Lord Chronicle

Chapter 196 Confession
Saying goodbye to Pasqueira, Sol left the stone house, and when he walked back to the top of the mountain, from a distance, he saw Elebena lying on a pile of gold coins of unknown origin, her fat body twisting and turning.

Saul couldn't help wiping off his sweat. As expected of a "wealth predator", it seemed that she had succeeded in forcing her debts.

Seeing Sol approaching, Elebena raised her head: "Have you seen the patriarch?"

Sol nodded: "I've seen it."

"What did he say?" Elebena asked nervously.

Facing the culprit who abducted himself into the trap, Saul had mixed feelings for a moment.He sighed: "Master Elebena, you really found me a good job."

When he said that, Elebena naturally knew the result.A smug smile cracked her dragon face: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Don't dare to make trouble with her, Sol quickly said: "Of course I am extremely honored to be able to serve the noble Dragon Clan."

There was a look of "you are sensible" in the eyes, Elebena said: "Then how to look for it, do you have any idea?"

Sol pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head: "It's the first time I've heard about this ruin, and I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. But please rest assured, the Dragon Clan's business is my business, and my business is also the Dragon Clan's business. Even if I search the whole continent, I will definitely find it."

Hmph, even if you are as fine as a ghost, you still have to drink my old lady... Ah no, my footwashing water.After all your calculations, you never imagined that the ruins are in my territory, right?

Sol's loyalty made Elebena very satisfied: "I really saw the right person, so let's go back."

As she said that, she said casually: "By the way, have you taken out the treasure of Kajirido? I remember that a quarter of it belongs to me."

Boom... Thor nearly fell over.How cruel, forcing me to work for you, and never forgetting my poor family property.Fat female dragon, let's wait and see!
On the surface, he said with a dry smile: "There was an accident, and I haven't got it yet. But when I get it, I will definitely send your share right away."

Only then was Elebena completely satisfied, she took out the space ring and put the gold coins on the ground into it, then loaded Sol again, and left Dragon Island.

************************************************** ***********************
Sol was kidnapped by Elebena around noon, and it was just dusk when he returned to Lovell. From this point of view, the efficiency of the Blue Dragon is very high.

Landing at the bottom of an uninhabited valley at the foot of the Mallor Mountains, she put Sol off her back.The latter immediately collapsed to the ground because of Elebena's haste to hurry, and her heart was devastated by the extremely fast flight.

"I'm going back, and it's all up to you." Elebena slowly changed back to her human form.

Saul nodded palely: "I will try to find it."

After walking a few steps, Elebena suddenly turned around again: "Also, I think you should be very clear about the consequences if this matter gets out."

"Haha, of course." Thor nodded his head immediately.

After staring at him for a moment, Elebena suddenly reached out and patted Saul on the shoulder, then turned and left, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

After her figure disappeared, Sol often breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the ground with his limbs spread out: "My god!"

In just one afternoon, he walked back and forth on the legendary Dragon Island, not only seeing the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, but also knowing the amazing secrets hidden in the ruins.

Such huge and frequent changes only happened within a few hours. Looking back now, Sol always feels like a dream.

Just thinking about it like this, Sol lay on the ground for a long time, until he watched the golden sunset and the sky gradually darken, he felt hungry for a while.

Alas, no matter how annoying you are, you still have to go home for dinner.Saul patted his butt, rolled over and got up.

By the time he returned to the territory, it was already half an hour later.Sol was quickly discovered by the guards patrolling at night, and was escorted back to the Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Lord!"

As soon as Sol opened the door, Jessica, who was fidgeting in the hall of the lord's mansion, saw him, and they immediately rushed over in surprise.

"My lord, are you alright?" Kress looked him up and down, as if he had decided that Elebena would lose some of his arms and legs.

"Nonsense, do you think I seem to have something to do?" Saul said indifferently.

"I heard from Chip that you were kidnapped by Elebena..." Jessica was concerned.

Sol showed her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, she just asked me to talk about the past."

Having been with him for so long, although the two of them didn't have the same heart, they still had a good understanding. Jessica immediately understood the meaning of Sol's words.

She said to Chip and Kress: "The lord has returned, so you should also go to rest."

"It's okay, I'm not tired...Hey, Chip, what are you doing?" Kress just shook his head before being dragged out by Chip who didn't say a word.

Sol couldn't help thinking that Chip knew how to figure out what to do. After the two left, facing Jessica's questioning gaze, he scratched his head and said, "To be honest, I'm in a bad situation this time."

Startled by him, Jessica hurriedly said: "What's the matter, did that female dragon blackmail you again?"

Sol couldn't laugh or cry: "If this is the case, it would be easy to handle. This time it is not Elebena, but the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, who threw a troublesome matter on my head."

"It's okay if it's not... What? You mean the patriarch of the Dragon Clan!?" Jessica was just relieved, and then surprised again.

She couldn't help asking: "Honestly, you... where did you go?"

Sol spread his hands together: "It's not too far away, I just went to Long Island for a walk."

"Dragon Island!?" Jessica horrified, "What's going on?"

Sol didn't answer right away, but asked first, "Where's Marlene?"

Jessica said: "I was afraid that she would be worried. I didn't tell her about your disappearance. Now she has gone to bed."

Sol was relieved when he heard that Marlene was fine.There is no way, now she is closely linked with that ruin and the future fate of me, Sol.

Then, he told Jessica about his trip to Long Island in detail.Although the secret of the ruins is of great importance, Sol will not hide it from Jessica. Everything is... er, you mean the treasure of Kajirido?Then I didn't say it.

Jessica was also shocked when she heard that what was hidden in the ruins might be a way to control the dragons, and Pasquela asked Sol to find the ruins.

She couldn't help but said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Sol spread his hands helplessly: "What else can I do, I can only delay for a while. If I don't think about how to deal with that thing in Marlene's body, I dare not let the Dragon Clan know."

Jessica said worriedly: "Then don't let the dragons find out that you are lying to them."

Sol also sighed helplessly: "Who would have thought that there would be such a big piece of hot potato in the territory. If there is a way to throw it away completely, I would really be thankful."

Thinking of the series of things that happened because of the ruins, Jessica was also silent.The scramble around it has caused Lowell a lot of trouble.

She couldn't help sighing softly: "Marlene is so pitiful, why is it her?"

Sol stretched out his hand to touch her shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely not let Marlene suffer any harm."

"Yeah." Jessica nodded, resting her head on Sol's chest in a daze.

"You have been away for so long and haven't come back. I have been afraid that something will happen to you outside. Later, I heard from Kress that you have gone through so many things from the frozen plateau, and even encountered the Black Armored Cavalry. I'm just regretting, why did I drive you away at that time."

Well, it's good that you know, so why were you so cruel in the first place?Sol also sighed in his heart, of course, he dared not say this.

Seeing Jessica leaning in his arms with a gloomy face, Sol lifted up a strand of red hair hanging from her forehead, and gently wrapped it between his fingers: "Don't blame yourself, besides, it's not a bad idea for me to go out this time." There is no gain, and it is worthwhile to solve the threat of the orcs."

Jessica looked up at him, then let Sol's actions go: "It's just unexpected that you will meet Amada again."

Hearing her mention of Amada, Sol recalled that night, and couldn't help but look away a little guilty: "Ahaha, yes, I was surprised too."

Jessica always knew him well, and immediately caught something wrong with Sol: "What's the matter, did something happen between you?"

What a powerful intuition, if I have a one-night stand with her, and you may find out about..., then it's okay?

He was so frightened that he quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, if I hadn't met Darth, I might have died in the northern wilderness. This kid has been thinking about you, and he asked me to say hello."

Jessica couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Nonsense. By the way, I just got the news that your good friend has been rewarded by the king and has been officially promoted to the deputy of General Pintat."

Sol couldn't help being a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Lovell has always lagged behind in news, how could Jessica get the information from the front line so quickly?

Jessica couldn't help pulling his finger angrily and biting it: "Did you forget it so quickly? It's a pity that he came here to take refuge in you."

Sol suddenly realized: "Ah, you mean the Thieves Guild?"

Jessica nodded: "Yes, they moved in soon after you left, and Garrett even came to pay a special visit. Now they set up a public contact point in Lovell, and they will send in from the outside world every once in a while. The latest news, otherwise I wouldn't have known Ruhr led such a big deal."

Knowing that she was referring to the Necromancer Guild's involvement in the war, Sol estimated that it might have spread everywhere these days.

He couldn't help joking: "Let the king have a headache, maybe it's a good thing for us, because those undead have no time to harass Lovell anymore."

Jessica couldn't help snorting: "I'm not as optimistic as you. Just after the orcs were dealt with, necromancers appeared again. I really don't know when this war will end."

Sol carefully felt the satin-like touch of the hair between his fingers, but said in his mouth: "Don't worry, I have already asked the dragon clan. As long as I find the ruins, they will help deal with the necromancer."

As he spoke, he asked, "By the way, how is the territory during this time? Those thieves didn't do anything wrong, did they?"

Jessica nodded and said, "The territory is very peaceful. The dwarves have built a pier, and Reid is actively expanding the water caravan business. There are also some refugees coming in, but I have made proper arrangements."

"I secretly asked the Yeying team to monitor the thieves for a period of time. They were very quiet and did nothing out of the ordinary. And since they entered, the law and order in the territory has improved a lot, and the theft has almost disappeared."

It seems that Garrett did not lie to himself, Sol said with confidence: "That's good, there are a lot of headaches now, and it is always a good thing to have a stable source of information."

Jessica said: "It's much more convenient to know the news from the outside world in time. In addition, I hired some thieves to monitor the Adventurer's Guild for us. Those people have become a lot more honest recently."

Fortunately, there is Jessica in charge, so the territory can be organized after he leaves.Sol couldn't help but said: "Jessica, it's really thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know how to manage this mess."

Jessica couldn't help but glared at him: "What a mess, this is your territory."

Saying that, she buried her head in Sol's arms again, like a lazy kitten: "I'm your manager, it doesn't matter how hard it is. Besides, compared to those things you did, and What counts?"

Knowing that the reason why she worked so hard was actually all for herself, Sol couldn't help stroking her hair: "When the war is over, I will make a lot of money and hire a bunch of officials, so you don't have to work so hard anymore .”

Suddenly, Jessica raised her head with a half-smile: "Do we need to wait until the war is over?"

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Sol's heart, and he stammered: "You... what do you mean?"

"Can you tell me what's going on about the treasure of Kajirido?" Jessica smiled slyly, like Sol, reached out to hook his hair, and slowly twisted it.

For a split second, Thor felt his heart shattered.Well, Kress, you sold me within half a day after you came back.

Knowing that he could no longer hide it, Sol had no choice but to make a thorough confession to Jessica, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Hey, I haven't even got a single gold coin yet, so I've already given a quarter to Elebena. I almost lost my life, not to mention how suffocated."

To his depression, Jessica gave him a blank stare: "Hmph, who told you to be so greedy. Don't think I don't know anything, you must want to hide some of it first, and then bring back the rest, right?"

Sol couldn't help smiling bitterly: "It seems that I really can't hide anything from you."

Unexpectedly, Jessica said with a straight face: "Master, you are the lord of Lovell, and all the property in the territory belongs to you. Why do you do such things behind my back? Do you think that I will withhold those Do you keep the treasure for yourself?"

What Sol was most afraid of was that Jessica would be serious. He quickly said: "Of course not, I also plan to send all those treasures to the treasury of the territory. But, you understand, men always have to leave some money for emergencies..."

Jessica was still stern, but when she saw that he was at a loss, she couldn't help but chuckled: "You, if you need money, you just go to Reed, why are you still worried about me? It makes me seem to be in charge of my husband Wife who spends money... ah!"

She suddenly realized the grammatical flaw in her words, she covered her mouth and her face turned red.

Sol immediately salivated and said, "Hey, what did you say about your wife just now?"

Jessica kept lying in Saul's arms, but at this moment she wanted to stand up in embarrassment.Sol didn't let her go so easily, he exerted a little force on his hands, Jessica cried out in surprise, and fell back again.

"Quick, let go of me."

Jessica's blurred eyes widened, and she stood up immediately: "Ah, I... I almost forgot, there are still people waiting for you."

Just about to have a feast, but it fell short, Sol couldn't help feeling upset: "Whoever he is, let's continue..."

But Jessica couldn't help but pull him up: "Stop making trouble, come with me."

Sol had no choice but to follow her with a frustrated face and walked into the house.

The opportunity was lost, not to mention Sol's disappointment at this point.He couldn't help shouting in his heart: How dare you spoil my good deeds!Even if you are a barbarian on the frozen plateau, I will fight you hard!
