Chapter Eighty-Five: Letters, Conspiracy
In the Sefrin Mansion, Milly Severin, who had just entered the door, saw the black elf man waiting in the front hall,
She looked coldly at the man she had previously called her father, "What about the letter? ”
Hearing this, the man hurriedly fumbled in his jacket pocket, but found nothing.
"I was here before," Morvin Severin kept rummaging through his body, cold sweat on his forehead, completely lacking the momentum he had when he was on the street, but looking a little resigned, "Where the hell have you been?" ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and said tremblingly, "Maybe I fell outside." ”
"Enough......" After a pause, Mi Li took a deep breath, and then scolded angrily, "The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, don't send someone to find them!" ”
"Yes, I'll go right away." Mo Wen wiped the sweat from his head, nodded and retreated.
In the past, this branch of the Severin family on Southam Island has always been the richest and most respected family in Ravenstone, so although many people are curious about why the father of the Severin family suddenly brought back such a daughter, no one will be too obsessed, especially this daughter is very good at life, and many people have been helped by her, so even Councilor Morfan didn't care too much.
Watching Mo Wen lead people out, Mi Li, who was sitting by the fire, picked up a glass of wine on the table and took a sip, her eyes gradually becoming a little cold.
The abandoned Nord hut is now home to Millie's mother and daughter.
"Aren't we going to give this back to that uncle?" In the hut, the little black elf girl looked at Keshia, who was about to open the envelope, and asked with a confused expression.
"I didn't steal it, I didn't rob it, anyway, I'll just take a look, and that guy didn't lose anything," Keshia said indifferently as she slowly unwrapped the letter that had been folded several times, "Besides, that guy wanted to beat you before, so let him be anxious for a while." ”
"Is that so?" Listening to Kashia's theory, Millie was even more confused.
"You're teaching bad boys, Kashia." Zhang Lin rubbed the tip of his nose.
"What? One of the three nightingales of the Thieves' Guild actually educated me? Kashia flattened what appeared to be a temporary piece of paper that had been torn from her notebook as stationery, and glanced at it simply, "Oh, I accidentally discovered a secret." ”
"Big brother, it turns out that you are from the Thieves Guild!?" The little girl of the black elf looked at Zhang Lin excitedly, it seemed that this little guy would choose to steal things on a whim, "Can you let me join in?" ”
The little one's mother came over with Sujama, who had just been hot, and looked at her daughter with some doting, "I'm sorry, this kid has heard too much about Queen Balanzia." ”
Karina's Queen of Balanzia is a famous black elf queen who is mentioned in many stories as a member of the Thieves' Guild and her adventures as a young man are widely known, and Millie is the age when she is most susceptible to such stories.
"You're still young, wait until you're older." Zhang Lin rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile.
"I'm not young, I'm ten years old!" Holding her head, which had her hair studded, Millie pouted.
Zhang Lin smiled and patted the other party's little head again, among the black elves who can live for hundreds of years, ten years old is really too young, and then he looked at Kexia again, "What is the secret?" ”
"A very important secret for the administrators of Ravenstone." Kashia didn't say anything straight, and handed over the letter in his hand.
Zhang Lin took the letterhead, and the contents on it were displayed in front of his eyes.
The letter was sent by a man named Wender Ulen, who mentioned that he had prepared a well-trained force at the Ember Fortress on Southam Island, ready to attack Ravenstone, and it was revealed that this fellow named Wender had a bitter hatred for Councillor Morfan, and that his ancestors seemed to have died because of Councillor Ravenstone.
The recipient of the letter was Councilor Sardinia, but there was no such councilor in Ravenstone, and it was reminded by the little girl's mother, Karina, that Zhang Lin learned that this person was the patriarch of the Severin family in the city of Blacklight, the capital of Morrowind, and it was obvious that this was a conspiracy between the two families to seize the management of Ravenstone.
The letter also mentions that Virisch, the captain of Ravenstone's Redoran Guard, will be too busy fighting the Ember's attacks to deal with other situations, so this will be their best chance to attack Ravenstone.
Seeing the captain of Verish mentioned in the letter, Zhang Lin and his party had met when they left Ravenstone Town a few days ago, when they were clearing out the Ash Demon close to Ravenstone Town.
And back in Ravenstone today, they just missed another attack by the Ash Demon, and it seems that the captain has indeed lost time for the Ash Demon's attack.
"Are you going to give this letter to the councillors of Ravenstone?" Zhang Lin shook the letter paper in his hand.
"Of course, for this, Councilor Morfan will definitely come up with a good amount of money." Grabbing the letter from Zhang Lin's hand, Kexia folded it again, "Anyway, it's just a reminder, and it's not a trouble." ”
"That Severin family seems to be rich too, maybe they'll pay even more?" Looking at his empty hands, Zhang Lin picked up Sujama, which had become warm, and took a sip.
Kexia glanced at Zhang Lin, "Are you sure that if the Severin family finds out that we know their secret, they will choose to use money to keep their mouth shut?" ”
"What else could they do?" As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lin touched his nose a little embarrassed, realizing that he had asked a stupid question.
"What else can you do, only the dead can keep secrets." Keshia shrugged her shoulders and looked at Zhang Lin with a smile on her lips.
"If they dare to do this, I'll remove the Severin family from Ravenstone in a minute." In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Lin said indignantly.
"Oh my God, is it really okay for you to talk about this kind of murder and arson in front of children?" Keshia covered her mouth with one hand and looked at Zhang Lin with a pretended to be surprised.
At this time, Millie was looking at Zhang Lin with a look of adoration, as if she wanted to see how Zhang Lin removed a family immediately.
Looking at the corners of Kexia's mouth gradually opening, Zhang Lin didn't know that she was doing it on purpose, to "revenge" for what he had just taught her.
glared at Kexia, Zhang Lin pushed and pushed her out, "Go quickly, this matter will be done early." ”
"Eh, aren't you going?" Kexia, who was about to open the door, saw Zhang Lin sit back again.
"I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to rest again." Zhang Lin turned his head perfunctorily.
Keshia chuckled and pulled up Serana, who was silently nibbling bread at the table to make the crowd of onlookers, "Serana, let's go!" ”
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Serana nodded.
