Chapter 49 Interests
(The second watch came, begging for clicks, asking for tickets, and asking for collections, but I was blown up by the brush, and I was a little depressed)
The next day, the citizens of Mora were horrified by the shocking news that Count Carter, the ruler of Mora, had died.
The rumor in the market is that yesterday a group of robber cavalry stormed the Garro manor where Count Carter was located, and not only robbed all the property, but also killed all the people who could see it, whether it was the old man or the child, except for a few members of the Garro family who were temporarily out of business, and none of the rest of the manor at that time ran away. Later, these robbers set a fire and burned down this manor in the north, which is famous for the beauty of Naxi flowers.
Some of the people who knew the relatively accurate news did not speak, but waited for the movement of the noble council of Mora City. Strange to say, the case of the destruction of Earl Carter's family can be said to have caused an earthquake in the whole of Jobnard County, but no one in the noble council brought it up, as if it had never happened.
A strange atmosphere spreads among the nobility of Mora City, and everyone is watching to see what happens next.
......
On the meadow, the vast expanse of emerald green was covered with brown bloodstains, and the smell of blood, burnt smell and the scent of Naxi flowers mixed into a very peculiar smell, which drifted far away with the wind.
On the edge of the manor, on the earthy yellow road, a white carriage came slowly from far and near.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Garro estate, the original beautifully carved iron gate had fallen to the ground, and it looked very dilapidated with potholes on it.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a middle-aged man with brown hair, with a mustache and neatly combed hair, looking like an upper-class person.
A gust of wind blew, bringing up a petal that happened to fly into the window of the car that was lifted by the middle-aged man.
A hand suddenly stretched out, grasped the petal, and gently opened it, and the unique pink petals of the Naxi flower appeared in front of him, but this petal was stained with a little blood, and it did not turn brown and dark like other dried blood stains, but was extremely bright, making this petal even more delicate.
Holding the hand holding the flower out of the window, the petals fell to the ground, and just as another gust of wind passed by, the petals flipped and flew far away, out of the sight of the people in the carriage.
The man holding the flower sticks his head out of the window, and if Gehr is there, he will recognize him as Tavren's assistant, Vararian, with whom he dealt with the affairs of Garro Manor yesterday.
Vararian stared at the place where the petals disappeared for a long time, and thoughtfully looked at the palm that still had the delicate touch of the petals, before turning his head to look at the middle-aged man: "Lord Viscount, let's go down and have a look." ”
"Yes. The middle-aged man, known as the Viscount, nodded, and asked the groom to open the door and get out of the carriage.
Valerian then got out of the car, and without stopping, walked directly through the gate of the manor, which had no protective effect.
The first thing I saw when I entered the gate was the blackened buildings in the center of the manor, and as soon as the wind blew, I saw black ashes dancing wildly, and the crumbling ruins began to shake with them, as if dancing a dance called death.
The Viscount followed in, and also saw that what could be said to be the most beautiful building complex in Mora City had become like this, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again to express his lamentation.
"My lord, come here. ”
Vararian took a few steps forward and came to a spear stuck in the ground, the tip of the spear was pierced with a human head, the viscount walked over, carefully looked at the head for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sad expression: "I know, he is the Earl of Carter, I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"
But in the eyes of the shrewd Valarian, the joy in the eyes of this viscount could not be hidden. I guess I was so happy that I suddenly forgot the words to express my grief.
"Yes, I didn't expect the Earl to go like that, hey, in the future, the county of Yoberna will depend on you, Viscount Avis. Valerian took over, lest the viscount be too embarrassed.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”
Seeing a sentence or two, Viscount Avis smiled, there was no city government at all, and Walari couldn't help but curse secretly: "Waste, no wonder he was crushed to death by Earl Carter, and he could only be a nominal and powerless deputy speaker in the noble council." ”
However, Valerian didn't show anything on his face, just pointed to a sign next to the spear: "You see, this is a declaration of revenge left by the Colbenson family." ”
Ives leaned over to take a look, and the sign listed the reason for the Colburnsons' revenge on the Garro family. Looking up, there was such a similar sign about a few tens of meters away, and it was estimated that it was the same thing.
"Although the Garro family is at fault, it should not be reduced to this, and the Colbenson family, as a meritorious family in the fight against the barbarians, although they have done such a big wrongdoing, I don't think it should be a hasty execution of Colbenson, I will propose at the noble council in three days, and submit the whole matter to the royal family for arbitration, so as to give this vicious incident a perfect solution.
In order to avoid this tragedy again and propose that there be disputes over similar incidents in the future and to respond in a timely manner, an arbitration and coordination committee composed of the royal family and the nobles of the county of Joberna should be established to maintain the order of the nobles of the county of Joberna. ”
"Prince Fajellino is also deeply disturbed by what is happening in the county of Jobena, especially now that the chaos caused by the loss of the leader of the Council of Nobles of the county of Joberna is not what His Majesty the King wants to see, so I hope that the viscount will take up this burden to ensure the stability of the county of Joberna. ”
Without saying anything else, Viscount Avis and Valerian looked at each other and smiled, the meaning was already there.
After the conditions were exchanged, the two walked around the manor for a while, Valerian said that he had something to deal with and said goodbye first, and Viscount Evis generously said that there was no problem, and he continued to stay in the manor for a while.
After Valerian left, Viscount Evis returned to the spear that skewered Count Carter, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"It smells so good. ”
At this time, Viscount Avis was completely different from the expression he had shown in front of Valerian before, and his whole person had a pathology that was close to excitement.
Opening his eyes, Viscount Avis stared at Earl Carter's still surprised face for a long time, reached out and touched the pale and almost clear face, and laughed softly: "I got what I wanted, what about you......"
The laughter was eerily low, echoing through the silent manor.
......
June, summer, and winter are in full bloom.
The sun is strong, but due to the generally dry air in the north and the bustling breeze from the distant Nosifia Mountains, it is refreshing to find a shade or shade such as a house or a house.
The women were responsible for carrying the water from the moat in wooden wheels, the elderly and children were responsible for spreading the water on the steps of the road, using the evaporated water to bring away the heat, and from time to time the cold water from the nearby well was replenished into the bowls under the shed for the adult men who were working in the sun.
Next to it was a deep pit, which had been used as an activity field, but now it was only a large construction site, and Colbornson had recruited almost all the adult males to work in the one-man pit.
Of course, whether it is a man, a woman, an old man or a child, they will get a good salary from the royal family during their work, which is why everyone is so hot under the sun.
The reception room where Gehr and Philip were located had a perfect view of the scene.
Gehr has been a little irritable lately, this feeling has started since he returned to Winterwilight Castle, it may be the weather or puberty, anyway, it just makes him not very comfortable, if it weren't for Prince Philip, who went to meet with the top of the Northern Legion, and returned to Winterdusk Castle, at this time Gehr should be desperately practicing swordsmanship to squeeze the excess energy in his body.
Prince Philip, who is an old man, chatted with Gehr for a while and found out his problem, and said with a smile after asking Gehr's reaction: "It's okay, many people have this reaction after going off the battlefield, and I was like this after I fought the barbarians, I was full of energy every day and I didn't feel comfortable if I didn't do something, just live a peaceful life." ”
Gehr smiled and didn't answer. He knew that he was much more serious than Prince Philip had said, his body and his soul were constantly thinking about the constant intertwining of life and death on the battlefield, the smell of blood, the smell of gunsmoke still seemed to reverberate at the tip of his nose. He knew what he needed, and only the blood of his enemies could quench his thirst.
"By the way, a good thing for you. Seeing that Gehr was not interested in talking, and that he was much less interested in talking, Prince Philip took out a document from the box on the side and handed it to Gehr: "Your business has been done, take a look." ”
Gehr took it, opened it and saw that it was one of the rewards for trading Colbornson to the royal family - a 20% permanent stake in the Royal Berniro Bank.
The Royal Berniro Bank is a newly established bank with the Winterdusk Fort Gold Mine as its capital, and there are only a few shareholders - the royal family, a few large nobles and Gehr, of course, what the others do internally does not care about Gehr's affairs.
"The head office of the Royal Berniro Bank has already made preparations in San Rotaro and today is the time to set up and announce the composition of the shareholders. Andrei, I really envy you. The prince explained, sighing in his tone.
What Prince Ge Zhi Dao was envious. With this share, the Colbornson family is equivalent to forever connected with Konatas, as long as Konatas exists, Colbornson will exist for a day, and there is no need to worry about the continuation of the family at all - as long as he is not wiped out like Earl Carter, but once this happens, the dividends generated by this 20% stake will become a permanent revenge fund for those who successfully avenge the Colbenson family. The prince's side is different, as the juniors are slowly estranged by blood, they will eventually be separated from the royal family, and may continue to prosper or decline, all of which can only depend on his juniors.
Of course, this share cannot be bought and sold, cannot be gifted, and only belongs to the Kolburnson family, and it does not have the right to exercise the shares, only dividends, but compared with the above advantages, this restriction is harmless at all. This is also a gesture made by the royal family to buy bones for a thousand dollars, and the Royal Berniro Bank is an economy that is likely to be able to control the lifeblood of the country, and it will definitely impose some due restrictions on Geer's shares.
This is the greatest wealth that Gehr left to the Colburnson family, more reliable than land.
"You'll have to get the rest in San Rotaro. The personnel in charge of Wintertwilight Castle will arrive in ten days, and it will be time for me to return to San Rotaro, will you come with me?" Prince Philip extended an invitation to Gel to accompany him.
"I'd love to walk with the Prince. ”
