Chapter 140: Undercurrent
Today, the city of Lanto is crowded with people and bustling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Originally, this famous town in the southwest was already quite prosperous due to the wealth brought by the minerals.
But it's not as lively as today.
To celebrate Miss Carlo's succession to the family, Ranto Collar is preparing for a grand event.
Is the event a Yu-Gi-Oh competition?
What the hell is this?
If the people who have seen Toposso lead the game still know it, then the first reaction of others is to be overwhelmed.
That's exactly what Lynch wants.
Slowly promote, don't want to complete the task for the rest of your life, and maximize the influence of the nobles to advance quickly.
"This Lanto has held grand ceremonies again and again, and it is really heartwarmingly rich. An alien nobleman couldn't help but exclaim.
Even the aristocracy who liked to hold banquets rarely spent money like this.
If there is no such astonishing wealth, how can it attract such a huge peep?
"It's a good idea that Miss Carol wants to ruin Ranto and then no one will be looking. Another nobleman teased.
Although Viscount Lanto's efforts prevented the incident about Miss Carlo's dishonor from circulating among the commoners, changing the pressure of public opinion, the nobles held a mocking attitude in private.
Some even think that it is extremely unwise to pass on the family position to Miss Carlo.
Molly Lanto is one of them.
How could the clever Viscount Ofie pin his hopes on Lynch?
As one of the direct heirs of the Ranto family, the silver-level swordsman Mori Lanto was very dissatisfied with this.
"It's ridiculous, the old fellow has been spoiling her, and she's been in league with the lowly bard, ruining the family's honor and making the whole family a laughing stock of the Empire. β
"That's all, but he also spent a lot of money to hire Bishop Emily to be her teacher, and the goddess Nabis is above, how can such an unhonorable woman defend the dignity of God. β
In the aristocratic circle, the story of Morry Lanto is not a secret, he also aspired to become a paladin and fight for the glory of the gods, but his qualifications are not good, it cannot be said that it is very bad, it can only be said that it is average, and now he is forty-five years old, and he has reached the peak of silver.
This means that he will never be able to break through the gold realm in his lifetime.
In fact, this is the normal level of most mortals, and it can't be compared to those monsters in their teens with silver and gold in their twenties, but how can the heir required by the Lanto family be a normal level?
Those who can lead a family to become strong must be capable people.
"You're very right, my friend, only you are qualified to be the heir to the Lanto family, a family needs a mature and steady leader, this is not something that Miss Carol can afford to just come of age, besides, this competition, a game that costs a lot of money, is said to be because Miss Carol is infatuated with Toposo's fiancΓ©. β
Viscount Orphee quietly complimented Morry, and then spread rumors.
If Lynch knew that Viscount Orphee was constantly creating an affair with Miss Carlo, he must ask him for mental damages!
"Oh my God, this is terrible, this woman is infatuated with the fiancΓ© of another nobleman! this shameless woman!" Molly cried out angrily, as if he had encountered the end of the world.
"Yes, that's the case, in order to curry favor with that character named Lynch, he spent so much of his family's wealth, and he is not ashamed!"
"The old guy is really old and confused, why should he choose her. β
Morley seemed to accept this explanation, and kept roaring that if he had seen Lynch, he would probably have torn him alive.
I won't choose you as a piece of shit.
Viscount Ofie thought that when the matter was completed, he must throw this sentence in his face, and he must be very happy at that time.
Being able to work against Viscount Lanto, Viscount Ao Fei is naturally a genius who entered the gold realm at a young age, how can he not be a little arrogant in his heart.
For Miss Carlo, who is also a genius, he is still a little jealous in his heart, and he looks down on ordinary people like Morley.
Looking down on him is looking down on him, and Viscount Orfe is able to show respect for him perfectly.
Morley was clearly very useful.
"The Aofei family and the Lanto family have been friendly for generations, generations of in-laws, the two of us still played together when we were young, and the friends who don't want the Lanto family to have an accident are none other than the Orphee family. Viscount Ofie said with a serious face and very sincerely.
"Well, what can I do about it? The old guy has been spoiling her. Morley sighed and said very unmotivated.
At the thought of Viscount Ranto's majestic countenance, Molly shuddered against his father, and oh my God, it was terrible.
It's really a waste, greedy for small profits and forgetful, doing big things and sparing their lives.
Wouldn't it be too foolish to put your hopes in such people?
Viscount Ao Fei sneered in his heart, but if this waste is used as much as possible, even if it fails to achieve the desired effect, the betrayal of the family members is enough to make the Lanto family very angry.
Then the other bloodthirsty beasts will be encouraged, and Viscount Ofie will be able to easily pull up the alliance.
"We hunted together when we were children, and you always remember to sacrifice your prey to the Viscount, to your most respected Viscount. β
"But Lord Viscount never remembered you, if it weren't for the grievances in resources, you should have marched into the gold realm like me and took charge of the entire family. β
Hearing this, Morley also showed a little eagerness, his playmate, who had long been the patriarch of the Aofei family, was one of the few great nobles in the southwest of the empire, and played a pivotal role.
He is indeed an ordinary swordsman, an ordinary knight, which makes people feel humiliated.
"But, but, my father's words. "Molly is mediocre and cowardly.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, my friend, you have to think about the future of your son and Rantoling. β
Not having enough power means not having enough resources, which means that the next generation will lose at the starting line.
Morley is a father no matter what.
"My friend, will the Orpheus family really support me?" Thinking of this, Morley finally looked like a nobleman.
"Of course, not only because we are friends, but also because as long as we join forces, who can stop us in the entire southwest?"
"This world is big, there is a lot of wealth and land, and the Orphee family has no idea about the Lanto family, as long as we join forces, we can win a better future for both families together. β
"And all this can only be done in your hands, you are fighting for the future of the Lanto family. β
For a mature nobleman like Viscount Aofei, no matter how shameless his behavior is, he can also find a very suitable reason.
Morley clearly needed such a reason to convince himself.
"Really, then why didn't the two families do that before?" asked Morley stupidly.
"Because the two of us are good friends, can others have a sincere friendship like us?" Viscount Ofie's expression was very good, and he almost laughed out loud in his heart, this pig is also worthy of being his friend?
"Yes, yes. We're friends. Morley repeated somewhat mechanically.
Just when other nobles meet, negotiate, and trade in various ways.
Norma, who was in Toposso, was very discouraged by rumors.
"What's the matter, daughter, aren't you upset to hear those rumors outside?" said Lady Dulcinea chuckled.
"No!" said Norma, who was lying on the desk, with emotion.
"Do you think Lynch has anything to do with Carlo?" asked Lady Dulcinea, touching her daughter's head.
"I don't know!" Norma buried her head.
"He's a smart guy who knows how to make trade-offs and knows how to advance and retreat. β
"Now these rumors just tell us that the city of Lanto is turbulent and unpredictable. β
"You have to believe in Him. β
"Does Mother believe in Father like that?" Norma asked as she didn't expect Lady Dulcinea to persuade her like this.
"Of course. β
