Chapter 504: Spreading the News
Fort Fort, inside the Viscount's residence.
Although it seems normal, you can also notice that the patrol team is a little more rigorous than usual.
However, everyone was not surprised, and the news of the death of Alan, the son of Viscount Albert and the future heir of the Viscountdom, had spread throughout the fort.
Viscount Albert sat in his drawing-room, his face extremely gloomy.
In front of him, were two of his vassal knights.
These two knights had been following Eren before, protecting each other's safety.
But the situation of the two knights at this time was not very good.
Under the gaze of Viscount Albert's murderous eyes, although the two of them were much stronger than the former, they did not dare to make the slightest movement, and they did not even dare to wipe the cold sweat on their faces.
"What did I ask you to do?" said Viscount Albert slowly.
"Keep Master Alan safe. The two replied in fear.
The murderous intent in Viscount Albert's eyes was even worse, and his tone became extremely angry: "Then you come and tell me, where were you when my son died?"
"Son, Lord Viscount, Master Allen, he, he won't let us follow. A vassal knight stammered in defense.
Hearing this, Viscount Albert's anger was even worse, and he almost roared out angrily: "If he doesn't let you follow, you won't follow, who is the master of this land, I haven't died yet." ”
Of course, Viscount Albert knew what his vassal knights were thinking, but it also made him even more angry because of this.
Even at this time, a feeling of 'Alan is good to die' rose in his heart.
"Of course you didn't die, but didn't you have a few days to live? ”
The vassal knight thought in his heart, of course, it was impossible for them to say these words, after all, they didn't want to die yet.
Viscount Albert stared coldly at his vassal knight, extremely disappointed in his heart.
"Forget it, you go and train the soldiers. "After deciding on the punishment, Viscount Albert let the vassal knight leave.
The two vassal knights breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took their leave.
Looking coldly at the backs of the two vassal knights leaving, Viscount Albert clenched his fists, if it weren't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, he would definitely not let the two of them go so easily.
But when this crisis is over, he doesn't mind settling accounts after the fall.
At that moment, another vassal knight strode up.
"My lord, the corpse has been disposed of, and the news released to the outside world is that the soldier who died when he killed the powerful beast, and Master Allen was eaten by the beast. ”
"Hmm!" This kind of treatment made Viscount Albert's face soften slightly, looked at him and said, "Only you are the most reassuring to me. ”
"Lord Albert, we've known each other for so long. The vassal knight humbly bowed his head and replied.
Viscount Albert's eyes were even more relieved, looking at this playmate who had grown up with him since he was a child, he sighed heavily, "I believe you are right, the other vassal knights, all of them are waste, eat me and drink mine, without any contribution, and actually want to deceive my manor as a fief, it's just a dream, a group of bastards who eat inside and out, am I really confused?"
"Don't say that, adults. The vassal knight hastened to dissuade him, and at the same time motioned to the others that this could not be heard.
Viscount Albert slapped the table heavily: "Why don't these two wastes stop Alan from leaving, and even after Alan leaves, it's not like me to report, don't I know?
"Don't say that, my lord, after all, it's your son. The housekeeper is also dissuading.
Baron Albert gasped angrily.
When his temper passed, he gritted his teeth and said, "These damn bastards, that's it." ”
When the butler and the vassal knight saw Viscount Albert recover, they also glanced at each other, and they both had a helpless wry smile in their eyes.
They still know their master relatively well, and they are okay in other aspects, but their desire for power is too heavy, unless they die, as long as they have a breath, they will not give up the rights in their hands, and they will not give up the rights to anyone, even if that person is their son.
And those people began to show loyalty to Alan before he died, so that his orders could not be truly carried out, which was a challenge to his majesty, and a disguised weakening of the power in his hands.
So they were not surprised that Viscount Albert was so angry.
"My lord, what makes us strange is that we have found traces of black boxes. ”
The vassal knight spoke: "These guys are really too mysterious, I don't know if there is anything related to the death of Young Master Allen?"
"Heh, is it a black box that can be bought with any intelligence? It doesn't need to be strange to appear anywhere. ”
Viscount Albert let out a sneer, as a person who knew the existence of the mysterious one, of course knew how ridiculous this slogan of the black box was.
Of course, he will not despise the other party because of this, because the other party can still survive well after saying such a slogan, and grow stronger and stronger, and there must be huge support behind him.
The vassal knight also shook his head helplessly, frowning, and said, "But at this point in time, it is a little strange to appear there. ”
But Viscount Albert's face remained unchanged.
Bowing his head slightly, his voice was slightly hoarse: "It's not because the seeds of the tree of life can increase the life span by ten years and regain youth, this is a temptation that no one can refuse, not even a black box." ”
Exhaling heavily, Viscount Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "Pay attention to the inspection, it seems that the people from the black box have infiltrated it." ”
"Yes. The vassal knight bowed his head in response.
Fort Rock is his territory, and Viscount Albert will not tolerate anyone interfering, not even as a shadow.
He clenched his fists, feeling the long-lost sense of strength, and his eyes burned with fighting spirit. Before, he was old and frail, and there was no way, but now, this territory is still his after all.
"You have spread the word about my ten years of life, my return to youth, and the seed of the tree of life. After some venting, Viscount Albert regained his composure and ordered in what seemed unbelievable to the others.
"Yes, I'll ...... it," the vassal knight replied subconsciously, but immediately reacted, looking at Viscount Albert with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Viscount Albert frowned slightly, and said, "What do you want me to do like this?" ”
"My lord, do you really want to spread it?" said the vassal knight hesitantly.
This is a treasure that can increase the life span, and once it spreads, it can meet how big a wave it can cause, and I am afraid that the entire empire will boil because of it.
"Do you think I'm going to say it? It's a deal with the other party. Viscount Albert sighed and said helplessly: "Moreover, do you think that even if we don't say it, they won't know?"
"I went out just now, I'm afraid the news is already on the way, right?"
Viscount Albert sneered.
The vassal knight suddenly had nothing to say, the reason for the leakage of this matter was in front of his eyes, and he couldn't say anything. What's more, even if Viscount Albert doesn't go out now, sooner or later he will go out.
After all, as the controller of the territory, Viscount Albert can't always be gone, especially now that the heir Alan has died, it is even more impossible for him to hide in the room all the time.
"I see. The vassal knight bowed his head in response.
Viscount Albert nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Well, go ahead, remember, and don't let others know that we spread the news." ”
