Heart of the Castle

Chapter 407 The Precious Value of Baron Hughes

At breakfast, Li Wei sent people to gather all the knights gathered under the Griffin Banner, the bishops, priests and deacons of the Temple of Storms and the Temple of the Earth, as well as the leaders of Gala, Worf and Raslin, etc. The leader of the aboriginal tribe.It is worth mentioning that Babrupa was also present, and he also got a good position, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the short and fat man, and made him smug beyond words.

Because of yesterday's irrefutable and glorious victory, everyone's spirits are now very high, and the faces are chattering and laughing, and there are occasional bursts of laughter.The knights showed off their achievements to each other and joked with each other in good faith; the priests whispered the psalms praising the gods, many of them had sleepless tired faces, but their eyes were as bright as stars; the aborigines Most of the leaders didn't know much about etiquette, and they were the noisiest group of people in the tent. Several werewolf leaders even wore necklaces made of the horns of imps to show off on their chests, and the bloody smell still lingered on them.

But compared with Babrupa, those noises are nothing.This short, fat guy stayed in a relatively safe camp yesterday, in charge of commanding a group of young leaders to repair the gap on the Great Wall, and at the same time coordinating the little elves to use catapults to attack the demons on the other side.These achievements became ten times more important, a hundred times more magnificent, and a thousand times more glorious in his mouth. Some exaggerated and untrue parts were simply ridiculous to the extreme, which aroused bursts of laughter from everyone present.Babrupa's surprisingly tenacious nerves took all these laughter as a compliment to himself, and he spattered even more, almost jumping on the table to point fingers.

Perhaps he would have done so had he not walked in with a party of servants and squires, all carrying steaming breakfasts.

The breakfast has the characteristics of the northern border, the amount is very large, but the style is single and not exquisite.A plate made of oak logs was placed in front of everyone, and it could be seen that the workmanship was quite ordinary, and the bark on the edges was not polished clean.On the plate were a few hard-boiled eggs, two slices of bacon bacon fried golden red, hard cheese with frankincense, and toasted warm brown bread and honey.Next, the four attendants brought in a large pot of milk and oatmeal porridge together, and the sweet and warm atmosphere immediately permeated the tent.

Babrupa put his hands on the bowl of hot porridge in front of him, warming himself in the overflowing heat.This short, fat man who likes to call himself a pious clergyman attaches great importance to his appetite, and his saliva is about to flow out when he smells the aroma.There was a faint white mist around the hard-boiled eggs, and the bacon bacon was sizzling with oil, which made his ears and nose feel very enjoyable. Of course, his mouth wanted to participate more, but it was just because Levi hadn't After he was seated, no one in the tent started to move ahead of time, which made him barely resist the desire to eat immediately.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late." Li Wei's voice sounded from outside the tent, and then the door curtain was raised, and Li Wei in light steel battle armor strode in, followed by several figures.After seeing these people, everyone in the tent immediately stood up, the knight tapped on the breastplate, the priest put his hands on his shoulders, and the aboriginal leaders paid them the highest respect according to the etiquette of their respective tribes.

The people who followed Levi into the tent were the real heroes against the evil disaster, even those ancient heroes who were extolled in the bard's ditty may not be able to compare with them.The Crow Queen Siegfried in a black robe walked in the front. She and the Crow Witch under her command were the heroes who successfully lured the Winged Demon team to attack, and they were also the key link in throwing the giant smoke bomb; Donner and Will Erpus followed closely behind. Both of them were wearing a full set of knight armor, with numerous dents faintly visible on them. They wore weapons at their waists, but did not wear helmets, and their faces were particularly solemn and gloomy; Sir Grace walked behind. In his position, the silver fir longbow that never left his body slanted out of his shoulders, and a quiver full of armor-piercing arrows hung on his waist.

Behind these familiar faces, there are two guys wearing alchemist robes, one tall and one short. Countless strange moon patterns flickered as he walked; the short one was less than the waist of an ordinary person, with two surprisingly large and bright eyes on his small wrinkled face, and the robe was embroidered with A big "4" character.

These two unfamiliar faces made everyone whisper to each other. Babrupa was one of the few who knew their identities. He straightened his chest until it was almost level with his chin, and his voice and expression were full of pride. "The tall one is Master Youyue, a dark alchemist, and the short one is Si'er, the leader of the little spirit tribe, who is also named the Rhythm Knight."

After Li Wei and those who came in with him were seated, the breakfast officially began.Due to being too tired yesterday, many people fell headfirst on the beds after returning to the tents, and didn't even bother to eat, so they were already hungry.In the following period of time, the tent was very quiet, only the sound of chewing was heard, and everyone buried their heads in eating and drinking, and no one cared to continue talking.

Sir Grace, Donner, and Wilps all looked preoccupied, and they pushed away their plates after taking a few mouthfuls.But Li Wei seemed to have a good appetite, and he stopped after eating what was on the plate.Seeing that most people had stopped, the servants re-entered the tent, removed the leftovers, replaced them with ale and kirsch, and poured everyone a full glass.

"Your Excellency the Baron, I think it's time to announce that." Wilps turned his body to Levi and suggested softly.

Li Wei shook his head, and replied with the same soft voice, "Wait a minute, there is another expert who should consult about Firmeyer." Then he straightened up and gave instructions near the tent door. "Master Hughes, please come here."

The handsome Baron Hughes immediately stood up from his seat, went to Li Wei and knelt down on one knee, "Your Excellency Levi." He lowered his head, his blond hair fell down his shoulders like a waterfall, "Hughes is waiting for you dispatch."

Although the noble title of Baron Hughes is equal to that of Li Wei, he was given up by himself together with the territory, and swore to become Li Wei's vassal knight, so Li Wei did not greet him. "Lord Hughes, don't be so polite, sit here." Levi pointed to an empty seat next to Donna and said. After Baron Hughes sat down, the young lord immediately entered the topic. "You have lived in Firmeyer for a long time, so you should be familiar with it?"

Baron Hughes was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted, "Yes, Your Excellency Levi, I have lived in Firmeyer for 22 years, and I am very familiar with some customs and customs there."

"Do you know every flower street and willow alley like the back of your hand?" Babrupa answered in a strange manner, which caused a burst of laughter immediately.

"So, the pious Mr. Babrupa knows Firmeyer very well?" Li Wei said and waved to him, and the short fat man immediately ran over with a smile on his face, deeply in front of Li Wei. bow. "That's right, Master Li Wei, I'm a clergyman who was baptized in the Glorious Cathedral, and no one is more familiar with Firmeyer's situation than me."

"Then the pious Mr. Babrupa is also familiar with the Nine Pillars family of the Kingdom?" Li Wei continued to ask with a smile.

"Nine-Pillar Family...ah." Babrupa showed a bitter expression on his face, and his tone of voice became hesitant, "That...Of course, I, I know a little bit, a little bit."

"I know a thing or two, is it referring to one of the Jiuzhu family?" Li Wei said in a surprised tone, "Then the family that believes in the Lord of Radiance, are you familiar with it?"

"Yes, I'm familiar with it. Of course, I also know the big shot of that family. What kind of family is that? When I think about it, the pronunciation seems to be a bit troublesome..." Babrupa looked like he was thinking hard, with a smile on his forehead. A fine layer of sweat beads appeared.

"Is it the Sebasta family?" Baron Hughes reminded from the side.

"The Sebasta family?" Babrupa's eyes lit up, "Yes, the one I know is the number one member of the Sebasta family, His Excellency the Archbishop of the Guangyao Cathedral, but please forgive the name of his old man. I can't disclose..."

Now everyone knew that Babrupa was talking nonsense, and even Tang Na and the others who had been frowning all the time showed a little smile.Only Li Wei continued to ask with great interest, "So you have friendship with that big man? Then the second person in the Sebasta family, His Excellency Enoch Sebasta, do you also know him?" Woolen cloth?"

"Dang, of course I know, he also bought a branch of the God of Light tree from me, with twelve leaves on it! For the sake of the Lord of Light, I gave him three... ah No, it's [-]% off!" Babrupa became more and more excited as he spoke, and the nervousness at the beginning had disappeared, and he said with gestures.

With a "poof", Baron Hughes, who was raising his glass and sipping red wine, sprayed out all the wine, and then coughed and laughed, even spilling the wine in the glass all over the floor.

"Ahem...haha, Enoch Sebasta...haha, it's His Excellency the Archbishop of the Glorious Cathedral!" He struggled to hold back his smile, and explained to everyone, "And His Excellency Enoch is The Patriarch of the Sebasta family is also the leader of the Temple of Radiance in the Diocese of Fermeyer, if he is number two, there is no number one person in the family of the pious!"

Amid the louder laughter, Babrupa covered his head with his robe, and fled from the tent in a panic.However, including Li Wei, everyone is very clear about this guy's temperament. This blow can stop him for a few hours at most. Before noon, everyone will definitely be able to see Babrupa reappearing in the camp. Continue to find people who are not familiar with him to eat and drink.

But now no one pays attention to this funny short fat man, and everyone focuses on the conversation between Levi and Baron Hughes.

"Your Excellency Levi, I know more about the royal capital of Fermeyer than you imagined, and I even know a lot of family secrets." Baron Hughes stood up and said to Levi, "Do you know why I was kicked out of the City of Glory?"

Li Wei nodded, "I heard that it was because he climbed into the bed of the daughter of a certain important person?"

"It's not someone, it's a dozen of them." Baron Hughes showed a rather smug smile, and even Levi had to admit that his appearance was indeed handsome and extraordinary, and it was easy to win the favor of those ignorant aristocrats. The girl's heart.

"You know, those girls are very honest in bed, so there are very few secrets at Fillmeyer that I, Hughes, don't know at all. I'd love to tell you all about these secrets, but please answer my question first " Baron Hughes regained his solemn expression, took a step back, and bowed his chest. "Your Excellency Li Wei, please tell us, is it possible that after the disaster subsided, those important ministers of the kingdom of Firmeyer started to make trouble again and wanted to do something to you?"
