Auckland City,

The Consul's Office, the Consul's Office.

When Luo Yi walked in, his expression was still relaxed. He often came here. There was a lot of work to do at the Northern Railway Company, and he would come here every few days to discuss and solve various trivial matters.

Luo Yi didn't think much about Miller's call this time.

But when he saw Miller's serious expression, the smile on his face slowly faded.

"Is there something wrong with the railway construction?"

"no!"

"Is the Empire's policy changing again? Will it affect us?"

“This one, isn’t it either!”

"That's because they don't have enough money. That's impossible. I just looked at the financial report yesterday. The supply of raw materials is sufficient, the workers are overstaffed, and a group of backbone personnel have been trained. There should be no problem."

Luo Yi tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of what could go wrong, which made Miller's serious expression a little difficult to maintain.

So, he simply handed the document over and said, "Take a look for yourself!"

Luo Yi stared at Miller for a moment, then finally took the document, opened it, and after just one glance, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression froze.

His reaction was almost the same as Miller's. He looked up and said, "Miller, are you kidding me?"

"You think I would joke with you about something like this?"

“But look at what it says, the Raymond family was attacked by a mysterious force.

The family castle was destroyed by a meteorite, causing countless casualties.

Family members were assassinated one after another, including Earl Raymond, and all direct descendants died, their souls annihilated, and there is no way to recover them! "

"This kind of thing, this kind of thing..."

Luo Yi's voice suddenly stopped. He seemed to have thought of something. His pupils dilated rapidly. After a pause, he gritted his teeth and spat out four words: "Pity! Pity! The Devil! Woman!"

"You thought of that, too?"

Baron Miller spoke at the right time: "I just feel that the previous assassination did not seem to be the work of those ten noble families. The struggle between us has not really reached that level.

So, could this Witch of Mercy be sent by that mysterious force?"

"They assassinated you because, although you are an illegitimate child, you are the direct bloodline of Count Raymond!"

At this moment, Luo Yi thought of more.

Because, the use of the Abyss Nightmare's 'Dreammaking' talent also requires a casting medium.

Luo Yi checked himself and found that he had not lost any personal belongings. Given his regular schedule, he had never seen an old woman like this approaching him, so he should not have lost any skin tissue or anything like that.

At that time, he was wondering how this Witch of Mercy had locked onto him?

Now it seems that it is most likely through blood!

Taking Earl Raymond as the source, all direct descendants, whether they are legitimate sons recognized by the family or illegitimate children not recognized by the family, will be killed.

As this thought popped up in his mind, Luo Yi's expression became even uglier.

Even he was somewhat reluctant to face such a scene. He asked with some reluctance, "Miller, is it possible that your information is inaccurate?"

Miller smiled bitterly: "This was sent by the Imperial Military Intelligence Department. It is almost impossible to be false."

"The reason I gave me a copy is probably because I know our relationship and your identity."

“Besides, for a thousand-year-old earl, one of the most powerful nobles in the Norman Duchy, to have his inheritance cut off like that is absolutely a huge matter.

Therefore, the news cannot be concealed. If you ask around, you can find out whether it is true or not."

This sentence completely shattered Luo Yi's last hope. He found a chair and sat down, with his expression changing constantly.

To be honest, as an illegitimate child, he did not have much affection for the Raymond family.

Even with Count Karl Raymond himself, they had only met a handful of times, so if you want to say how sad Roy is now, that's not the case.

However, Luo Yi knew clearly that even though he was doing well now, had assets and power, he was still a man who had the final say in Auckland.

But the basis of all this comes from the recognition of the Raymond family.

The Raymond family is like a mountain behind him, standing there forever. Although silent, everyone who comes into contact with Roy is shrouded by that mountain.

Then, even if they have more ideas about the amount of money, they will carefully restrain themselves after weighing the pros and cons.

Roy never said that his achievements were not due to the protection of the Raymond family.

But this mountain has collapsed!

Even Luo Yi felt a little helpless at this moment. He sat there blankly, feeling a little confused.

So, Miller walked to Roy's side.

He put his hand on Luo Yi's shoulder. When Luo Yi looked up and their eyes met, he said seriously, "Luo Yi, you must remember, this is the Habsburg Empire, not the Norman Duchy!"

“Here, you also have the friendship of the Petrovic family, who are also my best friends.”

"So, believe me, no one can threaten you!"

Luo Yi only felt a warm current flowing through his heart. No matter what the reason for their cooperation, you cannot deny that now, they are really good friends.

"From now on, I'll have to count on you to protect me!"

…

Auckland City, outside the city,

Provence Manor.

At this moment, a group of guests also arrived here.

Hundreds of fully armed knights, riding horses with the blood of magical beasts, were silent and speechless, but a murderous intent filled the air.

Wherever they passed, the sound of their horses was like thunder, shocking everyone.

In the center of the knights' guard, a luxurious carriage, protected by the strong wind, nimbly crossed the bumpy road.

The coachman who drives this magic carriage needs to tighten the reins to avoid driving too fast.

Looking at the horses pulling the carts, they were all pure white horses without any other colors, and they had a single horn on their foreheads, showing their magical bloodline.

In the old continent where knights are prevalent, mounts have always played an indispensable role.

Even if those powerful knights cannot subdue the Warcraft and rebuild their mounts, the best choice is these horses with Warcraft bloodlines.

The price is absolutely exaggerated.

But here, there are dozens of mixed-blood war horses, and these pure-blooded Warcraft war horses are exclusive to the top nobles.

Only these top nobles have the resources, financial resources, and heritage to tame and breed this kind of magical warhorse.

Of course, the most brilliant thing is the fluttering flag.

When Butler Hoover came to greet him, he looked at the blue, white and yellow stripes. Although they were not fancy, they made him tremble all over.

He opened the gate of the manor without any hesitation.

Then, the knights escorted the carriage in and quickly took over the protection of the entire manor.

It was not until then that the carriage door was opened. A maid dressed in exquisite clothes jumped out of the carriage, brought a stool, and helped a woman down.

The woman looked to be no more than forty years old, with beautiful black hair, a dignified appearance, elegant manners, and a natural nobility about her.

However, the obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed that she was not young anymore.

Although her expression was relatively gentle, her eyes were extremely sharp and the majesty in them could not be ignored.

Even those powerful knights immediately lowered their heads when facing her and dared not look her in the eye.

However, the woman seemed to be preoccupied and did not hesitate too much, so she went straight into the study of the manor.

Here, she paced with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

Her smooth, white fingers brushed across every piece of furniture and every decoration, her eyes filled with an unforgettable longing.

But in the end, her expression became somewhat ferocious and terrifying, as if she was about to choose someone to devour.

Beep!

There was a slight knock on the door, and she immediately returned to normal. After adjusting herself slightly, she said, "Come in."

Crunch...

The door was pushed open, and Butler Hoover walked in respectfully, maintaining absolute elegance, yet very cautiously saying, "Greetings, Madam."

"Since you know me, you should know why I'm here."

Hoover hesitated slightly: "Madam, Master Luo Yi knows nothing. Are you really determined to drag him into the vortex?"

The woman said, “The Raymond family is gone, all direct bloodlines are extinct.

Now, Luo Yi is the only heir. Tell me, who will inherit this huge family business that has been passed down for thousands of years?"

"Besides, he is my son!"

“This, this, this…”

Butler Hoover's face changed drastically, his face full of disbelief, and he spoke incoherently:

"Well, you're just a housekeeper, just do your job well."

As the lady said this, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to the maid beside her.

The maid then handed the letter to Butler Hoover.

"Give this to him, and let him look over it, and then come back to see me."

Butler Hoover took the letter tremblingly, looked at the woman again, and finally turned and left without saying anything.

Even he twisted his ankle when he walked out of the room and down the stairs, and almost fell down.

After stabilizing himself, he stood on the stairs with a dazed look on his face. He stayed there for a long while, then tightly grasped the letter, stood up, and limped out.

No matter what, this letter must be handed to Luo Yi as soon as possible.

In any case, the arrival of this person has disrupted their peaceful life.

Hoover stepped forward, and he seemed to see a bloody storm.

Fate, what you like most is always to give you a heavy blow when you are least prepared!
