Looking at his daughter's appearance, Carlo wanted to reprimand, but looking at his daughter's appearance, he could only sigh in the end, and then said: "Come here." ”

Dana breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with a smile.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

Seeing her daughter sitting at the dining table, Carlo smiled and laughed at herself: "As you can see, my situation here is a bit bad. ”

"What happened before?"

Adimu looked around and asked, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. ”

Earlier, the predecessor received news that the predecessor's father had died half a year ago.

Considering the distance between the two places, plus the time it takes to go back and forth, this matter may have been a year or two away from now.

But even so, Carlo shouldn't be in such a bad situation.

After all, he was not the same as Artimus.

Carlo was the most capable of his many brothers, and had the best relationship with him in the past.

At the roar of their father, Carlo should succeed Baron Promise and become the patriarch of the family.

But judging from the results, it seems that this is not the case at all.

That's interesting.

Needless to say, there must be many other changes in this.

Artimu looked around, looked at the appearance of Carlo in front of him, and didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Carlo to say it himself.

Carlo sighed and began to speak slowly.

To put it simply, it was a simple seizure of power.

The father of the predecessor and Carlo, the old Baron Nock, not only had many children, but also several younger brothers.

This time it was one of the younger brothers who did it.

After the death of the old Baron Nock, his younger brother suddenly returned, seized the title of Baron Nock by a series of means, and became the new Baron Nock.

It was originally a difficult thing to snatch the title that originally belonged to someone else's child, but he did it by himself.

In addition to the fact that Baron Nock died too suddenly and did not prepare for anything, other factors were also complicated.

"He spent a lot of money and bribed the assistants around Count Tann."

Carlo smiled bitterly and probably mentioned this.

Yatemu understood immediately.

Earl Tann, this is the governor of this area, theoretically speaking, the succession of local nobles such as Baron Nock is arranged by top nobles such as Earl Tann.

Therefore, if someone can make Count Tann's mind change and lean a little, then it will naturally have an effect.

"In order to buy off the assistants at the side of the Earl of Tann, he spent a lot of money, and did not hesitate to borrow from many merchants."

Carlo began: "This is money that he cannot afford to pay back, so when he becomes a baron, he will sell off many of his family's estates and plug his hole." ”

That's why the Nock family has become like this.

As for the situation of Carlo and the others, there is no need to say more.

In the past, when Baron Nock was around, they were naturally treated the best.

But now, with the younger brother of the old Baron Nock on the throne, how can they still live well?

Artimu had no doubt that if it weren't for the inconvenience, the current Baron Nock would probably want to kill Carlo and the others directly.

He shook his head, then continued, "What about Sister Hani?" ”

"She's married, but I've heard that it's not very good."

Carlo thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Yes."

Yadimu nodded, but there was not so much emotion between his eyebrows.

Hani is the older sister of the predecessor, and one of the few children of Baron Nock Sr. has a good relationship with the predecessor.

Of course, that's just on the surface.

According to Carlo, Hani had been married a few years before the death of Baron Nork Sr.

Her husband was a wealthy local businessman, but it was said that he was not very good to her.

This was especially evident after the death of Baron Nock the Elder.

Carlo sighed as he spoke, observing Artimu's reaction.

Born in such an aristocratic family, he is naturally not a fool, but the advantage occupied by the other party is too great, so that he does not have the slightest power to parry.

Originally, he was already planning to accept his fate and stop thinking about some messy things.

But now, the arrival of Yadimu has rekindled some hope in his heart.

In any case, Artimus is his brother, and he is also a mysterious and powerful wizard, so he will definitely help him, right?

After all, at the beginning, the relationship between them was the best.

Bang! Bang!

As thoughts flashed through Carlo's mind, there was a dull tapping sound outside.

A sound of terror was heard.

Artimus turned, looking in the direction of the gate.

It had been forcibly pried open at the moment.

Yadimu couldn't help but frown.

Two figures walked out.

"You're the outsider who calls himself Mr. Roland?"

The leader of the two was a sturdy middle-aged man, wearing leather armor and a grim expression on his face, which was not an ordinary commodity at first glance.

He looked at Yadimu: "Mr. Marven, please come over." ”

"Roland."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Carlo couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously looked at Yadimu on the side.

The fear of this man could be seen in his performance.

Artimu looked at Carlo, looking at his subconscious reaction, and was silent for a moment before getting up: "Lead the way." ”

"Aren't you going to take me to Mr. Marven?"

He looked at the person in front of him: "I'll just go with you." ”

"Roland."

Looking at Artimu, Carlo couldn't help but speak: "Be careful"

"Well, I understand."

Adim nodded, waved his hand indifferently, and walked forward.

"My brother's child has returned."

In the spacious hall, Baron Marven looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Cora, are you confident to deal with it?" ”

Standing in front of Baron Marven was a middle-aged woman.

The woman was wearing a long red robe, and her overall dress looked a little conservative and mysterious, but she was quite old in terms of appearance.

She stood in front of Baron Marven and smiled at Baron Marven: "It's just a second-class apprentice, it is estimated that he has not even mastered a serious spell, and it is not a threat at all." ”

"I don't know how many white mages from this academy have been killed."

She stood there, looking confident.

Looking at her reaction, Baron Marven was a little relieved.

The middle-aged woman in front of her was also a mage, and she was a third-class mage apprentice.

As a member of the Nok family, Baron Marven had already considered the hidden danger of Artimu when he seized the title.

So before, when he sold the Nock family business, he deliberately left a large amount of money.

This money is either used for anything else or to deal with Roland. Nock, the second-class mage's apprentice.

For Marven, only by solving this nephew can he really take everything that belongs to his brother.

Otherwise, even if he died, he probably wouldn't be at ease.

God knows when the other party will come back, kill all his children, and take away the title of the Nock family again.

And now, that's how the money is being spent.

"Are you sure he's a second-class apprentice?"

Looking at Baron Marvin in front of her, Cora asked.

"I'm sure."

Baron Marven smiled: "In the entire Nock family, all the letters exchanged with him in the past are with me, and I can easily judge it. ”

"Otherwise, how could I have known that he was back at this time?"

Baron Marven had long known that Artimu was coming back at this time.

Because after he took charge of the entire family, he mastered the way the Nock family communicated with the predecessor of Artimu, so that all the letters sent by the predecessor were known to him.

Even Carlo didn't know the news.

It was precisely because of these news that Baron Marven knew that Artimu would come back during this time period, and he could also deal with it in time, and deliberately hired a third-class apprentice to come over.

In order to solve the problem of Yadimu at one time and eliminate all hidden dangers.

"Besides, if he's really a third-class apprentice, then what are you going to do with coming back?"

Baron Marven said again, sneering: "If he is really a third-class apprentice, he doesn't even need to snatch the title of this baron, he can become a nobleman himself." ”

The status of a mage is very high, and a third-class apprentice can indeed easily obtain the title of a baron if he is willing.

Cora thought for a moment, and thought it was.

However, out of professional habits, she still opened her mouth to remind: "I must remind you that what you give me is only enough to make a move once, and if the other party's strength exceeds the range of information you provide, then I will leave immediately." ”

"What you gave is not enough for me to offend a mage of the same level"

"I say that, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood."

Baron Marven accompanied him with a smiling face: "I know all the rules." ”

"If that doesn't work, you can just leave."

"Hmm."

Cora's face was cold and she nodded faintly.

After a few moments, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The figure of Artimus appeared at the end of their line of sight.

"This is your nephew?"

Cora looked at Artimu in front of her and couldn't help but nodded: "It looks pretty good." ”

"I just don't know what the strength is."

Baron Marven didn't speak, but a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"You're Marven. Nork? ”

A voice came from ahead.

Yadimu walked to the front and looked at Marven in front of him.

Nominally, Marvin should be his uncle.

But it's a pity that the predecessor has not been in this area for a long time, except for a few people such as Carlo, even some of his brothers don't know, let alone Marven's uncle.

Including the memories of his predecessor, it was also the first time he had met this uncle.

"Yes, it's me."

Marven nodded, just about to say something.

"Okay, that's right."

With a loud sound, the terrifying mana began to vibrate.
