…
Lorist was stunned. What did Alisa say just now? That beggar is looking for a young master called Norton Lorist, it should be Norton Lorist, isn't that the original name of my body? It's just that everyone keeps calling me by my nickname Locke, and they don't remember that my original name was Norton Lorist, the second young master of the Norton family from the Northland.
"What's the matter, I thought I heard Alyssa say your name just now?" El asked seeing Lorist standing there. He knew Loris because he had helped Lorist with the deed and tax certificate. What was Te's real name
Lorist came back to his senses and found that Alisa was bouncing towards the backyard. He stood up: "The beggar that Alisa mentioned just now is looking for a man called Norton Lolit, who is from the Northland. He seems to be looking for me. I'll go and see if it's someone sent by the family. "
"Oh?" El got excited, biting the chicken leg and stood up: "I'll go and have a look with you."
When they came to the backyard, they saw the beggar that Alisa mentioned, sitting in ragged clothes on a bluestone board in the backyard, drinking oatmeal. On the linen square, it looks like it's ready to take away.
Alisa asked the beggar strangely while gnawing on the chicken leg in her hand: "Why don't you eat chicken leg? How can you drink porridge without vegetables? Chicken leg is really delicious."
The beggar nodded at Alisa, and replied with a smile: "Beautiful little princess, thank you for giving me delicious chicken legs, but I still have a companion, and good things need to be shared with my companion..."
Then the beggar saw Lorist, he was stunned, put down the bowl and rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and finally confirmed that the Lorist who appeared in front of him was not a phantom.
"Second young master, woo, young master, I finally found you, woo woo woo..." The beggar rushed over, scrambling, ignoring even the bowl of oatmeal being knocked over, and hugged Loris tightly. Te's legs wept majesticly.
"Uh..." Lorist wanted to pull back his leg, but found that he was hugged too tightly: "Well, you get up first, you are..."
"Master, you don't know me anymore? I'm Sid Kemp!" The beggar raised a face full of tears and snot.
"Sodcamp?" Lorist tried hard to recall, and the memory hidden deep in his heart appeared in front of his eyes. The silly young servant who always had a simple and honest expression followed behind Little Locke and called, "Master, wait for me." ...Little Locke dictated, wanting this or not that, this young servant was instructed to go around...
No wonder he recognized me right away, it turned out to be the servant who had been with Little Locke since he was a child.
"It's you, Sedkamp. Long time no see. It's been ten years. Get up first, don't just cry." Lorist said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, when Lorist said this, Se Kemp cried even harder: "Young master, go home quickly, the old master is gone, the eldest young master is gone, the third young master is gone, you are the only one left in the Norton family One, everyone is waiting, waiting for you to go back and inherit the territory... woo woo woo... "
Lorist's figure flickered. Although he came here through time, the blood relationship between this body and the Norton family cannot be separated. The throbbing from the depths of his soul made Lorist tremble.
El hastily stepped forward, supported Lorist, and said to Sedkamp: "Don't cry, speak slowly and clearly, what's going on?"
"Last year, the master pursued the bandits of the mountain barbarians who invaded the territory, but was ambushed and seriously injured. He was bedridden until the beginning of this year. He couldn't hold on until the beginning of this year. He instructed us to find the second young master to go back and inherit the territory. He passed away. We just I know that the second young master went to Morente City ten years ago, but I don’t know which college the second young master is studying in. Moreover, it has been ten years, and I don’t know if the second young master is still here, so I had to come here to try my luck. Finally arrived in Morente City , Academies asked in the past and said they didn’t know the man named Norton Lorist, and they ignored us when they heard that we were from the Northland. Pat said that the heroes who heard the stories before got their news from the tavern, so I I just asked the taverns one by one. God is sorry, I finally found the young master." Thinking of the hardships of the journey to find the young master, Sed Camp couldn't stop crying.
Lorist finally stopped: "Sedkamp, let me ask you, how did my eldest brother and third brother disappear? Who is the Pat you mentioned, and why is it so familiar? Also, doesn't my third uncle know about my Did you study in which college? What about others?"
"The young master died in battle three years ago. At that time, he was recruited by the Duke of Lukins to serve the second prince. When the news came, the old master was bedridden, and the third young master was responsible for the affairs of the territory. As a result, the third young master went to inspect the year before last. Territory ran into a monster mount and was frightened. The third young master fell from the horse and suffered severe head injuries. He was rescued for three days and he was still gone. The master became seriously ill, and he only recovered in the spring of last year. He was going to fight with an illness, but it turned out...Second young master, don’t you know Pat? He is the grandson of the boss Kress, the kid you played with all the time when you were young. He is amazing, and now he is a black iron swordsman. Because we know you and remember what you look like, that's why the boss sent us to find you."
Speaking of this, Sedkamp hesitated a bit: "Second young master, your third uncle, Lord Rodsick, passed away seven years ago. The family caravan was robbed by robbers in Puerto Org province. All members of the family caravan He died in battle. At that time, the news shocked the entire Northland. There have been rumors that the family caravan was robbed because the eldest prince sent people to pretend to be robbers in order to collect military expenses. That's why the young master disregarded the master's objection and joined the second prince's banner. "
It's really bad news. Lorist can't imagine that the Norton family, once hailed as the furious bears of the Northland by the royal family of the Christen Empire, will encounter so many misfortunes, and be reduced to the point where they need to call back their own family. The second young master, who had been exiled for ten years, went back to inherit the family territory. This is really unexpected and makes people feel a lot of emotion.
After regaining his composure, Lorist asked Soderkamp, "What about Pat? Where did he go?"
Sudkamp was a little embarrassed: "Pat, he, he was carrying bags in the dock area..."
"Carrying bags?"
"Well, we've run out of travel expenses, and Pat can earn a day's food by carrying the bag." Sedkamp murmured.
"Reddy!" Lorist shouted towards the tavern.
Soon Reddy appeared in front of him.
"Go for a drive, take this Sodkamp to the dock area to find his companions, then take him and his companions to the public bathroom to wash, change their clothes before bringing them back to see me." Lorist ordered At the same time, he took out two gold coins from the purse and gave them to Reddy.
"No, no, master, we have money, so we can't spend yours." Sedkamp hurriedly stopped, and then took out a black money bag from his body: "Master, I still have twenty imperial coins here." gold."
"Huh? Didn't you just say that you have no money?" Lorist was very surprised.
"Master, this is the travel expenses for you to go home. We can't use it. Now we can hand it over to the young master so that we don't have to worry about losing the money." Sedkamp stuffed the money bag into Lorist's hands, feeling relieved.
Lorist was a little moved, guarding twenty gold coins, he would rather carry one bag and beg for food. Should these family members be said to be stupid, or too stubborn, or loyal to their duties
So Lorist gave Reddy two more Kingfords: "Change their clothes better."
Reddy took Sodkamp and drove to Pat.
Lorist returned to the tavern and sat at the table feeling restless, opened the black money bag and poured it on the table, twenty golden coins appeared in front of his eyes, these gold coins were a circle smaller than Jinford, and on it was an old man wearing a crown avatar.
Fatty Shi became interested when he saw the gold coins, picked one up, looked at it, and curled his lips in disdain: "The old man's head of the former Krissen Empire is worthless, and only three coins can be exchanged for one Gold Ford. Now the three kingdoms in the north and the seven It’s become popular in the Principality to use our gold coins, and these old gold coins were reclaimed by those profiteers and recast into gold coins, and their earnings more than doubled after a while. Where did you old men come from?”
"The Locke brothers' family has come, and they want Locke to go back and inherit the territory. These old people are the travel expenses for Locke." El said.
"What? Locke, you want to go back to be the lord?" Suddenly, the companions were shocked and gathered around.
"What's the fuss, I haven't decided whether to go back or not." Lorist frowned, looking distressed. Now he is a celebrity in Morente City. He has lived here for ten years, and he has long regarded himself as a Morente person. Suddenly the family sent a message asking him to go back and inherit the territory, which was too unexpected. Although it was his hometown, it was a completely unfamiliar place to Lorist.
"Why are you hesitating? Of course you are going back to inherit the territory. You can only be a college teacher in Morente City, but when you return to your hometown, you are a respected field lord. In your territory, You are the Lord of the people, and you have the final say on everything.” The one who said this was Terman, who originally came from Zhigor, an area rich in hedge knights, chasing war and full of adventurous spirit It is the nature of Zhigor people.
"But Locke is doing very well here now, and he has bought a building. And he is also a double gold professor of our college. He is famous. What do you do when you go back? The Northland is a wasteland, with a vast land and few people. Look at the geography books and maps. You know, it’s a wilderness, and you can’t be comfortable in Morente City.” Steve retorted that he is a local and has always been proud of being a Morente man.
"Perhaps Locke can go back and inherit the territory first before returning. In the future, he can let his subordinates handle the affairs of the territory, and he can stay in Morente City and live as usual." Yuri made a suggestion, thinking that this would be the best of both worlds.
Lorist smiled wryly. It was not as simple as Yuri imagined. The family territory was far away in the northern wilderness, thousands of miles away from Morente City, and it would take more than three months to ride a fast horse back and forth. This is not the nobles of the Kingdom Principality who are close to the Faliqiu Plain. They live in Morente City and can return to the territory in just a few days.
Fatty Shi asked, "Where are people from your family?"
"Reddy drove him to find his companions, and they split up to find me in Morente City," Lorist said.
"Looking for you? You are so famous that you need to look for it. Your family doesn't know that you are studying and teaching at Chenxi Academy, right?" Fatty Shi was very surprised.
"I used to say that I lost contact with my family for almost seven years. It turned out that my family caravan in Chenxi College encountered robbers, and everyone was gone. Even the third uncle who sent me here was killed in battle. Now the members of the family People only know that I am studying in Morente, but they don’t know which college I am in. Then there was another six years of war, and there was no news. Now that the family has changed again and again, that’s why they sent people to Morente City to look for me. The people who came didn’t know that I was Black Iron Locke. They went to each college and asked, and found that no one knew Norton Lorist. Then they went to each tavern to inquire, and they met Alyssa just now. You said I knew the family was looking for me." Lorist explained.
"It turns out that's the case, so it's no wonder I can't find you. Knowing that Black Iron Locke is everywhere in the city, and knowing your original name, the total number of people who know your original name is probably less than ten. What's your plan?" Fatty Shi was relieved.
"I don't know..." Lorist shook his head and said, "I'm in a mess right now, and I don't know how to make a decision. Let's talk about it after they come back and ask about the situation."
-----------------------Dividing line------------------------- - - -
When Reddy stood in front of Lorist with the newly dressed Sedkamp and Pat, Lorist was holding Alisa in his arms and watching the old Luke in the barbershop at the back door of the tavern give Schwader a haircut. Alisa asked Lorist Rist: "Uncle Locke, you said that the beggar came to you just now, is he from your family?"
Lorist nodded and said, "Yes, I have to thank Alyssa for giving him two chicken legs. Alyssa is such a good girl." "
Alisa frowned and thought for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "I know, it turns out that Uncle Locke's family is a beggar."
"Pfft..." El, who was sitting next to him, sprayed Fatty Shi on the opposite side all over his body with a sip of wine. He didn't bother to say sorry, holding his stomach and laughing out of breath: "Love, Alisa said, it's so good, It's funny, Locke's house, the family wants food, hahaha... "
Lorist didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Alisa, Uncle Locke's family is not a beggar. Look, he is in front of you now, how can he be a beggar?"
Sedkamp standing in front of him had an old face as red as a monkey's ass, wishing he could make a crack in the ground so he could get in. Pat next to him was wearing a brand new swordsman outfit, but he was very talented and heroic.
Lorist put Alisa down, stood up and walked in front of Pat, compared his height with his, and then sighed: "Pat, long time no see, you and I have grown up, no And those two bullfighting kids again."
Pat also took a long breath: "Yes, master, we have all grown up."
In my impression, the two children, Rock Jr. and Pat, have been rivals since they were young. When they meet, they either fight or wrestle. Every time one of them will leave crying, and then the next day they meet and continue to fight. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and both of them have grown up. Now that they meet again, there is a sense of intimacy.
Patting Pat on the shoulder, Lorist smiled and said, "Okay, good guy is taller than me now, I really don't know what he ate to grow so big. You have worked hard this journey, nothing else is needed Said, sit down and have a good meal first, I have already asked the kitchen to prepare. Madam, the dishes can be served."
Lorist yelled at Miss Louise twice, and then turned back to Old Luke and said, "Old Luke, it's Reddy after Schwader is done, so I'll give you two for a total of ten people." A big silver coin."
"Well, I promise to refresh them." Old Luke was very happy.
Lorist stopped the fidgeting Sodkamp and Pat, and said unquestionably: "This is my territory, you have to obey me when you come here, not to mention that I am still your young master, listen to my arrangements That’s enough. I’ll take you home after you’ve finished eating and drinking, and I’ll talk slowly when I get home if I have anything to say.”
