Broad World

Chapter 498: Derailment and the big action of the council

After the excitement (emotion), Henry quickly regained his senses. Top! Point! Novel. 2w. He gently wiped Amelia's body, then covered it with a quilt, and left the Wizard Tower alone in a simple wheelchair. With the increase in the number of (lovers), he has a foreboding that the number of children he will have in the future will not be too small. Maybe he has the hope to surpass the ghost town lord, Terramant Tanshuer. As long as he is carefully trained, he will definitely be able to do so in the future. Be a good helper for yourself.

Of course, now I can only think about it, and it will take at least a few decades to reach the level of the ghost prince. One of the main reasons why Ghost City has not experienced civil strife after so many years is the strength of Terramant himself, as well as his legendary sons.

As the saying goes, fight the tiger brothers and fight the father and son soldiers. In Ghost City, more than half of the high-ranking casters in the ranks are sons. How can the political situation be unstable in this case? I am afraid that as long as someone dares to show signs of rebellion, they will immediately be met by several legends. Suppression of the caster.

With the envy of the ghost city lord, Henry used teleportation magic to return to the house of Elatan. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his teammates sitting on the sofa, and you comforted Kaidong who was frowning. Needless to ask, this uncle paladin must have found his wife cheating after returning home, and ran here to ask for help.

"Hey! You're back! Come and think of a way, Kaidong is in big trouble." Said Imoeng stood up and beckoned. The expression on her face was quite tangled, and she didn't know why.

"What the **** is going on? Let's listen." Henry asked, pushing his wheelchair to the middle. Although he already knew what happened. But you still have to pretend to ask, otherwise it is easy to make others suspicious.

Kaidong sighed slightly, and explained with a bitter face: "This is what happened. When I got home yesterday afternoon, my wife Maria suddenly started complaining. After inquiring, she found out that she was talking to a man named William Thorpe. A foreign nobleman is dating. I can’t believe it! I have encountered the most shameful betrayal! Damn! I feel angry at the thought of this, and I can’t wait to send them both to court."

Seeing the anger of the old paladin in front of him, Henry shook his head slightly to persuade him: "Calm down, my friend, this matter is not as bad as you think. Maybe you should think about it calmly. How long have you been? Have not been home. Have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband and father. As your wife, Maria is afraid of every day, so it is not surprising that you want to find a spiritual comfort. Now all you have to do is to try your best Quit the matter instead of making it known to everyone."

"I understand...I understand..." Kai Dong kept repeating this sentence, covering his face. He also realized that he had an inescapable responsibility for this matter. So it became very frustrating. There was even a little regret.

"No. You don't understand. Look at this dejected expression. What we have to do now is to recover, not to give up. Go and talk to this William Thorpe in person. No matter what the final result is, at least you have worked hard. ."

For such rhetoric of family ethics, Henry can be said to have opened his mouth, and he has a set of sets. But once this kind of thing fell on his head, he would definitely not hesitate to grab the man first, tortured him with various tortures, and finally take his soul to feed the devil.

But this set is obviously not suitable for paladins. Just look at what Kaidong looks like now. He didn't even have the slightest intention of wanting to retaliate against the other party privately. The most fierce way is to use legal means. After so many years, the concept of order has penetrated into his soul, no matter how angry and impulsive he is, it is impossible to do anything too out of the ordinary.

You must know that cheating on this continent is a very common thing, from kings and queens to common people, more or less experienced personally or saw people around them encounter it. Especially the nobles in the developed areas, it is a mess, in some places even between close relatives, such as brothers and sisters, mother and son, father and daughter, etc.

Generally speaking, most families will not make public statements and secretly reach some kind of agreement in private. Some people will spend a large sum of money as a hush fee, while others will choose not to interfere with each other. You find your (mistress), and I find my face. Of course, there are some powerful guys who choose to kill and vent their anger.

Kaidong lowered his head to ponder for a few minutes, then suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "You are right! Escape can't solve any problems. I will go to the Wuxiu Hotel in the mall to talk to Sir William, and then go back to ask Mart. Does Riya still love me."

"Yes, that's it, my friend. Go ahead, I believe the whole thing will have a perfect ending in the end." As Henry spoke encouragingly, he patted the paladin on the shoulder. He can only help this now, and let a few parties resolve the rest.

"Thank you for your help. If the ending is perfect, I will bring my wife and two daughters to visit again." After saying that Kaidong stood up and walked out without looking back.

Seeing his distant back, Hina said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that a person who gave everything for justice would encounter family misfortune in his later years. This world is really unfair."

"Justice will defeat evil, and the mentor will surely defeat the bad guy who destroys other people's families." Sai Li Lev said with an angry face. In her eyes, I am afraid that all the guys who cheated outside of marriage should go to the gallows.

Hearing the speech of the paladin girl, Yao En curled her lips disdainfully: "That's not necessarily true. Women are very emotional, and their choices are usually unexpected. Lisa also said that she only loves me, but In the end, he was married to a cruel thief leader."

"Who is Lisa? You never seem to mention it before?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Imoen's face.

"Uh... she is my ex-girlfriend, but she is now married and having children." After saying this, Yao En's eyes flashed for a moment. Obviously, time did not make him forget his old love.

Seeing this group of teammates with various problems, Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. Just when he said something. The butler suddenly walked in and shouted: "Duke, someone sent a few boxes just now, saying that they were paid to you."

"Oh? Who, why don't you invite them in?" Henry asked strangely. He knew that this should be a reward for participating in the encirclement and suppression of the demons, but it seemed a bit abnormal for the other party to not even enter the door.

"I'm not sure, one of them asked me to forward this letter to you." The butler took out the envelope, and the seal was stamped with the seal representing the highest authority of Amn, the six-member council.

Henry's face changed slightly, and he immediately took it over and examined it carefully, and then was taken aback by the content inside. I saw it was written in standard lingua franca above:

"Your Excellency the Duke. Thank you very much for everything you have done for this city in the recent period. There is a huge threat from the infiltrators of the Heart Devil. We will start a joint operation at midnight today, and there may be some riots. Please don’t care too much. In addition, I hope you and your teammates will stay in the house tonight. It is best not to show up on the street unless necessary. To avoid misunderstandings."

no doubt. The council is really moving this time. It is very likely that the masked mage guild, the shadow thieves, the major temples, and the knights will participate in this together. Anyone who is involved with the Heartbreaker will be arrested and investigated one by one. Until all the mind-severs who lurked inside were caught.

After reading this letter, Henry raised his head and said solemnly to everyone present: "After dark, one of them counts as one, and they are not allowed to leave this house."

"Why?" Imoen was the first to jump out and ask. She has always been very active, and likes to go to a nearby tavern for an hour or two after dark, and listen to the strange adventure stories of travellers traveling from the north to the south.

"Remember the piece of leather we found in the underground base yesterday? The council intends to arrest according to the list above, and it will do it tonight. For safety's sake, everyone must stay in their room after dinner. in."

Henry deliberately said this sentence decisively, and there was no room for negotiation at all. He knows very well that both Imoen and Yao En often sneak out in the middle of the night, and that's all about opening one eye and closing the other, but it's definitely not possible now.

When Yao En heard the news, he immediately let out a scream and complained loudly: "Damn! Tonight's business is going to be ruined again. These bureaucrats will be tossing about if nothing is wrong!"

"Okay, don't always stare at that little bit of money. Just now, someone sent the payment for the last task just now. Let's take it and divide it." He said that Henry winked at the housekeeper.

The latter immediately understood, and waved to the servant waiting at the door. Soon, a few hardwood boxes were carried in. He opened all the lids by himself, and saw that, except for a box of black and purple stones that looked a bit like gems, all the others were filled with gold coins. I probably counted almost 30,000 gold coins, although not as many as last time, but considering that it is with the big army, it is already quite rich.

Yao En was dazzled by the golden light~www.ltnovel.com~ He smirked while clutching the coins frantically: "Hahahahaha! Gold coins! Gold coins! I love these golden little things to death."

Henry ignored the crazy dwarf, but picked up a black shiny stone and observed it carefully. Obviously, the temple and council will never send anything too common, and these stones are likely to have some special uses.

Just when he was about to use magic to detect, the butler hurriedly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Duke, these are the special products of the Maztec mainland, obsidian. This box is almost one-tenth of the year in the overseas colony of Amn. If converted into gold coins, I’m afraid it’s a pretty terrifying figure."

"Obsidian? No wonder it's so smooth." Henry's face also showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect that the council would actually send such a generous gift. You must know that due to the inconvenient transportation, the price of the specialty of Maztec Continent has soared more than sixty times when the price of Faerun is obtained, not to mention that obsidian is still a very good alchemical material.
