Chapter 290: Longing for Freedom
"Bang~" Kennazer Lord Braun's thick palm slapped heavily on his beloved log grain desk.
The cups on the table were shaken and jumped, and the hot black tea in it was also spilled on the table, and the old butler who was standing on the side hurriedly took the rag, lowered his head and silently stepped forward to wipe it.
The housekeeper knew that his master was in a bad mood now, and the reason was because of a note he sent.
A sensational incident happened in the Lord's Mansion tonight, it is said that the Lord's Mansion actually mixed in with assassins, and the entire Lord's Mansion was in chaos. The commander of the guards, Zan Lun, had just woken up from a coma, and was called to the study by the master and scolded him bloody.
As the only guard to meet the Assassins, the third-order Zaren was also saddened by this.
At that time, he actually blocked the Assassin's departure, because at first glance Zan Lun saw a man on his shoulder. Judging by the clothes, it seems to be the eldest lady of the family, and even if it is not, the duty of the head of the guard requires that he must take people down.
At the same time as he was shocked, Zan Lun made a decisive move, but unfortunately the other party easily blocked his attack, after all, the strength of the opponent's fourth order was there. Strangely, the black-robed assassin did not pursue the next ruthless man, but instead made a pause with his push.
In Ziron's confusion, the Assassin lifted his hood and grinned at him.
Then the Assassin rebuttoned his hood and walked away in Zaeron's hesitation.
Zan Lun felt that his hesitation was justified, before his own lord said that the Lord of Thor died on the way to the promotion, although Zan Lun was a little embarrassed, but the matter had nothing to do with him after all, and now it seems that others are clearly successful in promotion.
The third-order fight the fourth-order is hard and there is a possibility that he will die, even if he does not die, it is not very likely to snatch people back, take a step back and say that even if he summons people to encircle and suppress, it is useless, the other party has too many ways to retreat with the hostages in hand.
And didn't the lord always want to match this pair of young people? Anyway, I still don't want to get involved in this kind of passionate game between young people. Zanlun, who had enlightenment, looked left and right, and then decisively knocked himself unconscious, and was scolded by the master.
The Lord's Mansion gradually quieted down after most of the night, Braun had already determined that his daughter Petty had been taken captive, and from Zann's description, it seemed that the fourth-order assassin was also roughly locked, and then the old butler sent another note.
This was left in Petty's room after Saul did it, and the words 'Free City' were written on the paper.
"That's a lot of deception!" Braun slammed on the table as he watched the words on the paper.
The kidnapping of Petty is actually not too big, after all, Braun has always thought that there is an incident between his daughter Petty and Saul, and there should be no problem with safety, and what really makes Braun angry is this way.
The implicit meaning of the other party is that since I can take your daughter from under your nose, I can also blow your dog's head while you sleep.
"Sir...... In fact, there is some content on the back. The butler stepped forward with some embarrassment and flipped the note over.
"You guessed it, it's too much deception. Your daughter will lend me a few days, oh, I mean do something for my territory, and I'll take care of her for you, but that doesn't mean she's safe. ”
"When I clean up Halloville in a while, you'd better weigh it yourself. The note said.
Braun looked at the threat and laughed angrily, the point was that he really couldn't do anything. Even if he is a coalition of three territories, he can kill his relatives in righteousness and doesn't care about Petty's life, and the fourth order in the Free City is not something they can gnaw down casually.
A fourth-order professional can't defeat thousands of enemies on the battlefield, but crushing hundreds of first- and second-order professionals is simply like playing.
"Sir, the eldest lady still has the marriage contract of the Halloville family. The old butler had to be reminded at the right time, the attitude of the main city of Arlantis towards the city of freedom The butler knows, but the specific trade-off is still up to the lord himself.
"Let's drag it out, didn't this kid say he's going to clean up Halloville? Braun waved his hand.
"But sir, if he really succeeds, we won't be able to move even more after integrating the population. The butler spoke.
"What's the solution? Now that he's back, even if I don't care about the union of Petty's three territories, can I bite it down? And once we have a heavy proportion of casualties, any surrounding territory will be our enemy at that time, who will let go of the opportunity to grow?"
"That old man...... Where is the main city?" the old butler stopped talking.
"What about the main city? There is no war supervisor, so when the time comes, he will send troops to perform a scene, and when he writes to him, he will say that if he can't fight, it will be over. The main city, the main city can't want me to bury this old bone in the ground, does it?" Braun blew his beard.
"And the eldest lady?" asked the butler at last.
In fact, it's not that Petty can't be snatched back, and Zalun, who sends out a third-order, can always find an opportunity. But on second thought, what's the point of going back and forth? It's not your own daughter who suffers in the end. Forget it, let them go.
Eventually, Braun sat down behind his desk and wrote a letter to Saul.
The whole letter didn't express any emotion, but only invited Lord Thor to come to Kenadze for a detailed discussion, and the tone was more formal.
"Send the letter. After writing the letter and handing it to the butler, Braun waved his hand a little tiredly.
As the letter was on its way, two figures had just emerged from the basement of the Lord's Mansion in Liberty City.
"Report to the territory tomorrow, remember, don't you always want to prove yourself? This is a great opportunity. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to a few other managers, and you've probably seen them all. Saul said to Petty, who was following him.
"Oh. Petty pursed her lips, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.
"We're all done with that, what are you going to do?" asked Petty, suspiciously.
"What's the matter? You little shiitake mushroom even have to take care of the master? Does what I do has anything to do with you? I have a lot of things to do, and the most important thing is to keep an eye on you, and I will secretly observe your work attitude from time to time. ”
"If it's not satisfying, hehe! I don't mind letting your little ass learn a new song!" Thor shook his palms and shook his head, making Petty's little shiitake mushroom blushing and bowing his head.
"Then I'll do it for you...... What's the treatment?" said Petty.
"As long as things are done well, you can rest assured in this regard. During this period, you will live in the lord's mansion, and someone will be responsible for your food and lodging, and your work will be paid very well, and every penny will be yours. And the holidays, how about it?" Thor encouraged.
"You're going out to play later...... Can you take me with you?" Petty made a new request.
"This ...... Who told you that I was going to hang out? I'm busy all year round, okay? Okay, as long as you behave well, you can go anywhere you want in the whole continent when the time comes. Thor's cheeks twitched for a moment, but finally decided to coax him first.
As soon as she walked up the steps, Beth, who had been waiting for a long time, came up with two small bean sprouts.
"Ahh
"No, I don't, don't talk nonsense. Beth was stunned, then decisively denied it, and stepped forward to help Petty straighten her dress. She wasn't actually lying, at most she watched Petty fall into the clutches and did nothing.
A few people sat down at a small round table in the living room, and soon Andor brought three cups of hot milk.
It's the middle of the night, and a glass of warm milk is good for sleep, that's what Beth said.
Petty held the cup and looked around curiously, she had hardly been to Liberty City since the Lord's Mansion began to be built, and she didn't think that even the Lord's Mansion had been built now.
"What about my marriage contract, will I get in trouble for my father?" Petty suddenly remembered something and covered her mouth in shock.
"What kind of marriage contract? With whom? I can't imagine that your shiitake mushroom also has a market, it's really unpredictable. Thor teased.
"And the youngest son of Lord Halloville's family. Petty has a stalk in the neck, and for some reason, every time Saul speaks, he makes her angry and the world is in chaos. Not to mention the lady, it has become difficult to even speak well.
"That's right, I'm in charge of canceling it for you. Thor waved his hand.
"Why are you canceling it for me? You're not my father. Petty continued to stalk her neck.
"Your father, your father will step aside in the future, and I will have the final say in your affairs from now on. It's for your own good, I'm going to blow up Halloville's dog head in a while, and if you don't mind being a widow, then you can go. Thor spread his hands.
Beth held her forehead with a little headache, and she couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only reconcile silently.
When the smoke cleared, Beth beckoned to Fenkie next to her.
"Fencie, you'll be in charge of taking care of this Miss Petty from now on. Beth instructed.
"Yes, ma'am. Fenki responded deftly.
"Go ahead, take the little shiitake mushrooms and pick a room first. Thor shook his chin.
"I'm not a shiitake mushroom, and I don't need to pick a room, I'm going to sleep with Sister Beth. Petty made a decision right away.
"Then you all go and rest first. Thor waved his hand.
The next day, a more formal and large banquet was held in the Lord's Palace.
This feast was necessary, and in addition to some familiar faces, there were also many new faces that had never been seen before.
These newcomers, who were supposed to be the later management of the Free City, were invited to visit the Lord's Mansion with their wives and children, and at the same time observe the behavior of Thor, the lord who had always been mysterious.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very warm, and while Saul was familiar with everyone, he also officially pushed Petty out and introduced her to everyone. He also pointed out the positions that Petty will be responsible for in the future, and hopes that all managers can support and cooperate.
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
As for whether Petty's relationship with himself will arouse suspicion among those below, Saul doesn't care.
Let them guess, freedom has always been priceless, and it's far better to carry a little gossip than to shed blood.
From today on, with Petty's little shiitake mushroom as a cow and a horse, he can finally be a free lord.
