Chapter 337: A Man Like an Eagle
“If there is any big event in the wilderness recently, it is undoubtedly the wedding of Lord Levi, the pioneer baron of Derby, the lord of Highcliff Castle, the eagle of the kingdom, the only dragon knight in the world, the lion hunter knight of the north, the uncrowned king of the wilderness, the leader and protector of the border human races, and the perfect husband in the hearts of countless girls.”

Today was another ordinary day. If there was anything to be happy about, it was that today was a rare sunny day. A rabbit man was lying on a pile of weeds outside the tribe, basking in the sun. He was somewhat dissatisfied that his nap was disturbed by the three big black guys in front of him of unknown origin.

However, under the pressure of the Jin Ke that was shining in the air, it still answered the other party’s question.

Although these are what it had heard from others before, it does not affect its use of them.

“Oh my God! So many people are getting married on the same day?” exclaimed a sturdy man wearing a thick bearskin cloak and with his hair tied into braids.

“You idiot! These are all the titles of our great Lord Levi!” Pedius’ nose was crooked with anger. He jumped up and punched the other person hard in the chest.

But soon he had to cover his red fist and blow on it, as if he had punched a stone.

“You lowly bastard!” The big man with braids had to be patient in communicating with a rabbit man who was as lowly as a dog.

Now that he was being scolded and punched, how could he bear it? He drew out his sword and wanted to chop the other person.

Pidius was shocked when he saw the long sword flashing with silver light, but he still stiffened his neck and maintained his dignity: “Fool, the eldest sister of my grandmother’s son’s daughter is Lord Levi’s personal maid. If you kill me, you will never be able to leave this wilderness!”

The rabbit man has always been very timid. In the past, he would never dare to speak to people like this, but now he has a backer!

Because Lord Levi selected several rabbit people to serve as maids, most of the rabbit tribes in the wilderness seemed to have a second spring, and everyone was extremely respectful to them.

It’s just a pity that its mother was not favored by the lord, otherwise it would not continue to stay in this remote place, but go to High Cliff Castle to enjoy a good life.

The strong black man with braids was indeed stunned at first, thinking that this rabbit man really had some powerful background. However, he didn’t expect that his remote relative was just a maid. Feeling that he was being fooled, he became even more furious.

“Enough, please stop this rude behavior!” A slightly short, thin young man wearing a turban stopped the big black man.

He frowned slightly. The commotion here had attracted the attention of other people in the rabbit tribe.

“Mr. Bunnyman, we are three poor merchants who got lost in the wilderness. We are hungry and thirsty. Could you please let us rest here for a day?” Kemish smiled. “Don’t worry, we will never be stingy with the reward. We can give you money or anything else.”

Originally, Pidius wanted to refuse, but when he saw the bag making the pleasant and crisp sound, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.

Its eyes rolled around, “I’m not the tribe leader, so I can’t promise you anything, but if you’re willing to pay me a silver gram, I’ll introduce you to our tribe leader.”

“It’s very simple.” Kemish nodded and handed over an old silver coin.

The three of them soon met the chief of the tribe, an old rabbit man with both of his front teeth missing and who was leaning on a walking stick.

Every year, merchants from the south come to the wilderness to trade with these tribes. However, it is a little strange that there are still merchants coming to the wilderness when it is snowing heavily.

However, faced with the temptation of money, no one can refuse. Even the people in the wilderness know the function of these round things the size of a toe.

“Okay, but you have to leave early tomorrow morning.” The old patriarch took the purse, but only took out a silver coin from it and handed the purse back, which surprised Kemish a little.

“There is an unused underground wooden house next to us. You can move in after a little cleaning.” The old rabbit chief carefully instructed, and finally remembered something, and warned with a serious face: “You’d better not go after those young female rabbits! Otherwise, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”

The three of them looked at the rabbit girl covered in snow-white fur in the distance and felt insulted. Who would like such a furry thing?

After they nodded in agreement, they returned to the room the old rabbit man mentioned.

Pedius watched their disappearing backs, immediately returned to his room and began to pack his luggage, putting all his belongings into the bag, carrying it on his back, and when no one was paying attention, he headed south alone.

These three people are definitely not businessmen!
It has lived in the wilderness for so long, but has never seen such a shady businessman. Moreover, as soon as he arrived, he inquired about all kinds of information about Gaoya Castle and asked if there were any powerful nobles in the wilderness. All this showed that the other party definitely had bad intentions!

They can’t fool the clever Lord Pidius!

It planned to go to Highcliff Castle and tell the real master of the wilderness about these evil-minded guys. It didn’t ask for much, just hoped that Lord Levi would take its mother as a maid, so that its status would rise instantly.

No one will call it stupid Pidius anymore, but smart Pidius!
Pedius jumped in the snow, and his figure gradually disappeared on the horizon.

The thick snow is undoubtedly a harsh environment for other people, but for the rabbit people with strong jumping ability, it can not only reduce the impact of each fall, but the white snow can also provide them with protection.

……

Kemish sat on the tattered chair that had just been cleaned. He took off the bearskin cloak he was wearing and put it on the fire in the middle to dry. The gold and silver-inlaid silk satin robe underneath was revealed, and there was a golden whip badge engraved with exquisite patterns hanging on his chest.

Scholars who know something about the Seven Kingdoms would easily recognize that this badge is an aristocratic badge belonging to the Eastern Persian Gulf Kingdom.

Kemish is the Persian Gulf Empire from the east of Derby. This country ranks third among the seven countries in terms of military strength, weaker than Telesi but slightly stronger than Derby.

As a direct grandson of one of the eight major families in the empire, his aunt is even a royal Salama, or a princess in Debe’s terms. She is a true aristocrat. Labels such as “natural nobleman”, “bright future”, “honored status” and “above all others” are simply synonymous with people like them.

Unfortunately, things are far from as glorious as outsiders think.

Thanks to the fact that his father was a strong and vigorous warrior, he had seven or eight brothers, and the limited fiefdoms. Some of them would own a rich earldom, while others could only own a barren border area.

And Kemish is this unfortunate person.

Several of his brothers were granted rich territories and had countless slaves to serve them, but he was the only one who was sent to a remote place facing the sea.

When he received the appointment letter from his father, he knew that he had been abandoned by the family.

The reality is cruel. Even if he comes from a prominent family, the family needs some people to stay in a mediocre position for their entire lives.

It was obvious that he was the one who worked the hardest and his blood energy cultivation was the highest among his peers. He once thought that if he worked hard enough, people would take notice of him and allocate more resources to him, but the prejudice in people’s hearts was like a mountain.

Just because his mother was an ordinary freeman of the empire, no matter how hard he tried, he, who had some civilian blood in his body, was destined to never sit in a high position. But Kemish was not a person who would only complain about the world. Living in a remote corner of the country, he was destined to be a country lord there for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he began to actively train slave soldiers, develop territory, and prepare military affairs, so that if a war broke out in the future, he would be able to earn a large amount of territory, slaves, and honor.

His dream was to become the biggest slave owner like the first king of the Persian Gulf Empire.

All of this was not just his groundless imagination, but had a solid basis in reality.

In recent years, the borders of the seven countries have been very tense. After all, the internal resources have been almost consumed, and they can only expand outward. No one can tell when the war will break out.

By then, he, a country slave owner, would be able to fly into the sky and turn into a dragon, becoming a well-known slave owner in the Persian Gulf Empire.

But the only problem is that no matter it is elite soldiers, sophisticated weapons and equipment, or sufficient supplies, they all require one thing – money!

Although as a legitimate nobleman, he could get some money from his family every once in a while, or get support from slave soldiers.

But this little bit of stuff can’t satisfy the money-eating behemoth that is the military.

So he also started to capture slaves and sell them everywhere.

Whether it is the desert savages, the forest orcs, or the blood elves, they are all within his target.

Unfortunately, problems soon followed. As a country where almost all the people were slaves and slave owners, the Persian Gulf Empire had more wolves than meat, and the high-quality slaves had already been coveted by others.

Just when the plan came to a standstill, he happened to see the neighboring country of Debe on the map. If he remembered correctly, the vast wilderness to the north of the country had always been an unowned land, like a new continent for anyone to explore.

He seemed to see a blueprint of inestimable value.

So he began to build ports near the sea in his territory and construct ships capable of sailing on the sea.

When everything was ready, he led his elite slave soldiers across the storm and over the turbulent waves to a place called the God-forsaken Narrow Sea in Debe. Fortunately, their Persian Gulf Empire was the strongest country in maritime trade, with ships and sailors that were ahead of the seven countries, and the nautical charts were the most accurate, so they reached their destination with almost no losses.

He built a simple port here and had his soldiers stationed there, preparing to completely treat this place as his own backyard.

“Master, why didn’t you let me chop off that damn rabbit man just now?” The burly man with braids asked in confusion, leaning his two-handed sword against the wall.

Kemish was awakened from his deep thoughts and simply explained: “There are at least several hundred rabbit people in this tribe. Can you guarantee that you can keep all of them?”

“Our soldiers have received the news and should be here tonight. We will kill them all by then and take the female bunnymen back to the country and sell them to those brothels.”

Although he didn’t like these rabbit people, there was no guarantee that the perverted nobles in the country would like them.

Anyway, he brought enough merchant ships this time, and it is not certain whether the slave cabins can be filled.

“What about the pioneer baron that the other party mentioned?” the black man with braids continued to ask.

Speaking of this, Kemish couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “These country bumpkins described him as very powerful, like a man like an eagle, as if a god had descended.”

“But at home, wasn’t a tax collector I sent out also described in this way by those slaves?”

“However, we will find out the truth after interrogating a few rabbit people.”

After all, Kemish was cautious. Although he thought that it was related to development and he was a baron, it was almost obvious that his military strength was extremely poor. He had only a few hundred country guards at most, but the most taboo in war was to underestimate the opponent.

A lion also uses all its strength when hunting a rabbit.

……

In order to celebrate the marriage of their lord, Highcliff Castle held an unprecedented grand wedding banquet.

The snow in the entire Gaoyabao territory was swept away by the people. With Buji’s help, flowers bloomed even in the corners, making this place incompatible with the ice and snow outside, as if it was a fairyland isolated from the world.

A five-colored ribbon several thousand blades long was hung from icicles across the sky above High Cliff Castle, rustling in the cold wind and as dazzling as a rainbow.

Whole heads of cattle and sheep were put on the grill, dripping with fat under the burning charcoal fire.

The lids of huge barrels of beer were opened and poured into the stomachs of the big-bellied men in Highcliff Castle like water.

This was the most festive day. Both the Highcliff Castle blacksmith shop and the iron mine in the Cass Mountains stopped working for a day. Even the slaves were given a glass of inferior beer, and they all excitedly shouted for the lord’s mercy.

The hall was filled with leaders and soldiers of Gaoya Castle, and even the outside was surrounded by the people.

They all turned their excited gazes on the two people standing on the makeshift wooden platform.

Their lord was wearing a flamboyant tuxedo. The bunch of rough guys were used to seeing their boss wearing leather armor and armor, and they felt that this was too effeminate, and they complained about it in private.

The future Lady of Highcliff Castle wore a blue and white halter dress with waist-length snow-white hair. She was as beautiful as a daughter of the North.

Since there are no priests in Gaoya Castle, the lord is planning to combine Chinese and alien elements.

The earth elf Leiden, dressed in a Debe costume, acted as the master of ceremonies instead of the priest, and simply explained the rituals of this world.

Naturally, the first thing that came to mind were the oaths that made the lord dizzy. There were no outrageous oaths like in his previous life that he had to take care of all the washing and cooking, and give the money to the other party to manage, and that he had to work hard and use all the money he earned to buy cosmetics for the other party… etc. At most, it was that both parties loved each other or something like that.
