Chapter 37 Negotiation and Family History

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Danger is relative, Mr. Pine, and danger also means opportunity. The Four Princes read the relevant information collected by the assistant minister in his mind. I heard that your title was inherited from your father?He was a knight, and later he was awarded the title of baron and fief for his merits in combat.

That's exactly that.Tigu nodded.

That battle was a battle of honor to stand up for the innocent, and time was also in the Demon Moon.A small number of evil beasts accidentally crossed the fortress defense line through the Chishui River and entered the hinterland of the Western Region.At that time, your father was patrolling the place. When he encountered the remaining evil beasts, he did not choose to evade first like most people, notify reinforcements before encircling and suppressing them.Because behind him was an unguarded town, although that town had nothing to do with him, Roland stated while paying attention to the other party's expression. You should know more about what happened later than me. Your father summoned the militia of the town, took his servants, fought against the evil beasts head-on and won the victory.

Yes, his tone was a little excited, obviously full of yearning for this family history. One of them was huge, like a deer or a cow, or a monster that kneaded together.Its legs were thicker than my father's torso, and the ground was trembling when it ran.If it were me, I really don't know how to defeat such a monster.

But he did it.My father stood near a shallow ditch and lured the furious giant beast over.Taking advantage of the moment it accelerated and collided, he lay down in the shallow ditch, supporting a wide-blade sword, and the hilt of the sword was diagonally supported on a stone at the bottom of the ditch.The seemingly unparalleled idiot hit the tip of the sword, his whole stomach was cut open, and the intestines and black blood flowed out were almost overwhelmed my father.The spoils of that battle, a huge evil beast horn, are still hanging on the fireplace in my house.

Roland took a sip of tea and said slowly: An admirable battle.He followed the faith of the knight, his mercy and his heroism.Later, he was given the title and fiefdom to Joy Cole, who was also an earl in Changge Fortress at that time. Twenty-five years ago, my father Wimbledon III was promoted to duke and served as the guardian of the southern border. His territory was covered by the entire southern border.Unfortunately, after he left his backer independent, Old Penn, who was still east of the fortress, became a thorn in the eyes of the fortress duke.

Your Highness, you know very clearly. Tigu breathed helplessly. The Duke of Fortress and Lord Joey have always been disagreeable. Joey Cole is not the count conferred by the Duke of Fortress. His bloodline can be traced back to the royal branch, and neither family nor bloodline is worse than Lord Ryan.

This is politics, Roland thought to himself, the checks and balances trick played by Wimbledon III.

In order to understand this complicated relationship, he called the assistant minister to explain it to himself all day.

The feudal and jurisdiction among the nobles was extremely chaotic. Theoretically, the superior nobles had the right to issue orders to the subordinate nobles in the territory, but in practice it was much more complicated. Joy Cole and Duke Ryan were examples.

As the Count who was directly enfeoffed by the king, although the territory was in the Western Territory, it had a prestige and momentum no less than Duke Ryan.

When Joey becomes the Duke of the South, there will naturally be new nails arranged into his territory, which is a common means for the Graycastle royal family to maintain stability in their rule.

So when you inherit this territory, trade and agricultural products are gradually dying, and the home business is getting worse day by day. Roland slowly said, now, there is a new opportunity in front of you.

New...opportunity?

You probably heard of the famine two years ago, and the fortress withdrew food for the next month on the grounds that it was not enough to trade ore.And this year, we face the same dilemma.The unexpected collapse of the mine cave in the North Slope left the people of Bianfeng Town with no way out, and we must block the evil beast behind the newly built city wall.This battle may not be smooth sailing, but as I said before, danger means opportunity at the same time.

...Tigu already understood what the prince meant, and he frowned and did not answer immediately.

Speaking of which, you are not like a nobleman in the usual sense. Roland smiled. No one would wear this way and you were covered in hard skin calluses on your hands.Mr. Pine, you haven’t let go of your father’s heritage?As a fighting skill that a knight is good at.

Of course he didn't let it go, Roland thought, otherwise he wouldn't have run into the hidden forest all day long.

According to information provided by Barov, during his days in the border town, he spent at least three days a week in the hide-and-hide forest.

And every time he went there, he was fully equipped. Since he couldn't afford to support his servants, he hired hunters directly from the town as helpers.

Some people like fighting by nature, and Tigu Pine is obviously such a person.

If you are willing to stay in the border town, I can give you the opportunity to regain your father's glory and reap the honor like him, relying on sword and courage to win.If you have outstanding achievements, I will set a piece of land on the east side of Bianfeng Town to reward you, a piece of land suitable for the identity of a viscount.

Although this is rare, commitment is effective.

As an adult prince, he can legally enthrone viscount, baron and knights, but he rarely rewards other people's subordinates.

First, it is because it loses the aristocratic demeanor, and second, it is embarrassing if the other party refuses.

But Roland didn't care about demeanor. He only wanted Nanava, a mobile therapy station. He was not worried about rejecting him. After Joey became the guardian of the South, he did not take his father over, which proved that the former had given up on the Pine family.

Tigu finally let go, then... Your Highness, can I send Nanava back to Changge Fortress?No one has ever resisted an evil beast here. If it fails, I don't want my daughter to be buried here.

I told you from the beginning, Mr. Pine, danger is relative.Have you ever wondered what would happen if Nanava was discovered to be a witch in Changge Fortress?It is not like a border town. The church has been rooted in the city for a long time, with their believers and eyewitness everywhere.Once exposed, even I can't save her.

Roland paused for a moment and added: Border Town will not be lost. When the Demon Moon comes, I will fight side by side with the leader on the city wall.Our opponents are nothing more than a group of mutated beasts, not invulnerable devils.Your father had defeated them in uncovered clearings, not to mention that we have an insurmountable wall.If...I mean, if something happens, I will let Nanava leave first, he paused, and Anna.I will leave a small boat at the dock and I promise they will be safe and sound.

In that case...I believe you, Your Highness, Tigu Payne stood up, put his knees on the ground, straightened his chest and tucked his belly, and gave the prince a standard knightly salute, I am willing to fight for you.

……

When Tigu and Nanava left, Anna rolled her eyes to Roland.

Are you dreaming?She said, I won't go anywhere.
