Lord Chronicle

Chapter 236 Comeback
"You want me to go to Bahrain again, what are you thinking?" Garrett stared at Sol with a puzzled expression.

While waiting for the reply from the four major chambers of commerce, Sol suddenly remembered that the intelligence work in the early stage should not be ignored.So he turned around and found Garrett, wanting the Thieves Guild to infiltrate Bahrain first and collect all necessary information.

"Leave it alone." Sol waved his hand.

"Bahrain is an occupied area, and security checks are very strict. It's very dangerous." Garrett touched his chin.

"I know this, so I can pay you three times the reward for this commission." Sol held out three fingers.

"Oh?" Garrett glanced at him with great interest: "You're so generous, don't you want to grab the treasure again?"

"You kid seems to be getting more and more verbose. In a word, do you want to do it?" Saul asked impatiently.

Garrett laughed: "Recently, the third prince of Dinard, the commander of Diviji Castle, and Albert's only son came to Lovell. I don't think it's a coincidence."

As he said that, he leaned over and lowered his voice, "Could it be that you are going to do something about Bahrain?"

Sol's eyes froze, and he stared at him immediately, without saying a word.

Garrett immediately raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "I just made a small association based on your commission. Don't worry, I will still abide by the basic professional ethics."

After speaking, he sat back in the chair and said seriously: "Three times the reward, right? Our guild has accepted it."

Sol was relieved and said, "That's good. You only need to provide general information about the Bahraini Territory, especially Ferry City, and you don't have to take risks for the rest."

Thor didn't expect the Thieves Guild to spy on military intelligence, and presumably Garrett would not agree.If something goes wrong and Lu Lin is alerted, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, the Thieves Guild only needs to act as an outpost, so that Sol and his party can have a general understanding of the current situation of the territory when they arrive in Ferry City, so that they don't get blindsided.

Garrett nodded to show his understanding, and followed him with a curious expression: "After talking about the business, speaking of it, I have a question to ask the lord."

"What?" Saul said casually.

"Is it the wound on your face?"

Sol was immediately embarrassed: "Oh, you said this, I accidentally bumped into it last night, hahaha..."

"But your other three friends seem to be...couldn't they also collide?" Garrett hesitated to speak.

Sol's expression became unnatural: "Actually, the grape trellis in my backyard fell down last night, and we were all hit by the trellis."

Unexpectedly, Garrett is still relentless: "But there are no grapes in the Lord's Mansion? Last night, all the guards in the territory were dispatched to seal a certain house. According to insiders, strange explosions continued to be heard inside. sound, but no one knows what happened, could it be related to your injury..."

It is the nature of thieves to spy on information, so it's no wonder that what happened last night didn't attract their attention.Judging by Garrett's appearance, it was obvious that he had vaguely guessed that it was related to Saul's injury.But knowing this and deliberately mentioning it is really hateful.

Saul finally became angry: "Have you finished it? You haven't set off after receiving the mission, and you keep asking what you have to do."

Seeing him getting angry, Garrett laughed and stood up.After walking a few steps, he turned his head again: "But those strange subordinates of yours are very powerful. Last night, many high-level thieves in our guild wanted to find out because of curiosity. gone."

Saul couldn't help but feel very proud, those are all my precious Yeying, compared to you thieves, their skills are naturally a little bit higher.

However, Garrett's next words almost drove him to death: "With such subordinates, you can't protect you, you are really a failure as a lord..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a bang, and a teacup flew out and smashed against the door, smashing it into pieces, but Garrett had already known the timing and dodged out.

Sol was panting with anger, shame, shame, thanks to the guards and Ye Ying who have a high awareness of secrecy, otherwise if it spreads out, where will I put the face of the lord?
But after thinking about it, this time, thanks to Kress seeing the opportunity quickly and having to rely on the protection of the garrison to go to Bahrain, Sol decided to call his captain to give a good encouragement.

Not long after, the captain of the garrison who received the pass came to Sol's study.

"My lord, did you call me?" Kress said respectfully after walking in.

Sol was wrapping a piece of ice on his dark eye sockets with a cloth. In the past, if Marlene was around, he wouldn't need to do it himself.It's only been 2 days now, and he feels that there is no trouble from this maid in such a big lord's mansion.

He motioned Kress to sit down first, and then said with a gentle smile: "A lot of things have happened in the territory these days, and it all depends on the efforts of the defense team."

Saul tried to look amiable, which he usually looked like.But at this moment, he has two panda eyes and a bruise on his nose, so he looks hilarious.

Kress wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he looked away from Sol's face unnaturally: "Thank you, Lord Lord, for your compliment."

Sol continued to play the people-friendly card: "Everyone has worked hard these days, do you want me to give you a few days off?"

Kress immediately said: "Thank you for your concern, but this is the duty of the defense team. Besides, the territory is very chaotic these days, and we dare not relax in the slightest."

Sol certainly knew what he was referring to: "Ahaha, it's good that you have this awareness."

Then, he coughed dryly: "About the wound on my face..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kress straightened his back and said loudly, "I don't know anything!"

Sol couldn't help nodding secretly, a child can be taught.He smiled and said: "Since the defense team has been working hard these days, this month's salary will be doubled, and everyone will have two extra days off."

Kress was overjoyed upon hearing this.The last time I messed around with Sol, I was fined by Jessica. Although I ate in the lord's mansion for a month, I was unhappy that I didn't get the salary.

At this moment, with a big wave of Sol's hand, he would close the double payment, how could Kress not be elated.

He immediately offered a flattery: "As expected of the lord, you really love us. It is worthwhile that we got up in the middle of the night last night to help you..."

"Huh—!?" Thor immediately dragged his voice.

Kress quickly changed his words: "Ah no... It's not in vain for us to work so hard these days."

Sol nodded with satisfaction: "Kress, you have been the captain of the defense for several years. You should know that those of us who are in high positions don't always go our way. Sometimes we have more troubles than ordinary people."

Kress made up his mind that he would never speak indiscriminately again. If he provoked Sol and took back the double salary and double leave just now, it would be more harm than good.

Anyway, the lord suffered a big loss last night, so I just follow his wishes and treat it as a good deed.

Hearing this, he just nodded vigorously: "That is, that is."

Saul sighed again: "Besides, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Sometimes even a wise man like me still finds it difficult to handle."

"That is, that is."

"Looking at me like this, you must think I'm useless?"

"That is, that is."

"Um--!?"

"Uh...of course not, of course not." Kress wiped his sweat.

There was really nothing to say to this guy, so Sol could only wave his hands: "In short, some things are worth reading, but it's not good to spread them out, you should understand?"

Kress didn't know what he meant, so of course he hurriedly agreed.

After all, what happened last night was not glorious, and Saul didn't want to say more, and after some ramblings, he sent Kress away.

But after he left, Sol became more and more depressed.Thinking of those women who still didn't know how to laugh at him at this time, I felt an unknown anger in my heart.

He slapped his cheek hard and told himself: "Don't be discouraged, women are like clothes, only brothers are brothers. Why are women afraid of running away, I still have three reliable brothers and sisters."

Thinking of this, Sol couldn't help but get very excited, opened the door and ran out excitedly: "Brothers, now I can only count on you..."

Before the words fell, when he saw the scene in the living room, he couldn't continue the following words.

In the living room, Das was holding a small mirror, and was dipping his face with a piece of powder that he found from nowhere: "Put more powder, you can't leave any marks on my handsome face."

Walsa squatted in the corner as usual, muttering something with absent-minded eyes, even though it was daytime, there was a large shadow around him.

Gein was a little normal, with his upper body bare, his mushroom-like head on his head, and he kept waving his sword in the yard, making weird "ah da" and "ah da" screams.

This...is this my "reliable" brothers...

Standing stunned for a while, Sol could only look up to the sky and howl.

**************************************************** **************************************************** **************************************************** ****
The next few days were safe and sound, and the girls seemed determined to go out "independently" and lived a splendid life in that house. They had no choice but to acquiesce to this reality.

The low-level officials in Lovell suffered a lot. Although they didn't know why Jessica moved out of the lord's mansion, the steward and the lord were separated from each other. They had to run around with official documents, which added a lot of workload.

The only thing that Saul is gratified about is that after days of hard work by the road construction team, the road leading to the iron mine in the mountain has begun to take shape, and at the same time, the mined ore has begun to be transported back to the territory in a steady stream.

Immediately, under the auspices of Manson, the dwarves and craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time immediately went into production, and the factory, which had been idle for a long time since its completion, finally began to operate in full swing.

For such a big event, Sol immediately held a lively ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the full launch of Lovell's manufacturing industry.

Before that, Lovell made money by trading in special products from the Frozen Plateau. Although the income was huge, all eggs were put in one basket, which made people worry after all.

So Saul and Reed have been trying to find ways to make money, but due to limited conditions, they have not achieved much.Now that the iron ore is in hand, Lovell is like a fish in water, and has a stable source of income.

With the exquisite craftsmanship of dwarf craftsmen, the exclusive coke secrets, and the support of the two major resources of iron ore and coal mines, it is really difficult not to make a fortune.

This has naturally become a major event in the territory, especially as the scale of the factory expands in the future, more job opportunities will be provided.Therefore, on the day of the ribbon-cutting, the residents of Lowell also came out in full force, and the scene was very lively.

Of course, Jessica must participate in this kind of occasion.It's just that she has a businesslike attitude from the beginning to the end. Although she is respectful to Sol, she just doesn't respond to Sol's frequent hints of goodwill, which makes Sol extremely depressed.

The girls were united, and Vihir naturally didn't give Gein a good look at the salivating face.Even Marlene, who was always obedient, could only helplessly express her helplessness in the face of the pitiful eyes of several people.

Only then did the four of them realize that the joke was really serious. It seemed that before they were brought back from Bahrain, they would never want to be sexual again.Frustrated, several people could not help complaining to each other.

Alas, it's a tough time.

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************
That night, in the lord's mansion.

The four of them did not lie around crookedly after eating as usual, lamenting how life would be without a woman, but rarely gathered in the study.

On the table was an exquisite candlestick, and the bright light of five candles illuminated the whole study.Saul and the others sat in a circle, everyone looked solemn, and the atmosphere was very unusual.

There was silence in the study room, the four of them looked at me and I looked at you, all with straight faces, but no one spoke from the beginning to the end.

After a while, Sol tapped lightly on the table, leaned forward, and the candlestick immediately cast a shadow on his face.

"Have you... all noticed?"

The other three seemed to know what he was referring to, and they all nodded solemnly.

"Although I didn't care about it before, this is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored." Gein said seriously.

"No, actually, I noticed it from the very beginning." Walsa's face darkened.

Das looked at him in surprise: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I thought that the predicament was only temporary, but I didn't know it would last so long. I was careless, I was careless." Walsa looked annoyed.

Gein also showed a sympathetic expression: "Yeah, even I can't stand it anymore."

Sol took a deep breath and said slowly: "So, what do you guys think about the issue that the takeaway is cold every time it is delivered?"

Walsa took out the strong logical thinking ability of a magician, and began to make a calm analysis: "I think the main problem is that Aunt Maisie's shop is too far away from the Lord's Mansion, resulting in too long delivery time, so the delivery time is too long. By the time the food was cold."

Das nodded in agreement, and expressed his opinion: "I agree with this point, but this has nothing to do with the other party's inexperience, and it is not unrelated to cook some hot food that is easy to cool every time."

Gein used his keenness as a general to point out sharply: "No, I think the most important reason is that they don't have effective insulation tools."

Das and Walsa applauded in unison, saying that Gein was worthy of the name of a good general, and he saw the crux of the matter at a glance.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sol, who had not spoken all the time, sneered slightly.

Gein was very unconvinced: "Why are you laughing, do you have a better opinion?"

Saul said: "You guys are still known as the Four Masters, but you just hold on to some minor problems. We are now reduced to the miserable situation of living on takeaway food. Is it because of Aunt Maisie?"

As he spoke, he slammed the table fiercely: "No, the root cause is that Marlene was abducted by them!"

The three of Das were all taken aback, and then they applauded repeatedly.

"Well said, if Marlene is still here, we don't need to order takeaway every day."

"That's right, if Marlene is cooking, it's none of our business whether he's far away or gets cold easily."

"Eating cold food every day is more uncomfortable than the army. I haven't had a bite of hot food for many days, woo woo woo..."

"I, I pulled again last night..."

For a moment, the three people who woke up shouted one after another.

Sol slightly raised his hand to signal them to be quiet: "Besides, if Marlene doesn't come back, I'm afraid my house will soon become a pig's nest..."

As he spoke, the other three couldn't help looking behind them.I saw that the study room was covered with confetti, the bookshelves were covered with thick dust, and a sneeze could spew out thick smoke.

If you look at the entire lord's mansion, you can see the majestic lord Lovell's private house, and you don't know how dirty it is.

Garbage discarded everywhere, smelly socks crumpled into a ball with a strong smell, unwashed clothes, leftover food that has begun to rot... It is not much more than the dormitory for college boys.

But this is nothing, if anyone goes to the kitchen, they will probably faint immediately from the pile of dishes and the sink that has begun to grow mushrooms.

There is no way, these elder and young masters are not masters who are willing to do chores. After Marlene left these days, they are really on the verge of life and death.

Seeing the expressions of grief and indignation on the faces of the three of them, Sol crossed his hands to support his chin, and slowly swept his eyes: "It's useless to complain any more. Now that we have found the reason, let's find a solution."

Walsa was the first to say: "It goes without saying, of course we invited Julie to cook for us and clean up by the way."

Das didn't take it seriously: "It's too difficult. Julie just throws the rice at the gate of the yard and runs away every time. I tried my best but couldn't trick her in."

Gein's eyes lit up: "Since she refuses to come, what about our past?"

Walsa shook his head: "Who can bear to travel so far for three meals a day."

Gein said dissatisfied: "Far fart, my stomach can't stand it."

Not to be outdone, Walsa said, "I still have the face to say, if you weren't all like perverts, how could Julie be so wary."

"What? I think you are the sexiest."

Without saying a word, several people accused each other and started arguing noisily again.

"Hahahaha..." Suddenly, Sol looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter.

The three of them were caught off guard, and all looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

Sol looked at them with a look of disdain: "Shame, I'm ashamed for you. Just now we have found the most fundamental reason, so what should we do, needless to say?"

As he said that, he hated iron for being weak and said: "Of course I want to get Marlene back."

All three of Darth were shocked.Walsa said in fear: "I thought what was my idea. Isn't the lesson from last time not enough?"

Gein also said: "Forget it, don't provoke those women anymore."

Saul simply despised several people: "A little setback is enough to scare you like this. Are you really the Four Masters of Almuk?"

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice: "Besides, who said you're going to be tough?"

"Huh?" Hearing that there was something in his words, Das hurriedly said, "Do you have a solution?"

Saul stroked his chin confidently, only then realized that he had no beard, and coughed dryly: "This time our target is only Marlene, it will be much easier. Just find a way to get her out of that house alone, with my help Prestige, persuading her to surrender is not a matter of minutes."

When the three of them heard this, they were all overjoyed.But soon Walsa worried: "But after the last time, Jessica and the others are very guarded, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance."

Sol wagged his fingers: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything."

As he said that, he turned his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Come out, it's time for you to show up."

There are only bookshelves and walls shrouded in darkness behind Saul, who is he addressing these words?
Could it be that... he was planning to dispatch Ye Ying to kidnap him! ?
However, after talking for a while, there was no sound, and the three of Das, who were full of expectations, couldn't help looking at him strangely.

Saul felt very embarrassed, and gave two low drinks, but there was still no movement.At this moment, I suddenly heard a few snoring sounds of "hu...hu..." from the black shadow behind the bookshelf.

Sol didn't change his face, he took off a shoe and threw it over. Hearing a bang, the shoe seemed to hit something, and at the same time something moved in the shadow, and a person came out with his head covered.

"M...Mira!?" Upon seeing the visitor, Walsa almost shrank under the chair.

It was Mira who came out, and she was still a little dazed when she woke up.Unexpectedly, when he saw Walsa, his eyes immediately lit up, and his tongue couldn't help licking around his mouth.

Walsa's face turned pale, he stammered and pointed at Mira: "She...why is she here?"

Saul snorted first: "Mira, don't mess around."

Then he laughed and said, "Because it's up to her to find Marlene back."

"what do you mean?"

Saul proudly said: "Jessica and the others obviously neglected Mira, so I found an opportunity to buy her over with three big meals a few days ago. Hehe, Jessica, let you be as evil as a ghost, Didn't you think that I've planted a mole beside you, right?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin and said with a sinister smile: "When the time comes, Mira will trick Marlene out, we will snatch her immediately and run away, then lock her up and cook and clean for us, quack quack quack..."

Hey, didn't you just say you wanted to convince Marlene?It's a crime at all...

For a moment, thinking of all the benefits of "imprisoning" Marlene, the three of Das couldn't stop laughing, and there was a lot of rattling in the study.

Mira held a finger in her mouth, looked at this and that with a puzzled face, and finally yawned boredly...
