Demon Lord

Chapter 455 Soderlor's Past

"We hurt twelve here, and eight of them were recruits, but none of them were major events."

Sodroll pointed to Akasha, who was casting an aura in the distance, and led Roddy to a few wounded prisoners and continued: "I just asked briefly, these guys are in this area It has been wandering for more than a month. It was originally a small group of forty or fifty people. Later, there were only two other bandits after the merger.

"During this time, they blocked the road for four or five votes. Today, this is the egg of the best-equipped people. Alas, they still have some ornaments on their wristbands, and they know that they are from the aristocratic personal soldiers. Trial, and asked if they were under Viscount Anru. "

Viscount Anru was the fat man at the banquet who agreed to give Rodi a "lesson". It was no surprise that Rodi just shook his head and said, "Originally we may have reached the end of this, but things don't seem so simple . "

"Oh? Who was the one you killed?"

Soderall naturally noticed that Roddy did not return empty-handed.

"I didn't have time to do it ... he was a dead man."

"Dead man ?!"

Soderlor, who had a relaxed expression, immediately changed his face. He asked a few words carefully, and followed Roddy to the body of the "wanderer", and examined it as carefully as before. But after turning around for a long time, he didn't seem to see anything extra.

"There is no tattoo on his body, the scars are left by training or fighting, and there are no special marks ..." Soderollo fiddled with the thief's already stiff arm, and when he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly suddenly Yi Ning-"Wait!"

He took off the other's wristbands and armguards, cut open the leather jacket with a knife, then picked up the other man's finely-fitting linen and carefully looked for a while, then his face became a little weird.

"A discovery?"

Roddy was a little weird. Soderroll looked excited, but his eyebrows were obviously suppressing something.

"Huh ... that's right. In fact, the way the clothes are cut makes me feel familiar ... You see, the stitching here, the blanking here, and the neckline here-sure, two 'x'-shaped closures . "

These terms are only understood by the "professional tailor", and Roddy looked at him with a little surprise: "Do you know how to make clothes?"

Isn't this guy a sub-professional "advanced tailor"? A generation of "Swordmaster" actually likes to make clothes?

But Soderauer shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are a bit layman. In fact, you all need to know these things as a nobleman. When tailoring clothes, those tailors have to change the model back and forth a few times with a template on you. , Listen more to the natural energy society. "

He pointed to the dress in front of him: "Every store has its own style. Although no name is written on the clothes, this style often shows who is writing at a glance. When a group of nobles brag together This is the perspective. "

"I understand what you say."

Roddy thought that this is the same reason as his sister-in-law's understanding of luxury brands, but he asked more puzzled: "No, how do you know this?"

"Because ... I used to be a noble."

Soderlor's eyes were obviously dimmed when he said this. With a stun in his heart, Roddy immediately realized that he had asked the wrong thing, but he didn't wait for him to apologize. Past ...

He paused and said briefly: "My father was a baron with a Bergen collar, but before he could pass on the title to me, the family was completely ruined. At that time, the entire family was almost dead, only I was one. People gritted their teeth and fled to Everta before they left a bloodline for the family. "

This is definitely a **** feud, but Soderol has never told anyone before. Despite the understatement of his mouth, Roddy knew that under the calm words, in fact, Sodrol's unprecedented hatred was hidden ...

He will never forget this and will find the culprit sooner or later.

"The reason I know this is because I used to be pretty in the collar at Bergen. I customized a lot of clothes from small to large, and one of the shops made the clothes in this style."

"Can't admit it?"

"At that time, I was young. Because my body grew fast, I had to make a few bodies every year. Most of them were ordered from this shop, so I don't remember it wrong. You see ... This kind of clothes on his body is standard ready-made clothes, If it is customized for the aristocracy, the stitches on the back and the cuff are different, but he doesn't have this. "

"Did you buy it elsewhere?"

"That shop only sells goods to the nobles in the territory, so first of all, this guy is definitely a local noble. And the status is distinguished ..."

Having said that, there is no way to look into it, because there are many big nobles from Bergen's collar. At this time, with a piece of clothing, there is no way to confirm the specific family. However, narrowing the scope of this has saved Roddy a lot of things. He exhaled: "Go back and investigate carefully. Viscount Anru is estimated to be a role that has only been used. Bergen collar may be the source here, maybe ... more than."

"Well, I will investigate."

Soderlor lowered his head, feeling depressed.

"That's right," Roddy patted his shoulder, and whispered, "Which family moved the hand ...?"

Soderlor suddenly looked up ... he knew what it meant.

"This one--"

Roddy's mouth opened wide, and he seemed to be laughing, but the words were more stubborn than the howling cold wind: "Don't look at me like this, I don't care who it is, but if you do something, you need to realize the consequences …am I right?"

January 17.

While the northern part of the kingdom is still shrouded by the winter snow, the Bergen Territory, thousands of miles away, already has some spring.

The green grass gradually emerged, and there were already many flowers blooming first in the back gardens of the nobles. Pedestrians on the street have faded their winter clothes, vendors are hawking, children are playing, and cattle have been ploughed on the land for two years of fallow, preparing for the new year's planting ...

Compared with the northwestern part of the kingdom, the wealth of the "Bergen" territory is obvious.

This is not only because of climate or landforms, but also because it borders the royal territory of the Karen Kingdom-the trees are low and easy to enjoy, and it has a developed king city as a trade foundation. It is difficult to develop the economy here.

As the biggest lord of the territory, Earl Milnor's recent days are even more magnificent.

Earlier in the year, the Milnor family could only be considered "first-class" in this territory, but not "dominant." However, under the management of the current owner for more than ten years, the Bergen Territory has now been completely held in his hands.

Those families who did not accept discipline have now disappeared from the noble genealogy of the kingdom. The phrase "only obedient nobles are good nobles" has suddenly become Mirno's political creed-and he is indeed qualified to say this, because for the whole person method, I am afraid that few people in the entire kingdom can Better than the count.

It stands to reason that if a lord is too harsh, it is inevitable that he will be bounced back, but Earl Milnor does not have such worries ... because behind him is the largest lord of the Karen Kingdom and also this kingdom. Nominal owner: Charles II.

"Master, this is a gift list from Viscount Chatton and Baron Mukla today."

It is a gift list, in fact, it is not a festival at all now, these things are "offering confession"-Count Milno is quite contented with this, because these are not "taxes", but complete additional income.

"It's much more positive than last year."

The fifty-three-year-old Earl has silver-haired, slender build, and standing on the windowsill with his hands on his back, he is quite a powerful man in the world-but when he saw the son who was manually operating his feet in the back garden, Two sword eyebrows immediately erected:

"Don't I let him practice sword? Why is he here ?!"

Count Milnor reprimanded, and after the steward left, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed ...

This may be the price of intoxicating power ... Although the family has power, Ke Ziyi only has this one, and because he was born in the "front room", he has been brought up by too much spoiling for more than two decades. Make him always regret it.

Fortunately, this 23-year-old son is not a clueless brain. At least in "playing with his mind", he has inherited his excellent standards, but he still has little time to control the family.

"Still have to find a place to exercise, it won't work like this ..."

Earl Milnor sat at his desk, quickly put aside these chaotic emotions, stretched out his hands, and began writing the letter to Charles II as usual:

"The development of the 'Rose Cross' in the territory of Bergen has been curbed. The missionary process of the 'Viper Cross' has been smooth. Several recent conflicts have been suppressed. The current situation is very stable ..."

"The parish of Bogdo is still under the control of Benjamin. It will take longer to change this situation ..."

"Everta's move in this winter is intriguing. According to the eyeliner report, the Duke Sally seemed to have expected the consequences of the severe cold in advance, so she relied on sufficient preparation to collect a large amount of gold coins within three months. It is estimated that there may be more than four times the annual taxation of the Everta Territory ... "

"If this goes on, the forces of Everta will surely become a monopoly and pose a serious threat to His Majesty's rule ~ www.readwn.com ~ From different angles, the same behavior will have an opposite meaning: Sally relief for refugees At this time, in the writing of Count Milno, it had become a "threat to the stability of the kingdom", and those nobles who had not earned enough jealousy had become "the best weight for balancing the situation."

This is ridiculous and sad politics.

There were two courtiers next to Charles II: one was "Earl Moore", who was responsible for the conquest or deployment on the bright side; the other was Earl Milnor, but basically everything he did was " "Under the water" operation, so he feels better.

Imagine that the status of most territories in the country is monitored directly or indirectly by yourself.Some places even have the ability to control. This overall overlooking experience naturally makes it easier for people to give birth to the superiority of beings. .

The earl had finished writing the letter leisurely, but when he was about to seal it with fire paint, a message brought by the housekeeper darkened the count.
