Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 68 It's Interesting

The glaciers thawed, and all things were born, and new shoots appeared on the yellow shrubs beside the small building. Before you knew it, winter was coming to an end, and spring was coming.

In the small backyard, Zhang Ang held a sword in one hand and practiced the downward chop.

Once, once, again, he repeated the simple movements countless times, his eyes were already blurred with sweat, but he didn't stop, still practicing meticulously, letting the sweat drip down his chin.

In the past one and a half months, he put down his work in the cafeteria and stayed here all the time, practicing these simplest and most basic sword moves.

The masters from the culinary association had come to him several times, hoping that he could concentrate on cooking and communicate more with everyone. Master Bernard even expressed his willingness to accept him as a disciple, and even agreed to teach him the martial arts of those chefs .

But now that Zhang Ang holds the peerless swordsmanship in his hands, he has made up his mind to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, so he rejected the kindness of the masters time and time again with various excuses, and those masters stopped coming.

At this time, Miss Sophie walked into the courtyard.

"I have good news here!" Miss Sophie seemed very happy.

"Ah, what good news?" Zhang Ang stopped swinging his sword, put the sword back into its sheath, and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Father is about to hand over his duties, and he will come to Paris in a few days." Miss Sophie said cheerfully.

"Oh. Then do we need to prepare anything?" Zhang Ang asked.

"That old servant of your family and that one-armed subordinate will also come together at that time." Miss Sophie said the key point.

"Ah, do they know that I'm still alive?" Zhang Ang opened his mouth wide.

"They are very loyal. When my family sent the headless corpse over there, the old servant fainted from crying on the spot, and your one-armed servant wanted to go to the church to avenge you. Fortunately, we were stopped It’s settled. Of course, in order to keep it secret, we can’t tell them the truth, so we have to keep it a secret.” Miss Sophie thought for a while, and continued: “Anyway, when they come, you should explain to them yourself.”

"Well, well, but with so many people coming, the small building won't be able to accommodate them." Zhang Ang's thinking was a little bit off.

"They're here, so of course they won't live here. My family also has a mansion in the west of the city. It's an old mansion. Although it hasn't been lived in for many years, it will naturally be cleaned carefully." Miss Sophie explained road.

"Did your family also live in Paris?" Zhang Ang was curious.

"Do you think my family has always been in Luntu City to be the lord of this small town? My family was originally a prince and guarded the southern border of the empire for generations. Although it gradually declined later, it was still a Marquis title more than 7 years ago and has always lived in Paris. In the city." Miss Sophie suddenly became depressed.

"Then why did he become the earl and city lord of the small town?" Zhang Ang was a little puzzled.

"It starts with the war between us and Spain seven years ago. At that time, the Spanish royal family was extinct and the throne was vacant. Our honorable emperor wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the territory. As a result, the city of Doss After a disastrous defeat, the backyard was set on fire by the German bastards, so we had to withdraw our troops. At that time, my grandfather, along with my father, uncle, and uncles, were ordered to be in the rear. As a result, they were ordered by the Spanish protector of the country, the "Fantasy Knight" Don Ji Hede's pursuit of the tail, several bloody battles, almost all of my parents and elders were killed in battle, only my father survived after being carried out of the dead by your father. Finally escaped back to Paris, not only without any rewards and compensation, but also by The title was cut off and sent to that small town." Miss Sophie looked very indignant.

"Then why did the royal family treat your family like this?" Zhang Ang was still puzzled.

After being silent for a while, Miss Sophie continued: "It's nothing more than a battle for the crown prince. Our family bet on the wrong person. That's why the nobles in Paris now always say that my family has no vision and can't see the situation clearly."

"No, I think there is still some discernment. At least, I didn't misjudge me." Zhang Ang held back for a long time before he uttered a word of comfort.

*******************************
In Luntu City, the sky is getting late, but the originally noisy and busy pier is now quiet and empty.

Only two rows of priests in black stood quietly on the pier.

Suddenly, a pitch-black figure appeared on the far sea level. He came on the waves at a high speed, as if it was only a few blinks, this black man wrapped in a black robe stood in front of everyone.

"I wonder if Master Clark has found any clues?" The middle-aged deacon stepped forward.

"I've wiped out the gangs of pirates and bandits nearby, but there's still no news about the assassin." Judge Clark said with a tired look on his face.

"Is there any news in the city recently?" He asked over his head.

"My lord, after several months of cleaning up, the city is very clean now, and there is no special news." The tall and thin deacon stepped forward and said.

"No special, ordinary news, things, is there?" The black judge was a little impatient.

The tall and thin deacon quickly reported: "There are a few things to talk about. The biggest thing is the change of the city lord. The current lord, Count Marceau, has handed over his duties to Viscount Rogier, and he should leave London City and return to Paris soon. Viscount Rogier is the oldest viscount in the city, and his strength is also the strongest among the viscounts in the city. According to our estimation, he is only one step away from being a master, but he has a good impression of our Holy See, and he should be a good lord of the city in the future. Two weddings were also held, namely Lord Leonard and Lord Troplow, as well as the daughters of Baron Haydn and Viscount Isaac. A new restaurant opened in the city, and behind it was Viscount Harold's family , the original largest Golden Bull Hotel was resold to Viscount Rogier."

"Wait, what hotel did you say was sold?" Black Clark interrupted his report.

"It's the Jinniu Hotel." The tall and thin deacon quickly confirmed.

"Is this Jinniu Hotel the property of Baron Leonardo?" Judge Clark was a little suspicious.

"Yes, Baron Leonardo has an amazing talent in cooking. Most of the steamed buns, steamed buns and other delicacies in the city are invented by him. The Jinniu Hotel is the largest property of their family. Leon After the death of Baron Nadeau, his housekeeper has been taking care of it. But recently, the hotel was sold to Viscount Rogier by this housekeeper. It is said that the price exceeds 100 million gold francs, and now this old thing is considered to have made a fortune." Gao The thin deacon explained in detail.

"Oh, that's it." Clark the Pity rubbed his chin, and a blunt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's really interesting."
