Chapter XXXVII

Lovren Temporary Residence, Reception Room.

Isolde gently opened the door, turned and left the house, standing outside with Bacchus.

The knight's hands and feet were still a little heavy, and the rope that hung the oil lamp from the ceiling of the reception room was shaken a little by the vibration of the door as it was closed, causing the sparks in the lamp to flicker, and the flickering light cast several shadows on the faces of the people at the conference table, making the already somewhat cold atmosphere even more eerie.

There were four people in the reception room, all sitting in high-backed chairs at the conference table, three alive and one dead.

Lovren struggled to keep his gaze from looking to his left. On the chair to his left, his brother Carlos sat in the same position as before, silent, but this time the silence was eternal, and the person whose head had a hole in his head pierced through the front and back would not have the opportunity to show his presence with action again.

Just because I didn't see it didn't mean it didn't exist in Lovren's mind.

A mixture of emotions such as shock, unwillingness, fear, and anger finally distorted the muscles of his face into an exaggerated form, and his eyes, which were already lifeless like dead fishes, were still dilated to the limit, and then there was the hole a little above the eyes, a hole pierced by a sharp weapon, a hole that Loveren would never forget, and a hole that made Lovenn never forget and chill when he thought about it, and the terrified and almost hideous eyes of his sister Luo Lucy on the other side that he saw through this red-and-white passage when he first saw this hole......

His thoughts were in a mess, and Lovren frantically wanted to turn his uncontrollable mind to come up with a solution to the dilemma in front of him, but it was useless, his thoughts were still floating freely, and the trace of fear slowly wrapped around every bone, every muscle, and every inch of skin with his thoughts, as if he had sunk into the endless deep sea in a dream, unable to struggle and unable to resist.

Forcibly turned his gaze to the other side, which was where Luo Lucy was.

The noblewoman now hung her head down, and her bright blonde hair, which had been tied high, had also fallen out, covering her cheeks and hiding her expression in shadows, but Loveron could still see the grim whiteness of death in the revealed bits of skin.

I should also be this kind of face**.

Lovren didn't dare to look any more, his gaze shifted horizontally again, and a flash from the table caught his eye.

It was a knife, much like a knife of a sword. There is no scabbard, and the shiny blade has a straight spine and a sharp edge on one side, and the tip of the knife has a wonderful arc that shimmers with a shuddering light.

It was the knife that pierced Carlos' skull, right? If it was this knife, it wouldn't have been painful to die.

Da ...... Da ...... Da ......

The crisp sound of tapping drew Lovren's attention, a slender and slender hand resting on the edge of the knife. Lovren suddenly felt a sense of regret that the owner of this hand should have used it to play the piano and be a great artist, not to be a butcher with a sword.

Lovren's regret could not prevent the index finger of the hand from continuing to tap on the table at a strange frequency, and with the sound of this tapping, everything before his eyes became so illusory, as if it were just a dream, a comical dream.

It wasn't until the owner of the hand opened his mouth that these illusions were suddenly shattered.

"Uncle Lovren, Aunt Lotusie, is there anything else you would like to say?" and the same as the young man's face, the words were equally calm, unhurried, and every word was very clear.

"Gehr, what do you want us to say?" Lovren chuckled.

"Let's start from scratch. By the way, let's talk about the gold mine first. Gehr crossed his hands, his elbows propped up on the table, his fingers tangled under his chin, and he made a gesture of listening.

"Gold Mine! What did Kevin say?" Lovren was stunned for a moment, but was relieved to think of the old butler who hadn't shown up here.

"Not really, Kevin didn't get a chance to say that. I just learned about it this afternoon, and I haven't decided on the location yet. Gehr bowed slightly, motioning for Lovren to continue.

Loving Lun didn't bother with how the gold mine was discovered, which no longer meant anything, and began to recount in a low voice: "The matter of the gold mine was told to us by Earl Carter, and we didn't know anything about it before, and he didn't say anything about the cause of the matter. However, after learning about it, our family members did some investigation, combined all kinds of information, and after going to the location of the mine to inspect the site, we also deduced the general truth of the matter. ”

After a pause, Loveran looked up at Luo Lucy on the opposite side, and found that she still didn't react, shook his head, and continued: "It should be a miner who made a deep hole when looking for a copper ore branch, and luck befell him, his hole came to the bottom of the original copper ore main vein after bypassing a large rock layer, and he really found an unprecedented gold vein there. Unfortunately, he was too careless to be followed, and was suspected of being followed when dealing with the stolen gold mines in Mora City, and for a while the entire underground society in Mora City was unsettled. As a result, the news reached Earl Carter, and the miners fell into his hands, and the existence of the gold mine was exposed, and Earl Carter completely cleaned the ** of Mora City in order to protect this secret, so until he told us that the family behind us didn't know about it. ”

"Then what does Earl Carter have to tell you, isn't it better to have it alone?"

"He couldn't swallow this. Lovren shook his head: "After returning to Wintertwilight Castle, several of our families have secretly found master ore surveyors to explore, and the results are all the same, the bottom of the abandoned copper mine is only a branch of the gold mine, according to its extension direction and geological environment, the real main vein is under our feet...... Yes, just below Winterdusk. ”

There was a hint of clarity in Geer's eyes, and everything was strung together.

"This gold mine is beyond our imagination, and if it is really developed, as long as we master this gold mine, the economic lifeline of this country will be controlled, as long as we take a share of it, even if it is a very small part, we are the Colbenson family...... Forget it, that's not something I should be thinking about. ”

Lovren became excited as he spoke, but when he saw Ger's emotionless eyes, he suddenly felt like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he felt that the gold mine suddenly became tasteless.

Next, Lovren explained to Gerle in detail how Earl Carter found them, how to set up the plan, how to complete it, and how to distribute the time, including how Lovren made various decisions after Gehr revealed the cause of Baron Andre's death.

"When will the reinforcements that Earl Carter said will arrive?"

"Five days...... No, it should be four days later, there may be a little error, but it won't be too big, I don't know how many troops there are, but it won't be too much, otherwise it will provoke a violent backlash from the Wang Party, it should be his private soldiers, maybe plus some people drawn from the army. Lovren pondered for a moment and said cautiously.

"Four days?"

Gehr frowned, and took out from his pocket the news that he had just arrived today, which said that Earl Carter's private army would arrive in ten days, which was more than double the time.

"Okay, Uncle Xie, your answer, let's end it like this today. As for the question of intelligence, Gehr temporarily pressed his doubts, it was not early now, and the sound of guards patrolling sporadically sounded outside, it was time to solve everything at present.

"Wait, Gehr!" Rolucy, who had not spoken, suddenly raised her head and stopped Gehr.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

"I know we lost, and there's nothing to complain about, but I ask you to spare my children. ”

"Yes, as long as they don't come to me, I won't go to them. Gehr didn't hesitate.

Hearing this answer, Lovren immediately perked up. Lotsi's children didn't bring her, she was the only one who came, and Lovren and Carlos were different in that they both brought their families with them, and now they are hiding on the second floor waiting for fate to deal with them. He himself must be hopeless, but if Gelken raised his hand, it might not be lifeless.

"Gehr, I ......" said at the thought of Lovelen, like making a request to Gehr.

"Uncle, you understand. Gehr interrupted him bluntly, his tone calm but as cruel as the north wind.

Lovren's eyes darkened.

He, Carlos's family is different from Luo Lucy, strictly speaking, Luo Luxi has taken on the surname of another family, and can no longer be counted as a member of the Colbenson family, and her children do not pose any threat to Gehr, so Gehr will let it go. But unlike Carlos, once they die, their wives and children will be the best excuse for all the powerful forces who want to get a piece of the Coleburnson family, and the threat to Gehr is too great, and he will not let go of Gehr's position in the future.

"Gehr, I have one more request, I want our Colburnson family to die with dignity. After the safety of the children no longer had to be worried, Luo Luxi's whole body relaxed, and the original dead gray complexion began to turn ruddy, and she regained the beauty that the noble lady should have.

"Yes, I'll give you 20 minutes. Gell nodded, stood up, picked up his knife, and left the reception room, all the way out of the house.

Outside the door, the rain had almost stopped, and only a few scattered raindrops remained.

Isolde and Bacchus were sending a group of guards to patrol and greeted Gehr when they saw him, and the captain of the squad leading the guards immediately came up and saluted when he saw Gehr.

"You and your men fence this room, keep a distance, don't let anyone else come close, and don't worry about anything else. ”

"Yes, sir. The team leader immediately led his men to do what Gehr had arranged.

"Isolde, Bacchus, follow them. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After a while, Gehr was the only one left at the door.

Looking up at the sky, the dense dark clouds had begun to disperse, and the red moon finally showed a small face in the dark curtain, which was exceptionally bright.
