Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 70 The Road to the Duke
"Uncle Xiao Enbin, what do you need from me?"

Seeing no one around, Stannis, who came out of the big tent, quickened his pace to catch up with the old man walking in front.

The old man turned around, with a kind smile on his face, "Why, we haven't seen each other for so many years, can't our uncle and nephew catch up?"

Stannis quickly nodded and smiled apologetically, but in his memory, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it seemed that they didn't have a deep friendship.

"Today, your performance on the battlefield is very eye-catching." The old man looked him up and down, and a huge plan that had been constructed in his mind was beginning to take shape in his wisdom honed by the years.

"Hey." Stannis rubbed his head in embarrassment. He never expected that his non-stop ghosts and beasts on the battlefield would cause such a big reaction.

"That's right, as expected of Duke Tanis, whom I am optimistic about."

Stannis thought he was flattering, so he continued: "I'm laughing at you, how can I be a duke... duke duke!"

He suspected that his ears had misheard, Uncle Xiao Enbin was too straightforward!Is this kind of thing said so easily?
"Yes, you heard me right, I support you, my nephew will be the next Duke of Tanis!"

Xiao Enbin's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Stannis was confused. He was nominated to be the next supreme leader of the Principality of Tanis just because of the effect of the badge of courage. Would it give people a feeling of...

"You'd better hire another wise man," Stannis was really not modest, this kind of thing might lose his head.

But Xiao Enbin shook his head, "Do you think I'm an old fool, making a decision on a whim? Actually, I started to observe you a year ago. Although you did such a shockingly stupid thing, I still see it from you To fearless courage, just like your father and I did back then."

Stannis didn't speak. He knew it was okay to talk about other things, but on such a big matter, it's better not to talk casually.

"Tell me, what do you think? Are you capable of being the Duke of Tanis?" Xiao Enbin looked at him with eager expectations.

The traverser scratched his head, of course he knew that his ability was not enough to lead the whole kingdom, not to mention that the endless conspiracy under that seat could make him die without a place to bury him.

But on the other hand, it is impossible for an individual to covet such a high position. After all, it is Kingdom No. 1. If one climbs to that position, one does not talk about calling the wind and calling for the rain, and one does a lot of evil.

"That's good." He said hesitantly, "But I can't just say I want to be the Duke. Now the Duke of Tanis already has someone, and it seems that he doesn't have much intention of passing on to me."

Xiao Enbin didn't speak immediately, he looked at the young man in front of him and thought whether it was worth putting all his chips on, and finally he made up his mind.

"If you want, I have a way to send you to the throne of the duke."

This sentence shocked Stannis like a thunderbolt. Why did he say it so lightly, as if he could become one if he wanted to.

"Uncle Xiao Enbin, did I hear you right? The Duke of Stani is not like the cabbage and potatoes bought in the vegetable market. His family has ruled the kingdom for so many years and is deeply rooted. It doesn't mean that you can change people just by changing people."

Xiao Enbin sneered, "Do you know how the Garcia family became the dukes of the Duchy of Stani?"

Stannis shook his head blankly.

"Lies and poison! This small family from the south only started to make a fortune 30 years ago, and gained such a prominent position by marrying the widow of the previous duke, and finally climbed to the throne of the duke through countless conspiracies. Why is this Everyone can, but you, the orthodox descendants of the Erasia royal family can't?"

Aren't you a descendant of Ilysis?Now how come he has something to do with Erasia again.

"In short, in terms of blood, you are fully qualified to inherit." Xiao Enbin made a conclusion.

"But what about the specific method?" Of course, Stannis understood that these medieval nobles were generally related by blood, as long as they wanted to find them, they could always be related by blood.

"This can be discussed in the long term. You just need to answer me: Do you want to be Duke Tanis?"

Stannis bit his lip. At this moment, his heart was at war, and finally he raised his head and said, "Give me some time to think about such a big thing."

He finally started to learn the political stuff, and he kept an eye out for it, and his answers were ambiguous, making it hard for people to catch him.

Xiao Enbin also guessed that he would say this, "Okay, I won't force you, you just need to know that I am not the only one who wants to make you a duke, and there is enough power behind me."

Stannis gasped as he recognized the menacing tone in the words.

The imperial envoy nodded to him, then turned and returned to the big tent.

After the banquet, Stannis wandered outside for a long time before returning to his residence, because he was in a state of disarray. He didn't know whether Sean Bean really wanted to make himself a duke, or if he just found out his true thoughts and then reported to the duke to kill him. .

Even if it was true, how could he become a duke?I don't have the support of a strong family behind me (I don't know if my father-in-law supports it), nor do I have enough strength to make the people around me surrender. Climbing from a beggar lord to the supreme throne is tantamount to nonsense.

"Boss, why did you come back?"

When Stannis drew up the curtain, he found Robert fiddling with his badge of courage.

Although his heart was full of fear and excitement, Stannis still pretended to be nonchalant.

"It's nothing, the weather is fine today, I went out for a walk."

"Oh." Robert didn't delve into it. He held up the badge, "Boss, come and help me see how this thing works. I just tried it for a long time and it didn't work."

Stannis walked over and picked up the badge, which was quietly flowing with luster, perhaps the courage it provided was needed now.

He put it around his neck, but there was no response.

He put it in his pocket and felt a chill.

In the end, he tossed for a long time, and the badge didn't take effect like it did on the battlefield during the day.

"What's the situation?" Stannis said helplessly, maybe this thing can only work under certain circumstances.

Robert's eyes lit up, "Boss, I remember you put it in your butt pocket!"

He looked at him helplessly, this kind of treasure must only take effect under the special circumstances of the unity of man and nature, so what's the matter with his ass!

Still, he kicked the badge into his butt pocket.

"Hot blood!"

In just an instant, the badge had an effect.

Stannis immediately took the badge out of his butt pocket, this thing turned out to be plug and play, it seems that Lu Jia really didn't lie to herself!

But what is the origin of that woman?Why would you give such a precious thing to yourself?

Robert took the badge and rubbed it lovingly in his hand, "This is really a good thing. When I go back, I will ask Lu Jia for one."
