It's already a few days to return to Ark Harbor. Sitting in the carriage, Allen opened the curtain and looked out. When I came back this time, there was no welcoming honor guard, no flying flags, and no welcome people. All Allen saw was a faint sadness hidden in the corner, deep in people's expressions, or in the dim sunlight. Even the people walking on the street seemed to have lighter steps than usual, as if they were afraid of disturbing anyone.

"It seems that the earl's situation is not optimistic."

Sitting on the other side of Ellen, Lucy retracted her gaze to look out the window. Looking at Allen again: "What do you plan to do."

"Fulfill my previous promise." Allen said without thinking.

Beside Lucy, Adele said disapprovingly: "You really consider Oban as a friend? Don't forget our identity. The current situation is very beneficial to us. You should control his eldest son. Behind the scenes. Manipulate, and finally take over Auban’s foundation and territory. Adding Daniel’s territory, then we have a better start."

"I know my identity very well, and I also know the current situation. But Adele, sometimes, there are some things, you can’t always put the benefit first. Since I promised Oban, I won’t regret it, that’s right. The most basic morality of a dying person." Alan's eyes were lowered, and his gaze fell on his knees.

Adele shrugged her shoulders and said: "Okay, morality. I'll make a suggestion for what you men always talk about. You are the head, of course you have the final say."

"After seeing Oban, we will go back to Storm City, and we will probably return to Earth once. Now this is basically stable, and then we have to consolidate and develop, and then we can continue to advance north and expand our territory. Further expansion. I would like to take this time to go back and make preparations for the flow of goods between the two places. A regular route protected by the Federation must be determined, and there are some business partners. This, probably Leon can help Busy." Allen smiled.

Adele rolled her eyes and said: "I just hope that guy won't lose his life in the surface war."

"No." Allen was confident in Leon.

At this moment, the carriage drove into the White Fort and stopped in front of the square. Allen cleaned up, tidied his clothes, and got out of the carriage. Lucy and Adele followed him, and Maes, the butler who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Master Ellen, you are finally here."

Ellen nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation with the earl?"

Metz smiled bitterly: "It’s getting worse, hey. We have hired the best doctors, including the master you sent. But the earl’s condition still doesn’t get better, and it even gets worse every day. The earl is in his bedroom, Today he wants to formally finalize his will. A few witnesses have been specially invited, so it’s just you."

"Please lead the way."

The second daughter of Lucy and the guards were taken to rest in other rooms of the castle, while Ellen and Mace walked quickly through the corridors of the inner castle. The entire white castle was shrouded in layers of gloom, even the ones that spilled through the windows The sunlight on the carpet also looked so pale. In the corridor outside the earl’s bedroom, several chairs were temporarily placed for the visiting guests to rest. When Allen arrived, there were already several people sitting outside the corridor.

Including the earl’s eldest son Giles, the viscount Graar, the earl’s wife, and relatives such as Jola. Seeing Ellen, Ruola greeted him first. She has a tired face that cannot be hidden, her hair is not as shiny as before, and her eyes are covered with red threads. It seems that all the hard work of taking care of the earl these days is written on her face, and Ruola nodded and said: "You are here, brother is waiting for you."

Alan nodded, and Mace had entered the bedroom to report. After a while, he walked out and whispered, "Master Ellen, the earl invites you in."

Hearing these words, the people in the hallway looked different. Graar lowered his head to conceal the resentment in those eyes. Giles looked a little rushed and restless, but his mother bowed her head in tears. With inconsistent gazes, Allen pushed open the bedroom door, and an air mixed with the pungent smell of medicine, a touch of blood and other smells poured out. This room was so lifeless, the **** of death's eyes had been fixed here, and there was no vitality in the air.

The bedroom is covered with a dark red carpet, the color that usually looks noble, but now it gives a sense of heaviness that cannot be ignored. The entry is a set of sofa sets for rest, and the elegant wallpaper decorated with rose patterns extends to the depths of the room. After a group of partitions with an obvious oriental style, Allen first saw a large bed plated with luxurious Ryuk-Gold color on the frame, covered with snow-white trousers, and hanging gauze on both sides. Count Aubin was sitting on the bed with a soft pillow on his back. He seems to be in good spirits today, one hand is turning over the book of poems, the other is lying flat on the edge of the bed. Baggins was giving him an injection, and the two maids next to him were acting as nurses, changing the bandages on Oban's chest with clean water.

As soon as the almost black bandages were in the clear water, they immediately turned into oppressive dark red blood. It made Alan feel uncomfortable looking at his chest as if it was blocked by something. The bedroom was very quiet, whether it was Baggins or the maids, their movements were light. Only the earl's heavy breathing sounded, it was like a leaking bellows, it sounded so hard for every group of breathing of the earl.

Hearing the movement, the earl raised his head. With a golden paper face barely twisting his smile, Orban said in a hoarse voice: "You are here, friend."

He looked at Baggins: "Master, I want to talk to Allen alone."

Bakins nodded, waved his hand to let the two maids go down first with their things, and then came to Allen's side and whispered: "I just gave him an injection, it's refreshing. But don't talk for too long, The earl has to make a will, which will consume a lot of his energy."

"I know."

Waiting for everyone to go down, Allen walked to the bed and brought a chair to sit down. Auban stretched out his hand to him, and the earl's palm was trembling slightly, like the old man decayed in the wind. Allen sighed softly in his heart, and held out his hands with the earl. Auban smiled and said: "I have been conceited in my life to make friends all over the world, with a wide range of contacts, all over a small half of the empire. Although the leadership is in the south, far from the north, the political and commercial prosperity, I believe that one day I will stand in Above the imperial court, my Ridley family will eventually become a famous family in the empire."

Speaking of which, Oban smiled bitterly: "But after all, all this is like a bubble in the sun, disappearing."

Looking at the emaciated earl on the bed, Alan felt a little sentimental. Oban did not accomplish much in personal military force, but he was also considered ambitious. But now, full of ambitions can only be depressed step by step under the torment of illness, which is indeed sighing.

"After I die, the two Earls of Reckold and Kent will definitely take the opportunity to attack. These two guys are not to worry about before. But Giles is still too young, if the force is justified, after all It's just a girl. And the Marquis of Iron Spear has already responded. Hoy said that he would do the marriage as soon as possible. Once Ra is gone, Giles will not be able to hold on. There is also Grall, which I planned to deal with after the end of Daniel's war. He. But now, he can't do that. But keeping him by Giles's side is always a hidden danger." Oban shook his head and sighed. It is not difficult to hear the internal and external troubles of the territory from his words.

Oban has already made arrangements for these issues, but unfortunately he has run out of time, and many plans are simply too late to implement.

Ellen patted his hand back and said: "I will try my best to help Earl Giles."

Hearing what he said, Oban squeezed out a smile: "Sir Alan, from the day you joined me, I know who you are. Long Zeng asked me to beware of you because you are ambitious. People. One day when I can’t tolerate your ambitions here, maybe I will also become the object of your conquest. So I have some arrangements that were originally reserved for you. Unexpectedly, now you are the only thing I can entrust People."

"If you want to develop further, Rhein is an important bridge for you. But you can't trust him too much. My suggestion is to maintain a proper interest relationship with Rhein, which is conducive to the development of your career. "Oban said sternly: "With your ability, the hereditary earl is not a problem, I think the imperial marquis is your real goal. If you can step into the holy realm, then the imperial will probably usher in the fifth duke also said Uncertain."

Alan declined to comment, just smiled. Oban had tried his best to overestimate his ambitions, but Oban did not know the origin of his identity, so he did not know the blueprint in Allen's mind. The Balekan Empire was only a staged goal.

Oban wanted to support his body, Allen quickly helped him up. He smiled and said, "You can come today, and I am in a lot of spirits, so let's make a will. Ellen, please go outside and call in the relevant people."

After a while, the relevant figures appointed by Oban walked into the bedroom one after another. In addition to the people in the corridor before, there was another clerk. Allen naturally gave the position beside the bed to the clerk so that he could record it conveniently. The earl’s wife leaped on the edge of the bed on the other side of Aubin, holding the earl’s hand in tears.

Oban wiped the tears from her face and said softly: "I invite everyone to come today to be a testimony for me. I am no longer able to speak, so I have to make arrangements for the future while I can still speak. . Every decision I said is well thought out and there is no influence of other third-party factors. Therefore, after my death, this will must be implemented and implemented. If anyone violates, I will entrust Sir Allen with severe punishment. Sir Allen will be the witness and defender of this will. I grant him the right to maintain the smooth execution of this will. When necessary, force can be used. This is the first article of the will!"

Everyone swept their gazes at Allen, and no one thought that Oban would trust Allen so much. r1058
