One thousand two hundred and twenty-seven chapters found
Seeing that no one could stop Harder anymore, Harder was about to step in when he saw the owner of the castle, Mei, finally walking from behind the scenes to the front.
"Mei, you are indeed here." When Hade saw Mayi appear, he had already thought of a lot in his mind. Instead of having a good impression of Meiyi before, he became slightly hostile towards Meiyi.
May also saw Harold's look in her eyes, but he didn't care. Originally, when Harold didn't come back within the set time, the creditors came to seize his manor and property. His sister Bella initially refused.
I thought about staying in Hulumos and waiting for Harold to come back. But later I heard that Harold had encountered pirates and had been buried in the sea long ago, so I had to accept the reality in despair and took my children to Hulumos immediately.
Si, came to take refuge with him.
Now he doesn't know why Harold, who was rumored to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, came back to life. But since he met the pirates, even if he can escape with the care of God, his goods must have been stolen.
Pirates plundered it.
A bankrupt Harold, what else can he fear?
As for the faces and attire of the people behind Harold, he had never seen them before, but May didn't care about them, guessing that they might just be people Harold met on the road.
...
Seeing the real master appear, Han Du's eyes lit up and he turned to Zhu Biao and asked: "Your Highness, let's go and have a look too?"
Zhu Biao knew what Han Du was thinking, and he wanted to see the outcome of this matter, so he nodded and agreed. From now on, it seems that Hader has taken good care of Mei in the past. Logically speaking,
, if Mei remembers a little bit of Hard's past kindness, he should also take good care of Hard's wife. But judging from the current situation, the current situation of Hard's wife may not be so optimistic.
May showed no shame as she had been hiding just now, but instead asked: "Harold, you led people to break down my door and rush into my castle. What exactly do you want to do?"
After hearing this, Hader glanced at Mei and said, "Bella, your sister, brought her children to seek refuge with you. Now I want to see them, and I want you to bring them out. You won't say
,They haven’t been here before, have they?”
Originally, May really wanted to deceive Harold, but seeing Harold's determined look on his face, he thought that he came here only after getting the exact information.
Then he smiled and said: "How could it be? My sister did come to me with her children. Originally, I wanted to let them live in the castle. But she said she still had somewhere else to go, and they had already left."
"Leave?" Harder sneered twice, "Bella doesn't even have a single relative here except you. She has no money and has two children. How could she leave?"
Mei shook her head expressionlessly, "Then I don't know, but my sister did say that at the beginning."
Hader didn't believe May's words at all. He pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I want to go into your castle and have a look. If Bella and the child are really not here, I will leave."
May's face suddenly darkened and she shouted sternly: "Harold, this is my castle. You can't come in without my permission."
As May finished speaking, a large group of slaves rushed out of the castle and stood behind him, holding various farm tools in their hands. They stared at Hader eagerly and demonstrated to him.
"Do I have to go in?" Hader faced Mei's large number of slaves without any fear. He alone would not be an opponent of so many people, but he had elite warriors from the Ming Empire by his side.
Hader had seen with his own eyes the power of these pro-military forces. Killing people was as easy as breathing for them.
Although there were many people around Mei, they were not even militiamen, just a group of serfs.
May felt that he had the upper hand, and became more and more rude to Harold. "Harold, if you want to force your way in, don't blame me for treating you like robbers and beating you to death."
Not only was Hard not frightened by May's words, but he laughed loudly: "May, I broke the law by breaking into your castle. But don't forget, if I proposed a duel with you, it would be reasonable.
legal."
Duels are sacred here. If one person proposes a duel to another person, he can indeed ignore the laws of the city lord's palace.
A duel is not a casual fight, but a fight to the death. The duel will not stop unless one party surrenders and gets the consent of the other party. But usually, once two people get into trouble, a duel is needed to resolve the issue.
At this point, the possibility of forgiving the other party is very small. Therefore, the duel has always been a life-and-death fight until one party falls down and dies.
Mei did not directly agree to Harold, but stared at him with a gloomy face, assessing the opponent's fighting strength.
Hader proposed a duel, but he looked relaxed, as if he didn't care about Mei at all. He turned around and walked to Han Du, leaned down and bowed, "Master Marquis, Hader wants to borrow the firearm of the Marquis.
.”
Borrow a revolver?
Han Du was surprised when he heard Hade borrowing something. He gestured with his hands and asked, "Shouldn't you use the same weapon in a duel? For example, if you use a broadsword, he also uses a broadsword?"
"Who said that?" Harder was surprised by Han Du's words. "Master Marquis, everyone is good at different weapons. Some are good at daggers, some are good at swift swords, and some are good at scimitars. Since it is a duel,
Naturally, everyone should use the weapon they are best at. Otherwise, if a person who is good at daggers is given a swift sword and he can't even use it, how can he duel?"
So that's it. Han Du nodded and thought this was reasonable. After all, every weapon has its own way to deal with various weapons. It doesn't mean that the one with the bigger weapon will definitely win.
Later, Han Du asked curiously: "Then what are you good at?"
Hader shook his head and said: "I'm not good at any weapons. As a businessman, I only need to spend money to hire mercenaries to protect myself. I don't need to specialize in training any weapons. But I have only seen the power of the Marquis' firearms.
After that, I felt that the weapon I was best at was this kind of firearm."
Han Du was dumbfounded when he heard this. In such a sacred duel, others are holding knives, but you want to take a revolver? He also said that your best weapon is a revolver. Han Du wanted to ask Hader, "Have you ever touched this thing?"
Once?"
This is simply shameless!
However, seeing that Hard was on his side, Han Du didn't bother to argue with him. He took out the revolver from his waist, handed it to Hard, and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"
"I know." Harder took the revolver with a face full of joy, "Harder has seen sailors in the fleet use it."
Han Du pointed at Hader worriedly, "This is the safety, and downward is closed. You can't pull the trigger at this time. You need to pull the safety up first, so that it is open. Aim the muzzle.
Enemy, just pull the trigger. Don't point your gun at us, otherwise I will order you to be killed immediately."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, Harder understands." The use of the revolver is extremely simple. Fleet sailors have taught him these things, so Han Du's instructions only allowed Harder to review them again.
Han Du saw Hard holding the revolver skillfully and opened the safety. He nodded towards him and indicated that he could pass.
Holding the revolver in one hand, Hader walked up to Mei and said with a smile: "I have chosen my weapon. It's your turn, what do you choose?"
May didn't answer. He looked at the revolver in Harold's hand, although he didn't recognize the thing. It looked like it was not even as good as a machete. It couldn't be used to chop, and could only be thrown out to hit people.
But its exquisite appearance always gave Mei a very dangerous feeling.
In addition, May didn't think Harold was a fool. There were all kinds of swords to choose from, but he chose this seemingly useless thing.
Such a thing is either really useless, or it is extremely powerful. Combined with the confidence on Harold's face, May thinks it should be the latter.
Besides, he, Mei, is not one of those mercenaries. He does not need to sell his force to earn a living. He has never fought a duel with anyone.
After much hesitation, Mei still gave up.
"Okay, since you want to see Sister Bella, then I'll let you see her."
Hearing this, Hader nodded immediately, "Okay, let Bella and the children come out quickly."
May said at one moment that Bella had left, and at the next said that they were here. Such capricious villain behavior had already let Hader know what kind of person May was. But now he was eager to
Seeing Bella and the children, I was too lazy to argue with May.
Mei had to lower her head and give instructions to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, but he had to obey May's order to bring Bella and her son out.
As Bella and her son were brought out, Hader's face was full of smiles when he saw his wife. But the moment he saw Bella and the children, his face couldn't help but darken.
In his memory, Bella was originally a beautiful wife with a good face, but now in front of him was a person with a withered face, sallow skin and thin muscles. Had it not been for the fact that the facial features and eyes were still familiar to him, Hader would have been a little afraid.
Recognize each other.
There are also clothes. Bella used to wear soft and thin leather or fabric, but now Bella only wears an old linen dress, which is even tattered.
When Hader saw them, Bella and the child also saw him. There were looks of disbelief in the eyes of the three of them. The three of them froze in place for a long time and did not come back to their senses. When Bella came to her senses, she was suddenly happy.
