Release that Witch Chapter 37: Family history

"Danger is relative, Mr. Pine, and danger also means opportunity," Fourth Prince read through the relevant information collected by Assistant Minister, "I heard that your title was inherited from your father? He was a Knight , And later was awarded the Baron and fief for his merit in combat. "

"Exactly," Tigu nodded.

"That battle was a battle of honour for the innocent, and the time was also at Months of Demons. A small part of Evil Beast accidentally crossed the stronghold defense line through Scarlet Water River and entered the Western Region hinterland. Your father was at that time When patrolling on the ground, when he encountered the residual Evil Beast, he did not choose to evade like most people, and notified the reinforcements before encirclement. Because behind him was the undefended town --, although that town had nothing to do with him, "Roland Statement, while paying attention to the expression of the other side, "You should know more about later things. Your father summoned the town's militia, brought his attendants, and fought Evil Beast directly and won."

"Yes," he said with a little excitement, obviously full of longing for this family history, "One of them is huge, like a deer and a cow, or a monster kneading together. Its legs It's thicker than my father's torso, and the ground is shaking when I run. If it were me, I don't know how to defeat such a monster. "

"But he did it. My father stood in a shallow trench nearby and seduced the raging monster. While it was accelerating and colliding, he lay down in the shallow trench, setting up a wide-bladed sword, a sword The stalk was braced on a stone at the bottom of the ditch. The seemingly incomparable stupid slammed into the sword's tip, and the whole stomach was cut open. The intestines and the black blood that flowed out almost took my father Overwhelmed. The trophy of that battle, a huge Evil Beast corner, is still hanging on my fireplace.

Roland drank his mouth tea and said without delay: "Admirable battle. He followed Knight's beliefs, compassion and heroism. Later he was given Joe Kohl to his title and fief, and was still a Earl of Longsong Stronghold. , Twenty-five years ago, my father was promoted to Duke by Wimbledon III, and he also served as the guardian of the southern Xinjiang. His territories covered the entire southern region. Unfortunately, the old Pine that remained to the east of stronghold became the stronghold Duke in the eyes after the independent independence. Thorn. "

"Your Highness, you know very well," Tigu exhaled helplessly, "Adults stronghold Duke and Joey have always been incompatible. Joe Kohl is not stronghold Duke's Earl. His blood can be traced back to the royal branch, whether it is a family Still pedigree, not worse than Ryan adults. "

This is politics, Roland said, Wimbledon III's balancing game.

In order to understand this complicated relationship, he called Assistant Minister to explain to him all day.

The encapsulation and jurisdiction between noble is extremely chaotic. In theory, the superior noble has the right to issue orders to the lower noble in the territory, but the actual operation is much more complicated. Joe Kohl and Duke Ryan are examples. As Earl, which is directly packaged by King, although the territory is in Western Region, it has the same prestige and momentum as Duke Ryan.

When Joey becomes southern region Duke, a new Nail will naturally be placed in his territory. This is the usual method used by the Greycastle royal family to maintain stability.

"So when you inherit this territory, commerce and agriculture are dying, and the family business is worse than it is," Roland said slowly. "Now, there is a new opportunity in front of you."

"New ... opportunity?"

"Presumably you heard about the famine two years ago. stronghold deducted the food for the next month on the grounds of insufficient trading ore. This year, we are facing the same predicament. The accidental collapse of Northern Slope Mine left the Border Town people with nowhere else to go. Back, we have to block the Evil Beast behind the newly built walls. This battle may not be smooth sailing, but as I said before, danger also means opportunity. "

"..." Tigu had understood the prince's meaning, and he frowned, not immediately answer.

"Speaking of which, you are not like a noble in the usual sense," Roland smiled, "No one will dress like this and go out, and your hands are full of crusty cocoons. Mr. Pine, you Did n’t let go of your father ’s legacy? As a combat skill that Knight excels at. ”

Of course he did not let go, Roland thought, otherwise he would not run into Hidden Forest all day. According to the information provided by Barov, he spent at least three days a week in Hidden Forest during the Border Town's period. And every time he went there was fully equipped. Since he couldn't afford attendants, he hired hunter directly from the town as a helper. Some people like fighting by nature, Tigu Pine is obviously such a person.

"If you are willing to stay at Border Town, I can give you the opportunity to regain your father's glory. Like him, rely on the sword and courage to win honors. If the achievements are outstanding, I will draw on the east side of Border Town A piece of land is used to reward you, a piece of land suitable for the rank of Viscount. "

This kind of situation is rare, but the promise is effective. As a prince who already has adulthood, he can legally enclose the Viscount, Baron and Knight, but he rarely accompanies rewarded of others. One is the loss of noble demeanor when digging the wall, and the other is awkward if the other party refuses. But Roland doesn't care about manners. He only wants Nana mobile therapy station. As for rejecting him, he is not too worried. After Joey became southern region's guardian, he didn't take his father along, which proves that the former has given up Pine Family.

Tigu finally slackened, "Then ... Your Highness, can I send Nana back to Longsong Stronghold? No one has resisted Evil Beast here. In case of failure, I don't want my daughter to be buried here."

"I told you at the beginning, Mr. Pine, the danger is relative. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Nana is found to be witch in Longsong Stronghold? Unlike Border Town, Church is already there The city has been rooted for a long time, and their followers and eyeliners are everywhere. Once expose, even I can't save her. "

Roland pauses for a while, adding: "Border Town will not fall behind. When Months of Demons comes, I will fight alongside citizen on the city wall. Our opponents are just a group of mutated beasts, not Devil." Your father once Defeated them in an open space, not to mention that we still have an insurmountable wall. If ... I mean, if an accident really happens, I will let Nana go first, "he paused," and Anna. I will leave a boat on dock, and I promise that they will be safe and sound. "

"That being the case ... I believe you, Your Highness," Tigu Pine stood up, landed on one knee, raised his chest and abdomen, and addressed the prince with the standard Knight ceremony, "I am willing to fight for you."

...

When Tigu and Nana left, Anna gave Roland a dizzy eye.

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