Chapter 21: At the time of the incident

The city of Ariak is located east of the domain of the Duke of Greenwood, and in the south of the city of Suero, this is the home base of the Arias family. As long as the first generation of the Duke of Arias disappeared, the main residence of the members of the Arias family was this historic central city. For Arias, the ancestral house near the town of Floro, It is a remote and desolate place where tax officials are too lazy to go. Wang Du is a place full of malice and distrust. Only here is their comfort.
However, this article does not apply to this generation of Earl of Carlos. The Earl spent most of his time in the capital, and from time to time, he made some sensational things and focused the old king ’s attention firmly on him. At the same time, his city of Aryak has developed quite well in the past two decades. Perhaps the difference between the city itself and other cities in the kingdom cannot be seen, but careful people will find that this city Most of the residents here are neatly dressed and full of energy. There are few beggars and gangsters, and even the peasants from the surrounding villages and towns are quite wealthy.
Unless the inspectors of the kingdom come here, there will be poor people who have no food to eat, soldiers with weak discipline, and incompetent officials. Aryak ’s officials have been good at performing such a good show over the years.
However, the atmosphere in the entire city today is different from that of normal days. Cars and horses coming and going and heavily armed soldiers make this quiet city full of war.
It is the time when the sun has just risen in the morning. Behind Earl ’s Court in the city center, a large martial arts ground was crowded with people wearing armor and robes. Most of these people looked at the high platform in front of the martial arts field with a serious expression and a little excitement, waiting for the protagonist to appear today.
Those who can stand here are nobles under the earl, including Viscount and Baron, and at least a knight. If these people are completely wiped out, I am afraid that one third of the family in the western part of the kingdom must change their owners. Those mages are also the head figures in the surrounding magic towers, with at least one lower-level magi title.
These people waited for a long time, and Count Carlos finally came out of the main building of the Earl's Court. He was followed by several people, including the family's magic advisor and best friend Master Banderas, his butler Pinto, Aryak city owner Trinidad, knight leader Battis, and his daughter Celinda and Li Jia, son-in-law. In addition, there is a tall warrior with a flag in his hand. After everyone, it is the mad warrior Byron who once fought Roger. The flag in Bai Long's hands embroidered neither heraldry nor text, but a portrait.
It was Prince Javier wearing a crown and looking serious. This embroidered statue was made by the Earl looking for someone to print according to Prince Javier's printed photos.
Li Jia looked up and greeted Prince Havel in the wind, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. His father-in-law is really fooling around, and since he can't bring real people into the army, he came up with such a funny alternative.
Not long after the Chinese and the Earl of Carlos reached an alliance, Li Jia came to Aryak with the Earl and Celinda. In addition to being the son-in-law of Earl of Carlos, the Chinese were also stationed in the Earl of Carlos. Liaison officer. Whenever Count Carlos had a new operation, he would use the communications circle in the city of Aryak to inform the committee in time so that the two parties could cooperate and coordinate with each other.
The war is really about to start.
He followed the count to the martial arts stadium, and saw so many soldiers ready to go, and he felt a bit of blood in his heart. However, he felt Celinda's pace hesitating as he stepped out of the main building gate. He hurriedly took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
auzw.com Celinda ’s face was a bit tangled, she shook her head and did n’t speak.
After all, Li Jia is a person around her, and immediately guessed her thoughts. He slowed down. The two opened the distance to those in front of him, and then he asked softly, "Are you still feeling deceived by your father? ? "
Celinda lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm a poor fool, this is how I feel during the recent period.
do you know? When I was very young, I felt that my father was a dude who didn't learn to do anything. The family's revitalization depended on me alone. Even if my talent is not high, I still practice martial arts diligently and learn magic, hoping to bring the family back to where it should be one day.
But now? Everything I did proved to be in vain. He had prepared everything long ago, and he did better than me in everything.
The most hateful thing is that he has been hiding me like this for so many years, and even hiding my poor mother, she has been sick and died, thinking that my father abandoned her.
Sadly, all of my mother ’s waiting has turned into a covert trick, and my preparations for the revitalization of the family are now a clown show. This feeling ... as if everything around is fake, it's too bad. "
"I think your father is to protect you." Li Jia looked at the thin figure of Count Carlos. "If I have a daughter and the family is in such a dangerous situation, I will also want her to stay away from these disputes as much as possible. The enemy has hurt us. We should not hate others for not protecting us, but hate the enemies that cause harm, right? "
"But I am also a warrior, and I can fight for the family. Or at least, he can tell me the truth, so that he and I will not have such a decade, you know how painful it is to hate your father. Is that all right? "Celinda said.
"I ... know, not only know, but also know very well." Li Jia looked at Celinda and said, "Maybe not as profound as you, but I definitely experience such feelings, but all those are past. Things are gone, I do n’t have to worry about these things now. "
"Li Jia, do you also remember the previous things ..., I don't even know these." Celinda felt his emotions and held his hand tightly.
Li Jia showed a relieved smile and said, "It's okay, I will tell you later when I have a chance. Okay, the oath ceremony is about to begin, we are ready to go up. Today is your father's glorious day, and you A long-awaited day, isn't it? "
They followed the front team to the high platform. Count Carlos walked to the forefront of the platform. He smiled confidently and waved a fist to the people below. The crowd below burst into warm applause and loud shouts.
