Chapter 25 Son, learn to be temperate!
What went wrong...
Lin En kept thinking, using his status as a nobleman as a stepping stone to meet Lauder through trade was the fastest and safest way he thought of, but he didn't expect to hit a wall at the first step.
This made Lynn a little bit embarrassed. He even wondered if Lauder had received some bad news, so he hid on purpose.
If this is the case, it will be troublesome. It is not easy to find someone who wants to hide.
Lin En was thinking, when the dense crowd at the port suddenly became extremely chaotic. Amidst bursts of screams, a beautifully decorated carriage drove through the narrow road and galloped towards this side.
Which nobleman is so arrogant?
Lin En frowned and was about to withdraw, but the carriage stopped directly in front of him.
Not long after, a well-dressed, tall and thin middle-aged man got out of the car and bowed very much.
"Finally found you, Master Lott, please go back with me as soon as possible, Lord Pedrol has something very important to see you!"
Facing the sudden invitation, Lynn almost didn't react. Fortunately, he recalled Lott's diary, and quickly judged that the person in front of him was the housekeeper of Pedrol's house, and then a drop of cold sweat fell on Lynn's forehead emerge.
He just wanted to borrow this identity temporarily as a stepping stone to enter Haigang Town and meet the lame Lauder, but he didn't expect that the rightful owner would come to the door now.
And much faster than he expected in advance!
To go or not to go?
Countless possibilities flashed through Lynn's mind. After a pause for a second or two, under the respectful and firm gaze of the butler, Lynn nodded, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.
Patapata...
The stagnant carriage moved slowly, moving forward on the muddy road at the pier, the body swayed non-stop, making Lynn a little uncomfortable sitting on it.
"Before you enter the mansion later, you'd better take care of it first. If Lord Pedrol sees it, you will be very upset!" The curtain was lifted again, and the tall and thin butler glanced at Lynn hands, reminding me.
Lin En lowered his head, only to realize that his hands were stained with a lot of yellow-black powder, which should have been accidentally stuck on it when he helped the halfling Bill carry the barrel.
Wait... Lynn suddenly raised his hand and lowered his head to smell it.
This taste seems to be...
Sulphur?
…
Pedrol's mansion is located in the northwest of Harbor Town, on the busiest street. The deep black iron gate stands majestically. When the carriage slowly drove through the gate, Lynn quickly noticed the secret hidden under the surface. s things.
Fine weeds protrude from the gaps in the floor tiles, and the flowers planted on both sides of the road have withered half due to lack of care.
But it's normal to think about it. Pedrol Mansion hasn't hired a gardener who specializes in pruning flowers for a long time.
After some simple washing, Lynn was led by the servants to the front hall of the mansion, where Baron Pedrol was already sitting at the dining table covered with a crimson tablecloth and waiting.
Also sitting at the table was a girl with brown hair, about sixteen or seventeen years old, staring at him with an indescribable gaze, probably the younger sister Ivana mentioned by Lott...
Lynn observed silently, and sat down on the only vacant seat. On the table in front of him was a plate of hot steak and three or two unknown vegetable leaves. Obviously, this was his today. dinner.
Compared to eating black bread with water, it is already extremely rich!
"Where have you been? My son, I wanted to find you last night, but you were not in the mansion." Baron Pedrol asked with a dissatisfied expression after Lynn sat down, but his eyes couldn't help He looked at the tall and thin butler who entered the door together.
"I found the young master at the pier at the port." The butler replied without turning his eyes.
Baron Pedrol's face darkened immediately, and he said in a deep voice. "I should have warned you, Lott, it's okay to relax properly, but never spend the night in that kind of low-class place, hanging out with dirty whores!"
Lin En was very speechless, co-author, you think I went to whoring, right?
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he couldn't refute it. He couldn't say that your son didn't come back last night, so he jumped into the sea and committed suicide, right?
Lin En anticipated the reaction Lott should have, and finally lowered his head without saying a word.
"I don't want it to happen again!" Baron Pedrol's tone was very severe. After a pause, he continued to speak.
"In addition, in the next few days, you all have to pay attention to me. Recently, Haigang Town is not peaceful."
"I heard that Bishop Anrioke brought a large number of people to the town of Ur a few days ago to arrest the followers of the devil. As a result, he suffered heavy losses. Only a dozen of the 100 elite guards came back alive. Not only that, but even An Bishop Ruk was also severely injured..."
"Are these wizards really that powerful?" Iweena asked in astonishment, averting her gaze from Lynn.
You must know that although the entire Sekas Empire is ruled by kings and lords, it is the Holy See who really controls everything!
Or in other words, it is the messenger of the great Lord of the Stars and Goddess of Creation [Ayla] in the mortal world.
And an archbishop like Anrioke is undoubtedly the spokesperson of God in the territory of Nordland. Such a big man, who is usually unimaginable, was defeated in the process of rounding up the wizard. Such a contrast made it difficult for Ivana to accept for a while. .
"These wizards have been corrupted by the devil, and they possess unimaginable witchcraft. They are not so easy to deal with." Speaking of this, Baron Pedrol couldn't help but shudder.
A year ago, he met Bishop Anrioke, who seemed to be about the same age as him, or even younger, but when he met again tonight, he saw a man in his eighties or nineties. Old man, he really couldn't imagine what kind of witchcraft could make a powerful bishop look like this.
What Baron Pedrol could not have imagined was that the other protagonist in his conversation was sitting quietly beside him, slowly and orderly cutting the steak with a knife and fork...
Lin En was also somewhat surprised by the information that Anyoke was still alive. He thought that under such circumstances, the bishop would only have three endings.
Either be poisoned to death, or be crushed to death by falling stones, or dedicate their lives to complete the divine descent technique.
Still, the so-called [Ella] projection saved him again.
But obviously the rescue was not complete, otherwise Pedrol would not have said that the other party was seriously injured...
