"Chelsea, put Elaine down too... Ahem. There was another coughing up of blood.

Lorain Hill slowly walked over from the side of the rock.

Angus was leaning against the stone wall, covered in blood, holding his daughter Elaine in his arms, but unfortunately this previously flamboyant girl had no heartbeat at the moment.

"Who!" Next to him, a maid in a black dress and white cedar looked nervously at Lorain Hill, holding a thin sword in her hand.

"Don't be nervous, I don't think this young lady is here to kill me." Angus looked up and saw that it was the girl he had met in the 'Blossoming Summer Leaves' before, so he was no longer nervous, but lowered his head again, looking at the daughter in his arms who had fallen into eternal sleep.

Elaine had dark red blood on her chest, apparently stabbed to death by a sword in the heart.

It seems that it is really a vendetta, Lorain Hill thought to himself, and then took out three [Blood Activating Elixirs] and threw them over.

"Drink this, it's good for the injury."

The butler and the head maid next to him were still a little puzzled, but Angus didn't shirk it, picked it up and poured it into his mouth.

After a while, his face became rosy again, and his coughing up blood was reduced a lot.

"Thank you." His voice was still a little hoarse.

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that I just saw the tragic situation on the road, so I came over to take a look at the situation." Lorain Hill looked at the father who had lost his daughter, a little sympathetic, but he didn't linger any longer, ready to turn and leave.

"Can you wait? This kind young lady. Angus coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"What's the matter?" The girl turned around a little confused.

"You're going to Verga, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do there?"

"Make some money."

"I want to do business with you."

"Huh!?"

Angus covered his mouth coughing up blood with a handkerchief, and his right hand trembled and took out a seal from his bosom.

"I'd like to ask you to do me a favor." He said it word by word.

Loren Hill looked at the bloodstained middle-aged man, his temples were a little gray, there were some calluses on his hands, and his dark blue eyes were staring at her, with unwillingness and remorse.

The girl was silent for a moment, then spoke, "What are you busy with?" ”

"The most sorry thing in my life is my wife, she died early, leaving only one daughter, but even this only daughter I didn't keep."

"I'm not a good husband, and when I'm out and about all these years, I got drunk and had a relationship with a woman who gave me a child, and I'm just over 10 years old now."

"I don't know if the enemy of their mother and son knows about it, but I can't take the risk. So I want you to take care of both of them. ”

"Why me, don't you still have loyal subordinates by your side?"

"Yes, I have no doubt about the loyalty of Seres and Chelsea, but there is no end to it. If I and my apparent only heir were to die, the Calites Chamber of Commerce would soon fall apart and be eaten by the others. ”

"Without the protection and power of the Chamber of Commerce, those opponents in the shadows will be even more unscrupulous, and at that time, a few loyal subordinates will not be able to resist."

"So you want to?"

"I want to ask you to pretend to be my daughter, and then I will transfer the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce to you completely. I beg you to protect my only child and his mother, so that they may live in peace. ”

The housekeeper and the head maid next to him looked at this sudden scene, a little surprised, but it was difficult to speak.

"But I'm not the same as your daughter, others won't believe it, and besides, I'm not familiar with Verga, so it's easy to show off."

Loren Hill carefully observed Angus's physical condition again, although the blood-invigorating potion temporarily replenished the blood and treated most of the wounds, but the lungs had ruptured, and there were already a lot of blood foam blockages in it, he couldn't survive tonight, even if Lorain Hill made a move. Angus himself is not a transcendent being, his physique is too poor, and some good healing spells and potions are difficult to take effect.

"I have always raised my daughter in the Kingdom of Zephyr, and no one in Vega has ever seen her, they have only heard me say verbally, as long as you take my handwritten and stamped suicide note and tokens, and add Chelsea and Seres to prove it for you, no one can question you."

'It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with Verga, Seres and Chelsea will tell you what's going on over there. Besides, my daughter doesn't know much about it, so it doesn't raise suspicion. ”

Lorain Hill was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

“..... It's a bit rude, but isn't that really suspicious? ”

The girl slowly took off her hood, and the three people opposite were briefly stunned. Silky silver hair slid out of the hat, white enamel skin, warm lips, slightly upturned nose, and thrilling red crystal eyes! This is a little more beautiful than the goddess depicted in those poems, and the pale silver hair and crimson eyes form a huge visual impact, so that the three of them can't help but secretly hold their breath, for fear of breaking this crystal-like dreamlike picture.

Looking at the shocked appearance of the three people opposite, the girl sighed slightly, and then put the hood back on, which made the three people on the opposite side ease down.

Since waking up from a deep sleep, her appearance has become more and more attractive, perhaps due to some change in temperament, or the addition of some talent, so that she herself is a little distressed. It's a good thing to be beautiful, but if you look too good, it will also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

In fact, Angus was still a little puzzled before, but now he is completely relieved, no wonder this girl wants to hide her appearance.

"I was presumptuous." Angus apologized for his faux pas.

"I will transfer all the shares of my chamber of commerce to you, and I only ask you to shelter the mother and son until the child starts a family."

"The Karitas Chamber of Commerce is also quite famous in Verga, I own 60% of its shares, and this remuneration will not disappoint you."

“... Well, I promise you. ”

If it weren't for the mission, Lorain Hill wouldn't want to wade into this troubled water, no need for extraordinary means, just make money as an ordinary person, although there is some trouble, but it is not an unsolvable problem for her. As long as you accumulate a start-up capital, it is really not difficult to reduce the dimension and hit the current primitive business environment with the marketing methods in your memory. But since someone gave a pillow to sleep, she didn't want to deliberately take shortcuts and not take detours.

Hearing the voice of the girl's promise, Angus finally relented, and then asked Seres to take out a piece of contract paper and start writing his suicide note.

Contract paper is a special paper with anti-counterfeiting effect, and after writing, the special spell will automatically condense when activated, and cannot be modified again.

After writing, Angus pressed his own handprint, his personal seal, and then dripped blood on it, and recited a short incantation, and finally the contract paper glowed faintly, and the blood stains dried and solidified, forming a pattern of lacquered night flowers.

"You take my butler and the chief maid back, and then take this suicide note, you can prove that you are my heir without any flaws, and thus obtain all my property."

Lorain Hill took the suicide note, then picked up the pen and prepared to sign his name.

"Do I sign in my real name, or in your daughter's name?"

"Fine, as long as you write it and make the contract react."

"Okay." Then the maiden wrote a name, neither Elaine nor Loren Hill. She didn't want to be someone else, but she didn't want to affect her life after this incident ended, so she wrote another hypothetical name, Lacey.
