The Summoner

Adrien doubted his questioning, but shook his head with a smile: "In my opinion we haven't seen you for a long time, Owen's housekeeper." He also turned around and dismounted to pay tribute: "How about my father?"

Old Owen pondered for a moment, and then the wrinkled face only brought a little smile: "Master Mandell Viscount is waiting for you, Master Adrien, please come with me." He turned and walked like an inner castle At the same time, he gently said with his cane: "And Captain Lowfield, come together."

"Oh okay!" Lofid replied quickly and respectfully. He also couldn't offend the old housekeeper. He put the reins in his hands to the subordinates behind him, so he quickly followed them and walked tremblingly behind Adrien. .

For him, this opportunity must be firmly grasped.

Can't give up easily.

Perhaps he is small and pitiful for big men.

But for ordinary people, his current identity and official position, as well as the accumulated wealth, that is an alarming amount, even if it is hard to reach a level of life, so how could he give up?

What's more, it was involved in the case where the mistress was killed, and she could not even escape. Because he is also clear in his heart, if he really escapes, it is estimated that this case destined to have not found any clues will be detained on his head, even the church of the **** of order and nobility will search him, as long as there is This kingdom of the church, he never wants to escape!

Now with Adrien coming to Viscount Mandel, a little excuse, and then involving the church of the Lord of the Dark Day as a scapegoat. With this excuse, after passing the RBI, you may be able to turn to safety.

The inner courtyard of the turquoise fort is the residence of the knights.

Just outside the castle is the inner wall of the inner court, and the part that depends on the wall is also the residence of the knights and knights, including the kitchen, toilet, bathroom and prayer temple. These are indispensable.

This is also convenient for lord meetings and recreational banquets or dances in the castle hall.

of course.

Turquoise fort is not the only one.

There are other courts on the other side, who live with heavy cavalry who cooperate with knights and knights. If they perform well on the battlefield, they can also be promoted to become knights, so that they can get rid of the civilian class.

As the master of the turquoise family, Adrien had a clear understanding of the castle. After all, he had lived here for 13 years and had previous life experience. He also deliberately learned about the distribution and staffing of the castle. The reason is that one day, as the eldest son of the eldest son, the name of the heir is justified.

It was just that he didn't expect that the water in this world was deeper than he had imagined, especially by chance, 13-year-old and 10-year-old Barrett were selected to enter the Mystic Master Tower for training.

As a result, it goes without saying that after three years, he was eliminated.

Even the heir's identity is deprived.

There is a conspiracy.

But more often, he lacks talent.

Only the strong can ensure the continuity of the family. This is the truth. As for the strong to go further, whether the family will restrain the original genius, this is not considered, because the turquoise family is in a cruel environment, Qianwan The most direct crisis facing the county is the Orcs raid every 8 years.

Hundreds of thousands of orcs will rush out of the dark jungle to come to Qianwan County because of food shortages and population explosions. The turquoise family rages on the territory and will not go back until they have enough resources.

Or...when enough orcs have died and can continue to maintain the balance of the dark jungle resources!

This is why the turquoise family came to Qianwan County to build the castle first.

It used to be a site for Orcs and Lizardmen.

Human power is extremely weak.

It was still 300 years ago that the generation headed by the turquoise family, with a lot of supplies and mercenaries, chopped off the orcs and lizards, and finally obtained the ownership of the place.

The half-orcs retreated to the dark jungle, and the lizards retreated to the death swamp. These two areas are complex environments. For humans, even if they are seized, they do not have much effect, so they have not pursued deeply, but with the The influx of various information, for example, some people speculate that the opposite side of the death swamp is the coast of the Star Sea. This is the reason why the turquoise castle actively explored the death swamp, but only a lot of money was spent, but nothing was obtained.

On the contrary, the Orcs' attacks every eight years have become more and more crazy, and ultimately involved the energy of the turquoise family. Except for the unrealistic tentative exploration of each generation of the owner, this idea was completely extinguished.

Instead, he responded to the threat from the Orcs.

Adrien had encountered such incidents when he was young.

Groups of half-orcs, dressed in rudimentary hides, holding rudimentary wooden sticks and stone rods, raged out of the dark jungle, forming a trend that could not be organized in a short time, and rushed into the territory of Qianwan County , Even the turquoise fort and the town of mudflats will see half-orcs, as well as the 7 most important villages.

As for then?

Then there is no...

As the troops of the Turquoise Fort attacked, they easily defeated and swept the entire territory.

The half-orcs passed the link of the initial unity attack, and then lost in the wilderness, wantonly plunder and slaughter, from the entire tribe army to a piecemeal bandit gangster.

How could it be the opponents of the elite Knights of Turquoise Castle?

They can't even break through the village!

The reason for coping with the trouble is that it has done too much damage to basic agriculture and commerce.

Half-orc looting usually occurs in autumn. When various plants are mature, they will rush out and plunder. The burning and looting is only done by some half-orcs. Many half-orcs will not stay for long after they have plundered enough supplies. Instead, they will take the initiative to retreat as if they had already been discussed.

…………

After all, these do not need Adrien to think too much.

After the old Owen came to the castle, the main door opened, and the knights with heavy armor and shields and swords guarded indifferently. After entering, they discovered that there were also a considerable number of knights forming a patrol.

Adrien raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "This is a big deal!"

"no way."

Old Owen’s formulated smile: "The enemy is strong."

Loved bowed his head in shame: "I'm sorry I haven't caught the murderer yet." But he also defended the old Owen: "It seems to be related to the Dark Church. Dear Owen butler, you should also understand it. ?"

"Dark Church? Maybe!"

Old Owen smiled and led the way: "Viscount Mandel is in the front bedroom."

"Gumbo." Lofid swallowed involuntarily. His head was covered with cold sweat, and he seemed quite panicked behind the two. After all, he couldn't stand up to the slightest defiance of the upcoming Viscount Mandel. His thoughts, even the rhetoric he had prepared before, also stuttered with the muddy mind.

Adrien was a lot calmer and walked behind Old Owen. For the environment that was only a few weeks old but unfamiliar, even the long-term familiarity faded away.

"Master Mandel."

Old Owen took them outside the bedroom door and gently tapped: "I brought them."

"Ok."

There was a reply inside.

After a short pause, the familiar thick voice of Viscount Mandel sounded inside: "Adrien?"

Old Owen also paused a little, seemingly nodded slightly after pondering: "Yes, can I go in?"

"come in."

Viscount Mandel allowed in the room.

Old Owen also slightly fell back and made a request to Adrien: "Master, please come in." But he looked at Lofid who also wanted to go in together, but he smiled: "Captain Lofid, Please wait a moment, Master Mandel will let you in later, please relax."

"...Is it? Then I follow Master Mandell's arrangement." Loved smiled bluntly, but the cold sweat on his face flowed, and looked at Adrien with pleading and longing.

"Crunch—"

It's just that Adrien seemed to push the door in without seeing it.

The room was a bit dim. Although it was nominally a bedroom, there were office desks and chairs next to it. A large number of quaint books and books were placed on the table.

On weekdays, after lunch, Mandel is here to deal with government affairs and give orders.

"Master Father!"

Adrien walked over and leaned slightly: "Good afternoon."

But Mandel still leaned over the table, writing something quickly with a quill pen. It seemed that he didn't hear Adrien's question. After a while, he said: "Adrien?"

"It's me." Adrian nodded.

"Ok."

Mandel was still holding the quill pen and writing letters.

Slightly stained with ink, his expression was calm but solemn, the room was only a rustling sound of writing for a time, and Adrien did not disturb. He stood quietly in front of the desk and did not know how long it had been. In time, Mandel, who had written a swift book, finally stopped the quill writing, what seemed to come to his mind: "Adrien?"

"I am." Adrien replied.

"it is good."

Mandell nodded, but nodded with regret and relief: "Okay."

"What?" Adrian wondered.

"it is good."

Mandel shook his head.

He continued to lean down on the table to write a fast book, and quickly wrote another letter. The black ink on the quill pen left elegant characters on the white stationery. This is an elegant font for nobles. For Mandel For the Viscount, bravery is just the surface. Anyone who can be the head of the turquoise family is definitely not low.

Only the strong can become the owner of the house, as did Mandel. After finishing the letter, he gently blows out the air with his mouth to allow the ink to quickly set on the paper, then stuffs it into the envelope, drops the sealing wax, and presses it with the ring.

An emblem with a round gem like an eyeball.

Emblem of the turquoise family.

After all this was done, Viscount Mandel finally raised his head: "Adrien, I still remember that you have made a lot of reasonable and effective suggestions for me, from internal affairs to construction, or military aspects, yes ?"
