Chapter 16: The Price of Arrogance
It has been a long time, and the people who participated in this panic at that time are still talking about it, and regard the appearance of Ian IV as an after-dinner conversation.
This kind of operation, even the novel would not dare to write like that.
Of course, the most exciting thing is not the panic itself, but the story that happened after the panic ended.
After hearing the elf's announcement of the results, Isha Scheer's right hand left the affidavit.
At the same time, Ian IV's family account received 100,000 bupanic points.
For him now, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
But this practice, in the eyes of others, does quench thirst.
Why would a nobleman use this method to obtain gold and silver? The Ian family's properties spread all over the country, and even had a good personal relationship with the Black Tower, so they would not come to a place like the capital market to mingle.
Therefore, many people began to have a different understanding of this panic.
They believed that it was Ian IV who had declared himself back, and, with his men.
Yes, others think that way too.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and everyone naturally gave way to watch the knights in armor cross the street and come to the front of Bu Yi Square.
These are all cavalry directly under the government, and the horses under the seat are one in ten thousand, the armor on the body is depicted with mysterious patterns, and the spear in his hand hides mysteries, and the sharp-eyed Ian even saw a structure similar to a firearm.
For every world, the most advanced technology, the most sophisticated equipment, has always been in the best troops, this is what he knows.
The traverser I met yesterday was at best a straggler, and if he took his sniper rifle, he would have no chance of winning against these knights who were comfortable in the city.
"The Grant family, the family crest is a knight. When Isha saw Ian walk up to the Panic Square, she stood beside him.
Unexpectedly, Ian rolled his eyes and whispered beside Isha, "Sister Isa, they are here to find you." ”
Isha froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.
At this moment, the knight at the head had already dismounted, walked up to the square, stood in front of the two men, and took off his helmet.
At this rate, I'm afraid that at the moment when Isha took the oath, the Grant family, or the House of Lords, already knew.
Perhaps, they have already judged the authenticity of this panic in advance.
"Miss Shel. The knight, with his brilliant blonde hair and a knife-like face with a half-wicked smile, glanced at Ian and focused his gaze on Isa: "Remember me?"
"Grant VII. Isha stood behind Ian and made a perfunctory curtsy, her eyes hidden behind Ian's shoulders with a faint murderous aura.
Grant's son of the current head of the family, head of the Capital Knights, and the youngest honorary lecturer at the Knight Academy, Duke Grant.
"Everyone in the capital is looking forward to your return, Miss Scheer, especially our armor designer, who says that without your support, such inspiration would not have been possible. Duke turned to the side in a dashing manner, and got out of the way, and went down from this road to the House of Lords: "Since you are here today, why don't you go to the academy for a cup of tea? My cook just bought fresh cod this morning, it should be to your taste." ”
Met Grant's eager eyes, Isha just smiled.
"Allow me to refuse, Mr. Grant, the young master still needs my company today. ”
At this time, Duke's eyes fell on Ian for the first time. The latter was much shorter than him, and his eyes seemed to have no room for such a stinking child.
"It turned out to be Duke Ian, please forgive me for my rudeness. Duke straightened up and said, "The capital has always been eager to find talents, but I didn't expect to welcome a new guest today." If you don't like it, why don't you come to the academy together to catch up, and we can also appreciate the prestige passed down by your father. ”
Ian listened to this conversation strangely, but he couldn't say the sense of disobedience, like a medieval knight speaking the ancient official dialect of Huaxia.
"No, I have something to do today. This is probably Ian's maximum rejection of lies, and when he said this, he was not inferior to half a point, and he also looked at Duke with his head high, and then turned away with Isha with an expressionless face.
Turn around and go, without stopping. Isha smiled wryly, gave Duke one last look, and quickly followed Ian, leaving only a butt of square dust.
Duke still retained the gesture of invitation, and to be honest, he thought that this conversation was not over, and that Ian IV was nothing more than polite...... Tell a lie.
I didn't expect people to really leave.
"Lord Grant, Lord Grant, don't do this, Lord Grant. The sharp-eyed guard hurriedly stepped forward to stop the young master Duke who was about to go berserk, and the latter was almost about to pull out the accessories.
"Don't stop me, you little bunny, how dare you talk to me like that!"
"Calm down, Lord Grant, this is Bupanic Square. ”
"Humph!" Duke clenched his fists, put his helmet on, and strode back to his group.
The moment he got on his horse, Duke waved the reins and took one last look at Ian's back.
"Forget it, a dead man won't be able to jump for long anyway. ”
On the other side, Ian and Isa, who had left Bupanic Square, were about to pack up their things and go back to their mansion.
Enough of the mess in the capital, and the appearance of the Grant family makes Ian feel that things have taken him by surprise.
There is a feeling of being watched.
Anyway, the goal has been achieved, Isha's existence has gone from dark to light, although she is not clear about her strength, but looking at the attitude of others towards him, this housekeeper should still have some reservations.
"Young master, just now it was obviously a good opportunity to return to the circle. Isha followed Ian and helped him put on his hood. The two of them disappeared again, so no one noticed them.
"No, I'm not ready. Ian wrapped his cloak tightly, the weakness and lack of confidence of this body seemed to affect his judgment, at least, the knight in front of him, he couldn't see through the other party's purpose.
It's like...... Gu Feier has grown up and has a ...... The temperament of the Manda country.
Ian can only be classified as such, the people who grew up in this land always have a secret and crazy atmosphere, as if there is another personality inhabiting the body.
"Who was that guy just now?" Ian didn't have the heart to look at the scenery of the capital.
"Duke Grant, the second son of the Grant family, is a good knight. Because he is a nobleman, he has a lot of squires and knights of the same rank. ”
"Which side does he belong to, and what power does he have?"
"The Grant family is in charge of the armed forces of the Manda country, but does not have the power to restrict economic and cultural development, that is to say, the Black Tower, which is close to the Ian family, and the city of Cowe, which is close to the Fittier family, and even the Charlie family, which is said to have a relationship with Penglai Island in the far southeast, are all holding the Grant family in check. But in the city, the greatest force belongs to them, but they can never threaten the security of the country. ”
"He and we ...... Do you have any grudges?"
Hearing this, Isha was silent for a long time, until they got into the carriage and helped Ian in, and then she spoke slowly.
"On the day your father was killed, Wang Tingwei was not in the capital. They can be hands-on people or they can be people who clean up the battlefield. ”
"But you're not here. ”
"Yes, I'm not there, but I don't know anyone else. ”
"Who should be with my father?" Ian frowned.
"There are a lot of people, young master. There were cooks, gardeners, chauffeurs, escorts, and two servants. But something happened, and I couldn't go looking for it alone, they hid it, or even I didn't believe it. ”
Through the curtains, Ian took one last look at Isha and sat back in the carriage.
The bump restarted, and the moment he left the gate of the capital, Ian's inexplicable chest tightness was finally relieved a little. But the thought that in the future he would inevitably come to the capital or the House of Lords often, at least, half a year before the end of the panic, he would have to be tested by this aristocratic status.
He picked up the newspaper he bought on the side of the road, and the front-page news still belonged to him, even if it was some entertainment magazine, which would always spare a page and a half to record Ian IV's panic in the House of Lords.
The panic has already begun, and every day, the numbers change.
True: Lie = 8639:42789
You know, this is a panic that the entire Manda country is eligible to participate in. In just a few days after Ian left the House of Lords, and when he went to the Black Tower to find Isha, all the city lords had already distributed the Panic Agreement to every corner of the country. The city of Blacktower and Kowi used magic and technology to add a fire to this panic, and the flames were burning in the land of Manda at this time.
Ian is the focal point of the Manda Kingdom, and all the information about his home has been stripped away.
However, it seems that no one knows Isa's identity.
The secrets of his family, it seems, are quite a few.
Mansions on the outskirts of the capital, villas all over the place, subsidized schools, libraries, entertainment venues, these are the properties of the Ian family. The newspaper was not enough, the history of the Ian family, Ian III's hobbies, whether he liked to eat black pepper or white pepper, and some of which he didn't, were all written on it.
But why did they disappear, why did the Ian family decline, and why, the world said that Ian IV was already dead.
None of this was said.
Ian flipped through the newspapers, and most people still thought he was lying, but in this huge gamble, it was ordinary people who participated, and there were few powerful people who spent a lot of money.
The battle has just begun.
Let Isha go to the capital to panic, no one thinks that he just wants to make 100,000 yuan, and more, it is estimated that Ian is trying to do this. For example, announcing his existence, or using Bu Panic's victory to show his ability, no matter what, his actions today will definitely make headlines.
As for those in the House of Lords...... Grant...... Ian touched his head and felt a headache.
There is a plan, but now he has too little information, and his position is not high, and he needs to think about it in the long run.
"There are a billion of them, so take your time. ”
"Young Master, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, Sister Isa, can we go buy something delicious? ”
