Chapter 22 Who is more noble?
The Frey family is located in the center of White River City. As the ruler of White River City, the Frey family occupies a considerable area.
Clyde led a group of his men in front, followed by Andrew and Howard, and Jin Hu led Janice and Ling'er at the end. The group marched towards the city center in a mighty procession. Pedestrians passing by on the roadside gave way one after another, fearing that they would be noticed.
Even a child can see that this group of people is not easy to deal with.
Walking in front, Clyde was still confused. Until now, he still couldn't believe that Andrew had the strength to subdue a high-level monster. He himself had been a level 7 warrior for nearly ten years, but it was almost a dead end for him to challenge a high-level monster. The strength of a monster was usually higher than that of a warrior of the same level.
However, the facts before him forced him to believe it.
Howard definitely doesn't have that ability, Clyde is sure of that. What about Janice? Clyde knows that she is a fire magician. However, to subdue a high-level magic beast like the golden tiger, at least an eighth-level magician is needed. Could she be a magician?
Impossible! Clyde made his decision.
As for Ling'er, that's even more of a fantasy.
The only one left is Andrew.
Clyde thought back to when Andrew looked at him just now, and his heart sank involuntarily. Isn't this the pressure of a strong person?
"What a despairing talent!" Clyde smiled bitterly.
Soon, the group arrived at the Frey family. When the guard outside the door saw Clyde, he immediately opened the door. Clyde and his men handed the horses to them and led Andrew's family inside.
The manor of the Frey family is very luxurious. Precious flowers and plants are planted everywhere in the garden. There are also many stone sculptures on both sides of the road. The stone sculptures are of different shapes, including monsters and trees. Under the shade of the trees, the lake and rockery are in harmony, giving a mysterious feeling. The most attractive thing is the long corridor made of white jade, which has no end in sight.
"It's so beautiful here, Ling'er really wants to play here!" Seeing such a courtyard for the first time, Ling'er shouted happily.
"You country bitch, you want to live in my yard? Wait until next life."
Suddenly, an annoying voice came from the corner of the corridor. Andrew looked up and saw a colorfully dressed woman coming out. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and had obvious freckles on her face. Behind her, four women who looked like servants followed.
Ling'er was so scared by her shout that she hid in Janice's arms and dared not speak. Andrew was furious: "Who are you?"
Clyde stopped him and said with a wry smile, "Lord Andrew, this is Viscount Frey's daughter, Miss Kate. Please forgive her offense!"
Kate was also angry over there: "Clyde, why don't you arrest these untouchables!"
Clyde was in a dilemma. He knew that this young lady was very favored in the mansion, but she was also very narrow-minded and would not tolerate being offended. However, if he was asked to arrest someone, he would have to see if he had enough strength.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. These people are guests of the Viscount." This was the only explanation he had.
Kate stepped aside in disgust. "Why would my father hire these lowly people? He is so foolish. Humph, for my father's sake, I will spare you today. Don't let me see you again next time! And that wild girl, if she wants to live in the Viscount's mansion and be my servant, I can consider it."
Andrew was extremely angry. With a gloomy face, he took two steps forward and approached Kate. He was not going to tolerate this mean young lady. He could not forgive her domineering attitude and the harm she had done to Ling'er.
“Andrew, forget it.”
After taking two steps, Howard grabbed him.
"This is the Viscount's mansion after all. If things get out of hand, it won't benefit anyone."
"Yes." Clyde tried to smooth things over. "Miss Kate is still young and doesn't know much. Why bother with her? Let's go. The Viscount is waiting."
Because of Howard, Andrew had to endure it. He turned around and whispered, "Clyde, I hope this is the last time. If someone insults my family again, my knife won't allow it!"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, let's go." Clyde wiped the cold sweat from his head and responded hurriedly. Just now, Andrew released his killing intent, which stimulated him to feel cold all over.
Soon, everyone came to a courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet and there were lush flowers and trees. Janice was very envious.
"My Lord, these are the powerful people who are visiting Baihe City!" Clyde saluted a fat middle-aged man in front of the courtyard gate. The middle-aged man was not tall, but he had a strong aura, and it was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time. He was the patriarch of the Frey family, Viscount Frey of the Magnolia Empire.
Viscount Frey glanced at everyone, his gaze lingered on Jin Hu for a few seconds, and then he came over with a smile on his face.
"Welcome everyone to Baihe City. On behalf of the Frey family, I would like to invite you to a banquet. Please come in!"
Andrew stepped back a few steps and gave the position of leader to Howard. Facing Viscount Frey, Howard was a little short of breath and spoke in a weak tone.
"Thank you for the invitation, Lord Viscount. Our Lance family is honored."
Viscount Frey smiled with satisfaction. Howard's respectful attitude made him very satisfied.
"Sir Lance, may I ask which powerful person tamed this monster?" Viscount Frey asked curiously.
Speaking of this, Howard was also a little proud.
"This is someone my son Andrew tamed. He is only eleven years old, but he is already a high-level warrior."
Viscount Frey was surprised and said, "An eleven-year-old high-level warrior? Really? This kind of talent is probably unique in the Yulan Continent!"
Howard was very proud: "Of course it's true. At the beginning, I was also shocked like the Viscount."
"I really envy you for having such a talented son." Viscount Frey complimented him and asked, "Where are you from?"
"We originally lived in Fenglin Town, and this time we plan to go to the imperial capital and pass by Baihe City." Howard replied without hesitation.
Maple Forest Town, isn't that my territory? It turns out they are just my people. A thought flashed through his mind, and Viscount Frey looked down on Howard.
Arriving in the house, lunch was served soon. During the meal, Viscount Frey raised his glass to Howard several times, but his eyes were always on Andrew. Andrew sat with Ling'er and ignored him.
"Howard, your family is leaving Maple Forest Town and heading to the imperial capital this time, which is quite risky." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Viscount Frey spoke more casually.
Howard put down his glass and pretended to listen attentively: "My Lord Viscount, this is our first time going to the imperial capital. What are the risks?" Janice was also attracted by the conversation between the two and listened carefully.
Viscount Frey's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he immediately pretended to be a good guy: "To be honest, I have been to the imperial capital several times. Starting from Baihe City, it takes at least three months to get there. Not only does it take a long time, but you also have to pass through many dangerous areas, such as Fengyuan Swamp, Weeping Forest, and so on. Not only that, there are countless robbers on the road. The last time I went to the imperial capital, half of my family's guardian knights were lost when I came back. Alas, it's really dangerous. Your family, I'm afraid..." As he spoke, he sighed, as if he was very sorry.
Howard was silent for a moment and didn't say anything, but Janice became worried and looked at Howard.
Viscount Frey added, "In my opinion, although Andrew is very talented, it's probably too early for him to go to the imperial capital. Why don't you stay in Baihe City and go to the imperial capital in a few years. As for the residence, you can rest assured. My Frey family has several other courtyards in the city. I will make the decision and give you one!"
Howard pondered and said, "My Lord Viscount, what do you mean by this?"
Viscount Frey was unhappy and put down his glass. Clyde next to him said, "Howard, the Viscount wants you and your family to join the Frey family. Then you can have status and money in White River City. Why take the risk of going to the imperial capital?"
Shaking his head, Howard said, "Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your appreciation. However, we will stick to our original plan." He was not stupid, so he understood the Viscount's intention. The Viscount was obviously attracted by Andrew's talent and wanted him to become his family knight. To put it bluntly, a family knight is a servant for generations. How could Howard let Andrew do this? Not to mention that he was extremely talented, even if he had no talent at all, Howard would not agree.
Viscount Frey was about to get angry as he slammed the table. He thought he had been humble enough, but it was abominable that a commoner in his territory dared to reject him. At this time, a familiar voice came from the door: "Father, so you are here."
Viscount Frey forced a smile and replied, "Kate, come in too. We have guests here."
The person who came was Kate. Seeing her, Ling'er quickly turned her face away and leaned on Andrew. Andrew's mood also became very bad and he put down the food.
Kate walked in with a smile on her face. When she passed by the Lance family, she deliberately took a detour, her disgust evident in her words.
"Father, who are they?" Kate asked, sitting next to Viscount Frey.
Viscount Frey replied unhappily, "I'm from Maple Grove Town."
"Maple Grove Town, isn't that your territory? I thought so. You are the pariahs ruled by our Frey family. Humph, you country bumpkins are blessed by your ancestors to be able to live in our noble viscount's mansion!"
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, the table in front of Andrew flew out, and the food on the table spilled all over the floor.
"You said we are pariahs and not as noble as you?"
After sending Ling'er to Janice, Andrew walked up to Viscount Frey and Kate. He pointed at the food on the ground and said, "Now I'll let you know who is more noble! Lick the food off the ground immediately, otherwise I'll let the golden tiger eat you!"
