Chapter 378 There Is Still One Great God Who Has Not Spoken Yet
At noon, after a simple breakfast, the three nobles left one after another, and Baron Harald finally did not give a word of explanation.
The only people left in the castle were the elderly and children, and almost all the young and middle-aged people had left. Those who left were not worth staying, and even if they wanted to come back, they needed sufficient reasons. This morning, only four people passed the review and stayed, all of whom were maids living in the town.
They were maids who left early and returned late, and did not stay in the castle. In this regard, Declan Castle was slightly different from other nobles, probably to save costs.
Whether others believed it or not, Will believed it anyway. You know, Lord Declan's taxes were very low, and the taxes on farmers were very low, and they could not even support two knights to practice.
But the things in the secret room made Will feel a little incredible. It turned out that every Lord Declan had made preparations for death when he took the throne. It turned out that every child of the Declan family who was driven out was the real lucky one.
After my father left the castle, his whereabouts were actually under the control of my uncle. Even the house and the coffee shop were bought by my uncle and then given to my father by someone else.
No matter how unbearable the Lordship of Declan was in the eyes of others, in Will's eyes, it was a family worthy of admiration. They had better knight training methods but did not dare to practice them, and could only practice the worst ones. They could become richer but did not dare to show it, and showed weakness everywhere. Even if they were scolded as cold-blooded, they would drive their loved ones out of the house, leaving only the eldest son to support the crumbling family alone, facing the situation that he might be killed at any time.
The letter in Yagolu's hand was not accidental. After Floret left and settled in Drake City, a similar letter also fell into the hands of Baron Ebola. After each generation of lords took the throne, similar things would be sent out. It was either in the hands of sensible disciples or in the hands of reliable friends. The biggest reason why Floret didn't know was that he might be impulsive after knowing the truth.
In the eyes of most people, almost every Lord Declan is stupid, greedy and heartless, but Will knows that almost every generation of Lord Declan can be called a master of casting, or a master of materials science, but their research direction is biased, and it is very outrageous.
And this bias is exactly what they are most helpless about, and it is also their greatest place!
Will pointed out the strange force, Fenette, and Gru, and went to the iron mine under the guidance of a guard spy. Just after walking out of the castle, a team of more than 30 people came straight in front of them. The young man in the lead was about 25 or 26 years old, but his appearance looked a bit like the Declan family.
Behind the young man was a senior warrior, carrying a long sword and looking sturdy, and most of the other people in the team also had the strength of a primary warrior, and their strength was also good, at least among the lords.
"Who is coming? What do you want to do in Declan Castle?" Will stopped the guard from asking and took the initiative to stand up.
The young man's eyes fell on Will, and his first reaction was the family emblem. He was very familiar with the family emblem of the Deklan family. Even if his family already had a new family emblem, how could he forget something that his grandfather often showed him.
"Dolange Deklan, Lord of Ironwood in Sis County, may I ask who you are, brother?" The young man stared at Will with a sharp gaze, and glanced at the people around him, with a slightly strange expression.
"Will Deklan, the official lord of Drake City, the nephew of the former Lord of Deklan, and the eldest son of the current lord." Will's identification eye was opened. The strength of this Dolange Deklan has reached the peak of the primary knight.
He may be promoted at any time. He is considered a good young talent. The senior warriors behind him are also senior types. Most of the accompanying team have experienced fighting on the battlefield. It can be seen that they really care about Lord Deklan.
"Oh, so you are Will's cousin. My grandfather is the second son of the fourth Lord Declan. When he was young, he went to the West County and later participated in the bloody battles on the orc battlefield. He became a lord and established the Ironwood family. I am the first heir to the succession of Lord Ironwood." Dolanger Declan also introduced his identity and named himself as the successor of Lord Ironwood.
Will took a closer look at Dolan Ge, and suddenly a not-too-thick book appeared in his hand. The book was a little old, but it was very well preserved. Will flipped through a dozen pages and found one of them. "Ham. Deklan, 72 years old, senior knight, former lord of Lord Tiemu of Sis County, lord of war merit. Dolan Ge. Deklan, 26 years old, junior knight, eldest son of Lord Tiemu of Sis County, and heir to the next lord, right?"
Dolan Ge. Deklan's face changed slightly, "What is this?"
"The exclusive item of the patriarch of the Deklan family, the family tree." Will smiled slightly, and the book disappeared in his hand: "It records the situation of the clan members who left the family one after another since the first patriarch. The family tree only records the birth date and key information of the clan members. Do you know how much gold coins are spent on collecting basic information of the clan members every year?"
"With this time and money, it is better to think about how to support those fellow clan members who were driven out of their homes and have nothing." Dolan Ge. Deklan curled his lips tirelessly.
Will looked at him deeply: "How do you know that the family did not provide financial assistance to those children who left? You don't really think that it was a coincidence that Second Grandpa Ham was able to get a high-level knight training method? And it was a high-level knight training method that was so compatible with the family training method. And that set of exquisite knight equipment was almost tailor-made. Do you know who made it? It was made by my great-grandfather himself, three years after he left."
"What are you thinking?" Dolange Deklan suddenly heard the news and felt bad. Before coming here, my grandfather told me that I had to investigate some things, including the armor, because he also vaguely felt something wrong later. The style and details of the armor were too familiar.
Will waved his hand slightly, and rode his warhorse to the side first. Luo, Gru, and Fenete stayed where they were. Dolange Deklan turned his horse and chased after him. The high-level warrior behind him hurriedly wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Luo.
"Girl, get out of the way. Uncle doesn't want to hurt you." The senior warrior saw such a girl blocking the warhorse and hurriedly pulled the reins.
"Brother, don't let me, can't, go over." Luo opened her arms, but the range of defense was too large. The senior warrior drove the horse back two steps, then rushed over from the side. Before he took two steps, he felt that the warhorse suddenly stopped. The senior warrior was not able to move and fell straight forward from the warhorse.
However, the senior warrior was a senior professional after all. He landed lightly on the ground with a somersault. When he turned around, he saw that the girl was holding the warhorse's tail with one hand and fixed it in place. The senior warrior widened his eyes. What kind of strength is this? Monster!
"Big guy, you are not Luo's opponent. Even if all of you come together, you can't beat Luo. She is a big warrior." Gru's voice was very loud, which was very dwarf. "Brother Weir has no ill intentions. This should be a secret within their family. It is not suitable for outsiders to hear."
"Big warrior?!" The corner of the senior warrior's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at the girl who was only about ten years old, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Luo is a blood awakener warrior, I am a dwarf senior warrior, this Fenette is the deputy commander of the guard of the Deklan family, a senior warrior, by the way, the Will brothers are also senior knights, and their strength is a little stronger than our three senior warriors." Gru's words completely shocked the group of visitors. Is the Deklan family really so awesome? But why did the patriarch get killed in the end?
Gru's words were also heard by Dolan Ge. Deklan, and his eyes on Will were suddenly different. This seemingly young cousin is so powerful?
Will smiled slightly, "Let me introduce myself again, Will. Deklan, the official lord of Drake City, the boxing instructor of the city defense army, the leader of the Drake City Scouts, the former director of the Drake City All-in-One, the current director of the Special Affairs Processing Office, the Goddess of the Night, and the senior knight of the blood awakener."
Dolan Ge. Deklan suddenly felt that his identity as a junior knight and the heir of the Lord of Ironwood was so lol, and he couldn't raise his head in front of his cousin.
This show of power almost frightened me to the point of falling off my horse.
Grandpa, you asked me to investigate the assassination and seek justice for the Deklan family. It seems that you think too highly of your grandson. There is still a great god here who has not spoken yet.
