MTL - Tome of Blood-Chapter 192 -42- “Gosanke”

  Chapter 192-42-"Three Royal Family"

  As the most prosperous city in the Northland and a well-known port of the New Moon Kingdom, Beigang is always so lively and busy.

  However, today's Beigang is even worse than before.

On the port facing the Xingyue Strait, one sailboat after another sailed from north to south, and slowly docked at the deep-water pier in Beigang. Carrick three-masted ship gradually rising.

  Different from those sailing ships engaged in sea commerce on weekdays, each of them is hoisted with various flags, each of which depicts more exquisite and complicated badges, and many of them are directly engraved on the canvas.

   That is the coat of arms of nobles, and each coat of arms represents a noble family.

  The Castel Bridge, the only channel directly from the mainland of the peninsula to Beigang, was also busy. Gorgeous carriages gathered from all directions and headed towards Beigang, even a spectacle of traffic jams appeared.

  Like the sailing ships in the port, the sides of these carriages are all beautifully painted with coats of arms, each representing a noble family.

  The guards of Beigang City wearing uniform chain mail have long been lined up on both sides of the bridge, guarding from this end of the mainland to Beigang City, maintaining order.

Looking at the coats of arms that are rarely seen on weekdays, but each name is well-known in the Northland, the caravans entering and leaving the North Port had to give way to the two sides, so that these people might be sitting in the carriage of the Baron or even the Viscount. Go inside first.

   Passers-by and merchants who came and went cast curious glances at the distinguished noble carriages, and there were many discussions, but there was no shortage of complaints:

   "Damn! What's going on today? It's not Pioneering Day, why are there so many nobles here? We're still in a hurry to go to the pier to load the goods!"

   "Loading? I'm afraid you have to wait until tomorrow. Beigang is very busy today. I heard that the Earl's Mansion will hold a banquet, and the Earl will summon all the nobles in the territory."

   "All the nobles?! No wonder! I said that I just saw the carriage of the Legolis family! And they were escorted by their armored knights!"

   "Hey, the carriage of the Len Castel family is also here, and it entered the city a quarter of an hour ago."

   "Leon Castel? So two of the three viscounts have come? What about the Roman Foer family?"

   "Then I don't know. They have never participated in the activities of the Earl's Mansion. Who knows if they will come, but... I heard that someone saw a black Carrick sailboat in the outer harbor. It looks like it belongs to their family."

   "Damn it! If we had known that the Castel Bridge was so congested, we would have sailed into the port!"

"Then you are afraid that you will be disappointed. The port is even more congested. I heard that many cargo ships have to anchor outside the port because of insufficient berths. Don't forget, the most important thing for Castel nobles is ships. Yes, people have already thought of it."

   "Shit! Can't these nobles arrive a few days earlier!"

  The caravans complained endlessly, but they had no choice but to obediently give way to these Castel rulers.

  As the source of all evil in this great congestion, the center of everything, the Earl's Mansion in Castel is also very lively.

   Horse-drawn carriages and long boats coming from all directions gather here.

  The long boat was moored at the waterway berth of the Earl's Mansion, while the carriage entered the square on the side of the mansion under the guidance of a deacon in black and white.

  The gorgeously dressed nobles landed and got off the car under the service of their servants, glanced at each other's family coat of arms, and greeted each other with smiles.

   Either elegant and reserved, or flattering and flattering, or tit-for-tat, or hiding a knife in a smile.

  Everything depends on the family status and past relationship of the two parties who greet each other.

However, whether it is those high-spirited "big aristocrats" or the cautious upstarts, when they step into the gate of the Earl's Mansion and face the deacon of the Earl's Mansion, they will put on an elegant and decent smiling face. Possibly showing homage to Castel.

   Madoc Oran stood in front of the Earl's Mansion.

  The mayor of Beigang personally took over the duties of the chief of the Earl's Mansion, put on a Castel butler uniform, and directed the deacons and maids of the Earl's Mansion with a smile to guide the nobles attending the banquet.

  Suddenly, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly surrounded by knights, and the leader was Baron Sharon who was escorting Charlotte northward.

Seeing the cross-cut family emblem with black eagle and silver shield painted on the side of the carriage, some small nobles consciously moved out of the way. The mayor of Beigang, Maddock, was also refreshed. He greeted him personally, with a smile on his face Worse.

   At the same time, a young male aristocrat in fine clothes jumped out of the carriage, then turned around and helped an elderly nobleman get off the carriage.

  Seeing the old nobleman, Madoc took a step forward. He first nodded to the familiar Baron Sharon, and then saluted the old nobleman, saying respectfully:

   "Lord Viscount Lien-Castle, welcome to Beigang, you have had a hard journey along the way."

   Then, he looked at the young nobleman beside him, and said with a smile:

   "This is your eldest grandson, Your Excellency Derek, I heard that he is already a star knight at a young age, and I am afraid that he will be a silver moon in the future."

  After listening to Madoc's words, the young male aristocrat was obviously very pleased, and even his waist straightened a bit.

  The old nobleman smiled gently, shook his head and said:

   "Him? He's still far behind. He's already twenty years old, and he's still rough. It would be nice if he could take over the heavy responsibility of our Len Castel."

   "You are humble. I heard that Your Excellency Derek has been a Starry Knight since he was eighteen years old. He is very talented in sword skills. It will definitely be no problem to become Silver Moon like you in the future."

   Maddock laughed.

  The old nobleman smiled, shook his head and said:

   "If you really want to talk about talent, the earl is the most powerful person. I heard from Sharon that the earl was already a star before he was an adult, and it seems that he is a star after awakening. The earl is the real genius!"

   As he spoke, the old nobleman asked curiously again:

   "Your Excellency Maddock, I heard that the truth about the depletion of mithril has been found out in the mine? Did someone secretly manipulate the workshop? What is going on here?"

   "As you know, we, Leon, are in the south. Although we have the right to share dividends in the mine, we have not been very involved in the management of the workshop. There is only one marginal manager."

   After finishing speaking, the old noble looked a little dignified:

   "Such a big matter has been hidden for so long, and it is not simple behind it..."

   Beigang Mayor Maddock sighed:

"Yeah, I see that after the Earl came back from the workshop, he seems to be in a bad mood for the past few days. I'm afraid things are more complicated than imagined, but... the Earl didn't tell me the specifics, so I'm not too sure. clear."

   As he spoke, he laughed again:

   "However, if you have anything you want to know, maybe you can ask the Earl directly. Len-Castel and the Earl's Mansion are one and a family."

  The old nobleman sighed:

   "When it comes to the Earl, I feel deeply ashamed. I knew that the Earl had experienced so many difficulties in Castel Manor. I shouldn't have come back. I should have been by my side all the time."

  After hearing what the old nobleman said, the young nobleman beside him couldn't help saying:

   "Grandfather, there is no way to do this. Who would have thought that Mrs. Irena would degenerate into a blood demon."

"As for the silver mine... In my opinion, it must have something to do with the Legris family. After all, their fief is the closest to the Silver Mining City. I heard that when the Earl rectified the mining workshop a few days ago, Legris The housekeeper is even talking back to the Earl!"

  After hearing what his grandson said, the old noble frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his interruption.

  But the next moment, accompanied by a chuckle, a lazy female voice came from behind them:

   "Oh? Isn't the news about Leon Castell's family quite well-informed! It seems that they don't know anything about the mine!"

  Hearing this voice, the corners of Madoc's eyes twitched. He looked up and saw a gorgeous girl in a wine-red aristocratic dress elegantly stepped off the carriage and walked over under the guard of armored knights.

  Her billowing chest pinned a silver badge depicting a fire dragon.

   Recognizing the girl's identity, Maddock hastily saluted again:

   "Master Viscount Legris, welcome to Beigang."

  The girl nodded slightly to Madoc, then glanced at the young nobleman Derek, and said to Viscount Len-Castel:

"Your Excellency Amory, you should take care of your heir. I, Laura de Legles, have a clear conscience about the Castel Silver Mine, and the honor of our Legles family does not allow it." To be so slandered!"

   "Having such an ill-mannered heir, to be honest, I am really worried about the future of Len Castel."

  After hearing what the girl said, the old nobleman frowned slightly, while Derek on the side snorted coldly and said:

   "The Legolis family is self-respecting, and Castel is well known. Who knows what role they played in the mining workshop?"

   As he spoke, he glanced at the girl contemptuously again:

   "The Legolis family, which once dominated the Star-Moon War, now has only one woman left in power. It seems that the Legolis family is really about to fall."

  After listening to Derek's words, the gorgeous girl's expression changed slightly.

  But soon, she chuckled again, and said to Maddock, the mayor of Beigang:

   "Your Majesty Maddock, did you see that? The Len-Castel family is looking down on our Lord Earl from the bottom of their hearts. They seem to have forgotten that our Lord Earl is also an excellent woman!"

   As she spoke, the girl raised her head again, and said to the surrounding nobles:

   "Have you heard that? The Len-Castel family looks down on female nobles!"

  After hearing what the girl said, the nobles passing by around looked weird and talked a lot.

   Derek's face changed, and he hurriedly said in a panic:

   "No, I'm not...I don't!"

"enough!"

  Old Viscount Lien-Castel gave him a dissatisfied look, and then calmly said to the girl:

   "Your Excellency Laura, you don't need to worry about the affairs of our Len Castel. You should think carefully about how to meet the anger of the Earl."

   As he spoke, he gave the girl a meaningful look:

   "Although Derek was a little reckless, he had a good sentence. In terms of influence, except for the Earl's House, no one in the Castel Mining Workshop can compare to Legris."

  The gorgeous girl's expression changed slightly.

  However, she quickly recovered her smile and said **** for tat:

   "If you say that, I'm also very curious. The Leon-Castel family used to be the leader of the mine investigation team, so why didn't they find out that the depletion of Mithril was fabricated?"

   As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes:

   "Or... Leon Castel, who has always regarded himself as loyal, has actually turned his back on him long ago?"

  After hearing this sentence, the old noble was finally angry:

   "Presumptuous!"

  The powerful coercion belonging to Yinyue spread, making Maddock staggered and almost fell directly.

  However, the girl Laura snorted softly, and a powerful aura also bloomed from her body, confronting the old Viscount **** for tat.

   "Silver Moon?"

  Viscount Lien-Castel glanced at Laura in amazement, and slowly collected his breath, his eyes were a little inexplicable:

"I didn't expect Lord Laura to become Silver Moon quietly. I'm really curious about how this is done. After all... if I remember correctly, it was only three years ago that Lord Laura became Fanxing. .”

   "Hmph, you don't need to worry about this, old man."

  The girl's eyes flickered slightly, and she said coldly.

   The two viscounts, one old and one young, confront each other, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

   Maddock, who was watching from the side, felt dizzy for a while.

  Further away, other nobles had already avoided and entered the Earl's Mansion by detour.

  The Leon-Castell family and the Legris family are two of the three most powerful families in the Castel Territory, and they can't afford to provoke them.

  These two families, one in the south and the other in the north, guard both sides, and have always been at odds with each other, which is already well known in the earldom.

   And just as the two viscounts were confronting each other, there was another commotion at the berth of the waterway in the Earl's Mansion.

  A long boat slowly approached, and several black-clothed swordsmen surrounded an elderly man and boarded the water bank.

  The old man was also dressed in a black robe and leaning on a cane. He looked drowsy, but his gray hair was carefully groomed.

  Seeing the old man, the other nobles subconsciously moved out of the way, and some of the farther ones fell into discussion:

   "It's the Roman Foer family! They're here too!"

   "Didn't Viscount Romain Fall always have a delicate relationship with the Earl's Palace because of the Star-Moon War?"

   "Who knows, after all, it's a thing of the past. Maybe it's because the earl has changed, and they want to ease the relationship with the Castel family."

   "Really? But I heard that the Duke Roman of the Fallen Star Kingdom has been wooing them. After all...they are a branch of the Roman Family. If they really count, they are relatives of the Fallen Star Royal Family."

   "Shh, don't mention this, be careful that the Roman-Fauer family's privateer burned your family's caravan..."

  The nobles discussed in low voices, and the drowsy old man also came to the earl's mansion.

  Looking at the pale-faced old man, Madoc suddenly felt pressured. He bowed his head and said respectfully:

   "Ro... Lord Viscount Romain Fore, welcome to Beigang."

  Viscount Romain Fall nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

  He didn't even look at the Len-Castel family and the Legris family, but walked into the Earl's Palace.

  Viscount Lien-Castel and Countess Legris exchanged glances, snorted lightly, stopped confronting each other, but also took steps and entered the Earl's Mansion.

   Seeing this, the other nobles also breathed a sigh of relief, and filed in one after another.

  During the absence of the Earl of Castel, the three viscounts were the most influential force in Castel, and any one of them was an existence that the nobles present needed to look up to.

   So far, the three viscounts of the Earl of Castel have all arrived.
