Chapter 408: New Santo (3/3)

Black Rose Manor.
As the days passed, the old general Grice's health became worse and worse, and the atmosphere in the castle became more and more depressing.
Every time Arthas came to visit his father, he would get angry in private. A young maid didn’t let go because he blocked his way. She was pushed out by his hands and fell to the ground on the spot to vomit blood. Lying on the bed.
Terry became more and more silent, staying away all day long, and his body was full of low air pressure. The servants stayed far away except for the food provided to him.
As for Elu, he is also increasingly anxious, but he knows that he is not qualified to lose his temper at will, so he is considered the most peaceful person in Black Rose Manor.
By this time, he was basically desperate about the assassination. The reason why he still took the manor was for the last perseverance in his heart and for the last time with his grandfather.
His grandfather Gris's body is deteriorating day by day, and he can hold on for half a year at most, while he is going to take refuge in Wuyue Continent. This is already a farewell.
Thinking back to the time when my grandfather turned into a giant eagle flying in the sky when I was a child, how strong and mighty my grandfather was at that time, but now he is lying in bed unable to move, his body is getting thinner and thinner, and his life is visible to the naked eye. Speed ​​left him.
At the thought of this, Elu was filled with sadness.
￡
So in the last half of the month, Elu decided to stay with his grandfather. The place he stayed the most these days was his grandfather’s bedroom. When he was fine, he said that he had encountered all the time when he went out on the Wuyue Continent. Just pick the fun and interesting ones. As long as I can see a smile on my grandfather's face. He was very satisfied.
of course. Most of the time the bedroom is still silent. Gris likes to hold the hand of his only grandson and watch it quietly. The light in his eyes is full of gentleness and reluctance, and there is a trace of pity.
Getting along these days, he saw the true temperament of his grandson, and he believed that if his kind-hearted grandson could become the lord of the city. It must be the luck of Lionheart City.
What a pity, what a pity.
Time just passed by day by day. On this day, Eru was with Gris in the bedroom as usual. He had limited experience. The story of this trip was already told, so he took a copy of the market. Read popular stories to Gris, and Gris also listened with gusto.
Suddenly, there were heavy and hurried footsteps outside the bedroom door, which sounded messy. Something should have happened.
Elu was shocked and put down the book in his hand. Turning to look at the bedroom door. Gris's expression also moved, he thought more, an anxious look appeared on his face: "Go, go and hide, hide in the cabinet, there is a secret door in the cabinet"
Before he could finish his words, the bedroom door was pushed open. The first person who appeared at the door was Arthas. Unlike his gloomy appearance in the past, he actually had a relaxed smile on his face.
"This?" Gris wondered.
Elu had already reacted, and he ‘teng’ stood up: "Did Luo Lin succeed?"
Salsas did not answer. He stepped away. Behind him, a young woman in black leather armor walked in. This woman had a warm baby face with an apologetic smile: "Father ."
"Little aunt." Eru was startled at once and leaned over to salute.
Gris was completely stunned. His lips were trembling, his hands were trembling, and there was water in his eyes. After a while, he uttered an angry shout: "You still know how to come back!"
At the same time, he tried his best to throw the book next to Wendylu, but the book didn't have much strength, and Wendylu gently reached out and took it.
She stepped forward and sat down on the chair where Eru was sitting before. She gently placed the book on the side of the bed, holding the still trembling hand of the old general Gris, and whispered: "Father, I'm back."
The so-called old man misses relatives, Gris no longer speaks, holding his little daughter's hand with both hands, tears flowed from his eyes, and Wendylu's nickname was shouted: "Shar, you are finally back. Just come back. OK. Are you leaving?"
Wendylu was full of apologies, holding her father's hand, and whispering softly: "I won't go anymore, I will stay in Lionheart City."
In fact, she will go because she never likes to be trapped in a small city. She likes to travel around the world and take risks. But not now, at least until his father leaves safely, and after Elu takes the seat of city lord.
"That's good. That's good." Gris was very happy, and the complexion on his face improved a lot.
Wendylu took the opportunity to say: "I have brought a news. City Lord Elok is dead and was assassinated by your warrior Luo Lin."
She turned to look at her nephew, smiled and said, "From today on, you will be the new city lord of Lionheart City."
"What about Luo Lin?" Eru's face was mixed with joy and sorrow. He didn't see Luo Lin, and his heart felt a little sinking.
Seeing this picture of him, Wendylu sighed in her heart. She had to admit that Luo Lin's eyes were very precise, and her nephew was indeed kind. She suddenly understood that such a character is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he may be deceived, but he may also recruit a hero like Luo Lin.
After going through ups and downs, not forgetting the original intention, this is Rollin's evaluation of Eru, but in Wendiro's view, why is he not so.
"He is not in serious trouble, but he has suffered some injuries. It is not serious, but he needs a long period of rest. You may not see him during this period." Wendylu lied to Rollin's heart.
"Oh, that's good, that's good. What can I do to help him?" Elu looked relaxed.
"No need. You just don't have to disturb him to heal his injuries with the mundane things of Lionheart City. Of course, you can visit him when you have time."
"Oh." Elu relaxed. It was only then that he realized that he was about to become the lord of the city, and his face slowly became happy.
Wendylu patted her father's hand, then stood up, her originally gentle face became serious: "Even though Elok is dead, there is still another problem. According to my observations, the current general Mendel has There is an idea of ​​self-reliance. This person is already unreliable."
"Mendel. Self-reliance?" Gris was incredulous. He watched Mendel grow up, he wouldn't be like this, right?
"Father, this is the result of my observation. You need to know that people will change. He is now the number one strong in Lionheart City, and Elu will not have the force to suppress him now and in the future. If you really get a chance in the future, betrayal is not impossible." Wendy said. Then she turned her head to look at Eru and asked, "So, as the new city owner, how do you think this should be handled?"
Elu has already begun to take on the role. Some of the principles that Luo Lin told him on the ocean-going ship of the Goddess of Spring emerged. He pondered for a while and said his opinion: "No, he will not betray, at least for a few years. Yes. During this period of time, I will go to gain the loyalty of the Force Warrior in the castle. Slowly I will marginalize him. At that time, even if he betrays. He will not be able to drive much power when he is on the edge, and I have an excuse, yes. Take the opportunity to gather forces to remove him, and at the same time take this opportunity to reorganize the Lionheart City's army."
"Huh?" Wendylu's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask: "But you don't have enough force to convince the crowd. How do you gain the loyalty of the soldiers?"
"With the surname of my Esjode, with the resources and strength I have as the lord of the city. This is my biggest advantage. I believe that as long as I find the right person and show enough sincerity to treat him, he will definitely Repay me with loyalty, just like Luo Lin and Juta's loyalty." The more he talked, the more straightforward his thoughts and the more confident his expression became. Until the end, he stood upright with his little aunt and smiled calmly: "Auntie, here In this world, the means to gain loyalty is far from being force!"
'Papa' Wendylu slapped her palm, expressing her appreciation: "Elu, you have not seen you in a few years, you are really grown up. A few days ago, Luo Lin told me that you would be an excellent city lord. Believe it, it seems that he was right."
Eru smiled shyly, and reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of his head: "Actually, this is what Luo Lin told me. He said that a leader should know how to use his position and run the general trend to overwhelm others, then even a peerless power. There is no way to fight. I didn’t quite understand it before, but I’ve been thinking about these things these days, but I can taste some taste.

When I said this, everyone in the room reacted differently. Arthas and Terry didn’t feel much, but Wendylu and Gris were both surprised. These words were full of majestic and majestic power, which was not ordinary. What people can say.
"The origin of this Luo Lin is unknown, so you have to look it up carefully." Grismbane said authentically.
Wendylu was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Father, this is not necessary. He has retired to recuperate now, and will not intervene in Lionheart City. Such a character is not a bad thing to maintain a good relationship with him."
"Um~~~ You're right." Gris nodded in agreement, and then said: "Shar, you will take the lead in the matter of Eru ascending to the throne, don't let that Mendel make trouble."
Alsace beside "Father" was startled. He is the eldest son. Shouldn't he do this? From the moment he heard that Elok was killed, he had been predicting that he would be the next general, but according to the current situation, it seemed that the general was about to fall on his sister.
Gris waved his hand: "Don't say it~EbookFREE.me~ Just listen to your sister."
Arthas had to defend himself. Wendylu was impatient. With physical strength, she suddenly turned into a phantom, and arrived in front of Arthas in an instant. He touched his brother's throat with his hand, and then looked like a phantom again. Back to the place, looking at the horrified brother, he smiled and asked: "Mendel's strength is comparable to mine. In the face of such a master, if he turns his face against you, how should you respond?"
"This" Arthas moved his throat and found himself speechless.
"Okay. Elu, while no one is reacting now, let's go to the Lion's Castle!" Wendylu ignored Arthas and turned to look at Elu.
"Okay, little aunt!" Elu nodded happily, and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, if he has his uncle taking the lead, he will have to consider how to place his uncle in the future, because he knows his uncle's character. Once in a high position, his tail will easily rise and problems may arise. But now that the little aunt can come back to help and lead the situation, all these troubles are completely unnecessary.
