Chapter 203: The Undercurrent Is Not the Glory of the Heart
"Huh. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ed immediately laughed when he heard Viscount Lancalot's evaluation.
The brief smile was skillful, and Viscount Lancalott felt that his vigilance needed to be on the lookout for this "helper" from the Duchy of Ansendil. But Ed didn't feel angry, fearful, or happy because of his words, and only replied with that one, which could even be understood as an emotionless smile.
Viscount Lanchelot felt that he seemed to be at a disadvantage in this contest.
"You need a cup of coffee?" said Viscount Lanchelot, thinking for a moment.
"No, before I came here - I almost threw up that thing. Ed waved his hand, and the gesture made it seem like he was in his own home, not in Dryden's consciousness, "Speaking of which, Mr. Chard, do you know where the best coffee is?"
"If I remember correctly, the Vetir Territory has the best coffee sales. Viscount Lanchelot did his best to avoid falling into Ed's trap - in fact, his favorite coffee came from the obscure Highlands of Gordega.
"Huh. Ed laughed again, and said slowly, his blue eyes flashing with a hint of sly, "As far as I can see, the coffee in the Goldega Highlands is the best, the terrain and precipitation are suitable, but the people there are like natives living in the forest, and they don't care what kind of land they have. ”
A reluctant smile appeared on Viscount Lancalot's face: "I didn't expect you to study coffee so deeply. ”
"Actually, it's easy to understand—isn't it? This time Ed was talking about "Lord Viscount" instead of "Mr. Chad", "It's not that everywhere is based on sales, and there are many things that change overnight - if it weren't for the fact that the coffee in the Celestial Territory would have come to this point with its not-so-bad quality and the reputation of the Gabriel family?"
Viscount Lancalot, at last, felt that he was much worse than this young man, and was also attracted by what he said.
"As far as I know, your family has a long history, no worse than the others - always conscientious, and always plain. Ed stood up slowly, he was much younger than Viscount Lanchelot, but his tall stature and imposing appearance made him a man of the same status as Viscount Lanchelot, or even more authoritative than him, and the most prominent effect of this momentum was undoubtedly to make him credible, "But in my opinion, it is about the same as the coffee in the Goldega Heights." ”
"Do you really think so?" said Viscount Lanchelot's eyes.
"Don't you think so - my people tell me you have this wish, and I will help you make it happen, because I believe in your potential. Ed said slowly, "A man like Andrew should have been killed by his blindness a long time ago, wouldn't it?and, having heard that your title was earned because of the affection of the previous viscount, is it really true? ”
"This ...... It is true that I was loved by the previous Viscount Lanchelot, who was a good man, but it is a pity that no one could inherit his property. Viscount Lanchelot said.
"So you're an admirable person -- what a great opportunity. Ed said slowly.
Viscount Lanchelot was still a little hesitant, but Ed was too believable - it wasn't anyone else, the Ansendier family chose him, didn't he......?
Some things are hateful, but some things are also full of hope.
And these two things are often mutually reinforcing.
"Yes, yes, of course I think so, sir, you have given me great hope—that Ironia will certainly be in your favor with you, so loyal to your friends!" said Viscount Lanchelot.
"I understand your blessings. Ed smiled.
Viscount Lanchelot was in a short time immersed in the "joy of victory" - he could not wait to ask: "Sir, if I remember correctly......
"Yes, he invited me to help you, and I will help you—and that has been achieved, otherwise I would not have appeared before you so soon. Ed said slowly.
"That's wonderful!" said Viscount Lanchelot, his face flushed with excitement.
Ed looked at him, unhurriedly, pinching a yellowed leaf in the last place he saw.
It was a book of "The Word of God" - Ed occasionally read it, just like some people need to have some fun once in a while to relieve their depression.
The last sentence he saw was from "Song of Sorrow".
She stretched out her hand to grasp the light in front of her—but she had long been in the darkness and could no longer accept such a pure light, in which she screamed with joy, and she trembled with excitement—and at last, in the infinite light, accepted her cursed fate. ”
"Curses are born of the deplorable, but they will accept their fate with joy. ”
"Some say they're crazy - under the gaze of Elletia. ”
Ed recalled the words, and Viscount Lancalotte was still talking to himself, and he slowly put the book on the table, walked towards the Viscount, and spoke softly, saying something that only he could hear.
"They're not crazy - they just think they're winners, and from the beginning, they're stupid. ”
=======================================
In Aesop's Forest, this is a corner of terror.
Iveliu was a horror to Aesop's Forest, but the corrupted beech trees gained strange powers and became dangerous raiders, their roots emerging from the ground and intertwined into something like a work of art.
However, leave aside the corpses that hang on top.
Those were young adventurers, their eyes widening, and they still had the complex psychology of death, perhaps angry, annoyed, confused, regretful...... Many, many more, it's just that no one has expressed it all for them anymore.
Wow!
A hand suddenly reached out from the soft soil.
The palms, then the arms, the shoulders, and soon the man crawled out - he had avoided being devoured by preparing this defensive spell in advance.
Alva quickly crawled out, patting the dust off his body and checking what was left of him—he had always been praised for his prudence and ability, but who knew that it would be expressed in such a context—Alva turned his head and saw his dead companions.
In his eyes, the haze became heavier and heavier, but there was no repentance.
Walking slowly towards his companions, he searched for useful things from them one by one.
When he was about to finish all this, he was about to walk into the slightly lower terrain, when a tree root suddenly moved under his feet, he frowned, and without hesitation, he raised his dagger and cut off the tree root, but the downward slide was inevitable!
