Chapter 80: Master Dereit
"My lord," Bella and Brown also smiled bitterly at each other, looking at Leo's serious face. The current situation is quite serious. Looking at the troublesome events after the establishment of the Wind Patrol, I'm afraid they can also rank in the top three.
To put it a little bit, there were some problems in the queen's family. To put it more seriously, the incident accidentally fermented, and the queen betrayed the country.
hiss...
Thinking of this scene, I feel a little scared.
"There's still a problem," Leo frowned, looking at the file in his hand, and rubbing his temples slightly, he really didn't know how to start.
Wait...is this?
But then, Leo's eyes swept across the rows of news, ignoring a series of news such as "flood in Lal Village, grain production in Locke Town" and other news. Although these things are considered disasters, they are important to the family's great cause. For the big Klein family, it's not a big deal.
However, there is one line that stands out. The above said that a month ago, the Jewelry Association had a dispute with the Klein family. It was rumored that it was for a priceless jewelry. At that time, the old chairman of the Jewelry Association had reached a hundred The many-year-old jewelry master De Ruett personally visited the patriarch of the old Klein family.
A heavy black line was added under this message. After all, a special mark was made. Obviously, Bella also found the problem when sorting it out.
"Is there any more information about this news?" Leo pointed to this news and asked Bella and Brown, who also frowned and shook their heads.
"My lord, after all, this is a matter between the Jewelry Association and the Klein family. Both parties are important figures with identities, so naturally there won't be too much information leaked out.
But after that incident, the financial resources of the Klein family obviously showed a tendency to be extremely nervous. Brown said in a low voice, "Could it be that this is the reason for the problems in the Klein family? "
"Wait..." At this time, Bella seemed to suddenly have a flash of light in her mind, with a look of surprise on her face, "I think who he is."
Ok?
Leo and Brown looked at Bella with a puzzled look.
"That person, the old man blocking the road that day, I seem to have some impressions," Bella said with a slightly excited expression, "Budden Klein, the former Marquis of Klein.
He once made great achievements in the war with the empire, and was rewarded by His Majesty Alfred II with half a marquis, which was connected with the original marquis, and eventually became the size of the current Klein family.
However, it seems to be involved in some extremely secretive matters. After Budden Klein returned to the capital, he disappeared. In terms of seniority, he should be regarded as the grandfather of the contemporary Marquis of Klein. "
Ok?
Bella's own complexion was a little weird, as if she realized something, and explained again, "The old Marquis Klein was rumored to have obtained the treasure of the Noldor Spirit, and his life span is long. Some people say that this is also the reason why he was refrigerated. And the old Marquis of Klein, that is, Budden, was once a powerhouse of at least the twelfth rank and above, and there were even rumors that he was a lion knight.
However, for some reason, his information was incomplete. I also came across his top-secret information on a mission, and then I thought of him. It was an extremely ancient record, but the portrait was the same as the day I saw him. The difference is not that big. Now that we are discussing the Klein family, it suddenly occurred to me. "
Leo and Brown looked at each other a little bit in dismay. Come on, as expected of Bella, they really found the identity of the old man, but this also made them get closer to the truth.
For the title of noble title, such as the Marquis of Budden, he could also become the Marquis of Klein. When he was the patriarch of this surname and had a high prestige, he was mostly called the Marquis of Klein.
It's just that the Marquis of Klein at this time is no longer Budden Klein, but his grandson, so it's a bit inappropriate to call him Marquis Klein.
For example, Leo, at this time he is the patriarch of the Archimonde family, it is okay to call him Earl of Archimonde, but because he is young, it seems a bit old-fashioned to call him that, so everyone generally calls him, also Called Count Leo.
Of course, if a person's reputation is too strong, his prestige is too high, and he even overwhelms his family too much, this is also the case. When people are called because of their strength, they will pay more attention to the individual.
At this time, Marquis Budden, although not like that, but because Marquis Klein already has someone, although it is a little inappropriate to call Marquis Budden, it can only be so.
"Frozen..." Leo sighed softly, the water became more and more muddy, he was a hero from the time of Alfred II, who was refrigerated for inexplicable reasons, but appeared in front of him not long ago, When he thought of the complexity behind this, he had a bit of a headache.
Indeed, Bella is talking about a possibility. After all, a powerful man with high prestige has obtained the secret of longevity and may live for a very long time. This naturally caused the king at that time to be afraid, and it is reasonable to be refrigerated. ,But……
That time period? Inexplicable shadows passed through Leo's heart. If the Klein family colluded with the Snake Cult, maybe it wasn't entirely because of money? Perhaps historical grievances are also possible?
But these are not important now, Leo thought for a while, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a slight hesitation, he said, "Where does the Master Derret live? I will visit some in person later, and see if I can gain something."
"Movent Road, I'll go with you," Brown said after glancing at the record on the side.
"Well," Leo nodded, thinking constantly in his mind, if the inexplicable dispute in the Jewelry Association was the reason for the sudden tension of the Klein family's capital chain, then where did this dispute come from?
It's impossible to happen for no reason, right? Klein is a big family, and it is impossible for him to suddenly consume impulsive and spend a lot of money, unless the Jewelry Association blackmails him? No...just kidding.
Leo was also somewhat laughed at by his own brain circuit. Maybe the Klein family really bought a priceless treasure? But could it have a special meaning? Otherwise, even if it is an ancestral treasure, it will not be bought at the risk of the entire family being dragged down, right?
It's really weird.
"My lord, Master Nadrit, his temper is not very good. You also need to be mentally prepared. He is the nephew of Prince Ravi. He has been addicted to jewelry since childhood and has a very high status in the art world." Brown low Sheng was preparing for Leo before the meeting. The information was very detailed, and a large wind patrol was still very effective.
However, this news also made Leo stunned for a moment. Well, it really deserves to be the capital of the Lion Realm. Any one person may be amazing. Prince Ravi is the uncle of King Ulric, although he does not control it. Powerful, but very noble.
But after thinking about it, it's a matter of course. After all, if you didn't come from a very high background, how could you be able to come into contact with and specialize in jewelry? The family background is naturally not too simple.
A large number of wind patrollers and a few lion squires still attracted a lot of attention along the way, and many people in the capital also looked at these people who dared to ride their horses in the capital with a little awe. People, ordinary nobles don't have such courage.
Finally, the sound of hooves gradually calmed down. At this time, Leo had come to Mowente Road. This is an extremely luxurious street in the Xicheng District of the capital. Both sides of the road are very delicately repaired, and there are scattered walks in the street. A few luxurious mansions, but they are different from the Cartel Road where Leo was before or the mansions of other nobles.
The mansion here is a little less powerful, but it is a little more delicate. The surrounding walls are all painted with embossed paintings, and the courtyard walls of each mansion seem to be works of art. Many well-known literary and artistic people like to buy a big house here, drink and make friends on weekdays, and they are extremely happy.
Of course, identity is the premise, similar to Leo's previous life, "There are great scholars in chatting and laughing, and there is no white person in communication." As for the first-class wandering poets, they can only sing in the tavern obediently. This is not a place they can expect.
Of course, with the sound of horse hooves tearing apart the original calm, many literary masters, or first-class masters of painting and stone carving, also stopped their work one after another, with a worried look on their faces.
Don't look at the people here who have never held a big official position, but they are highly respected. Even ordinary nobles will treat each other with courtesy. This Movent Road has never had such a commotion for a long time. What? People are so rude?
Some great painters put down their pens, opened the curtains and looked out, good guys, a large group of wind watchers, and lion squires, but they were...
After seeing the opponent's goal, the great painter shook his head slightly. It turned out that he was looking for Jewelry Master Dereit. Well, this matter is not something that he can mix up At this time, the morality Reiter was inexplicably irritable. He was thinking about that ingenious idea. He only needed to embed a sapphire that fits a third of the green crystal into his masterpiece. This whole work seems to be able to take it to the next level. The sound of hooves outside the door made him extremely unhappy.
Whoever has no eyesight, is riding a horse on the streets of this art palace. It's really time to let the city guards take care of it. It's best that no one on Movent Road can ride a horse.
Of course, this is just a thought. After Dereit fiercely scolded the man who rode the horse in Movent Road, after the sound of the hooves stopped, he also fell into contemplation again, but he didn't expect...
bang bang bang...
Knocking on the door was so rude, he was really a barbarian. Dereit took a deep breath and suppressed his inner anger, but he seemed to hear the voice of his housekeeper. Could it be that they came to find him?
These savages, what have you to talk to them about?
Derita frowned. All the original ideas in her mind were dissipated, and she was naturally extremely unhappy in her heart.
The report that the steward came over later was indeed a visit to the door to ask for a meeting, but he didn't expect that it would be Leo Archimonde, the well-known new patrolman in the capital?
What is this guy looking for him for? For a while, De Ruett frowned slightly. In Leo's former world, there was a saying called "a scholar meets a soldier," which is probably the case.
After all, as a violent institution, the Wind Patrol still makes De Ruet somewhat instinctively disgusted and fearful. If it was someone else, even a great noble, he would not have such a feeling of fear.
Of course, you should still be able to see it, otherwise it would be even more inappropriate to keep the other party out.
