Chapter 20: The Marquis’s Gift

At this time, although Lin Feng's study was relatively simple and far from worthy of his identity as a grand duke, he had at least complete bookshelf and daily furniture such as tables and chairs.

At this moment, in addition to Lin Feng, there was another person in the room, that is, the Marquis's butler Buffy, and there were two large boxes one tall and one short next to him.

Lin Feng glanced at Buffy and pretended to be puzzled and said, "I wonder why Mr. Buffy insisted on seeing me?"

"Go back to the snow demon wolf grand duke." Buffy's expression was quite rigorous. After doing a courtesy that Lin Feng could not find fault with him, he spoke: "The Marquis knew that the grand duke had just been granted, so he asked me to send two generous gifts to congratulate him. Because one of the gifts was too expensive, he was afraid that the servants would accidentally damage the gift, so he told me to hand it over to the grand duke himself in person."

"Oh?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue.

At the same time, he couldn't help but guess. Even if the Marquis had already determined that he was dead back then, he would definitely not be able to help but doubt when he heard the name "Lin Feng" again. After all, even on the entire continent, the name "Lin Feng. Dad" which is extremely special in both its name and surname will probably not be repeated at all!

Under such circumstances, he would actually give himself a valuable gift? Is it because he has water in his head?...or is he trying to test himself?

When Buffy heard Lin Feng's voice, he immediately turned around, bent down and lifted the shorter box himself, and then turned back and said respectfully: "This is the first generous gift given to the Grand Duke by the Marquis, one hundred kilograms of spices from the elf race."

At the moment he opened the box, Lin Feng obviously smelled a strong fragrance, and the source of this smell was the shorter box. Although he had never been exposed to spices from the elves before, he had at least heard of it.

The elves live in the distant northern forests, even further away than the extreme Arctic ice fields. They are a peace-loving race, but also a conservative and almost harsh race.

They never take the initiative to interact with other races, and have strong life abilities, magic abilities, and almost magical archery. Most importantly, they are extremely resistant to other races except their own race!

However, the quality of the spices they produce is at the top of the mainland. No matter how carefully humans cultivate them, they cannot produce the top spices made by elves. Therefore, many people have also put their ideas on the spices.

Since almost every elves is a powerful magician, they are extremely sensitive to magic elements, and the magic core of the monster happens to contain magic elements. The elves like to use the magic core of the monster as some decorations.

Therefore, many powerful super mercenaries have worked hard to cross the extreme northern ice field and come to the elves holy land, and exchange the magic cores of the monsters for the spices of the elves.

However, the extreme Arctic Ice Field is extremely dangerous, with countless high-level monsters hidden there. Any super mercenary group that can successfully cross the extreme Arctic Ice Field will not exceed three on the continent!

Moreover, they don’t know how many companions will die when they go. In addition, when they come back, they need to spend more manpower to transport spices from the elves, so that every time they travel through the Arctic Iceland, their strength will be greatly damaged. Sometimes when they are not lucky, they will be demoted from the super mercenary group to the large mercenary group.

Therefore, spices from the elves are extremely valuable!

Even, it is almost equivalent to gold!!

Recently, another super mercenary group has been preparing to cross the Arctic Iceland to exchange spices with the elves, but unexpectedly, this super mercenary group was unfortunately buried in the Arctic Iceland!

Lin Feng can only understand this as the blood burialist is in a bad mood, but in fact it is precisely because he worked hard to resurrect his lover for so many years, but the resurrected lover did not know him at all. Who would be in a good mood?

As a result, spices from the elves have become even more expensive, so in the past half month, this spice that has been circulated on the market has been hyped twice the price of gold!!

If the large box in front of me had a spice of 100 kilograms from the elves, then its value would naturally be worthless! Besides, the status of the marquis was there. Since it was said that it was a spice of the elves, it would definitely not be fake!

However, Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder, what does the Marquis mean? He was really willing to give himself such a valuable and 100 kilograms of spices?

This favor is so big! Hehe!

Although his heart was full of doubts, Lin Feng did not show it on his face, his face was still calm and calm, and he was not surprised by the 100 kilograms of spices from the elves. Instead, he looked gentle and even said to Buffy with a faint smile: "Thank you for the Marquis's good intentions. I hope Mr. Buffy will bring him after he returns."

"I will definitely convey the instructions of the Grand Duke for you." Buffy was a little surprised when he saw Lin Feng's calm expression. However, after saying this, he pointed to another big box and said: "This is the second generous gift given to the Grand Duke by the Marquis. Compared with the first gift, this generous gift is the Marquis' wish."

As he said that, he slowly walked to the second taller box.

Hearing Buffy's voice, Lin Feng didn't show anything on the surface, but his heart was already heavy. He could see that the precious spices in the first big box were just appetizers, perhaps to please him or other reasons, but the Marquis' real purpose must be in this second big box!

As Buffy slowly opened the second big box, Lin Feng subconsciously held his breath.

Buffy opened the second big box very slowly. Although he tried to make himself look respectful, Lin Feng still noticed that his eyes were aiming at him from time to time. As soon as the second big box was opened, even though Lin Feng was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but feel his blood surging!!

"Snow Demon Wolf Grand Duke."

Buffy bent down and stood next to the second big box, but his head was hanging down and staring at Lin Feng, but his voice was still respectful: "This is the second gift given to the Grand Duke by the Marquis. A red carved wooden chair from a famous master. Sitting on it can bring considerable benefits to the human body, but the red carved wooden chair is a very flammable material. However, the Grand Duke doesn't have to worry. This red carved wooden chair has three high-quality isolation stones inlaid on it. Even if it is still in the raging fire, it will never burn."

His voice was very calm, making people unable to hear any flaws, but it seemed extremely harsh when it fell into Lin Feng's ears.

Lin Feng knew that the Marquis must have no good intentions. As soon as he saw the red carved wooden chair, four big words suddenly appeared in his heart: So that's it!

Humph, did I give this red carved wooden chair on purpose to stimulate my memory many years ago or did I have other purposes?

Although this red carved wooden chair is expensive, it is far from the 100 kilograms of spices from the elves. But Buffy repeatedly emphasized that the red carved wooden chair is the most precious gift given by the Marquis. It is obvious that he was instructed by the Marquis. Then it seems... Buffy, the butler is far from being as simple as a butler...

Humph, this second generous gift is really heavy!!

Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface and said in a gentle voice: "Marquis is so polite. He actually gave me such an expensive gift! Bond, come, bring a chair for Mr. Buffy and let Mr. Buffy sit down and have a good rest!"

Immediately, Bond's answer came from afar.

After Buffy opened the second big box, he kept staring at the expression on Lin Feng's face, as if he wanted to detect something, but he found that there was still a smile on Lin Feng's face, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. When he heard Lin Feng's words, the doubt in his eyes became even stronger, and even he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

However, he is also a self-aware person. He is just a housekeeper. How dare he take a seat with the Snow Demon Wolf Duke in the residence of the Snow Demon Wolf?

So Buffy quickly stepped forward and said, "No need for a grand duke. Since I have brought the Marquis's generous gift safely, I will say goodbye first."

"Oh? Since that's the case...Bond, hurry up and prepare an invitation letter for Mr. Buffy and let Mr. Buffy take it back." Lin Feng couldn't help but show a look of regret on his face, and he hurriedly shouted to the outside.

Bond, who had already walked in with a chair outside, saw this, could only put down the chair in his hand, gave Buffy a kind smile, and asked him to wait for a moment, and then turned around to get the invitation letter.

Seeing this, Buffy hurriedly gave Lin Feng a respectful salute and then stepped down. After receiving the invitation letter from Bond, he left the Duke's mansion.

At this time, Lin Feng's face in the study room had become extremely gloomy!

Bond saw Lin Feng's unhappiness, stood quietly aside and didn't dare to say anything. He looked at the two big boxes next to him, and his eyes paused on the red carved wooden chair for a moment.

Lin Feng noticed Bond's eyes and said lightly: "You ask someone to move the spices first. As for this red carved wooden chair... well, just put it in front of my desk instead of the original chair."

"Yes." Bond responded quickly and went out to call someone.

Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but fall on the red carved wooden chair. He narrowed his eyes, thought quietly for a while, and then said: "Since this is the Marquis's wish, I will naturally not waste it."

...

At this moment, in the study of the Marquis' mansion.

"Master, I suspect that the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf seems to be not the same person as the guy five years ago." Buffy stood in front of the Marquis attacking, and analyzed carefully with doubts: "On the contrary, he looks like a person who has seen the world."

"Tell me, tell me all the details you see." The Marquis said lightly, and casually sorted out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Yes, master." Buffy gave a gift again, and then said: "In theory, the guy who died in the little lake five years ago was just a civilian, and a child. Although he was the same age as the Duke of the Snow Demon Wolf, his words and deeds were very different. First of all, he did not express any surprise to the 100 kilograms of spices you gave him. The calmness and calmness were not like a newcomer who was promoted by His Majesty."

"Well... this is nothing. I've seen his forbearance five years ago. Before turning against me, he didn't express any dissatisfaction at all." The Marquis nodded slightly and said, "What's his reaction when he saw that red carved wooden chair?"

"That's the blame here."

Buffy showed a slightly thoughtful look on his face. While recalling carefully, he said: "Even if five years have passed, I think his memory of the red carved wooden chair must be profound. However, when I took out the red carved wooden chair and told the benefits and disadvantages of the wooden chair, I did not notice anything unusual on his face. After hearing the benefits of the chair, he was happy to ask the servant to bring a chair to invite me to sit down..."

"Oh?" A look of confusion finally appeared on the Marquis' face. He subconsciously said oh, and then fell into silence.

Buffy, who was standing beside him noticed the Marquis's face and walked forward carefully and said, "Master, look... are we wrong? Even if the ninth-level strongman goes down, he will die without death! Will he just fit that person's name? Moreover, the calmness and calmness he showed are not as good as a person under seventeen years old.

Or, do you think... is he a son of His Majesty... and in order to create momentum, His Majesty let him replace that person's name and become the Grand Duke? After all,... this is the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf!"

Speaking of this, Buffy seemed to have thought of something and quickly added: "And... from his figure, he doesn't look like a person who is less than seventeen years old..."

When the Marquis heard this, he thought for a moment before saying, "According to Bill's confession, he was indeed arranged by Robert in the dormitory of the original man by the guy on the way. However, with His Majesty's current age, it is still a bit reluctant for the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf to say that he is His Majesty's son."

After saying this, the Marquis suddenly changed his tone and said decisively: "No, as long as there is a hint of suspicion, we must be careful. If it is really that person... we were not afraid of anything even if he was still alive, but now that he has become the Grand Duke of Snow Demon Wolf, we have to be careful!"

As he said that, he opened the invitation letter Buffy brought back and took a look, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Well... Didn't that guy Philip always want to seek revenge on me... Then I'll give him a chance!"

"Master, are you saying... at the banquet? It seems a bit unsuitable, right?"

After Buffy said these words, he didn't say it any more, but the Marquis nodded and said in a deep voice: "Not bad! Although it is indeed not suitable, he must test him... I heard that he was awarded the title of Duke of Snow Demon Wolf by saving His Majesty, and his strength must be great!

And the man from five years ago, even though he is still alive now, in just five years, no matter how talented he is, I don’t believe that he can break through to level 8. Moreover, that little guy seemed to be a magician at the beginning. Humph, how fast can the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts be..."

Buffy seemed a little worried: "Master, but... the Duke of Anne has reached the eighth level in just five years!"

"She? The reason why she can reach level 8 is another matter. You don't need to ask too much." After saying this, the Marquis took a light breath: "Okay, go down, and when Mark comes back from outside, you will let him see me!"

"Yes, master." Buffy sighed and slowly left the Marquis' study.

The Marquis sat and pondered for a moment before saying: "...Why is it so coincidental? Your name is Lin Feng, the strange name..."
