"Two people can lead the entire Jagun reinforcements?" a noble interrupted the conversation and asked.
"It is said that their levels are very high, but I have never seen them... They are our main obstacle this time. They asked King Simon to pay so much money. The reason seems to be that Jagon's army also suffered heavy losses in this battle. Many cleft-hoofed cattle and pterodactyls were killed." Marquis Spinola continued.
At this point, Sean leaned back a little...
Karyana and Aslant are right behind them, and they will naturally come closer.
"What's wrong?"
"What are clefthoofs and pterodactyls?" Sean asked.
The name does sound familiar, but I'm not sure if it's what I imagined.
"A kind of mount, a special beast that only grows in the Adak region. It is said that they are very large. Pterodactyls can fly and even breathe fire. As for the cleft-hoofed bull, the book says that if it grows in the Zambutal region, no city wall can defend against it." Karyana just recited the description in the book to Sean.
It turns out that there are quite a few rare and exotic animals in this world, so there should be quite a few strange races like the Deep Divers, but they are not seen in areas where humans often live.
From noon until the afternoon, Marquis Spinola kept emphasizing the determination of these southern nobles to unite and resist the high-pressure policy.
Anyway, it's just a token of allegiance for those present.
No matter what kind of troubles you encounter after entering the imperial capital, you cannot separate yourself from the whole, otherwise you will probably be hostile to all the cities in the south in the future!
This is the real reason why we are staying here today...
The goal is to make all the southern nobles stand on a united front, especially when facing King Simon. If a noble is accused of not following orders and gathering a crowd to cause trouble, everyone must stand up.
The law does not punish everyone!
If anyone disagrees, all cities in the south will blacklist it in the future.
Compared to paying so much money, being blacklisted by surrounding cities is the most painful thing, which means that you have been isolated in the southern part of the empire.
After understanding the reason for this gathering, Sean could only stand with others amid the angry speeches of the crowd. After all, reducing payments was a good thing for him.
Just when a group of nobles were discussing, the soldier at the door suddenly came to report: Earl Hamil of Koga City is here too!
"Earl Hamil of Koga City? Please invite him in."
Sean looked behind the door.
It has been almost a year since we last saw each other. I haven't heard from each other since I left Koga City last time.
Ryan Hamilton.
This name suddenly popped into my head.
I remember the last time we met wasn't a pleasant one. It was during that meeting that I learned I was about to become the Lord of Oro City. Since then, for nearly a year, we've been so far apart that we've had almost no contact, and it's impossible for us to have any contact. I gradually lost sight of him, and I never expected to meet him again under these circumstances.
moment,
A well-dressed aristocratic man walked in.
Li An was about the same age as him, or maybe a few years older. But they were both young men in high positions... If it weren't for the sudden death of the previous Earl of Hamilton and his own luck in getting the Earl position, generally speaking, those who could hold that position would be at least thirty or forty years old.
So the two young earls stood out among the crowd...
When Ryan came in, he of course noticed Sean sitting next to him, and walked over with a "Hesitation!" and "Keep Smiling!" expression on his head.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. We encountered strong winds on the way, so I was delayed for a day!"
No one present had a title, so Ryan tried to be humble.
"It's alright, Lord Hamil. You're welcome... We're getting to the point. Please take a seat."
The only place left was next to Sean, and he seemed to want to sit next to him...
"Long time no see! Earl Sean Weigel." With a smile on his face.
"It's been a long time, Earl Ryan Hamilton." Sean responded with the same smile.
The affection level that appeared above his head was [Neutral], which was alright. At least it wasn't cold or hostile, and we could still talk.
However, then... the two people who came in with Earl Hamilton caught Sean's attention even more. Warren and Igonia! He didn't expect them to follow him.
The first thing the little girl saw upon entering the room was him sitting next to Rian. A smile instantly spread across her face as she ran towards him with excitement. If there hadn't been so many nobles present, she would have come right up to him.
As for his senior brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was still in a state of "hatred!" and didn't look happy when he saw him.
Sean always thought that this kind of goodwill would gradually fade away after not seeing each other for a while, but when it came to hatred, it took a long time to disappear.
Due to Ryan Hamilton's late arrival, Marquis Spinola reiterated the important parts, and the meeting ended after receiving the other party's affirmative answer.
Before leaving, Ignia ran up to him in small steps and made a gesture to herself that only the two of them understood.
Because there were so many people, she didn't feel comfortable staying any longer... She waved her hand and left temporarily.
"Let's go, let's go eat first." Sean said to the two people behind him.
Aslant and Karyana looked at each other, then followed behind with puzzled expressions...
"Hey~ Tell me. Does the witch just now know the Earl?" Ascalante had never seen Igonia before, and he never thought that his master knew witches from other cities.
"Hehe...your Lord Earl is really amazing. He can keep several lovers in any city. Wow. It's incredible." Karyana said with disdain.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know that witch."
"You, if you follow him, you'll learn this trick sooner or later."
Ascalante looked at the other person with an innocent face.
"How can I possibly possess the same charm as the Earl, eh..."
………………
The entire hotel was booked by Marquis Spinola, and the guests staying here today are the lords of the surrounding cities and their subordinates.
After dinner, Sean read in his room, waiting for the moon to rise at night before opening the window and jumping onto the roof of the hotel...
Spring is already halfway over, and the nights are gradually becoming hotter and muggier.
Sean waited on the roof for a long time, and suddenly a prompt [Someone is approaching...] appeared in his field of vision.
Without looking back, his eyes suddenly went dark.
"Guess who I am?"
