Chapter 241: 'Smack! 'A slap (3/3)
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
The riverside castle of Dumont.
After everyone sat down, Dumont asked curiously, "Master Rosen, as far as I know, you shouldn't be in Crescent Moon Town now, why do you have time to come to my small place?" ”
As soon as he asked, Faeron also looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see the specific look in it.
Rosen had already figured out his rhetoric.
"I was originally talking to Lord Moro about cooperation. When I arrived, Lord Moreau was about to accompany his wife back to her mother's house, so I cheekily stopped by to visit Monsieur du Mont's town on the river. ”
Dumont smiled slightly, and raised his hand to stroke the thick gray beard that was very neatly built.
"Oh~ what do you think of my riverside town?"
Rosen clearly found that after seeing his action, Fei Lun's eyelids trembled slightly, and he seemed a little unhappy.
He just didn't see it, and smiled: "It's much more prosperous than I imagined, especially the confluence of the two rivers, the spectacle of clear and turbid, is even more impressive." ”
Hearing the compliment, Dumont was very happy, subconsciously stroked his beard again, and laughed.
"The scenery of the confluence of the two rivers is indeed very beautiful, but like the beautiful girl, whether it is the Amber River or the Yellow Water River, the temper is not very good, and in the late spring and early summer, it is very difficult."
Lawson laughed too.
"Madame Moreau has spoken to me about this. The flooding of the river during the flood season is indeed a headache, but the riverside town is still so prosperous, which shows that the old gentleman is a lord who loves his people very much. ”
Dumont listened with pleasure and laughed again.
"Haha~~ Master Lawson's mouth is really sweet, but what you said is not wrong, among the major lords of the Golden Land, I think I am still more generous and benevolent."
After a few brief conversations, the air in the inner hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone had a smile on their faces, except for Fei Ren.
Fei Lun leaned back lazily in his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face indifferent, his two hands lightly resting on the armrest, and his white fingers lit on the armrest.
No one could see what he really thought.
Dumont sensed the change in Faeron and thought that he didn't like Rosen, so he had the heart to say a few kind words for Rosen.
After all, everyone is a decent person, and if you don't deal with it off the field, you can't deal with it, as long as you don't completely tear your face, you still have to do enough work on the scene.
He said, "Master Faerun, I heard that you and Master Lawson once quarreled in private, and they had some festivals. ”
"If you want me to say, it's actually not a big deal, it's better for me to be an intermediary with me today, everyone."
"Shut up!"
Fei Lun said lightly, his eyes widened slightly, and there was a flash of incandescent light in his pupils.
Among the people present, except for Lawson and Vivian, they all felt an indescribable palpitation, so the smiles on their faces disappeared in an instant, and the atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became very solemn.
Baron Dumont smiled awkwardly and said, "If you want to, then it's nothing."
Faeron raised his hand to stop Dumont's words, turned his head to look at Rosen, and said indifferently: "Young man, don't beat around the bush. You must have come here for the trade road. ”
He directly told everyone what they knew.
Rosen had planned to talk to Dumont in private, but since he said it, he didn't hide it anymore.
Because this conflict has always been there, and sooner or later it will break out, so it is better to make it clear to face now.
He leaned back slightly in his chair, his legs folded and crossed Erlang's legs, his right hand casually resting on the staff of flowers, squinting at Faeron.
"Yes, I have come for the trade of trade, and I am going to buy supplies from the East, and I have heard that old Monsieur Dumont is troublesome to me about this."
Faeron snorted coldly: "Dumont's eldest daughter is the wife of Vopos, and he is Vopos's father-in-law. Even if you say it, he won't help you, so don't come here to find it. ”
After saying a long sentence in one breath, Rosen found that his voice had changed a little, originally thick and majestic, but now it was a little feminine, a bit like a eunuch on the earth.
Seeing that Fei Lun was high-spirited, he was pressing step by step.
Rosen directly raised this point as a counterattack to suppress the opponent's momentum.
"Master Feren, is your throat uncomfortable? Why do I hear your voice a little weird? ”
Fei Lun was waiting intently for Rosen's counterattack, and when he heard this, his heart was sudden, and his face suddenly looked a little unnatural, and most of his momentum was leaked at once.
He coughed lightly and scolded, "Master Lawson, I'm fine, I'm afraid you have a problem with your ears!" ”
Rosen smiled: "Is there something wrong with my ears, Master Faren himself knows in his heart." ”
"I want to remind you that breaking through the master's cliff at the expense of your own body is not a long-term thing."
"If there is really something wrong with your body, hurry up and find a way to treat it, don't run around outside, so as not to delay the best time for treatment, which will be irreparable in the future, and it is useless to regret it."
"Shut up!"
Feren screamed angrily, his emotions were a little out of control, and he suddenly forgot to cover up, so his voice became even more strange.
This time, everyone heard it.
Dumont kindly advised: "Master Faerun, maybe you should really go to the temple, your voice is really not quite right. ”
"Shut up!"
Fei Lun screamed, and his mana suddenly surged, turning into a mage's hand, and slapped Dumont abruptly.
'Smack! ’
A crisp sound echoed through the ornate hexagonal hall, and the left side of Dumont's face swelled at a visible rate, the corners of his mouth were fanned open, and a faint trace of blood oozed from his neat and thick beard.
Dumont is also a high-ranking warrior, and according to common sense, he will never be hit by the hands of a mage.
But he was in his own home, relaxed, and persuaded with good intentions, and he didn't expect the other party to suddenly hit him.
And Faeron is also an archmage after all, although he is only a 15-star archmage, but the casting speed is still amazingly fast.
For various reasons, Dumont, the master, was slapped in the face.
He was stunned for several seconds.
After a few seconds, Baron Dumont finally came to his senses.
He covered his swollen face with one hand, anger erupted from the bottom of his heart like a volcanic eruption, a ray of blue light appeared on his face, and his eyes glared at Faren viciously.
He is a high-level peak warrior, and he is also arrogant in his heart, how can he bear such humiliation?
"Faerun~ Are you crazy?!"
He kindly entertained the other party, but the other party actually slapped himself in his own home, and after being promoted to the archmage, he didn't have to worry about the laws of the world?
At the same time, Rosen was overjoyed in his heart: "Hey, Fei Lun has made a big deal now!"
After the joy, I was also slightly surprised.
He looked closely at Faeron and saw that he was extremely emotional, his face unusually distorted, and the green tendons at his temples jumped abruptly, showing a sign that his emotions were about to spiral out of control.
He immediately knew that the changes in Faren were not only physiological, but also psychologically unpredictable.
This change may be caused by medications, or it may be a physiological change that affects the psyche, or both.
Such a person can't over-stimulate his emotions, otherwise he will be completely out of control.
And a runaway 15-star archmage is a very, very terrifying existence, and if he really wants to launch a madness in this hexagonal hall, it will be a big melee with unpredictable consequences.
When the time comes, he and the two high-level samurai will fight against an archmage together, whether they win or lose, they will lose face, and they will be laughed at by ordinary people in the highlands.
After the news of this incident spread out of the Yellow Water Heights, even the earl would be disgraced.
Thinking so, he immediately spoke out to ease the atmosphere.
"The realm of the master is not the end, nor is it invincible."
"As a master, of course, you can gain the respect of others with the power of a master, but if you wantonly vent your power regardless of the rules of the world, there will naturally be stronger people who will disregard the rules of the world and vent your power at you!"
"Everyone here has a family, a loved one and a friend, we have it, and you have it."
"No one wants to erect a powerful enemy because of their temporary willfulness, causing their family to fall into an inexplicable crisis."
He didn't say Faerun's name, for fear of stimulating the dignity of the other party, but just said such a paragraph meaningfully.
When he had finished speaking, he was silent.
Faeron listened, and he slowly took a deep breath, his emotions gradually calming down.
"Dumont, I apologize to you, it's me who lost control of my emotions. As an apology, I will compensate you 2000 CZK. ”
That being said, Dumont's anger was half gone, but his hot cheeks still made him feel very aggrieved.
It's the first time he's been slapped so big, and he's slapped so hard.
When this news spreads, does he still want to lose his face?
Things got to this point, and Faren didn't have the heart to stay in the hexagonal hall anymore, got up and took a deep look at Lawson, turned around and left.
At this glance, Rosen knew that he was completely worried about the other party, and the way back to Crescent Town was afraid that it would not be easy to walk.
Because when in the open, the other party will be afraid of the rules, but in the dark, in the wilderness that no one can see, the archmage naturally has no taboos.
'Looks like I'm going to have to find a group of experts to accompany me back.' ’
And when this happened, the atmosphere in the hexagonal hall was still very depressing, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Suddenly, Vivian's voice sounded: "Mr. Dumont, I have a bottle of medicine here, which can quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain when applied to the sore area, do you want to give it a try?" ”
She opened a leather case with her and pulled out a bottle of potion.
Dumont's cheeks were still hot and uncomfortable, and he knew that Vivian's medicine was powerful, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Of course you have to try." ”
Vivien immediately took out the medicine bottle and used the hand of the scribe to gently apply the medicine to Dumont's cheek.
The medicine was transparent and colorless, and it would dry soon after it was applied, and then it would not be visible at all, and the effect was indeed very good, and the redness and swelling of Dumont's cheeks immediately subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye.
'Whew~~'
Du Meng exhaled: "This medicine is really good, it will be comfortable at once." ”
After speaking, he hated and scolded: "Fei Lun, this old thing, I'm afraid there is really something wrong with my brain!" ”
Lord Morrow nodded in agreement.
"There is Electrolux in front and Feron in the back, which makes people feel that the people of the Sano family will do whatever it takes to get on the throne. I am afraid that the future is not very clear. ”
The implication is that the future of the Sano family is not good, so the Vobos they support is naturally unreliable.
When Lena Delin saw her father being beaten, she was too frightened to speak, and when Feron left, she also scolded loudly.
"If he dares to repay the debt and not give the money, he will go to the earl and reason well!"
In the midst of all the chatter, this small turmoil gradually subsided.
Rosen continued to pick up the topic he had just interrupted: "Sir, I heard that you have been intercepting my cargo ship all this time, isn't that big?" ”
Dumont snorted, and he was not polite.
"Master Rosen, I'll tell you the truth, I promised the Earl that I would not stop you, but this is only for the highlands, and does not include foreign trade."
"Of course, you can buy supplies from the East to build Crescent Town, but don't even think about passing through me with the supplies you bought!"
"Your ship will either unload and go by land before entering my territory, but whether the land route can be passed depends on your ability."
The implication is that he will also send people to intercept him by land.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lawson could react, Lena Delin shouted.
"Father, you've gone too far. Could it be that the eldest sister is your daughter, and I'm not?! ”
As soon as he heard this, Rosen secretly rejoiced in his heart, knowing that Lena Delin had completely sided with Chapellet.
This sentence just now is the clarion call for war.
And with her joining, the difficulty of convincing Dumont to jump back has been greatly reduced.
Rosen secretly said in his heart: "Dumont, Dumont, I still have three axes next, see if you can catch it." ’
