The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Chapter 642 The goodwill of the Modlan family

"Why did the Modlan family entertain me?" After dealing with the Modlan family's butler, this was the question lingering in Ismir's mind. After all, he had no connection with the Modlan family.

Of course, if Lance were by his side, he would definitely laugh at his poor knowledge. After all, the development of nobles is about you giving me something and I giving it to you. The so-called friendship is nothing more than the goodwill released at the beginning. Obviously, the Modlan family It is intended to give some sponsorship to Ismir.

Most of the bridges between nobles are built in this way. The old nobles and emerging nobles will extend a hand of goodwill to the young pioneering nobles. After all, pioneering represents the birth of the real powerful nobles! The friendship and favor of a powerful nobleman are difficult to measure in terms of value!

So when Ismir chose to open up, his status was naturally equated with the powerful aristocracy - as long as he could survive! That's why Roland said that Ismir needs to be responsible for his ambitions! The transition from an honorary lord to a hereditary powerful aristocrat is not a big step!

At the same time, Roland also knew that the seemingly honest and honest young newly promoted Lord under his command was not a simple person. However, the system determined that he was loyal to him, so there was no need for Roland to talk about it. Everyone has a little secret, right? Lord Ismir!

…

"Welcome!" Ismir settled down his entourage and came to the city hall of Palembang alone, where the Modlan family, which did not yet have a fiefdom, was occupying the place. As soon as he arrived, he met the butler of the Modlan family who welcomed him.

"Where is your master?" Ismir asked.

"Hahaha! Hello, Your Excellency, Lord Pioneer Ismir!" Yu Modlan appeared in front of Ismir in an elegant dress.

"..." Ismir's pupils shrank slightly, just now Yu Modlan walked out of the shadows out of thin air! He is actually a fourth-level assassin!

"Hello! Dear Patriarch Modlan! Your Excellency, Earl of the Kingdom!" After a slight daze, Ismir quickly recovered and returned the courtesy.

"I don't know what to give as a first-time visitor. Let me express my gratitude by giving this magic crystal!" Ismir handed the packed gift box to the butler beside him. Although he was not very rich, he still needed to bring it when visiting a great noble. If Lance hadn't told him when he took him to find Yun Feng, this magic crystal would have been a gift to Yun Feng.

"Hahaha! Your Excellency, you are so polite. You don't have to be so polite when you are a guest!" Yu Modlan smiled sincerely. He was very surprised. After all, the etiquette of this newly minted nobleman was quite surprising! Originally, most people in the family were waiting to see the bumpkin make a joke. There is a reason why most of the new nobles are called mud-legged and country bumpkins!

"Let's go! You are the protagonist of the banquet!" Yu Modlan extended his hand to invite.

"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Ismir tried his best to look calm and pretended to be knowledgeable.

So Ismir's first banquet began! It stands to reason that the king should hold a banquet after conferring a noble title, but who is King Roland? The number one pie king, search king, and black-hearted capitalist in China! If you don’t invite him to dinner, it’s just a joke!

"Hello, Lord Ismir!" A young noble girl looked at Ismir and nodded in greeting.

"Hello..." Ismirka said, after all, who is going to tell him who this is?

"This is my little girl, this is my brother..." Yu Modlan introduced everyone to Ismir. It was obvious that this was a family dinner, and Ismir was the only outsider.

"My lord, could I ask where you plan to explore? Of course, please don't blame me if I offend you." The innocent and lively Lisi opened her mouth and asked to get to the heart of the matter. After all, pioneering land is important to pioneering nobles. It needs to be kept secret in the early stage. Of course, it doesn't matter whether the current nobles of the kingdom keep it secret or not. After all, the purpose of keeping it secret is to prevent feuding enemies from making trouble.

"Of course, there is nothing that cannot be said!" Ismir smiled and nodded, thank God! The girl freed herself from the embarrassment. After all, facing the tall candlesticks, silver tableware and various exquisite pre-dinner pastries, Ismir was a little embarrassed.

"I plan to open up the dark forest west of the Swift River! The location is on the other side of Lulong Fortress for the time being!" Ismir thought for a moment.

"Oh my God! You are such a warrior! That is a dark forest!" Lisi looked at Ismir with shock and admiration. After all, the innocent and rebellious Lisi's favorites are undoubtedly various knight novels and warriors. The story and plot of the novel! As a result, Ismail immediately brought the novel into reality...

"Ahem! Please don't take my little girl's jokes seriously, Your Majesty!" Yu Modlan's eyes twitched, feeling as if his daughter had been deceived by the will-o'-the-wisp yellow hair, so he quickly spoke to Ismir, after all, he said that she was Lisi Don't listen either.

"Your Excellency, come and try this Songhua Cake! This was the most popular snack in the empire!" Nanfeng looked at Ismir, who was sweating profusely as he was busy dealing with the crowd, and opened his mouth to help him out. After all, he was a newly promoted noble and was not good at it. The exaggerated politeness between these nobles.

"Hmm! It's so delicious..." Ismir praised him before eating, which made Nanfeng a little dumbfounded. He didn't know who gave him the noble etiquette class, which made the child nervous. It was a normal invitation that made the child stay polite for most of the day.

Soon the maids came to take away the desserts, and then served the soup as an appetizer before the meal.

"Golden Citron and Winterberry Soup! A great appetizer soup!" Yu Modlan introduced. As a host, it is your duty to order dishes for guests.

"It's very refreshing!" Ismir took a few bites.

"As long as it suits your taste!" Lisi smiled and nodded.

"Of course!" Ismir said in a submissive tone.

"Carved grilled lamb chops! Fresh lamb paired with rune red wine..." Nanfeng stood up and cut some for Ismir.

"Hope you have a good appetite!"

"Thank you for the hospitality! This is the most delicious lamb chop I have ever eaten!" Ismir's pupils were shaking, and his eyes were full of surprise. After all, this is an ordinary meal for nobles? I have never tasted this taste in my first 23 years of life!

Soon the main course was brought.

"Haha, you should also know that the first-order monster, the water saw crocodile, is marinated and stewed with a secret sauce and then slowly roasted over low heat. Tsk, tsk, tsk! That taste!" Yu Modlan said proudly, after all, it can be used Treating guests with World of Warcraft as the main dish is a reflection of their heritage. After all, ordinary families cannot catch Warcraft on the spot.

…

"Thanks to the Modlan family for their hospitality, I have already eaten well!" Ismir shook his head and refused Yu Modlan's dessert. He could only say that he still had a long way to learn the luxury of the nobility, but he What I don’t know is that not all nobles have the money to hold banquets all day long. The Modlan family’s daily meal is just toast and some barbecue steak.

After some polite exchanges, the two sides chatted about business again.

"The road to the Dark Forest is extremely difficult, and the Modlan family can't give you much help. However, the Modlan family still abides by the etiquette among nobles. These soldiers are the modlan family's support to you. Let’s open up the gift!” Yu Modlan clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers came out immediately.
