At this time, Fort Bylan has become a large barracks, and people from the Kent family's vassals have gathered here one after another.
The nobles and knights who arrived first hunted or held tournaments every day, and the quiet Byram Castle in the past became extremely noisy.
On this day, the Earl of Kent held a banquet for the family vassals who had arrived in the castle hall. While drinking the wine of the lord's house, everyone scolded the lord of Arda, expressing that they would clean up this rebellious and rude man for the lord. boy.
The reason the earl told the vassals for starting the war was naturally not that the other party rejected some of his "requests", but under another banner:
The lord of Arda, Paul Greiman, put the lord of Bairding, Mellon Garnard, under house arrest, and sent troops to occupy the whole territory of Bairding by force. Of course, the Kent family cannot sit idly by such bullying behavior by the Gleiman family.
Angelo was also invited to the banquet.
Since the last time we met and made an offer, the count never summoned him again, and all his requests for visits fell to the ground. Angelo's heart became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more desperate every day.
Just when Angelo thought that the Earl of Kent was going to let him down by ignoring him and then leave on his own, and he was really disheartened and began to pack up his things and think about switching to another place, the Earl sent someone Inform him to meet in the castle.
During this meeting, Angelo was told a piece of news that made him ecstatic. The Kent family decided to send troops to attack Arda and teach Paul Grayman a lesson in bullying.
Angelo suddenly had the feeling that the dark clouds had cleared, the count's face was not as smelly as before, and the castle was not as gloomy as before.
The next series of actions of the Kent family convinced him that the earl would use force, and the knights and militiamen began to gather in Fort Byram. If the earl was still perfunctory, it would be absolutely impossible to make such a big battle.
Now he felt that Maltz Kent was closer than his own father.
Before the start of this banquet, he was told to make full preparations. An Qiluo understood and typed the draft in his stomach for several days.
After the banquet began, in his impassioned speech, Paul Greiman had become a heinous bastard, and some guys whose heads had been burned by chivalry (there are still such people) were filled with righteous indignation and called for a fight.
Earl Maltz Kent squinted his eyes and sat on the first seat, sipping his "drink" while watching Angelo's performance.
The effect is good, hehe! Graiman, let me see what you do this time.
Just when he was thinking about how to distribute the loot, the butler quietly walked over and whispered in his ear, "My lord, Dr. Barnett is here."
The Earl of Kent was startled, and the glass in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly asked, "Did you invite him in?"
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember your order, and I have asked him to wait for you in the small living room at the back."
The Earl of Kent nodded, he turned and waved to his son.
Jia Aisi quickly came to his father, only to hear his father say: "You host the banquet for me, I have something important to leave for a while."
After finishing speaking, he got up and left in a hurry without waiting for Jayce to respond.
Jia Aisi looked at the back of his father leaving with a puzzled face. In the past, when his father said "important things", he would always discuss it with himself. What happened today?
…
The Earl of Kent almost trotted to the door of the small reception room. Instead of pushing the door and entering, he stood outside the door and sorted his clothes.
Then he ordered the steward: "You go to ten guards and lead them to guard here, no one is allowed to approach."
"Yes, sir." The butler immediately went to find the guards.
After feeling that everything was in place, the count stretched out his hand and gently opened the door.
A man in a black cloak is standing in front of a mural inside, seemingly admiring it. His back was facing the door of the living room, even when the door was opened, the man did not turn around.
The Earl of Kent closed the door of the living room, bowed to the man, and said softly, "Mr. Barnett, long time no see."
The Earl's posture and voice at this time were indescribably humble and respectful. If other people who knew the Earl, such as Angelo and Emerson, and even the Earl's own son Jayce, heard that he could use this gesture and this Speaking in such a tone, you will definitely get your eyeballs out of shock.
The cloaked man turned around slowly, took off the hood that covered his head, and revealed his face.
This is a muscular man in his forties. There is no hair on the top of his bald head. Instead, there are strange tattoo patterns. The lines of these tattoos extend down and form patterns again after passing through the face. , and then continued to extend down into the collar.
The pattern formed by the tattoo is a bit like some kind of text, or some kind of symbol, revealing a strange feeling everywhere.
The man's eyes revealed a kind of indifference, a kind of indifference that treats others as nothing. In short, he feels that he has nothing to do with the profession of "medical doctor".
"Maltz, long time no see."
The cloaked man responded with a thick voice.
Only then did the Earl of Kent straighten up, walked up to the man he called "teacher" named Barnett, and said, "Teacher, please sit down and talk."
The man named Barnett nodded, walked to the seat and sat downThe Earl of Kent then sat opposite him.
Before the Earl of Kent could speak again, Barnett said, "Maltz, your physique is much stronger than when I left last time."
The Earl of Kent said with a smile: "Thanks to your careful guidance, teacher, the 'secret technique' you taught me is really effective, and now I feel that I am living younger and younger." There was a hint of gratitude in his voice.
Unexpectedly, Barnett said: "I still want to remind you that everything is too late. If you practice the 'Secret Technique' step by step according to the method I taught you, you will naturally be able to strengthen your body and prolong your life. But if you drink too much, It will bring unimaginable disaster to yourself, and even endanger your family, and in the end..."
Barnett said slowly, "You are not who you are now!"
"I know, I will follow your teacher's instructions carefully."
The Earl of Kent agreed again and again, but he didn't quite agree with the teacher's words in his heart.
Barnett asked again: "When I came over, I saw a lot of people gathered near your castle? Did something happen?"
The Earl of Kent replied: "It's nothing serious, just take care of a little lord who doesn't have eyes."
Barnett asked: "So, you are going to attack another territory?"
The Earl of Kent honestly admitted: "Yes, sir."
However, the other party's next words made him very puzzled: "Maltz, stop this military operation immediately. I have a mission to go to the northwest, so don't give me extra trouble."
The Earl of Kent quickly asked, "Why?"
But he immediately reacted: "Could it be? Could it be..."
What the other party said proved his guess: "Yes, the 'Secret Law Society' is going to start in the northwest."
