After the coughing sound, the girl took a long and deep breath, and the sound of the inhalation was like a bellows.
After taking a breath, the girl's pale face recovered instantly, and she burst into tears.
"Grandpa!" The girl immediately stretched out her hand and looked at Duke Miller in front of her.
"Rita! Grandpa is here, okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Duke Miller rushed up immediately when he saw this, and then hugged the girl in his arms, groping the girl's face with his side face.
.
"Ah...this...this actually happened!"
"Yes, this is amazing. Just now, the young noble seemed to be holding the girl randomly and shaking her around. How could he squeeze out the choked fruit?"
"Do you think this young nobleman just got lucky..."
"Shh, please keep your voice down. This young nobleman has saved Miss Rita now. Be careful that Duke Miller brings you trouble..."
And when Duke Miller's grandfather and grandson hugged each other, the surrounding nobles finally reacted.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out that Nalant's seemingly careless method of injuring the girl by accident actually worked.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Cady, who was extremely proud just now and wanted to see how Nalant was dealt with by Duke Miller, now had a huge change in his face and murmured as if he had seen a ghost.
One moment he felt that this boy was no good, but the next moment he became Duke Miller's benefactor.
This is definitely a great favor, and it is done in front of a group of nobles at the highest level of the Nok Empire.
In this way, whether Duke Miller is willing or not, he must thank Nalant at that time. Otherwise, if this matter spreads out and Duke Miller does not thank him again, his reputation will be cast aside by the entire empire.
"Young man, thank you very much for saving my granddaughter. I am Miller. I wonder what your name is and which family you come from?"
When everyone looked at Nalant with expressions of envy and jealousy, Duke Miller finally comforted his granddaughter.
After handing his granddaughter to the servant and the magician doctor, he looked directly at Nalant and asked.
"Duke Miller, my name is Narant, and I come from the Holy Continent!" Narant was not proud, but spoke humbly.
"Oh, are you Narant?" Duke Miller's expression was very exciting. He didn't expect that the extraordinary young man in front of him was Narant.
Although he, Duke Miller, would not call the people of Glory Continent country bumpkins like the Dolly family did.
But he also looked down upon the people of Glory Continent. After all, he knew very well that spiritual power was scarce in Glory Continent and even there were no magicians.
But now Nalant's magnanimity is not at all inferior to that of the heirs and heirs of the great nobles in the empire, and must even be more magnanimous. This is really beyond his expectation.
Duke Miller immediately looked at Butler Milo, and Duke Miller immediately nodded, confirming Nalant's identity.
"Baron Nalant, you are indeed young and promising!" After confirming his identity, Duke Miller immediately praised Nalant.
The tone of this sentence is very serious, and it can be heard that it is not a polite speech.
Other nobles may not know Nalant's name, or they may not be able to remember Nalant.
But Duke Miller only learned about the Orc envoy yesterday, and he naturally still has fresh memories of Nalant, the lord who pioneered the plunder of the Orc.
"Duke Miller praised me!" Nalant remained humble.
"Well, come, Baron Nalant, come sit with me over there. Let's sit over there and talk. At this birthday party, you not only provided me with wine, but also saved my Rita. So, how about you
You are my distinguished guest, Miller!" With that, Duke Miller warmly invited Narant to the sofa area in the corner.
Moreover, Duke Miller even made a gesture of invitation in person.
When the nobles around him saw this scene, they all looked at Nalant with envy.
Duke Miller could make a gesture of invitation in person. Such a gesture could only be enjoyed by His Majesty the King in the entire empire.
"Who is this Nalant? Do you know? Duke Miller just said that he provided the wine tonight?"
"It sounds a bit familiar, but he just said that he is from the Glory Continent, so we probably have no idea!"
"I know who this Baron Nalant is, he is the lord of Stormland, and this wine is produced by Stormland!"
"Really or not, the wine is produced by him?"
"Sir, I'm afraid this is true. It was the Marquis of Umm who brought the wine back!"
"This... I didn't expect that the lord of the Storm Territory is so young. Not only is the territory rich in delicious wine, but it is also appreciated by Duke Miller. I am afraid he will rise to prominence very soon!"
"Yes, Baron Nalant is really lucky. Wine is the most delicious wine. Will he worry about making gold coins in the future?"
As Nalant left with Duke Miller, the crowd of onlookers immediately started talking.
When they learned that the wine was actually produced in the Nalant territory, the mentality of the nobles immediately changed.
Originally, if Nalant was just a lucky boy who got the appreciation of Duke Miller with this favor, they would still be a little jealous and feel that he was just lucky.
But now the wine that has become famous in the capital of Knock is actually owned by Nalant. That kind of person can only look up to him and find ways to win over and make friends with him.
Because, although such a person comes from the Glory Continent, even though he is only a baron, as long as nothing unexpected happens, his future achievements will definitely be immeasurable.
While the nobles who were watching were talking about Nalant with great interest, he retreated to the door of the hall with a pale face.
And with him was his father, Marquis Piccolo.
"Father, why did you call me here?"
"Bick, you go to the palace immediately and ask His Highness the Second Prince to come." Marquis Bick also looked solemn and told him.
"Father, are you going now?" Cady hesitated.
"Yes, let's go now. Is Nalant working with the Frank family?"
"Yes, father!" Cady nodded. Although this was the first time for his father to meet Narant, this name had been sent to him by the spy the day before yesterday.
"If that's the case, then I'm afraid the things we just discussed with Duke Miller will change!"
"No way, father, Duke Miller just did it and he won't care about this matter anymore!"
"Why not? Duke Miller cares most about his granddaughter, and now that Narant has saved his granddaughter, and in front of so many nobles in the royal capital, if that Narant proposes, then Miller
The Duke will definitely help!"
"Do you think Duke Miller's statement just now was out of concern for us and the second prince? No, Duke Miller is concerned about His Majesty the King and does not want His Majesty the King to think that he is involved in the overt and covert fights between the princes."
"So, if Nalant brings up the matter of the Frank family again, Duke Miller will definitely help this time."
"After all, he is repaying Nalant's kindness, and even the king will not have any objections!"
"This..." Kadi responded slowly. After listening to his father's words, he also realized the problem.
"Okay, go quickly, the sooner the better, otherwise Duke Miller will probably come to discuss with our Dolly family again later!"
…
On Nalant's side, Duke Miller invited him to sit on the sofa nearby.
Natasha and Baoer naturally followed.
Natasha did not shy away from the suspicion and sat directly next to Nalant, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
Although Natasha had admired Narant in the past, but this time she witnessed him saving a little girl from the brink of life and death, and the psychological impact was definitely greater.
Especially in this Nok Empire, all the nobles are helpless, even powerful men like Duke Miller are the same.
But in just over ten seconds, Nalant completed something that everyone thought was irreversible. Needless to say, the pride and satisfaction in his heart.
Duke Miller glanced at Natasha and Bauer without saying anything, but said to Nalant: "Baron Nalant, I don't know what method you just used, how you forced the magic potion fruit."
from?"
Although Nalant's actions just now seemed chaotic and useless.
But now that I think about it carefully, Duke Miller can conclude that Nalant was very confident when he stepped forward, because he looked very calm at that time.
"Duke Miller, this is a first aid method in my hometown. It is specially used to rescue people who are choked by food or foreign objects. The name of this method is the Heimlich maneuver!"
"This method relies on quickly getting on the stage and squeezing the human abdomen to pressurize the upper body... Well, it can be understood as if the opening of a skin bag is blocked by something. If we squeeze the skin bag hard, the blocked object will be squeezed out easily.
This is the method I just used!"
Nalant didn't hide it and gave an explanation directly.
The Heimlich maneuver is the simplest and most effective way to treat respiratory obstruction in the past life, and there is no shady principle in it, so naturally it can be told to everyone.
It would be best if this method could be spread, and it should be able to save many people in the future.
"It's like this. This method is indeed magical!" Duke Miller heard the use of skin as a metaphor and instantly understood the principle behind it, and couldn't help but praise it.
"By the way, Baron Nalant, you saved my Lita today, so I will definitely thank you. I don't know if you have anything you want. Just tell me, as long as I, Miller, can
Whatever I do, I will try my best to be satisfied!”
After saying that, Duke Miller was worried that Narant would be too preoccupied or embarrassed to mention it, so he continued: "Baron Narant, you don't have to be polite to me. No matter what request you make, you deserve it. I, Mi
Le’s granddaughter is definitely the treasure in my hand!”
Seeing Duke Miller's sincere expression, Narant knew that Duke Miller did not look like a conceited person. He glanced at Natasha and Baoer and immediately said with a smile: "Duke Miller, actually I don't have anything to mention.
After all, for a lovely girl like Tully, anyone would lend a helping hand."
"However, since you said so, Your Excellency, there is something I want your help with. This is also the reason why I came to the capital of Nok."
"This is about the Dolly family's suppression of the Frank family!"
"Baron Narant, are you sure this is what happened?" Although Miller had already expected it, he was still a little surprised. "Baron Narant, in fact, you can also change other requirements, such as changing the fiefdom and so on."
"As long as you are willing, I, Miller, can accept you as a noble of the Nok Empire, or even directly expand it to an area the size of a count territory!"
"County?" Nalant did not expect Duke Miller to be so generous.
Now that Duke Miller has spoken in person, this territory will definitely no longer be like the dangerous areas on the Black Rock Plain, but a relatively safe and wealthy territory in the hinterland of the empire.
Such a territory, as long as the Nok Empire does not fall, can probably be passed down from generation to generation. It can really be called a great noble family.
In addition, now that he has such a relationship with Duke Miller, as long as he works harder in the future, this relationship will definitely be maintained, and he will probably be able to live safely in the Nok Empire.
However, Nalant was very satisfied with his new storm collar and did not want to replace it.
Moreover, he had too many secrets and was not suitable to stay in this hinterland, so he smiled and shook his head: "Duke Miller, thank you for your kindness, but I still like the unrestrained feeling!"
"Baron Nalant, I'm afraid you don't know, but just over a week ago, the Orc Empire sent a mission to our Holy Alliance."
"And they're still here for you!"
"Come for me!" Nalant was obviously taken aback.
"Yes, these orcs plundered their border tribes because of you some time ago..." At that moment, Duke Miller informed Nalant about the orc mission in detail.
"Baron Nalant, so I think your best choice now is to change your territory and come to the hinterland of our Nok Empire."
"In this way, even if the orcs want to cause trouble for you, it will be impossible!"
"Although we have frictions on both sides, I am convinced that the orcs will not dare to start a real war between the two races for the time being!"
The reason why Duke Miller wants Nalant to join the Nok Empire so much.
One is to repay a favor.
The second is that he is optimistic about Narant's prospects.
Although I have only heard about it, whether it is wine or leading people to rob the orcs, this is enough to show that Nalant is different.
If possible, it is naturally best to bring such talents into one's own empire. After all, they also have competitive relationships with foreign races and other empires in the Holy Alliance.
Duke Miller felt that since he had told Nalant the news in advance, he would definitely choose to join the Nok Empire.
"Duke Miller, thank you for your kindness, I still decided to stay in the Black Rock Plain!" However, contrary to Duke Miller's expectations, Nalant once again firmly rejected his invitation.
Duke Miller took a deep look at Nalant and found that for the first time he could not clearly understand the thoughts of a young nobleman.
"Narant, since you have such a choice, I will no longer persuade you. But if your territory really encounters trouble in the future and there is no other way out, you can come to me!"
"Next, let me help you solve the Dolly family's affairs!"
Duke Miller paused for a moment and shook his head, not prepared to dwell on it any longer.
