lord and his dragon

The person who came was tall and had a ferocious face. He was the eldest son of Duke Pavoni's family, Marus Pavoni.

In order to intercept Negrim, he specially inquired about the other party's whereabouts, and rushed here with people from the mansion where Negrim lived.

The conflict between Marus Pavoni and Negrim... no, that's not actually a contradiction, and it's not even correct to call Negrim the "mortal enemy" of Malus, They, at least from Malus' point of view, Negrim hadn't offended him at all.

Everything can be traced back to nine years ago. Before the coup d'etat, the Pavoni family were not the big nobles who are favored by the king. Like many small nobles living in the king's capital, they had no money. Also taking into account the face, life is very embarrassing.

The only thing that can distinguish them from ordinary minor nobles is probably that Pavoni attached himself to the old noble Hugh Nordin at that time.

The Hugh Nuoding family brought a lot of benefits to Pavoni, and also allowed them to barely maintain their high-class life. Just like the current Duke of Pavoni was actually a vassal of the original Duke Hugh Nuoding, Marus Pavoni was also the eldest son of Hugh Nordin's family at that time, Negrim's cousin, and Lux ​​Hugh Nordin's attendant.

No matter where Lux goes, he is always by his side, he will be at the forefront of what Lux does, and he will take the blame for Lux's troubles, in Marus's heart, he always felt that At that time, I wasn't a nobleman at all, he was Lux Hugh Nordin's servant, a dog of their family, although Lux couldn't directly order his servants to whip him when he was upset with him, but he could send him anytime, anywhere. He shook his face and embarrassed him, and afterwards Marus would be beaten up by his father, and then forced to go to Hugh Nuoding's house to apologize bitterly.

In this case, the relationship between Negrim and Malus is actually obvious.

Although Negrim is also a member of Hugh Nordin's family, he is Lux Hugh Nordin's toy and the target of bullying, and his status is even inferior to Marus, because when he and Marus met , basically the latter beat and tortured him under Lux's order.

After the downfall of Hugh Nordin's family, Negrim and Marus, who were both victims, should not be the relationship between the latter hating the former.

But that's the way it is, Marus didn't plan to let Nigrim go after the rise of the Pavoni family, how he treated Nigrim when Lux was still there, his attitude didn't change much after that, At most, it was because Negrim had changed from a white body to an earl, which prevented him from using the violent methods he used when he was a child.

But unable to inflict physical harm, he can also oppress Negrim psychologically and spiritually.

Hugh Nordin is still a veteran nobleman anyway, and the centipede is dead but not stiff. Originally, Negrim shouldn't have become the target of everyone's exploitation so quickly, but Pavoni, as a new great nobleman, took the lead. Malus poached the last retainers who were loyal to Hugh Nordin's family, suppressed the minor nobles who still showed favor with Hugh Nordin, and took away a huge amount of wealth from Negrim.

Everyone pushed the wall down, leaving Negrim alone. Hugh Nordin is a huge piece of fat. Someone has already pulled out the burrs on the skin, and even took the first mouthful of fat. Can you still sit still?

So they scrambled and swarmed up, large and small forces were like carrion vultures, no longer caring about their face, and ferociously and eagerly scraped away the wealth of the Xiu Nuoding family, before Negrim even had time to use the power in his hands to do something. What, it became the laughing stock of the entire royal capital's aristocratic circle.

After people do bad things, they always want to make themselves appear innocent. How do they do it?As long as they slander the victims, isn't their behavior justifiable?

Marus was always on the front line against Negrim. He kept thinking, why didn't this cripple just die?This idea continued until the day Negrim was sent to the frontier.

Earl Hugh Nordin is going to be the lord of the border area, and his fief, apart from a dilapidated and poor rural town, is the land of no man and the marginal forest!

This news made many aristocrats in the capital laugh. However, compared to the funny picture of Hugh Nordin becoming a poor mayor, Marus expected Negrim to die directly in the mob of the Borderlands. And in the hands of alien races in the marginal forest!

But who would have thought that, just like surviving from Lux's hands and surviving the gossip of the nobles, Negrim also survived the extremely dangerous border, and returned to the king in such a glorious way? All!

Marus was almost too angry to think, no matter what, he couldn't tolerate such a thing happening, and he even began to unconsciously think about how to prevent Negrim from leaving the king's capital alive.

He hasn't figured it out yet, but today he plans to beat up Nigrim without any scruples. First, just like what he did to Nigrim in the past, he will first satirize him and call Nigrim Graham was ashamed and ashamed.

At least before he spoke, Marus had already rehearsed everything in his heart. The cripple of Hugh Nuoding's family would tremble under his ridicule as before, without saying a word, and it was very likely that he would be directly attacked by him. Collapsing to the ground in fright.

However, it was precisely because he was so certain of the other party's reaction that after Negrim greeted him, Marus barely realized what the other party said.

He was stunned.

"What did you say?" Marus asked.

Negrim twitched the corners of his mouth, drew his voice, and said mockingly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that in just five short years, you not only lost your brain, but also your ears are useless. "

Nigrim held his head up, his eyes were filled with contempt, his back was straight, his face was so stable and calm, his whole body exuded the arrogance of a nobleman, and he was no longer the cowardice in Malus' memory. look like.

The object he bullied for a long time turned into the complete opposite. Marus couldn't even turn his head around for a while. Xiaoxiu Nuoding did make a fortune in the fief, but why would he dare to ridicule himself like this ?Pavoni is the hottest noble in front of the king now!

Marus took a step back for no reason, then he stabilized his mind and said with a sneer, "What? You forgot all about your identity after going out for a trip? Do you need me to remind you of the past? Or did you just get lucky? With a little money, you feel like you've changed?"

After finishing speaking, Marus subconsciously looked left and right, expecting other people's reactions. In the past, whenever he taunted Negrim, a large number of nobles and civilians who knew nothing would echo him, but this Once, when he was in the magic fair five years later, no one here would easily follow suit, not to mention that Marus's notoriety had already spread to everyone. In fact, when he started to provoke Negrim, the market The people who have been running away have already scattered, and no one came to see his performance.

The expression on Marus's face instantly turned ferocious because of the failure of the trick, but before he could reprimand his guards, Nigrim chuckled first, and walked towards him steadily and slowly.

The three of Abel immediately followed. Marus's physique is not as slender or fat as most nobles, but is extraordinarily strong. If he suddenly makes a move against Negrim, the latter will not be able to hold back even for a while, Nigg If Ream was really injured, Abel didn't think he could resist killing the mindless nobleman.

Marus was taken aback by Negrim's approaching movement, and he wanted to back away for no reason, but this time he forcibly held back, looking directly into Negrim's eyes with hatred.

Nigrim stood still two meters in front of him, and said softly: "Pavoni, there is no need for you to remind me of the past, because I remember everything and everything clearly, and I have never Nothing has changed, what I was in the past is what I am now.”

Negrim couldn't help laughing at Marus's eyes, and he said, "You should really look in the mirror and see your expression now, my God, don't you always think that I used to be in the capital? Are you afraid of your Pavoni's power?"

"Pavoni? Power? Hahahahaha..."

Negrim restrained the smile on his face, looked straight at Marus, and said: "I didn't resist in the past, and it's actually a reason to linger in Hugh Nuoding's house. It's not you who want Hugh Nuoding's property. Marus Pavoni, not to mention the group of rats, but the man sitting in the palace now."

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how helpless Negrim, who inherited the title of Hugh Nuoding, will never watch Marus attack Hugh Nuoding, and as long as he resists, Hugh Nuoding's family will will not fail.

But there is no way, before Negrim became Earl Hugh Nordin, he had already seen the other party's purpose in the eyes of the king. Negrim was brought up as a puppet, and his role was to It is just to warn those greedy emerging nobles that he cannot and has no way to resist the exploitation that will come sooner or later. If he has a little intention of resisting, he may lose his life in the next second. Negrim could only Take the time to use the power that is still in his hands, to understand some things that he was not qualified to understand in the past.

At that time, Negrim didn't pay attention to Marus and those nobles who couldn't see anything clearly, but Marus' behavior did speed up the decline of Hugh Nordin's family, which led to the failure of power in Nigrim. No matter how long Rem kept it in his hands, from this point of view, he still succeeded in disgusting Negrim.

When Nigrim said this, Marus was stunned. He never expected that the things at the beginning would have a completely different appearance, but what Nigrim said made him unable to doubt it at all. thought.

Intuitively, he knew that what Negrim said was true, and that all these years of pride were nothing but his self-righteousness.

Negrim smiled and said, "Then, guess what, why do I come back in such a ostentatious way?"

why?Because he no longer needs to be afraid of the person who has been threatening him, that person is not Marus Pavoni, but the king who is sitting in the palace right now, Duo Melwes!

Negrim's aura and his words forced Marus to gasp in shock. When he came back to his senses, he was obviously taller than Negrim by half a head, but now he couldn't restrain himself because of the shocking truth. Trembling slightly.

Marus stared at Negrim in horror, pointed at him and shouted, "What are you talking about?! You, do you want to—do you want to rebel?! "

As soon as Negrim showed a regretful expression, Marus couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed: "What are you waiting for! Go! Go! Kill this traitor! Kill him! "

If it was at the beginning, Marus ordered the group of guards to kill Earl Hugh Nordin, they would never have dared to obey, but Nigrim did not hide his volume when he spoke, and they all heard it, although Nigrim Strictly speaking, Graham's words were not up to the standard of rebellion, but they did show contempt for the king and hints of rebellion. After a little hesitation, the chief guard gave a loud shout and led the guards towards Negrim. past.

There were ten guards and two attendants brought by Marus. He brought so many people on purpose. He originally wanted to order them to "teach" Negrim a lesson, but he didn't expect to fight immediately. .

He was happy at the beginning, thinking that twelve vs. three had the upper hand. His head of the bodyguard was even a swordsman. It was easy to kill the cripple of Hugh Nuoding's family, but he didn't expect that things would develop as he imagined. On the contrary, Negrim was taken away from the battle circle by Abel at the moment of the conflict. The dwarf yelled and shook his fist at the guards, and the elf who looked like a little boy also moved quickly. Walking through the crowd, several of them were knocked down in a short while, and it looked like it was going to be a two-on-twelve!

Of course, Negrim would not make them so shameless. Soon, Abel also joined the battle at his request, and easily knocked down the leading swordsman. Ruth grabbed hold of him and pinned him to the ground.

Marus screamed and struggled, but he couldn't shake Abel's iron-like hands at all. When he pushed to the extreme, all kinds of ugly market swear words came out of his mouth, which made those who thought nobles were noble and noble. The educated man was dumbfounded.

After all, he is an emerging nobleman without any background.

The foul words in Marus's mouth stopped abruptly, and he saw a pair of exquisite leather boots appearing in front of his eyes.

It's Negrim.
