5 The responsibility of the nobility

In an era when humans have not entered the modern industrial machinery civilization, but have to use animal power to work, large livestock is definitely a measure of a family's wealth.

The knight was really anxious, and shouted loudly, "Lord, don't play. Go back and take a look. I don't know where a blue dragon came and robbed our castle~!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Thomas exclaimed in fright: "Master. Don't~!"

Lorraine asked in amazement: "Why not? Don't you shout all the time for me to revitalize the family? This great opportunity is here. As long as we kill this idiot dragon..."

"Master~!" Thomas interrupted him, then smiled reluctantly, and said, "Master, I want you to revitalize the family business. I don't want you to die. The Flynn family is the only one left, if you Also dead. The Reims family is cut off. Besides, why are you going to kill the dragon?"

"Huh? Isn't the ancestor of the Reims family a Paladin? I remember."

"Master Carl is indeed a great Paladin. But you are not."

Lorraine cracked his mouth, then curled it up and said, "So ~! So what?"

Thomas didn't understand what he meant by the 'so', but he said patiently, "That is to say, dragons protect their families like humans. What if word gets out that the dragon's family comes knocking at their door?"

Something occurred to him, and he added: "No, not his family. Someone might have been the first to take your head off and offer it to the dragons in order to win their friendship."

Lorraine touched his head and was speechless.

After a moment he looked up at the sun and said, "Thomas, it's getting late. Don't you give your Lord a ride? We're going to a wedding."

Thomas smiled, knowing that Lorraine had taken his advice and was not about to act foolishly. So he said, "As you wish, young master."

Then he waved his whip, drove the broken ox cart, and continued to move forward.

The ox cart wandered around, and gradually disappeared at the far end of the road.

Maybe it was because the peace was too long, maybe the dragon was too idiotic. The two of them completely lost their due vigilance, and forgot the important news of the dragon attack. But they forgot: "No matter how trash the dragon is, it is also a dragon."

The two of them drove the bullock cart and walked for a long time. When the sun was about to be in the middle, they finally came to a small village.

Before entering the village, he saw a large group of people who had been waiting there greeted them.

They came to the front and saluted Lorraine one after another.

"Hello Lord Lord."

"Hello, my lord."

" Master, you are in good health."

"..."

Thomas saw Lorraine's blank look, and whispered to the side: "These are all residents of the Lorraine family territory."

Lorraine then understood.

He smiled dryly, then waved, and said to everyone: "Haha, everyone has worked hard, and the health is good~!"

At this time, a voice came from behind the crowd: "Keep away, keep away. Keep away. Sir Alex is here, don't be so messy, unruly, let Sir Alex laugh."

Hearing that voice, people stepped back and gave way to a trail. Immediately afterwards, an old man with all white hair leaned on a cane and appeared in front of Lorraine tremblingly.He raised his head, looked at Lorraine carefully, and then suddenly stretched out his hand, holding Lorraine and burst into tears. While crying, he said: "It's really young master, it's really young master~! A few days ago, I heard people say that you are seriously ill and will be dying soon. Woo~oo~...

Lorraine listened to him babbling and talking, and could not help but secretly said in his heart: "Honor and honour? Unparalleled bravery? A role model for the knights? Such a family hasn't been cut off yet, is God blind?"

He was very suspicious in his heart that the old man was cursing himself maliciously and rubbed those tears and nose on him, but seeing the respect that everyone had for the old man, he dared not say anything.

Someone hurriedly advised: "Mr. Boll, don't cry. Today is your grandson's wedding day. You should be happy."

"Yes, yes. I'm glad. I'm very happy." The old man wiped another tear, and then went on: "Master, when you were young, I also held you. At that time, you were a baby..."

Lorraine couldn't help but grinned, but for the old man who used to be an attendant of the grandfather, he could only deal with it: "Yes, yes, you also hugged me. Your old man is in good health."

Thomas also followed to persuade him, saying: "Mr. Ball, what we will have is time to chat. You see it will be noon soon. Don't miss the time for marriage. Everyone is waiting."

"Yes, yes, yes. Can't waste time." The old man wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. Then he waved his hand and exclaimed: "Go, let's all go. Everyone is here. Today is good wine and meat."

After finishing speaking, take the lead and lead Lorraine to the village.

The crowd gathered around Lorraine and came to the village square.

The band has already started to play.

There are dozens of guests in the small square. Some danced on the wooden table full of flowers, and some sat at the long dining table. Others are holding wine glasses and chatting there. In addition, many children took advantage of this festive opportunity to chase and fight in the crowd, screaming and laughing.

On the dining table are stacked fragrant meals and jugs filled with wine. The bride, dressed in a white wedding dress, sits at a specially raised table with the groom and her family. This arrangement full of rustic smell is an ancient sunset empire custom.

When everyone saw Lorraine's arrival, they all got up and let out a burst of cheers.

Lorraine saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, and didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly waved to everyone.

Under the leadership of the old village chief, he came to the center of the venue.

At this time, the originally brisk music suddenly changed and became solemn. Everyone also fell silent.

The newlyweds, accompanied by their family members, all got up and walked towards him slowly.

Lorraine suddenly felt a little confused.

Thomas hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "Master, you are going to preside over their wedding ceremony.

"yi?" Lorraine asked in amazement: "What's the matter? I remember that the wedding is so sacred, shouldn't it be presided over by the priest?"

Thomas knew that the young master had forgotten a lot of things after he was ill, so Shang explained patiently: "These people are all members of the Flynn family, and they can farm and hunt with peace of mind under the protection of the family. Of course it's a matter of course. You come to preside over their wedding."

He saw Lorraine's unbelieving gaze, he paused, and then continued: "Of course, there is another reason: the pastors charge too much. They don't even see our small scenes. "

Lorraine rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "They charge a lot, so how much do we charge?"

Thomas seemed to be choked by something, and then replied in a low voice: "Serving his own residents is the responsibility of the lord."

It turns out that this is voluntary labor and is not paid. Lorraine suddenly understood, and couldn't help sighing in disappointment.

At this time, the new couple had come to the front, standing respectfully, waiting for Lorraine to host.

Lorraine thought for a while, then followed the classic lines of those pastors in his memory, and began to speak: "Today, at this moment, we are about to witness the happy marriage of a couple."

He raised his head and shouted: "Gentlemen and ladies, if you have any objections to their combination, please raise them at this moment."

He said this, looking at everyone.

Although everyone saw that Lorraine's mode of hosting was somewhat different from the traditional customs of the Sunset Empire, no one objected.

Waiting for a few breaths, then raised his right hand and said to the couple: "In order to ensure that this marriage is voluntary, I am asking here on behalf of the God of Happiness, the bride... uh...

He suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the name of the woman, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in public, so he was vague, and went on to say, "Who is the bride, you are willing to marry the bridegroom as wife?"

The bride gave the groom a shy look, then nodded quickly, and said in a low voice: "I do."　　 Lorraine turned his head and said to the bridegroom: "The bridegroom... Are you willing to take the bride as your wife?"

The bridegroom looked back at the bride, nodding joyfully and replied: "I do."

Lorraine spoke solemnly: "Then I declare here that you are now legal couples..." The enthusiastic music sounded again, and some people began to dance to the music.Although the ceremony of this wedding is not too traditional, but who would bring it up to discourage everyone. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. hungry a long time ago. At this time, filling my stomach is the main thing.

Lorraine came to the dining table next to him and loaded a large plate of food in order to reward his croaking belly with hunger.

Just when he was about to eat, he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance. Then a knight with a full head rushed into the square riding a thin horse.

The knight rushed to the center of the venue and then jumped out of his horse. Then he ran to Lorraine in a few steps, and shouted out of breath: "My Lord Earl..., the big thing is not good~!"

Lorraine suddenly got up, looked at the knight, and then shouted in a heartache, "Asshole~! You asshole, if you are exhausted with my last Ferrari, you will be in trouble immediately.

Lorraine cursed, "What's bad? You bastard, if you exhaust my last Ferrari, you will be bad soon~!"

The knight said bitterly, "Master, you still have the heart to care about this thin horse..."　　 Lorraine interrupted him unceremoniously, and cursed: "Asshole~! Is this an ordinary horse? This is a thousand miles daily. Imported from Italy, the famous brand among the famous brands, the Ferrari horse~!" hurriedly said: "What did you say? Giant dragon? Are you sure?"

The knight knew it wrong. He swallowed, and stretched out his right hand to solemnly said: "My Lord, although there have been no traces of the dragon on the mainland for many years, I can swear. It is indeed a dragon."

Lorraine smiled reluctantly and said, "No, no. You made a mistake. I didn't mean that."

At this time, everyone in the venue also realized that there was something wrong here, and they stopped and gathered around here.

Thomas reminded him next to him: "Master, this matter, it's better not to disturb everyone for now."

Lorraine looked at the people in the venue and nodded.

The three people found the village chief, and under his leadership, came to a room next to the venue. Seeing that there were no other people around, Lorraine said, "Now, tell me what's going on."

The knight said: "That's it. Soon after you left, a dragon came from nowhere. It fell from the sky, burned the stables, and then began to wreak havoc..."

The idiot dragon suddenly appeared in front of Lorraine. He settled, and then said: "The dragon? Is it a blue dragon. The eyes are big and fat, and the tail is tied with a pink bow?"

The knight was also taken aback.

He thought for a while, and then said, "It's a blue dragon, yes. But everyone panicked and didn't notice if the dragon's tail was tied with a bow. What? Sir, look. Have you been to that dragon?"

Lorraine waved his hand and said vaguely: "Yes, I encountered it once on the roadThe knight was about to ask again.

Thomas asked next to him, "Did anyone hurt? Is the castle severely damaged?"

The knight showed a strange look on his face, and said, "No one was hurt. And the damage to the castle is not too serious."

"what?"

The knight explained: "Yes, everyone was busy in the fields at the time. There were not many people left in the castle. And according to the people at the time. The dragon was also very strange. It drove all people out. Only then began to set fire to destroy it."

Lorraine and Thomas looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Looks right, it's the fool dragon. Only it would use such a clumsy method.

What kind of broken dragon, even the robber can't do a good job in such a promising career, it almost lost the face of the dragon as a strong, and it will make people despise it for ten thousand years. Thinking of this, Lorraine gave Thomas a sideways glance and said dissatisfiedly: "I said I would kill it~!"

He turned his head and saw the knight said: "Bado, what happened later?"

Baduo hesitated, and said, "Later...Later... after it destroyed the horse compartment, it was going to fly away. But it suddenly came back. It must take a valuable hostage like a princess."

Thomaston's heart was tense, and he asked anxiously: "What happened later?"

Baduo said: "Later, it grabbed Aunt Taibesha and flew away. Before leaving, it said that we should raise four million gold coins and then go to Maple Leaf Mountain, twenty miles south of the castle, to redeem it."

Mother Taibesha? Lorraine was stunned for a moment, thinking of the fat aunt, but couldn't figure out how much she seemed like a valuable hostage that could be equivalent to the princess.

Lorraine then became furious and shouted: "What? The chef who kidnapped me? With such a low-sighted look, even if it is an idiot dragon, it is really unforgivable."

Thomas and Bardo suddenly seemed to be choked severely by something, staring at Lorraine dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time.

Lorraine turned and said, "Bardo, go and drive out my ox cart, let's go back."

Bardo stomped his foot and said anxiously: "My Lord, the bullock cart is too slow. Why don't put the horse on, we can also go faster."

Lorraine glared and said angrily: "Asshole. Anyway, the dragon has already run. What's the use of going back? It's a livestock. In case it's really exhausted

Thomas looked at Lorraine and said, "Master, what should we do?"

Lorraine said in an unpleasant voice: "What else can we do? Did we take out four million gold coins? What if they come again after two days? How many times can we stand the idiot dragon?"

Thomas hesitated for a moment, and said: "You mean we go to the local security team for help?"

Lorraine said: "Please. That bunch of rice buckets? It's okay to bully the people, can you count on them to kill the dragon?"

"Or ask for help from the empire, maybe send magicians and troops..."

Lorraine gave him a blank look and said, "Thomas, wake up. You also know that those damn officials, in addition to eating, drinking, gambling, corruption and bribery. Wait for them?. Don't forget, we only have three days. ."

"Then you mean..."

Lorraine smiled proudly, then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, saying: "I mean, of course, I want to go up the mountain myself and slaughter that idiot dragon."

Thomas exclaimed: "Master, if something happens to you, the Flynn family will be gone..."

Lorraine waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Thomas, don't worry, I'll be fine if I kill the idiot."

The loyal and loyal butler was almost about to cry at this time, "But master..."

Lorraine glanced at him coldly, and said, "Shut up, I've decided, don't talk about it anymore."

Thomas suffocated, but he didn't expect Lorraine to actually start playing at this time. He fixedly looked at Lorraine for a long time, then gave a deep salute and said calmly: "As you wish, my master."

After he stood up straight, he said again: "Please allow me to go back first and see the situation at home."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lorraine to answer, he turned around and strode out of the room. After a while, I heard a sound of horseshoes, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Lorraine couldn't help but feel heartache. It seems that his Ferrari horse is going to be exhausted today.
