Chapter 131: Family Treasures
"I'm back. ”
Lear glanced at the audience with a smile.
Thousands of eyes staring at him became fiery. Count Lear is like a thunderous among the nobles of the Starry Sky Continent, and is the fastest-rising and most profitable emerging family in the past two hundred years, and has always been regarded as the leading family of the emerging aristocracy.
At this moment, Natia, Baron Matvey's current mistress, shouted, "Count Lear, you want to fulfill your promise!" She, like Matvey and the others, was chained with magic shackles by the people of the garrison.
Lear looked at her and said, "Let her go, take her to the Earl's Court, and pay her a 'whistleblower fee' of one million gold carats." In Port Lear, Lady Narcia is under the protection of the Earls Court. Hurting her is tantamount to declaring war on the Lear family. ”
Baron Matvey looked at Lear and Natia stupidly, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
Lear's original idea was indeed to sneak into Port Lear, but just a few days ago, Narcia pretended to meet her by chance and slipped him with a note that read, "Count Lear, Zach, the illegitimate son of the former Earl of Lear, wants to murder you." I want a million carats and keep me safe. If you agree, go to the restaurant on the fifth floor at 2 p.m. tomorrow, and I'll give you more detailed information. ”
The next day, Narcia handed him a brief but evidence-proof piece of information that Zach, the illegitimate son of Earl Lear, had Matvey rush to Port Lear with a strange poison called "Infinite Night", originally to help Zach slowly take control of Port Lear. However, after discovering Lear, they changed their plans and planned to use all their strength to kill Lear at all costs when he disembarked.
After getting the news, Lear initially tried to lure the snake out of the hole and get the stolen goods, but he immediately vetoed the stupid idea. He is the dignified Earl of Lear, and he should stifle all the signs of danger to himself, instead of waiting for the sprouts to grow.
Knowing that there is a safer way to choose dangerous means can only be described as damned.
If he waits for Zach to do it, it means that the situation in Port Lear has reached an extremely bad level, which means that he can no longer control Port Lear, and those nobles and merchants will no longer pay attention to him. What's more, he also has a helpless Afra by his side, and he doesn't want to put his woman in danger.
A few months ago, while investigating the assassination of Audrena at the docks, Lear asked the general's steward's wives and brothers, several of whom were swordsmen, and the others were stripped of their duties, and a young swordsman named Alexander voluntarily admitted his mistake, and that night Lear gave him a secret mission to spy on Zack, the illegitimate son of the previous Earl of Lear, and collect evidence of his crimes.
Lear was tempted to kill Zach at the time, as Zach was clearly involved in creating a fake Earl's heir. But no matter what Zach is, he is the illegitimate son of the previous Earl of Lear, his titular cousin. If there is no evidence that Zach is going to murder him, he will do it first, and he will be spurned by countless people in the future.
As soon as Narcia presents her evidence and offers to be a witness, Lear sends a magical message to the High Swordsmen Hal, Catherine, and Baron Humphrey, asking them to contact Alexander to take action and uproot Zack's forces with a thunderbolt the day before the magical cruise ship lands in Port Lear. Of course, he did not forget to maliciously speculate and asked Catherine to report to the general, telling the general that the "Infinite Night" poison in Baron Matvey's hand was to poison the general.
Infinite Night is indeed a poison that can make a high-ranking swordsman lose his ability to fight in three days.
Now, Lear reveals his identity when he gets off the ship, which is to tell all the people of Port Lear and all the tourists that Port Lear is his Lear world, and no one can play tricks, even if he is not in Port Lear!
Lear took Afra's arm and said, "Prepare the carriage and take me to the garrison, and I'm going to meet Zack, the cousin who tried to murder me, murder the general, and maybe even secretly collude with the enemy to use the plague to kill the people of Port Lear." In the afternoon, I will go to the court in person to observe the trial of the case!"
"Bitch!" Matvey suddenly rushed at Nacia like a madman, and scolded irrationally, "You ruined everything for me! You prostitute, for a million gold carats, your conscience is given to the devil! Your family will become the enemy of our family, and I will destroy your family!"
He ran two steps and was pinned to the ground by the guards.
Nathea was unashamed and sneered, "First, it was you who asked me to seduce Zach first, so that I could be the link between the two of you, and let you monopolize the trade between Port Lear and Port Barsa. You think I'm so stupid to sell me and give me only a few hundred thousand carats?Second, if you are sentenced to death for murder, your cousin will succeed you. By the way, we met three years ago, and he pleases me in bed more than you. ”
Matvey then realizes that he is only a baron of Crous, not protected by law in the Homan Empire, and if convicted of murder, Lear can directly execute him.
Matvey hurriedly shouted at Lear: "Count Lear, I confess my mistake to you, I was blinded by Kinkla! I was blinded by that bastard Zack, I was forced." Lord Lear, please spare me, I am willing to tell everything, I am willing to contribute my family property, I am willing to contribute my family treasures!"
Lear paused, looked at him, and said, "If you can show evidence that someone wanted to murder me, I would consider pardoning your sins." ”
Matvey hurriedly said: "I have evidence, I have evidence, it's all in my luggage!"
"Good!" Lear said, turning to the guard, "keep an eye on him, he's not a criminal at the moment, but an important witness." ”
With that, Lear and Afra get into the carriage and leave.
Away from the docks, Lear said to Hal, who was guarding on horseback outside the car, "Go to Nacia in a moment and ask her to send a magical message to Matvey's cousin, telling him that if he can give away half of the Matvey's wealth and family treasures, Baron Matvey's title will be his." If he doesn't agree, he's still Baron Matvey's cousin. ”
Lear doesn't return to Port Lear for a long time, and when he returns, he must re-test his magic to make sure it's not impersonated, and Hal doesn't fully believe it. But hearing Lear say this, Hal immediately confirms that this Lear must be the real Earl of Lear, because ordinary people are not so bad.
Although Afra is kind, she will never sympathize with her enemies, and she covers her mouth and snickers: "Lear, you are so bad, and you are deceiving people. ”
Lear shrugged and said, "I'm not lying, I'm just saying that if he testifies, I'll pardon him." He will be charged with murdering me, murdering the General, subverting the Lear family, undermining the order of Port Lear, and many more, and to show that I am doing what I say, I will exonerate him of one of the biggest crimes, subverting the Lear family. ”
Afra leaned his head on his shoulder and said helplessly, "Anyway, I can't talk about you, you, you, you're the worst." ”
Lear immediately said, "Do you want to show you bad now?" and then touched Afra's skirt.
"Ah......h Even if she was more cheerful now, she was not able to exercise in a carriage on a busy street.
Lear laughed, leaned out the window, stopped the carriage, and called his assistant Watson over, saying, "Build me a luxurious long magic carriage, not only to be comfortable and spacious, but also to ensure strong protection, of course, to ensure sound insulation and shock resistance." But don't worry, I don't need the family's money, I will make the elemental crystal myself. With that, Lear tossed Watson a magic bag.
"Spend all the elemental crystals inside, if I am not satisfied with the magic carriage I built, you can do it yourself. ”
Watson took the magic bag, thinking that it was not all snatched from the Earl's Palace, and it was hypocritical to say that he paid for it.
Watson is a high-level magic apprentice, and he opened the magic bag to see how many elemental crystals were left inside, but he quickly closed it after just one glance, and then he covered his heart with his left hand, and supported a garrison member with his right hand, and said urgently: "Quick, quick, send someone to protect me, and send all the family knights." My heart......"
