Chapter 380: Count Osklo's oppression
There is a gold and stone trade road between the Golden Plains and the Stone Territory, connecting the two warm enclaves, and caravans occasionally travel between them during the ice age.
At this moment, a caravan is driving fast on the Gold and Stone Trade Road.
Three two-legged dragons are circling above the caravan. Osklo Shuiliu, the Earl of the Stone Territory, is riding on the back of the Nightmare Ghost Horse, frowning and looking ahead at the road, thinking about how he should dominate the situation after arriving at the Golden Summit.
"Davis, this show-off, died on the snowfield." Earl Osklo did not want Davis to die.
In any case, Davis is a supporter of his son Augustus.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining. Osklo thought to himself: "Well, it's just right for me to take this opportunity to help Dyson take over and firmly control the Golden Plains... Although Dyson is not a dragon knight, he has the title of baron, which is almost the same."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up and look at the three two-legged dragons circling above his head.
He was confident: "So what if I have a dragon knight? I have three dragons in my family! The competition among the nobles is who has more dragons!"
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Thinking of Roman and Russell: "A family with two dragon knights is also a great man, but so what, I have three dragons! Even if Luo Bi has the support of Roman and his son, it can't change the trend of Dyson's rise to power."
At the same time.
In the carriage, Osklo's wife Kunli Yingyan was talking to her daughter-in-law Dawen.
"When you arrive at Jinding Castle, you must not weaken your momentum. Although you are of humble origin, you are the daughter-in-law of my Shuiliu family after all. When Augustus ascends the throne as the Grand Duke, you will be the Grand Duchess, so you must show your momentum!"
"Yes, mother." Dawen replied softly.
When Kunli saw this humble and pleasing posture, she was not happy in her heart. It was too petty. It was obvious that she was from a small family.
But on second thought, if she was born in a rich family, even if she was born in the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family, she might not be able to control her at will.
There are gains and losses.
It can be seen that marrying a daughter of a minor noble as a daughter-in-law has its advantages. At least as a mother-in-law who is abused by her husband, she can control her daughter-in-law as she wants.
The anger of her husband's domestic violence can be vented on her daughter-in-law.
"Our goal this time is to help your brother Dyson take the position, so don't let the reputation of the Shuiliu family fall." Lady Kunli said, "You and I will work together to suppress Luo Bi, and your father-in-law will arrange the rest."
Daiwen lowered her head: "Yes, mother, I will listen to you."
Kunli nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."
Two days later.
The convoy arrived at the border cave of the Golden Plains. There were knights there to greet them. A moment later, Lord Dyson, dressed in plain clothes, hurried over on horseback.
"My Lord Earl, Madam, Sister." Dyson bowed and saluted.
Earl Osklo immediately said, "What's the situation in the Golden Dome Castle? What did the clan say after your uncle's death?"
"Everyone in the clan is mourning for the uncle. For the time being... For the time being, there is no talk of an heir." Dyson replied.
"This matter should have been decided long ago." Osklo said without hesitation, "Lead the way, I will go to the Golden Dome Castle to meet Mrs. Robbie, many elders in your clan, and several lords and subordinates of Davis to facilitate your succession."
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for making the decision for me." Dyson immediately responded gratefully and followed behind Osklo on horseback.
Then he reminded quietly: "My Lord Earl, Mrs. Luo Bi's nephew, Mr. Russell, has arrived."
"Russell?" Osklo narrowed his eyes, raised his head and looked at the three-headed flying dragon hovering in the sky, and responded calmly, "It's nothing for a junior."
Dyson breathed a sigh of relief: "That makes me feel relieved."
"During the funeral, take the opportunity to comfort the charcoal dragon. You don't have the opportunity to contact the charcoal dragon on weekdays. If you can get the recognition of the charcoal dragon, you, the future baron, can really stand beside Augustus and speak for him."
"Listen to the arrangement of the Lord Earl, I will find a chance to comfort Mr. Howard." Dyson said.
A moment later, the team arrived at the Golden Dome Castle.
The Golden Dome Castle has been hung with black cloth everywhere, and the servants and knights have all put on black clothes.
In the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, black represents death, and funerals are all dressed in black.
Davis has no bones, so he just burned some of his usual clothes and sprinkled the ashes into the tomb.
The Osklo family changed into black dresses in the Golden Dome Castle, and then, led by Dyson, rushed to Davis's cemetery. As soon as they arrived at the cemetery, they saw Mrs. Robbie crying in front of the tombstone, and the young man who was supporting Mrs. Robbie.
With a straight figure, wearing a black dress, and light golden hair tied casually behind his head, he had a strong aura.
The most eye-catching thing was the golden lightning mark on his forehead.
Osklo just glanced at the young man, and then took Mrs. Kunli to Mrs. Robbie, the hostess.
Osklo said solemnly: "My condolences."
Mrs. Kunli took Mrs. Robbie's hand and said lightly: "My condolences, Robbie, Davis' spirit in heaven must not want to see you in tears. For you and Diana, please take care of yourself."
"I know, I know." Robbie couldn't stop crying when she heard Davis' name.
"Aunt." The young man who supported her was Russell, who gently handed her a handkerchief, "Wipe your tears."
Aunt Luo Bi patted Russell's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Luckily you are here, Russell, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Russell comforted: "Don't worry, grandma, father, mother, and eldest brother are on their way."
Cousin Diana tightly grasped the corner of Aunt Luo Bi's clothes and looked at the name on the tombstone timidly.
Her father lay there.
But it was not her father. Her father stayed in the snow field forever. According to legend, his soul would sink into the rotten body of the snow ghost for generations.
Diana felt very scared, even though she rarely saw her father, and every time her father came home, he basically quarreled with her mother. The content of the quarrel was nothing more than which woman her father found again.
"Now, my father can't find a woman anymore." Diana suddenly thought, "Are there female snow ghosts among the snow ghosts?"
No one cared what an eleven-year-old girl was thinking.
Everyone mourned in front of the tombstone, repeatedly chanting "my condolences" and other repetitive words, and then returned to Jindingbao.
"Mrs. Robbie." Count Osklo said suddenly after drinking a cup of tea, "The dead are gone, and the living should look forward. Now that Davis has left, we are all very sad, but the Golden Field needs a new owner."
"Sir Osklo, let's talk about this after my husband's funeral." Mrs. Robbie said tiredly.
"Make a decision early, and the succession can be postponed." Osklo said calmly, "Otherwise, at Davis's funeral ceremony, there must be an heir to tour the territory for him to see him off? If there is no heir to see him off, how can Davis leave in peace!"
At the funeral of a noble, the heir usually tours the territory to comfort the people that the lord's departure is not the end, and he has an heir to inherit everything in the territory.
Mrs. Robbie responded, "Davis has a daughter."
"How can a daughter come to tour the territory as an heir?" Osklo said, "And Davis has already decided on an heir, that is his nephew Dyson. I think the Golden Mushroom family also hopes that Dyson will preside over the funeral?"
His aura was full of oppression, and he wanted to define Dyson's heir status right away, forcing Mrs. Robbie to admit it.
Seeing that his aunt was so angry.
Russell's eyes were stern and he stepped forward.
