According to the City Lord of Silver Light, it is impossible for the down-and-out Ge Lan family to have any money left to help the poor. That is to say, the expanded house and the hot porridge distributed should all come from the handwriting of Viscount Sommer.
No matter what the other party's consideration was, he chose to bring Hyde into his family instead of helping him selflessly like the legends circulated among the nobles, but the result didn't look bad. Those who are willing to supply money and food to those who lack food and clothing, and do not expect anything in return, will not be so sinister in their hearts. What's more, the Sommer family still uses Hyde to release their goodwill, which is also a kind of compensation in a sense.
Taking a step back, even if Hyde was having a bad day, she wouldn't intervene.
She came here just to see her childhood home, and... to miss the past a little.
Just as Nightingale was about to go to another place, a strange feeling suddenly surfaced in her heart.
Wait, she stopped, what was wrong
The poor in ragged clothes, the servants who maintain order, the guards who guard the mansion, and the nobles who are in charge of the overall situation... She glanced around the courtyard again, and her brows could not help frowning.
Hyde didn't wear the God's Stone of Retaliation, not even the worst kind.
Under the fog, his appearance and clothes were clear, but the guards at the gate of the mansion were covered by a black hole for most of his body, and only the scabbard exposed at his feet could be seen.
As it turned out, Nightingale immediately realized the source of the strange feeling: Why didn't a Viscount heir wear the Stone of God's Punishment
Even the guards are with them!
Because Hyde has no prejudice against witches? She rejected the answer as soon as it came out. She still remembered the disgusted expression when the other party said, "I really hope that without this sister, the witch should go to hell to be with the devil", even if the ability at that time was still indistinguishable. Lies, but just by looking at his eyes, I know that these words are sincere.
Because he has no money to buy the divine stone? This may be true for the poor nobles, but it does not apply to the current situation.
After a moment of hesitation, Nightingale turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Just as she crossed the gate of the mansion, the whispered conversation of the two guards entered her ears.
"Nobles are really a terrible type of people. Obviously this guy lives about the same as us, and he is as obedient as a dog in front of adults. He can change his clothes to be completely different. Is it possible that adults often talk about it? The background of the edge?"
"Stop talking nonsense," another person scolded, "The Viscount is in the room now. If anyone hears and tells him, you don't want this month's salary."
"Don't worry, my ears are very good, and I can detect when someone approaches." The man shrugged, "Besides, it's not something I made up to be like a dog. The adults have a bad temper and scold so loudly, people upstairs and downstairs. You can hear it clearly."
"Since you know that he has a bad temper, you shouldn't cause trouble at this time," the latter said angrily, "No matter how much you scold him, he is still a noble. What are you? There is a surname that can be said in the clan. Even the foreman in the next village is more famous than you. If your uncle didn't let me watch you, I wouldn't care what you said.
"Yes, I'll shut up, okay... eh?" He suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?"
"Why do I feel like someone has passed by..." He looked around, "It's probably an illusion."
…
Ignoring the guards at the door, Nightingale walked in directly through the wall, and quickly found out through the Divine Stone Domain that the higher the identity of the room the Viscount was in, the better the quality of the Divine Stone she usually carried. And rarely miss.
When she heard that Dot Sommer was here, she faintly realized that the relief porridge in the courtyard might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
There was more than one Viscount in the room. In addition to a well-armed knight serving as the guard, there was also an old man in a robe standing in front of the desk, looking like a bachelor in the old capital.
"Lord Dort, you shouldn't be angry with Sir Hyde yesterday. Although he has surrendered to you, it is easier for him to play his role with proper leniency."
"I know, but I can't control it!" Dot Sommer, who was sitting in the high-back chair, slapped the table angrily, "It took more than ten years to get to this situation, seeing the two pieces of land to the east. It all belongs to me, but I didn't expect that Roland Wimbledon would take it all away with a casual word! Did you hear what that old immortal said? Willing to take the lead in handing over the entitlement and fully support Your Majesty New Deal! He doesn't need to think that others don't need it? I'm really mad at me!"
"Smile, my lord... keep smiling, you said these complaints last night," the bachelor said, stroking his beard. "If you are so unwilling, why don't you refuse on the spot?"
"Uh..." Dot choked for a moment, and then said displeasedly, "Even Tifeko's Royal Knights can't stop Roland's blow, what can I do to refuse? Do you want me to die on the spot!"
"So these complaints are pointless other than making things worse, and in that case, do you want to continue?"
"Damn it!" The Viscount was deadlocked for a while, and finally said angrily.
"What Your Majesty has taken back is only the right to sub-entitlement. You can follow Earl William's practice and manage the existing properties on the territory without much loss."
"But without the jurisdiction, those greedy patrols will come here sooner or later. What excuse will I use to stop them?" Dot shook his head repeatedly, "You know what I am selling, once it is found out, only for the gallows."
"Then give up this part of the business," the bachelor said without hesitation, "I said long ago that this is not a long-term solution. Now that you have saved enough principal, the church has no binding force at all. Put your energy into regular business, otherwise why would you go to great lengths to get the land of the Ge Lan family in your hands, isn't it just to get off the single-plank bridge?"
The Viscount hesitated for a long time, and it was obvious that he could not give up another living income. It was not until half an hour later that he nodded fiercely, "I know, this relief is the last time, after Hyde is over, I will told him personally."
"Don't stop abruptly, lest people arouse suspicion, and it's okay to put it on for a while. Just tell the other side, don't come and get the goods again."
"Okay, just do as you said." After deciding to give up the unstable business that the bachelor said, Dot also completely relaxed, leaning back on the chair and laughing, "I think back then, the two of the Glenn family must have I don't know what they missed, and since that's the case, I can only take it. I'm afraid that guy Hyde still thinks his parents died in a refugee riot, right? Hahaha..."
This sentence made Nightingale's pupils instantly shrink.
