Heritage foundry

Chapter 580
Mrs. Vin Diesel's meeting with her mother did not have the tears and tears that South expected.

Instead, they just saluted each other, and their attitude was not even affectionate, it could even be called indifference.

"Our wife has great conflicts with the Duchess Barot, and the shadow of the Duchess Barot has covered our lady's entire childhood, but no matter what, the Duchess Barot is our wife's biological mother, which cannot be separated blood relationship." The middle-aged fat man explained to Sous in a low voice.

"The relationship between noble family members is really incomprehensible!" Sous said with some headaches.

The middle-aged fat man chuckled and said:

"This is a distress that only the upper class people have. It is not about the stomach, but about the contradictions in the mind. This is still good. If it is mixed with interests, then the consequences will be serious. For ten years, in order to compete for the power and interests of the family, There are not a few aristocratic territories that have been divided by infighting."

South glanced at the middle-aged fat man in surprise. What this guy said was profound but very reasonable.

"Don't look at me like that, as a Duke's steward, the knowledge I need to learn is beyond your imagination!"

Sous was depressed when he heard the words, he was actually despised by a noble butler!
However, this idle chat didn't last long. The middle-aged fat man had arranged everything for Mrs. Vin Diesel, and hurried out of the other hospital to prepare materials for Mrs. Vin Diesel.

South followed the middle-aged fat man's knight son, guarding the gate of the small courtyard where Mrs. Vin Diesel lived, and devoted himself to his duties.

When it was getting dark, the middle-aged fat man trotted all the way to the gate of the small courtyard with a stack of documents in his hands, sweating profusely.

"Finally caught up, finally caught up, thanks to the help of the people from the Platinum Principality, otherwise such detailed information, if we come by ourselves, we would not be able to collect such detailed information in less than a month!"

These words seemed to be addressed to Sous, and also to his son, but neither of them answered, and just let the middle-aged fat man run into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, under a vine, Mrs. Vin Diesel was enjoying the sunset with a half-grown boy.

"Brother, are you afraid?" Mrs. Vin Diesel asked.

The half-grown boy showed a wry smile that didn't match her age, and said very maturely:
"My mother taught me that fear doesn't help anything!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel nodded in satisfaction, and then asked again:
"So, do you want to avenge your father?"

The half-aged boy glanced at the married elder sister strangely, and said:
"Fantasy doesn't help anything either. In the Sea God Empire, any attempt to avenge His Majesty Platinum is a fantasy."

Now it was Mrs. Vin Diesel's turn to be surprised. She looked at her younger brother and said:

"You really think so? I thought, at your age, you don't know what awe is!"

The young man smiled wryly and said:
"I didn't know it at first, but that day when I saw the platinum knights holding the platinum king's flag, the soldiers did not dare to stand with their soldiers wherever they passed. Anyone who blocked the killing did not hesitate for a moment. Even my father, when he saw When the Platinum King Banner appeared, I didn't make unnecessary resistance, so I knew that there are some people in this world who need to be in awe!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel fell silent, and after a while, she said:

"My brother, I'm really sorry to let you go through such things at this age. This is not a burden that a child of your age should have."

The young man shook his head, showing a firm expression on his immature face.

"No, I thought I was lucky. I understood this truth earlier than my peers. This will provide me with greater help in my future life!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel was both pleasantly surprised and distressed by the maturity and wisdom of the young man.

Surprisingly, a perfect heir has appeared in the Barot family, and I feel sorry for his younger brother who has to bear such responsibilities and sufferings when he is less than 14 years old.

"Brother, I will pass on your attitude to your brother-in-law and your brother-in-law's father, the current Duke of Vin Diesel, the confidant of His Majesty Platinum!"

"If what you say is what you really think in your heart, then, I think, you don't have to worry about the pressure from the upper echelon of the empire. His Majesty Platinum is enough to carry everything!"

The boy nodded, looked at his elder sister gratefully, and said:

"Everything I said is what I really think in my heart, and it will not change, at least until I have the strength to fight against that majesty, it will never change!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel smiled gratifiedly, stretched out her hand, and gently pressed her brother's hair.

At this time, the middle-aged fat housekeeper walked into the small courtyard with a stack of documents.

"Ma'am, Mr. Balote!" The middle-aged fat man first saluted respectfully, and then said the business.

"Ma'am, you have collected all the information you want." In front of outsiders, the middle-aged fat man didn't say a word of nonsense, appearing very professional.

Mrs. Vin Diesel nodded gracefully, motioned the housekeeper to put the materials in the study, and then asked:
"You went there yourself. How is the business of the Barot family?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged fat man glanced at Mr. Balotte, but seeing that his wife didn't respond, he said:
"It's very unsatisfactory. After Duke Balotte's accident, the business of the Balotte family began to be suppressed by many parties. If it wasn't for the power of the Platinum Principality who didn't mean to make trouble, and if the imperial royal family was careful and thoughtful, they might not be able to support it now. After all Well, the business of the Balote family is all about resources, and the resources produced by the Duke of Balote do not have a unique specialty. Therefore, the surrounding nobles have only slightly resorted to tricks, and the Balote family has already lost Got several big clients."

"Furthermore, there are rumors circulating in the market that civil strife is imminent in the Duchy of Balote, and there may be no time to take care of production in the short term, there may be interruptions in resource supply, and there may be no ability to maintain long-term contracts. Therefore, many customers whose contracts have not expired, We have also started looking for a next home.”

The young man's face became ugly, but Mrs. Vin Diesel's face did not show any fluctuations, which was within her expectation.

"You did a good job, butler, so did my brother take any countermeasures?"

The middle-aged fat man shook his head and said:
"Not at all, and Eldest Prince Balot took a large amount of gold coins from several trading houses for an unknown purpose, which made the business situation of the Balot family even more difficult."

This time, the boy stood up directly and said angrily:

"Only the Duke himself is eligible to withdraw a large amount of cash from the Duke Barot family's business house. The eldest brother has not inherited the title of Duke, and the principals of the business house have started to flatter him?"

The middle-aged fat man bowed his head and remained silent. This was not his place to interrupt.

Mrs. Vin Diesel still said calmly:
"My brother, you are still too young. No one thinks that you can support the Barot family whose pillars have collapsed. Your elder brother's succession to the title is a matter of course for everyone, except mother, you, me and my sister. But, you will tell them that you are the right heir to inherit the title of the Barot family, and you are the one who can take back the glory of the Barot family, aren't you?"

The elder sister's words made the young boy's immature face flush red, puffed up his chest, and said:

"Yes, sister, you are right, I am the one who can restore the glory of the Barot family!"

At this time, the middle-aged fat housekeeper spoke at the right time, telling the siblings a piece of news:
"Ma'am, Mr. Balotte, just now the intelligence personnel of Platinum Principality told me that Her Majesty the Empress intends to hold the Imperial Knights Tournament and allocate resources to young knights to make up for the obliteration of 26 high-level fighters. Your Majesty Platinum. Embracing the idea, so it should become a reality soon, and I think it's an opportunity."

Mrs. Vin Diesel and the boy's eyes lit up at the same time, but they thought of different things.

The boy immediately opened his mouth and said:
"Sister, the knight guard left by my father is very powerful, and his loyalty to the Barot family and me is unquestionable. He can represent our Barot family in the knight competition!"

"If he can win, then the second sister will also have a good home. The two of them have friendship with each other!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel frowned. The news my brother said was not good, but there were more important things to deal with right now.

"Housekeeper, send a message to my husband immediately, and ask him to quickly acquire all the resources and equipment that can enhance the combat effectiveness of knights. If the news does not spread widely, seize this opportunity to increase the wealth of the Vin Diesel family." Times!"

The middle-aged fat man jumped when he heard the fat all over his body, his wife was indeed his wife, and only his wife could react to such a thing immediately.

"Ma'am, I'll do it right away!" When it came to the wealth of the Vin Diesel family, the middle-aged fat man was more enthusiastic than anyone else, and he ran out of the yard directly to deliver a message.

Then Mrs. Vin Diesel asked:

"Brother, what are you talking about? Your second sister fell in love with your knight guard?"

Seeing the elder sister's unkind expression, the boy immediately explained:

"Sister, my knight guard is called Sadade. He is only 25 years old this year. He is already a mithril-level knight, and he does not practice the life evolution methods that are not popular outside. Much stronger, if it wasn't for falling in love with the second sister, the Balotte family wouldn't be able to keep this kind of talent!"

"Although he is a commoner, as long as he thinks, whether he goes to the imperial family, the Platinum Duchy, or even the Holy See, he will get a status no less than that of a baron!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel is still frowning, even so, she is not worthy of her sister.

But after thinking about it, if this knight can win the championship of the knight competition, then when the Balotte family is in such a situation, it can be matched with his own sister.

"Look for a chance, let me meet him, and see how good a knight can make my sister's heart beat!"

Hearing that there was room for change in the elder sister's words, the young man looked happy, but after a moment, he became depressed again and said:

"Sister, elder brother seems to want to marry the second sister to the youngest son of the minister of the military department of the imperial capital."

These words made Mrs. Van Diesel's eyes brighten, and said:

"The Minister of the Military Department is also a duke. Although the youngest son cannot inherit the title, but with the power of the Minister of the Military Department, it is easy to find him an earl title. This is a good marriage. It seems that your eldest brother is not useless!"

The boy's complexion turned pale instantly, and he said in a low voice:
"It's a lover!"

Those four words made Mrs. Vin Diesel stand up straight away, her pretty face turned pale with anger!

"It's unreasonable, it's too much to deceive people, let him be someone else's lover by himself!"

The boy didn't feel happy because of his sister's reaction, but felt more and more humiliated, and said:
"If elder brother really completes this matter, the Duke Barot's family will lose any face at all!"

Mrs. Vin Diesel snorted coldly and said:

"No, brother, it's not that simple. Although your eldest brother is unreliable, he is definitely not so stupid. There must be another reason for it. Come, follow me to see your mother. Anything that happens in the Barot family, Mother should know all about it!"

The eldest daughter of the Duke of Barot's family has an extremely deep understanding of her mother.

The siblings came to their mother's room, where Mrs. Barlot was having dinner.

"Her Majesty seems to want to use the 26 nobles who died along the way to make some coats of arms!" Duchess Barrot said, making Mrs. Vin Diesel breathless.

How could this involve Her Majesty the Queen?
"The youngest son of the minister of the military found a secret room in the Duke's study. I know that secret room. It is a secret place where your father did some shady things. There is almost no private place for noble men, but The youngest son of the military minister actually found a copy of your father's supply of false gods notes!"

These words made Mrs. Vin Diesel almost faint, false god?Could it be that his father was involved with false gods, and the reason why the empire executed his father was actually true?
But Duchess Barrot showed a sneer:

"I don't understand who your father is. He even believed in the Holy Sea God in a superficial way. How could he believe in a false god?"

"Originally, I was skeptical, but the family's secret agent, came the news that almost all of these things appeared in the 26 noble territories that were beheaded by His Majesty Platinum, and these things almost drove the nobles in the imperial capital crazy. Team after team of dead soldiers and private knights frantically searched!"

"In this way, I realized that this is Her Majesty's plan. As for what she wants to plan, I can't spy on it."

A few words made Mrs. Van Diesel sweat like rain.

"Mother, don't let any outsiders know about this kind of thing. Once it gets out and ruins Her Majesty's affairs, the Barot family will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Mrs. Ballot glanced at the eldest daughter, and said with a light smile:
"Your mother, it's not your turn to remind me!"

Then the smile on his face became weird, and he said:

"The maid I gave to the youngest son of the Minister of the Military Department told me that the notebook contained the secret of using the power of false gods to prolong life and even make people live forever!"

At this moment, Mrs. Vin Diesel was really frightened. She got up and opened the door, and looked around until she confirmed that there was no one within a hundred meters. Then she took a long breath and said:
"Are you really sure that it is not father's thing, but Her Majesty's plan?"

Mrs. Ballot sneered, and then said:

"Is there anyone who knows your father's physical condition better than me? Although he is healthy because of his high life level, he can still feel the subtle aging every year. If it really belongs to your father, how can it be so?"

"Besides, in that secret room, your father would only have an affair with the wives of a few minor nobles. If this thing really belonged to your father, how could he leave such an important note there?"
