Chapter 361 Accident (Please subscribe!)
Miriam felt confused.
I just followed the Duke in the department store to broaden my horizons, and then...it seemed that my unique talent was discovered by the Duke unintentionally?
But the problem is... no matter how hard Millie racked her brains, she couldn't figure out how not having to sleep every night could become her advantage? Millie Morris has always been troubled by this habit of hers.
She envied the normal routine that others had. In her opinion, being able to curl up in a warm bed and sleep soundly was a very happy thing.
In this era when night life was extremely monotonous and scarce, she could only stare at the twinkling stars outside the window in a daze, sitting there in boredom one tormenting night after another.
“Your Excellency the Duke, what you mean is…” Miriam’s eyes lit up.
In her opinion, the magic array research laboratory of the Principality of Idar is almost synonymous with omnipotence.
The magical street lights developed by the mages of the Idar School can make the night in the Principality of Idar as bright as day, allowing her, a real night owl, to walk freely on the streets at night.
It is precisely for this reason that she has an inexplicable liking for the legendary Idar magic array research laboratory.
"Perhaps the mages of the Idar School can gradually get your schedule back to normal, but... this is just a possibility." Bruno said rather conservatively.
In fact, before Arnel Blood came to a more complete conclusion, Bruno didn't know what different changes an ordinary person with strong mental power could bring to this land.
"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke!" Looking at Bruno's gradually walking away back, Millie expressed her sincere gratitude.
"But...if you go to the Idar Array Research Laboratory..."
Bruno stopped, paused, and then said seriously:
"You will swear allegiance to the Stuarts no matter what, right, Lady Morris?"
Until this moment, Bruno finally acknowledged Millian Morris's identity as a relative and extended an olive branch to her - Millian could allow the Morris family to continue to thrive on this land with the title of honorary nobility.
"Maurice...Countess?"
Bruno's words made Miriam unable to react for a moment.
but,
When she finally came to her senses, Miriam couldn't help but reveal a look of relief.
The attitude of the Principality of Idar towards the nobles is very clear, that is... no noble other than the Duke of Idar is allowed to own actual land.
Therefore, being able to retain the title of Earl Maurice was the best outcome Millian could imagine.
after all……
The policy implemented by the Norman Empire has always been a male-dominated inheritance system.
If Bruno deliberately ignored Miriam Morris's legitimate claim to the title of Count Maurice, there was nothing she could do.
And now, if my lost parents and relatives were still alive... I would probably make the same choice...
"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency Duke Idar!"
Miriam said very seriously: "The Morris family will be loyal to you!"
…
As soon as he stepped out of the side door of the department store specially opened for nobles and staff, Bruno's expression suddenly turned cold.
Krell, director of the Idar CIA, had been waiting outside the door for a long time, looking quite solemn.
"Your Excellency the Duke, I will go back first."
Just now when they were in the department store, Avril saw Agent Idar whispering with Bruno, and coupled with the situation outside the mall, it was obviously not something her cute little maid should know.
"Go ahead, follow Miriam."
Bruno nodded.
After that,
Bruno walked towards Claire and whispered, "What's going on at the naval port?"
"Workers building the Venice Arsenal found a body on the construction site this morning."
"But as for that corpse... Anyway, you still need to go and see it in person before you can make a final decision."
Claire said simply.
…
When Bruno arrived at the Idar Naval Port in the Merlin District, it was already late. The surging sea water washed over the reefs that were illuminated by the setting sun and turned orange. The crabs huddled in the crevices could only hold on tightly to the potholes on the reefs to avoid being swept away by the sea water.
The offshore portion of the Venetian Arsenal has been built.
The Idar people used soil, rocks and cement to build a solid base, which covers a very large area. At first glance, you can tell that it is the prototype of another architectural wonder.
Since the Venetian Arsenal was located in a naval port, the construction site where the remains were found had been cordoned off by Idar CIA agents.
As for the workers who discovered the corpses, they were already enjoying a sumptuous dinner in the barracks at the soldiers' invitation.
Claire was already on the way, telling Bruno what happened today, and Bruno had gradually formed some guesses of his own in his mind.
In the morning, construction workers found a skeleton on the edge of the beach.
In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of thing would not reach Bruno's ears.
After all... this is the current situation of this era. Except for the Idar Public Security Bureau who will check whether the body is an Idar citizen, most of the nobles in this world will ignore it.
But the problem now is that it is not a human skeleton, nor is it the skeleton of an ordinary marine creature.
Although only the skeleton was left, it emitted a faint dark light, which made the workers who were working at the time quickly realize that the skeleton in front of them was likely related to some kind of magical creature.
Long before Bruno arrived, a team of mages led by Anel and Idar agents began investigating the corpses in front of them.
therefore,
When Bruno arrived at the naval port, the first person he saw was the sad-looking Arnel Blood.
"Master Mentor!"
When Arnel saw Bruno again, he was quite excited as he hadn't seen Bruno for a month or two.
"Did you find anything?"
Bruno asked as he walked towards the Venice Arsenal with Arnel, Claire and others.
"The black light on the skeleton is probably related to the magical element, but it is not exactly the same..." Anel had no choice but to answer truthfully.
"Oh? What's going on?"
According to Bruno's original guess, this was probably some kind of unknown magical creature.
But……
Looking at Arnel's appearance, Bruno finally realized that this matter was far from as simple as he thought.
No more today, thanks to book friends "kkk's k" and "Deng Beifeng Wangchuan" for their rewards!
