Chapter 034: What You Know, What You Say
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight pierced the heavy white clouds and the mist that surrounded the town, falling to the ground, creating a faint halo of light.
Strasse Aubel, Heydein Manor.
Standing on the dark green lawn, Grant smiled and asked about the relationship between Hedin and Monica's parents.
He was curious about how the two sides could have become like this, and from the quality of the product, he could see that Britney was not the kind of person who was ruthless, and Monica and Hedeyn seemed to care about each other, and there must be something they didn't know.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Heideyin's eyes, as if he was thinking about something embarrassing, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "In fact, the real cause of this incident is my father Oranwei, grandpa started as a merchant in Oslea Town all his life, and he is considered a wealthy businessman, grandpa hoped that his father could inherit the family business before he died, but he didn't expect that his father knew the daughter of a hostile family, and they directly discussed elopement. In the end, I had to run to Smokescreen Town. At that time, my father and mother gave birth to me when I was ten years old, and I ran away. ”
"Is that so? Then why did Monica's elders ignore you at all? I could tell they cared about you, but there was a flash of disgust and disappointment. As soon as Grant heard it, he knew that it was definitely a bloody story.
Speaking of this, Heidein's face was not too natural, but she still shook her head and said, "That's because I am a little similar to my father, I am directly in love with Ivy the daughter of Viscount Owen's family, which is ......" Heidein wanted to continue, but Grant really reached out and shook his head to refuse his talk. Obviously, the plot behind can also be guessed.
Britney must have seen that Hedeyn was about to follow his father's footsteps, and she didn't want to make any more contact.
"Lord Grant. I won't be like my father, even if I work hard for love. But will not give up their relatives or sons and daughters. ”
"I know, let's not talk about these things for now, let's go back to the attic first. Ivy about that, do you hear when Owen decided to get married? ”
"It should be two months from now."
"Oh, then I'll stay here for two months and come back from time to time." After Grant heard this, he also made a decision, and at the same time took advantage of two months to help Owen clear some obstacles, which was basically fine. Inserted a few more red-robed demonic subordinates.
…………
At noon, the sun grew stronger, and the heavy clouds seemed to be overwhelmed by the temperature, crumbling until they disappeared into the blue sky.
At this time, the air is still a little cold, and many pedestrians know that snow is coming.
Dressed in thick trench coats, padded jackets, scarves and gloves, they walked the streets busy with their work.
Then. Slowly walked through the city gate, two men wearing black robes.
Their full faces are hidden under the cloak and look mysterious.
Several soldiers at the city gate instinctively nervous when they saw their appearance, and they had never seen such a strangely dressed person.
"Stop!" A silver-armored soldier reached out to stop the two black-robed men standing in front. And with a straight face, he said, "Hurry up and lift your hood and see what it looks like." ”
Several soldiers behind him also walked to the front. Hold the cross-sword in your hand and wait for it.
"Hmph." Celia, dressed in black robes, saw them stop her. Instead of following their words, he tore off the gray and yellow deerskin gloves that wore the palms of his hands. With a buzz, the magic array emitting a faint white light from the back of his hand lit up, attracting the soldiers and the surrounding civilians at once.
They were shocked, and immediately respectfully moved out of the way for Seria and Veget, who was standing beside her, dressed in heavy black robes.
Alchemists are extremely rare beings at the level of Smoke Screen Town, and they have ordinary aristocratic authority. Inquiries like this can be almost eliminated.
Seria, Veget slowly walked into the city gate, and came to a gray stone street, where the shops on both sides were bustling, and many pedestrians were buying and trading there.
"We're here at the mayor's manor first, since the black-robed man and that heretical alchemist are both alchemists, I believe that as the political leader here, he should definitely know their location, and at least get a little clue."
"Well, that's right, let's get there first."
Vegett Station and Cellia walked slowly, skirting a street in the direction of the manor. Because of the privileged status of an alchemist, there is no need to be afraid of others not wanting to say it.
It took them about half an hour to come to a fairly well-decorated manor, which was wide inside, surrounded by a gray wall, and two soldiers stood firmly guarding it. At this time, they saw the two black-robed people walking here and felt a strange look, what are they doing here?
"Call your mayor for me, I want him to help with something." Celia spoke, ripping off her leather gloves to reveal her identity.
When the soldier saw the identity of the other party, he did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately a soldier hurried to inform Owen.
In the attic hall in the middle of the manor, Owen stretched and yawned with his mouth open to vent the fatigue in his body. After days of traveling, even the alchemist felt an unprecedented fatigue in his body, and he wanted to sleep, but he felt that he should first dispose of the basic work of the past few days.
No matter what, Owen still attaches great importance to Smokescreen Town, as long as he is still the first mayor of Smokescreen Town, no one in the entire family dares to shake his position.
Brush......
The dark black room was covered with a kind of sand-yellow wallpaper, a row of bookshelves stood near the wall, and a faint fireplace came out of the corner, and a few pieces of wood were burned by red flames.
He sat on a desk, with dozens of snow-white parchment scrolls in front of him, the corners slightly raised upward, and the delicate secret patterns in the corners could be clearly seen.
When he easily finished browsing a parchment roll, Owen also pursed his lips disdainfully, and his face showed a little pride: "The Morirly family really thinks that I take you in my eyes, and dare to encroach on those commercial streets in the south while I am away, today I will let you easily withdraw from there, and remember to me that you will not be allowed to get involved in the southeast." ”
He stamped the parchment with the article and the commentary, and then moved on to the next one. This information is not only his achievements, but also the basic trends of other families.
Just as he finished changing six cards in a row, there was a hurried sound at the door, and then, popping...... A rhythmic voice came from outside the room: "Viscount Owen." ”
"What's the matter? If it's okay, don't bother me for now, I'm busy right now. ”
"Your Highness, there are two alchemists out there looking for you."
"Looking for me?" When Owen heard the voice, he frowned slightly, and his face showed a little doubt and incomprehension. What are you doing these days, but you still say in a deep voice, "Let them in." ”
Owen also knew that since he was an alchemist, he could still see himself as an alchemist. In particular, he felt that the soldier did not say which family it was, but simply said that it was two alchemists, which meant that the other party was not a smokescreen town, and it could not even be Grant and his party, but what were the alchemists from outside looking for themselves?
When the soldier received the order, he straightened his body like a javelin and strode forward. A few minutes later, the wooden door was pushed open again, and two men dressed in black robes walked in.
When Owen saw the comer, he cleared his throat and squeezed out a friendly smile: "I don't know where the two of you are from?" ”
Brush!
One of the alchemists instantly took out one of his golden medallion and inserted it three inches in front of Owen's wooden table.
Owen's pupils shrank, and in an instant, all the capillaries on his skin opened, and a large area of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He knew very well that the man just now was simply showing what he was holding to himself, but the speed and strength of his wrist were inevitably a little terrifying. Thinking about it, it is clear that the alchemist's status must be very high.
There is no need to doubt this, because that great strength is the best proof.
Owen only felt that his legs began to weaken gradually, his throat squirmed uncontrollably, and his eyes showed a little helplessness, thinking about what was going on with him, how did he provoke so many big people, and he was so unkind to himself.
When he got the golden brand, he was so frightened that he threw it away as if he had seen a ghost, but when he saw that the two alchemists in front of him were still standing in front of him, he forced his fear and said cautiously: "I don't know why the provincial family of Aria Province came to the small smokescreen town?" As long as I know, I will tell you everything, no matter what it is. ”
He knew too well that even if the other party revealed his identity, he didn't need this kind of action at all, it was obvious that he was disgusted with himself and deliberately had the intention of killing himself, and the second was that he wanted to force some clues from his mouth, no matter which one it was, Owen could only be respectful to them at present, and he had to use an attitude that almost knelt down and licked their toes.
Facing Owen's birdish appearance, the corners of Veget's mouth also outlined an imperceptible sneer, which seemed to be very enjoyable. This is another kind of coolness that the strength of alchemists cannot reach, that is, power, the boundless strength from the provincial clans.
Seria glanced at Veget's sneer, and didn't pay too much attention to it, but lowered her voice, looking hoarse and deep, and said, "We need to ask you where a person is, and you have to tell us where they are without reservation." ”
"Yes, yes, as long as I know, I will make it clear to the two of you." Owen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a stammering trill. (To be continued......)
