"Come in. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mephistopheles casually pulled the spread out "Family History" in front of him, posing as if he was working hard.

"Your Excellency. ”

Fawkes, who came through the door, respectfully saluted Mephistopheles, who was sitting at the desk, and was not at all perfunctory because the young man in front of him was only twelve years old.

"Fauber, sit. ”

Mephistopheles smiled at the old butler and nodded at him, motioning for him to sit across from him.

"No, the old servant just stands. ”

Fawkes was as respectful as ever, and since that incident, he had become more and more strict with his own etiquette.

"How is the old lady there, I heard that the people of the Deflo family don't seem to have much respect for their mother two days ago?"

Mephistopheles' voice was as calm as ever, but the old butler's heart trembled a little.

He knew that the Earl was not as harmless as he appeared to be, and that what was hidden under that modest smile was a means that were not inferior to those of the old nobles.

Although the old lady is the temporary lord, she does not hold on to the power and does not let go, in fact, most of the decisions of the territory come from the hands of the little earl.

Especially in these years, Count Cheno's territory has been well governed, and the old lady is even more relieved. Now, she basically stopped worrying about the affairs of the territory, and the entire Morte Territory only needed to follow the laws of the Earl.

In fact, all discerning people understand in their hearts that the reason why the old lady still occupies the position of lord is that he is afraid that if Count Nol has made any wrong decisions, it will affect his reputation in the future, and if the consequences are serious, it will even be detrimental to his future rule over the territory.

And if the lord is an old lady, she can bear all the mistakes alone at the critical time, and then smoothly hand over the title of lord to the Count of Cheno.

However, the old butler was very satisfied with the Earl in front of him, and in his opinion, who had served the patriarch of the Morte family for nearly four generations, Count Cheno, if not the best lord in the history of the Morte family, could still rank in the top three.

What is even more rare is that Count Cheno, as an adopted son, is extremely filial to his adoptive mother, which makes Fox, who is accustomed to seeing the struggle for power among nobles, very pleased.

"My lord is too worried, Young Master Connor did have a few quarrels with the old lady, but this did not affect the relationship between their sister and brother. ”

Connor was the youngest son of Earl Everley, and he had always had little respect for Ellu's eldest sister.

To be honest, Connor was much older than Cheno, but because Count Everet was still alive, he could only be called a young master, at least until his brother inherited the countdom.

And although Cheno's young age, he is already an earl, and it is a matter of course to be called "master" outside.

"Hmph, this guy won't give up on himself because he can't inherit the title, and come to disgust us, right?"

Mephistopheles's words showed not the slightest respect for his cheap uncle, as if he were just a pariah who had nothing to do with him. But the old housekeeper didn't make a fuss, because the rules among the nobles were like this, except for the immediate family, they always talked about their identity first, and then discussed the blood relationship according to their mood.

Not to mention Connor, even to meet the patriarch of the Morte branch and the uncle of the Earl of Bronck, Chenno must also hold up the count's shelf, otherwise others will think that he is not solemn enough as a "lord". Of course, if Taylor were to come back to life, it would be a different story.

"This ...... The adults are angry, after all, the old lady is ......"

Fawkes persuaded with a wry smile, although he was also very annoyed with the short-sighted Connor "Young Master".

After all, that guy actually quarreled with his own lord on the ground of the Morte family, obviously he didn't take the Morte family seriously, and this matter should be put in the hands of other lords, and it would be good to beat him up and expel him.

However, even if he was no longer upset with him, he now had to try to defend Connor in order to dispel the Earl's anger against that fellow.

He knew Count Cheno's methods, and if something really happened, the old lady was reluctant to punish her son, but she could still take him for the blame.

"Smack-"

Mephistopheles closed the book he had spread out years ago, "I know what you mean, don't worry, I won't meet a fool." Really, I didn't have the interest in reading at all. ”

"Uh...... The adults are angry. ”

The old butler didn't know what to say, it seemed that when he came yesterday, the book turned to that page?

"By the way, how is the investigation of the disappearance of the consuls?"

After finding a reason not to continue working hard, the Earl began to take care of business.

"There are no clues yet, and Knight Eno has led the guards to conduct a detailed search of the surrounding places where they can hide, but no trace of the thieves has been found. Therefore, we suspect that they may have received the news and fled to other places, after all, there have been no recent disappearances of the people. ”

"How long has it been since there have been reports of missing persons?"

"It's been a week since the Ino Knight led the search, and there has been no news on this for a week. ”

"A week? That should be about the same time......

"Huh, what do you mean ......?"

"Oh, it's fine. Did you bring the information I wanted? ”

"All the investigations and detailed records of the 'disappearance of the people' are here. With that, the old butler handed Mephistopheles the papers in his arms.

"Just leave it here, you go down first. ”

"Yes. ”

The old butler saluted and left, but his pace was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong. Mephistopheles asked.

"My lord, is there anything suspicious about this matter?"

"Why do you ask? ”

"It's okay, it's just that Knight Eno still has ...... there" Seeing the puzzled look of his own earl, the old butler reminded him.

"Oh, now that it's over, let him come back. ”

Hearing the old butler's reminder, Mephistopheles remembered that there was a poor knight who had been leading the team to run in the ice and snow for a week.

"Yes. ”

After the old butler left, Mephistopheles fell into deep thought, his index finger subconsciously tapped on the table, and his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Thieves? It's the first time I've heard that thieves will only take people and not property, not to mention, they can arrest women, what's the use of catching old people and children?"

With his words, a cold killing intent gradually arose in the small room: "That kind of rotten and depraved aura is not something that thieves can have, is it, friends from the lower worlds." ”

"You should be grateful to me, if I hadn't covered it up for you, these people who grew up listening to demonic legends would have found out that something was wrong. ”

"You don't need to give me any thanks, I've always been kind to others, as long as you give me your soul. ”
