52. The Arrival of the Envoy [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Shawn doesn't know much about Lonnis's situation, but Rudshawn thinks he's probably going to surrender.
After thinking about it, Sean drove "probably" out of his mind again and replaced it with "definitely".
Because Ruud has no way out.
If he does not surrender, then his family will return to the pre-liberation period overnight, and at least the value of his father's life will be in vain. No matter what Rude thinks, as long as he still wants his family to continue to inherit and develop, then he can only choose to surrender.
In Sean's plan, Mordeg was not in the plan.
But because of Elsie's business, Sean also took advantage of the situation. Judging from the current results, this is not bad, at least the initiative of the script is back in his hands again, but Sean is still a little worried about Elsie, after all, Sean sees a lot of strange things in his eyes, and he knows too well what it will be like when a person is very desperate to have power.
However, everyone has the right to choose their own way of life and path, so Sean didn't stop Elsie.
In fact, Sean was only interested in Lonnis, because if he was not mistaken, he developed the most famous shock shield and armor armor that would later be famous. The appearance of these two pieces of equipment has changed the old military pattern of the entire Miracle Continent, not only raising the military strength of the entire continent to a higher level, but also promoting the emergence of a group of new outstanding generals.
However, Lonnis's greatest achievement is that he was the first to propose a combination of magic technology and equipment. In fact, this idea of his was quickly put into practice - the birth of the impact shield is the best proof of this, and it is precisely because of this milestone development that the forged weapon will be upgraded to a magic weapon. Sean's blacksmith crafting list contains more than half of the magic weapon blueprints, but all of them are now dark black. In some kind of "sealed" state.
He knew that this was because the scientific and technological power of this world world had not yet reached the corresponding level, so it had not been unlocked at present.
It is precisely because Sean knows about Lonnis's talent and ability that it is even more impossible for him to let Lonis go easily. Choosing to consume his will along the way is largely due to this consideration, after all, Lonis is not like people like Rena and Alfred, who are easy to recover for various reasons, he is a big nobleman himself, and he is also very valued, and his own ability is not weak. Therefore, if he does not wear off his sharpness and arrogance, Sean finds it difficult to recruit such people under his command.
However, judging from the current situation, Lonnis probably hasn't really made up his mind to join him. But even if he joins, Sean feels that with Lonnis's identity, he will definitely not become a person under his command. He will probably only maintain some kind of alliance relationship with himself, which makes Sean a little regretful.
As for Ruud. Sean didn't pay much attention to it at first. It was only because William said that he saw through the strategic importance of Modeg's Collar that Sean paid attention to it. Later, he learned the true situation of the Viscount Rudd, and naturally discovered some of the exploits of the Viscount, so Sean included Viscount Ruud in his plan.
At the very least, if Ruud was willing to join his side, he could save a lot of trouble.
After leaving Lonnis's house. Sean did not return to the barracks, but to his home in White Dove Town.
Cecilia has been living here for a long time, mainly because the Black Swan Castle is too dilapidated. And it looks deserted, not very suitable for people. For Cecilia, Sean is indeed very spoiled, so he soon let people bring some of Cecilia's belongings, in a sense, today's Black Swan Castle is just a status symbol for Sean in addition to sacrifice.
"Coming back?" Hearing the door open, Cecilia poked her head out of the corner of the kitchen.
I don't know what Cecilia is tossing, her white little face is a little black, and he seems to have wiped it with his hands, and as a result, he stroked east and west, like a flower cat. Sean couldn't help laughing, picked up a towel casually, wet it and wiped Cecilia's face, but the little guy was not honest at all, yelling and hurting her, and then punched and kicked Sean again, but it was soft and really didn't have much strength.
"Alright, alright." Sean washed the towel and glanced at the messy tools thrown in the kitchen, including pans and cauldrons, but they were basically burnt, and there were still ingredients on a few plates on one side that could no longer distinguish the original appearance, and the appearance similar to coke really made people wonder what these things were, "Can you eat these things you cook?" ”
"Dang, of course you can eat it!" Cecilia snorted, a little unconvinced, "I don't believe you try it!" ”
Sean glanced at Coke, and then at Cecilia, who looked a little expectant, and his heart was quite entangled. These things are already like this, they must not taste good, and if you don't know it, you may get a serious illness, he used to be on Earth once "lucky" to taste the food made by the chief priest of the guild, and then he went to the hospital for a week.
During his hospitalization, the president visited him and gave him a certificate with three words written on it.
True heroes.
Later, Sean developed a good habit of not eating casually.
It's just that in the face of Cecilia's eyes, Sean finally couldn't help it and reached out to get a piece of coke. But what he didn't expect was that the index finger and middle finger had just touched, and the coke was completely shattered and turned directly into charcoal ash, and Sean was really dumbfounded at this moment.
Cecilia's face turned red, and she quickly reached out and grabbed all the plates and dumped them all into the trash.
Obviously, she has finally come to the face of the fact that these things are really inedible.
But he looked a lot more depressed.
Sean patted Cecilia's head lightly and said comfortingly, "It's normal to have this result in the first attempt at cooking, you see, at least you didn't burn the house down...... Well, I mean you didn't set the kitchen on fire. I used to know a priest who was almost ready to be pope, but every time he cooked. But it's going to burn down an entire house. ”
"Liar." Cecilia pursed her lips, faintly showing signs of tears.
"Hey, it's just a small failure, you just take it as an encouragement, and you can work hard in the future, even if you are a genius in this world, you need to learn before you understand." Sean picked Cecilia up, and then he found that Cecilia was no longer something he could hug casually if he wanted to, the girl's body had begun to develop, and her height had obviously grown a lot. It's almost 1.6 meters, which is a distress for Sean.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, we won't go out to eat at night, I'll process all the ingredients you have left, and get a fried rice for you to eat."
"Fried rice? What is that? Cecilia was supposed to be picked up by Sean. It's a little embarrassing, but at the moment I hear the new term "fried rice". Attention is diverted. "Can you still eat rice when it's fried?"
"Of course." Sean carried Cecilia to the table and put her down, then turned and walked to the kitchen, "Wait and see, you're guaranteed to like these things." ”
"I thought you would only make chowder."
"Hmph, let you underestimate me."
After that, Sean quickly washed rice and cooked rice. At the same time, Cecilia's leftover meat was slightly processed and marinated, and then three eggs were beaten, but because of personal preference, Sean did not prepare vegetables.
Originally, the best rice ingredient for fried rice was overnight rice. It's just that there isn't one right now, so I can only settle for a while. So Sean used some kind of special means to make the cooked rice cool down quickly - anyway, in this magical world, almost anything. Compared with the making of chowder, fried rice is actually the simplest dish for Sean, so in only about half an hour, Sean served two servings of golden fried rice.
This was Cecilia's first time seeing fried rice, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
She carefully scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon, and then took it into her mouth as if she had made some great determination, and the next moment, Cecilia's eyes widened in disbelief: "It's delicious!" …… It tastes great! ”
"Hey, that's a must." Sean looked at Cecilia who was smiling again, and suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in his heart.
Cecilia, who was actually quite picky about food, quickly finished the fried rice that night, and at the same time occupied the portion that originally belonged to Sean. This is the first time Sean has seen Cecilia's appetite so good, so of course he won't refuse, but what Sean didn't expect was that Cecilia was completely obsessed with fried rice, and he had to pester Sean to cook it for him almost every day, and at the same time he began to go to the market in White Pigeon Town to buy a lot of meat and eggs, and changed his way to ask Sean to make him all kinds of golden fried rice.
Originally, Sean made fried rice just out of some nostalgia, but as a result, he ate fried rice for seven days in a row, and Sean already had a feeling that he wanted to vomit when he saw fried rice. But he couldn't understand why Cecilia would never get tired of such a dish as fried rice. And it's clear that her appetite has grown a lot when she eats fried rice, which is something that Sean is very puzzling.
On this day, when Sean finished cooking fried rice for Cecilia again, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Cecilia was stunned for a moment before she got up and ran to open the door.
She and Sean both figured out that as long as they stayed in this house, then unless there was something urgent in the territory that Sean needed to deal with and decide, no one would bother them. And the townspeople in the town are also afraid of Sean, so naturally no one will come to visit Sean, so the only explanation is that William or Neil has something to do with him.
Soon, the door opened, and standing outside it was Rena.
"What's going on?" Seeing Rena come to him in person, Sean immediately realized that something must be wrong.
"The envoys of the Boulder family have arrived, and they are currently in the barracks, and William asked me to come to you immediately." Rena greeted Cecilia in a friendly manner, and then looked up at Sean and said, "The other party asked to see Lonnis and Ruud by name, but William didn't agree, saying that he had to wait for your nod." Now that the envoys are on the side of the barracks, please hurry up, my lord. ”
Hearing Rena's words, Sean only remembered that he had been a little dizzy by Cecilia in the past few days, and he actually forgot to go to Ruud and Lonis to ask about the results of their considerations. If you want to ask again at this moment, it is obviously too late, so Sean can only prepare for the worst, anyway, the territory of Lonis and Ruud, Sean will never spit out. (To be continued.) )
