The King Chapter 103

   "My lord, I got it clear. The mountain baron's team passed by here just now, and it is said that they are going to transport weapons to Arbor County. It seems to be used to fight against the Skull and Bones.

  The convoy was too heavily guarded, and no strangers were allowed to approach it. Even during meal times, there were guards in rotation. It was not possible to investigate exactly what weapons were transported. "

  The young man said to himself, not noticing that the old man frowned slightly when he heard the word "Skull and Bones".

   "I see, Shire. Since it is the business of the nobles, then this matter is over, and there is no need to continue to pay attention."

  The old man said expressionlessly.

  It seems that the person who was going to investigate before was not him. Charles has long been familiar with this scene.

  My master is a bit eccentric, but he is a very nice person. Not only did they take in these orphans, but also taught them all skills.

  After so many years of travelling, most of the money earned has been spent on them. How can we not let them be grateful?

  After dismissing Charles, the old man's expression suddenly became solemn, as if he was engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

   "Grandpa, I'm back."

   A crisp voice sounded, interrupting the old man's thoughts. But in front of the young girl in front of him, the old man never loses his temper.

   "Understood, my elf. If you continue to shake like this, your grandpa will be tossed to pieces."

  The old man said kindly.

   If there is anyone in this world who can move him, it must be the girl in front of him.

   "Grandpa, you are lying again! I am so weak, how could I shake you to pieces?"

  The little girl said with an unhappy face. She looks like an angry elf, but with two big rolling eyes, revealing her true inner thoughts.

   "Guna, you are being naughty again!"

   While speaking, the old man stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's tender little face, his face was full of love and helplessness.

   "Grandpa, are we moving again?"

  Guna asked rather reluctantly.

   Somehow, her grandpa always likes to move. In name, the business was not easy to do, so she started again in another place, but the girl knew that her grandpa was just moving.

   On other issues, her grandfather is willing to follow her, but he is very firm on the issue of moving.

  It seems that she is only eleven or twelve years old, but the girl is also well-informed, and she has set foot in seven countries with the old man.

  During her growing years, nearly a third of her time was spent traveling.

   "Business is not easy!

   Originally thought that the southeastern province was rich, and we could make a lot of money.

   I didn't expect to find out after I came here that the property of nobles and lords is everywhere, and we traveling merchants can only make a living in the cracks. "

  The lame excuse came from the old man again, and the girl rolled her eyes directly.

  Where in the entire continent of Asalanta is not the territory of the nobles?

  Even the Holy See, which claims to be the Holy See, and the Free Federation, which claims to be a commercial paradise, are also ruled by nobles, but with a different name.

  Essentially a group of nobles without noble status, exercising the rights of nobles.

  Even if it is a foreign country, it also has the existence of nobles.

   This is not a coincidence, but caused by the nature of the world where the weak prey on the strong.

  Knowing that the old man cannot be persuaded at all, Guna smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, do you know what I saw today?

  Earth Bear, a silly and cute Earth Bear, it even winked at me with an extremely cute expression.

  It's a pity that the bear has an unscrupulous owner. Actually want Little Bear to grow bigger and drag him on the road.

  I went up to argue with him, but he even threatened that if I was too nosy, I would be arrested and be his maid.

  Fortunately, Xiongxiong was smart, he became the size of a palm, jumped onto that guy's shoulder and couldn't get off..."

  The young girl talked happily, but the old man's face gradually became gloomy.

   "Guna, listen carefully. Don't get close to strangers, especially those unscrupulous nobles!"

   "Why, I think that guy is very interesting! He is so stupid to negotiate the price with Bear..."

   Before the girl finished speaking, the old man snapped: "Listen to grandpa's advice to stay away from those guys, sometimes it feels like a lie.

  Your telepathy, although able to detect the malice of most people, is not a panacea.

   If you meet someone with a special bloodline, or someone who has reached a certain level of cultivation, your telepathy will fail!

  If you like the Earth Bear, grandpa will help you catch it..."

   "Don't go, it's dangerous! I don't want the Earth Bear."

  Guna said hurriedly.

"Ha ha…"

   "Our little Gu Na has grown up, and knows to be worried about grandpa's safety. In the past, you asked grandpa for everything you fancy."

  The old man said lovingly, as if he was happy for the growth of his granddaughter.

"Do not!"

   "Grandpa, this time is different. I really sensed the danger, scarier than anyone I've seen before!"

  Guna said seriously.

   Just coupled with her cute expression, it is really not convincing. However, the old man, who was familiar with the talent of his granddaughter, did not take it lightly, and asked uncertainly:

   "Could it be that the Earth Bear has grown up?"

  After so many years of travelling, they have come into contact with many people and things, including some of the top powerhouses in the mainland.

  It can be described as scarier than anything by a girl, and the old man can only think of an adult Earth Bear. As for the accompanying escort, they were directly ignored.

   They are all out to hang out, who doesn't have a bunch of younger brothers? Although he is just a traveling businessman on the surface, secretly he is a well-known "big boss" in the mainland.

  It's a pity that he is a sad boss, and he can't be as majestic as other big shots. Instead, he has to "hide and hide" all day long, for fear of revealing his true identity.

   Not staying in one place for a long time, in addition to being convenient for directing subordinates to do things, but also worrying about getting familiar with the local area and being noticed that something is wrong.

   It doesn't matter if the old man is alone. Even if someone finds out his identity, he can still get away, but with an extra little granddaughter, it will be difficult to escape smoothly.

   "No! Little Xiongxiong's strength is a bit strange, it is almost catching up with your grandfather, but it is indeed just born, and it seems that it has not been weaned yet.

  When I saw it, the bear was holding a feeding bottle that was bigger than its body, it looked so cute..."

  Looking at the granddaughter who was gradually drifting away, the old man reminded helplessly: "Guna, the question of whether the earth bear is cute or not, we will discuss it later. Now let me tell you something that makes you feel dangerous?"

   "He's not a thing!"

   "No, it's a thing!"

   "It doesn't seem right either!"

   "Oops, grandpa hates it!"

   "It's all your fault for interrupting me, everyone is stunned by you!"

  The little girl's nonsensical explanation made the old man dizzy and confused.

   "Yes, that guy is a person. It's the bad guy called the Mountain Baron, and some people call him the Knight of the Bow, anyway, that annoying guy.

  There is a mysterious power in him, which makes people feel very powerful, and I can't explain it clearly! Anyway, grandpa, you should stay away from him. "

  Hearing this explanation, the old man's heart sank. The original little thoughts were wiped out in a smooth manner.

   There are many ways to do things to cover their departure, there is no need to choose the most dangerous one. While there may be good things in the team, it's still the little ones that matter more.

  The Skull and Bones Club didn't have much wealth in the first place, and the old man didn't want to lose all the capital he had painstakingly accumulated.

  The great Lord of Dawn, still waiting for him to spread glory. Precious manpower should not be wasted on insignificant people and things.

   Unaware of an accidental contact, Hudson, who had escaped for himself, was still talking nonsense with the knights.

  As for the weird little girl he met before, it was just a small episode in his life, and he was not interested in studying it.

   There are not many similar unruly girls on the continent of Aslante, but in the previous life, there were a lot of them. Getting into trouble means getting into trouble.

  The things were delivered to Qiaomu County smoothly. Everyone was both happy and disappointed.

   No twists and turns, personal safety is guaranteed, but it also means that the opportunity to make a fortune is missed.

   Didn't have time to pay attention to the complicated hearts of the hired knights, arrived in Hudson, Arbor County, and immediately got busy.

   Transactions between nobles are different from street vendors, and equal status is the basis of cooperation. This kind of thing can only be done by Hudson himself, and no one else can do it for him.

  Fixed one customer after another and finalized one business after another, Hudson is happy and painful.

   No matter how busy you are, you still have to attend the banquet. As the host, Viscount Oran held a grand welcome banquet in the city, and it would be impossible not to show face.

   It was just that Hudson soon felt that something was wrong. It seemed that today's banquet was a little weird. He had just stepped into the banquet hall, and under the envious eyes of everyone, he was entangled by a group of noble ladies.

   There is only one word difference between "Peach Blossom Luck" and "Peach Blossom Tribulation". Overheated love luck is love disaster.

  Hudson experienced it personally. If he only won the favor of one or two noble ladies, he might still be able to spend a wonderful night. Now he can only experience the power of the Shura field.

   There is no other way, in front of all the noble ladies, Hudson can only pretend to be a gentleman. I dare not show any evil thoughts.

   After drinking a few glasses of wine and clearing his mind, Hudson quickly understood what was going on. The more troubled times are, the more favored the strong will be.

  The aristocrats of Arbor County had just experienced a thrilling experience, so they were naturally affected. In the aristocratic world, both men and women have their own ways of survival, and competition is everywhere.

  High-quality objects are rare species in any world. The most ideal marriage partner for noble ladies is always the heir to the title of each family, or the existence that has already inherited the title.

   Marrying these lords with titles and fiefdoms means that they will be guaranteed for the rest of their lives. Only when he loses in the competition with the same **** will he settle for the second son of a noble family.

  As the famous "Knight of the Bow", the young Baron Hudson, who is still unmarried, has naturally become an existence that attracts bees and butterflies.

  All noble ladies in Arbor County who have some ideas, come here at this moment. I want to conquer Hudson with my own charm and become the last big winner in this competition.

  Excessive Yan Fu, that is Yan "kalpa". Hudson felt this deeply, even if he thought some of them were good-looking, he had no chance to learn more about them.

   As for the imaginary aristocratic romance, it is best to find a widowed lady to play with, otherwise it is easy to be hacked to death.

  Especially for these unmarried noble ladies, once they cross the threshold, there is a high probability that they will be entangled.

  If you don't have enough status to support yourself to raise a mistress, then it's better to be quiet. Otherwise, tossing and ruining one's reputation will affect any future marriages.

  Hudson still has high requirements for his significant other. They must be seductive enough, have enough brains, and have good conduct.

  As for being in the same family, that is not a requirement at all. These aristocratic ladies in front of them can basically meet the requirements, and those who are not of sufficient status will not be able to integrate into this circle at all.

   "Viscount Oran is here!"

   I don't know who said it, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the field. The clever Hudson hurriedly took advantage of this rare opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of the group of noble ladies in front of him.

   "Welcome everyone to come and participate in today's banquet. Let us raise our glasses and respect our most distinguished guest, Baron Hudson!"

  The voice of Viscount Oran came, and Hudson, who had just mixed into the crowd, had to go to the front stage again.

   "Thank you, Viscount Oran, for your warm hospitality, and thank you all for coming to join us today..."

   A series of polite words spit out from Hudson's mouth for free. I don't care whether it is suitable for this place, it just sounds good anyway.

  In the world of nobles, the place where you least need to be responsible for saying something wrong is at a banquet. As long as it is not deliberately provoking, causing trouble, and some language flaws, no one will go into it at all.

   After all, after drinking several times, there are many cases of gaffes. Some guys who don't have alcohol tend to make some shocking news when they get drunk.

  Most of the time, as long as you don't involve yourself, everyone will just take it as a joke. Meddling in other people's business is not the style that a qualified nobleman should have.

   "Welcome Baron Hudson again, this is my daughter Melissa, a junior magician of the water department, who has just returned from the Royal Academy of Magic."

   Viscount Oran introduced solemnly.

   Looking at the shy girl in front of him, it was difficult for Hudson to associate her with the magician. On this occasion, such a formal introduction still made him think a little more.

   Could it be that the old man in front of him wants to recruit himself as his son-in-law?

   This kind of thing is not impossible. Although there is a huge gap between a viscount and a baron, Hudson is no ordinary baron!

  The battle for the governor of Wright County has just begun. As a powerful faction among the local nobles in the southeastern province, Hudson is the seed player.

  Although this nominal viscount is not as good as a real fiefdom viscount, it is enough as a marriage partner.

   After all, there is only one heir to a real noble, but there can be many children of a noble.

   There are not many nobles at the level of a real viscount in the entire Alpha Kingdom. Rather than adding his daughter to the second son of a certain viscount's family, it is better to choose a powerful faction like Hudson.

  Relying on the inherent advantages of native origin and the support of the Koslow family, if there is another strong in-law, Hudson still has a very high chance of winning in the next Wright County sheriff game.

   "Nice to meet you, Miss Melissa."

   Hudson greeted politely.

   Regardless of what Viscount Oran thinks, knowing a beautiful noble lady will never hurt you.

   "Nice to meet you, Baron Hudson. I heard that you are still a magician. What kind of magic is it?"

  It can be seen from Melissa's eyes that she seems to be more interested in "Magician Hudson" than Hudson himself.

   "Oh, I can't talk about a magician. I only know a little bit about magic. Maybe I have shared the talent of the magic pet, so it is relatively smooth in the cultivation of earth magic."

   In front of professionals, Hudson can't believe that he is self-taught. If it were really that easy to practice magic, magicians would already be dead on the streets.

  In order not to give the opponent a chance to go deeper, Hudson decisively chose to let the Cubs take the blame. Anyway, it is all magic obtained through talent sharing, and it can be justified if you don't know some common sense about magic.

   "Baron Hudson, you are so lucky to be able to get an Earth Bear as a magic pet.

   I wonder what method you used to recover it? If it is convenient, please advise one or two.

   You must know that my mentor, in order to obtain a magic pet, has gone deep into the Warcraft Mountains seven times, but so far he has found nothing.

  There are also a few pretentious seniors and senior sisters who sneaked into the Warcraft Mountains with guards last year, but they were all fed to the Warcraft!

  Listening to the girl's constant complaints, Hudson suddenly found that the Viscount Oran was no longer there. The surrounding nobles also consciously gave up their space, leaving the two of them here alone.

   It can be seen that everyone is very sensible, and no one jumped out to disrupt the stage. It's just this kind of scene, Hudson is also panicked! As a single dog, who can tell him what to do at this moment?

   Should he continue to communicate magic with Melissa, or talk about magic pets? The problem is that his knowledge in these areas is all novice!

  Although Hudson also has a magic pet, Bear Stearns is obviously not a serious bear and is not representative at all.

   If he went to find a magic pet according to his routine of fooling the cubs, there is a high probability that he will feed the magic beast. Hudson just wanted to find a topic to chat with, but he wasn't going to kill anyone.

   "Luck, who can say for sure? Miss Melissa, you are so beautiful, maybe someday a monster will come to your door.

  Like my Earth Bear, it actually delivered itself. The first time we met was in my tent.

  As the host, I just treated it to a big meal, and then we became friends. It was this chance encounter that it concluded a partnership contract with me. "

   Hudson said pretending to be helpless.

  He didn't want to pretend, but if that set of magical tricks were spoken out, it would really damage his stalwart influence as Baron Hudson.

   Simply concealing it in good faith is good for everyone. Bear Stearns, who wanted to be the bear in question, didn't want to let the matter leak out.

   After all, that is the dark history in its bear life. If it spreads out, the eternal reputation of the Earth Bear clan will be completely buried by it.
