010. Goodwill
Despite the outrageous things that Oster had already telled, Alan didn't trust him easily, let alone let him go.
The next day, as soon as the bell rang in the morning, a fast horse left Fort Sheissen and went to Fort Golden Spike as fast as he could.
"Actually, if I go back in person, it will be much more efficient than Hannah. ”
Oster glanced at Alan next to him and sighed silently.
As the proud son of the Peters family in the eyes of others, only he knows his status in the family, if it is just Hannah going back, it is estimated that Baron Fidel will have to think about it.
But in the end, I think I'll bring money.
Alan didn't answer, glanced at Oster obliquely, turned to leave the balcony, and left a sentence indifferently,
"Went for breakfast. ”
"Okay, I'm going to drink your chrysanthemum tea!"
Hearing Ulster's shout, Allen, who was walking in front, suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground......
......
Orst guessed correctly, Baron Field did not immediately reply when he heard Hannah's report, but asked the female guard to go down to rest first and shut himself in the study.
He leaned back in his chair, took a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, and stared straight at the bookshelf, his head full of thoughts.
After a long time, Field put down the cigarette butt in his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Shadow, did you say that Orster is really not my child?"
No one would have thought that when Och was trapped in Fort Mussen, the first question that came to his mind would be this.
As soon as Field's words fell, a figure appeared in the dark corner of the study, a pitch-black figure that almost blended with the darkness.
"It is a recognized fact that the empire does not have a blond bloodline, but it is not afraid of the possibility of bloodline mutation, which is recorded in the history books of the empire. ”
The dark shadow's voice was low and hoarse, and it was very intelligent, and there was not much emotion to leak out, which was perhaps why Field asked him.
"It doesn't matter if Oster is your heir or not, the important thing is that you have no way back and must save him. ”
The dark shadow paused, and continued to add, "In the current situation, only Oster can help you save the Duke's wrath. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry when you talk to me like this?"
"I owe allegiance to the Peters family, not you, Mr. Field. ”
After the black shadow finished speaking, he gradually disappeared into the darkness, completely blending into the darkness again, and disappeared.
A wry smile appeared on the silent Field's face, and he pulled out a cigarette again and lit it.
As Dark Shadow said, the relationship in the Peters family, which is based on the Chamber of Commerce, is far more complicated than the average baron family, and once it comes to interests, he is likely to become a superficial baron.
When he finished his cigarette, Field got up, straightened his clothes, and had five thousand gold coins ready, and summoned Hannah.
"Your hand is injured, I'll send someone with you to escort things over. ”
The size of the imperial gold coins is not small, about the size of two coins in Allen's previous life, and the five thousand gold coins are nearly three hundred catties, and Hannah now has a hard time carrying them alone.
"Thank you, Lord Baron, for your kindness, Hannah got it, and the young master had already ordered it before he returned. ”
I saw Hannah call outside twice, walk in with two female guards, and carry the gold coins out.
"Master Orst also explained that thanks to Lord Field's generosity, he will repay it in full when he returns. ”
Without waiting for Field's reaction, Hannah performed the standard chivalric etiquette, turned and left.
Surprisingly, Field had no temper at all about Hannah's indifference, and went to the study alone.
Rocky Valley is important, and he needs to plan next time.
......
Hannah moved quickly, and in the evening she brought five thousand gold coins to Fort Mussen with two guards.
The old butler took his subordinates to count the gold coins in public, and let Locke send them into the basement to be locked.
"Why don't you leave and want to stay here?"
Allen, who was busy with his work, patted the dust on his hands, glanced sideways at Oster, who was sitting next to him, and his tone was full of disgust.
Now that the money has been received, he can't do anything if he keeps Oster, so he simply drives away quickly, out of sight and out of mind.
"You're not a good man, Hannah and your two female guards are still waiting outside the castle. ”
Although Alan doesn't like Olster very much, he has to say that his two female guards are very likable, handsome and elegant.
"What do you mean?"
"Quality is etiquette. ”
"Oh,"
Orster answered softly, continued to pick up the teacup and began to taste it slowly,
"You didn't invite them in, and it's not me. ”
“......”
Alan was really speechless, he didn't expect that this guy's skin was not only white and tender, but also quite thick.
"Why, you're still here?"
"The tea is so fragrant, I am reluctant to leave......"
As he spoke, he drank all the tea in the cup, "Come on, another pot of tea!"
“......”
This guy doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
"Okay, it's okay to live here, fifty gold coins a day. ”
"Yes, come for ten days first, and settle the bill together after staying. ”
Oster didn't care about Allen's lion mouth, he was so arrogant from the Chamber of Commerce family.
Since he didn't mind spending this money, Alan didn't mind earning this money, and the only thing he regretted was that the unit price was a bit low.
When the new floral tea arrived, Oster took a sip and looked up at Alan.
"When are you going to save the Baron?"
Alan glanced at him, but he didn't shy away from it, "Tomorrow morning, Locke is now sorting out the team." ”
"How many militia do you have left? fifty?"
"Almost. ”
Alan was also a little apprehensive in his heart, more than half of these militiamen were farmers who had just been trained, and they were just holding weapons, and if they really clashed with the wolves, they didn't know how many could come back.
"I'll lend you Hannah and the two female guards outside,"
Ouster lowered his head and stirred the flower tea in the cup, and said casually: "Miriam and Rise are both third-level swordsmen, plus Locke, they should be able to deter those three mad dogs." ”
His sudden kindness surprised Allen, and he was a little puzzled for a while.
"Don't look at me like that, I just think it's because of me and I should be responsible for it. Although I have no ill will towards Baron Horn. ”
Alan chuckled and said, "Are you whitewashing yourself?"
"Whitewashing?"
Oster was very smart, and after being slightly stunned, he vaguely understood the meaning of "whitewashing" in Allen's mouth.
"I'm already very white, it doesn't matter if I wash it or not, the important thing is that you think about the matter of Troubled Stone Valley. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a favorability. ”
Alan suddenly realized that this guy was still thinking about Rocky Valley.
Oster valued this place so much, but it made Alan start to wonder, what is the value of this place?
