Chapter 514: Just Know
Adam has always been very efficient in doing things, and almost immediately after meeting Susie, he finalized the time and place to meet Luna, and even disliked the royal court's beast cart being too slow, and directly sent someone to carry Susie back to the royal court on a mount.
Looking at Susie, who had always been meticulous in appearance, her hair was blown up by the wind at this time, a trace of surprise crossed Luna's eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook.
"Mr. Snake invites you to go directly to his mansion after lunch, where he and his wife will greet His Highness. Susie looked at the corners of Luna's curved mouth, made a small face, and said with a straight look.
Luna was stunned for a moment because the meeting place was set at Snake's mansion, and only after she came to her senses did she say, "Ahem, okay, I see, you, well, you're going to clean up too!"
At lunch, Luna and Silas talk about their return to the manor, and Olivia is a little reluctant, but because Luna is obviously a little anxious about Jack's departure these days, she still dispels her idea of letting Luna stay.
After the meal, Luna is not able to leave immediately, and is taken to the study by Silas.
"Are you saying that Uncle Adam came to me to find Metamorphic Steel for his brother, but if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Adam's brother is a marquis, or the only snake and beast nobleman in the Snow Wolf Country, and he has every right to apply for the use of Morphed Steel, and his share is quite large.
And I have a deformed steel in my hand, and you know that over the years, it has not even been enough to build a pair of hand armor. ”
Luna looked at Silas blankly.
Although the time to trade deformed steel with Robben City every year is summer, and now it is the end of spring, I am afraid that most of the deformed steel from the last trade has already gone there, but there must still be some reserves, and one or two pieces of deformed steel will be transferred to wait for the new year's deformed steel to arrive, and then make up for it, which is a regular obsolescence in Luna's cognition.
And why did you come to find her like this?
What's more, with the way she has been working with Adam, this kind of thing that is obviously giving away benefits to her for nothing doesn't look like Adam would do it.
"Adam was never a man without purpose. If I'm not mistaken, the amount he needs, you've got a little bit of it.
Snakes and beasts are different from us, they are not born with rich feelings, even if they are a family, they actually have no feelings. I guess these teachers must have told you about it, right?"
Silas asked, thinking for a moment.
"Yes, I did. Luna nodded
She didn't care too much about whether the deformed steel was enough, although on the surface, the piece of deformed steel in her hand that was sent by Ortos and Seth back then was squandered by the "talkative" her, and there was only a little bit the size of a soybean grain.
But the whole box of deformed steel she brought back from Kuiwes Town back then is still in the secret room!
She was more concerned about why Adam suddenly wanted to find her for the marquis brother who was a tool to each other, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own interests to find her, and to be a little bit of deformed steel.
"Do you know that if Adam's brother's title is replaced by his nephew, everything he has now will be lost?" said Silas with almost no mood swings, as if he had put too much salt in the stew today.
But Luna was shocked by the deep meaning hidden under Silas's bland words.
With her understanding of her father, she realized almost immediately that everything that Adam had would be lost, and it was probably not just that he would be replaced.
Otherwise, judging from the bad taste that her father showed from time to time that he liked to watch the internal friction of the lords in various places, he would not have specially called her to the study at all.
It's just that the snake clan is a minority in the snow wolf country after all, and some of the customs in it, even if Gote popularized some of them to Luna, but more specifically, let alone Luna, even Gote has not lived with the snake clan, and he doesn't fully understand it.
"What do you mean ......?" Luna frowned at Silas.
"The lifespan of the snake clan, without external interference, is longer than that of the orcs of other races, almost twice as long as our wolf clan, if it weren't for the fact that I am the same age as Adam, in fact, I don't know a lot of things. ”
Silas said this, pausing for a moment before continuing,
"Everything Adam has now was taken over from his uncle.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, almost all the nobles in the royal city have been passed on from generation to generation.
But for the snake clan, this change of power is fatal. In principle, this kind of thing is a family affair of the Snake family, and it is also a racial characteristic, as long as it does not harm innocent civilians, the royal family cannot interfere.
You probably understand when I say that?"
"Understood. After digesting it for a moment, Luna nodded with difficulty and asked, "So, this time Uncle Adam's brother needed Morphed Steel, but he didn't apply to you for secrecy?"
"That's right. After all, if you submit an application, you need to go through the layers, and those people in the clerical office, as you know, have them from all families, and it is difficult to guarantee the consequences after the application is handed over.
Although he is much older than Ya back then, he is still upright and in the prime of life, but for some reason his fangs have loosened, and this matter cannot be delayed or exposed. ”
Silas said with a sigh.
"How much do you want me to give?" Luna thought for a moment, not asking why Silas would know, or why Silas suddenly uncharacteristically didn't want to see the Snake family start a new round of internal friction, only asked what he should ask.
"How much you have, how much you give, two teeth should be enough. As for your loss, after the new batch of deformed steel is delivered, you submit an application, and I will put a whole piece for you. Silas looked at Luna and smiled.
"It's a little unaccustomed to my father's sudden generosity...... Luna sighed as she stared at Silas for a moment.
It's not that Silas treats her badly, but materially, Luna is actually more spoiled by Silas than her two older brothers.
But when it comes to something as sought-after as Morphed Steel, Silas has always been a big picker, and the three Luna siblings can be said to be hungry for Morphed Steel, but for so many years, what really fell into the hands of the three of them with Silas's acquiescence was the one she had since she returned from Quays.
And the big premise is that her father left two boxes of deformed steel of unknown origin for nothing.
"Did I say the extra was given to you for nothing?" said the old god Silas leaned back in his chair.
Luna, on the other hand, held back her lips and looked like I knew she was listening.
