The Magic Thief Chapter 24: Official version
It has been a week since the envoy arrived in Sarthburg with the will of His Majesty the King.
During this week, Ribo lived a leisurely life with nothing to do.
Nothing has changed in the surroundings. The only difference is that the royal knights brought by Earl Robert Robert have been added to the guards guarding the surroundings.
Earl Robert claimed that this was to more effectively protect the safety of the heirs of the lord.
However, anyone can clearly see that the little lord is actually completely isolated from the outside world by the envoy.
Without the order of the envoy, no one can approach the villa.
For this matter, Earl Fesnan had a quarrel with the special envoy once.
Because Ribo has promised that before His Majesty the King takes his order back, Earl Roberto will temporarily assume the role of guardian. Count Fesnan had something to report to the little lord, but he was all obstructed by Count Robert.
No one bothers, it’s not a bad thing for Ribo, at least it can make him concentrate on magic research.
Most of the time, Ruibo spends in the laboratory. The laboratory is next to the study room, which was originally a room with piles of debris.
Since Earl Robert sent someone to sneak into the laboratory, Ribo moved the laboratory here.
Of course, old Miss Medin would never stay with these terrible creatures that seemed to her to be furry, with thin wings, or with more than four legs.
Long before the laboratory moved in, the old lady moved to the mansion in the city of Surthburg to live in. She took the two maids with her and left the other four maids to Miss Randy.
Since the old Miss Meiding does not live in the villa, Miss Randy will of course not restrict Ruibo’s movements. Therefore, the entire villa except for the room where the old Miss Meiding lived is for Ruibo. All are completely open.
In these rooms, Ribo's favorite is the study room.
Normally during the daytime when he is not doing magic experiments, Ribo spends his time in the study.
This is the first time in his life that he has his own study, and the joy in his heart is self-evident.
Like today, Ribo is sitting on the chair in front of the study window.
There are five or six famous paintings on the four walls of the study, which are mainly pastoral scenery. Miss Randy said that it was the preference of Old Medin.
The main color of the study is dark red, the dark red floor, the dark red walls, and the two rows of dark red bookshelves. Only the ceiling is painted bright yellow, and there is a lamp hanging on it, the gilded The lamp panel can gather light together, which is indeed a very elegant design.
In order to prevent sunlight from directly shining on these precious books, the inside of the study is quite dark, with only a window open near the door.
The chairs and bookcases placed in front of the windows are the only furnishings here.
Obviously, if you don't want to stand and read, there can only be one person in this study.
Just as Ribo was reading with gusto, suddenly the door of the study opened. Although Ribo did not look back, she already knew that it was Miss Freila who came in.
Miss Randy always knocks on the door before she comes in, and waits until she responds before opening the door.
The maids will never be close to the third floor. Obviously, the horror of the old Miss Medin's insects has also infected them.
Since he "sweared each other" to Miss Freila, Miss Freila has become a special existence in his life.
Perhaps because his childhood memories are really unforgettable for him, so Ribo still has difficulty accepting the identity of Miss Freila as a prostitute.
Sometimes he even wanted to forget about it deliberately.
And when Miss Freila knew this, she always laughed at him for not growing up, always as a child, and not knowing that there are regrets in everything in life.
Instead of grieving those regrets, it is better to focus more on the most beautiful place.
Ms. Freila even deliberately wanted Ribo to understand that the innocent saint, who was deeply imprinted in his little heart when he was young, has become a woman who is addicted to the love of men and women.
Miss Freila, whom Ribo knew about her past, did not change her usual mockery.
Compared with before, her ridicule has become much softer, and it doesn't hurt people very much, on the contrary, it gives people a warm feeling.
It is no different from the original, Miss Freila is still so enthusiastic, so enjoy the crazy passion.
The physical torture that Ruibo once gave her didn't seem to make her fear the love of men and women.
In short, Miss Freila is still the Miss Freila.
Ribo knows that he is the one who has changed.
Of course, Ribo sometimes doesn't want Miss Freila to bother him, especially when he is studying.
Ribo knows very well that Miss Freila does not like to read, although Miss Freila is probably the most knowledgeable woman he has ever seen.
Ms. Freila's understanding of learning really makes Ribo feel uncomparable.
In Miss Freila's view, her knowledge is only used to attract men's capital, which is part of her unique charm.
And Ribo would really like to ask Miss Freila to be his academic teacher.
Because Miss Freila is the only one who can beat her in this regard. But when it comes to versatility, Eckert can't match it.
But Miss Freila doesn't care about all of this very much. The only thing she needs is Ribo by her side, as if she is the only way to feel lonely.
Although Ribo doesn't mind, Miss Freila stays with him, but Miss Freila is obviously not a woman who likes peace and tranquility.
She always tried to talk to Ribo, and to chat with Ribo. Although she had tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't calm herself to sit next to Ribo without making a sound, just like Miss Randy did.
The young lady is not at all interested in the book full of books.
Although, every time Miss Freila walks into the study, she always troubles herself, but Ribo can't get angry with Miss Freila.
This aspect is because Miss Freila has a special meaning to him, and more because he always feels guilty for hurting Miss Freila.
Ribo believes that no matter how much he loves Miss Freila, it is not enough to make up for the pain he once caused Miss Freila, let alone the kindness that Miss Freila gave him back then.
Knowing that Miss Freila walked into the study, Ribo had no choice but to close the book. He had already planned to chat with Miss Freila for a while to comfort her loneliness, and then went to the laboratory to work. Magic experiment, this is the only way for Miss Freila to leave him temporarily.
Miss Freila is not afraid of insects. In this regard, she is completely different from the old Miss Maiden and the maids.
But she, who has suffered from psychedelic fans, has absolutely no good impressions about magic.
"How about a cup of tea?" Miss Freila said with a smile, holding a large silver plate in her hand, on which there are delicate teapots and cups.
It is a masterpiece of wonderful craftsmanship from the East. The white jade porcelain surface outlines a unique exotic picture with blue silk and colored painting. The beautiful plants and dancing butterflies that have never been seen before are just like It's alive, the shiny glazed surface reflects the charming color, which is not available in glass.
From the teapot floated out a whole rich tea-Piaotian Literature-reading it leisurely, and there was a cup of tea beside her, and it was obvious that Miss Freila had also prepared a copy for her.
What worries Ribo is that the tea has obviously been drunk.
Ribo took a few steps, took the cup of tea, and also raised it to his nose to smell it. Just like his cup, the tea also smelled of almonds.
Seeing Ruibo's strange behavior, Miss Randy obviously also guessed what happened.
She froze for a moment.
"It must be confirmed, it must be confirmed, I hope it's not that kind of thing." Ribo muttered to himself.
Suddenly he seemed to think of something. He turned around and said to Miss Freila: "Please go to the kitchen and get a glass of milk, a large glass of milk, two more eggs, raw eggs. "
Miss Freila ran out of the room so quickly, she did not dare to delay for a moment.
"There is poison in the tea?" Miss Randy asked softly.
"No, I'm not sure." Ribo said, "Maybe I was just a false alarm."
"What if it is really poison? I?? I can't be your wife anymore, and our children won't be born in this world." Miss Randy said that she suddenly buried her head in Switzerland. Bo cried in his arms.
Ribbo has never seen Miss Landy crying. In his impression, Miss Landy showed a distinctive kind of strength and calmness. Ribbo has never seen Landy before. The young lady showed a panic or scared look.
Even when she guessed that she was poisoned just now, all she showed was calm.
All of this made Ribo think that Miss Randy is the most distinctive woman he has ever seen.
Obviously, this is just his misunderstanding.
Seeing Miss Randy crying, Ribo finally understood that Miss Randy is always a woman, a woman who is afraid, fearful, and crying.
Miss Randy also has a weak side.
Ribo comforted softly: "Don't worry, you won't die, I won't let you die, and fortunately, this poison is not very toxic, nor is it very violent. Apparently someone I wanted to poison all the people in this villa, so I used this poison."
Miss Randy was a little skeptical when she heard Ribo's persuasion. She didn't know whether Ribo was talking the truth or just a word of comfort.
"I definitely did not lie to you. This poison acts on the stomach, but the effect is very slow. Generally speaking, after poisoning, one day later, there will be discomfort. This characteristic, so this poison is often used. It seems that Earl Roberts thinks he has sealed us in the villa. This kind of poison is the most suitable, because when someone feels uncomfortable, he can be sure of everything. People are already poisoned, but because the poison is not powerful, it is not too difficult to save. Milk and eggs, if there is mung bean soup, it would be better. Drink some peanut oil at night to get rid of the toxin. Everything is gone, you will probably have diarrhea because of this, which will make you feel ashamed, but your life is absolutely fine, don't worry." Ruibo said with a smile, his smile is obviously more than just comfort.
Miss Randy's face blushed, but her heart really settled down.
At this moment, Miss Freila walked into the living room with a large glass full of milk, followed by three maids, one of whom was holding a bowl in his hand and five eggs in the bowl.
Ribo took the milk from Miss Freila and was about to feed it to Miss Randy. Suddenly, he thought of something.
He put down the milk and ran back to his bedroom quickly.
When he appeared in the living room again, he was holding a few medicine bottles and two or three strange-looking tools in his hand.
Ribo used these tools that Kelller gave him to detect poisons in the glass of milk for interviews and trials. Suddenly his brows wrinkled tightly.
Another weak poison was mixed into the milk.
Ribo secretly sighed that it was dangerous. Fortunately, Kelller had told him that smart poisoners are good at using chronic poisons that kill people unknowingly, and the tricks they often use are different. Different poisons are placed in food.
Ribo felt fortunate that he suddenly thought of what Kelller had taught him.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to save Miss Randy who was poisoned by two kinds of poisons at the same time with the medicine in his hand.
The poison in the milk is more violent than the first poison, and it is more difficult to detoxify. Obviously this is the real deadly move.
"Has anyone ever drank milk?" Ribo asked.
"Lina drank it, she will be fine, right?" a maid said hurriedly.
"How is she now?" Ribo asked.
"She may be poisoned. She said she was unwell, so she went to rest in the room, Master Ruibo, please save her." The maid pleaded, and the other maids wailed and pleaded together.
"How long has she been drinking?" Ribo asked.
"It’s not clear. It may have been an hour or two. The milk was just delivered in the morning. By the way, all of us may have been poisoned. The muffins for breakfast are baked with freshly delivered milk. Made." The maid said with a sad face.
"Don’t worry, that kind of poison is afraid of high temperatures. Once heated to more than sixty degrees, this kind of poison becomes a harmless material. The baking heat is high enough to keep all of you safe. However, those muffins Just throw it away," Ribo said.
"Is Linna saved?" another maid asked with concern.
"You go and prepare some peanut oil. There are about five cups like this." Ribo gestured and said, "Regardless of whether Lina can drink it or not, even if it is forcibly poured, the peanut oil must be poured down. For For Lena, tonight may be a more dangerous period. Whether you can save your life depends on tonight. You have to have someone to take care of her. If she vomits or diarrhea, that is the best phenomenon, every two Feed her a small cup of peanut oil when she is young. The other two people should hurry up and cook mung bean soup. It is best to smash all the mung beans. If there is licorice, put some licorice in it. The more mung bean soup, the better. Maybe someone else uses it. And."
Hearing Ribo's instructions, the maids ran out of the living room quickly. They already knew how to do it.
Ribo took all the eggs, beat them in a bowl, and then fed the viscous gel-like liquid to Miss Randy and drank it.
Miss Randy was not very disgusted with the taste of raw eggs, but no matter who would feel uncomfortable eating five raw eggs in a row, Miss Randy was already frowning. The look was hard to swallow.
"Is that all right?" Miss Freila asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, but the effect of eggs is much slower than that of milk. Unfortunately, these milks can't be used anymore," Ribo said.
"Will it be dangerous?" Miss Freila asked, who actually asked Miss Delanti.
"There will not be much danger, especially after tonight, if there is no discomfort, it proves that the toxicity has been relieved. Fortunately, Miss Randy only took a small sip." Rebo said.
"By the way, can you help me take care of Miss Randy? I have to check the kitchen and other places. At least I have to know what else has been poisoned." Ribo suddenly thought of this important thing. matter.
"Go, go, don't find those things, I always feel uneasy in my heart." Miss Freila said: "I am taking care of this place, don't worry."
Hearing what Miss Freila said, Ribo hurriedly picked up the tools Kyle gave him and walked towards the kitchen, where he had to check it thoroughly.
In the kitchen, a maid was cooking mung bean soup. Seeing Ruibo coming in, she stepped aside respectfully.
"Do you remember any things that were delivered in the morning? I think the only things that might be poisoned are these things." Ribo asked.
The maid became nervous immediately. She pointed here and there, and said: "There are too many things delivered this morning, those vegetables, and three kilograms of beef, one kilogram of lamb, some minced meat, and the **** thing. Milk."
Ribo followed the instructions of the maid, and while checking the food, he asked: "What is different from the usual person who brought things today?"
"I’m not sure about this. I’m responsible for cleaning the living room and study. The kitchen is always in charge of Lena. I just help when cooking. Lena is the cook." The maid panicked. Said.
Ribo checked all the food, but no other poison was found except milk.
Just in case, he started to check the mung bean soup that was boiling.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, Ruibo immediately smelled an extremely obvious smell of almonds, and it was obvious that the mung bean soup was poisoned.
There are few foods that are simpler than mung bean soup. The raw material is water except mung beans.
Ribo is absolutely certain that there will be no mung beans in the tea made by Miss Freila.
The only thing that is poisoned is water.
"Where did the water in the villa come from?" Ribo asked seriously.
When Ribo asked this sentence, his intention was quite obvious, because he had already started testing the basin of clear water next to him.
The maid had obviously guessed what Ribo meant, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"The water was drawn from the forest, the clear spring," the maid said with a trembling voice.
"So far?" Ruibo was surprised. Although this project is not huge, it is just for a villa, and it seems a little unworthy.
"You'd better prepare a few more eggs. Are there any more eggs in the villa?" Ruibo asked, "Go ask, anyone who has drunk water, the clear water just filled up this morning, at least I know that yesterday The night water is clean."
The maid ran out of the kitchen in a hurry. It seemed that this would be a rather busy morning.
Ribo looked at the mung bean soup in the pot and wondered what to do with these things.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to dump them.
Ribo walked to the stove. He hadn't been in the kitchen for several months, but he was not the kind of aristocratic young master who couldn't do anything.
Ribo cleans the pot, fills it with water, and cooks it on the fire. Anyway, clean water is always needed.
After sprinkling a little salt into the pot and dripping a few more drops of vinegar, Ribo could only stand aside and wait for the water to boil.
He was not sure that he could completely remove the toxins in the water. This was the method Kelller taught him.
But getting water in the lake outside is not a good way.
This is equivalent to telling the Earl Robert that they have found someone poisoning the villa.
Now there are a lot of poisoned women who need to be taken care of. It is not a good thing to alert the cruel Lord Earl at this time.
Ribo rummaged through the kitchen while boiling the water, monitoring every suspected thing that might be poisoned.
In the garden living room, Miss Freila is sitting next to Miss Randy.
Miss Randy lay on the sofa, like a real patient.
Just now, the maid hurried over to tell them that someone had poisoned the water, and asked them if they had drunk the clean water that came up in the morning, but she actually jumped them off.
Miss Freila thought for a long time, as if she remembered that the water she drank in the morning was the clear water in the glass carafe in the bedroom. It was poured in last night, and Ruibo had also drunk it. There should be nothing wrong with her. Just relax.
When the maid ran out to ask the others, Miss Randy talked softly with Miss Freila.
"It seems that the envoy can't wait for His Majesty's will." Miss Randy said, her tone full of sorrow.
"I never thought that the cold Lord Earl would be so kind." Miss Freila said in her trademark sarcasm.
"Miss Freila, the only people who are not poisoned here are you and Ruibo. If there is an accident, I don't want you to give up the possibility of escape because of our concerns." Miss Randy said, Her tone was quite determined.
Freila stared at Miss Randy's face for a long time, trying to find out from Miss Randy's expression whether these words were spoken from the bottom of the heart or were just false clarifications.
Ms. Freila felt relieved that from Miss Randy's eyes, she saw only sincerity.
"You should know that Ribo will never leave anyone behind." Miss Freila looked at Miss Randy's eyes and said slowly.
"Yes, because of this, I hope you can persuade Ribo, as long as Ribo is safe, Earl Roberts will absolutely not dare to do anything to us." Miss Randy said.
"I don't seem to be so persuasive." Freila said disapprovingly.
"I know, Ribo listens to you very much. He always calls you in honorifics, isn't it?" Randy said with a smile.
"Hey, it's really annoying and annoying. I really can't stand him. I yell at me'you' ah'you' all day, as if I were the old Miss Medin." Freila frowned Said with a frown.
"He respects you very much. That's why I asked you about the matter." Randy said sincerely.
"You save a little thought and take a good rest. Taking care of your body is like everything is practical. I think Ruibo must have a countermeasure. Have you forgotten? After all, he is a magician, that north Although the guy has brought a lot of men and horses, none of them seems to be a magician. If they act rashly, they are destined to be unlucky, just like the guy who sneaked into the laboratory." Miss Freila comforted.
Miss Randy felt sick as soon as she heard about the knight who stole into the laboratory.
She could never forget the miserable situation of the knight being eaten by the reptiles raised by Ribo, and most of her body was eaten away.
In order to prevent Earl Roberts from knowing that he was dealing with a magician, Ribo dragged the corpse into the villa and disposed of it with a special magic potion.
The disappearance of a knight obviously did not arouse enough alertness from the envoy from the capital.
Although he wanted to break into the laboratory and check it out, Miss Meding's persistence prevented him from returning.
Presumably until now, this Lord Earl thought his subordinates were secretly imprisoned in a hidden place.
"From now on, this place may always be perilous." Miss Randy said worriedly.
When Miss Randy said this, Freila seemed to think of something. She asked: "Why do you think this way?"
"Since Earl Roberts has started to do it, his character should not reach his goal, and he will never give up. Unlike the insidious and cunning Count Marty, Earl Roberts has a stupid temperament, and he will never be like Marty. Count Al’s plan and move later, he would be more willing to fight and make a quick decision. Since he has already taken action, then it can be expected that subsequent attacks will follow." Miss Randy said, her tone was extremely positive, obviously this was not the case. Her opinion between hastily.
"You can rest assured that Ribo can definitely deal with this third-rate swordsman. Hehe, this is Ribo’s view of Earl Robert. He once said that this envoy is more powerful than he is. The strength of is much scary." Freila said with a smile.
"You'd better advise Ribo not to underestimate the enemy, he doesn't have a second life, so he can be used as a bet." Miss Randy shook her head and sighed.
"If it's advice, it's more appropriate for you to advise, isn't it?" Freila suddenly approached Miss Randy's ear and said, "I'm not worried that Ruibo can't deal with the Yankee. I'm just worried that Rui Bo can't take care of all the people in this villa. You should be very clear. If someone threatens Ruibo with your or other people's life, what will happen to him. Although I'm not sure, Ruibo will give up resistance, he is not The kind of foolish fool, but, at least it will make him hesitate, even shackled."
Miss Randy nodded silently.
"So I want you to also move into Ruibo's room. If something goes wrong, Ruibo will protect us and it will be more convenient, isn't it?" Freira said with a smile, her smile obviously There are some special meanings hidden.
Miss Randy blushed after hearing what Freila said. Although she was nominally the unnamed wife arranged by the old Miss Maiden to maintain the lineage of the Maiden family, she was arranged by Ribo's side. After all, my aunt didn't tell me to formally combine with Ruibo.
"If you feel shy, you can let the maids move in to sleep, but lying on the floor may be uncomfortable." Miss Freila said softly.
Ms. Landy blushed even more when she said that. This kind of proposal can only be spoken by Miss Freila. Miss Landy felt that this proposal was even more unacceptable.
"At this time, what are you still hesitating about? In my opinion, this is the best way. Everyone is concentrated in Ruibo’s room. Once something accident happens, Ruibo can Don't worry, who is not under his protection, if you feel very shy, just drag the maids into the water, can't you?" Miss Freila said.
Miss Randy was stunned. She didn't know how to answer.
"You lie here for a while, I'll ask the girls, maybe they think the same as mine." Miss Freila blinked and said.
Speaking, Miss Freila walked to the maid’s bedroom, and Miss Randy was the only one left in the garden living room.
In the kitchen, Ribo handed over the important work he was doing to a maid to continue.
As Miss Randy thought, Ribo had the same worries, and he also had a foreboding that the crisis was approaching.
Although Ruibo has thought about making some careful arrangements in advance.
Ribo wasn't worried, Earl Robert and his knights could attack a fortress defended by magic.
However, I don’t know when Earl Robert’s next attack will come. It’s impossible to always be in trepidation and arrange everything around him into a murderous magic trap that no one can enter.
Recently, during this period of time, Ruibo has learned some magic and refined some useful potions. Although he doesn’t master a lot of magic, he is confident that as long as he can make full use of these magical powers to deal with a group of ordinary People, he has no reason to have a disadvantage.
Moreover, among the demon creatures he raised, there are indeed one or two very useful things.
However, he will never use these terrible things without authorization until he is not sure to completely control these demon creatures.
Ribo hasn't forgotten the blood-thirsty blood bee flying all over the sky, but compared to the ghost mantis that can shred and swallow everything, the blood bee is nothing.
The mutilated body also made him feel terrified and shocked.
However, this ghost praying mantis is far from the few demon creatures that Mr. Masik warned him to be careful about.
It is absolutely impossible to set up the entire villa as a murder trap.
Ribo can't imagine Miss Freila or Miss Randy accidentally triggering these traps.
Nor can you use magical creatures that you can't control at all.
Ribo thought for a long time, and all he could do was what Eckert said?? "Adapt to the circumstances."
The most important thing now is to find a good doctor.
Actually, Ruibo hopes to find Kyle even more. No one is better at poisoning and detoxifying than him.
Clean everything up, and walk to the stables behind the villa.
Bringing out the thoroughbred horse from the stable, Ribo checked the water and fodder in the stable by the way. He was worried that Earl Robert would have a black hand on his beloved horse.
What made him feel at ease was that the forage in the stables had not been poisoned, and the water the horses drank came from the lake, not the spring in the forest.
Ribo checked the thoroughbred horse carefully and found no wounds, so he was relieved.
Riding on the horse, Ribo drove to the distance.
The bitter cold wind blew across the lake, wrinkling layers, the sun was not as hot as summer, and the lake water was golden, and the grass on the lakeside was still green, supporting the hillside in front of the villa. The dense clusters of trees appear peaceful and peaceful.
But Ribo is not in the mood to appreciate all of this now, he urges the mount to drive to the distant Surthburg.
He hadn't waited much distance before he saw a team of Royal Knights coming from far away.
Ribo doesn't want to bother with them.
He could fully guess the order Count Robert gave them.
If I were intercepted by these knights, they would definitely perfuse themselves and take the opportunity to send themselves back to the villa.
Ribo urges the steed.
His thoroughbred ran at full speed, and no horse in the south of France could catch up.
Sure enough, the knights were soon left behind.
Ribo was cautious from beginning to end, because he was always worried about shooting a deadly arrow from a dark corner.
Above this wilderness, is the world of those knights.
Ribo does not intend to compete with the knights of Lord Earl here, after all, he has not yet achieved such a superb strength.
For him, the woods on the hillside around the villa is a good battlefield, but the place where he can better use his hands and feet is inside the villa.
When Ribo studied with the Killer King Kellle, what he learned the most was how to move around in a house. Most of the assassinations were carried out in the room, not in the wilderness.
What's more, the wind blowing in the wilderness can easily blow away the mist that he has placed, but in the villa, as long as all doors and windows are closed tightly, the wind can not run in, and the psychedelic powder solvates into the mist. It can last for several hours.
For Ruibo to break through the encirclement of the guards, it is indeed quite easy.
Into the city, Ribo drove straight to the cathedral. Now the most important thing is to find the doctor.
The cathedral is still so magnificent, but now Ribo doesn't have the slightest feeling of appreciation.
Hurrying into the church, Ribo immediately grabbed a pastor who was praying.
"Where is Master Mondi? Please take me to see him." Ribo said eagerly.
The priest apparently recognized the identity of the young man in front of him.
Moreover, I can see that the little lord looks flustered, obviously something has happened.
Without a word, he brought Ribo to the dean's office.
Patriarch Monti was obviously equally surprised by Ribo's sudden visit, and he looked at Ribo with puzzlement.
"Honorable Master, someone poisoned my villa. Please send the best priest to the villa." Ribo said.
"Who is poisoned? Is it serious?" Elder Mondi asked.
"Except for me and Miss Freila, everyone else was poisoned. Fortunately, I have undergone a simple treatment." Rebo replied.
"Oh, that's great, I will do what you want right away." Elder Mondi nodded and said.
Speaking, Elder Monti gave a few words to the pastor who brought Ribo in.
The pastor retired immediately, he had a lot of things to do.
"Is Mr. Hyde here?" Ribo asked after confirming that the pastor had gone far.
"It's a pity that Mr. Hyde went back to Nangang. It seems that something happened in Nangang, and the matter is quite serious." Elder Mondi said helplessly.
"So is Mr. Eckert here?" Ribo asked again.
"Yes, now Mr. Eckert is in charge of everything in Surthburg, do you want to see him?" the elder asked.
"Yes." Ribo must say.
At this moment, another pastor walked in in a panic, and he said, "Master, Lord Robert, Lord Fesnan, Lord Laivie are visiting, and they want to meet You, and Mr. Heir of the Lord."
"I see, we will come right away." Elder Monti said, and he waved his hand to signal the priest to go out.
After the pastor withdrew, the elder shook his head and said helplessly at Riber: "It seems that you have no chance to see Mr. Eckert."
Go to the hall with Elder Mondi.
Earl Robert was waiting there, followed by Earl Fesnan and Earl Lavie.
Seeing Ribo come out, Earl Robert intends to take the lead. He said: "Mr. Byndit, you even left the tightly protected villa without permission. I really can't forgive your recklessness..."
Ribo didn’t want to hear the special envoy finish. He interrupted Earl Robert’s words: "Earl Ravy, who did the guarding of the villa this morning? Is it you or Earl Robert Those knights that brought me?"
Eckert has already taught him how to interrupt a person successfully. The best way is to ignore the speaker and talk to other people.
Although I don't know why the little lord broke out of the protection circle without authorization, Earl Lai Wei has already guessed some of the hidden details.
This is not a problem, Earl Martial used the same approach.
Earl Laiviy would not openly stand on the opposite side of Earl Robert, but it is obviously the most correct and easiest thing to do without this matter from himself.
"Your lord, since Lord Robert took over the responsibility of defending your safety, all matters related to yours have been solely responsible by Lord Robert's subordinates. My subordinates are just stationed in the barracks at any time. Waiting for the dispatch of those royal knights." Lai Wei said.
"Since Lord Robert is in charge, I will ask Lord Robert to thoroughly investigate who is poisoned in the villa, and the drinking water in the villa was poisoned. It's good to say, because The water source is in the distant forest. However, the milk delivered in the morning is also highly toxic. This should be able to be thoroughly investigated. The milk was sent in through the guard camp." Ribo said.
"Maybe it's just ordinary food poisoning. Many people confuse ordinary food poisoning with deliberate poisoning." Count Roberto said, obviously he has lost his initial aura.
"This is impossible. The plant that can cause gastrointestinal ulcers and even death, only grows in the mountains in the north and does not produce much, and absolutely no one will eat it as food. Its appearance and smell are so unique, and Trompene is a kind of poison that is difficult to extract, but both of these poisons appear in my villa at the same time. It can't be said to be food poisoning." Rui Bo said.
"How can you be so sure of these two poisons?" Count Roberto said: "Don't be too confident in yourself, mistakes are inevitable for anyone to happen."
"This is not difficult to prove. I have asked Elder Monti to appoint an experienced expert to inspect the poisons in my villa and treat the poisoned patients. Elder Monti told me that the expert It is absolutely trustworthy. His report is quite powerful and can be used as evidence. Isn’t that true? Your elder."
Elder Monti clearly understood what Ribo meant. He said: "Yes, Pastor Matthew is the best pharmacist and healer in the church. He is the supervising priest of the Holy See here. His A teacher is a respected archbishop. Even if Pastor Matthew's report is received from His Majesty the Pope, it is absolutely powerful."
It is difficult for Roberto Baird to refute what Elder Monti said, after all, he didn't want to offend the Holy See.
In fact, even His Majesty does not dare to offend the Holy See easily. Offending the Holy See is tantamount to self-destruction.
"If there is such a thing, I must investigate it thoroughly." Count Roberto had to find himself a step down.
"Earl Laivi, I am deeply worried about this happening. It seems that relying on the strength of Earl Roberts alone is a bit too thin. From today onwards, your subordinates will be stationed outside the villa for five hundred. Meters. The royal knights of Earl Robertobel are guarding the periphery, and you guarding them inside, I feel a lot more relieved." Ribo ordered.
"Understood, sir." Count Lai Wei responded with a military salute.
"No, this is tantamount to distrusting my knights, I don't agree." Count Roberto shouted.
"Earl Robert, your knights really did not perform their duties. Before you came, there had never been such a serious situation. In my opinion, strengthening the strength of the guard is the best way at present. If necessary, I can write a report to prove this to the archbishop and the pope. The safety of the lord is not something to be arrogant." Elder Monti said calmly, using the big hat of the Holy See to oppress The surrender of others was originally one of his best things.
Earl Robert did not know how to answer for a while.
Although he is certain that His Majesty the King absolutely supports him.
However, once there is pressure from the church on the other side of the balance of interests, I don’t know how long this support will last.
Earl Roberts weighed the pros and cons and decided to temporarily withdraw from this battlefield he couldn't win.
"Mr. Byndit invites you back to where you live, and my carriage is waiting outside!" Count Roberto said, his expression even more rigid.
Now, he only hopes that Ruibo will return to the suburban villa as soon as possible. Before he is fully furnished, he needs Ruibo to remain isolated from the world.
Earl Robert was not discouraged by not poisoning Ribo, of course, disappointment is inevitable.
Anyway, he didn't bet everything in one place.
In Nangang, he had another arrangement. The momentary miss here did not affect the smooth progress there.
What's more, there is another killer in his hands.
Before he left, His Majesty the King signed two documents. The second document gave him absolute power. However, His Majesty the King repeatedly warned him, and he was absolutely unable to produce the second document as a last resort. .
His Majesty the King is very worried that Prince Phillips will find the excuse for the crime for the sake of the little Surthburg.
The content of the second edict is no different from forcibly seizing the status of the lord of Sirthburg and forcibly confiscating the lord's property. This is a feud in the world.
His Majesty the King signed this document originally because, in his opinion, a remote southern county like Surthburg has no influence, and the Medin family has no strong support in the Kingdom of France.
Prince Phillips is the only one who will attack him because of Sarthburg.
Anyway, sooner or later, he will turn his face with the prince, and the king is determined to take back control of Nangang.
But now it seems that the influence of the heir to the little lord is quite far-reaching, and there is at least the support of the Holy See behind him.
Earl Roberts is now in a dilemma. He is reluctant to bear the position of Lord Sirthberg and the innumerable wealth of Nangang, nor can he offend the Holy See.
The desperate envoy decided to drag His Majesty the King into the water.
Ribo is not very clear about what Earl Robert is thinking about, but he believes that Earl Robert is definitely not an opponent of Mr. Hyde and Eckert.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to ride horses. I will go back soon." Ribo said.
Before Count Robert could speak, Count Fesnan rushed to say, "Lord, there is something to report to his subordinates."
"What's the matter?" Ribo asked.
"This happened a few days ago. I originally wanted to ask you for instructions, but Earl Roberts refused to let me see you. He said that as your guardian, he has the right to deal with this matter." Count Sinan said.
"Guardian? Earl Robert, it seems that we have reached an understanding about this matter. Elder Monti can fully prove this matter. I hope that you will not use the guardian before your majesty's further confirmation arrives. Dealing with anything in the name of, I think Elder Monti can supervise this matter.” Ribo said, he decided to use the omnipresent and absolute authority of the Holy See to subdue Count Robert Roberts.
"Yes, I will report the truth." The elder said. Of course, the elder is very willing to do this kind of thing pushing the boat down the wind.
"What happened to Earl Fesnan?" Ribo asked.
"That's it. In Nangang, some businessmen united and demanded that Nangang could become an autonomous city like those cities in Yilei." Count Fesnan said indignantly, "Earl Robert did not get your permission. , In the name of guardian, agreed to their request without authorization. Now Nangang is busy preparing for autonomy."
Ribbo frowned upon hearing what Earl Fesnan had said. This was indeed a very tricky thing, and it was obvious that Mr. Hyde rushed back to deal with this matter.
This is obviously the conspiracy of Earl Robert. Once Nangang becomes an independent city, although it is nominally, Nangang has a more stable and free status, but without the protection of the Maiding family, His Majesty the King can take back and Nangang at any time Any agreement made by him put Nangang into his control.
Those short-sighted businessmen obviously didn't realize this, not to mention that behind these businessmen there may be some ill-intentioned guys who are inciting this matter.
"How many people in Nangang support autonomy?" Ribo asked.
"It seems that this is the meaning of many people. The petition has the joint signatures of dozens of big businessmen. In Nangang, the autonomy petition is very powerful." Count Fesnan said with a sad face.
"Dozens of big businesses? Huh??" Ribo said with a scornful smile: "There are at least five or six hundred businesses in Nangang. What's so great about gathering dozens of businesses? What is this? The momentum is huge."
Although Ruibo knows that Mr. Hyde will definitely be able to solve this matter, at least he has to behave and express some opinions.
Ribo thought for a while and said: "You immediately rush to Nangang and tell those merchants who want autonomy that Nangang is the private domain of the Meiding family. If they want autonomy, leave Ferry, which is twenty miles away in Nangang. Bay is the territory of His Majesty the King. Nangang is already very small and there is no room for development. There is also a small town in Ferri Bay. All businesses that move into Ferri Bay can enjoy the autonomy there, Robert Count De is the king’s special envoy. The amount of taxes to be paid to His Majesty the King every year can be discussed with Count Robert Roberts."
Ribo thought about it again when he said that, although he clearly knows that he is acting, he still has to act a little bit like acting.
Ribo continued: “Businesses who move out of Nangang can also use Nangang’s docks and shops, and no additional usage fees are allowed. I bought the land vacated after the business moved out at the original price. Earl, do you plan to move part of the glass factory in Sorthburg to Nangang. By the way, under my management, I don’t want Piton and Lai and Nangang to still hate each other because of the nastyness of the year. Piton was once known for producing wool. This business is very profitable. You can plan it for me, and then summon one or two big merchants. It is a pity that Piton's wool was wasted in vain..."
Ribo began to talk about business affairs, Earl Robert had no interest anymore, he had no ideas except for secretly crying out in his heart.
Inciting Nangang's businessmen to fight for independence was originally a good idea that he thought of.
Although he doesn't think that this trick alone can solve the problem completely, but at least it can make these southerners mess up.
At that time, he, a big man who is known for his toughness, is the most suitable person to come forward to solve the problem.
However, I didn't expect that this young man would frustrate all his plans with just a few words.
According to what he said, even if he controls those businesses, it is of no use at all.
It is true that a lot of oil and water can be scraped from the deceived businesses, but in this way, no one will be fooled again in the future.
What's more, he is still not sure how many businesses would be willing to be fooled.
Those businessmen who are profiteering are originally fierce, but they really have to be asked to do it. I am afraid that few people are willing to move out of Nangang.
If I didn’t guess wrong, those businesses just wanted to take this opportunity to oppress the newly appointed lord and reduce taxes.
What's more, seeing Ruibo talking about his ideas there, it seems that he wants the merchants to move out quickly, so as to free up the land in the golden areas of Nangang and let him run it himself.
Earl Robert has a strong feeling in his heart, as if he was making clothes for others.
If it was just Ribo talking to himself there, Earl Roberto might think that this boy was acting.
But Earl Fesnan, who was able to hear him there, had his eyebrows beaming and beaming. Obviously, everything this young man said made this guy irritated, and I'm afraid this guy can't wait to do it.
Earl Robert has also collected information about this lord.
Because this young man is obviously not just a useless puppet as Count Martyr described.
What shocked him was that this young boy had a high prestige in Surthburg.
But what made him feel frustrated was that neither he nor the knights under him could detect further information. This young man seemed to be a mystery.
Now, Earl Robert finally understands why the officials of Searthburg are so obedient to this young man.
Compared with those idiots, this boy is indeed much smarter.
Standing beside and listening for a long time, the envoy has made up his mind and gave up the half-planned plan, because the plan has obviously failed completely.
And another idea also breeds and spreads in Earl Robert's heart at the same time.
Earl Robert has decided that he will never allow this young man to live in the world. He will become the biggest obstacle to his control of Surthburg.
