Chapter 112 (1/2)
”Did you drink last night?”
The young count looked at his wizard adviser in surprise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help cocking up: ”it seems that he drank a lot... What was the fun last night?”
”Just suddenly I can't help it.” looking at each other's strange eyes, Lauren smiled disapprovingly: ”by the way, relax your nerves recently.”
Lu Wen nodded convincingly. He knew how much burden Lauren had borne, especially after the fire in the granary: ”it's too hard for you these days. Let's go hunting when it's over and the weather turns sunny.”
”This... I'm afraid not.” with a wry smile, Loren took out the rescue letter from the elves and handed it to the count: ”it was sent before.”
”... have you begun to invade the ancient wood forest on a large scale?” after reading the letter, Lu Wen widened his eyes and filled his expression with shock: ”no wonder we will meet ogres on the way here. It seems that several settlements have broken through the ELF's defense line!”
”I must inform my father about this as soon as possible. If the elves are finished, it is absolutely impossible for Shenlin castle to carry the attack of hundreds of Ogres - no matter what they want, they can give them. These monsters must not step across the border of the ancient wood forest. I want to see the elves' messengers in person!”
”I've already talked with the leader of their mission.” at this point, Loren didn't forget to bend over a little and nod: ”I'm very sorry, but the situation was very urgent, so I had to make an opinion.”
”I promised them that as long as I was willing to stand on your side when the nobles of shenlinbao rebelled, Duke lottel would provide them with enough support. If you don't want to...”
”No, you've done very well. We're short of people we can trust now.” Luwen waved his hand and smiled at Loren: ”you're not only my wizard consultant, but also my friend. I believe your judgment.”
”So, where are those elf soldiers now and how long will it take to get to the castle if necessary?”
”Not far away, a deserted farm is in place. As long as they give a signal, they will come,” Loren explained. ”After all, they are so different from humans. Coming rashly will certainly arouse suspicion.”
The young count nodded, and then seemed to think of something: ”speaking of this, those who were caught trying to destroy the granary are still in the dungeon, muttering nonsense all day!”
”One said he saw an ancient evil god, the other said he saw a vampire, and some guys vowed to hear the devil singing.” speaking of this, even Lu Wen smiled: ”how on earth did you do it?”
”Well, I'm a wizard.” Loren shrugged his shoulders and smiled playfully. ”I can show them something... That doesn't exist.”
”I don't want to say it. I don't care anyway.” the count shrugged his shoulders. ”As long as they live well and let them go when their families send ransom, land and food - it's really cheap, these damn moths!”
”In the past, I would kill all of them regardless of everything. But now I am an earl, and I want to be a good earl, which means I can't do what I want and must be restrained.”
”My father said that it's a good Lord to let nobles fear and civilians love.” Lu Wen suddenly said to himself and smiled softly: ”now I think this sentence may be a little narrow; it's wrong to blindly pursue the love of civilians or intimidate nobles with killing and criminal law.”
”The Lord... Is like a judge. The rich may not be wrong, and the poor may not be good. Giving them justice and letting them perform their duties is what the Lord should do.”
For the first time, Lauren looked at Reuven Fred with a little more respect.
Although this speech was full of lofty tone, it did look like a count. After only two months of polishing, Lu Wen completed his transformation. It is no longer the grumpy and impatient dandy when he first came.
This is also a good thing for Loren - although I hope Luwen can trust himself 100%, it doesn't mean I also hope the other party is a moron who depends on himself in everything. It's too tired.
It was less than ten days before Sir Aaron came back. Whatever Barry senna and his cronies want to do, it must be within ten days.
If you were yourself, when would you do it? Loren suddenly fell into a state of thinking, and his dark pupils scanned the hall of the castle.
