"Ferdinand, Hathaway, what are you two looking at?"
With the help of the maid, Annabelle walked up to the observation deck holding her long skirt and asked the father and daughter.
The cool night breeze made her pull the scarf around her shoulders, and Annabelle's arrival completely broke the deadlock.
Marquis Ferdinand Luther turned to look at Annabelle, his expression softened a little, and he asked in a calm tone: "Annabella, did your trip go well this time?"
"Not bad!" Annabelle replied.
She and Marquis Luther were siblings. She had the best relationship with Marquis Luther before she got married. Later, she became a countess after marrying in Constantinople. Every summer, she would return to Marquis Luther's manor in Bena City.
Stay for a while.
"Auntie." Hathaway's eyes were a little red.
The fight in the street continued, with five constructed swordsmen surrounding Surdak. Fortunately, both sides were relatively restrained, at least not drawing their swords yet.
"Hey, who messed with our Hathaway?"
Annabelle walked over and hugged her niece in her arms. Both of them had a pair of eyes as gorgeous as emeralds, which was said to be the embodiment of the bloodline of the Luther family.
Hathaway's face turned red, and she glared at Marquis Luther angrily, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Annabelle hugged Hathaway, leaned against the wall of the observation deck, and said to Marquis Luther: "I have seen that young man... He came to Bena City with us by airship."
Marquis Luther was slightly startled and asked Annabelle curiously: "Which young noble family is he from?"
Annabelle said with a smile: "I didn't ask his name on the airship. I just played cards at a card table. He was a taciturn young man."
Marquis Luther nodded and asked again: "Annabella, do you want to intercede with Hathaway?"
Annabelle sneered: "I don't want to interfere in your affairs, Ferdinand, I just think you and Hathaway need to sit down and talk. As for this young man from Helensa City, do you really
Do you want to arrest him? Or do you think that letting him disappear from Hathaway's eyes will completely solve the problem?"
Then, Annabelle turned to Hathaway and asked: "The problem between you and your father will occur in every noble family. At first, like you, I hated your grandfather very much for a while, but then
Think about it, since you are enjoying a privileged life, you need to do something for the family. If you want to reconcile with Luther, show your sincerity. I think this matter can be resolved only by making a concession on both sides."
Hathaway remained silent
Annabelle persuaded again: "Hathaway, I know how much your father loves you, and he will always give priority to your feelings, but there are some things you must do for the sake of the family. This is your responsibility."
Hathaway raised her head and sniffed, with a hint of rebellion in her green eyes.
Although her eyes were full of willfulness, she said to Marquis Luther: "Let him go. I am willing to attend the meeting the day after tomorrow. I will do what I should do."
"Are you serious?" Marquis Luther looked at Hathaway seriously and asked.
Hathaway stared back at Marquis Luther without giving an inch, as if she felt there was no need to answer again.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Marquis Luther nodded and said to the captain of the guard beside him: "Go and inform Nathaniel and let that young man leave!"
The guard standing aside said, "Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Marquis Luther put his arm around his sister Annabelle's shoulders and was very happy for her arrival, and the group walked down the observation tower.
It wasn't until Marquis Luther was done that Beatrice came up from the side and stood next to Hathaway. She reluctantly looked at Suldak who was being forced to retreat by a group of constructed swordsmen on the street.
He sighed softly.
…
The street looked deserted, but the street lights on both sides were very bright.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street at this time.
Five constructed swordsmen pressed forward from five directions, trying to surround Surdak. Their idea was also very simple. They just wanted to collect Surdak's sword hanging on his waist.
Ke didn't use his weapon, and the constructed swordsmen naturally didn't draw their swords either.
Surdak didn't want to keep his hands tied, so he used his arm to block a heavy punch from the leading swordsman.
He wore a hard leather wrist guard on his forearm, but even so, the punch of the leading construct swordsman almost broke Surdak's wrist.
Surdak snorted and immediately punched the guy.
The only price for Surdak's punch was that the surrounding constructed swordsmen completely surrounded Surdak.
Surdak put on a defensive posture and used the strongest part of his body to block the fists and kicks of the constructed swordsmen. In the process, Surdak was not without the power to fight back. He would occasionally make a move.
He punched back and soon his body was covered with footprints.
Fortunately, he has a strong physique and was not injured in the random punches and kicks of the Constructed Swordsman.
According to the imperial decree, the weapons of knights are a symbol of the power of the empire. Countless knights form an army that defends the country. They have the right to carry weapons with them. Even the knights of the guard camp have no right to interfere with this.
That's why Surdak had the courage to reject these constructed swordsmen.
Surdak looked very embarrassed when surrounded by five constructed swordsmen. The swordsmen had a strong balance and cooperated with each other very well. They cooperated with each other to attack Surdak, forcing Surdak to
Panting, if Surdak hadn't had solid basic blocking skills, he would have almost been blasted by these five constructed swordsmen.
Although there is no shield on his arm, the habit he developed during battle makes him still like to raise his arm when attacking.
Surdak did not activate the knight's aura of power, and every collision was a contest of strength.
Only those who have been on the battlefield can feel it,
A fist sneaked up from the side of his ear. As Surdak turned sideways, he ducked his head to the side, barely avoiding the punch, and casually hit the constructed swordsman with his sword.
A sneaky kick from the side hit him in the ribs. Suldak felt a sharp pain, and his body flew out uncontrollably. He fell on the bushes on the side of the road and smashed a bench.
Wait for Surdak to crawl out of the bushes.
The Constructed Swordsman pounced on them again without hesitation, and once again got mixed up.
"Nathaniel, the Marquis has ordered us to let you go!"
Just when Surdak was completely in a state of being beaten, a personal guard ran over from the main entrance of the manor and said to the constructed swordsmen.
"Okay, everyone, stop the team!"
The construct swordsman immediately stopped and gave a thumbs up to Suldak. Without saying a word, he turned around and left with a group of construct knights.
The personal guard also looked at Suldak curiously, and then turned and returned to the manor.
Surdak looked a little embarrassed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was punched hard by the constructed swordsman, and it was now swollen.
I received a few solid kicks on my body, but I still felt a little bit of pain.
He tried to move his legs and feet, but found that there was nothing serious, so he limped onto the magic caravan.
He didn't expect that Hathaway's family could actually mobilize such a powerful swordsman. When he sat back on the sofa in the carriage, he glanced at the manor hidden in the night. Unfortunately, he couldn't see what was inside the manor in the dark.
view.
Suldak waved to the carriage driver who was standing stunned on the street again, indicating that he could come over.
The carriage driver tremblingly climbed onto the driver's seat of the magic spray car. Regardless of the damage on the carriage, he raised his whip and urged the damaged magic caravan to quickly leave the aristocratic area.
It wasn't until the magic caravan had completely driven out of the aristocratic neighborhood that the coachman slowed down. Seeing that no one was catching up behind him, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Surdak sat in the carriage of the magic caravan and used holy light to heal the bruises on his body.
Return to hotel.
…
I've been staying in the hotel for the past two days and haven't gone anywhere.
The entire Bena City seems to be discussing the strange events that happened at Bradbury Manor.
Everyone is curious about something that happened at Bradbury Manor. After all, it is a crystal key related to the Red Dragon Treasure. It is said that if anyone finds the Red Dragon Treasure, he will immediately have a large fortune.
Of course, there are mixed opinions about the Bradbury family.
A large part of the citizens thought that everyone was too careless in Bradbury Manor and did not carefully search for the relief groove on the wall, so they did not discover the crystal key hidden inside. When the rebels came from Bradbury Manor,
The magic crystal that was stolen was probably fake.
There are also some citizens who believe that there is a teleportation circle with some attributive properties engraved on the magic crystal, which will automatically return to Bradbury Manor every once in a while based on the hidden summoning circle on the wall. For this reason, some people have
Trying to break into Bradbury Manor again and take a look at the magical wall.
It's just that this time, these gangsters who took advantage of the chaos and tried to sneak into Bradbury Manor were almost all stopped outside by the knights of the guard camp.
Finally, some people believe that the magic crystal that reappeared is simply fake and has really fallen into the hands of the rebels.
Surdak sat in front of the dining table, silently listening to the strange ideas and eating his lunch in silence.
After finishing lunch, Suldak sat in the restaurant for a while, then walked to the stables behind the hotel courtyard, took out his ancient horse, and asked the hotel waiter about the equestrian training ground.
Leave the hotel on horseback.
I took Gubo Laima for a few laps in the training ground to let Gubo Laima stretch his body, and then returned to the hotel before dinner.
During this period, he sent some letters to Hathaway, but did not receive a reply.
I don’t know if they were severely punished after they went home that night.
…
On the day of the meeting with Luther, the sun was shining brightly outside the window.
Surdak got up from bed very early, took advantage of the morning time to take a bath, used a skinning knife to shave the beard on his chin neatly, and began to awkwardly put on a noble dress.
After noon, Suldak came out of the hotel riding an ancient Bolai horse.
Following the address left by Marquis Luther in the letter, Suldak first walked into the wealthy area. Suldak found that the scenery on both sides of the road was somewhat familiar.
When he rode horseback to the gate of Marquis Luther's mansion, he realized that he had been to this place the day before yesterday. The street outside happened to be the place where he fought with a group of constructed swordsmen.
Suldak was still thinking: What a coincidence. Hathaway is actually a neighbor of Marquis Luther. It seems that Hathaway's family has the same important people as Marquis Luther.
There was a wide open space at the entrance of the manor. The Luther family emblem was erected in front of the gate. Suldak came to the big iron gate.
The guard at the door quickly came out and asked Surdak what he wanted to do.
Suldak jumped off his horse and took out Marquis Luther's letter from his arms. The guard at the door took the letter from Suldak's hand. When he saw Marquis Luther's personal seal on the letter, he quickly winked at his companions in the concierge.
, and put on a smile and said: "Our Lord Marquis has not gone out, it seems that he is waiting for you in the manor!"
"Wait a moment, I have sent someone to report to the Marquis." The guard at the gate said.
Not long after, the gate of the manor was completely opened by the concierge guard. Two guards stood at the door and saluted Surdak.
Surdak rode a horse into this gorgeous manor. He first passed through a long doorway at the gate, then walked inside along the main road in the front yard of the manor for a while, and finally came to the edge of a fountain.
The ornate main building is located behind the fountain, with a team of guards standing on the steps.
Surdak came to the bottom of the steps and jumped off his horse.
"Baron Suldak, the Marquis has been waiting for you for a long time!" A guard stood on the steps and said to Suldak with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Surdak seriously. When he saw Surdak's face, he was obviously slightly suffocated.
However, his expression soon recovered and became even more complimentary. The guard asked a servant on the side to take the reins from Surdak's hand, and then led Surdak up the stone steps. He looked as tall as a castle.
Building, Surdak sighed in his heart at the rich heritage of the Luther family.
Walking up the steps step by step and entering the splendid hall on the first floor, Suldak stepped on the soft carpet and felt like he was falling into the clouds.
Marquis Luther and his wife were waiting in the hall on the first floor. When they saw Suldak walking in from the door, Marquis Luther and his wife quickly stood up to greet him, and said to his wife Marianne with a smile: "Baron Suldak
He's here, don't underestimate him, he has repeatedly made military exploits in Wozhimara City in the Maca plane, and almost all the guards in the city defense department know him..."
"Go and see if Hathaway is ready. If so, call her over!" Hathaway's mother, Lady Marianne, said to the maid beside her.
"Yes, ma'am!" the maid quickly turned around and trotted upstairs.
Suldak walked up to Marquis Luther and stood up straight. When he saw Marquis Luther looking at him with great energy, Suldak also felt hot in his heart. Without Marquis Luther's recommendation, he would probably never be able to do it for the rest of his life.
Can't cross the threshold of nobility.
"Lord Marquis Luther!" Suldak gave a military salute to Marquis Luther and said.
"Madam!" Although Suldak did not know Mrs. Marian, he also knew that she should be the wife of Marquis Luther, so he also gave a military salute.
Mrs. Marianne looked at Suldak with a smile and soft eyes. Seeing his upright posture and dignified appearance, her first impression was naturally very good, so she stretched out the back of her gloved hand in front of Suldak...
