"...Moreover, the four ladies who came back with Knight Rummard are pregnant again..." Genorio reported again. Although this is a private matter of Knight Rummard, Genorio still Can't help but talk too much.
Fatty Shi and Lorist had the same stunned expressions this time, the news was too shocking...
At this moment, Lorist's heart felt as if ten thousand pigs were galloping. This guy, Lummed, must be the reincarnation of a boar. While complaining in his heart with black lines all over his face, he raised his head and asked Genorio expressionlessly: "I remember that before Knight Renmod was sent by his family to Morente City, he already had seventeen children. Bar… "
Genorio had an envious expression on his face: "Yes, Your Highness, at that time the seven wives of Knight Lumurd gave birth to seventeen children in total for him, and all of them lived well and none of them died. Knight Lumurd therefore He has become a legendary figure in the family territory and is known as the father of a hero. Everyone is very envious of the seven wives of the Knights of Lumurd who can be used to raising them. Now the eldest son of the Knights of Lumurd, Barak, is seventeen years old. Studying... ”
"They're all **** fierce wives, what's there to envy." Fatty Shi muttered unhappily on the side. He has two sons and one daughter, and the number of his wives' personal births is not inferior to the wife of the Knight of Rummard, but the overall number is blown out. Moreover, his elder son was spoiled by his young wife and became a typical aristocratic young master. He liked writing and didn't like martial arts, and was lazy. He had three concubines at the age of twenty. Poor Fatty Shi was suppressed to death by his wife and the great sword master grandfather Yue, and he never dared to ask for a concubine.
On the contrary, because Fatty Shi's second son and youngest daughter were born similarly, only a year and a half apart, his Wenqing wife focused on the youngest daughter, and adopted a free-range approach to the second son. As a result, the second son was brought up by the great swordsman's grandfather Injerek to become a lawless bully. He beat his elder brother who was six years older to him when he was only twelve years old, and he woke up at the age of fourteen. Feeling angry, Yingjielek shouted for successors, and was ready to hand over everything he had learned all his life to this precious great-grandson of genius.
Although Fatty Shi has been busy with family affairs and has no time to take care of his children's education, he scoffs at the plans of his grandfather-in-law, a great sword master. Let you educate, and then educate a little turtle? As a first-level great swordsman, he has been staying at home and refused to serve the family. The great swordsmen Reddy and Hughes have both been promoted to the second-level great swordsman. The sword master didn't move much after that. Just like the last time the business alliance sent a great swordsman to the north to assassinate Lorist, Injerik was wounded and left the field as soon as he met him, and then hid at home and refused to show up, pretending to be recovering from his injuries...
So Fatty Shi was tough at home for a rare time, and transferred his second son to Nico Academy to study, and made an appointment with Lorist, when his second son graduated from Nico Academy at the age of sixteen, he would come there. Lorist's side will be a servant, and if Lorist likes him, he will be accepted as a disciple. The eldest son in the family is useless in this life, so let him spend his life in debauchery.
Perhaps the glory of the Shredder family lies in this second son. As for what his great swordsman grandfather thinks, Fatty Shi just ignores him. If there is a possibility that he will go with Lorist, the disciple of the sword master of the country, who doesn't know? Injelek meeting Lorist is like a mouse meeting a cat, and it is considered a long-term skill to be able to complete the sentence.
That's why Fatty Shi is somewhat envious of Knight Rummard. What he envies is not the birth of his wives, but the number, seven wives! If he also has seven wives, then the Shredder family will also be very lively, not to mention twenty or thirty children, there will always be more than ten, and it's not like I can't afford it...
"Seventeen plus five plus four in the womb, it seems that our Knight Rummerd will soon become the father of twenty-six children, which shows that Knight Rummerd spent a lot of time in the Jacano Kingdom. Not bad, so he still has the energy to make the four wives who follow him pregnant..." Lorist laughed.
Back then, as the family's intelligence chief in Morente City, Knight Rummard was forcibly conscripted to the battlefield because he offended a noble from the Chamber of Commerce in the Commercial Alliance. In the war between the armed forces of the Commercial Alliance and the Allied Forces of the Central South Kingdom, he accidentally rescued the eldest prince of the Jacano Kingdom who was seriously injured and became a prisoner of war, and was taken away when the eldest prince's subordinates attacked the camp. After hearing the news, his four wives went to find the Knight of Rummerd and finally reunited. This deed is so epic that it can even be compiled into a classic love opera "Looking for a Husband".
As a result, Knight Rummard became a traitor declared by the business alliance. If he was caught, he would be beheaded for half an hour, and he would not even be given time to defend himself. At the same time, the territory of the business alliance was so large that it blocked the way for the Knights of Rummard to return to the family territory. In desperation, Knight Lumude could only take his four wives to stay in the Kingdom of Jacano and continue to practice medicine for a living.
It wasn't until the Norton family armed forces broke the business alliance, messed up the situation in the central and southern parts of the mainland, and finally turned into the current situation. The intelligence personnel sent by Tagle arrived in the Kingdom of Jacano and found Knight Rummard, telling him that he is now safe. Now that he had returned to the family territory, Knight Lummard took his four pregnant wives and five children born in the past six years on his journey back to the Northland, and finally returned to the family territory smoothly.
"Your Highness, don't forget that Knight Rummard still has three wives who stay in the family territory. After being separated for such a long time, with the temper of his three wives, he must demand equal treatment. So it is impossible for Knight Rummard to be only twenty-six The father of two children, I believe his three wives who stayed in the family territory will also get pregnant soon, and they will get pregnant twice in a row in the next few years..." Fatty Shi said jokingly beside him.
"Your Highness, I sympathize with Knight Rummard. It is not easy to support such a large family..." Genorio expressed his concern for the life of Knight Rummard's family.
"That's right. Back then, the knights of Rummard only had a small silver coin as pocket money, and they were busy all day treating people, so that they could barely maintain a decent standard of living. Among the knights of the family He is the most embarrassing, after all, he has seven wives who need to be treated equally, and he has to buy seven copies of birthday presents, and no one can let him down..." Fatty Shi also felt the same.
"I remember that the knighted Knight of Lommard was also canonized as a baron this time, did you choose a good fief for him?" Lorist asked Fatty Shi.
"Yes," Fatty Shi nodded, "This time, the Barony of the Knights of Rummerd is located in an area of 150 square meters around the Hindelsen Mountain Range in Dremke Province. This territory includes a forest, a A small lake, a ready-made castle, and a small silver mine. According to our family’s regulations on the mining of mineral resources in the territory, this small silver mine is mined by the family’s mining department, and the Knights of Lummard can get 30% of it every year. The income, nearly 2,000 Jinford, plus other income from the territory, can earn more than 3,000 Jinford a year, which is enough for their family to maintain a decent noble life."
Lorist tapped on the table with his fingers, thought for a while, picked up a quill pen and wrote a few lines on a piece of white paper, then handed the paper to Genorio: "Genorio, you Take this withdrawal slip to the butler of Bowery to get 10,000 gold fords, which I paid out of my own pocket. Later, I will trouble you, Shredder, to take Genorio to the house of the Knight of Rummerd, and hand over the 10,000 gold fords to He, tell him this is my personal reward to him as the lord.
Sorry, Shredder, for taking your time again. I believe that Knight Rummard will be eager to love his family, and will not come to see me, the lord, at the first time. So I can only trouble you to make such a trip. The 10,000 Goldford will allow the Knights of the Rummards to dress up in splendor to participate in the New Year's celebration, and it will also allow him to have a little more money to tidy up his barony, without having to go around to raise funds, and at the same time, it can also please him. seven wives. "
"Hehe..." Fatty Shi laughed: "You should bleed, my lord. You are the one who caused Knight Renmud's misfortune. You made him marry seven wives and let him live in dire straits. Among them, let him become the object of our sympathy. I believe that Knight Rummard will be very grateful for the reward you gave him. He should not have saved much money in the Jacano Kingdom in the past six years. He just has more Nine children…”
"Haha," Lorist also laughed heartily: "It deserves it, who made this guy lose control of his lower body, and actually opened a harem in the women's camp, now he should know the consequences of being a stud. Also, you too Don't make him so pitiful, maybe he himself enjoys it. Otherwise, how could there be such a series of babies? By the way, he will be given a holiday this year, and in April next year, let him report to Director Kedan I think he is quite qualified as a senior police inspector with his ability, and the patrol system of the family territory still lacks some management personnel."
This is to find a golden job for Knight Rummerd. The senior police inspector is already a high-level position in the patrol system of the family territory, and is responsible for the patrol affairs of a region. For example, there were seven towns in Fengle, and each town has a patrol team. In addition to being responsible for the order and criminal cases of their respective towns, they are also responsible for managing the town's health, transportation and other affairs, and at the same time assisting the various departments of the family. Law enforcement work, and also take turns to patrol the villages under the town. The senior police inspector is responsible for the management of the patrol affairs in the seven towns of Fengleyuan.
If Knight Rummard became a senior police inspector, his salary plus welfare subsidies and rewards should be close to more than 300 goldfords that year, which is many times higher than his income from treating diseases for people in the streets. And since he was back on family land, the hazard perk of a hundred goldfords a year as a special investigator for the Volibear Intelligence and Investigation Service was gone. When he was exiled to the Jacano Kingdom, the three wives and seventeen children he left in the North lived comfortably on this subsidy and salary, as well as the benefits of the family knights.
Most importantly, becoming a senior police inspector meant that the Knights of Renmud were not idle nobles, but served as errands in the family, which meant that his future and title still had room for advancement. Instead of living off a barony...
"Your Highness, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and high respect to you on behalf of the Knights of Runmod and the veteran students of Dawn Academy!" Fatty Shi bowed solemnly to Lorist. At that time, it was Fatty Shi who had a dispute with the professor of pharmacy at Chenxi College and was suppressed. Lunmod followed Lorist to the north and became one of the thirty-six students. Excluding the seven students who transferred to His Royal Highness halfway and one student who died on the way north, the remaining 28 students have become the backbone of the Norton family's armed forces. Among them, only Knight Rummard is the worst. The only thing he can show off is that he has seven wives and seventeen children, oh, now it is twenty-six.
After Fatty Shi and Genorio left, Lorist sat alone in the study, depressed. This person is really incomparable with other people. You said how could this guy, Lummard, aim so accurately and kill one after another. He has seven wives, and this is a decision he made for him, but he also has seven wives, concubines and lovers, but he doesn't have as many children as Lummard's wife. Think about Princess Sylvia and Fenna Daisy who want to become mothers, and how hard I have worked on them to finally fulfill their wishes. And this guy Rummard seems to be able to make his seven wives pregnant...
The return of Knight Rummerd became a legend on the family estate, especially as he brought home five more children and four pregnant wives. As a result, some family knights and civil officials who were struggling with children kept hosting banquets for the Knights of Rummard, and asked round the bush whether the Knights of Rummard had special methods and potions for giving birth, and they did not hesitate to ask for high prices. In the end, all these stories reached the ears of Princess Sylvia and the four concubines. Princess Sylvia even forced Lorist to ask Knight Rummard himself if there was really that special method. and potions...
Depressed and depressed, life went on as usual. As soon as October passed, Lorist took the whole family to Cherry Blossom Ridge Manor. Beihai City couldn't stay any longer, the cold wind blowing from the sea could make people feel the bone-chilling cold, it was almost as if winter had come a month earlier. Because Princess Sylvia didn't like to go back to the city of Angry Bear, which was like a large construction site, Lorist chose the Cherry Blossom Ridge Manor with empathy. Excellent.
It wasn't until mid-December that Lorist brought his family back to the lord's mansion in Raging Bear City, preparing to host the upcoming New Year's celebration. At this time, the Raging Bear City was decorated with lights and festoons, and the crowds were surging. Neither the gloomy sky nor the snowflakes flying all over the sky can stop the celebration and enthusiasm of the residents of the city. In addition to the white snow piled up on both sides of the road to form a variety of snow sculptures, various open-air theater performances and cultural activities were held in the city, and cheers and singing were heard from time to time. .
This is the New Year's celebration held by Lorist, the Grand Duke of the Northland and the Sword Saint of the Town, who led the Norton family's armed expedition to the Mana Hill Plain for three years and returned triumphantly. What's more, there will be a large-scale conferring and promotion ceremony, so the scale of the New Year's celebration held this time is also larger than before. The momentum is unprecedented, and the whole city is filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The two who were promoted to Earl this time were Director Speer and Director Kedan, and the ones who were promoted to Viscount were the first batch of 16 Golden Knights and Reddy from the family headed by Fatty Shi, Hughes Great Swordsman, and Camorra Twenty-six people including the Baron, Governor Hickerd, Baron Christon, Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Papa Barek, who is in charge of the family's industrial and mining system, Master Siroba, who is in charge of architecture, and Tager, the director of the Volibear Intelligence and Investigation Bureau.
Among the forty-six people who were newly promoted to the Baron of the Territory, the one worth noting is Serikamp. He became a Baron of the Territory from a personal servant of Lorist, which shows that the Norton family promotes talents regardless of their origin. eclectic. The second one is Schwader, who was conferred the title of Baron of the Territory to the surprise of others, because he already had the title of Viscount conferred by the Duke of Filim, although this It was obtained by the marriage of a female, but along with this title came a particularly generous dowry, the Viscounty of Baldridge Mountain in the Southern Province.
This is an unforgettable New Year's celebration, and the large-scale knighting ceremony brought bursts of cheers, which heralds the flourishing development and strength of the Norton family, as well as a bright future.
