Chapter 12: Huffman Estate

When the figures of the three Marin appeared on the avenue in front of the Huffman Manor, the sharp-eyed serfs ran in to inform the Huffman family.
"Master, Madam, Master Marin is back!"
"What, Marin is back?" Old Huffman stood up with a happy first in his eyes, but quickly sank.
As for the old Huffman's wife, Mary Huffman, she is full of joy:
"Just come back, just come back! I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss him so much!"
"What do you want him to do? This waste thing, let him sign up for the emperor's army, and now he is back, obviously not selected, too incompetent!" Old Huffman was angry.
"You old thing, my son will be fine when he comes back in peace. Why did he have to give his life to the emperor? Besides, Marin is only 16 years old and his body hasn't grown up yet. I will say at least 18 years old before you say Get rid of him ahead of time! "Madame Mary suddenly reluctantly, sent a spike. The old Huffman seemed a little scared, but said nothing. In fact, Flins Huffman is a very stubborn person. However, he ran Marin out of the house two years in advance. So, in the face of Mrs. Mary's soaring, he had to be silent.
父亲 "Father, I heard Marin is back?" Frings' eldest son, Adler, dashed into the manor's living room and asked. He just came out of the training ground in the backyard. He heard that his brother was back and hurried to the living room.
嗯 "Well, come back, at the gate."
"Let's meet him then?"
"Why do you greet him? I am his old man, how can I have the truth to greet my son? Go to you!" Old Huffman stared directly.
"Okay ..." Adler didn't argue with his stubborn dad and went directly to the door of the manor.
Mrs. Mary, who missed her son, also went out with him ...
When he came to the door of the manor, Marin first instructed the old Quincy who was guarding the door of the manor to bring his warhorse and two cows to the manor's barn:
嗨 "Hi, Uncle Quincy, please take these two guys and tie these three animals to the barn."
"Yes, Master Marin, I'll do it!" After that, Old Quincy took Kahn and Kohler to the barn to tie the animals.
Marin just turned his head, and saw a human-shaped monster as high as 1.99 meters rushing towards himself ...
Marin was shocked and conditionedly wanted to pull the knife. But he suddenly remembered that it seemed that his saber had just been put on the ox cart. Because he got home, he didn't plan to carry weapons with him. In a hurry, he had to use a trick "Foshan No Shadow Feet" to rush to the dark shadow ...
"Ah-" Marin knew that he had made a mistake when Heiying made a painful cry.
Because, this voice was from Marin's cheap brother Adler ...
"Marin, I welcome you kindly, you kicked me, and I was so annoyed!" Adler, who was knocked to the ground, got up and shouted at Marin. He was also totally unprepared. He used to open his arms to embrace his younger brother, but was kicked without any precaution, and was directly knocked to the ground ...
"Uh ... Adler, I didn't mean it. I just turned around and saw a dark shadow rushing at me, thinking that someone was attacking me, so ... this is my instinct reaction ..." He could He didn't tell Adler that if he had a saber on his body, Marin would havetily cut Adler ...
At this moment, a kind female voice that made Marin extremely familiar came from behind Adler:
"Marin, my dear son, are you back?"
Marin trembled all over his body. The voice of his predecessor, Marin, was too deep. In the memory of his predecessor, Marin Huffman was crying and ran to his mother for comfort when he was violently abused by the old Huffman. At the same time, he is seeking asylum so as not to be stung by the old and severe Huffman ...
Then, what seemed to be an instinctual reaction of the body, Marin fell into Madam Mary's arms:
"Mom, I'm back! Are you okay!" Involuntarily, it seemed to be this physical instinctive response, and Marin was particularly close to Mrs. Mary.
"Good boy, mother is all right, just miss you!"
As the mother and the child performed the touching scene where the mother and the child met, Mr. Adler, the magnificent, muttered:
"Mom is eccentric. She loves Marin the most and never held me a few times!" In fact, Mary's sons from Huffman's family really love Marin the most. Of course, this is also because Xiao Ma Lin loves coquetry. Isn't there a saying, "Children who can cry have milk" ... Keke, it should be said that children who can coquettish their mothers more ...
Then, Marin took Mrs. Mary's arm and lovingly returned to the main house of Huffman's Manor. Adler followed Marin slightly jealously.
In fact, Adler is only 19 years old, and he is just a big boy. It's just that the goods are too big and reach a height of 1.9m, which is much higher than the old Huffman. It seems that Adler is a majestic strong man, but in fact, Marin knows that Adler is still a big boy and not quite mature. Of course, when it comes to fighting, the average strong man is definitely not his opponent. Marin estimates that neither can beat Adler by himself. Although, both have practiced martial arts.
After entering the hall, Marin saw an old Huffman with a bad look. Out of the fear of the old Huffman in memory, Marin obediently gave a gift to the old Huffman.
"I'm home?"
"Yes, my father!"
"Failed to enlist in the emperor's army?"
呃 "Uh ... no, I arrived in Vienna, but the emperor has no intention of recruiting soldiers at this time."
怎么 "How come? Didn't the emperor recruit ten thousand people before?"
"It was precisely because of the huge army of more than 16,000 people recruited before that that the emperor's finances were very tight, and he could not afford more troops for the time being. Therefore, I did not see the emperor recruiting people in Vienna.
"That's it ..." The old Huffman's face improved a little.
"By the way, isn't it time to fight in Italy? With the character of the emperor, it should be harmonious. If the emperor is in Italy and France, he should recruit more talents." Aside, Mrs. Mary made a sudden noise.
Marin was taken aback, but remembered that his aging mother seemed to be the descendant of the noble aristocracy and was more knowledgeable. At least, he is smarter than his old-fashioned dad who only knows how to solve problems with muscles.
"Yes, mother, the emperor will inevitably participate in the war in Italy. However, the emperor is short of money. He is now asking the princes and city representatives for money in the Imperial Parliament. But, you know, those vassals and city representatives Who would like to pay so simply? I estimate that this will take several months. The emperor will have money before he can recruit new recruits. I plan to try again in Vienna in a few months. "
哦 "Oh? Little Marin, do you even know this?" Madame Mary was surprised. She watched her second son grow up. Although Marin is much smarter than a guy who only knows to talk with muscles, he is not so insightful ...
"Uh ..." Marin began to think about how to answer this question.
He was a bit forgotten, his cheap dad is a less intelligent muscle man, but his cheap mom, but an authentic lady of noble origin, is clever. If it wasn't for the cheap mother's family that was betrayed by the annihilation, then this silly cheap father happened to save the cheap mother who had fled, and they performed a "blood hero" to save the beauty. The two of them did not have It is possible to come together.
便宜 According to the cheap mother, she is the granddaughter of Tom Bullock, the original count of East Frisian Land, and the only surviving descendant. Tom Brock became the ruler (count) of East Frisian after unifying the 12 Frisian tribes of East Frisian. However, in 1435, he was betrayed by his trusted general, Focko Ukena, killed by the rebels, and the whole family suffered. However, his second son, Fred, escaped, and later, his wife gave birth to Mary.
Later, Ulrich of the Seksner family replaced Focko Ukena and became the new ruler of East Friesland. However, neither Focko Ukena nor the Sykesna family has acknowledged Mary's intention to be the only bloodline of the Brock family. They even secretly hunted down the young Mary and his father, Fred. Because if it is acknowledged that there are still people living in the Bullock family, their dominance will be unjust.
The old Huffman was on the way to escorting a baron of the Mark Country to the north halfway and rescued Mary Bullock who was being hunted down. Poor Fred Bullock was killed by the assassin to cover his daughter. Since then, the helpless Mary simply married the old Huffman, a life-saving benefactor.
Speaking of which, according to Germanic rules, the Huffman family actually had the qualification to inherit the East Frisian Land. But the Middle Ages also talked about strength. The Huffman family is nothing more than a poor knight family, but now the Sexner family, which occupies more than 3,000 square kilometers in East Friesland, is unknown how many times its strength.
Also, because Mrs. Mary's mother was just the daughter of an ordinary businessman who Fred had married during her flight (when she gave birth to Mary and died in labor). The Sycksner family believes that Mary is a descendant of your noble marriage and does not have the qualification to inherit the East Frisian Land. Based on this principle, many aristocrats who had been close to the Brock family did not recognize Mary's status too much, only if they were illegitimate daughters of the Brock family. Of course, the more important reason is that Mary is now helpless and cannot have the power to retake East Frisian.
However, Mary Bullock was educated by her father's aristocracy since she was a child. She has a high level of education, a smarter head, and more insightful. For example, the Huffman family, although the old Huffman is the owner, but many decisions are made behind the scenes by Mrs. Mary. The original Marin could also see Mrs. Mary's "powerfulness", seeking asylum as soon as she was beaten, making the old Huffman unable to continue ...
Since it is difficult to fool my mother, Marin thought about it, and thought of an excuse--
"That's it, mother, when I just left the family, I once encountered a dervish who traveled the world ..."
"Ah ... ascetic monk ..." Ascetic monks are rare in missionaries. In the Middle Ages, most of the European priests fell into the ruling and oppressing classes and began to oppress the common people. UU reads www.uukanshu. com himself enjoys it.
But in this case, there are still some truly devout priests who can endure poverty and live on the alms of ordinary Christians and the hospitality of monasteries. Some are like monks from the Orientalization. These people are extremely fanatical about religion and have a strong will, which is highly respected by ordinary people. Moreover, many of these people traveled the world and were very knowledgeable.
"Yes, an learned ascetic. I think he is poor, so I gave him all 10 gold coins!"
"You're a prodigal son!" Some old Huffmans who were a little nasty were agitated.
"What then?" Mrs. Mary was interested.
"This ascetic monk feels that‘ there is no way to go, ’so he decides to impart a lot of knowledge to me in exchange!

"Teach knowledge? Good luck!" Madam Mary, a descendant of the noble, knew the importance of knowledge.
"Well, this ascetic monk has traveled the world and has traveled to the far east ..."
啊 "Ah ... the huge Eastern Empire?" Exclaimed Madam Mary. In the Middle Ages, with the publication of The Travels of Marco Polo, Europeans longed for the place in the East that is said to be full of gold.
"Yes, he told me a lot of information from around the world, and also taught me a lot of knowledge ..."
Then, Marin turned on the "Big Flicker" mode of the Benshan brand, and began to tell everyone in the Huffman family, including younger brothers and sisters who had just returned from a frenzy, about the adventure of "pure fiction" and the real world Geography and history ... That's as exciting as Mr. Shan Tianfang's storytelling ...
