Chapter 80: The Duke of Norton who gave money and his daughter (Subscription Request)

All eyes were on Albert and Duke Norton.

Everyone knows how Vicente Norton became the current Duke of Norton step by step.

In the past, when Albert was not in the royal city, no one paid attention to Duke Norton, but now it is different.

The Lion of Stuart is back!

Duke Norton took a deep breath, then smiled calmly and said, "I am Vicente Norton, Duke Albert Stuart. This should be the first time we meet."

"This is indeed the first time we meet, but I have heard your name more than once." Albert said lightly.

"It's my honor, Duke Stuart." Duke Norton still had a smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye he showed a slightly apologetic expression, "I know I did some things that affected Stuart's reputation before. It was my fault, and I will not deny it."

"I now solemnly apologize to you and the Stuart family."

The Duke of Norton lowered his head and bowed slightly.

He had to bow his head. The Norton family had suffered a great blow. The mage corps he was proud of had suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle in the slums.

Because he was the one who performed the purification ceremony, the reputation of the Norton family in the royal city became much worse.

And after seeing Albert's strength, Duke Norton had no doubt that Albert alone could destroy him and all the remaining members of the mage army.

If Albert really wanted to settle accounts with him, he would not be able to resist and would have to surrender first.

"You are smarter than I thought." Albert was a little surprised by Duke Norton's decisiveness.

Elvin, who was watching this scene, had reminded Duke Norton when he and he first came to the Kingdom of Brefield that Stuart was not someone to be trifled with.

Once the sleeping lion wakes up, it will bring destruction.

But Duke Norton did not listen, and the current result is his own fault.

Duke Norton laughed at himself and raised his head, "In order to make up for the mistakes of the Norton family over the years, I am willing to offer 500,000 gold coins as compensation."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the banquet hall.

500,000 gold coins? What kind of concept is this? Many nobles present may not be able to come up with such a large sum of money even if they emptied their family coffers.

Duke Norton felt a little pain in his heart, as this was almost half of the wealth that the Norton family had accumulated over the years since they came to the Kingdom of Brefield.

Li Er was also slightly shocked when he heard this. As expected, the Norton family was called a nouveau riche family. They were rich! He remembered that the Norton family's biggest industry was the magic scrolls of mages, which were sold all over the kingdom. This kind of magic scrolls that could be used by other professionals and even ordinary people were very popular among adventurers and mercenaries.

Although most of them are elementary or even apprentice-level spells, the profits are still considerable.

"Of course, I also prepared a gift for your son." Duke Norton looked at Lear, he clapped his hands, and Adele came out from behind with red cheeks.

The girl was wearing a rather gorgeous dress today, and she looked exceptionally beautiful.

"From now on, Adele belongs to your son. No matter what your son wants to do with her, he can do it. This is Adele's indenture." Duke Norton took out a contract from the storage item, handed it to Adele and signaled Adele to give the indenture to Lear.

The nobles around showed strange expressions. Not only did they give money, but they also gave their daughters.

There is a contract of sale, which means that Adele will no longer be the Duke's daughter, but will become Lear's slave.

Divine looked at this scene, and her pretty face turned angry.

How could someone be so shameless as to give away his own daughter? Lear would not accept it, would he?

She looked at Lear.

Adele slowly walked towards Lear, and everyone was watching Lear's choice.

Li Er simply took the indenture from Adele, then put his arm around Adele's waist and smiled at Duke Norton, "Thank you very much for the gift, Your Excellency the Duke."

Lear's choice was beyond everyone's expectations, but the nobles soon thought of something.

Rumor has it that Adele was Lear's lover, and this may not be just a rumor.

Seeing that Lear accepted the indenture, the Duke of Norton breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Albert.

Albert was also somewhat surprised by Lear's choice and sighed.

It seems that Lear inherited not only his mother's beauty, but also some of his good qualities.

"Seems to be quite lively?" A voice sounded from the other side of the hall.

King Rosser and the Queen came over with the people from the Golden Church.

Duke Norton restrained his expression. Giving away money and his daughter was embarrassing after all. He said to Albert, "Duke Stuart, I will send 500,000 gold coins to the Stuart Mansion as soon as possible."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Albert glanced at Duke Norton, said nothing, and just nodded.

"You all should know the reason why I invited you to the banquet today."

Rosser didn't care about what happened before and went straight to the point.

"Thanks to Albert's help, we solved the problem in the slums, but the corrupt believers were not eliminated." His tone became a little serious.

"Your Majesty, we all saw with our own eyes that Duke Stuart killed the corrupt believers. Are there other corrupt believers in the royal city?" an aristocrat asked in surprise.

"What you killed was just a rotten meat doll." Before Rosser could speak, the beautiful woman next to him spoke.

Many nobles cast their eyes over; they had noticed the woman since she came with the king.

I also guessed the identity of the woman, the previous saint, Ophinina's mother, Sylvia Adrian.

"Are you the High Priest of Sylvia?" someone asked.

"It's me." Sylvia nodded. "The corrupt laws are not as simple as you think. Their ability to control corpses is far beyond your imagination."

"You mean, what we killed before was just a controlled corpse?"

"Yes, this is their usual trick, and the purpose of the corrupt believers is to let the true spirit of the corrupt law come to the world. The rotten giant in the slums is not the true spirit of the corrupt law." Sylvia explained.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but Lear touched his nose indifferently. He had known all this for a long time and was not surprised.

He looked at Sylvia who was talking eloquently, and had to say that although she was an old woman, she had a unique charm.

"So, during this period of time, I will lead the personnel of the Golden Church to continue investigating the whereabouts of the corrupt believers. I hope you can pay attention to this as well."

Sylvia looked around and said, "Well, of course, if anyone can provide clues about the corrupt believers, the Golden Church will reward them."

"If anyone can find my daughter, I can reward him with an extraordinary item."
