Ethan returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a gloomy face.

After locking himself in the study, Ethan angrily pushed everything on the desk to the ground before taking a few breaths. Clenched his fist and hammered it on the table, hammering his knuckles red and painful, and Ethan's anger was half relieved.

Mato stood hesitantly in the doorway, staring at the old butler, and then heard Ethan call him in. Mato pushed open the door, looked at the messy ground, and was silent.

"Mr. Matto, why didn't you do it just now. You are the city guards, the official guards of the Empire. Alan, those people don't dare touch yours unless they want to be wanted! Ethan slapped the table hard and said, "Don't you see their arrogant faces?" I'm the lord of the city, I'm Baron Ethan. I just asked them to disclose the technology of the weapons, and I didn't give them a charge of possession of weapons, which is already very generous! ”

"Of course, you are not only generous, but also kind." Mato organized the wording before he said, "Everyone is reluctant to do anything, because they defeated the demon last night. My lord, we lost a lot of brothers last night. Without Allen, the loss would have more than doubled. Everyone was thinking of their helping hand last night, not afraid of them. ”

Hearing Mato say this, Ethan was a little relieved. He shook his head and said, "No, you can't let these strangers do whatever they want. Otherwise, I, the city lord, will be threatened by them. ”

"What's your plan, sir?"

Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, "I want you to find someone to send a letter to Ser Maud in Storm City." Let's just say that my uncle's death has something to do with them. But I alone cannot execute them, so let Ser Maud give us some help. ”

Mato was stunned and said, "My lord, that will affect Miss." ”

Nilou is already Edward's legal wife, and once Edward is revealed to be the murderer of Baron York, Nilou will be dragged into the water. Ethan smiled, "It's okay, before that, I will arrange for her to divorce Edward." Their union is just a game. ”

"That's it, Matto, can I trust you?"

Looking at Issan's slightly crazy eyes, Mato lowered his head: "I swore to defend Sur City to the death, and I will do it as long as it is beneficial to Sur City!" ”

"Very well, you go and feature a suitable person."

"Yes, sir."

Mato left the City Lord's Mansion with a solemn look in his eyes. Ethan didn't notice that he had only said defending the city of Sur, but he had only mentioned Ethan's name. As if he had made up his mind, Mato called a soldier and said, "Go and tell Mr. Sù Edward, I want to meet him at the bar in the evening." ”

The soldier nodded, and Mato glanced at the City Lord's Mansion from afar, sighed, and left.

After seeing Edward off, Alan returned to the living room, where the tin box was still in its place. He opened the box, and Shiro was sleeping inside. The heart had already entered its belly, and the white body was noticeably a few points larger than before. There were wisps of crimson luster flowing between the snow-white scales, and some of the scales were even falling off. After eating that heart, Shiro obviously began to evolve, but Alan didn't know how long it would take for this evolution to take.

Tomorrow he and Caesar will return to the Asa Mountains, so naturally he can't take Bai with him. Alan thought about it and asked the soldiers to move the iron box to the basement, and asked them to make their own arrangements, making sure that one or two people were on guard at all times. Alan is looking forward to what kind of changes that heart can bring to Shiro.

After dinner, Edward arrives at the bar. He had used many methods to confuse the public before, and even if someone was following him, he would have been dumped now. On the way back in the morning, he met a soldier who delivered a message from Matto, and Edward was curious to see what the officer of the city guard was looking for him.

In a dimly lit corner of the bar, Edward meets Matto. He was drinking a sullen wine, his expression was bitter, and his heart was heavy. Edward cleared his throat and said, "It seems that Mr. Martto is not a little troubled. ”

Looking up and seeing that it was Edward, Mato smiled bitterly, invited him to sit down, and said, "It's not small, this trouble is related to you." ”

"Oh?" Edward's heart moved, and he guessed that it must be Ethan's side that made a move. He wasn't in a hurry to know the answer, so he drank with Mato. After four or five drinks, Mato was already full of alcohol, and he sighed, "I thought that when Lord Ethan took office, he would bring a new scene to the city of Sur. But in the morning, in his study. When Lord Ethan ordered me to do something, I mistakenly thought I had seen Baron York again. ”

"It turns out that there is no difference between the two of them."

Edward said lightly, "It looks like we're going to be in trouble." ”

"Yes." Mato gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind. He said, "Mr. Edward, please inform Mr. Allen that Lord Ethan wants to do you badly. Run, it's chilling to think about. You've done so much for Sur City, and you don't know how many lives you saved last night. But Lord Ethan is planning to attack you for the sake of his own power. ”

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Such a lord, how can the people below be willing to follow him." ”

Edward said suddenly, "Then how about another lord?" ”

Mato was startled and almost didn't jump. Informing Edward that their escape was beyond the limits of Mato's reach, and he was unhappy with Ethan, but never thought of harming him. After all, the murder of a baron, according to the imperial constitution, not only the murderer must be sentenced to death, but the family is also guilty of joint sitting. Mato's eyes widened, and he finally said, "I didn't hear anything just now. ”

Say goodbye and go.

Edward grabbed him and said, "Mr. Martto might as well listen to me a few more words, for after tonight we will all think that we have drunk too much, and neither of us will remember what we have said to each other." How is it? ”

Mato finally stayed.

Edward looked at him and said, "As you can see, Lord Ethan, the city lord, has not yet sat down, so he is in a hurry to murder those of us who have contributed to Sur City. Because nothing more than to see our power above him. How can a lord like him, who has no room for people, let everyone in Sur City live a good life. Believe me, soon he will be on the same path as Baron York. ”

"If you look at our young master, how much wealth the Krosis loom can bring to Sur City, I won't say more. Suffice it to say that, according to our plan, we will bring more than just a textile machine to the city of Sur. After that, we are also preparing to build a factory. Metallurgy, military factories, refineries...... We have a great plan, Mr. Mato. We want to make Sur City a shining pearl on the borders of the Empire, and this qiē will be buried because of Lord Ethan. Edward's voice was full of tension, and he continued: "A gentleman like you, who loves his homeland, has a conscience, and knows how to be grateful, would like to see the city of Sur that could have been renewed. Is it just because of an Ethan-sama that it is still in tatters, and even worse in the future? ”

"Oh, of course. Maybe the city lord's mansion will be built bigger and bigger in the future, and it will be built higher and higher. ”

Mato slid his throat vigorously, and he smiled bitterly: "When Baron York first took office, the City Lord's Mansion was not much bigger than my small building, hey, how can it be of this scale now." ”

"But how do I know, how do you guarantee that this qiē happens?"

"We can't guarantee that it's up to you whether you can trust us." Edward said lightly: "The only thing I want to remind you is that if we don't have a long-term development plan in Sur City, why did we come to support last night. You know, we lost an experienced fighter, as well as a set of expensive equipment that could not be recovered. This loss is definitely on top of a textile machine! ”

Mato's eyes shrank slightly.

Edward smiled again, "We don't need Mr. Matto to do anything, we just hope that Mr. Matto's city guards don't interfere with us." What Ethan-sama tells you to do, you still do, and I'll take care of the rest. Of course, if Mr. Matto had been willing to let me know in advance, it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

Mato nodded, patted Edward on the shoulder, and said, "I hope to see the picture you described in the future, otherwise, I will not hesitate to take revenge on you." ”

"Of course, if we can't, Mr. Mato can stick his sword in my chest at any time." Edward said elegantly.

"I'll pick someone for Lord Ethan, and he'll send your letters to Storm City. Your Excellency hopes to use the power of Baron Maud to suppress you, and it is estimated that in the next day or two, the letter will be delivered. With that, Mato raised his collar, covered most of his face, and quietly left the bar.

Edward was still seated, taking a sip of the bar's inferior ale, which he thought was comparable to the finest wine.

A storm is brewing in the city of Sur, and the atmosphere is also tense on Babylon, which is still moving according to its own trajectory, on the Earth that is not known how many light years away.

In less than ten hours after Allen's Aurora lost contact, Bethcord issued several statements in a row. One of them was even harsh, and the statement pointed out that because of Allen's attainment in the Rubik's Cube sequence, he had been exceptionally included in the nomination list of the Family Elders. In such a situation, as one of the important members of the future family, Allen has been mysteriously attacked, and Bethcord will investigate it to the end.

Beskode made it clear that no matter where the attacker came from, even if it was the three giants, Beskode would not hesitate to fight. Because the other party's behavior is an unreserved trampling on the dignity of this family. If even the core members of the family can't be protected, what kind of face does Bescord have to stand on Babylon.

Although the statement did not specify who was to blame, it caused an uproar in Babylon. Those who are familiar with this family know that in the past ten years, Horn has not made such a big move.

It is conceivable that the veteran powerhouse who once led his family team on an expedition to the Underworld Star has been really angry. R1058
