It slowly became clear to Renard why Cliffor was hostile to James, who was entirely implicated by his uncle Brad.

More than 20 years ago, the demon disaster broke out, and the southern wilderness county was full of wolf smoke and corpses, with the Ambrizette Mountains as the center, the barren land and even the entire Arthurian kingdom were surviving under the destruction of the demons.

As the commander of the Black Cavalry, Cliffor naturally has to protect the safety of the city of Plenty, and inevitably has to fight the demons.

The Demonic Calamity lasted for four years, and four years is not a long time, but it is enough to change many things.

Cleaver's father, the former tax collector of the City of Plenty, died at the hands of demons, and his sixteen-year-old son, Laurien, died at the hands of demons to protect his grandfather.

The loss of his father and son in middle age almost drove Cliffor insane, and if it weren't for Madame Donna's meticulous care, I'm afraid he would now be a homeless man on a street corner, or a pile of bones in the wilderness.

Since then, Cliffor has been addicted to alcohol all day long, and even kicked out of the Black Cavalry for drunkenness, and without a job, he has to enter the circle of mercenaries.

No way, he wants to live, at least for Mrs. Donna.

The pain would have faded over time, but Cliffor was able to pick himself up again after a period of precipitation.

However, his rival Brad didn't know what shit luck had, and he gave his daughter to the Lord of the City of Plenty and became the mistress of the other party, and Brad became the new tax collector.

The power of the tax collector is not insignificant, after all, after taking charge of the finances of the entire city of plenty, after sitting in this position, the long-suppressed Brad began to show off his might, and the first to suffer was Cleaver, a former enemy.

Clifford's father left him an inheritance, which included two bakeries, three grain stores, a winery, and sixty acres of fertile land, which was enough for him to live the rest of his life in good spirits, as long as he did not get into any vices.

However, since Bullard took office, three grain stores have been found to have evaded taxes, and the bakery has lost its supply of raw materials.

The other grain stores were afraid of Brad's coercion and did not dare to sell him flour, so the bakery went bankrupt and closed down, and it became the other party's property.

The winery was smashed by hooligans and ruffians in three days, and Cliffor accidentally injured people and ate a lawsuit, losing all the 60 acres of fertile land outside the city.

Of course, these things can't be a coincidence, there are always hands behind the control, and the owner of those hands must be Brad.

But even if you know who is doing the ghost, there is no way to take the other party without evidence, and even if there is evidence, the difference between the two people's current identities is equivalent to nothing.

Hearing this, Renard suddenly felt that the world was difficult, and he patted the other person on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, wanting to do something but unable to do anything.

Even if he is a descendant of a nobleman, he can't manage the city of plenty, even a king can't, this is the law of nobility.

"Actually, I have a daughter. Cliver sighed deeply and said, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had to be so miserable right now." ”

Renard opened his mouth, and the emotions he had just adjusted suddenly came to naught, and he said helplessly: "I thought you were dead." ”

Cockiffer looked slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately jumped to his feet and scolded: "Fart, you're dead." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cliffor. Renard immediately apologized for his gaffe: "I didn't mean to, I just made a joke that went too far." ”

Seeing his sincere expression, Cliffor calmed down his anger slightly, and then changed the subject: "If it weren't for that bastard James, I guess I would have even hugged my grandson by now." ”

What follows is the same twist and turn, after the death of his son Laurien, Cliver and Mrs. Donna have a daughter, who has just turned eighteen this year.

In Clifford's own words, with long eyebrows and a tall figure, there was no one in the city of plenty, prettier than his own daughter, except for Miss Heidi, the lord's daughter.

Of course, Renard remained skeptical about this, because he felt that the other party's appearance really did not give birth to any good-looking children.

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Cliffor's face was a little embarrassed, and he immediately explained in righteous words: "Don't look at me like this, I used to be a handsome guy in a famous and rich city, otherwise how could Donna take a fancy to me." ”

Renard pondered for a moment, and felt a little credible, after all, Madame Donna was nearly sixty years old, and she could still see a little bit of the beauty of her youth, and a woman like her would not marry an ugly ghost.

As the so-called tiger father has no dog girl, the other party has the strength of a beginner swordsman when he was twelve years old, and followed his father out on adventures.

The two help each other, and although they don't make much money, they have no problem supporting their families.

More than two years ago, the father and daughter took on a task issued by the city hall, and the publisher was Brad's nephew James, and the task was not difficult, but after completing the task, the other party owed the two of them compensation for various reasons.

One is to get angry with his uncle Brad, and the other is to fall in love with Cliffor's daughter and want to approach and pursue her in this way.

Although Cleaver is old, he is not an idiot, how can he not see the other party's intentions, but there is no way to deal with it, after all, he has not broken the law.

After thinking about it, he had to let his daughter leave the land of right and wrong in the city of abundance and go to other places to avoid the limelight.

Fortunately, Cliffor's father was not a strict wife, he had many lovers when he was young, and he had many illegitimate children, and he happened to have an illegitimate daughter in the Constantinople Empire, and I heard that he mixed well.

So the desperate Cliver had to write a letter for help to the sister he had never met, God blessed, he just had the idea of trying it, but he didn't expect the other party to reply soon.

The letter reads: Dear Brother Cliffor, I am aware of your plight, and if you don't mind, you and your family can come and live here.

Cliffor is certainly not so thick-skinned, he just asked his daughter to take refuge according to the other party's address, and in order not to cause trouble to the other party, he will mail his living expenses on time at the end of each year.

Renard was very speechless: "This is why you are poor?"

"Part of the reason is that I spend a lot of money. Colliver's face flushed, and he stumbled and retorted: "Besides, I can't say that I am poor, but I am tight." ”

A person like Cliffor, who wants to save face, will never admit his current predicament, he relieved himself from his embarrassment, and said proudly again: "Ariel successfully entered the Academy of Constantinople two years ago, and her future achievements are limitless. ”

Renard's eyes widened when he heard this: "You said your daughter's name is Ariel, and she entered the Academy of Constantinople two years ago?"
