"It seems that Dugan has found a good place to go," Corbin Joyason looked at the letter Dugan sent to Lant. "Among our group, he and John went to the Blue Dragon School to escape. , and the remaining people were sent to various places."
Corbin stared blankly, thinking back to those familiar faces from more than ten years ago, "They promised me well back then, saying ¥%# that they were just coming in for a formality, and nothing would happen. We just had to watch. Wait until the next day and everything will be as usual." He muttered.
"Captain?" Seeing his boss in a daze, Lant asked softly.
"It's business as usual," Corbin's voice became louder, and the letter was easily crumpled and torn by the count's big hands, "In the end, it's business as usual for them, and a bunch of us will take the blame for these rebels."
"Sir?" Lant said loudly, trying to calm him down. Please don't talk to me about Chen Sesame and Rotten Millet.
"Ah, Lant," Corbin finally returned to reality.
"Call me captain, or old Corbin. Don't call me Earl. It sounds like swearing." Old Corbin smiled bitterly, "Look at the place around me, there is nothing like a count." place."
"Don't you have a patrol of 50 knights under your command?" In Lant's view, Earl Corbin not only has a place to live in the royal capital and has subordinates to drive him, but also has a title and extraordinary level. He is now His life is something that his other boss, Earl Kempins Maned Wolf, cannot envy.
"The patrol you mentioned has 25 people who are the honor guard of the Royal Palace Knights and serve as the honor guard here, 15 of them are young people from various families here, and 5 of them are pretty boys who are the names of His Majesty's sister here. "
"Okay, our sacrificial patrol team is simply to fill the gaps for various related households, right?" Lant was complaining about 80% of the salary of his unit in his heart, while admiring the eldest princess for actually arranging five lovers. one unit.
After silently counting the number of people, Lant asked, "Where are the remaining 10 knights?"
"..." Old Corbin looked at Lant, "The rest are my sons."
Well, what Lant admires the most is that the Earl has 10 sons, and all of them have met the criteria for being selected into the Knights. There is no way to get into this Knights if they are not junior.
"Does your granddaughter also work here?" Lant suddenly remembered the girl he saw at the door.
"Have you met my eldest daughter-in-law? She is the accountant here, and the others are not here..." The Earl thought about whom Lant was asking.
"Your counting house is in the tree?" Lant pointed to the door of the shrine, "When I first came in, I saw a girl in the tree house at the door."
"Girl?" Old Corbin frowned and suddenly opened his eyebrows, "You're not talking about the Arbor Fairy, are you?"
"Big... goblin?" Lant suddenly became interested.
"Yes, that is not my granddaughter." The old knight became happy. "She is the magical goblin of Pinewood and Qiaomu nearby, Liel Qiaomu. It seems that you have never seen the big goblin before, right?"
"Longtai Mountain is rich in magic elements. There is a dragon's nest on the top of the mountain and multiple magic towers on the mountainside. Therefore, it is easy for magic fairies to be produced here, and ordinary magic fairies can easily be promoted here." The Earl looked at the gate of the sacrificial temple. El Arbor was promoted under the throne of Lady Tyriana Dragonblood 200 years ago, and has been guarding the trees on the entire Longtai Mountain ever since."
"All the trees on Longtai Mountain are her spies. Otherwise, our patrol team, which is free of charge, would not be able to protect the temple."
"So the magic goblin is the real guardian here, and our patrol is just for name recognition?" Although Lant had already guessed it, the count's frankness still shocked him.
"Well, that's it, so you don't actually need to come here. You've already got the certificate to go up the mountain. If you take a temporary job, the salary won't be much. You can get it directly from the palace. We have nothing to do here." The old count spread his hands and said, "It's a nominal job here." You’re not the only one, there are 7 or 8 vice-captains alone.”
"In that case, I'll go back." Lant nodded. Since his boss confirmed that he didn't need to go to work, there was no need to rush here.
"Please wait a moment, Viscount Lant," the old knight said as he struggled to get up from the recliner, "Do you need an assistant or a family knight by your side?"
"What?"
The old man pointed to his grandson, "My grandson, Tierney Joyason, is 15 years old this year and is a junior knight. There is really no vacancy in this temple patrol. If you are short of family knights, can you take him away?"
"Grandpa?" Tierney was also very surprised when he suddenly heard the old count talking about him.
"Sir, can't you keep Tierney with you?" Lant was a little surprised. Your 10 sons have all been brought in, so there shouldn't be more than one grandson.
"Don't think this is just a place to eat for free, but not everyone can come here to eat." The count patted his grandson. "My 10 sons basically broke through 9 years ago. I spent a long time on it. They all arranged to come in, Tierney was too young at that time, and although he is qualified to be a knight now, he has no place."
"Here, Lord Earl, my place is not a pleasant place. Tierney is used to living in this mountain, so he may not be able to adapt." Lant didn't want to take over the young master next to him. After all, his knights really wanted to fight the barbarians. , but I don’t want to refuse in person.
"It's okay, young man, how can you not suffer at all?" The old earl didn't care much, and even came over and whispered to Lant, "This kid of mine can at least go to the Silver Knight in the future, and he has much more potential than Dugan. .”
Lant finally agreed to Count Gioassin. Although Tierney was a connected person, he was a connected person who could enter and leave the palace. Even if this kid stayed in Dragon Tooth City to help deliver the news, it would be good.
Tierney did not follow Lant down the mountain because he wanted to say goodbye to his father, uncles and Lielle Arbor.
When Lant went back, he saw the complete form of the Arbor Fairy. She was like a 1.6-meter-long gray-green haired girl, with two huge groups of blue and green wings like bees and butterflies behind her.
"Little Tierney, are you leaving now?" The big goblin hugged Tierney with great reluctance. "Who will play with me when you leave~"
"Lielle, don't be sad. I should come to see you in a few days." As a knight, Tierney actually snuggled into the arms of the big goblin.
Lant was still thinking, isn't that big goblin 200 years old? Sure enough, under the Fairy Queen's seat, the lifespan of the Great Fairy is indeed longer.
"Lielle has watched Tierney grow up since he was a child. Without her help, Tierney would not be a junior knight now," the Earl explained to Lant.
But at this moment, Lant finally knew that although old Corbin despised his so-called earl title, he never left this shrine.
It is probably because there is the great goblin Riel Arbor here, and with the protection of the great goblin, their family wishes they could have high-level professionals for generations to come, even if the family is in decline in terms of wealth and status (which it is not, the earl is not Self-proclaimed, the salary is still very considerable, and his family also picks the magic plants around Longtai Mountain casually), but talents come from generation to generation, and sooner or later they will rise.
In short, Lant's boss's career development reached the ceiling, so he started to fail, but he never thought that his current situation after failing would be what Earl Maned Wolf only dreamed of.
Some people betrayed themselves for their family and bloodline and got nothing in exchange for it, while others took possession of the inheritance and then started to show off. The joys and sorrows in the world are indeed different. Lant sighed as he went down the mountain.
. . . . .
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gulea came to Lant's Chamber of Commerce and came to take a ride back to school.
"Rielle Arbor? I have seen her. She is one of the most powerful fairies under Queen Tyriana. She is usually responsible for the growth of the forest on Longtai Mountain." Gu Leiya listened. Rant talked about today's experience on Longtai Mountain and further introduced the magical fairies to Rant.
"I heard that you made several songs with completely different styles on the Galloping Horse Plains?"
Gu Leiya mentioned Lant's level of creativity that shocked the locals, which made Lant feel ashamed for a while.
“Have you ever sung a song about a dragon?”
"Also...it's true," Lant thought for a while, and really remembered a song related to dragons, "There is a song "Rhapsody in the Clear Sky""
"Ah, how could this happen?
Just because of some small past,
As if seeing myself in the past,
Ta-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I don't know why this is happening,
I just want to fly directly to the sky,
Entering into a willful state,
Going back as my mood changes
It seems like it was like this from the beginning, not what I thought
. . . . .
I have the courage to transform into the wings behind you,
No matter how time passes, my magic is as strong as ever,
For the first encounter, I gave you a bouquet of flowers
Just for our connection at this moment, it doesn't matter even if we can't communicate, as long as tomorrow is normal. "
"Is this a description of a dragon?"
"I heard that a dragon wrote a song about himself." Lant didn't know whether the Dragon Maid animation song in his previous life was considered a dragon song, but Gu Leiya had definitely never heard such a cheerful song.
"That must be a gentle dragon"
