Chapter 327: The Storm

Ethan returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a gloomy face.

After shutting himself in the study, Ethan angrily pushed everything on the desk to the ground, and then took a few breaths. Clenching his fist and hammering it on the table, his knuckles were red and painful, and Ethan's anger was mostly vented.

Matto stood hesitantly at the door, looked at the old housekeeper, and then heard Ethan calling him in. Mato pushed open the door, looked at the messy ground, and remained silent.

"Mr. Mato, why didn't you do it just now. You are the city defense team and the official guards of the empire. People like Alan dare not touch you unless they want to become wanted criminals!" Ethan slapped the table hard and said, "Don't you Don’t you see their arrogant faces? I’m the lord of the city, I’m Baron Ethan. I just want {pig} Pig Island {small} to say 3. I want them to announce the technology of their weapons, and they don’t give them a secret weapon I have been very generous with the charge!"

"Of course, you are not only generous, but also kind." Mato organized his words before saying, "Everyone is unwilling to do anything, because they were the ones who defeated the demon last night after all. My lord, we lost a lot of brothers last night. If Without Alan and the others, this loss might have more than doubled. Everyone is thinking about their helping hand last night, not being afraid of them."

Hearing what Mato said, Ethan felt relieved. He shook his head and said, "No, I can't let these foreigners do whatever they want. Otherwise, I, the city lord, will be threatened by them."

"What are your plans, my lord?"

Ethan narrowed his eyes, and said: "I want you to find someone to send a letter to Sir Maud in Storm City. Just say, uncle's death is related to them. But I can't execute them alone. Let Sir Maud give us some help."

Mato was taken aback, and said, "My lord, that will hurt the young lady."

Nilu is already Edward's legal wife. Once Edward is revealed to be the murderer who participated in the killing of the Baron of York, Nilu might be dragged into the water. Ethan smiled and said, "It's okay. Before that, I will arrange for her to divorce Edward. Their union is just a game."

"That's it, Matto, can I trust you?"

Looking at Ethan's slightly crazy eyes, Mato lowered his head: "I swore to the death to defend the city of Sur, and I will do whatever is beneficial to the city of Sur!"

"Very well, go and feature a suitable candidate."

"Yes, my lord."

Mato left the Santo's Mansion with solemn eyes.

Ethan didn't notice that just now he only said to defend the city of Sur, but he only mentioned Ethan's name at the end. Mato seemed to have made up his mind, and called a soldier and said, "Go and tell Mr. Edward that I want to meet him at the bar tonight."

The soldier nodded and left. Mato glanced at the city lord's mansion from a distance, sighed, and then left.

After sending Edward away, Allen returned to the living room, and the iron box was still in its original position. He opened the box, and Bai was sleeping deeply inside. The heart entered its stomach early, and Bai's body was obviously a few points larger than before. There are strands of crimson luster flowing between the original snow-white scales, and some scales are even falling off. After eating that heart, Bai Mingming began to evolve, but Alan didn't know how long this evolution would take.

Tomorrow he was going back to the Aspen Mountains with Caesar, so naturally he couldn't take Bai with him. Allen thought about it, and asked the soldiers to move the iron box to the basement, and let them arrange it by themselves, and there must be one or two guards at all times. Allen is looking forward to what kind of changes that heart can bring to Bai.

After dinner, Edward came to the bar. He had used many methods to confuse the public before, and even if someone followed him, he would have thrown him away long ago. On the way back in the morning, he met a soldier who conveyed Mato's message. Edward was very curious about what the officer of the city defense team wanted from him.

In a dark corner of the bar, Edward met Matto. He was drinking dull wine, with a bitter expression and a lot of thoughts. Edward cleared his throat and said, "It seems that Mr. Matto is quite troubled."

Looking up and seeing Edward, Matto smiled wryly, asked him to sit down and said, "It's not small, this trouble is related to you."

"Oh?" Edward's heart moved, guessing that it must be Ethan's side. He was not in a hurry to know the answer, so he just drank with Mato. After drinking four or five cups, Matto was already smelling of alcohol. He sighed and said, "I thought Lord Ethan would bring a new scene to the city of Sur after he took office. But in the morning , in his study. When Lord Ethan ordered me to do something, I mistakenly thought I saw Lord York again."

"It turns out that there is no difference between the two of them."

Edward said lightly: "It seems that we are going to be in trouble."

"Yes." Matto gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind. He said: "Mr. Edward, please inform Mr. Allen that Mr. Ethan wants to harm you. Run away, it's really chilling to think about it. You have done so much for the city of Sur, and you didn't even know it last night How many lives have been saved. But Lord Ethan intends to attack you for his own power."

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Such a lord, how can the people below be willing to follow him."

Edward suddenly said: "Then how about changing to a lord?"

Matto was so startled that he almost jumped up. Informing Edward that their escape was already the limit Matto could bear, he was dissatisfied with Ethan, but never thought of harming him. After all, for the murder of a baron, according to the imperial constitution, not only the murderer should be sentenced to death, but also the family members should be sentenced to death. Mato's eyes widened, and he finally said, "I didn't hear anything just now."

Let's go.

Edward held him back and said, "Mr. Matto, you might as well listen to me a few more words. After tonight, we all just think we've drunk too much, and neither of us remembers what we said to each other. How about it?"

Matto finally stayed.

Edward looked at him and said: "You have also seen that Lord Ethan, the city lord, has not yet secured his position, so he is eager to murder those of us who have contributed to the city of Sur. Because of what, it is nothing more than seeing that our strength is behind him. Come on. How can a lord like him, who has no room for people, make everyone in Sur City live a good life? Believe me, he will soon embark on the same path as the Baron of York."

"Look at our young master again. I won't say much about how much wealth the Crosis loom can bring to the city of Sur. What I just want to say is that according to our plan, we will bring What came here is definitely not just a loom. After that, we are planning to build factories. Metallurgy, military factories, refineries... We have a great plan, Mr. Mato. We want the city of Sur to become the border of the empire The shining pearl, but all of this will be buried because of Master Ethan." Edward's voice was full of tension, and he continued: "A gentleman like you who loves his homeland, has a conscience, and is grateful, would like to see The completely new city of Sur. Is it still in dilapidated condition just because of one Lord Ethan, and will it even get worse in the future?"

"Oh, of course. Maybe the City Lord's Mansion will be built bigger and bigger in the future, and built higher and higher."

Matto's Adam's apple slid vigorously, and he smiled wryly: "When Baron York first took office, the City Lord's Mansion was not much bigger than my small building. Hey, how can it be as large as it is now."

"But how do I know, how do you ensure that this happens?"

"We can't guarantee it. It's up to you whether you can trust us." Edward said lightly: "The only thing I want to remind you is that if we don't have a long-term development plan in Sur City, why bother to help last night. You know, we lost An experienced fighter and a set of expensive equipment that cannot be recovered. This loss is definitely more than a textile loom!"

Mato narrowed his eyes slightly.

Edward smiled again: "We don't need Mr. Matto to do anything. We just hope that Mr. Matto's city guards will not interfere with us. Whatever Master Ethan asks you to do, you still do, and leave the rest to me. Of course , if Mr. Matto would let me know in advance, it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Mato nodded, patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "I hope to see the picture you described in the future, otherwise, I will take revenge at all costs."

"Of course, if we can't do it, Mr. Matto can put the sword into my chest at any time." Edward said gracefully.

"I will pick someone for Lord Ethan, and he will send your letter to Storm City. Your Excellency hopes to use the power of Baron Maud to suppress you. It is estimated that the letter will be sent out within a day or two." After leaving these words, Matola raised his collar to cover most of his face, and quietly left the bar.

Edward was still sitting in his seat. He took a sip of the low-quality ale in the bar, but felt that it was comparable to high-quality wine.

A storm was brewing in the city of Suer, and on the earth far away, which was unknown how many light-years away, on Babylon, which was still revolving according to its own trajectory, the atmosphere was also tense.

After Allen's Dawn lost contact, Bethkind issued several statements in less than ten hours. One of them is still severe. The statement pointed out that because of Allen's attainments in the Rubik's Cube sequence, he has been exceptionally included in the nomination list of the family elders. Under such circumstances, as one of the important members of the future family, Allen was attacked mysteriously, and Bethkind will investigate this to the end.

Bethkind made it clear that no matter who the attacker is, even if it is the three giants, Bethkind will not hesitate to fight. Because the other party's behavior was an unreserved trampling on the dignity of this family. If even the family members cannot be protected, what face does Bethkind have to stand on Babylon.

The statement, although not clearly directed at anyone, caused an uproar in Babylon. Those who are familiar with this family know that Horn has not made such a big move in the past ten years.

It is conceivable that the veteran powerhouse who once led the family team to expedition to the underworld star has been really angry.
