Master Overlord - Chapter 365

Windbreak castle.

Anne, who sat upright, looked a little restrained, and looked at her husband from time to time. He was drinking. It can be seen that the news just made him happy.

“Jenny, do you eat? It’s made of honey.” Eugenie, who was next to her, grabbed a handful of preserves and handed them to her.

Jenny quickly smiled and shook her head, declining Eugenie’s kindness.

This is my father’s study, so it can’t be just the three of them. On one side and the opposite chair, there are my father and the Bachelor of the castle. And it’s too impolite to chew preserved fruit in such an important conversation. She really can’t do it as easily as Eugenie.

In fact, she was not qualified to participate in such talks, and her father never let her participate in the West. This time, she was forced to come by Eugenie. Fortunately, her appearance did not seem to cause her father’s dissatisfaction.

“Looking at you, it seems that you are not surprised by the news.” the Duke looked at his brother and sister, and his eyes finally fell on pace opposite. “I remember your determined tone. Now he didn’t disappoint you. He not only defeated the enemy, but also captured the Marquis Barrett. It’s a great honor.”

Following the Duke’s eyes, Jenny also looked at pace. At the moment, the afternoon sun was shining on the carpet next to his seat through the terrace, and the warm feeling was like the smile on his face.

“Since the Barrett family was blocked outside Xiangguo Town, I knew they would be defeated sooner or later!”

Pace smiled and spoke as if he had won the war himself.

“But Lord Arthur is too powerful. He not only quickly ended the war, but also captured the enemy’s leader. The nobles of the kingdom are going to lose their chin!”

Aside, the Bachelor in grey nodded slightly.

It has to be said that many people’s expectations of the war will take at least a year to end. Now, from the beginning of the war, it took only a month for the Barrett family to lose.

Looking at the delighted pace, the duke said faintly, “now the Barrett family asks to come to the door. I hope you can be a lobbyist and ask Arthur tustra what ransom he really wants.”

“I won’t go.” pace refused directly. “Ted Barrett has no honor. After the peace talks, he launched a war again. Father, you are the witness of the peace talks. Ted Barrett’s behavior humiliated not only himself, but also you. You should be responsible for this, but you didn’t do anything. I won’t speak for such a guy. It’s a harm to your friends!”

“I asked, and he also gave the reason that Lingfeng Fort hurt civilians during evacuation…”

“Everyone knows it’s an excuse!” pace interrupted. “Are we going to say it’s true just because everyone agrees with a lie? Father, it’s shameful. You’re the Duke of the North!”

“Because I’m the Duke of the North!”

The father suddenly raised the volume, so that Jenny clenched her fist and looked at her husband with worried eyes. She wanted to remind her of what she could do.

“The good deeds of the tustra boy angered all the nobles, and the war of the Barrett family got everyone’s acquiescence and support, even if they found an excuse to rot like mud in the swamp!” the duke said sternly. “Now that they have won the victory, they should know how to give in and stop enough, rather than biting and demanding hostages!”

“Why?” pace retorted, as always unable to agree with his father’s point of view. “If the defeated are Cumbria and Shanghe collar, the bodies of Lord Arthur and milt may have been hung on the flagpole for crows to peck.”

“It’s not too much to ask for what Ted Barrett has done and the harm that telosi has done to the campers family. What’s more, they can’t accept it in only three years! In order to win, they can ignore honor and now take into account their face? I won’t plead for Ted Barrett.”

“Fool, what do you know!” pace’s attitude made the Duke furious and opened his mouth to scold.

“In fact, it’s good for them to choose to give in at this time.”

Eugenie, who was eating preserves, spoke in time to quell a father son dispute that seemed to break out again.

“The Barrett family can endure a defeat, but it can’t endure three years of humiliation, which is more painful and embarrassing than directly killing Lord TID. Moreover, it’s not just the Barrett family, and the kenoway family will never agree. In addition, noble adults everywhere pay attention to their father’s attitude. They won’t care about what’s right or wrong.”

With that, Eugenie threw a candied fruit into her mouth at pace and smiled proudly.

“Master pace, Miss Eugenie is right.” the bachelor on one side also advised, “since the war is over, it is the best choice to restore calm in the north in time, which is also the Duke’s intention. Just imagine that in today’s undercurrent surging situation, if there is a greater dispute because of the toughness of Lingfeng castle, it will be a real disaster.”

Seeing that pace was still hesitating, the stern Duke gave a cold “hum” and said in his heart that his baby daughter was sensible.

“Brother, in fact, you don’t have to be embarrassed.” Eugenie turned her eyes and said again, “what he wants is not war, nor prisoners, but security. As long as the Barrett family promises not to wage war for at least three years and is guaranteed by their father, your advice will be a useful reminder among friends. And he may be waiting for us to give him steps. Right, father?”

With that, Eugenie looked at the Duke with a lovely smile and wrapped some preserves in her mouth.

“With the situation of the Barrett family, they are unlikely to send troops to Shanghe collar and Cumbria in a few years,” said the Duke.

After another silence, pace looked at his father and said in a low voice, “I will write a letter, but Lord Arthur won’t accept such a promise, and he doesn’t need it. In addition, father, you don’t really pay attention to the river collar and don’t know Lord Arthur. Today’s Lingfeng castle is no longer the Lingfeng castle in the past.”

“In that case, it’s settled. Now let’s talk about the war.”

The Duke ignored his son’s preaching and put forward new requirements: “I heard that he had a bow and arrow called ‘Warcraft bow’. It was because of this bow and arrow that he won the war. Pace, you must find a way to get this bow and arrow.”

Hearing the speech, pace fell back directly on the back of the chair, glanced aside, and looked lazy to talk. He felt he was wasting his breath!

“Pace…” Jenny whispered.

“Damn it, what’s your attitude!” Duke kewilt pointed to his shapeless son. “This matter is very important to us. I tell you, you should get this bow and arrow from him anyway. The best way is to make it!”

“Can’t do it!” pace looked at his father sarcastically. “Do you think it’s possible? Father, you’re the Duke of the north. Why don’t you directly order Lingfeng castle to send you the Warcraft bow?”

“You…”

“Father, even if we have the production method, we can’t make the Warcraft bow!” Eugenie stopped the quarrel in time again.

The Duke glared at his son, calmed down a little, and asked his daughter, “why can’t we do it? Our bowmaker is no worse than Lingfeng castle.”

“It’s not the skill, but the material.” Eugenie quickly explained, “I asked him. The wood for making Warcraft bow only grows on the snow peaks of the Tungus mountains, which is very difficult to cut down and transport, and the quantity is rare. In addition, it takes great strength to open the Warcraft bow, and ordinary knights can’t use it at all.”

“Yes…” hearing the speech, the duke said with a little regret, “if so, it would be a pity.” after that, he glared at pace with dissatisfaction again.

“Father, it’s no pity.” Eugenie continued with a smile. “Although we can’t make Warcraft bow, its design can be used for reference. In addition to the material, the shape of Warcraft bow is completely different from that of long bow, which can shoot arrows farther!”

After explaining the shape and appearance of the reverse curve of the Warcraft bow, Eugenie then said: “as long as we follow this reverse curve design, we can reduce the length of the bow. Although it is not as powerful as the Warcraft bow of Lingfeng castle, it is enough for knights to use on horseback. In fact, it is more suitable for us.”

“Eugenie, what you said is true?” even Duke kewilt was a little unbelievable.

“Of course it is! Don’t you believe me?”

“Believe me, of course I believe my baby daughter.” the Duke was very happy and stunned. He suddenly remembered something and immediately pointed to pace opposite. “Look, look at your sister, you’re looking at yourself! He brought back a group of serfs with feces from the river collar!”

“They are not serfs, and they are not associated with feces. That is an advanced farming method!”

The Duke only snorted coldly at his son’s retort, and then immediately looked at his daughter with a smile: “my baby, in that case, you can draw it when you are free, and then give it to the craftsman of the castle. Let’s make a few first to see how powerful it is.”

“Father, I’ve asked someone to do it, but it still needs some time. The bow tip is not easy to make.”

Hearing the speech, the Duke was greatly relieved. After praising his daughter, he immediately pointed to pesxun and said, “look, look at your sister! Look at yourself. What good things have you done!”
