Chapter 70 Big Boy
Since Salosha had not returned from hunting yet, Atlam waited for three days in the Duke's Mansion.
During these three days, Atlam, who was idle, wandered around the Duke's Mansion for two casually.
But I discovered a very strange phenomenon.
Judging from the increasing number of soldiers and horses in the training ground in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion: In recent times, the Duke's Mansion has been recruiting soldiers.
What to do when recruiting soldiers?
The curious Atlam eavesdropped on the conversation between two senior generals, and a word he often hears is the word "gold".
Gold of the Orunian Empire.
"Duke Robert also wants to participate in the expedition plan of the Star Wind Kingdom and want to make a fortune in the Orunian Empire?"
Atlam guessed, but vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.
Because if you want to go to the Orunian Empire to plunder gold, you can just recruit soldiers and horses with great fanfare. Anyway, many nobles have been doing this recently, but Duke Robert is very low-key and quiet, giving people the feeling that he is secretly recruiting soldiers and horses.
Atlam also had two dinners with Duke Robert. Atlam wanted to ask Duke Robert, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan... After all, Duke Robert in front of him was a ruthless master.
Day 4.
"Young Master is back!"
"Young Master is back!"
Amid the voices of the servants.
Salosha, who went to hunt in other places, finally came back with prey under the guard of a group of followers.
Seeing his mother, Mrs. Shelley, who was greeting her at the door, Salosha jumped off the horse and said excitedly:
"Mom, I've come back after taking a lot of prey this time and returned with a full load!"
Mrs. Shelley stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Son, you've left for half a month. The beasts in the woods are dangerous. Don't go hunting every day, just spend more time with your wife Julie."
Hearing these nagging words, Salosha's face collapsed and she complained: "Mom, can you stop nagging? Didn't Julie have given birth to a boy for our family? Why do you always ask me to accompany her?"
"Let you have a few more children with her! The family's family business is so big, how can a boy be enough?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I'm so annoyed by you!"
Salosha shook his hand and didn't want to pay attention to his mother.
"You bastard, you are not interested in managing your territory or women. You are interested in hunting all day long. Can you be with your prey in the future? You are almost thirty years old, but you are still not sensible at all!"
Duke Robert came over and scolded his son.
"You old guy, I told you to leave me alone! I've grown up!"
Salosha directly confronted him.
"You grew up there? You are not as obedient as you were when you were a teenager. The older you are, the less distorted you are!"
"That's because I couldn't beat you at that time, but now I can! My fist is bigger than you! Why do you care about me?"
Salosha raised his fist and roared.
"You...you...boy, how dare you talk to you like this, I...I will beat you to death!" Robert was about to get angry, and his hand was directly on the sword around his waist, and he wanted to draw out the sword and teach this boy who disobeyed him a lesson!
"Odd, unload all the prey in the carriage, and we continue to hunt."
But Salosha didn't even shook his father, and turned to the entourage beside him and said.
"Young Master..." The follower Od looked embarrassed and was about to leave as soon as he came back. This...
"You boy, I've ruined you!"
Robert became even more angry. Now he really wanted to draw his sword and teach this inappropriate son a lesson.
However, the sword was halfway through.
He held him with one hand.
A voice came from my ears: "Duke up, it is normal for men to like hunting and adventure. Why hurt the harmony between father and son?"
"But this bastard goes out hunting every day and doesn't do any serious business!"
It seemed as if he had found a vent. In front of the outsider Atlam, Duke Robert couldn't help complaining and confide.
Atlam smiled awkwardly and said, "When I was twenty years old, my father often said this to me. In anger, I became an adventurer. I have been out there for twenty years and I still dare not go home. I am afraid that my father will kill me." His words were not made up, but true. He also considered finding a suitable time to go back to his hometown.
"this……"
Duke Robert was stunned and found that he had found the wrong partner to talk to.
"So my advice is: Between restricting hunting and son, it is more important for sons to be restricted." Atlam said.
Mrs. Shelley next to her panicked and pulled Duke Robert and said, "Dear, let me go if I like hunting, please stop talking about him!"
Besides, my son is gone!
Duke Robert's anger disappeared in half. He was just one son. What should he do if he scolded him?
So he didn't dare to scold him anymore, he withdrew his sword and glared at his son.
Salousha's attention was completely diverted to Atlam.
"Hey, who are you? Why did you show up at my house?" Salosha developed a strong interest in this adventurer who claimed to have been out there for twenty years.
Seeing the green robe he was wearing again, with a hand-shaped badge on his chest, Salosha said in surprise: "Are you also a magic net walker and a person from the guild?"
"Yes, Master Salotha, my name is Atlam. I am a magic net walker from the main continent and an adventurer who has been exploring for many years."
"I came to Domiwaga this time to perform a special task, and also wanted to make more friends and learn more about the situation here."
Atlam revealed his own way.
Main continent?
Adventurer?
Special mission?
These words immediately attracted Salosha.
Salosha developed a huge interest in the stranger in front of him who was somewhat similar to him.
He walked over, grabbed Atlam's sleeve, and pulled him into the Duke's Mansion:
"Friends from afar, I welcome you very much. I am very interested in the main continent and your adventures. Can you tell me the story of your adventure outside?"
"There is a great pleasure, Master Salotha."
Very good start.
Within a very short time of meeting, Atlam established a good impression in the heart of the target person, Salosha, and became a good friend.
In the next three days, the relationship between the two improved by leaps and bounds.
It’s even a “good friend” who eats, sleeps, and plays together.
Especially after learning that Atlam was 10 years older than him, Salosha often called him "Brother" and called him very friendly.
During these three days, Atlam also basically told Salousha about the customs and customs of the main continent, his 20-year adventure outside, and all the interesting things. He was fascinated by the sound of his eyes, and his eyes were full of longing.
I also often ask questions like Atlanum:
"Brother, I'm almost thirty years old, so it's boring to go out hunting every day. Can I go out to adventure like you?"
"Well……"
Atlam thought for a while and said, "Age is not a problem. As long as your body is energetic enough, you can go out and take risks even in your forties or fifties. However... your situation is different from mine. You have parents who love you, you have a wife and son. You can't leave it alone, that will deeply hurt them."
"But such a life is not what I want! I can't live like this in my life!"
"But the outside world is very dangerous, and you don't have enough ability. In the face of various dangers, you may never come back."
"I'm not afraid. I'm a Level 4 Magic Net Walker, I'm the 'Kingdom No. 1'. No one is my opponent. I have the confidence to deal with all kinds of challenges!"
"Haha, the kingdom is the best?"
Atlam smiled sarcastically and shook his head, "Brother, it's not that I want to hit you. There are many outside people who are taught a lesson very badly."
"Brother, are you underestimating me?"
Salosha's expression became very serious and said solemnly: "I want to challenge you, I want to defeat you! Let you see my strength!"
"Okay, I want you to see what it means to have someone outside of people, there is a heaven outside of heaven."
