Chapter 583： 　Meet the earl

"I heard that there is a combined fleet in the Yorton Star Territory invading the Rudson Star Territory. The Federation is unable to clone and can only open the interstellar battlefield. Let the major nobles enter, and Master Allen is recalled by the family and will go to the interstellar battlefield. So next For some time, we are the only one here." Edward briefly explained the situation.

On the other side, Roger had already collected all their luggage, so everyone left the dock.

After entering the Ark Harbor, Roger led them to the hotel that had been registered in the morning. After arranging the room, Edward asked Roger to lead them to White Castle. Roger smiled and said, "Master Edward, don't rush for this hour and a half. The new earl is busy with business, and now you have to make an appointment in advance to see you. After you arrive today, I have asked someone to post a famous post for the adults, but it may take tomorrow or the day after tomorrow before the earl can find time."

"So long?" Edward frowned.

Then Roger's people came back and whispered in his ear. Roger showed an unexpected expression and said to Edward: "I heard that you are Sir Allen's agent. The earl has arranged a time to meet you in the afternoon."

Gilesken saw him as soon as possible, and Edward did not refuse. So Roger took the lead and invited everyone from afar to have lunch at a well-known restaurant in Ark Harbor. The lunch is also rich, and most of them are seafood. Some of the dishes are made with special methods, which made Edward who tried for the first time shouted delicious. After having lunch and taking a break, Roger arranged a carriage to take Edward and the others to White Castle.

The carriage was stopped at the entrance of Baibao, and several soldiers in light brown armor approached and questioned it. These soldiers looked a little arrogant. Edward noticed that their helmets were designed with deer-like horns, and their chests also had a relief design of deer heads. This armor is very elegant in terms of design, but in terms of practicality, Edward shook his head secretly. Let’s not mention that the horns on the helmet have no effect at all except to increase the weight in vain. Can the soldiers use their horns to confront the enemy like a deer? There is also the relief on the chest. That's right, the armor looks exquisite, but the hollowing and embossing treatment makes the armor on the chest insufficient. This kind of armor, I am afraid that fire. The gun can be pierced at a closer distance, so what defense?

These soldiers also wore dark green cloaks, but they all looked mighty, and they spoke very coldly. They asked everyone in the car, "Who are you? This is not a place for people to enter and exit casually. No receipt. Invite, get out of here now."

Edward snorted slightly, and Willick and Broy, who were riding their horses behind the carriage, also looked bad. In their eyes, these soldiers are gorgeous decorations at best. When it comes to combat power, even the most ordinary infantrymen of Deep Sea Lin Ji are quite inadequate. Although they are wrapped in exquisite armor and draped with mighty cloaks, all of them have low source power and unstable footsteps. They are simply soft eggs that can be put down at will.

Roger put a smile on his face and poked his head out and said: "We received an invitation from the earl, and here is Baron Edward, who has important matters to discuss with the earl. Please let me go, this is an invitation letter."

After handing out the invitation letter signed by Giles, several soldiers reluctantly put the carriage in. Roger retracted his head and Edward asked faintly: "This is the Earl's guard, it's really majestic."

"It wasn't like this before." Roger shook his head: "But since Lord Oban passed away, Earl Giles replaced his father in managing the city, and some things have gradually changed. Like these soldiers, they are mostly Auban relatives. Some of the bastards, who had no jobs or accomplishments, came to Whitecastle. It just so happened that Earl Giles wanted to set up a guard, so they became soldiers here."

"I heard that this personal guard is an independent system, not under the jurisdiction of Deep Sea Linji, so it is usually very arrogant."

"Oh, that's not so good for the earl's reputation."

Roger shrugged: "I don't know if the Earl knew about it. In short, he seemed to let the guards go. Probably, he wanted to go a different path from Earl Aubin. After all, he is still young and always has his ideas."

"It's good to have an idea, I'm afraid it's wrong." Edward said pointedly.

Roger glanced at him and said nothing. The carriage stopped in the cobblestone square. When Edward and Roger got out of the carriage, the butler of Mace greeted him: "Long time no see, Mr. Roger. Is this Sir Allen's agent?"

"This is Baron Edward." Roger stepped back a little and introduced.

"Good afternoon, Lord Baron. Count Giles is already waiting for you in the study, please come with me." Metz looked at the two Willicks again, showing a reluctant smile: "As for the guardian of your lord, someone will entertain you, but It’s inconvenience to go see the earl together."

"It's okay." Edward nodded slightly to Willick, motioning for him and Broy to follow the arrangement.

Walking on the corridor to the study, Roger suddenly said: "Butler Mays has lost weight recently."

The butler smiled bitterly and said: "Earl Giles is working hard to get rid of it, and we naturally have to take more responsibility as the servants. The more things we do, the natural rest is not good, and Mr. Roger laughs."

"With those guards in the fort, I can't get up when I want to come to the butler of Mace." Roger smiled.

Metz snorted and said, "All the **** who made trouble for me, all of them are from relatives, and their eyes are up to the sky."

In a word, it shows the housekeeper's dissatisfaction. Roger and Edward exchanged glances, and the latter whispered in Metz's ear: "We will probably stay in Ark Harbor for a few days. If the butler is free, we might as well meet up in private and talk casually. Sir Allen once I said that if it weren’t for the butler of Metz, it would be difficult for him to get a place under Count Aubin. This time I came here and told me many times not to forget your credit. So you see, we just brought some special products. As a gift to the butler of Mace, I hope you will accept it."

Metz was rather flattered and thanked him immediately. When he reached the entrance of the study, he suddenly grabbed Edward's sleeve and said, "Viscount Graar is also inside. Lord Baron remember to watch out for him."

I stopped talking and opened the door.

Edward knew that Metz was reminding him to be careful of Graar. For this man, he also heard Alan say that he knew that the other person was not a good thing. After leaving a bit of thought, Metz reported back and invited them both inside. As soon as the door opened, there was a burst of laughter, and the young Earl Giles greeted him and said, "I heard that Sir Edward was a powerful aid to Baron Allen. I was still wondering what kind of person you would be. I didn't expect to be so young. ."

"Thanks for the compliment, count." Edward replied just right.

Roger next to him also bowed, "Say hello to you, Lord Earl."

"Mr. Roger." Giles' attitude towards the earl became a little colder, and he just nodded his head as a response.

There was a hint of displeasure in Roger's eyes, but he dared not show it. Suddenly a murky voice came in and said, "Who I thought it was, it turned out to be a slave merchant. This is the earl's study, butler Mays, how can you let a merchant follow along?"

There was an embarrassed expression on Mays's face, and Roger's breathing even heavier. Edward slowly looked at the speaker, but he was a man with a smirk, thinking that it was Viscount Nagar. He smiled and said: "I am not familiar with Fuzhou Harbor, Mr. Roger is here as my guide. May I ask you who?"

Metz next to him introduced: "This is Viscount Graar."

Grall straightened his chest and said, "Sir Edward came for the first time, and he didn't understand the rules. It's excusable. But now, Sir Edward should know that a mere businessman is not qualified to stand in this room, or let him Roger go down."

Edward nodded and greeted: "It turned out to be Viscount Grall. The Viscount didn't know it. Now Mr. Roger has been conferred the chairmanship of the Chamber of Commerce by Sir Allen. The business and trade in our territory will be managed by Mr. Roger. It can be said that he is An important person, not a mere businessman."

While Gladton hummed, Roger gave Edward a grateful look, but said: "Sir Edward, there is really nothing wrong with me here. I'll go down first."

It is an honor for everyone who is a subordinate to be protected by Edward. As a subordinate, you must also consider the master. Although Edward is not the master, since he represents Allen, then Roger doesn't want him to be embarrassed and put up more enemies.

Edward nodded He also knows how to advance and retreat. I don't want to make Graar too embarrassed, after all, he and Alan are both vassals of Giles.

Although, only a nominal vassal.

Roger was taken away by Metz, and Giles said, "Where's Sir Allen, didn't he come back?"

"That's why I'm here." Edward took out a letter from his body and handed it to Giles's case: "This is a letter written by Sir Allen. Please check it out. Sir Allen suddenly received the family. Urgent news requires him to go back. From one month to one hundred days, he should return. During this period, I will take care of the affairs of the territory temporarily, so he asked me to visit Jill as soon as possible. Lord Sri Lanka."

This flattering slapped the young earl comfortably. He smiled and read Alan's letters roughly, and confirmed the signature and stamp of the signature office, which was equivalent to confirming Edward's identity. Putting the letter away, Giles said: "It's a pity that I still have a lot of things to ask Sir Allen, but he left in a hurry. Sir Edward is highly regarded by him and is Sir Allen's right-hand man. He wants to come to Ai. Sir Lun’s territory will be well managed in your hands."

"I don't dare to be a right-hand man, I just do my best, but I beg Sir Allen to come back and he won't lose his territory." Edward replied with a smile.
