Meeting

In the next few days, the city of Gerdo fell into a tense atmosphere. His wise king issued martial law orders, and teams of patrol guards could be seen everywhere on the streets.

In addition to the Royal Guards, the mages of the Mage Association also participated in the search for assassins, but the effect was almost no! After searching for five consecutive days, no trace of the black-robed mage who casts the "Corpsy Explosion".

There is only one possibility! That is, the main murderer of this assassination is no longer in Geldo!

On the sixth day, Bertram III abolished the martial law order, and on this day, Duke Pelcro, the marshal of the rebels in the Kingdom of Rogani, returned to the capital. What happened was that the meeting of the awards for Earl Carlton was also held on the same day.

At about eight o'clock, Lanlie arrived at the palace.

Very good, I didn't meet the Grand Pastor Yadean this time! Lanle breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the palace gate.

The royal guard at the gate of the palace bent down to the Marquis and said respectfully: "Good morning, Marquis!"

"Good morning, Morgan!" Lan Liejo smiled and frowned slightly: "How come you are here!"

"I've been demoted!" Morgan smiled, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.

Lanley was speechless.

"It's nothing, at least I'm still alive compared to the dead brothers, right?" Morgan looked very sad, paused and smiled hard, "I haven't come yet to thank the Marquis for his life-saving grace!"

"Please give me a drink!" Lanley couldn't think of any words of comfort, it was obvious that the Royal Guard captain was just a poor scapegoat.

"That's my honor!" Morgan was stunned for a moment, then straightened his chest and closed his abdomen and said in a solemn manner.

After patting the other party's shoulder, Lan Lie stepped into the palace gate.

"Marquis!" At this moment, he suddenly heard a greeting behind him, which made Lan Lie unable to help but 'shock'!

"Marquis, what a coincidence!" The great priest Yadian took a few steps excitedly and stood side by side with Lanle.

"Yes, what a coincidence!" Lanlie smiled reluctantly. He made up his mind that he would never repeat the same mistake today.

"Is the Marquis going to the Round Table Hall?" The great priest didn't seem to have a moment of free time.

"Yes! Grand Pastor Yadean, you are going to the library, oh, I remember going there!" Lan Lie kindly reminded the other party.

"No, no, I'm going to the roundtable hall too!" Grand Pastor Yadian replied with a smile.

"Oh!" Lanlie said perfunctorily, and he could go wherever the other party was, as long as it didn't make noise in his ears.

But the great priest obviously would not let him go. A mysterious expression appeared on his face and asked, "Does the Marquis find it strange? Why should I go to the roundtable hall??"

"Uh, it's not surprising!" Lanlie replied quickly. He thought to himself that there is no relationship between you and me, who cares about you!

"It seems that the Marquis knows the inside story!" Yadian was a little disappointed because he lost the opportunity to show a long speech. However, he was not discouraged and said in an extremely serious tone: "However, the Marquis may not know in detail, so I will give you a more detailed explanation!"

"It's better not to do it!" Lanlie was shocked and quickly refused.

"Marquis Marquis, don't be polite!" Yadian said sincerely: "Don't worry about me feeling troublesome. In fact, it is my honor to be able to solve the doubts of the Marquis!"

"This..." Lan Lie searched for excuses.

"Well, yes, this is a long way to say it! But let's talk about it for a long time!" The great priest did not give the Marquis a chance to object, cleared his throat and started a half-hour speech.

To sum up, there are actually only two sentences.

First, Carlton is a believer of God. As the head of the Cathedral of Gerdo, Yadean came to attend Carlton's honorary meeting, which means support and encouragement! This is a convention!

Second, Yadean attended the roundtable only to waving the flag and shouting, and he had no say in specific matters.

In just a few words, the great priest talked endlessly for half an hour, and his skill in filling water was perfect.

"This is the welfare God has given to His believers, and every believer of God will thrive in God's care!" At the door of the round table hall, the old charlatan ended the speech with a hymn.

It's finally over! Lanlie exhaled a breath from his chest, gave Yadean a stiff smile, and then rushed into the roundtable hall first.

There were many people coming to the hall, half of whom were raw faces, and although the other half had seen them at the banquet, they had only seen them. Lanley could not even call the titles of these people.

The only ones who can be called familiar are Prime Minister Bruno and Earl Carlton.

The silver libra on the round table is brand new, and its last one was eliminated because he was tragically attacked by Princess Molson.

There were fifteen seats, and fourteen people had already sat in it. The only one that was free might be left for him.

Seeing several unhappy and even annoyed eyes, Lanlie walked towards the spare seat calmly.

"It's not a good habit to be late!" As soon as he sat down, a gentle voice sounded from his side, and Lanley subconsciously turned his head.

On his right side, a middle-aged man was looking at him with a smile.

Lan Lie was slightly stunned, his eyes swept over the black tulips on the other party’s chest. This sign also had one on the Prime Minister’s clothes. The other party’s identity was about to emerge.

"Thank you for your reminder, Duke Pecron, I will pay attention next time!" Lanlie said politely as he owed.

Duke Pecron smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, everyone is here, I'll announce the beginning of the meeting!" The Prime Minister cleared his throat and said, "You can express your opinions on the issue of Earl Carlton's award. If half of them pass, then Earl Carlton can enjoy hereditary treatment of the title!"

"I agree!"

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, a marquis with a mustache could not wait to express his attitude.

"I object!" The marquis with a stinky face immediately shouted tit-for-tat.

"On behalf of the Marquis of Essurregg, I voted for it!" A thin man stood up and bowed to the men. It was obvious that he was the representative of the Marquis of Essurregg. In fact, because the territory was too far from the capital, some marquis just sent representatives to attend the roundtable. Anyway, they were just showing their attitude and taking procedures.

"Mr. Zakalaya gave me the instructions, firmly oppose!" Oppositions are everywhere.

"It is reasonable for Count Carlton to join the honor! I support it with both hands!" A marquis said slowly and slowly, his huge eagle-girl nose was unique among everyone in the hall, and it was very eye-catching.

"I agree too!"

"I object!"

"I object on behalf of xxx!"

…!

Before Lanlie's comments were made, five votes were in favor and six votes against!

Even if he agreed, it was only six to six, and it had not reached the requirement of more than half of it! Lan Lie subconsciously looked at Carlton standing behind the Marquis of the Eight Characters. The old guy looked calm and obviously knew it.

"I agree!" He just needs to fulfill his promise at that time. As for whether Old Carlton can successfully win the honor, it is no longer something he can interfere with.

"Six votes to six votes!" said the Prime Minister with a smile: "According to the convention, the most critical vote should be voted by His Majesty the King. Uh, I brought His Majesty's opinion!"

Most of the people's eyes instantly focused on the prime minister.

Although he knew it, Old Carlton's heart still couldn't help but hang.

"Based on the contributions of the Count Carlton family to the kingdom, His Majesty the King believes that communion is necessary, correct, and even more so that everyone can hope for! Now, let us congratulate Count Carlton on his success with warm applause!" As he said that, the Prime Minister took the lead in applause.

Papa...! There was a burst of applause in the hall. Although some people were unwilling, the Prime Minister still had to give him face.

"Thank you Your Majesty the King, thank you all the lords, of course, I also want to thank my relatives and friends around me. It is you who gave me courage and confidence. It is you who accompanied me through the ups and downs! Without your support, I would not be what I am today!" Old Carlton burst into tears in his eyes.

"Dear, I knew you were the best!" A woman offered her scarlet mouth. This was the original wife of Old Carlton.

"Congratulations, Carlton, your efforts have not been in vain!" The old charlatan Yadean walked up and gave Old Carlton a hug, then said with a solemn look: "I have said long ago that the light of God is everywhere, and your success is inevitable!"

Only then did Lanlie realize that except for the fifteen people sitting at the round table, the rest of the relationship were old Carlton's relatives and friends.

"Okay, Earl Carlton, while congratulating you on Jinxun, I also want to remind you to write a report on Jinxun as soon as possible and hand it over to the clerk of the clerk, Lord Chali for filing!" The Prime Minister pointed to the man beside him, reminding Carlton who was overly excited.

"I'll go back and start writing now!" Old Carlton had a bright smile on his face, and he was a little dazzling. "I will hold a banquet at home tonight. I look forward to all the adults' eyes to attend!"

"If I have time, I will go!" the prime minister replied with a smile.

Next, it's time to end.

First, Old Carlton returned triumphantly with his relatives and friends, and then the Marquis and representatives of the Marquis retreated in groups of three or three.

Lanlie also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Prime Minister.

"This is Duke Pecron!" Prime Minister introduced to Lanlie.

"Duke!" Lanley was about to stand up, but was pressed down by Pekron.

"Sit down, no need to be polite, be more casual!" Duke Pecron said with a smile.

Lanley's first impression of this duke was quite good. In fact, during these days, he had heard a lot of rumors about the kingdom's first commander. The commander who could command more than 100,000 troops had quelled the rebellion in the north in just three months. In any aspect, he was an amazing person.

Undoubtedly, such a person is worthy of respect!

"I heard about you, it's very good!" Pekron's tone was very gentle.

Lanlie met the other party's bright eyes, and felt a little nervous for no reason. This was a bit abnormal. Under the guidance of old Frank, Lanlie had learned how to control his mood during the years of adventures in the foggy forest. No matter what situation, maintaining a calm mind is the key to defeating the enemy. This is also Lanlie's first time attending a banquet and a first time attending such a noble meeting, but he can still guarantee that he is not frightened and calm.

But in front of this middle-aged man, he was nervous, and that faint smile actually gave him a sense of pressure.

The Duke's appearance is very ordinary, but his bright eyes give people an extraordinary feeling. With these eyes watching you will feel that nothing in your heart is hidden. This is why Lanley feels nervous.

"Lanlie, let you stay because you have something important to discuss with you!" The Prime Minister changed into a solemn expression.

"Please tell me, sir!" Lan Lie looked humble and taught.

“About your territory!”

The Prime Minister's words made Lanlie's heart beat faster. Could it be that he was asking him to choose a territory?

The Prime Minister's next actions confirmed Lan Lie's conjecture, and a map was placed on a black round table.

This map is not unfamiliar with Ranle, because he also has one at home.

"His Majesty the King originally planned to let you choose any of these five places!" The Prime Minister stretched out his finger and gestured in a very general way.

Lanlie's heart sank instantly because he heard it clearly. What the prime minister said was "original plan", which means that the news that Old Carlton revealed to him in advance had changed.

"The kingdom has been in a bad situation recently!" Duke Pecron, who was standing by, touched: "Although the rebellion in the north has achieved a decisive victory, the culprit Prince Albold has not been captured yet. As for the south, although the Kingdom of Morlin retreated, it has been stubborn and still has 50,000 troops on the border. Yes, Princess Andrea came to visit and signed a new border agreement with us, but in my eyes, this new border agreement is no different from a piece of waste paper. The credibility of the Molsons is the least valuable thing in the continent of Aicaska!"

"The Kingdom has always been negative in its military attitude with the Kingdom of Molson!" After a pause, Duke Pecron continued: "Of course this is not our will. The long-term severe situation in the north of the Kingdom has forced us to take a tolerant attitude towards Molson. We have been looking for an opportunity, and now, including His Majesty the King, we unanimously believe that this opportunity has arrived!"

As he said that Duke Pecron pointed to the southernmost point of the map, where a large red circle was very dazzling.

"Here, we will establish a new border territory to protect the security of the southern border of the kingdom!" Duke Pecron poked the red circle with his fingers, and his eyes looking at Lanlie became firm and sharp: "Lanlie, tell me, are you willing to take on the important task of defending the kingdom's territory?"
