Chapter 71: The Baron Who Can't Eat
Leaving Motes' float ship, Murray and Salia leave the underground market early and enter the tavern they had agreed with Arthur.
Finding a more remote corner and sitting down, both of them fell silent, still digesting the news they had bought from Motes.
I have to admit that the news that Motes bought from him was indeed as good value for money as he said, and it was difficult for the two of them to digest for a while.
In the end, the information given by Mortes revealed that the mother of the third Viscount of Lane was actually a wild witch.
Sitting in the tavern full of noise, Murray finally couldn't help but whisper: "I really didn't expect that Viscount Lane's mother would be a witch, so in this case, everything seems to be connected, the target of the empire from the beginning was not you, but Viscount Lane's mother, and Aunt Shanna." ”
"This time, the Twelve Golden Families of the Empire should want to join forces to attack the entire Viscount of Ryan under the pretext of purging the witch, in fact, they are forcing Viscount Ryan, whether Viscount Ryan is against it or not, the empire will take the lead. ”
Salia thought quietly and said, "But since Viscount Ryan dares to blatantly use the witch to form his own armament factory, then he must be sure enough, and he should also understand the strength of the empire's armaments, otherwise how could he have endured it for so many years?
Murry nodded, agreeing with the witch's statement: "It seems that Viscount Ryan should be confident, otherwise he would not let the empire develop." ”
Immediately afterward, Murray whispered with some puzzlement: "It's just that I still don't understand, where does Viscount Lane's confidence come from?"
In the past five years, he has traveled all over the entire Viscount of Lane, and he understands the situation in the entire Viscountdom, and Murray does not think that with Uncle Raul's factory alone, Viscount Lane will have a military power higher than that of the Empire, even if there are ten more factories.
So, Viscount Ryan dared to let the empire Chen soldiers go and give the empire an excuse to send troops, what is his hole card?
I vaguely feel that there seems to be something important being overlooked, but for a moment I can't think of what it is?
However, Saria gradually came back to her senses and asked very seriously, "So now that you know this, what are you going to do next?"
"What should I do?" Murray leaned back in his chair behind him, "It's easy, let's do what we planned." ”
"Our plan?" asked Saraya, a little puzzled, "Did we have any plans?
When the witch said this, Murry felt a little embarrassed, and quickly sat up and said, "Hehe, it's actually the plan that just came to mind. ”
Saria gracefully picked up the wine glass in front of her and asked, "So, what is the plan you just came up with?"
Murray lowered his voice very calmly and said: "It's very simple, take advantage of the battle between the empire and Viscount Lane, wake up the dragon heart, and then use the power of the dragon heart to fight out of the encirclement, and we will escape together, and go to the imperial capital and the royal academy." ”
After listening to the somewhat childish plan, Salia was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely, "This is your plan?"
Murray nodded: "Of course, isn't my plan great?"
The witch rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I originally thought that your plan was to support Viscount Ryan with your Uncle Raul. ”
Hearing the witch's words, he was a little surprised and asked, "Why? Why do you think that Uncle Raul would support Viscount Lane?"
Salia directly asked, "Have you forgotten that your Uncle Raul used to be a soldier under Viscount Lane, and your Aunt Shanna is a wild witch, do you think she will have nothing to do with Viscount Lane's mother?"
In the face of Salia's rhetorical question, Murray was really speechless, in fact, he already agreed with the witch's statement.
Obviously, Aunt Shanna is also a wild witch, and it is almost impossible to have nothing to do with Viscount Lane's mother.
Coupled with the relationship between Uncle Raul and Viscount Lane, I'm afraid Uncle Raul will definitely be on Viscount Lane's side.
So with Uncle Raul and Aunt Shanna here, how can they deal with themselves?
A series of questions echoed in his heart, so that Murray was not sure, which direction should he work in next?
After hesitating for a moment, Murray finally sighed and said, "Forget it, don't worry about that for the time being, let's fix the dragon's heart first." ”
Suddenly, Saraya asked a little strangely, "How on earth are you going to repair that dragon heart, and you really don't plan to continue to learn magic before cultivating?"
Morry nodded and said: "Yes, don't learn magic, I think what Uncle Osa said makes sense, I shouldn't just learn other people's methods, I should stick to my own way, use my technology to repair, I believe that with my way, I should also be able to repair the dragon's heart, so we need to buy those things from Motes in the black market." ”
Although she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, the witch didn't say anything more in the end, and chose to believe in the Dragon Kingdom boy for the time being.
The two of them waited for a long time, and sat in the tavern until ten o'clock in the evening, and finally waited for Arthur, who looked nervous.
Merry stood up and asked Arthur to sit down across from the witch, smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, do you need something?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Arthur said directly: "I, I haven't eaten yet, can you order me dinner?"
Murray didn't say yes right away, but looked at Saria respectfully, waiting for her master's answer like a normal servant.
Seeing this, Arthur also looked at Saria a little nervously, expecting that the indifferent lady in front of him would give him a dinner.
After a long silence, Saria nodded, agreeing to Ather's request.
Murray immediately went to order dinner for Arthur and brought back a glass of wine for Saria.
Neither of them spoke, until the tavern brought the order, and Arthur, the moment he saw the food, almost didn't want to eat it immediately, like a guy who had been hungry for days.
Seeing this, Saria was obviously a little unhappy, but she still sipped her wine elegantly and did not disturb Arthur, who was enjoying a large piece of food.
Until Arthur finished the dinner on his plate, he burped without the slightest figurative thought.
Murray couldn't help but smile and asked, "Your Excellency, how long has it been since you eat?"
Arthur came to his senses, looked up at Salia, and smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Madam, really, I'm really sorry. ”
Saria waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, since we called you, we just want to ask you, can you still contact the people of the Twelve Golden Families, or do you still have the power to use outside?"
Hearing this, Arthur was stunned for a moment, and for a while he couldn't understand what the other party meant?
Murray then explained, "Your Excellency, if you want someone to help you escape, you still need to prove your worth, right?"
Hearing Mori's words, Arthur's eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "I really can't contact the family now, but I have two helpers in this Viscount of Lane, they are my classmates in the Holy See Academy, I, I think the two of them will definitely help me, and they will try their best to cooperate with you." ”
Saria and Murray looked at each other, and then asked, "Then who are the two of them, and what is their status in Viscount Lane?"
Arthur lowered his voice and said, "One of them is named Barot, who is now the head of the garrison, and the other is named Chihong, who is from the half-blood dragon country. ”
