Chapter 31: Mourning and Changing (2-in-1)
Natsuki was guided into the inner room by Catern, and Wood didn't wait where he was, but found something to eat on the tables around him, after all, he hadn't eaten in nearly an afternoon.
But while eating, Wood was also quietly observing the members of the Midro family around him.
"Do you need water?"
A sweet voice came from behind Wood, and when he turned his head, he saw a young girl dressed in black standing behind him, and in her hand was a tray with some juice and water of various colors.
"Thank you."
Wood picked up a glass of water and thanked him.
The girl smiled slightly, put the tray on the table on the side, and asked with a smile: "Judging by your young age, you were adopted by the border uncle since you were a child?" ”
Wood looked up at the girl carefully, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, dispelling the image of her 'maid' in his heart.
The girl was not very old, she should have looked about the same age as Caiyue, and she was dressed in a plain black dress, which made her look as inconspicuous as the maids walking around her, which was why Wood had just mistaken her for a maid.
Out of the corner of Wood's eye, he glanced at the table where the young men had gathered, and sure enough, as he expected, several of the young men at the table looked at this side with mocking eyes, but the target of this gaze was not himself, but the girl in front of him.
It's as if ...... These young masters of the Midro family felt that this girl was very ashamed.
"Huh?"
Wood was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand a little helplessly, his already immature face showed a touch of youthful youthfulness, but there was a trace of pride in his eyes: "No, I have been selected a lot before I successfully entered the work under Lord Rozval!" ”
"Ah, you're really good, little brother."
The girl looked amazed, then reached out and rubbed Wood's head, and winked at Wood: "Sister, I've heard of it, that border man has an extremely strange personality, and it must be difficult to work under him, right?" ”
Wood smiled smugly, and then took a step away from the girl's hand by taking the water.
It's been a long time since I've encountered this feeling.
If Wood and Caiyue are reversed, Caiyue will probably think that this is a very gentle and attentive big sister; But for Wood, who has been dealing with this kind of person for a long time, the other party's performance is still relatively immature.
But at this age alone, it's still pretty good.
first take a glass of water as an opportunity, and then look for topics that the two can talk about together, and take the opportunity to get closer to the relationship between the two, if there are no accidents...... After a small talk, they will pretend to be unintentionally trying to extract information about themselves, or give themselves some misleading hints.
After all, for a businessman, no matter what the value of the other party is, he must squeeze out the last drop of value, which is the iron rule of the businessman.
From this point of view, the little girl in front of her is barely a businessman.
It's a pity......
In front of the old fritters, they are still a little immature.
However, it is still commendable to subconsciously change oneself with different people in contact.
"It's okay."
Wood smiled slightly: "Although Lord Rozval's personality is a little strange compared to normal people, as long as you get along for a long time, you will find that Lord Rozval is unexpectedly easy to get along with." ”
"So, little brother, have you been with Master Border for a long time? Then you must know Frandelica, who has been working at the Border Boss for nearly a decade before coming to work for our Midro family. ”
"Of course."
The corners of Wood's eyes moved slightly, but he replied slowly: "It's just not very familiar." ”
"Well, it's no wonder."
The girl nodded knowingly, and there was a hint of memory in her eyes: "Frankerica is really a great big sister, and we all feel sorry for us when I resigned from my position for personal reasons a few months ago." When she was there, she used to talk to me about the two twin sisters named Ram and Rem, who I thought would be the ones who came this time. ”
"Lord Ram and Lord Rem have always been in charge of taking care of Lord Rozval, and this kind of thing is basically done by me and Lord Pleiades, who have been walking around for a long time."
Walking around?
A flash of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction of the inner room.
Is it blowing big?
Wood didn't know what the girl was thinking, but he could guess a rough idea from her movements.
"Isn't that hard?"
The girl returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and looked at Wood with some pity: "It must be very hard to move around at such a young age, right, and I heard that Lord Border is now supporting one of the five heirs chosen by the king, and his work must be very busy now, and the successor of the head of the family will not let him care at all, right?" ”
The first half of the girl's speech was normal, but the second half of the conversation obviously became a little nervous.
Is this the goal?
A hint of surprise flashed in Wood's eyes, but he didn't expect that in addition to the four middle-aged people, there was actually a person here who was worried about the position of the head of the family.
This ugly drama of fighting for family inheritance......
It's still so much fun.
But......
Wood frowned slightly, did Rozval care about the successor of the head of the family...... What?
I had ignored this before, and the four middle-aged people were obviously not worried about this, in other words...... What does it mean that they have a certain degree of confidence in becoming the head of their family and are not afraid to go against Rozval's intentions?
"Tut-tut......"
"What's wrong?"
The girl was slightly stunned, and said with some doubts.
"Nothing."
Wood shook his head, and the corners of his mouth gradually outlined a trace of arc: "Who is the head of the divided family, Lord Rozval will not care at all, even if a pig becomes the head of the family, as long as he has the ability to control the family, then it is no problem at all." ”
"Ah~~ So... Ah......h
A flash of annoyance flashed on the girl's face, and then a smile that looked like crying and laughed more: "I still have some things, I have to leave first, I am very happy to chat with you, I hope I will have the opportunity to chat together in the future." ”
Looking at the back of the girl turning away, the smile on Wood's face gradually lacked virtue: "Don't you believe me?" ”
"Huh?" The girl was stunned.
"Even if you're taking the opportunity to talk to Caiyue, it's the same."
Wood glanced in the direction of the inner room, "I don't think you have any chance of winning, but if you become the head of the Midro family, I will find it more interesting." But don't worry, although this will surprise Rozval, he will not interfere, but will be more recognizant of your ability. ”
The girl's pupils immediately shrank, and Wood, who looked at him who seemed to be smiling, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"You ......"
"Hey, Pei Lisa, what are you doing here?"
At that moment, a voice came from behind Wood, and he turned his head to see a middle-aged man with a flippant and spiritless smile on his face walking towards him.
Seeing this middle-aged man, the girl...... Pei Lisha's brows furrowed slightly, and then a look of cowardice appeared on her pretty face, and she first lowered her head and called respectfully: "Uncle Weihai." Then he looked at Wood and whispered, "I see that this little gentleman is a little thirsty, so I brought him some drinks." ”
The person who came was none other than the fourth son of the Midro family, Weihairo Midro.
He squinted at Pei Lisha, and his eyes clearly revealed a sense of contempt: "It's really a shame to talk so happily with the servant's entourage, usually I don't care what you do, but don't run out and be embarrassed at this time." ”
Pei Lisha's eyes were red, and her head lowered a little: "I'm sorry, Uncle Weihai." ”
"What is there to be wronged about, your father died early, how normal it is for me, who is an uncle, to discipline you on your behalf." Wei Hailuo snorted coldly.
"Discipline?"
A mocking voice came, and Wood looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see the third son of the Mirod family, Pat Mirod, walking towards here, with that indifferent look on his face: "I don't think you are qualified to discipline Pei Lisa on your behalf." ”
Wei Hailuo's eyes immediately hung into a triangle: "If you say so, aren't you the same." ”
"I don't deny that." Pat still had that indifferent expression, as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm in Wei Hailuo's words.
Wood quietly took a few steps back, his eyes looking at Pelissa.
I saw this woman, when she looked at the two uncles in front of her, a crazy killing intent flashed in her eyes, but she hid it in a blink of an eye.
"Oh? Don't you deny it? ”
Wei Hailuo's tone became sharp, and he said loudly: "You said that you are not qualified to discipline Pei Lisha, do you think you are as lowly as you are, or do you ...... Because of guilt? ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Pat said in a cold tone.
"Don't understand? You really don't understand, do you? Do you need me to remind you, how did Pei Lisa's father die? ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became a little silent, and everyone looked in this direction.
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"You're not going to say anything else, are you?" Wei Hailuo had some scruples about the eyes around him, and sneered: "Or don't you want to talk about Pei Lisha's father?" ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
Pat still had the same cold appearance, giving people a feeling of ease, but the contempt in his eyes when he looked at Wei Hailuo became more and more intense.
A look of annoyance appeared on Wei Hailuo's face, and he realized that this bastard was just looking at himself as a fool, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Enough trouble?"
I don't know when, the second son of the Mirod family, Bernard Millod, appeared next to Wood, frowned at the two arguing in the field, and then smiled at Wood: "I'm really sorry to let you see the joke, everyone's nerves can't help but be a little nervous at this time." ”
Wood smiled slightly: "Where, I think it's funny." ”
"Really?"
Bernard smiled elegantly and looked at Pat and Wei Hailuo: "It seems that the two of you really put on a good show, which makes this little brother feel very interesting." ”
This smile without the slightest malice made both Pat and Wei Hailuo's eyes faintly annoyed, but then a trace of contempt flashed in their eyes.
"Hmph, you just struggle hard, anyway, the next head of the family will have no one else but me." Wei Hailuo snorted coldly.
Pat, on the other hand, used his characteristic cold smile to give Wei Hailuo a wordless mockery.
Bernard smiled indifferently, turned his head to look at Wood and said, "Haha, little brother......"
The voice grew quieter, and the space around them gradually distorted.
Seeing this, Wood was stunned for a moment, then understood, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
"Hey~~~"
The next second.
The world was plunged into darkness, and I don't know how much time had passed.
"Two guests, in front of you is the Midro family."
With the voice of the dragon car driver, the silent sense of silence completely dissipated, and when I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the familiar dragon car interior and ...... Natsuki's frightened and confused face.
Under dusk.
The dragon cart walked slowly down the street, and at the end of the street, the Middlero family mansion could be faintly seen.
Inside the dragon car, however, there was incomparable silence, and there was no sound except for the rapid breathing of Cai Yue.
"I'm dead."
After half a ring, Caiyue Pleiades was the first to break the silence.
"yes, I know." Wood nodded.
“……”
The corners of Caiyue's mouth twitched slightly: "Hey! What's your reaction, please give me some normal reaction, I'm dead! Even if it's pretended, please comfort me!! ”
"I don't really know what a dead person would have reacted to sitting in front of me, but ......"
The corners of Wood's mouth moved slightly, and then he reached out and patted Caiyue's shoulder: "Let's mourn and change, I wish you six pure roots." ”
“……”
Festival your sister's mourning! Six of your sister's roots!
Natsuki rolled his eyes, but by talking to Wood, the desperate fear in his heart gradually dissipated, and he looked at his surroundings with a wry smile on his face: "Is the archive point actually here?" ”
"Let's talk about this later, tell me how you died?"
"There's poison in the water...... Uh, no, old man Cartern drinks poison too...... It's not right, it's supposed to be poisonous in the food. The corners of Caiyue's mouth twitched slightly: "Anyway...... Before I closed my eyes, the old man was dead. ”
"Well, the possibility of poisoning the food is relatively small, it should be poisoned in the wall of the cup."
Wood touched his chin: "It's a bit unexpected to kill you, but it's getting more and more interesting." ”
"Huh?"
Caiyue's face darkened: "Funny fart, this is a crime, Chiguoguo's murder!" ”
"It's time for you to be mature, too."
Wood glanced at Caiyue and said coldly: "If you don't want to be embarrassed like a lost dog in the future, integrate into this world as soon as possible, and change your cocoon mentality; The world is not as rosy as you think...... In other words, you have this ability, in this world, there is no one you can trust except Emilia. ”
Caiyue was silent for a moment when she heard this, and after half a sound, she gritted her teeth slightly: "What is the power in my body?" ”
"Mentally ready?"
Cai Yue did not speak, but nodded.
"Not now, I have something to explain to you, if you don't want to continue to die, just keep in mind what I said next."

Ahem, it's really a bit stuck, and the foreshadowing in front has to think of a lot of things, huh...... In the next three days, I'll make up for it separately for three shifts a day......
