Chapter Seventy-Eight: Transactions
"So you mean I'm going to put on a show for you?" The old man instantly understood what Linton meant, didn't he just ask his family to go to his nephew to "settle accounts".
"yes, you don't seem to be quite idle, why don't you do me a favor?" Linton said.
Shen TN was very idle, and the old man was a little speechless: "Why should I help you, you know that this matter is very troublesome, Your Majesty is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, you will soon figure out what is going on, I don't want to offend Your Majesty." ”
"Do you know the proverbs of our Merovues?" Linton said with a smile.
"Merlot's house? Well...... I don't know. The old man shook his head, after all, he was not a nobleman in the imperial capital, and it was estimated that he had never heard of the name Merlowe's family, let alone a proverb.
"The word should not be passed on lightly." Linton said, "My magic, you think you can learn it by giving me a suggestion?" This is not ordinary magic, but don't you think you should pay more for magic that subverts the entire existing magic system? ”
What the Tao is, the old man obviously didn't quite understand, but he still understood the general meaning, that is, there were not enough chips. Frowning, the old man asked, "Is your magic really the same as you say, can it subvert the existing magic system?" ”
"Bang", another Linton appeared directly next to Linton, yes, he used the simplest doppelganger technique, but it still made the old man next to him stunned directly.
"Have you ever seen magic like this?" Linton pointed to the clone next to him and said.
"I didn't ...... Haven't seen it. The old man was really shocked.
"What about this?" Linton directly used the spiral pill, and a strange ball in his hand was spinning, and it was obvious that the old man had never seen such magic.
"It's done." The old man clapped his hands directly and said. He hadn't seen any of the magic that Linton had performed, not to mention whether what Linton said about subverting the magic system was true, in short, he wanted to learn the magic he saw now. Of course, he also knew that this matter was still quite troublesome, but he really couldn't let go of these strange magic in front of him, anyway, it wasn't a betrayal of the country, it was just a matter of getting someone, even if His Majesty saw through it, it couldn't really kill him.
"Then hurry up and go back and prepare." The old man said.
"Wait, a few more people." Linton said, "Do you know where Duke Raidon's mansion is?" ”
"Marshal Raidon?" The old man was stunned, "You originally planned to find him?" Are you from the Raidon faction? ”
"I'm not, my family is." Linton said.
The old man had a distinctly headache, and Linton probably understood what he meant. Earlier he talked about the faction, and it is estimated that he is not from the Raidon faction, and it is possible that he is neutral. But no matter what, he helped the Linton family this time, doesn't he feel like he has to lean towards the Redden faction, otherwise why are you helping his faction? So now it's a matter of factions again.
"Do you have to go to Raidon now?" The old man asked.
"The people of my family should be on Duke Redden's side now, I'm going to go and say hello to them first." "After all, they don't know what we're planning yet." ”
"You're a real headache for me." The old man said, "Then you can just ask someone from the Raidon family to do this acting?" ”
"Then I'll also find someone from the Raidon family and ask him if he wants to learn new magic?" Linton said.
"Okay, I'll do it." The old man held his forehead, "Let's go." ”
Duke Redden's mansion was indeed not far away, and the two walked for a while before coming to the door. Standing outside the wall, you can feel the prosperity of the Raidon family, this mansion is too big compared to other mansions that are also nobles, and it is worthy of being an imperial duke and a marshal of the army to occupy such a large territory in this place where every inch of land is valuable.
To Linton's surprise, as soon as the two arrived at the door, they met someone from Merlowe's family. Yes, these people are standing in the doorway, and they are not even invited in? Seeing this situation, Linton probably guessed that this was a closed door.
"Linton?" Seeing Linton appear, several people who were waiting at the door also immediately surrounded him. The man at the head of them is named Pacari. Merlowe, who is Linton's cousin, is the eldest son of Linton's second uncle Lu Wen, and is 42 years old this year. And behind him was his son, the eldest grandson of Louwen, Bos. Merlowe, 22 years old, is Linton's cousin by seniority. These two people were members of the Merlowe family who followed Garseen to report to the imperial capital.
Linton and these two people are not very familiar with each other, and they have only said hello twice before, and he doesn't know what his relationship with the two of them was before his identity, but looking at the previous situation, these two people are not very good with him. In addition to them, there was Evan, and several guards, namely Radno.
"Linton, why did you come back, do you know that something happened?" As soon as they met, Bos, who was here, shouted at Linton anxiously. Obviously, he is also very anxious, and it is estimated that he has nowhere to vent his emotions, and this non-family waste does not know where to go, and now it has just appeared, and it has just become his target of venting.
"You know, I'm not here to deal with this." Linton said.
"Processing? Do you deal with it? What can you do? Bose said disdainfully.
"At least it's better than you guys who can't get in." Linton said unceremoniously.
"You!" Bose was just about to get angry, but his father Pakali next to him stopped him and said to Linton: "Duke Redden is not in the imperial capital, and now only the second son of the duke, Lord Kirskan, is in the imperial capital, but the guards said that he hasn't come back yet, let's go back first." But we have nowhere else to go, and the only person we can rely on in the imperial capital is Duke Raidon, so we can only wait here. ”
"Even if it's really not there, at least I should invite you to come in and wait." Linton said, "This situation is obviously preparing to give up on our family, and it would be humiliating to wait here." ”
To be honest, Pakari had already guessed the situation, but they had no other backers except for Duke Raidon, so they had no choice but to wait here to see if they could meet Kirskan and explain the situation to him back then. Hearing Linton say that they had brought humiliation upon themselves, Pacari was also a little angry and asked directly, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Let me ask first, you didn't say that this deer has something to do with us, did you?" Linton said.
"Of course, how can you admit it?" Bose next to him immediately said. Although they looked down on Linton, they were still very concerned about family matters. How can this admit that this demonic beast has something to do with them, everywhere they must say that they don't know what is going on with this demonic beast, otherwise the Merlowe family will be deprived of their title, will it do them any good?
Linton also put some snacks, at least these people still have this bit of brain, and they are not so stupid that they are hopeless: "Then shut up from now on, and look at these people by the way, I'll find a place to hide you first, and I'll solve this matter." ”
Of course, the people Linton said were referring to the few guards behind him, although they were also members of the Merlowe family, but after all, they were not family members, they were just subordinates, and there was no problem.
"You're going to settle this?" Pakari and Bosch were stunned, of course completely disbelieving it.
"This matter is quite big, Duke Raidon obviously doesn't want to care about it, we can only find someone else." Linton said.
"Who's that for? We don't know any other families in the imperial capital except for Duke Raidon, is it...... Her Royal Highness the Princess? Pakari asked.
"How is it possible, can I enter the palace to see the princess?" Linton said, "You're sending me in?" ”
"Then who are you talking about?" Boss asked.
"Look, didn't I find it?" Linton pointed to the old man behind him and said, "Just him." ”
The two looked at the old man behind them, they didn't pay attention to it because they were in a hurry, but now they looked, and the old man looked like he was indeed a nobleman.
"Come, I'll introduce you, this ...... Belch...... What's your name, old man? Linton was stunned, for he didn't seem to know the old man's name.
"I ......" the old man was angry for a while, he really obeyed this guy, "Old man Krause. Rash. Kotvico. ”
"Kotviko? The Kotviko family? Pacari shuddered.
"Father, this is ......" Bose next to him was obviously still young, and he hadn't heard of the Kotviko family, so he asked in a low voice.
"Yes...... Lord Marquis of Cotvico? Pakari hurriedly asked.
"I'm retired, and I've given my son the title." Krauser saw Pakali's reaction, touched his beard with some pride, and looked at Linton next to him by the way, probably meaning that Pakali's reaction was right.
"Please also Lord Kotviko must save our Merlowe." Pacari said quickly.
"Please help us, sir." Bose here also said.
Krauser didn't answer, and looked at Linton next to him, meaning shouldn't you beg me like they did?
"It's none of my business if they ask for them." "We're just in a transactional relationship. ”
"You're so angry, kid!" Krauser said.
"Speak well, you make people angry, okay?" Linton said.
"Huh?" Krauser looked confused, and Pacari and Bose next to him were also stunned, Linton actually dared to talk to Krause, this is the head of the Kotviko family, the former Marquis.
"You're still mad at me?" Krauser yelled.
"Then let me put it another way, if you ask me to learn something, that's my student. Isn't it right for you to do something for me, a teacher? And I want to thank you? Linton spread his hands and said, "Anyway, are you going to be my student now or do you just want to trade with me?" The choice is yours. But no matter which one you choose, I don't have to thank you, let alone beg you. ”
"Uh......" Krauser was silent for a moment, "You're great, I think so." ”
