That's very badass

59 - Witness 1
The next day, after the two had dinner.

"Are you sure it's okay to wear armor to meet the Duke of Osborne?"

Roland was a little confused about this. According to the information in his memory, everyone needed to put on formal clothes to show respect when meeting nobles. Only big nobles would wear casual clothes when meeting small nobles. Wouldn't this be too rude?

"Don't worry, there's no problem. The Duke of Osborne requires the family's knights and above nobles to wear armor at all times and be ready to fight the orcs at any time."

Looking at Roland who had asked this question several times, he took the trouble to explain it again.

"But I am not noble."

"But you are here to show your allegiance, what do you wear if you don't wear armor? Are you going to dress like a clown and let the Duke drive you out?"

He had had enough of Roland's kind of bullshit, and couldn't help complaining.

This answer was reasonable. Roland opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.It's just that Duke Osborne's request is a little strange, why is he so defensive about the orcs? Like most people who have seen the tall walls of the North Wind Fortress, he does not think that the orcs can attack the North Wind Fortress.

"By the way, how did you increase your strength so much in a few months? As far as skills are concerned, although you are a little proficient, you can still accept it."

Because I spent the entire day today training with the Gale Legion, I didn't make an appointment with Roland again. It was a bit regretful. The fight yesterday was very uncomfortable, so I just gave him some pointers today.

After Roland stopped bothering him with nonsense, he remembered this question and asked curiously.

This question stumped Roland, he couldn't tell others that he was a loser, so he said vaguely: "Maybe it's because I've been able to eat more recently, I've trained hard, and I'm very talented. That's why the strength grows fast."

As for his proficiency in skills, Roland can still accept it, because he discovered a secret, that is, Baron Ang is a big deal!
Just by pointing him out, his two-handed weapon proficiency increased by 10 points, reaching 190 points, which made him guess that this guy's proficiency was at least 200 points.

Well, most likely 250 points.

Roland's Versailles words made Baron Leon a little uncomfortable. If you were talented, you might be able to single out the legendary Goron by now.But seeing that he didn't want to say it, he didn't delve into it.

In his opinion, it was just the secret recipe he obtained, targeted training, and his previous lack of strength that made him grow so fast.

Speaking of Versailles, Baron Leon is still powerful, look at what he said, 'the strength was not so good before'.Strictly speaking, Roland's 16-point strength is not weak before. Who is to say that he is a real talent.

Between the words, the two came to the main castle of the inner city.

"Welcome, Baron Leon, and this lord, the Duke has already ordered you to go in directly." The guard saluted respectfully and greeted the two of them respectively.

Seeing this, Baron Leon and Roland also returned a salute.

Because neither of them was carrying a weapon, there was no scene of collecting the weapon, and the two walked in smoothly.

The servants inside saluted after seeing them, and they only nodded slightly, as if they had greeted them.

Baron Leon was in front, and because he didn't know the way, Roland took a step slowly and followed him.After passing several guards, they came to the door of Duke Osborne's study.

Following the invitation of Duke Osborne, they walked into the room together.Looking at this stone house with some patina, he thought that the sound insulation of this study was very good, because Baron Leon said yesterday that only the three of them met because of the reputation of Viscount Whitnet.

At this time, the guard at the door left without a sound, but Roland didn't know about it.

Looking at the two people who came in, Duke Osborne said: "You guys sit down first, and we will talk after I finish processing these documents."

Because he didn't know if this was a temptation or if it was really his intention, Roland was a little restrained.Baron Leon didn't have so many worries, but pulled Roland directly to the guest seat at the bottom of the seat, and sat down directly.

Seeing Roland's nervous expression, Baron Leon said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Your Excellency the Duke is very easy to talk to, just tell the truth without embellishing it, Your Excellency doesn't like people who tell tales.

By the way, don't talk nonsense. "

Roland scoffed at the idea of ​​being easy to talk. No matter how easy to talk, it is for you vassals, not me, a stranger of unknown origin. Tonight is destined to be a challenge.

In fact, he was also a little hesitant about whether to talk about Viscount Whitnet.

As for embellishment and gossip, he is not the kind of person who messes around with big things. He can joke about small things, but he never jokes about big things.

"I kept you waiting for a long time. This man is old and useless."

The voice of Duke Osborne came from the side. It turned out that he had finished processing the paperwork and came over.

Roland, who heard the voice, immediately stood up, saluted and said, "I wish you good health, Duke Osborne."

"You don't need so much etiquette, Roland, do you? The way you speak reminds me of a time."

Hearing Roland's strange way of speaking reminded him of the court during the First Empire. That book is still on the shelf.

It's just that with the destruction of the First Empire, the Four Great Kingdoms were afraid of the resurgence of the First Empire, so all the books during that time were burned, and most of those sentences were blown away by the wind.

It is only in this northern land that has not experienced wars that there are well-preserved books, and it is not known what purpose the Duke of Osborne kept these books.

The Osborne family without King Qin seems to have no reason to still think about the First Empire.Maybe it's just a pity for the technological explosion at that time. Most of the large cities today are the wealth left by the First Empire.

Looking at Duke Osborne, who had some inexplicable eyes, Roland nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, my name is Roland, the leader of an unknown mercenary group."

Duke Osborne did not reply to Roland's words, but turned his gaze to the grinning Baron Leon.

Seeing Duke Osborne who turned his gaze to him, Baron Leon put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "Yes, Mr. Duke, he is Roland, I'm sure."

"I'm not asking you to talk nonsense, I mean why don't you serve tea to the guests? Are you used to being served by servants?"

Facing Duke Osborne's stern words, Baron Leon immediately got up to find the teapot; but was held down by Duke Osborne, who had already picked up the teapot, and began to pour tea for the two of them.

This scene made Roland a little flattered, and he didn't know why, so he had to hold the teacup with both hands to show respect.

But Baron Leon sat on the wax, his face turned red.Although he could forcibly get up, it didn't fit his identity, so he had to sit obediently, looking like he was sitting on pins and needles.
