Chapter 214. The true face of the rebel viscount
The exquisite silver knives and forks had been placed on the table, and the servants were also very respectful to offer all kinds of delicacies, but Levi looked at the still smiling Morton next to him, his brows slowly furrowed, and he asked softly: "I always feel that something seems wrong with you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Turning his head and glancing at Levi, old Morton also reached out and picked up a piece of roasted delicate lamb, chewed and swallowed it slightly, feeling the taste of the spices, and smiled casually: "What's wrong?" ”
"Really, I don't feel like you're in your normal life."
His brows furrowed slightly, Levi's eyes looked at old Morton's indifferent eating and drinking, and he also recalled in his mind that when he first met him, he was still drunk, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol, and he exhaled slightly, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, talk to me." ”
"Let's talk?" But old Morton smiled, looked down at the glass in his hand, the translucent crystal-like texture made him sigh, and said softly: "If I have the craft to make this, I will definitely make a fortune, and I guess even if I die, it is worth being happy." ”
"Don't change the subject, Moulton, I know something must have happened to you, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Stretching out his hand to push away the plate in front of old Moulton, Levi's eyes were also very keenly aware of the old man's amiss, from the beginning to the present, he could think about it carefully, and he could find that this old man who was once as cunning as a fox was talking to him as if he was explaining the aftermath.
Whether it is a detailed explanation or an understanding of life, the elder Morton is telling him along the way, as well as the admonition of life and the choice of the future path, which is more like an indoctrination.
Levi's head is not a fool, he can think of a lot, especially looking at Moulton's unnatural face, he also took a slight breath, slowly knocked on the table, and said softly: "At least I can help you, can't I?" ”
"Of course, you can help me."
Old Morton smiled and looked at this young man who looked very much like his son, and couldn't help but slowly close his eyes. After a long while, he opened it gently, with a little light in his eyes, and nodded lightly: "Levi, it is really a gift from God, let me meet you as if I met my son." ”
"Hey, old Morton, what the hell is going on?"
Levi looked at this old morton with a look of memory, his brows furrowed tightly, he reached over to hold the wrinkled old hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not the original small businessman now, do you have anything to help?" ”
Gently patted Levi's hand, but Morton broke free of his hand, with a smile on his face, and the tears in the corners of his eyes had disappeared, but he exhaled a long breath, looked at Levi and said softly: "You have now entered the eyes of those nobles, but in my opinion, you still lack a chance." ”
"What?"
Levi's expression was solemn, he looked at Morton in front of him, who was not abnormal at all, and slowly gritted his teeth, he still respected this old man who took great care of him, even if it was just his own son.
He firmly believes that people respect me, I respect people, and the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the help and support given to him by old Moulton, which also allowed Levi to gain a firm foothold in this unfamiliar world in just two years, and even gradually became a small merchant familiar with the market in Gray Mist City, becoming better and better.
Even if there is no system, Levi has gradually stepped into the right track, and he looked at Moulton's abnormal behavior, and he also made up his mind in his heart, slowly exhaled, and said categorically: "I want to repay your kindness." ”
"Kindness? No, no, no, there isn't much kindness, I'm just making up for it. ”
Old Morton smiled, looked at Levi's face that seemed to be intertwined with his memory, and nodded lightly, and said with a flat smile: "You will find out in a moment that this banquet is about to end, because the Captain Acheson's Governor's Guard will appear, and this is the main reason why the banquet is over." ”
Levi's expression was stunned, and he looked at the old Morton in front of him, but before he could ask anything, Morton smiled and continued to speak: "Then you will also find that it is our side that is surrounded by spears." After a pause, he also shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "To be precise, it is actually me who surrounds me." ”
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about? Old Moulton, are you old and confused? ”
Slowly swallowing and foaming, Levi looked at Morton a little stiffly, and subconsciously picked up the glass wine glass, but found that the wine in it had been drunk by himself, and his mouth was also very dry: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't worry, many people will be surprised when the time comes, even the captain of Acheson, and the young patriarch of the Senge family, Charles, will not think of it."
Morton's face still had a faint smile on his face, and he lowered his head to Levi's side and spoke softly, as if the two were talking about something, and his voice was only transmitted between the two of them: "Because this is an order from the Governor himself, the one who came to carry out this order is Clive, the former captain of the city defense, and now the treasurer of Cape Town." ”
Looking at the horror on Levi's face, Morton's fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if counting the time, and said softly: "And the place where you need help is here, just when they appeared and surrounded me." ”
"I understand, I'll help you escape, by all means."
Exhaling slowly, Levi's eyes were solemn, looking at the old man who had been greeting him all along, swept the gray hair, nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "I understand my duty, if this is the case, I am willing to do it." ”
He was already a dead man, and the identity of the traverser only allowed him to live another life, and when Levi looked at the appearance of this old man, he already had a feeling of generosity in his heart, he could die.
Old Morton saved him behind his back I don't know how many times, just offended the Rotten Algae Gang, if it weren't for this old man, Levi would have not known that after being attacked by someone, he would have been thrown into the stinky ditch to fend for himself, which Levi actually knew in his heart who he was relying on.
It's this old man, it's this old Moulton, it's this old man who treats him like a son, and if it's a relationship of exploitation, Levi doesn't care.
"No, not to protect me from leaving."
But old Morton shook his head, still with an indifferent smile on his face, rubbing his hand, he just nodded lightly and said: "You should identify me, saying that this guy is the rebel viscount, the cause of all this, collusion with the thieves of the Ketuv River, and the culprit of many nobles who want to rebel against the Governor." ”
His words seemed to shock Levi, and the corners of his mouth also brought a little proud smile, patted him on the shoulder, and also laughed softly: "How is it, scared?" He shook his head and smiled, "It's simple, and it's ridiculous, isn't it?" ”
"You've managed to scare me, old Moulton, you old joker."
Levi's face stiffened, looking at Moulton's smiling face, the corners of his mouth barely pulled up a smile, and he smiled dryly, but he couldn't laugh.
He looked at Morton in a daze, of course Levi knew that this guy was not joking at all, but now he wished that old Morton was really joking, because he couldn't have imagined that the rebellious viscount who had been rumored for so long had always been by his side, and he was still the person he respected the most.
"Viscount of Rebellion is just a title, why does it have to be a viscount?"
But Morton made a joke, laughed twice, pinched a piece of spiced roast lamb and put it in his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed his throat, shrugged his shoulders and said easily: "Just like the swamp baron, is he really the baron canonized by Grey Mist City?" ”
But before Levi could speak, a man wearing a black windbreaker appeared next to him, under his gray hair, a pair of eyes were extremely dazzling, and he looked at old Morton and smiled faintly: "How do you know that the swamp baron is not the swamp baron?" ”
"Clive?!" Levi's whole person was shocked instantly, he stood up with the glass in his hand, and glared at the gray-haired middle-aged man, because based on his perception, you didn't even find out how this man came over!
But old Morton reached out and grabbed Levi's hand that wanted to be violent, pinched his wrist vigorously, smiled faintly in his mouth, and said with emotion: "Well, Lord Governor's capital is really full, like canonizing a baron, it's so easy." ”
And just as he spoke, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the banquet hall, and before the noble gentlemen in the banquet could react, the thick two doors were kicked open in an instant.
"Bang."
The wooden door carved with the elaborate pattern slammed against the wall, and a group of armed governor's guards, armed with spears and thick chain mail, walked in quickly, almost premeditated, and came to this corner with their sharp spears, and enveloped Levi, Old Morton, and Clive.
"Look, it's the same as I said, isn't it?"
Bowing his head slightly, old Morton still sat in place, just let go of Levi's hand, gently put a piece of lamb meat in his mouth with a knife and fork, and said lightly like a real gentleman: "The time is just right." ”
