On the outskirts of Dongcheng, there is a huge manor. Its owner is the current Lord of Dongcheng. It is said to be a suburb, but it is actually just a little far away from Hope City. Now, the entire area within a thousand miles of Hope City has been cleaned up, and there are still troops on the outermost edge.
The blockade has been implemented, so people can live with peace of mind. There are many farmers near the manor, barely forming a small village. Moreover, Hope City encourages land development and has many welfare policies.
It's a bit far to go. Back at the manor, a beautiful pregnant woman was making her last efforts. A man in his thirties walked anxiously in the hall, with a resolute Chinese character written all over his face.
Anxious and uneasy, it goes without saying that he is the husband of the pregnant woman, the current Lord of East City, and the current patriarch of the Lester family, Lester Jay. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, has a strong physique, and his thick arms seem to be full of explosive energy.
He has sexual power, but after becoming the city lord, he neglected to exercise a little, and his belly became slightly fatter, but this did not affect his aura as a superior.
"Can't you sit down? My head hurts from walking."
The speaker was an old man, with a long scar on his face that looked very ferocious. He was holding a huge broad-blade sword with both hands. Even if he put it in the sword holster, he could feel the murderous aura emanating from that sword. I don’t know.
How many people's blood did this sword drink before it turned into such a murderous weapon? He is Jay's father and the previous head of the Lester family. He is a famous mad god (senior berserker) in East City and even the entire Hope City.
Title, ability level (gold one star) Lester Dragon.
The old patriarch has handed over the power to his son, and he has lived a semi-reclusive life. He will only take action when the family needs it. Although he seems to be sitting calmly on the sofa, his fingers keep tapping the hilt of the sword to betray him.
relieved his inner uneasiness.
"Dad, do you think Angela will be fine? She's been here for so long. I told her that her current body is not suitable for childbirth, but she insisted on giving me another daughter. She also blamed me. Why did she do that so much?
She said she wanted a daughter, if..."
"Shut up!"
"dad……"
"I told you to shut up. Are you annoyed? All we can do now is wait quietly. Where has your kid's usual city gone?"
"yes."
Our Lord City Lord can only sit quietly now, clasping his hands, tapping his feet constantly, and looking in the direction of the delivery room from time to time. The Lord City Lord who usually gives advice is now as honest as a child.
Hi, the old man looked at his son who was being scolded and could only sigh helplessly. He said in a calm tone:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've sent Simon to the city to ask the Holy Knight Commander of the Temple. If anything happens, his healing skills will definitely solve it. He should be on his way back now. Nothing bad.
Worrying, yes! There’s nothing to worry about.”
The old man repeated it at the end, as if to make himself more convinced that there was nothing to worry about.
"Master Paladin has arrived!" the servant outside shouted loudly.
The door of the hall opened, and a sturdy middle-aged man, about the same height as the city lord, with a resolute Chinese character face, carrying a huge cross behind him, walked in with steady steps, followed by another
A middle-aged man in simple clothes.
The master only saw the person walking in, and stood up to greet him. The city lord also rushed to the knight's side and said, "Brother, if anything happens, I'll rely on you."
"Little York, please run away."
"Uncle Long said this a bit out of the blue. Our families are family friends, and Jie and I are as close as brothers. This small favor is nothing, not to mention that we have nothing to do now."
This paladin commander is called York Jones and the city lord have been friends since childhood. He is two years older than the city lord, so the city lord calls him his eldest brother.
The Lester family and the York family are both big families in the East City, and there are only a few families that can rival them in the East City. Jones is the core figure of the York family, not only because the current patriarch of the York family is his brother, but also because Jones is the core figure of the York family.
He is also the youngest high-level Paladin so far, and became one of the four major leaders of the Saint Hall at the age of only 35. Now at the age of 42, he still firmly holds the top spot among the Paladins, and no one can shake him.
Let’s talk about the management mechanism of each hall. In each hall or hall, there will be a hall master, two deputy hall masters, 4 heads, and many elders. The hall master is usually an old senior with high moral standing and superior strength.
Although they have the most power, they basically do not manage affairs. One of the two deputy palace masters manages finances, and the other manages people. Although their strength is not necessarily strong, and some are not even cultivators, they require strong management capabilities.
Generally, they are recommended by the hall master. The four positions are selected based on strength. There is one person for each occupation (except Killing God Hall). They are basically the four strongest people currently in service. They are directly responsible for managing all personnel under their occupation. The elders are retired.
They are not directly involved in management, but they supervise things in the palace. If more than half of the elders veto anything, the execution will be postponed, and if more than three-quarters of the elders veto it, it will be directly vetoed. And Jones
He is the senior manager responsible for managing all the Paladins, which shows his great power and personal strength.
"Simon, you have nothing to do here. You can go down." Seeing the person standing at the door, the city lord ordered.
Although Simon was only the groom of this manor, he was a person trusted by the city lord. His father used to be a teammate of Mr. Long, and he also had considerable strength. Unfortunately, he died during a mission. Before his death, he passed away his wife.
The old man entrusted his son to Mr. Long. The old man arranged for Simon’s mother and Simon to do some chores in this manor. It was not too tiring and they had a job that could support themselves. Simon also grew up with the city lord and Knight Commander Jones.
Yes, it was just because of the difference in status that he behaved more humbly. It was because he had no talent for cultivation that he ended up becoming the groom of this manor.
"Wait a minute, Simon, are my siblings also going to have a baby soon?" The city lord suddenly remembered something and asked.
"I'm worried, Lord City Lord. The doctor said it's only for the past few days." Simon replied.
"You said you were always so rigid. There are no outsiders here, so you can't just be the same as before." The city lord seemed dissatisfied with the satisfactory answer.
"That's not possible, you are now the city lord..."
"Okay, okay, okay, I can't convince you, you go down. Just remember to treat us to a wedding banquet after the baby is born." The city lord interrupted Simon's reasoning.
"Uncle Long, Knight Commander, I will retreat first." Simon bowed slightly and walked out of the living room, closing the door.
"Hey, dad, look at Simon, you are always like this. You can be treated like a relative and uncle, and you are always respectful to us. I feel so uncomfortable." The city lord sighed and turned back to Mr. Long.
"Okay, please don't worry about Simon. That's just his character. You should think about the inside first." Mr. Long said while pointing in the direction of the delivery room.
The city lord suddenly became nervous again and began to walk around the living room.
After Simon exited the living room, he went straight to the stable, but his mind had already flown back home. Just when he came back, he heard from other servants that a message came from his home that his wife's water had broken.
She is already giving birth.
When Simon returned to the stable, he simply packed up his things and ran home quickly. People would ask why he didn't ride a horse. In Simon's heart, all the horses in the stable belong to the city lord. No matter how good the relationship is, he is still a servant.
, so you can’t use the city lord’s horse privately. Even if the city lord doesn’t blame you, you won’t do it yourself.
After running for nearly half an hour, Simon finally returned home. His wife's labor was not over yet, and it seemed that she was having a difficult delivery. Because he could not enter the delivery room, he walked around in the room. After another half an hour, he finally arrived in the delivery room.
The cry of a baby was heard. After a while, the midwife came out and held a baby in her arms.
"Congratulations! It's a boy." the midwife said when she saw Simon outside the delivery room.
Simon immediately ran over and was speechless looking at the little baby. Then he realized that his wife was still inside and rushed into the delivery room regardless of the baby in the midwife's hands.
"You can't go in. It's unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room." The midwife shouted to Simon who was about to walk inside.
"What's auspicious or unlucky?" Simon ran to his wife regardless of the midwife's words. Seeing his wife's exhausted look, he felt uncomfortable.
"How do you feel?" Simon asked with concern, holding his wife's hand.
Simon's wife is called Lux. She used to work with Simon in the city lord's manor. She was a maid. Later, the two fell in love for a long time. After being matched by the city lord, the two lovers finally got married. After getting married, Lux resigned.
The maid's job was to take care of the housework at home and take care of Simon's mother, who had been ill in bed for a long time. Until Simon's mother passed away not long ago, she was not so tired. The originally beautiful face was now filled with wrinkles.
"Where is our child?" Lux slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she said when she saw her husband was to ask about the child.
Only then did Simon remember that the child was in the hands of the midwife.
"Just wait."
Just as Simon was about to get up and go to find the midwife, he saw the midwife coming in with the baby in his arms. He took the baby from the midwife's hands and placed it next to his wife.
When Lux saw the sleeping child, she felt indescribably happy. She just held the child there, regardless of who else was in the room.
Simon took the midwife to the small living room, gave the midwife some wedding money, and asked for some precautions. After sending the midwife away, he returned to his wife's room, but as soon as he entered the room, he found that his wife was already sleeping with the child in her arms.
It’s on.
Simon walked over, covered his wife with a quilt, and then sat next to his wife with the child in his arms. He looked at his wife and the child from time to time, feeling indescribably satisfied.
