Infrastructure starts from the game

Just when Mido was about to agree, a servant walked in:

"My lord, the city guard is here to report the results of last night's mission."

"City Guard?" Mi Duo asked strangely.

She thought her father was sick simply because of the wind, didn't she?

"Ahem," the count coughed a few times, and said to Mi Duo, "Mi Duo, you go out first."

"Yes, father." Mi Duo replied as usual.

From the past, her father didn't like Mi Duo to touch her work, so Mi Duo has gotten used to it.

Mi Duo obediently stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

As she passed the manservant, she glanced at the manservant.

Mi Duo remembered that this servant was the handyman who was in charge of sundries, and it was not his job to report. In fact, the count used his own housekeeper as his assistant in matters of work, and the handyman should not be the one to make mistakes.

Mido did not see the butler today.

Not only that, but the other servants that my father was more used to were gone.

Mi Duo was somewhat puzzled, but compared to the change of servants, she really cared more about her father's condition.

Although my father refused, it would be better to let that high-ranking white robe take a look, right?

Mido thought so, and walked towards the guest room where the mage was.

"The Count is not ill."

The white robe named Mitch said firmly.

Mi Duo frowned: "I beg you, Master Mage! Father looks very uncomfortable."

"That's because he hasn't gotten used to it yet." Mitch said, he touched his head, "After he gets used to it, he will feel that everything is so beautiful: he doesn't need to be entangled with worldly desires anymore, that great existence will guide his progress If you don’t have to think about your life, you won’t have so many troubles, at least you can escape, and it’s not bad if you don’t have to degenerate into a demon, right? Hahaha..." Mitch’s last words were close to talking to himself, only he could hear it .

Mi Duo looked at the mage with some horror, wondering if there was something wrong with him.

But no matter how wrong the other party is, he is still a high-level mage, and he is still a white robe.

"Master, even if this is the case, please go and see my father!" Mi Duo pleaded, without the white robe who went to see her, she still couldn't rest assured: "Even if you use the basic blessing to calm him down Well, I will pay you enough!"

"My blessing technique, I'm afraid he will be even more uneasy." Mitch said.

Without waiting for Mi Duo to say anything, he waved his hand and pushed Mi Duo out of the door: "Stop making trouble! Compared to him, you might as well worry about yourself, Miss Sacrifice."

What do you mean?

Mi Duo looked at the mage blankly, but the other party closed the door unceremoniously.

Mi Duo had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the family doctor's room.

If white magic doesn't work, then we can only rely on medicine.

The family doctor of the Earl's Mansion is a smiling, round-faced uncle. He has served the Earl's Mansion for almost 20 years. He is best at prescribing the medicine the owner wants according to his wishes.

This time the doctor also smiled: "Lord Earl, it's an old problem! Just take care of yourself. If Miss Mido is worried about Lord Earl, just follow the Earl more. Seeing how well-behaved you are, Lord Earl will definitely feel better Fast."

This ambiguous statement...

Miduo said: "Please show me Father's medicine list."

The doctor smiled and handed out the medicine list.

This is a very familiar medicine list. The medicines on it are the most commonly used medicines by the earl, and they are indeed "old problems".

"Does father know this medicine list?" Mi Duo asked.

"If the Earl does not agree, how dare I take medicine at will?" The doctor laughed.

"……Thank you."

Mi Duo showed a perfect smile, and said to the doctor: "I feel relieved after seeing this medicine list."

The doctor also thinks that my father is not sick!

Mi Duo was walking in the corridor, thinking while biting her lip.

When Bai Pao said that, Mi Duo didn't believe it, she just thought it was an excuse that the other party didn't want to treat the Earl; but the family doctor also said that, which made Mido murmur a little.

What's more, the medicine was requested by the father himself.

Even if the doctor is perfunctory, the earl should eat it as soon as he eats it, there is absolutely no way he doesn't know.

So father also thinks that he is not sick?

Then why does he look like he is dying and thinking about it, urging me to get married?Obviously there is no need to rush, and the wedding is coming soon - when they were engaged, they had agreed that the wedding would be held when Mi Duo graduated, and a month later, Mi Duo would officially graduate.

Of course, the etiquette of nobles is cumbersome. From preparing to get married to actually getting married, it takes two or three years to prepare carefully.

However, the Earl seemed to want Mi Duo to marry tomorrow.

is something happened?

Thinking like this, Mi Duo stood at the bottom of the corridor, looking at her father's room. At this moment, Mi Duo saw the housekeeper from her fiancé's house walking towards this side with the servants.

When the father-in-law is sick, it is natural for the other party to send someone to visit.

But since the other party did not come in person, it would not be possible for Mi Duo to receive him in person.

Mi Duo hesitated for a while, but turned around to avoid the sight of the servants, entered the guest room, passed through the secret passage from the mirror in the guest room, and came to the wardrobe in the count's bedroom.

This secret passage was used by the earl to meet his lover privately.

The count naturally didn't tell Mido, and he was proud of the secrecy of this secret passage, but he didn't know that his daughter had investigated all the mansions under the count's name because of some gossip. What kind of.

Mi Duo hid in the closet, listening to the conversation between his father and the housekeeper of his fiancé's house.

After the initial greetings, the count expressed his poor health and hoped that Mi Duo could get married as soon as possible. The content was no different from what the count had said to Mi Duo before.

"Don't worry, Earl, I will convey your intentions to my master," replied the butler in the fiancé's house, "My young master must be very happy to marry the young lady early."

The Count sighed, "I'm relieved."

...Father is really worried about my marriage!Am I misunderstanding?

Mido thought.

As long as she heard the count's feeble voice, her heart could not be hardened.

But at this time, she heard the count hesitantly ask: "Even if the wedding is prepared in advance, 'that lord' will come over, right?"

That adult?

"I don't dare to talk about the matter of the master," said the housekeeper of the fiancé's house, "but Miss Mi Duo is a very important existence of 'that adult', and he must be present at the wedding."

"Really?" The earl's voice was obviously relieved.

But the housekeeper added: "Even if he has something to do and can't come, he will let Miss Mi Duo and the young master go to the capital to hold the wedding."

"Ah!" The earl's voice was a little panicked, "Then it's all right for me to escort Mido to the king?"

"You are her father, so you naturally have the qualifications." The steward said respectfully, he paused, his voice became gloomy, "It's just, my lord, I have to take the liberty to remind you that according to the agreement, Lord Mido After you get married, no matter what happens, you can't interfere, even if she is seriously ill, you can't visit her."

The count said with a dry smile, "...haha, of course! Besides, my Mi Duo is very healthy and doesn't get sick so easily."

"..."

The butler didn't speak, but his attitude seemed to confirm that Mido would be "seriously ill".

After laughing dryly for a while and realizing that no one was paying attention to him, the count also fell silent.

This unbearable silence lasted for several minutes.

The earl said slowly: "But, 'that lord' will fulfill his promise to me, right?"

"Of course, my lord, you will live a long life." The butler asked an irrelevant answer.

He finally got up to say goodbye.

Mi Duo also walked out of the secret passage in a daze.

There are always countless calculations and considerations in a nobleman's marriage. Mi Duo is mentally prepared, but judging from the conversation just now, her marriage contract is more complicated than she imagined.

——What kind of marriage is the bride thinking about falling ill before she gets married?

And "that lord"... Judging from the background of his fiancé's family, he must be referring to a certain great magician in the Mage Tower!

How could that kind of person value a "mere" daughter of a nobleman?

Mi Duo unexpectedly remembered what the high-ranking mage whom she had just met called her:

"Miss Sacrifice".

Sacrifice?Whose sacrifice?

Before the Tulip Club, Mi Duo's interest was to listen to gossip, but in her position, if she wanted to inquire, she would know a lot of secrets.

Thinking of what happened to him, Mi Duo couldn't help but shudder.

No!

She didn't want to die yet, and she didn't want to fall ill!

The clothes in "Second Age Waltz" have not been collected yet, and the next event is about to start! The magic wand in "Puppet Wars" is not ready either, obviously she only got the materials last night!And the puppet in Dream Candy must be able to upgrade after such a battle, right?Was the enemy last night defeated or not?I fell into a deep sleep without settlement, and I don't know if I got the reward or not.

But, how to refuse the wedding...

Mi Duo raised her head, and found that she might want to escape too much, and she walked to the hall unconsciously.

It's very lively here.

Earl Lantanit can also be regarded as a powerful figure in Shesser, so every time he gets "ill", he will attract a large number of guests, just like just now, when the butler of Mido's fiancé's house left, the people from the city hall arrived.

If it was in the past, the butler of the Earl's Mansion would have handled things in an orderly manner, but today not only the butler is gone, but even the usual servants are gone, so the hall looks a bit chaotic.

Of course, no matter how chaotic it is, it is the servant's business.

The count didn't like Mi Duo's meddling in such matters, and Mi Duo was very obedient before.

Even now, she just frowned at the confusion and wanted to walk away, but before she could turn, she noticed a familiar figure among the guests.

It's Noi, the designer of the teleportation port.

Mr. Noy ​​is now furious: "Please let me meet the Earl! Now is the critical period of the project, there must be a reason for blocking the port for no reason!?"

"Sorry, the count doesn't want to see you." The servant said stiffly.

"Why?!" Noy exclaimed.

"Then we..." asked the city hall official next to him, and His Excellency the Mayor also stood in the crowd with a concerned expression.

Too bad his performance was doomed to fail.

The servant asked stiffly, "Who are you?"

Wow, if this continues, people will be offended, right?So why are the servants absent... no, wait, father's most trusted steward and servant are absent, isn't it just right?

Mi Duo recalled what happened at the teleportation port that day, and she vaguely had a bold idea.

Mi Duo straightened her skirt immediately, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, she strode over.

"What are you doing?" Mido scolded.

The servant in the hall was taken aback by Mi Duo: "Little Miss?"

Mi Duo ignored them, and only pulled up her skirt to salute Mayor Xieser: "I'm sorry, Lord Mayor, my servant is rude."

"City, mayor?" The servant was obviously panicked, "But they said they came for the port, and the count said that nothing related to the port was missing..."

why?

Wasn't father still enthusiastic about repairing the teleportation array before?

"Nonsense!" Mi Duo was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, "Father attaches so much importance to the port project, how could he issue such an order!"

"But..." The servant wanted to argue.

Mido didn't wait for the other party to continue to speak, but frowned and looked at the servant: "Speaking of which, who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

She looked at the other servants again: "Where is the original hall servant?"

"He, they kept vigil last night, so they were sick too."

"Then you can't just let people pass on father's orders here!" Mi Duo said, and ordered, "What are you doing in a daze, take him away, and replace him with someone who is more honest and obedient... just you."

The servant's eyes lit up.

Naturally, Mido does not have this kind of authority. The Earl wants to control everything and does not give Mido such authority.

——In fact, he was also afraid that after Mi Duo got married, if he knew something important in his mind, those mages would find out and control him.

But today the original servants are not there, only some handymen are there.

They originally belonged to the fringe figures of this mansion, and the Earl acted like he doted on Mido to the outside world, so they naturally would not have thought that there was any difference between Mido's order and the Earl's order.

Rather, this time is a great opportunity for a superior position!

The other servants immediately held down the original servant and dragged him away without giving him a chance to make a sound.

Mi Duo saluted Mayor Shesser again: "I'm sorry for letting you see such an indecent scene."

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, the Earl is ill and cannot live without Miss Mido, so he will inevitably overlook some details," the mayor said with a smile, "It's our rash visit that caused trouble."

"Please don't say that, my father is worried about the port!" Mi Duo said, "You came just in time!"

She actually didn't know what happened at the port, but judging by the current situation, it was true.

Mi Duo led the mayor to go inside.

She pretended not to notice that Mr. Noye was following.

"Your Excellency, Mayor? Why are you here?" the count asked in surprise.

He was even more surprised why Mi Duo entertained these officials.

It's just that now is not the time to question his daughter, so the count had no choice but to resist the urge to ask his daughter.

What's more, there are more troublesome existences here than Mi Duo.

The count glanced at Noy, the designer of the teleportation port, and he knew what the other party came for.

After the earl was punched last night, he sent people to the port to catch the puppet that caused the accident, but when the guards arrived, the puppet had already fled. The city guards did not dare to return without the order, so the port was temporarily blocked.

Thinking of the punch last night, the count still felt pain in his face, so he naturally didn't want to deal with puppets or teleportation formations anymore.

Besides, in the original business agreement, there was no agreement that the large teleportation array must be repaired!

After all, the technical difficulty of the teleportation array is too high, and even Cecilia's teleportation array is almost abandoned (although a certain black robe will secretly use it), so they did not agree on the restoration of the teleportation array.

In terms of transportation in the agreement, in addition to adding three trains per day, the Eastern Territory has also obtained the railway construction permit from Xieser, and is willing to actively provide funds and technology to build the magic railway in the Xieser area, and only requires the operating authority of the railway.

——The Earl still doesn't understand why people in the East are so keen on building railways.

It was also the earl who, after discovering the "business opportunities" in Cecilia, reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the East Territory City Hall and rushed back to Cesser to make arrangements. If you walk outside the city, you will naturally have no chance to see the sky rail.

He didn't understand what the railway in the east meant to Shesser.

On the contrary, the Earl felt that there were already enough railways in the Chesser area, and even if the railways were built in the eastern border, it would still be Lala's own goods. How could he refuse such a voluntary payment?

Instead, the earl himself thought of the construction of the teleportation array.

He felt that the teleportation array was still good more than 100 years ago, and it was temporarily abandoned because it offended the aquarium. Maybe it is not so difficult to restore?That's why he let the city hall issue an inhumane order.

In the end, he didn't expect to find trouble for himself. (Earl's perspective)

It's just that the Earl didn't dare to say that the teleportation array was shut down. After all, he was trying to use the golem to get backlash from the business agreement. Who knows if the order to stop this project will cause more trouble.

The Count didn't want his own head to fall off.

But on the other hand, the earl didn't want to be so obedient and listened to it, so he tentatively asked his servants to stop the designer of the port, and adopted a delaying tactic to see if there would be any problems in delaying the project.

That's right!The earl was on the verge of death, using repeated temptations.

Unexpectedly, the daughter brought him in.

Noy is also impatient, how much hair he lost, how many attempts he made, and finally came up with the current repair plan, and the port was blocked before the official start of work, Noy naturally refused to admit it.

He didn't even care about the politeness, and after the earl and the mayor finished greeting, he couldn't wait to say: "Lord earl, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to ask about the teleportation port. I don't know why it is blocked today. I heard it is Is your order not to continue the project?"

"Of course not," said the count.

"So why? When will the port be unsealed?" Noy asked.

The mayor coughed twice: "Mr. Noy, you are too anxious! The Earl must have his reasons."

But the mayor also peeped at the earl, wanting to know the reason why the earl suddenly blocked the port.

The count's already pale face became even uglier.

He wanted to find a reasonable reason not to stop the work and not to continue the work.

At this moment, the count misses his butler a little bit. Normally, such a speech would be made by a clever butler instead of him, but that butler lost his head in yesterday’s mission and lost his head together with other servants. He was resurrected, but the Earl dared not use the other party.

At this time, the Earl heard a soft female voice say: "Mr. Designer, please don't worry."

Mido?

The count looked at his daughter, but saw Mi Duo smiled and said, "Father values ​​this project so much, so naturally he has no intention of stopping work! It's just that when he sent someone to check the progress of the port last night, he found that the puppet was missing. , such a large amount of property disappearance, it is natural to find out the clues, and then block the port."

As expected of my daughter!That's a good excuse!

As long as the missing puppet can't be found, can't the project be stopped forever?

The count thought happily, he didn't think about how Mi Duo knew the puppet was missing.

In fact, Mido is also guessing.

She knew what happened last night better than anyone else, so she knew that after the battle, the puppet was no longer where it was, and when she heard about her father's blockade of the port, she felt guilty that the earl had done so when he discovered that the puppet was missing.

So she said what she just said based on deduction, and looked at her father worriedly: "Father was busy all night yesterday, and he woke up today with a little fever."

The count shivered in unison, and his face became even paler.

"So it is like this!" Everyone suddenly realized.

The mayor even shook the earl's hand and said, "My lord earl, you have really contributed too much to Shesser!"

But there are also ignorant ones.

"The puppet is missing?" Noy asked, "Then what about the project?"

"Of course..." paused, and went to find the puppet.

"Of course we can't stop!" Mido said firmly.

Although the coral got it, how many drills did the "colleagues" do before this project, how can they stop?

And now is a great opportunity for her, Mi Duo, to delay the engagement!

Mido calculated.

That's right, Mi Duo thinks the same as her father now, it's all "Drag Words".

It's just that the Earl wants to delay the construction of the magic circle, and Mi Duo wants to delay the engagement, at least until she finds out what he is going to do to her, she must not marry casually.

So Mi Duo must have a reason for "temporarily not being able to get married".

——For example, the teleportation array project that my father had been thinking about was suspended due to his father's illness, and the housekeeper was not around. Now the only one who can speak for him is his daughter.

No matter what, Mi Duo must seize this opportunity to let everyone think that he is in charge of the preliminary work of this project, so as to postpone the marriage contract.

Of course, the Earl who pretended to be sick may soon "cure from his illness" because he was displeased with Mido's involvement in this matter.

But if his father "has recovered from his illness", there is no reason for Mi Duo to marry in a hurry, right?

As the Earl's daughter, it's normal for her to want a decent and grand wedding!

In short, although Mi Duo doesn't know what she has to do to break the engagement, she can always procrastinate for a long time.

Mi Duo said: "Father attaches so much importance to this project, how can he stop it because of such a trivial matter? What's more, the puppet disappears inexplicably, only the aquarium who broke with us can do it. Isn't our suspension of work just to make them proud? Only Strengthen your security and start construction as soon as possible to catch those troublesome aquariums!"

...Wait a minute, why did you get involved with the aquarium?

The earl was stunned and forgot to refute for a moment.

"But, the puppet is gone..."

"You can rent it from the magic gear again! Didn't your father say it last time? This teleportation array is not a unilateral matter for us, and it is also good for them to open it earlier," Mi Duo said, "Why don't you use this opportunity to negotiate with the East Territory , add the restoration of the teleportation array to the business agreement!"

"No!" No way——

The Count was on the point of screaming.

This project has become the content of the agreement, is he still alive? !

It's just that the agreement played a role, or the rush of anger pulled the injured soul again last night. The earl didn't yell out, he blocked his breath in his throat, rolled his eyes, and fell down.

His consciousness sank into the darkness, and he could only vaguely hear shouts from the side.

"Father!"

"Lord Count!"

"Oh my god, Father, do you care so much about the East Territory commercial agreement? You are so anxious when you hear this? The doctor clearly told you to take good care of your illness, so don't be anxious!"

"Don't worry, Miss Mido, I won't let the Earl's painstaking efforts go to waste, and I will definitely negotiate with the Eastern Realm immediately."

"please."

Whose painstaking efforts?Mido, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to add that kind of agreement——

None!

The earl screamed in his heart.

This time he was completely stunned.
