Chapter 99 (1/2)
When it comes to lying, the little wizard is still far less experienced than Loren - especially her expression, which almost puts the words ”I lied” on her face.
Fortunately, however, Loren, who stood up in time, helped her round the past, and Barry Senna didn't seem to be interested in it. Only when he knew that ayin was an alchemist, his expression changed slightly.
The old man didn't stop ayin and hat from staying in the castle for a few days. Instead, he was very enthusiastic to help arrange a vacant room next to Loren.
When I opened the door, although the room was small, it had a clean bed, a beautiful simplified spectrum, a candle lamp on the table, a window to see the scenery outside the castle, and new bedding and pillows.
The preparation is so meticulous that it's almost like arranging in advance. It's impossible. Is it a coincidence this time? Loren's mouth curled up with a sneer.
”Don't you wonder why I pretended to be Isaac.”
The little wizard didn't think as much as he did. She was silent all the way. After entering the house, she finally couldn't help saying, ”and she lied for me.”
”Of course I'm curious, but...” Lauren smiled at Ayn with relief. ”I believe you'll do it for your own reason. When you want to say it, you'll naturally tell me.”
Although he subconsciously thought it was the other party's words to fool himself, the little wizard was still very happy and said, ”you just want to say that I'm not good at lying, right?”
”How could honest and kind-hearted ayin lie?” Lauren, with his hands on his back, asked with a smile and raised his eyebrows confidently: ”this is my strength.”
”Talk big.” before forgiving him, Ayn snorted coldly, but Lauren held his head down.
”No matter what your purpose is, I just hope you can promise me one thing.” the dark haired wizard slowly lowered his voice, but increased his tone: ”when you are ready to do it, you must say it - I will do my best to achieve your wish!”
Ayn, who was silent in a low voice, just nodded gently, which was an answer to Loren. The delicate face showed a complex look, as if there was something hidden.
Loren suddenly remembered the leader of the RAND family he met when he and ruwen left the castle, and Ayn Rand was also from shenlinbao.
Could it be involved in this matter? Loren, who didn't like to speculate, just let the idea flash through his mind and turned away from the little wizard's room.
He has more important things to deal with - winter has come, that is to say, the tug of war with the nobles of Shenlin castle has entered the final stage, and it is time to solve them.
Whether they like it or not, this is the last chance and the most important battle for Reuven Fred. If he can't get rid of these diehards, he can't really establish prestige among the nobles in shenlinbao, and it's impossible to completely suppress the Seine family.
At that time, people will only say that it was the Seine family who took the initiative to help the count that made the nobles relax. This is definitely a great disadvantage to the count's reputation.
What's more, if the other party will do so, there must be another plot behind it. There is no free dinner in the world. Barry Senna will suddenly ”betray” the nobles in shenlinbao, only because it is more beneficial to him.
Moreover, there are more problems now... Standing at the end of the corridor, looking out of the window at the increasingly cold wind and the flying snow, a bad hunch is spreading in Loren's heart.
Now it's just a little cold. The land will be completely frozen in another month. The frozen ground can't even insert the pitchfork. It's impossible to start work in this weather.
The colder and colder weather will also greatly reduce farmers' enthusiasm for land. If the weather is cold enough to freeze to death, how many people will be willing to leave the warm fire pit at home for the land they can only get?
