Noble Emblem

059 Surprise

Liang Lidong discovered that this Rex seemed to have been trying to anger him for unknown reasons. Now he actually wants to use words to bully him and use him as a subordinate. This is already another disguised form of ridicule. Because of the talent of 'aristocratic temperament', most people will undoubtedly regard Liang Lidong as an aristocrat. If there is no superior-subordinate relationship, if there is no great influence Due to the gap in title, a nobleman is treated as someone else's subordinate for no reason. This in itself is a great form of discrimination.

Liang Lidong looked at Rex, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes curled up in laughter, like a fox with malicious intentions: "Oh, Sir Emma, ​​how do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"There are also several professionals in my family who have been trained as clan guards since childhood." Rex leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to put pressure on the other party: "If you can cooperate with our clan guards, It won’t be difficult for me to eliminate the enemy’s assassins.”

The so-called clan guards are actually warriors trained by a family since childhood. They are absolutely loyal to the family, and if their contribution is high enough, they can even become a part of the family, transforming from slaves to masters. The implicit meaning of Rex's words is that Liang Lidong will become his clan guard. Anyone with a little self-respect will not be able to stand this kind of suggestion that seems to be harmless but actually has sinister intentions.

Sure enough, when these words came out, the city lord Uther looked a little ugly. This was not because he was facing Liang Lidong in his heart, but because the external enemy was in great danger now. If they were still fighting openly and secretly among themselves, it would be equivalent to half of their output. The other two nobles looked a little excited, and seemed to be in the rhythm of watching a show.

Liang Lidong became more and more certain. The triangular eyes seemed to want to irritate him. He smiled and said: "Your Excellency Emma's suggestion is good, but there is a small thing that needs to be modified. In terms of status, your clan guard should accept my suggestion. Commander, Your Excellency, just stand back and watch the show. I will find a way to deal with the enemy's assassin, what do you think?"

Since the other party had bad intentions, Liang Lidong didn't want to let the other party get his way. The other party wanted to force him to get angry, but he just stayed calm. And he just noticed that when Rex said those words, the guard behind him moved back, as if he wanted to do something, but stopped when he saw that Liang Lidong was not angry.

Since the other party wanted him to take action, Liang Lidong would deprive the other party of his right to command. Because Liang Lidong is a player, his worldview is very different. He does not have the so-called noble dignity, so trying to use this method to make him angry is tantamount to lighting a fire in the mud, which is completely impossible. Seeing that Liang Lidong was not angry, Rex himself became a little angry: "Humph, my family's clan guards, when will it be the turn of outsiders to take command."

"Haha, when will it be my turn to assist a few clan guards as a spell caster?" Liang Lidong said this calmly, even with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it. : "As far as I know, the highest title in the border city should be earl, but Mr. Rex's style is so impressive that even the city lord can't match it, so he must be a duke."

Rex suddenly jumped up with anger, pointing at Liang Lidong and trembling continuously. Then Liang Lidong continued: "I heard that people are more likely to have strokes as they get older. People who have strokes will have their hands and feet shaking constantly... Mr. Rex, since you are already old, stop wandering around and go home." Rest, wouldn't it be nice to let the younger members of the family do these hard and tiring tasks for you, or do you think you are comfortable sitting in the position of patriarch and are not willing to give up?"

Liang Lidong's words were a bit vicious...but the other people in the room smiled when they heard it, as if Liang Lidong's words had reached their point of laughter.

And Rex's reaction was even more exaggerated. He shouted with a red face, slammed the table hard, and cursed: "Beta, you are going too far. Do you really think that my Emma family is easy to bully? Don't think that you The city lord will support you..."

City Lord Uther coughed and interrupted: "First of all, let me make it clear, Sir Rex, I will not interfere with the personal grudge between you and Beta."

Liang Lidong then smiled and said: "Since this is a personal grudge, Sir Rex, how about we have an honorary duel?"

The so-called duel of honor is an extreme solution adopted by two nobles when they have irreconcilable conflicts. Each of the two families sent one person out to fight in a fair duel under the witness of many nobles. The loser had to donate one-third of his land to the winner, and he had to take the initiative to avoid the winner when meeting him in public in the future.

"This is an outdated custom. There is no need for me to agree to it." Rex said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, let's put the personal grudges aside for now." Uther clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then he said: "Because there are many assassins at the Temple of Life, I suggest that everyone Everyone comes to live in our city lord's residence. This place is heavily guarded, and Mr. Beta is in charge, so I think it should be very safe here. Of course, if anyone has a better way, you can tell us, and we can refer to it. Anyway, we just need to do it again Hold on for about three months, and when summer comes, victory will belong to our side.”

Liang Lidong listened to Uther's words and looked at Rex. Seeing that his face was red and blue, he must have been extremely angry, but he still endured it and did not leave. This made Liang Lidong feel more and more that this guy had an agenda, but what on earth had to do to make him angry for it to be effective? After much deliberation, Liang Lidong couldn't figure it out.

Uther letting everyone live in the castle first is also a feasible method. Although assassins pose a certain threat during the day, their home turf is at night. As long as a human being is human, there will always be a time to take a nap at night. Although Liang Lidong can see through all illusions, he cannot guarantee that he will not relax. Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves? But here, because it is a military fortress, it is heavily guarded. Even if an assassin wants to get in, it will be extremely difficult.

Moreover, Babara will soon be contracted as a familiar. Cats are nocturnal animals, and they have special expertise in stealth and anti-stealth. They also have a strong sense of territory, making them very suitable as vigilants at night.

Therefore, Liang Lidong naturally agreed with this suggestion. He still doesn't know how much advantage the Temple of Life has in the overt and covert battle with the city lord, but as a weakling, it is a very wise decision to stick to the existing resources and formation.

"Since everyone agrees with my judgment, let me ask you to choose the floor you want to live on." Uther stood up: "After the decision is made, I will immediately bring your family members to the castle. Of course, everyone The private soldiers can only live in the barracks."

The middle-aged fat man from the Mugunghua family smiled and said: "It should be so... I don't know much about the level of command in combat. Since my private soldiers will live in the military camp soon, how about the city lord temporarily commanding them during this period?"

Uther's eyes lit up. He liked this kind of knowledgeable person the most: "Okay, I promise I will treat everyone equally."

"Then I'll choose the fourth floor." The fat middle-aged man stood up and said, "Now let me go and see if there is any problem with where I will end up in the next three months."

"Please." Uther stood up and made a gesture.

The fat middle-aged man nodded, put his hands behind his back, and left slowly. Afterwards, Rex and Wood chose the fifth and sixth floors respectively, but they did not say that they would hand over the private soldiers to the command of the city lord. After they left, Uther snorted softly, and then asked Liang Lidong: "Where do you plan to live? There are only the fifth and seventh floors now."

“Where did Karl live when he was here?”

"On the seventh floor, there is a magic experimental type that he specially built."

Liang Lidong replied: "Then I will live there."

"Isn't this good? Isn't it too unlucky?" Uther looked a little embarrassed.

Liang Lidong smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, the soul is just a kind of energy. Carl was not my opponent when he was alive. Even if his soul is wandering in this world, I am not afraid of him at all. The soul has lost the protection of the body and the fighting ability." At least reduce it by more than half.”

"It's up to you." Uther shrugged lightly.

Liang Lidong didn't want to be alone with Uther for too long. He left the room and walked up the stairs, but instead of going directly to the seventh floor, he went to the fourth floor silently. Then he was on the fourth floor walkway and saw a fat middle-aged man standing in front of the window looking down at the scenery.

"Why did you call me here?" Liang Lidong walked over and asked.

The fat middle-aged man turned his head and said, "You really understand the code gestures of our Althea family."

"Nonsense, I came up with this set of gestures..." Liang Lidong suddenly froze because he was just thinking about Rex's problem and didn't pay attention to it, but now he felt something was wrong. The hand gesture code he came up with should only exist in the game. Why is it actually used by the Althea family in the real world!
