Chapter 804 The battle related to the territory

When Wright saw Zhang Xu, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Xu tightly, "Zhang Xu, welcome back."

Zhang Xucai was a little stiff when he was hugged by Wright. Then he relaxed and hugged Wright, "Yes, I'm back."

"Haven't had dinner yet? I'll ask the cook to prepare some meals." Wright finally let go of Zhang Xu.

Looking at Wright, Zhang Xu was in a good mood, and he was not polite, "Well, I want to eat steamed cod, blood sausage..."

"Okay, I'll let the cook do it." Lai pulled Zhang Xu into the living room.

As he walked, he told the servant beside him to tell the cook to cook some delicious food and bring it to him.Especially for steamed cod and blood sausage.

The servant responded and left.

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Wright asked Zhang Xu, "You are so fast. You came back in a few days. Did you have fun going to the orc territory?"

Zhang Xu nodded, "Not bad."

The two started talking.

Zhang Xu found that Wright was a little unfocused and always distracted.

Although Wright was very happy to see him back, there was always some sadness on his face.

Zhang Xu thought for a while, and then said, "Wright, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Is there any trouble?"

Wright was silent for a moment, "The Marquis of Thales from the nearby territory was interested in a piece of our territory. He wanted to exchange a piece of barren territory. He proposed it three times, but my father didn't agree. He chose to fight to solve the problem. He brings forth a man, and my father brings forth a man. Fight."

"If the man sent by my father loses, he must agree to exchange that territory. Only if he wins, can he keep that territory. That territory includes two villages, two large fields, and a silver mine. If he loses For that territory, the annual income of our family's territory will be reduced by 30.00%."

Zhang Xu spoke, "Who are you going to send? Is the person sent by Marquis Thales very powerful?"

Wright nodded, "The Marquis of Thales is a holy rank. My father is no more than five ranks. He is not his opponent at all. There is no requirement for the sent person. I, the people in the territory, friends, and elders can do anything."

Zhang Xu smiled, "That's easy, I'll help you."

Wright's eyes lit up, but then they became sad, "The Marquis of Thales has been on the holy steps for 30 years. Moreover, he is vicious. In the past, the people who competed with him either died or were beaten and disabled. I Worried... I'm worried..."

Zhang Xu smiled, "There is nothing to worry about. I will definitely help you deal with this matter."

There was gratitude in Wright's eyes, "Thank you, Zhang Xu, but..."

Zhang Xu continued, "Don't you believe in my strength? I can cut off the head of a level five dragon."

At this moment, a voice came, "Zhang Xu, thank you."

I saw that at some point, Earl Jaffrey was already standing behind the two of them and heard the conversation.

Count Jaffrey continued, "If that territory is not lost, I will make you a knight and use that territory as your fief. The Marquis of Thales is very cruel. If it becomes his territory, those two villages All the villagers will have no way to survive."

Zhang Xu smiled, "No need. I'm not interested in land or titles."

Earl Jaffrey was slightly surprised.

He heard from Wright that Zhang Xu is a commoner, although his ancestors may have been prominent.

How could a commoner refuse to become a noble?

Becoming a knight with a fief is the goal of many people's lifelong struggle.

Earl Jaffrey had something to say, but the servant came up and said that the meal was ready.

The three of them went to sit at the dining table.

Sure enough, very rich.There is blood sausage and steamed cod.

They are all Zhang Xu's favorite dishes.

Zhang Xu was not polite and started to eat. Wright and Earl Jaffrey also ate with him.

It seems that there is a solution to the difficulties faced by the territory. Wright and Earl Jaffrey are both in a much better mood.

After eating, Zhang Xu went upstairs to rest.

It was the same bedroom.It can be seen that it is cleaned every day, and the fireplace in the room is burning with firewood, which is very warm.

Zhang Xu fell asleep.

In the morning, I was woken up by the sound of sparrows outside the window.Another fine day.

Although it is snowy, it cannot resist the enthusiasm of people to travel.

Zhang Xu saw it, and the town was very lively.

The next few days were the most comfortable and leisurely time Zhang Xu spent in this world.

Earl Jaffrey regards Zhang Xu as a distinguished guest. Wright and Lucy like Zhang Xu very much, and the three often play together.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived.

Early in the morning, the cook prepared a hearty breakfast.Instead of having breakfast in their respective rooms, everyone went downstairs to dine at the dining table in the living room.

Zhang Xu could tell that Wright was fine, but Earl Jaffrey was a little nervous.

Zhang Xu was calm. He is an intermediate god, so he can't deal with a holy rank?

Seeing Zhang Xu so indifferent, Earl Jaffrey's nervousness was slightly relieved.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the square inside the castle.

Count Jaffrey ordered twenty guards and prepared to take them with him.

Even Lucy was going.

The group mounted their horses.After leaving the castle, head west.

After walking about ten kilometers, they left the territory of Earl Jaffrey.

After walking for about ten kilometers, I saw a castle surrounded by towns.

Although the castle is also very majestic, it is not as old as the castle of the Jaffrey family.It looks like it was built no more than 100 years ago.

The older the castle, the older the family's inheritance.

It means that this family is a veteran nobleman.

Here, it is said to be old-money (old nobleman).

The old nobles not only represent noble etiquette and noble character, but also represent the family's deep heritage and strong strength.

Count Jaffrey and others were seen from a distance. The castle's drawbridge was lowered and the gate was opened.

A group of people rode directly into the castle.

After getting off the horse, a man who looked like a butler stepped forward to salute, "Honorable Earl Jaffrey, hello, my master has been waiting for a long time."

Jaffrey was upright with a calm face, "We set off after breakfast. The road is not close and there is snow, so we only arrived now."

The butler smiled awkwardly, "Follow me, please."

The guards stayed outside, Zhang Xu, Wright, and Ruth followed Earl Jaffrey into the castle living room.

This castle was obviously built according to the castle of Earl Jaffrey's family, according to cats and tigers.

Although it is also very grand, it does not have the atmosphere of vicissitudes and old objects, which makes people feel very unharmonious.

I saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room.

This man, wearing a scarlet samurai uniform, held a long spear in his hand.

The whole body is tense, giving people the feeling of being ready to go.

Seeing this person, Jaffrey stepped forward and bowed, "Hi, Marquis Thales."

Yes, whether Jaffrey is willing or not, this Thales is a marquis, one level higher than his title, and he must salute first.
