Chapter 100 Barnett
At this time, Byland Fort had become a large military camp, and people vassalized by the Kent family gradually gathered here.
The nobles and knights who arrived first hunted or held tournaments every day, and the formerly silent Bayland Castle became extremely noisy.
On this day, the Earl of Kent held a banquet in the castle hall for the family vassals who had arrived.
While everyone was drinking the wine from the feudal lord's house, they were cursing the lord of Arda, and they all expressed their intention to deal with this arrogant and rude boy for the feudal lord.
The reason the earl told his vassals for the war was naturally not that the other party rejected some of his "requests", but under another banner:
Lord Paul Greiman of Alda placed Lord Bailding under house arrest. Myron Garnard, and sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Bailding. Viscount Angelo, the steward of Bairding's seal, fled to Emden for help. Of course, the Kent family had to deal with the overbearing and bullying behavior of the Gleyman family. We cannot sit idly by.
Angelo was also invited to the banquet.
Since the last time they met and made a bid, the count had never summoned him again, and all his requests for visits fell into vain. Angelo's heart became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more desperate day by day.
Just when Angelo thought that the Earl of Kent was going to let him down by ignoring him and then get out of his own way, he himself was indeed disheartened and started to pack his things and think about turning to another place. , but the earl sent someone to inform him to meet in the castle.
During this meeting, Angelo was informed of a piece of news that made him ecstatic. The Kent family decided to send troops to attack Alda and teach Paul Grayman a lesson for his bullying behavior.
Angelo suddenly felt as if the dark clouds in the sky had cleared away. The count's face was not as smelly as before, and the castle was not as gloomy as before.
The next series of actions of the Kent family convinced him that the Earl was going to use force. The knights and militiamen began to gather at Fort Byland. If the Earl was still perfunctory, it was absolutely impossible to create such a big thing. Formation battle.
Now he feels that Maltz Kent is closer than his own father.
Before this banquet started, he was told to be fully prepared. Angelo understood it from his heart and made a draft in his stomach for several days.
After the banquet began, in his impassioned speech, Paul Greenman had become a heinous bastard, irritating some guys whose heads had been burned by chivalry (there are still such people) to indignation and petitioning for a fight.
Count Maltz Kent sat at the front seat with squinted eyes, sipping his "drink" while watching Angelo's performance.
The effect is good, hum! Graiman, let me see what you do this time.
Just when he started to think about how to distribute the spoils, the housekeeper came over quietly and whispered in his ear: "Master, Doctor Barnett is here."
Kent The earl was so startled that he almost couldn't hold the glass in his hand and dropped it to the ground.
He hurriedly asked: "Did you invite him in?"
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said: "I remember your instructions, and I have asked him to wait for you in the small living room at the back."
< br>The Earl of Kent nodded, turned around and waved to his son.
Jia Aisi quickly came to his father's side and only heard his father say: "You host the banquet for me. I have something important to do and I have to leave temporarily."
After finishing speaking, Jia Aisi did not wait for Ace responded and got up and left in a hurry.
Jia Ais looked at his father's leaving figure with a puzzled expression. In the past, when his father talked about "important matters", he would always discuss it with him. What happened today?
......
The Earl of Kent almost jogged to the door of the small living room. He did not push the door open, but stood outside the door and tidied his clothes.
Then he ordered the butler: "Go find ten guards and personally lead them to guard this place. No one is allowed to come near."
"Yes, sir." The butler immediately went to find the guards. Went.
After feeling that everything was OK, the Earl reached out his hand and gently pushed the door open. A man in a black cloak was standing in front of a mural, seemingly admiring it. His back was facing the door of the living room. Even when the door opened, the man had no intention of turning around.
The Earl of Kent closed the door of the living room, bent down and bowed to the man, and greeted softly: "Teacher Barnett, long time no see."
Earl The posture and voice at this time were indescribably humble and respectful. If other people who knew the count, such as Angelo and Emerson, or even the count's own son Jais, heard him use this posture and this tone, If you speak, your eyes will definitely be blown away.
The cloaked man slowly turned around, took off the hood covering his head, and revealed his face.
This is a muscular man in his forties. There is not a single hair on his smooth head. Instead, there are strange tattoo patterns. These tattoo lines extend downward and form patterns again through the face. , and then continued to extend downward into the collar.
The patterns formed by the tattoos are a bit like some kind of words or symbols, and there is a strangeness everywhere.
The man's eyes revealed a kind of indifference, a kind of indifference that treats others as if they were nothing. In short, he gave people the impression that it was not at all related to the profession of "healer".
"Malts, long time no see."
The man in the cloak responded with a deep voice.
The Earl of Kent straightened up, walked to the man he called "teacher" and named Barnett, and said: "Teacher, please sit down and talk."
The man named Barnett The man nodded, walked to the seat and sat down, and then the Earl of Kent sat opposite him.
Before Earl of Kent could speak again, Barnett said: "Malts, your body and spirit are much better than when I left last time."
Earl of Kent He smiled and said: "Thanks to your careful guidance, teacher, the 'secret technique' you taught me is really useful. I feel like I am getting younger and younger now." There was a trace of gratitude in his voice.
Unexpectedly, Barnett said: "I still want to remind you that nothing is too much, and if you practice the 'secret technique' step by step according to the method I teach you, you will naturally be able to achieve your wishes, and even the worst can strengthen your body. Stay healthy and prolong your life. But if you drink too much and are eager for success, you will bring unimaginable disasters to yourself and even endanger your family. In the end..."
Barnett said word by word: "You are no longer who you are now!"
"I know, I will strictly follow your instructions, teacher."
The Earl of Kent agreed repeatedly. , but in my heart I don’t fully agree with what the teacher said.
Barnett asked again: "When I came over, I saw a lot of people gathered near your castle? What happened?"
The Earl of Kent replied: "Nothing. It’s a big deal, just deal with a little lord who has no eyesight.”
Barnett asked: "So, you are going to attack another territory?"
The Earl of Kent admitted honestly: "Yes, teacher."
However, the other party followed But his words made him very confused: "Malts, stop this military operation immediately. I have a mission when I come to the northwest, so don't cause me any trouble."
The Earl of Kent quickly asked: "Why?"
But he immediately reacted: "Is it? Could it be..."
What the other party said confirmed his guess: "Yes, the 'Secret Society' is going to take action in the northwest."
