lord and his dragon

To the question asked by Negrim, Lucy replied that he didn't know.

Negrim suspected that the centaur might have concealed something, but he really couldn't think of a reason for the other party to conceal any information from himself, so he could only let him go in the end.

The resignation letter of the great swordsman Meile soon reached Negrim. After reading it briefly, he wrote another letter and handed it back to the steward along with the letter, asking him to hand in the two letters together. To the Pavoni family.

The steward took the order, and handed over another letter of thanks. The envelope was exquisite, with a faint smell of perfume, and the badge of Osedo was stamped on the ink pad.

Negrim froze for a moment.

Orcedo?His family never got along with Hugh Nordin. Although Negrim didn't hate them, the relationship between the two sides hasn't eased to the point where they can exchange notes, right?What's more, Osedodo is still a duke now, and Negrim is just an earl, so if he wants to hand it over, he must hand it over first?

The letter from Osedo cannot be ignored like other minor nobles and merchants. Negrim still opened the letter, and as soon as the letter paper was taken out, the smell of perfume clearly told Negrim , the sender is a lady.

Also smelling the scent of perfume was Abel who was thinking about it, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Negrim.

Negrim looked back blankly.

Abel turned his head back again in grievance.

The person who wrote the letter is indeed a young lady, Anna Osedo, the legitimate daughter of Osedo, and the fiancée of Marus Pavoni. If Negrim remembers correctly, their wedding date seems to be next year , only half a year away from now.

Nigrim blinked, recalling that he had actually seen this young lady in the duel field yesterday, and she was sitting next to little Pavone... In this way, the unknown person who tipped them off yesterday is obvious Who is it.

Negrim was stunned at first, and then very confused. He didn't quite understand why Anna Othedo wanted to show his favor to him. What does Graham get here?

wealth?There is no shortage of this in the Ossetia.

Favor?Are there any favors between the Osset family and Hugh Nordin's family?

Thinking of the end, Nigrim could only think that Anna was dissatisfied with Pavoni Jr. as her fiancé, but she couldn't disobey the family's arrangement, so she wanted to conspire with him to get rid of Marus before fulfilling the engagement.

Although Negrim hadn't looked at the other person's appearance carefully, he subtly felt that Miss Anna's taste was quite normal.

Normal people would not look at things like Malus.

Nigrim briefly glanced at the letter in his hand, and found that the other party's words were very euphemistic and reserved. He wanted to ask him to meet in private. Discovery, Negrim itself is indifferent.

However, the moment Negrim handed the letter to the steward, he was suddenly blessed, and suddenly realized what that Miss Anna had expressed in an extremely cryptic manner.

"Isn't it?" Negrim frowned in disbelief and said, "They don't count as meeting each other, do they?"

But the strong perfume on the letter, and Anna's abnormal behavior... just because he doesn't like Marus can't explain it!

The corner of Negrim's mouth twitched, and he said to the steward, "Give this letter to Fuma and ask him to attend the appointment as scheduled. If there is time, get some news back."

The steward stays for a while, what's the situation?A letter from Duke Osedor's family, to the elves? ? ?

But Negrim's expression told the butler that he was not joking, and the butler could only look for the elf with a letter on his face in a daze.

In the next few days, Abel continued to be punished for being unable to control his various words and deeds, but he had to say that he made progress. At least he began to realize that it was safer to put boiled eggs in the bed of Negrim than raw eggs. Much better, at least the Negrim wouldn't be so angry when they found out.

But what makes Abel more sad is that boiled eggs can't hatch babies at all...

As if Negrim was going to help him hatch raw eggs or something.

Through various details, Negrim also gradually began to realize that the reason for Abel's strange behavior seemed to be different from what he thought at the beginning, which made him less nervous mentally, but Negrim didn't know that Abel had strange habits. How long will Bull's situation continue? Will he recover after a while, or will he have to hatch something for Abel to make him better? Immediately put Abel in the cage.

But the former is also enough, the waiting time is never too long, the most annoying thing is that you don't know when the waiting will end.

The same emotion also appeared on Duke Pavoni, but his waiting was obviously more tormented than that of Negrim.

He is waiting for the king's summons.

But unfortunately, before ushering in the king's scolding, the old Pavoni was the first to be hit by the resignation of the great swordsman.

Duke Pavoni was not very worried about Mailer falling into the hands of Hugh Nordin at the beginning. As he said before, he was very confident in the character of the other party. Mailer was not so easy to be bought. He just felt that he might not see his poor great swordsman for a while. After all, Xiaoxiu Nuoding had nothing but money, and there was no way to quickly heal Mai Le's injuries.

But he never expected that on the second day, he received Mailer's resignation letter, which even included a debt collection note from Hugh Nordin Jr.

"I heard that Mai Le's salary for this month has not yet arrived. Although he is leaving, he still has to pay the money that should be paid. If you want to come to such a big Pavoni's house, you shouldn't have to work hard for so many years. The account of an ordinary swordsman, right?"

Old Pavoni almost spit out a mouthful of blood and had a stroke.

Hugh Nordin, you have to be ashamed! ! !How could you still have the nerve to ask him for money after digging his corner! ! !Mailer... Mailer is also a white-eyed wolf!Fortunately, he still has so much confidence in the other party! ! !

How old Pavony hoped that Mailer was just detained, and that the letter was forged by Hugh Nordin, but old Pavone knew the handwriting of the great swordsman very clearly, and he couldn't pretend the sincerity between the lines. The Great Swordsman really jumped ship!He spent so much effort to recruit people from the days of first-class swordsmen!Just like that, I made a wedding dress for Xiaoxiu Nuoding!

It’s not that old Pavoni thought of a way to redeem it. He even wrote letters to Mailer. Who knew that Hugh Nordin’s people had become hooligans again, and they didn’t accept his letters at all. Since Mailer’s true strength could not be revealed, the old man Pavoni didn't dare to go directly to the door, for fear of attracting attention and leaking the news.

In the end, I had no choice but to swallow this breath, and lay in bed for several days without getting up.

Old Pavoni is not feeling well these days, but apart from the Meler incident, what worries him the most is the king's attitude.

The situation in the palace is tense, and all the king's cronies are paying attention to the situation there anytime and anywhere. Fortunately, they still have the time to fight Huo Nuoding. , Old Pavoni didn't even know how to explain it to the king.

The king was really dissatisfied with him. Old Pavoni had been waiting at home for several days. The other nobles had come and gone to the palace many times. The king just refused to summon him. Old Pavoni was afraid that he would miss something that was most important. For the information, I desperately asked several other companies.

Fortunately, it was not easy to support the Pavoni family. Although the king was unhappy, he did not intend to give up their family completely. After several days of anxiety, the old Pavoni finally received the king's order, so he hurried into the palace .

The king's condition was very bad, not that he suffered any injuries, but that his face was very haggard, his lips were dry, and his face was pale. Not only that, but there was a strong peculiar smell all over his body. Several nobles in the distance heard it, but they didn't dare to show it. The attendants around the king even held their breath, for fear that they would choke and faint.

It doesn't matter if they bump into each other, if the king cuts off their heads in a fit of anger, it won't be worth it.

The king hadn't bathed for more than half a month. It wasn't a quirk, but he couldn't touch the water source, and he couldn't even drink it. During this time, he completely relied on water-rich fruits and food to survive.

Pavoni knew about this matter before, but he didn't expect that the king hadn't found a solution until now. It seems that this matter is really difficult.

That's right, just a year ago, the king began to be assassinated in various ways, and all the captured people revealed the same message—they belonged to the eldest prince.

This matter is about to talk about the coup that happened when the old king died ten years ago. The eldest prince was supposed to inherit the throne. The elder brother, the eldest prince, sat on the throne of the king.

Little Milwes originally thought that his brother's minions had been wiped out by himself, but he never expected that there would be such a force that kept a low profile in the dark, and after it developed to the present, it was even powerful enough to assassinate the lord of a country !

Little Melwes was furious, and he began to send people to search and destroy this force, but no matter how many people he caught, someone would always attack him when he was caught off guard. However, this also caused an uncontrollable fear in his heart. He began to restrain his forces, tried his best to keep them around the capital, and adopted a defensive approach.

This was undoubtedly a wrong choice, not only because his showing of weakness attracted Xiu Nuoding on the border, but also because the trend of the assassination was not suppressed at all, on the contrary, it intensified.

From the very beginning of protection and tracing, they have exhausted their brains to keep the king's life, and the king can't even take a bath, and can only become as smelly as a garbage dump!

Little Melwes closed his eyes tiredly.

It is not uncommon for him to be assassinated by magic, and using water as a medium is not a rare method, but he did not expect that this time even the magician in the palace could not break the spell, and he was so embarrassed .

As long as he is in a place with a water source, the water will turn into sharp long arrows, shooting towards him continuously, and each arrow will go straight to his face, determined to kill him on the spot, although there is always martial arts Gao Qiang's guards can save his life, but no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. The most dangerous time, he was almost shot blind by the tea in the cup!

Now the only way he can escape is not to touch the water source, but if he can live without bathing, who can guarantee that the assassin's method is limited to water?

Little Melwes's face was numb. He looked at the courtiers sitting under him. When meeting them for the first time, he still felt embarrassed and embarrassed by the smell on his body, but now he was used to it, and he only said in a hoarse voice: "It's still No news, is there?"

No one answered, and even the king couldn't find anyone who could break the magic, so how could they think of a way!Even if they send people to search in their fiefs, or even assign missions to the Adventurer's Union, what they find are nothing more than some food and drink, and there is no hidden expert who can solve the problem at all.

Old Pavoni made a mistake just now, and now he really wants to show it, but he has no good way, he can't tell the king to ask Hugh Nordin, can he?Xiu Nuoding's fief is in a treacherous place like the Border Forest. Maybe he can find someone, but judging from the current situation, it is uncertain whether he is willing to save the king. Going against the water to the side of the eldest prince, he asked his magician to deal with the king...

Old Pavoni had no choice but to remain silent along with the others.

The king glanced over the group and heaved a long sigh.

These guys are loyal to him, and they can handle ordinary things well, but they lack the background of the old nobles. If there were a few old nobles who were willing to stand by him and were not liquidated by him, I am afraid they can still be in their own library now. Or find some way in inheritance...

Now it was too late to regret it, and the king had no choice but to say: "It seems that we can't find any clues in our country, and it's not the time to take care of face anymore. I will go to the Chenxing Kingdom in the next two days and ask the magic association over there. Asking for help, just hope whoever comes can figure this out."

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Old Pavoni hurriedly said: "Chenxing Kingdom is famous for having so many magicians in the country, and their magic attainments are far higher than ours and the Blade Empire. They will definitely be able to find a way for His Majesty."

The king didn't have time to worry about the problem that old Pavoni said that his country was no stronger than others. He only hoped that the Chenxing Kingdom could find someone who could solve the problem. Let him stop worrying about not being able to sleep well, and tell him to do whatever he wants.

Little Milwes waved his hand wearily and told the crowd to disperse. Old Pavoni looked at him helplessly for a while, seeing that the king really didn't have time to pay attention to him, and didn't have the strength to be angry, so he was relieved. Went home in a hurry.

During the few days when Marus was locked up, he didn't have any intention of introspecting or settling down. On the contrary, the more old Pavone scolded him, the more intense his resentment towards Negrim in his heart.

He felt that Negrim should have died a long time ago, this person should not have lived in this world at all, and all these pains and setbacks he experienced were also Negrim's fault.

But he didn't dare to show these mentalities again, worried that old Pavoni would lock him up even tighter, but instead pretended to be well-behaved and sensible, as if he really knew that he had made a mistake and really wanted to reform himself look like.

Old Pavoni was so kind to Marus because he remembered all that Marus had done in the past when he was begging for life at Hugh Nuoding's house. No matter what bastard Marus did in the past, old Pavoni would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. When necessary, he would use his subordinates to help Marus settle the troubles he caused. This was the first time he had become so angry with his son, and it was also the first time he had seen Marus show weakness, so he easily believed it. The other party released him not long after.

Although Marus's resentment towards Negrim was even stronger, but even his great swordsman teacher was bought away by Negrim, he really had no good way to deal with him, all he could do now was curse Nigrim. Graham, or spit on the paper with Hugh Nordin's surname written on it.

Two days later, Marus thought of another person, and that was his fiancée Anna.

Obviously he invited people out to watch the duel, but in the end not only failed to show his handsomeness and ability, but lost the duel, and was scolded by the old Pavoni and tied back home, Marus felt ashamed when he thought of it He hated the old duke for not giving himself face in front of his fiancée, and he hated Negrim even more, but he couldn't take revenge on these two people, so he could only bring presents and run to the Osset house in desperation, thinking An apology and an explanation to Anna.

Old Pavone hadn't had time to talk to him these two days, and adding that he was going to Osedo instead of Hugh Nordin, he let him go.

But Marus was not received as usual, and the servant told Marus that Miss Anna was in a bad mood and didn't want to see anyone.

If it was in the past, Marus would not have dared to offend Anna, leaving a gift and leaving, but this time, he didn't know where his confidence came from. He felt that Anna was in a bad mood because of him. If the words are explained clearly, Anna will be happy, so she insists on seeing Anna, and reveals her identity as her fiancé and the young master of the Pavoni family.

Marus has talked to such an extent that the servant dare not stop him, but the problem is that Anna is not at home at all. The servant is afraid that Marus will vent his anger on him if he can't find anyone, so he has to tell the truth: "Anna Miss actually went out, afraid you would be upset, that's why we lied that she didn't want to see anyone."

Marus was focused on Anna, and didn't think there was anything wrong. Anna was already very happy to consider him for him, so he smiled and said, "What should I do? I'll just say what I have next time. I won't be unhappy, my dear is thinking too much."

The servant just thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't expect Marus to continue asking, "Where did she go?"

The servant suddenly became nervous, and stammered: "I... I don't know too well, it seems that I have a tea party with other noble ladies?"

Marus frowned and scolded: "As a servant, how can you not even know the whereabouts of your own lady?! Which lady is there? Where is she having a tea party? Tell me, I must see her today one side!"

When the servant heard this, he was at a loss for words, and it took him a long time before he said, "I...I really don't know...Miss didn't tell us these things, but, but maybe the carriage is going to the east of the city? You can go and find..."

Malus's impatience is already written on his face. If he hadn't just been "out of prison" for a few days and it was hard to expose the prototype, even if this servant belonged to the Oser family, he would have to do it, and he got a barely answer. After receiving the answer, he sneered and said, "Wait, I'll go to the east of the city right now. If you can't find Anna, you will die."

The servant was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he didn't dare to speak, so he could only watch Marus leave in a hurry, and then he hurried to find the maids under the young lady, begging them for help.

He kept the secret for the young lady, he didn't want to die in the hands of little Pavoni!

Anna was not at home, but she didn't go to some lady's tea party. In fact, she was staying with the elf Furma, and she was very happy as hell.

Xiaoxiu Nuoding did not disappoint her. She guessed the whole story with only one letter, and even sent only the elf to the appointment. God knows, when she dressed up carefully and met the elf waiting for her at the meeting place, how much she felt in her heart The joy and excitement, almost impolitely shed tears in front of the elves.

What pleased Anna the most was that the elf looked at him with a very special gaze. The person who was originally as cold as ice showed a different temperature for her, causing Anna to almost fall into the elf's glazed eyes without any resistance. in the tender eyes.

Anna thought that seeing the elf would be enough for her, and it would be enough to guard him from a distance afterwards, but she never thought that the other party was more deadly than the sweetest poison. After just one conversation, she became like a drug addict. Wanting to see each other all the time, even if it was only a second of separation, made her heart feel like a knife, and she was restless.

After being patient to no avail, Anna simply indulged herself, and she began to meet the elves frequently. She knew what little Xiu Nuoding wanted, so she did not hesitate to tell the news of the various nobles in the capital. The elves don't tell him to leave empty-handed every time.

She did find time to attend a tea party among celebrities, but it was purely to obtain information from those well-informed noble ladies, and then use this information to meet her elves.

Although the time spent together was exchanged with information from Xiaoxiu Nuoding, Anna could feel that she and the elf were really in love with each other, and the latter even disregarded the risk of losing her, disregarding all his past and reality. He told her, including that he couldn't marry Anna, and that he probably wouldn't have any offspring.

Anna was shocked and moved. She thanked the elf for trusting her so much, and accepted everything the elf said. In fact, as a nobleman, she understood the hypocrisy of marriage better than the elf. Just look at her and little Pavoni!As for the offspring, it's even more ridiculous. No matter who she marries, the child she gives birth to will not be named Ocedo, and she doesn't care about it at all.

She just wants to indulge in the vortex of love, and she doesn't want to care about anything else.

It can be said that this period of time with the elves was the happiest and happiest time in Anna's life.

But she didn't expect that all this would end so quickly.
