Chapter 985: The Old Dog's Counterattack

Just because of Klein's words, the City of Analms is in chaos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

After leaving the palace, the Marquis of Topney Hogmann hurried home in a carriage, and as soon as he got home he found his lover and child.

Seeing that his lover was still in the mood to bask in the sun and drink tea leisurely in the yard, watching his son and daughter riding horses by the lake, the Marquis of Hogmann suddenly choked with anger: "When is it, you are still so leisurely!?" ”

"Honey, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Hogman was so anxious, Lady Hogman was a little overwhelmed: "Is there something that happened in the palace today?" ”

"What happened?"

The Marquis of Hogman suddenly raised his tone: "I almost can't leave the palace today!" ”

There was a crisp "snap", the exquisite crystal cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and Mrs. Hogman's face was pale and she said helplessly: "Could it be that our relationship with the South has been discovered!?" ”

"Judging from today's reaction, Klein should have known about our relationship with the Irus Empire for a long time."

Hogman's face sank like water, and he took a teacup and poured a few sips, before he had time to take a breath: "I'm so thirsty, I haven't drunk a sip of water in the morning!" ”

"Slow down, tell me what's going on today?"

"Jean is here today."

"Jean? Which Jean? ”

"Which one else could it be? Lord of the Silver City! Legendary Hero Master Jean! ”

The Marquis of Hogman said angrily: "Klein, that fool blinded by ambition, he actually turned his face with Master Jean on the spot! ”

"Shhhh

Mrs. Hogman took a breath of cold air and was shocked to speak.

Is that a famous legendary mage, or the master of the Silver City, a hero who will be respected by any human race or race, and Klein actually turned his face against him!?

"If only that's it, Jean is a hero after all, and he won't be as knowledgeable as him."

Hogman looked at the handsome son and beautiful daughter riding on horseback by the lake, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "The most important thing is that the matter of Lothermar City has been exposed, and today the Bishops Thatcher and Jean of the Holy See of Light found Klein for the purpose of solving the matter of Lossmar City!" ”

"That's a good thing."

Mrs. Hogman didn't quite understand why such a good thing would make Klein so angry.

"That's why you women have long hair and short knowledge! The current situation in Lossmar City was caused by Klein's poor rule and negligence, so after it was exposed, it was too complicated to explain to you. ”

The Marquis of Hogman was angry when he saw his wife's confused look, and he didn't know how to explain the complicated relationship to her.

"All in all, you just need to know that the Holy See of Light and the Silver City know about the city of Lothermar, and they also offered to help, asking for the settlement of the city's affairs, which is very bad news for Klein."

Dealing with the city of Lothermar is a good thing for the civilians, even for the adventurers, and even for the citizens of the Solant Kingdom, but it is very bad news for Klein.

"I see, but I still don't understand why you're in such a hurry......"

"If it's just the above situation, of course, there's no need to worry, but, it's ......."

Marquis Hogman lowered his voice and said, "But His Majesty Klein is determined to die, and he has decided to ambush the reinforcements of the Holy See of Light and the Silver City in Lothermar!" ”

"Huh!?"

Mrs. Hogman covered her mouth and exclaimed, looking at her husband in disbelief: "Is he crazy!?" ”

Isn't that crazy!?

Even Hogman felt incredible, where did Klein get the courage to be the enemy of the Holy See of Light and the Silver City at the same time!?

What is his secret weapon against the Pope and the Holy Maiden? Or is there another legendary powerhouse who can rival Jean as a backer?

If he can't defeat Jean in strength, why should he fight Jean!?

Even if an ambush could destroy the mage forces of the Templars and Silver City in an instant, what would he use to appease Jean's anger?

He could even destroy the entire kingdom of Sorant single-handedly!

The fury of a legendary mage is terrifying just to think about!

"The Kingdom of Solant is in danger, we can't stay here any longer."

Marquis Hogman said in a low voice: "Take advantage of these two days, sell your property, fields, houses, gold, silver and jewels as soon as possible, and deposit the money in the Star Diamond Bank, you take the children and servants to the south, I will contact Her Royal Highness Princess Aurelia as soon as possible, and she will send someone to welcome you into the Irus Empire." ”

Only then did Mrs. Hogman realize the danger of the situation, and immediately shook her husband's hand, and burst into tears: "What about you? ”

"Me? I can't leave yet, and if I do, I'm afraid Klein will catch up and kill us all before the Templars arrive. ”

Marquis Hogman smiled bitterly, "So I have to stay here until Klein goes to ambush the Templars near the city of Lothermar before I have a chance to leave here." ”

"Wasn't it dangerous at that time?"

"Danger is certainly dangerous, but at least it won't be a mortal situation."

Marquis Hogman sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not just me now, but the rest of the people in Song City who have received the news have also started to act...... Klein, Klein, one sentence wiped out all his decades of hard work! ”

As the Marquis of Hogmann had predicted, not only him, but even the Marquis of Caton, who had returned home, had to make preparations at this moment.

Even though his daughter is married to Klein, he has no better cards to play, but that doesn't mean he has to put all his hopes in Klein.

Duke Caton hurriedly found the butler and couldn't wait to ask, "How has my investment in the Illus Empire been paying off recently?" ”

The white-haired butler took out the account book and looked at it, and said, "Very good, Lord Duke, last month, the net profit of our Chamber of Commerce after deducting various costs was 4,482 gold coins. ”

Speaking of this, the butler said with a little regret: "But now that the Illuth Empire has fully switched to paper money, we can't see the heavy gold coins." ”

Forty or fifty banknotes a month don't seem to have a stronger visual impact than forty or fifty packs of gold coins.

"Just over 4,000 gold coins?"

Duke Caton said very dissatisfied: "I remember that you promised me that you would be able to earn more than 10,000 gold coins a month before I handed over that money to you to take care of. ”

The butler smiled bitterly: "Lord Duke, I promised it so, but I didn't expect that in the Ilrus Empire, the power of the Tang Chamber of Commerce would be so huge!" In that country, almost all industries are about to be monopolized by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. ”

"If you want to make money, you can only engage in the industry related to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, processing spare parts for them is the most stable way to make money, but there are too many competitors, and we can't get the qualifications at all with our qualifications, not to mention that our identity is also more sensitive, and it is inconvenient to participate in the competition, so it is rare to maintain such a profit now......

Duke Caton waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't listen to the explanation, all in all, you didn't fulfill your promise and promised you that the bonus bonus was canceled." ”

The butler's face froze: "But Lord Duke—"

"No, but, you're just a dog of our Caton family, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me!?"

Duke Caton said coldly: "Now I order you to transfer the wealth on your family's books to the manor on the side of the Illuth Empire as soon as possible, and as soon as possible, get rid of several of my farms and processing factories in the Solant Kingdom and realize them, I hope to see the results within three days." ”

"Three days!? That's impossible! ”

The housekeeper exclaimed: "Even if you find a seller, it is not something that can be done in three days, if you want to sell it at a good price, it will take at least a month!" ”

"I'm only giving you three days, and the selling price can't be lower than the market average."

Duke Caton's eyes were cold, and he said flatly: "If you can't finish your life, don't ask for it." ”

This is to force yourself to die!

The white-haired housekeeper felt miserable in his heart, he had been loyal to the Caton family all his life, how could he find such a master?

Duke Caton turned around and left after giving the order, and as for how the butler would complete the order, it was not something he considered.

The old butler stood there alone, his back looking particularly miserable.

He didn't know how to fulfill Duke Caton's order, the Caton family's estates were all common orchards, and the output was mainly for wineries to make wine, there were too many such orchards in the Solant Kingdom, and it was already difficult to find buyers, let alone not lower than the market price, even more difficult.

Even if you want to sell Duke Caton's face, someone has to be willing to take over!

If Duke Caton now announces that he will dispose of the family's fixed assets, I am afraid that the first person to come will not be the one who will take over the situation, but the person who will come to inquire about the news - there must be a reason for such a big move!

The old housekeeper looked at the luxurious hall in a daze, he had worked hard all his life, but there was no brick and tile here, he had been busy for so many years, what did he get?

Suddenly, a crazy thought popped up uncontrollably in the old butler's heart.

This idea is so crazy that it even makes the old butler feel that he is suddenly crazy!

A voice in my heart said that this is looking for death!

But another voice said that if you don't do this, it's a dead end, so why don't you fight your own rotten life and leave something for your wife and children?

The old butler gritted his teeth, straightened his somewhat rickety waist, and walked out of the gate of the Caton family against the sun.

Let Duke Caton taste my old dog's counterattack before he dies!

People, no matter how cheap their lives are, must be dignified!
