Soon, Lucy Luo was the first to break the silence.
She took off the necklace she had been wearing from her neck and took off the pendant on it.
The pendant is in the shape of a water bottle with concave sides and a convex middle. It is also exquisitely carved with complex patterns and has a metal bottle cap.
Lucy Luo opened the cap of the water bottle pendant, and a choking smell instantly filled the entire reception room.
Lovren frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Luo Lucy stood up, took out a bottle of wine and a cup from the cabinet by the wall, paused, took out another cup, and returned to her seat to sit down.
Open the wine bottle and fill a cup, the amber liquid pours out, and the strong aroma of the wine immediately dilutes the previous pungent smell.
"Emerald Dream." Luo Lucy picked up the water bottle-shaped pendant and shook it in front of Lovren. Then she tilted the mouth of the bottle extremely carefully and dropped a drop of liquid from the bottle into the wine glass. In an instant, the amber wine
The liquid seemed to be dyed, turning into light green at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was strange and abnormal. "One drop, mixed into the wine, will cause a painless death within a minute. I think you can use it too."
Luo Lucy closed the lid of the water bottle pendant and pushed the wine bottle and another empty wine glass in front of Lovren.
"Brother, I know you still have a lot of things to do, and I should accompany you to deal with it, but I'm sorry, I'm really too tired. Actually, looking back, why are we doing this? I'm doing it for money, that's because
This is what matters most to me when I marry into the family; Brother Carlos did it for military exploits. He wanted to be a general who expanded the territory since he was a child, but unfortunately he missed the opportunity; and you want to carry forward the Kolbenson family and become a
A noble who can truly play an important role in the empire. In fact, Brother Carlos and I both know your dream, and we also know that you are not angry with your father's choice and want to prove him wrong. Why don't we be the same as you? But in fact
It was us who were wrong, but my father's vision was right, and Geer was much better than we imagined."
After a long sigh, Lovren smiled and shook his head, sighing: "Yes, we were wrong. I feel relieved that the Korbenson family is in his hands."
"Brother, just let go. Okay, I won't say any more. I'm going to take the first step. I heard that the Emerald Dream tastes very good, but unfortunately no one can prove it..." Luo Lucy raised her wine glass,
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
Lovren looked at his sister's smile, just like the one who followed him every day as a child, being his tail, and playing around together, so innocent, so beautiful, so carefree...
"Goodbye, brother." Lucy Luo drank the wine in her glass. "It tastes really good. I'll go find Brother Carlos first and ask him to wait for us."
"Well, wait for me, it won't be too long." Lovren nodded heavily, a tear slipped down his face, but he still kept a smile on his face.
Luo Xixi smiled, closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, and stopped talking.
Not long after, in Lovren's eyes, visible blue air appeared on her cheeks, but there was no expression of pain. Soon her breathing gradually slowed down until there was no more...
Seeing his sister losing her life in front of him, Lovren could no longer maintain his smile and burst into tears.
"We'll see you soon."
Lovren stood up with red eyes, picked up all the wine bottles, cups and pendants, and headed towards the second floor.
That's where his and Carlos' families live.
…
"grown ups!"
Geer saw the person coming, it was Georgia, the deputy instructor of the Cavalry Battalion, and there were several people behind him, all of whom were reserve knights in the Cavalry Battalion.
"Chief Gabriel sent us to support you." Georgia bowed respectfully to Geer.
Geer nodded: "Just stay here and watch."
This is Gabriel's show of goodwill towards Geer. He has a strong ability to judge form. Judging from the development of the situation, it is clear that no one can stop Geer from becoming Baron Corbenson after this night, so
He immediately sent someone to sell it. The earlier the better when it comes to standing in line.
"What's going on in the tower?" Geer asked.
"A few mercenaries fled to the second floor and killed several servants. They were surrounded and killed by Chief Gabriel himself. Before I came, the fifth and sixth floors had been searched, and the chief was leading people to evict them.
Layer the search to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.”
"grown ups!"
Another group of people came running over. Judging from their attire, they should be from the city guard station.
"Chief Burian sent us here to obey your orders." The leading non-commissioned officer ran to Geer and saluted.
Brian was the commander of the city guard. Obviously his sense of smell was no worse than Gabriel's, and he immediately responded correctly.
To be sent here by Gabriel at this time, Georgia was undoubtedly his confidant and understood his intentions very well. He immediately glared at the guy in front of him who ran over to grab the credit.
The noncommissioned officer was unambiguous and stared back. The city guard and the knight camp were originally two systems. No one could control the other. Who had a higher status and who had a lower status depended on where the lord's ideas and resources were directed. Usually in the tavern
When they were drinking, there were many fights between the two parties. One side had more people and the other had stronger personal strength. The other side was equally matched, and the hatred between the two parties continued. They could never get along, so for this person who was far more powerful than himself
The knight, a non-commissioned officer, was not afraid either.
However, both of them knew that there was no room for them to mess around in front of Geer, so they both maintained restraint and only used their eyes to fight.
Geer smiled and felt that the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene of two wild dogs fighting for a bone. Georgia and the sergeant were the two wild dogs, and he was the tempting bone.
I really don't know what will happen to them after they learn of their decision.
Geer made a malicious guess, and then sent the soldiers from the city guard station led by the sergeant to help maintain order, leaving Georgia, who had fewer people, by his side, and separated the two sides.
"Sir, there's something wrong with this smell?" He proudly watched the somewhat frustrated noncommissioned officer lead the people away. Georgia's sharp senses brought to him by his body far beyond that of ordinary people made him smell a bit of something wrong. The source of the smell was the person in front of him.
The house where the three Gerald relatives lived.
Geer didn't say anything. He had smelled the smell earlier and could clearly tell it was the smell of lamp oil.
…
Lovren, who seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years, moved back to the living room step by step. There was only a little wine left in the wine bottle in his hand, and the wine glass had already fallen after he finally fed the wine to his most beloved son.
It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
There was a square iron bucket in hand, which contained lamp oil for replenishment. At this time, the inventory inside was running low. As Lovren walked around the entire house several times, the lamp oil had been sprinkled all over the house.
In most areas, only the reception room has not been visited.
After walking around the reception room, Lovren walked to the conference table and threw the oil drum into the corner.
After pouring the last bit of the Emerald Dream in the pendant into the wine bottle, Lovren carefully strung the pendant back onto the necklace, and then took it to his sister who had lost her life. Then he came to Carlos and helped him get his clothes ready.
Neatly, all the crooked badges were hung up again, just like Baron Andrei who is now lying in the grave.
After thinking about it, Lovren went to the clothes rack nearby, took a gentleman's hat from it and put it on Carlos, covering up the ugly and ferocious wound.
After doing all this, Lovren returned to his seat and sat down.
"I'm here, don't run away."
Lovren straightened his collar, raised the wine bottle, and shouted to the empty space: "Cheers!"
Drink it all in one gulp.
At the same time, he drew a flame with the match he had already prepared and threw it on the floor aside. The flame immediately ignited and followed the path of the lamp oil. In a short time, the house was dragged into the sea of fire.
Leaning on the long-backed chair, Lovren felt that life was gradually leaving his body. The flames around him were rising, but he could not feel the heat of the flames. The coldness, which penetrated deep into his bones, was slowly drowning him.
At the last moment of his life, Lovren's brain became clear. Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand... Luo Lucy is
Money, Carlos is power, and I am power. Use the three of us as sacrifices to usher in the new life of Colbenson in the fire. Yes, that's it, father... you also... think so...
Right..."
After the voice fell, Lovren closed his eyes and passed away.
The flames soared and engulfed everything.
…
The flames burned the house in front of him into a huge torch in a short time, and the entire Winterset Castle was illuminated, making Ger's face turn red.
The surrounding residents all ran out, but under the organization of the knights and soldiers who had been prepared, they consciously stayed away from the house that was engulfed in flames, and set up fire zones to prevent scattered sparks from spreading to other residential houses.
Fortunately, it had just rained. Although it stopped, the houses on the ground were very wet. The house where Lovren and the others lived was also the most high-end house in the residential area. It was far away from other houses, so the flames
Always restricted to the starting point, without expansion.
Geer stood with his sword in his hand, facing the flames. The talking and shouting of the residents felt far away from him, and his mind was empty.
The flames rose higher and higher, and what could be heard was the crisp sound of wood exploding under the scorching fire. The red moon in the sky seemed to be afraid of being licked by the rising flames, and hurriedly pulled up the black clouds to completely cover it up.
cover.
Isolde and Bacchus returned to Geer and shook their heads gently.
"You guys stay here, I'm going back first."
"Yes, sir."
Geer turned around and headed towards the core tower, the flames stretching his figure very long.
"Everything is over, everything is just the beginning."
