These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

The most surprising thing is that the carriage is extremely comfortable to sit on, but you must know that this era is full of pitted stone roads.

After Du Wei inquired about his mother, he realized that this magnificent carriage painted in silver and white had enchanted effects such as shock absorbers and air-conditioning. This comfort came from the power of magic.

"Mother, is this too ostentatious?"

In the carriage, Du Wei was still a little puzzled. He was just going to a banquet, how could he make such a big show?

Mei Ye felt a little surprised, after all, little Du Wei used to lead a lot of people to play in the streets in a big way, but this time it was a bit strange to ask such a question suddenly.

"Du Wei, you must know that we represent the Farwin family, and our words and deeds represent the face of the country. Do you understand how powerful your father is?"

Du Wei shook his head in a daze. He only knew that the order of titles was Gonghou Bozinan, but the difference was not clear.

Mei Ye patiently explained, "Besides the emperor, the three dukes in the Knox Empire are the most powerful, and our family is the best among them."

In this way, Du Wei probably has a concept, that is, the status of just one person.

Mei Ye took out a map and spread it out on the table, then circled a large area with a pen.

"This is the sphere of influence of the Knox Empire."

Du Wei looked at it, and he didn't understand anything except that he could only see that the Knox Empire was not surrounded by the sea.

Still illiterate, he couldn't read what the markings on the map said.

So he had no choice but to point to the small block around the Knox Empire with signs written on it.

"Master, what are these signs?"

Mei Ye glanced at the place he was pointing at, "Those are the small countries around the Knox Empire."

"What about the territory of our Faerwen family?"

Mei Ye went on to carve out a piece of territory covering one-sixth of the territory on the lower left of the territory of the Knox Empire.

"Probably that's it."

Du Wei blinked in a daze, good guy, just their family's territory is bigger than the masks of neighboring small countries.

"How many people are there on our territory?"

Mei Ye shook her head, "Our family's territory is expanding too fast, so now I don't know how many people there are in the territory."

"Expanding too fast? That is, the Knox Empire is still in a state of war?"

Mei Ye smiled lightly, but what she said was not funny at all.

"It should be said that the Knox Empire is in a state of war all year round."

Perennial state of war! ?No wonder they have so many guards accompanying them just for a trip.

They are not only the wives and children of important ministers of the empire, Mei Ye is also the former princess of the empire.

She herself had encountered many assassinations, but Du Wei, who was still young at the time, didn't have much memory of those terrible things.

"Which country are we at war with?"

But this time Mei Ye did not write, because there is no need to write.

"All you can see on the map are hostile countries."

Du Wei was stunned for a long time and said a word.

"Ah this...?"

The map is full of hostile countries?Against the world?

As if sensing Du Wei's obvious surprise, Mei Ye patted his back and comforted him, "Don't worry, our empire has never lost before, and the recent war is coming to an end."

Mei Ye explained that she was not blindly confident, but that the Knox people were really good at fighting.

Especially since his grandfather Lance Falvin served as the marshal, the empire has never lost a war, and he is therefore known as General Yum.

Moreover, the surrounding countries have finally been scared of being beaten recently, and all of them have expressed their willingness to bow their heads and surrender.

This is also the reason why his father was not at home during this time, the emperor summoned all the nobles above the earl to discuss this important matter.

The current tendency of officials is to accept surrender. After all, the empire is expanding too fast, and it is time to sort out and count the occupied territories.

Looking at the forest scenery passing by outside the window, Du Wei felt very emotional in his heart. This life is really too good to live. Even the country has been taken care of by his father. He is responsible for eating and waiting for death.

"How long will it take from our territory to the imperial capital?"

"Use the teleportation circle and you will be there in one go."

Mei Ye jokingly said that even though Du Wei has already been born, she is only 24 years old this year and still has some girlish playfulness.

"What about a carriage?"

Du Wei was a little helpless, he had already noticed that the mother's character was a little off-line.

Mei Ye thought for a while, "I don't know about the carriage, after all, it's too tiring, I've never tried it, but it seems your father said that it would take more than a month to ride a horse."

What is the concept of more than a month?Even if the horse riding speed is 1800 kilometers per day, [-] kilometers per month is already crossing the province in the previous life. This Knox Empire is really powerful.

"Then where is Manel's family who invited us?"

Mei Ye pointed to a much smaller block next to the Farvin territory with a pen, "It's not far, this is it."

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"Soon, probably around noon."

"..."

The convoy set off before dawn in the morning, and the trip would take at least six hours.

And this is the earl's territory closest to their home, Du Wei just imagined that there would be countless banquets to attend in the future, and he felt tired inside.

Fortunately, Mei Ye later explained that not all nobles would spend so much time on one visit.

The main reason is that Farwin's territory is too large, and it usually takes less than two hours for other nobles below the earl to visit the neighboring lords.

The territory of the smallest baron is no more than an agricultural estate.

"I still have to stay in the car for five hours..."

Du Wei looked out of the window in distress.

The scenery outside the window is not only the forest but also the forest, he has long been tired of seeing it.

Originally, he wanted to ask whether he could see wild animals or monsters in the fantasy world, but unfortunately, he seemed to be scared away by the imposing black feather guards.

Mei Ye saw her son's boredom, and gently pulled Du Wei to her side, "Du Wei, let me read you a storybook."

I saw Mei Ye took out a drawing book with cute pictures. Although Du Wei was a little ashamed, he still leaned on it honestly.

Listening to a beauty tell a story is always more interesting than being in a daze by himself, since he has nothing to do anyway.

005 Banquet Encounter

Although it is a fairy tale for children, Du Wei listened to it with gusto because of Mei Ye's witty and interesting narrative style, as well as the adventure content with a fantasy flavor.

"Mother, are there really dragons in this world?"

"Honey, have you forgotten your Aunt Edith?"

"But I've never seen Aunt Edith in her dragon pose."

"That's because she's afraid to frighten you."

"Then besides Aunt Edith of the silver dragon, what other dragons are there?"

"The dragon clan is mainly divided into three camps. In addition to the silver dragons, metal dragons, and crystal dragons of the good camp like your aunt Edith, there are also gem dragons of the neutral camp, and red dragons, black dragons, and undead dragons of the evil camp. wait."

The above mentioned is the most well-known giant dragon in the world, and Mei Ye also said that there seem to be some very special and rare species, such as Time Dragon, Dark Dragon and so on.

Although there are many types of dragons, there are only a handful of them that are actually active in this world.

This is also the reason why the Falvin family is the most popular among the three dukes.

Because the owner Howard is a real dragon knight, and he himself is extremely coquettish, always showing off with Edith, making others envious and jealous, and it is difficult for people not to remember.

Edith, who has a low-key personality, is helpless about this, but people often say that love is blind, and even Yinlong, who is famous for his intelligence, is not immune to this negative effect.

At this time, Du Wei thought of other races in fantasy novels.

"Then there are elves too?"

"some."

"Where are the orcs?"

"There are also."

Faced with Du Wei's barrage of questions, Mei Ye was very patient at first, but he had too many questions, and gradually she couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly called a maid to help answer them.

Unknowingly, the convoy finally arrived at Earl Manel's Mansion, and the maids accompanying Du Wei showed expressions of relief.

As soon as their mother and son got off the car, they received a warm welcome from Man Aier's family. There were countless red carpets and musical performances, as if they were welcoming state guests.

A red-haired lady greeted me very warmly.

"Mrs. Farwin, you are very welcome."

"Long time no see, Mrs. Manel."

Mei Ye also looked very happy.

Mrs. Manel's personality is as enthusiastic as her wine-red wavy hair. She is also very young and beautiful at the same age as Mei Ye. It is not obvious that she is already a mother of four children.

Mrs. Manel's eyes turned to Du Wei.

"It's been a long time. Master Du Wei has grown up so much. After seeing this handsome appearance, he must be a handsome man."

It seemed that Mrs. Manel had visited the Farvins' house when he was younger, but Du Wei didn't have that impression.

"Hello, Mrs. Manel."

Du Wei obediently responded with a well-regulated aristocratic etiquette.

"Welcome, welcome, let me introduce you to the children of the Manel family."

After Mrs. Manel clapped her hands, a group of children who seemed to be around the age of 15 to [-] lined up in a row, saluting and saying hello to their mother and child.

Du Wei originally thought that he only had to deal with Mrs. Manel's children, but he didn't expect that the Manier family would also call all the children from the separated family. From this, it can be seen how much the other party attaches importance to this banquet.

Since the only adults present were Mrs. Farwin and Mrs. Manel, this banquet was more of a social gathering for children. There were countless desserts and drinks on the buffet table, and some bards were invited to perform.

Looking at the performances of those bards, Du Wei felt that they were like clowns in a circus, but their makeup was not as exaggerated as that of clowns.

At first, he was able to handle those young masters with ease. After all, as an adult in his heart, it shouldn't be a big deal for him to deal with children.

However, before half an hour passed, Du Wei felt that he was about to die in battle. Mei Ye had experienced the problem offensive in the carriage, and now it was him who experienced it for himself.

And the difference from Mei Ye is that he has to deal with a dozen children at a time.

These daughters and young masters kept bombarding him mentally, and in the end Du Wei had to use his urine to go to the toilet to catch his breath.

Du Wei muttered while washing his hands, "It's really hard work to take care of children..."

In his previous life, Du Wei was an only child and never married, so he didn't have much experience in dealing with children.

After Du Wei regained his energy, he wanted to walk back to the banquet, but found that he was lost.

"Although the layout is not as good as that of Faerwen Mansion, Manel Mansion is not small either..."

If the Falvin family is a castle, then the Manel family is a typical luxury manor, with everything from the atrium to the garden turf.

Du Wei thought that there might be guards or servants in the courtyard, so he walked towards the courtyard.

As a result, the guards didn't see it, but instead saw a small figure staying alone in the gazebo.

Du Wei remembered that the other party was Mrs. Manier's second daughter, Emily Manier, who was seven years old like him.

This child impressed Du Wei at first, because among the many noble daughters, she was the only one with neat short hair, who looked like a little boy from a distance, and Emily was the only noble daughter who didn't come to pester her.

"Hello, Miss Emily."

Emily, who was kicking pebbles with her head down, was startled by Du Wei's sudden voice, "Hey? Du, Lord Du Wei, why are you here?"

Du Wei was a little embarrassed.

"One got lost without paying attention, but why is Miss Emily here alone? Could it be that she is not feeling well?"

Du Wei felt that as an elder, he had to care about his children.
