Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World
Chapter 100 Barnett
Bailan Castle had become a large barracks at this time, and the troops of the Kent family vassals gathered here one after another.
The nobles and knights who arrived first hunted or held martial arts competitions every day, and the quiet Bylan Castle in the past became extremely noisy.
On this day, Earl Kent held a banquet for the family vassals who had arrived in the castle hall.
While everyone was drinking the wine of the feudal lord, they scolded the lord of Alda and expressed their willingness to deal with this arrogant and rude boy for the feudal lord.
The reason for the war that the earl told the vassals was naturally not that the other party rejected some of his "requests", but under another banner:
Arda Lord Paul Graman placed Bayerding Lord Myron Garnard under house arrest and sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Bayerding by force. Bayerding's seal-keeper Viscount Angelo fled to Emden for help. Of course, the Kent family could not sit idly by and watch the Graman family's bullying behavior.
Angelo was also invited to attend the banquet.
Since the last meeting when the price was offered, the Earl has never summoned him again, and his request for a visit has fallen on deaf ears. Angelo's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and he is more desperate day by day.
Just when Angelo thought that the Earl of Kent was going to ignore him and make him feel discouraged and then leave, and he himself was indeed discouraged and began to pack up and think about moving to another place, the Earl sent someone to inform him to meet in the castle.
During this meeting, Angelo was told a piece of news that made him ecstatic. The Kent family decided to send troops to attack Alda and teach Paul Graman a lesson for his bullying.
Angelo suddenly felt that the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated. The Earl's face was not as bad as before, and the castle was not as gloomy as before.
The Kent family's subsequent series of actions made him more convinced that the Earl was going to use force. The knights and militia began to gather at Bailan Castle. If the Earl was still perfunctory, it would be impossible to make such a big scene.
Now he felt that Martz Kent was closer to him than his own father.
Before the banquet began, he was told to be fully prepared. Angelo understood and drafted for several days.
After the banquet began, in his impassioned speech, Paul Graman had become an unforgivable bastard, which stimulated some guys whose heads were burned by the spirit of chivalry (there are still such people) to be indignant and asked for battle.
Count Martz Kent squinted his eyes and sat in the first seat, tasting his "drink" while watching Angelo's performance.
The effect is good, hum! Graman, let's see what you do this time.
Just when he began to think about how to distribute the spoils, the butler came over quietly and whispered in his ear: "Master, Dr. Barnett is here."
Count Kent was startled and almost dropped the glass in his hand.
He hurriedly asked, "Did you invite him in?"
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember your instructions. I have asked him to wait for you in the small reception room at the back."
The Earl of Kent nodded, and he turned and waved to his son.
Jais quickly came to his father's side, and heard his father say, "You host the banquet for me. I have something important to do and must leave for a while."
After that, he got up and left in a hurry without waiting for Jais's response.
Jais looked at his father's back with a puzzled look on his face. In the past, when his father talked about "important matters", he would always consult with him. What happened today?
...
The Earl of Kent almost trotted to the door of the small reception room. He did not push the door in, but stood outside the door to tidy up his clothes.
Then he ordered the housekeeper: "Go find ten guards and lead them to guard here personally. No one is allowed to approach."
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper immediately went to find the guards.
After feeling that everything was in place, the earl stretched out his hand and gently opened the door.
A man in a black cloak was standing in front of a mural, seemingly admiring it. He just had his back to the door of the living room, and even when the door opened, the man had no intention of turning around.
Earl Kent closed the door of the living room, bent down to bow to the man, and greeted him softly: "Teacher Barnett, long time no see."
The Earl's posture and voice at this time were indescribably humble and respectful. If other people who knew the Earl, such as Angelo and Emerson, or even the Earl's own son Jais, heard him speak in this posture and tone, they would definitely be shocked.
The cloaked man then slowly turned around, took off the hood covering his head, and revealed his face.
This was a sturdy man in his forties, with no hair on his bald head, instead there were strange tattoo patterns, the lines of these tattoos extended downwards, passed through the face and formed patterns again, and then continued to extend downwards into the collar.
The tattoos looked like some kind of text, or some kind of symbol, revealing a sense of weirdness.
The man's eyes revealed a sense of indifference, an indifference that treated others as nothing. In short, he gave people the feeling that he had nothing to do with the profession of "healer".
"Marts, long time no see."
The cloaked man responded with a deep voice.
Earl Kent straightened up and walked to the man named Barnett, whom he called "teacher", and said, "Teacher, please sit down and talk."
No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6-9!
The man named Barnett nodded, walked to the seat and sat down, and Earl Kent then sat opposite him.
Without waiting for Earl Kent to speak again, Barnett said, "Marts, your physique and spirit are much better than when I left last time."
Earl Kent smiled and said, "Thanks to your careful guidance, the 'secret technique' you taught me is really useful. I feel younger and younger now." There was a hint of gratitude in his voice.
Unexpectedly, Barnett said, "I still want to remind you that everything is too much or too little. If you follow the method I taught you and practice the 'secret technique' step by step, you will naturally be able to achieve your wish, and at the very least, you can strengthen your body and prolong your life. But if you drink too much and are eager for success, you will bring yourself unimaginable disasters and even harm your family. In the end..."
Barnett said word by word, "You will not be who you are now!"
"I know, I will follow your instructions."
Earl Kent promised repeatedly, but he did not agree with the teacher's words in his heart.
Barnett asked again: "When I came here, I saw a lot of people gathered near your castle. What happened?"
Earl Kent replied: "No big deal, just dealing with a blind little lord."
Barnett asked: "So, you are going to attack another territory?"
Earl Kent admitted honestly: "Yes, teacher."
However, the other party's next words made him very confused: "Marts, stop this military action immediately. I came to the northwest for a mission. Don't make trouble for me."
Earl Kent asked quickly: "Why?"
But he reacted immediately: "Could it be? Could it be..."
The other party's words proved his guess: "Yes, the 'Secret Society' is going to take action in the northwest."
