Chapter One(2/2)

"And since those fat sheep brought the glass of Serthburg to the capital and told everyone that Serthburg could produce glass products as beautiful as Yilei, the king seemed to be interested in winning over the eldest master, so Eckert was able to be in full bloom in the capital." "Have Eckert thought of any countermeasures?" Ruibo asked.

"No, Eckert asked me to tell you, adapt to the situation." Brother Faying took out a small notebook from his pocket as he said.

"This describes some of the information he has collected in recent days, including the personnel appointments and dismissals and transfers of the Law and Political Department, the Supervision Office, the Judicial Department, the Supreme Court, the Court Adviser, the Cabinet Legal Supervision Department, and the situation of officials of those agencies and their families. Along the way, you should have figured it out, and then compare the changes in this booklet, you should be able to see some of the names."

Ruibo took the booklet, flipped it over slightly, and put it into the pocket of his clothes on his left.

"By the way, there is another news. I must tell you that my subordinates heard something from their local colleagues. Recently, many strangers have come to Frank. They all bring guys with them. It seems that they are not good at coming. However, these guys are obviously not people in our field. They all carry armor and horses. There are such people living under us. The brothers here tell me that there are at least seven or eight guys, and they are obviously not small characters. This is not a place where poor people like me can afford to live." Brother Faying pointed at the bottom with his index finger and said.

"You won't just stand by and watch the fun, have you ever explored their foundation?" Frera asked, a smile on the corner of her mouth, because she could hear from the slick tone of the little thief's head that this guy was sucking their appetite and bargaining.

"Sister, how could I take such a thing lightly for you? Even if I go through fire and water, I have to clear their old foundation." "The total number of these people is about 300, scattered around Franck. I guess these guys are soldiers, because I found some crossbows in their carriage, all of which are heavy guys. In addition to crossbows, there are fire meteors. Be good, it is enough to sweep this place." Brother Faying said, obviously he was quite proud, leaning back and leaning his feet on the edge of the bed.

"Is anyone under your command staring at them?" Frera asked.

"My brothers, as the actor told me, I watched the big bosses in the capital. I felt that there was not enough staff, so how could I send people to stare at these guys who were not related to us?" Brother Faying said with a smile: "However, there are many people here who are willing to work for you after collecting money. I can reach a deal with them, but I don't have much money." Brother Faying reached out to Ted.

Ted turned his head and looked at Ribo and Frera. He didn't dare to make decisions on this matter casually. After thinking for a while, Ribo nodded. Brother Freshing saw Ribo nodding and agreed, he immediately smiled. The money was enough for him and his little brothers to have a good time. Frera disagreedly crossed her arms and hugged her chest, leaning against the chair and looking at the ceiling. Obviously, she didn't want to participate in this matter at all.

"Sister, this matter is not unrelated to you. It's better to help you come up with some ideas." Brother Faring knew Frera far more than others. Paim once told him that Frera was one of the successors he was interested in. Once Eckert had an accident, Frera would be the natural candidate to take over Eckert's position. Paim also said that in case of a major event, if Eckert is not around and the matter is quite urgent, it's best to ask Frera's opinion. Frera is also a first-hand person who is good at using his brain.

"What else can I say? I feel at ease with you to protect me." Frera still looked disapproving.

"Sister, if those guys really come for us, I'm afraid that even Ted and this kid will not be able to escape their lives, this time, those people are obviously prepared. Although Eckert thinks that the king will not be so stupid that he will do something that makes people hold the handle again, this kind of thing may not be accurate. Maybe the king is indeed a natural idiot."

"Yes, Miss Frera, I hope this matter can be resolved safely and not hurt anyone. I don't even want everyone to be frightened. After all, those who have been with me in the past few adventures were strong men like Mr. Hyde and Celtic. They would never have any fear or fear. However, this time, except for Ted and I, everyone is a weak woman like you. I want to consider it. Therefore, I hope to get help from everyone." Rebow stroked Frera's slender hand and said softly.

Faying, who was sitting opposite, felt goosebumps all over his body. He had never seen such a scene before. In his memory, the eldest sister had always been a fierce character. She was either teasing others or teasing her. This kind of warm and creepy scene seemed to have never had a chance with the eldest sister. Faying quickly turned her body, and he would definitely vomit it if he continued to watch. He even felt that the temperature of the fire was not enough to restrain the coldness.

"Okay." Frera kissed Ribo and leaned her body in Ribo's arms. She knocked on the head of the bed and said, "Little thief, in our business, intelligence and manpower are extremely important. I pay you to come forward and buy some eyeliner. As for your brothers, gather them up and have something to do."

"The capital city is a place where all the religions and all walks of life gather. You can always find some people who use money to eliminate disasters and solve problems for others. You can choose a few good players."

"With the heavy guy, there is a large group of people. No matter where the local snakes there will definitely pay attention to these characters. You can find a way to make the local snakes regard these mysterious characters as enemies. Even if they cannot play a restraining role, it is good to get some information."

"Sister, don't need to say that, I have also recruited some new brothers, and the fast legs here are very familiar with me. They are familiar with the locals and have a wide face. It is really convenient for them to do things. However, Sister, only you can come up with such a solution. Eckert also came up with some ideas, but none of them are poisonous. No wonder, everyone says that it is the most poisonous woman's heart." Brother Faying said with a laugh.

Frera didn't care about Brother Faying's mockery at all, and she asked, "Are you familiar with the local snake here?"

"There is no leader in this place. Several gangs have their own power. The hotel you stay in is one of them. They are my colleagues, but their power is limited to this small place in the western suburbs."

"There are two thieves in the city, one is called 'Fatty Toro'. He opened an antique shop and secretly specializes in selling stolen goods. He has fifty or sixty golden fingers and nearly three hundred spies. I am very familiar with Fatty's subordinates. The other thief is called Willy. He has an official background and is an official spy. He has about one hundred people under him, all of whom are very arrogant."

"In addition to the thieves, the most powerful are a few smuggling groups. They are not only powerful but also have deep foundations. Most of them have contacts with the upper class. Most of the smuggling goods are sold to wealthy families. I'm afraid these people will not be able to interact with us."

"There are some gangsters, so I won't say much. Even if these people are bought by us, they are useless." Brother Faying said everything he knew. At the end of the day, he added: "Don't look at the capital that is so big, there are only such a level, and there are not many people I like."

"Nonsense, the head's men are rich and have people. All of your troubles were trained by Celtic and Eckert, so it's naturally extraordinary." Frera said disapprovingly.

"Has Celtic taught them their skills?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it, but for you, there is nothing new. You are Celtic's personal disciple and have learned much more than us. Celtic just taught us how to play knives. It is very useful to stab people from the back, and it is not difficult to learn. I have learned a lot from a smart person like me. As for Eckert, most of the things he taught have learned, how to survey the terrain and how to capture others' foundation. The only new thing is how to pretend to be a good child, just like this guy before. Fortunately, I don't have to do this chore, and I was so harsh that I was so embarrassed." Brother Faying shook his head, as if he wanted to throw that memory out of his mind. Until now, he still felt extremely strange, how could Ribo endure that kind of life. In Brother Faying's opinion, that kind of life is simply kept in a cage.

"By the way, the actor asked me to tell you that there is a new thing in the capital called newspapers. This is something that has suddenly become popular in recent years. The goods sold by newspapers are news. The actor asked you to use your brain to find ways to get these newspapers into your hands. There are also detectives from the Legal Affairs and Political Department, and spies from the Supervision Bureau are also objects that can be bought." Brother Fa Ying said.

"Why didn't he do this himself?" Frera asked disapprovingly.

"The actor is not very good enough. He lacks the status of a nobleman, so he has to ask the eldest master to take action." Brother Faying replied: "The actor's idea has been written in the booklet, and the eldest master should do it with a little use of his brain."

"Okay, if there is nothing, I will do my own thing, but--" Brother Faying once again spread his hands: "Give the money."

Frera poked Ribo with his elbow. Rebra naturally understood what Frera meant. He took out a purse from his pocket and threw it gently. The purse drew a beautiful arc and fell faintly into Brother Faying's hand. Brother Faying weighed it with his hand and already knew about how many gold coins were inside. This was his skill he had learned in his years of pickpocketing career.

"You are more generous than Peam, it's quite good to follow you." After saying this, Brother Faying turned around and walked out of Ruibo's room, Ted walked out with him.

The hall seemed quite empty, with only two people, Ribo and Frera.

"Will we have trouble this time?" Frera asked, revealing a bird-like appearance.

"I hope nothing will be fine. Mr. Hyde is not here, and Kelle is not here. I don't have the confidence to protect you all." Rebow said worriedly.

"I am very confident in you. You should be more confident. You are no longer the one you back then. I don't believe that anyone in this world can deal with that puppet, let alone, have you learned new magic?" Frera encouraged Ruibo.

"That puppet was not following my orders. It was probably the only puppet in the world who made his own decisions. It had a magic contract with me and would protect my safety, but I was not sure about you." Ruibo said worriedly. In fact, since he signed a contract with the puppet, the guy had not appeared in front of him once, and he always lay in his chest like a gold coin.

"As for those magic, there is no time to practice along the way, and the power of these magic is probably greatly reduced when used in the snow and ice." Ruibo sighed and said.

"It's so interesting to see you're worried. Don't worry, I will help you, everyone here will help you." Frera approached Ribo and whispered, as if a gentle elder sister was coaxing the wronged little brother.

At this moment, Miss Lanti knocked on the door and walked in. She had long been used to the scene in front of her. Miss Lanti was always envious of Frera's ability to be so relaxed, but the tutor of Miss Medin and the reserve inherited from her bloodline always made her unable to integrate into Frera and Rebow. Miss Lanti also knew that Miss Finney was as confused as she was, but the object she envied was Miss Listen. Although they first met Finney, their relationship was not much closer in the past few days. Instead, the relationship between Listen and Rebow was much closer. Listen's carefree, courageous and dared to love and hate was somewhat similar to Frera.

"Miss Randy, when we discuss things in the future, you don't need to hide in the room and not come out. Sometimes, I want to hear your opinions." Ruibo said.

"Ribo, I know what you mean, but my aunt and I have discussed it with me. It is not convenient for me to intervene in your affairs, nor to know your secrets." Miss Lanti said, her tone of tact and low.

Rebow nodded silently. This was an insurmountable gap between him and Miss Lanti. Both him and Miss Lanti were involuntarily responsible. Miss Lanti was responsible for inheriting Thursburg and continuing the bloodline of the Medin family. This was not only the meaning of Miss Lanti, but also the family bloodline that Miss Lanti had to do this. The bloodline of the family could be thieves, but the reputation of the family could never be involved with the thieves. For a family, nothing is more important than a clean family reputation.

...

Ted's prediction of the weather is always so accurate. Lunch is not over yet and everyone is still enjoying the dessert after the meal, the blizzard has indeed arrived as scheduled. The strong wind swept and howling, and the snowflakes slapped the windows and even made a series of crisp sounds. In less than a quarter of an hour, the continuous white snow falling from the sky enveloped everything outside the window in a white area.

Looking out from the window, the street was already empty, and the cold and the whistling wind sealed most people in the house. Even in the room, the cold still came in desperately through the gaps between the doors and windows. Everyone had to hold plates and squeeze in in front of the fireplace in the living room. The fire was burning with a big fire. But even so, those ladies who grew up in the south and rarely saw snow were still shivering from the cold.

"It's so cold. Fortunately, we entered the city. If we were still in the wilderness, we would probably all be frozen to death." Listin said while roasting the fire.

"If it's too cold to bear that, then in a few weeks, you will be even more unbearable. The more time goes by, the colder the weather will become. Before spring comes, most of the time will be much colder than it is now," said Frera.

She had a prescient vision and occupied the best position near the fireplace, with a wool blanket on her knees, so she didn't feel cold.

"Oh my god, the weather gets colder? How do people live? They will be frozen to death when they stay at home all day." Listin screamed. Sometimes this little girl was really shocked.

Miss Landy immediately comforted: "Don't worry, you feel cold because this hotel is decorated very luxuriously and beautifully, but it is not warm. When you come to the city, most houses are carefully designed in this regard. No matter how cold the outdoors are, the inside of the house is always very warm. After entering the city tomorrow, I will definitely arrange the warmest room for you." As he was speaking, heavy footsteps came from the stairs.

As soon as Ted walked into the living room, he took off the heavy coat covered with ice and snow and threw it aside. The layer of ice and snow wrapped in the clothes was dried by the heat in the room and immediately turned into a pool of snow water.

"This snow will probably take two or three days. I'm worried that even after the blizzard, the roads will still be out of traffic." Ted frowned and said, "It's rare to have such heavy snow in this kind of place. It seems that the weather is particularly cold this year. The roads to the north may have sealed the heavy snow."

Walking to the fireplace and half-squatted, Ted asked with a frown, "This blizzard may last for two or three days. Will we go to the city tomorrow, or will we still stay in this place?"

Rebow and Frera naturally understood what Ted meant. It was a good excuse to stay in this place because of the blizzard. In three days, there was enough time to contact Eckert and enough time to prepare. Rebow took a look, and Listen and Finney were shivering around him, and then looked at Miss Lanty who was rubbing her knees gently. He became a little hesitant again.

"Go into the city, go to the city tomorrow, but I'm worried that after a day of heavy snow, the snow accumulated on the streets tomorrow may make cars and horses unpassable. If the blizzard does not stop, no one will come out to shovel the snow." Ruibo sighed and said.

"Don't worry, when I just sent that little messenger sent by Mr. Eckert, I saw that the means of transportation he was riding was a sled. If I were to enter the city tomorrow, I would go and get a few carriages here, and wait until the blizzard stopped." Ted said calmly.

"Ribbe, don't worry about us..." Miss Lanti said softly, but in front of Finney and Listen, she could not explain many things clearly. She was sensitive and could see that after the slick boy came, both Reibbet and Ted's expression were a little unnatural, and the atmosphere became much heavier. Under the guidance of Miss Meading, she aimed to become a female lord, and naturally could guess what kind of bad news the boy brought.

Raybo did not answer her words, but instead gently touched her cold hands and said, "Although the room here looks good, it is really cold inside, especially the row of floor-to-ceiling windows cannot keep warm at all. The fire in the fireplace in the bedroom is too weak. We are all people who have grown up in the south since childhood, so it is not suitable to live here."

Ted said while reaching his hand into the fireplace and baking it on fire, "Tonight, you'd better not sleep. Although it's uncomfortable, you can squeeze next to the fireplace for one night and wear two more clothes so that you won't be frozen."

"There are also bedding and blankets on the bed that can come in handy. Lanti, can you tell Xue Na and the others to prepare?" Frera said.

Before Miss Randy could react, Listen had already pulled Finney to their bedroom, and they absolutely followed Miss Frera's advice.

Seeing the two little girls walking away from a distance, Ted lowered his voice and said, "I went outside for a walk just now. What I saw was a little different from Brother France and Ying."

"Those people didn't seem to be coming for us, and they were indeed soldiers, or knights. The people that Brother France and Ying pointed out to me may be about the same as mine."

Rebe frowned, and Ted's words made him feel that the situation was even more unpredictable. It would be difficult to suppress small corps in this way. Therefore, their target was obviously not His Majesty the King. There were only two valuable targets left, one was himself, and the other was undoubtedly His Highness, the prince of the Kingdom of Delizhi. Although the king signed an agreement with Delizhi, once Prince Delizhi died in Franck, this originally fragile agreement would immediately become a bubble. Moreover, King Delizhi, who suffered the pain of losing his son, would most likely carry the whole country's troops to fight westward and attack the Kingdom of Francis. At that time, Prince Phillips could naturally drive His Majesty the current king off the stage. Rebe turned his head and looked at Miss Frera. The expression on Frera's face proved that her opinion was not much different.

"There is no use to speculate randomly now. Just let the little slip-on stare at those guys. No matter who their target is, it will not be beneficial to us so far. Once chaos occurs in the capital, the pressure we face will become greater." Frera said.
