Blue Sword

Chapter 219 Dismantling the Cangqing Sword

Various dishes have been served. After the first three sky-high-priced dishes, Sidrifa and others ordered several more staple dishes one after another, and by this time the entire table was full.

Ludwig cut the capon absentmindedly and chatted with everyone present. From time to time, he brought up a funny topic, which made the girls laugh and kept the atmosphere at the dinner table from being too cold.

In fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

The current head of the Weisbach family is his father, the Duke of Bavaria, who has two sons and two daughters. Ludwig himself, as the eldest son, was raised as the successor to the Duke of Bavaria.

The second son, Henry, his father originally wanted to send him to the Diocese of Cologne to engage in scientific research. However, he had no interest in scientific research himself. Instead, he had a special liking for hunting and fighting. Therefore, his father changed his mind and sent him to become a soldier with His Majesty. Guards officer.

The third daughter, Elizabeth, like other daughters of great nobles, received various etiquette training since childhood, and she had already married the Wetting family of Thuringia last year.

Only the youngest daughter, Eleanor, has been favored by her father since she was a child. She didn't want to take etiquette lessons or tie her waist like other aristocratic ladies, and her father also let her do it all. Elizabeth didn't know how many times she got into trouble because of this. However, although her father patiently comforted her, his preference for Eleanor remained unabated, and sometimes Even Ludwig himself became jealous.

Later, she learned how to wield swords and guns from her second brother Henry, and joked that she would become a knight lord in the future, and her father agreed. Of course, this was impossible. The Duke of Bavaria was not childless and insisted on giving the family fiefdom to his daughter. It will inevitably make other vassals dissatisfied.

Ludwig regarded himself as the heir of the family, so he secretly found Eleanor and explained his father's difficulties to her in detail.

Then Eleanor ran away from home...even Ludwig was scolded by his father and was imprisoned at home for half a year.

Of course, Ludwig was aware of his father's unique attitude - his father did not want Eleanor to assume any family responsibilities like other children, but only wanted her to live a happy life.

If she loves theology, send her to a monastery; if she wants to fall in love, she can also be allowed to freely choose a partner from other noble children without worrying about the family's marriage needs.

Even if she really wanted to be a lord, her father could allow her to marry a vassal with a small background, so that she could calmly control the power of the territory after marriage.

However, no matter what, the leader of a small mercenary group was definitely not within the scope of his father's permission.

So this made Ludwig very confused. If his father knew about this matter, then the Cangqing Sword would definitely cease to exist. The only fate for this leader named Aske would be to be hanged.

With Eleanor's character, she would never allow this kind of thing, so she would definitely break up with her father.

To be fair, although this sister always cheated on her brother, and she was even closer to the second brother than the eldest brother, Ludwig still liked her very much as the eldest brother, and of course it was impossible to sit back and watch her completely break up with her father.

Therefore, before his father knew about this matter, it was of course the most appropriate way to dismantle the Cangqing Sword mercenary group in advance and hide Asik in the snow.

Once Asik becomes his vassal or knight, even his father will have no way to touch his men.

(According to Western feudal rules, the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. The superiors cannot cross over the subordinates to touch the subordinates of the subordinates)

Damn I’m a genius! Ludwig took a bite of the lobster and felt the sweet and sour taste of the white wine rippling between his lips and teeth along with the taste of the lobster meat.

A certain feeling of complacency and determination also rose in my heart.

Seemingly calm, Ludwig began to cleverly lead the conversation at the dinner table to the previous change.

"Ah, speaking of the mutation, do you know, Your Majesty the Viscount?" Nora's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "The source of the mutation is actually a secret research institute of the ancient Solomon Empire!"

here we go again! The girls were unable to hold their foreheads. Nora, how many times do you want to repeat this topic?

Ludwig nodded and smiled, showing an expression that said, "Keep going, I'm very interested."

So Nora vividly described Richard Turner, the possession of the Mind Flayer, and the terrifying and mysterious underground environment, and then began to highlight the initial disdain of the swordsmen, and then Asik showed his strength, which suddenly made everyone He was so shocked that he kneeled down and licked him in various ways.

Her eloquence is very good, and her voice is clear and pleasant. Even the girls who have heard it many times can't help but become involved in the story again.

Ludwig listened carefully and couldn't help but make a preliminary assessment of Asker's strength: In any case, he should be qualified to be my knight.

In addition, he naturally noticed that the pretty short-haired girl in front of him also had an unabashed admiration for Asker, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Could it be a love triangle? No! Sister, please be angry! It’s okay to fall in love with the leader of a mercenary group, but you still have to compete with other women for men! You are the eldest lady of the Weisbach family!

"I haven't asked yet, but this is..." Ludwig held up the wine glass gracefully.

"Oh, I'm Nora." Nora introduced herself, "Nora Valenius Licinius."

Third paragraph name, Licinius? It sounds like the Licinius family, a wealthy family in Solomon City. Are you a branch member of that family?

Ludwig thought to himself and said with a smile:

"Licinius? I am very familiar with this surname. After all, I am in Gaoting's factory and have business dealings with His Excellency Bishop Varian of the Licinius family." Ludwig took a sip of wine and remained calm. The location reads "I know the current patriarch of your family."

"Varian? That's my brother." Nora said.

"Pfft!" Ludwig turned his head at lightning speed, and finally sprayed the wine onto the carpet next to him, without contaminating the sumptuous dishes on the table.

He coughed, picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and smiled: "Is he your brother? What a coincidence..."

"But my brother doesn't do business." Nora said curiously, "My sister Kapasilin is in charge of my family's business. Well...you must have remembered it wrong, right?"

"It's true that I remembered it wrong, I'm sorry." Ludwig wiped his lips and burst into tears in his heart.

Of course he knew that Ms. Capasilin was in charge of business in the Licinian family. This was not because he thought that the girl in front of him was an ordinary member of the Licinian family branch, so he mentioned the name of Bishop Varian. come on?

Who would have thought that this girl is the daughter of the Licinius family! Sister, you didn’t tell me earlier and you tricked your brother again!

Under Ludwig's secretly resentful look, Eleanor frowned, put down her knife and fork and said:

"Nora and I have a very good relationship. You don't mind losing your temper in front of her."

Damn, that’s not what my eyes mean! Ludwig was speechless and could only forcefully end the topic with a smile:

"Thank you Miss Nora for sharing your wonderful story. I would like to propose a toast to Mr. Asker."
