Wizard From Afar

It’s only half a day from the tower to Deep Limburg. After resting for a long time, the entire group finally saw the border fortress near the evening.

The Deep Limburg on the border is completely a territory surrounded by ancient wood and distant hills-the west is connected with the ancient wood forest, and it looks far away from the road of wasteland. The dazzling river runs through the wilderness, connecting large and small farms and orchards one after another.

Because it has entered winter, the surrounding area looks a bit desolate and depressed, but it also has a bit more magnificence of the cold winter. The Deep Limburg is located on a hill in this land. The main fort surrounded by gray city walls and towering spires are flying the heraldic flag of the Fried family.

This is actually not surprising. As early as when Loren and Ruben’s entire group arrived at the tower, Mr. Baron had already sent someone to Deep Limburg to report - this was also to prepare the other party. Do not let them completely unprepared, do all the measures to meet the count.

After all, Deep Limburg was originally the territory of the Senna family. Even if count is now Ruben Fried, we still have to take care of the other's face and not embarrass both families.

As for the count leader of Deep Limburg, Loren also got more interesting information from Ruben and Sir Aaron. In the wilderness to the west of Deep Limburg, not only ogre and giant The mutant monsters of monsters and goblins, and the jungles that are successively formed into pieces, are also the territory of the elves.

And in the ancient wood forest on the border of count, there is a relatively large elven settlement living there all the year round—for this race, humans are not their natural enemies, they really threaten them. , Is actually the same ogre entrenched in the forest.

For this reason, the elven settlements of the ancient wood forest have become the "line of defense" on the west side of Deep Limburg. In exchange, they will have caravans here to trade goods every year, using amber and The fur exchanges ironware and pottery.

For this race that I have only heard of but never seen, Loren is certainly not curious about impossible. But now it's winter, and the elves' caravan has already left here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see it until the coming year.

The heavy city gate was pushed aside, and the nobles of the entire count were waiting in the castle early. Apart from this, there are many local villagers who are also excited to gather near the city gate, wanting to see what the new count looks like.

Although the Senna family in Deep Limburg and the entire Friedrich family of Lothar Duchy are hostile for many years, these villagers do not know what deep grudges are between these noble lords, these The contradiction between the nobles is too far away for them.

even more how Ruben Fried is still the heir of Lord Duke, who is the future ruler of the entire Duke. To have such an adult become their count, in the eyes of these ordinary persons in Deep Limburg, it is still a matter of face.

The young count, wearing bright armor and a bright red cloak, rode a war horse and passed through the city gate of Deep Limburg surrounded by the Knights.

"Please allow me to represent the Senna family and all the nobles in Deep Limburg. Welcome you, Ruben Fried count!"

The leader is a hair The old man with a bare face and a beard, standing respectfully in front of Ruben’s horse on crutches: "Underneath is Barry Senna, which is your mother Maria..."

" I know, mother said that after her father passed away, you were brought up by you!" The young count with a smile on his face immediately turned over and dismounted, and quickly took the other's hand: "Barry Senna Old Mister...Oh. , Should I call you "Grandpa"?"

"That's my honor!" The old man’s face was full of smiles: "In order to welcome you, we have put the flag All have been replaced by your family's coat of arms, and the lord’s bedroom has been prepared for you. If you don’t like the furnishings inside, we can change it at any time."

"You are so kind, or Keep everything simple." Ruben waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't make it too much trouble, or I will be very uncomfortable!"

"We have prepared a banquet for you and Gentlemen take the wind and wash the dust." The old man still squinted his eyes as if he hadn't heard what he said, saying with a smile: "The whole count has brought all the nobles here, and I hope you can enjoy your face."

"Of course, please tell everyone to be free. I don't have much rules." While talking, Ruben walked in each minding their own business, leaving Loren and Knights behind. A few servants greeted them and walked into the castle one after another.

When passing by the old man, Loren clearly noticed a bit of sarcasm on the other's face, but it was better to cover it up.

Obviously, these Senna family members are not as obedient to Ruben Fried's stealing the title of count as they have shown.

The banquet was arranged in the castle hall, a whole piece of barbecue on the burning fireplace was "zi zi" braving, and a dozen middle age persons dressed in luxurious clothes were sitting around Around the long table, both excited and a little nervous, looked at the young count sitting at the forefront.

The servants put plates full of delicacies on the table, stewed pork and onions, bread decorated with delicacies, various game flavors, and multi-colored berries , Just looks very attractive.

No one in the room has any appetite, either holding a wine glass pretending to be calm, or fidgeting around all around, and not even looking at the delicacies on the table.

"Everyone, please sit down, thank Holy Cross for giving us such a rich food!" Standing up with a bright smile on Ruben's face, he raised his glass: "Long live Shen Limbo, Luo Long live Tyre Duchy——!"

"Long live Deep Limburg, long live Lothair Duchy——!!!"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, all the nobles present here They also picked up their wine glasses to cater to each other, with grudging or sincere smiles on their faces.

After drinking the first glass of wine, the young count put down the glass and tapped it. The nobles who understood their minds quieted down and waited for his next speech.

"As you all know, although my mother was born here, it is indeed the first time I have come to Shenlinburg. Many people and things are relatively unfamiliar, so I am more curious." Ruben Tan Open your hands: "For example...Who is responsible for the military and defense of Deep Limburg?"

"Puke Baron!" The old man named Barry Senna quickly stood up, enthusiastically serving Ruben. Introduced: "He has been the military commander of Deep Limburg for fifteen years, and he is loyal until now."

A fatty who seemed very enthusiastic stood up from his seat and bowed humbly. Waist, moved towards Lu Wen showed a somewhat flattering smile.

"Really, it's been fifteen years?" Ruben laughed: "The time is a bit too long. From tomorrow on, let Puck Baron rest a lot and stop worrying about these troubles. !"

"Huh?" The smile on fatty's face solidified suddenly, and his sausage-like lips trembled a few times: "You, shouldn't you mean..."

"Didn't hear clearly? Then I'll say it again." Count's expression immediately became colder: "From now on, as Shen Limburg count, I will revoke Puck Baron's duties in Shen Limburg, and my guard will Captain Sir Aaron will be the new military commander!"

"Why?!" The sweaty fatty yelled directly, and the fat all over his body was trembling: "I have always been to Fred The two families with Senna are loyal and have never done anything wrong!"

"Why, you dare to ask why?!" Ruben sneered, "On my way here, More than a dozen ogre crossed the defenses of Deep Limburg and rushed into the hinterland of the duchy-if it weren't for the person behind me, you would only see my corpse now. Drag this dereliction bastard out, I don't want to see him again!"

Two Knights stepped forward, and Puke Baron, who was about to become a dehydrated fat pig, walked straight out of the chair and left the hall.

The nobles at the banquet can no longer see the slightest smile on their faces, sitting in their own positions trembling with fear and dare not move. Even Barry Senna, who had laughed at Ruben, stood stiffly under the threat of the surrounding Knights, his aging face trembling.

Loren, who was standing behind count, watched silently, as if he was enjoying a wonderful drama, with a slight smile on his lips.
