Chapter 289 The Golden Duke
In the afternoon.
The Saint Lilith arrived at the prosperous port.
Unlike yesterday's departure, the Northland Squadron has returned to the port.
When Jiang He came to the side of the ship from the captain's room, two huge ships came into view. The main guns on the bow of the ship were no less powerful than the Yonggu cannon. There were four decks and a total of 360 gun windows. The full load was estimated to reach about 2,000 people.
The second-level cruiser, known as the mobile fortress on the sea, was undoubtedly the main force of each fleet. When the first-level golden warship could not hide, it was the absolute protagonist of the naval battle stage.
Ten third-level destroyers and more than 40 fourth-level frigates were lined up in the port waiting for supplies. Tens of thousands of workers went up and down to transport supplies and dismantle goods. Soldiers rushed to the taverns in the outer city of the port like peaks, and the singing of nightingales seemed to echo over the city.
At this moment, the prosperous port was so noisy that it was almost a market.
Roland got off the ship first.
Jiang He turned around and said, "Two cadres must be present on the ship at all times. Wuhe will be responsible for selling six sets of constructed armor, half of which will be used as salary and the other half will be used to buy supplies. You can go to the outer city to relax, but the evil soldiers should try to act with the cadres. Zhuang Ya will be led by Lao Hei. If you have any questions, just call me directly."
"Understood." Everyone said in unison.
Jiang He got off the boat. On the shore, Roland was talking cordially with a white-haired butler. Although he was old, his facial lines were unusually soft and clear, and his ears were pointed, which obviously contained elven blood.
Beside the two of them, there was also an elegant young beauty, with soft long hair falling from her slender back, eyes like crystal emeralds, tall and outstanding figure, and a gorgeous long dress embellished with jewels.
She smiled faintly and watched the two people greet each other.
The elf butler saw someone coming, made an invitation gesture to Roland, and then took the initiative to step forward to greet the guest.
"Mr. Rhine Augustus, I am amazed by your bravery. The master praised you highly this morning."
"Nice to meet you." Jiang He shook hands with the other party, with a slightly strange expression. This guy was actually just an ordinary knight.
The Elf Butler introduced: "This is Miss Olivia De York, a family member, the master's granddaughter, and the most beautiful emerald in the prosperous port."
"Hello, Baron Rhine."
Olivia smiled and put her hand on the back, revealing some inside information in her words.
"Nice to meet you."
Jiang He shook hands with the other party, which was much more normal. With the strength of an apprentice knight, he could be temporarily labeled as a socialite.
Roland whispered: "Rhine, kiss your hand!"
Jiang He calmly stretched out his hand and put his hand on the back.
On the shore of the port, Roland and the old butler were stunned when they saw this.
Olivia was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed. If it weren't for the lady's etiquette in social occasions, she would have turned around and left.
Jiang He said expressionlessly: "I ate a golden apple. I don't know if it will affect this lady. Please forgive me."
Humiliating a direct member of the Deyok family in person is a big deal.
The elf butler's eyes wandered. The golden apple was filled with cursed poison, and a specific potion needed to be taken regularly every month. This matter was done by the young Count Deyok. It caused Rhine's strong dissatisfaction at the moment, but he was relieved. After all, a gunpowder barrel that was ignited but temporarily did not explode would usually explode violently.
Olivia glanced at the elf butler. She knew without asking that it was probably someone in the family who caused trouble again. The young Count Deyok was the eldest son and heir of the Duke, and also her uncle, but recently the Duke had devoted too much energy to his youngest son, causing opposition from some guys.
A short silence passed.
Olivia took someone's hand, bowed her head and kissed it, with a dignified and elegant posture. She believed that this was her obligation to the family.
"Your beauty is intoxicating."
Jiang He nodded, still with a slightly dissatisfied look.
Roland politely turned aside. Although the master humiliated the servant, Olivia was just a member of the family. He was the Duke's great knight and was loyal to only one person in his life.
"Hahaha, I think today's event will become a good story. Ladies and gentlemen, please move to Fort De York. There will be a grand wedding banquet tonight." The elf butler stepped out to smooth things over.
A waiter led the warhorse, and the four left the shore.
Stepping into the city gate, the stone slabs were straight and wide, and the sound of horse hooves and pedestrians' footsteps symphony. Most of the houses on the street were built of bricks and stones, with staggered wooden beams and towering spires. The fountains in the square gurgled, and the water splashed around the sculptures. Various stone statues of great knights were lifelike.
The hawking sounds of shops on both sides of the street were heard one after another, the aroma of bread was lingering, and children were playing around, waving wooden swords in their hands, pretending to duel with knights.
From the shore to the city, and from the outer city to the inner city, the prosperous port is the second largest port in the Stuart Kingdom, with a population of nearly one million. The grandeur of Djork Castle is far superior to that of Viscount Heru Castle, and it looks like a small city.
Olivia rode side by side with someone, an ancient nobleman, who would not let the guest get lost or embarrassed. Her responsibility was to entertain the great knight beside her, a strong man who killed Silver Sword Rosad, and worthy of the Djork family’s serious treatment.
The four of them arrived at the castle. The first floor was the banquet hall. The high dome was hidden in the darkness, and the rough stone walls were full of dents from the rubbing of time. Several weathered brocades hung around it. The colors were dull, but they still outlined the prosperous hunting scenes of the knights in the past. Gold and silver threads were interspersed between them, occasionally reflecting a cold light.
The candlelight of the banquet hall was brilliant, and the members of the White Rose Knights stood on both sides. They were full of full armor like a guard. The surface metal was shiny and dark, and the hands and chest armor were engraved with the family emblem.
"It seems that the banquet is about to start." The elven housekeeper invited the three to step into it.
Hundreds of noble guests talked in the banquet hall. The lively scene set off the knights like sculptures. The band in the corner played a gentle law, but at a glance, Jiang He saw the old man sitting on the big chair at the end. He Wearing armor and dancing with conversation, the personality is incompatible, strong, burly, and savvy.
Exclusive prompts of executive officers are given information.

Jiang He looked back, and Duke of Duke was beyond imagination.
The ordinary living spirit of the silver era exceeds 21.
The Elite Soul of the Silver Age reaches 30.
The peak of the Baiyin era, the whole attribute exceeds 31.
According to the 30 % reduction of the lower life body, Jiang He suspected that he was the pinnacle of the bronze, and it was difficult to cause serious injuries to the golden body of the gold even if he held the long hate dragon gun.
Nympho
The Duke noticed the gaze, and looked back. There were Roland and Olivia, and the new guy's identity was ignored.
"Father, Baron Rhein is more handsome than imagined. I thought he should be a burly man."
Next to the big chair, young people who were only 18 or nine years old opened their heads. He was the only family member who could stay here. As a young son, he got beyond imagination for half a year.
The Duke is known for its majesty, but at this moment, a gentle laughter showed, "Your big brother is very harsh. This little guy should be dissatisfied now. From now on, the Witcher Tower is allocated to you a bottle of purification agent every month."
The purification agent produced by the great wizard consumed the great energy can alleviate various curses and high quality.
As for the compensation of Rhein's Rhein, it is a baron of the baron.
Browni hesitated for a moment, saying, "Baron Rhine is very young, I think it is more suitable to hold him with friendship."
The Duke nodded and taught: "You have your own opinion. This is very good, but you need to use different people to treat different people."
"At that time, Roland was able to join the Knight Knights because of the colonial military meritorious merit, but the crazy king gave him a whipping punishment because of his blonde. As a result, if you are him, what will you think. "
Browni groaned for a while, and said uncertainty: "Hate and anger?"
The Duke answered with a smile, "Yes, but I think it is more blank."
"The first half of Roland's life was completely denied. All sadness, regrets, and pain in the ten years of war will be vivid. He does not want these to lose meaning, so when I send out an olive branch, he becomes more loyal, and even to a pathological point. I just hope to prove that I am right, and I also hate the royal family. "
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
The duke's tone became slightly solemn, "but Rhein Augustus is different. His age and strength are beyond the category of courtiers. Indeed, the seventeen -year -old knight level. "
Brownie looked up, "I think I should choose a member of the family to marry him,
The Duke laughed, "The golden apple I took out is not toxic, it is your elder brother's own claim."
Brownie's face is gloomy and unobstructed. According to the current family situation, the selected woman will be close to his younger son who is valued by him. It has reduced Baron Rhein's initial favors to the family to freezing point. When you marry in this situation, it is better to be regarded as a slavery. Anyone is hard to be willing.
"Then why don't you stop him."
The Duke sideways calmly.
In the past, the old king was alive, and he did not mean to fight the royal family, so the heirs' cultivation was taken into a route.
However, the situation changes, and the crazy prince is simply an unacceptable timing bomb, so the heir needs to take the development route.
Compared to seven sons and more daughters, the only advantage of the younger son is young and strong plastic.
But this does not mean that he has completely abandoned the eldest son who was carefully cultivated. If he "prefer" the young son, he can force the eldest son to break through the original restraint, then the former is not a victim.
As the title knight, he has the surplus of the competition of the sons, and finally selects a qualified and satisfactory heir.
The Duke's eyes were devoid of emotion, and the gentle smile and the elder's teachings seemed to be nothing.
[Why do you think it has to be you?]
Brownie felt the pressure that made him extremely painful, and he could even read the meaning in his father's eyes.
The Duke ignored the other party's previous inquiry and said, "In the war with Wyatt, you are the nominal commander of the fleet. The specific command is still controlled by the Earl of Rock and the Earl of White Sail. I will not leave the prosperous port."
Brownie asked with a complicated expression: "Father is a titled knight. Leaving the field will make the victory or defeat uncertain."
The Duke smiled lightly and said, "As an heir, you need to distinguish your real enemy. If I leave, the Bourbon Kingdom must consider the possibility of a national war, so there will inevitably be a titled knight facing me when the war starts."
"And our enemy is the royal family. This war is intended to demonstrate and warn some nobles of the Bourbon Dynasty not to intervene in the war in the near future. The difference between the noble war and the national war is very big. Why should I help the royal family fight the national war?"
The Duke resolutely said: "If you want to fight, you have to become a king before you fight."
"What if you lose?" Brownie spoke bluntly, perhaps because of the indifference shown by the other party before, his tone was very sharp.
"Then stay in the Chaos Corridor." The Duke really laughed this time, "A bunch of trash want to live in the inner city of the capital, are they worthy?"
...
"The nobles in the Chaos Corridor are all brave warriors."
Olivia led Jiang He to introduce in front of the mural.
"The four earl families all have the combat power of the peak of the Great Knight, and the Rock Earl has reached this level himself. One earl guards the Chaos City in the north of the Chaos Corridor, and the other is responsible for the New World Colony. The other two are here today."
Olivia noticed that many ladies and girls were secretly looking at the people around them, but her presence obviously made these guys feel restrained.
Jiang He then asked, "Whose wedding is today?"
Olivia smiled and replied, "The youngest son of the Duke, my uncle Brownie. As for the woman, she is the illegitimate daughter sent by the Wyatt family. Of course, she is nominally a legitimate daughter, and her fate... may not be very good."
In the center of the banquet hall, a girl in a blue skirt dealt with greetings from all sides. She had an elk-like ignorant look, and her personal maids and teaching maids surrounded her.
Every chaotic noble looked at her with pity or malice, and a few were amazed.
At this juncture when the war was about to break out, Miss Wyatt dared to come to the banquet. The nobles didn't know whether to say she was brave or ignorant.
Olivia led Jiang He to meet and talk with the chaotic nobles one by one. Thanks to the death of Silver Sword Rosad, everyone seemed very kind until the middle-aged man as tall as an iron tower appeared.
"Want to have an honorable duel?" Earl of Rock said enthusiastically, "Before I met you, I had never felt threatened by a knight."
Olivia explained in a low voice that the honorable duel was a tradition passed down for thousands of years in the Old World. The knight who lost the duel must lay down his weapon from then on, otherwise he would be unanimously hostile to the knights. Earl of Rock was an extremely militant fanatic.
Jiang He would naturally not agree to such a useless invitation.
"Earl, you are far less free than you think."
"The sword is in my own hand."
"Not necessarily. I am afraid that in the eyes of the Duke, my position on the team has been determined. Once you and I duel, you can't help but stand in your position. Think clearly next time before inviting."
Jiang He passed by the other party.
Earl of Rock was a little embarrassed. He didn't plan to take sides in the battle for succession. As the peak of the Great Knight, the Duke would not allow him to go down and cause the balance to tilt completely. The other party might be right. His sword was sometimes not in his hand.
