   Chapter 764 95. It seems to fall in love with the same man.JPG-【515】

   (add more updates for Qingyi brothers)

   "My ship has a lot of rules, and you have to learn a lot. You have to restrain your evil nature there and don't provoke other people."

   When leaving the Pope's chapel, Blake said to Abby Lewis, a little witch ghost with a small burden on his back and an excited face:

   "I will specially arrange someone to teach you, but the first thing you need to learn is, don't make 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."

   Abby, who was eager to leave the Holy Light environment that made her uncomfortable, said yes, but looking at the little witch's gurgling eyes, she knew that she definitely didn't plan to do what Blake ordered.

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

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

  Abby used her special "ghost step" to bounce around Black like a child playing hopscotch. She raised her head and asked:

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

   "You? Scare them?"

  Blake shook his head when he heard this. He stretched his voice and said:

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

   With your resume of bullying ordinary people, you still try to scare people? The truth is too young and too simple. If you go to the ship, you will be the object of oppression, and you may become the 'new toy' of the most evil souls.

  I let you restrain myself to protect you. "

   Having said that, the pirate patted Abby's head with a sluggish expression and said:

   "Welcome to the bottom of the Nagfar food chain, my pathetic little witch."

   "Huh, I don't believe it!"

   Abby immediately reacted, pouting with her arms crossed, and muttered:

   "I don't believe there is a more evil soul than me at my age! You must be lying!"

   "Very good, I like this kind of child who is not afraid of the sky."

  Black nodded solemnly and said:

   "Maintain your provocative attitude. When you are beaten and cry, remember to raise your head proudly. This is the demeanor that a Kul Tiran should have.

  I am optimistic about you.

   After a hundred or two years of hard work, you may be able to squeeze into the top ten of the list of evil people on the ghost ship. "

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

   The next moment, with the exclamation of the little witch, the shadow connection spread, and under the shadow of the curtain, two people, one big and one small, disappeared in the church corridor of Waycrest Manor.

   But Black did not leave immediately.

He also tiptoed to Mrs. Meredith's room. He and Abby hid outside Meredith's room. They listened with their ears first to make sure that there were no strange noises in the room before opening the window and jumping. went in.

  No way, Mrs. Meredith is now the wife of Arthur Waycrest's matchmaking, and the young couple don't have to have a sneaky tryst like in the past.

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

  It is better to be cautious.

   This is actually a slander by a bad-minded stinky pirate.

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

  Some have a layer of ash on them.

   But Madam didn't care, so she sat dignifiedly on the high-backed chair, flipping through the ledger while pounding with a slightly cumbersome gnome-engineered hole-punch calculator.

   "Yo, Waycrest's mistress is checking accounts, she's a stern and smart person."

  Blake was leaning against the dresser in the other part of the room, holding a bright red apple he just brought from the kitchen in his hand, and put it in his mouth and took a bite.

   He said something in a joking tone, disturbing Meredith's calculations, but the good lady who had been looking amazing these days was not angry, just picked up a pen and scratched in her notebook.

   stretched her waist very femininely, stretched her body, picked up the cherry wine next to her, and said to Blake:

   "The only way you can manage such a big family is to take charge of the financial power. This is what you taught me on the ship, Captain. Besides, the financial situation of the Waycrest family is indeed very bad.

   Much worse than I expected. "

   She rubbed her forehead helplessly and said:

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

   I love my Arthur.

   But if their family maintains such income and expenses, then I think I might find a way to leave them before they go bankrupt. "

   "Well, I did hear from a young age that the Waycrest family had financial constraints, and it was said that this problem had already appeared in my father's father's generation.

   But is it really as bad as you say it is? "

   Black raised his eyebrows and asked.

   Meredith took a sip of the cherry wine, probably because he felt that the taste of the wine was not enough, he stood up, walked to the wine cabinet with a swaying waist, took out a bottle of golden rum, and took out two more glasses.

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

"I've just looked at a third of those ledgers, but it's not too bad to describe. The Waycrest family has been in a cycle of 'near bankruptcy' and 'substantially bankrupt' for the past few decades. .

  When various crops in the Drustvar Mountains are not harvesting well, they even need to borrow from the Ashvane family to get through the hard times.

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

   They have inherited Colonel Arom's warrior style in their bones, and are very insensitive to things like money, which has led to many small lords who are loyal to the family in various ways of cheating and cheating in taxation.

   But this can be solved with just a little trick. After formally introducing the Albatross Chamber of Commerce into the completely blank business system of the Waycrest family, it is not a big problem to ensure the balance of payments in the first year.

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

   However, when I checked the ledger, I found something odd. "

   Meredith frowned and shared with Black the secret she had just discovered, she said:

   "Kul Tiran knows that House Waycrest is not keen on politics, and apart from our friendship with House Proudmoore, we have never had a deep relationship with the other two houses.

   But in the past ten years, the Ashvane family has been trying to get their hands deep into the Drustwar Mountains with financial assistance.

According to the income and expenditure in those ledgers, sixteen years ago, ten years ago, and seven years ago, the Ashvane family paid the Waycrest family more than 500,000 gold coins three times. Survive bankruptcy with all interest-free loans.

   That money has not been repaid until now.

   This is very different from their pursuit of high profits in business.

  In the case that the two parties are not political allies, the Ashvane family is so generous and generous, it 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 Waycrest family owes a great deal to the Ashvanes."

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

   Black shook the rum in his glass, and said softly:

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

"I?"

   Meredith's eyes widened, and she said:

   "Assassinate me? Why? I'm just a man, you mean, the main messenger behind that action is the Ashvane family?"

"clever."

The pirate snapped his fingers and said:

   "They're not just planning, they've launched substantive action.

   On the day when the wedding scene was full of fun, in a corner you didn’t know, you would have a fierce battle with at least five assassins targeting you with bare hands.

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

The arrangement of the   Witch Society in Klein City must be supported by forces behind it, and according to the testimony of the burned witches, they are also targeting you.

   Alas, you are so lucky to be alive today, this little cutie who knows nothing.

  The Ashvane family undoubtedly wanted to achieve a closer relationship with the Waycrest family, and in order to complete the alliance between the two families, they were even willing to risk completely offending the Waycrest family.

   This has gone beyond securing the status of a big family.

   In my opinion, they must be taking such a risk for 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 covenant between the Ashvane family and the Stormsong family.

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

   Mrs. Meredith shuddered after listening to the pirate's cryptic guess.

   She looked left and right and whispered:

   "They. They're going to rebel against Her Majesty Daelin? To seize the kingship?"

   "Not necessarily. If they were smart, they wouldn't take the risk with Dalene's reputation as high as it gets."

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

   "But the Ashvanes are sure that they have ambitions for kingship, and that family has always been rich in such ambitious people.

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

   But speaking of it, the government of Kul Tiras is not a monarchy in the true sense. The four major families joined together hundreds of years ago, and the king should have been elected.

   It’s just that the Proudmoore family has had three successive generations. My great-grandfather invaded 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 to the eastern continent.

   Not to mention my father.

  Kul Tiras' fleet was used by him as the sword of killing. He alone expanded the majesty of Kul Tiras to more than half of the world in more than 20 years.

  Three outstanding His Majesty Proudmoore firmly controlled the inheritance of the throne with their exploits, and the other three were unable to resist.

   But rules are rules.

  The other three theoretically also have the qualifications to become kings.

   In the face of such a 'strong claim', who wouldn't be tempted except for the Waycrest family? "

   Having said this, the stinky pirate concluded in a very unhappy manner:

   "There is both darkness and political conspiracy. If the darkness in the Drustwa area was not temporarily suppressed, three of the four major families in the country would have problems.

  Dai Lin is too embarrassed to say that she is an excellent king, can such an inner worry be called a stable kingship? "

   "But you also said that Her Majesty Dai Lin's reputation is so high, the entire fleet is loyal to him, and he can rely on this reputation to overcome all bad signs."

   Mrs. Meredith said worriedly:

   "It shouldn't be a problem in a short time, right?"

   "Yes, certainly not when he was alive, his charisma and his strength are enough to make those prying guys fill with fear."

  Black said quietly:

   "But what if he's gone? What if he suddenly dies in a battle? All the problems of savings will explode at once, and the whole of Kul Tiras will fall apart in an instant.

   As long as Daelin dies and there is no qualified heir, the seemingly powerful Kul Tiras will immediately decline and eventually become a second-rate country in the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity.

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

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

   Meredith breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, she raised her glass, half compliment, half sincerely said:

   "Isn't this still you? With the blessing of your wisdom and strength, Kul Tiras will continue to prosper."

   "That's right."

  The stinky pirate accepted this compliment shamelessly.

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

Arthur Waycrest, holding a sharp sword, rushed in angrily, seeing his new wife and a strange man so close, still drinking wine together, the young man who had just married instantly felt that he was wearing a mask on his head. A heavy hat.

   Well, love is a light, so green that he panicked.

"I knew it!"

   Arthur seemed to be drinking a little bit of wine, and he was not sober. He held the sword and said with pain on his face:

   "I knew you had a secret. You mysteriously disappeared at Arom's Terrace that night. I wanted to find it, but I was afraid to face the terrible truth.

  You were out there, but you brought him home!

   Meredith, I love you so much, but why are you to me."

   Facing the scene of the arrest, Mrs. Meredith and Blake were not too panicked. The former made up his mind to take the Waycrest family to join Blake and serve His Royal Highness the prince.

   And Black

   He is a master assassin. Arthur's footsteps are so heavy, he hides outside the door to eavesdrop on conversations and his breathing is so heavy, how could he not find it?

   "Listen to me, Arthur."

   Mrs. Meredith brushed her hair helplessly, and was about to introduce Black's identity when Arthur shouted:

   "No, I don't listen! Are our pasts fake? Those sweet words, those eachother, those beautiful things."

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

  Blake put down the wine glass, disguised the fraudulent orb disguise on his body, took off the blindfold on his face, and brushed away his golden hair.

   The moment he raised his head, Arthur Waycrest, who was slightly drunk, widened his eyes for a moment.

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

  "I thought you were really dead

  My God, the light is on, I never thought we would meet one day. I have sworn to avenge you by beheading every greenskin in the world with Her Majesty Daelin. "

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

  Black tapped Arthur on the shoulder and said:

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