Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Marka? Dupsie served the Count of Amfros for nearly thirty years, but he was not taken seriously by the Earl's Prince due to his talent. After all, as the earl of the entire Hansting who attaches the most importance to gold coins, the importance that Count Amfros attaches to his subordinates is directly proportional to their financial ability.
The most important of all the Earls' Court was of course the Earl's Governor, for whom he took care of the wealth equivalent to ten of the towns of Berkna, and only in cash. Of course, there are housekeepers who are valued, and there are housekeepers who are not valued, although they are also called butlers, but Marca? There's just too much water in the title of Dupsey's butler. Although he is the steward of the caravan, in fact, his right is only to escort the caravan, and he does not have the opportunity to escort such an escort a few times a year.
Of course, the escort opportunity of such a large caravan like this time is a rare turn in several years, and most of the time Marka? Dupsey was in charge of a manor belonging to the Earl of Amfros. Although he had more opportunities to appear in front of the Count than the others, he only reported twice a month at most.
Can we say Marka? Dupsy is almost a minor character in the Count Amfros's mansion, and may not even be a third-level butler. But in front of Su Xinghe and them, this old man showed his strong talent for scolding and his ability to fake the tiger. Even if he was thrown into the dungeon, he didn't stop his mouth for a moment, and kept cursing and throwing him into the dungeon, Su Xinghe repeatedly shouted that Su Xinghe would regret the words. For Markla, he felt his majesty being flouted. It's true that he is a small person, a small character, but when he bears the insignia of Count Amfros, that is, the prince, even a legendary powerhouse has to give him three points of face.
But now he was thrown into a dark underground prison, treated like a criminal. This is definitely a shame that has never been felt for a little person like Marka, who sometimes has very strong and even a little distorted self-esteem in some places. In reality, why the psychology of those ancient eunuchs was distorted, in addition to the physical disability, the most important thing is that their hearts are very different. The power of eunuchs comes from the emperor, and when they are trusted by the emperor, they are also the time when their rights increase greatly, whether it is Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty or Gao Lishi of the Tang Dynasty or the great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty who have left a lot of ink in history, their rights originally came from the emperor.
When they are valued by the emperor, it is also when their power grows by leaps and bounds, and when they become famous, it is often the time when they are most valued by the emperor and have the greatest power. At a time when they were not valued by the emperor. Who knows which corner they're in the middle of nowhere. Of course, Markla was not a eunuch, but his situation was actually no different from that of a eunuch. Before he appeared in front of Chen Kai and them, who knew what this old man was, if it weren't for the prince behind him, it was estimated that they wouldn't even bother to know what his name was Chen Kai. Because when this old man appeared in front of Chen Kai and them for the first time, he basically didn't leave a good impression on them, especially Su Wan and the girls.
It is important to know that the equipment of female players in the game is often better than that of male players, and there are even some clothing ceremonial equipment that is specially used as dresses. Su Wan wears this kind of armor most of the time, while He Liwen and the others are more casual, but they still wear more beautiful robes on formal occasions. When they first met Makela, they naturally wore more formal dresses and outfits. After all, even if Marka is a butler, he is also a subordinate of the Earl of Amfros, and he must make a good impression on the other party, even if it is courtesy. But this was also the beginning of Su Wan's impression of Markracha. Because this old man has not left their chest, waist and buttocks since they met.
It was precisely because of the gaze of this old man that the originally scheduled meeting of nearly half an hour was broken up after only a few minutes. Even if Chen Kai was furious, in the end, he could only watch Marka walk out of the lord's mansion with his toes on his toes. In fact, Chen Kai and the others almost used the idea of sending the plague god to send the caravan and Markla out of the town of Burkna, and finally encountered the attack of the drow elves on the way. Therefore, Chen Kai's resentment towards Marka was very strong almost from the beginning, especially a few girls, because even if they were thrown into the dungeon, Marka still kept pouring foul language out of her mouth when she saw Su Wan and them, and the angry He Liwen almost gave the other party a few vicious curses. However, in the end, he was stopped by Su Wan, after all, Marka was also the caravan steward of Count Amfros. Although they could lock him up on the pretext that the other party might have embezzled the caravan's mercenary money, they could not torture him until the investigation was clear.
It was precisely because he knew Su Xinghe's jealousy that Marka still had nothing to fear even if he was imprisoned in the dungeon. Of course, Su Xinghe and the others also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Marka, who had just been imprisoned in the dungeon, to confess his actions, because once he confessed, then Chen Kai and they would have a reason to hang him directly. Even the Earl of Amfros behind him would not save this perverted old man, and he would not even punish Chen Kai for their ultra vires behavior, as long as Chen Kai submitted a passable charge after his resurrection. Of course, there must be no mention of Marca's embezzlement, because it was also a scandal for the count. It's just that the premise of this qiē is that the other party admits guilt. If the other party insists on not admitting his guilt, then the unlucky ones will be Su Xinghe and them who put him in the dungeon.
So after a preliminary inquiry about Markla, Su Xinghe and the others chose to leave the dungeon, leaving this old man alone in the dim dungeon, and even extinguished the torches. Of course, due to the fact that it is a newly built dungeon. There is absolutely no such thing as rats in the dungeons of the Lord's Palace, and even the sleeping places are much better than those prisons in the old cities.
But even so, when the door of the dungeon was completely closed, when the light inside completely disappeared, the original non-stop scolding stopped instantly. Marka was not a brave and fearless warrior, he was only an old man of nearly sixty years old. The most important thing is to face this dark world alone, something he has not experienced for decades.
"Humph! Look at you dead old man, you're still awesome! Fei Yun listened to the scolding inside, and was smug, it was his idea to extinguish the torch in the basement, of course they wouldn't do it to scare the old man to death. Every few hours, the door is opened and entered, but the time is not fixed but random, in order to torture Markra's spirit and make him collapse.
"Pay attention to the control! Don't scare this perverted old man to death, otherwise the opportunity we finally seized to turn the tables will be ruined! And if that old man dies here, we're going to be very wolf! Su Xinghe looked at Fei Yun with a smile on his face and said softly, these words were also said by Chen Kai, and now Chen Kai can only stay in reality and command remotely because he can't enter the game. Fortunately, most of the things in the town of Berkner were normalized, even if there was no one like him to deal with things, at most it was a bit of a problem with the movement of troops. The only dangerous estimate is if the Drow attacks the town of Berkna during this time. Perhaps the defense of the city will run into danger.
"Don't worry! No problem, not only will I not scare this old man to death, but I will also prepare a big meal for him! Well, it's definitely a feast! Fei Yun's face showed a lewd smile, and the weird smile made the others instantly distance at least one meter away from him, and at that moment, Fei Yun's surroundings became empty, making Fei Yun's face very depressed.
When Su Xinghe and the others had just locked Marka in the dungeon, Xu Fei heard bad news in Prime Minister Capello's mansion. That is, Prime Minister Capello was left in the palace overnight, and it is basically impossible to see each other today. Although the emperor of Hansting, His Majesty, rarely left his ministers in the palace, if there was something difficult to decide, it was necessary to discuss it overnight. Then, not only Prime Minister Capello will be left in the palace, but also the important ministers and nobles of other empires will be left behind.
"Sorry! Looks like I can't leave you behind! Old Jacob was stunned for a moment when he heard the news brought back by Prime Minister Capello's coachman, and then looked at Xu Fei and said this.
"It's okay Grandpa Jacob! I'm bothering you! It's just that I don't know why the Prime Minister was left in the palace? When will he be able to come back! Xu Fei was very depressed when he heard Old Jacob's words. But his face could not show this kind of affection, but asked him the question he wanted to know very politely.
"It's not the bones in the South! If I were twenty years younger, I would have smashed all those skeletons of bones into powder with a war hammer! It's not the old man, I blow, I was also a very brave warrior back then! Old Jacob gestured at his shriveled arm as he said this, "But I don't know exactly when the Prime Minister will return, and those guys sometimes have endless discussions!" The last time we had a meeting, we had a lot of money to talk about! ”
"Huh! What's a week? Xu Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard Old Jacob's words, if he really let those people discuss it for a week, it is estimated that Count Amfroth's people may have arrived in Burkner Town by then. After all, it was impossible for the news of a caravan being robbed not to be passed on, and even after Chen Kai and the others pulled the carriage back to the town of Birkner, they directly passed the news to the earl through some channels. It's just that there hasn't been a hint of response so far. Therefore, Xu Fei was still very worried about being troubled by the other party at the moment.
Finally, when Xu Fei left Prime Minister Capello's mansion, he reported the name of the hotel where he lived in the imperial capital to old Jacob, hoping that he could inform him when the prime minister returned. After getting the old man's exact response, Xu Fei left the prime minister's mansion, but he did not immediately go to the hotel he rented to rest, but went to the Imperial Mage Association to buy those pre-ordered materials, but it is not known when these materials can be brought back, Xu Fei must complete his mission to rush back to Berkner Town. Until then, he had to stay in the imperial capital.
When Su Xinghe and the others got the news of Xu Fei, the night had completely enveloped the town of Burkner, and Su Xinghe, who had just had dinner, had just gone to see the old man Markla when he received the news. It's just that what they didn't expect was that this old man was very afraid of the dark. But the bones were unusually hard, no matter how they threatened him, he would not admit that he had embezzled the part of the gold that should be used to hire mercenaries, but accused Su Xinghe of protecting the mercenaries and dying.
"! This dead old man simply doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin! Fei Yun, who was sitting in the conference room, slapped the table fiercely. He entered the basement with Su Xinghe, and naturally heard from Markla? Those false words that came out of Dupsay's mouth. According to the other party's words, he hired mercenaries, but those mercenaries were killed by Su Xinghe and them, and he also framed Su Xinghe and them for colluding with Zhuoer to reveal the news of the caravan to the other party.
"This old man not only doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, but he is also shameless to the extreme! We're in cahoots with Drow, and if we're in collusion with Drow, he'll be able to get out of the city gates! Zhao Tiezhu's face was also ugly, he was at the door when Su Xinghe and Fei Yun entered the dungeon, and it could be said that he could hear the words of the old man inside clearly.
"That's it! Now let's think about what else can we do to make this dead old man open his mouth other than continue to threaten him with the dark dungeon! Su Xinghe knocked on the table. The people who attended this meeting were not Su Wan and the other girls. After all, it is better to leave these things to men for torture and confession. However, due to Marka's special status and his age, some torture methods such as whipping and pepper water are impossible to use, so there is no other gain except for the bloody head of the scolded dog. At the same time, due to the other party's insults, Su Xinghe's patience with this old man is getting worse and worse, and sometimes even Su Xinghe himself can't control his urge to beat the other party.
"Just be tired of interrogation! Let him not sleep well for a day or two, and see if this old man still says anything! Guan Yu thought of this very time-consuming method, of course, this method seems to be relatively good at present, first of all, it will not cause external injuries, at most, it will make the old man Marka not sleep. At the same time, it will match the environment of the dungeon. Then it will definitely cause a lot of pressure on the other party, and it is not good that they can quickly get what Su Xinghe wants. It's just that it may take a day or two soon. And if the other party's mental will is strong enough, it may take even longer.
"That's all there is to it! Everyone takes turns to fight, and this dead old man can't be given a chance to rest! By the way, remember to stuff the sponge when you go into the dungeon! Su Xinghe knocked on the table to finalize the plan, and then went offline to report to Chen Kai. In fact, what he envies the most now is Chen Kai, not only does he not have to worry about things in the game, but he can also accompany his sister to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Thinking that the other party might be watching a movie with his sister in his arms, Su Xinghe felt very depressed because he was still a single!
However, Su Xinghe also knows his own situation, don't look at the fact that he has recovered his ability to walk under the massage treatment of the life support cabin, and he has become a top fighter in the game. But if he is allowed to run and jump in reality, the nature of the lame man will still be exposed. Not long ago, Su Xinghe went to the hospital in Hangzhou to check his body, although the tendons are good, but it will take at least a year to fully recover to the condition of healthy people, and this is still under the condition of receiving life-sustaining cabin treatment. If he relied on being massaged by his sister every day in the past, it is estimated that Su Xinghe can only walk on crutches now.
When Su Xinghe climbed out of the life support cabin, he stood on the ground with trembling legs. The numb legs made his face a little ugly, but it was more of a pleasure that he could walk upright. For a man who was once crippled. There's nothing more enjoyable than being able to walk on the ground, and that's what happened when I first started the game, and it's still true in reality. Of course, Su Xinghe still knew his purpose for going offline, and he walked out of his room after hurriedly cleaning up his body.
"Ahem!" Looking at the two people who were leaning closer to each other in front of him, Su Xinghe couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He knew that his sister was offline to accompany Chen Kai. But I didn't expect to see such a scene when I walked out of the life support cabin. Although Chen Kai's hands were more regular, the faces of the two were about to stick together, and their mouths were only a few centimeters away from them. Thinking of the good thing about breaking his sister, Su Xinghe's face was a little depressed, but at the same time, he looked at Chen Kai's eyes full of sourness.
Although Su Xinghe is not a sister control, this does not mean that he will let Chen Kai easily soak his sister away. Even if he knew that it would be impossible to stop it now, but as long as Su Xinghe was still in this villa, it would be absolutely impossible for Chen Kai to flow directly into Su Wan's room.
Of course, Su Xinghe would not do such a thing as beating mandarin ducks, but the sour vinegar smell made him cough at the moment when Chen Kai was about to kiss Su Wan, which made the two people who were silent in the ambiguous atmosphere wake up instantly.
"Huh!!" Seeing that the matter of his intention to kiss Su Wan was broken by the future eldest brother, Chen Kai's face showed an embarrassed smile, and Su Wan blushed and glared at his brother fiercely and ran back to the room.
