44 Conversation at the dinner table
Because of the need to investigate the whereabouts of the scholar, the tall and thin Newt was finally imprisoned, and Alan silently mourned for him, but he didn't think he would be punished by those punishments, after all, everything before was also cooperative.
Regarding the follow-up of this matter, there is no need for Allen's attention, nor does he need to assist in the investigation, those who have their own Samuel family to do it.
It seemed that Alan could do his own thing, but at the dinner table the next afternoon, Gross gave him a task.
"If that scholar can spot anomalies, why can't we?" The Fat Duke has been busy lately, not only dealing with the large number of vacant management positions in the city, but also having a headache about how to deal with the rebels, and it is said that he is planning other things, but Alan has no idea about it.
Although he is already so busy, he also has to take care of his daughter's affairs, so Allen, who was eating silently, heard such a sentence, but he really didn't stop eating.
Glancing up at the fat duke, he saw that he was speaking to Catherine, so Alan didn't care about himself, and lowered his head again and silently ate the roast steak on the plate.
"The most important thing for us now is to find the scholars so that we can understand what is hidden. "Unlike the fat duke, Catherine's main concern during this time was all about how to make her daughter better, so when this matter was mentioned, she said: "We are now going forward at both ends, on the one hand, we have entrusted Sir Tyron to help go to the underground world to find a way, on the other hand, we must find the disappeared bachelor, since he can do such a thing as pretending to be crazy and stupid, he must have found something!"
"Maybe we could consider a third option?"
"What's the solution?"
"Well, we should try it whenever we can, as the old saying goes...."
The two couples didn't eat well, and they were still discussing all kinds of problems, and they didn't have the quiet elegance of Margaret on the other side, but it didn't seem right to say that Margaret, judging from her absent-mindedly handing the spoon to her face, she was probably also thinking about these things.
If he can help anything, Alan must not be stingy, but he thinks that it is better to do what he should do now, this family has been researching for so long and has not found any effective methods, he does not think that he can make a breakthrough with his own knowledge.
"If you're lucky, my six-pointed draw might be able to draw something that helps. β
Muttering secretly, Alan mechanically finished the food on the plate, and then stopped the servant from continuing to act for him, and was about to go back to his room to read the contents of his newspaper, only to find that the fat duchess and duchess, who were talking endlessly, suddenly turned their eyes on him.
"Nephew Allen, what do you think of our proposal?" the fat duke looked at him with burning eyes.
"Me?" Alan blinked blankly, "What's the matter with me?"
To be honest, he didn't listen carefully to the conversation between the husband and wife, so Alan didn't know anything about what they were talking about, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he could only nod vaguely: "Well, it's good." β
"Haha, you're a good guy, I knew you wouldn't refuse!" Catherine nodded with satisfaction, and Gross laughed too, patting the table with her chubby hand: "Then it's decided, find out what the scholar found out from Renee, and we'll leave this task to you." β
"What? Iβ" Alan opened his mouth quickly, but was dumbfounded when he found that the Gross had begun to study again.
"What's going on?" he secretly used teleportation to contact Margaret across the table.
"Father, they want to find something from their sister that the scholars have found, but they think that normal people don't have a clue about this kind of thing, and it is estimated that only you mages will have a way, so..."Margaret said, looking at Allen's eyes with a look of anticipation: "So when will it start?"
"Start what?"
"To complete this task, are you going to see your sister first, or do you do something else first?"
"I don't think this is a bit too hasty?" Alan has understood by now, and he has no idea of refusing, but is a little depressed.
His family knows his own affairs, and he is good at the release of spells, but he is a layman when it comes to spells and related research. As far as this matter is concerned, it is estimated that it is enough to make him research something.
"Tell me up front, I don't necessarily find anything. He interrupted the conversation between the fat duchess and the duchess, and said solemnly, "I can only say that I will do my best." β
"Just do your best," Gross waved his hand, "It's good to have a harvest, but if not, we're mentally prepared." β
This is a "spare tire"?
Seeing that they were working on all sorts of strange other plans, Alan pursed his lips, but didn't pay much attention to it, and after saluting his farewell, he went upstairs with Margaret.
"By the way, where is Jacob's senpai?" he suddenly remembered that there was one less person at the table.
"Grandfather went to the third uncle and uncle. Margaret replied, "Probably something important." β
"Oh. Alan said that he understood, and that this matter was necessary for the sake of Samuel's stability, after all, the gang had already expressed their dissatisfaction with Gross in the rebellion, so there had to be a peacemaker to come out and play a round in this matter, and it was obvious that there was no better fit than Jacob, who was an elder.
"Jacob's predecessor should have investigated this matter before, right?
Alan Fu brought up the task he had inexplicably received from his head again.
"He was only halfway done, and his father was entrusted with pacifying the army," Margaret replied, "and he asked me to tell you that the boy was not lying, and that there was nothing else but that." β
"Tell me?"
Alan found the loophole in this sentence, looked sideways at Margaret, and asked suspiciously, "Did you premeditate this to let me take over this matter?"
"It's all my father's discussion. Margaret blinked, her face full of innocence: "I'm only responsible for passing the word." β
"Okay. Alan rolled his eyes, secretly depressed.
What can he say, "You are calculating me, and I am going to do it?"
Apparently he wasn't that naΓ―ve.
"Nothing other than that?" Alan reconfirmed.
"Nope. Margaret shook her head, "But he suggested that we should start investigating some of the actions of the scholars at that time. β
"Nice advice. Alan nodded absentmindedly, he was already in the groove.
As they talked, the two of them made their way up to the top of the castle, but as soon as they reached the top, the heart-rending screams came to their ears.
"Again?"
He hurriedly ran over, but as soon as he arrived at the door, before he could see the situation inside, his eyes were suddenly covered.
"Don't look!"
