Chapter 96 William's temptation, Hill passed the test again
Hill had never understood before that even if Helen introduced the earl to Edward, there was nothing about him worthy of Edward's attention.
Count Perast was not a military aristocrat. A noble knight like him was just a flag-waving figure in the fight for the throne and would not receive much attention at all. However, he could directly enter Edward's palace.
Edward was even willing to withstand the pressure of the Krall family for him.
Edward himself had a slight advantage because of his status as the eldest son, and he would never speak out about Manton's inheritance rights easily.
However, he was absolutely willing to speak for the cardinal's lover.
Hill touched his face. Countess, the occasion when she could be seen by the cardinal should be the first year after marrying into the Perast family. At the New Year's banquet in the palace, the count must introduce his new wife to the public.
.
This is the tradition of the great nobles. Before the banquet officially begins, they get to know the girls who are new to society this year and the newly married ladies.
For many girls from great aristocrats, if they have nothing to praise, the most glorious opportunities in their life will only be these two opportunities.
The lady who was born into a minor noble will only make such a glorious appearance.
I didn't expect that just this once, someone would take notice of me.
Count Perast probably thought he had done a good business, but he thought Edgar was his child, but he didn't expect that the bishop didn't even give him any face.
Otherwise, according to common sense, no matter how many lovers she has, the lady should ensure that her first child is her husband's.
So as Edgar grew older and looked less like a Salar nobleman, did he start to doubt it?
Why did Edgar's hair slowly start to darken during his exile?
Hill remembered Edgar's brilliant blond hair when he was a child.
Think again about the brown and red-haired cardinals from the aristocratic church that I met in Kerslot.
He let out a long sigh.
Whether it was the countess's preparation or Edgar's good fortune, Hill didn't think there was any problem.
But the earl deserved his fate today.
If this is the case, the countess is fully qualified to seek revenge from the count.
At first, she would be so determined to abandon the earl, but now Hill feels it is understandable.
Fortunately, Hill helped Edgar in the first place, otherwise something happened to the child and he would feel sorry if he knew the truth.
Such a husband is not worthy of any trust at all.
Moreover, this lady probably didn't think that Edward's brother-in-law valued her much at first. Anyway, he was just using him to deal with the earl, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such bad luck.
Anyway, that person was killed by her.
Both of these people have wronged her, and the will of the world never thinks that revenge is wrong. Then the lady's camp will not be tilted much.
People in this world are basically neutral. There are very few people who are kind, but there are a lot of people who are evil.
William is not someone who kills without evidence, he also wants a fair and equitable priesthood!
It is estimated that this lady will be released eventually.
Even in the original world, this person was just an instigator!
At most, she can only confiscate her street, but for someone with a noble church behind her, this little money is nothing!
Hill scratched his hair. This was the count's own fault. No matter what the final result was, he didn't intend to care about it.
Tell Manton the truth when the time comes! He is the heir, and he should have to bear these things.
As long as Hill has a thicker skin, no one will mention it to his face anyway.
Hill walked to the terrace and looked at his beautiful valley quietly.
William, this guy, actually tested Adrian, and as expected he did not completely give up his doubts about himself.
But what did he think? Modern people wouldn't feel anything about these messy things, right?
Maybe it’s William, who doesn’t read novels and comics online? Doesn’t he also read those weird social software?
Or does he think that if Hill was really a modern person, he wouldn't tolerate such a shameful death for his biological father?
In fact, there are certain rules for the messy things of the nobility, but these rules are not in the traditional morality of the previous world, and the old-fashioned people really can't stand it.
Hill suddenly smiled. Did William leave an innocent impression on Hill because he saw the way Hill was trying to avoid the elf who threw himself into his arms?
Hill was just really afraid of trouble, and he really didn't care about the Earl as his father.
Well, Adrian's answer was just right. It's time for William to take back those strange observations.
Many times, Hill hid behind expressionlessly, not because he was shy, but because he was truly indifferent.
As for Olivia, even Adrian, the elder of the family, didn't intend to help her, and Hill wouldn't be so kind.
Hill now understands why Frank always said that if children from aristocratic families do not have good teachers, it is easy for them to go astray when studying magic.
This does not differentiate between men and women, it just depends on the character.
The things they have seen since childhood have always made them have a strong desire for power. Once they have achieved some results, they want more and stronger power.
No matter how good your qualifications are, if your character is not good enough, you will not be able to embark on the path of becoming a mage.
A suitable teacher will notice the students' shortcomings and find ways to lead them on the right path.
But the mage will not pay more for this student. During the trial stage, many apprentices may be given up.
What Adrian said should be true. Fran had chosen him before Melanie blindly married the count.
Hill understands Farlan's choice very well.
Both Adrian and Fran regard everything about the mage profession as their only pursuit, so they are on a steady path.
Even people like Karl Legend and Miller Legend were actually very determined people.
Even now, all their struggle is to find their own way in the future.
Instead of taking the right path, we compete for resources.
People who can become mages are actually very smart. It's not that they don't understand that their choices may be wrong, it's just that they choose the shortcut in their own eyes.
Talent is the foundation of a mage, but how far you can go will always depend on your willpower.
Just like Olivia back then, before she lost her ability, the quality she showed made both Hill and Adrian agree with her, so they gave her this opportunity.
However, after gaining power, she did not have the corresponding control and willpower, which made Olivia feel that her future was definitely not just a little priest in a rural town who was laughed at by the undead.
Hill let him go indifferently, even giving her the knights he trained. It didn't make her think that Hill was a good character. It just made her think that the priest of the God of Time and Space had a high status.
The final result of her expansion was to cause a big disaster, and even her family abandoned her.
Hill quietly reflected on his path over the years. Although he made some small mistakes, he had indeed always insisted on walking his own path without deviating.
Every time he sees these things, Hill will look at himself warily, but he must not go astray.
Hill was interested in another thing, Edgar, what did William plan to do with him?
In the eyes of people with a bottom line, children will always have privileges.
As long as Edgar himself is not tempted to betray Salar, William will have to use him more covertly.
Edgar is a very smart boy, and Hill really hopes that he can be stable, and if he can pass this test, then he might be able to enter the army directly under William.
That's where merit can be built.
Otherwise, as a son of a nobleman who followed Charles, even with Hill's letter of recommendation, Edgar would have no chance of becoming a garrison in a certain city, or at most, the garrison commander of that city.
But after William takes over, the undead may connect some of Obastian's affairs.
Hill decided to ask Lister to pay more attention to the conversation between the undead.
After knowing some news, they cannot hold back the joy of sharing it.
Unfortunately, all the live broadcasts of the undead on the giant screen must pass William's review. He cannot see the undead forum, otherwise Hill would know about it faster.
Hill really missed Xueyun Peak at this time.
When he has nothing to do, he will go with the fox to protect the group of monsters coming to Hill Valley.
Hill knew that he had established an order of wildebeest knights and an order of giant elephant knights.
The knights of the undead are groups of thousands.
This is from his own family.
Except for Black Rose, who built a wild boar knights through broken jars, the other families honestly relied on knights composed of various magical beasts and horses.
Elephants love to be in groups, so they are more willing to sign a contract with Xueyunfeng's family.
Other professions have a tacit understanding to form contracts with other Warcraft, and no one competes with the knights.
But now William has issued a mission to watch over Edgar. According to Xueyunfeng's character, he must be guarding Keslot's side.
A distinctive characteristic of the undead is that the task may not be completed perfectly, but bad things can happen very easily.
If Xue Laogou didn't arrange for someone to guard him day and night, but would squat aside and come forward at any time, he would be stabbed by one of his own sooner or later.
After all, it is the daily life of the undead to follow their whims and act as they please.
Careful planning and caution will only turn into "haha, that's funny" jokes in this daily life of trying to find every opportunity to be naughty and mischievous.
So Hill has always admired commanders like Xueyunfeng and others.
Let this group of unorganized undead, no matter how many things they cause in the process, the final result is still perfect, no matter how many brain cells it takes.
But now Hill just hopes that the undead people who come here will gossip more so that Liszt can summarize the general plot.
Perhaps Hill's prayers were a bit excessive, so there hasn't been any good news about the undead in recent days.
Until the old Sanda King came to the valley with a group of people.
Seeing them entering the forest together, Hill almost instantly sat in the small square near the fountain, waiting to listen to their conversation.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with Hill, and the undead would probably be unable to resist the desire to discuss it when they see him.
