Master and his butler Mr.

After leaving the Mage Tower, the two went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although the qualifications have not been officially confirmed, Hernandez, as the only surviving direct descendant of the Mountbatten family, can still enjoy certain noble privileges, including staying overnight in the City Lord's Mansion, both legally and logically.

The City Lord's Mansion is not just the mansion where the City Lord lives. This tall four-story building has hundreds of rooms, most of which are provided for the gentlemen who work in the City Lord's Mansion, and some are reserved for nobles and their family.

After settling down temporarily, Mr. Housekeeper took Hernandez out to taste the sweet vegetable soup and the fat Golchin roast lamb. It was only when the two of them returned satisfied with their stomachs full of food that they knew that the city lord had accepted it. His greeting.

This is quite an unexpected thing. You must know that it is a courtesy for nobles to stay in the city lord's mansion to submit invitations. However, except for a small number of nobles or those who have close personal relationships, the city lords who are usually high above rarely respond to such invitations. .

With doubts and nervousness, Hernandez went to the dinner apprehensively accompanied by Mr. Butler.

The Lord of the City did not live in the Manor of the City Lord, but in a manor not far from the main city. The land here is not large, but there are beautiful decorative paintings on the walls, long-haired tapestries on the ground and all kinds of weird ornaments. The decoration is full of charming exotic customs.

After entering the manor, Hernandez was led into the hall, while Mr. Butler was left outside.

"My dear Hessie, there is no need to say those innocent words." As soon as he entered the door, Hernandez heard a loud argument.

The hall was not as lively as he had imagined. Before he entered, there were only three people in this spacious and gorgeous room, two gentlemen and a lady.One of them was wearing a double-breasted military uniform and boots. Hernandez immediately recognized him as the Santo. Although he had never seen him before, he had seen the portrait many times.The other gentleman looked younger and was more casually dressed.The lady was wearing mage robes and seemed to be a magician of some status.

"Hi, my lord. I am Hernandez Mountbatten from Mountbatten Territory. Thank you very much for your invitation. It is a great honor to come to your beautiful manor." Hernandez stepped forward to greet and hand On the prepared small gift.

"A cute boy," the city lord smiled boldly, "Fermont, come and meet our little friend, haven't you always been curious about Mountbatten?"

Hernandez said hello to the young gentleman, knowing that he was a great businessman, and that the other lady was the chief archmage of the city.

When Mr. Fermont learned that Hiernandez was going to the capital, he kindly invited him to set off with his caravan, and Hiernandez gratefully agreed.

There were only these four people in the dinner party, and the other three obviously had good personal relationships. Most of the time, Hernandez was quiet and transparent, only occasionally answering a few questions when asked about him.So until he left, Hernandez was still full of doubts, not knowing why he was invited here.

"It sounds like it's because of Mr. Fermont? But he didn't say anything to me," Hernandez said to Mr. Steward suspiciously, "I don't even know when their caravan will leave."

"That Ms. Hessie is really a remarkable person!" Hernandez mentioned the archmage enthusiastically, "Most of the novel and used magic items came from her hands. It is said that She also improved basic magic theory, although I couldn't understand a word they said."

"But I don't know why, Mr. Santo keeps saying that she is too naive, and seems to have mentioned death...war? Or miners..." Hernandez scratched his head, "I don't understand what they are talking about. "

Mr. Butler just smiled and listened to his rambling talk.

Not long after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Mr. Fei Meng's assistant sent a beautiful card with the caravan's address and departure time. The small card seemed to be sprinkled with gold powder and spices, which was very luxurious.

Early the next morning, Mr. Fairmont came to visit again.

"Have you heard of the Observer?" After a few pleasantries, Mr. Fermont asked suddenly.

Observer?Hernandez shook his head blankly.

"Did your father never mention it to you when he was alive? Or anything related to the Dragon Kingdom," Mr. Fermont continued to ask, "Mountbatten is the closest territory to the Dragon Empire. It is said that the original pioneer It is because of the protection of the dragon."

When Hernandez heard about this for the first time, he couldn't help being proud of his ancestors, but... he bowed his head sadly in a blink of an eye: "Father seldom told me these things before, my elder brother probably knows better ,pity……"

Realizing that he was a bit presumptuous, Fei Meng immediately stopped the topic: "Sorry, I'm just a little curious. You know, I'm a businessman, and I naturally want to expand my business to every inch of land."

"You want to do business with the dragon?" Hernandez opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"If possible, of course." Mr. Fermont nodded as a matter of course. "The human world will always have commodities that can attract dragons. Of course, not to mention the collections of dragons. As long as they can be exchanged, there will be business."

"It's an interesting point of view." Mr. Butler laughed beside him.

Mr. Fermont sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the dragons are too mysterious, I can't find their traces, and the Mountbatten family is already the most reliable clue I can find out, it's a pity..."

Hernandez was silent for a moment before reluctantly changing the subject: "So the Observer is also a dragon?"

"It should be a family that is closely related to the dragon. I'm not sure. I also got this word from an ancient book." Fermont explained.

Hernandez nodded: "When I return to the territory, if I can find any clues, I will write to you."

"That's really a big thank you."

After confirming the time and place of departure together again, Mr. Fermont left, but Hernandez became very curious about the history of his family: "My ancestors sound like amazing people, listen Did you say that?" he asked the butler.

Mr. Steward nodded: "I have heard a little about the Mountbatten family earlier."

"Can you tell me something?" Hernandez widened his eyes.

It was about the generation of Hernandez's great-great-great-grandfather. At that time, his ancestor was just the second son of an ordinary gentleman's family, without a title, let alone a fief, and he was still worrying about what he would do in the future.Later, because of some adventure story or the influence of a bard, he suddenly decided to be an explorer, packed his luggage and left home.For a long time, no one knew where he went and what he experienced. Many years later, when he came back, he suddenly became a respected nobleman and owned a fief.

"What else? What happened? How did it get involved with the dragon kingdom?" Hernandez asked.

"Maybe it's just because his fief is the closest to the dragon kingdom?" Mr. Steward shrugged, "I don't know, but there is really no evidence that your family has a connection with the dragon."

"Okay." Hernandez shrugged in disappointment.

After waiting for a few more days, Mr. Steward sold all the ore he had brought, and bought more furs to make their carriage more warm and comfortable.Hernandez also took the opportunity to eat the roast lamb several times, and felt that his weight had dropped a lot.

Soon came the agreed departure day.

This caravan is much larger than the previous one, and it is even more busy.The gentleman who came to greet them was the gentleman who came to deliver the card before. He called himself Luo and came from the Far East. His appearance was completely different from that of ordinary imperial people, more delicate and softer.

Hiernandez quickly got close to Luo. This oriental man from a foreign land had traveled many places at a young age. Hiernandez admired him for his extensive knowledge and humorous conversation.

On this day, as soon as the caravan stopped, Hernandez came to Luo's tent excitedly, wanting to go hunting hares with him.

When approaching the tent, Hernandez vaguely heard someone talking, is it Mr. Fermont?Luo was Mr. Fermont's assistant. Hernandez would often meet Mr. Fermont in Luo's tent, and he opened the tent without thinking too much.

"Luo, we..." Hiernandez froze as soon as he spoke. Mr. Fermont and Luo were hugging and kissing each other intimately.

He blushed all of a sudden, and stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to do. On the contrary, the two parties who had been knocked out by him were much calmer. Mr. Fei Meng pecked Luo's lips again, and then looked provocatively. After one glance at Hiernandez, Luo Ze greeted Hiernandez with a smile to prepare the bow and arrow and the noose.

Hernandez couldn't remember anything about the hare at all, and he took a long time before he moaned and said, "You...were you kissing just now?"

Luo nodded calmly.

"But, why?" Hernandez was a little puzzled, but he couldn't accurately express the doubt in his heart.

Luo gave him a strange look: "There is no reason, we are lovers, isn't it normal to kiss?"

"You and Mr. Fermont are lovers?" Hiernandez raised his voice in surprise, and quickly looked around furtively, "But you two are men."

Luo just laughed: "Fermon and I are both unbelievers, and the teachings can't affect us."

"It's not about religion..." Hernandez opened his mouth, but fell silent again.
