156 The pride of the Brooke family
The Brooke family is very wealthy, and everyone in Sicilian knows about it.
But Liang Lidong didn't expect that the Brooke family would be so rich. The fence made of gold surrounds the manor, looking at the glittering gold, and what is even more outrageous is that the two main roads in the manor are actually paved with gold bricks. At a glance, it is almost blind to the eyes before refusing to stop.
This extravagant and nouveau riche posture, even if the coal mine boss comes, he has to bow down.
Liang Lidong has been to Sicilian City several times in the game, otherwise he would not have written down the magic signs here. He remembered that the Brooke family in the game was a very frugal family that believed in low-key ism, how could it have become this style for more than 300 years, and the change was too great.
Although the glittering fence looked tempting, and many people wanted to steal some, no one dared to do so, because there were hundreds of elite troops stationed near the manor.
Liang Lidong and Emma were stopped at the gate of the manor...... The guards were a little arrogant, but politely asked them to show the invitation.
Naturally, the two of them didn't have this thing, Liang Lidong told them about the invitation of the cavalry, and the guard asked the two of them to wait for a while, and then went back to the village to report, and came out after a while, and politely let them go, and invited the two of them to go in.
Walking on the gold-brick manor road, Emma's expression was very exciting, she was also from an aristocratic background, and she couldn't afford such an upstart behavior. It's just that in any case, the golden wealth is in front of him, and it is expressed in an almost brutal way, even if the other party's behavior is not in line with the elegance of the nobility, it will give people a sense of shock.
Especially when walking on the gold trail, estimating the value of this gold can make people's mouths dry at all.
Liang Lidong didn't feel much of it, after all, he had seen the divine kingdom of the goddess Wujin. Any pure gold floating platform there is much larger than Brooke's entire estate.
There weren't many servants in the manor, but everyone had a pride on their faces, like the gold that was everywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that Liang Lidong and Emma were both spellcasters, maybe they would have put their pride on their faces.
Lots of gold. Impetuous servant, Liang Lidong already knows why someone would want to blame the death of two elf women on the city of Sicily, a large amount of wealth is a sin in itself, and the Brooke family, who showed these sins to the world, will be finished sooner or later.
If you think about it this way, there are too many enemies of the Brooke family, and anyone who is interested in their family's wealth is very likely to trap them.
The Brooke family did not live in the castle. They don't need that kind of thing, a lot of wealth can bring great strength, Liang Lidong saw many professionals along the way, and these professionals are actually just some servants.
Hundreds of years of heritage, it is really not such a simple thing, no wonder the Brooke family dared to make gold into a fence, no wonder they dared to pave the road with gold bricks. It turns out that it is strong strength that brings strong self-confidence.
But sometimes overconfidence is arrogant.
The villa of the Brooke family. It is a very luxurious four-story wooden building, covering a small area, at most 300 square meters, but the bricks of the roof are actually paved with crystal, and the house itself is made of high-quality cold wood. The transparent crystal and the white-gold cold wood form a peculiar beauty.
But Emma is the saintess of the Storm Temple after all, and she is still a nobleman, after all, she has seen the world, and when she walks to the door of the villa. Her expression had become quite normal, after all, she had seen such a scene several times in the Prophecy Illusion, and she had some resistance beforehand.
There was a middle-aged housekeeper standing at the door, and he invited the two of them into the house, and then asked the two of them to take off their shoes.
Behind the door is a white carpet made of precious animal skins, and above these carpets, there are golden furniture...... All the furniture of this family is actually made of gold.
The middle-aged housekeeper asked Liang Lidong and Emma to go up to the second floor, and then closed the door and left.
All the furniture in the study is naturally made of pure gold.
Behind the golden desk sat an elderly fat man...... He looked at Emma, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, but there was not much greed, maybe the lust in his heart was not revealed, after all, this level of 'big people' has been trained to have a thick skin, and it is almost impossible to see their true intentions from their faces.
"Your Excellency Beta, there are ...... Her Highness the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Storms! The old fat man stood up: "Let me introduce myself, Iza of the Brooke family." ”
Once a person is fat, it is difficult to see any temperament, or even something like momentum. This old fat man is very white, Liang Lidong estimates that he should be over fifty years old, but he still looks middle-aged.
Liang Lidong and Emma saluted slightly.
Then Liang Lidong asked, "I don't know if His Excellency Iza summoned us over, what is the important matter." ”
"First of all, thank you for your help and for saying good things about our family in the face of nature's wrath." Iza saluted again to express his gratitude, and then he continued, "If it weren't for you, Your Excellency, I think our family would have suffered a lot by now. The character of Nature's Wrath is well known to everyone, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal. ”
He clapped his hands, and two big men came in the door, carrying a large suitcase. The box fell to the ground with a dull sound.
"These are 2,000 gold coins, a small meaning, not a tribute." Iza smiled, "I know it's nothing compared to what Your Excellency helped me, but it's a piece of my gratitude, so please smile." ”
Iza is very good at talking and comfortable to listen to. Liang Lidong didn't quite understand, since he was so knowledgeable about the world, why did he reveal his wealth, didn't he understand that the more wealth he had, the more enemies he would attract?
However, Liang Lidong didn't bother to care about other people's affairs, he looked at the box, and then said: "We don't care about the gold coins, but in the treasure house of the Brooke family, there is a piece of armor, can you give it to us?" ”
Iza was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What kind of armor?" ”
Emma stepped forward and described, "It was a piece of white armor, a bit like crystal, but it was made of steel. It also has a Fire Emblem on its chest. ”
Iza thought for a while, as if he remembered what the armor was, and he said in embarrassment: "We in the Brooke family, there is indeed such a piece of armor, but it is our family heirloom, and it is not suitable for takeaway, nor should it be given away. ”
"Wise people don't speak secret words." Liang Lidong said with a smile: "We know who the real owner of that armor is, and your family is at most helping to take care of it." If you don't plan to give it to us, and you don't plan to sell it to us, then after a while, we may use some unnecessary means. ”
Threats, many times, are counterproductive. But Liang Lidong's threat is different, because of the 'aristocratic temperament' talent, he speaks lightly, but the impact is very strong, and the most important thing is that the Brooke family has just recovered from the shadow of nature's wrath, and the departure of nature's wrath is because the young man in front of him, even if he gives them ten guts, Izza does not dare to go to Liang Lidong immediately at this moment to turn his face.
Of course, his face also became quite unsightly at this time.
It's just that for a qualified nobleman, the face can be thrown away when necessary. Izza was gloomy for less than five seconds before he burst into a hearty laugh: "Okay, no problem. I can give you that armor, but you have to do something for me accordingly. ”
Liang Lidong made a gesture: "Please speak." ”
"Those two elves on the street died so strangely that I suspect they're being used against our Brooke family." Iza said with a little annoyance: "It is because of this incident that our city of Sicilia has become what it is now, and if we want to rebuild this place and restore it to its previous prosperity, it will not be possible in a few years." ”
"We Brooke can't bear it. I'd like to ask you to help me find out which organization or force killed those two elves, and tell me when I find them, and our Brooke family will take revenge ourselves. When this is over, I will not only give you the armor, but also the two thousand gold coins. ”
This is a pretty good reward, and Liang Lidong saw the task prompt given by the system:
Help the Brooke family find the real culprit who framed them, the target is still in Sicilian City, and leave after four days, if you can't complete it within four days, the mission will fail.
The elite task completed yesterday gave Liang Lidong nearly half of the experience required for the current level, and now this task is an important task, and the other levels are lower than the elite task, but after completion, you can still get a lot of character experience.
Liang Lidong naturally would not give up any opportunity to complete the task of the system, he replied: "There is no problem, but you had better be mentally prepared, I have a hunch that the organization that framed you this time is definitely very powerful." ”
Iza nodded, "I understand. ”
After that, they left the Brooke family, and when they walked through the glittering manor path again, Liang Lidong wanted to take these gold bricks away, but finally gave up, after all, these gold bricks have owners. ”
After leaving the manor, Emma asked, "Lord Beta, why do we want to help him, we still have a lot of things to do now, even ourselves." ”
"If you don't agree, you can't do it." Liang Lidong sighed: "I thought there would be no war here, I have many ways to make money, but because of the urban riots, now the chefs who have a little strength have gone to the big restaurants to become chefs, and other businesses are not very profitable,"
The two of them were about to walk out of Brooke's Zhuangyuan, but at this moment, a young man appeared at the door, he wore a rectangular sleeve and said, "Take those two people down, try not to hurt the woman." ”
