Chapter 54 Strange Request
"Shur Brand? Marquis Brand?" Leo frowned slightly. The Brand family is a large family in the middle and upper classes of the royal capital. It can be called a quasi-rich family. No wonder the Deputy Brown in front of him is
Makes a face look bitter.
"Is the news confirmed?" Leo asked without waiting for the other party's answer. Since Brown reported it himself, he probably had to investigate several times. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Don't alarm Bu first."
Marquis Rand, Brown, bring me Brand’s dossier.”
Hearing this, Brown also immediately handed over a thick parchment volume. Leo took it and slowly started to read it, his brows gradually furrowed.
Seeing this scene, several high-level Patrollers also held their breath slightly, and for a moment, the entire office was extremely quiet.
Leo subconsciously sat on the rather luxurious Savonarola chair, leaned back slightly, and tapped his fingers gently on the ancient desk. The tapping sound echoed in the huge office, making everyone patrolling.
The senior executives of Fengzhe were even more awe-inspiring.
"Huh?" Leo's eyes paused for a moment, and fell on a line of small words on the parchment. In Pande 347, he served as the Kingdom's Minister of Ceremony for a one-year term. This is about 8 years ago.
.
"Shur Brand once served as the Kingdom's Minister of Ceremonies?" Leo looked at Brown next to him, looking a little confused. After all, the Kingdom's Minister of Ceremonies had a good status, but he did not have much power.
He was already the patriarch of the Brand family at that time, and he actually once held such a leisurely official position?
"Well, this is the year 347," Brown frowned slightly and looked at Bella next to him. Maybe he would have some understanding of the time when the other party became the Deputy of the Patroller before him?
"My lord, the Marquis of Brand had a conflict with Duke Brennus. Due to the pressure of Duke Brennus, His Majesty the King just sent him to the ceremonial hall as the minister of etiquette." Bella really understood.
, “But after all, he is the patriarch of the Brand family.
The Brand family has always been a royal party, so the Minister of Ceremony in the Royal Capital did not serve for long before he re-entered the Ministry of Legal Affairs and became the current Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"Duke Brennus," Leo was slightly shocked. How could this Shur Brand offend that person? It's a bit interesting. Duke Brennus is also the top boss in the kingdom. He comes from a wealthy family and is extremely powerful.
Powerful, similar to the Duke of Alama.
Because of the unique system of the Lion Realm Kingdom, these grand dukes, even if you look at Pendor, are at the top of the list, and their family strength is far beyond that of ordinary nobles in the country.
"Then when he was the Minister of Ceremonies 8 years ago, was Mirin Hughton also the Minister of Ceremonies?" Leo's next two sentences made several people wonder, how did he get involved with this Minister of Ceremonies?
The conflict between Mirin Huton and Leo had already been spread privately by Brown. The minister of etiquette provoked the patrol officer head-on. This was really a big joke. If it was Nashur Brand, that would be it.
, that Lord Mi Lin Huiton was not from a noble family.
Today's status is all achieved through the personal struggle of Mirin Huton. The Huton family started out as just a palace viscount. It is precisely because of this that the deterrent power of Mirin Huton is so weak. The strength of the family
He is not strong, and his background is not strong. In this Kingdom of the Lion Realm, where the strength of the family is particularly important, it can be said that the foundation is extremely weak.
"Yes, well, I can't say that completely," Bella replied subconsciously, confusing a few people.
"Eight years ago, Lord Mirin Hughton was the ceremonial officer of the ceremonial house, and he was considered to be a subordinate of Marquis Brand. Marquis Brand only stayed in the ceremonial house for eight months before leaving, and Mirin...
Hutton took advantage of the situation and became one of the ministers of etiquette in the kingdom." Bella was obviously very well-informed.
"That means they have a good relationship?" Leo raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then why didn't Blair ask Marquis Brand to save his father?"
"It can't be said that we are friends," Bella said with a frown, "after all, he once sent Marquis Brand into the ceremonial hall, but Duke Brennus may not be able to deal with Marquis Brand, but
It is quite easy to deal with the newly appointed Minister of Ceremony, Mirin Hutton.
Natural Jungle Huton does not dare to get too close to Marquis Brand, but it would be unrealistic to say that there is no friendship at all. Maybe their family members are planning to seek help from Marquis Brand."
"Very good," Leo closed the parchment in front of him, with a bit of joy on his face, and turned to the other ranger beside him and said, "Send someone to invite Blair.
"
"Ah?" The patroller was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Brown on the side quickly said, "Brair Hutton, the eldest son of Lord Hutton of the Jungle, and the heir of the Hutton family."
"Ah, yes!" The senior executive of the Patroller understood immediately and hurriedly responded respectfully.
…
Soon, Blair was surrounded by several Patrollers and arrived at the huge Patrol headquarters. Looking at the two-story building, Blair's face turned pale with fright. The Patroller's great reputation is based on
On top of the bones of countless people in the kingdom.
The Hughton family is not a long-established noble family. They don't have much confidence in front of the patrollers. They just don't know how these wolf-like patrollers would target him? Do they think that their father is not here?
Can the Hughton family be ripped off?
That's not right. My father was only temporarily imprisoned. Furthermore, even if his father was still there, the patrolman wouldn't worry too much. Could it be that the country noble had done something about it? How could he fight with these notorious patrollers?
or involved?
For a moment, Blair also thought of Leo for the first time. After all, at the moment, the person who has the biggest beef with the Hutton family and Blair is Leo.
"Brer," a familiar voice sounded in the dark building, and three figures emerged from the dim surroundings. Among them was a handsome and yet heroic tall young man in a bright red noble robe. Who else could he be if he wasn't Leo?
It’s over!
For a moment, Blair's legs went weak. The appearance of the other party here was undoubtedly directly related to the fact that he was brought here by the patrol. But how could such a country noble have contact with a privileged institution like the kingdom?
?How can this be?
A patrolman and a country baron should be incompatible with each other? For a moment, Blair's mind went blank, but he also understood why his father was directly thrown into prison, and why Walker
The baron would be so afraid.
But?
Even though he had deep doubts, Blair didn't dare to think about it anymore. Something was really going wrong!
"Lords of the Patrollers," Blair said tremblingly, "This Leo is just a country noble. Don't be fooled by him. Our Hulton family..."
"Shut up, Blair, who gave you the courage to arrange a patrol, sir?" Bella shouted angrily, with a sound like thunder, which made Blair's expression change again, and he subconsciously murmured, "I didn't
…
Patroller!"
Blair's almost hoarse shouting undoubtedly highlighted how surprised he was in his heart. At this time, he himself was even more shocked and desperate. Did he hear it correctly? That Leo Archimonde was a dead man.
A country baron with the title of earl was actually appointed as a patrol officer?
This... No wonder the Huton family has suffered such a big change. The Patroller is really a big shot in the kingdom. Even if he is not as good as those big nobles with heavy fists, he is more important to ordinary nobles and officials.
The deterrent effect is too great!
"Blair," Leo said softly, looking at the timid Blair in front of him, which was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited person he once was, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Now you understand."
"Please forgive me!" Blair's legs were so frightened that they became weak, and he begged for mercy anxiously, "I didn't know the bounds of the world before, and I offended you. Please be magnanimous..."
He knew that the mere Huton family would never be able to withstand the pressure of the Patroller. It could even be said that Leo could easily destroy their family. The minister of etiquette with no background was considered a figure in front of ordinary officials, but under the Patroller
There is no deterrence in front of him, unless he is like the Marquis of Brand in the past, he has an extremely powerful family behind him, and he is also a great nobleman.
"Stop it," Leo was not in the mood to listen to Blair's begging for mercy. With this opening, Blair was too frightened to say anything more even though he was extremely uneasy.
"Your father used to be the ceremonial officer, and after Marquis Brand left the ceremonial hall, he took over his duties. Have you two families still contacted each other? In other words, why haven't you considered going to Marquis Brand for help?
?" Leo approached Blair in front of him and said slowly.
"Ah!" Blair became more and more panicked and said hurriedly, "Master Patroller, our Huton family has some contact with Marquis Brand, but it is already extremely weak. Unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise..."
"In other words, you will eventually go to Marquis Brand for help?" Leo's mouth curved slightly.
"Yes...ah, no!" Blair answered honestly subconsciously, but then he realized something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words.
"It doesn't matter," Leo's smile became more and more obvious, "You go to Marquis Brand. If you can persuade him to come to me, I will not pursue your father's matter anymore."
"What!" After hearing this, Blair was completely confused. What kind of operation is this? This patrol envoy supports him to find Marquis Brand to rescue his father? So what is this patrol envoy doing?
Don’t you plan to let your father go?
In other words, it requires Marquis Brand to ask for it? What is the reason for this? For a moment, Blair was also very puzzled.
