Chapter 43
"Are you really involved in the struggle within the noble family?" thought to Adam.
As soon as Matt entered, he knew who had sent the Macallan.
He sent the bird to follow The Macallan all the time, to write down the people McCarron had come into contact with and had spoken to for a long time, and to alert Adam by calling when he met him.
The first was David, and the birds chirped.
When the middle-aged man came in, the birds prompted again.
Walker, who had been standing silent, also looked out the window, his eyes falling on the birds.
Seeing this, Adam decisively came to the window, opened the window, stretched out his hand, and the birds fell on Adam's hand, and the last one, which was slightly fatter, swayed and stopped on Adam's head.
"They were my pets, so I let them stay outside for fear of causing trouble. Adam said apologetically.
"Master Adam was overwhelmed. Doug admired Adam more and more.
Although he was only a commoner, he was a son in every way except for his birth, and it would be nice if such a boy was born in the Roma family.
If at the beginning, Doug only befriended Adam simply for the elixir, but now he really cherishes his talents.
"Master Adam will stay here tonight. Doug settled down a little toughly, and then instructed Walker on the side: "Wait for someone to go to Boku's house to inform you, and bring some small gifts by the way." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Doug. Adam had been polite twice before, and this time he didn't refuse.
Doug has something to ask for Alva, and it is already a fact that he is involved, not that he can hide if he refuses the gift in the morning, not to mention that Adam actually doesn't like to escape, although his main purpose now is to escape from the country where the Holy Sound Church is located.
"That's my eldest son, Matt. Doug picked up the cup engraved with the mark of the Floating City on one side and took a sip before speaking leisurely.
Seeing this cup, Adam blinked, do all the nobles like the Floating City?
He once quietly observed Mansra's Mansion and saw a maid enter the study with a similar cup.
With this in mind, Adam continued to listen to Doug's story, and a qualified listener can make people feel good.
When he was young, he was busy with the family business and neglected to teach, but now, Matt is becoming more and more unsuccessful. Doug's expression was very ugly: "The eldest son of a nobleman, he doesn't even know what property he has. ”
"Of the many trials I have arranged for him, he has only passed once, and it would only be a disaster for him to inherit the Roma family. It seems that with a listener, Doug also has a rare breath of bitterness.
It's not that he didn't think about passing the coat of arms to Matt, so he quietly arranged a test, as long as Matt passed, he wouldn't hold the coat of arms and not let go.
However, the results were too disappointing.
I didn't even recognize my own casino, and under the deliberate calculation, I lost all my net worth and owed a lot of gambling debts.
This is nothing, as a nobleman, it is inevitable to recruit people, who hasn't fallen into the trap?
But to Doug's disappointment, he couldn't even find his parents after being calculated.
Next, if Matt can immediately call someone to find a relationship to lift the casino, for those debts who turn their faces and don't recognize people, even if they lose the face of the family, Doug will feel better.
However, he was actually frightened, and was frightened by some small tricks of the casino people, so he took the IOU and held him to death.
The brain is not shrewd, he can't hide from calculations, and he doesn't know how to turn to capable people for help, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't even be shameless.
Dang was so angry that he vomited blood at that time.
Although Adam didn't know what happened, he sympathized with him, saying that the most important thing for nobles was always inheritance.
After spitting out the bitterness, Adam thought that Doug would immediately mention what he asked for Alva, but he didn't expect Doug to be able to calm down, and he didn't even mention Alva.
In the evening, Adam was invited to a dinner party, and in the dining room, Adam met several of Doug's other children, who were not good at words and fearful of Doug, but each had their own thoughts, which was Adam's impression of them.
After seeing these people, Adam understood why Doug was so disappointed in Matt, but he still didn't cancel Matt's inheritance, because once it was canceled, it would only cause bigger problems.
"Education has failed too much. Adam saw that if only one descendant is like this, it can only be said that it is the person's own problem, and all descendants are not, it can only mean that there is a problem with Doug's education.
The other children had different expressions about Adam's arrival, but Matt's attitude was very clear, and Matt did not show up until the end of the dinner.
Matt felt that his territory had been invaded, and the old guy dared to blatantly bring people to the manor, so the next step was to announce that he would be stripped of his inheritance?
In the afternoon, when he heard Adam and Doug enter the study, Matt lost his mind in an instant, rushed over without thinking about anything, and only after pushing the door open did he realize what he had done.
In the face of Doug's scolding, Matt didn't even dare to show his anger, but he transferred all his resentment to Adam's guest, and Matt had instinctively regarded Adam as his competitor at this time.
Especially when he had to know that Ge had arranged for someone to quietly go to the central clock tower, he had already completely confirmed his guess.
"Is the old thing so impatient?" Matt held up the vase next to him and wanted to smash it, but suddenly it occurred to him that the vase would not break too loudly, and then attract the attention of the old thing.
So he put down the vase again, and stayed in the room alone, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, could it be that the Roma family was really going to be taken away by such a civilian wild seed?
"No, I have to act. Thinking so, Matt pushed open the door and called his own attendants.
On the other side, several people took advantage of the night to rush towards the central tower, quietly slipped in, and lightly explored the entire central tower, looking for possible mechanisms in the tower.
But after checking up and down several times, they didn't find any place to hide, but when they left, several people found one thing, and some of them were missing.
Quietly, without any sound, it was gone.
Several people glanced at each other and hurriedly evacuated the clock tower.
In the eleventh floor, Celine was holding a spell book in her hand, staring at the unconscious person on the ground with her azure eyes, and then looked up at the twelfth floor, and two invisible whips wrapped around the person and dragged him into the room.
After the dinner, Doug disappeared for a while, and when he reappeared, he invited Adam to the study to talk.
Adam understood that this was the right thing to do, but he did not refuse.
"Master Adam has seen some of my children, right?" Doug seemed to be much older: "Of the sons, none of them have become successful, and there are one or two of the daughters who are a little clever, but they are all married." ”
"If Mr. Doug needs anything, just say it, Adam can help, and he will definitely help. Adam said the promise of no money.
And Doug finally said what he really wanted.
"Master Adam, who practiced the profession of a sorcerer with Master Alva, I don't know if it is clear or not, Master Alva has had an amazing achievement. ”
"Elixir. Doug coughed and said what he wanted, and there seemed to be a different look in his eyes.
Adam felt some unspeakable malice looming over him, not from Doug, not even from anyone, but from the name of the elixir.
Adam's eyes widened instantly, expressing his surprise to Doug, but he completely realized it in his heart.
Why did Alva, who is the Three Masters of the Holy Voice, become a painter, most churches believe that birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws set by God, and they do not need to be changed, they just need to be accepted.
It is only because of this that the Church is indeed weakening, as evidenced by the rise of aristocratic power.
So there have been ambitious people in the church who want to change that, but they don't end up very well.
Unexpectedly, Alva was also one of them.
