The Gegaleh Family's residence was located in the center of Tereteli.
It was a high-class residential area, which was equivalent to the Royal Capital's noble district. However, there were not as many nobles in Tereteli as in the Royal Capital. Hence, there were not only nobles living here, but also some wealthy merchants.
Shien and the others rode on You Lin and flew all the way here. It was impossible for the Gegaleh Family to not notice them.
Hence, when You Lin descended from the sky and landed in the direction of the Gegaleh Family's residence, Krist was already waiting with a group of knights and servants.
"Welcome, Honorable Borztut. I didn't expect you to come looking for me."
Krist smiled at Shien and the others who jumped down from You Lin's back, but he kept cursing in his heart.
He had no choice. He wanted nothing more than for Shien to leave Tereteli as soon as possible so that peace could be restored. He also didn't want too many things to happen that he couldn't control. Who knew that the next day, Shien would come over on a dragon, which really made Krist tremble with fear.
After all, the scene of You Lin's dragon breath breaking through Tereteli's barrier was still vivid in his mind.
Krist didn't think that his house could be stronger than the barrier that protected the city.
Hence, he was a little afraid that he had unknowingly offended Shien and caused Shien to bring a dragon to seek revenge.
If that was the case, the entire Gegaleh Family would definitely be buried under the dragon breath.
Shien didn't think too much about it. He brought Ai Yi and La Xia, who was hugging the emerald, to Krist with his back facing You Lin who was flying in the air.
"I'm really sorry for coming uninvited."
Shien smiled embarrassedly at Krist.
"It's nothing. I can't be happier for you to visit." Krist hurriedly shook his head and forced a smile that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He then said, "Since you're here, why don't you go in and have a seat?"
"Go in?"
Shien glanced at the mansion behind Krist.
The mansion wasn't big, but compared to a normal viscount, it was quite large.
Presumably, this should be because Krist was not only a viscount, but also the manager of Tereteli and the leader of the Second Knight Regiment.
Of course, this mansion definitely couldn't be compared to Shien's house.
Shien thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Alright, then I'll bother you for a while."
No matter what, he was here to ask for help. Sean was too embarrassed to put on too much airs.
Krist waved his hand.
Terry waved his hand, and the knights and servants on both sides immediately separated neatly, making a path for Sean. Someone even quickly laid a red carpet on the path, which showed how much Terry valued Sean.
Sean was also a little moved by this set of things, but he did not hesitate. He brought the disinterested Ai Yi and the expressionless Si Xia to the house of Gigareth.
Feicui was still obediently held by La Xia. She was still looking around but didn't make a fuss. She was really a strange child.
As for You Lin, she saw Shien and the others enter Gegalis's house. The knights and servants on the ground looked at her nervously, as if they were afraid of her. She immediately curled her lips, flapped her dragon wings, and directly flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
When there was no place to stay, You Lin would directly disappear into the clouds like this and wait for Shien's summon. This was the result of Shien's teaching.
Just like this, Shien and the others entered Gegalis's house and came to a luxurious reception room.
This seemed to be a reception room specially used to entertain important guests. It was clean and tidy, but judging from the stuffy air, it should be rarely used.
Shien didn't know that this was usually the place Krist used to entertain distinguished guests whose status was higher than his.
Shien was also a viscount, but he was invited here. This could be considered as a precedent.
When everyone sat down, two maids dressed in luxurious clothes immediately served expensive hot tea.
However, the two maids were quietly sizing up the expressionless La Xia. They actually blushed, as if they had seen their sweetheart. This made Shien want to ridicule them.
(Even the maids you meet for the first time are like this?)
This is so f * cking magical.
Could it be that this La Xia has a unique skill that can instantly increase the favorability of all maids and servants to the maximum?
What skill is that? Is it the big sister halo? Or is it the perfect maid halo?
I'm drunk …
While Shien was ridiculing her, Krist also began to ask questions.
"May I know why Minister Borztute has come to visit?"
Come to think of it, Krist should be very concerned about this, right?
"Captain Krist, you don't have to be too nervous." Shien comforted the captain who seemed to be overly nervous. He rubbed his nose and said, "I just wanted to ask if you know this little girl."
As Shien spoke, La Xia held Emerald's hand and walked in front of Krist.
In fact, Krist had already noticed the little girl's existence and had been secretly paying attention to her.
Who asked Sean to not have this little girl by his side when he came yesterday? Why did he bring such a little girl with him when he came today?
Krist had been paying attention to Emerald because of this, but he didn't dare to look at her too openly. Only now did he look at her seriously.
At this moment, Krist realized that this little girl was a little unusual.
She was obviously so young, but not only was she not afraid of strangers, but she was also staring at him. She was really different from ordinary children.
What was even more different was her appearance.
Although this little girl was very cute and would be a beauty in the future, Krist was more concerned about her appearance.
"Blonde hair … Purple eyes …"
Krist murmured. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"What's wrong?" Shien saw this scene clearly and immediately asked, "Captain Krist, do you know where this child came from?"
That one sentence made Tereese speechless.
Krist's complexion constantly changed, and his gaze gradually became fearful as he looked at the jade. Only after a long while did he bitterly laugh.
"I'm sorry, Borztut. I might have to disappoint you." Krist said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know where she came from. I can only advise you to quickly release this child to avoid a disaster."
"Disaster?" Shien frowned and looked straight at Krist, "What do you mean?"
"This …" Krist hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This is related to a legend of the Stringham Dukedom. In short, just listen to me and don't care about anything else."
While saying this, Krist kept glancing in Emerald's direction, as if he was afraid of her existence.
Seeing this, Shien narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
At this moment, La Xia suddenly spoke.
"It seems that there are still some things that we haven't prepared. We will be leaving Tereteli soon. If you don't mind, can you allow me to leave midway and make some preparations?"
La Xia's sudden words startled everyone.
Only Sean once again sighed in his heart at the omnipotence of this maid, and immediately nodded.
"Let's go. Bring Jadeite with you."
Shien agreed to La Xia's action.
"Then, please excuse me."
La Xia made an impeccable bow to everyone, then left with Emerald.
"I'll go with you."
Ai Yi said faintly. Without waiting for anyone's agreement, she followed behind La Xia and Emerald, minding her own business and leaving.
This girl had been very bored since the beginning. She probably had no interest in the conversation between Shien and Krist, right?
(The women around me are really each more unique than the other.)
Shien didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Krist.
"Can you say it now? Captain Krist? "
Shien's tone was slightly more serious.
Krist understood that Shien was going to get to the bottom of it.
But Krist really didn't want to discuss this matter.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give Shien face, nor was it that he was timid, but this was indeed a taboo in the Stringham Dukedom.
The Stringham Family had even issued a ban, forbidding people from talking about this matter.
As the vassal of the Stringham Family, Krist was also the captain of the Second Knighthood, so he naturally didn't want to violate the ban.
But on Shien's side, Krist also couldn't afford to offend him.
Headache, it was really a headache.
Krist sighed.
"How about this, Borztut." Krist said, "There's an ancient book in my house, if you're interested, why don't you take a look at it?"
Terris chose to use this compromise.
He believed that after reading the book, Shien would know what he wanted to say.
And he didn't mention this matter personally, it could be considered as him taking care of the ancestral family.
Shien understood Krist's intention. Although he felt that it was troublesome, he could only nod in agreement.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Captain Krist."
Shien thanked him.
"You're welcome, it's just a small reminder."
Krist shook his head, as if he really didn't want to discuss this matter anymore.
Under such circumstances, the two of them started chatting, waiting for the servant that Krist called to get the book to return.
At this moment, the door of the living room was forcefully opened.
"Father!"
A young man walked in aggressively from the door.
"Taylor?"
Krist was shocked at first, then his face darkened.
"What's wrong?"
Shien didn't expect someone to barge in all of a sudden, his face was filled with doubt.
However, in the next second, Shien realized that the person Krist called Taylor was looking at him, his eyes were burning with stubbornness and unyielding.
"You are Shien Borztut?"
The young man called Taylor spoke in an unfriendly tone, pointing at Shien with an extremely unfriendly attitude, declaring loudly.
"I want to duel with you!"
His words made Shien raise his brows.
There was only one thought left in his mind.
"My goodness, I've finally encountered a lousy plot."
Duel?
He finally encountered it.
