Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 333 Rejection

"Welcome to the Norton family territory, Your Majesty." Lorist gave an audience with the next lord to the Second Hall.

As the Earl of Kenmes said, Lorist was very embarrassed at the moment. Although the current Antinac kingdom does not recognize the Norton family as the nobles of the kingdom, this matter was done by Queen Kerry after all, and it was nothing to do with her Royal Highness. If the Second Highness dies or he writes down the exile book by himself, then Lorist can be considered as truly without the upper lord.

Just like the founding emperor of Christen hundreds of years ago, he was exiled to the North by the upper lord, and he was also exempted from the noble title. The angry Earl Chrison immediately ran away his wealth and recruited soldiers to declare war on his superior lord. He raised his troops in the Northland and made his fortune in Winston Province, and then swept all the way to establish the Chrison Empire.

Now Lorist is embarrassed because he knows the purpose of the Second Highness, but he cannot refuse. As the upper lord of the Norton family legally, and the throne was usurped by others, then as the lower lord, Lorist must stand up for his upper lord no matter morally or in the tradition of the nobility. That is, even if they don't have that strength, they can't beat down the water dog and generally refuse the request of their upper lords. At least they must provide their greatest ability to help the upper lords. This is the morality of the noble tradition of the Gailint Asia for thousands of years.

Can't refuse! Lorist met with His Highness the Second at Fenglin Villa. Thanks to his cousin Krisya, when Fatty Shi got the news that the Second Highness and his party had come to the Northland, he wanted to limit their activities to Beihai City. But Krisya had to clamor to return to Fenglin Villa. She was a member of the Norton family, and Fatty Shi couldn't stop it. So starting from Beihai City, passing through Populus Town, and then arriving at Fenglin Villa. Then in the five days before Lorist came back, His Royal Highness and others visited the seven towns in Fengyuan and went to Nicol Academy. If it weren't for the guards sent by Camora to stop him, His Royal Highness might go there. Visited several strictly confidential production bases in Ironforge and Blade's Edge Mountains.

The prosperity of the Norton Family Territory in the North Land surprised the Second Royal Highness, and his eyes were full of colors. But Krisya was purely out of showing off the strength of the Norton family. In addition, Irina, who stayed at Fenglin Villa, had never seen the world. After welcoming the arrival of the Second Royal Highness and Christia and others, she was very respectful to the upper lords of the Norton family, and answered all questions and knew what she knew. Or those who were observing all revealed that they were clean, and they also eagerly sent someone as a guide to take the Second Highness and his entourage to Nicol Academy and Fengyuan, so that the Second Highness had another idea of ​​the strength of the Norton family.

"Unexpectedly, the wild and remote Northland in the past is so vibrant in the hands of the Norton family. It is really amazing. Where I have been in these few days, I can hardly believe my eyes, Fengyuan Qi This town is so lively and densely populated, and I feel that when I go out to play, I see the grand surroundings of the imperial capital. The earl is really a talent, and he can govern the Northland so well, comparable to those of the former empire. !"

While the Second Highness expressed his thoughts about the Norton family territory, he stepped forward and patted Lorester's arm affectionately, making a conversation with his arms, showing his importance and intimacy for Lorester. , Seems to have no sense of the estrangement between the two in the imperial capital.

"Thank your majesty for your compliment. The Norton family just keeps in mind the promise of their ancestors to protect the northern frontier for the empire, and does not want to participate in the empire. Therefore, the family territory is fairly peaceful in this troubled time. It has absorbed a large number of refugees displaced by the war. Finally made the family territory look a little bit." Lorist had to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't not listen to your advice." The Second Highness smiled bitterly, let go of Lorist's arm altogether, and then bowed to Lorist. Lorist was taken aback, and he quickly supported the second majesty: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? I can't afford it."

His Royal Highness shook Lorester's hand backhand, very sincerely: "Locke, I sincerely apologize to you, I was wrong. After the defeat was costly and the Royal City, I have been regretting it, if I could listen to you back then. My advice, don’t be so anxious to unify the former empire, but pay attention to people’s livelihood first, then I won’t end up like this. It’s hard to get home if you have a home, and it’s hard to join a country!"

Well, you asked for it. Lorist complained in his heart. However, the fact that the Second Highness himself has a hard time to return to a country and a country to vote is the truth, except for the Norton family territory in the North, no matter where he appears, the final result is to be sent to the current Queen Kerry of the Antinac Kingdom. As the result of the death of His Royal Highness in the middle of the night, whether it is to avenge his father or for her throne, Queen Kerry will definitely give the Second Royal Highness a death of a sudden illness.

"The year before last I heard that your Majesty was defeated in the city of Federica without knowing his whereabouts. It made me anxious. At that time, I wanted to lead my army to the city of Federica to find your Majesty, and sent a messenger to the Imperial City to request troops, but I was met. I scolded and asked our Norton family to stay on guard, and even transferred the Third Army of the Royal Guards from the border front of the Principality of Madras to watch us at Chilin Port, forcing me to withdraw my troops..."

Lorist took the certificate from Sward and forwarded it to the Second Royal Highness: "Your Majesty, this is the receipt of the two Emperors who I requested to send troops. They rejected my request and made me feel uncomfortable. I did not stop trying to find your Majesty. Thanks to the protection of the God of War, it makes me happy that your Majesty can appear in front of me. There is nothing more important than your Majesty’s safety."

Well, Lorester can only play the role of loyalty and righteousness in front of the Second Hall. Even if he hopes that the Second Highness will never appear in the world, but now the Second Highness is standing in front of him, this loyal minister is not allowed. Improper, at least you have to behave in front of everyone.

His Highness's expression changed, and the hand that was holding Lorist was released and clenched into a fist: "Those rebels, usurpers and traitors, they actually ceded the kingdom of the ancestor to the merchants. They seek their own personal gain. I will never let them go. Brother Locke, to be honest, I am here to ask you for help this time, and ask the Norton family to send troops to wipe out the rebellious kingdoms and help the kingdom restore its proper order..."

Lorist sighed, and the Second Highness finally made a request. As the head of the Norton family, he must give the Second Highness an official reply.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, if the Norton family sends troops, what will they get?"

The aristocratic tradition of the Gailint subcontinent is that the lower lords have obligations to the upper lords. This is a fact. But in the same way, the upper lords must also agree to let the lower lords get the benefits they deserve. If there is no benefit, no lower lord is willing to do his best for the upper lord in vain. Lorist can only seize this to gain his own advantage now. Otherwise, if he gave the Second Highness a sum of several hundred pieces of armor, it would be considered to be the obligation of the next lord, and it would make people speechless.

"Rock, Your Majesty agreed. As long as our family sends troops, he will make you the Grand Duke of the North. The territory you lay in the North is considered to be the territory of our family." This is Krisya, and she is very happy. , It seems that the Norton family has taken a huge advantage.

Lorist looked contemptuously: "Chrissy, do you understand the current situation in the North?"

The silly girl really shook her head.

"If this is the case, I refuse to send troops. In fact, the title of the Grand Duke of the North has no effect on the Norton family. Your Majesty, there are currently only four nobles in the Northland. In addition to the Norton family, there is Kenmes who occupy the eastern part of the Northland. Earl, Baron Shaheen and Baron Felim in the south of the Northland. All three of them are allies of our Norton family. The Norton family will not tear up the covenant and meet with allies. Only the title of the Grand Duke of the North, It's the same for me and it's the same." Lorist was confident.

Uh... Not only the Second Highness has nothing to say, even Kristia is dumbfounded. They did not expect that there are only four families in the Northland, and they are still in alliance. Not only does the promise of the Great Duke of the North by the Second Royal Highness have no meaning, but also has the meaning of instigating dissension and inciting disputes. No wonder Lorist can justly refuse the request of the Second Highness.

"I'm very sorry, Brother Locke, I didn't mean it, but I didn't expect this to happen..." The Second Highness explained quickly.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, you are here for the first time, and you don't know the situation here. The banquet there is already set up. Please come and taste the flavors of the Northland. Please also your Majesty have a good rest in the Northland. And we have to study how to give it. Your majesty supports and helps your majesty return to the kingdom."

Lorist was really a little angry. The cousin Christya had a carefree personality. She didn't know the circumstances in the Northland for excuses, and the Second Highness didn't know the situation in the Northland, that would be nonsense. Although the Northland is remote, the four alliances have been dominating the Northland for several years. The Norton family territory has strict access control, but the situation in those three territories is like a sieve. It would be a lie to the Second Highness without knowing it. They were all devastated to the point where they were homeless and lost the throne. Here they asked for help, but they added a blockage to themselves. He didn't believe that the Second Highness was unintentional when he killed Lorist.

At the banquet, the Second Highness wanted to bring the topic back to asking the Norton family to send troops to help him restore the country, but they were all talked about by Lorist or directly pushed to discuss with the family knights and refused.

The depressed Second Highness got drunk and was sent to rest. Lorist finally got away and went to the main building. Under the service of Irina, he started taking a bath while considering what kind of reply he should give to the Second Highness.

I was about to pull Irina into the big tub to relax herself, but heard the scream of the guard from downstairs: "Who!"

"It's me, Christia."

"Oh, what's the matter with Sister coming here so late?"

"I want to see Lorist."

"Sorry, eldest sister, I don't know if the adult has gone to bed, so don't disturb the adult at this late. Is there anything I can't do tomorrow?" This is El's voice.

"Go away! I'm looking for Locke for something. I'm his sister. Are you afraid that I can't assassinate him?"

"Assassination? Haha, eldest sister, it's not that I underestimate you, and you are not an adult's opponent. But I have to report to the adult. If the adult is asleep, you should do it tomorrow."

"No, I have to see Locke now..."

Lorist exhaled, rolled over and came out of the tub, wiped his body indiscriminately, put on a nightgown, came to the window, and leaned out half of his body: "El, let her come up."

Kristia quickly went upstairs, and Lorist lifted up a glass of Michaels that Irina brought up: "Come on for a drink of Michaels, what can you do with me so late?"

Chrissy sat down in a chair with a loud voice: "Your guard is too rude, Locke, he actually stopped me."

"This is his duty, and he did it right. It is not because you are my cousin to look at you. Because you are the royal knight of the Antinac kingdom, not our Norton knight, even if you are from The Norton family."

Chrissy's mouth was dumbfounded at once, and Loris was right. This was also one of the traditions followed by all noble families.

It took a long time for Chrissy to come back to her senses: "Locke, I found that you have become too much, and you can no longer see the shadow of the crying child."

Lorist laughed: "No way, if I were still the crying child, the Norton family would have long since ceased to exist. Everything forced me to change. Christia, you know a ten The six or seven-year-old child lost contact with his family. Does it feel like being a mercenary to survive? To fill his stomach and fight with Warcraft, to risk his life for the cost of learning. It took six or seven years until the family found him. , He knew that the family members were gone.

When he returned to the family territory, he realized that the situation was so bad. The Duke of the North had no good intentions for the family, and the second prince looked at the family. He finally broke out and defeated the Duke and the second prince, focusing on the family. The development of the territory finally gave the family a prosperous scene. But now there is another trouble coming to the door. His superior leader sent troops to help him reset. There is no benefit. Should you and he agree? "

Lorist blocked the road first~www.readwn.com~ This made Kristia feel very awkward, and after a while, Ai Ai said, "Rock, this is not a good opportunity for the Norton family. Is it? As long as you help your Majesty to reset, your name will be recorded in future history books, and the reputation of the Norton family will be passed on to the praise of future generations."

Lorist smiled, unable to support: "My cousin, are you stupid? Why do the soldiers of the Norton family shed blood and sacrifice for your majesty's cause? If this is spread out, I am afraid that other nobles will treat the Norton family as fools. Look. If your majesty does not pay the corresponding price, the Norton family will never send troops. However, we will give your majesty a large sum of money and a batch of military equipment to fulfill the obligations and duties of our next lord."

Chrissy asked unwillingly: "Locke, what benefits do you need to send troops to help your Majesty reset?"

"Well, I have to think about it. But my cousin, can you tell me how you escaped from the city of Federicai? I am very interested in it, because no one can find you. Also, how much power is still in your Majesty’s hand, according to your majesty’s bodyguards disappeared when you disappeared from the city of Federica, and that was five thousand people. How did you hide the search from the enemies? "

Kristia’s face turned gloomy: "Your Majesty found a secret tunnel leading to the outside of the city when attacking the city of Federica. This may be the way for the prince to escape. Later, the city of Federica was besieged, and your majesty took us. Leaving from this secret passage. At that time we were 6,000 people, but now we have only 2,000 people left, because we met the missing prince..."

"What are you? The prince?" Lorist was surprised.

"Yes, we didn't expect it either." Kristia shed tears.
