Chapter 561 (2/2)
”Red blood castle?” the black haired wizard frowned slightly. ”Is it the Turin family? No other count would accuse them of doing such a thing?”
”Turin family, who says it's Turin family?” the tavern owner looked at him in confusion:
”Of course, it's the order of governor Byrne's house - now the count of Turin is a little girl. How can the count master listen to them? At present, only the governor can command the whole Byrne and make the count master obedient.”
”Oh... So it is.”
The dark haired wizard had an expression of enlightenment, and a trace of imperceptible cold flashed across the corners of his eyes.
It seems that governor Bain's power has exceeded his expectations, and the threat to the Turin family is far more serious than Charlotte Turin said.
”This thing... It should have been more than a month ago at the earliest.” the tavern owner said slowly: ”a baron died in his house for no reason. The body smelled before it was found by the servants at home.”
”It's not a matter to say it's just a dead person - but the trouble is the baron. Their family is a famous lender in red blood castle. They also have two vineyards and a copper mine. It is said that they also have business relations with the governor's office!”
”Governor Byrne ordered a thorough investigation into this matter. I thought it was over, but who expected more and more results!”
Speaking of this, the tavern owner suddenly looked at the customers in the store, carefully lowered his head and whispered in a hoarse voice, ”and... I heard that when those people died, there was no blood left all over, and they were drained!”
”Drained?!”
”Yes, just because of this... The adults in the governor's office recognized that it was a vampire!” the owner of the tavern flashed a trace of fear in his eyes, but he comforted himself:
”But you don't have to be afraid. It's said that this vampire has a very picky mouth. He only looks for those rich and powerful nobles. He never does anything to civilians like us... Hey, by the way, your relatives should not be nobles?”
”No, our family is just a small family and doesn't do any business.” the black haired wizard looked a little nervous: ”pick the vampires who are powerful and aristocratic masters... Shouldn't have anything to do with them?”
”It's good to be safe. As long as we civilians live well, everything will be fine. We still let the noble lords toss about conspiracies, vampire monsters and so on!”
The tavern owner sighed and looked up at Lauren. ”How about another drink? Don't go tonight. We also have rooms.”
”Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really sorry.” Lauren, with a calm smile, put a small stack of silver coins on the table: ”it's getting late. I should start, too.”
”I have said so much, you still want to go?” the tavern owner sighed and refused to give up: ”our little Vivian really likes you... As long as you are really good to her, I don't mind going to eboden!”
While talking, a small head poked out of the back kitchen, and his big eyes blinked secretly at the black haired wizard.
”Sorry, but I'm going to try my luck.” Loren had to tilt his head and smile at the tavern owner. ”They are my only relatives - now that I know, of course I can't give up like this.”
”In addition... Although I failed to live up to your kindness, I'm still very young and have no plan to start a family for the time being. It's really a pity!”
”Young people, none of them will listen to advice!”
The frowning tavern owner sighed again, picked up the wine bottle on the counter and wiped it; Just a bow of his head. When he looked up again, there was no black haired wizard in front of the counter.
There was only a stack of silver coins, a glass of wine, and a plate with only a little broken gingerbread.
”That... Which of you saw him leave?”
The tavern owner was stunned and asked in surprise. The guests in the tavern also shook their heads and looked blank.
”The gentleman from eboden is really acute... Hey, he runs so fast and says he can't fight!”
