Chapter 47: 2 things (below)

In the era of very underdeveloped communications, any aristocrat who wants to keep the information he has updated always needs to consume a lot of manpower. In the case of limited manpower, how to balance the investment of such resources has become one of the superiors. Door learning.
From a common sense, Francis should be called the last wise superior.
In order to intercept Sally, he arranged most of his subordinates to go to seven or eight villages and towns on the outskirts of Hollier City. At the same time, he returned to the Duke's Mansion quickly as soon as possible-because as long as he arrived first, he could then sway. The arrival of the "squatting guard" sister, comfortably grasp all the initiative to make all preparations ...
A decision like this is no problem to anyone. As long as the plains are on horses, they will be inspected by Francis, and if you walk from the forest, how can you run past your warm-blooded horse?
Unless the other party can fly from the sky, Francis does not think that Sally has any way to return to Hollier City by bypassing her surveillance.
I have made so many measures, Francis can be said to be in his heart. So at noon, he appeared outside Hollier's gate, and couldn't help sighing, revealing some relaxed smiles.
I imagined my sister's helpless running in the wilderness. Francis rode into the city with his head on his chest. These days, because he was traveling too fast, the people responsible for gathering information had not had time to report to him. Anything about the city of Hollier, but Francis was not in a hurry. The nobleman should have the elegance of the nobleman. He was going to return to the mansion and listen to his report.
Of course, another important reason is ...
Never had a long-distance raid so long, Francis was a little bit hurt at this time.
He had been riding a fast horse for three days in a row, and suffered a lot of physical exhaustion, which he could hardly support later. He suffered a lot. The saddle was scratching the inside of his thighs, and the egg hurt even the corners of his mouth. But for the "elegance" of the aristocracy, Francis did not dare to choose to walk as soon as he entered the city, because once dismounted, it is estimated that the walking posture will be as ridiculous as the turtle.
是 Then the Earl returned straight to the Duke's Mansion with a straight back, and when the door behind the mansion closed and the old housekeeper Alpha stepped out to greet him, he was relieved and climbed down stiffly from the horse.
"Hoo ..."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his head with Francis who was afraid to straighten his legs. He looked up in a good mood and said to the old housekeeper: "Alfa, I don't want to ride a fast horse this time, it's really uncomfortable--"
"Oh, Master, your return time is much earlier than expected."
"Yeah, something has happened, and the border has not been very flat recently. Sally and I came back from the road. She's behind. She shouldn't have arrived yet."
This is a long-time reason. When Francis said it, his expression was very natural. The expression of the Alpha housekeeper in front of him did not change much. He smiled, but waved his subordinates to help the young count. But after taking a few steps, when Francis was about to return to the mansion, the steward suddenly said, "Isn't it ... what's the match between master and lady?"
"Game?"
眉 Francis raised her eyebrows, thinking about the past where she always competed with Sally. I am afraid that Alpha still thinks that she and Sally are "competing"? But thinking about such a reason seems very logical, then nodded: "Also, I'm afraid this time ... she's going to lose."
The young count's smile was confident and brilliant. And Alpha didn't say anything else, nodded, it always seemed the same, and turned to arrange the guard knights.
Returning to the bedroom with the help of a servant, Francis's first thing was to take a hot bath-holding the plump maid who had been possessed by him at the age of fifteen, he vented in the bath after a fierce vent, and was covered by physical irritation. He just feels so happy.
Sally is dead, and the next thing is to wait for his father to pass the title to himself.
Francis couldn't wait to laugh and laugh, but His Majesty was a little bit involved because of the excessive range of movements. The pain of this "pump" made him very uncomfortable. The maid carefully applied the ointment to him.
The illusions in my mind are the glorious scenes after I take control of the territory.
The Luxi Fron family as an old noble, the power net radiated almost covers half of the empire. He has aunts and uncles, who are all nobles who are big and small lords in other territories. If you want to come up by yourself, the whole kingdom Should all be trembling with the powerful power of the family?
As soon as he thought of the surging royal family's surrender before him, the corner of Francis's mouth slightly raised--
"Master, what makes you so happy?"
"There are so many happy things, like you here ... a little bigger."
Francis was in a good mood, reached out and squeezed a few jokes, which provoked the maid for a while. The desperately reluctant to look at him again wanted to vent his anger, but thinking that he hadn't got everything done yet, he calmed down and got ready to let his subordinates report the latest information.
"Master ... don't you take a break?"
不 "No, I want to see how long it takes my sister to come back."
Francis responded casually, reaching for the neckline of the white shirt, and his tone returned to plainness.
"Miss Sally?"
的 The maid who got up from the bed put on her skirt again, and answered strangely, "Miss ... has she already returned?"
"She won't be able to return ... huh? Uh?"
表情 Francis froze with a stern expression, it seemed that it took a few seconds before she noticed something wrong with the maid's words beside her, and the movement of arranging her sleeves stopped in the air. "What are you talking about? She's back?"
"Yesterday, Bishop Benjamin held a lecture and blessing ceremony on the 'Rose Cross' temple in the square. Miss Sally was announced as the new 'candidate priest'! Master you just came back, I'm afraid you don't know yet? Miss she-Master ... Master? "
Suddenly the talking maid noticed that Francis's expression seemed a bit wrong, and the words hesitated.
"You ... You mean, Sally has become a‘ priest candidate '? I—I mean… did she attend the ceremony yesterday?

Although he didn't believe this possibility at all, Francis still had to confirm the news carefully-and to his relief, the maid shook his head.
Hey, that's it ... The Rose Cross was suddenly convulsive, and it was impossible for Sally to return.
想到 He thought to himself.
"I didn't go to the site to see it, but I heard that it was a blessing ceremony that Bishop Benjamin personally did for Miss Sally. Miss Miss ... should have returned."
The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly freezes for a moment.
Francis, who was the elemental master, was fixed in place as if struck by lightning. In the air for a short time, the free magic elements began to gather. The maid standing beside seemed to be enveloped by a hot flame ...
Francis turned his head, blinked, and looked at the woman in front of him, with his head slightly open, and his mouth opened, as if trying to say something, but after a few seconds, he couldn't say anything ...
Sally is not dead ...
Sally fled ...
I not only fled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but also returned to Hollier City before myself ...
Nowadays, it has become a "priest candidate"? !!
呢 What about my cavalry? What about the killing team? What about the vigilance laid out all the way? !!
I felt like I was being thrown with cold water in the head. Francis had an unprecedented frustration. He used to plan for the bad feeling that the wolf cavalry gave Sally, and now it seems to be working on himself!
He tried to integrate the information, Francis reached out and grabbed the maid's wrist, and asked in a low voice: "You mean ... you just heard about these things, and she didn't return to the Duke's House?"
"Yes ... Yes, Master. Miss seems to have been resting in the monastery of the Rose Cross these days, and has not returned to the mansion."
The servant girl felt that her arm was about to be pinched off by him, and immediately answered Francis' question as quickly as possible.
The answer, however, was that Francis gasped for breath at last-because he found himself ... there was still room for a fight.
Although Suzanne entered the temple, she could not rely on the strength of the temple to confront her at all. In other words, Sally is now "defensive" more than "offensive".
But Francis did just the opposite, because he ... still took the initiative!
He figured this out, and Francis breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and then took a few steps back, sitting back on the bed with one butt—and this movement made him make a howl like a pig ...
He forgot that he has been in pain.
