Chapter 498 A letter from home (4k+)

On the third floor of a mansion in the port area of ​​Oia City, Sir Gregory was sitting at the table sorting letters by category.

On the walls of the room hung clocks, various weapons, and biological specimens; the layout and decoration were just like his study in New Nurent.

In fact, when he first arrived in Kurt, Prince Herama also suggested that he move into the Emir's Palace or the Flowing Water Courtyard where Liu Yonglu lived, but Gregory waved his hand and insisted on living outside.

He didn't like to trouble others. It was unsafe and inconvenient. Since he brought his trusted troops with him, he might as well rent a mansion and live comfortably.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

There was a muffled knock at the door, and Sir Gregory continued to fiddle with the letters on the table without even raising his eyelids.

"Sir Gregory, Captain Rich and Miss Milly Tang are here and are waiting for you in the living room."

After entering the room, the navy soldier bowed and spoke cautiously.

"Well, call them to the study."

The soldier turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped from behind:
"Take the mint tea off the table and bring me two bottles of the fine wine I brought from Mosesad."

"Yes, Sir Gregory."

After a while, there were sparse footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a familiar greeting.

"Old Sir, I missed you so much! Sorry, I was too busy these days and didn't come to visit you."

Gregory looked up and saw Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang, whom he had not seen for many days. Both of them were now wearing white cloth robes commonly worn by Kurts, with scarves tied around their necks and carrying things in their hands.

The expression on Ricky's face was the same as before, smiling and full of joy.

"Sit down, Ricky, have you eaten yet?"

"Nope."

Liu Yonglu was not polite either. He first pulled out a chair for Millie Tang, and then sat down on the soft stool opposite the desk.

"Come, have a drink. These are your letters."

Before discussing serious matters, Gregory handed a stack of letters to Liu Yonglu. Liu Yonglu read them while Gregory supplemented them.

"Everything is going well at the Tianying Restaurant. Business is booming. I occasionally reserve a seat to entertain old friends."

Liu Yonglu opened the letters and found the first one was very long and similar to what Sir Gregory had said. It went on and on about how popular the breakfast was with the citizens of New Nuremberg and how overwhelmed the staff were after Mr. Shani left. All of this was within Liu Yonglu's expectations.

The only thing is that at the end of the letter Baba mentioned that his third uncle unfortunately passed away last week.

I had met Baba's third uncle Liu Yonglu before. He was a short man with a bald head, small eyes and no eyebrows. He was a very easy-going person, probably in his thirties. He suddenly left.

Millie Tang had previously speculated that the short life of the Baba family was related to the water lizard. Of course, now it is the walking chicken. It seems that after Kurt's matter is settled, it is necessary to put the mystery of the walking chicken's origin on the agenda.

The second letter was more unexpected. It was from Nicholas. It said that he and Alva had returned to Mosessade. Archbishop Kosander had been praying for Alva by his window day and night, and had even heard the response from Alva's soul. The two of them had a simple confession.

Did the old bishop really have this ability? Or was he just saying it to comfort Nicholas?

Liu Yonglu didn't know either, but heart disease should be treated with the heart, so the general direction was definitely right. Liu Yonglu could also tell from the wording of the letter that Nicholas was in a much more relaxed mood.

"By the way, Prince Andrew also asked me to bring a message."

Gregory, who was sipping his liquor, glanced at the letter in Liu Yonglu's hand and added:
"He is very satisfied with the discovery of the Cursed Island. Considering that your Baldwin family has its own fiefdom, he will not give you any extra rewards."

Liu Yonglu raised his head suddenly and looked at Sir Gregory with an incredible look. He thought, Prince Andrew, you are such a stingy guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes! You are just treating me like a fool!

"However, when he heard that Baldwin Abbey had collapsed, he allocated a large sum of extra money from the royal treasury to help you rebuild the manor.

The overall scale...I guess it will be in accordance with the regulations of the old chief, the Sisram family."

"Hey, Jie... Tsk, oh... Prince Andrew is too polite! No matter how big the house is, it's just a place to eat and sleep. It would be troublesome for me to clean it up if it's so grand.

By the way, please tell Prince Andrew to make the front yard bigger, with a small playground, and even better, some children’s toys, swings, and tree houses.

The wallpaper for the interior decoration is dark purple, Mi Lier likes this color the most..."

Liu Yonglu counted on his fingers and warned, and Sir Gregory almost threw the wine at him.

The last letter was written by the little genius brother and sister. Liu Yonglu skipped most of the first half because it was all hymns to the Saint's sect quoting from scriptures. The main point was only mentioned in the latter part, in which they asked the saints to be more careful, as they and their brother and sister would soon follow the exploration ship to the Lost Sea to rescue them.

Help me... You make me feel like I'm going to die...

"This is a letter from Millie Tang."

After handing Liu Yonglu's letter, Gregory took out two more letters and handed them to Millie Tang. The envelope of the first letter was exquisite and elegant, and there was a hot mark on it with molten wax. Liu Yonglu recognized the mark on the hot mark. He had seen it on Millie Tang's silver badge before. It was the emblem of Miskatonic University.

"What do you mean? Mi Li'er, the school is unhappy about you taking too long of a leave?

No, wait until we return to Mosesad, I will bring two packs of cigarettes to see your principal, and see if I can keep my school title or not, so that it will be convenient for our children to go to school later."

"Shhhh!"

Millie Tang stared at the letter and waved her little hands around as if swatting away a fly.

The letter from the school was definitely not to urge her to go back to teach. She had a special status at the University of Michigan and had to go on business trips from time to time to solve special incidents. It was common for her to disappear for a year or two.

The reason for writing to her this time was because something happened at the University of Michigan. It can be concluded that it was a special incident. As a witch descendant who was a long-term guest at the school, the principal asked her to come back and visit when she had time.

"Oh……"

Millie Tang frowned, the University of Michigan is not an ordinary university. Many professors in this school are mystics scholars. The special incident that they cannot solve... seems to be very serious.

As for the second letter, she only read it once before quickly folding it and putting it in her pocket.

"What is it written?" Liu Yonglu asked suspiciously from the side.

"Don't tell you!"

Millie Tang looked a little unnatural as she picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Don't tell me, hurry up, stop making trouble... stop making trouble..."

Would Liu Yonglu let Millie Tang pass by? They were sitting close to each other, so Liu Yonglu stretched out his hand to grab it without any further ado. Millie Tang grabbed his wrist, and the two of them started fighting in front of Gregory.

"Cough cough..."

Gregory thought, what are you two doing? There's someone sitting opposite you, so you can't be so affectionate in front of others. "I'll show you my father's letter when I get home."

Millie Tang pinched Liu Yonglu's arm hard, and Liu Yonglu then stopped with a playful smile.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business, Ricky. I called you here today to ask for your opinion."

When it comes to serious matters, Gregory's whole temperament changes, his eyes become sharp, and his body leans forward slightly:
“In the past two days, Upper and Lower Kurt have begun a tentative exchange of fire in Harlan City.

Prince Herama asked me yesterday if I wanted to hold a wedding for Carol and Miss Soraya this weekend."

The two sentences seem to be unrelated, but in fact they contain a thousand connections! Hera Ma was so anxious to get Carol married because he wanted to send a signal that Kurt had formed an alliance with Moses Sad.

Soraya, who was in Oia at this time, was actually Yasmin. Helama should have reached an agreement with her in private that Yasmin would come forward to expose Zahir's conspiracy and ambition before and after the wedding.

This is a double blow to Kurt in terms of public opinion and will directly affect the future battle situation.

The reason why Sir Gregory did not agree immediately was because he still had concerns. Now that the war had just begun and the situation was not clear, Moses Sader was not in a hurry to place a bet.

If the war situation takes a sudden turn for the worse after agreeing and Herama is quickly defeated, Mosesad will be in a very embarrassing situation. Not to mention borrowing the port of Oia, the war between the two countries may rekindle in the future.

As for what Carol himself meant…Gregory didn’t even consider it.

In Gregory's opinion, it doesn't matter who Carol marries! If Soraya doesn't work, he can just find another one. It doesn't matter if he finds any reason to call off the marriage. At this time, the overall interests of Moses Sadeh come first.

It’s not that Gregory and Carol are distant. On the contrary, Carol can be said to have grown up under Gregory’s watch, and he is closer to him than his own son.

But Gregory himself was from an old aristocratic family, and his own marriage was the product of political marriage. Due to inertia of thinking, the old man did not care about the love affairs of young people at all.

How could Liu Yonglu not guess what Gregory was thinking?
Get married after the battle? This must have made Carol very anxious. These past two days, Liu Yonglu and Ferhat have been tinkering with the Sun Chariot every day, while Carol has been accompanying his fiancée to go shopping and hunting every day.

Several times at night, Liu Yonglu saw from afar Carol sending Yasmine back to her room. The door was closed, but Carol stood outside for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

My buddy's eyes are red with anxiety! If you make him wait any longer, he will definitely get sick!
At the critical moment, I must give my brother a kick. It must be done! And it must be done as soon as possible!

"Old Sir, let me tell you this... If this happened in Mosesad, and outsiders got involved, would you expect them to help you out? Or would you expect them to add icing on the cake?

Another point, you may not be familiar with Grand Duke Zahir, but I have met him. In order to please the gods, this man even…"

Liu Yonglu cut off the main point and did not mention the stone slabs in the crypt. He only said that Zahir used cocoons to suck the blood of his own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to the gods. It was because of this that Soraya turned against her biological father.

To be honest, it was Liu Yonglu who understood Sir Gregory. When he said that Carol and his girlfriend were in love, Gregory wouldn't even listen.

But Gregory really listened to the two judgments on the analysis of the situation.

It is right to help someone when he is in trouble, and this may help you gain greater benefits. The key point is the second point. Gregory has a very bad impression of mysticism and gods, and he himself is a militant.

The Moses Sadd royal family has always been conservative in its attitude towards the occult, as can be seen from Prince Andrew. The royal family has handed over such matters entirely to the Special Events Investigation Department, and is unwilling to get involved themselves.

The Helamamossids might be able to accept it, but a monarch like Zahir, who has devoted his whole heart and soul to the gods, is definitely not a good alliance partner.

"I see. Our judgment is surprisingly consistent. The wedding will be scheduled for this weekend. Coincidentally, Carol's parents also arrived in Oia yesterday evening.

As for the details of the wedding, Heramar is the host, so it is safer to let him arrange it. You will assist and make sure the wedding goes smoothly. "

"Don't worry, old sir. We are experts in weddings, funerals and birthdays. Leave it to me and you can take care of it!"

Liu Yonglu smiled brightly, and suddenly his eyes swept over the pile of letters left on the table and asked Gregory:

"Whose letters are these, old sir?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. These are all from Kogan, all written to him by his sister. You can bring them all back to him on the way."

……

In the city of Tirmsi, Grand Duke Zahir sat on the throne, listening to his chief governor Tariq reporting on the latest war situation in the city of Harun.

Although both sides have assembled troops, the war is currently only at the stage of mutual testing.

Kurt is not Moses Sad. Here, forbidden spells are considered a semi-open secret. As long as both sides do not use forbidden spells and do not alarm the gods, the war will not be considered to be escalated.

After talking about the feedback from the front line, Tariq handed over a small cylindrical paper tube containing the important secret information that had just been sent back.

"Recently, our intelligence work in Oia City has made some progress, and we have obtained a lot of useful information."

Zahir said nothing, opened the paper tube and looked at the note, then waved to Tariq, who saluted and left.

At the same time in the desert dungeon, Zahir's real body exhaled heavily.

Neither of these two pieces of information are good news!
According to spies, Carol is going to marry Miss Soraya this weekend, and Heramar is arranging it personally. It is said that he has already made a bold statement that he will prepare the most grand wedding in the southern continent.

Miss Soraya? It must be Yasmin, the rebellious girl!

It seems that the Mosesad people want to place a heavy bet on Herama. It is definitely not good news for Kurt to have this ally.

The second piece of information shocked him even more: Heramar was secretly making the Sun Chariot, and... and it was said to be almost finished! ?
Zahir turned his head and looked at his own solar chariot. He felt that this was too unbelievable. You made a solar chariot? Then what was mine?
Could it be that there is more than one slab of stone? Or does the Sun Chariot not rely entirely on the slab of stone?

"What are you thinking about, Zaheer?"

Seeing his ally look as if he had seen a ghost, the old king on the three-headed monster asked.

Zahir did not hide anything and told Blood Madness all the information in the paper tube. At this time, Blood Madness had already integrated Uwe's memory. The three of them naturally knew that the stone slab in the desert cave was only a small part, and Big Head was still in the Lost Sea!
Could it be that... those people found the rest of the stone slabs!

The old king, Barlov, and the Blood Prince all of a sudden perked up. Their greed for the stone slabs was the most fundamental obsession in the depths of their souls. If they could take the rest of the stone slabs from Upper Kurt, haha, what in this world would they not be able to do in the future!

"Go, go take back the slate!"

"Kill them and give their blood to Uwe!"

"By the way, is there still Ricky Baldwin who used to pretend to be 'Dou Nival' in Oia?"

All the new and old grudges came to mind!
"It's just that I still have to stay in Upper Kurt. The war has already started. If something goes wrong, I can't leave the front line."

Sitting in the city of Tilmsi is his own clone, but the clone cannot solve all problems at the critical moment, and Zahir is in a dilemma.

"How difficult is that? How about we go to Oia City for you?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we promise to make this wedding..."

"Rivers of blood!"
