lord and his dragon

When Duke Osedo hurried to the hall, what he saw was his sister smiling and holding Marus's hand, and the two were coming down from the second floor intimately.

Duke Osedor was stunned. He hadn't forgotten his sister's attitude towards little Pavoni all the time. What's going on now?

He noticed that Anna was not dressed properly, but just put on a shawl and wrapped it around his neck very deliberately. He began to worry about whether his sister was being held hostage, but soon, Anna handed him the A reassuring look indicated that he didn't need help right now.

Duke Osedo could only get out of the way half-believingly.

The situation of Marus looked very wrong, his eyes were very red, and his whole person was in a state between extreme excitement and extreme panic, almost like a rabid dog, Duke Ocedo had to defend himself The younger sister squeezed a sweat.

But Anna seemed to understand what she was doing, she whispered a few words to Marus, her voice was soft and thin, and Marus became very anxious after hearing her words, Anna patted his hand , let go of him, and after looking at Anna and Duke Osedo, Marus quickly rushed through the gate and ran out.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Marus had run away that the smile on Anna's face disappeared instantly. She fell limp as if her bones had been pulled out, and Duke Osedor rushed up to help her up in fright, and asked with concern: "Anna , are you alright? What happened? Why did little Pavone come to the house? What did he do to you?"

Anna was panting, the silk scarf around her neck slipped down, revealing a terrible bruised purple choke mark, which made Duke Osedor gasp, his eyes tearing apart: "How dare he?!"

Duke Osedo thought that his sister must be terrified, and was trying to comfort her, but Anna grabbed her arm. Duke Osedo looked up and was surprised to find that although his sister's body was trembling, her face His expression can be described as ecstatic.

"The Pavoni family is doomed, brother, no one can save them, get ready, we will go to see the king tomorrow morning!"

Marus still doesn't know that his last trust was entrusted to the wrong person, he doesn't know how much Anna hates him, and he doesn't know how the woman he loves is planning to betray him, vowing to trample him completely Hell, he briskly walked back.

He found a good way to keep their position without compromising with the king.

As Anna said, they don't have to be loyal to the king, especially when the king is cruel and stupid and has no regard for nostalgia. In fact, His Royal Highness Milwes is indeed a better choice. He Although little Milwes has not been kicked out of the throne yet, everything has proved that he has the ability.

Little Milwes will die in endless assassination plans sooner or later, and with the help of the Pavoni family, this process will obviously be accelerated, His Royal Highness Great Milwes or his descendants will become the new king Well, at that time, the Pavoni family had meritorious support, and their status and wealth would only be higher than they are now. Why should they beg for mercy from little Milwes now?

Marus met his trembling father on the way. He looked at this man who was gradually getting old, saw the cowardice and humility of the other man, and his thoughts became more determined. He ignored the old Pavoni's anger and grabbed him. His father's hand said: "Find a way to contact His Royal Highness Great Milwes, before our property is confiscated, everything is still in time!"

The old Pavone turned pale with shock: "What are you talking about?! How can such a thing be allowed—even if His Majesty the King wants to take away our property, at least we will be spared. How dare you think about such a thing?! "

Marus was extremely disappointed: "You only have this courage? You would rather shrink back and watch your title and family property that you have worked so hard for these years be taken away without any resistance, and you are not willing to fight?"

He looked at his father's hateful face, and couldn't help but said bitterly: "I understand, it seems that there was a reason why the Pavoni family was a third-rate noble before, and it was all because of you, because you were useless, You are useless, if you were not lucky and the pie fell on your head, what would you have achieved?"

These words made old Pavoni's face turn red and white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you talk to me like that...you are really crazy! Crazy!"

Marus exploded in an instant, he pushed old Pavoni away, and screamed: "Yes! I'm crazy! From the very beginning when you sent me to be Lux Hugh Nordin's dog Crazy! I don't want to go back to those days, and I won't allow anyone to step on top of my head! Hugh Nordin, damn it! Melwes, too—"

The old Pavone covered Marus's mouth, and was so frightened that he almost died, and said repeatedly: "Shut up! Don't shout here! It's almost dawn, let's go back first, Don't let anyone see it!"

After stumbling all the way back to Pavoni's mansion, the old Pavoni finally compromised with his son.

Wealth and wealth are in danger, since little Milwes has no hope, big Milwes is indeed a good choice, as long as their actions are concealed enough, they can contact big Milwes before being discovered by His Majesty the current king. With more hands, they will be able to catch another fast boat.

Old Pavony acted quickly, and the king gave them one day, which was their last chance. Old Pavony asked the servants to sort out the family property on the surface, but secretly sent other people to start Search for traces of the rebels in the capital—even if it's just a young man, as long as he can find someone, old Pavoni believes that the people in Great Milwes will definitely value their power.

But the king spent a lot of effort to find out the power of his brother, but still found nothing. How could the old Pavoni find someone so quickly and quietly? By the afternoon, Marus was already in a hurry. His own hair was gone, and old Pavoni was also pale.

Marus said angrily: "Are all the people under your command idiots?"

Old Pavoni murmured: "It doesn't matter, there is still time, we still have time, His Majesty the King has made an appointment with me, and he will not send someone until the evening..."

As soon as old Pavone finished speaking, a servant screamed and knocked open the door of the room: "My lord duke! It's bad! The king's guards are here!"

"What?!" Old Pavoni stood up all of a sudden, and walked out tremblingly: "How could it be now?! It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!"

It really shouldn't be, Marus sensed that something was wrong, and when he was halfway with his father, he turned directly into the back garden, found Adrian in the backyard where the manpower was placed, grabbed him and hid out together.

Old Pavoni was too nervous, he didn't have time to pay attention to his son's movements, he limped to the front hall like someone who had suffered a stroke, and before he could speak, he was knocked down by the tall guards, One of the leaders said in a cold voice: "I'm sorry, Duke Pavoni, I arrested your son last night, and I'm going to arrest you and your other family members today, but I can tell you that your crime is colluding with the rebel party. , with the intention of treason, take a look, these people shouldn’t be mistaken, right?”

As soon as the man finished speaking, several other people were escorted over, and none of them was arrested. They were the people he had sent out to find the connections of the rebel party. These people had obviously been beaten. , and scrambled to speak out his order, the old Pavoni completely lost the will to resist, and collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

The captain of the guard ordered someone to tie him up expressionlessly, and said to old Pavoni: "This may be the last time I will call you, my lord, my lord, please cooperate with us to count your property, thanks to you , we have a lot of things to do today."

The orders received by the guards were not only to arrest people, but also to confiscate all the assets of the Pavoni family. They were busy from the afternoon to the evening and failed to complete the task. In the end, they could only take all the members of the Pavoni family and some of their money. Back to the palace.

The Pavoni family went to jail, and no one escaped—at least on the surface. After all, no one knew that Adrian was hiding in Pavoni's house, and no one knew that the king secretly sent Marus Pavoni to the house last night. Fonny put it back.

Adrian never imagined that he had only had a few days of good life, and the aristocrats he had taken refuge in collapsed. My former teacher, Sapiantia, is wanted!

Adrian was going crazy. He lost his right hand, lost his stable life, and even lost one of the most knowledgeable teachers in the whole continent!The person who once gave him the promise is not as good as a beggar now, at least the beggar will not be hunted down!

Adrian felt that he had been deceived. He wished he could fight Marus desperately, but he was just a delicate and frail magic apprentice with only one hand left. Marus could knock him dizzy with a single punch. He could only endure it, and stared at Marus with red eyes: "You...what's going on now?!"

After Adrian took refuge in Pavoni's house, he had been hiding in the house and never went out, so he didn't know the news outside at all. Marus gave him a cold look and said, "I haven't pursued the curse with you yet. If the stone fails, you'd better not provoke me."

"The curse stone has failed? How is this possible?!" Adrian was shocked.

But Malus didn't have time to explain too much to him. Now it's obviously because the news that they plan to contact the elder Milwes has been leaked, so the little Milwes will make a fake show and make the Pavoni family They were all arrested. In the current situation, his only way out was really to turn to Great Milwes. Only with the help of the rebels could he possibly take everything back.

But now no one can help him in contacting the rebels, except Adrian, one of them is wanted by the king, and the other is wanted by the great magician. The two of them are already grasshoppers tied to a rope. If something happened, no one could escape, so Marus took this half-baked magic apprentice with him when he escaped.

"Is there any way you can find the people from Great Melwes?" Malus asked.

Adrian didn't know anything yet, and asked in confusion, "Who is Big Milwes?"

Marus resisted the desire to strangle this magic apprentice who had done nothing but failed, explained the matter from beginning to end, and asked, "Is there a way for you to contact them?"

Adrian gritted his teeth and said, "You can try it. Since that magician is so good at water magic, maybe he can contact him through water. Is there a river near here?"

There is, but it's not very close, and it takes some risk to get there.

But now is not the time to consider risks. Marus grabbed Adrian's arm and was about to lead him to the river when two young men suddenly appeared on the other side of the road.

Marus was startled, and immediately took Adrian to hide in the shadows. Those two were the young masters of two second-rate noble families nearby. When they saw Marus before, they always avoided him. How could Marus hide from them? when?

But today is different from the past, no matter how aggrieved Marus feels, he can only bear it.

Those two people walked towards this side with shoulders shoulders and backs, and what they were talking about was the sudden change in Pavoni's house.

Marus tried to figure out what they were going to say with his feet, and was about to block his ears, when he heard the two people laughing and saying: "...This is not the most ridiculous thing, do you know what the most ridiculous thing is? ?”

"what?"

"It was their original in-laws who revealed the Pavoni family's collusion with the rebel party—Osedo!"

There was a bang in Marus's mind.

His hand was still on his ear, and he was about to cover it, but he couldn't think about anything anymore.

"I heard from my father that the Duke of Osedo hurried into the palace early this morning, taking his sister with him."

"Marus Pavoni's fiancée?"

"That's her! Anna Othedo, I heard that she has been crying to the king for a long time. Marus Pavoni is usually arrogant and domineering, and the Pavoni family has just risen from the third-rate nobles for a few years. They are rude and rude. He was not worthy of a lady as noble as Miss Osedo, but I heard that he ran into Osedo's house last night and wanted to kill Miss Osedo!"

"Why? Don't they have a marriage contract? Why do they want to kill people suddenly? This is too strange."

"Then who knows? Maybe Ocedo wants to break off the engagement."

"Osedo has also clinged to the Pavoni family a lot in recent years. I am not happy about the sudden dissolution of the engagement. Also, why did the Pavoni family suddenly collude with the rebel party? His Majesty the King still treats them Isn't it good enough?"

"Ah... I don't know about this, anyway, the king has already issued an order, so there is no reason for the king to frame them! Maybe Marus Pavoni did something crazy again? Marus Pavone You can't refute the fact that Fonny is a lunatic, can you?"

"...that's true."

So the two young people walked away laughing and laughing again.

At this moment, Adrian saw the expression on Marus's face. He originally scoffed at the two people who didn't know anything, but now he began to want to believe their words.

Especially the sentence that Marus has gone crazy.

Adrian was a little scared, he moved away and asked, "Are you okay?"

Marus gave him a sinister look: "Let's go, we have to find people from Great Milwes. As long as we have their support, sooner or later, I will make everyone pay the price."

Adrian had no choice but to follow him tremblingly. They hid and hid all the way, and finally found the opportunity to set up a magic circle by the river after dark.

Adrian only had his left hand left, which made his movement of drawing the formation very slow, and his accuracy dropped a lot. He tried five times before finally drawing a qualified magic formation. Marus nervously and eagerly Staring at him, Marus relaxed a little until the magic apprentice managed to light up all the lines after chanting the spell.

Adrian left the magic circle with a pale face, and said to Marus: "The lord has heard my request, and now we can only wait. If he is willing to accept us, he should send someone soon."

Marus heaved a sigh of relief, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "They will definitely come, and they will definitely not give up trying to win over the Pavoni family. When everything is successful, His Majesty the Great Milwes ascends the throne, Everyone will pay the price, Ana Othedo, Negrim Hunodin, and that stupid Duo Melwes..."

Adrian glanced at him, then looked away as if nothing had happened, neither echoed his words nor refuted him.

They waited for a long time in the cold night, until Adrian felt that he was going to freeze, and finally two men in black robes came to the river quickly and silently.

Adria and Marus stood up immediately, both of them were so excited that they almost screamed, they couldn't wait to go up to them, and said to the two men in black: "Excuse me, are you the envoy of His Majesty Melwes?" Is it?! We are calling you!"

The two men in black stopped in front of them, their sharp eyes scanned them up and down through the huge hood, and finally, one of them asked, "Which of you is a magician?"

Adrian quickly raised his hand and eagerly promoted himself: "I! I am a magician! My teacher is Sapiantia! You know him, right? The most powerful and wisest magician in the world! "

The two men in black looked at each other, one of them nodded, and the other said to Adrian: "Yes, we accept you."

Then he said to Marus again: "What do you know?"

Marus smiled confidently. He puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I am the next heir of the Pavoni family, Marus Pavoni."

The man in black looked very impatient, and he asked, "What do I ask you?"

Marus said proudly: "I don't know anything, but I am the next heir of the Pavoni family, isn't that enough?"

The man in black, as if he didn't hear what Marus said at all, shook his head at his companion in disappointment, and said, "This is a waste, he doesn't know anything, let's take this magician away."

Hearing this, Adrian happily followed them, but Marus was dumbfounded. He stopped in front of the two of them and said, "Wait! Don't you understand?! I am the next heir of the Pavoni family , don’t you need the support of the Pavoni family?! We are the biggest nobles in the capital right now! Wait a minute!”

The two men in black didn't pay attention to him at all. Marus became anxious and said loudly: "You must be two idiots, right? You don't know what the name Pavoni means! You must take me Go back, if your superiors know that you have lost me and only brought back a half-baked magic apprentice, they will definitely punish you!"

The two men in black finally stopped. One of them turned his head to look at Marus, raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing an indifferent face full of vicissitudes, but called Marus He felt very familiar, and soon he remembered that this person was once a duke, and his status in the past was no lower than that of Marus' father now. How could such a person be just a scumbag, and how could he not know Pavoni?

The former duke looked at Marus, who was still awake, and said indifferently: "If you found us earlier, we must be very happy to join the Pavoni family, but just this afternoon, your family and Father has already been imprisoned, and now there is no Pavoni family among the nobles in the capital, so what can you support us with?"

Marus opened his mouth, and stammered for a long time: "There are still many things, and many things that have not been removed, and they are all given to you! They all belong to you!"

The man shook his head and said, "We won't send people to do this kind of work, Master Pavoni, can you send us something?"

Of course not, even an entire guard team couldn't take away things at once, what ability does Marus have to send them all to the rebels?

Marus began to tremble all over his body, his jaw was trembling, and he said tremblingly: "Is it so difficult that what I mean to you is just money? I am the heir of the Pavoni family. I am very smart and talented. I Can do many things for you! Just like my father did for King Melwes!"

What Marus said almost made those two people laugh, why?Even a person like Pavoni who can only cling to the powerful is ashamed to say that he is capable and talented, but that's true, when little Milwes ransacked the homes of the old nobles, only courtiers like Pavoni remained in the end. It can be used, and it is also thanks to this that their career of conspiracy is so smooth.

The former duke said: "In the entire capital, if it is only based on talent, I am afraid that only the little Hugh Nuoding is not bad. What are you and your father? They are far from qualified to be mediots. Don't waste my money." It's time, go away."

After finishing speaking, he shook off Marus and walked away with Adrian.

Marus never thought that he lost his family's money and was worthless in the eyes of others. He was dumbfounded. The man in black finally mentioned Xiu Nuoding, which made him almost crazy.

His status, his money, his dream of revenge, are they all shattered like this?Why Hugh Nordin?Why Hugh Nordin again? !He is not reconciled!As long as he can get revenge, he can do anything!Anything can be done!

He frantically chased after them, begging those two people without any image: "Take me! Take me away! I can do anything, let me do anything. I have great strength and good health. You can do anything! You can even be a servant! I have no way out, only you can help me!"

The two men in black were obviously very impatient. Adrian saw their expressions, and immediately pushed away Marus, who was his companion before, and cursed angrily: "Can you be sober! Big Miles His Highness Weiss will not raise a useless person! How can a young master like you be useful as a servant?"

Marus shook his head, wanting to tell Adrian that he is actually very good at serving others, and that Lux Hunodin was very happy to be praised by him, but he couldn't say it, if he said it, he would Really nothing.

So he was dropped.

Before leaving, Adrian took out a wooden box from his body and threw it to him, saying: "Anyway, I don't need this anymore, anyway, thank you for finding me a new home, and you can accept the parting gift. "

Marus raised his face to look at them, with deep despair in his eyes.

Finally he picked up the box and staggered away, disappearing into the night.
