Lord of Lowland

Chapter 16 Visiting the Earl's Mansion

Cecil came to the mansion of Earl Kasikund as promised after lunch. After notifying his name, he came out thinking that the gray-haired old man, Cecil at first thought it was the same old man as Alt's old butler, but it turned out that Seeing that although the other party was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Cecil clearly saw the prompt of level 50 displayed on his head by the system.

The old man walked up to Cecil and said, "Is this Lord Cecil? I am Zobo, the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion. The Earl is already waiting for you. Please come with me. Cecil thought that this is indeed a housekeeper, but There are no weak soldiers under the strong general. This old man is much stronger than the old butler Alter. If he hadn’t just experienced the battle of the temple, I’m afraid he might not even be able to see his level. Sure enough, the strong general has no weak soldiers. In the past few years The earl's reputation and military exploits are constantly expanding, it seems that there is a bit of a way
The entire Earl's Mansion is not located in the center of the Royal Capital, but in a manor on the outskirts of the Royal City. The manor is nearly a mile in size, with gurgling streams, lush green trees, and even interesting rockeries. In the center of the manor It is a 1-story building with magnificent momentum.Cecil had no doubt that the earl could even build a castle if it were not for the size restrictions imposed by the king.

Unlike his own family, which is getting more and more declining, Earl Kasikud has become more and more prosperous in recent years. After continuous accumulation of military industry, the earl's fiefdom in the south of the kingdom is also constantly expanding. After entering the house of the Duke of Fatham, the reputation of the earl rose with the tide.Everyone knows that the territory of the Duke of Fatam is second only to the most famous grand dukes in the kingdom, and even spans the manors of several provinces.The Duke of Fatham has only two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is on the front line of the multinational coalition forces against the Devil's Gate. He has only one daughter under his knees. When he married his daughter, the dowry estate alone was as large as several counties. .That's why Count Kashikud posted his favorite eldest son upside down and let him enter the Duke's mansion.

Walking into the building, Cecil saw the murals in the corridor of the building. On the left side of the corridor are the paintings of the Earl's family, from the first Marquis of Kasikud to the fifth ancestor who was demoted to a baron in his family's decline. Then to the ZTE family of Earl Kasikund himself.All the ancestors of Kasikud in the whole family are here. It is clear at a glance. Cecil does not take it seriously. There is a tradition of hanging family portraits in houses throughout the West, and on the right side of the corridor are paintings by some famous artists. Cecil Seale doesn't know how to appreciate it, but each painting is estimated to be priceless.

Cecil was quickly brought into the hall by the old housekeeper. In the hall, a tall, thin and handsome man was sitting upright and drinking tea. On the seat next to him was a blonde beauty with a beautiful appearance, elegant and refined, with a frown and a smile. All have attractive poses.

The butler brought Cecil to the center of the hall and said respectfully to the man in the center: "Your Majesty, Lord Cecil has arrived."

The count let the butler go down with a wave of his hand.Stand up from the seat and say to Cecil: "Cecil is here, I heard that you have been in the limelight recently, sit down"

When Cecil heard what the count said, he could only sit down, but he complained in his heart that the count was really realistic. He had never been summoned for so many years, and he was summoned as soon as he gave a nickname.

"A few days ago, you were a little outrageous, so I wrote you a letter to reprimand you severely. Later, I heard that you were approved by the Lord of Dawn, and you joined the Temple of Dawn without taking the exam. I can’t believe I’ve completed the big task of the temple, I seem to be impressed with you.” Count Kasikud boasted to Cecil when he came up.

"Nowhere, I also saw the count's letter. I learned from it painfully, and knowing my shame is almost courageous. Only then did I change my past and start a new life. Coupled with the light of the morning sun, I achieved today's small achievements, which are not worth mentioning." Cecil said somewhat flatteringly.

Count Kasikud looked very happy after hearing these words, and then said: "You can pull yourself together because you can realize it yourself. I don't dare to greedy for my own. Let me introduce my daughter to you." Pointing to the beautiful woman next to him, "Ophelina, my daughter, you young people can chat more."

Ofelina came over generously: "Mr. Cecil, hello, my name is Ofelina, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."

It was Cecil's first contact with a girl since time travel, and when he saw a woman like Ou Feilina, he talked to himself, even though it was a very polite official language.But still blushed. "Miss Ofelina, hello, I'm Cecil."

Count Kashikud said: I see it's time for dinner, child, if you don't mind, just have dinner with me. "

Hearing that the Earl wanted to keep him for dinner, Cecil couldn't help but hastily agreed.Everyone came to the dining room and sat down. When Cecil arrived in the dining room, he realized that the other party's dining room was larger than his own house, and the huge fireplace alone was a lot of money.

The long table was covered with various dishes, including roast duck, whole lamb, turkey, roast venison, white bread, cheese, cakes, and cheese. Seeing these delicacies, Cecil thought of his own home every day. The brown bread with broth, I really lamented that the same person is different, even if they are both nobles, compared with the earl's family, they are far apart.

The count hardly spoke when he ate, and was extremely dignified.But his daughter is different. The beautiful young lady seems to be very curious about everything, and keeps asking Cecil about the missions of the Temple of War, and Cecil also tells everything in detail, of course, except The temple stipulates confidential matters, such as the devotion of the God of War and Cecil's part-time lawbreaker.

Ophelina was fascinated by what she heard, and she felt eager to try when she spoke, as if she regretted that she didn't participate in this operation, and when she heard about Darcy's sacrifice, her eyes were red again, as if she was about to shed tears.

Cecil took a closer look at Ofelina. This girl is the same age as him and is 18 years old. She is an excellent template like Darcy. It seems that the setting of this world is like this. The more senior the noble, the more able Having a strong bloodline, but this is also normal, the more advanced the bloodline, the easier it is to stand at the top of the food chain, and then continue to maintain the monopoly of one's own bloodline advantage through marriage. It seems that this world is worse than my own. To be fair, my children from the upper class of the world may still be some useless people, and children from poor families may counterattack with their talents, but the children of the upper class in this world are born with better talents than others , People with superior birth ability will only be superior.

Although this girl with an outstanding template is only at level 2, she is already a hidden professional life priest in the Temple of Life.This kind of life sacrifice does not have more attribute growth than the profession, but it is indeed an important strategic weapon for a country, because her most important professional talent is the healing aura, although the healing amount is about the same as an ordinary healing aura.But the radiation can reach 1000 meters.Compared with other professions that can only radiate a halo of 30 meters, it is really a powerful strategic weapon. On a small battlefield, this halo can even cover the entire battlefield. To a certain extent, .This is definitely a strategic weapon.Therefore, this kind of talent will definitely get the best registration equipment on the battlefield, and there will even be special knights to help him draw hatred to save his life. There are more than 3 war priests in a war, and even a 10000-man army can fight against the same scale. of 30000 troops.

Therefore, as soon as Fiorina was discovered to have taken up the position of Life Sacrifice, she was immediately recruited into the kingdom's regular army and joined the kingdom's most elite regiment of Holy Guards.During the chat, I learned that she had eight pieces of golden magic equipment that could save her life. It really took a whole country to build this person.When talking about this, Cecil felt nothing but envy.My level is 12 levels higher than the little girl, and I don't even have a piece of gold magic equipment, but life sacrifices are undoubtedly worthy of the kingdom's investment, because they can indeed change an army to some extent.

Time passed very quickly, and a pleasant meal ended in the chatting between the two of them.Cecil thinks this beautiful woman is very talkative, and still likes to chat with him.After the meal, the count invited him to talk in the study. Cecil knew that the count was going to explain to him the real purpose of inviting him this time. The count is a person with a strong purpose in doing things, and it is absolutely impossible to just invite him to dinner for nothing. So simple.

The study of Earl Kasikud is also all-encompassing. There are even many magic books. Although they are not high-level magic books, the magic books themselves are considered taboo by the great mages of Cabrada. The mages living outside the Mage Guild are really insignificant. The possession of magic books by nobles is almost a symbol of wealth and strength.For example, with these magic books, the Earl can train many mage apprentices who know simple magic. Although Cabrada expressly prohibits this, when it is implemented on many nobles, this city of mages chooses to open one Close one eye.In fact, they also understand that if this kind of matter is pursued seriously, Cabrada may become an enemy of the whole world.Don't take things too seriously, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

However, there are indeed two books on the table of Earl Kasikund, one is the local chronicle of Capeda province, and the other is the general tax bill written by the financial master.Cecil is rather strange. This is a world that advocates power. It is understandable that the Earl is keen on the local chronicles of the Capeda Province. After all, more than 2/2 of the Capeda Province is the Earl’s territory, and all the Earl’s back covers are concentrated in Here, it is not surprising that the earl cares about this place, but what is this general tax bill for?Cecil was puzzled.
