Chapter 6: Undercurrents
In Toulouse, Richard Haman, the patriarch of the House of Haman, is enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea.
As the lord of Toulouse, the purpose of the council to send him to Toulouse is to balance the Audney family, but as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the snake, the Audney family has been operating in Toulouse City for hundreds of years, and it is very difficult to leverage its interests, so under the premise that the Audney family does not make any big moths, Richard willingly enjoys his own leisurely life in front of his puppet city lord.
Richard put down the cup in his hand, looked at the information submitted by his subordinates casually, shook the information sheet in his hand and sneered: "The deaths of several maids and guards are reported, is it possible that the intelligence officers I spent a lot of money to train are reporting such trivial things to me?" ”
The intelligence officer leaned down, whispered in Richard's ear, and after saying everything, stepped aside and waited for Richard's orders.
"Are you saying that in addition to this incident recently, the others have not been able to listen to it at all, but have lost a lot of good hands?"
"Yes, in the past two days, most of the shadows arranged in the Audney family have been removed, and a large number of members of the Audney family who have been bribed by the family have had accidents, and the rest are all tight-lipped like bottles, villains dare not make claims, please make it clear."
"Interesting, Xavier is the lord who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and he can mobilize the family power so much, it must be something big happening in the Oldney family." Gently stirring the silver spoon, Richard squinted and thought for a while, and the black tea in the cup was stirred by him and rippled.
After stirring for a while, Richard seemed to think of something, supported his head with his right hand, tapped his temple lightly with his middle finger, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious as time went by, and finally laughed wildly: "Hahaha, interesting, really interesting, Xavier, what are you hiding, I'm really curious, I hope your hidden secret will let me find out and don't let me break your entire family down, you, who have been an opponent for 20 years, this time it can be regarded as letting me win first, hum hahahaha, number zero!" ”
"The subordinates are here."
"Give me a strict investigation of all the imps involved in the Oldney family's potential test, find out the one who has made the least number of public appearances for me, and give me all the shadows in the Oldney family to inquire about everything that happened to the Oldney family in the testing ground that day, even if you use all means, give me the most detailed information, and I will give you the greatest authority on the official side, okay, go ahead."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
At the same time, in a gloomy room in the Oldney family, the Great Elder carefully stroked the jars and jars on the shelves, which were soaked in the corpses and organs of various creatures, but what seemed disgusting to outsiders was like a treasure in the eyes of the Great Elder.
"In other words, the deaths of some clansmen in the past two days, do you guess Xavier did it?" A tug-of-war sound sounded, and the young man kneeling in front of him got goosebumps.
Hearing the Great Elder's question, the young man trembled with fear in his heart, "Yes...... Yes, Grand Elder, we doubt ...... The accidental death of the people who suspect your supporters are all old ...... All of them were Xavier's doing. ”
"There is no doubt about it, it was Xavier's old fox who did it, those little guys have been too active lately, which has aroused his dissatisfaction" After speaking, he turned around, and his skeleton-like face frightened the young man who was originally kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but take a step back.
With a skeletal face and eyes protruding forward, he looked coldly at the young man kneeling on the ground, and asked calmly, "Am I scary?" ”
was frightened by the Great Elder, and the young man was not trembling, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The Great Elder looks amiable, and the villain is like a spring breeze when he sees it, so he is not scary!" ”
"Then why are you so far away from me?"
When the young man heard this, he hurriedly climbed over, kowtowed a few times and said, "The villain should die, the little one doesn't dare to offend the majesty of the Great Elder, look at the Great Elder Haihan, look at the Great Elder Haihan." ”
"Alright, get up." As he spoke, the Great Elder walked to a chair and sat down, and asked in a voice that he thought was kind and the others listened to the seepage, "Young man, tell me your name." ”
"Thank you, Great Elder, the villain's name is Wanda, and he doesn't have a surname."
Surnames were only possessed by nobles on the continent of Nanya, ordinary commoners had only one name, and the lowest slaves could only be replaced by numbers imprinted on their backs.
"Very good, Wanda, you are very smart and know how to advance and retreat, I like this kind of person very much, otherwise you wouldn't be talking to me like this now." The Great Elder nodded at Wanda with satisfaction and then said, "I have a relatively easy task here, as long as you complete it well, I will not only give you a large fortune, but also let your descendants live in the world under the surname of Oldney." ”
Hearing the Great Elder's promise, Wanda's head froze for a moment, and then he kowtowed happily: "Thank you Great Elder for looking up to the villain, the villain is willing to go to the soup for the Great Elder, and the Great Elder will be the villain's reborn parents in the future." ”
"It's not a difficult task, you just need to deliver this letter to the owner of a bar called Pink Night Charm in the capital of the Valeren Empire." As he spoke, the Great Elder shot the letter in his hand towards Wanda, and the soft paper was firmly nailed to the stone slab in front of Wanda like a piece of steel in the Great Elder's hand.
"Yes, the little ones will do it." After speaking, Wanda kowtowed to the Great Elder, bowed and walked out the door.
"Remember, even if you die, you can't put the letter in the hands of anyone else, or your family will ......" Wanda was about to breathe a sigh of relief as she closed the door when the Great Elder's threatening voice rang in her ears.
"Yes, villain remember" said and bowed to the house, and escaped from the place of right and wrong as fast as he could.
"Xavier, you forced me to do this." Saying that, the Great Elder reached out and took a jar on the shelf, kept stroking it, and sneered: "What I can't get, you don't want to get it, I want to see if you, a cunning fox, can protect your talented granddaughter under the siege of many strong people." ”
Speaking of excitement, the Great Elder couldn't control his emotions, and smashed the jar in his hand, and the humanoid embryo in the jar fell into the hand of the Great Elder, and the Great Elder took the embryo in front of his eyes and carefully enjoyed it, and then opened his arms and laughed wildly: "Xavier, this time I will defeat you, so that you will never turn over." Quack quack! ”
When the undercurrent of the Quartet has begun to slow down, our heroine Firena is living an unusually comfortable life, for more than a month after the test, she has lived a leisurely life of eating, sleeping, and occasionally being taught some simple magical knowledge by her mother, and after her mother Siris left home and went to the Sage's Tower to seek a way to break through to the stars, although Sirris, who was a mother before leaving, left Firena a bunch of magic books, and said that she would let herself understand the true meaning of magic, but Firena's life was even more depraved, living like a pig.
Firena's magical attributes are light and soul, and in consideration of her own situation, Firena decided that the light system only learns healing and gives up the Holy Judgment, and as for other spells common to the light system, she only learns the Holy Shield and the Holy Light Technique. The former is the hardest turtle shell except for the soil system, which is very good for Firena, who takes life preservation as the first element, while the latter is completely Firena's interest, after all, if you don't learn a holy light, what is the difference between it and salted fish.
As for the soul system, Firena has no clue, after all, the soul system is called the crown jewel by human magicians along with time and space, and the soul system is more to be explored than some necromancers or lichs who will use some superficial fur spells, so even if Firena wants to learn, she can't learn it.
What excites Firena even more is that her 6th birthday is approaching, in other words, Firena has another chance to determine her pedigree.
While Firena couldn't sleep happily, the two of them were equally excited, the difference was that they had laid a net for Firena, waiting for Firena's arrival.
"Human beings are not created equal, everyone is different, ah, what a twisted cause and effect, what a pathetic and admirable clown" Standing on the roof, Shakespeare, who did not appear, looked at Firena and said happily: "Master, the supporting role on the stage is in place, it depends on how you play the leading role, I hope you can bring me a perfect script." ”
