Chapter 375 When We Meet
Chapter 375 When We Meet
The Marquisate of Giant Frog.
On this day, a sunny boy suddenly appeared on the street near the Marichamn Castle. No passerby on the street noticed anything wrong with his arrival.
The boy was dressed like an adventurer and looked like a trainee member of a mercenary group.
There are shops on both sides of the street, and the street is very busy. The boy looks left and right, curious about everything.
"Young man, what do you want to buy? Long swords, long bows, bearskin armor. Do you want to come in and take a closer look?"
"No, I'll just take a look."
"Why don't you just come over here and take a look, sir? I'll tell you something in secret. I have a secret breathing medicine in my store that is extremely effective. The quantity is very rare, and I won't sell it to ordinary people. But I just like you--"
"Manager, you can keep it for yourself, or give it to your son. I don't need that kind of thing."
Although the young man was dressed simply, the astute shop owners on both sides could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary and had a temperament that was not comparable to that of an ordinary adventurer. They thought to themselves that he might be a young nobleman who came to experience life, so they quickly greeted him enthusiastically.
Without exception, they all hit a snag.
They didn't pay much attention to this and soon found that the young man walked to the corner of the street and went straight to the castle without stopping.
"Hey man, that's the Marquis of Giant Frog's castle, Marichaton. If you don't know him well, you'd better not go near him. Otherwise, the guards might use force to drive him away."
Seeing the boy's reckless look, the owner of the shop selling the secret breathing medicine couldn't help but give him a reminder.
"Thanks for the reminder, but it's no problem." Hearing this, the young man turned around and responded politely.
"It seems that he is really a young nobleman." The owner muttered to himself as he watched the figure going away.
"Your eyesight is not very good." The weapons shop owner chuckled.
"How do you say this?"
"Didn't you see that the boy has an unusual appearance? He has some similarities with several noble lords of the Marichatton family. He might be related to the Marquis." The owner of the weapons shop reminded.
"Hearing what you said - it is indeed so, could it be an illegitimate child - forget it, it's none of our business." The drugstore owner realized it belatedly.
When it came to the taboo point, he immediately ended the topic.
No matter who the other party is, since it concerns the notorious Marichatton family, it is not something that the two businessmen can discuss.
On the other side, the boy walked along the upward path and arrived at the foot of Marichamn Castle.
"Please stop. This is the castle of the Marquis of Giant Frog. No one is allowed to approach." There were several guards guarding the castle gate. One of them stepped forward and stopped the approaching boy.
"I want to see the Marquis of Giant Frog." the boy shouted.
"Wait a moment. Please show me your business card, or tell me your name and purpose of your visit." Seeing that he spoke so impolitely, the young guard frowned, but still questioned him in a nice way.
Faced with the guards' obstruction, the boy's expression did not change at all and he answered the question loudly.
"Listen carefully, my last name is 'Marichaton', and I have a close relationship with the Marquis of the Giant Frog. Go and inform him as soon as possible. I must meet the Marquis of the Giant Frog in person today."
"Stop talking nonsense. Why haven't I seen you before? You might be a wild guy from somewhere..." The guard was annoyed by the boy's nonsense and he started to speak rudely.
However, before he could reprimand further, he was stopped by another older guard, who shook his head at him.
The older guard looked at the boy and was about to say something, but the boy became impatient.
"Forget it, I can't tell you. I'll go in and look for him myself. He'll definitely recognize me as soon as he sees me." After the young man said this, he stomped his feet on the ground. His body seemed to have no weight, and he jumped onto the castle wall.
He ran quickly to the other side, not caring at all that there were actually quite a few guards patrolling there.
"Asshole! How dare you trespass into Marichaton Castle."
"Where did you come from, little thief? Why don't you surrender quickly and wait for your punishment."
His action was like pouring a basin of water into a hot oil pan, which immediately angered the guards on the city wall.
In broad daylight, someone actually broke into the Marquis's castle. They simply showed their disrespect for them.
The next moment, someone followed the young man in a hurry with fighting spirit, someone closed the castle with a clang, and someone else went to report the news to the master and mistress, informing them that someone was causing trouble.
"Chase him! Don't let the thief go."
"Great! Don't let him disturb the Marquis, his wife, the young master, and the young lady."
What was unexpected was that the boy who broke into the castle was extremely agile. He climbed over the parapets and guardrails easily, and in the blink of an eye he got down the wall, entered the castle, and ran towards the Marquis's residence. The boy was like an unmanned place.
Many guards of the castle hurriedly chased after them, all kinds of fighting spirit appeared, no matter whether they were knights or great knights, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest, if they hurt anyone from the Marichatton family, they would be seriously derelict in their duty.
For a moment, the whole Marichaton Castle was noisy.
At the back of the west side of the castle is a garden full of blooming flowers. The Marquis of Giant Frog was enjoying tea and flowers here with his wife and children when they heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.
"What's going on? Could it be that some wild beasts are invading the castle? Daniel, why don't you go and take a look?" The Marquis of Giant Frog felt a little disappointed and ordered the butler beside him to go and check out the situation.
"It's bad, Lord Marquis." Before the butler could leave the garden, someone came to report: "A strong man broke into the castle and is heading this way. Lord Marquis, please retreat for a while."
"What a joke! This is the family castle of Marichatton. I am the head of the Marichatton family. When a powerful enemy attacks, I don't kill the enemy but retreat instead. How can this make sense?"
The Marquis of Giant Frog was not willing to retreat. He drew out the long sword he carried with him and prepared to go forward to meet the enemy.
As a marquis, Lede is also a senior knight.
"Father, I will follow you to strangle the enemy."
"I'll go as well."
His words were echoed by his younger children nearby, who were all excited and ready to follow their father to kill the enemy.
"Okay, you are all good sons of the Marichaton family. Your father will go first to meet the enemy, and you will escort your mother to a safe place, and then come to support her."
Hearing this, the Marquis of Giant Frog could not help but admire, and while winking at his wife, he began to explain.
However, before they could take action, the noise was getting closer, and a nimble figure jumped over the wall and landed among the flowers.
"careful!"
"Protect the Marquis."
The guards and the butler protected the Marquis of Giant Frog. The Marquis of Giant Frog subconsciously used his body to block his wife and children. When he looked at the intruder in the garden, his eyes were stunned.
"Evan???"
"Father."
"Are you really Ivan?"
The Giant Frog Marquis could hardly believe his eyes. A familiar yet strange feeling emerged in his heart.
How should I put it? It is true that the young man in front of me is my third son, but he was the naughty one many years ago, not the more sensible one later.
He looked at the young Ivan, and Ivan was also looking at him.
After nearly twenty years of separation, Liede still looks young and strong, but with a few strands of gray hair on his temples.
"Yes, it's me. I'm back." The boy said with a smile.
"You are Ivan, you...you...you won't have any problems, right? You come to see me for the last time?" Red pushed aside the people in front of him and just took two or three steps forward, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks, his face turned pale.
He had collected information about wizards, and according to the information, this situation most likely meant that the wizard had fallen.
Once Ivan dies, the consequences for the Marichatton family will be unimaginable.
"You worry too much." The young man shook his head and walked out of the flowers while emphasizing seriously, "I'm fine recently, better than ever before. Moreover, I'm really back and I passed by the castle earlier."
He subconsciously looked up at the sky, but the airship had already left.
"That's good, that's good." After hearing this, Red's pale face gradually returned to normal. Then he turned sideways and looked behind him awkwardly: "Ivan, these are your brothers and sisters. This is Austin, and this is--"
"Father, I came back this time just to see you, Paul, Beeman, Paige, and Sean. I don't have much time here and will be leaving soon." The boy interrupted him directly.
"Uh--ok, I understand." Led took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"I'm glad you understand. Tell them quickly. I'll be waiting for them at Flying Fish Harbor." The young man ordered bluntly. Seeing him nod, he added with a smile:
"Let them come to the family castle in Marichaton first. I think I can chat with them for a while, and then go to Flying Fish Harbor."
"Okay, I'll notify them and ask them to come as soon as possible."
Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Led's face again.
