Transcendent Noble

The Harvest Manor is one of the oldest aristocratic manors in Gambis Kingdom. It has a history of more than 200 years.

The manor covers an area of ​​more than 700 acres, which is composed of fences, animal pens, wells, pools, houses, warehouses, barracks, arable land, and fruit trees. Unlike other aristocratic manors, Harvest Manor does not have beautiful gardens and exquisitely shaped houses. Instead, the wide open space is full of crops, vegetables and Fruit Trees.

Except for the walls made of solid limestone, most of the houses in the manor are made of bricks and tiles. The shapes are simple and atmospheric, without any extra decoration, but the space is used to the extreme. Only the mottled green moss on the brick walls witnessed the history of this noble manor.

This farm-style aristocratic manor is exactly the style of the Chebman family, frugal and practical.

In the evening, a simple and sturdy carriage drove slowly into the Harvest Manor without any hindrance. Because the guards in the manor know that this is the car of the Great Knight Dewitt of the family.

Dewitt, who is carrying a Mithril long sword, walked off the carriage, and immediately an attendant walked up to him and bowed to him.

"Take me to see Master Count, I have something to report." Dewitt nodded and instructed the attendant.

After that, Dewitt walked into the depths of the manor under the guidance of his attendants.

Behind the main building of the manor, there is a small green area. Although the cold water season has not passed, there is still green grass. The lawn on the ground is a rare evergreen grass. This grass is evergreen throughout the year. Although it does not bloom, it has a fresh breath, which is relaxed and joyful.

On this meadow, Dewitt met his lord, Lord Count Timok Chebman.

"Dewitt, if you are not in a hurry, wait a moment and let me run out of my dinner." Count Chebman was sitting at a table, enjoying his dinner, and seeing Dewitt gone Come over, said with a loud voice.

He must use up his dinner before the sun sets, so as to save a candle. This is a habit he inherited from the old count.

Dewitt did not speak, just raised his left hand and signaled his Lord Lord to enjoy dinner at will. As the Great Knight of the Chebman family, he certainly understands Lord count's habits.

Soon, an attendant brought a chair for Dewitt. After Dewitt sat down, he took a deep breath and inhaled the unique fresh breath of evergreen grass into his lungs. This pleasant smell , Even Silver Knight was intoxicated by it.

It is said that the evergreen grass lawn is only found in two places in Gambis Kingdom, one is the harvest manor of the Chebman family, and the other is the garden of the Gambis royal family.

The evergreen grass of Harvest Manor is a small piece of turf dug from the royal garden when Count Chebman was a child, and formed after several decades of cultivation.

As for why only such a small piece of lawn was cultivated, it was because the old count believed that there was no need to plant this kind of grass on precious land. The land should be used to grow crops, and a small piece of grass The evergreen lawn is enough to demonstrate the aristocratic heritage of the Chebman family.

Chebman concentrated on enjoying his dinner. He must speed up. Although he is the lord of Dewitt, the same Great Knight of the Silver Order is still a bit rude to talk in the dark.

Count Chebman looks like he is in his thirties. He has a gloomy temperament, a thin face, narrow eyes, and thin lips with a double-faced mustache. He was wearing a black count casual dress. Although this dress looks smooth and meticulous, its style is several decades ago, and there are some slight fraying marks on the cuffs of the dress.

This dress matches Chebman's appearance, which makes him look mean and staid.

At this time, Master Count is sitting at the table, holding a knife and fork, and handling his dinner-a roasted golden leg of lamb. His graceful manners and calm movements completely conformed to the dining etiquette of nobles. Even the most picky court nobles could not fault him.

But Master Count’s eating speed was terrifying. He saw slices of lamb of the same size cut off the leg of the lamb in the room where the knife and fork were flying, and then sent it into the mouth, with rapid movements. With a hint of wonderful rhythm, it actually gives people a pleasing feeling.

Soon, the meat on a roasted lamb leg was eaten clean by Chebman, leaving only the smooth and clean leg bones. Even the hungry goblin could not find a trace of meat on it. .

The knife on Chebman's right hand hits the middle of the lamb's leg lightly, a cyan-green breath is fleeting, and the hard leg bones are immediately divided into two, exposing the white sheep in the bone cavity. marrow.

Chebman moved his mouth together, and a few centimeters away, gently inhaled, and the sheep marrow immediately flowed into his mouth as if it was alive.

After finishing all this, Chebman drank the water in the glass contentedly. The waiter on the side immediately stepped forward and removed the cutlery and lamb bones from the table. According to Chebman’s house rules, he Sheep bones must be ground into powder and used to feed the hounds in the manor.

"Adults have subtle control over Battle Qi, I'm afraid they will soon enter the Peak field, right?" Dewitt saw Chebman's natural freehand expression of knocking on the bones of sheep with Battle Qi, and couldn't help it. Exclaimed.

"Golden rank is so easy to advance? I have been in Silver Peak for ten years, and I still cannot sense the existence of the sea of ​​elements. It’s impossible. The most important thing is the affinity of the bloodline innate talent to the elements, just like His Highness Lora.” Count Chebman shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

Dewitt was speechless. He knew that his lord was the veteran silver Knight of the kingdom. He had polished the Battle Qi to be rounded and pure, but unfortunately he was still far away from the Golden Domain, while His Royal Highness Crown Princess Lora of the kingdom was in the second place. Successfully promoted to Golden Knight at the age of thirteen, this innate talent is simply terrifying.

"Dewitt, you came to see me today, aren't you here to discuss the way of Knight with me?" Chebman said with a smile to Dewitt. As a count, he is wondering whether he can be promoted to Golden Knight didn't care very much. He wanted his family to grow stronger, and his inheritance continued. This was his responsibility as a lord.

"Well, today I just escorted a cart of Mithril back. This time the quality of the ore is higher than the previous two. The ore of this cart alone is enough to extract a pound of Mithril. ." Dewitt constricted his mind and said to count.

"Oh, this is good news!" Hearing Dewitt's report, Chebman suddenly smiled from the heart.

"There is better news. Our miners found that there is less and less silver ore in that mine, but more and more mithril mine." Dewitt paused and continued Said: "This shows that that vein is not a silver mine associated with mythril mine at all, but a silver mine associated with mythril mine!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! This is what I have heard in the past few years. The best news for you!" Chebman could no longer restrain his inner ecstasy, and said loudly with a smile.

"My lord, the last time I was reported to you, about the plan to control that territory, I am afraid that I have to change it." After Count Chebman's mood calmed down, Dewitt said lightly.

Some time ago, after Dewitt learned of Victor's weakness and incompetence, he ordered a plan to control Victor's collar to Count Chebman. But before Count Chebman's reply, a major event occurred in Victor's territory, and Dewitt had to revise the original plan. Therefore, taking the opportunity of escorting the Mithril Mine back, he had to discuss face-to-face with Count Chebman. Here is the question.

"My lord, my original plan was to encourage the freemen to unite against the little lord, and after the Knight of the York family left his territory, I would control the freemen to move to the little lord’s hill camp. Camps and strongholds, limit the activities of the little lord to that area, and finally let our people pretend to be free people to enter the territory and actually control it."

Seeing Count Chebman signaled to him Later, Dewitt continued: "Didn't expect, just four days ago, Baron's guard Captain took soldiers and broke through three free private camps in two days, killing more than one hundred free people. Now The other freemen on that territory have been terrified, and they no longer dared to disobey the little lord’s orders. Some freedmen even killed the original leader and took refuge in the hill camp."

"Oh, Didn't expect that there are such talents under Baron! What about their own battle damage?" Chebman raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked Dewitt.

"According to our eyeliner report, there were only more than ten casualties in the little lord's guard."

"Why are there so many casualties? Didn't it mean that little Baron's men did not have Knight? Did Sophia quietly dispatch the family Knight to her little husband?" Although the opponent was a fragile refugee, within two days, he killed more than 100 enemies and killed more than a dozen of his own. Only Knight could achieve such a crushing record. .

Chebman was really taken aback. The reason why he was able to sneak into Victor's mithril mine was to bully Victor, who is now an abandoned son of the family, without strength and no backing.

But if Marquis Sophia re-accepts Victor, the situation will be different. Although Sophia's military strength is far inferior to the Chebman family, she is rich and imposing, with extensive connections and strong potential, which should not be underestimated. .

Chebman thought about it again, and thought it was impossible.

According to reports from family members resident in the royal capital, Marquess Sophia is enthusiastically pursuing Lord Golden Knight Andre of Borui United Kingdom.

Although Marquess Sophia is rich and powerful, but the strength of her men is not strong enough, so she desperately needs to draw a powerful Golden Knight as her backer, only in this way can her business empire be further developed .

Moreover, there are rumors that her behavior was supported by Queen Catherine. Obviously Queen Your Majesty also hopes to use the beautiful and alluring marquess to win over a powerful Golden Knight to join her Prince party. camp.

So, Sophia will exile her little male favorite to the Western Pioneer in a disguised form. Before achieving her goal, she is impossible to re-accept Baron, and once she achieves her goal, I am afraid it will be hers. The moment the little husband was killed.

"Did the York family secretly dispatch a Knight, disguised as his guard Captain?" Chebman then asked Dewitt.

This probability is great. As a camp that is hostile to the Prince party, the York family has every reason to use Victor's identity to make some articles.

"Neither. Captain, the little lord’s guard, is a rare and violent warrior named Nelson. He was once a mercenary but was later recruited by the little lord" Dewitt explained to Chebman road.

"Oh? Didn't expect little Baron so lucky, he was able to recruit a violent warrior." Chebman heard that it was not the York family and Marquis Sophia who secretly supported Victor, sighed in relief.

"Well, this Nelson is not an unnamed person, and adults may have heard of his name—the bear of the Northland."

"The Northland of the Kingdom of Dodo The bear? No wonder, it's a pity." Chebman said in surprise, and regretfully shook the head again.

Generally speaking, no amount of ordinary person can kill a Knight, just like no amount of sheep can kill a lion. But ferocious humans are not considered as ordinary persons, such as the ferocious Barbarian in the mountain range of Turrell, and the adult Barbarian is enough to face the tough and rigid bronze Knight. But ordinary ferocious humans rarely have battle strength comparable to Knight's, and the bears of the Northland are just a few of them.

Five years ago, in a military conflict between the Kingdom of Dodo and Sasanian, a mercenary of the Kingdom of Dodo encountered a raid squad led by a Sasan Knight. The two immediately fought fiercely. Unexpectedly, the raid squad including the Sasan Knight was wiped out. After that battle, the Knight's mercenary who had killed head-on had a name—the bear of the north.

"Yes, that's the bear of the Northland where the Tartus family offered a reward of 5000 gold Thor." Dewitt nodded, said.

The Tartus family is a powerful military nobleman in the Sasan Empire. The death of a family Knight was originally not the worst thing for them, but this family Knight was treated by a lowly man The mercenary was killed head-on, and this mercenary actually got a title on the reputation of the Tartus family, which made them feel humiliated, so they used 5000 gold sol to reward the head of the bear of the north, and It is claimed that any family that takes in the bears of the north will become an opponent of the Tartus family.

Of course, the nobles of the Dodo kingdom will not kill Nelson who fought with Sasanian for trifling 5000 Kinthor, but they will not offend the powerful Tartus family for a fierce warrior. After all, in the national war, the captured family Knight can be redeemed. If you offend the Sasan nobleman, I'm afraid this rule won't work.

As the war between Dodo and Sasanian gradually eased, many mercenary groups that participated in the war were incorporated by Lord Dodo, and the famous war bear mercenaries were unattended, and Nelson was discouraged In the cold, he had to leave the kingdom of Dodo with the war bear group, and his name was gradually forgotten.

Chebman doesn't care about the intimidation of the Tartus family. It is a pity that this fierce warrior comparable to Knight was recruited by Victor.

"My lord, I thought the little lord was weak, didn't expect him to have a fierce warrior comparable to Knight as the guard Captain, so, in order to successfully implement the plan, I plan to take action personally , Get rid of that Nelson!" Dewitt said lightly, as if getting rid of a violent warrior to him, it was like looking at the pattern on the palm, not worth mentioning.

"hehe, Dewitt, I have seen your plan, but I simply don’t intend to agree to it!"
