Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Son's Dilemma

Jiangu City Lord Antoine Neil, in fact, has always I don't like this city.

If he was asked if he liked his wife, he answered in the affirmative very sincerely, while being candid about how he felt offended. Being the lord of Jiangu City was never the reason for his union with Garuda Neil, it was a love based on mutual understanding.

He was born in the Pleiba family in Mopan City, and his original name was Antoine Pleiba IV. It was a respected family whose motto was "tenacity lasts long", and there have been many heroes in history. The current king of the Jiangu people is Antoine's uncle, which makes their family have a good influence in the affairs of the Jiangu people. So, 97 years ago, when Antoine decided to move to the city of Jiangu to live with his wife's Neal family, people simply couldn't understand it.

"Galuda Neil should be brought to Mopan City. There is the simple Pleiba family here, and the king is here. What are you doing in Jiangu City? It's too old and too poor ."

Antoine came to Jiangu City with great determination, which made the people in Jiangu City accept him more quickly. Later, when the lord Aigre Neil was killed in battle, Antoine assisted his wife in running the city. Many of his moves were wise and diligent in his work. Under the recommendation and approval of everyone, especially the promotion of Gan Lauda, Antoine changed his surname to Neil, completely joined the family, and officially took over the scepter of the lord.

He cares about the city and its inhabitants, but he prefers Mill City. It was a ground-level castle built on a mountain. The "Six Point River" flows from the east of the city. At the height of the castle, you can see the sparkling "Six Point Lake" and the farming villages living by the river.

The sun warms Mill City during the day and the moon and stars provide it with mysterious and beautiful views at night. It is the capital of Jiangu clansman and the largest military fortress and commercial center, where the bustling and bustling scene is a common sight. It's not like Jiangu City, it's not like there are only dark caves overhead, it's not like there are only nearly deserted shops in the market.

The faint old castle, the old grotto tunnel, and the lichens of thousands of years ago are struggling on whilst at death's door. Jiangu City is like a coffin. Although the people in it are still alive, they can only wait to die slowly.

The lockdown is the nail in the coffin and it will last for eighty years. Antoine can understand the situation of the previous generation of lords, Aigre Neil: Neil's clansman is scarce, he has no heirs and is about to die, other dwarven clans glare like a tiger watching his prey in the historic city of Jiangu, and the threat of monsters is still alive. not eliminated. In that case, issuing the order to seal the city can give Jiangu city the last chance to breathe. Everything is decided by Jiangu city itself, and outsiders have no right to interfere or interfere.

"It's a pity. It's a pity. Not long after the death of Lord Aig Neil, the heroic king of the elves obtained the Great Accomplishment and directly penetrated the infinite labyrinth under the Demon City, ending the last time ahead of schedule.

All the creatures on the ground are recuperating, trying to improve themselves in this rare peace, and the self-marginalized city of Jiangu can only decline.”

Every time I think of this, Anto Wan really feel sorry. If Iger hadn't died, he wouldn't have to worry about managing the city now, splitting every penny into half, secretly using the resources of the original family to help the current city of Jiangu, and trying to break through the damn city closure order. .

Before the lockdown, the city of Jiangu was famous for making colorful and powerful runes. The people here used their wisdom and technology to earn income, and the whole city was prosperous. Antoine believes that as long as the city closure order is lifted, relying on the traditions of Jiangu City and the support of the Royal Family, the rune workshop here can quickly be reborn and return to its previous level, and the entire city will be rejuvenated.

But it's too difficult to break through the lockdown.

Jiangu clansman attaches great importance to the continuation of tradition. The last lord's order was to close the city for 80 years, and now there are still 20 years. Cut off communication, do not participate in military operations, and focus all your energy on cultivating and tempering yourself. Although Antoine's current surname is Neil, when he, Neil, met the city closure order from the previous Lord Neil, his prestige was much less, and he acted with restraint.

"Little by little breakthrough. Prying open a little gap with clan meetings and ancient covenants to allow partial circulation of goods can lay the groundwork for the next move. The Neal family must be restored first, Guard The army's rune equipment will be equipped again. With the clan meeting ten years later, the Neil family must become a high-ranking family again and be eligible for five Jiangu Wang's votes..."

A series of footsteps From far to near, Antoine's escort brought news: "Fief lord, I have already gone to the union to inquire, but there is still no news of the trial of the hunting team. All youngsters in other occupational directions have returned, except for two..."

Antoine raised his hand, and the attendant immediately closed his mouth. "Did the hunting party send searchers? Did they come back?"

"Neither have they come back." The attendant said: "The searchers set off two days ago, if according to..."

"Gather the guards, two squads of twenty people in total, and prepare to investigate this matter with me. The hunting union will send three guides, and let President Stone Hammer follow along. Can you cause me so much trouble?"

"Yes, I'll send orders right now." The squire then asked, "Would you like to inform Ms. Garuda Neal?"

"I will tell her personally." Antoine waved his hand, and then walked quickly along the steps of the city wall to the castle of the lord's palace.

The castle is a good place. There is a rune-enhanced temperature and humidity control system in it. The clean air always makes people feel comfortable. In the blanket-covered hallway, children and their friends can always be heard laughing and playing. Antoine and Ganlauda have four children, the eldest son Levanto, the eldest daughter Yibeke, the second daughter Hein, and the youngest son Fangtern. In fact, they also have an adopted son, Dagon. According to his age, he should be ranked behind Ibeke by two years.

Dagon hasn't lived here since he was a year and a half, otherwise he should have had a part in the laughing and frolicking sound. Antoine followed the voice, Gan Lauda would usually be with Ibeke, and He Yin would be not far away, so it was right to go to the most lively place.

Antoine's sudden appearance startled the two Jiangu girls. They waved their hands, bowed slightly, and ran away, leaving the room for their parents to talk to. Gan Lauda frowned and said with some grumbling, "I'm teaching He Yin with Ibecco, and the story is only halfway through. Now she doesn't need to practice copying."

"Yes. Trouble." Antoine sighed and said: "The trial of the hunting union has not been completed yet, and it has been delayed for four days. The hunters sent out two days ago have not returned, and I am going to bring two guards. Check it out for yourself."

Garda was startled and asked, "Dagon hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes, this is the most troublesome thing. If something happens to him, Then I can only let Levanko go to Myris. I really don't want to see this ending." Antoine said: "I should take Dagon directly on the adult ceremony, and should not let him participate in the trial. It's a lesson: making decisions early can reduce accidents."

Galuda closed her eyes and sighed, slowly said: "I didn't make up my mind, so you didn't take action, but that doesn't mean Dagon I'll be dead. I'll go with you to find Dagon, and my ghost snake, spell, can enhance the detection effect."

"I want Levanko to go with me, and let him lead the team, so that To increase his experience in dealing with problems. If he goes to Myniris, he must not be badly taught by the elves there, so the tradition of the Jiangu clan knows the more the better.”

“must go Is it? If Levanco goes, he won't see him for at least thirty or forty years. If he catches up with the next surge of monsters, he will most likely be sent to build a magic city or even enter a labyrinth." Ganlauda thought of big Brother, Iger was seriously injured and died in the labyrinth, and now he is threatening her favorite eldest son again?
"It seems to be possible at the moment." Antoine was also a little dejected. He was annoyed at why he was not decisive enough. He directly dragged Dagon to his side and arranged the task, so there was no such worry. "I'll try to delay the date and let Levanko do more preparations. You'll be looking for it in the city for the next two days..."

The specific matter has not been explained yet, and there are footsteps again. The messenger sent a message that the trialist of the hunting party had been found and was on the way back. Team leader Balder and trial student Dagon fell into the gorge, whereabouts unknown, and most likely died.

“Why did you fall into the river? How did you go to the mouth of the mouth?” Antoine knew the aging situation of the facilities around Jiangu city well, and asked: “The suspension bridge in the mouth of the mouth has been in disrepair for a long time. It may collapse, and there is no way to go!"

The messenger handed a parchment letter to Lord Neil, the handwriting on it was eager and scribbled, and it looked like it was done in a hurry. The letter briefly recounts what happened, rewriting Dagon's heroic rescue and helping his comrades. The people from the hunting team tried to use the bear lizards to search through the underground river in the mouth of the gorge, but there was no harvest so far, which was a delay of time.

"Look at it," Antoine handed the letter to Gulatta, as he dismissed the squire. "Dagon has no bear lizards, falls into the glacier of the water gorge, ten deaths no life. I'm afraid Levanto must go to Myris, I have to arrange this."

"Dagon ...big brother..." Gan Lauda sighed, then threw the letter heavily on the ground.

"It's all my fault!" she said, "None of the choices I make are right! I'm simply not fit to make decisions, and yet...I should totally listen to you, believe Your plans and judgments shouldn't always hold you back. This...I sent my son to Myris in Myris...This, can I still regret it?"

"Do you regret it? Use it, let's deal with the problem." Antoine said: "Go to the family treasury to see what else can be prepared for Levanto, then go to Steelcast's house and comfort them. Tormund is your big brother's old subordinate. , it's more suitable for you to go than me."

"Ai, I just want to send my son away, they have no son. Antoine (Antoine's nickname), you see the letter says Dagon He is very heroic and excellent in every aspect. Is it possible to make Tormund the master of Fangtern (young son)?"

"He is a weapon master, and he has a certain level of skill, but his heart is not. It's hard to say if he doesn't. If you can teach Dagon, it's according to the son, not just the master."

"Then let him be the Adoptive Father of Fangtern, what do you think?"

Antoine thought for a while, then shook his head: "No need. It's enough for him to have a Dagon, let's teach Fangtern, aren't the two Ancient families of Neil's family and Pleiba not enough to teach? child? I can sympathize with him, but neither Dagon nor Steelcast belong to the past. Gurauda, trust my judgment and do as I arrange."
