Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

After explaining the government affairs, Weilin took Kyle and several other followers, traveled light and left Qixing Territory.

Through the teleportation array of Kadlo Province, Weilin came to the provincial capital of Xihe Province.

It has been more than ten years since the last time he went to Xihe Province, and this ancient city has not changed much.

On the central street, a team of patrol guards passed by every ten minutes.

Nine out of ten nobles passing by Weilin were discussing the grand wedding of the eldest son of Earl Eagle.

There is still a month before his eldest brother's wedding, and there is still a long time. Weilin plans to travel in Xihe Province for half a month.

Although he has been to the provincial capital of Xihe Province more than 20 times, he has never visited this pearl in the central region.

Xihe Province has an area of ​​950,000 square kilometers. It is the largest province in the Kingdom of Ilia. With this as the center, it radiates around, attracting most of the surrounding nobles to come here to buy industries and manors as a place for tourism and leisure.

Since the fall of the Hax family, Xihe Province is still a coexistence of the five giants.

Five years ago, during the war between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, the current Earl of Harx took the opportunity to exchange territories with the Milian family, and moved the whole family away from the West River Province.

Half a year ago, the seven newly promoted earl families passed the "Land Exchange Act" and used the existing territories and money to obtain the territories that were deprived of the original Harx family from the royal family.

For their own interests, the seven newly promoted earls and the Milian family formed an alliance with each other to form the West River Eight Earls Covenant, hoping to compete with the old noble forces of the Yazisis family, the Aix family, the Jocasta family and the Aswell family, and seek the political demands of their respective families in the West River Province.

Wandering around the noble district of the West River Province, Weilin soon learned about these major events from these noble youths.

"Weilin, it's you."

"Aston, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Weilin opened his arms and went forward to hug his old friend.

The blond noble youth did the same and gave his old friend a hug.

"I haven't seen you for 24 years. I heard that you have become the chairman of the Kadero Provincial Parliament. It's amazing!" Aston said with a smile on his face.

"It's not worth mentioning. You also know how weak the Kadero Province is. There is no earl in the entire province."

"This is my wife Tenia, from the Simis family."

"Ms. Tenia, it's nice to meet you." Weilin looked at the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him and responded with a smile.

"Sir Weilin, I often hear dear Aston mention you. I am honored to meet you for the first time." The silver-haired girl bowed slightly to express her respect.

"How about we sit next to it?" Weilin pointed to the luxuriously decorated tea shop next to it and invited.

"That's what I meant."

Then, several people entered a separate room in the tea shop.

Weilin sat on the soft sofa, and Aston and his wife sat opposite Weilin.

As for Kyle and Aston's guards, they sat on the other side and waited quietly.

Not long after, a young maid entered the room with cakes and tea, and gently placed them on the tea table. Just as she was about to pour the tea, Tanya stood up, motioned the maid to go out, took over the job, and poured tea for Weilin and her husband.

"I heard that you were sent to the Kingdom Army by your father. How are you doing now?"

"I'm doing OK. I'm serving in the Thirteenth Legion as a staff officer, in charge of military discipline inspection." Aston's expression was very natural, and it was hard to tell what he really thought.

"It's OK. Given the situation in your family, it's better for you to be independent, so as not to fall into your uncle's conspiracy." Weilin recalled some things from his childhood, and he was a little emotional.

Aston's full name is Aston Aswell. He is the thirteenth grandson of the contemporary Earl of Aswell. His father, Fabian Aswell, is a good friend of his father. He sent Aston to Windsor Castle for foster care for three years. He was one of Weilin's few playmates in his childhood.

"My personality is not suitable for fighting for anything. When my child is born next year, I will ask my grandfather to give up the inheritance rights and become a branch of the Aswell family, so that my uncles and brothers will not worry about my life."

"I have a child." Weilin looked at Tanya's belly with some suspicion. It was slightly bulging, but he didn't notice it just now.

"In six months, my child will be born." Aston was not angry as expected, and his expression was very gentle.

"Aston, you have indeed changed a lot and grown up."

"Weilin, when you were a child, you advised me many times that anger would devour a person's reason. I didn't quite understand it at the time, but I gradually learned a lot when I grew up." Aston's tone was full of memories. He held his wife's hand tightly and felt unprecedented tranquility.

"Do you know what the so-called West River Eight Earls Alliance is like?" Weilin picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked Aston.

"How to say, there is some strength, but not much." Aston shook his head and replied.

Weilin was interested when he heard this: "Tell me more about it."

"The soul rank of the eight earls of Xihe is unclear at the moment, but it is no more than 20. As for the gold rank, there are quite a few, roughly between 250 and 300, which is about the same as the number of gold rank professionals in the Hurricane Legion controlled by the Hurricane Earl of your family."

"You're right, there is some strength, but not much." Weilin shook his head and instantly lost interest in the so-called Xihe Eight Earls Alliance.

Then, the two talked about their childhood.

When Tanya heard about the stupid things her husband did when he was a child and the troubles he caused, she laughed so hard that she covered her mouth with both hands.

As for Weilin, he laughed heartlessly and loudly.

If it were before, Aston would have been furious and had to drag Weilin to the training ground for a duel.

But after experiencing some things, when he heard about these childhood events again, he didn't feel angry, but only missed them.

"Growing up, there's no going back."

"Yes, there's no going back." Weilin sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Although we both have long lifespans, the time we will see each other in the future may not be as much as the time we spent together as children."

"Weilin, this is a necessary stage of growth." Aston looked at Weilin and advised him seriously, "Also, get married as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no one to inherit the foundation you have built."

"Got it."

Afterwards, Weilin and Aston parted in front of the tea shop, ending this three-hour reunion.
