Knight with Wand

In the afternoon, Leon, who was free, went to the former village elder's mansion to visit Mrs. Adelina, who was staying there temporarily.

This large house once belonged to the elders of the Selva village and was also used to convene village meetings. After being temporarily stayed by nobles many times and now being occupied by Lady Adelina, the interior furnishings have long been completely renewed. The servants of Farolis have brought Some noble furniture, potted plants and carpets make the mansion look luxurious.

The original owner of the house, a family member of the village elder, was killed in the war, and his eldest son who was serving abroad later inherited the house.

After many expropriations, the son of the former village elder had already moved to other houses in the village.

Of course, Leon did not occupy someone else's ancestral home. Every time he needed to expropriate it for various reasons, he would pay the appropriate rent to the other party.

Entering the house guarded by guards and knights, he met the lord's wife in the hall. Leon apologized to her first.

"Selva neglected to take precautions and allowed the gangsters to approach the house that night and disturbed you. I am deeply ashamed."

Lady Adelina waved her hand carelessly and said with a generous smile: "Nothing, it was an accident after all. Not even a tall and solid castle can stop the prying eyes of those villains, let alone here, and the knights and guards are all Very conscientious, I was not frightened that night.

On the other hand, the first time I was attacked, I was saved by you, and the second time I was attacked, there were foreign rangers who admired your reputation and helped me drive away the assassins.

This is nothing less than the good luck you have brought to me. "

Listening to Mrs. Fengjun's joke, Leon couldn't help but sigh, these words are really comfortable. No wonder this lady was so popular when she was young.

He then expressed his gratitude to Adelina: "I came to see you this time because I want to thank you for your help. Without Sir Ledo's reinforcements, I may not have been able to win the battle of Longka."

Although Ledo and his Duwana army are nominally loyal to Baron Earliver, they are essentially the dowry brought by Adelina from her natal family. They belong to her private armed forces and are usually almost entirely owned by Adelina. Supported by wealth.

I heard that there are at least two such elite soldier detachments in Sir Ledo's territory, guarding the north of the Thorn Flower Collar.

There are a total of 150 warriors from Duwanna County. Although Baron Thornflower has the right to mobilize them, according to the tacit understanding between noble couples, Earliver will not go beyond his wife to instruct them unless there is a last resort.

Therefore, Leon understands that Lady Adelina dispatched Sir Ledo's army this time to support her in the battle for free, which is completely to express her gratitude to him for saving her life and reputation last time.

You know, to support these fifty elite Duwana Halberdiers and ten fierce war dogs to serve in battle, it will cost at least nearly a hundred gold coins a month, not counting the cost of food and grass.

"You have made such extraordinary military exploits for my husband and are still so humble. Are all Therians accustomed to this? No wonder the great poet wrote a poem praising your chivalrous virtues."

Showing off without hesitation, Adelina covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Ledo praised me highly for your bravery. Even a woman like me is filled with excitement for your heroic feat of riding alone into the battle. In the future, If you participate in the knight competition, you must let us see your heroic appearance with our own eyes, I am afraid that many beautiful girls will give you flowers. "

"If I am lucky enough to participate in the athletic event, I will do my best to gain glory for the Thorn Flower Family." Leon nodded, indeed he was quite interested in the athletic event mentioned by the Baroness.

What interests him is not the flowers of the noble women in the audience, nor the so-called glory.

But like many knights in this world, he is greedy for the prize money from the competition.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that in the eyes of many knights, the noble lady or even the noble lady in the audience is also synonymous with the conference bonus.

During previous chats, Leon had heard from other thorn flower knights that the grand gatherings held by some great nobles and lords not only had generous prizes, but also had a rule that the loser had to lose all his armor, weapons and horses to the opponent. Either comply, or use money to redeem the equipment.

It is different from ordinary athletic competitions, the kind of knightly event that only wealthy knights dare to participate. If you can win all the way to the finish line and win a competition, you will be awarded the title of "Champion Knight". The legendary winner will be famous in the kingdom, and he will receive even more weapons and wealth. Can arm an army of knights.

The difficulty is naturally beyond imagination.

The use of witchcraft and magic items to cheat is prohibited in all competitive tournaments. Violators will not only be deprived of their titles and property, but will also be despised by the entire kingdom and permanently expelled from the country.

Relying solely on his personal martial arts and not cheating, Leon believed that he would definitely not be able to reach the end of the game in the competition among countless knights.

But even without the legendary "Champion Knight"'s incredible bravery.

As long as you win a few more games, even if you lose a set of armor and quit the game halfway, you can still accumulate a lot of wealth and equipment.

Every time he thought of this, Leon felt expectant.

Although there is also the risk of injury or even death in competitive competitions, fair competition is always much less risky than fighting on the battlefield, and the rewards are so rich.

Unfortunately, only the king and a few nobles could afford to hold such a hugely expensive athletic event.

"But compared to glory and applause, your praise at this moment, madam, is my greatest honor." Leon complimented.

"Haha, you have such a sweet mouth, but what I want to give you is not just empty praise." Adelina waved to the waiter on the side: "Go and get the paperwork."

"Yes, madam." The servant responded, immediately turned around and left quickly.

Leon looked at Adelina in confusion.

"I heard that Elliot gave you a five thousand gold crown as a gift? He is still so generous. Although I don't have that kind of wealth, I can't be too stingy." Adelina smiled at him.

Soon, the servant who returned to the hall handed a leather bucket for storing documents to Leon with both hands respectfully.

"This is?"

Leon stood up and took the heavy and exquisite leather bucket, opened the lid, and found a bundle of parchment documents inside.

"It's time to fulfill our previous promise. This is a reward for you and the little girl saving me from misfortune." Adelina explained: "An apple orchard located on the outskirts of Faloris can earn more than 200 yuan a year. A gold crown is not as good as my husband’s huge gift of gold, so don’t despise it.”

Leon was surprised and sincerely thanked the Baroness: "How dare you dislike it? I am grateful for your generous reward!"

An apple plantation that earns two hundred gold coins every year.

Good guy, the three fiefs of Selva, Longka, and Pleton together can only earn more than two hundred gold coins a year.

The estate given by Lady Adelina immediately doubled the sustainable wealth he controlled.

The generosity of the landlady in front of me is not inferior to that of Boss Earliver. This is really not a family.

I have found the right “company” in my life.

"This is also a joint treasure given to you and Olivia. The other half is a dowry for the little girl. Don't keep it all to yourself~" Adelina blinked and reminded him.

Leon stroked his chest and solemnly promised: "I will definitely not touch the half of Olivia's property without permission, so I will thank you for her first, and I will truthfully convey your kindness to her when I get back."

Adelina nodded and couldn't help but joked: "Oh, it's a pity that you already have a beautiful woman like Olivia by your side. Otherwise, I would have wanted you to choose one of my darlings to marry." Go home and make you the son-in-law of the Farolis family."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Leon sweatdropped from behind, and he quickly said politely: "You are kidding me, I come from a humble background, how can I be worthy of being the daughter of the Thorn Flower Family?"

Of course he didn't feel that he was not worthy of the Farolis daughter.

Last time I went to a dinner party in Pharolis Castle, I also met the daughters of Earliver. Baron Thornflower and Lady Adelina were both very good-looking, and the daughters they gave birth to were also beautiful ladies.

If I hadn’t met Olivia or gotten Olivia’s love in this life.

In the face of recruitment, he would be happy to marry the daughter of a feudal lord.

But there are no ifs in life.

He already has a perfect lover who loves him so much, is so beautiful, pure, strong, reliable, gentle and kind. He could not have imagined it in his previous life.

It was because of his brain damage that he abandoned Olivia, whom he regarded as a treasure in his heart, and found someone else.

Seeing his panic, Adelina held her cheek in a funny way and said happily: "Look at how nervous you are, Elephant really considered choosing a child to marry you, but I stopped him a long time ago.

You are a perfect match for that girl. The Thornflower family doesn't want to be the villain who breaks up true love and be punished by the gods. "

"Thank you, madam, for your consideration." Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on her face, Adelina eloquently expressed the true meaning behind the previous rewards and jokes: "However, although your generation has signed a lifelong contract, you must not mind your next generation marrying the Farolis family. Bar?"

Since this talented person cannot be tied to the family chariot through marriage.

Preparing for the next generation of Faloris and Pendragon in advance can also achieve the same effect.

Next generation.? Leon was stunned.

Refers to his future child with Olivia?

Set a date for a baby?

To be honest, Leon really doesn't want to arrange his child's life.

If you step back ten thousand steps, if you give birth to a son in the future, forget it, and you won't feel bad if you go to someone else's cabbage.

But if she is a daughter, she has no son.

If his daughter doesn't like it and the next generation of the Thorn Flower family is ineffective, how can he have the heart to force his child to accept a political marriage.

"Ms. Adelina, is it too early to say this before Olivia and I are even married?"

Leon wanted to delay.

Even if they agree to a marriage, they have to wait until the future to find a son who can win over others.

"Too early? For energetic young people like you, the fruit of love will come unexpectedly if you are not careful. If you don't arrange it earlier, if you wait until your children grow up and have the person they like, what will happen to the Thorn Flower family? Don’t you have to face the regrets you have now?”

Adelina then pretended to be disappointed: "Or are you worried that the grandchildren of the Thorn Flower family are not worthy of your children?"

After receiving favors from the Briar Flower family one after another and being well taken care of, Leon could not accept such heart-breaking words and could only tactfully say: "How dare I have such rude thoughts? I am afraid that I will not have enough children in the future." Excellent, not worthy of the descendants of the Thorn Flower family."

As a vassal, Farolis had never treated him badly, and rejecting the marriage proposal would inevitably leave some cracks in the now close relationship between them.

However, just as Leon was thinking about how to delay it, Adelina seemed to see the other party's concerns.

She suddenly fell into a trance.

Later, I couldn't help but feel the impact of time on myself.

"I understand. It seems that young people like you should be more open-minded towards the future generations." Adelina shook her head helplessly.

Compared with the calculations of the elders, how could this young knight who had just left his youth and was full of vigor and vitality like to exchange his unborn child for benefits?

She had also resisted the marriage arranged by her father, causing chaos in her family. After several twists and turns, she was finally able to marry the one she really loved, Elifer.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, she has now begun to use her child's marriage as a political bargaining chip, and has become the person she hated the most. What an ironic reincarnation.

Putting aside her original plan for the time being, Adelina smiled at the young knight in front of her again: "Sir Leon, I don't really want you to promise anything, but I hope that the descendants of Pendragon and Farolis can be playmates from an early age and try to have more contact with each other.

If they get along well and develop feelings for each other when they grow up, it will be a good story. If there is no fate of love, Elifer and I will not force it."

Hearing such a simple proposal, the lady of the feudal lord said so much, and Leon nodded immediately.

Whether there will be a marriage in the future or not, it is also a normal tradition for the descendants of the feudal lord and the vassal to be friends and playmates since childhood.

The atmosphere returned to a relaxed state. After chatting and laughing with Lady Adelina, Leon quickly said goodbye and left the mansion.

Walking on the street, Leon weighed the document in his hand that kept the ownership certificate of the big apple orchard.

These generous gifts are really not easy to take.

It's also my fault that I am too hypocritical as a modern person on Earth.

Faced with the sincere recruitment of the feudal family, he still had frequent concerns. Maybe, his sons and daughters would not mind marrying or marrying the children of the Farolis family.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the grandchildren of the Thorn Flower family should not grow up crooked.

Baron Elliver and Lady Adelina are good people, and with such family education, the next generation may be equally likable.

But who can say for sure? Things in the future should be considered in the future. Now, he and Olivia have not even crossed the home plate, and it is too early to imagine the next generation.

Thinking of this, Leon sighed.

Back in Selva, without the excuse of "not enough room" to cover up the truth in Longka, Olivia naturally went home to rest last night.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Without a beautiful woman in my arms, sleeping alone with a pillow, it is really empty.
