(PS: Thanks to the following book friends for the reward: @书友151028233252011, @古X月; thank you ~~~~~)
Old Ryan was the steward of the Baron's castle, and had a prominent position among the servants, and he was always so straight that it is said that no one had ever seen him smile;
But today, all the servants of the castle were amazed to find that old Ryan was actually sweating profusely trotting towards the third floor of the castle!
"Lily, do you know what's wrong with Uncle Ryan? I've never seen him like this," a handsome manservant asked the equally delicate and cute maid next to him;
"How do I know, maybe it's the Baron's account?" the young maid Lily was likewise puzzled;
Old Ryan, the castle steward, has always been very rigid, and according to his rules, if anyone runs around in the castle or even speaks too loudly, he will be reprimanded!
It's just not clear why he himself violated this rule today;
Suddenly!
Lily felt her ass tapped, and was startled:
"Ahh
"Good thing no one is paying attention here!" Lily suddenly turned her head angrily and glared at the manservant:
"Howl!what are you doing?!" the voice was low, obviously afraid that the other servants would find out about the situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The manservant Hal will not be frightened by the angry appearance of the beautiful maid, who in the whole castle does not know that this innocent and lovely Lily in front of him is actually a bitch?
So Hal smiled lightly, and moved a little closer to the maid:
"Lily, do you have time at night?"
"Uncle gave me half a bottle of wine, I want to invite you to taste it together"
"Wine?" Lily's eyes lit up, the valet meant, she knew very well that she just wanted to sleep?
But wine is a very good thing, and Lily still remembers the last time she drank wine, it was half a glass left over from the baroness;
Her eyes were shining, and she pursed her lips and smiled very cutely:
"Okay, Hal"
"I'm more than happy to accept your invitation!"
Not to mention the dirty deal between the two servants, the castle steward Ryan Sr. was indeed in a hurry now, he hurried to the third floor of the castle, stood outside the door of the study, and asked the guards:
"Peake, are you in there, are you seeing anyone?"
"Lord Baron is inside!" Guard Pique, dressed in shiny plate armor, shook his head:
"No, there is no one else, Lord Baron is alone!"
Ryan Sr. nodded and knocked lightly on the door:
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Your Excellency, may I come in?"
"Is that Ryan, come in!" Your Excellency's voice was always soothing, at least Ryan Sr. felt that he was not so nervous, and thought to himself:
"There is nothing that Your Excellency can't solve!"
"Squeak~ah!" old Ryan walked into the study, and then gently closed the door;
The study is a small room, after all, the place to store books doesn't need to be too big, does it?
There are bookshelves on three walls of the room, and they are full of books, which have been accumulated little by little by 7 generations of the White family, and most of them are unique and unique!
Ryan Sr. glanced at the books with affection, and there were several books in them that he had collected by hand.
The only wall where there was no bookshelf was a purple curtain that had been pulled open, and a small window was embedded with a transparent crystal, from which the sunlight poured in, bringing a little light to the study;
Of course, this natural light alone was not enough, so there was a silver candlestick above the large solid wood desk, on which three candles were inserted and the faint light was burned, and Baron White was sitting behind the desk reading a book;
It is not enough for a family to rely on force alone, it must also have wisdom, and these books contain the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient sages, which can be used by future generations to learn and increase their own knowledge;
That's what a family is all about!
Baron Baruch White pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve his sour eyes from reading for too long, and then closed a thick book:
"Ryan, what's going on?"
The beads of sweat on the castle steward's head were still clearly visible, and it would not be like this as usual, something must have happened! Baron Baruch White was confident in his own judgment.
Ryan Sr. first bowed his head in respect:
"Your Excellency, something has happened to Oshan!"
With a twinkle in his eyes, Baron Baruch White stood up and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back before he asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me more!"
"Yes" Old Ryan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said the information he had got;
It turned out that the White family would send one person every month to deliver money and supplies to the Subi Knights (in fact, a gang of robbers) on Osan Mountain, and generally the person who picked up and delivered the goods should return in three days;
The castle steward's brow furrowed:
"But it's been four days now, and no one has returned;
"I'm afraid something will go wrong, so I'm here to tell you"
"Well, is this the same person in charge as before?" Baron Baruch White also frowned, the Subi bandits must not have a problem!
Over the years, he has instructed this gang of robbers to rob the nearby nobles, which is very notorious, and if they are caught by others, it will prove that these robbers are members of the White family;
At that point, the family will be in a terrible situation!
The old man of Viscount Sico Sheehan in Blue Water City has long wanted to find an opportunity to weaken the White family, and that stupid Baron Hugo, if they knew about it, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity!
For some reason, Baron Baruch White felt uneasy.
"There is no replacement of candidates, and the previous person is still in charge" Old Ryan knew what the baron meant, and quickly explained:
"I don't dare to let too many people know about it, so I always let one person be responsible, and no fourth person knows!"
Baron Baruch White gave a soft 'um' and instructed:
"Ryan, you go and call Knight Rooney"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" said old Ryan and gently withdrew from the study;
Not long after, heavy footsteps came from outside the house:
"Baron, Rooney Fex's begging to see you!"
"Come in, Rooney"
The Mad Knight, Rooney Fix, has changed a lot since he returned from Bluewater;
Lately he had been working his skills, seeking revenge for the humiliation of the knights of the Hugo family, and his thin linen shirt was soaked with sweat, having just come from the training grounds;
"Baron, what do you call me to command?"
Smiling slightly, Baruch White was very satisfied with the efforts of his subordinates during this time, which was much better than before:
"Maybe Rooney has the hope of becoming a level 6 knight?"
Coughing lightly, Baron Baruch White frowned and said:
"Rooney, something should be wrong with Subi's"
"I want you to come and have a look!"
Rooney Fixes raised his eyebrows and replied:
"Yes, Baron!"

Sir Seta Finney sat on the throne at this time, looked at a fat man kneeling in the audience, and turned to ask his subordinates, who had only recovered last night:
"Knight Subi, this is the White family's liaison?"
This morning, in the presence of George Luther, Hans Dark, and Highbury, Ser Seta Feeney canonized Subi, a rank 5 warrior, as a midshipman of the Finneys;
Several of his subordinates were all flushed, their eyes were shining, and they looked very energetic, and Ser Seta Finney was a little amused when he thought about it, and felt that he had taken the right step!
As for the person concerned, Knight Subi, at this time, he was even more respectful, and there was no resistance in his eyes at all, and he even sold the White family cleanly:
"Yes, sir," said the knight of Subi, pointing to the captive who knelt there with his mouth gagged on the ground:
"That's the guy who sent us 10 gold coins a month from the White family."
"The purpose is to make the Subi Knights follow the orders of Baron White and attack the person or family he wants to attack"
Sir Seta Feeney understood this, and asked curiously:
"Who do you usually want to attack?"
"A little nobleman or a passing merchant or something" hesitated for a moment, and then Subi gritted his teeth and said:
"A few more times, let the Subi Knights assist in attacking the Hubi family!"
"This is how Billy Knight of House Hugo died"
Billy died like this?!Not because of the devil?!
Sir Seta Feeney's eyes widened, for this was unexpected, and it made sense!
At the same time, I also sighed a little, feeling the causal cycle of all things:
"If Knight Billy hadn't died, Baron Hugo wouldn't have treated himself like this, would he?"
"There won't be all kinds of opportunities later, right?!"
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly:
"In other words, this Subi Knight in front of you is still his own lucky star?"
