Chapter 51:50 Maruna's Request (Please Read)
That night,
Outside the city, in the Marquis family castle, in the study.
With a little magic power, the attached magic patterns glowed fluorescently, and the square music box emitted pleasant sounds. Then, he twisted the knob to adjust the volume to the appropriate level.
Baron Marquis began to flip through the thick documents on his desk amidst this melodious music.
It's very strange. He seems to have dyslexia. He has to read the documents aloud and keeps muttering to himself.
"The Wings of Light are here. Where's the bishop of the Church of the Seven? I'm curious, who could be coming?"
"If they could fight, it would definitely be exciting! They are not ordinary transcendents..."
"What a pity! This Wing of Light will probably never know who blew up this cathedral until his death. Hehehe..."
"Also, that guy Dorji, has he been unable to sleep these days?"
"The parade, the parade must be arranged as soon as possible. Also, the wealthy merchants and nobles, guide them to the Executive Office. I'm fed up with him!"
"Of course, I'll also arrange for some people to come to me. Do I have to make decisions for them?"
"Then there is that area that must be appeased. There are some things we can do, but we cannot admit them, let alone disclose them."
"By the way, there are still many people who have been kidnapped by pirates. Their families will be very worried. They are all the best targets for exploitation."
After muttering for a long time, it is not difficult to find that Baron Marquis is not talking to himself, but to someone he cannot see.
Or should it be a person, asking and answering questions with him!
Until he came across the information about Luo Yi, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"It's this Luo Yi who really surprised me. He actually has a transcendent being by his side, and his own strength is quite strong!"
"He's only eighteen years old this year. A second-level warrior is as weak as a chicken in his hands.
It's really interesting that old Raymond is willing to send out such a genius?"
"What a pity, he's a bastard! A bastard!"
"The question now is, should we find a way to kill him? Or not?"
"Let's wait and see, let's wait and see. I just hope he doesn't get what's good for him!"
The night was dark, the wind was cold, and the entire castle seemed to be plunged into shadows, dark and deep!
…
On the other side,
The Consul's Office, the office of the Consul.
Even though it was late at night, the place was still full of people, lined up in a queue, waiting to be received by the Archon Lord Dorji Petrovich.
From time to time, they could hear the roar of a lion in the office.
Coming from a military background, Lord Dorji Petrovich has always been a man of his word and has always acted decisively.
Even the subordinates he promoted were terrified by his determination and methods.
Of course, his background is so strong that it is said that he can directly reach the royal family.
As for the tragedy in Oakland, if it happened in other cities, the governor would be dismissed the next day.
But in his case, he still held power firmly in his hands, and the royal family just had to send a letter of reprimand and it was over.
Of course, the Habsburg Empire was headed by Hohenzollern III, but there were checks and balances, and the Council of Nobles was one of them.
The royal family's letter of reprimand was light and weightless, but the successive letters of accountability from the Council of Nobles made him feel like he was sitting on wax.
He always has to have some political achievements to show for himself in order to silence the gossips.
So, he hasn't been home these days. Various problems have been thrown in front of him, and after he gave the direction, he asked these people to solve them.
You have to admit that Dorji is actually a very capable person. Although Auckland is not a big city, its geographical location is still relatively important.
Not only does it have the convenience of a fisherman's port, but it also has several roads leading directly to foreign countries. But before he came, this was a small town where the Marquez family had the final say, and it was smelly and full of sewage.
But after he came, he introduced the magical industry, repaired the roads, and vigorously developed commerce, giving the city a brand new look.
However, his personality makes him difficult to get close to. After so many years, he still uses the military's approach to demand his subordinates, pursuing speed and efficiency, which has also been criticized.
It was not until the second half of the night, when most of the problems were solved and there was finally no one outside the door, that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a cup of black coffee was placed in front of him. The man's hands had thick fingers, prominent joints, and were full of strength.
Dorji was not surprised. He picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully.
The strong coffee refreshed his tired spirit. Only then did he speak quietly, "From what I know, you and your father have a very bad relationship. Is it really necessary to seek revenge for him like this?"
After hearing the question, a hoarse voice rang out: "Revenge? No, no, no, that's just a pretext. I hate Woolley Aaron. I hate that he gave birth to me but didn't raise me, and then raised me but didn't teach me.
I wish he were dead!"
"Perhaps, the only thing he did for me was to make me qualified to stand in front of you!"
Dorji asked again: "Then why are you so persistent?"
“The reason I persisted wasn’t revenge, but I needed you to see my worth.
I understand your style of doing things. Incompetent people are not worth your attention. So, I need you to look at me and give me a chance, and I will seize it. "
"Unfortunately, you failed the first time."
"That's not Zhan's fault. After all, who would have thought that behind an illegitimate child would be a third-level transcendent.
But I have new plans.”
"What are you going to do?"
"Everyone has something they want, and Luo Yi, doesn't he want to get involved in the magic machinery industry?
Now is the best opportunity!"
The man with the hoarse voice paused for a moment, then spoke again: "I will give him enough reasons, and I will also put him in a desperate situation.
However, that third-order transcendent is not someone I can face."
"Now that the Wings of Light have arrived, I will allow you to command the Hand of Death. I will be here, waiting for your good news."
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Go!"
"yes!"
The man with the hoarse voice left with steady steps, but as he stepped out of the room, Dorji's distant voice came again.
"This is the last time!"
"I understand. If I fail, I will die there."
He finally stepped out of the room, walked through the corridor, and when he came under the street light, the dim light illuminated his face.
He was a man in his thirties, looking a little weathered. He raised his head slightly, facing the cold wind, with his arms open, as if to embrace the night.
His face was 50% similar to Woolley Aaron's, and it was the missing Merry Aaron.
…
Roy is waiting, waiting for the day when the dawn will come for this messy city of Auckland.
He believed that day would not be too far away, because those bigwigs never had patience.
And what Luo Yi wants to know will surely become clear in this turmoil.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could wait for what he wanted, someone came to his door first.
19 Lombard Street, 2nd floor.
Luo Yi stood at the window and looked down, and saw a man wearing a black gentleman's suit, with messy hair and untidy beard, who had not been groomed for several days, standing there with a sad look on his face.
It was Maruna Marquez, the director of the Chansheli Magic Textile Factory and Roy's partner.
He asked, "What's going on?"
Butler Hoover said, "Maruna's house, the one you've been to, is in the west of the city!"
Luo Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Could it be that we were attacked by pirates?"
Butler Hoover nodded slightly and said, "His wife is dead. She was killed by pirates and was insulted before her death.
The two children were also kidnapped by pirates, but he escaped because he was not at home due to work at the factory."
"Now, the pirates have sent a ransom letter, demanding 500 gold tyres per person, otherwise they will kill you."
"So, he came to borrow money?"
"No, he can handle the money issue himself."
Hoover smiled bitterly: "The problem is, he wants to ask the young master and Mr. Oliveira for help."
"It's common for pirates to demand ransom when they rob, but there are also many cases where they kill the hostages after paying."
"Young Master, your fame has spread far and wide. On the Day of Divine Grace, the only victory that Auckland City could boast of was the pirates you left behind."
"Then, all this was known to Maruna. He wanted to see you and Mr. Oliveira, so he asked me for help and has been pestering me for several days.
I had no choice but to bring him here."
Luo Yi frowned slightly. He had attended the family dinner held by Maruna.
Maruna's wife has a bright and generous smile and treats people with warmth. She is a very gentle lady.
But now, he's dead just like that?!
He had also seen the two children, about eight or nine years old, a boy and a girl. Having both a son and a daughter was very enviable.
But unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by pirates. A child of that age would have a lower chance of survival in a pirate's lair than an adult.
However, Luo Yi was not sure whether to help or not.
"Master Luo Yi, do you think you will see me or not?"
Luo Yi glanced at Maruna outside the door again, and finally said, "Let's meet him now that we're here."
"Okay, I'll go get him up."
I like to make the supporting characters as stand out as possible, so that they are flesh and blood, with behavioral logic, and not just paper people!
