Chapter 164: The Old Butler Returns

The early summer of the Cordillera is finally late, the spring cold is gradually expelled by the gradually warm summer breeze, the air is warm with a hint of comfort, and you will feel a burst of heat on the body wearing spring clothes.

Practice three nines in winter and three dogs in summer. Spia. Although Rodtrim looks like a cynical playboy on the surface, he is an extremely competitive man at heart, and although his mercenaries are very supportive of the leader, they have a little fear on their faces when they mention his training...... Spia. Rodtrim firmly believes that only a well-trained warrior can survive a life-or-death situation. Although the regular army had different training requirements for soldiers, he integrated quickly, so Hathaway gave him the training and made his mercenaries the backbone of the recruits, making his training more handy.

At first, when he saw Hathaway, he just thought that he was an ordinary gold owner, although magicians are rare, but for nobles or rich people, as long as they have a little talent, countless money can always be effective. As a veteran mercenary, he had seen too many looks. But after walking along the way, he saw Hathaway's strength and knew her identity, and he was also thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the mercenary group. So, when Hathaway extended an olive branch and said something he couldn't refuse, Spia . Rodtrim also felt that this was the best arrangement for the old brothers...... These people are used to fighting and killing all their lives. If they don't be mercenaries, what do they do when they go back?

Farmer? Traders?

Or as a bodyguard thug?

It seems that no matter what kind of profession they have, they can't feel a sense of belonging. Only the profession of a soldier is the most suitable for mercenaries. Maybe those disciplines and passwords will confuse them, but that's nothing, mercenaries are suitable for all kinds of living environments, which is the most beneficial choice for themselves and their families.

Moreover, he found himself more and more attracted to the young Earl, and not only because of her strength...... Spia. Rodtrim remembers a philosopher who once said that confident women are the most attractive. Her body is full of self-confidence, and her strength, identity. Forming a unique aura. All those who gather around her will be attracted to her and will be full of respect and trust in her. Spia. It was hard for Rodtrim to imagine that she was only sixteen years old, and at her age, most girls were probably studying in school. Or wander through the dates and dances under the moon before the flowers. And her every words and deeds will surprise people...... Or rather. It's a surprise.

Now, Spia. Rodtrim didn't need to think too much, he had to follow the plan made by Lord Earl. Train a strong army to protect the realm and the Earl...... This was the largest and longest-running mercenary mission he had ever undertaken.

The early morning feeling was good, and after the meditation, Hathaway practiced her martial arts skills and began to water the plants in the garden space...... It didn't need to be so troublesome, but she enjoyed it very much.

"Hathaway, what are you going to do with those spies?" The veteran suddenly appeared behind her and asked.

Spies are spies who are ordered to infiltrate recruits. After the Lord's Mansion expanded its convoys, the various forces that were planning to stuff people around Hathaway were overjoyed. However, none of them could have imagined that when the recruits signed up for the audition, the veterans of Hathaway used spiritual magic to dig out their details, and even had their autographed confessions...... Except for some of the necessary personnel who knew the list of these spies, even the people involved were unaware of it, and thought that they had been recruited into the guard with their excellent appearance.

"If they are disposed of, those forces will still try their best to send people, how can we have the time to screen them one by one? I can't learn that magic of yours. Moreover, the exposed spies are similar to a public carriage, anyone can sit on it, and if they can be used to pass information on us, everyone will have no worries, right? Murong Xian smiled slightly.

The veteran shuddered: too insidious!

He now has no doubt that Hathaway will be able to achieve victory, final victory.

"Someone is looking for you."

He was about to say something else when he sensed a knock on Hathaway's door.

Hathaway's brow furrowed slightly, and her mind moved slightly, and the man had left the fairy garden and returned to the study.

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, this rhythm was sent by Irona, and Hathaway said, "Come in, what's the matter?" ”

"My lord, someone is asking to see you." Ilona pushed the door open, her little face filled with excitement and joy.

"Didn't I tell you that you weren't seeing anyone this morning?" Hathaway frowned, she had a very important test to complete in the morning, and she had already told her in advance.

"You'd love to see this guy."

Ilona rarely did not admit her mistake, stood aside with a mysterious face, and shouted out, "Please come in." ”

A person entered in response, and Hathaway saw the person at a glance, with a look of surprise on her face: "Grandpa Will, where are you from?" ”

The person who came was none other than Bruno. Will, who hadn't seen him since Hathaway left Mimosa Manor, only that he seemed to be on his way to attend to some business, and although the two had made an appointment to meet in the future, they didn't say when or where they would meet...... Bruno. Will is the person who has been the kindest to Hathaway since she came to this world, and the person she is closest to besides Irona.

"Lord Earl, I have just come from the sea." Bruno. Will smiled and saluted.

Hathaway didn't care about his title, the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, she couldn't correct it at all, and sometimes the relationship between people did not depend on the position of the title.

"Please be seated, Grandpa Will, is there anything interesting at sea?" Hathaway, of course, did not believe that the old man would be bored on land and run away to be a sailor, so she sat down patiently and prepared to listen to the story.

Sure enough, after Ilona served a cup of tea, Bruno. Will put on a storytelling rhythm, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Twenty years ago, when my lord's mother first accepted the title of earl, she did not come to the Cordillera to take office, but invited Solo. Baron Bell and Demia. Madame Pierren helped take care of it. ”

"Madame Pierron?" Hathaway's eyes widened in confusion, it was the first time she had heard the name.

"She's your mother's best friend and your aunt, married to Milton. Baron Pierron, who later died in an accident from a horse, leaving Madame Pierren alone to raise her son. But at that time, His Excellency the Baron had just gone bankrupt and wanted to change his living environment, so the adult's mother made this decision. "Bruno. Will explained.

"This decision made her regret it very much, and she died depressed later, which is inevitably one of the reasons."

Bruno. Will sighed: "Baron Piellen is a very serious man, and his career is bankrupt, not because of his ability, but because of his luck. He worked very hard to make your mother's arrangement, but in the eyes of some people, it became a stumbling block. Shortly after your mother got married, Baron Pierren accidentally fell from her horse. ”

"At the time, your mother didn't know it was a human accident, but shortly after she became pregnant, by a very fortuitous time, she learned about Solo. Baron Bell's ambitions for the Cordillera Plateau...... To be precise, it is the ambition of the Bell family. There is ambition, and your mother is not against it, but what she can't stand is your father's betrayal of her. She thinks that the Bell family has betrayed not only her, but you as well, especially after knowing the truth about Baron Pierron's death, she begins to prepare. ”

"Madame Piellen...... I mean, my aunt, does she know the cause of her husband's death? Hathaway asked.

Gossip is in a woman's nature and she seems to be more interested in the subject, so Bruno. Will was also stunned for a moment before he reacted and continued: "I don't know if the Baroness knows, but there are no permanent secrets in the world. After the death of the man, Madame Pieron also lived in seclusion, raising her young son, and only showed up when your mother died. ”

"Because the Bell family had been in business in the Cordillera for many years at the time, and your mother was being watched, I had to rely on the old lady and me for help."

Bruno. Will's eyes suddenly became a little proud, "We have formed a force on the sea, which is the famous Pink Skull, in addition, we have also established a business name, with more than 20 shops, and the profit is very high, today I will return all of these to the adults!" ”

With that, he gently placed a black box on the table in front of Hathaway.

"What? Is the pink skull a legacy of my mother's strength? Hathaway asked, surprised.

In addition to the sea elves in the blue sea, which is listed as a forbidden area, there are also those areas where pirates are rampant. Among the many pirate gangs, the Tricolor Skeleton is undoubtedly the best among them...... Black Skeletons, Grey Skeletons, and Pink Skeletons. Although the pink skeleton was at the bottom of the seat, no one dared to underestimate this pirate force, and it is said that many forces wanted to recruit them, but their leaders refused without hesitation.

"Yes, sir. They are on the blue sea, waiting for your call at any time. "Bruno. Will replied respectfully.

Hathaway nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "Grandpa Will, what role did my father play in the death of my mother?" ”

"This ......"

Bruno. Will was a little caught off guard, the question was too jumpy, he pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Your mother's death is not directly related to Lord Viscount, at best...... Inaction. (To be continued......)
