Act XXVI

When I heard the news, Alan Ogle was watering the flowers in the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is forty-three years old this year, in the prime of life, but he loves to raise flowers like an old man, and the whole garden is full of flowers of all colors.

The climate of Istar is pleasant, just right for the growth of flowers and plants, fragrant and full of colorful butterflies, and Alan, the captain of the dignified Iron Wolf Guard, is in it with a kettle, looking very leisurely.

"Levi is dead?"

So much so that when the servant told Alan the news, he didn't react for a while, and hesitated for a moment before letting the servant repeat it, and he fell into deep thought.

What kind of person Levi is, of course, Alan knows, on the one hand, he controls the circulation of goods of the major caravans of Ishtar, and on the other hand, he befriends the Council of Elders to obtain policy convenience, and is a typical businessman.

There should be a lot of enmities between this person, but the opponents who dare to kill people directly can't count a few after a rough thought.

After Levi's death, the Istar Chamber of Commerce should elect a new leader, but it is not yet known who will spend it, as for the Senate Council, they only need someone who can control the Chamber of Commerce in the open, as for what that person is called, they should not care too much.

So who is it exactly?

Although Alan has been nominally the captain of the Iron Wolf Guard in recent years, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has been elevated for a long time and has long lost his real power.

He himself showed an indifferent attitude, spending time at home, raising flowers and reading, but in private, he still kept a close eye on the situation in Istal, looking forward to one day returning to the game of power.

Still thinking about it, another servant came to inform the visitor.

"Visitors?"

Alan was a little cautious, the timing was too coincidental for people not to associate with Levi's death.

"It's Lord Sasseon, and he's come to visit you with the mercenary who killed Golem. ”

Hearing the servant's explanation, Alan furrowed his brows.

"Okay, take them to the parlor. ”

As for Alan himself, he changed into relatively formal clothes, and then came to the living room.

Sasston, who was sitting in a chair, immediately got up to greet Alan, and through this subordinate, Alan also saw the mercenary who had come to visit.

Dressed in armor and carrying a heavy sword, he is quite a powerful person at first glance, this mercenary is also accompanied by two maids, one is black-haired and golden-eyed, petite and cute, and the other is blonde and blue-eyed, tall and tall, the two maids are not ordinary servants no matter how they look at it, thinking of some special anecdotes that they have heard, Alan naturally understands.

These two must be the mercenary's daughters, according to Suston, this Mr. Gus has the strength of the bronze rank, and it is normal to have one or two beauties in the company.

"This is Mr. Gus, who saved me from Golem, and can be said to be a hero. ”

Suston introduced, and also introduced Allen's identity to Rosen and others.

"I've heard that the Iron Wolf Guards have sworn to guard Ishar for seven hundred years, but I didn't expect Lord Allen, as the captain, to have such a tasteful preference. ”

Lawson looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"There is too much killing, and sometimes people want peace. ”

Allen was a little stunned for a moment in the face of Rosen's words, and then immediately replied.

"I heard that last night there seemed to be a little commotion in Istal. ”

Rosen continued, by this time, the news of Levi's death should have spread throughout the upper echelons of Istal, and Ai Ethics should have known about it.

"Mr. Gus's information is really fast, and I just learned about it. ”

Alan replied as he pondered the other party's intentions.

"Ishtar has not been peaceful lately, and I am also powerless. ”

"Why is there a weak heart, isn't Lord Allen the ruler of the Iron Wolf Guard?"

Rosen saw that Ella was relieved and immediately asked.

"Ahem, it's old. ”

Alan coughed lightly, then said to Saston.

"Suston, go and investigate the assassination of Lord Levi and put together a document for me. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Saston stood up in some confusion and hurried away after receiving the order, leaving only Lawson and the others in the living room with Allen.

"Okay, what Mr. Gus is here for, can I tell you now?"

The kind expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and Alan looked directly at Lawson and said.

"I'm here to ask Lord Allen if he remembers that oath. ”

When Rosen said the word "oath", Allen's body shook suddenly, and his eyes widened slightly.

"What are you talking about?"

He looked dazed, and his body's reactions were flattened by the Black Iron Order's perfect control ability, but Lawson could still sense the subtle changes.

"Back then, when Lord Allen was a mercenary newcomer, he was attacked by sand worms and almost died, and the consul at that time, Viscount Faramir saved him, and in order to repay his kindness, he also made an oath to protect the Faramor family until death, and it was this oath that I said. ”

Rosen said that this was what Jerome had told him to deter Allen.

"How do you know...... Are you Jerome?"

These things were not originally known to outsiders, and after hearing Rosen's description, Alan immediately realized the truth.

"So what, Lord Allen, is he going to hand me over to the Senate like Lord Levi?"

In the face of Rosen's question, Alan was silent.

Obviously, Levi was killed by the person in front of him, and he might be like him, and he will be in a different place in the blink of an eye.

"Lord Faramor has been kind to me, and the Council of Elders knows that I will not betray him, so they have put me in the air. ”

Alan whispered, smiling helplessly.

"It's a pity, even if I want to fulfill my oath now, I can't do anything, the rule of the Senate Council is so entrenched that I can't shake it at all. If you really are Master Jerome, then I can only advise you to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”

"What if I say I can shake it?"

The voice was heard, but it wasn't Lawson.

It was the blonde maid behind him.

Jerome lifted his hair to reveal his face.

"Young Master......"

Alan was in a trance, the person in front of him looked too similar to Viscount Faramir, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you coming back, Ishtar is no longer a place that the Faramers can control. ”

"The misaligned gears must be put back in place, and I'm here to get back what belongs to me. ”

Jerome didn't care, the Alan in front of him didn't have any hostile aura at all, the captain of the Iron Wolf Guard, he was just lamenting that he was powerless.

"Lord Allen, as the sole heir of the Faramore family, I ask you to fulfill your oath. ”

“...... Can I really help you, Master Jerome? ”

Alan seemed to see the figure of Viscount Faramir saving him that day, and coincided with the young man in front of him.

"Of course, Lord Allen. ”

No matter what kind of mentality the captain of the Iron Wolf Guard has in mind to help Jerome, at least he is now in the same camp as Jerome, and that is enough.

Alan didn't care about Jerome's thoughts, for him, even living in chaos was a lifetime, and since there was a chance to make a comeback, why not try it.

What's more, he now clearly sensed that the mercenary in front of him and the other maid beside him both exuded a very powerful aura, and it was not impulsive for Jerome to be able to obtain the help of such a strong person.

"Well, Lord Allen, here's the plan. ”

Seeing that Alan had already nodded, Rosen said his next plan.

"What, this, that's too risky!?"

After listening to Rosen's plan, Allen's face suddenly changed.

Although these two people are powerful, their style of acting is simply messy, and it is not at all a reckless word that can be summed up.

"No, Lord Allen. ”

Tia looked at the frightened Alan from the sidelines, and there was something amused in her tone.

"Who do you think we are?"
