Chapter 400: The Poor Man of the Evans House
Just as Wang Xu and Franconian entered the study and began to talk about business, Franconia's sister Yuli also came to the place where her grandfather lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a relatively short metasequoia tree, although this metasequoia tree is very short, but it grows very strangely, it is not like ordinary metasequoia trees with sparse branches and leaves, it has long branches and leafy leaves, and even has a bowl-shaped crown like an oak tree, which makes people who see it think that it is a new variety of trees produced by the cross between metasequoia trees and oak trees.
Paul Evans' treehouse, just under the canopy of this metasequoia tree that only three people hug, his treehouse is so large that when combined with this relatively thin metasequoia tree, from a distance, I thought it was a large square hammer.
Tethered to her horse, Yuri followed the wooden staircase that swirled around the metasequoia tree to a small platform paved with wooden strips in front of the door.
Walking to the humble door of the wooden house, Yuri took a deep breath and stabilized her emotions, knocked on the door with a "pop, pop, pop......", and then said softly: "Grandfather, it's me, Yuri ......"
"What's the matter?" Yuri, who waited for a long time and no one opened the door, thought that her grandfather was not there, but who knows, suddenly, her grandfather's voice came from inside, but despite this, the wooden door still did not open.
Yuri, who was closed, did not leave, she knew very well that her grandfather's personality was so weird, and she was also very considerate of her grandfather.
She understood that the reason why her grandfather was so weird was because five hundred years ago, her father, who was her grandfather's only child, was killed in a war with the trolls, and since that day, her grandfather has become weird.
Yuri also understands that compared to her brother, her father, both in terms of ability and courage, is a rare talent in the entire Evans family in a hundred years, just when her grandfather passed the position of patriarch to her father, and when he was looking forward to the rise of the Evans family again, his father fell, and his grandfather not only lost his only son, but even the family's desire to revive again was disappointed.
The grief of losing a child and despair of the future fate of the family were the main reasons for my grandfather to become such a cynical recluse, and it was precisely because of these two reasons that no one could make my grandfather go out to take charge of the mountains again, and now my grandfather did nothing but blame the juniors.
After recalling the reason for her grandfather's fall, Yuri took another deep breath, knocked on the door again, raised her voice a little, and said to the wooden door, "Grandfather, someone wants to see you!"
"No!" Paul Evans' indifferent reply came from inside the wooden door.
"Grandfather, it's your acquaintance who wants to see you, and she asked me to hand you a token, she said, you read the token, and you will go to see her!" Yuri said everything that should be said, if her grandfather didn't open the door in this way, then she had no choice but to leave, as a junior, if you want to see your elders, you can't break in.
"Click......" The crisp sound of the door latch being removed, the sound of "creak...... the door shaft rubbing, the wooden door opened, and a middle-aged elf who looked like a decadent temperament walked out from behind the door, he was quite clean, but he was not wearing shoes.
"What kind of tokens, give it to me!" Paul Evans squinted at his granddaughter, Yuri, and held out his right hand.
"Just this metal ......card," Yuri respectfully said, holding the Mithril token that Nilou had given her in both hands, and gently placing it in the palm of Paul Evans' hand.
"This!" Paul Evans, who had just taken the Mithril token in front of him and glanced at it, as if he had been startled by something, his eyes widened suddenly, his nose puffed up with "snort, snort......", his face suddenly changed from pale red to sauce red, and his breathing rate suddenly became extremely fast, as if he was about to suffocate, and even his forehead was sweating.
"......Clang" There was a crisp sound, as if the token was very hot, Paul Evans trembled with both hands, and dropped the token to the ground, and then, Paul Evans seemed to be frightened, and after a period of convulsions, he quickly fell to the ground, shaking his hands slightly, and held the Mithril token back in the palm of his hand.
Yuri, who watched her grandfather's actions on the side, was also completely stunned, Yuri, who has lived for almost a thousand years, has never seen her grandfather like this, in her impression, her grandfather is a picky, serious, unsmiling, and very indifferent person, but is the person in front of him who has such violent mood swings still his grandfather?
Just when Yuri wondered if her grandfather was crazy, Paul Evans, who was originally prostrate on the ground and holding a Mithril token, stood up suddenly, and asked his granddaughter loudly with excitement on his face: "Where is the person who gave you the token, take me to find her quickly, quick!"
"Okay!" With a puzzled expression on her face, Yuri whispered back to her grandfather, "You come with me......"
With that, Yuri led Paul Evans down the "misshapen" metasequoia tree, and each mounted his own mount, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, Wang Xu, who began to talk about business, replied Francon: "I did not ask you to move the people in your territory for no reason, this is a last resort, if you don't take it away, then, I promise, in five days, there may not even be a living person here." ”
"For ...... Why, out of ...... What's the matter?" Francon, who was stunned by Wang Xu's bluffing, still asked Wang Xu with his tongue unfavorable, and his voice still had a strange trill, which fully explained the degree of fear in his heart at this moment.
"In the morning, I slaughtered 10,000 centaur warriors, and tonight, they will become unjust souls to take revenge, this is the first reason to hurry up," Wang Xu sighed, and replied in a bitter tone: "The second reason is that the new enemy will arrive soon, tomorrow morning, 50,000 enemies of the mermaid clan will be assembled in the Suoyan Lake in the south of the city, and tomorrow afternoon, about 250,000 to 300,000 kobolds and pig-headed orc troops will line up in the east of the city, and their goal is only one, that is, to take Iris City!"
"For ...... I don't have rich minerals, I don't have fertile land, I don't have any native products, they ...... Why are you attacking my city of Iris?" Franconian asked again in a strange tone, and out of fear, his brows twisted into twists as he asked.
"Hey, it's not your fault, the reason why the enemy is worried about the territory of Iris City is because, the bottom of the Locked Smoke Lake in the south is the passage connecting the underworld and the Loren World, and now, the Hades and the Great Demon King Zagu have reached a cooperation agreement, so they want to unlock the seal on that passage, your Iris City is so close to the Locked Smoke Lake, if you don't capture your Iris City, are they still in the mood to break the seal?" Wang Xu told Franconian the reason.
"That's right......" Franconia sighed, still trembling.
Just as Wang Xu was about to discuss with Francan the specific steps to move out the residents of Iris City, there was a "......bang" sound, and the door of the study was slammed open from the outside.
I saw a middle-aged elf with bare feet, staring at Nilou with tears in his eyes, and howling, "Sister......" (To be continued. )
