Lord Highlander

   Chapter 407 406. Cole Norton

Looking at the highest place in Hailansa City, a group of castle buildings rose from the ground, as if it was a city within a city. Cole Norton discovered that in some small cities, there are actually some people who have mastered the real power. Small lords with power, such as Marquis Bernard Christie.

Just looking at this contiguous castle complex, it is not difficult to guess the background behind the Christie family, which is much deeper than what Darcy Christie described to everyone in the academy. Darcy said that his family formed a Cole Norton thought it was a few constructed swordsmen following the Marquis Bernard Christie. Now it seems that Darcy Christie's words should not have any meaning.

In the swordsman academy, Cole Norton was as proud as a royal prince. He was highly sought after, and he seemed to feel that the whole world was revolving around him, but when he turned around from the Warsaw plane, from the illusory bubble After leaving the academy, he started to face the life after leaving the academy, only to find that many things were not as simple as he thought. After leaving the academy, his charm gradually became worthless, which made him feel uneasy. Looking for what I keep losing these days, but I find that those friends around me are also drifting away.

  Before Cole Norton came to High Lansa City, he had imagined countless scenes of meeting Darcy Christie, but he never imagined that Darcy Christie would actually avoid seeing him. After waiting outside the castle for three days, he didn't even meet Miss Darcy Christie.

  He stood in front of the drawbridge on a tall steed, looking up at the attic at the top of the castle, with a faint smile on his lips.

Cole Norton is a very good-looking swordsman. He has a well-proportioned figure, and his tight leather armor can't hide his bulging muscles. His face can be regarded as handsome and extraordinary, and he has the purest Benner swordsman blood, so it is the most ideal lover in the hearts of many women.

   "Damn Suldak..." He cursed in his heart, this cannon fodder soldier who climbed up from the bottom of the heavy armored infantry regiment actually became the biggest stumbling block in his life.

But today he was standing outside the castle, but he thought of a good method. It was all thanks to the reminder of Viscount Funak, the senior and friend of Hailansa. Cole Norton thought that he could do this. Officially handed out a visiting letter to the Christie family, after all, he is also an outstanding young swordsman among the younger generation of the Norton family.

As the consul of High Lansa City, Marquis Bernard Christie should not refuse to meet him. In this way, Cole Norton will naturally meet Miss Darcy, and Cole Norton is also very sure that After seeing Darcy Christie, he pulled her heart back like regaining lost ground, and let her return to his side.

  …

   At the same time, a quarrel broke out in the study of the Marquis Bernard of the Christie Family Castle.

Miss Darcy sat angrily on the only chair in the study, her face turned red because of the fierce dispute with her father, she was probably the only one in the entire Christie family who dared to contradict Marquis Bernard like this, without worrying subject to any punishment.

"... Darcy, this is not how you treat guests!" Marquis Bernard looked at his eldest daughter dotingly. Her temper, character, and principles of dealing with people were very similar to her when she was young. Marquis Bernard felt that he should teach her some of the experience he had accumulated over the years, at least to make her character smoother and to minimize offending people who could have been friends.

   "But I really don't want to see him at all! I just want to read a book quietly by myself now." Miss Darcy said coquettishly to Marquis Bernard.

  Marquis Bernard stared into his daughter's eyes and said: "At least you should entertain him once or twice. As a friend in the Advanced Swordsman Academy, he came from a long way. This is what you should do."

  Seeing the serious look on Marquis Bernard's face, Darcy Christie shut her mouth in good time.

   "..."

Seeing his daughter's aggrieved face, Marquis Bernard reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, I won't force you, you must attend when I interview him tomorrow, at least To sit next to me, even if you don’t say a word—this is your reserve as the eldest daughter of the Christie family, but you also have to smile all the time, that’s the basic courtesy you should show.”

  Dacy Christie stood up and said to Marquis Bernard: "Well, I'm just attending this interview, and I promise I won't say a word!"

   After speaking, he carried some cumbersome long skirts in his hands, and quickly left the study of Marquis Bernard.

  …

  This interview was in the reception hall of Christie Castle where envoys from other lords were received.

  The Marquis Bernard sat on the high throne, and on the two back chairs on one side was the young wife of the Marquis Bernard, and on the other was the young Miss Darcy Christie. Cole Norton appeared at the entrance of the hall wearing a tight-fitting petrified lizard-skin magic-weave outfit. Marquis Bernard and his young wife were very impressed. Their strong and young bodies were full of restrained explosiveness when they walked. Come out Cole Norton is an excellent swordsman.

Cole Norton strode into the reception hall. Under the gazes of the guards and several nobles, he raised his head to salute the Marquis Bernard without being humble, stood up straight, and raised his head high. He raised his chin and introduced himself, and then said bluntly that he had rushed to Hailansa City under the heavy snow this time. After graduation, I thought I could continue, but unexpectedly, this relationship became weaker and weaker, and I blamed time and distance for the problems between the two.

  Cole Norton took the opportunity to express his love for Darcy Christie to Marquis Bernard.

  Miss Darcy almost rolled her eyes at Cole Norton on the spot. Where did that Cole Norton who was as proud as a blue peacock go? When she was at the Swordsman Academy, Miss Darcy always thought that Cole Norton had a very **** chin, but now she only felt that his chin was as disgusting as a gray rock iguana.

  If it wasn't for her father sitting beside her, Daxi wanted to smash down the silver wine glass in her hand.

  Seeing the faces of the nobles around them showing the faces of the melon-eating crowd, Miss Daxi wanted to leave in a huff.

On the contrary, Marquis Bernard listened with gusto. He admired his daughter's unscrupulous behavior style in order to achieve her goals. Cole Norton's straightforwardness also won the favor of Marquis Bernard. Marquis Bernard even felt that Cole Norton was better than The young nobles in Hailansa City were better, so he suddenly changed his mind before meeting him, and decided that he should give this young swordsman another chance.

"I heard Daxi mention the experience of the Warsaw plane in the past, but she is not willing to talk about the details. It turns out that you were also a member of your swordsman academy's Warsaw plane experience tour. I really want to hear it Your training journey..." Marquis Bernard laughed happily in the hall, and the nobles beside him also laughed in agreement.

"My lord Marquis, in fact, our experience journey this time was not so smooth. When we arrived in the Warsaw plane Handanal County, the Duke of Newman was gathering the elite troops of the Bernard Legion to besiege and kill an army of evil spirits. At that time, all the legions joined the battle, but we young students from the academy were left in the city of Handanal, and only Daxi and some students went to the front line of Moyun Ridge..." Cole Norton stood in the hall , vividly told everyone about that journey of experience, and how Dacie Christie led a group of sisters, escaped from several evil spirits along the way, and returned to Handanal County through the hilly pastures.

  He did not forget to mention here that when he and other students who stayed in Handanal County received the news, they immediately rushed to the other side of the river to meet Darcy Christie and the others.

Marquis Bernard didn't expect his daughter to have such a wonderful experience in the Warsaw plane, and he said to Miss Darcy beside him with a gentle face, "Hehe, it's a good thing that young people have encountered some bumps in their journey of training. , The smooth sailing experience can't exercise the ability to adapt to changes, only in the face of adversity, can you grow up quickly."

Then Marquis Bernard asked Cole Norton curiously: "However, what happened to the deserter you mentioned on the Moyunling battlefield? As far as I know, part of the battle group in the Moyunling battle belonged to Our Hailansa City, Daxi, why have you never mentioned it before?"

  Miss Darcy didn't speak, but smiled slightly at Marquis Bernard.

   And Cole Norton took the opportunity to say at this time: "After returning to Bena City, I have no news of him, but I heard that he also returned to his hometown safely..."

Seeing that Cole Norton described Suldak as his deadly enemy when telling this story, and then wanted to reveal some information about Suldak, Miss Darcy couldn't bear it anymore. She let her The tone became very low, and he said to Cole Norton in the audience: "Enough, Cole! Aren't those things enough to make you feel ashamed? Why do you have to bring it up again?"

Cole Norton saw that he had successfully aroused Darcy Christie's anger, he was secretly happy, and immediately stretched his neck, puffed out his chest and said to Miss Darcy on the high platform: "Dacy, what does a failure actually mean? , as long as we dare to face..."

"That's right, young people must have such tenacity!" Marquis Bernard felt that the young swordsman in front of him was outstanding in terms of family background, ability, and temperament. Some experience and experience are nothing to noble lords.

He supported the armrest of the chair with his elbow, stroked the beard on his chin with his thumb, glanced at the daughter sitting beside him, and said to her, "Darcy, since this is the first time for Cole to come to High Lansa, you As the owner of Hailansa City, I took Cole for a walk around the city. Although Hailansa is only a small mountain city, it also has some very unique scenery!"

   "Father!" Miss Darcy protested softly.

   But seeing how unmoved Marquis Bernard was, Miss Darcy also knew that once her father made a decision, it was basically difficult to change.

She could only stand up from the chair, bowed her knees to her father, and then gave Cole Norton a deep look. She gritted her teeth and said to him, "I hope you have a good time in Hailansa City." remember!"
