Chapter 10 Baron Brian

"No, it might be the one with the best reputation." Weilin, who knew the trick, shook his head and said to Baird.

"Lord, why is this?"

Baird shook off the blood from the knight's sword, put it in the scabbard, and asked doubtfully.

"There are many clues in this, which I won't be able to explain to you for a while. Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and when encountering any difficulties, we can just use the long sword in our hands to chop it into pieces."

Seeing that Weilin was unwilling to elaborate, Baird stopped asking and returned to the convoy, reorganizing the team and preparing to set off.

Weilin looked at the corpse of the robber in the corpse wilderness, his eyes were deep and he kept thinking.

In the next few days of travel, Weilin did not encounter any more bandits. Perhaps these hyenas learned that the convoy was powerful and did not want to suffer losses for no reason, so they chose to give up.

After crossing the wilderness, they finally arrived at their second destination - Baron Brian's territory, Ridge Ridge.

Baron Brian learned of their tracks before Verin set foot in the Ridge Territory.

As Brian, who has just started his business for six years, his career is on the rise and he is very sensitive to the surrounding environment.

After all, a team of more than two hundred people is very conspicuous at the border of the Gray Mang Wilderness.

Weilin, who was walking in front of the team, looked at the dust rising in the distance, condensed fighting spirit in his eyes, and found that a large group of people were approaching them, and immediately ordered Baird and the others to prepare for battle.

"That's Cousin Weilin ahead of us." A rough voice came, causing him to let go of his vigilance and drive his horse forward to meet him.

The visitor was seen wearing loose clothes, with a knight's sword hanging from his waist, surrounded by several knights and more than thirty knights' attendants.

"Cousin, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I miss you so much. You've been doing so well lately." Verin drove his horse forward and looked at Brian's face, which was the same as when he left Windsor Castle six years ago.

"Welcome, Verin." Brian dismounted, opened his arms, and hugged Verin fiercely, showing great enthusiasm.

"Cousin, I need to chat for a few days, I hope you don't dislike it."

"If it's there, Alik happens to be a guest in my castle. We can have a good communication then."

Verin was overjoyed when he heard that the third person he was visiting was in Brian's castle: "Orlando, fetch the second wooden box from the second carriage."

Orlando, who was standing behind Verin and holding the horse, came to the second carriage and came to the two men with a heavy box in his arms.

Weilin stepped forward and opened the wooden box, revealing the full-body armor of the Excellent-level knight inside.

Baron Brian's eyes almost popped out when he looked at the gleaming armor.

"Cousin, how about this meeting gift?"

"Whatever this is, I will be disrespectful." Baron Brian stepped forward and caressed this set of excellent knight's full-body armor, just like he was caressing his own woman.

Hearing his contradictory words, he is still the same familiar person, not much has changed.

Perhaps in front of outsiders, Baron Brian felt that he had lost his composure. He coughed a few times to cover up the awkward atmosphere. Then he asked someone to carry the box away and said: "Verin, let's go, I will take you to my castle. I’m going to throw a nice banquet for you tonight.”

"Haha, cousin Brian, I'm looking forward to it."

Baron Brian led the way, leading Verin and his party to his castle.

After a journey of more than ten kilometers, the group came to a small but practical war fortress.

The walls of the castle are covered with barbs to prevent creatures from climbing into the castle.

In addition, there are more crossbows and ballistae on the city wall than you can imagine. In the open space not far from the castle, there are thousands of young men performing simple thrusts under the training of a few knights.

Judging from their clothes, they should be civilians from Ridge Collar.

Baron Brian followed Verin's gaze and explained with a smile: "Verin, the border area is not peaceful. These are preparations to deal with monster attacks."

"Cousin, you have made a lot of achievements in the past six years."

"That's natural. It doesn't matter who I am. I am Brian, a man destined to become the sixth Earl of the Aix family."

After hearing Verin's affirmation, Brian was very showy and said loudly.

Suddenly, Brian seemed to remember something and asked without hesitation: "Weilin, didn't you say you wanted to stay in the Eagle Territory when you were a kid? Why did you escape and become a pioneer knight?"

"It's a long story, so if you don't say it, just think it suddenly dawned on me."

"That's right. As a man from the Akers family, you must become a pioneer knight and fight for your own territory. Only then can you be worthy of your ancestors..."

"Alright, cousin, we'll talk about this later. First, take me in to visit your castle. I can't wait to get to know your fortress." Welin hurriedly interrupted Brian and changed the subject, fearing that he would not be able to do so in the future. Talk about a few hours here.

Entering the hall, I saw an elegant-looking man hiding in a chair drinking tea quietly.

"Verin, this is Alik, so... um..." Baron Brian rubbed the back of his head, unable to remember how to address Verin.

Weilin, who had done his homework, rolled his eyes at Brian, stepped forward to hug the strange man, and said kindly: "Cousin Alik, it's nice to meet you."

"I'm glad to see you too, my brother." Alik was suddenly hugged and was stunned for a moment, then he realized and faced Verin with the same attitude.

Baron Brian on the side smiled awkwardly. He had never been able to figure out the various relationships in the family and often misidentified his relatives.

"Sir, the arrangements for the banquet are complete, please move to the living room." A gray-bearded butler came to the hall and reported to Brian respectfully.

"Weilin, Alik, the dinner is ready. Let's go to the banquet first and chat while eating. By the way, Weilin will talk about what happened to the family in the past thirty years."

Baron Brian greeted the two of them and headed to his living room.

During the dinner, Weilin and Alik had a great conversation. The topics covered various aspects, including the kingdom's politics, geography, neighboring countries and other topics. It can be said that they talked about everything.

Brian was very happy to see the two people who had a harmonious relationship.

He was happy from the bottom of his heart that his cousin and his brother got along so well.

But what he didn't know was that although Weilin and Alik talked about everything, they were both wary of each other, and they were very superficial.

As time passed and the dinner ended, Verin dragged his exhausted body to the room arranged by Brian.

Lying on the bed, Verin closed his eyes and recalled the conversation at the dinner. Combined with the information he received from Baron Alcott, he thought about the Graymoor Wasteland as the best initial direction.

He had only one request, to ensure safety first and talk about other things later.

Both Brian and Alik unanimously recommended that Verin go to the northwest direction of the Ashmoon Wasteland to explore, which was contrary to the direction recommended by Baron Alcott.

Due to the information obtained by Destiny Guidance, the direction recommended by Baron Olcott was not advisable, so the only direction left was the northwest direction of the Gray Mansions Wasteland.

From this point of view, doesn’t this mean that there is no choice?

If he doesn't consider the risk, the southwest direction of Gray Mango Wasteland is a good choice.

"No matter, safety first, just choose the northwest direction. With the guidance of fate, when I become stronger, the entire Gray Light Wasteland will be mine. Do I still need to choose then?"

Having made up his mind, Verin began to fall asleep.
