Chapter 44: Punishment
Hearing Jerry's inquiry, Viscount Steve's face became a little embarrassed, and he said silently: "The other four valiant soldiers have been loyal, everything is my wrong choice, which will lead to such a result, may their souls rest in peace........."
"No, you're not wrong, father, it's all Aaron's fault!"
Angel pointed to Aaron's nose and shouted proudly, "It must be that this guy didn't do his best, he looked like he didn't work hard, and he only cared about his own safety, so that the other four loyal soldiers lost their lives......."
"Enough~!"
Viscount Steve's face changed suddenly, and he didn't care about the presence of the others, and reprimanded angrily: "Angeli, you shut that annoying mouth for me! Get back into your carriage at once!"
Angeli's mouth was curled and a look of embarrassment and embarrassment appeared on her face, but when she noticed that the soldiers around her had looked at Aaron, there was a strange look of vigilance and suspicion in them.........
Suddenly, an imperceptible smile crossed the corners of Angeli's mouth, and a hint of cunning and pride flashed in her beautiful eyes, knowing in her heart that her plan had worked - at least she could 'disgust' and 'exclude' this Aaron. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So, Angelie pretended to be extremely aggrieved and pitiful on the surface, and ran back to her carriage with her hands on her face, choosing to close the door as before.
"Mr. Aaron, I'm sorry that Angel didn't mean to offend your ........"
Just as Steve wanted to continue to persuade Aaron to ease the tension, Aaron raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and had to swallow the next words back into his stomach.
I saw that the corners of Aaron's mouth slowly hooked, revealing a cold smile that made the viscount's heart chill, but in front of everyone, he decisively admitted: "That's right, I haven't tried my best, after all, I'm an 'outsider' - of course, my own safety must be the top priority, if I'm willing to risk my life to save those irrelevant strangers, then I'm really stupid, am I right?"
"Lord Steve?"
Viscount Steve heard the implicit meaning of Aaron's words, and his face couldn't help but change wildly for a while, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "No, Mr. Aaron is not an outsider, I have always regarded you as a friend, so please be sure to ........."
At this moment, Viscount Steve was really anxious, especially when he heard Aaron call himself 'Lord Steve' instead of 'Lord Viscount', he almost broke out in a cold sweat, and even his hands couldn't help but clench fiercely!
"Say no more, Lord Steve!"
Aaron interrupted Steve's words mercilessly, and said calmly, "I saved you twice, and your castle secret passage also saved me once. ”
"Coupled with the care you took of me during the previous journey, we should be regarded as 'barely clear', right? Of course, I saved you twice, and I think you wouldn't mind lending me another fast horse, some rations and water, right?"
"After all, I'm an 'outsider', so I don't have to, and likewise, I can't risk my life to help strangers who have nothing to do with it, you know what I mean, right?"
Aaron deliberately bit a few syllables on words such as 'outsider' and 'irrelevant', believing that with Viscount Steve's cleverness, he must have heard the implicit meaning of his words.
Sure enough, whenever Viscount Steve heard a word, his body couldn't help but tremble, his teeth clenched, and even some green tendons could be seen on his face, obviously there was an extremely strong ideological struggle going on in his heart.
Finally, as if his spine had been removed, Viscount Steve said angrily, "Let me think about it a little more....... Rest assured, I will definitely give you an answer tonight. ”
After speaking, Viscount Steve turned around and left in a daze, ignoring the somewhat surprised eyes of the other people around him, only Jerry seemed to think of something, after taking a deep look at Aaron, he saluted him respectfully, turned around and hurried away with Viscount Steve.
At this moment, Aaron sat down peacefully, and had already come to the conclusion in his mind - judging by this posture, Viscount Steve should agree to his 'proposal', but he still needs time to calm down.
This is also 'human nature'~.
Aaron casually took the water bag from a servant, obviously seeing the suspicion and vigilance in the other party's eyes, but he didn't care about it, but drank a large sip of water happily, soothing the thirst caused by a wild run just now.
"Whew~, this is really comfortable~........ In every sense of the word. ”
The corners of Aaron's mouth hooked up slightly, forming a happy smile, and then he whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "Sure enough, the long-dead Butler Luke is really right-"
"Steve is just one of those guys!"
..............
That same evening
After everyone had eaten dinner, most of them returned to the carriage and began to rest, but Aaron surprisingly chose to keep watch in the middle of the night, running to the front of the carriage by himself, as if deliberately leaving some people a chance to 'act'.
The cold night breeze blew across the lawn, startling a field of dancing fireflies, and the entire grassland was empty except for Aaron and others, probably because of the mysterious disappearance/total extinction of the combined forces that surrounded Cooper Castle.
From this point of view, Aaron and the others are at least in Viscount Cooper's territory, and they don't have to worry about being discovered by enemy troops.
Aaron sat quietly on the grass, still thinking about the strange phenomenon in Cooper Castle, and at this time, in Aaron's vision, he could see a large number of zero chips in the previous alarm prompts-
If you find an unknown position of high-energy radiation, please stay away from the host immediately.......
If you find an unknown high-energy radiation organism, please stay away from the host immediately.......
If you notice a large number of high-energy fluctuations, please stay away from the host immediately.......
There were a lot of alarms like this, but none of these prompts sounded when Aaron was in Cooper Castle, on the contrary, they gradually appeared in Aaron's vision after Aaron left Cooper Castle.
"The radiation position in Cooper Castle is so powerful, and it even affects the function of the chip........"
Aaron came to the only conclusion about this, and it seemed that Cooper's radiation stance was so strong that even the chips that had evolved once could not alert them in time.
"However, now is not the time for me to think about these things, there is one more thing for me to deal with........"
With a mysterious smile on his face, Aaron got up and clapped his hands, and went straight back to the carriage team not far away, found his carriage and got straight on-
Once inside, Aaron picked up the fire in the corner and lightly lit the candle hanging from the wall of the carriage, and in the dim yellow light, a beautiful petite figure emerged from the dispelled shadows........
The dusk yellow fire hit the other party's fair skin, bringing it out a moving color, and the long blonde hair was draped down and the bottom was tied with spiral-shaped curls, which looked playful and cute, and people couldn't help but step forward and stroke it.
So, Aaron walked up unceremoniously and stroked the long blond hair that he had wanted to touch for a long time, with a noyer-like smile on his face: "We meet again, Miss Angelie Leo........"
The girl who appeared in Aaron's room was none other than Viscount Steve's daughter, Angeli!
