Chapter 408: The New City Lord (3/3)

Black Rose Estate.

As the days passed, the old general Gris's health became worse and worse, and the atmosphere of the castle became more and more depressing.

Every time Arthas came to visit his father, he would be angry in private, and a young maid who was in his way and did not get out of the way, was pushed out by his hand, and fell to the ground vomiting blood, and is still lying in bed.

Terry became more and more silent, he had been out of place all day, his body was surrounded by low pressure, and the servants had been hiding far away except for food for him.

As for Eru, he is also getting more and more anxious, but he knows that he is not qualified to lose his temper at will, so he is the most peaceful person in the Black Rose Manor.

By this time, he was basically desperate about the assassination, and the reason why he still took the manor with him was for the last persistence in his heart, and the second was to accompany his grandfather through the last time.

Maternal grandfather Gris's body is declining day by day, and he can last for half a year at most, while he is going to take refuge in the Foggy Moon Continent, and this time he is already a farewell.

Thinking back to the time when he was a child, his grandfather transformed into a giant eagle and took him to the sky, how strong and mighty his grandfather was at that time, and now he is lying in bed unable to move, his body is getting thinner and thinner, and his life is leaving him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The thought of this filled Eru's heart with sadness.

So in the last half month, Eru decided to accompany his grandfather well, and the place he spent the most these days was his grandfather's bedroom. As long as you can see a smile on my grandfather's face. He was satisfied.

Of course. More often than not, there was silence in the bedroom, and Gris liked to hold the hand of his only grandson, and watch quietly, the light in his eyes full of gentleness and reluctance, and a hint of pity.

These days, he saw the true nature of his grandson, and he believed that if his kind-hearted grandson could become the lord of the city. It will definitely be Lionheart's luck.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Time passed day by day, this day, Eru was in the bedroom with Gris as usual, his experience was limited, the story of this trip had already been told, so he took a popular story on the market and read it to Gris, and Griss also listened to it with relish.

Suddenly, there was the sound of heavy, hurried footsteps outside the bedroom door, and the sound sounded chaotic. Something should have happened.

Shocked in his heart, Eru put down the book in his hand. Turning his head to look at the bedroom door. Gris's face also moved, he thought more, and an anxious look appeared on his face: "Go, go and hide, hide in the cabinet, there is a secret door in the cabinet"

Before he could finish his sentence, the bedroom door was pushed open, and the first to appear at the door was Arthas, who had a relaxed smile on his face, unlike his usual gloomy appearance.

"This?" Gris wondered in his heart.

Eru had already reacted, and he stood up with a 'take' moment: "Has Rollin succeeded?" ”

Salthus didn't answer, he stepped out of the way, and behind him, a young woman in black leather armor walked in, this woman had a warm baby face and an apologetic smile on her face: "Father." ”

"Little aunt." Eru was stunned and hurriedly leaned over to salute.

Grace was completely stunned, his lips were trembling, his hands were trembling, his eyes were shining, and after a long time he let out an angry cry: "You still know to come back!" ”

At the same time, he threw the book next to him towards Wendy Lu with all his might, but the book did not have much strength, and Wendy Lu gently reached out and took it.

She stepped forward, sat down in the chair Eru had been sitting on, gently placed the book on the side of the bed, took the old general Gris's still trembling hand, and whispered, "Father, I'm back." ”

The so-called old man misses his family, Gris no longer speaks, holding his little daughter's hand with both hands, tears actually flowed from his eyes, and he called Wendy Lu's nickname: "Sha'er, you are finally back." Just come back. Still walking? ”

Wendy Lu was full of apologies in her heart, held her father's hand, and said softly, "I won't leave, I will stay in Lionheart City." ”

In fact, she will go, because she never likes to be confined to a small town, she likes to travel the world and venture around. But not now, at least until his father leaves safely, and after Eru takes the throne of the city lord.

"That's good. That's good. Gris's heart was overjoyed, and his face looked much better.

Wendy Lu took the opportunity and said, "I brought a piece of news. The lord of Elok is dead, assassinated by that samurai of yours, Rollin. ”

She turned her head to look at her nephew and smiled, "From today onwards, you will be the new lord of Lionheart." ”

"What about Rollin?" Eru's face was mixed, and his heart sank a little when he didn't see Rollin.

Seeing his appearance, Wendy Lu sighed in her heart, she had to admit that Rollin's kid's vision was very accurate, and her nephew was indeed kind. She suddenly understood that such a character was not necessarily a bad thing, maybe he might be deceived, but he might also recruit a hero like Rollin.

After ups and downs, not forgetting the original intention, this is Rollin's evaluation of Eru, but in Wendylu's opinion, he is not so.

"He's fine, but he's been injured a bit, he's not strict, but he's in need of a long period of recuperation. You may not even see him during this time. Wendy Lu lied to Rollin's intentions.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Is there anything I can do to help him? Eru's face relaxed.

"No, you don't. As long as you don't bother him with the mundane things of Lionheart. Of course, you can also go to see him when you have time. ”

"Oh." Eru relaxed, and it was only then that he realized that he was about to become the lord of the city, and his face slowly brightened with joy.

Wendy Lu patted her father's hand, then stood up, and her originally gentle face had become stern: "Although Elok is dead, there is still a problem. As far as I can see, the current general Mendel had the idea of self-reliance in his heart. This man is no longer reliable. ”

"Mendel. Self-reliance? Griss was incredulous. He watched Mendel grow up, didn't he?

"Father, this is the result of my observations. You must know that people change, he is now the number one powerhouse in Lionheart, and Eru will not have the force to suppress him now and in the future, and if this person really gets the opportunity in the future, betrayal is not impossible. Wendy revealed. Then she turned to Eru and asked, "So, as the Lord of the New City, what do you think should be done about this?" ”

Eru had already begun to take on the role, and some of the truths he had told him on the ocean going aboard the Goddess of Springs came to mind, and he pondered for a moment before expressing his opinion: "No, he won't betray, at least not for years." During this time, I will go to gain the loyalty of the Force warriors of the castle. Slowly marginalize him. When the time comes, even if he betrays. He can't bring much power to the brink of arms, and I have an excuse to gather forces to get rid of him, and at the same time take the opportunity to regroup the army in Lionheart. ”

"Huh?" Wendy's eyes lit up and she continued to ask, "But you don't have the strength to convince the people, how can you gain the loyalty of the warriors?" ”

"With my surname Escade, with the resources and power I have at my disposal as Lord of the City. That's my biggest strength. I believe that as long as I find the right person and treat him with enough sincerity, he will definitely repay me with loyalty, just like Rollin and Juta. The more Eru spoke, the smoother his thoughts became, and the more confident his expression became, until in the end, he was upright to his little aunt and smiled calmly: "Auntie, in this world, the means of being able to obtain loyalty is far from being a kind of force!" ”

'Papa' Wendy Lu slapped her palm and expressed her appreciation: "Eru, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have really grown up." A few days ago, Rollin told me that you would be an excellent city lord, and I didn't quite believe it, but now it seems that he was right. ”

Eru suddenly smiled shyly, reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of his head: "Actually, this is the reason that Luo Lin told me. He said that a leader should know how to use his position to overwhelm others, so even a peerless powerhouse cannot fight against it. I didn't understand it before, but I've been thinking about it these days, and I've tasted some of it. ”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room reacted differently, Arthas and Terry didn't feel anything, but Wendy Lou and Gris were shocked, these words were full of majestic atmosphere, it was a supreme power technique, this is not something that ordinary people can say.

"The origin of this Luo Lin is unknown, you have to check it carefully." Gris instinctively authentic.

Wendy was stunned and hurriedly stopped: "Father, there's no need for this." He has now retired and recuperated, and will not interfere in the affairs of Lionheart. With such a character, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him. ”

"Hmm~~~ You're right." Gris nodded in agreement, and then said, "Sha'er, then Eru will take charge of the matter of Eruk's accession, don't let that Mendel mess with it." ”

Alsace on the side of the "father" was stunned, he was the eldest son, shouldn't he do this? From the moment he heard that Elok had been killed, he had been expecting to be the next general, but in the current situation, it seemed that this general was about to fall on his sister.

Gris waved his hand: "Don't say it, just listen to your sister." ”

Arthas still had to argue, Wendylu was impatient, her body moved, she suddenly turned into a phantom, and arrived in front of Arthas in an instant, her hand lightly touched her brother's throat, and then retreated like a phantom, looking at her brother with a shocked face, and asked with a smile: "Mendel's strength is comparable to mine, in the face of such a master, if he turns his face against you, how should you deal with it?" ”

"This" Arthas's throat moved, and he found himself speechless.

"Alright. Eru, while no one reacts now, let's go to the Lion Castle! Wendylou ignored Arthas and turned to look at Eru.

"Yes, little aunt!" Eru nodded happily, and quietly relieved in his heart.

To be honest, if his uncle takes the lead, he will have to think about how to settle his uncle in the future, because he knows his uncle's character, once he is in a high position, his tail is easy to, and there may be problems. And now that the little aunt can come back to help and dominate the situation, this qiē trouble is completely unnecessary. (To be continued......)
