Lord: More Children, More Blessings, Build A Family Of Gods
Chapter 104 The Duke Comes, Inheritance-Level Magic Armor
One week later.
A group of knights, who appeared to be extremely elite, arrived at Eagle City.
"Halt!"
"Eagle City is under full martial law. Outsiders are prohibited from entering the city."
Seeing these unfamiliar knights approaching, the city guards responsible for guarding the city gate immediately shouted loudly.
At the same time, the guards operating the magic crystal cannons on the city wall turned the barrels towards these cavalrymen.
They began to charge up.
Once they detected any intention of the other party to continue advancing, they would immediately open fire and annihilate them.
This was Rennes' order.
Now that the magical disaster was getting worse and the situation was becoming more severe.
In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from infiltrating the city and causing chaos.
And to prevent demon worshippers from capturing the city.
Now, Habs has implemented martial law in all major cities under his control.
The inspections for entering and leaving the cities are very strict.
Except for the local residents of Habs' territory.
Others are no longer allowed to enter and leave the cities of the Habs family at will.
Feeling the strong threat emanating from the cylindrical object on the city wall.
The group of knights immediately stopped their footsteps.
They dared not approach rashly anymore.
Then.
A middle-aged man wearing a mage robe, exuding the aura of a superior, stepped forward and spoke to the city gate guards:
"I am Loretta, the head of the Duke Solorg family. I have urgent matters to see Duke Rennes."
Upon hearing this.
The city guards still showed no intention of letting them through.
After all.
Who knows if what this person in front of them is saying is true or false.
They asked the Solorg family members to wait.
Several city guards immediately sent one person to the Habs Manor to report this matter.
Habs Manor.
Rennes was having afternoon tea with his wives in the courtyard.
After a while.
The butler hurriedly walked in.
"Lord Rennes, Duke Laoreta of the Solorg family suddenly came to visit and said he wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Rennes was somewhat surprised.
He couldn't remember having a deep relationship with Duke Laoreta.
At most, they had a chance encounter at a previous royal banquet.
Why would Duke Laoreta suddenly come to visit him?
He wondered.
In the end, Rennes decided to meet with Duke Laoreta.
After all,
the situation outside was so bad,
and Duke Laoreta had come from afar to visit him, so maybe there was something important to discuss.
"Verify the identity of Duke Laoreta! If there are no issues, bring him in," Rennes said.
"Yes!"
The butler nodded.
Immediately, he walked out.
Ten minutes later,
a dignified middle-aged man with purple hair was brought before Rennes by the butler.
This was the current Duke Laoreta of the Solorg family.
This duke was quite famous within the Kingdom of Lance.
Not only was he a 12th-level grand mage,
but he was also a very skilled master of magical weapon crafting.
He had once created a legacy-level staff called the Eternal Frost, which shook the Kingdom of Lance.
"Duke Rennes, long time no see!"
As soon as he entered, Duke Laoreta immediately greeted Rennes with a smile.
With such enthusiasm from the other party,
Rennes naturally wouldn't be impolite and responded immediately.
After a brief chat and exchange of pleasantries,
"Duke Laoreta, do you have any important matters for visiting today?"
Rennes didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and directly asked.
Upon hearing this,
Duke Laoreta's expression immediately became serious.
"Duke Rennes, I have come for a marriage alliance.
"My eighth daughter, Cecilia, has reached the age to marry.
"I would like to find a good husband for her. Duke Rennes, are you interested in marrying my daughter?"
After speaking, Lord Laureta also mentioned Cecilia's personal qualities.
She possesses exceptional magical talent, a sweet appearance, and is a fifth-level mage.
She perfectly meets Duke Rennes' requirements for a wife.
Clearly, she has been carefully selected as a marriage candidate for Duke Rennes.
"Marry me?!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Duke Rennes' eyes.
With the current chaos outside, everyone is busy strengthening their armed forces to defend against the demon army's attacks.
Yet, the Solorg family has come to seek a marriage alliance with him?
This is obviously abnormal.
Most likely, they have some ulterior motive.
He did not rush to make a decision.
He planned to first listen to what Lord Laureta wants.
Could it be that he wants to obtain his military assistance through this marriage alliance?
If that's the case, he definitely cannot agree.
The external situation is so critical right now.
He also has his own wife, children, and family to protect.
Unless necessary, he will not leave the Habsburg family's territory.
As expected.
Lord Laureta's next words confirmed his speculation.
Not long ago, the destruction of the Duke of Iglenn's family sounded the alarm for the Solorg family.
Indeed.
Lord Laureta has come from afar to seek a marriage alliance with Duke Rennes of the Habsburg family.
Hoping to obtain the military assistance of Duke Rennes, who is capable of slaying the projection of a demon lord.
To ensure the stability of their family.
"With the current chaotic situation outside, I have no intention of taking a wife."
"Let's discuss this matter later."
After listening to Lord Laureta's words, Duke Rennes shook his head and politely refused.
"If Duke Rennes is willing to marry my daughter and help my Solorg family through this difficult time,
"I am willing to offer a legacy-level magical armor as my daughter's dowry."
Upon hearing Duke Rennes' direct refusal, Lord Laureta did not give up.
Once again, a higher price was offered.
He didn't believe that Rennes could remain unmoved by this.
You should know.
Inheritance-level magical weapons are not something easily obtained.
Even in the entire Kingdom of Lance, there are only a few.
The newly rising Habs family doesn't even have one.
The Storm Greatsword in Rennes' hands is only a fine-level magical weapon.
This shows the preciousness of inheritance-level magical weapons.
Even if Loretta himself is a master weapon maker.
It is still extremely difficult to create an inheritance-level magical weapon.
Not only does it require a large amount of precious materials, the success rate is also not more than thirty percent.
It must be said.
In order to obtain Rennes' military assistance, Duke Loretta has spared no expense.
Upon hearing this.
Rennes couldn't help but be tempted.
However.
After thinking for a moment.
In the end, he firmly chose to refuse once again.
Because he couldn't abandon his duty to protect his wife and children for the sake of an inheritance-level magical armor.
If something were to happen to his wife and children because of this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Furthermore.
As a man with a golden finger.
He believes that he will never lack weapons of this level in the future.
If he refuses, then he refuses.
There's nothing to regret.
"Duke Rennes, don't you want to think about it anymore?"
Seeing Rennes decisively and resolutely reject the offer he made, Duke Loretta couldn't help but be astonished.
"No need to think! I cannot agree to this."
After saying that, Rennes immediately prepared to see his guest off.
But Duke Loretta was unwilling to leave like this.
Since he couldn't obtain Rennes' military assistance.
Then he would seek an alternative.
Before coming here, he had prepared more than one plan.
