Brian and Lillian boarded a regular passenger ship from Machine City to Aegis City, recently many humans are willing to move to the rebuilding Machine City because of their love for the scenery of Lake Lowe, of course, there is no shortage of speculative businessmen, planning to speculate on the lakeside real estate.

"Byron, I haven't seen you in a long time, why don't you start a fruit business and come to do real estate?" said Brian.

Byron and a few small merchants had seen Mr. and Mrs. Brian, and had already saluted on board, but not expecting the king to call him, hurried over to him flattered, and stood a little bewildered.

"Sit down, sit down, drink some black tea. Brian didn't have a stand, and Lillian poured Byron a glass of water.

"How dare you, how dare you let Madame pour tea for me. Byron was at a loss.

"Relax Byron, I think when I was a sheriff adjutant, I also took fruit from your stall and didn't give me money, and you called me a gray-skinned bandit (security officers usually wear gray uniforms), right?" Brian originally wanted to recount the past to make Byron not too nervous, "It's boring to be too restrained now." ”

"Your Excellency the King, spare your life!" Byron knelt down, "The villain definitely didn't scold you back then." ”

"I'll go, it seems that the law is still not deep enough in the hearts of the people, and I can't kill you casually, what do you shout for mercy?" Brian helped Byron up, "Don't cry, drink tea." ”

Brian felt bored and didn't want to talk to Byron anymore, most of Toby Town knew him, and when there was nothing serious, everyone was very casual, no matter how big an official he was, it always was. "I ask you, what are you doing in Machine City?"

"Buy a house. ”

"Are you moving here?"

"No, the villain is just...... It's just ...... "Byron didn't dare to lie, and it was hard to tell the truth."

"It's just what, hurry up, I have a sore bladder when I talk to you. Brian aired.

"Poof" the tea in Lilian's mouth squirted out.

"The villain just wants to buy a lakeside residence, and when the price rises in the future, sell it at a good price and make some money. ”

"I know, you go, go to your friend, the next time you see any official, don't look like this, they haven't felt anything different, they haven't been used to being like this, and they won't have their nostrils in the sky in the future?" said Brian and waved his hand to let Byron leave.

"I think this matter, I should discuss it with Adra, control the price of the house, and not just let the rich people coax it up, otherwise the poor will have no place to live in the future. Brian thought with a frown.

"I don't understand, maybe this is some kind of law, of course a good place and a house are more expensive. Lillian shrugged her shoulders, "Besides, how can there be real poor people under your rule?"

"It can't be ridiculously expensive, if no one can afford it, won't it end up as an empty house?"

It only took half a day to go down the river and reach Aegis City, Brian asked Lilian to go home first, and he went to the construction headquarters to find Adela and put forward his own suggestions. While he was talking, Lillian suddenly hurried over and whispered a few words to Brian, and the Mist King's face suddenly changed color, and he explained a few words to Adela and got into the carriage and returned to his residence.

"Mom, what's wrong with Congreve, I'm not well, how come I don't know?" asked Brian eagerly.

"He's been in poor health lately, but you're too busy to tell you, and now it's getting worse, I think you'd better spend some time with your father. Doreen couldn't hide her grief and burst into tears.

"Didn't you call the medical officer to come and see it?"

"Of course they have been, they come every day to release healing, but your father's illness does not seem to be solved by healing. ”

Brian pushed open the door and Lillian walked softly into his parents' bedroom, where he saw his father, Old Congreve, who had been in good spirits last year, and now had a sallow and thin face.

Congreeve, who had been groggy all the time, did not fall asleep, and when he saw his son and daughter-in-law coming in, he struggled to open his eyes, stretched out a hand, and grabbed Brian.

"Little Brian. Congreve rubbed the back of his son's hand, which Brian had called him years ago when he was a child.

Brian's nose was sore, and he tried not to let the tears flow, he was afraid that this would cause his father to be more suspicious, so he smiled and said: "Old Congreeve, you have to cheer up, there are so many fish in the Mausai River that they have jumped to the shore recently, and if you don't go fishing, it will be terrible, those old men have robbed them all." ”

"I ...... I'm guilty. But Congeve said that.

"Father, you are not guilty, don't be cranky, I will find a way to make you better. Brian advised.

"I'm guilty, you're guilty, we've all forsaken the goddess of wisdom, it's God's punishment, I only hope that it's enough for the goddess to punish me alone. Congreve coughed a few times, his eyes closed, he saw his son and wanted to sleep a little.

"I think it's necessary to have a goblin doctor come and see, goblin medicine is much more advanced than humans. Brian said, he had long banned the so-called church hospital in his fiefdom, those so-called bloodletting and **** surgery, where is the treatment, it is simply to make people die quickly.

"Your father just doesn't agree, he doesn't let the goblins touch his body. Doreen said anxiously, "This old stubborn believes in the church, and he says that if he can eat a little of the holy oil given by the goddess now, he will definitely get better." ”

"Isn't the holy oil just the residue of the oil lamp after it has been burned, and can that thing be good if you eat it?" Brian rubbed his hands in frustration.

"Father's heart disease, Brian, I suggest you set up a small prayer room for him at home, and then ......," Lillian whispered to Brian.

"Hey, that's a great idea. "Brian was happy.

"Hmph, what's there you can't let your mother know?" said Doreen, expressing her displeasure.

"I'm afraid you'll show your stuffing, Mom, you'd better cook more delicious food for Congreve, and I'll go and explain his illness. Brian hurriedly took Lilian and rushed out of the room.

"This kid, can you be reliable? ”

The king's carriage drove to the goblin quarters, and stopped in front of a goblin clinic, where the goblin doctor's door was now bustling, and many humans and dwarves had come to see them, and they no longer believed in the evil healing skills of their own race.

When the people saw the king coming, they saluted, and the goblin healer hurried out to inquire about the situation, and it was clear that the king himself had come, and there must be some important people in need of treatment.

"It's okay, you're busy first, I'll wait here, Dr. Bobby, I'll talk to you when you're done. Brian politely returned the favor. (To be continued.) )
