The Magic Thief Chapter 14:
In this magnificent and solemn cathedral, an exclamation broke the sacred and solemn atmosphere.
With this exclamation, everyone's attention was focused on Mr. Hyde and them.
"Gosh, it's Ruibo."
Another low exclamation came from the crowd.
Ribo followed the voice and saw at a glance that Miss Fanny was standing in the middle of the crowd, and her eyes showed a nervous and concerned god, Sui.
"Oh, my goodness, get the holy water quickly and get a little more. It seems that someone here is injured."
The clergyman who shouted loudly ordered.
Speaking of the priest, he walked quickly towards Mr. Hyde.
Ribbo noticed that the person was obviously the sir Mr. Hyde and Eckert mentioned.
In fact, the image of the patriarch and Ribo doesn’t match at all.
When he originally wanted to come, the patriarch should be a wise, dignified and stable elder image, just like his teacher, Masek Sorcerer.
However, the old gentleman in front of me can't associate with that image anyway.
The old man should not be as old as Mr. Hyde.
The tall figure is at least half a head longer than Mr. Hyde, although thin but not thin. The large skeleton made the old man look like a giant clergyman's robe, which was not suitable to wear on his body, as if it were empty.
Wearing a dome hat symbolizing the patriarch, Ribo wondered if there was a chaotic hair hidden under the hat.
This patriarch has an unflattering look. The high cheekbones make his face sharp and angular, and his long face with sparse beard is always reminiscent of a goat. It looks like a pity that his beard is not as neat as a goat.
The large forehead makes the head look disproportionate, and at the same time, it also increases the distance between the eyes.
A big nose became the most conspicuous part of his face.
Looking at this big nose, Ribo secretly felt a little funny.
A loud voice also marks a big mouth.
The two ridiculous front teeth make that big mouth also a very eye-catching organ.
Could it be this person, known as the most respected elder in the entire Surthburg?
Ribo feels a bit inexplicable.
"My friend, are you hurt?"
Getting closer, the elder asked again.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you, I thought we couldn't come anymore!"
Mr. Hyde pretended to say with emotion: "My loyal servant is injured. I think you can help to deal with it."
"This is very convenient, Pires, you take this gentleman down to rest, and treat this gentleman by the way."
The elder ordered that after he had said this, he suddenly turned his head back to look at Ruibo with a serious face, and then asked for a long time: "This is the little Ruibo, isn't it? My friend. "
"Yes, I originally thought his identity was concealed very well, but I didn't expect..."
Mr. Hyde showed a look of helplessness and sorrow.
"My friend, I dare to swear in front of God the Father, I have never revealed anything."
The elder said in a panic.
"My friend, how could I doubt you?"
Mr. Hyde shook his head and said.
"Yes, but it’s impossible for others to disclose all of this. If you take such a big risk to take in this child, you absolutely cannot be the leaker, but that loyal butler, in my opinion Lai is also a cautious character. It should be impossible for him to reveal the secrets of the little master. This is weird. Could it be that there is a magician hidden behind the mobs, that is terrible."
The elder began to talk to himself.
The conversation between the elders and Mr. Hyde shocked the nobles who heard all this.
"Elder Monti, can you tell us what happened?"
A chubby old man stood up from the crowd, and two grand old people stood up at the same time behind him.
"Earl Fesnan, let me introduce you, this one," the elder said, pointing to Mr. Hyde. "It's Caviele. Egret, Lord Hyde, he is my best friend, Lord Hyde's. Da Ming, you should have heard that he is the most outstanding diplomat and explorer of our Kingdom of France. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty the King and the Bishop. He is also one of the most important friends of the Holy See."
"Two years ago, the temporary guardian of the last legal heir of our respected lord, the housekeeper who can be called a model of loyalty, had a foreboding that the lives of himself and the young master were threatened. In order to preserve the blood of the master, He entrusted the young master to Lord Hyde."
"Before making such an arrangement, he told me about this matter. Perhaps, in the eyes of the housekeeper, I am still a trustworthy person."
Hearing what Elder Monti had said, the Earl Fesnan looked at Ribo for a long time and said: "Then, in other words, the young man in front of us is the real The heir of Count Meding is the real Miss Lisa’s son, but what happened to that corpse?"
"It may be the despicable tactics of those thugs. I think this is normal. It seems that these thugs are not such simple guys. There are powerful forces behind them to support them. What kind of methods can they use, We don't need to be surprised." The elder said.
"Maybe, is that really the corpse of our young lord heir?"
A middle-sized bald old man behind Earl Fesnan said.
"Master Martial, are you doubting my honesty?"
The elder said coldly.
"No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean this. I just made an assumption. Of course, this possibility is the smallest. Maybe, the corpse is another child adopted by Mr. Butler in order to conceal others."
The Lord Martial said with a smile.
"You are not only insulting me, you are even insulting the deceased. The loyalty and kindness of that housekeeper is obvious to all. Moreover, I have always been in contact with him, and I have been to the mansion and have never seen any children. , I think, Count Fesnan knows if there is such a young man in that mansion. Didn’t the adults always send someone to monitor the house?"
The elder’s words made Earl Fesnan a little embarrassed. In fact, all this was arranged by the old lady Medin. The details are not clear to me, but he said that he didn’t know anything about it. It's too shameful.
Earl Fesnan had to bite the bullet and said: "Yes, this is a huge and stupid scam. I'm sure there was absolutely no boy in that house."
Earl Fesnan's remarks undoubtedly showed that he was on Mr. Hyde's side, which is not difficult to understand.
In fact, his acting lord is quite boring. Everything in Surthburg is not under his control, and his authority as an acting lord is not even as good as when the old lord was alive.
When the old lord served as the first civil servant, the Lord Earl had to be windy, rainy and rainy, but now, all the power of Surthburg is divided between the two standing behind. Clean and clean.
The Director of Finance, Martial, not only holds the financial power of Thurthburg in one hand, the officials who are in charge of internal affairs have also been wooed by this guy, and everyone knows that this guy has already turned to the court* Yes, behind him, His Majesty the King secretly supports.
As for the military chief Lai Wei, the **** relied on the military power of Thursberg in his hand and did not put himself in the eye. Fortunately, he also knew that whether it was His Majesty the King or His Majesty the Prince sent someone to receive Circe. He would be swept out of the fort's power, so he was still on his side.
The acting lord’s head quickly weighed the pros and cons. In his opinion, it’s not a bad thing to let a child sit in the lord’s position. He can give orders in the name of the lord, although Those two guys would not want to let themselves do this, but as long as the little lord sits firmly in this position, the old lady Medin will definitely support the little lord with all her strength.
In Searthburg, Miss Medin has absolute prestige.
Earl Fesnan thought about all this carefully. For Lord Hyde, he didn't think there was anything great. Although the little lord would be more willing to listen to him, however, a powerless and powerless person has no influence in Surthburg. Powerful civilians and nobles, in this place that attaches great importance to hierarchy, it is absolutely impossible to do anything.
However, the only problem now is how to get the military chief on his side, which is quite a headache.
And this is something that has to be done. This fellow Martial must be on the opposite side of him. There is no doubt about it.
In this case, Lai Wei's tendency is extremely subtle.
Earl Fesnan turned his head and asked another old man: "Earl Lavie, what do you think of this matter."
"There is no doubt that it is a conspiracy. I have seen it a long time ago. It is a botched conspiracy, but I am also not sure that this young man is the heir to our respected lord."
The old man said with a cold face, "Of course, I don’t doubt the honesty of Master Master. This is unquestionable. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the deceased. In fact, I also wish. There is such a loyal butler. It’s just that during the entire two years, will our respected heir have any accidents? Seeing the appearance of these people, they should have been attacked. I am sorry. I have to ask, have the cruel murderers who can kill a small group of well-trained mercenaries cleanly become merciful or weak this time? Not even an old man and a child can be killed, right, Lord Hyde, I would like to ask you a question, where were you attacked, how many people attacked you, how many people were there in your party, and how were the casualties?"
Although Earl Faisnan was quite dissatisfied with the attitude of the military chief, he couldn't catch the flaws at all, and it seemed reasonable to ask these questions.
"If you are suspicious of our thrilling journey, you can send a team of cavalry to Piton quickly. We were attacked at a resting place between Piton and Butte. If no one will If the corpse is towed away, your guards will be able to see dozens of desperado corpses lying in the depths of the dense forest. I have a more convincing evidence here, a head; those of the leaders of the attackers Head." Mr. Hyde greeted, Kyle took off the skin bag pinned to his waist and gently lifted it in front of the military chief.
For Count Lai Wei, who is in charge of military affairs, he doesn't care about corpses or heads. As a soldier and an excellent knight, he has seen a lot of these things.
The old man did not take the skin bag. He stretched out his thin, long fingers, and carefully untied the tether on the top of the skin bag and opened the mouth of the bag. He glanced inside, and it turned out to be one. A dead man's head dripping with blood.
"What is this?" the military chief said coldly.
"Have you heard of the name Lidok, he is from Xibai."
Mr. Hyde said slowly.
"Li Duoke... this name is familiar."
Lai Wei frowned and thought.
"The'Residual Wind' is so powerful, the first master of bow and arrow use among Xibai mercenaries."
A young knight standing beside the military chief interjected.
Mr. Hyde and Earl Lavie looked at the young knight at the same time.
"I remembered Cai. There was a Xibai mercenary who was good at archery, called Lidok. Your excellency meant that it was this famous mercenary and dozens of his men who attacked you, haha, It’s even harder for me to imagine how your Excellency brought this young man out of the siege."
Earl Lavie showed a mocking smile on his face.
"We did not rush out of the siege, and it is impossible to achieve this. Our horses are definitely not faster than the speed of bows and arrows. What's more, we have no intention of running away. Although there are only six people, we are absolutely confident to destroy them. Desperadoes, Ruibo contributed the most in this victory."
Mr. Hyde said with a smile.
"Oh, my God, your Excellency is saying that our'little lord' alone solved all the attackers, and there is even a famous mercenary among these attackers. Do you mean that? "The military chief's mocking smile grew stronger.
"My father-in-law, I think, it's not surprising." From the crowd stood a nobleman in his thirties and gorgeous clothes.
Ribo is no stranger to this person, he is the Baron O'Neill who once appeared at Baron Rona’s banquet.
The baron walked up to the chief of the military and said something quietly in his ear.
I saw that Earl Laivi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was filled with an expression of incomparable surprise for an instant.
"Are you sure this is true?" the count asked, turning his head to stare at his son-in-law.
"I have seen with my own eyes, and your daughter can also prove whether what I said is true." Baron O'Neill was obviously afraid of his father-in-law, he took a step back and said.
Earl Fesnan and Count Martyr were extremely curious about what the military chief listened to his son-in-law, but they also knew very well that since this Baron O'Neill is so mysterious and mysterious to his father-in-law Bite your ears, the military chief will definitely not share everything he knows with them.
Earl Laivi pondered for a long while, he is indeed quite worried now.
He knows exactly what the acting lord is thinking about, and he also knows what action Martial will take. For him, the best choice is to keep the way he is now.
That's best for me.
If you recognize the status of the legal heir of this little lord, your power will be greatly shaken, and Fei Snan, the old fox, will never let go of this opportunity.
However, the existence of this unidentified heir to the lord is also quite necessary, so as to be able to contain His Majesty's further actions.
However, as it is now, Martial is a bit weak and weak. Earl Fesnan and Elder Monti can definitely form a tacit understanding. This old fellow Fesnan is not difficult to deal with, but the elder is difficult to deal with. Now, this elder has a huge network in Searthburg, and no one would disbelieve what he said. This is quite unfavorable to Martial. With the addition of that Lord Hyde, this person is obviously not a simple person, just see that he is not surprised. He might also be a difficult character.
And the most headache of all things is undoubtedly that the little lord is actually an apprentice of magic.
You must know that no magician can easily offend him. Even if he has an army of thousands of horses in his hands, for the magician Cai, it is nothing but a mere superficial power.
The mysterious power of the magician is not something ordinary people like them can contend.
Only a magician can deal with a magician.
Unfortunately, there are too few people with special abilities. Not to mention that there is no magician guarding him. Even the lord has not been protected by the magician. Otherwise, he will not die. It's so inexplicable.
However, now there is a magic apprentice standing in front of him.
The magic apprentice means that there is a magician hidden behind him.
What's more, this magic apprentice also has considerable strength. Although he is a strong knight, fighting against a magic apprentice is also something he is unwilling to do anyway. Who knows, what kind of mystery these people have Unpredictable strength?
Furthermore, this apprentice of magic was able to defeat the "Remnant Wind" and his subordinates were more powerful than his. This fact proved that this little lord was a person to be unprovoked.
In short, the boy in front of him is definitely not a puppet that can be controlled by others.
Fei Sinan, the old fox, is probably going to steal the chicken without loosing the rice.
Thinking of this, the military chief quickly put away the mocking face and said: "Elder Mondi, I already quite understand the authenticity of Mr. Ribeau’s identity, I think, I don’t have any problems here. You are enough to make People trust it, but we outsiders don’t have much say in determining the identity of the heir to the lord, Lynn Mei. Tiss. Miss Meding is the person who can really confirm it. What we say does not count at all."
The Secretary of Military Affairs suddenly took a 180-degree turn, which made the other two old men not surprised.
They couldn't imagine what kind of intelligence was that made this stubborn guy completely change his position. The military chief is not a person who can easily give up something.
Even Elder Monti was surprised that he was able to sit in the position of patriarch for such a long time. This elder was not as brave and courageous as he showed, protecting himself from that impulsive and stubborn appearance. He can easily-get close to anyone. Also under his deliberate creation, everyone in Surthburg regards him as a respectable and trustworthy elder, and their most loyal advisor and guide. Because of this, he was able to detect many secrets from believers who trusted him. After these secrets were carefully sorted out and sorted out, they were passed on to the cathedral in the capital of France through the church's special carriage. , And then passed from there to the Holy See.
No one knows the true identity of Mr. Hyde better than him.
Mr. Hyde has a very close relationship with the Pope. In fact, he often acts as a special envoy of the Holy See and does things that are not convenient for the Holy See.
It can even be said that he organized a huge thieves’ union in southern France, which is also in the interest of the Holy See.
Almost all the details of the plan this time are quite clear to me. Every other month, I will secretly get in touch with Hyde and give each other a trump card that can threaten the chief of the military.
According to the plan, it was originally intended to bypass the Chief of Military Affairs, and the old lady Medin would come forward to suppress all the unstable forces in Surthburg.
Did Hyde hide something from himself? However, this is impossible, it is not necessary at all.
Did all the changes happen in this month, and Hyde hasn't had time to tell himself? But, apart from planning the trial, Hyde hadn't planned anything.
The elder was puzzled.
Among all the people present, the only nobles who can really guess all of this are the nobles who have participated in the Baron Rona’s banquet. However, of course they will not show up everywhere, which is not good for them.
To be honest, that Miss Fanny was really disappointed.
She never thought that Ribo was hiding such an amazing identity, and he was actually the heir to Lord Sirthberg.
Why did he hide all this before?
What purpose did he attend the ball for?
Afterwards, he accepted the invitation to come to his villa for a banquet. What was it for?
This is not just a coincidence.
Is it really like what his father said? In his opinion, Ruibo can definitely be called an excellent politician and diplomat.
Those politicians are good at using everything available to achieve their goals.
Is it really just being used?
The Baron's daughter is so sad that she thinks about all this.
How can parents not know how their daughter feels?
In fact, Baron Rona was quite angry in his heart. He didn't care about clinging to the powerful, and he felt helpless at most when he was being exploited. However, playing with his daughter's sincere feelings in this way is absolutely not forgivable. of.
In addition to the anger of Baron Ronna, Viscount Telbo, who was sitting beside him, was also filled with righteous indignation.
Although Viscount Lord did not have a good impression of the rival of the year, Ruibo's actions were undoubtedly too despicable and ruthless. He hurt the most beautiful thing in the world that should be protected, that is, the first love of the girl Chunchun. heart of.
A girl’s first love can be so romantic that it is full of sweet feelings, and it can also be bitter and distressing. However, using this pure heart to achieve your own goals is compared to the sloppy boy brother who uses rhetoric to deceive the girl. Pure love and a holy body are ten thousand times more hateful, because the behavior of the **** can also give the hurt girl an unforgettable sweet but painful romantic memory. But ruthless use brings only humiliation and pain.
This little politician is even more hateful than his playboy, Lao Tzu. Viscount Terbo gritted his teeth secretly there.
What he hates even more is that there is one thing he has to admit that Ruibo is indeed a charming prince charming in the eyes of those girls.
Mature and sophisticated, extensive knowledge, elegant conversation, unique insights, strong self-confidence, and the identity of the magic apprentice who are not in line with the age, all deeply attract those girls who have not been involved in the world. .
What's more, with Turbo's extremely rich experience, he certainly knows very well that all this is absolutely fatal to girls full of fantasy.
Even if you know how cruel and ruthless this kid is, but are just using their feelings, these little girls will still be like moths to the fire, and they will fall in love with this **** who has no true feelings.
Furthermore, the colder this kid appeared, the more girls who fell in love with him deeply, and the deeper the relationship.
The most headache for Viscount Telbo is that his daughter, that stubborn and willful girl is also one of the many moths.
Ribo doesn't know what Baron Rona and Viscount Telbo think in their hearts.
He only knows that he has to be at the mercy of the wealthy and nobles of Searthburg now, and it will be extremely difficult for him to prove his status as the legal heir.
Actually, one of the most difficult things was that he was about to face the old lady Meding who was rumored to be stern.
This old lady is the older sister of the old earl. She has the same bad temper as all the old virgins who are unmarried for life.
However, apart from bad temper, the fairness and strictness of this old lady is also a well-known thing in the whole of Surthburg. When she was young, she used to be the chief prosecutor of Surthburg. Strict law enforcement made Surthburg go up and down. No one is afraid of her, but the people love this old lady very much.
Since the death of the old Earl of Medin, this old lady has become the highest-ranking nobleman in Surthburg, and everything can only be carried out with her consent.
Either the Chief of Military Affairs or the Director of Finance was respectful in front of this old lady.
Ribo doesn't know what kind of test will be waiting for him when facing this old lady.
There is a lake covering an area of several hundred hectares five kilometers outside the western suburbs of Surthburg. Although it can only be regarded as a small lake, the scenery on the lake is beautiful.
The rippling blue lake is set against two hills in the distance that are not high or low, and the hills are full of flowers and trees.
A beautiful and ingenious five-story villa can be vaguely seen in the cracks of the dense tree canopy.
An avenue paved with bluestone slabs extends from the entrance of the villa to the lake, where a pier is built.
It's completely different from the dock in Nangang. An elegant and chic pavilion is built next to the dock.
The outer circle of the pavilion is made up of dozens of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The door panels are cross-spliced with thick red pine wood strips made of countless index fingers, giving people a feeling of impermeability.
The top of the pavilion is made of thin marble slabs inlaid with each other like fish scales, radiating dazzling colors under the sunlight.
A small boat is moored on the pier.
The boat is made of oak, and the outside is painted with a layer of white paint. Only the sides of the boat are crimson red and waxed, which can be seen.
There are three oars on each side of the front part of the boat, and the back half of the hull is built with bauhinia wood.
Between the lake and the hills is a flat grassland.
This large grassland stretches for more than ten kilometers around the entire lake and is definitely a good venue for horse racing.
Looking south from the hill, the Butte Forest is not far away. The lake divides a stream and extends straight into the forest.
Ribo came to this paradise under the leadership of Earl of Fesnan. This is the villa built by the Maiding family on the outskirts. This was once the favorite place of the old Earl of Maiding. The time the old Earl lived here every year , Far more than in the county guard house.
Since the death of Old Medin, only the old lady and an orphan she adopted have been left here.
But strangely, the old lady did not make the orphan girl her adopted daughter formally.
In addition to the two of them, there are also a few maids who live with them. They are all hard-hearted people who were kindly taken in by the old lady. Therefore, to this family, these maids are absolutely loyal.
The old lady is stubborn and resolutely unwilling to let the guards and male servants live in this place.
Of course, her behavior has to be explained by the quirks of the old maiden.
Since the death of the old Earl Medin, this place has become unwelcome for men. Therefore, even Earl Fesnan, who is the acting lord, must be obediently waiting for the reception of the old lady when he arrives here.
Standing under the porch, the autumn wind blew by, making Lord Earl feel a bit chill. He is now regretting that he should wear an extra cloak and come out again, or stay in the carriage like the Lord Hyde It's good if you can't get up or down.
Standing in front of the door and enduring the cold wind now, isn't that asking for hardship?
I don't know when the old lady will meet her.
According to my usual experience, when the old lady is in a little better mood, she is willing to meet their group, but this is completely uncertain.
Once she gets upset, it's common to stand outside the door for two or three hours.
Earl Fesnan prayed secretly in his heart that the old lady's mood should be better now.
I don’t know if it’s because the Lord Earl’s prayers were effective, or the old lady was in a good mood. After more than a quarter of an hour, the orphan lady opened the door and walked out. After taking a close look at Ruibo, he turned his head and said to Lord Earl: "My lord, my aunt said, let me take this young man in and show her, please go back to the carriage and wait, it's weirdly cold here. Of."
Speaking, the lady gently pulled Ribo into the house, and then closed the door.
There was a long sigh outside the door.
Ribo carefully glanced at the orphan lady.
According to the information, this lady is 22 years old this year and she is still in her boudoir. It seems that the old lady has no intention of marrying her, and this lady seems to plan to live with the person who adopted her, she has never heard of She had a relationship.
A pair of eyes are slender and long, full of gentleness. The two curved eyebrows and the exquisite nose are so harmonious, like a peaceful landscape painting, which makes people feel extremely warm.
With a touch of red lips, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile and a neat row of white teeth.
One head of hair fell softly and curled on his shoulders.
This young lady is wearing a long crimson silk dress. The high collar reveals only the white and pink neck. A silver necklace is the only ornament on her body, underneath the necklace is decorated with angels.
Speaking of beauty, this lady is one of the most beautiful women Ribo has ever seen.
Compared with Miss Fanny, this young lady looks more mature and full of feminine charm.
That gentleness is also something Miss Fanny doesn't have.
Looking at her, Ribo seemed to feel the feeling of being cared for by her sister.
This is a very warm feeling like never before.
It feels very comfortable.
Following this sister, Ribo came to the second floor.
The entire second floor was completely opened up, surrounded by a circle of sofas, black leather sofas covered with thick camel hair.
A row of knee-high low cabinets are placed against the south window. The low cabinets are carefully carved and spliced with fine sandalwood, with exquisite carvings and thick, dense, bright and bright purple-red paint. It makes people feel that this short cupboard itself is a rare art treasure.
A row of floor-to-ceiling cabinets with the same texture and workmanship are placed on the east, west, and north sides, but compared to the row of low cabinets, the carvings on them are much sparser, and the color of the lacquer also proves that the high cabinets and The low cabinet is not a work of the same era.
These tall cabinets are obviously furniture that was later imitated. Although the counterfeit craftsman has good skills, he is obviously not talented.
Whether it is a tall cupboard or a low cupboard, the things that are in full bloom are all precious works of art.
Like Mr. Hyde, the owner here is also a collector, but this collector does not have the artistic talent of Mr. Hyde, so he can’t decorate this place like that treasure house, Mr. Mu De The Treasure Pavilion in itself is an amazing masterpiece.
On the sofa in the middle sits a lady who is thin but not too old. Like most old virgins, this old lady always has a cold face. I don’t know if it’s because of her pure heart. Because of the lack of desire, it is because of the peaceful life and proper maintenance. The passage of time has not left too many marks on this face.
After all, there is a blood connection with that Lisa and Miss Medin. Therefore, the face of this old lady is a bit similar to his "mother" in the portrait painting in Ruibo's room.
Like most old virgins, the clothes worn by this noble old lady Medin are reminiscent of the monastic clothes of clergy, at least the colors and styles are similar.
The old lady scanned Ribo up and down with cold eyes, turned her head and said to the adopted daughter, "Landy, why did you bring him in in the end? Can't you see that he is a fake?".
Hearing what the old lady said, Ribo's spirits were all gone, and he couldn't imagine how his feet were showing up from the bottom of his body.
Fortunately, Kelller's training at this time worked. Although his heart was filled with incomparable shock, his face was still very calm.
Maybe, this is just a test.
Thinking of this, Ribo is planning to defend himself.
The Miss Randy obviously guessed what Ribo was thinking in her heart. She smiled softly and walked to the old lady and said, "Auntie, although I have already seen that he is a fake, However, Lord Hyde bothered to arrange so much, it seems that the real Master Ruibo has already..."
"It deserves it if it's dead, it's not as clean as it's dead." Old Miss Meding said angrily.
Ribo knows that the situation is over at this time. It seems that both Miss Randy and the old lady Medin have seen the real Ribo. Byndit.
And this meeting must have been arranged in an extremely secret manner, because the information provided by the butler did not mention this important meeting.
"Child, come here," the old lady said coldly, and she beckoned.
Ribo had to obediently walk up to the old lady.
I saw the old lady holding Ruibo's head and turning to the side, looking carefully, after a long time, she let go of Ruibo and nodded and said: "They are bothering enough."
"The Lord Hyde should be the master behind the scenes. Isn't the Nangang Chamber of Commerce jointly involved?" the old lady asked.
Ribo didn't know how to answer for a while, but Mr. Hyde never told himself how to deal with such a thing?
Ribo stood there in a daze.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Miss Randy's gentle and sincere gaze.
The gaze seemed to encourage myself to tell the truth.
I don’t know why, Ribo seems to think that this amiable sister will never deceive himself. He summoned up the courage and said: "This plan is planned by Mr. Hyde and Mr. Meyer together."
"Sure enough, there was him, I knew it was like this, but Meyer is an old friend. Blake was able to trust him back then, I think I can trust him too, Randy, you go and take the Lord Hyde Call in, I have something to discuss with him." Old Miss Meding ordered.
Landy agreed and went downstairs.
"Child, you can sit there." The old lady pointed to the sofa opposite.
Ribo sat down tremblingly.
"Why did you agree to do this? Was it coerced? Or because they promised you so many benefits?" the old lady asked.
"This? I can't tell myself, Mr. Hyde once gave me the opportunity to choose."
Ribbo said.
"After this matter is over, do you have any plans to play the role of this lord forever?" There was no warmth in the old lady's tone.
"No, I have more things to do. I have to go back to my teacher to study. My teacher is a Masek wizard." Ribo replied.
"Are you a magician?" The old lady asked in amazement, apparently Ribo's answer was beyond her expectation.
Ribo took out the magic ring from his pocket, because it was the best proof.
Growing up in a wealthy and aristocratic family, it is of course impossible for this old lady to be ignorant of the goods.
The shattered sapphire ring may not prove anything, but the scarred silver ring shows that everything Ribo said is true.
"You seem to have gone through a terrible adventure." The old lady said while stroking the scarred silver ring.
"Yes, I felt scared after thinking about it!" Ribo said.
The old lady slanted her eyes and looked up and down Ruibo again. Her eyes were cold and coldly said: "You like adventure?"
"I hope to have an experience like Mr. Hyde that is worthy of my lifetime memories."
Ribo said with excitement. "Man's stupid logic" the old lady's tone was still the same cold.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from downstairs.
Mr. Hyde's figure appeared in front of Ruibo.
"Lord Hyde, please sit down." The old lady said straightforwardly and politely: "The counterfeit you sent has been seen through by me, and this child has also admitted that you and Lord Dauphin planned all this."
Mr. Hyde didn't seem surprised at all when he heard all this. He smiled and said, "You asked me to come up. There must be something to discuss with me, right?"
"Yes, I want to make a deal with you."
The old lady said.
"What transaction."
Mr. Hyde is obviously interested.
"The tragedies that happened one after another in the Maeding family, I guess you wouldn't think it was an accident, and you and I are very clear about who is suspicious, but I need evidence, you have to find out the murderer behind the scenes. "
The old lady said blankly.
"Do you want revenge?" Mr. Hyde asked.
"Revenge or revenge is another matter. I may trouble you all, but now I only need to know who the murderer is and the conclusive evidence." The old lady said.
"If your request is only these, I can agree to it," Mr. Hyde said.
"Besides, there is a little thing. I will help this kid sit in the position of lord, but when his position is established, I will give you a list. The lord must have a little power A little bit has to be handed over to them." The old lady said.
"There is no problem, either, we are not here for power," Mr. Hyde said.
"It is a pleasant thing to do a deal with you." There was obviously no pleasant feeling in the old lady's tone.
"Have you no further requests?" Mr. Hyde asked with a smile.
"I have one last request, but this is made to Ruibo." The old lady apparently thought that the transaction was established, so her name for Ruibo immediately changed: "Ribo, you Since you play the role of the heir of the Meding family, you must at least make a contribution to maintaining this family. The Meding family needs an heir, a real heir. Although you are a fake, your son will be the orthodox Meding. Family heir, as long as that child was raised by me and received my education since childhood. I need your son, at least one. If there is a reserve, that would be even more ideal."
Ribo's face flushed red when he heard what the old lady said. He never thought it would be such a condition.
Seeing Ruibo’s embarrassed expression, Mr. Hyde quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Meding, don’t you think that it seems a little earlier to talk about this condition for a teenager like Ruibo? Maybe it’s two times too early. The annual meeting is more appropriate."
"Early? In my opinion, it's not early at all. What's more, if you want to truly play my poor niece's son, that kid has to work hard at least in this regard. "
"What do you mean?" Mr. Hyde asked puzzled.
"Do you know why we can see that the child is a counterfeit at a glance? Because, eight years ago, my brother missed his daughter so much, so he had to meet his family secretly. It is precisely because of this that I have seen the real Ruibo. Byndit. Although, I can’t guarantee how the child will look like when he grows up after eight years, but at the time he was eight years old. The older child left a very deep impression on me. Like his father, this child is an out-and-out ruin." Old Miss Meding's face was even more ugly.
"Draughty? An eight-year-old child?"
Mr. Hyde asked. Obviously he is a little unbelievable. In fact, old virgins like Miss Meding will definitely have some unusual overreactions when it comes to the matter between men and women. Maybe, Holding a hand in her opinion is absolutely indecent and shameless.
The old lady stared at Mr. Hyde coldly. She knew very well what kind of person Mr. Hyde regarded her. After a while she explained: "It may be really hard to imagine, but you won’t fail. Do you know how much family blood and education have had an impact on a person? The Bairdite family has been known for producing playboys and trivial embryos for generations, and their family life is quite famous for the famine*."
Mr. Hyde nodded. Regarding this matter, he totally agrees. Many of Xibai’s long-established families have a bad reputation, and the Byndite family is even more outstanding.
However, when Mr. Byndit was in Nangang, he seemed to have constrained a lot. It is rumored that it was because this Mr. Byndit was married to a beautiful young lady.
"Lisa was originally an innocent and cute little angel, but she was tuned into a shameless **** by that nasty embryo. What is even more shocking is that this shameless family is obviously going to live a wild life. As a family tradition, I taught all this to the next generation by precepts and deeds. Although the child is only eight years old, in my opinion, he is no longer a child. He has skilled flirting skills. I feel that my sins are serious. Anyway, you have a lot of magical powers, and you should be able to understand everything if you check it carefully." The old lady Mei Ding stopped here.
And that Miss Randy had already blushed and looked down at the floor. Eight years ago, she knew things well at the age of sixteen.
"I have to confirm it and leave." Mr. Hyde said, and now he has to go back to make arrangements immediately. Fortunately, the **** housekeeper is still alive. Why did he miss such an important thing? So too, because the child was only nine years old when he died, so he didn't expect this kind of accident at all.
The trouble is, I don’t know if it’s too late to remedy it. If I knew that, the trial would not be arranged in this way. Ruibo left a deep impression on too many people. This impression is very difficult. Worn out, the best remedy now may be to convince people that their little lord has another side unknown.
It seems that Ruibo has to find a good teacher in this regard, a good teacher who can teach him everything.
Mr. Hyde quickly planned what was to happen next.
"Miss Meding, we are leaving." Mr. Hyde said.
"You can leave now, but I think it is more appropriate for Ribo to stay here, isn't it?" The old lady ordered, "Landy, you can arrange a clean room for the young master."
Mr. Hyde saw the layout of the old lady, and thought and thought it was the most suitable choice. However, this villa is a bit remote and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will attack this place.
Thinking of this, he also had a plan in his mind.
Leaving the house, Mr. Hyde went straight to the carriage. The Earl of Fesnan had been waiting there for a long time and was a little impatient. He saw Mr. Hyde coming back alone, and immediately asked with a smile: "Lord Hyde, Miss Medin Have you confirmed the identity of the little lord?"
"Yes, Ribo has been left with her, but I am worried that the tragedy of Nangang will repeat itself again." Mr. Hyde said pretentiously.
"Don't worry, I will go back and set up immediately. Earl Lavie is absolutely trustworthy in this kind of thing." Earl Fesnan said.
Speaking, he ordered the carriage back to the county mansion as soon as possible.
Back in the city, Mr. Hyde and the earl parted ways, and the place where Mr. Hyde was going was the cathedral.
In the secret room at the back of the church, the elder had already prepared a safe and comfortable room for Mr. Hyde.
There is no other person who can get close here.
As soon as Hyde returned to the church, he ordered the clergy to recruit Eckert and them.
Everyone gathered in the secret room.
In addition to Eckert, Kyle and Ted, Elder Mondi also attended this meeting.
"Eckert, we are in big trouble."
Mr. Hyde said.
"What happened?"
Eckert asked.
"The information we had in advance was not sufficient. The butler missed a very important thing, the real Ribo. Byndit was a little pervert even though he was young. Eckert, you chase it out immediately. Back to Nangang, bring the secret of the butler here, Ted, there is no problem with your injury."
Mr. Hyde asked.
"It's okay, it's just bleeding a little, and a little tired."
Ted replied.
"You have to work hard again. You have to send Eckert back overnight, and you have to bring him and the housekeeper back as soon as possible. This time, we will definitely not be able to make any more mistakes."
Mr. Hyde frowned and said.
"I'm going to prepare a carriage for you. Someone happened to give me four Gasos horses. They are famous long-distance runners. They are hundreds of kilometers from Sorthburg to Southport. These horses will be useful to you. ."
The elder said on the side.
"Ted, do you have any suggestions?" Mr. Hyde asked.
"There are four Gasos horses, what can I expect, if I can find a sturdy carriage, it will be perfect." Ted said.
"You come with me. The church has several carriages. If it doesn't work, I can borrow them for you, as long as you speak." The elder said.
Elders Ted and Mondi went to prepare their horses and carts on their own.
"Eckert, this time I go to Nangang, you will bring Freila by the way. In these respects, no one is more qualified to be an expert than Freila. She will be Ruibo's best The teacher of Ruibo is also the target of Ruibo’s practice."
"Is it too risky to bring that housekeeper? What if it is discovered?" Eckert asked.
"Only you are a little more careful. I can't guarantee now that the butler has forgotten something." Mr. Hyde said after careful consideration, "Kyle, I live in the church quite safely. These days , You are always by Ruibo's side, and the real danger may appear by his side."
"Yes, sir." Kyle agreed.
