In the end, when those heroes who returned from slaughtering demons walked into the hall, the shining eyes in the crowd had completely aligned with the person in his heart.It also made him believe that this political transaction will bring a new future to the western region.
After stroking his daughter's hair, the Duke patted George on the shoulder, and got straight to the point: "George, I heard from Tania that you plan to leave in a few days?"
George hesitated for a moment between the two addresses of 'Father' and 'Adeline' - the first 'Father' expressed his submission, and calling him that way after that was not only out of etiquette, but also seemed too much. Too much haste.
According to normal, no matter what the relationship is, what should be called or what should be called.Even if you call yourself grandpa, you should call him by name directly, or 'Lord Avery', not 'Lord Grandfather'.
"Lord Adeline, I did have this plan at first." Speaking of this, George sighed: "But the trip to Hongzhuang made my soldiers sick. They need to rest for a while."
But no matter what the reason is, according to the current situation, it is really a good decision to stay in Clear Water City for a period of time - there are really too many benefits here for him to explore.After the operation is completed, he is Martin of the Fallen Leaf City. He has plenty of ways to arrange the residents and nobles here properly.
Therefore, if he could not go to the fallen capital, he did not want to go.
As a new son-in-law, after the father-in-law asked about the itinerary, he didn't mention Sophia, nor did he mention the marriage contract that had just been broken.But this rhetoric sounded more pleasing to the Duke.
"Master Wallace mentioned this new plague to me, and we should really pay attention to it." Adeline switched her thinking to the status of the Duke almost instantly: "Was the valley previously There is also a plague spreading? I heard that the bachelor you brought is very accomplished in disease research and magic."
At the beginning, 'Raphael' entered the Red Village Castle with the Black Lake Knights, and later on, he also provided a lot of help to the priests in the treatment of diseases.So the duke knew his name.
"My lord, please forgive me for one thing." Speaking of this, George suddenly became solemn: "Our grand scholar is not actually called Raphael. He was born in the Forbidden Sanctuary, and he has already come to the valley. For a period of time. However, because of the theories about the environment and plagues that he proposed when he was traveling on the mainland and lobbying various countries, many nobles did not take him very well. So he had to impersonate one of his friends—— He is in fact very young, and this face of his, and that of mine, were disguised by one of my throat slitters."
Having said that, George looked at Fernando, and it was time to say something: "Please keep his identity a secret."
That young wizard had never entered Windsong City, but these words made Fernando suddenly pause, thinking of a young wizard—whether it was the trip to Clearwater City many years ago, or Gail's words. He should know the name of the forbidden bachelor who came here.
Now many things he said have been verified.While some of it is overblown, his learning is acknowledged.If it weren't for this man's eccentric temperament (super arrogant straight man), every nobleman who came into contact with him was extremely disgusted, and the nobles would never let this grand scholar out.
As for his profound attainments in diseases and plagues, who the hell knows.Wizards are all knowledgeable, who remembers what they said so many years ago?Anyway, now that George said it was this guy, Wallace and everyone else said he was awesome!
What's more, that's a forbidden wizard!
In the duke's questioning eyes, Fernando gave him a tacit understanding in response.After seeing this look, the Duke knew in his heart that this grand scholar should be taken seriously.And everything about him, the earl will know everything about him.
And before His Majesty came back, the only ones who knew about this matter were the two of them.After all, this identity is just a trivial matter. If it gets out, it will be difficult for these two 'big mouths' to open their hearts to this 'new star' and talk about some things in depth.
As George expected, the Duke's next words expressed his endorsement of 'Raphael': "George, as the Hand of the King, I hope that 'Raphael' will enter the team of court wizards, and we will release him. Open some permissions. And no matter what his name is, no one will question it."
"My lord, my needs may be a little bit more." Speaking of this, George slightly held his chest and apologized for his presumptuousness: "We are already impatient for the antidote to the plague. Regarding the materials, we still need to Please be inclined. Also, if you can give him an independent laboratory, with a group of scholars who can be driven. I believe he will hand in an answer that satisfies you—at least our five thousand Tu The problems left over from the Demon Warrior should be resolved soon."
"It's not a matter, Lord Fernando will make arrangements for it later." The Duke's words are open to discussion. After he and Fernando have discussed, what arrangements the Earl will make for this matter is another matter. Say it.
However, after thinking about it, the Duke finally decided to give this son-in-law a face here, and this matter was settled here. He looked at Fernando and said: "Multiple teams work together to overcome problems, which is also helpful for thinking." An extension of—George, you can go to Fernando directly if you have anything to do in the future."
This can be regarded as directly delegating power to George.
"Thank you for your trust in Grand Maester Raphael, my lord. I believe he will communicate more with the court wizards." George's eyes showed a look of joy.
If it is possible to leave a formula that can resist the plague to Clear Water City on the premise that Rosgerd does not expose himself, then George agrees with both hands.Because this is beneficial to everyone, even if Clear Water City falls, these achievements will be brought to the south, so that the southern country can add more strength to the battle against the Kuroshio.
Roosegaard's new identity will have a reason not to communicate more with monks and wizards.In this moderate exchange, he no longer has to worry about his identity.The people in his team will also be selected by him.
Some obedient scholars, or well-trained dark wizards
They all know how to communicate with those court wizards who know the potion formula and various secrets.
The Duke probably attracted not only George, the big-tailed wolf, but a pack of them.
In this court, Roosegaard wants to get the potion and the formula he has learned, and I believe he will get it soon. In George's words, this is an equal exchange.
While the two of them were chatting about these words, the two knights beside the duke had given them urging looks many times.
0272 The Black Death is coming! (two in one)
Under the urging eyes of the knights, Grand Duke Adeline finally nodded to her daughter, patted George on the shoulder, and said: "As a father, I hope you can spend more energy and time with Sophia. As the Duke, I hope my subordinates can worry more about state affairs. Family affairs and state affairs are always a headache, and it is always difficult to balance. But when one person stands in front, many decisions are no longer in his hands , but the people who are protected by him and support him behind him. Stay for a while, George, I believe you will be a good husband."
After saying these words, His Excellency the Duke left.
George tasted a little bit of these words, and slowly, a coolness appeared behind his back.
To others, these words sound like a kind of encouragement and trust to the son-in-law, but the real meaning is probably only the two of them understand.
The Duke believes in his own vision, and believes that the person he is looking at will be a good leader. He is not worried about the future path of this successor.Because this person, like him, knows that there are many people behind him.
Marrying his daughter to him without hesitation was never because he was a good son-in-law.Because he could see that this was a person who had a hard time keeping family affairs or feelings in his heart.
But he hopes he will be a good husband.
To be able to put his daughter behind him, to shelter like those behind him.
like the duke himself
George suddenly looked at Sophia, and suddenly understood why this girl was so afraid of her father.
He was a duke first and a father second.
Sophia didn't think so much, what she experienced today made her mind numb.So far, he still hasn't recovered completely, and he didn't even notice the footprints that were stepped on his feet when he was just dancing.
After seeing the Duke leave, George couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.When he found that Sophia beside him also seemed to be relieved suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He could tell that this girl had always been a good girl.For this 'blind date' arranged by my father.This typical ancient aristocratic lady does not have self-assessment like modern people, but suffers from it.Even though this fiancé who had kidnapped her once left a very bad impression on her, she has been trying her best to put that smile on her face.
George's gaze made the girl uncomfortable.She let go of her arms, and her face was slightly stiff.I want to brush my sweat-drenched hair.But the picking arm was clamped by the thick arm.
Sophia looked at the man with a terrified expression, not knowing what he wanted to do.But the education she received since she was a child made her do her best to hold her back and hold her chest up, and raised her proud head.
A large impudent hand reached out, but only brushed her hair over her ear, and then stopped.
"Don't be nervous, Sophia." George patted her hand and said, "The biggest protagonists today are the princess and your brother. If you don't feel well, go back to your room and have a rest."
This is the first sentence he said to himself today.
Looking at the future that her father had arranged for her, Sophia couldn't help showing a trace of complexity on her face.
My father told himself that the person in front of him was a man of impeccable character.He is the knight he has always been looking forward to.
For this, Sophia can't believe it completely—at least he hasn't returned the things he borrowed.
And this person seems to have a bad temper
But she knew that her destiny no longer belonged to her at the moment she was born.
Destiny is so interesting. When those demon-slaying heroes walked into the hall, she had imagined that the person who led the crowd to behead the demon came for herself, not for Aunt Tanya
But she never thought that fate would be so twists and turns
Sophia didn't know the arrangement of all these things, whether she should be happy or sad, the only thing she wanted was that her future husband would not beat herself up like a bachelor when he was angry
What George mentioned is very timely.Because the banquet is coming to an end.
