Chapter 658 (1/2)
Storm castle... Glenville?
The dark haired wizard's face moved slightly, and two extremely key words immediately merged into his mind, squinting at Aton glenwell in front of him.
Because of Charles Grenville, Loren was no stranger to the Grenville family in storm castle;
This is a family comparable to the red blood castle in all aspects - their territory is closer to the South than Turin; The prosperous trade and warm climate make storm Castle more like a garden city than red blood castle;
The warm climate makes storm Castle an important granary in the south, and their dairy products and all kinds of fresh fruits are also very popular; ”Nightingale” wine is as famous as ”red blood”, and even better at some level;
At least the black haired wizard has heard Charlotte complain more than once that red blood wine is too spicy and only suitable for meals; The taste is far less sweet and delicate than that of ”Nightingale”, and the aroma is more abundant.
The only regret may be that storm castle is less famous for its bravery, and the number of territorial knights is the reverse of the 13 lords... However, the casting technology of storm castle is very excellent, and even has dwarf craftsmen who are extremely rare in the Empire; Every year, Byrne and even the imperial nobles send thousands of orders.
The abundant financial resources enable the Glenville family of storm castle to have a great voice in the South; In particular, many Knight lords with minerals in their territory have relatively poor land. They can only feed their neighbors by relying on the output of storm castle.
It was because of this that Charlotte mentioned that night how the count of storm Castle justified her in front of the Lords of the South - without the nod of the Grenville family, their gold and silver mines were a pile of stones, and thousands could not compare with a piece of bread.
”It's a pleasure to meet you, Aton glenwell.”
The voice of the count of storm Castle interrupted the black haired wizard's meditation and dragged him back to reality. His gentle expression made people feel like a spring breeze: ”I hope you won't think that we storm castle are a group of vulgar people when we meet for the first time.”
The palm of the other party is white and slender, but the finger joints, especially the middle finger, index finger and ring finger, have a thick cocoon.
This is a right hand that can only hold a sword and open a bow, and is very good at it - judged the black haired wizard.
”You're too modest, count.” he raised his mouth in a formulaic way, and Loren quietly released his right hand. ”I'm impressed by your brother... No one can beat all Byrne in terms of etiquette.”
”My brother?” Aton suddenly lost his head and suddenly realized, ”Oh... You're talking about Charles, aren't you?”
Huh?
Loren picked his eyebrows, and his expression was also inexplicable: ”excuse me, is there anything wrong?”
”Nothing, I'm very sorry.” with a bitter smile, the Earl of storm Castle waved his hand apologetically: ”just because of Charles, you may not know much about the Glenville family.”
”My brother and I broke up at a very young age because of some difficult words; if the Turin family hadn't been willing to take him in, this guy might have left Bain for another place - so Charles wouldn't be happy if he heard that you tied me with him.”
With that, Aton shook his head helplessly, sighed and lowered his head.
The black haired wizard with strange expression twitched at the corners of his mouth and looked sideways at Lucian beside him; Sure enough... The grey pupil boy who was aware of it snorted coldly, tilted his head and embarrassed to avoid Lauren's eyes.
This is really... Brothers in the world are the same.
”I heard that you were the only one who took the initiative to support the count of red blood castle at the meeting.” realizing that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, the black haired wizard quickly changed the topic:
”We have to say that this is very unexpected; because all the southern lords except you chose to declare war on the Empire.”
”Of course, to do so is to seek death - the Lords of the North deal with the Empire all the year round and have some self-knowledge; while the Knights of the south are a group of arrogant maniacs. They only remember the heroic posture of the black Duke, but forget the roar of the dragon.”
The gentle Aton said calmly, without concealing his contempt for his family, with a natural expression: ”the most important thing is that Turin is connected with the Grenville family. Of course, I have to help my relatives.”
