Chapter 410 Childhood Friend Aston

After explaining the government affairs, Weilin took Kyle and several other followers with him, and left the Qingxing Territory in light clothing.

Through the teleportation array of Cardro Province, Weilin arrived at the provincial capital of Xihe Province.

It has been more than ten years since the last time I went to Xihe Province, and this ancient city still has not changed much.

On Central Street, a group of patrolling guards passes by every ten minutes.

Nine out of ten nobles who passed by Verin were discussing the grand occasion of the wedding of Earl Eagle's eldest son.

There is still a month left before his eldest brother's wedding. It's still a long time, and Weilin is planning to visit Xihe Province for half a month.

Although I have been to the provincial capital of Xihe Province more than twenty times, I have never properly visited this pearl of the central region.

With a land area of ​​950,000 square kilometers, Xihe Province is the largest province in the Kingdom of Ilia. With this as the center, it radiates to the surrounding areas, attracting most of the surrounding nobles to come here to purchase properties and manors as a place for tourism and leisure. land.

Since the fall of the Hax family, the West River Province is still dominated by the five giants.

Five years ago, during the war between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, the current Earl of Harkes took this opportunity to actively exchange territory with the Milion family, move the entire family, and leave the West River Province.

Six months ago, the seven newly promoted earl families passed the "Territory Exchange Act" and used their existing territories and money to obtain from the royal family the territories that the original Hax family had deprived of.

The seven newly promoted earls and the Millian family formed an alliance with each other for their own interests, forming the Eight Counts of the West River Covenant, in the hope of cooperating with the old aristocratic forces of the Acesis family, the Aix family, the Jocasta family and the Asweil family. Confront each other and pursue the political demands of their respective families in Xihe Province.

Wandering around the aristocratic district of Xihe Province, Verin quickly learned about these major events from the mouths of these aristocratic young people.

"Weilin, it's you."

"Aston, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Verin opened his arms and stepped forward to hug his old friend.

The blond aristocratic young man did the same and gave his old friend a hug.

"I haven't seen you for twenty-four years. I heard that you have become the Speaker of the Provincial Council of Cardero. It's really amazing!" Aston praised with a smile on his face.

"It's not worth mentioning. You also know how weak the Cardero Province is. There is not a single count in the entire province."

"This is my wife Tenia, from the House of Themisis."

"Ms. Tenia, nice to meet you." Verin looked at the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him and responded with a smile.

"Sir Verin, I have often heard my dear Aston mention you. I am honored to meet you for the first time." The silver-haired girl bowed slightly to express her respect.

"How about we go sit next to it?" Weilin pointed at the luxuriously decorated tea shop next to him and invited him.

"Right on my mind."

Afterwards, several people entered a separate room in the tea shop.

Verin sat on the soft sofa, and Mr. and Mrs. Aston sat opposite Verin.

As for Kyle, they and Aston's guards were sitting on the other side, waiting quietly.

Not long after, a young maid came into the room with pastries and tea, and placed them gently on the tea table. Just as she was about to pour the tea, Tania stood up and motioned the maid to go out, take over the work, and serve Weilin. Pour tea with your husband.

"I heard that you were sent to the Kingdom's army by your father. How is your situation now?"

"He's doing well. Now he's serving in the Thirteenth Army Corps as a staff officer, responsible for military discipline inspection." Aston's expression was very natural, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

"It's not bad. Considering the situation within your family, it's better to be independent on your own, so as not to fall into your uncle's conspiracy." Weilin recalled some things from his childhood with some emotion.

Aston's full name is Aston Aswell. He is the thirteenth grandson of the contemporary Earl of Aswell. His father, Fabian Aswell, is his father's friend and once sent Aston to Windsor Castle. After three years of foster care, he was one of Weilin's few playmates when he was young.

"My personality is not suitable for fighting for anything. After my child is born next year, I will propose to my grandfather to give up the inheritance rights and become a branch of the Asweir family, so that my uncles and brothers will not worry about my life."

"We have a baby." Weilin glanced at Taniya's belly with some suspicion, which was slightly bulging, but he didn't notice it just now.

"In six months, my child will be born." Aston's expression was very gentle without the anger he expected.

"Aston, you have indeed changed a lot and grown up."

"Weilin, you advised me many times when I was a child that anger will swallow up a person's reason. I didn't quite understand it at the time, but I gradually learned a lot when I grew up." Aston's tone was full of memories, holding his wife's hand tightly. Hands, feel unprecedented tranquility.

"Do you know what's going on with the so-called Eight Earls Alliance of Xihe?" Weilin picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked Aston.

"How should I put it, some strength, but not much." Aston replied, shaking his head.

When Weilin heard this, he became interested and said, "Tell me in detail."

"Together with the eight Earls of Xihe, the soul level is not yet clear, but it does not exceed twenty. As for the gold level, there are quite a few, and the approximate number is between two hundred and fifty to three hundred. It is the same as your family's hurricane The number of gold-level professionals possessed by the Hurricane Legion controlled by the Earl is about the same."

"You are right, there is some strength, but not much." Weilin shook his head and instantly lost interest in the so-called Alliance of Eight Earls of Xihe.

Afterwards, the two chatted about their childhood.

Tania covered her mouth with both hands when she heard about the silly things her husband did when he was a child and the troubles he got into.

As for Verin, he smiled heartlessly and very loudly.

If it were before, Aston would have been furious and would have dragged Verin to the training ground for a duel.

But after experiencing some things, when I heard these things that happened when I was a child again, there was no anger in my heart, but only nostalgia.

"When you grow up, you can't go back."

"We can't go back." Weilin said with emotion from the bottom of his heart. "Although we both have long lifespans, the time we spend seeing each other in the future may not be as much as the time we spent together when we were children."

"Weilin, this is a necessary stage for growth." Aston looked at Weilin and advised seriously, "Also, get married as soon as possible, otherwise no one will inherit the inheritance you have built."

"understood."

Afterwards, Verin and Aston parted ways in front of the tea shop, ending the three-hour reminiscence.
