Chapter 157 News of Death
When Raven came to the study, Weston and Link were already waiting here.
We haven’t seen each other for a few months, and Vesdon has become a little rounder again, while Link’s face has a bit more of a weathered look, obviously he is under a lot of pressure.
Seeing Raven, both of them behaved very enthusiastically, especially Vesdon, as if a burden had finally been lifted off him.
Raven was a little surprised by this. He had thought that Vesdon would be somewhat disappointed. After all, he had taken back the power he had obtained: "Now you know that being a lord is not so easy, right?"
Vesdon rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
After Raven sat down, Weston and Link began to report on the events during this period.
In terms of government affairs, Raven's previous decisions were basically adhered to. Eagle Town was developed and constructed step by step, and the workshop was also running very stably. However, due to the shortage of flowers, the production of Angel Kisses was temporarily suspended. Come down.
In terms of public security, due to Gray Bread and Link's resolute handling methods, although there was a certain degree of chaos, it was kept within a controllable range and no vicious incidents broke out.
After spring arrived, it was difficult to settle the refugees with gray bread alone, so after discussion between Old Gordon and Denise, these people were put to use.
Part of it was invested in the reclamation and construction of Eagle Town, and the other part, at the request of Philip, was funded by the Gold Gold Town Chamber of Commerce and started building the city wall for Gold Gold Town.
"Well done." Raven nodded slowly: "Link, you and the soldiers have worked hard during this period. You should rest for five days and then report to Eric and return to the team."
But Link did not agree immediately: "Mr. Lord Jue, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
Visidon continued: "Brothers Humphrey and Humphrey...are dead."
Leaven frowned. Wrinkle: "What's going on?"
"It's all that old man Angel's fault..." Vesdon looked a little gloomy as he told the story of the incident.
After hearing what happened, Lei Wen was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I understand, both of them should be paid pensions and buried according to the standard of death in battle."
Weis Donglow He said: "But elder brother, they The two have no relatives, and no amount of money is of any use to them."
Leaven asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Kill An. Geer, avenge them!" Wei Dong clenched his fists.
Nodding, Raven looked at Link: "You think so too?"
Link didn't speak, but his attitude said everything.
Leaven shook his head: "I can understand your mentality, but you can't do this."
Vesdon was a little excited: "Why?"
"No Why." Raven's expression became cold: "If there is nothing else, just go out."
Vesdon wanted to argue again, but was pulled out by Link.
Outside the door, Link said: "What the Baron said is an iron law and will not change."
"But, after all, they are people who have been together through life and death!" Vesdon bit his lip. : "Brother, you are so cold-blooded!"
This was said in a loud voice, as if he said it deliberately to others. Raven in the study shook his head, with a smile on his lips.
Outside the window, the inventory work is in full swing, and various goods, including gold coins, are being sorted, packed into boxes and stored in warehouses.
This work was not completed until the evening, and Fiona finally got some free time, but she couldn't rest yet. She just washed up briefly and came to Old Gordon's room.
The air in the room was slightly turbid and full of old people's smell.
Old Gordon was lying on the bed at this time, with a gray face and his mouth slightly open. Perhaps he heard the sound of the door opening. The old housekeeper's eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes: "Fiona , is it you?”
“Grandpa.” Fiona felt a little guilty: “Did I wake you up?”
“I wasn’t asleep at all.” : "Have you met the Baron?"
"I've seen it!" Fiona said immediately: "The Baron looks very good and is not injured."
"That's good...that's good!" Old Gordon let out a long sigh of relief.
In Old Gordon's opinion, the Baron's safety is the most important thing.
Seeing that her grandfather had some energy again, Fiona wanted to make him happier and said: "That's not all. The Baron also brought back a lot of good things this time."
< br>"The gold coins alone were enough to pull two carriages, and there were more than 103,000 of them. There were also various jewelry, magic cores, ores and enchanting props. The total amount could be at least 100,000. More than gold coins! ”
The arrival of large sums of cash is undoubtedly a good thing, but now that Old Gordon is ill in bed, he is really worried that Raven will give some of it to Denise.
"In this case, there are still some things. Remember to tell the Baron." After saying that, Old Gordon shook his head again: "Forget it, I'll go myself."
Elbow Holding on to the bed, Old Gordon was about to get up when his face suddenly stiffened and he began to cough violently.
Fiona quickly helped him up, handed him the handkerchief, and patted her grandfather on the back to comfort him.
After a while, Old Gordon stopped coughing. His breathing was as rough as a bellows, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Looking at the handkerchief, there was already a piece of bloody phlegm.
"I'm really old..." Old Gordon's voice was hoarse and he lay back on the bed.
Fiona took a warm towel and wiped the sweat from her grandfather's face.
"Fiona." Old Gordon said softly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from my illness."
With a sore nose, Fiona held back tears: "Grandpa, Don't worry, Priest Lux has returned..."
"You know your own body. , Even if I survive this time, I won’t live for a few more years.” Old Gordon took this very lightly: “I have served the Griffith family all my life, and now I can see the family under Baron Raven. He rose up under his leadership, and even if his soul returns to his ancestors now, there will be no regrets.”
"But the only thing I can't let go of is you."
Holding Fiona's hand in his hand, Old Gordon said: "You have behaved very well during this period and can speak in front of the Baron. , but in terms of dealing with people, you are always a blank slate.”
“If I die, you have to remember one thing.”
“You can’t trust anyone in this world, with the exception of Baron Raven.”
< br>"Remember, kid?"
Fiona nodded slowly with red eyes.
"Baron Raven...Exception!"
At the same time, Raven also finished handling government affairs and was enjoying dinner alone.
Vesdon was angry and didn't come over, but Denise didn't come either, which made Raven feel a little bored during the meal - he originally wanted to announce some good news at the dinner table.
After dinner, Raven hummed a song and came to Denise's door, knocking on the door gently. After a brief pause, Denise said: "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Raven couldn't even see Denise's face for the first time, because her upper body was almost buried in the desk at the moment, and the documents piled high were like a simple city wall. At this time, she is still busy.
Walk gently behind Denise, and then Raven caught her sight.
Her black hair was tied up behind her head and stabilized with silver hairpins. Although the temperature control array was in operation, Denise, who was addicted to work, still sweated, and her hair was stuck to the sweat. There is an attractive luster on the neck.
The clothes on her body are not the gorgeous style that Raven often sees - a black women's formal dress, with a plain white shirt underneath, the cuffs are tightly tightened, but they are a bit worn, and the lower body is a close-fitting short skirt, black Silk stockings and white high heels on her feet, strict and formal.
It seemed that she had been wearing this formal attire during Raven's absence.
Raven didn't bother her, he just turned sideways to see what she was doing.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When he looked at it, Raven's expression suddenly turned into laughter.
Because there is a human doll sitting on Denise’s desk.
The doll is sewn from cotton. The color is plain white and the shape is very ordinary. There is nothing unusual about it.
But a piece of white silk was sewn on the doll's head, and a man's face was embroidered. The brushstrokes were simple, but they captured the charm very well. With just a few strokes, Raven's evil smile was outlined.
There is also a word embroidered on the lower right corner of the silk: "Bad guy!"
Suppressing a smile, Raven moved his eyes, looked over Denise's shoulder, and saw what she was writing - —Not an account, but a plan.
The content is very detailed, obviously not on the first page. Judging from the lines, Denise wants to build Eagle Town into the commercial center of the northwest of Nord Province. In her blueprint, Goldshire is The satellite town of Eagle Town.
Looking at her serious look, Raven suddenly remembered a lot.
Although at first, Denise came to Eagle Castle with the intention of competing for the title, but after she settled in, her contribution and dedication far outweighed the trouble she caused.
When Angel Tears was invented, she was responsible for purchasing raw materials and distributing small shares. Later, she took over the financial power of the Eagle Territory, and the burden of handling the incoming and outgoing accounts also fell on her shoulders.
On the other hand, although Goldshire is now managed by Fili, the specific financial matters still need to be approved by Denise.
If Old Gordon is Raven's Minister of Internal Affairs, then Denise is Raven's Minister of Finance.
In addition, many of her creativity and ideas are also very good, such as the label design of Tears of Angels, and she has previously mentioned adding more scents to the perfume.
Not to mention helping Raven with his interest in life - the decorations in the castle were basically designed by Denise, which is elegant and grand; she also brought back the temperature control circle that is still in operation.
The sudden shadow on the desk made Denise realize something. She was stunned for a moment, turned back slowly, and then saw Raven's face.
At this moment, Denise almost didn’t think. She quickly grabbed the doll in her hand, opened the drawer and stuffed it in. Then she closed it with a bang and tried to calm her voice: "Raven, Why are you here?"
Leaven couldn't help but chuckle: "First, I came to see you, and second, there is good news."
A touch on his belt. , Raven placed a volume of paperwork in front of Denise.
When she saw the Slater family crest printed on the scroll, Denise's breathing stopped, her throat twitched, and she gently opened it.
The content inside made Denise’s palms feel wet and hot.
She did not expect that what she thought was a joke would actually be done by Raven.
From this moment on, she truly became the queen of the lower town of Meng En City.
“Congratulations.” Raven leaned down and whispered into Denise’s ear: “President Denise!”
Denise quickly moved her chair to get further away from Raven: "Raven, thank you so much."
"Is it as simple as thanking you?" Raven stepped in again. Come up.
Denise felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up. She said nervously with a sullen face: "I... I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
"You can have food anytime." Lei A smile appeared on Wen's lips: "Now, I just want to eat you."
As he said that, amid Denise's exclamations, Raven picked her up and picked her up.
Denise's legs kicked in mid-air, her shoes fell to the ground, her dress flew up, and she beat Raven's chest with both hands: "Raven, don't...ah!"
With a bang, Ray Vin had already turned around, pressing Denise firmly onto the bed, and then began to unbutton his collar.
"Raven, don't do this!" Denise bit her lip, her voice trembling: "You...if you, if you dare, I will——"
The words haven't been spoken yet. After saying that, Raven's lips had already pressed on it.
The clothes fell to the ground one by one, Raven became naked, and Denise's resistance became weaker and weaker.
The time was ripe, Raven's eyebrows were flying, he put his hand on Denise's collar, and was about to tear it apart——
Bang!
The door suddenly opened, and Vesdon rushed in like the wind: "Mother, big news!!"
The wind blew into the room with Vesdon's actions, and all three of them were Stunned.
Veston's eyes fell between Raven's waist and legs. He blinked his eyes first, and then rubbed them, as if he saw something incredible.
Denise saw the same scene. She covered her eyes with her hands, but her eyes showed through her fingers.
Only the old god Lei Wen was there, not panicking at all, and slowly put on his pants as if nothing happened.
Seeing that Vesdon was still watching, Denise quickly gave him a wink. Only then did the fat boy come back to his senses, understood, and walked out like the wind.
At the same time, there is still a question in my mind - what should I call Raven in the future?
A few minutes later, Denise's voice came from the door: "Come in."
When he opened the door and walked in, he saw that Denise had tidied her clothes and Raven was also dressed neatly. They were sitting at the table, both looking very natural, as if nothing had happened.
If Raven hadn't left such a deep impression on him, Vesdon would have thought that the scene just now was just his illusion.
"Isn't there something wrong with you?" Lei Wen said calmly: "Tell me."
Looking at it like this, if Vesdon can't give a satisfactory answer, Lei Wen will I'm afraid Wen won't let him go.
“It is indeed a big deal!” Vesdon swallowed, his face beaming:
"That old man Angel is dead!"
Denise's eyes widened and she looked at Raven in disbelief.
Lei Wen raised his eyebrows: "...Oh, so fast."
