Chapter 508: Marquis of Weskers
Of course, the panda didn't really come here to grab the meal, but now it's just not far from lunch.
So after being busy for a while, Prett took him out of the workshop and went to the old town.
The old town of Treira, also known as the "upper town", is the residence of the great nobles. The residents here are either earls or higher nobles with large fiefs, or court nobles with a long history and the trust of the royal family.
The so-called "court nobles" are actually "royal nobles" - Eric and the others in the traveler, their race is "royal nobles".
This race is not strictly a human subspecies, but a special group formed by long-term special ecology and education. They have a good education, but because they have studied civil service since childhood, their bodies are relatively weak. It is particularly worth mentioning that many of them have received anti-drug training since childhood and have excellent resistance to toxins.
Pratt's father-in-law, the Marquis of Wesskes, whose real name is Alexander Wesskes, is a military talent among the royal capital's nobles. His ancestor was only a court earl. When he was young, he defended his majesty the king who had just succeeded to the throne when he was facing assassins. Afterwards, he became a marquis because of this credit. But although the title has been improved, there is still no fief, but the annual salary has been greatly increased.
Stress was injured in that battle, which affected his fertility. It was not until many years later, when he was middle-aged, that he regained his fertility with the help of the elf drug, got married and gave birth to a daughter. It's a pity that his wife died shortly after giving birth to his daughter, and since then he has been keeping himself clean and never provoked or infected a single woman.
Now over fifty years old, he is also the head of the heavy infantry corps and the heavy cavalry corps in the capital of Terrera, and can be said to be the mainstay of the royal capital's aristocracy. However, unlike the general aristocrats in the capital, his character is quite close to the people, and he has a good relationship with soldiers and commoners. It can also be described as "getting together with the masses" - so in the eyes of many old-fashioned aristocrats, he is a bit of a Not self-respect, loss of identity, interpersonal relationships are not very good.
When Panda and Prett came to the Marquis of Weskers' mansion, he had not yet returned home.
"Master is a very hard-working person." The bald butler said with a moved face, "He is always working overtime for decades. Some people say that he is the most diligent person in the whole city of Trela!"
Panda nodded - there are not many people who are so diligent in the nobles, most nobles, their level of diligence is probably "I insist on going to work every day, sometimes when I get busy, I even work overtime until two o'clock in the afternoon, as industrious as I am. There are very few nobles.” That’s all.
Butlers and servants were very welcome to Prett's visit. Judging from their attitude towards Prett, it was obvious that they had regarded him as the future master. From this, it can be judged that the marriage is very stable. As long as you don't seek out poisonous milk for power, and don't say stupid words such as "how can you lose by flying dragon riding your face", you shouldn't have to worry about it.
"Where's Jenny?" Pratt asked. "Why didn't you see her today?"
Jenny is the name of Miss Marquis Weskers. Hearing Pratt's question, the butler smiled and said, "Miss recently learned a very special dish and is busy in the kitchen."
Prett nodded, smiled and said to the panda, "You are so lucky! You can taste Jenny's craftsmanship as soon as you come here."
Panda also smiled: "Then I can look forward to it."
"Don't worry, although it's not as good as the three, it's definitely beyond the level of ordinary people."
"I'm even more looking forward to hearing what you said."
After a while, the Marquis of Weskers returned.
The nobleman of the royal capital, who had turned from middle age to old age, was wearing thick full-body armor, and he looked very stable and reliable at first glance. After returning home, he did not rush to take off his armor, but greeted Prett and Panda first.
"Welcome Pret, I'm sorry for making you wait for me again today." He turned to look at the panda, "What should this friend be called? Would you like to introduce me?"
"Nice to meet you, Marquis of Weskers. My name is Panda, and I'm a wandering warrior." Panda introduced himself without waiting for Prett to speak, "I have been friends with him for more than ten years. I heard that He was getting married soon, and thinking it would be good to have an extra helper, came over - hopefully it won't affect your wedding plans."
The Marquis of Weskers has taken off his helmet, revealing red beard and red eyes, looking like a strong Celtic man. He has a short beard that has been carefully trimmed, and does not look rough and savage - if you must find a suitable image for him in the impression, Panda thinks that maybe King Arthur is suitable.
He was not talking about the King Arthur of "Saber my wife" that some people in the guild often said, but the King Arthur of Celtic legend. Celtic red beard and hair, eyes full of confidence and courage, a beard that has been carefully repaired without any savage feeling, and the heavy and well-fitting armor... these make this Marquis full of convincing temperament , I believe that even if King Arthur really came out of the Celtic legend, it would not be very different from him.
The Marquis of Weskers is obviously well-informed. Hearing the panda introduce himself like this, and seeing his panda face with white hair and black eyes, he immediately guessed his identity and raised his eyebrows that were shaped like blades. , showing a proper smile: "Let me guess... Bearman, his name is Panda, and he looks like this... Are you the famous 'Dragon Slayer' Mr. Panda?"
"I don't dare to call myself 'sir' in front of you. I'm brother and sister to Pratt. You are his elder, which is my elder. Just call me Panda."
The Marquis of Weskers smiled, and this time his smile was more cordial than before: "I used to worry that Prett was withdrawn and would not make friends, and the rivers and lakes were sinister, and he might suffer in the future. Now, it seems that my worry is unnecessary. His own strength is not bad, and with your good brother to help, in the future only he will make others suffer, and it will not be his turn to make him suffer."
He smiled and patted Prett's shoulder: "In this way, I can rest assured!"
"Don't look very old, okay!" said Prett with a smile, "the whole city of Trera knows that you are the most diligent among all the nobles. If you are considered old, then the other Don't the nobles have to prepare for the funeral?"
"Haha, who told them not to work harder!"
Having said that, the maids have removed their armors for the three and put on plain clothes.
And when they came to the dinner table, Panda finally met Pratt's fiancee, Jenny Weskers.
