Chapter 45: Forced Compromise
After Murray and Salia left, Viscount Lane soon said goodbye to his aunt and uncle.
Aunt Shanna came out of the room and saw Uncle Raul sitting alone at the table, looking a little decadent.
Slowly coming to Uncle Raul's side, Aunt Shanna stretched out her hand and patted Uncle Raul on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Medsa, you have done your best, most things cannot develop according to your wishes, all this is the choice of both of them, you don't want to sit here alone and sulk, after all, Murray is from the Dragon Kingdom, he has his own ideas." ”
Uncle Raul did not reply, but continued to sit there in silence, like an ascetic in meditation.
Aunt Shanna crouched down, clasped Uncle Raul's hands, and looked up into Uncle Raul's eyes.
As the two looked at each other, Aunt Shanna continued, "I know, you think that Little Merry has deceived you, but in fact, didn't you and Augustus already know his identity in the first place?"
"Didn't he come here all the way to meet the lost dragon of their dragon kingdom?"
"From this point of view, he didn't actually deceive you anything, even if he went to the Royal Academy according to your arrangement, it is impossible to change his ultimate goal. ”
Uncle Raul finally sighed, clasped Aunt Shanna's hand and said, "You're right, in fact, I'm not angry, I'm just worried, worried that they will join forces to defeat the Empire and the Holy See?"
Aunt Shanna stood up with Uncle Raul's support, sat down on the chair next to her and said with a smile: "Hehehe, you don't have to worry about this, how can little Mori and little Ryan join forces, plus a little witch, how can they not be able to fight the empire and the Holy See? As long as they are open and honest with each other, I believe that all problems can be solved." ”
Uncle Raul shook his head and sighed: "The problem is not so simple, in fact, Viscount Lane has been lying all along, and the strength in his hands is not as strong as he said." ”
Aunt Shanna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked anxiously, "Why did this happen? Why didn't you say it just now?"
Uncle Raul shook his head bitterly: "How can I say it? ”
Aunt Shanna immediately rebuked angrily: "You, you, you tell me about you old fool, in that case, what else can't you say?"
Uncle Raul lowered his head to bear Aunt Shanna's reprimand, and then said: "I can't say, you should be very clear about Viscount Lane's methods, although his strength is not enough to resist the Empire and the Holy See, it is still easy to deal with our group of old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
"And, and in fact little Merry should be well aware of Ryan's true strength, have you forgotten that he said that he was the one who broke the difference machine at the town hall?"
Aunt Shanna suddenly recalled the conversation between several people in the room before, first confused for a moment, and then asked with some excitement: "Why? Why did Xiao Moli choose to cooperate when she knew it?"
Uncle Raul sighed helplessly, "Because he wants to protect us, to save the lives of that witch and our old fellows." ”
Salia, who had already returned to his house with Murray, received the same answer from Murray at about the same time as Uncle Raul.
Aunt Shanna was almost suitable for Aunt Shanna and asked in surprise, "What? are you only trying to protect us?"
Murray replied calmly: "Yes, if I don't agree, Viscount Lane will definitely hand you over, and at the same time, he will not continue to shelter Uncle Raul and others in the factory, so I can only choose to help him, only if I help you reverse the current defeat, he can better protect Uncle Raul and them, and you can be safer." ”
At Uncle Raul's house, Aunt Shanna was already exclaiming, "Is he crazy?
Uncle Raul sighed again and said, "As little Ryan's aunt, you should know very well how ruthless your nephew is. ”
In Murray's house, Murray also began to explain to the witch at the same time: "Have you ever wondered why Viscount Lane still has a private factory when the empire explicitly prohibits the construction of factories to produce machinery?
Uncle Raul stared at Aunt Shanna and said, "Our identities have always been the most sensitive, we can sit here because Ryan hid our identities for us, if we let the Empire or the Holy See know that our old things who once entered the Dragon Kingdom Factory are still alive, do you think the Empire and the Holy See will easily let us go?"
Saria looked at Murray in surprise: "You mean, they in the factory are not only the soldiers who were trapped and captured back then, but they have also entered the factory of the Dragon Kingdom?
Murry nodded: "Yes, everyone thinks that they were just trapped and captured back then, and the mechanical prosthetics on their bodies are the mechanical products of the empire after they come back." ”
Uncle Raul said at the same time on the other side: "But in fact, it is not like that, these mechanical prosthetics on our bodies are processed and manufactured by the machinery factory of the Dragon Kingdom, which is unknown to the Empire and the Holy See, and it is also the real value of our group of old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
Murray stared at Saria at the moment and asked, "What do you think would happen if the Empire knew that a group of old guys who used the Dragon Kingdom Machinery were alive?"
Sariya's expression became extremely solemn, and she hesitated for a long time and replied in a bitter voice: "The empire and the Holy See will do whatever it takes to capture them back and dismantle the machinery on their bodies for study. ”
Murray smiled and said, "That's right, compared to those who bring incomplete technology to the Dragon Kingdom, dismantling and researching the machinery produced in the Dragon Kingdom is naturally more valuable to those guys in your Sun Empire who have been specializing in magical machinery, right?"
"Despicable ......," Aunt Shanna roared angrily, "I really don't think my sister is worth it, I can't imagine that her son is as shameless as old Ryan." ”
Uncle Raul stretched out his hand and took Aunt Shanna into his arms, and softly reassured, "All we can do now is to cooperate with Little Moli as much as possible, and we can't be a burden to him." ”
In the dining room at Murray's house, Saria stared at him and asked, "Why do you have to protect those old guys, just because they've taken care of you for five years?"
Murray smiled and replied: "I have been with them for five years, from mutual temptation and distrust at the beginning, to trust later, they are already my friends, my family, I will never let anyone hurt my family and friends, and I don't want the Solar Empire to dominate the West, at least until I find the dragon." ”
Spreading his hands, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "So, I have to make some trouble for the Empire and the Holy See so that I can continue to search for the dragon. ”
