Urban Sims

Chapter 811 The Big Boy

Atram waited for three days in the duke's mansion because Salosa had not returned from hunting.

In the past three days, Atlam, who had nothing to do, wandered around the Duke's mansion twice.

But found a very strange phenomenon.

Judging from the increasing number of soldiers and horses in the training ground in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion: Recently, the Duke's Mansion has been recruiting troops.

What are you recruiting for?
The curious Atlam overheard the conversation between two senior generals, and a word he often heard was the word "gold".

Gold of the Aurunian Empire.

"Duke Robert also wants to participate in Starwind Kingdom's expedition plan, and wants to go to the Aurunian Empire to make a fortune?"

Atram guessed, but vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.

Because if you want to go to the Aurunian Empire to plunder gold, you can just recruit soldiers with great fanfare. Anyway, many nobles are doing this recently, but Duke Robert is very low-key and quiet, giving people the feeling that they are recruiting soldiers secretly.

Atlam also had two dinner parties with Duke Robert. At the dinner, Atlam wanted to ask Duke Robert, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan... After all, Duke Robert in front of him is a black hand Ruthless Lord.

Fourth day.

"Master is back!"

"Master is back!"

In the voice of the servants.

Salosha, who went hunting in other places, finally came back full of prey, surrounded by a group of entourages.

Seeing his mother at the door - Mrs. Shelley, Salosha jumped off the horse and said excitedly:

"Mom, this time I hunted a lot of prey and came back with a full reward!"

Mrs. Shelley stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Son, you will be away for half a month this time, and the wild animals in the woods are dangerous, so stop hunting every day and spend more time with your wife, Julie." .”

Hearing the nagging words, Salosha's face collapsed, and he complained: "Mom, can you stop nagging? Didn't Julie give birth to a boy for our family? Why do you keep asking me to accompany her?" ?”

"Let you accompany her to have more children! The family business is so big, how can one boy be enough?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore, I'm so annoyed by you!"

Salosa waved her hands away, not wanting to talk to her mother.

"You bastard, you are not interested in taking care of the territory, you are not interested in women, you are only interested in hunting all day long, will you be able to stay with your prey in the future? You are almost 30 years old, and you are still not sensible at all!"

Duke Robert came over and reprimanded his son.

"You old thing, I told you to leave me alone! I've grown up!"

Salosa directly confronted him.

"Where did you grow up? You're not as obedient as you were when you were a teenager. The older you get, the more outrageous you become!"

"That's because I couldn't beat you back then, but now I can! My fist is bigger than yours! Why do you care about me?"

Salosha raised his fist and roared angrily.

"You...you...boy, how dare you talk to your father like that, I...I'll kill you!" Robert was about to explode in anger, and he directly held the sword at his waist, and was about to pull out the sword to teach him a lesson. Get off this boy who disobeyed him!
"Odd, unload all the prey from the carriage, let's continue hunting."

Salosha didn't even shake her father, and turned to the entourage beside her.

"Master, this..." Ao De, the follower, looked embarrassed, and was about to leave as soon as he came back. This...

"You boy, I abolished you!"

Robert was even angrier. Now he really wanted to draw his sword and teach this shameful son a lesson.

However, the sword was drawn halfway.

A hand held him down.

A voice came from next to my ear: "Your Excellency, calm down, it is normal for men to like hunting and adventure, why bother to hurt the harmony between father and son?"

"But this bastard boy goes hunting every day and doesn't do anything serious!"

As if he had found an outlet, Duke Robert couldn't help complaining and confiding in front of Atlam, an outsider.

Atlam smiled awkwardly and said: "When I was 20 years old, my father often said the same thing about me. In a fit of anger, I became an adventurer. I have been wandering outside for 20 years, and I dare not return to it now." I'm afraid my father will kill me." What he said was not a lie, but true, and he had thought about it, and found a suitable time to go back to his hometown.

"This……"

Duke Robert was stunned, realizing that he had found the wrong person to confide in.

"So my suggestion is: between restricting hunting and sons, sons are more important." Atlam said.

Mrs. Shelley next to her panicked, pulled Duke Robert and said, "Honey, if your son likes to hunt, let him go. Don't talk about him anymore!"

Besides, the son is gone!
Duke Robert's anger suddenly subsided by half. He is such a son, what should he do if he scolds and runs away?
So he didn't dare to curse any more, took back his sword, and glared at his son.

Salosa's attention was completely shifted to Atram.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you show up at my house?" Salosha became very interested in this adventurer who claimed to have been wandering outside for 20 years.

Seeing the green robe he was wearing again, with a hand-shaped badge pinned to his chest, Salosha asked in surprise, "You are also a magic net walker, and you are also a member of the guild?"

"Yes, Master Salosa. My name is Atram. I am a magic net walker from the main continent and an adventurer who has been wandering for many years."

"I came to Domiwaga this time to perform a special mission. I also want to make more friends and learn more about the situation here."

Atlam reported his family background.

Main continent?
Adventurer?
special mission?

These few words immediately attracted Salosa greatly.

Salosha became very interested in this stranger who was somewhat similar to him.

He walked over, grabbed Atram's sleeve, and pulled him into the Duke's mansion:
"Friends from afar, I welcome you very much. I am very interested in the main continent and your adventures. Can you tell me about your adventures outside?"

"Very happy, Master Salosa."

Very good start.

Within a very short time of meeting, Atlam established a good impression in the heart of the target person - Salosha, and became a good friend.

In the next three days, the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds, and they were inseparable.

Even to the level of "good friends" who eat together, sleep together, and play together.

Especially after learning that Atlam was 10 years older than himself, Salosa often called him "brother" very affectionately.

And during these three days, Atlam also basically told Salosa about the customs and customs of the main continent, his 20 years of adventures outside, and everything interesting, which made him fascinated , exclaiming from time to time, eyes full of longing.

Atlam is also often asked questions like:
"Brother, I'm almost 30 years old, and it's not interesting to go hunting outside every day. Can I take risks in the outside world like you?"

"Uh……"

Atlam thought for a while and said: "Age is not a problem. As long as your body is vigorous enough, you can go out for adventures at the age of four or fifty, but... your situation is different from mine. You have parents who love you, and you With a wife and a son, you can't just walk away, it hurts them deeply."

"But this kind of life is not what I want! I can't live like this in my whole life!"

"But the outside world is very dangerous, without enough ability, in the face of various dangers, you may never come back."

"I'm not afraid. I'm a level 4 magic net walker. I'm the 'No. [-] in the Kingdom'. No one is my opponent. I have the confidence to face all kinds of challenges!"

"Hehe, number one in the kingdom?"

Atlam smiled mockingly, shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to hit you. There are many kings in the kingdom like you, and most of them have been taught badly."

"Brother, are you underestimating me?"

Salosha's expression became very serious, and he said solemnly: "I want to challenge you, I want to defeat you! Let you see my strength!"

"Okay, I also want you to see what it means to have someone beyond others and a sky beyond the sky."

A sparring match between the two was settled like this.
