1126 Reunion after a long absence 1
There are two sides to the development of everything.
The Exxon family, which is the top pharmacist family in the Dark Wing City, has an old patriarch who doesn't like to be noisy, so visitors need to make an appointment in advance.
And because the children of the various families who live in the mansion of Darkwing City are all direct descendants of the Exxon family, there are very few visitors who come back here.
But because of the inexplicable subsidence in the eastern area of the Dark Wing City today, the Exxon family, as a wealthy family in the city, has also received a call-up and needs to send people to participate in the activities of maintaining law and order and treating the injured.
Coincidentally, it happened in this matter.
The old butler in the mansion wanted to train his youngest son to take his place, so when he rushed to the eastern part of the Dark Wing City, he asked his youngest son to exercise the power of steward in his place, and Raymond entered the Exxon family's mansion when the young man first took over the stewardship.
The young man with a good image and a humble attitude was already dazzled by all kinds of trivial matters in the Exxon family mansion before Raymond appeared, and because of Raymond's acuity, he was affected by Raymond's magic at the first time, and he actually forgot the rules of the mansion, welcomed Raymond and Haynes, who followed him, into the side hall in the front yard of the mansion, and also sent someone to invite Vincent's wife Carol.
The visit in the name of Ellivier of the Red Wetlands Wizard Academy made Carol, who had not shown up for a long time, a little strange, but she was still happy to take her personal maid from the back house to the side hall.
Carol, who was plump and graceful, still retained her delicate and shy demeanor, had the bearing of a noblewoman, and when she entered through the main entrance of the side hall, Raymond deliberately lowered her head and drank tea, so she did not see who the visitor was at the first time.
But after Luisa sat down, as Raymond spoke, Carol, who finally saw his appearance, was stunned.
The originally ruddy cheeks lost their blood color in an instant, and the teacup that had just been picked up fell to the ground. Smash the smash.
Raymond, who originally had some expectations in his heart, couldn't help but sink in his heart and said sarcastically. "Carol, why is it so surprising that you haven't seen it in years?"
Kairol, whose eyes were straight and trembling, fell into great fear and panic.
And her personal maid sensed that something was wrong, but how could an ordinary maid be able to disturb Raymond's plan, she was imprisoned in place before she was ready to shout, and she couldn't move in that posture of opening her mouth to call.
Staring at the frightened and frightened Carol, seeing that she still had a better beauty and youth than back then, I thought of Louisa, who had become an old woman and had passed away. Raymond, who had a cloud of anger in his chest, made his tone more and more calm. "Don't be afraid or panic, the contract has long been invalidated, and I'm not here to break the peace of your life, just to ask for some news......"
Carol, whose face was pale and trembling all over, looked at the person sitting there in a daze. But my heart is extremely sad!
The contract he made when he was at the Wizard Academy of the Red Wetlands forced him to hand over the girl's most precious treasure. The despair that seemed like the sky was about to fall made her think of escaping. Or even suicide!
But then things became more relaxed, and his cousin Luisa and cousin Olga were willing to become the man's bed mates, but because he had always resisted such a fate, he had always kept his body perfect.
Because I was not persecuted, I was very fortunate at the time, and I was grateful later. Even before establishing a relationship with Vincent, I thought of committing myself to him......
Unfortunately, when he wanted to follow his beloved Vincent back to the City of Dark Wings to seek the support of the elders on both sides, the man, who had just been promoted to a full-fledged wizard, brazenly chased after him, not only defeating Beatrice but also cutting off Vincent's right hand!
Thinking of this, the original fear was replaced by anger. The fact that this guy who had deeply hurt Vincent in front of him dared to appear in front of him seemed to be the answer to his prayers for many years, and the enemy who sent him to the door must be punished!
Thinking so, but her expression gradually calmed down, and in the midst of her thoughts, Carol thought of a way, and she stood up and bowed to apologize very sincerely. "I'm very sorry, I didn't expect it to be Lord Raymond, you came, it was too sudden, so I was very surprised, very rude, please forgive me......"
Tingting's tone was soft, and Kairol, who had a faint smile on his face, regained his previous grace and bearing in a moment, but such a long-term cultivation of grace and luxury made Raymond a little ungraspable, and his previous anger was also dispelled a lot.
"It seems that Lord Raymond's strength has increased greatly, congratulations......" said with a smile, but Carol once again bowed his head slightly and pleaded. "It's just that my personal maid is just an ordinary person, I apologize to you for her, but please forgive her for her disrespect, just spare her......"
The panicked Carol regained his composure in a moment, and he also took the initiative to intercede for his maid, so there was no reason for Raymond to continue to imprison her maid, so he released her as soon as he thought about it.
The frightened maid immediately apologized in fear, but Carol, who seemed to be dissatisfied with her faux pas, smiled at Raymond after scolding her. "Lord Raymond, this is the side hall of the clan to receive foreign guests, I think you have a lot of questions that need to be answered, then please follow me to the side courtyard, everything I know about the road will be stated to you without concealment, I hope to be able to answer your doubts......"
Considering that there are quite a lot of questions related to this, and it is not enough to explain them in a few words, Raymond took Haynes, who seemed to be his bodyguard, and followed Carol into the Exxon family mansion, and finally came to the courtyard where Carol lived, along the beautiful corridors full of flowers and vines.
It's just that Carrol, who didn't take Raymond into the reception room, invited him to the chic pavilion in the center of a sea of flowers.
Carroll, who had married Vincent twelve years earlier, was still a descendant of the Newman family, but in fact had little contact with the Newman family.
When she said this, her face was full of guilt, and the eyes of Carrol, who sighed, were a little red, and she continued after she took out the silk scarf and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Because the Exxon family rules are quite strict, and Vincent has long given up the improvement of his strength to take care of the family's affairs because of his limited talent, so I rarely contacted my family again because I needed help at that time......
Hearing this, Raymond could feel the guilt in her heart, but those questions from many years ago were still unexplainable, so she asked directly. "Even if you don't have time to contact the Newman family because you're married to Vincent, why did you lobby for the Newman family to be annexed by the Exxon family eight years ago on behalf of the Exxon family?"
Hearing this, Carole's voice seemed to be extremely annoyed, but his voice became cold and indignant. "Lord Raymond, you really don't know the situation at that time! The punishment of the War Zone Council is about to be issued, if it weren't for the old patriarch asking the War Zone Council for approval, delay, and compromise in every possible way, where would it have dragged on for so long!"
"Because the Newman family was unable to refine those two war potions, it would have caused the death of fifty war zone wizards in the secluded canyon and the bones of more than two hundred knights, if it weren't for the old patriarch's guarantee and promise to delay the time, the Newman family would have been wiped out at that time!"
Speaking of this, seeing that Raymond was still suspicious, he pursed his lips as if he was trying to restrain Carol, but he turned his head and scolded the very frightened personal maid. "Go! Hurry up and get Mihag Mihag over!"
The saluted maid quickly left, but Carol explained in anger. "Michael-sama was in the War Zone Council back then, and he knows a lot about what happened back then, and when he comes, you will know the truth......" (To be continued......
