The devastation of war is always enormous, and although the sudden battle at the dinner party can only be regarded as a small fight, it is enough to turn this lavish dinner hall into a tattered ruin, and the subsequent treatment is often more energy-consuming than the battle.

However, this had nothing to do with Gehr, and under the escort of the soldiers, he took Sophia directly back to the hotel where he was staying.

"My lord, Sophia, you have finally returned. ”

As soon as she entered the hall, Mrs. Talia greeted her with a panicked face, and the soldiers who suddenly appeared outside frightened her, and she couldn't sit still for a while, as did the other ladies, who were now uprooted from their homeland, and the family depended on Gehr for everything, and once Gehr had an accident, they would not be much better than the remnants of the Garro family.

"It's okay, go to bed early, and set off normally tomorrow." ”

After letting Madame Talia and the others rest, Gehr called Mile and Both, told them to take care of something, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Because of the attack on the Moon Bay Hotel, the entire city of Mora is now very nervous, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and there are more specially arranged troops stationed on the side like Geer, and the safety can be guaranteed.

There was no word all night.

The next morning, when Gehr began the next leg of his journey as planned, he learned that Prince Philip would temporarily remain in Mora City on behalf of the royal family due to the aftermath of the city's rehabilitation, so he could not return to San Rotaro with Geer.

However, Prince Philip specially came to the train station to see off Gehr, which also showed the outside world the importance and care of the royal family for Gehr.

"I'm sure we'll meet again in San Rotaro soon, and when the time comes, my old man will come to you for tea, so don't bother me and avoid me." Prince Philip smiled, and his whole body was full of kindness.

"I'm happy to accompani. Gehr smiled and nodded.

After some farewell, Gehr got on the train.

Woo~~

Sitting by the window of the box, watching the train station in Mora City begin to recede, and gradually unable to see the scene there clearly, Geer exhaled softly: "A nobleman will only be a nobleman, and neither the royal family nor the prince will be a part of the aristocracy. ”

......

More than a dozen people sat around a conference table.

It is a bright room, with walls made entirely of glass that allow the room to enjoy the gift of sunlight without the punishment of the cold wind.

The walls are surrounded by a circle of emerald plants, making the room even more vibrant.

However, the atmosphere in the room was not as bright as the sun overhead.

"Frodo, we need your explanation. The old man sitting on the throne rebuked sternly, his face was as cold as the snow-covered Peak Temura, and his tone was like a north wind blowing over the Peak of Temura:" Because of your connections, all our power in the county of Jobnar has been swept away, and the influence on the whole of the north is irreparable, all because of your arbitrary actions, and if you do not have a reasonable explanation, then I will call a vote of no confidence in you, and we do not need an incompetent and self-aware person in our ranks to participate in our sacred cause. ”

With the old man's words, the other participants at the table all turned their eyes to the end of the table, where there was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, the original combed and delicate hairstyle was a little scattered, especially the hair on the forehead, which became wisps and wisps under the continuous watering of sweat, like hanging several small melons and fruits.

"I'm sorry, Speaker. Although Frodo looked embarrassed, his voice was still very stable and clear: "This time, because the royal family took the lead in breaking the tacit understanding between us, and even used force to eliminate our biggest supporters in Joberna County, the Garro family, I think this is a great provocation to us, and we must give a stern counterattack, but I miscalculated Philip's cunning, it is my fault, and I am willing to take responsibility." ”

Frodo's righteous words did not make the Speaker's face thaw.

The Speaker clapped his hands, and a waiter walked in and placed a document beside Frodo.

"This is a detailed record of the operation you organized, the person in charge was your uncle, the participants included your three brothers, none of whom were able to get out of the Moon Bay Hotel, plus you executed another uncle because of your disobedience to the action you planned, and now there is no one in the entire Deen family who can affect your position, I have to applaud this hand. The Speaker's voice was calm, but Frodo felt a chill in his ears, and cold beads of sweat oozed from his already pale face, and the speaker's voice turned higher in vain, and again turned into a question in his eyes.

"But you shouldn't use the interests of our entire organization to become a bargaining chip for your superiority, especially this kind of behavior at the cost of losing the strength of the organization, strictly speaking, you are betraying our common cause, so you are not worthy of taking over your father's position, nor are you worthy of becoming our comrade!"

"No, Your Excellency, please listen to me. I may have selfish intentions, but I really hope that this operation will be successful, the Winterwilight Gold Mine is too important, and the loss of Earl Carter is even more unbearable, and now that our entire northern deployment is facing royal infiltration, we must organize a strong counterattack to show our attitude, otherwise they will only become more and more unscrupulous......"

Frodo replied like this. However, he himself could not discern in his voice the force that justified his argument.

The others in the room exchanged gloomy glances, and finally the speaker spoke: "Frodo, can we trust you again?"

The Speaker's questioning stirred Frodo's spirit, and he immediately replied in a hoarse voice: "Believe me, if I betray my comrades and the common cause, I am willing to be burned by fire, my head bitten by worms, and cursed to the marrow, please believe me!"

“...... All right. The Speaker and the people present nodded: "One year, you have one year to restart the deployment of Yoberna County, and then we will see your exact results." Remember, our battle with the royal family is never an overnight thing, years, ten years, even hundreds of years, this time will be very long, your radicalism will only bring us unnecessary losses, we need long-term planning, do you understand?"

"Yes, I see. ”

"Very well, you go down. ”

When Frodo staggered out of the room, there was silence for a while, and one of the people in the room spoke: "Is this enough?"

"Enough is enough, a well-timed slap on Frodo can cool the brains of the radicals who follow Frodo's nonsense, and that's enough. ”

......

By the time Gehr returned to San Rotaró, it was the height of summer.

Originally, the summer in San Rotaro was not gentle, but in the past ten years, many coal and iron enterprises have been established, which has made the summer in the capital even more difficult, and after walking on the street for a long time, the body will begin to flow with blackened streams, sticky and prickly, uncomfortable, generally in the afternoon few people will go out, only when the sea breeze from the west arrives in the evening, there will be more people on the street.

It was late afternoon when Gehr arrived, and when he thought he needed to find an inn to spend the night, he was somewhat surprised to see Prince Fajellino on the nobleman's platform.

"Welcome back, Gehr, and I have to say that you have done so well in the county of Joberna, and on behalf of the royal family, I must express my sincere gratitude to you. ”

As soon as they met, Fayelino gave Gehr a warm hug like the sun on his head.

"You've won the prize, Your Highness. The prince's enthusiasm made Gehr a little uncomfortable, especially since such a person at least knightly was so close to him, it was a bit difficult to suppress his body's instinctive counterattack.

"No, you deserve this thanks, let's go, look at your new home. ”

Fajellino glanced back, and a group of squires he had brought with him began to carry the luggage for Gehr. The corresponding carriages were also prepared outside the train station, and Gel asked Sofia to take the others into the other carriages, and he himself was invited to the silver carriage of Fajellino.

"To be honest, I underestimated you before, I didn't expect you to be able to do so well, it's incredible, it's a pity that I can't understand the situation in the capital, and according to the information passed on, it seems too simple, can you tell me more about the specifics?" As soon as he got into the carriage, Fajellino began to ask about the events of Winterdusk Castle, which seemed to be very important to him.

Gehr could not refuse, so he selectively told Prince Fajellino everything that had happened, and the prince kept nodding and asking for details, and when the carriage reached its destination, Fajellino seemed to be unsatisfied.

The destination is a vast estate outside the city of San Rotalo, half hilly and half plain, with forests, lakes, fruit groves, vineyards, and even a quarry, which can provide good quality frost stone, a kind of building stone that the upper class likes to use, and the value of this large estate alone is no less than 100,000 gold royères.

This is where the Colburnson family lived, and it was part of a deal with the royal family.

After a general tour of the estate, Gehr signed and stamped the transfer documents of the estate, and the place was officially renamed Colbenson Estate.

After letting Sophia, Miller, Bot and the others go to check the whole situation of the manor, tidy up the residence, and get into management as soon as possible, Gehr and Fajellino came to a conference room in the main building.

"Mr. Baron Griezmann, I now solemnly invite you to join the Brotherhood of Steel and become one of us. ”
