The lobby of the core tower of Fort Winterfall.

At a large rectangular wooden dining table, a circle of people were sitting quietly eating food.

Gehr sat on the main seat at one end of the table, and he was the one who represented the highest position in Winterdusk Castle.

He was flanked by a young girl and a middle-aged woman, Sophia and her mother, Lady Taria.

Unlike Sophia, who was a little shy, Lady Taria's face was full of joy, she had never dared to expect it when she was sitting in the position she was sitting in, but it was so easy to achieve it now, which made her excited and made her feel that her decision to let Sophia follow Geer from a young age was the most forward-looking decision in her life.

As for the three ill-intentioned relatives, Lady Taria, they didn't have to worry about anything, and as soon as Young Master Griezmann returned, they didn't have to sit obediently at the tail of the table. Of course, before Gel and Sophia returned, her vacillating thoughts about gains and losses had long been forgotten by her.

There were two middle-aged women sitting under Sophia's mother and daughter, two of Gehr's father's two wives with children, who were very respectful and polite to Gehr's expression. Below were two rows of boys and girls, all of whom were the children of these two ladies, and also Geer's half-brothers and sisters, a total of two men and five girls, all wearing aristocratic costumes with black and red as the main colors, the eldest was eleven or twelve years old, most of them were handsome and beautiful, sitting quietly eating their own food.

And then there are Gehr's three father's relatives.

Lovren and Carlos look alike, but anyone who sees them will never admit their mistake or confuse their professions.

Lovren was dressed in a black gown, with every strand of his hair glittering, with a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, and every movement was a glance, much like most of the nobles Geer had ever seen. And Carlos is different from his brother, he is closer to Baron André in temperament, with a military uniform, short gray hair and a serious look, as a soldier, his appearance can be regarded as a perfect score. The youngest of the three, Mrs. Locy, was a noblewoman who looked to be in her early thirties, and her charm was particularly good.

Except for Madame Lotusie, who came only single, Lovren and Carlos both brought their own families, but at this time their families were not qualified to sit here, so they had to stay in the small hall next to them to eat.

As for Kevin, the old butler, he stood behind Gehr, coordinating the frequency of the maids' deliveries.

According to the traditional aristocratic etiquette, no noise should be made during meals, but it is generally not strictly observed, and a certain amount of communication between meals at Colbenson's house is also a way to maintain relationships. But today was different, there was a heavy atmosphere in the hall, the adults were silent, and the children did not dare to make a mistake under the reminder of the elders, so there was no sound in the whole hall except for the sound of silver cutlery and plates colliding.

Gehr stuffed the last piece of beef from his plate into his mouth, swallowed it, rinsed it with the clear soup on one side, and spit it into the silver plate, which was considered to be the completion of the lunch.

"I'm done eating, Brother Geer, Valentine is going to quit first. A little blue-haired boy on Gehr's left pushed away his chair and saluted Gehr.

Gehr nodded.

"Vivien is well, too. "This time it's a brunette girl on the right.

With the two of them taking the lead, the rest of the people also finished eating and leaving the table one after another, and the last five people were left, Gehr, Sophia, Lovren, Carlos and Luo Lucy, as well as Kevin, the old butler who was standing on the side.

"Uncle Lovren, Uncle Carlos, and Aunt Lolucy, I am very grateful that you have come this time to give grandpa the last ride. Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Gehr was the first to speak.

"It's our responsibility to the children and grandchildren of the Colburnson family. It was Lovren who spoke, his voice as calm as his demeanor.

Gehr bowed his head and glanced at the three elders on the other side of the table, and seeing that Carlos and Luo Lucy did not react, he had a rough idea in his heart that Lovren should be the core figure among the three.

"I'm ashamed that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities before my grandfather left, and I also heard Kevin say that during this time, thanks to the management of a few people, Winterwilight Castle was not able to give you a good hospitality, but also asked your uncles and aunts to work hard, which made me even more ashamed. So I've got Kevin ready the best and most comfortable room on the third floor, so that you can move in immediately, which means that I apologize, please don't refuse. ”

The sixth floor is the core of the tower, and when Baron André was alive, he always received the affairs officers distributed in various positions in the territory in the reception room on the sixth floor to control every move in the territory, and it was also the place where all aspects of the territory were stored, so this can be called the heart of the entire Colbenson territory. For this kind of key position, Geer would not tolerate them continuing to occupy it, so he directly asked them to move out as soon as he came up.

As for whether they would like to move out, Gehr didn't care.

It's best if you move, and if you don't move, you just tear your face. Since Earl Carter is using delaying tactics, it means that their side is not fully prepared, and they will not lose if they are prepared to fight unintentionally, and if they are prepared, they will not lose on their side.

Geer's decisive decision was completely unexpected by the three elders who thought they knew Geer's character very well, and they were a little stunned by Geer's words, and it took a while to react.

Carloston was about to stand up as soon as he propped up his hands on the table, but after a moment he relaxed and sat back down at the table. From Gehr's point of view, I saw that Lovren next to Carlos was silent, but his shoulders moved slightly, according to the analysis of the simulation action model, it should be his hand pressed on Carlos's leg to stop Carlos's seizure.

On the other side, Luo Lucy opened her mouth in surprise, and then took out the feather fan that was popular among the noblewomen, covering half of her face under her eyes, leaving her eyes with surprise, doubt, and puzzlement, and then turned her head to look at Lovren to see what he did.

"Ahem. Lovren coughed lightly, reached out and lifted the frame of his glasses, and said at a slower pace: "Gehr, we have received your kindness, it is true that we are a little tired these days, but ......"

"Well, that's it. Kevin, you go and arrange for the servants to help your uncle and aunt carry their things. Gehr directly interrupted Lovren's words, and made the decision hard, blocking Lovren almost out of breath, but also making his face flush for a while.

Without giving these people time to react, Gehr continued to take care of himself: "Uncles and aunts should have a good rest today, I believe it will be a good holiday in the future." By the way, I still have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave. ”

Gehr pushed away his chair, stood up and left the table.

Seeing this, Sophia quickly stood up, saluted the three of Lovren, and quickly followed Gehr, who was walking towards the door of the hall.

The three of Lovren were caught off guard by Gehr's series of attacks, and they didn't know how to react for a while, and they didn't slow down before Gehr left the hall.

"Bang!"

Gell walked out of the hall with Sophia and Kevin, and not long after they could hear a loud bang on the table in the hall.

Gehr stopped and said to Kevin, who was one position behind, "Go and arrange for a carpenter to take care of it, and I hope to have a good table for dinner." ”

Kevin, the old butler, was also a little stunned by the completely different spirit shown by Gehr today, and after hearing Gehr's request, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod his head: "It's good, young master." ”

"By the way, where is Grandpa's grave? ”

"The old man's grave is on Qingyan Mountain, and I will arrange people tomorrow morning. ”

"Well, you go and take care of my uncle and aunt's move first, I'll go out. Gehr motioned for Kevin to leave.

"Yes, young master. ”

It was only then that Gehr strode out of the tower with Sophia.

......

"Bang!"

Carlos' fist slammed into the dining table, instantly punching a hole in the table made of thick teak planks.

"Lovren, what are we going to do? really move out?" said Lotusie, asking Lovren.

"What else? Lovren smiled wryly.

"What will happen if we don't move?" Carlos, who was still angry just now, seemed to give vent to all his negative emotions after throwing a punch, and the person regained his composure.

"In this way, the rift between us and him is clearly on the table, and he can legitimately drive us out of Winterfall, and while his character will be blamed, we will be a complete failure. Lovren analyzed.

"With that shit, what can he do to get us out of the city?" Carlos scoffed at Gehr.

"Have you forgotten the Arathas Bridge, didn't he just come alive?" Rolucy interjected.

"I don't understand this, I've done several experiments, and even if a team of less than ten people is all knights, as long as they get on that thing, they will definitely not survive. The problem should be with Anta, he is not our man, and it is also because he is in Sophia that he can make it to Gehr's side alive, I think it is likely that Gredo's matter was discovered by Anta, and there was a fight, and as a result, the two of them died, and Gehr was lucky to come back alive. Carlos said with a frown.

"But don't forget, now that he has a relationship with the royal family, the knights around him are all members of the Iron Brotherhood, plus the knight camp in the city, it's really going to fall out, do you think he dares to touch you?"

"Then we'll move to the third floor now?" asked Lucy Ros.

"Let's move, that's the only way to do it now, as long as we stay here, and when Earl Carter is ready, we won't be afraid that Ger will be able to turn over. Lovren thought for a moment and continued, "Stop that beforehand. ”

"Stop, do you know how much we're going to lose by that?" said Lucy's voice, which became sharp.

"Stop! Don't let anyone else, especially Gehr and the royal family, know about it until you have finally taken control of the situation. Glancing at Luo Lucy, Lovren said calmly: "I don't want any of the previous digging, you two divide it equally." ”

"I don't want it either, you can take it all. Carlos stood up in silence and headed for the hall door.

From the original one-third to all of it was herself, Luo Luxi couldn't help but show joy, and when she saw Carlos in action, she immediately asked with concern: "Where are you going?"

"Move!"
