Chapter 756 Earl (Part 2)

Far sail port. Lord's Villa. There were many guests in the parlor, and many people talked about it.

Of course, everyone has at least the titles of knights and lords, and now gentlemen alone can no longer enter the living room of the Earl's Mansion. "This coffee is good!" Wearing a tuxedo, Sir Pierre from the nearby territory picked up the coffee cup in front of him and said with a sip. "Indeed, this milk tea is not bad," said Sir Sargovan.

Generally, at this daily gathering of nobles, although beverages are also provided, they are usually ale and beer. It is quite rare for Romon to take out coffee and milk tea to treat these little nobles who came here casually.

Standing servants are very polite and respectful.

Everything looks so beautiful, the only thing is that the master doesn't appear frequently, or in other words, the number of appearances is too small.

But everyone can understand that most of the people who came here were the nearby lords and their wives. Compared with the earl and a sixteenth-level archdruid, there is really no reason to show up every day to accompany them.

"It's been a long time since I've had milk tea like this. Do you know? There's been a dispute at Baron Inshobo's house." The speaker was a lady, Mrs. Perry. In a blink of an eye, she would be forty years old. . Next to her was a teenager, seventeen or eighteen years old, who had just entered the social world.

Mrs. Perry's husband was a hereditary knight who owned five knightly collars and a city residence. Before the disaster, he passed away and left his land and huge property to his only son.

These inheritances are naturally under entrusted custody until the son turns eighteen, and the guardian is of course Mrs. Perry. This year, the son is finally in charge... in name.

It's just that there is basically no achievement in the evil disaster, even if you do everything around, only three of the five knight collars are left, but this is already a very good result.

As long as there is no evil disaster, the nobles' territory will basically not be shaken.

Three knight leaders are enough.

As long as he has the title of hereditary knight and these three knightly collars, no matter whether he is an official of a higher noble or guards the territory by himself, there will be no difficulty. Mrs. Perry's words suddenly made the party noisy. "Mrs. Perry, tell me!" Mrs. Slager was very interested. "Everyone knows that Baron Inshobo has no successors, right?" Mrs. Perry's words made everyone who heard him nod. "Baron Inshobo originally had two sons. The eldest son, Naila, was the legal heir and became a knight. He was a rare nobleman nearby. Unfortunately, he died in the battle." "The second son, Panon, won The position of the heir to the lord, it is a pity that he was immersed in wine and sex, and died not long ago, and neither of them left an heir." Everyone who listened was moved.

"Now, Sir Panlunga believes that his son Dinu has the right to inherit, because his mother is Baron Inshobo's sister." "I think other branches of the Inshobo family will definitely not agree, after all, Inshobo Baron Bo, has always been their family!" Madam Vic said with a slight smile. "That's true. Both sides have the right to inherit. As Baron Inshobo gets older, the conflict between the two families becomes more and more obvious." "What about Baron Inshobo? He didn't express his position?" Kebi Sir Li asked: "In this case, his opinion can largely influence the right of succession." "It is because of this that Baron Inspur hesitated and did not designate an heir." Mrs. Perry said. "This is not a good thing. It will cause a war among the nobles." "Wars are not necessarily true. There are few large-scale private fights now, but a duel before the gods may be proposed. Regarding this, the people present nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Vic thought for a while, and said, "Earl Tetashaw, do you have any comments?" "Ah?" At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Mrs. Vic, a little puzzled.

Mrs. Vic sorted out her words in her heart and said: "According to the rules of the nobility, in this case, the leader of a region has the right to express opinions and supervise the process. I think, in our region, Tetashaw Isn’t the earl the biggest lord? He has the right to express his opinion on this!”… Theoretically so, but can the earl speak? "The people present all showed surprised expressions and said one after another.

At this time in the living room, people's expressions were very rich, such as joy, confusion, approval, appreciation, annoyance and bewilderment.

Only then did people realize that in the "Lower Pact" area, Romon was already the supreme lord, and this created a sharp conflict with the original lord of the "Lower Pakett" area, and with Igor and Adel Temple. . So, in this regard, who should choose to stand in line?

"I don't think Lord Romond will." At this time, Sir Daijuka, who had been calm, said, "My lord has always been concentrating on the construction of the territory and the druid profession, and rarely interferes in the internal affairs of other nobles. That should be the case." "It's true!" The people present breathed a sigh of relief and said one after another.

Sir Dejuka not only kept his own territory because of his friendship with Romon, but his daughter Owenna also obtained a piece of knighthood. If Owenna had no heir, Romon would usually take it back. But it may also be handed over to Dai Jiuka.

Even if there is no such thing, it is said that years ago, Romon had invited Sir Dejuka to be the Director of the Finance Department of Yuanfan Port, which is a big fat job.

"By the way, let me introduce to you. This is my son Berto, Sir Perry. He officially inherited the title of Sir Perry this year and joined the social garden." Mrs. Perry said.

There were also many guests gathered in the living room, and many people were listening to the conversation just now. At this time, they all greeted each other.

Botu is a handsome young man, not tall, with delicate features, but from his blushing expression, it can be seen that this young man is a little shy, saluting to everyone.

Far less diplomatic than his mother.

Everyone responded with kindness.

"By the way, I heard that my lord was promoted to the Earl of Tetashaw. Prince Xiu Senya returned from the pirate battlefield, and even wrote to his brother, asking His Royal Highness Hai Lancha to go back and recuperate. The reason is that he has been fighting for a month. The soldiers are exhausted." Someone else said something else. "Yes, I've heard that too, but it seems that His Royal Highness Hai Lancha refused." "It's easy to understand, everyone, isn't it?" This person's words aroused understanding coaxing from the people present. It is already known that His Highness Hai Lancha is competing for the throne with Prince Xiu Senya. But for local nobles, this is just talk. Unlike the Huaxia Empire, where the battle for the crown prince shakes the foundation of the country and involves countless people, here, the princes' struggle for the throne, in some cases, is just a family affair of the royal family. Some aristocrats even watched these from the standpoint of watching a play, treating them as conversational material with great interest.

It is very rare for Romon to clearly support a certain side. Of course, everyone understands that Romon is the first generation of nobles, and sometimes some recognition is needed. But everyone also believed that the second Earl Tetashaw would weaken his support for a certain side. "However, Yuanfan Port is indeed becoming more and more prosperous. Do you know? It is said that after your lord was promoted to Earl and 16th-level druid, within a week, 300 households applied to become citizens of Yuanfan Port." "That's good." , the city of Yuanfan Port is very beautiful, the transportation is very convenient, and it is becoming more and more prosperous now, maybe in a few decades, it will become a truly prosperous city." "It doesn't take decades, but in five years, it will be Maybe I’ve passed Apus City.” “Five years, that’s too exaggerated, maybe ten years.” “Hmph, it’s been said recently that the Adventurer’s Guild has settled down in the city, why can’t it be a cabin, I’ve already bought one in the city I bought a house." There are not many nobles here, right? "There are already more than a dozen nobles who have bought houses in this city. There are also some run-down nobles from abroad. Although they have lost their territory, they are nobles after all, and they can still communicate with each other."

"makes sense."

An afternoon of lively conversation was easily spent, and at dusk the housekeeper showed up.

"Everyone, it's a great honor to invite you to the dinner."

"Where's the count?" Someone asked casually.

"The Earl is still cultivating, and Eleni has to deal with the affairs of the temple, but it just so happens that Mrs. Bell came back from the academy, and she is honored to have dinner with everyone."

Now, Alini has to deal with the matter of the divine favor of Romon, verifying and reporting it, which is very troublesome.

Bell is now the vice president of Giant Eagle Academy, and she likes this job more and more now.

Now that a lady is present, the banquet will be richer.

"Unfortunately, the Earl does not have a professional wife at home.

"Someone said with emotion.

"Even if there is no wife present, the earl's hospitality is very rich, isn't it?" Some people have different opinions. After a while, the butler led everyone to the restaurant. It was Botou's first visit, and Sir Perry looked around. In the center of the restaurant, there is a long dining table, which is made of marble stone table, with smooth and flawless top.

Above the dining table, there are several bronze lamp panels filled with candles. At this time, there are already servants using long poles to light up.

Just then, a group of people turned up and down the stairs.

The reason is that it is a lady. Watching everyone salute, Sir Boto, Sir Perry knew that it was Mrs. Bell.

It is said that this lady was originally just a maid, so some noble ladies are polite on the surface, but jealous and disdainful in their hearts, but Botu. Sir Perry looked.

I felt that Mrs. Bell had her light golden head coiled on top of her head, revealing her snow-white slender neck and earrings shining with jewels, and she was wearing a purple-red long-sleeved evening dress. It has the temperament of a noble lady, but it is not very beautiful.

At this moment, Mrs. Bell said with a smile: "Welcome everyone, the Earl has been cultivating lately, so I can't entertain you personally. I apologize to you on his behalf... Everyone, please take a seat! Washing hands before meals is a day. According to this custom, the servants come to the guests with pitchers, basins and towels. After washing, the guests and hosts sit down.

The most important guests are seated at the top of the table, and the other guests are seated in order of rank.

The guests were seated one by one, and after a flurry of activity, everyone sat down at the dining table.

After everyone was seated, a group of servants brought appetizers, as well as bread and butter.

Then the wine was served immediately, with two kinds of wine and ale.

And there is a kind of seasoning on it, which is made of wine, grape juice, vinegar, onion, ginger, pepper, saffron and clove. It can be used in cooking to make the dish more delicious. Next, the first course: grilled meat, fin fish with strong flavor, meatballs. Wait for the second course: lamb, ham, pate Third course: cheese, flan, apples

The servants pay attention to the plates of the guests, and are always ready to add soup and vegetables, pour wine and tea, and their movements are clean and neat, with a courteous and respectful attitude.

The level of this meal is already comparable to the general baron's formal banquet. You must know that the noble banquet is not held every day, but in rotation, because the burden is heavy. And the earl was able to entertain these for free, which was already very rich, and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content.

In the restaurant, everyone was talking and enjoying themselves, Botu. Sir Perry noticed that Mrs. Bell was basically silent, just concentrating on talking about dinner and smiling from time to time.

After the dinner, the time is not too early. The nobles in the vicinity can go home, and the nobles who bought houses in the city can stay, continue to chat and play cards, and hold a dance. Berto, Sir Perry noticed that Mrs. Bell quickly left.

The host's departure did not disturb the guests at all, and cheerful dance music was played in every corner of the hall by the musicians. Everyone danced the popular salon dance. Bo Tun. Sir Perry was puzzled. "Son, are you wondering why the host isn't here, and the reception is free?" Mrs. Perry saw her son's confusion and said softly. "Yes, as far as I know, we all take turns holding banquets, and banquets are a heavy expense." Botu said. Sir Perry spoke frankly. This kind of banquet is not a small expense for the nobles.

"It may be like this for ordinary nobles, but for the earl, it's just a drop in the bucket, and only at this time is it unilateral. After a while, there will be reciprocity." Mrs. Perry explained: "In the future, the entertaining guests, They are the nobles who live in the city, and it will not be the earl's unilateral hospitality." "Oh, is that so? Then we come here..." Botu, Sir Perry was still a little reckless.

"We came here just to express our closeness to the earl. Of course, the earl entertained us every day. This period of time will last until no newcomers come. In this way, the camp is almost decided." Boto, Sir Perry He asked again: "Then why did we choose Earl Tetasio?" There is nothing wrong with following him."

"Is it the division and combination of camps recently?" Botu, Sir Perry nodded his head to show that he understood.
