Chapter 64: Finlay
The lockdown lasted until the morning of the fourth day, during which time the residents of Diamond were unable to go out, and no one from outside could enter Diamond Town, and almost every resident of the city was subjected to at least two screenings. The atmosphere of oppression that had never been felt before made the civilians panic, and everyone speculated about the reason, but no one dared to talk about it in public, lest they be captured by the guards.
The people are not at peace, and the bigwigs in the core departments of Diamond Town are also worried. They know the cause and effect, so they are more afraid of being affected than civilians. In the past few days, several civilian and guard leaders who have not been able to escape suspicion have been arrested and imprisoned, and some of the less disgusted ones have been dismissed and driven back to their homes.
From top to bottom, few people in the entire Diamond Town can relax.
Willy is one of them.
For the first two days, Willy studied with Hudier during the day and practiced fencing on his own in the afternoon.
But since yesterday afternoon, Willy hasn't had to hide Ole's eyes. Because the assassination of Baron Kells was of great concern to the Earl of Lombal and some sensitive information was interrogated from the female Assassins, Ole was sent to the Count of Lombal to report the situation in person.
During this period, the newcomers of Thorpes and his party, who were training on the frontier defense line, were recalled in advance to assist work.
During this period, Willy secretly looked for Thorps, but because Thorpe was too busy with time, he was busy investigating various suspects, and he didn't even squeeze out time for a meal.
Seeing this, Willy offered to find Thorpass's captain and make it easier for him to make it easier. Thorpes refused on the spot, as the eldest brother, he was no longer as good as his younger brother, and he couldn't be a lazy person in spirit.
Willy knew that this was Thorpes's usual character, so he didn't force it. I can only say goodbye to Thorpes, saying that I will say hello to him when I see my family.
It's another morning.
After Willy finished breakfast, he walked to the office building of the Pro-Military Administration, his own exclusive classroom.
His leisurely pace contrasted sharply with that of the other soldiers who were hurrying with him.
"Lord Willy?"
As soon as Willy pushed the door in, he saw a young man in an elaborate costume waiting for him.
Willy's brows furrowed slightly, it should be Mr. Hughdil who appeared here, why is he a stranger.
"You are?"
Willy questioned.
"I am a pupil of Mr. Hudier, my name is Finlay, and Lakas of House Divar is my father, and I am his eldest son. ”
When the young man came up, he revealed his identity.
"The Duvar family......"
Willy's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Divar family is another town not far from Diamond Town, the big family of Stormwind Town, the whole family runs a medicinal herb business, and is a large herb merchant across several barons' domains. Lacas is the number two in the Duvar family, even though he has a relatively close relationship with Baron Kells. Since Finlay is the eldest son of Lacas, his status in the Divar family is not low.
It's just that what makes Willy feel strange is that Lacas, an old man in his fifties, has an eldest son who is only in his teens, which is relatively rare in this world where marriage is common at the age of sixteen.
"Hello, I'm Willy. ”
Willy briefly introduced himself.
Finlay looked at the calm and idle Willy, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure on this peer.
The name Willy has recently spread among the major families in the vicinity of Diamond Town, and it is said that he is the only student of Diamond Town Ole, and the core of the team that Baron Kells personally chose for his successor, Baron Balms. Although the Divar family is also a large family, and Lakas and Baron Kells also have personal relations, their status is completely unequal.
A nobleman, facing a businessman, is crushed by status.
Willy is the person Baron Kells has a crush on, and naturally he is also the object of their attention.
The Duvar family has a considerable business in Diamond Town, and Diamond Town is an important market for their source of income, so the Duvar family has always maintained a close friendship with the big names in Diamond Town.
Now that Willy has appeared in Dival's field of vision, he is naturally regarded as the goal of developing friendship at once. If nothing else, Willy will be the next Ole. Only by building a good relationship with such a person can the Divar family's medicinal herb business continue to operate steadily and continuously in Diamond Town.
"Mr. Wiley, it is so, Mr. Hugh Dier suddenly fell ill last night and was unable to come to your lesson, so I have come to tell you. ”
Finlay said to Willy.
"Why is this happening?"
Although Hudil looks very old, his body looks quite tough.
"It is a headache that fell in the early years, and it will always occur once or twice a year, and every time it attacks, I will stay at home alone without seeing anyone, and it will get better after half a month. ”
Finlay had obviously known Hughdil for a long time, and he was different from Willy, who was only a temporary target for Hughdil's teaching, while Finlay was the real student, and the relationship between the two of them was that between Willy and Ole.
"...... like this"
Willy wanted to pay a visit, but he didn't seem to like meeting outsiders during his illness, so he gave up on the plan.
"Thank you for making this trip. ”
Willy was polite, but didn't leave immediately, he felt that this Finlay should have something to say.
"Yes......" Finlay smiled and paused, "Lord Willy, I heard that you were a hunter and had all the knowledge of grass planting?"
When Willy heard this, he was a little surprised, although he knew that the outside world had paid attention to him, but he didn't expect the Divar family to explore himself so deeply. I don't expose my knowledge of grass planting in public many times.
"You guys are very well informed. ”
Willy smiled.
Finlay scratched his head, obviously not having done the chatter and laughter of the elders in the family.
"Our Divar family is in the medicinal herb business, and the family has a lot of precious plants, I don't know if you are interested in taking a look. ”
Finlay finally said what he was going to do.
Originally, he told Willy about the suspension of classes, and it was okay to send someone at will, but Finlay, a noble son, made a special trip to it, and the intention was obvious.
Willy was not surprised, and muttered for a moment.
When he first entered the pro-military department, Ole deliberately reminded himself that he had to slowly establish contact with the upper echelons and families around him, which was a necessary ability for a high-ranking person.
Willy thought of the fact that he was going to grow medicinal herbs in Fandoutun again, so he nodded and agreed: "Since this is the case, then I will bother you." ”
