Chapter 658
Fort Storm...Grenville?
The black hair wizard's complexion moved slightly, and two extremely key words immediately merged into his mind, squinting his eyes and looked towards Ayton Grenwell in front of him.
Because of Charles Glenwell, Loren is no stranger to the Glenwell family of Fort Storm;
This is a different aspect from Scarlet Blood Castle. The upper and lower families—compared to Torino, their territory is closer to the south; the prosperous trade and warm climate make Fort Storm more like a garden-like city than Red Blood Fort;
warm climate This makes Fort Storm an important granary in the south, and their dairy products and various fresh fruits are also very popular; "Nightingale" wine is even more famous with "Red Blood", and even better at a certain level;
At least the black hair wizard has heard Charlotte complain more than once that the red blood wine is too spicy and only suitable for accompaniment; the taste is far less sweet and delicate than the "Nightingale", and the fragrance is richer.
The only regret may be that Fort Storm is less famous for its bravery, and the number of Knights in the territory is the lowest among the thirteen lords... However, Fort Storm’s casting craftsmanship is very superb, and even possesses extremely A rare dwarf craftsman; every year, Byrne and even the imperial nobles send thousands of orders.
Strong financial resources give the Glenwell family of Fort Storm a great right to speak in the south; especially the Lord Knight who owns minerals in many territories, their land is relatively barren, only Relying on the output of Fortress of Storms can feed his own people.
Because of this, Charlotte mentioned the count of Fort Stormy that night, how she justified her from the lord of the southern lord-there is no Grenwell family nodded, Their gold and silver mines are just a pile of stones, and thousands of them cannot compare to a piece of bread.
"Ayton Glenwell, it’s an honor to meet you."
The voice of Stormcaster count interrupted the black hair wizard’s contemplation and dragged him back to reality. The gentle expression makes people feel like spring breeze: "Such abrupt meeting for the first time, I hope you won't make you think that we are a group of vulgar people in Storm Castle."
The index finger and ring finger have a thick cocoon.
This is a right hand that can only hold a sword and can open a bow, and it is very good at it-the black hair wizard judged it like this.
"You are too self-effacing, Lord Count." The corners of his mouth were raised formulaically, and Loren let go of his right hand calmly: "I am very impressed with your younger brother... Byrne should be no one else."
"My younger brother?" Ayton was shocked, then suddenly realized: "Oh...you are talking about Charles, right?"
"My younger brother?" p>
Huh?
Loren eyebrows raised, the expression is also very inexplicable: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm very sorry." With a wry smile, Storm Castle count apologized. Waved his hand: "It's just because of Charles, you may not know much about the Glenwell family."
"Because of some unspeakable concealment, my younger brother and I were very young when we were very young. It's breaking; if the Torinos weren't willing to take him in, this guy might have left Byrne somewhere else-so if he heard that you put me alongside him, Charles would never be happy about it. "
After finishing speaking, Ayton shook his head helplessly, and bowed his head with a long sigh.
The black hair wizard with a weird expression twitched the corners of his mouth and looked towards Lu Sien beside him; as expected... the gray pupil coldly snorted who was aware of it, tilted his head and avoided Loren's gaze in embarrassment. .
This is really... Brothers in the world are still the same.
"I heard that at the meeting, you were the only one who took the initiative to stand up and support the Scarlet Blood Castle count." Realizing that the atmosphere was a bit too embarrassing, the black hair wizard quickly changed the topic:
"We have to say that this is very unexpected; because all the southern lords except you, without exception, chose to declare war on the empire."
" Of course, to do so is to bring about one's own destruction-the lords of the north have been dealing with the empire all the time, and they are somewhat self-aware; the knights of the south are a group of arrogant fanatics, only remembering the heroic figure of the black duke, but Forget the giant dragon's roar."
The gentle Ayton said very calmly, without concealing his contempt for his family, with an expression of as it should be by rights: "The most important thing is Torino. Connected to the bloodline of the Glenwell family, of course I have to help my relatives."
Family?
Loren frowned slightly, why did he never hear Charlotte talk about it?
"Well, how..." Aiton looked towards black hair wizard with a deep gaze, and asked like tentatively: "Your grandfather Leonardo Torino... never told you this. Things?"
Of course he didn't say that, I am not his biological grandson, just a picked up waiter.
Even though he thought so in his heart, Loren would certainly not say such things...just frowned slightly without saying a word, and lowered his head with a bleak expression.
"Uh! Sorry!" Aiton suddenly woke up: "Really...I definitely didn't mention these on purpose, it's just..."
"It's okay." black hair The wizard "reluctantly" squeezed out a smile, and waved his hand at Stormcastle count, who looked a little panicked: "You still go on, Glenwell and the Torino family bloodline are connected?"
"Yes, That's it." Ayton nodded: "Or the Glenwell family is just one of Torino bloodline."
"One of them?" Loren noticed the word.
"Because the thirteen Lord Knight families of Byrne go back upwards, all of them are blood relatives of the Torino family, but the relationship is different." Aiton nodded, slightly smiled:
"Excluding the Torino family, seven of the remaining twelve families can be traced back to important side branches of the Torino family, and there are even a few heirs from the Torino family."
"Ancient The history of the Kingdom of Byrne is, in a sense, the family history of the Torino family."
"so that's how it is." The black hair wizard suddenly looked thoughtful: "So the Torino family became the Knight of Byrne Wang..."
"This is as it should be by rights." Aiton turned his gaze to his side, looking at the portrait hanging on the wall with interest: "It wasn't that Byrne created it. King Knight, but the Torino family, who is the King of Knight, created Byrne; the round table council is not the election of the king, but a tool for the Knight Royal General to unite the entire kingdom."
"The so-called'ten The three noble Knights stood side by side and elected the noblest as the king'...hehe, but it is a far-fetched imagination of our descendants; from the very beginning, the King Knight can only be Torino, and Torino is the King Knight."
"The king is the king...it was never'chosen'."
"But the past is the past, and the present is now. It's different." Loren inserted: " Only the Knight recognized by the most Knight Lords can become the new Duke of Byrne."
"Or...Only the strongest Knight who can defeat everyone can become the Duke of Byrne."
p>
Ayton turned his head and looked towards black hair wizard meaningfully: "Among the thirteen territories, the Scarlet Blood Castle is the strongest."
"Although the thirteen lords are nominally equal in power , The status is equal, but everyone knows that this is just a one-sided word; why is Charlotte being attacked by everyone? It is because the Scarlet Blood Castle is the strongest and the most threatening, it will be attacked by all the people." Ai Sighed:
"Byrne has thirteen counts, but the area of Light Scarlet Blood Fort occupies one-fifth of the entire Byrne, and it is still the most elite core territory. At least three or four counts are required. United can compete with it; everyone is worried that the Torino family will fall to the sky The palace, betrayed Byrne for the title of Duke, this is the source of the problem! "
Loren did not speak.
Obviously, the Stormcastle count in front of you is not just a polite and gentle count.
If the other party is true Is willing to support Charlotte because of his kinship, so the help to Charlotte will be huge... But if this is the case, why would he be kicked out again?
In a second, Loren knew the answer:
"Tell me, Lord Loren Torino, do you really think that Charlotte should be made the Duke of Byrne? "
