CHAPTER XLIX
"Hmm!"
Baron Tyre looked at the stiff young man in front of him, and some of the features of the other man were evident to the Tyre Leader, the kind of hunter who had calluses on his fingertips because of the draw, and the appearance of his arms; Even if the other person is thin, these characteristics are obvious; In addition, the local accent indicates that this is a local, not the person from the petty aristocracy of the Emerald Capital.
This caused Baron Tyre and his advisor to look at each other, and both nodded in satisfaction.
Obviously, this is a nobleman who knows the rules and has no malice.
In fact, when Baron Tyre learned that there might be a nobleman from the Emerald City in his order, he was thinking about it in the back of his heart.
After all, as the lord of the Tyre Domain, the Baron of Tyre knew very well what his territory, those nobles in the Emerald Capital, was like.
It is not too much to say that it is a poor mountain and a bad water.
And no nobleman would come here, even for the sake of a good future, and he would not choose him to come to gild - the Vauban city of the Marquis Vauban was obviously more suitable.
Baron Tyre had even met young nobles from the Emerald Capital there more than once.
The kind of outward manners, but the arrogance in the bones, is very fresh in the memory of this Baron of Tyre; Therefore, if he could, he definitely did not want to see such a young nobleman appear in his domain, especially if he had entered his local knighthood.
Then, when his staff, his trusted adviser, told him of another possibility, the Baron of Tyre's mood became even worse.
After all, a young nobleman who needs to take refuge in his poor country is obviously even more unbearable.
Therefore, after receiving a request for help from the Knights, Baron Tyre sent his unpleasant relative, who was not related by blood at all.
This is nothing more than to test that little nobleman.
However, unexpectedly, the little nobleman actually hanged two of his retinue of unpleasant fellows.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that the other party actually killed the murderer of his original knight leader and a group of elites!
Suddenly, the Baron of Tyre had a better impression of this little nobleman from the Emerald City - perhaps, the other party was a little arrogant, but he still had some ability.
Then, when the gold-leafed gift was delivered, looking at the flowery handwriting and modest words on it, Baron Tyre's impression of Dean was once again a little better—young people are easily impulsive, but if they have the ability and know how to correct their mistakes, they still have a great future.
In the end, when Ike, a native of Tyre, appeared as a representative of the other party, Baron Tyre could not help but be very satisfied—the other party was undoubtedly telling him that he had no bad thoughts and would not use his own people to disgrace the Knights; And for such a young and sensible nobleman, Baron Tyre instantly became interested.
Baron Tyre's gaze looked at his staff again, and when he saw that the other party was also slightly bowing, he immediately added with kindness to Ike, who was still bowing, "Get up, Captain Ike!" ”
"Yes, Lord Baron!"
After straightening his body, the thin militia captain, almost without stopping, took out from his bosom the gift that he had always cherished close to him—since it was a gift post, if there was no gift, what kind of gift was it?
"Lord Baron, this is a gift from Captain Dean to you!"
The emaciated militia captain bent down again, lifting the palm-sized brocade box with both hands high.
"It's ......"
After seeing the brocade box, Baron Tyr and Ikos were stunned - although the previous letter was enough to show that the young man from the Emerald City was from an extraordinary background, at least very wealthy, but after seeing this brocade box, the two were still stunned.
There is nothing unusual about the box itself, but the silk on the box is extremely conspicuous.
Although it had been cut several times and covered the box as a decoration, both Baron Tyre and Ikos could tell that it was a fine piece of silk.
"What a pity!"
Baron Tyre sighed in his heart - you know, since he had a 'silk' blanket, he wanted another one, but the price was really not affordable for him the more financially shy he was, and for this he had always regretted it, and now that he saw the brocade box, it was natural for him to think that if he gave him these silks, he would definitely have a symmetrical blanket.
However, it was only after such a thought turned around in his mind that Baron Tyr looked forward to it more and more.
After all, just the gift box is that, so what will the gift be?
Under the signal of Baron Tyre, Ikos walked forward quickly, took the gift box from Ike's hand, and felt the friction between his fingers and the silk outside the gift box, the smooth touch, he couldn't help but think of the girl's skin - it really deserves to be silk!
With such an exclamation, Ikos handed over the one to Baron Tyre at once.
Syllable!
Almost as soon as he got his hands on the box, Baron Tyre opened it, and suddenly a soft luster spread out of the box—a round, plump pearl larger than an adult's thumb was placed in the box, set off by a layer of black flannel.
"Ahh
Such a soft exclamation came out of Baron Tyre's mouth irrepressibly, causing the chief of the guard, who had been guarding the door, to break into the door at once.
"My lord, what's wrong?!"
The chief of the guard had already drawn his long sword, stared around, and finally landed on Ike's body, and with that murderous look, it was clear that with a word from Baron Tyre, our emaciated militia captain would fall to the ground.
"Ahem, ahem...... Nothing, just a sudden thought of something missing! ”
Baron Tyre waved his hand at the chief of his guard with a little embarrassment, and then, his gaze looked at Ike as Dean's representative very softly.
"Dean. Sir. Ken, did you say anything else? ”
Baron Tyre asked.
"Captain, ask Lord Baron when you will be able to visit Lord Baron!"
Feeling the harmony and harmony of Baron Tyre, although the thin militia captain was nervous, he also understood that this was a gift from his regimental commander, and he was emboldened at the moment, and said his regimental commander's orders one by one.
"Of course, you can ...... at any time"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Baron Tyre, who was holding the gift box tightly, immediately said, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a staff member on the side, who immediately replaced Baron Tyre and added: "At night!" Tonight, at the Baron's Mansion, Lord Baron invited Dean . Your Excellency Ken is here for the banquet! ”
"Please come over here and get an invitation with me!"
Baron Tyre's staff then left the room with our emaciated militia captain.
And about twenty minutes later, the staff gentleman returned to this room.
"Your Excellency, you should be careful with what you say and do, and if you do it casually, it will only make that Dean . Mr. Ken thinks you're deliberately being slight! ”
Mr. Staff looked at Baron Tyre, who was still holding the gift box and admiring the pearl, and said very loyally.
"Of course, of course, I'm just too excited!"
Baron Tyre closed the gift box and smiled wryly, it was obvious that he also knew that he had been reckless before-the exchange between nobles was definitely not the so-called gentlemen's friendship as light as water, but required a real exchange of courtesies.
To put it simply, Dean gave Baron Tyre a pearl, and Baron Tyre had to return the favor with a gift of equal value.
Of course, before that, there is also a banquet to entertain each other.
If Dean is satisfied, he will invite Baron Tyre to his home for a banquet next time, and then the two sides will exchange gifts again.
And this procedure needs to be done three or four times in a row before both parties can visit each other empty-handed, but on some holidays, some small gifts are unavoidable.
Therefore, for this aristocratic way of communication, ordinary families simply cannot afford it, and even some aristocratic families need considerable financial support, and if they cannot obtain such support, then they will soon fade out of the circle of this high society, and eventually, be forgotten.
As for going cheeky?
That would only become a real laughing stock and disgrace the whole family.
Baron Tyre, of course, did not want to disgrace the whole family, but looking at the pearl, he was troubled; After all, this pearl, according to his eyes, is worth at least fifty kimptons, and with the gift box, the total value reaches sixty kimptons.
In other words, he had to give away sixty Kimpton equivalents.
Suddenly, Baron Tyre, who was very financially strained, had a headache.
"Don't forget about jì, my lord. Lord Ken also doused a group of robbers, and you deserve a reward! ”
And before Baron Tyr could think about which piece of the family treasury to take, the words of the staff next to him immediately made the baron's head ache more and more.
"Ikos, this is really bad news, and if there is any bad news, you might as well say it all at once!"
Baron Tyre looked at his staff with a wry smile.
"You also need to prepare a banquet - although you can limit the number of people you invite, but the food and drinks are unavoidable!"
Mr. Staff said again, and suddenly, Baron Tyre leaned back in his chair and let out a painful **.
