Chapter 9 The Arrival of the Earl
As soon as Merck entered the town of Noril, he saw Lord Nubis running down the city wall in a hurry, and then hugged him tightly.

"Cough cough..."

Being hugged so hard by this strong man made Merck a little out of breath.

"Master Merck, you are back, I thought..."

An iron-blooded middle-aged man was so excited that he shed tears at this time.

Anyway, this was the second time Merck wished to see Nubis cry in his body's memory.

The first time was at his investiture ceremony.

Nubis began to follow the Donner family when Lucy Donner was a baron.

After decades of loyalty and meritorious deeds, he won the trust of Lucis, and finally became a lord from a commoner and became a retainer of the Donner family.

As for Merck, Nubis grew up watching him grow up with deep feelings.

The result of this war has spread to the Sarris Empire, and the gloom of the fiasco has swept across the country.

On the other hand, Nubis discovered the bodies of Viscount Lucis and the soldiers who were marching all over the place yesterday afternoon, but Merck was not among them.

In great grief, Nubis sent dozens of people to look for him.

But he found nothing, and he still had a little luck in his heart, until he saw Merck come back intact, his excitement was beyond words.

Until then, Nubis began to look at this dark-skinned humanoid creature.

Then, his brows were slightly frowned, obviously recognizing the lost elves as a race, and judging by his attire, he also had a certain status in the lost elves.

But this evil lost elf would stay with Merk, and even live in peace, which puzzled him very much.

Merck obviously saw his concerns, so he explained: "This is my prisoner."

Then he showed a kind smile at Totai and said, "Don't be so nervous, come on, have fun."

Totai immediately showed an awkward but polite smile.

"Uncle Nubis, can we go home first, I haven't had a serious meal in the past few days while fleeing, I'm going to starve to death."

"Hey, once I saw you came back safely, I forgot everything in my mind."

"I asked Bain to make you your favorite ham."

The simple answer allowed Merck to capture some information keenly.

For example, Nubis didn't mention his cheap father, Viscount Lucis, during the whole process, nor did he mention the 300 elite soldiers from Noril Town who followed him on the expedition.

It is estimated that it is more or less ominous, and Nubis saw that Merck escaped from death, and did not want him to know the bad news so soon.

I still have a little impression of Lucis Murk in his previous life. An important novice village NPC in the Sarris Empire, if he gets his favor, he can also learn intermediate swordsmanship.

But it doesn't matter, if he dies, he will die. If he lives, it will affect Merck's future development.

Moreover, the long-term contact between the father and son will also expose the identity of Merck's traverser.

……

The residence of the Donner family is a small and exquisite castle, and there is a watchtower on the castle to observe everything in Noril Village.

There are also several hidden holes in the wall of the castle, which are convenient for crossbowmen to guard.

There is also a team of ten patrolling guards around to protect the safety of the castle, just like a small military fortress.

Following his memory, Merck climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

"Dengdengdeng..."

After finding the dining room, Merck lightly twisted the handle, found a place that looked pleasing to the eye and sat down.

About 10 minutes later, a chef about fifty years old walked in with a plate.

Followed by a few young maids, all of them are pretty and lovely, exuding a youthful atmosphere in their gestures.

But Merck said he wasn't interested at all.

Ah!Women are all stumbling blocks on my road to Merck leveling!

Before the plate was opened, Merck could already smell the rich aroma of meat, and his stomach made a "cuckoo" sound in response to the occasion.

Merck sliced ​​off a piece of meat from the ham with a silver table knife and brought it to his mouth with a fork, savoring the delicacy.

There are no additives in this world, it is clean and hygienic.

However, the taste is not good because there are only a few seasonings, and it is quite salty.

Shaking the goblet with his right hand, he put the wine in the glass into his mouth, his lips and teeth were filled with the aroma of wine.

But Merck didn't understand alcohol in his previous life, and he didn't understand why he drank it.

Anyway, it’s over if it’s delicious, and the adjective is just awesome.

Although he was very hungry, he still tried to eat some noble elegance so as not to wear clothes.

These nobles are good at everything, but they like to take off their pants, fart and slap their swollen faces to pretend to be fat.

However, Merck is also good at fortune-telling. How many people are envious of his status as a powerful nobleman.

These days, ordinary people can't even hope to have enough food, and they don't even have their lives in their own hands. This is the real tragedy.

Totai watched eagerly from the side, his eyes full of longing, but he didn't dare to speak.

After seeing Merck spotting his gaze, he hurriedly dodged his eyes aside, but after a short while, he continued to secretly glance at the ham from the corner of his eye, and his Adam's apple kept rolling up and down. Merck wanted to laugh at this scene.

The continuous day's journey really made the lost elf very hungry.

Cut the ham in two with a table knife, put it on a plate and push it in front of Totai, and handed him a pair of knives and forks.

"Eat."

After all, he might be used again in the future, and even let him be a second-five son, and he couldn't be treated like a regular prisoner, and he couldn't be too harsh.

Totai didn't bother to use the knife and fork, and directly grabbed the ham with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

Since he was pampered and pampered since childhood, when has he ever been hungry, and now his chest is attached to his back, so he doesn't even care about eating.

After a while, a whole piece of ham went into his stomach.

Wiping the oil stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, he looked satisfied.

Happiness is often that simple.

"Uncle Nubis, find someone to arrange a room for him, and then send two people to watch him, don't let him run away."

Nubis bent down slightly, and stroked his chest with his right hand.

"As you wish."

Not long after, two heavily armed soldiers walked into Merck's room, watched Totai walk into the room he had arranged, and then guarded the door.

In fact, there is no need to be so strict. Even if Totai is allowed to go by himself now, he might not dare.

With his current strength, it was estimated that he would be torn apart by wild beasts before he reached the edge of the forest.

Just when Merck was enjoying his meal, a short and eager knock on the door interrupted him.

"Come in."

A footman came in, hunched over to keep his posture as low as possible.

"Master, the Earl is here, and he is waiting for you at the gate of the castle."

"Count? What is this unprofitable guy doing here at this time?"

"Okay, you go down first, tell the Earl that I will come right away."
