Chapter 26(1/3)

A trace of light gradually lit up in the darkness. Although the eyes were still blurred, as if they were observing the world through the heavy fog, their vision was slowly becoming clear, as if the fog was gradually dissipating.

Awakened from his coma, Rebow regained a little consciousness, and he turned his head and happened to see Miss Lanty and Miss Frera sitting on the right side of his bed.

Miss Randy was so happy that she cheered softly when she saw Rebe wake up, but she immediately lowered her voice because Miss Frera, beside her, was sleeping heavily against Rebe's bed.

Seeing that Miss Lanti had a hint of fatigue on her face, her face was rosy and her hair was neatly combed, it was obvious that the danger had long passed.

Compared with Miss Lanty, Frera's mental state was obviously much worse. She saw her hair fluffy on her shoulders, her head resting on her arms, and she lie on the edge of the bed and sleeping soundly. As she breathed, her spine was slightly undulating.

"Are you hungry? Or are you a little thirsty?" Miss Randy asked in a low voice.

Rebow glanced at Miss Frera who was asleep.

"She has been waiting for you for three nights, so let her sleep for a while." Miss Randy gently lifted Frera's messy and dangled her hair on her shoulders, and said softly.

"I've been in a coma for three days?" Ruibo was extremely surprised. He never expected that his injury was so serious. Obviously, he could wake up, and there were many lucky ingredients.

"Yes, but we were so worried that my aunt moved back to the villa for you, but she now lives on the other side of the ground floor, the room where Lena originally lived. The creatures in your laboratory scared her." Miss Lanti told Ribo a joke, making Ribo happy.

"My aunt has sent Count Laiwei to protect the surroundings tightly. The envoy will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. He did not expect that you were a magician. The royal knights he brought only escaped more than a dozen people, and most of them fell under your magic." Miss Lanti said with all the words that could make Rebe happy.

"Did Mr. Hyde and Eckert already know about this?" Ribo asked.

"The person who recruited Earls Fesnan and Earl Revey was Mr. Eckert. He always sent people to watch closely around the villa. When the villa caught fire, he had already mobilized Earl Revey's men." Miss Lanti replied, pressing the corner of the quilt that was rolled up by Rebe. Her gentle appearance was like a wife taking care of her husband who had been sick for many years.

But in Miss Lanty's eyes, in addition to gentleness, there was a trace of blame and worry.

Ribo was extremely uneasy by this gaze and said apologetically: "I was too careless this time. I wouldn't have been hurt."

"Promise me, don't take risks like this next time. You make us all very worried. Not to mention Miss Frera and me, even Aina and the others have been unable to sleep for several days, and Miss Lonna. She and her friends are waiting here all day, and they may be coming in a while." Miss Randy did not say a reproach, but her warmth made Rebow feel deeply guilty.

Ruibo felt that he was owing more and more emotionally, and he was worried that he would not be able to pay off all of this in the future.

Maybe, he is really about to become a playboy like his nominal father.

"What are Mr. Hyde and Eckert doing? They shouldn't be silent about it." Ribo asked.

"I don't know very well. You can ask Mr. Eckert in person, and I will send someone to invite him here immediately." Miss Lanty obviously did not want to participate in those conspiracies and assassinations.

"Is Mr. Hyde not here?" Ribo asked.

"Mr. Hyde seems to have gone on a long journey. Some major events have happened in Nangang recently, and it seems to be related to you. Let Eckert tell you." Miss Lanty said this, stretched out her finger and gently tapped Ribo's lips, indicating that Ribo should not speak again.

Ruibo felt a panic in his heart, which was an inexplicable shock.

Miss Randy looked at Ribo, she didn't expect that Ribo was worried about the bad news just after he woke up.

"You have been sleeping for three days and three nights, and you must be very hungry. There are fresh sea crabs that have just been shipped from Nangang in the kitchen. I asked Ailian and the others to pick out the crab meat." Miss Lanti said. The best way to shut up the little husband is to seal his mouth with delicious food.

As he said that, Miss Lanty stood up and walked out the door, and the newly repaired wooden door made a creaking sound.

Miss Frera, who was originally lying quietly beside Rebe, was suddenly awakened, and she opened her sleepy eyes. When she saw Rebe who was already awake, Rebe happily hugged Rebe and kissed him. Compared with Miss Randy, Miss Frera's way of expressing joy was obviously much more intense.

"Okay, everything is over. Miss Frera asks you to take care of Rebow, I'll leave." Miss Randy hid away.

"I don't allow you to take this risk again in the future. I'm worried that I'm so worried when I see you unconscious in the past three days. The shit priest also scared us and said that you will never wake up if you don't do it well." The words Frera said were very similar to Miss Lanty, but they both spoke completely differently.

"You're worried, are you?" Ribo looked at Miss Frera's haggard face and felt sad and ashamed.

"Yes, I can't eat or sleep, are you proud?" Frera glared at Ribo, kissed him again, and then put it in Ribo's ear and said, "Miss Randy is also worried about you. I know, she has cried several times on her back."

Hearing Frera say this, a warm current surged in Ruibo's heart.

"Now that I'm awake, you no longer have to worry. I want to make up for you." Ruibo said sincerely.

Miss Frera said with a mysterious smile: "If you want to repay me, you should wait until you recover. I want you to make good compensation for me. I will not let you go."

"Do you still need to increase interest?" Ribo quipped.

"My interest rate is very high." Miss Frera refused.

Compared with Miss Lanty's restrained and mature manner, Miss Frera's enthusiasm and unrestrainedness was also his favorite.

"By the way, something seemed to have happened to Mr. Hyde, but Miss Lanty refused to tell me, do you know what's going on?" Rebow got no news from Miss Lanty, and called Frera.

Miss Frera curled her lips and said, "I have been focusing on you these two days, so where can I care about other people's affairs?"

"But don't worry, Mr. Hyde can settle everything. You are very young compared to him! You are just a little smarter and have the status of a magic apprentice." Miss Frera said with a smile.

"By the way, the villa has been burned for the fire, why do we still live here? I originally thought everyone would move to the Castle of Serth." Ruibo said.

"It's not because of you, the elder said that your injuries were heavy, so it's best not to move them at will. As for the fire, the villa has been renovated. The stairs and the living room on the second floor are the most severely damaged places. It is impossible to repair them as they are. Miss Meiding transported the collections collected by the family for generations back to the old house in the city, and the second floor has been redecorated.

"The third floor has little loss, not to mention that your laboratory is there. Without your permission, we dare not move that room at will. Moreover, the caterpillars in the laboratory are not something that we can do, and there is no loss in the study. The floor is just because the fire on the second floor has some burning marks. The old lady has been painted and waxed again." Miss Frera said.

Ruibo was no longer worried when he heard that the laboratory and study were not damaged. For him, this was his greatest wealth.

As she was speaking, Miss Lanty walked in and followed the three maids behind her.

The glass plate held in Miss Lanty's hand was filled with white crab meat, while the other three maids were carrying basins, towels and tableware.

Under their service, Ruibo simply washed up and began to enjoy his first meal in three days.

Miss Lanty personally put a napkin on him, while Ailian stood aside and neatly displayed the tableware.

Because Ribo lost too much blood, his favorite lemon juice on weekdays was replaced with ordinary sour vinegar.

"How is Lena's body?" Ribo asked in a message.

"You are still thinking about others!" Ailian snorted softly, she was the most lively among the three maids.

"Don't worry, Lina's body is healthier than you. She could get out of bed and walk, but Miss Meiding told her to rest for a while." Qinna comforted. She didn't want Ruibo to be anxious.

"Ribo, please recover quickly. When your health is well, we will move to the city. The villas in the suburbs are relatively remote and not very safe. My aunt has cleaned up the old house in the city. Earl Fesnan means the same. He is afraid of another accident." Miss Lanti said.

"Aren't those Royal Knights almost dead?" Xue Na interrupted.

Miss Randy glared at her softly, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously not really angry.

"That Count Robert did lose his troops, but it is hard to say that he would not find any other helpers. This time he would never be so reckless. He already knew the identity of Ribo as a magician. He would definitely use the method of dealing with magicians to deal with us, and it would be a more fierce and rapid attack." Miss Lanti actually said this to Ribo.

"How many subordinates did that envoy lose?" Ruibo was very interested in his victory.

Miss Landy finally decided to satisfy her husband's wishes. For a patient, pride is not a bad thing.

"Your magic is quite deadly. At least twenty royal knights died on the spot. Most of the remaining people were paralyzed in bed. The church pastor told me that they might have to spend the rest of their lives like this, and there are probably less than ten who are lucky enough to recover. Now the Count Robert is alone, almost everyone is watching his jokes. He now has no guards who act as a guard of honor around him."

Rebow was really happy to hear Miss Lanti’s description, and was really excited about having such a result.

Just as Ruibo was enjoying the rich and beautiful breakfast with great enthusiasm, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of a carriage driving into the bluestone ramp in front of the villa came from outside the window.

"Mr. Eckert must have come. I just ordered someone to invite him." Miss Lanty guessed.

Ailian opened the curtain and looked outside and looked out: "Miss, you guessed it's Mr. Eckert."

Miss Landy nodded and waved her hand to greet the maids and walked out the door with her.

The responsibility for taking care of Ribo naturally fell on Frera.

Frera was not as shy as Miss Randy. She sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against Ribo. This was originally something she used to doing, and it was her unique skill to attract and tease customers. However, she had a different kind of warmth when leaning with Ribo. Frera liked this feeling very much.

The door was opened, and Eckert walked in, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, but not the carnations that were often brought by the patient, but a bouquet of yellow orchids.

Putting the bouquet on the edge of Rebbo's bed, Eckert glanced at Frera who was intimate with Rebbo's. He had to admire his students' superb skills and had the ability to pick this thorny rose.

There have been rumors in their circle that the guy who can pick the flower of Frera can definitely be called the man among men.

Because Frera is not only the most beautiful prostitute in Nangang, but also because she has a million yuan net worth, nor because she has a wide knowledge and talent, but because she has never taken any man seriously.

Even the boss was just an old man who owed a favor to her, and Kelle didn't take it in her eyes. As for himself, what embarrassed Eckert was that he had been thorned by this thorny rose.

This is not just a rose with thorns, but a rose with thorns. It can make you feel pain for a while after tying it.

"Ribo, I'm so happy to see you wake up. I've sent someone to inform Mr. Hyde about this and he will arrive at Serthburg as soon as possible." Eckert said with a smile.

"Has the matter in Nangang been resolved yet?" Ruibo asked in confusion. He originally thought that Nangang should have nothing to do.

Eckert hesitated for a while, looked at Ribo again, and then slowly said, "We may have been in big trouble. The Earl Robert used some sweet words to motivate some merchants, who were clamoring for independence and autonomy."

"Has I solved this matter? I have asked Earl Fesnan to move those merchants who are trying to be independent from Nangang. Why is there any more?" Ruibo did not want to claim how clever he was, but he clearly remembered that when Earl Robert heard that his businessmen in Nangang were trying to be independent, the expression on his face showed that he had planned to give up making trouble with the merchants in Nangang.

"The Earl Robert had already planned to let go. He felt that there was little hope for this matter, and it might also bring you a lot of benefits from it. But now the situation is a bit out of control. The merchants seemed to see from the Earl Robert that there were some differences between the king and the Serthborg. In addition to the benefits promised by Robert, the merchants planned to get benefits from it, and some even wrote a letter to His Majesty the King." Eckert told everything that happened in the Port of Ribonan in detail.

"Don't they know that this is a food court with a tiger?" Ruibo asked in confusion.

"Things in the world are not that simple. Those who have been born and raised in Nangang and have worked hard to build this place to this size today will never think like this. However, those who later, those merchants who think they have a connection with the nobles in other places do not think like this.

"If His Majesty the King takes back his power, he will not do anything to them. They can still enjoy privileges. Moreover, after driving away the merchants who were deeply rooted in Nangang, all the trade in Nangang fell into their hands. Therefore, there are many people who want to profit from it. They not only rely on the power of Count Robert, but also have their own backers to support it."

No one knows the darkness, greed and stupidity of human nature more than Eckert, and he explains everything carefully to Rebow.

"Mr. Hyde has no way of doing these people?" Ribo felt extremely surprised.

Of course, Eckert knew very well what Ribo was thinking about. After being with them for so long, Ribo's way of thinking about problems has gradually become the same as theirs.

For thieves, the ultimate way to solve the problem is to resort to force.

Thieves can be said to be the most admired profession in the world that worships force, and are even far above soldiers and knights.

Because the wars involved in by soldiers and knights are in a righteous and upright battle after all, they always maintain a cautious attitude towards force, but thieves are completely different. These people who walk in the dark and are good at stabbing their knives in the back have a ruthless and fierce understanding of force, and they believe that it is better to start first.

"Mr. Hyde naturally has enough means to deal with those merchants, but..." Eckert said hesitantly: "But our ally, Mr. Mair, he is unwilling to make the place of Southport a violent world. His claims are contrary to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Mair is uniting the members of the chamber of commerce that he can influence, intending to divide the merchants who are united and clamoring for independence through negotiation."

Ruibo frowned. He never expected that things would turn out like this. Now the situation has completely lost control, but the reason for the loss of control is not them, but the foundation of the entire plan has been shaken.
To be continued...
