Chapter 59: Conspiracy Theories
I actually called myself?!!
Sean really didn't expect that he only came to the other party's house today, and he would have to see himself alone.
Looking at Igonia beside her, at this time, the little witch probably didn't understand why, but just reminded herself: Go quickly, after all, this is the Lord Earl calling you.
As for Arya, she was also in a state of bewilderment, maybe the two viscounts called Isaac and Bernstein could understand it before, but why did she call this remote nobleman who had just come over this time, there were obviously so many people present!
"Lord Vigel, is Lord Vigal from Telemian here?" the man called again.
"I'm here!"
Sean's answer made everyone's eyes turn to him again, and this time there was much more state on everyone's heads than just now.
"Come with me, Lord Earl called you. ”
He gestured to Igonia beside him a little and asked the other party to wait here, and then followed the butler who came to call...... On the way, he also took a special look at the two viscounts Isaac and Bernstein who were surrounded by everyone.
They never said what they heard inside, probably because the adult inside wouldn't let them say it.
But there are so many people here, and it is unknown whether they will say it in private......
"Over here, Lord Vigel. ”
The old man who led the way looked to be in his sixties, but he was very well-dressed.
Seeing that several viscounts were respectful to him, it was estimated that it should be a cronie of Count Hammel's side, and even more than his trust in his children!
There was almost no one on the way, not even the guards guarding the door, and the servants were specially called to the other side to wait...... It was so serious, no wonder the two viscounts just now didn't dare to speak after they went out.
"Go in, Lord Count is waiting for you. The old man stood in the doorway and opened the door and said.
He didn't go in, but pointed Shaun inside......
It was the afternoon, and the evening sunset was at its most beautiful, but the room was so dark that all the curtains were closed.
The smell of ointment wafted through the air in the room, and it was very heavy!
It smells like that burnt plastic, maybe a little better, but it's still uncomfortable.
"Is it from the Vigel family?"
In the dim light, Sean saw a bench at the edge of the room, near the window, with a mattress on it, and on top of it sat a frighteningly white, emaciated middle-aged man.
Let's say he is middle-aged, but his hair is all white, but his skin is not completely wrinkled to old age.
And the children of the Hammel family outside are not too old, and the Count Grim in front of him will not be too old!
But the flesh on his face can already be seen with bones, and it's spring, but he is still wearing thick wool pajamas in winter.
Sean saw the other party's head appear in states such as [Weak!], [Hallucination!] and [Gagging !], etc., and it was the first time he had seen so many negative states.
How could it be so miserable!
Watching the other person slowly raise his head, although he may be hallucinating, he has not yet become delirious, at least he can talk to himself normally.
"It's me, Count Grim, do you have something to do with me?" Sean first asked why he had called him, despite seeing the other party's situation.
"I heard you came over today. ”
The reply is very neat, and it seems that these states have not completely made the other party lose the ability to talk.
"Yes. ”
"I've also heard that you've been attacked by a monster in the market to the southeast today?!! Count Griml said.
When he said this, Sean suddenly looked seriously at the weak earl in front of him...... Is this what the other party wants to ask?
"Yes. Sean replied in the affirmative.
"It seems that Koga City has made a bad impression on you......"
"Thanks to Miss Arya's timely arrival, I was able to save the day. "It's kind of a meeting and talking to people.
Sean looked at each other, and they had already gone around and still didn't return to their own questions.
"Do you wonder why I taught you to come?" it was only then that Count Hamil was willing to continue to talk about the most crucial topics.
"Because I don't think it should be me. ”
"Why?"
"There are a lot of more capable nobles here, and they do a better job than me!" Sean said seriously.
However, I felt that there was something wrong in my heart, and after seeing the other party's state at this time, Sean understood that the other party might not live long, no matter how the other party contracted this strange disease, it was not something that he could get involved with now.
Entrusting orphans with important responsibilities in times of crisis?
How can there be such a good thing.
Do you still think you're the protagonist, no matter how you fight, you won't die?
If I promise you anything now, I might not be able to get out of this house and be killed!
So Sean subconsciously began to refuse, refusing to be dragged into the quagmire......
Your answer is the same as your father's. ”
"My father?" Sean looked at the other.
This is the last Baron Vigel.
"More than a dozen years ago, I wanted to unite all the nobles of the southern region, so I wrote to invite him to Koga City, and I promised to prepare a ranch for you in the area of what is now Shawbend, but at the time he refused in the same way as you do now. ”
Sean didn't know what to say for a while.
"The Basharan Empire has gone through more than four hundred years of history, and the habits of the nobles have long since become different, but in the final analysis, you are still one of us, and you can't be alone, so I took it very seriously when I received the news of the disaster in Telemian this time. Count Griml ignored Sean's reaction and continued.
"The first time I felt sick was three years ago, but it was fine, except for occasional nausea and discomfort. I thought it was just an ordinary illness, and the worst time was in the last two months. ”
Sean looked at each other.
Last 2 months...... That's in the winter.
I remember that after the avalanche at that time, Dan did not say that the other party was so sick when he came back with reinforcements.
"The Earl thinks it was premeditated?"
"That's why I came to you...... Someone has already begun to stretch out their claws to the nobles of the Empire, and although they don't know what the other party's purpose is, it must have existed for a long time. I know that my body is dying, so I need to choose an heir as soon as possible, but I don't want the southern nobles to become chaotic because of my affairs, so I need to tell the nobles who have the power to do next......"
"Otherwise, it will be in the other person's heart!"
At this point, Count Ham slowly tried to sit up.
However, almost all the nobles around him haunted various social occasions, and they may have been targeted by each other for a long time. But only one person is the exception...... You. You are also an exception among all the nobles. Count Griml looked at Sean earnestly.
And at this moment, Sean didn't care too much about whether he was an exception, because the moment the other party said that someone had stretched out his claws, he recalled several special clips in his head.
The avalanche of Creek Village, the magic of Bahel, and the rats in the sewers.
