Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Not perfect
The staff who arranged the banquet hall walked through the lord's mansion, this time There is so much to do in sixty years of cleaning. Dagon was led by the attendants, entered the lord's mansion from the passage of the staff, and then went directly to the second floor.

"Lord Ganlauda confessed, your room is here."

Dagon totally didn't expect to have a room of his own. Pushing open the light and thin hemlock door——By the way, there are mountains and plains outside Jiangu City. Wood is not rare, but wood is not as strong as stone, and ordinary residents do not like to use it——Dagon is in front of a 60-odd square meter. 's two-bedroom. The flat masonry walls are painted with white lime, and several paintings hang on them, depicting the battle stories of some Jiangu heroes. The outside room has no furniture and looks a bit empty. There is a white blanket on the ground, which is the complete skin of some kind of ground creature. Unfortunately, there have been mold spots in several places, and scars have been left after cleaning.

There is a small bed with seven 8-Layer cushions in the back room. The length is enough, but the width seems a little cramped. Be careful when turning left and right. On the bedside table was a bronze lantern, and next to it was a box of alchemy matches, pressed on a few books with slightly worn covers. Opposite the bed is a large metal clothes box, and a polished bronze full-length mirror leans against the wall. Apart from these things and a set of table and chairs, the room was nothing but the empty lantern hanger on the wall.

"Whose room is this? I think the bed is a little small."

"The former lord Igor Neal used to live here when he was young, and later Ganlau Lord Da also lived for a while, and then it was idle." The attendant said: "You can see that there is white lime on the wall, which was repainted after repairing the internal water pipe. There was no water pipe here for a while, so it has been Idle."

"There's still a water pipe here? Why didn't I see it?"

The attendant walked over to the wall, reached out and twisted an unremarkable handle, and then A side door opened. Behind the door is a small room with water pipes, basins, and toilet bowls.

"Wow, didn't expect." Dagon tugged at his beard, then asked, "Really let me live here?"

"Yes, here's where you are from now on. You can arrange it as you like." The attendant said: "Now please put down your items, especially sharp weapons. I will take you to the two lords."

" Oh... okay." Dagon stacked his weapons in the corner and tugged at the corner of his jacket to make the coat less wrinkled.

The squire took Dagon around the castle, apparently to explain to him the interior. Dagon had little interest in the Situation Room, Conference Hall, Guest Room, and other people's residences, but focused on memorizing the location of the dining room, kitchen, and martial skill practice room, which was where he was going.

The visit came to an end, and the attendant pushed open a door for him, and two lords of Neal were waiting for him inside. Generally speaking, there is only one lord in a city, but the case of Jiangu City is special. Antoine and Garuda are both lords, and they are one. In the decision-making of major event items, Antoine generally takes the initiative, and Ganlauda can veto it. However, after Antoine joined the family and took the surname Neil, Garuda never exercised the veto.

"You're here. Find a place to sit and wait, and I'll be able to finish writing this letter in a minute." Antoine buried himself in writing on the vegetable fiber paper with a pen, just out of the corner of his eye. glanced at him. "Uh, why don't you tell him my dear, it's not complicated anyway."

Garda was obviously stunned, and lightly sighed, she put down the "Ledger of Wrath" in her hand. "Dagon, there are two things for you to do now. They are both the responsibility of the residents of Jiangu City and the repayment of the Neil family for taking care of you." The greatest care of the Neil family for him is to find him a good father and mother.

"First thing, you will attend the banquet that will be held soon to meet the representatives of the clan meeting. After that, you will leave Jiangu city with the representatives and go to Myris, the city of the high elves in the north. The Neal family entered the elite Academy and studied there." Gulauda said: "You have completed these two tasks as you have fulfilled your responsibilities for the family."

Dagon thought for a while, he felt At this time, it is impossible to show that he has heard the news from the father in advance, so he said: "The banquet is in the city, which is no problem. But Myris is outside the city, and it is far away, and I definitely can't take care of the Steelcasts. What are they going to do? How long am I going?"

"Tormund Steelcast, as a weapon master and my advisor, will live a lot better each month than before, and more than you've joined the hunting party. Income. Their husband and wife two people are very capable Jiangu clansman, enough to take care of themselves, and we will take special care of them." Antoine lowered his head and wrote while writing: "Dagon, I heard you Very edible?"

"I'm already sixty years old, so you know I can eat it?" Dagon shook his head vigorously, snorted, and said, "To be honest, I don't know what you guys think. Tormund is physically disabled, and Corona's farming expertise is useless during the lockdown. They're already struggling to live on their own, and you've given them a huge burden to eat and drink. That little bit of food each month, Myself... I've been hungry for the past sixty years, and I've been hungry all the time, and of course it makes people feel like eating."

"If he hadn't given him a child, Tormund would have died. Saying that you overfulfilled the task, not only saved his heart from dying, but also brought him back to life and hope, and served as the lord's advisor again. If a child starves through childhood, I can get a weapon Master, Then there is not only you a hungry child outside now."

"fief lord, there is indeed more than a hungry child outside me. I often go to the canteen of the temple, and I know every one of them." Dagon squeezed Fist, quickly released, and then said.

"I can't say I know everything, but it's fine to know more than half." Antoine finally finished writing the letter, set it aside to dry, and then lifted the head to watch Dagon also said: "If you want the children to live a good life, you must open the city gates, let people like Corona take back the fields in Jiangu City, let the Hunter Union resume ground operations, and welcome back to Moshen Town. fisheries, and get their arrears from Beertown. It's not the boulder gate outside the castle that's standing in the way, it's the lockdown. I want you to turn the winch now so it starts to lift slowly."

"If the Steelcast couple can live a prosperous life, then I'm willing to go." Dagon scratched his beard and said, "Two fief lords, Jiangu City has been difficult for so many years, of course I hope to do something. And I trust your guarantee."

"Your last name is Neil too! What are you lying to you for?" Ganlauda shook her head and said, "We chose not to raise you by ourselves and let you I'm alienated from us, but... Dagon, calm down and think about it, the Steelcast couple has only you as a child, are they treating you well? Even if we take care of you, do you think our care for you is comparable to Steelcast's? Couple, there will be no alienation? Dagon, I'll be honest: that's impossible."

Dagon lowered his head, pursed his lips, and nodded hard. "Yes, the facts and truths do. If I had to choose between being hungry or being the son of the Steelcasts, I would choose the latter. I'm too much, I shouldn't..."

Ann Tovan raised his hand and waved, preventing Dagon from continuing. "Okay, we all know that there has been no perfect arrangement in the past sixty years..."

"Actually, there will be no such thing in the future."

Antoine looked at his wife reluctantly, smiled wryly, and then immediately restrained. "Dagon, I'll ask Mr. Gando to teach you some etiquette. You'll sit next to me at the banquet."

"Okay, fief lord, at your disposal." Dagon Nodded first, then said: "My lord, I am still a little worried about my adoptive father Tormund. When he is a consultant, his income can take care of himself, but his health is not good. If he cannot shoulder the role of consultant, The income will plummet, and I'm far away in Myniris and can't take care of me."

"Even if he can't work, his income won't drop. As long as you're in Myniris, then I'll offer him a bonus equivalent to the best hunter in the Hunter Union, as if you're still here to supplement your household, okay?"

Dagon un'ed hard, and the goal was achieved. Although I have to go far away, as long as my family is healthy and my work can take care of them, I will have less worries. Moreover, he really wanted to go to the ground and see the city of the elves, even if the reputation of Myris in the Jiangu tribe was very poor.

Could it be worse than a burrowing crab's nest?

"Mr. Gando will tell you the precautions for the banquet. Don't worry, all Jiangu clansman are entertained this time, and the process is very simple, just eat and drink. The Neal family will hand you over to Steelcast. Couple, you haven't eaten enough. This time you let go and taste our Neil's food. Dagon, if you don't have anything else to ask, go get ready."

" Oh...where should I go to find Mr. Gando?"

"He'll find you, or you'll find a servant and ask." Ganrauda said, "This is your home now, relax. It's good."

Even if it is a home, it is a strange home, a temporary home. At most a day or two after the banquet, Dagon will leave the place, leave his parents, and head to Myris. Fortunately, I already knew about this half a year ago, so I must have been mentally prepared. No matter how good the mental preparation is, it can't dispel the tension and anxiety about leaving the parents.

Taking a few deep breaths, Dagon adjusted his mood and had an idea in mind. Since the past few days temporarily lived here, and his parents were also in the lord's mansion, he simply took them to his room to live. His bed alone has seven 8-Layer cushions, and he is only used to sleeping on a hard board or at most one cushion, so removing some is enough to make a comfortable bed for his parents.

If they don't come, then he's ready to be with them, take the time to take care of them, and show his heart. Since he came to the lord's mansion, the hunting union will definitely not arrange any more tasks, and it is completely acceptable to train for a few days less.

With that in mind, Dagon went back to his room, ready to pack up and go to his parents. He pushed open the door, frowned immediately, as he found that the bag he had brought had been turned over and the head-axe leaning against the corner was gone. It was definitely not that the guards had confiscated their weapons, because the broad dagger was still on the ground, and the dagger that could fit in the sleeve was also there.

Dagon's heart rate rose rapidly, he took three steps and two steps to the backpack, and quickly opened it. "There's a thief!" Dagon gritted his teeth, his anger rising. The other items in the backpack are still there, but the Iron Stone from Rune Breathing Technique is gone.
