Arad's crooked savior

A heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders. Jurgen's stern brows, which had been slightly furrowed, finally calmed down a little and said:

"Give me two days to deal with family matters, and then I will wait for you outside Ghent."

"good."

Jurgen held a banquet in the living room, with a round table and some food and wine. The host did not talk much during the banquet, but Lindsay's father was always very curious and pulled Ye Lin to ask questions.

The topics are nothing more than things in the devil world, gaining insights, or having fun.

After drinking for three rounds, Ned shook his head and seemed a little hazy. He grabbed his arm and said vaguely: "Although this girl Lindsay is quite serious, outsiders think she is a good student and a lady. In fact, she is a A greedy foodie.”

Lindsay, who was eating her rice elegantly, raised her beautiful eyes and glared anxiously, seemingly warning her, but her father was good at everything, but he really didn't drink well.

Ned, who was half-drunk from drinking, could not notice her hint, and continued to pour himself half a glass of wine, which he pulled from the Jurgen family wine cellar.

"She is most greedy for sweets. Her favorite is pastries made with wild honey, followed by wave candy, the kind sold on the street, which is bigger than her face and looks like a rainbow."

Little Baihua's personal hobbies were shaken out, and she still had a childish innocence. Raphael tried his best to suppress his laughter, and for fear that he couldn't help it, he pinched his thigh under the table, with an expression that seemed to be crying and laughing, which was extremely funny.

Unexpectedly, the majestic Elytra of the Seven Gods, a half-student of the Mechanical Head of State, a role model in the minds of countless women, has this little hobby.

"But, pure wild honey is quite rare and expensive. Raising a daughter is really too expensive."

Ned sighed again. The resources in the heaven were developed very carefully, and it was completely uninhabited. It could be said that there was almost no one.

Therefore, the harsh conditions for wild honey, as well as the huge demand market in heaven, make this kind of thing quite expensive to buy.

Fortunately, since the trade with Arad, many resources have been replenished.

Ye Lin touched the wine glasses lightly with the other party, took a polite sip, and then recalled: "In our city of Bellmare, Northmare, there is a barren desert outside, but a unique kind of honey is produced there. It tastes amazing and I don’t think any honey can compare to it.”

"There is honey in the desert? How can you make such a decision?" Ned seemed to be interested. Lindsay, who was a little unhappy, also immediately raised her ears.

"It's a long story. The bees that produce this kind of honey are capable of killing people! They feed on the pollen of the dream-eating tree. The color is like melted gold. The taste is sweet and has a soothing effect. It never gets tired of you. , Ten thousand gold is hard to find."

Northmar's honey is also Mailu's favorite thing. In other words, except for Erica who doesn't like overly sweet taste, no one dislikes it.

"It just so happens that I still have half a catty of honey here, so I'll show my respect to my elders."

Yelin took out a small jar of golden honey at the right time. Mailu liked to use it to spread bread and add a little blueberry jam to eat.

"Hi~ Then I would like to thank you, General."

Because not only Lindsay likes this one, but her mother also likes sweets. A beautiful honey, when made into cakes, can put people in a good mood for a week.

"When Madam makes the pastries, I will ask Lindsay to send one to the General. You must try my Madam's craftsmanship. It is definitely not as flashy as your Excellency Ma Lin!"

Ma Lin, who was far away at the Royal Palace in Ghent, was instantly on the receiving end of a gun, unaware that her "devil's cooking" and techniques were also famous in Nospes.

…………

It was a simple reception banquet, and Ye Lin and the others didn't stay too long. After the agreed time, they bowed their hands and said goodbye politely.

Lindsay stayed with the family for the time being and no longer traveled with them.

The sky outside has been covered with a layer of black. In the spirit of coming, Lindsay has always asked them to go north to see the beautiful scenery that is almost uncontaminated by humans, free from intrigues, and pure. area.

The northernmost city in Nospes, known as "White Purul", has a rare snow scene comparable to the Snowy Land of Stone, and is characterized by endless snowfields.

There is a transverse mountain range near Purul, which blocks the intrusion of ice and snow from the north, but this mountain range is very pure, with few broken corners.

After passing through the mountains, there are hundreds of miles of flat snowfields and snow-capped scenery. Everything is quiet and elegant, and it is extremely beautiful.

…………

It was slowly falling into the night, but the Jurgen family was unexpectedly brightly lit today. The light hit the moon tree beside the wall, reflecting some mottled and distorted shadows.

The eldest daughter Marianne does not live with the family on weekdays because she is already married, but her identity still bears the label of the Jurgen family.

But this afternoon, Jurgen personally sent an email asking her to go home and saying that she had something important to discuss.

The youngest son Edwin traveled to four continents, and happened to stop at the port of Quelbat in Nospis today, and was called back by a phone call.

The study is antique and elegant in style, with nearly a thousand books inside. This is Jurgen's own study, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, including his children.

In the past, he had read every book carefully. However, with the frequent wars in the world, he had not calmed down for a long time to re-read a book carefully, and a lot of dust had fallen on it.

Marianne, who returned home, still had a cold face. Ever since her mother passed away in a strange way, news spread that Jurgen poisoned her mentally ill mother, and she had never smiled at her father again. .

Ned had a reason for mocking Jurgen for his poor upbringing.

The youngest son Edwin seemed a little restrained. He stood by the door with his head lowered and said nothing, as if he was counting the few grains of dust on the ground.

This attitude made Jurgen sigh inwardly.

Marianne frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that her father seemed a bit older than a week ago, and the number of grays in his hair had increased significantly.

The three of them were all silent in the room. The atmosphere was like late autumn frost, cold and alienated. They were obviously blood relatives, but at this moment they were like blood enemies.

Jurgen had thousands of thoughts in his mind. He finally slowly opened the desk drawer, took out two sealed documents and placed them on the table, sighing:

"Here is your mother's suicide note. She wrote it when she was conscious. I know you suspect that your mother's death is related to me. There are also rumors that I poisoned her."

The moment she heard this, Marianne clenched her fists and looked in disbelief.

Mother, you actually left a will? !

"Why should I believe that it is not a forgery?" Her voice was hoarse, suppressing a strong anger.

No matter what the truth is in it, it has been more than ten years since his mother passed away. Why didn't Jurgen let himself know about the will?

After questioning, she still couldn't wait to tear open the document. Inside was a small notebook. After opening it, the handwriting was neat and elegant, in the style of a famous aristocrat.

The so-called will is more like a dying mother's instructions and sour confession.

An amusing fact known to the entire heaven is that Jurgen's wife suffers from intermittent mental illness, which is incurable and her symptoms are extremely severe when she becomes ill.

Including but not limited to cursing the death of children, insulting guests, smashing furniture at will, etc. It is so unexplained that it seems like madness.

It was better when I was young, only two or three times a year, but after giving birth to the last Edwin, the frequency began to skyrocket.

Once every two months, once a month, or even once a week for half a day... In the end, she had to stay in the hospital for a long time.

Those few years were the days when the entire Jurgen family was ridiculed and looked down upon. Whenever they walked outside, they would be poked in the spine and pointed at.

Later, not long after Marianne went out to study, she learned that her mother had died suddenly of illness.

She wrote in her suicide note that she knew she had brought shame on the Jurgen family, was ridiculed by others, and had made words that cursed the death of her children. Living was already a heavy burden for her.

Therefore, she firmly asked her husband to free herself and reduce her burdens, so that she could have a chance to restore the family's glory.

"You two should remember that we had a reunion dinner in the hospital the day before Marianne went out to study."

Although Jurgen was explaining, his expression became older and weaker, and the dusk was falling.

Above the court, he was a majestic regent, but within the family, he was an unqualified husband and father.

After fighting openly and secretly with Jack for many years, in the end, everyone turned out to be the same kind of people and felt sympathy for each other, which was really sad.

"Marian, Edwin, I am going to travel far away and may not come back for a few years, so if I don't tell you some things, I won't have a chance in the future."
