Chapter 217: Coal stone

Falling Eagle City.

Count Uman's study was occupied by another man at this time.

He was sitting in the earl's exclusive position, looking at the documents intently, as if he had become the new owner here.

With a creak, the door opened and Penny, the earl’s lover, walked in.

The man raised his head from the thick file, and it was Mr. Coquettish indeed.

"Is everything arranged?" Mr. Hoodoo looked at Penny and smiled gently.

"En." Penny nodded, walked behind Mr. Xiang, and helped him squeeze her shoulders. "The important assets of the Chamber of Commerce have basically been transferred, and the key personnel will also be evacuated tonight."

Mr. Hood enjoying Penny's massage, closed his eyes comfortably, and reminded him: "Don't transfer too many people, it's easy to cause concern."

"En. I only notified a few managers in the city and some of the managers who have the potential to cultivate. Moreover, they are now strictly controlled by me and will not have any contact with the outside world."

"Okay." Mr. Hou smiled with satisfaction, "Don't you look at this castle one last time? You will only find it in your memory in the future."

Penny smiled dismissively: "What do you miss in such a humble place? I have endured the stingy temper of the Uman family for too long!"

"Haha, where is the Roar of Winter City?"

"It's too monotonous and has no taste."

Mr. Xiang was very happy, and said again: "What about Phoenix Palace?"

"Phoenix Palace is okay." Penny looked reluctantly.

Mr. Coward smiled and shook his head, a little speechless about his sister's ambitions.

He pointed his finger at a document on the desk, and said: "Let someone wrap it up and send it to Bingyan City. This is my wedding gift to Viscount Anglia."

"Okay." Penny nodded, and then surprised again, "If I remember correctly, Viscount Angley's wedding should be tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. It's late, it's better than nothing. It can't be said that our Saint Theon family doesn't understand etiquette."

"Okay." Penny picked up the paperwork on the desk, and after scanning it, she laughed and said, "Are you not afraid to completely anger the Viscount Anglia with such a gift?"

Mr. Xiang also smiled: "No, after tomorrow, he will thank me."

"Ha, that's right. I will arrange for someone to send this gift to Ice Rock City."

"That's right," Mr. Hoodoo stopped Penny, who was about to leave, and asked, "Is Viscount Angele's sister still falling in Eagle City?"

"No, she hurried to Bingyan City as soon as she received the notice of Viscount Angele's wedding. However, in such a hurry, she might not be able to make it to the wedding."

"Well, she is still useful to us, have you sent someone to stare at her?"

"Of course." Penny nodded, then smiled and left the study.

As soon as he left the house, the butler who was guarding outside hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Madam, the Valla Knight has just returned."

"Walla?" Penny frowned. "Isn't he on the front line of the running river? What are you doing here at this time?"

"The Valla Knight was seriously injured in the battle and was arranged by the Lord Earl to come back to recuperate."

"Okay, I see." Penny answered casually.

As the "mother" of Valra Knight, she did not even ask Valra's injury in detail, and it seemed that she had no plans to visit.

—————

At the gate of the castle, the Valla Knight got out of the carriage with the help of his retinue.

"Knight Valla? It's really you? What's wrong with you?"

As soon as he walked a few steps, the Valla Knight heard an exclamation sound from behind him.

Looking back, I saw a fat man full of fat rushing towards him.

Varla recognized that it was Oliver, a steward of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

Oliver panted and ran up to Varla and greeted him in an exaggerated tone: "Knight, are you injured? Ah, this is too bad! Please allow me to send you back to your room to rest."

With that, the fat businessman approached Varla, pulled his arm over his shoulder, and wrapped his fat arm around Varla's waist.

For Oliver's overly enthusiastic help, Varla did not stop it.

Although he was not familiar with the manager of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce at all, he knew that Oliver's brother was in Ice Rock City at this time and had already been instigated by Colin.

Therefore, Walra thought Oliver should be the person Colin sent to connect with him.

"Mr. Oliver, you are too kind."

After a few words of courtesy, Varla signaled his resignation to leave, and walked into the castle with Oliver's help.

Entering the room, closing the door, Walra sat down by the bed, preparing to test whether this Oliver was really sent by Colin.

But before he could speak, Oliver first said: "Knight Valla, I think something big will happen to Falling Eagle City!"

Varla's expression moved, obviously he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, but looking at Oliver's worried eyes, he still patiently asked, "What did you find?"

Oliver hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Lord Knight, after you and Lord Earl set off, Ms. Penny began to secretly transfer the assets of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, and all the duties of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, including me, were strictly monitored!

Just now, Ms. Penny summoned us and said that we must evacuate from Falling Eagle City tonight! Moreover, we are not allowed to go home, let alone notify anyone of this news!

Therefore, I suspect that something big will happen here! "

Varla frowned, obviously aware of something wrong, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "What else did Penny do abnormally during this period of time?"

Oliver nodded repeatedly, lowered his voice and said, "My lord Knight, you should also know that since the beginning of the year, Ms. Penny has been presiding over the repair and reinforcement of Fallen Eagle City, right?

Most of the building materials used in this renovation project were purchased through the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. However, I noticed that the purchase price of these building materials is very wrong! "

"Why is something wrong?"

"There is a material, the name is broken bluestone, but the price is 5 copper coins per pound!"

Seeing Varla's face at a loss, Oliver knew that he was not sensitive to the price of this stone, and quickly explained: "Master Knight, this is already more than thirty times the normal price of broken bluestone!"

Walla just remembered, and the first reaction was, could someone take this opportunity to make money?

But then he denied this speculation. If uukanshu.com were to make money, it would certainly not be so obvious. It only increased the price of crushed bluestone, and it was mentioned so harshly that it could be seen through at a glance.

"What do you think is going on?" Varla asked humbly.

Oliver rubbed his hands nervously, and whispered: "I suspect that it is not broken bluestone at all!"

"what is that?"

Oliver's tone trembled: "I have been to a construction site and saw that the palms of the slaves at work were all dark. Therefore, I suspect that the ones used to fill the gaps between the limestones are not broken bluestone at all, and Yes-

Coal stone! "

"Coal stone?" Varla's brows were twisted together. "Isn't the coal stone used to make fire and forge weapons? Why do you buy so much coal when you repair the Eagle City..."

Speaking of this, he was stunned.

Because a terrible thought flashed through his mind like lightning, making him tremble all over.
