The Magic Thief Chapter 26:

A ray of light gradually lit up in the darkness, although the front of my eyes was still blurred, as if observing the world through heavy gauze mist, but my vision was slowly becoming clearer, as if the mist was gradually dissipating.

Wake up from the coma, Ribo has recovered a little sense, and he turned his head to just see Miss Randy and Miss Freila sitting on the right side of his bed.

Ms. Randy cheered softly when she saw Riber waking up, but immediately lowered her voice because Miss Freila beside her was deeply asleep by the edge of Riber's bed.

Seeing that although Miss Randy has a tired look on her face, her face is ruddy and her hair is neatly combed, it is obvious that the danger has already passed.

Compared with Miss Randy, Freila’s mental state is obviously much worse. She sees her hair fluffy on her shoulders, her head resting on her arms, lying on the edge of the bed and sleeping deeply, with her breathing, her back It undulates slightly.

"Are you hungry? Still thirsty?" Miss Randy asked in a low voice.

Ribo glanced at Miss Freila who was asleep.

"She has been waiting for you for three whole nights. Let her sleep well." Miss Randy lifted Freila's messy hair, gently lifted it up, hung it on her shoulders, and said softly .

"I've been in a coma for three days?" Ruibo was extremely surprised. He never thought that his injury was so serious. Obviously, he was able to wake up. There are many lucky elements.

"Yeah, but we were so worried. My aunt moved back to the villa for you, but she now lives on the other side of the ground floor, in the room where Lena originally lived. The creatures in your laboratory let her Fear." Miss Randy and Ribo joked, making Ribo happy.

"My aunt has dispatched Count Lai Wei to protect the surroundings tightly. The envoy has absolutely suffered a heavy loss this time. He did not expect that you are a magician, and the royal knight he brought has only escaped more than a dozen people. Most of them fall under your magic." Miss Randy picked everything that would make Ribo happy.

"Do Mr. Hyde and Eckert already know about this?" Riber asked.

"It was Mr. Eckert who brought in Count Fesnan and Count Lavie. He always sent people to keep a close eye on the surroundings of the villa. When the villa caught fire, he had already mobilized Count Lavie's men." Lan While answering, Miss Di lifted up the horns around Ruibo, her gentle look, as if a wife was taking care of her husband who had been ill for many years.

But in Miss Randy's eyes, besides gentleness, there is a hint of blame and worry.

Ribo was extremely disturbed by this gaze, and said apologetically: "I was too careless this time, I wouldn't have been hurt originally."

"Promise me, don’t take risks like this next time. You make us all very worried, not to mention Miss Freila and me, even Aina and the others have been unable to sleep for several days. , And the Miss Ronna. She and her friends are here all day long, and they may be here in a while." Miss Randy did not say a word of reproach, but her warmth made Ribo Feeling deep self-blame.

Ribo felt that he was owed more and more emotionally, and he worried that he would not be able to pay off all of this in the future.

Perhaps, he really is about to become a **** like his nominal father.

"What are Mr. Hyde and Eckert doing? They shouldn't be silent about this." Ribo asked.

"I don't know this very well. You can ask Mr. Eckert yourself, and I will send someone to invite him here." Miss Randy obviously didn't want to participate in those conspiracies and assassinations.

"Is Mr. Hyde away?" Ribo asked.

"Mr. Hyde seems to be away. Recently, something big happened in Nangang. It seems to be related to you. Let Eckert tell you." Miss Randy said this, and put her finger on Ribo's lips. Lightly nodded, beckoning Ruibo not to speak anymore.

Ribo felt a panic in his heart, which was an inexplicable panic.

Miss Randy looked at Ribo, she didn't want Ribo to be worried about the bad news as soon as she woke up.

"You have slept for three days and three nights. You must be very hungry. There are fresh sea crabs in the kitchen that have just been shipped from Nangang. I asked Ailian and the others to pick out the crab meat." Miss Randy said, let this The best way for a little husband to shut up is to seal his mouth with delicious food.

Speaking, Miss Randy stood up and walked out the door. The wooden door that had just been repaired made a creaking sound.

Ms. Freila, who was lying quietly beside Ruibo, was suddenly awakened. She opened her dim sleepy eyes. When she saw Ruibo who was already awake, Freila hugged Ruibo happily. , Kissed. Compared with Miss Randy, Miss Freila's way of expressing joy is obviously much more intense.

"Okay, everything is over. Miss Freila invites you to take care of Ribo. I will leave." Miss Randy avoided.

"I don’t allow you to take risks like this in the future. I saw you unconscious for the past three days. I was so worried. That **** priest even scared us, saying that you won’t be able to wake up forever if you don’t do it well. "Freila's words are very similar to Miss Randy's, but the two of them have completely different voices.

"You are worried, are you?" Riber looked at Miss Freila's haggard face, feeling heartbroken and ashamed.

"Yes, I can't eat and sleep. Are you proud?" Freila glared at Riber, then kissed him, and then put it in Riber's ear and said, "Miss Randy is also very worried. You. I know, she cried several times behind our back."

Hearing what Freila said, a warm current surged in Ribo's heart.

"Now that I wake up, you don't need to worry anymore. I want to make up for you." Ribo said sincerely.

Miss Freila smiled secretly and said: "If you want to repay me, you should wait until your body recovers. I want you to make up for me. I won't let you go."

"Do you want to increase interest?" Ribo quipped.

"My interest rate is very high." Miss Freila did not refuse to come.

Compared with Miss Randy's restrained maturity, Miss Freila's enthusiasm and unrestrainedness are also his favorites.

"By the way, something seems to have happened to Mr. Hyde, but Miss Randy refuses to tell me, do you know what it is?" Riber didn't get any news from Miss Randy, so he hit his mind. On Rila.

Miss Freila curled her lips and said: "My thoughts have been on you for the past two days. Where can I manage other people's affairs?"

"But don't worry, Mr. Hyde can settle everything. You are so tender compared to him! You are just a little smarter, and you have the status of an apprentice of magic." Miss Freila laughed. Said.

"By the way, the villa was burned by a fire, why we still live here, I originally thought everyone would move to the city of Sorthburg." Ribo said.

"It's not because of you. The elder said that your injury is serious and it is best not to move it at will. As for the fire, the villa has been renovated. The stairs and the second floor of the living room are the most damaged places. It is impossible to restore it to the original state. Miss Meding transported the collections that have been kept by the family for generations back to the old house in the city, and the second floor was re-arranged.

"The loss on the third floor is not great, not to mention that there is your laboratory there. Without your permission, we dare not move the room at will. What's more, the caterpillars in the laboratory are not handled by us. There was no loss in the study, except that the floor was a little burnt because of the fire on the second floor. The old lady had already been repainted and waxed." Miss Freila said eagerly.

Ribo is not too worried about hearing that the laboratory and study are not damaged. For him, this is his greatest asset.

While talking, Miss Randy walked in and followed the three maids behind her.

The glass plate in Miss Randy's hands was filled with jade-white crab meat, and the other three maids were carrying basins, towels and cutlery.

Ribo, under their service, took a brief wash, and then started to enjoy his first meal in three days.

Miss Randy wrapped a napkin for him herself, while Ellen stood aside and arranged the tableware neatly.

Because Ruibo lost too much blood, his favorite lemon juice was replaced with ordinary sour vinegar.

"How is Lena's body?" Ribo asked in a word.

"You still think about others!" Ailian snorted, she was the liveliest of the three maids.

"Don't worry, Linna's body is healthier than you. She could already get out of bed and walk, but Miss Meding told her to rest for a while." Qinna comforted, she didn't want Ribo in a hurry.

"Ribo, you can recover quickly. When your health is better, we will move to the city. The villas in the suburbs are relatively remote and not safe. My aunt has already cleaned up the old people in the city. House. Count Fesnan also meant this, he was afraid of that kind of accident again." Miss Randy said.

"Aren't those royal knights almost dead?" Xue Na interrupted.

Miss Randy glared at her lightly, but there was a smile on her mouth, which was obviously not really angry.

"The Lord Roberto Baird did lose his army, but it is hard to say that he will not find some helpers. This time he will definitely not be so reckless. He already knows Ribo’s identity as a magician. He will definitely To deal with us in the same way as the magician, it will be a more violent and rapid attack." Miss Randy said this to Ribo.

"How many subordinates did that envoy lose?" Ruibo was very interested in his success.

Miss Randy finally decided to satisfy her little husband's wish. For a patient, pride is not a bad thing.

"Your magic is very deadly. At least 20 royal knights died on the spot, and most of the remaining people were paralyzed in bed. The pastor of the church told me that they might spend the second half of their lives like this. There are probably less than ten who are lucky enough to recover. Now Earl Roberts is alone and almost everyone is watching his jokes. He does not even have a guard of honor by his side."

Ribo was really happy when he heard Miss Randy's description, and he was really excited to have such a result.

While Ruibo was enjoying a hearty breakfast accompanied by beauties, the sound of horseshoes and the sound of horse-drawn carriage driving into the bluestone ramp in front of the villa came from the window.

"Mr. Eckert must be here. I ordered someone to invite him." Miss Randy guessed.

Ellen opened the curtains and took a look outside: "Miss, you guessed it right, it's Mr. Eckert."

Miss Randy nodded and waved to the maids to go out with her.

Of course, the responsibility for taking care of Ribo falls to Freila.

Frera is not as shy as Miss Randy. She sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against Ribo. This was something she was used to. It was her skill at attracting and teasing guests, but with Ribo There is a different kind of warmth when being close together, Freila likes this feeling very much.

The door was opened, and Eckert walked in, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, but instead of carnations often brought by visiting patients, it was a bouquet of yellow orchids.

Putting the bouquet on the edge of Ruibo’s bed, Eckert glanced at Freila, who was affectionate with Ruibo. He had to admire his student’s superb skills. He actually had the ability to pick this thorny flower. Rose.

In their circle, there have long been rumors that the guy who can pick the flower of Freila can definitely be called a man among men.

Because Freila is not only the most beautiful prostitute in Nangang, nor is it just because of her million-dollar wealth, not because she is knowledgeable and talented, but because she has never looked at any man in her eyes.

Even the boss is nothing more than an old man who owes a favor to her, and Kierle doesn't take her seriously. As for himself, what embarrassed Eckert was that he had been pierced severely by this thorny rose.

This is not just a rose with thorns, but a rose with thorns. A pierced one can make you hurt for a while.

"Ribo, I am so happy to see that you can wake up. I have sent someone to inform Mr. Hyde of this matter. He will come to Sarthburg as soon as possible." Eckert said with a smile. .

"Has Nangang's matter not been resolved yet?" Ruibo asked in a puzzled manner. He originally thought that Nangang should have nothing to do.

Eckert hesitated for a while, then looked at Ribo again, until she was sure that Ribo’s spirit was quite good, then slowly said: "We may be in big trouble, the Count Robert did not know how to use it. Some rhetoric moved some businessmen, they are clamoring for independence and self-government."

"Didn’t I have settled this matter? I have asked Count Fesnan to move those businessmen who are clamoring for independence from Nangang. Why are there still things?" Riber didn’t want to claim how clever he was, but he I clearly remember that when Earl Roberts heard that he was dealing with the independence of the merchants in Nangang, the expression on his face indicated that he had planned to give up making a fuss about the businessmen in Nangang.

"Earl Robert had already planned to let go. He felt that this matter was not very promising, and it might also give you a lot of benefits from it. But now the situation is a bit out of control, and the businessmen seem to be from Count Robert. I can see that there are some differences between the king and Sirthberg, coupled with the benefits that Robert promised, those businessmen intend to benefit from it, and some even wrote directly to His Majesty the King." Eckert told Ribo Southport in detail. Everything that happened.

"Don't they know that this is seeking food with the tiger?" Ribo asked in confusion.

"The things in the world are not that simple. Those who were born and raised in Nangang and worked so hard to build this place to the scale of today will definitely not think this way, but those who came later, those who thought they had a way The merchants in China, those merchants who have inextricably linked with the nobles of other places, they don’t think so.

"If His Majesty the King takes back his power, he will not do anything to them. They can still enjoy the privileges. Moreover, after driving away the merchants who were entrenched in Nangang, the trade of Nangang will all fall into their hands. Therefore, there are many people who want to make a profit from it. They not only rely on the power of Count Roberto Baird, but also the support behind them."

No one knows the darkness, greed and stupidity of human nature better than Eckert, and he explained everything to Ribo carefully.

"Mr. Hyde can't help these people?" Ribo was extremely surprised.

Eckert certainly knows what Ribo thinks in his mind. After spending so long with them, Ribo now thinks in the same way as them.

For thieves, the ultimate solution to problems is to resort to force.

The thieves can be said to be the most admired profession in the world, even far above soldiers and knights.

Because the war between soldiers and knights is, after all, an upright and upright battle, they have always maintained a cautious attitude towards force, but thieves are completely different. These are characters who walk in the dark and are good at stabbing knives from behind. , The cognition of force is cruel, fierce, unrelenting, and believes in the first to strike first.

"Mr. Hyde naturally has enough means to deal with those businessmen, but..." Eckert hesitated and said: "But, our ally, Mr. Meyer, he does not want to make this place of Southport a violent world. , His proposition is contrary to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Meyer is uniting the members of the chamber of commerce he can influence, intending to divide the businessmen who are united in a fight for independence through negotiation."

Ribo frowned. He had absolutely no idea that things would become like this. Now the situation is completely out of control, but the reason for the loss of control is not on them, but the foundation of the whole plan has been shaken.

"What is Mr. Hyde going to do with this matter?" Ribo asked worriedly.

Eckert took a look at Ribo, and finally decided to tell him everything, because his student has become an extremely important part of the whole plan. It is not a good thing to conceal information from him, let alone. There is no need for this.

"The prosperity and development of Nangang is not only attributed to Mr. Meyer, but Mr. Hyde has also contributed a lot to this. Neither of them wants the city to become depressed and dilapidated, nor do they want those Nangang people to build it for generations. The city was turned into a bubble because of the selfishness of some outsiders.

"The purpose of the two people is the same, but the methods used are different. Mr. Meyer has always adhered to his principles, the principles of merchants, but the opponents he faces are not real merchants, and they will not abide by them. A guideline that real businessmen will abide by.

"Mr. Hyde also has his own principle, the principle of thieves, at least this principle has never been wrong before.

They both plan to stick to their own principles and hope that the other party will give up. How is this possible? Mr. Hyde has prepared Kyle to implement his plan once Mr. Meyer fails in negotiations. "

Eckert tells the whole story of what they planned.

Ribo frowned and listened attentively to all of this. He was indeed worried, worried that things would get out of hand.

"What if Mr. Maier firmly opposes? He may publicize our affairs. He knows many things." Riber said with a frown.

"You can rest assured that Mr. Hyde is quite aware of what a stubborn fellow Mr. Meyer is, and Mr. Hyde is a cautious person himself, he will not ignore unexpected dangers." Eckert Said meaningfully.

Ribo nodded thoughtfully. He could understand everything Eckert said.

The room was silent, and everyone stopped talking.

Ribo's heart is full of worries, worrying about the fate of Nangang. After all, he is also the kind of person Eckert said was born and raised in Nangang and contributed to the prosperity of Nangang, although his power was extremely limited before, and the contribution he could make was also extremely limited.

The other thing that worries him is that he absolutely does not want Mr. Hyde and Mr. Meyer to fight each other.

If Mr. Hyde is the hero in his mind now, then Mr. Meyer is undoubtedly the most respectable figure in his mind back then.

Mr. Maier has almost become a symbol of Nangang businessmen. He has all the advantages of Nangang successful people-honesty, diligence, fairness, and modesty.

Mr. Maier's extraordinary mind is equally amazing.

I think his brilliant business methods used to be one of the reasons I admire him.

Ribo does not want to see Mr. Meyer become a dangerous presence in Mr. Hyde’s eyes. Because he knew very well that Mr. Hyde would never tolerate the huge threats hidden around him.

Mr. Hyde may be a brave adventurer, but he is definitely not a brave adventurer.

Ribo can be sure of one thing. Once Mr. Maier becomes a threat to the entire plan, then he will not face anything else, but will be the deadly dagger that Kyle stabbed from the dark.

"Eckert, I want to ask, which camp does Mr. Madild belong to?" Ribo asked softly.

For his former club, he is still full of affection, after all, the old club helped him when he was most impoverished.

"Don’t worry, your previous employer did not participate in any camp. Like most businessmen in Nangang, he handed over daily business dealings and shop management to his subordinates, and he himself already lived in Overseas, I went to enjoy the best sunshine of this season in the villa on the island of Lemei Inner." Eckert comforted softly.

Ribo just felt a little relieved.

"You have a good rest. Your failure to recover is the biggest loss for each of us. I will visit you tomorrow." Eckert saw that Ribo had no more questions to ask, so he hurriedly left. Because he really has too many things to deal with.

When Eckert opened the door, he saw Miss Fanny and the Miss Justine standing outside. The faces of the two girls showed unstoppable joy.

Miss Freila got down from the edge of the bed wittily, holding Miss Randy's hand, and slowly withdrew to the window.

"Does the wound on your body still hurt?" Miss Fanny's opening remark was as gentle and considerate as her character.

"Ribo, you are really not easy. Now the whole city is spreading about how you used magic to defeat those royal knights. It's a shame that you didn't hear those rumors. It's really wonderful." Justine also Showing her usual liveliness and unrestrainedness.

Ribo saw a very delicate small bamboo basket in Justine's hand. He guessed what was in it, delicious food? Or is it a supplement given to him by the Tornham family?

Ms. Justine didn't want Ribo to bother about these trivial matters, put the basket next to Ribo, and Miss Fanny opened the basket by herself.

I saw that the basket was almost filled with lucky rulers made of paper.

These lucky stars, folded from red, blue, and yellow paper, are handcrafted so meticulously, every seam, every fold is so meticulous.

How much effort it takes!

Ribo felt that his debt to Miss Fanny seemed to have increased by a large amount, and to make matters worse, there was one more creditor this time.

A Miss Fanny is enough for him to have a headache. Now that Miss Justine joins in again, Ribo doesn't know what to do.

"We don't know you have woken up, otherwise we will definitely bring something delicious to see you." Justine said excitedly.

"When my physical condition stabilizes, I will definitely visit the Tornham family." Ribo wanted to use this usual diplomatic rhetoric to dismiss this innocent and lively girl.

But Justine obviously didn't care about Ribo's indifference, or she was already prepared for it.

She smiled without answering, but looked at Ribo intently and affectionately.

This kind of method is something Ruibo has never tasted before. He only now understands why the saying goes: It is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty.

The sincere love of girls is indeed a torture sometimes, at least Ruibo is very uncomfortable now.

"How did you spread the news about my injury recently? I really want to hear it." Ribo quickly found a topic that would help him get rid of this embarrassing situation.

Freila and Miss Randy looked at each other and laughed. They both felt extremely amused by Ribo's poor performance.

Freila is all about watching good shows. This is due to her character. Although she loves Ruibo and loves it deeply, but Ruibo's embarrassment still makes her very interesting.

Although Miss Randy is willing to relieve Ribo's embarrassment, she is embarrassed to intervene in the emotional entanglement between Ribo and the two young ladies. After all, she is also a part of this emotional entanglement.

"Everyone is crazy. Everyone knows that Earl Roberts planned this incident. On the day you were injured, the news spread and the whole Surthburg was a sensation. My grandfather was asleep in the middle of the night. After waking up, the first thing he wanted to visit you was just because the elder Mondi said that your health is very bad and you need absolute rest, so he just gave up. However, he and others were moved by the wind. Those who care about you, went to visit the Earl Roberto Baird together, and wanted to question him about this matter, but the envoy left Surthburg early because of the conspiracy, so Grandpa and the others ran in vain. "Justine said eloquently. She must find all this very interesting. After hearing this, her sweetheart will be extremely proud, and her mood will definitely become very happy.

"Ribo, there are many people who worry about you. Knowing that you are now awake, I am afraid the whole of Surthburg will be celebrating. When you were unconscious, my parents and Justine 'S parents prayed for you in the cathedral. In the past few days, the bells of the cathedral have never stopped. You are loved by most people in Surthburg, and I am absolutely sure of this."

Miss Fanny whispered.

"Viscount Telbo also prays for me?" Ribo asked in surprise. This Viscount Lord never seemed to say anything about himself, because his "father" had taken away his love, and because he made his daughter fascinated, this Viscount always seemed to hate himself to the bone.

Will he pray for himself?

Ribo is simply unimaginable.

Seeing Ruibo’s face of disbelief, Justine raised her lips and pushed Ruibo aggrievedly and said: "Don’t you don’t believe it, don’t always think that my father treats you as a dirty Shameless, despicable rascal, pervert, inferior. But... But my father still cares about you. He once said in private that you are quite suitable as the lord of Searthburg, and may even be better than the old lord. Stronger. My father rarely praises others."

Justine showed a "you should be honored" look.

But she immediately remembered that she was talking to her sweetheart, and she stuck out her tongue and drew behind Fanny.

Ribo's thoughts surged when she heard Justine's innocent words that day.

He didn't do anything, but was welcomed to such a degree, it seemed that Surthburg really wanted a lord who belonged to them.

I remembered what Eckert told myself just now, Nangang is not just because different people have different interests, so their ideal lords are also different, because of this, Nangang will fall into this The chaotic situation.

Ribo doesn't know how to treat all this.

As a Nangang native, he really hopes that Nangang can become an autonomous city independently, because the existence of a lord is always an obstacle to the freedom and prosperity of Nangang.

An enlightened lord can indeed make this land prosperous and prosperous, but a greedy lord may be more unscrupulous than the current His Majesty, and even more unscrupulously search for the wealth that Nangang people have accumulated for generations.

Unfortunately, as a person who is completely stranded in this dispute, Ribo knows very well that the freedom of Nangang is based on the enlightened and laissez-faire of the Medin family. As the hereditary territory of the Medin family, this fertile land can be guaranteed not to be controlled by His Majesty the King. This is a conflict that is difficult to reconcile.

You can get freedom under the rule, but once you get rid of the rule you will lose your freedom at the same time. What an ironic thing this is!

When there is no freedom and peace outside the prison, the prison is the best safe haven. There is nothing stranger than this.

The two young girls who didn't know what Ribo was thinking about, stared at the Prince Charming in their hearts in a daze, while Miss Randy thought Ribo was worried about Earl Robert.

Indeed, Earl Robert is a difficult character.

Take this action as an example, anyone can tell that Earl Roberto arranged the killing. The envoy not only dispatched the killer, but also arranged a team of people, intending to deal with the little lord in the name of manslaughter after the assassination failed.

But even though everyone knew about it, Earl Roberto left no handle. Although, in this matter, he left footprints everywhere, but none of the footprints can be traced back to him clearly.

All the assassins were dead, and the last one was killed by Earl Roberts under Ribo's nose.

Miss Randy also did not expect to get evidence from the knights under Lord Robert.

Although these knights may not be brave and fearless soldiers, and although the royal knight’s reputation is not very good, these people certainly dare not stand up and testify against Robert Roberts, because their families are in the capital, and the Royal Knights can Control their words and deeds easily.

Miss Randy is deeply worried about how to deal with this envoy. Although she believes that Mr. Eckert will definitely figure out a way, she has to protect Ribo before she fully recovers. Security.

Among all the people, the only one who understands what Ribo is thinking is Freila. She is also from Nangang. Ribo’s questions are the difficult problems that plagued her back then.

She used to hate the nasty old bustard who lured herself down this dirty road so much. In her eyes, the old bustard is undoubtedly the devil who **** blood on her and uses her body to make money.

But it was this devil who allowed himself, his brother, and those poor children to get through the most difficult years.

When it comes to the number of people saved, the old bustard is undoubtedly more than all the clergy in Nangang combined.

Of course, Freila didn't think that old bustard was really so kind.

After the plague, the number of girls in that brothel increased tenfold, making countless money for the old bustard. This is an indisputable fact after all.

※※※

In a cabin deep in the Butte Forest, Earl Robert anxiously awaits the arrival of the guests he has invited.

The noon sun is also pale and weak in this season. The trees in the Bart Forest have already begun to fall when the autumn just arrives. Now the surrounding area is already bare, with only a bunch of branches criss-crossing. There.

The bare branches can't stop the cold wind, and Earl Robert feels chills.

However, in order to show his strength and unshakable will in front of the businessmen in Nangang, he must stand under the cold wind with a straight face and stare into the distance.

Earl Roberts didn't even dare to retract his neck, so that the **** cold wind could not get into his collar, and he didn't dare to walk around at will, because it was a sign of restlessness.

He is waiting, waiting for an ally who has finally won over.

The ally is still hesitant to this day.

Earl Roberts didn't know if what he had in his hands was enough for this ally to take refuge in him completely.

Just as he was restless in his heart, but his face still showed his usual calmness, the sound of horseshoes was heard from the highway in the distance.

A black-painted horse-drawn carriage came slowly here, and the driver who was driving the carriage was not very familiar with the road, so he often had to stop the carriage to confirm the direction.

Earl Roberts had already seen the carriage on the hillside, but it was not so easy for the coachman at the foot of the hill to find him among the dense branches.

The envoy wanted to yell twice to get the driver's attention, but this would destroy his immovable image.

Fortunately, the carriage finally continued to move forward, rounding a bend, and a corner of the wooden house was exposed at the end of the straight mountain road ahead.

The coachman did not hesitate just now, and drove straight along the mountain road.

Earl Robert looked at the carriage, which was the one that can be seen everywhere in Surthburg.

On both sides of the black carriage without any luster, there are not expensive glass, but two lattice windows. Four old horses that are about to be immobile, pull this dilapidated carriage and put it on the roof. In the luggage cage, two suitcases were stuffed indiscriminately, which was obviously just a disguise.

Earl Robert can't help but admire the caution of his allies. That ally came to this place in such a carriage, but it was carefully arranged.

Earl Roberts waited for the ally to open the car door and walked out of the car. He did not expect that it was not the person he expected to get out of the car, but the driver who drove the car.

The coachman is covered with a large cloak, and his face is completely covered by the wide brim.

Unexpectedly, Earl Roberts did not expect that the coachman gently removed the brim of his head, revealing a familiar face.

"I didn't expect it, your Excellency is indeed cautious." Count Roberts looked at his allies and finally showed his rare smile, perhaps because he hadn't smiled for a long time, so this smile looked extremely strange.

"There is no way, the envoy does not know what the situation is now." The man said slowly, in fact, this time to see the envoy, it was not his own will.

"Come in, the guests have arrived." Count Roberto said as politely as possible.

He is no longer the special envoy of the infinite glory. Although the aura of the imperial minister has not been removed, his prestige has undoubtedly disappeared due to that failed operation.

Earl Robert knew that he would face a group of angry southern aristocrats when he returned to Surthburg, and they would not be afraid of his strength and coldness. The acting lord and military chief would definitely not Will help myself get rid of all this.

Earl Robert did not know whether the letter he sent to His Majesty the King had already arrived at His Majesty’s table. For this failure, he attributed all the blame to the deliberate arrangement of Earl Martial.

This **** guy has obviously been completely bought by the unpredictable Prince Phillips. The information he provided has undoubtedly woven a huge and tight net, covering himself and His Majesty.

Surthburg is not at all under the control of the acting city lord and military chief, as he said, and the heir to the lord is not a puppet without his own opinion.

The fact is quite the opposite. It is the little lord who hasn't grown up yet who really controls Surthburg.

This young man is the smartest and best planning figure he has ever seen.

Compared with this young man, although his cousin Rowanel is expensive as the undersecretary of finance, he is as immature as a shop apprentice, even a well-known powerful figure, the scheming Duke of Phillips The adults don't seem to be proficient in business.

The strategy that I worked hard to figure out was almost easily resolved by this young man.

Fortunately, there are many people who have great selfishness among the business people. They want to use themselves to obtain huge benefits, and they are willing to be used by themselves.

Even so, Earl Robert dare not put all his expectations on these people, he has decided to use the most powerful weapon in his hand.

Although, this has violated His Majesty's final wish.

Earl Robert has decided to bet everything about him and His Majesty in this gamble.

"My envoy, you will be called down here, presumably because of the identity of the heir of the lord. This has become a thing recognized by everyone, not to mention, because your subordinates missed their hands and injured the heirs of the lord. Now, any negative identification of the heir’s identity will be regarded as a malicious infringement by all the officials in Surthburg. I am not able to withstand such a strong pressure.” The invited guest said, he obviously did not Too willing to enter the wooden house.

Faced with this guy who seemed to be upright and incorruptible, Robert felt a wave of anger was rising violently. No one knew better than him how ungrateful this guy was. Usually, he always shows the appearance of a fair, honest, upright and noble gentleman, but in secret there is no less collusion with the filthy scorpion of Earl Martill, and he does some detrimental deeds.

It's just that he is better than Earl Martial in that he never shows his face, and always directs his actions to do this and that, and when the Martial family was run down and fleeing, he actually fell into trouble with his former partners. The deeply hidden properties of the Martyr family in Surthburg were unearthed one by one by this well-knowing fellow.

Except for a small part of this huge property that was used as the ill-gotten wealth of the Martial family to the heir of the lord, in exchange for his stronger and unshakable position, the other ones were all To this greedy guy privately swallowed it up.

The corners of Count Robert's mouth moved twice, and he tried his best to suppress his anger. Now is definitely not the time to tear his face.

"Viscount Faris, I did not plan carefully for this failure, but how could I know that your lord heir is a magician? You didn't tell me this in advance." Count Robert Roberts He was always brooding about this matter, although he still didn't want to completely tear his face, but he still couldn't help asking questions.

"I thought Count Martial had already mentioned this to your envoy. Lord Robert, you didn't come to me to ask about Master Byndit." The viscount Shrugged and said.

Hearing this ally said this, Earl Robert could not wait to rush forward, leaving a big slap mark on this square face.

"I apologize for not visiting, but my lieutenant once asked you about the condition of Thurthburg. You didn't seem to tell him anything meaningful." Earl Robert said coldly. .

"Really? It must be that your adjutant did not report to you what I warned him. I have reminded him again and again that although the lord is young, he is quite powerful, and he is still a very clever magic. Master, he once killed another magician sent by His Majesty the King in front of us. Presumably your adjutant didn't think that a minor child could be so powerful that he forgot to report the information I provided to you. "Viscount Falis kicked the responsibility to the adjutant who was already lying in the grave.

Earl Robert Roberts has nothing to say about this kind of uncontested matter.

Looking at the guy in front of him who was obviously planning to completely separate himself from him, Earl Roberto had to resort to the last killer.

Earl Martial evacuated all his family from Searthburg to other places in a panic. It is conceivable that this idiot did something extremely deadly that the people of Searthburg hated.

If people know that this Viscount Lord and Earl Martial were once close associates, perhaps the anger towards Earl Martyll will fall on the Lord Viscount.

"Mr. Faris, when Earl Martír was in the capital, he was deeply impressed by the grace that your Excellency gave him when he was in trouble, so he praised your conduct in front of His Majesty the King and me. .

"You must not have imagined that the Earl Martial kept you and his letters completely. These letters mentioned that you were involved in the illegal act to prove the identity of the heir to the lord. These letters are now in my mind. In the hands of.

"I don’t know what Earl Martial has planned, but I know that he must have offended most of the people in Surthburg. If I give these letters to the heir of the lord, you say, you will face What kind of predicament. Of course, maybe the heir of the little lord is a magnanimous figure, a true saint, and he will forgive all your actions."

Earl Robert's ridiculous words made the Viscount lord fight a cold war. This is the thing he is most afraid of being mentioned by others.

The connection with Earl Martial is a big rock that has always been in his heart.

The most hateful thing is that this guy, Count Martyr, never told himself that the absolute evidence in his hand was actually a finger bone taken from Miss Lisa’s remains. If he knew it, Count Martyr owned it. It turned out to be such evidence, and he would never stand on the same front with him on this matter.

Viscount Faris absolutely does not believe that the heir to the little lord will be a reasonable and generous figure. He was absolutely certain that no one in Surthbourg regarded the little lord as a saint, an angel.

No one will forget that when he stood next to the corpse of the magician, his indifferent look seemed to be accustomed to death; no one didn’t know, that little lord frowned and was impeccably exquisite and beautiful. Disappointedly ordered the craftsmen to shatter all of the glass products to be remade.

If the strong and majesty of the envoy in front of you is an image deliberately displayed, then the heir to the little lord has fully acquired the essence of it. His strong and majestic comes from Inner.

Viscount Faris definitely does not want to be an enemy of the heir of the little lord, he does not want to be the next target of this ruthless and ruthless murderer who is proficient in magic.

What's more, this is Surthburg, the heir of the little lord possesses endless majesty.

What's more, behind the heir to the little lord, there is the Lord Hyde, a powerful figure with a paladin's bodyguard hidden by his side.

However, Viscount Faris desperately discovered that if he did not want to be an enemy of the little lord, he would face another murderer who was even more arrogant.

This envoy is not a good man and a faithful woman. The assassinations he planned were far more thorough and fierce than the assassinations planned by Earl Martial. And behind this envoy, His Majesty the King is backing him, he is much more unscrupulous.

Sandwiched between two beasts of cannibalism, Viscount Faris felt that he had no chance to escape.

"Please, let the guests of Nangang wait so long, it's always a bit sad, let's go in quickly." Count Roberto said with a smile, he knew he had won the first game.

This hypocrite, who is concerned about gains and losses, now has to think about his own opinions.

Looking at the expression of Nanono, Viscount Faris, Count Roberto seemed to have regained his confidence. He lifted his chin, straightened his chest, and walked in with his usual cold appearance. Wooden house.

Behind him, Viscount Falis followed hesitantly.

The wooden house is quite spacious. Most of the house is embedded in the hillside. Therefore, two-thirds of the room is an earthen wall, and only one-third of the room near the door is made of wood.

Like ordinary mountain huts, the windows and doors are closed with ordinary wooden boards, and ordinary people can't afford expensive glass windows at all.

The light that illuminates the room comes in from the open skylights on the roof. In addition to the light, there is a bitter cold wind entering the room. Fortunately, the open fireplace on the wall of the house is burning. The exuberant fire finally dissipated the chill.

In order to seek a bit of warmth as much as possible, the businessmen moved their chairs as close as possible to the fireplace.

Everyone huddled together because they had known each other a long time ago, so the cabin was quite lively.

Seeing Earl Robert come in, all the businessmen stood up, and they all bowed to the envoy.

Although everyone knows that the envoy is temporarily losing power in the battle with the heir of the little lord, for businessmen like them, the envoy is still the imperial minister representing His Majesty the King.

The imperial minister will bring great benefits to all of them.
