Chapter 408: Weakness

It turned out that Kraft had come to collect debts and make trouble in order to get an ancestral vase of the Osedon family.

Two hundred years ago, before the Oseidons were in decline, there was a patriarch who was very fond of collecting all kinds of expensive vases. After his death, hundreds of vase collections were handed down for the family. When the Oseidons began to decline, these precious vases became one of the financial sources of the Osedon family. Over the past 100 years, hundreds of vases have been sold and pawned, and only a few remain.

The Osedon family would often sell some ancestral items for money, which was well known in the city of Far. As a result, almost all businessmen will join forces to buy what the Oseidons family sells at a lower price.

As for the people of the Osedon family, they have done a lot of selling ancestral things to support their lives, and they have long lost their sense of shame, and in the past hundred years, almost every patriarch and clansman has done it countless times. They may feel sad, but under the pressure of life, they have to do these things again and again that are not worthy of their ancestors.

After hundreds of years of decline, the ancestral things of the Osedon family have almost dried up, except for the ancestral house and a nearby field, all other industrial fields have long been handed over to others, and there is not much left in the ancestral house with a little value, I believe that in a year or two, this huge manor is only an empty shelf. In fact, the people of the Osedon family are all good people, and in the past hundred years, there have been almost no incompetent and wasteful people, all of them are diligent and thrifty people, so although these people are also unfilial descendants who sold their ancestral property. But in contrast, they were able to control the number of sales and did not lose all at once. Otherwise, no matter how big the Osedon family is, no matter how many ancestral things there are, it is impossible to sell them for hundreds of years without being sold out.

Hearing that Kraft asked for his family's vase, Fairly's face was not more angry, but more sad. She froze and stood still. It was as if he wanted to cry, but he forced himself to hold back and not let tears fall from his moist eyes.

Gradually. From Fieldly, you can feel a strong sense of tiredness and powerlessness.

"Uncle Abermoto, please go get a vase and come out." A moment later. Fairly said slowly, turning her head.

"Miss." Aberdeen was about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Fairly's shake of his head, and then Aberdeen turned around and walked through the door.

For a moment, Fairly had a self-defeating thought, since she was born, the family had been in decline for a long time, and when she was young, with her father in front, she was still able to live freely. But as she got older. And her father's health deteriorated and he became more and more careless, so she had to stand up and do something for the family. Unexpectedly, the situation of the family could not allow her to do anything at all, and she still had to keep taking out ancestral things to sell. to maintain the daily life of the family.

Originally, Philley asked Kraft to come back in a few days, just to take a vase to sell for money to turnover, but at this moment Kraft directly said that she wanted a vase, and she suddenly didn't want to sell the vase, and wanted to give the vase directly to Kraft. Send Kraft away.

In this way, everyone stood at the door and waited for Steward Aberdeen to fetch the vase. Fieldly looked sad and seemed exhausted, unable to even stand on her feet. The leader of Sharpe and the other guards were angry, but they had experienced these things many times, and they would not do anything but anger.

In contrast, Kraft on the other side was triumphant, and he was very happy to be able to get a vase for his family. As for offending the Osedon family for this, he didn't care at all, like most people in Farr City, he didn't think it was a big deal to offend the Osedon family.

After a while, Aberdeen butler came out with a small vase in his arms, the vase is not big, more than a foot high, and the style is also very ordinary, but the vase is also carved with very exquisite and detailed patterns, coupled with the simple atmosphere of the whole vase, people can feel the extraordinary value of the vase at first sight.

Butler Aberdeen walked up to Fairly, did not speak, did not give the vase to Fairly, but looked at Fairly with a very reluctant look.

Philley looked at the time of the vase for ten breaths, sighed and said, "Uncle Aberdeen, give him the vase." ”

Before Aberdeen could make a move, Kraft hurried forward and reached out to snatch the vase from Aberdeen's arms.

"Wait." Steward Aberdeen took a step back and hugged the vase in his arms tighter, "This vase is worth at least a thousand gold coins, you can give it to you, but you have to pay us back five hundred gold coins." ”

"Haha......" Kraft said as he laughed, "Joke, how can you Osedon's things be sold for a thousand gold coins, and now I buy it for five hundred gold coins, which is already a very high price." ”

Indeed, the Osedon family's decline to selling ancestral heirlooms is already notorious in Far, and whoever they are wants to take advantage of the fire and lower the price to reap a profit from the Osedon family. The Oseidons, who were in a difficult situation, had to endure such exploitation in order to maintain their daily living expenses.

Subsequently, Aberdeen's housekeeper still didn't give it, and Kraft, who had already started to grab it, couldn't grab it, only to see Kraft keep shouting: "Hurry up and give it to me, if you don't give it to me again, I'll increase the price." ”

After a few moments, Fairie couldn't stand it anymore, or maybe she couldn't hold on anymore. I saw her whisper: "Uncle Aberdeen, give her the vase." There was a strong sense of tiredness in Fairly's words, like an old man who was tired of life.

"Here you go!" Steward Aberdeen shoved the vase into Kraft's hand and yelled viciously, at this moment, if he had the ability, he might give Kraft a sword and kill the other party with a fierce breath.

Kraft didn't care about Aberdeen's housekeeper's eyes, he took the vase with a smile and looked at it closely, and then a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Bring the IOU!" Steward Aberdeen roared again, and immediately snatched the IOU from the other party's hand, tore his hands into pieces, threw it on the ground hard, and stepped on it a few times with hatred.

"Let's go!" Seeing Aberdeen's behavior, Kraft laughed, greeted his swordsmen, and left satisfied. In the blink of an eye, Fieldly and everyone stood in place full of grief, watching the lively Ryan and Katisha.

Ryan watched the whole process in his eyes, did not step forward to interfere, did not step forward to solve the siege, and let the incident develop. In fact, if Ryan helps, it is very simple, whether it is to take out gold coins to pay off debts, or to use force to drive away Kraft and others, it is a matter of effort for Ryan. But Ryan had no intention of making a move at all, and the purpose was naturally to see the current situation of the Ossedon family.

Rui An's was a little disappointed, Philley took the vase to pay off the debt, but Ryan didn't think there was a problem, and it was natural to repay the debt. Ryan was disappointed by the attitude of Fieldey and the others, who were too weak. Faced with the humiliation of an ordinary person, and a person who didn't have much identity, Fairly and the others were indifferent, not only did not teach each other a lesson, but also endured it silently without the slightest action.

Weak strength and the decline of the family are not big problems, but the weakness in the heart is the fatal wound. Fairly was a young girl, weaker, and no one to blame. The weakness of Steward Aberdeen and Sharp's guards is also understandable because of their different identities. However, from the performance of these people, it can be inferred that their patriarch was also an equally weak person. Otherwise, a patriarch who has a strong heart and acts tough will never allow the people of the family to be so weak.

For a time, Rui An's heart was camp. Osedon felt a pang of sorrow.

After Kraft and the others left, Fairly and the others turned their eyes to Ryan and Katisha, who were looking at each other with doubt, as if they didn't know how to respond.

After a few moments, Ryan adjusted his mood and walked forward with Katisha. At this moment, although he was full of disappointment in the Ossedon family, he still had to face it, and when necessary, he still had to help the other party.

"Your Excellency, may I ask you something?" Steward Aberdeen spoke. Obviously, Sharpe is a man of few words, and Fairly is a young lady of the family, so he can only come forward to interrogate.

"I want to meet the patriarch of your family." The disappointment in Rui An's heart made his tone of voice a little direct and a little rude.

Sure enough, Fairly and the others were stunned for a moment, thinking that Ryan was someone with bad intentions, and they kept looking at Ryan and Katisha, but except for Ryan's cold tone, they didn't feel any hostility between the two.

"May I ask you what is the matter with my father?" Fairly asked suddenly, her tone wary.

Ryan immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he adjusted his mood again, and said in a softer tone: "Hello, Miss Fairly, we are from the Odoley Empire, and we were entrusted to bring a message to the patriarch of your family halfway. ”

Suddenly, Fieldie was a little surprised, she thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, my father is not feeling well, it is inconvenient to meet guests, can you tell me the message, let me pass it on to my father?" ”

Depending on the situation, Fairly is still a little wary of Ryan and doesn't seem to want Ryan to enter the manor.

Ryan was also stunned, compared to the weakness when facing Kraft's debt collection before, Fieldey was not so weak at this moment. However, Ryan didn't want to tell the message to the other party now, because looking at Fieldly's current posture, it seemed that once Ryan told the message, he wanted Ryan to leave. However, Ryan can't leave easily, his purpose is to stay in the Ossedon family's manor, and bringing a message is just an opportunity for Ryan to contact the Ossedon family.

I saw Ryan think for a while, shook his head and said, "I think it's better for me to tell your father personally, because this message is about your family's Frank. Ossaidon's. ”

Suddenly, Fieldie's body shook like an electric shock. (To be continued.) )
