Hotel on the mountain

At dinner time, in the quiet atrium garden, at a birdcage booth surrounded by hedges, Jetro was already waiting here.

At the corner at the end of the path, Feifei Bird's long legs stepped out. Compared to the straight skirt she wore when she first visited the Alpine Hotel, this blue and white dress now makes her look even more high-end and luxurious. A lot.

This was not a very formal dinner. The servants had already arranged the food on the table so as not to disturb the adults' conversation. Feifei stretched out her slender fingers wearing white gloves, picked up a small glass of wine and took a sip, indicating that she was already seated.

It looked like a family gathering as Jetro cut the meat on her plate for the former.

"I wonder if you have tried this kind of 'chest oil' from the Barbarian Jaw Dragon when you came here last time. It is crispy, tender and refreshing." Yetro wanted to take it step by step.

Miss Feifei's red lips curled up and she said bluntly: "I thought you would get straight to the point. Why don't you just say it straight, Jetro, I want to see Bisnas first."

Bisnas, the clown character who only appeared briefly, claimed to be Miss Feifei's lover.

Jetro looked at Feifei's bright big eyes with sharp light, stood up and walked to the pillar of the birdcage booth, and pulled a thin string with a mallet hanging on the pillar. The terminal was a bell at the big tree bar. As soon as the bell rang, the big businessman Albofei, who had been waiting for a long time, walked into the booth area where Jetro was with the already ashen-faced Bisnas.

After they came in from the corner of the path, they stood a few steps away from the birdcage booth, bowed and stopped moving. Albofly still had the same fat figure, with the unruly short nose of the aircraft standing straight above his head, but his attitude was very humble, and he always stood silently with his head lowered.

Bisnas, who had already changed into plain clothes, had a fluffy and messy colorful hairstyle, and was crying on his soft face. He knelt on the ground and cried to Miss Feifei on the spot, describing what had happened in the past few months. It was a tragic experience. He wanted to crawl to Feifei's feet, but was kicked off the stage by Feifei. In the end, he cowered aside in shock and did not dare to move.

Seeing this scene, Jetro poured Feifei a glass of wine and said, "I think our meeting should be about talking about bigger things instead of these small things, so I don't want them to show up so soon. ”

Feifei was wearing a pure white coat that she didn't take off. Her wavy blond hair grew to her neck. She reached out and picked up a table knife from the dining table, rubbing the lines on the knife with her fingers. Her voice was light and crisp - "You locked up my people for a businessman. This is not right." Little things.”

Jetro also poured himself a glass of wine, sat down and said: "Four years ago, Duke Thor Bird went deep into the southern desert and disappeared mysteriously. There is no news yet. Your brother Moore Bird - the legal representative of the family Heir, but you don't want to take on family obligations at all, so as the eldest daughter of the Byrd family, you have to take on the responsibility of disciplining the family.

It must have been very hard these years, right? "

Feifei Mo's hand holding the blade suddenly paused, and she looked up at Yetro without speaking.

Jetro put his hands on the edge of the table, politely admired Feifei's face, then moved his gaze downwards, and continued: "You have huge industries in the south, and due to geographical reasons, your city defense and military expenditures are The expenditure is pitiful, and the northern coastal environment makes your sea trade very developed, which makes the Byrd family very rich.

Therefore, even if your father disappears, even if you have to maintain a lot of castles and estates, maintain decent expenses, and pay huge taxes to the king, you will not bring down the family.

Then I don't understand, why do you want Albofer's industry? "

Feifei Bird's red lips curled up again. She rested her chin with one hand and dragged the knife on the plate with one hand.

Jetro stretched out his finger and pointed at Bisnas, who was shivering in the corner. He smiled and said: "In the past few months, with this question in mind, I asked my subordinates to give a good greeting to this man named The lovely young man from Bisnath learned something from him - about you."

"Say." She smiled, but also indifferently.

"Just like when I was in urgent need of a sum of gold and silver to save a life a few months ago, you were also in the same situation." Yetro looked into Feifei's eyes and said -

"You actually went to the 'Pandora Conference', the world's top 'gambling banquet', and lost a lot of money.

But it doesn't matter. After all, your Byrd family can afford to lose. But what is lamentable is that the 'Pandora Conference' was held in the Zhongslan District of the Great Chik Empire, where gold and silver were circulated, and your Byrd family, All his business was in the southern part of the empire, and he only had a large amount of Hebrew gold dollars in his hands. "

The movement of Feifei's hand stopped, she avoided Yetro's sight, sighed, put down the knife, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then leaned back and said: "Hebrew The empire does not allow big nobles to appear in neighboring countries during non-war and foreign visits, but I am too curious. Unlike my brother, he has lost interest in everything. Instead, I am looking for more excitement."

"I know, after all, you were born with nothing lacking." Jetro stood up and poured another drink for Feifei.

Feifei picked up the wine glass and took another sip, and continued: "The people in Zhongslan District are threatening me with evidence that I appeared in the Great Chik Empire. I have to collect enough money to transport it as soon as possible. It doesn't matter in the first place, I just want to Just sell a few manors on the border of the empire and ask the people there to help exchange them for gold and silver. But they are too hard, and they actually say that they will double the price if they exceed the time limit, but they can buy it with gold and silver in a short time. How can there be so many people in the manor?”

"So you are eyeing Albophy's industry?"

Albophy stood a few steps away and listened, saying nothing.

Feifei shook her head and said: "No, I just need to write a letter to your Raya family or the Duke of the North to borrow a sum of money, and then use the excess gold dollars to pay off the debt. I plan to do the same, But……"

Feifei Bird turned and pointed at Albo Fei, "The problem lies with his daughter. Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but his daughter is a woman with a very powerful psychic talent. Moreover, she has a clean background and looks good. Not bad, it meets the criteria I set for my brother in choosing a mate.”

Jetro frowned, not knowing how to respond, waiting for Feifei's explanation.

Feifei picked up the table knife and stood up. Her long blue and white skirt set off her curved figure. The white coat draped over her body and swayed gently. She walked down the steps of the booth.

"Yetro, you have no psychic ability, and my psychic talent is - mediocre. Believe me, I hate this word, but my psychic ability is mediocre." Feifei walked on the edge of the light and turned Looking over, her cheeks were a little thin, "But my brother, his psychic talent is really too powerful, he is so powerful -"

Feifei paused, looked up slightly at the night, waved her hands helplessly, and added the following words

"He is too powerful to bear offspring."

Jetro turned around and tried to digest the information.

Feifei flipped the table knife with her fingers, walked to the side of Bisnas, and continued to explain: "Since my father disappeared, the family has to consider the next generation. I am a woman and have no inheritance rights. My brother has no ambition. That one I can put my hope in offspring, but the famous doctors in my family who diagnosed him all said that only women with equally strong psychic abilities would have a chance to have offspring with him. This is really ironic."

With a "pop" sound, the sound of the knife inserting into the muscle was heard. After this slight sound, there was the hoarse sound of Bisnas pressing his neck and struggling to breathe for help.

Feifei's hand left the bloody knife handle and wiped it on the white coat, then threw the pure white blood-stained coat on Bisnas' face. She walked back to the booth and drank her drink.

At this time, Feifei smiled, and Jetro had to admit that a woman with such a look and temperament looked good when she smiled.

Jetro asked: "Then don't you consider the women in the spirit gathering? All of them have powerful talents."

Feifei took a sip of her drink, which made her cheeks start to turn slightly red: "I'm just kidding, the Byrd family just wants to stay peacefully in the south and enjoy happiness. If His Majesty knows that there are spirits in the family, our good life will be ruined. It's over."

She pointed at Albophe again, "You can't meet women with strong psychic talents, clean backgrounds, and good looks everywhere. So I took his daughter away in order to prevent the outside world from guessing about my brother's body. In this case, I will take his property by the way."

Arbophy still stood there, like a statue.

Jetro thought about it for a while and said, "Then did you bring his daughter?"

Feifei put down the wine glass, picked up the knife and fork, and began to eat the sliced ​​white squid breast oil on the plate. She chewed and swallowed it and said: "Of course, I dressed her as a servant and locked her in my room. She is lucky. My brother has no interest in her at all. The doctor in the family said, 'Without interest, there will be no offspring.'"

Jetro looked at Albo Fei, who was a few steps away, and the latter's body trembled obviously.

He turned back and saw Feifei pressing her body to the edge of the table, leaning her head forward, and shouted with a smile: "But!"

"Jetro." Feifei muttered the name softly, stood up a little, leaned forward, and came closer to say, "What can you give me?"

Jetro sat upright, facing the former's breath that hit his face, and felt that in this smell, Feifei's delicate eyebrows were full of charming charm, but Jetro lowered his head, raised his eyes again, and smiled. Looking at Feifei, she responded seriously:

"I can give you - war."
