in the hall all snorted, laughed, or even cursed with disdain.

But Ian was happy with these looks, as if he didn't feel anything.

"Thank you," Ian crossed his legs, crossed his arms, and shrugged: "It's my honor to bring shame to you."

The atmosphere in the hall was detonated again, and protests and curses from the people of the North came in like a tide.

Thales sighed softly and patted Ian on the shoulder.

You're good at it, man.

At this moment, when the order was about to get out of control, the clear and sweet voice of the Grand Duchess suddenly sounded in the buzzing hall.

"Everyone, everyone!"

Among the low protests from a row of men, Thelma's high-pitched female voice seemed extremely special: "Now is not the time for us to fight among ourselves!"

Boom!

Nicolai punched the wall next to him with a fierce punch!

The sound in the hall gradually became quieter.

Following the movements of the Fallen Star, the Grand Duke's guards in the hall all raised their weapons as if they had been rehearsed, and smashed the wall next to them with a straight face.

Boom!

The dull but deafening sound resonated in the hall, causing all the angry nobles to quiet down.

People couldn't hide the expressions on their faces and all looked at the highest seat.

Thelma glanced at Regent Lisban, and after getting his approval, she tried to finish what she wanted to say: "No matter how we view Sir Ian, we cannot ignore the most important thing at the moment."

"Qiyuan City brought bad news on the Golden Corridor," the Grand Duchess took a breath: "Twenty years ago, the Freedom Alliance, which bowed its head before the former king's soldiers, recently tore up the agreement signed with my grandfather."

"Everyone, the dignity that we personally regained for Exter twenty years ago has been violated again."

The Grand Duchess's voice fell.

Ian snapped his fingers, spread out his hands in a disdainful look, and made a "that's it" gesture.

No one spoke.

Thales closed his eyes: Here we come.

Real drama.

They all seemed to be thinking.

Until the old Count Nagel spoke slowly.

"The cowards in the west finally got tough again," the Earl of Rock Hill and Hatting County sighed: "However, history always repeats itself again and again, and people still fail to remember the lessons."

Perhaps Exeter's state affairs seemed to have attracted the attention of the earls a little, or maybe it was related to their past wars. In short, the earls were no longer obsessed with the "shame of Qiyuan City", and even Earl Curterson also

He just snorted and turned his head.

It seems... Thales observed everyone's expressions and his heart sank:

They all know their priorities clearly.
To be continued...
