Chapter 171 An Accidental Discovery of an Ancient Magic Device
After getting some background information about Devonshire, Weilin couldn't see through this person.
Was he leaving his family out of guilt and spending the rest of his life in the border area of Cardero Province, or was he trying to accumulate strength for his niece, whom he had never met, and trying to overthrow the current ruler of the Delesier family through the power of the church?
Weilin planned to return to the Lake of Praying Stars and discuss these things in detail with Baird and others before making a decision.
He was still unwilling to give up on this talent.
If things were not as complicated as he thought, and the other party really came here just to escape from the world, then some means could be used to dig the other party out of the church.
With the Celtic couple, the road back to the Lake of Praying Stars was very slow.
After the last spectator duel, the Lord of Praying Stars was well known by the nobles of the Province of Cardero.
Therefore, when passing by the surrounding noble territories, he was warmly entertained by the other party in the hope of leaving a good impression in Weilin's heart.
Compared with four years ago, this time on the way from the provincial capital to the Lake of Praying Stars, he was taken care of meticulously.
When passing by a barony of only 400 square kilometers, several young men in noble costumes stood in the middle of the road. When they saw Weilin appear, they stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, benefactor."
Weilin rode on a red phosphorus horse and looked at several noble young men. He had the impression that they were among the talents recommended to the 16th Knights.
However, he did not know the names of these people.
Seeing this, Kyle patted the purple horse's butt, came to Weilin, and whispered to his master the names of the three people.
"Cook, Gregory, Rachel, how are you doing after I left the Brazilian A camp?" Weilin pondered for a while and said to the three people who kept saluting.
"Thanks to the recommendation of the benefactor, the three of us were lucky enough to join the 16th Knights and become a grassroots officer." The blond boy standing in the middle was very grateful and raised his head to Weilin.
"Twenty people in the same group have passed the test and become members of the 16th Knights."
Wei Lin kept smiling and encouraged the three people: "You have lived up to my expectations of you."
"Lord, to express the gratitude of the Doslan family to you, the family asked the three of us to wait here, hoping to invite you to the castle as a guest." The young man on the left took this opportunity to speak with a very humble tone.
Wei Lin calculated the time in his mind, and there were still twelve days before the end of the standing army's winter training.
According to the current speed, it would take at most eight days from here to the Praying Star Lake, which would not take much time, so he nodded and agreed to their request.
The three people were delighted when they heard this, one of them stepped forward to lead the horse, and the other two led the way in front.
Entering this small barony, the first impression is stability.
The kingdom's taxes, the tribute of the upper nobles, and the basic expenses of the family's children's cultivation restrict the upward development of the small nobles.
In this environment, being able to manage their own territory so well can also be regarded as diligence.
On the way to the castle, Weilin also learned from the noble young man Cook who was leading the horse that although the Doslan family was established less than two hundred years ago, it has experienced seven generations of title inheritance, and the frequency of family title changes is unimaginable.
At first, the territory of the Doslan family was located in the central region of Pada Province, and it came to Cardero Province because of the replacement of territory.
Although it has only been here for a hundred years, the family is thriving, there are fewer great nobles than in other places, and the upper environment is much better than in Pada Province, which can be regarded as an opportunity.
Passing through the only town in Doslan Territory, the group arrived at a castle built with a mixture of wood and stone.
Weilin got off the red phosphorus horse and followed the servant to the hall.
"Sir Weilin, I am the current head of the Doslan family, Baron Colliver of Doslan Territory. I am very happy to invite you to be a guest." A middle-aged man greeted him enthusiastically, his tone full of humility, putting himself in a lower position.
A middle-aged lady on the side lifted her skirt and bowed to Verin with a sincere smile.
"It's my honor." Verin responded politely with a smile on his face.
"Please come in, Sir Verin." Culliver Doslan enthusiastically led the way in front and invited Verin to enter the hall.
The protagonist arrived and the banquet officially began.
The banquet was very simple, but Verin could feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Doslan family.
Verin raised his wine glass and talked to the middle-aged man Culliver Doslan very naturally, without any age difference.
"Cook, Gregory, Rachel, the three are talented people who have performed well under my command and work diligently. Although they have my recommendation, it is difficult for them to join the Knights without their own efforts."
"Sir, you are joking. For us, an opportunity is more important than anything else." Culliver said with a somewhat vicissitudes of life, speaking out his heart.
Verin was touched by his words, but only by some feelings, because he had not experienced these.
"Who are your superior nobles?" Weilin asked with some curiosity.
Colliver was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "The Freeland Family."
"This family!"
Weilin suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the Doslan Family. He didn't expect that the backer they found was actually this family.
The Freeland Family is a count family in the Pada Province in the central region. It is known for its decadence and old-fashionedness within the kingdom. It is a conservative noble family that advocates following the ancient system. It is hated by most count families and marquis families, and they don't have a good face for their vassal families.
In this world, changing one's family is a big deal. Unless the Freeland family is demoted or placed under house arrest in the capital, the Doslan family cannot change their family.
"Your family is strong enough to develop under such conditions." Weilin thought for a long time and uttered a sentence.
Colliver responded with a wry smile: "The ancestors chose the wrong backer, and only our descendants can bear it."
"I will write a letter to my aunt and ask her to appease the children of the Doslan family. I can't help with anything else." After pondering for a while, Weilin finally decided to help the other party.
"Thank you, sir." Colliver bowed and saluted.
Then, Colliver waved his hand to call the butler over and asked him to go to his study to get the antique.
Not long after, the butler came to the hall with a strange item and placed it solemnly in front of Weilin.
"Sir, this is an item I got by chance, but I am not experienced enough to understand the principle behind it. I hope you like it."
The arc-shaped appearance, delicate carvings, and occasional glimmers look like an ancient magic device.
"I like this gift very much."
In front of Colliver, Weilin directly put the ancient magic device into the space ring.
