"The messenger of Baron Boris of the Black Rock Territory?" Nalant was a little confused. He didn't seem to be familiar with this baron.
However, since the messengers have been sent, it is natural that they need to be received.
"Bring him to the hall!" Narante ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Quick quickly exited the restaurant, and Nalant also stood up and headed towards the hall.
…
"I have met Sir Narante. I have been ordered by Baron Boris to deliver a letter of visit to Sir!" Soon, Quick came to the hall with Boris's messenger.
The weapon on the messenger's body had been disarmed. After seeing Nalant, he saluted with great respect, and then presented an exquisite gift card with both hands that looked like a greeting card from his previous life.
"Visiting post?" Nalant was stunned. He naturally understood the meaning of the visiting post. It was a post sent between nobles before they came to visit, so that both parties would not lose etiquette due to abruptness when they came to visit.
But why did the good-natured Baron Boris suddenly come to visit him?
While Narant was wondering, Thomas had already taken the visiting note and handed it to Narant.
Narant simply didn't think much about it and took a look at what the post said.
I opened the post and checked it quickly. The post was very general and polite. The general content was that Nalant became the new lord of the Storm Territory, and Boris, as the lord of the Black Rock Territory, was not only a neighbor to Nalant, but
He is also a vassal of the Tulip family.
Therefore, he, Boris, specially came to visit Nalant, his new neighbor, in order to enhance the relationship between them, so that the territories of both parties can develop and take off together in the future.
Moreover, it also states that Boris will arrive tomorrow.
Narant read this post but could not get any useful information from it.
He didn't believe a word of what the letter said.
It has been almost a month and a half to enhance the relationship between each other. If Boris really had this intention, he should have come to visit him long ago.
Moreover, this is a place of misfortune, and the nobles are not in a hurry to hide. No noble will dare to visit me in a short period of time.
The strangest thing is that Boris's courier only arrived tonight, and he himself will come tomorrow morning. In this form, it doesn't matter whether the visit note is sent or not.
"I have finished reading the gift letter. Does your Baron Boris have anything else to tell you?" Nalant looked at the messenger.
"Dear Sir Narante, my lord has nothing more to say!" the messenger immediately replied respectfully.
"Well, then you go back and tell Baron Boris that it is an honor for me, Nalant, that he can come to the Storm Territory as a guest. I welcome his arrival very much and will definitely wait for his arrival tomorrow!"
"Yes, Sir Nalant, I will tell my Lord the truth when I get back!"
"Yes!" Nalant nodded and looked at Thomas, "Thomas, take him down to eat some food and rest for a while!"
Afterwards, Thomas left the hall with the messenger. However, because Boris would arrive tomorrow, the messenger did not stay overnight. He simply ate some food and returned to the original route without stopping.
…
"Sir, this Baron Boris's sudden visit may be for a reason!" After the messenger left, Thomas returned to the hall again to discuss with Nalant.
"Well, his visit this time is indeed a bit unexpected, but no matter what, it is a formal visit after all, and we must receive him well as a vassal belonging to the Earl!" Nalan actually had some vague speculations.
But I'm not sure yet.
Not long after the commoner named Laurie Grocer returned with the caravan, Baron Boris came to visit unexpectedly. Narant thought that this was most likely because of the brown sugar and black bread.
"Yes, sir! The young man will go down now and start making preparations!" Thomas responded immediately.
"Go for it!"
Nalant nodded. If Boris really came here for brown sugar, it would be exactly what he wanted. After all, his white sugar had just been produced. He was originally thinking about how to get a group of nobles to accept the white sugar from his Storm Territory. Maybe this
Reese is a breakthrough.
Next, servants and guards throughout the castle became busy.
If a noble comes to visit you, if you are not well prepared, you will lose your dignity when the time comes, which will directly affect Nalant's reputation.
In this aristocratic world, aristocrats often interact with each other based on face, so Thomas is even more cautious.
Fortunately, the servant team happened to be expanded today, and the manpower is barely enough.
The guards, led by Quick and Vivian, began to clean the leather armor and swords that were stained by training.
The next morning, when Narant got up and came downstairs of the castle, the whole castle had changed its appearance inside and outside.
A long red cloth carpet has extended from the castle corridor to the castle gate.
There are many colorful flags planted inside and outside the castle. These things were purchased by the team from Tulip City last time.
"Sir! Good morning!"
Narant walked through the corridor. The servants also looked brand new today, all wearing brand new linen servant uniforms.
"Well, have you seen Shirley?"
Because Boris will come to visit today, the felling of trees in the Blazing Forest has been temporarily stopped today, and Vivian and Shirley did not leave the castle.
"Sir, Shirley is playing with bees on the side of the castle!"
"Well, then go and get busy!" Nalant nodded and headed directly towards the side of the castle.
There were also several fruit trees in the open space on the side of the castle, and the bees' nests were placed here. When Nalant arrived, he saw Shirley interacting with the bees.
"Sir, you are here!" When Shirley saw Nalant, she immediately smiled and trotted up to him.
"Shirley, I have a task for you!" Nalant said with a smile after the little loli jumped up to him.
"Sir, what's the mission?"
"I want you and Vivian to go to Quint Territory and buy some milk!" It's pitiful to say that although Nalant has the unique white sugar in this world, he can't even afford milk, because Storm Territory simply doesn't have milk.
There are no cows.
"Okay, sir!" When Shirley heard that she could go to Quint to get it, she immediately opened her mouth with joy.
"Okay, then you go find Vivian and go with her. By the way, use your bees to explore the way and don't attract the attention of Quint's guards!"
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Shirley said goodbye to Nalant and trotted off to find Vivian.
