078 It's like seeing it for the first time
The middle-aged fat man Gavin is one of the head snakes in Winterwind City, although his control of the city is certainly not as good as that of the city lord Uther, but he is also a pioneer sent by the Althea family, and he attaches great importance to intelligence. Even if the work of casting a net of intelligence is not as good as that of the Killer Guild City Lord's Mansion, it is not a strange thing to occasionally have some information on special small details.
Seeing that Liang Lidong became interested, he said: "But that place is a little sensitive, it is an important place in my clan, you can't go there alone, you have to take you there...... Of course, if Your Excellency adopts some informal means, I will be helpless. ”
Under normal circumstances, Liang Lidong is really likely to use his ability to secretly check, after all, some sensitive places are generally not open to outsiders. But when the middle-aged fat man said this, Liang Lidong could only say: "Then please take me over to have a look, after all, now that the necromancer already knows that we are looking for him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make any exaggerated moves, without further ado." ”
The middle-aged fat man smiled slightly: "Then there will be no problem." I'm going back, just in time to pick up my loved ones. Although my clan guards are not bad, there is no way to protect the assassins from the eyes of them. But there is one thing I would like you to agree to. ”
"Please."
"That place is a relatively important place for my people." The middle-aged fat man's round white face was piled with a kind smile: "So if you see something strange later, please don't care about it, and don't spread it." All right? ”
"Of course." Liang Lidong nodded.
Gavin, the middle-aged fat man, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you then." ”
On the surface, the middle-aged fat man was 'begging' Liang Lidong, but in essence, the latter understood very well that he owed the fat man a favor. People who are good at socializing can convey their meaning invisibly and without a trace, and will not be annoying. The fat man said that it was a very important place in his family, and Liang Lidong still had to go over, and the other party agreed, so this is a favor.
Some people send favors very 'straight', and although the people who receive them accept the favor, they are a little resistant. And this fat man is different, his favor is very 'tactful', and the person who receives it will be very comfortable whether he is willing to admit it or not. Many people who are able to do not look down on 'social', but in essence, the essence of social networking is an art of speaking.
It is not without reason and consideration that the Hibiscus family sent this fat man as a pioneering member.
After negotiating the matter, the fat man took a few of his clan guards, led Liang Lidong, and rode out of the castle in a carriage. Although the atmosphere on Liang Lidong's side is very tense at present, not only is there the great enemy of the Temple of Life, but there is also a necromancer dormant, and it is very likely that he will lose everything. But for ordinary people, there is no difference between the days and the past, the open and secret battles between the Temple of Life and the City Lord's Mansion are just the remnants of their private gossip, as for the matter of the necromancer, they are unlikely to know, as long as people with a little common sense understand that once this matter spreads, it will cause a lot of shock to the safe and secure life of Winter Wind City.
People in the streets still come and go, shouting for business and haggling. The fat man Gavin lifted the car window, poked his head out, looked at the lively street scene outside, and said in a calm voice: "Sometimes I envy these ordinary people, at least they don't have to think too much about things, as long as they don't challenge authority, as long as they think about how to fill their stomachs, they can live a peaceful life without much pressure." Unlike those of us, not to mention the open and secret battles between nobles, sometimes you have to consider the overall situation, and you live under this pressure every day, and live really hard? ”
Liang Lidong looked at each other: "Why did you suddenly say this to me." ”
The fat man lowered the curtains of the car, sat up straight and said, "Your Excellency Beta must have become an ascetic because he didn't like the seemingly decadent but stressful life of the aristocracy." ”
"I'm not a nobleman...... Liang Lidong pondered for a moment before he said, "At least not a nobleman like you." ”
The fat man smiled: "I know that I am different from us decadent aristocrats, you should have your own pursuits. In fact, I also want to be like you, leaving everything in my family behind and becoming a free mercenary, or a believer in the Divine Mansion. But it can't be, I was born in the Hibiscus family, and the family is very good to us, and since I have enjoyed the care, then I have the obligation to pay for the family. I'm going to wait until I've done something to think about it. ”
This nobleman is not another nobleman, the fat man Gavin misunderstood something very subtly, but Liang Lidong didn't plan to explain, he said: "If I'm not mistaken, the Hibiscus family should have a clan old system." Unlike other aristocratic families, the patriarch decides all the affairs of the family. ”
"Yes." The fat man nodded, the characteristics of the Hibiscus family are completely different from other nobles, as long as they know a little about them, they will have heard of this old clan system: "Although it is a disadvantage of the old clan system that is a little slow to deal with things, it is undeniable that he has more advantages." The clan system is the foundation of our hibiscus family's foothold in the aristocratic forest. ”
Liang Lidong let out a long sigh, he remembered the concept of the clan elder system, which he told the Dina brothers and sisters, and they did establish the clan elder system in the game, and it was the same in reality. It seems that there must be a deep connection between the game and reality.
Gavin saw that Liang Lidong was contemplating, smiled, and did not disturb him. After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a large manor, and several guards at the gate of the manor rushed over and helped the carriage open the door. The farm is very large, with a grassy lawn and many apple trees in the south garden, and a few small animals such as cats and dogs playing in the lawn and between the trees.
At the end of the winding stone path is a large two-story wooden house, the outhouse painted pale gold and the wooden door lavender.
Pushing open the wooden door and entering, I saw a young man and a girl sitting opposite each other in the main hall, the young man was dancing and saying something, and the girl covered her mouth and smiled, looking very happy.
Hearing a movement next to him, the two turned around at the same time, and when the young man saw the fat man, he stood up and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Gavin, I've been waiting for you here for a while." ”
The girl ran over and took the fat man's hand, called her father sweetly, and then fell on Liang Lidong with curiosity.
Gavin looked at the young man and smiled: "Your Excellency Darwin, I'm glad you can come to me as a guest, but I know that your mind is not on me, so the polite words will be excused, I still have some things to deal with, you are in charge of the reception by Tina, don't blame me for not knowing how to be hospitable." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the boys and girls turned red together.
Liang Lidong's gaze stayed on the girl's face for a while, and he was even in a trance. This girl is indeed good-looking, but this is not the reason why Liang Lidong looks at her a few more times, but because this girl named Tina looks very much like Dinah...... However, it is not strange that the two are of the same ancestor, the same bloodline, and they look similar.
Gavin turned his head to Liang Lidong and said, "Your Excellency Beta, please wait here for a while, I'll go up and get some things and come down." ”
Liang Lidong nodded, and after Gavin went upstairs, he sat down on the side.
Originally, the atmosphere in this living room was filled with a sweet smell, but at this time, with the addition of Liang Lidong's light bulb, the atmosphere immediately became awkward. However, these two people are the children of nobles and are very good at socializing, they quickly put their minds right, and the young man named Darwin even took the initiative to take two steps forward, sat down very close to Liang Lidong and asked: "I heard His Excellency Gavin say just now, your name is Beta?" ”
Liang Lidong nodded.
"Red Priest Beta?"
Liang Lidong continued to nod, the young man took a light breath of cold air, and Tina was also surprised at this time. However, there is a difference in the surprise of the two, the boy is almost in a state of 'horror', while the girl Tina is 'curious' in surprise.
Thanks to the gratuitous publicity of the 'Mercenary Guild', Liang Lidong's reputation in Winter Wind City is not much lower than that of the city lord Uther. Darwin's white face was full of adoration: "Lord Beta doesn't look much older than us, but he is already such a powerful spellcaster, it's really enviable!" ”
The girl Tina also nodded again and again, the strong will be respected no matter where they are.
Liang Lidong looked at the two of them, he smiled at Darwin and said, "Any strength can only be possessed by one's own efforts, you don't care about it for ......the time being" He turned his gaze to Tina, and then said in a strange tone: "You have the talent to become a powerful paladin, why don't you try to work hard?" ”
Then Tina's eyes widened and froze, and then she raised a finger to her face, full of surprise!
