Chapter 324

"Roar!"

At this moment, You Lin descended from the sky and hovered above Shien's head. She looked at the knights surrounding Shien and let out an angry roar.

"Squeak …!"

Someone in the encirclement seemed to have unwittingly let out such a shameful sound.

However, they could not be blamed.

There was a ferocious monster that could kill everyone in an instant hovering above their heads and letting out an angry roar. Who could stand it?

If not for the fact that they were all experienced warriors and the fact that they were second only to the First Knight Regiment that was stationed at the border of Stringham, they might have already started to flee.

As the saying goes, a dragon's aura was like a prison. You Lin had only released a little bit of her aura and it was enough to scare these knights who were around level 50 to death.

Just as Tris thought, a dragon like this could easily destroy a city, let alone an almost invincible king of monsters like You Lin.

Thus, Tris had no choice but to give the order.

"Put down your weapons!"

Tris's voice carried a tinge of unwillingness.

His opponent was just a young man in his early twenties with a child and a maid, yet he forced the second order of knights in the Stringham Dukedom to put down their weapons and compromise. It was a little humiliating.

At least, Tris had never suffered such humiliation.

However, he had no choice. Who asked him to have such a terrifying dragon as a mount?

This meant that the other party either had a huge faction behind them, which was why they were able to provide such a mount to the other party, or the other party was a Taming Master who had mastered the high-level [Taming] skill.

No matter which identity it was, Tris could not afford to offend him. Even the Stringham Family that he relied on might not be able to do so.

Moreover, the dragon was a real threat. If Tris did not know what was good for him, then there must be something wrong with his brain.

However …

(A taming master who could tame a real dragon?)

Tris had never heard of a taming master of this level before.

No, that's not right …

(There was a rumor recently that there was a noble in the capital who could tame a dragon?)

Tris suddenly thought of this matter.

Could it be …

"Are you Viscount Potter?"

After hesitating for a while, Tris chose to ask.

"Oh?" Shien smiled and said, "So you know me?"

Yes.

Of course I know him.

After all, according to the rumors, although this noble was only a viscount, he was very powerful. It seemed that he had the support of a powerful being from the Demon Realm, and even the royal family favored him.

Furthermore, it was said that even the Kingdom's most valuable treasure, whom countless people yearned for, had a good relationship with him in private.

Krist still remembered that when they heard this news, many descendants of noble families wailed in disbelief and spoke contemptuously, which caused quite a stir in the territory at one point.

Even his own son had pestered him for a period of time, asking him to collect information in this regard to see if it was true. That was why Teris had some impression of Sean.

Now, Tris finally understood why he felt that the name Sean was very familiar.

It turned out that he was the rumored Viscount?

"Sorry for my rudeness." Tris thought quickly, but on the surface, he said politely, "So you are a noble from the same kingdom. I thought it was a marquis from the neighboring territory who came to invade again. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

"Not at all." Shien smiled and said, "I am the one. I actually let my mount cause such a big commotion and gave everyone a big fright. I am really ashamed."

"It's nothing, nothing at all."

"Yes, there is."

Shien and Tris were humble to each other, which made them feel like nobles interacting with each other.

In any case, Ai Yi looked at them with disdain.

"Hasn't this guy always hated this kind of thing?"

In the past, who was the one who said that he hated the hypocrisy of the nobles?

Aren't you living the way you hate the most now? tui！

Despite Ai Yi's disdain, Hua Xia remained calm and indifferent. She just stood quietly at the side without saying a word. She seemed to be a follower of Ai Yi.

Under such circumstances, Shien and Tris had enough of being polite and courteous, and they finally got to the main topic.

"I wonder why Borztute is here in Tereteli? If you need any help, please let me know! "

Tris expressed his opinion.

Shien did not stand on ceremony and finally returned to his original attitude.

"I am here because Her Highness asked me to find out more about the Old Demons Faction that appeared in Duke Stringham's territory."

Shien used his wife's name without hesitation to stand on his side.

"Asked by Her Highness?"

Tris immediately squinted his eyes.

It seemed that this viscount really had a good personal relationship with the princess, just like the rumors said.

Tris had never heard of anyone who had been entrusted by His Highness to come to such a faraway place to do something.

If that foppish son of his family knew about this, he would probably go crazy with jealousy, right?

Ever since he went to the Royal Capital and met Her Highness, his son had completely lost his soul. He had been clamoring to go to the Royal Capital countless times and even said that he wanted to break away from the Stringham Family and let his family settle in the Royal Capital. His motive was obvious.

Tris did not object to it.

Because he knew how unrealistic it was.

Was it that easy to enter the Royal Capital?

Not to mention nobles, even ordinary commoners who wanted to live and work in the capital would need a good introduction and a lot of wealth. Although the Gyarkare family was a viscount, since ancient times, who knew how many nobles had tried to squeeze into the circle of nobles in the capital but failed. How could it be easy to move into the capital?

Because of this, there was a difference between the nobles in the Royal Capital and the nobles outside the Royal Capital.

Even if they had the same status and rights, the former had much better connections, wealth, and connections than the latter. It was completely feasible to regard them as the upper class of the nobles.

In this world, there were viscounts with great wealth and there were viscounts who were on the verge of bankruptcy and penniless.

So, if his son could really enter the Royal Capital, he would be overjoyed. How could he object?

Poor him. He thought that by entering the Royal Capital, he could get closer to Her Highness. Little did he know that the hope was still slim.

There were countless great nobles who had developed in the Royal Capital for hundreds of years, but even they could not get the favor of Her Highness. What more a viscount who had just entered the Royal Capital?

Not to mention that they had not even entered the Royal Capital yet!

So, if it was not for the fear of breaking his son's dream and making him lose motivation, Tris would have shaken him to wake him up and tell him not to think too much.

And this man in front of him was a viscount like him. Not only did he make a name for himself recently, but he also had a personal relationship with Her Highness. If his son knew about this, how could he not go crazy?

(It's better to get him to leave quickly.)

Tris made up his mind and opened his mouth.

"I have also heard about the appearance of the Old Demons Faction in our territory." Tris said: "I heard that after they appeared in our territory, strange things started to happen everywhere in the territory. Your arrival is a new force that came at the right time for our Sterling Dukedom."

Hearing this, Shien did not care about the flattery in Tris's words and only focused on the main point.

"Strange things?" Shien looked at Tris and asked: "What strange things?"

"This … I don't know much about it either." Tris said awkwardly: "After all, Tereteli is located at the border of Sterling Dukedom. It is considered to be the city at the edge of the border. News from the Dukedom would usually reach here at the latest and we have never had those strange things in the rumors. So, I'm not sure what these strange things are."

"Alright." Shien did not expect to get anything from Tris. He nodded and said straightforwardly: "If that's the case, if I want to know more about this matter, where should I go?"

This question made Tris frown, and he thought hard for a while.

Then, Tris thought of something.

"I heard that the Old Demons first appeared in Kosmos Kingdom. That's where the strange incidents in the rumors first happened. Duke Stringham even sent an army there, and they're still dealing with this matter. Perhaps Minister Borztut will be able to get something from there."

Tris provided such a clue.

"Kosmos?" Shien's eyes lit up. After thinking for a while, he said: "I remember that it is a border city near the Ragnar Empire, right?"

"Yes." Tris said honestly: "I heard that even the people of the Empire are taking action because of this matter. There are rumors that the Ragnar Empire is secretly causing trouble in the territory. If you want to go there, you have to go all the way to the north and cross the entire Dukedom."

Well, I have to fly for a long time again.

Realizing this, the light in Shien's eyes dimmed somewhat.

But I have to go this time.

If that's the case …

"Then thank you for your guidance, Minister Gigareth."

Sean thanked the leader for the time being.

"Are you going to go there now, Minister Borztut?"

Tris also tentatively asked.

Shien directly shook his head.

"I and the people around me are tired after flying all the way from the capital. Let's rest here for a night."

That was Shien's plan.

"Then shall I help you arrange a place to stay?"

Tris was quite enthusiastic.

"No, it's fine. We will take care of it ourselves."

Shien held the hands of the two beautiful girls and rejected Tris's suggestion.

"Alright then."

Tris could only nod to express his regret.

Only then did Shien hold Ai Yi and La Xia's hands and left.

The knights hurriedly separated, allowing Shien to pass through the encirclement.

"Roar!"

You Lin let out a roar. While scaring everyone present, she left with Shien.

Seeing the figure leaving with the dragon, the enthusiasm on Tris's face finally disappeared.

"Inform the citizens that the dragon is a noble's mount. There is no need to be afraid, but they should take care of themselves and not cause any trouble."

Tris ordered the knights at the side.

"Yes!"

The knights received the order and hurriedly left to carry it out.

Tris glanced at the direction Shien left in and looked at the dragon that followed closely behind. His heart was indescribably envious.

If he could have a dragon as a mount, Her Royal Highness, and the powerful beings of the Demon Realm as his backing, then he could also be so arrogant, right?

Different people really have different fates.

No, different viscounts have different fates.
