Lord of Riding and Slashing

Nanshanzhai, a temporary meeting room.

Nord and Old Man Harun sat facing each other. Compared with yesterday, the old man Harlan looked much more energetic today. I don't know if it was because he walked out of the house, saw the scenery outside, and breathed some fresh air. , the mood becomes more comfortable, it will appear that the old man Harlan is very energetic.

Harlan looked at Nord with a smile on his face, carefully looked at the furnished meeting room, and then chatted with Nord with great interest.

"I said yesterday that I don't have much confidence, but it's not like what you said. I'm well prepared today."

"I never fight unprepared battles, you can be optimistic about today."

Nord smiled at Harlan very confidently, with an inexplicable expression in his eyes. Looking at the old man Harlan looking at his eyes, Nord added another sentence, his tone seemed to be confident.

"There is a saying in my hometown that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, which means that everything starts with the first step, so I have been preparing for today's meeting for a long time."

A meaningful smile appeared on Old Man Harlan's face, as if he had thought of something interesting, he raised his eyebrows, but asked a question that Nord was very surprised about.

"This sentence is very reasonable. I don't know where your hometown is, Viscount Nord. Can you tell me about it, I am very interested in it."

Nord did not expect that old man Harlan would ask this question. According to the normal conversation logic, shouldn’t the relevant topics of this meeting be continued? Why did he suddenly turn to the topic of Nord’s hometown? Nord thinks that old man Harlan will not be Such a boring person, he must have a special meaning for asking this question.

Whether Harlan heard this sentence from other places, or whether he is really interested in Nord's hometown, these Nords don't know, and Nord will certainly not be stupid enough to reveal the news of his previous life.

Instead, he tentatively told Harun about the place where his body grew up, the capital city of Belon, the capital of the Principality of Bethel, and told about his experience and knowledge in Belon City.

Nord wanted to test out what the old man Harlan was paying attention to. If he was very interested in this sentence, Nord was a little terrified, but soon Nord ruled out this idea, don't scare yourself I am not what Nord thinks at all.

When Nord was talking about the city of Veron, he paid attention to Harlan's expression. Although Harlan was a little disappointed when he heard Nord's story, he still listened carefully to some features of Veron City. Seeing this In such a situation, Nord finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Harlan is indeed interested in the hometown that Nord mentioned, not the hometown that Nord thought of in his previous life, but then again, why did Harlan ask this question on his own initiative, and Nord felt Harlan’s interest in it? His own answer was not very satisfactory, it should be said that the answer did not meet his expectations.

Just when Nord and Harlan were both tempted to get news from each other, Benny opened the door and came in from the outside, followed by other principals of the cottage. Seeing this, the two The conversation was over, and he got up to welcome the mountain people who came to the meeting.

Nord told Benny to wait at the gate of the cottage before, and was responsible for receiving the mountain people who came from other places. This was the first task Nord gave him, because from today onwards, Benny was Nord's attendant, so Nord can arrange Benny to do some simple things, which is also a test of Benny's ability.

Although Nord accepted Benny for Harlan's sake, this does not mean that Nord took special care of him. Whether he can stay with Nord depends on Benny's own ability, because Nord's The previous squire was Lehman's younger brother Reed.

That young guy made Nord very satisfied. Although Reid's personality is a bit out of touch, he has completed the tasks assigned to him by Nord with great care, whether it was planting yams before or gathering children in the village. Reid has over-fulfilled all the things.

This was beyond Nord's expectations, because Nord felt that Reed would not be a person who could calm down. He was so naughty and jumpy, and felt a little unreliable. How could he calm down and complete it? Nord gave him the task, but at that time Nord really had no one under his command, so he had to drive the ducks to the shelves and let Reed go on top.

If he could complete half of the task, Nord would be very satisfied, but he did not expect that under Nord's encouragement and comfort (fooling), Reed actually completed the task very well, and Nord had to admit that he was wrong , Reed is not what he appears to be.

Looking back now, Nord has an answer in his heart. In this growing environment, especially with an excellent brother like Lehman, this will cause great pressure on Reed, so Reed is very happy. You will use mischievous ways to attract your father's attention. I have to say that under such conditions, it is really unexpected that Reid can still grow into a talent.

That's right, Reed is a very rare talent. Nord attaches great importance to him and specially transfers him to the Hill Scholar for further studies, because Nord feels that he doesn't have much to teach him. Scholars can also help him grow, and Nord has high expectations for Reed, so this invisibly puts a lot of pressure on Benny.

This is the reason Nord didn't find another attendant for so long after Reed left. Because of Reed, Nord's requirements for attendants have been raised a lot, because after having such a good attendant, it is easy to follow Rid. Germany to compare, so many people look down upon Nord.

It's not that Nord is picky. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After getting used to delicious food, how can you swallow some leftovers? Will be vacant for a long time.

After Benny brought people into the conference room, he said hello and left. He was very dedicated and dedicated. Because it was his first day under Nord, he seemed very positive. Nord did not treat Benny well. Whether it can be set or not, it is still satisfactory from the current point of view.

When Nord turned his head, he found that Harlan was staring at Benny's back in a daze. When he saw Nord looking at him, Harlan smiled at Nord, but his eyes were a little unnatural, and then the two moved away in agreement. Nord looked at this look, which was an old man's reluctance for his grandson who was about to leave his side.

Even an old man like Harlan can't get rid of this feeling. Benny has grown up by Harlan's side from birth to now. Because of his negligence, Wagner, who has not noticed the drastic change in personality in time, is very fond of Wagner when he was a child. Benny's influence will be so great that Benny has a stuttering problem now, so Harlan still has a feeling of guilt towards Benny, so this time he pulled down his old face and asked Benny to stay with Nord. Position.

Although he knew that Benny would have a better development without his side, Harlan still felt a little bit reluctant at this moment, but Harlan quickly controlled his feelings and began to help Nord greet him. The mountain people who came to the meeting room.
