Path of The Dragonborn

"Banquet?" Heliga repeated the word his father had just said, with a surprised expression, "This time?"

"Yeah. I know what you are wondering... This seems to be what Earl Goti and the others meant. The reason why they chose this time is not because it has something to do with the civil war, but because they hold similar events every year at this time. The gathering, this time is on an unprecedented scale."

"Why?" Heliga was puzzled. It was obviously a war period, but it was even more grand than before. Could it be that the noble alliance's confidence in the civil war has expanded to this level?

"Because of the nobles in his chamber of commerce, there are always a few individuals every year. At this time, because of various business problems, they are not on the side of the capital. This time because of the civil war, the economy of the entire empire will follow. It shrank for a while, and the traffic blockade caused by the civil war made the flow of trade and other things difficult...In addition, because of the civil war, the Epstein Consortium seemed to have temporarily terminated many of the involved in order to avoid losses. To the trading items of the imperial nobles."

"In other words, because of the civil war, these people have nowhere to go, so they can only drink and have fun together?" For this reason, Heliga felt a little bit dumbfounded. "Then they might be the leader of the war. One of the Duke of El Barrea is very angry, right?"

"Yes. They also invited the Duke to their banquet. I guess they wanted to take this opportunity to ask the Duke to give them a green light or something... The result was probably because they were struggling with Duke Kane for power. The Duke of El Barrea is totally in no mood to take care of them." Warners smiled mockingly, "So, this is probably a meeting they used to complain. And they invited me to go."

"Anyway, you only have one or two entertainments every year... It's just that when you go to that kind of banquet at this time, how do you say it, it will inevitably feel a bit strange." Heilijia scratched his head, "Can't you shirk?"

"It feels not very convenient." Warners sighed. "That's it for hearing their complaints. Huh? Wait...Speaking of which, I seem to hear them say that the second young master of the El Barrea family is safe. Arrived in the princely capital Bariyahat, but as soon as he returned home, he was put under house arrest by his father."

"Uss... really made the same mistake again. At that time, when he was in the internship, he had been played like this by his father...the relationship between their father and son is really a bit delicate."

"Helmuth is a staid person...or, in the current words, too ignorant. Not only does he fail to see the general trend of the world at present, but he can't even handle his own affairs within the aristocracy... if It's not because he has a good son like Rufas." Warners shook his head. Warners has no doubt expressed his opinion about the conflict between Euses and his father, "And you don't feel his Does the eldest son seem to have that kind of meaning? Even though it seems that Helmut was guarding this impregnable Olokoros fortress on the grounds of his advanced age, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that with his The level is something that people in the Noble Alliance would not admire... Compared with the calmness and wisdom of the Marquis of Haynes, the braveness of the Marquis of Logner, and the strategizing of Duke Kane."

"Well...I haven't seen the two marquis before. Although Duke Kane seems to have some similar problems... But in general, it is indeed much better than Duke El Barrea. He is such an idiot. Two very good sons are really wonderful in a sense." Heliga also laughed.

"You really don't know?" Heliga had no special reaction when he mentioned Rufas, and Warners couldn't help but ask.

"Know what?" Heliga was taken aback, he had no idea what his father was talking about.

"Oh... nothing. You'll know later. Saying this now may distract you." In the end, Warners didn't say anything. "Let’s go back to the topic just now. This time this banquet, In fact, it’s a good opportunity for you. Haven’t you been looking for channels and want to explore the situation in a farther range? And among your classmates, you have not seen the Usess. If you go this time, you may happen to happen. Although it is under house arrest on the surface, Baryahat is now short of staff, he will not be stupid enough to put a duke’s son and use it. "

"It makes sense... Euses will definitely come out to help his father, such as managing public order and other issues. With his ability, he must be able to do very well." Heliga agreed with his father's judgment, but Regarding his father’s suggestion, he was still somewhat noncommittal, "But...isn’t that okay? What happened at the refuge..."

"You kid, it's just a "lord agent", the real lord here is still me. "Warners joked with his son, "Don't worry...I can help you handle those things on your side." Over the past week, I think you have been a little bit burnt. I think it’s a good choice to talk to your peers over there, especially the noble ladies. Besides, although Lord Gotti did not say it clearly, I can see that among the nobles who often participate in these gatherings, there are one or two who seem to have seen people like me who are incompatible with them a long time ago. If you go, they might just think about you as a child and don't care about that much. "

"Look at what you said, ordinary noble ladies can't compare to my companions." Heliga also followed his father's joke, and at the same time he felt a sense of relief in his heart-this week, he It is indeed a little tired. In dealing with this kind of things, pure strength is not so effective. It pays more attention to management and human relations. My father will certainly not be worse than himself. "However, The reason?"

"You are also almost fifteen years old. According to the tradition of the nobility, it is the age to enter the social world in another year, although you have quietly managed everything." Warners said, "However, they After all, if I don’t know these things, I don’t want to take it as an advance experience for you... This is also more reasonable, and it won’t make them suspicious."

"If that's the case... then all right. Speaking of that shelter, I happen to have something to talk to you about here..."
