Chapter 210: An Unexpected Jump at the Highland Lords' Meeting (4/4)
The next morning.
Coachman Joey drove the carriage to pick up Rosen home on time.
Vivien was refreshed, her cheeks flushed slightly like spring peach blossoms, and her eyes were as clear as an autumn lake.
She escorted Lawson all the way to the gate of the manor, and gently hung a crossbody bag on Lawson's shoulder, which contained a 10,000 kroner bank stub. Ahem, pay.
She smiled softly.
"Master Rosen, once again I was deeply shocked by your performance last night. I'm sorry right now, if only the first thing you had met when you first arrived at Silvermoon Castle would have been me. ”
Rosen's heart sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "Fate has no ifs, Vivian, missing is missing, there is no chance to make up for it!"
Vivien covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't bother your family."
She gestured to the cross-body purse again, "The potion inside is my proudest creation, I call it Vivien's Storm."
"After taking it, it can greatly increase your mana flow rate, allowing you to cast spells as violently and swiftly as a storm in the next half hour."
Rosen's heart moved: "Amazing." Are there any side effects? ”
"Absolutely. After the effect of the drug, there will be a boiling effect of thoughts for about an hour, similar to excessive meditation, and if you don't want to go wrong, you better get sleep right away. ”
"Oh~"
Rosen immediately gave up the idea of buying more potions from the other party.
Vivien assured softly.
"It is estimated that my brother will come to Silvermoon Fort soon. When the time comes, I will convince him to change his mind. ”
"Don't worry, my brother has listened to me since he was a child, and this time it will be the same. I'm sure I'll be able to convince him. ”
Rosen believed this very much, because this woman was a bit scary, and it was easy to make big things happen if she didn't listen to her.
He nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Lady Vivina." ”
Vivina smiled softer and took a step forward, reaching Rosen's ear.
"Master Rosen, even if my wish is granted, you can still come to me at any time. The doors of the Lily Manor are always open for you. ”
Rosen recalled the beautiful time last night, and secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, women of all ages have their own unique charm." ”
But this feeling of being fostered is really not good, so he tries to save a little face.
"If a child is born and you plan to train him to become a mage, then I will write him a spell book."
Vivien smiled slightly, and whispered in his ear again: "No problem, if you want, you can also give him the surname Filand." Of course, my personal preference is for him to have my last name. ”
"Or, we can have two, one with your last name and one with my last name."
Rosen immediately felt that for this woman with a bigger idea, he still had to provoke less, so as not to get into trouble that he couldn't get rid of.
"No, no, no, one is enough."
After saying that, Lawson climbed into the carriage as if he had fled.
Sitting in the carriage and looking back through the window, Vivien was still standing at the gate of the manor looking at him, as if sensing his gaze, and raised her hand to shake him.
It wasn't until she was out of sight that she walked back to the manor.
Thinking back to last night, it feels like a dream.
And just when Rosen returned to Sunshine Xiaozhu, the various lords of the Yellow Water Heights had already received the news and began to rush to Silvermoon Castle to participate in the emergency meeting held by the earl.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the various lords appeared at Silvermoon Castle.
But the meeting waited until 7 p.m. to actually start.
At 7 o'clock, the five lords and their clerks came to the large conference hall of Mochizuki Garden and sat down at the long table in the conference hall.
After a little more waiting, the Earl, dressed in full costume, arrived, and sat at the top, followed by the loyal chief of the housekeeping, Malkiri.
After the Earl appeared, the five lords stood up one after another, calling themselves 'Lord Earl'.
"Sit, sit down."
The Count himself went to the head of the table and sat down.
After everyone sat down, she coughed lightly and got straight to the point.
"The Courier has already told you all about the situation, and everyone is here today to discuss a plan to deal with the chaos in Crescent Town."
"At the moment I have two options."
"First, continue to let Fupos come forward to suppress the rebels in Crescent Town, pacify the rebels, and then resend the mayor and various clerks to continue to build Crescent Town."
"Second, let Shapole replace Fubos to solve the chaos in Crescent Town."
As she spoke, she looked at the five major lords and said in a condensed voice: "Crescent Moon Town is the northern barrier of the highlands, which is related to the safety of the entire highland, and is closely related to the interests of Silver Moon Castle and everyone. ”
"At the same time, because of the urgency of time, the situation is changing at any time, and we must come up with a reliable solution as soon as possible to calm people's minds."
"Now, then, let the lords express their thoughts."
The first is Fei Lun, the lord of Linhu Town, the largest town in Yellow Water, and the current president of the Mage Guild.
His momentum is obviously not as good as before, obviously only two days have passed, but the whole person looks much older, as if he has aged ten years at once.
"Shabolai is a prodigal bastard, notorious, and if such a person were to quell the rebellion in Crescent Town, the northern barrier of the Highlands would be as good as nothing."
"Vobos may have made mistakes, but he was always firmly in control of the army and always in control of the situation. There was a mistake this time, so I'll try to change it next time. ”
"So, I'm with Vappos."
The second to speak was Bilgu, the lord of Maple Leaf, the second largest town.
He was in good spirits and full of ambition, because he already knew that Electrolux had died violently.
He smiled coldly, and went toe-to-toe with Feron.
"Vopos may be a good army commander, but he is by no means a good lord!
"If it hadn't been for Xia Bolai who came forward in time to clean up the mess the day before yesterday, then the current Silver Moon Castle would definitely have become a sea of blood!"
And his so-called prodigal reputation is just that he likes girls. I would like to ask everyone here, who didn't like girls when they were young?! ”
Bilegu's gaze swept over the faces of the major lords one by one.
Sweep to Faeron first.
Faeron opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, because he really liked it, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many children as a mage.
As for the other lords, shrugging their shoulders and grinning, they were speechless to refute.
"So, it's not a big deal. Shapole has the mercy and forgiveness of a lord, and he will never be as cruel and ruthless as Vobos, let alone as incompetent as him! ”
"So, I support Shabolai!"
As soon as he said it, Hermid, the lord of Ash. Baron Lafonte nodded.
"Bilgu is not wrong about that."
"I would add that Chabolay is by no means short of courage. On the Moonlight battlefield, he rushed to the front, brought back the most comprehensive and specific battle report, and was seriously wounded. ”
"Anyone who has fought knows the importance of intelligence, so at least one-third of the credit for Fubo's victory should be given to Chabolai!"
But his tone changed again.
"However, Vaupos has been good in the past, and one mistake does not completely deny his ability."
"So, whoever the Earl chooses, I support it."
He still maintained a neutral stance, but his words were clearly biased in favor of Chapole.
In the end, there were Baron Morrow of the Lower Vale and Baron Dumont of Riverside.
Baron Dumont glanced at his son-in-law, Baron Morrow, who kept looking down at the table, which made Dumont feel a little puzzled.
He coughed lightly: "Vopos is my son-in-law, and I know the temper of this son-in-law best. He may have all kinds of shortcomings, but he knows his mistakes and corrects them. ”
"So, I'm with Vappos."
In this regard, everyone has nothing to say, anyway, no matter what Fubos does, Dumont will definitely support him as an old man.
In the end, only Baron Morrow of Fanggu Town was left without a statement.
Everyone's eyes were also on Mo Luo, the baron of Fanggu Town.
Moreau lowered his head, looked at his hands, and remained silent.
Fei Lun frowned slightly: "Mo Luo, haven't you thought about it yet?" ”
It stands to reason that Moreau must have supported Vupos, because he was the son-in-law of Baron Dumont and the brother-in-law of Vupos.
But his current hesitation makes people feel very bad.
Baron Dumont showed the majesty of his old man, and he raised his hand and slapped the table, urging with a loud voice.
"Bernard ~ Speak quickly!"
Bi Legu was overjoyed, and said with a light smile: "What are you urging?" ”
"Let's let Baron Morrow think about it, we don't lack such time."
Baron Morrow pondered for a full two minutes before finally speaking.
"I support Shapole."
Baron Dumont was shocked: "Bernard, are you worthy of your wife and children for such a choice?"
Baron Moro kept looking down at the table, and said sullenly: "Mr. Dumont, you are my father-in-law, but I am the lord of Fanggu Town, so I naturally have to consider the interests of Fanggu Town first."
Dumont became more and more puzzled: "Why, has supporting Voptos hurt your interests?"
"Yes."
"Why?!"
Baron Morrow took a deep breath: "Mr. Dumont, this is my family matter, don't ask."
Du Meng was shocked, and suddenly understood a little: "Your sister forced you?"
Baron Morrow was silent, and he acquiesced.
Dumont couldn't figure it out: "What is she doing with all this?"
Moreau looked up at his father-in-law and said softly, "She likes Rosen."
Dumont was stunned for a moment, then cursed in a low voice: "Oh, that's a crazy woman!"
Then he didn't say anything more.
Because he was fully aware of Vivien's power, that woman might not know how to do magic, but she could refine medicines, some strange but amazingly effective medicines.
He didn't dare to offend the other party to death, because maybe one day, he would have to rely on the medicine refined by the other party to save his life.
Seeing that everyone had already expressed his position, the Count coughed lightly and made a final summary.
"In that case, I'll say a few words."
"I am also very responsible for the incident in Crescent Town, because I have long found out the clues of the chaos, and I have repeatedly urged Fu Pos to respond."
"But my attitude was not resolute enough, and I was not quick enough to intervene, and I was too conniving and trusting of Vobos to cause such a disaster."
Therefore, Vaupos did not correct his mistakes, but did not change them! I didn't even take my words very seriously. ”
"Eventually, he messed things up!"
"Now, the townspeople of Crescent Town all hate him very much, and if he solves the problem, it will only get more and more chaotic."
"But Chabolais, on the contrary, has a very high reputation among the Crescent refugees, and he will definitely do more with less."
"So, I personally plan to leave the matter to Shabole, and in the lord's vote just now, at least half of the lords supported my decision."
As soon as these words came out, Baron Dumont in Riverside Town snorted coldly.
"Earl, you are the master of the Highlands, and you follow the traditions of the Highlands, so I support your decision."
"However, my riverside town will not give Shabolai any support, at most it can only be out of the way."
It's true that Vobos didn't do a good job in Crescent Town, and Shapole did a very good job this time, so there is nothing wrong with the count's words.
Dumont didn't expect Vobos to clean up the mess, and he supported Vouchos by telling the Count not to let her easily strip Vupos of his inheritance.
The Count nodded at him, "Thank you for your understanding, Baron Dumont."
Dumont also nodded in return salute to the Count.
As soon as he said this, Fallon also began to express his position.
He looked reluctant: "My attitude is the same as that of Baron Dumont." ”
The Count looked at him with a sneer on his face.
"Master Feren, please pay attention. That is, you are not the lord of Lakeside Town yet! ”
"According to de jure, the first heir of the Baron of Lake Town is Electrolux's eldest son, Lytley. Sarno. ”
"Therefore, it is actually illegal for you to come to this meeting on behalf of Linhu Town today!"
Fei Lun had already prepared and immediately took out a document.
"Earl, Lightley has issued a statement and took the initiative to modify the succession of the next baron to the succession of the next baron."
"So, I am indeed the new lord of Linhu Town."
The Count shook his head: "This statement is invalid, because I don't admit it!" ”
Faeron's face turned pale: "Lord, do you insist on changing the highland tradition and interfering with the succession of titles within my Sano family?" ”
"I have a lot of respect for the Highlands, and the reason why I want to interfere is because you don't have the consciousness of the Highland Lords."
"In the past six months, I have discovered that you have been secretly inciting a rebellion in Crescent Town, which has directly damaged the interests of the entire Highland!"
"You are at least half responsible for the current situation in Crescent Town!"
"So, unless you admit your mistake and make full compensation, I will never agree to you becoming the new baron!"
Faerun's face turned pale: "Earl, you are slandering. ”
"Do you slander you in your heart, and the major lords also know it in their hearts."
"If you continue to have this attitude, I will fully support Electrolux's eldest son to become the baron of Lakeside!"
As soon as these words came out, Faeron's face turned pale.
He could indeed subdue the rest of the family with his powerful magical power and forcibly become a baron.
But if the Count supports his nephew to become a baron, then he can split the united Sano family in half at once!
A family with scattered infighting has no future at all.
What's even more terrifying is that after losing his eldest brother, Fallon has no way to counter the earl.
Bi Legu smiled: "Faerun, admit punishment if you make a mistake, this is the rule of our highlanders, there is no shame." ”
The Lord of the Ashes, Baron Lafunger, also laughed mockingly.
"Faeron, the highlands are such a big place, whether you do it or not, we all know it in our hearts. I didn't say it before, but it was just to see the face of Master Electrolux. But please be self-conscious. ”
Baron Moreau also came to life, and said with a light smile: "Faeron, you are really hypocritical, supporting Fupos while doing bad things for him!"
Baron Dumont was silent.
He was actually very unhappy in his heart, but considering that Faren also supported Fubos, he did not speak ill of him.
Faeron's face was pale, almost transparent.
After a long time, he let out a long breath: "Okay, I admit my mistake, and I will give full compensation for the subsequent construction costs of Crescent Town." ”
But then he said, "But I'm sorry for Vobos."
The Count raised his hand to interrupt him.
"No, you're sorry for the Omixia family. You only need to lose money, as for how to distribute the compensation, it has nothing to do with you! ”
As she spoke, she stared at Faren tightly, a cold light in her eyes.
This is a silent threat, the meaning is obvious, and if the bargain continues, the baron of Linhu Town will really be gone.
Feron received this silent message and exhaled lightly: "Earl, you are right, I will pay the compensation to your family. ”
"Good."
The Earl nodded: "Since you admit your mistake, then I also admit that you are the new baron of Linhu Town." As for the specific compensation matters, we will discuss them in detail in due course. ”
After saying that, the matter of Chapole was decided.
The Earl clapped his hands and said, "Then, let's get here today first, and everyone will go and rest first." We'll talk about our support for Crescent tomorrow in detail. ”
After saying this, she looked at Fei Lun again: "President Fei Lun will stay for a while, I have something to say to you in private." ”
Feren's heart suddenly dawned, knowing that the Count was going to settle accounts with him.
But this thing can't be avoided, and it's a knife to stretch out and shrink your head, so you can only wait hard.
