Chapter 498 (derailment) and the council's big move

After the excitement, Henry soon regained his senses. He gently wiped Amelia's body, then covered herself with the quilt and left the mage tower alone in an easy wheelchair. As the number of (lovers) increases, he has a hunch that the number of children he will have in the future will not be too small, and he may have the hope of surpassing the Lord of the Ghost City, Telamant. Tanshuer, as long as he is carefully cultivated, will definitely be able to become his good helper in the future.

Of course, I can only think about it now, and it will take at least a few decades to really reach the kind of Cheng dΓΉ of the Yin Soul Prince. You must know that one of the main reasons why there has been no civil strife in the Ghost City for so many years is the strength of Teramante itself, as well as his legendary sons.

As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. More than half of the high-level spellcasters in Yin Soul City are their own sons, how can the political situation be unstable in this situation, I am afraid that as long as someone dares to show the slightest sign of rebellion, they will be immediately suppressed by several legendary spellcasters.

Envious of the Shadow City Lord, Henry used his teleportation magic to return to the Elatan Mansion. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his teammates sitting around the sofa, and you comforted Kaidong with a sad face. You don't need to ask to know that this paladin uncle must have found out that his wife was cheating after returning home and came here to ask for help.

"Hey! You're back! Come and think of a way, Kaidon is in big trouble. As he spoke, Ammon stood up and waved. The expression on her face was quite tangled, and she didn't know why.

"What the hell is going on? Let's hear it. Henry asked, pushing his wheelchair to the middle. Although he already knew what was going on. But you still have to pretend to ask, otherwise it is easy to make others suspicious.

Kaidong sighed slightly, and explained with a bitter face: "Here's the thing. When I got home yesterday afternoon, my wife, Maria, suddenly started complaining, and upon inquiry, I found out that she was talking to a woman named William. Thorpe's out-of-town aristocratic date. I can't believe it! I actually suffered the most shameful betrayal! Damn it! The thought of it made me feel so angry that I wanted to take them both to court. ”

Seeing the angry appearance of the old holy warrior in front of him, Henry shook his head slightly and persuaded: "Calm down, my friend, this matter is not as bad as you think. Maybe you should think about it calmly. How long has it been since I've been home? Failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and father. As your wife, Maria is terrified every day, so it's not surprising that she's looking for spiritual comfort. Now all you have to do is try to calm it down, not make it known. ”

"I understand...... I understand......" Caton kept repeating the phrase while covering his face. He also realized that he had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. So it became very frustrating. There was even a little remorse.

"Nope. You don't get it. Look at this dejected expression, what needs to be done now is to redeem, not give up. Go find this William in person. Thorpe talks. Regardless of the end result, at least you've tried. ”

For this kind of family ethics and other rhetoric, Henry can be said to come out of his mouth, and he is also a set of things. However, once this kind of thing falls on his head, he will definitely not hesitate to arrest that man first, torture him with all kinds of torture, and finally take his soul to feed the demon.

But this set is clearly not suitable for the Paladin. Just look at Kaidong's current appearance, there is not even the slightest intention to take revenge on the other party in private, and the most ferocious method is only to use legal means. After so many years, the concept of order has penetrated into his soul, and no matter how angry and impulsive he is, it is impossible to do anything too out of the ordinary.

You must know that cheating on this continent is a very common thing, from kings and queens to ordinary people, more or less personally experienced or seen what happened to the people around them. Especially the aristocracy in developed areas is simply a mess, and in some places it even happens between close relatives, such as brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, and so on.

Generally speaking, most families do not make a public statement, and secretly make some kind of agreement in private. Some people will take out a large amount of money as hush money, and some people choose not to interfere with each other, you look for your (mistress), I look for my face. Of course, there are some strong guys who will choose to kill people to vent their anger.

Kaidong lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, then suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "You're right! Running away won't solve anything. I'll go to the Fog Lodge in the mall now to talk to Sir William, and then I'll go back and ask Maria if she still loves me. ”

"That's right, that's it, my friend. Go ahead, I'm sure the whole thing will end up with a happy ending. As he spoke, Henry patted Uncle Paladin on the shoulder encouragingly. He can only help this now, and let a few parties solve the rest of the matter.

"Thank you for your help, and if it ends perfectly, I will come back with my wife and two daughters." After saying that, Kaidong stood up and walked out without looking back.

Looking at his distant back, Hina sighed: "I really didn't expect that a person who gave everything for justice would have to suffer family misfortune in his later years, the world is really unfair." ”

"Good will surely triumph over evil, and the guru will surely defeat the villain who destroys other people's families." Seile Leph said with an angry face. In her eyes, I'm afraid that all guys who cheat outside of marriage should go to the gallows.

Hearing the Holy Warrior Maiden's speech, Yao En pursed his lips disdainfully: "That's not necessarily, you must know that women are very emotional, and their choices are usually unexpected." Lisa had said she would love me alone, but she ended up marrying a murderous thief leader. ”

"Who is Lisa? You don't think you've ever mentioned it before? There was a hint of curiosity on Ammon's face.

"Uh...... She's my ex-girlfriend, but she's married and has children now. After saying this, Yao En's eyes flashed a trace of decline. It is clear that time has not made him forget his old love.

Looking at this group of teammates with all kinds of problems, Henry couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Just when he was counting on something. The butler suddenly walked in briskly and shouted, "Duke, someone just sent a few boxes, saying that they were paid to you. ”

"Oh? Who and why didn't they come in? Henry asked, a little curiously. He knew that this should be the reward for participating in the encirclement and suppression of the demon of the heart, but it seemed a bit abnormal that the other party didn't even enter the door.

"I don't know, one of them asked me to pass this letter on to you." As he spoke, the butler took out the envelope, which was stamped with the seal of the Council of Six, representing Am's supreme power.

Henry's face changed slightly, and he immediately took it and took it for a closer look, and then was startled by the contents. I saw that it was written in the standard lingua franca:

"Your Excellency, Duke. Thank you very much for the city in recent times. A great threat from the Mind Flayer infiltrators. We're going to have a joint operation at midnight today, and there may be some riots, so don't worry too much about it. Also, I hope you and your teammates stay inside tonight. It is best not to appear on the street unless necessary. So as not to misunderstand. ”

No doubt. The council is in earnest this time. It is very likely that the Masked Mage Guild, the Shadow Thieves, the major temples, and the Knights are involved in it, and anyone who is involved in the Mind Flayer will be arrested and investigated one by one. Until you catch all the Mind Flayers lurking inside.

After reading the letter, Henry raised his head and said solemnly to all the people present: "After dark, one is counted as one, and no one is allowed to leave this mansion. ”

"Why?" Ammon was the first to jump out and ask. She had always been very active, and liked to spend an hour or two in the nearby tavern after dark, listening to the bizarre adventures told by travelers from north to south.

"Remember the leather we found yesterday at the underground base? The Council intends to make arrests according to the list above, and it will do so tonight. To be on the safe side, everyone must stay in their room after dinner. ”

Henry deliberately said this sentence categorically, and there was no room for negotiation at all. He knew very well that both Aimeng and Yao En often sneaked out in the middle of the night, and usually just turned a blind eye and that's it, but now it definitely can't.

When Yao En heard the news, he immediately let out a miserable scream and complained loudly: "Damn! Tonight's business is going to be ruined again. This group of bureaucrats will toss around blindly if they have nothing to do! ”

"Well, don't keep staring at the penny. It just so happened that someone sent me the reward for the last mission, so let's take it and share it. As he spoke, Henry winked at the butler.

The latter immediately understood, and waved his hand to the servant waiting at the door, and soon a few hardwood chests were carried in. He opened all the lids with his own hands, and saw that all but a box of black and purple stones, which looked a bit like gems or something, were all gold coins. It's about 30,000 gold coins, although it's not as much as last time, but considering that it's with a large army, it's already quite rich.

Yao En was dazzled by the golden light. He gripped the coin frantically and smirked, "Hahahahaha! Gold! Gold! I love these little golden things. ”

Henry didn't pay attention to the mad dwarf, but picked up a black, shiny stone and looked at it closely. Obviously, the temple and the council would never send anything too ordinary, and it is likely that these stones had some special purpose.

Just as he was about to use the spell to detect, the butler hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "Duke, these are all specialties of the Aztec continent, obsidian. This crate is about one-tenth of the annual production of Am's overseas colonies, which is probably a rather terrifying figure when converted into gold coins. ”

"Obsidian? No wonder it's so smooth. Henry's face showed surprise as well. He really didn't expect that the council would give such a generous gift. You must know that because the transportation is not very convenient, the price of the specialty products of the Aztec continent has soared more than sixty times in terms of Ferron, not to mention that obsidian is still a pretty good alchemy material.
