Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 764 95. Seems to be in love with the same man.JPG-【515】

(addition for Brother Qingyu)

"There are many rules on my boat, and you have to learn a lot. You must restrain your evil nature there, and don't provoke other people."

When leaving the pope's chapel, Bo Laike said to Abby Lewis, a little witch ghost with a small bag on her back and an excited face:

"I will arrange someone to teach you, but the first thing you have to learn is, don't cause trouble for me, or I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

"Okay, okay, okay, you are the boss, I will listen to you."

Eager to get out of the uncomfortable holy light environment, Abby readily agreed, but looking at the little witch's googly eyes, it was clear that she definitely did not intend to follow Laike's orders.

This guy can't be said to be evil in nature, but what she has done in the past few years is really not kind. Even saying she is cunning is not enough to describe her character.

"Are you a pirate ship? Why do you want me to cover up my evil nature?"

Using her special "ghost walk", Abby floated around Bo Laike and bounced around like a child playing hopscotch. She looked up and asked:

"Shouldn't the people on your boat be as vicious as possible? Or are you a bunch of good babies on your boat, and you're afraid that I'll scare them?"

"You? Scared them?"

Bu Laike shook his head when he heard this, and said in a long voice:

"No, no, I told you to restrain yourself not to protect them, but to protect you.

Are you still trying to scare people with your little experience of bullying ordinary people? The truth is too young and too simple. When you go to the ship, you are the target of oppression, and you may become the "new toy" of those most evil souls.

I let you restrain yourself to protect you. "

Having said that, the pirate slapped Abby on the head with a sluggish face maliciously, and said:

"Welcome to the bottom of the Naglfar food chain, my sad little witch."

"Hmph, I don't believe it!"

Abby reacted immediately, folded her arms and pouted, muttering:

"I don't believe there are more evil souls than me at my age! You must be lying!"

"Very well, I like this kind of child who is not afraid of anything."

Bu Laike nodded seriously and said:

"Maintain your provocative posture, remember to raise your head proudly even when you are beaten and cry, this is the demeanor that Kul Tirans should have.

I am optimistic about you.

Maybe after working hard for a hundred or two hundred years, you might be able to squeeze into the top ten list of evil people on the ghost ship. "

After speaking, he turned around, waved goodbye to the Pope, and put his hand on Abby's shoulder.

In the next moment, amidst the little witch's exclamation, the shadow connection spread, and under the cover of the shadow curtain, two people, one large and one small, disappeared in the church corridor of Vic Reiss Manor.

But Laike didn't leave immediately.

He also tiptoed to Mrs. Meredith's room. He and Abby hid outside Meredith's room. He listened with his ears first to make sure there was no strange sound coming from the room, and then opened the window and jumped. went in.

No way, Mrs. Meredith is now the wife of Arthur Vick Reiss, and the young couple don't have to have their secret trysts like they used to.

Although it is broad daylight now, who knows if people are having fun?

It's better to be cautious.

This is actually an act of slander by bad-hearted stinky pirates.

In the three days after the wedding, Meredith was very busy, which would pile up all kinds of ledgers on the desk in her room.

Some have a layer of dust on them.

But Madam didn't care, she just sat dignifiedly on a high-backed chair, flipping through the ledger, and banging with a slightly bulky hole-punch calculator made by dwarf engineering.

"Hey, the mistress of Vic Reiss is checking the accounts, she is really strict and smart."

Laike was leaning against the dressing table in the other part of the room, holding a bright red apple that he picked up from the kitchen just now, he put it in his mouth and took a bite.

He said something in a joking tone, which disturbed Meredith's calculations, but the madam, who was surprisingly good-looking these days, was not angry, but just picked up a pen and scratched in her notebook.

She stretched her waist very feminine again, stretched her body, picked up the cherry wine next to her, and said to Bo Laike:

"Only by controlling the financial power can such a large family be better managed. This is what you taught me on the ship, Your Excellency Captain. Besides, the financial situation of the Vic Reiss family is indeed very bad.

Much worse than I expected. "

She rubbed her forehead helplessly and said:

"Before I got married, I just took over a part of it, which already made me feel very difficult to deal with. Now that I see the income and expenditure records of the past 20 years, I am even more suicidal.

I love my Arthur very much.

But if their family has been maintaining this kind of income and expenses, then I think I may find a way to leave them before they go bankrupt. "

"Well, I did grow up hearing that the Vic Reiss family had financial problems, and it's said to have started in my father's father's generation.

But is the situation really as bad as you say? "

Bu Laike raised his eyebrows and asked.

Meredith took a sip of the kirsch, probably feeling that the taste of the wine was not enough, so she stood up, swayed her waist, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of golden rum, and took out two glasses.

She poured two glasses of wine for herself and the captain as a hostess, and after the two clinked glasses in style, the newly promoted countess said:

"I've just read a third of the pile of books, but it's not too bad to describe. In the past few decades, the Vic Reiss family has been in a cycle of 'near bankruptcy' and 'real bankruptcy'.

When the harvests of various crops in the Drustvar Mountains were not good, they even needed to borrow money from the Ashvane family to survive the difficult days.

It stands to reason that with the power of the Vic Reiss family in Drustvar, the situation would not be so bad, but in addition to the poor local production, my Arthur and his family's 'bold' style have also seriously exacerbated the financial crisis.

They have inherited Colonel Arom's warrior style in their bones, and they are very insensitive to things like money. This has caused many small lords who are loyal to the family to steal and cheat in terms of taxes.

But this can be solved with a little trick. After the Albatross Chamber of Commerce was formally introduced into the Vic Reiss family's completely blank business system, it was not a big problem to ensure the balance of payments in the first year.

In the second year, you can start to make profits by operating Beihai.

However, when I checked the ledger, I found some oddities. "

Frowning, Meredith shared her newly discovered secret with Laike, saying:

"Everyone in Kul Tiras knows that the Vic Reiss family is not keen on politics. Apart from maintaining friendship with the Proudmoore family, we have never had a deep relationship with the other two families.

But in the past ten years, the Ashvane family has been trying to penetrate the Drustvar Mountains with financial support.

According to the income and expenditure calculations in those ledgers, at the three nodes of sixteen years ago, ten years ago, and seven years ago, the Ashvane family paid the Vic Reiss family three times in aid of more than half a million gold coins. Bankruptcy crisis, but also all interest-free loans.

That money has not been repaid up to now.

This is completely different from their style of chasing high profits in business.

Under the circumstances that the two sides are not political allies, the Ashvane family's generosity really makes people feel that there must be some conspiracy or something.

Although I'm not very good at this, I also have concerns, which means that the Vic Reiss family owes the Ashvanes a lot of favor."

"The debt of favor has always been difficult to repay."

Bo Laike shook the rum in the glass, he said softly:

"There is one more thing I need to tell you. Those local assassins you hired, the one named Knife Roland, discovered an assassination operation against you not long ago."

"I?"

Meredith's eyes widened, and she said:

"Assassinate me? Why? I'm just an idiot. What do you mean, the mastermind behind that operation is the Ashvane family?"

"clever."

The pirate snapped his fingers and said:

"They're not just plotting, they've launched real action.

On that happy day at the wedding scene, in a corner you don't know, the bare hands will have a fierce contest with at least five groups of assassins who are targeting you.

They suffered heavy losses, but finally washed away their shame.

The arrangement of the Witch Association in Klein City must be supported by forces behind it, and according to the testimonies of those witches who were burned to death, they are also targeting you.

Alas, you, a cutie who doesn't know anything, are so lucky to be alive today.

The Ashvane family undoubtedly wanted to reach a closer relationship with the Vic Reiss family. In order to complete the alliance between the two families, they were even willing to take the risk of completely offending the Vic Reiss family.

This has gone beyond the extent of stabilizing the status of the big family.

In my opinion, they must take such a risk to grab the greater good.

Considering that most of the commercial activities in Stormsong Valley have been monopolized by the Ashvane family, it is basically certain that there is already a political alliance between the Ashvane family and the Stormsong family.

I'm basically sure that the family that started out as a business is seeking something they shouldn't have. "

Mrs. Meredith shuddered at the pirate's cryptic guesswork.

She looked around and whispered:

"They...they want to launch a rebellion against His Majesty Dai Lin? To seize Wang Quan?"

"Not necessarily. If they were smart, they wouldn't take risks with Dai Lin's popularity now."

Bu Laike was silent for a few seconds, took a sip of wine, and replied:

"But the Ashfans are sure that Wang Quan has ambitions, that family has always produced such ambitious people.

If there is no family inheritance of this kind of 'fighting', it is impossible for them to rapidly develop into the fourth largest noble in Kul Tiras without a solid foundation.

But speaking of it, the political system of Kul Tiras is not a monarchy in the true sense. The four major families were united by an alliance hundreds of years ago, and the king should have been elected.

It’s just that the Proudmoore family has produced heroes for three consecutive generations. My great-grandfather conquered the South China Sea and established the current order in the South China Sea. My grandfather defeated the North Sea pirates and connected the sea power of Kul Tiras with the eastern continent.

Not to mention my father.

The fleet of Kul Tiras was used by him as the sword of slaying. With his own power, he expanded the majesty of Kul Tiras to more than half of the world in more than 20 years.

The three outstanding Proudmoore His Majesty used their achievements to firmly control the inheritance of the throne, and the other three were unable to resist.

But rules are rules.

The other three are also theoretically eligible to become kings.

Faced with such a 'strong claim', who would not be tempted except the Vic Reiss family, who is in a corner? "

Having said that, the stinky pirate concluded in a very unhappy way:

"There is both darkness and political conspiracy. If the darkness in the Drustvar region is not temporarily suppressed, three of the four major families in the country will have problems.

Dai Lin is ashamed to say that she is an excellent king. Can such internal troubles be called Wang Quan's stability? "

"But you also said that His Majesty Dai Lin's reputation is in the sky, and the entire fleet is loyal to him. He can rely on this reputation to suppress all bad signs."

Mrs. Meredith said anxiously:

"There shouldn't be any problems in a short time, right?"

"Yes, he definitely wouldn't when he was alive. His charisma and strength are enough to scare those peeping guys."

Bu Laike said quietly:

"But what if he is gone? What if he dies suddenly in a certain battle? All accumulated problems will explode immediately, and the entire Kul Tiras will fall apart in an instant.

As long as Dai Lin dies without a qualified heir, Kul Tiras, which appears to be powerful on the surface, will immediately decline, and eventually become a second-rate country among the seven human kingdoms.

Sure enough, this is the biggest drawback of strongman politics. "

"Ah, then there is no need to worry about this problem."

Meredith breathed a sigh of relief, and she raised her glass, half complimenting, half sincerely saying:

"Isn't there still you here? With your wisdom and strength, Kul Tiras will continue to prosper."

"That's true."

The smelly pirate shamelessly accepted this compliment.

The two laughed and clinked glasses again, but at this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Arthur Vick Reiss, holding a sharp sword, rushed in with a face full of anger. Seeing his new wife and a strange man getting so close and drinking wine together, the newly married young man instantly felt that he was wearing a scarf on his head. A heavy hat.

Well, love is a ray of light, so green that he panics.

"I knew it!"

Arthur seems to have drunk some wine, and he is not sober. He held the sword and said with a painful face:

"I knew you had a secret. You disappeared mysteriously at the Alom Tower that night. I wanted to find it but I was afraid to face the terrible truth.

It's fine for you to be outside, but you actually brought him home!

Meredith, I love you so much, but why are you treating me?"

Facing the scene of catching rape, Mrs. Meredith and Bo Laike were not too panic-stricken, because the former made up her mind to bring the Vic Reiss family to Bo Laike and serve His Royal Highness.

And cloth Laike

He was a master assassin, Arthur's footsteps were so heavy, and he hid outside the door to eavesdrop on the conversation and breathed so heavily, how could he not notice?

"You listen to me, Arthur."

Mrs. Meredith tousled her hair helplessly, and was about to introduce Bo Laike's identity when Arthur yelled:

"No, I won't listen! Is our past all fake? Those sweet words, those vows, those beautiful things."

"Then you should listen to me, my brother."

Laike put down his wine glass, removed the deceitful orb camouflage from his body, took off the blindfold on his face, and parted his golden hair.

The moment he raised his head, the slightly drunk Arthur Vick Reiss' eyes widened for a moment.

The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he took a few steps forward trembling, and finally, amidst Braike's smile, the guy let out a howl, and rushed over to hug the pirate tightly.

"I thought you were really dead

God, by the light, I never thought that we would meet again one day. I have made an oath to avenge you by beheading every green skin in the world with His Majesty Dai Lin. "

"It's tiring to kill so many orcs."

Bu Laike patted Arthur on the shoulder and said:

"But it's okay, you don't need to be so tired now, my brother."
