Chapter 385: Sylvester Hook glanced at Dixon, thought for a moment, and said, "The Reading Division is the elite of the Tulip Family's private army, and if you can be the leading general of the Reading Division, you are naturally an important confidant of the family."
Moreover, this Reading Division is responsible for the border, in Nulin Province, leaving the family territory, it can be regarded as leading the army outside, can gain the trust of the family, put an elite main army into his hands, and let him boldly lead the army all the year round The so-called general is not subject to the life of the monarch outside, Sylvester must have an unusual status in the Tulip family. ” "That's not bad.
But this Sylvester is even more difficult. ” "Oh," Hook looked at Dixon in surprise.
In fact, Hook himself used to work in the tulip family's chamber of commerce when he was young, but later left the tulip family and went to the East China Sea to become a captain, incognito.
Speaking of which, he also knows a little bit about the Tulip family, but after all, he only worked in the local chamber of commerce, and he is still far away from the family's internal core affairs, and he really doesn't know much about this Sylvester person.
What's more, Hook is in his early forties, and it has been seventeen or eighteen years since he left the Tulip family, and when he left the family, Sylvester was not yet an adult, so he naturally didn't know the ins and outs.
Dixon had a strange smile on his face, looked around left and right, moved the chair closer to the table, and then lowered his voice and smiled: "This Sylvester was raised in the tulip family castle in Loulan City since he was a child. ” Hook had heard of this kind of thing.
As a family, the Tulip family has always had a tradition of keeping retainers, in fact, most of the top wealthy families in the empire did so.
A top wealthy family like the Tulip family will have many second-level families or traditional allegiance groups or forces that have grown up with the family.
These groups, speaking of which, are all in the era of the first Duke Tulip more than a hundred years ago, and the team of those confidants and military generals left by Du Wei, such as the dead Goth, Carman, Luo Xiaopu, etc., are all such backgrounds.
His ancestors were all loyal to Du Wei at the beginning, and after they grew old, the descendants who passed down the family have always been closely around the Tulip family.
And the Tulip family, the patriarch of each generation, will select their outstanding young descendants from these retainers who are loyal to their own forces, and at a very young age, they will be adopted to the Tulip family castle in Loulan City, and trained by the contemporary duke himself, so that the relationship between the two parties is not only the head of the family and the retainers, but also an additional layer of intimacy similar to that of master and apprentice, which can greatly enhance the intimacy of the bond between the two sides, and can also effectively protect the loyalty of these people to the family in the future.
This Sylvester is a member of this system that has grown up.
His background is different from that of Carmanro's puppy and goths.
Goths and a few of them are considered to be from famous families.
Not to mention the Goth, he has royal blood.
And Kaman and Luo Xiaogou are also the ancestors of the illustrious Kaman, and they are the number one leading general of the army under Du Wei back then, Longbottom, and the ancestor of Luo Xiaopu, needless to say, is Rodriguez, the master of the Holy Order in the Du Wei era.
In contrast, Silvestre's background is far less prominent, his ancestors did not belong to the ranks of those star-studded names in the Dewey era, and in the superstar-studded Dewey era, his ancestors were unknown in comparison, but I heard that his ancestors followed Dewey very early and were considered to be an older member.
However, when it came to Sylvester's generation, when he was young, he was selected into the inner courtyard of the Tulip family because of his outstanding qualifications, which can be regarded as a small cultivation group of young elites within the Tulip family.
Judging from the grade, Sylvester should have entered the inner courtyard of the Tulip family earlier than the Goths and was trained.
In fact, Sylvester was admitted to Tulip's house when he was nine years old.
At that time, Du Weiwei was not even born It can be said that he was brought up by the previous Tulip Duke, and has a deep relationship with the previous Tulip Duke, and his position in the Tulip family is also very important.
He entered the inner courtyard of the family at the age of nine, and was personally trained by the previous duke, and has always been very appreciated by the previous duke.
Even after he became an adult, according to the custom, once these children in the inner courtyard reached adulthood, they would be sent out by the family to be placed in various places and hold positions for training.
But because Sylvester was deeply loved by the previous duke, after he became an adult, he still stayed in the tulip family and continued to follow the duke, and was not appointed to a foreign position.
It wasn't until he was twenty years old that the previous duke let him out, but he still didn't leave Loulan City, the tulip family's stronghold, but let him enlist in the city guard of the capital city of the family domain, but he still stayed in the family to live Loulan City is the capital city of the Tulip family's territory, and the city guards stationed there are the most elite of the Tulip family's private army, Sylvester joined the army at the age of twenty, and in a few years he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to an officer at the deputy commander level.
But when he was twenty-five, something happened "What's going on?"
Hook wondered.
Dixon smiled lightly and drank a glass of wine, his expression becoming more exciting When Dixon was twenty-five years old, Du Weiwei had grown up at that time, although according to the tradition of the Roland people, he was not yet fifteen years old, and he had not reached the age of coming-of-age ceremony, but looking at his daughter who was already twelve or thirteen years old, the Duke at that time had already begun to plan for the future of his daughter, or rather, for the family I don't know why, the Tulip family is not prosperous, and almost every generation is a single lineage, so in the duke's generation, he only has a daughter like Du Weiwei, and he has not been able to regenerate a male for many years.
In this way, as the patriarch of the family, he has to make some plans for the future.
His child is a daughter, and if a daughter wants to inherit the duke title and inherit the family in the future, it will naturally be more difficult than a man, and she will face more ups and downs and troubles.
It is a good idea to choose a good husband for your daughter, as a strong support or as a foreign aid.
Hearing this, Hook's eyes widened: "The person chosen by the old duke is Sylvester" Dixon nodded silently.
Hook couldn't help frowning: "Where did you hear this kind of thing over the years, I don't know how many people use this kind of rumor to elevate their own identity, don't say it, just say that Panin, didn't the Garonin family also walk the rumor back then, saying that Panin was originally going to marry the heiress of the duchess of the Tulip family, but the Tulip family didn't have such plans at all, but the Garonin family deliberately misled the rumors in order to put gold on their faces."
"This Sylvester, but different," Dixon's expression was serious, his expression was by no means like a joke Sylvester remained until he was twenty-five years old, an adult man who, although serving as an officer in the city guard of Loulan City, still had his home in the Duke's Palace, and never moved away Until he was twenty-five years old, he was still free to enter and leave the inner courtyard of the Tulip Family Castle The Duke's attitude, undoubtedly, was tantamount to silently expressing a message to everyone: Sylvester, a young man, was raised by him as half a son Moreover, until Sylvester was twenty-five years old, he would regularly follow the Duke and it was already the undoubted official of the Duke There are rumors in Loulan City, as well as within the family.
In fact, everyone felt that if the family wanted to choose a husband for the future duchess, Sylvester was really a very suitable person: he had outstanding qualifications, he was very extraordinary, and he was raised by the duke since he was a child, and he had a strong sense of belonging and loyalty to the family.
What's more, he is different from Goth and others, and Goth and others have a very prominent family background.
Silvestre's origins, on the other hand, are relatively ordinary.
In the future, if he becomes the husband of the duchess, he doesn't have to worry about the situation of being a big bully, or a situation where relatives are rampant, of course, this speculation is a bit painful, but as a superior person, these things have to be considered.
In fact, when Sylvester was twenty-five years old, that speculation was proven to be true.
Dixon said in a low voice: "You know, I followed Dean Carmen in the Academy of Magic, and this matter is also my departure from the academy this time and came to the northwest to follow Darling Chen, before I came out, the dean told me personally, saying that after we come to the northwest, we must pay attention to one person, that is, Sylvester, although our lord Darling has a good friendship with the duchess of the Tulip family, but this Sylvester can't just see him as a simple retainer of the Tulip family." ” When Sylvester was twenty-five years old, only a few core bosses in the family knew that the Duke had obtained their approval and support after asking several of the family's heavyweight retainers, explaining his intentions to them, and listening to their opinions.
Then the duke began to implement his plan.
It is said that the Duke first inquired about Sylvester, and that the meeting was of course a very private occasion, and no one knew the content of the conversation between the two men.
But according to the fact that after the fact, Sylvester himself was willing.
This is not surprising.

Sylvester had lived in the tulip family's castle since he was a child, and he already had a deep sense of belonging to the family, and he respected the duke like a father.
Now that the Duke was revealing that he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, he naturally would not resist.
What's more, when it comes to power, the Tulip family is the first wealthy family in the world, and its status in the Roland Empire is unshakable, and even the royal family has to respect three points When it comes to wealth, the Tulip family is even richer in the world, although the past two generations have begun to keep a low profile, but the wealth accumulated by the first wealthy family in the empire for several generations, coupled with the wealth of the Tulip Family Workshop, which has done business all over the world, is enough to make people sweat coldly just by thinking about it Speaking of character, although Du Weiwei is still young, there is no doubt that he is an extremely outstanding beauty It is conceivable that as a man, after marrying such a wife, wealth, power, and beauty can all be obtained, and it is the teachers and elders who are so kind to themselves that make this request.
There are a few men who will not nod Originally, everyone was optimistic about this marriage.
But at the end of the joint, there was an embarrassing situation: The daughter of the Duke, Miss Messiah, the little girl with the nickname Du Weiwei, swore to death Swear not to obey It is said that although Du Weiwei was still young at the time, after learning what his father meant, he resisted very resolutely.
She even cut off her long hair in front of her father and told the Duke clearly: This time I cut my own hair, if you force me to marry him again, the next time I cut my own throat Originally, if it was the marriage of an ordinary wealthy family, where would the will of these children be allowed to influence the seemingly beautiful scenery of the wealthy family, but in fact, the young people in the family, whether male or female, often could not make their own decisions about their own marriage, and were reduced to a bargaining chip for family marriage in exchange for benefits.
But when it comes to the Tulip family, Du Weiwei's will can't help but be that the Duke doesn't pay attention to it First, the Tulip family's education of their own children has always been different from that of other aristocratic families.
The children of the tulip family often have something that the children of other families do not have.
Second, the most critical.
Du Weiwei is not a girl of other nobles, the girls of other nobles can casually obey their fathers to marry, and become a bargaining chip for family marriage, after marrying someone, they can only silently stay in the inner house, women, are they always men's puppets, but Du Weiwei is different, she will be the patriarch of the family in the future, and the duke will be the leader If she herself strongly objected, even her father could never force her to marry anyone As a result, this marriage, which was favored by many core retainers in the Tulip family, fell through.
And this incident directly led to a result: After all, Sylvester was a twenty-five-year-old adult, and the young man's self-esteem had suffered a serious setback after the abortion of the marriage, which had already been known to the core of the family for a long time.
He felt that his face was greatly damaged, and if any man was refused to marry by the woman to death, he would have the same reaction.
Shameful, embarrassed, and a little young man's surname, Sylvester took the initiative to make a request to the duke: move out of the Tulip Family Castle, leave the Loulan City Guard, and ask for release It is said that Sylvester's attitude was extremely resolute at that time, and he still refused to change his mind after the Duke persuaded him.
As a result, the Duke ordered Sylvester to leave the city guard of Loulan City and go to the northern border of Nulin Province, and transfer to the Tulip Family Reading Division stationed in the northwest fortress.
Because of this incident, the Duke still had a little apology for Sylvester, his own, so he promoted and cultivated him, and Sylvester himself was indeed outstanding, so in a few years, Sylvester was promoted very quickly, and soon sat in the position of the leading commander of the Reading Division.
Although he is only a general of the Reading Division, he alone presides over the northwest section of the Imperial Kaspersky Line, and the military and political power of the Northwest Fortress can be described as a defensive side, and he is in a high position All in all, among the military generals of the Tulip Department, Sylvester is the youngest of all those who have become the commander of the army Within the Tulip family, Sylvester's status is far different from that of other ordinary retainers There are even many people in Tulip's family who will naturally regard this young general as "half a master".
"Half master, isn't this why the marriage fell through," Captain Hook shook his head and smiled wryly.
Dixon looked awe-inspiring: "It's not surprising that you have to know that Miss Du Weiwei is still unmarried and single."
Hook's face was also pale Since Du Weiwei is still unmarried, she will always get married in the future no matter what, no matter how much she resists, she will always get married and have children for the family, and pass on the blood for the great Tulip family Although she fought to the death when she was young, in the eyes of many people, it may be understood that young children are not sensible.
When she grows up and matures, she will naturally understand that as the leader of the family, it is impossible to avoid the end of getting married and having children to shed blood for the family.
So when she got to the point where she had to get married, who would she choose as her husband?
There is no doubt that Silvestre, the only one recognized by the old duke, is the number one candidate Because he is the only, or rather the only, person who has "ever" been recognized by the old duke And from all aspects, he is the best candidate who is very suitable As long as Du Weiwei is not married for a day, there will be many people in the family who still have many "reveries" about this matter "Among the group of young people who had been trained by the previous Duke in the inner courtyard of the family, Sylvester was a very special one.
And not just because of it.
Before I came out, Dean Carmen told me about this man and made an assessment of him, and the dean's exact words were: Sylvester is a very smart man. ” "Smart" "Of those who have been trained by the Duke, there is no doubt that the most notable is the dead Goth.
Goth is a descendant of Lord Hussein, the chief knight of the Demon Knights, and his talent for martial arts is outstanding, and he is known as the two strongest warriors of the younger generation of the empire.
It seems that in terms of fame, Sylvester is far inferior But in fact, Dean Carmen told me that Sylvestre's talent for practicing martial arts is indeed not as good as that of Goth, but this person's strength is that he has a strong ability to be a military general, so to speak, this person can be a military general to lead a war, and a civilian official can govern Anbang when he gets off the horse.
And this man is also clever in that he is very pragmatic and never greedy for fame.
You see, over the years, Goth's fame is far greater than his, but Sylvester has never deliberately made a name for himself, saying that he is older than Gothic and has a closer relationship with the previous duke, but he himself is never publicized, just low-key management of his reading division "To be continued."
