Chapter Seventy-Six: Actions speak louder than words

Wren could understand Viola's anger.

For the sake of a conflict of interests, he was assassinated by his uncle, and it is impossible for anyone to accept this kind of thing calmly.

Viola's mood is calm now.

In fact, just now, Wren guessed that the mastermind behind this assassination came from the family of Duke Silver Star.

Coming out for an autumn trip today was Viola's temporary decision last night, and it was difficult for outsiders to get the news and find someone to make assassination arrangements overnight.

Only the members of the family, because Viola wants to borrow the family's yacht, will know about today's itinerary, and let the elemental envoy and the female gunner lurk on the yacht in advance, and get to the place to do it.

However, there are several family members competing for the Earldom of Winter Thunder, and Wren doesn't know much about the other contenders, so it's not certain that it was Gallovena.

It wasn't until Viola recognized the origin of the Elemental Messenger that the two pieces of information combined to lock on to Gallovena.

Wren also took into account another aspect.

The Elemental Envoy is from Mordu, even if he takes a magic airship, it is impossible to reach Longshande overnight, there is only one explanation, the Elemental Envoy has actually arrived a long time ago, and has been waiting for the time to make a move.

This shows that Gallowena had a plan to assassinate Viola.

But there was one more thing Wren didn't quite understand, and asked, "Do you think that the Shadow Warrior and the Elemental Envoy are not on the same path?"

"I'm not sure. ”

Viola carefully reflected on the previous battle, she shook her head slightly, a little puzzled, "If they are not a group, who sent the Shadow Warriors?"

Wren didn't say that the Shadow Warrior was a follower of the Storm Lord, but just guessed, "Could it be Phyllis?" Her motives are not small, but how could Phyllis know that we came out for an autumn outing......

"Maybe she's been sending someone to stalk me secretly. Viola frowned slightly, and said with a strange expression: "Speaking of Phyllis, the last time the fake demon soul was scammed, it didn't move since, as if it hadn't happened. With Phyllis's character, it was impossible for her to swallow this breath, which struck me as strange. ”

Wren also thinks that Phyllis is not a silent person who suffers for nothing.

With that woman's background, strength, and status, and jealousy and hatred for Viola, how could it be just like that?

He immediately thought of a possibility and said, "Could it be that these two groups of people have colluded together?"

If this is the case, then Viola will be in big trouble, which can be described as internal and external troubles, not to mention competing for the Winterthunder Earlland, it is likely that even her life will not be guaranteed.

Viola's expression became even more ugly, and she was a little confused for a moment.

She has little support in the family, and most of her current status is due to her father's reuse by the duke because he was favored by the duke in the past and showed outstanding management ability.

If you really want to say how much the Duke values her great-granddaughter, it is actually impossible to talk about it.

Her position is not irreplaceable.

If she was successfully assassinated and died, perhaps the Duke would be angry, but that was all, and then sent someone to take over the Violet House and continue to contribute to the family's wealth.

After being silent for a while, Wren roughly understood Viola's current situation, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, I will stand with you." ”

Viola nodded slightly, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face: "Yes, I still have you, and now you are the person I trust the most." ”

She snuggled into Wren's arms, felt a sense of security, and quickly calmed down.

The warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, but Wren didn't have the slightest thought, and gave her an idea, saying: "After you return to Longshande, don't leave the Silver Star District for the time being until the end of the year." Under the watchful eye of the Wizard Tower, no one dared to do it lightly. ”

"I know. Viola snorted lightly and said confidently, "But it's not that easy for them to kill me." ”

"Whoever dares to touch you must first step over my corpse. Wren whispered.

Viola trembled slightly, but didn't speak, just pressed her face to Wren's chest, and hugged her jade arms tighter.

Wren felt the affection between the two, and his mind did not stop thinking, and gradually had an idea.

In the middle of the night, the yacht returned to Lunshande and moored into the marina in the Silver Star District.

The guards and servants on the ship were all quite frightened, but fortunately no one was injured, and now that they were safely back, everyone felt like they were in a different world.

Viola took Wren's arm and the two got off the yacht, her car already waiting on the dock.

Sitting in the car, Wren said to the driver, "Please take me to Kissam Street." ”

"Wren, it's too late, you don't have to go back to the apartment, let's spend the night at my house first. Viola didn't wait for Wren to object, and ordered the driver to drive.

The driver in front of him looked stunned and was stunned for two or three seconds before starting the car.

While driving, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Wren from the middle rearview mirror, and he felt indescribable envy in his heart.

Wren didn't think much of it, but he didn't refuse Viola's kindness.

Soon after, the car pulled into a quaint manor.

The estate is very sprawling, with a large lawn in front of the door, several fountains and cloisters, and a large garden surrounding the three-storey villa, surrounded by greenery and high walls, like a small castle.

Wren looked west from the car, and a huge black shadow towered over the night, it was the Wizard Tower.

Viola's manor was almost at the foot of the Wizard's Tower, only two or three hundred steps away, and next door to the Silver Star Academy, it was difficult to find a safer place in Lonzander.

Of course, the price of this estate is also unimaginable.

Viola whispered: "This manor is actually the inheritance left by my parents, and it is also the most valuable asset in my name. ”

Wren nodded, this kind of super high-quality asset, only a fool will sell it.

The car came to a steady stop outside the tall and solemn foyer, and a butler, who was waiting on the steps, opened the door for Viola and said respectfully, "Miss, you are back." ”

"Well, excuse me, Lady Abigail. Viola greeted the housekeeper, and the relationship between the two was cordial.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Abigail asked with concern, "Miss, you're not hurt, are you?"

She knew what was happening on the yacht through the microphone.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Viola didn't want to talk more, and Wren got out of the car and said, "This is Wren, Ms. Abigail, and you can arrange a room for him on the third floor." ”

Abigail's eyes flashed with surprise that Viola had brought her male friend home for the first time, and it was late at night.

She glanced at Wren quickly, and without showing too much curiosity, she replied, "Okay, welcome Mr. Wren to Vigo Manor." ”

"Thank you. Wren smiled at her, habitually opening the eyes of his soul.

This housekeeper is actually an extraordinary person, her profession is a ranger, but she is only level three, and her strength is relatively ordinary.

She should be about fifty years old, her appearance is good, her charm still exists, and from the perspective of soul color, she has no malice towards herself, and it seems to be a little scrutinizing, like the feeling of a mother-in-law about meeting her future son-in-law for the first time.

In addition, she, like Viola, is a believer in the Lady with Long Hair.

The three of them entered the villa, passed through the foyer, and appeared in front of them a large and graceful living room, with a huge crystal lamp hanging on the top, illuminating the entire living room, as if it were day.

Several good-looking maids stood in the living room, greeting each other in unison.

Each of them was well-trained, and there was no panic in the slightest of being suddenly pulled up in the middle of the night.

Wren could sense that everyone in this Vigo Manor had a great curiosity about himself.

Abigail's butler acted very neatly, and with two servants, he quickly helped Wren clean up the room and move in.

He had already discovered that this was not actually a guest room, but one of the owner's suites.

There were only three rooms on the entire third floor, Viola lived in the other room, the real guests lived on the second floor, and the servants were on the ground floor and could not come up without permission.

In the dead of night, Wren washed up and lay down on the soft plush bed, emptying his mind.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

So he quickly got up and opened the door.

Viola, dressed in a homely silk dressing gown, appeared in front of her.

"Wren ......"

Viola was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and then her eyes showed a little shyness.

Wren's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, but on the surface, he pretended to be very calm, and asked with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you sleep?"

Viola pulled down her collar a little nervously and said seriously: "I'm here to thank you for everything you have done for me today, especially for blocking bullets for me with your body, thank you." ”

"It is my duty to protect you. Wren took it for granted.

Viola disagreed, shook her head and sighed: "Many men usually say this, but there are very few men who can really do this. In this world, people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their lovers and even their families are always a minority. ”

She looked at Wren, her eyes brighter and more moving: "And you are one of those few people, I never thought that someone would be willing to give their life for me." ”

Wren couldn't bear such an eager gaze.

I didn't expect that my pounce, subconscious action, Viola would be so moved.

He scratched his head and said truthfully: "I didn't really think too much about it at the time, and the reason why I dared to block the bullet for you was because I knew that I wouldn't die." ”

"It doesn't matter what you think, the most important thing is that you do. ”

Viola whispered.

She walked through the door, tiptoeing slightly.

Wren caught her.

Viola suddenly let go of her hand and walked away, her face flushed.

"What's wrong?" Wren looked dumbfounded.

Viola hesitated, but said, "Wren, there is one thing I must tell you before this, when you know it, no matter what choice you make, I will agree. "I want to talk about "Warhammer Wizard" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
