Chapter 837: Goodbye Burren
Lin An didn't know what Dahn was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and after listening to Dahn reveal the Yan zhòng epidemic on the East Coast, he fell into deep thought.
Although she didn't let out the coercion, the rest of the room was still suppressed by the silence.
It wasn't until the private soldier captain who fainted by the door suddenly twitched his feet, and the steel boots made a grinding sound on the floor, which frightened Xiao Lisa into a low exclamation, that Lin An came back to his senses and said to Dahn:
"I want to see your father."
……
Rob City, the city lord's mansion.
"Sir, Ham in the kitchen says that there are some sturgeon roe mashed potatoes and frozen pears left in the ice cellar, do you have the appetite for a late-night snack?"
At this time, dinner time had been missed, but Viscount Fendi did not eat, and only ate a few bites of salt-and-pepper lamb ribs at noon, and the dutiful butler had to risk being scolded, knocked on the copper-clad wooden door of the study three times, and asked his master at the next door.
"Get out! …… Wait, bring this morning's lamb ribs, throw out the sturgeon roe, and no seafood from the East Coast will be allowed in the future! ”
You said this half a month ago, and the sturgeon roe came from a nearby salt lake......
But the housekeeper understood the master's feelings of not wanting the master, and silently crossed out all kinds of aquatic products from the master's recipe and retreated from his life.
Not long after the salt-and-pepper lamb ribs were served, the next person came to report back, and Young Master Daen returned to the mansion.
With a clang, Viscount Fendi rose from his chair and slid down his lap with a crisp white napkin.
Viscount Fendi wiped his mouth hastily, ignoring the oil stars and salt and pepper particles on the corners of his mouth, and hurried to the end of the corridor where the study was located with the butler, and saw his proud son coming back alone, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Two quarters of an hour later, the city gate was wide open, a group of elite cavalry galloped out of the city gate, and the sleigh carriage of the city lord's mansion was escorted in the middle, along the official road, towards the black gold town in the east of the city.
……
The crucible containing the pale yellow liquid swirled seven or eight white foam swirls, like a pot of creamy soup about to boil, Lin An stopped stirring, put the slender white crystal stirring rod next to the crucible, stopped inputting magic power, let the magic flame of the alchemy table extinguish, and looked at the city lord father and son who were waiting on the side.
"To dispel this epidemic, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, its biggest nemesis is the potion or spell full of positive energy, the attributes required by this positive energy are more extreme, most of the light mages who meet the requirements are in Gaunt City, and there is no such large storage of medicinal materials, which may be the main factor that the elders of the mage tower are helpless against the epidemic."
Lin An's attainments in pharmacy are not stronger than those archmages who have accumulated for years, and she has a solution to the plague, but it is just because the natural magic can meet this condition.
"But you alone, let alone Rob City, you can save this town, ......" Viscount Fendi wiped his sweat with a silk handkerchief, still doubting the young female mage's abilities.
Dahn had a deep psychological shadow on Lin An, and interrupted his father's words: "So, if you invite the clergy of the Holy See to come, it can play a big role in this plague?" Could this be a conspiracy of the Holy See? ”
"Conspiracy or something, it's not something we need to think about now," Lin An directly ignored Viscount Fendi, "What we need to do now is first to find the source of the epidemic, which I believe the Excellencies of the Mage Tower are already working on, and secondly, to treat the epidemic and prevent it from continuing to spread - there is nothing wrong with the City Lord's Mansion blocking the news of the epidemic to civilians and blocking the passage of trade routes, but these alone cannot solve the plague that has spread inside and outside Luobu City." ”
"So, what do you want us to do?"
From beginning to end, Viscount Fendi never thought that this young female mage would be able to solve this plague.
She may indeed have a recipe to cure the epidemic, but sometimes, it is not enough to have a formula, this plague is no longer a matter of one city and one county, even if this female mage can save Rob City, but she can't save Lyme County, let alone Atlanta.
Even if the people of Rob City could survive the plague, would they be able to survive the lack of food and food?
If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about what this female mage would do to her son, and because he thought that the recipe and spell that Lin An held could protect his family, Viscount Fendi would not have gone out of the city to see her in person at all, and discussing with Lin An so equally at this time was just for the sake of what she was holding in her hand - he occasionally swept his eyes into the crucible, eager to snatch the crucible from Lin An's side!
Lin An smiled, not caring about the disdain hidden in Viscount Fendi's eyes. Judging people by their appearance is a deep-rooted vice of people, not to mention that she really can't take the advantage of convincing people in terms of appearance or gender.
She said lightly: "My request is very simple, block the official road to the border, whether or not the Mage Tower gave you any orders, I don't want to see the outcasts enter Perre's territory." ”
Viscount Fendi had already stood up from his position abruptly when Lin An was in the first half of the sentence, staring at Lin An deadly, his face trembling and spasmodic for a while:
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
He didn't even need an honorific title, he dropped his words and turned around and left.
However, when he turned his head, he found that the door of the room was long gone, and the place where the door frame had been was now a flat wall.
The door to the room they entered, as if out of thin air, had disappeared.
Athena's giggling laughter came from Lin An's spirit, and Lin An's spirit was unheard, so he stood in place for a long time, looked at Master Dahn and was stunned for a moment, before he came back to his senses and asked Viscount Fendi eagerly:
"Father, is what Gen-la said true? Do you know what you are doing, if the news spreads and the people know that we intend to put the outcasts into Perre's territory, our family's century-old reputation will be ruined! ”
"What do you know!"
Viscount Fendi glared at his son coldly, of course he knew better than his own son that things were strict, and if this matter was only to ruin the family's reputation, then thank God.
In fact, he knows very well that Merlin has declared war on the Holy Empire, and at this time he and Perret are in the honeymoon period of allies, if the matter is not secret, then the Merlin royal family will never admit it, and the mage tower who rules Atlanta will not bear this charge, and it must be them who are thrown out of the black cauldron!
In other words, it was the end of the annihilation of the clan at every turn, and the royal family, in order to appease its allies and appease the anger of the people, would not mind pushing one or two nobles to the guillotine.
Therefore, when he turned around and left, he had already given birth to a murderous intention in his heart, and as soon as he left this room, he immediately controlled this town, even if he killed all the living people in this town, he would never allow this female mage to leave alive!
However, this seemingly young female mage was more than she imagined, and thinking of her son's description of her, Viscount Fendi realized that the other party had taken advantage of the usual image of a female mage in people's minds, and he entered the urn lightly.
Viscount Fendi could only hold back the murderous intent surging in his heart, turned his head, and stared at Lin An coldly, like a lone wolf staring at his prey:
"It doesn't matter how you know, but if you're smart enough, you know when to keep your mouth shut!"
Lin An calmly looked at the anger that Viscount Fendi had endured.
There were very few real brains among the nobles, and this viscount was much more sophisticated than his immature son, although he still could not restrain his instinctive greed for profit, otherwise the beginning of their meeting would have been much better than the status quo.
Lin An actually didn't want to always coerce people to do things, she always thought that it was more efficient to be willing, but the facts that had been speculated so far really did not allow her to slowly raise and arrange, and the severity of the spread of the epidemic greatly surprised her and disrupted her original plan.
"If you're awake enough, know that it's you who needs to calm down right now."
In a simple sentence, Viscount Fendi immediately sat down, took a deep breath, and with the hand behind his back, he quietly crushed a rune stone that slipped out of the cuff, and a sapphire flashed at the cuff.
“…… Well, what is your purpose? ”
"I just want more people to live," seeing the other party's small actions that he thought were secret, without organization, Lin An said lightly, "Conspiracy and strife cannot stop the spread of the plague, even if Pere and the civilians of the Holy Empire also die in the thousands, Merlin will not be saved by the plague - maybe the civilians are just a string of numbers in your eyes, but it does not mean that they should be sacrificed without distinction." ”
"When there is no other way out, you can only choose to maximize benefits while sacrificing."
Viscount Fendi said coldly, a cold glance that stopped Master Dahn's words, and the latter had to keep his mouth shut and not get into the tension of the conversation.
Viscount Fendi's coldness was beyond Lin An's expectations, "So, between your life and that of Master Dahn, and agreeing to my request, your choice?" ”
Viscount Fendi didn't hesitate, his voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth, "Of course, it's the former. ”
"Very good, although you are not the one who can really call the shots, presumably your table fell into the ears of the person you contacted with the rune stone, which should be enough to explain," Lin An evoked a shallow smile, but the content of his words made Viscount Fendi frightened, "Then can you show up, the unknown Excellency behind the city lord?" ”
"Huh—" A low laugh came from the cuff of a sapphire that Viscount Fendi had hidden in the cuff.
Viscount Fendi didn't understand how Lin An would know at all, and confessed in shock, "No! My lord, I didn't betray you......"
"Okay, Fendi, it's impossible for you to hide your little actions from the Lord in front of you, from the very beginning, you have mistaken the object of your real attention-the famous Purple Rose Lady, you are not the object of your deception!"
The elegant and low male voice like a cello spoke eloquently, calmly and briskly greeting Lin An, "Long time no see, Lin!" I didn't expect to meet you here, my dear friend! ”
"I didn't expect it to be you, Chamberlain." Lin An's face was truly surprised.
"If the beautiful lady can forgive me for being uninvited, maybe we should catch up with the old days?"
"Welcome." Lin An replied.
