Chapter 106: The Baron's Surrender
, Sardine Manor, in the kitchen of the headquarters castle.
Calcifer was wearing a maid outfit specially designed by Lomo, with a lace apron on top.
She was holding a new rolling pin in her hand and was concentrating on rolling a small piece of dough into a disk shape.
This requires certain skills. Beginners cannot control the shape of the dough. Either they roll it out very thin, or they roll it out not round enough.
Luo Mo watched from the side and saw that she had broken several pieces of dough, and finally couldn't help but take action.
He came behind Calcif, passed his hands around her waist, and then placed them on her hands.
"There are two types of rolling dumpling wrappers, one is rolling with both hands; the other is rolling with the right hand, and the left hand is pulling the dumpling wrappers to rotate. As a beginner, rolling with both hands will be easier, the key is to control the strength of both hands evenly" Luo
Mo As he spoke, he took Calcif's hand and taught her how to exert strength.
At first, the teaching was very serious, but after a while, Romo pressed close to Calcifer's body and became a little absent-minded.
Kasif put a blush on her fair cheeks and whispered: "My lord, if you keep rubbing yourself like this, I won't be able to learn properly." As soon as she finished speaking,
a vine suddenly came out of the floor. , the unconscious display of natural magic is obviously a little emotional.
"Okay, okay, I won't do anything anymore!" Luo Mo quickly took a step back and said, "Hurry up and control your emotions, don't let those damn vines be demolished in the kitchen." The two people put away their thoughts
. One taught and the other learned, and they began to concentrate on making dumplings.
"Remember, you have to chop the wild boar meat into minced meat, whether fat or thin. Then add various seasonings and add more oil, so it will taste delicious." Luo Mo taught while reminiscing about the dumplings in his previous life
. smell. There are many seasonings in this world, including vinegar and soy sauce. Unfortunately, the vinegar in this world is a by-product of wine making, and is quite different from the aged vinegar in the previous life.
He was very sorry about this, but because he didn't know how to make mature vinegar and was usually busy, he didn't have the opportunity to develop mature vinegar.
Although dumplings without vinegar have no soul, Luo Mo could only make do with it at this time.
After adjusting the dumpling fillings, Kasif enthusiastically used the chopstick technique Luomo gave her to wrap the dumpling fillings into the dumpling wrappers.
Looking at these crescent-shaped dumplings, Kasif said with an expectant look on her face: "These things look so strange. Will they really be delicious?" "
Of course." Luo Mo nodded affirmatively and said, "You will I fell in love with the taste of these dumplings."
At that moment, the two of them put the dumplings into the pot one by one, and then added water every once in a while. The kitchen was soon steaming with heat.
After adding water three times, and with repeated urging from Kasif, Romo finally took the dumplings out and put them on a plate.
Kasif used a chopstick to poke up the dumpling, and after observing it for a long time, she slowly put it into her mouth.
When I took a bite, I immediately felt the delicious aroma.
Kashif opened her eyes wide, gave Romo a thumbs up, and praised: "Sir, you are really a gastronomic genius. You can think of food in this way." As she said that, she stood up
, He kissed Luo Mo hard on the cheek with his greasy lips.
Kasif had experienced times of famine and had a deep-seated love for food. And I am also very interested in cooking.
Luomo's understanding of food brings her great inspiration and surprise every time.
This made Calcifer truly feel that she and the Lord were a perfect match.
Unfortunately, the natural magic in my body limits the intimacy with the lord, which is really annoying.
Luo Mo tasted a few mouthfuls and praised it again and again. The dumplings actually tasted very unauthentic, but they still reminded him of the taste of his hometown.
"Not bad." Luo Mo nodded.
The two of them were getting happier and happier as they ate, and they were showing off the food in their mouths. At this time, a knight attendant walked into the kitchen and said to Luo Mo: "Sir, Mr. Yale is back from outside and wants to report to you." "I know.
" "Yes." Romo nodded and said to Calcifer: "After you finish eating, pack a few more. Give some to Wade and the others. In addition, give some to the guests in our manor, Mrs. Salome." One day, let her experience the hospitality of our manor."
"Yes, I understand." Calcifer nodded obediently with dumplings in her mouth.
Luo Mo wiped his mouth and strolled to the conference room on the second floor of the castle.
Yale was waiting inside at this time. When he saw Luo Mo coming in, he quickly saluted Luo Mo.
Lomo signaled Yale not to be formal, poured him a glass of wine himself, and placed it in front of him.
Yale quickly bowed, somewhat flattered. What he most admired about the lord was that he never had any airs about him and was very close to his subordinates. But once the Lord becomes angry, it can make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"These days, you have been very effective in planning these things. Thank you for your hard work. Tell me about the plans and results you have implemented in the past two days." Luo Mo said.
Since Viscount Charles, Baron Salome and Baron Pedi were not particularly powerful nobles, in order to train Yale, Lomo gave him a lot of power to act cheaply after making a plan with him.
But I didn't expect that he did an outstanding job and even tricked Mrs. Salome into coming to the manor.
Yale looked very happy after being praised by Lomo, and immediately said: "Sir, with the help of Wade and the others these days, I have controlled all the estates of the three nobles." "Follow the borrowed knife plan you made before
. Together with Vader, I used your newly developed high-level invisibility potion and phantom potion to kill Baron Salome in Charles Manor, and then bribed the traitor Wilson in Charles Manor to set fire to Salome Manor. Now these two All these things have been successfully blamed on Viscount Charles. He couldn't explain clearly even if he had the words." "
Yes." Lomo smiled and said, "You did a good job in this matter. But was it clean and tidy? Nothing left. What traces?"
"No!" Yale shook his head resolutely; "Wilson, as an arsonist, was killed by us on the spot. Mrs. Salome was convinced of this, after all, she received us personally, and also He personally saw us uncover the arsonist. He didn't notice Marlowe setting the fire behind the manor at all." "
Next, just protect Mrs. Salome. When the investigation team from the city hall comes down, she will be treated as a victim. , will bite Viscount Charles to death."
Hearing this, Luo Mo nodded with satisfaction.
For this matter, he used the power of Vader, Marlowe and others. These powers are all his hidden powers, and no one notices them at all.
Now that Salome is dead, Charles is about to find himself in deep trouble. With this murder case, Yale will continue to present his previous crimes in front of the investigation team one by one.
With Viscount Alex in charge of the court in the Volo Valley, Lomo did not think Charles would be able to escape justice this time. However, there is still one person who has not been dealt with now, and that is Baron Pedi.
Thinking of this, Luomo asked: "How to solve Baron Pedi?"
Yale seemed not to have thought clearly, and frowned slightly: "We have investigated Baron Pedi. He does not seem to have any special misdeeds. Moreover, according to the tip , he has been huddled in his manor for the past two days, not seeing anyone, as if he wants to treat himself as an ostrich." "
This is a problem." Romo pondered: "He is the one responsible for the death of Baron Salome. The only witness. His testimony is also very important."
"Don't worry, sir." Yale said: "Based on my observation, Baron Petty is very timid. When I find a chance to go over and threaten him, I won't be afraid of him. Don't obey."
"Well, that's all we have to do." Lomo nodded, approving Yale's handling of the matter.
Luomo's manor is now full of talents, and he will no longer interfere in such trivial matters. It can be used to train the abilities of subordinates.
"Are you still used to doing these darker things these days?" Luo Mo asked.
A heartfelt smile broke out on Yale's face, and he said: "Sir, to be honest, I like doing these things so much. These nobles are usually so high on the top, and it is so happy to be able to play them around like this. For me, , this is more exciting and interesting than on the battlefield."
"That's good." Luo Mo smiled and nodded.
Of the two Louis brothers, the older brother, Yale, is smart and shady. The younger brother Ivan is an honest man. Therefore, Lomo placed one person in the Military Intelligence Bureau and one person in the Military Justice Department.
Now it seems that this arrangement is very suitable.
Yale further said: "Sir, this Mrs. Salome looks quite charming. If you want her to be obedient, I think you should take the initiative and establish an emotional connection with her. This will be safer."
Luo When Mo heard this, he knew that Yale was attracted to Mrs. Salome and came to test his reaction. If you are interested in it, then Yale will have to give up. If you are not interested in it, then Yale will probably get in on its own.
He thought about Lady Salome's face for a moment, and after comparing it to Calcifer, he decided on adult beauty, and said: "I won't come forward in this kind of thing. If you have time, you can come forward in person. "
Yale was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said: "Yes, sir. Then I'll give it a try. If I can trick her into going to bed, I can make her listen to our orders well."
Luo Mo nodded. He does not object to Yale using this approach.
After all, in the Kingdom of Clay, the chaos in the relationship between men and women is beyond Lomo's imagination. It's even common for friends to gift each other the women they've slept with.
Now that her husband is dead, Lady Salome certainly needs comfort. But if she knew that it was Yale who killed her husband, I wonder how she would feel?
While he was lamenting this immoral strategy, the attendant stepped forward and said that a knight from the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to see him.
Lomo waved his hand towards the guard, signaling the knight to come in.
It was the first time for this knight from the Military Intelligence Agency to have close contact with Romo, and he seemed a little nervous and reserved.
He first bowed to Romo, then to Yale, and then said to the two of them: "My lord, according to the sentry we arranged at the Pedi Manor, Baron Pedi suddenly led a seven-man knight squad toward the We are here from Saldin Manor."
"Oh? What is he here for?" Yale couldn't figure it out for a moment: "With a team of seven knights, he can't come to us to fight for his life, right?"
While he was guessing, , another attendant walked into the room and said softly to Romo: "My lord, Baron Pedi is here to visit and wants to see you."
Romo stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let him wait for me in the living room. ."
Yale scratched his head and said: "My lord, maybe it's a conspiracy? Or maybe he also believed that Viscount Charles was the murderer of Baron Salome, so he was afraid and wanted to seek our help?" Romo thought for a moment
. After a moment, he smiled and said: "It should be the latter. I don't believe that Baron Peidi will come up with any conspiracy. Anyway, I will meet him first." At that moment,
Luo Mo took Yale to the living room.
In the living room, a well-dressed man was walking around. His face was panicked, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be in a bad mental state.
This man was Baron Pedi. When he saw Lomo appear, new hope seemed to ignite in his eyes. He walked to Lomo's side in three steps and then bowed first: "I have seen Lord Saldin." ."
This was the first time that Romo was saluted by a nobleman with a title. He was a little surprised for a moment. He personally helped Baron Peidi up and said with a smile: "Lord Baron, you are a baron, how can you greet me, a nobleman without a title? Where do you salute?"
Even so, Luo Mo had no intention of saluting him.
Baron Pedi no longer cared at this time. He said straight to the point: "I heard that Mrs. Salome is in your manor?" "
Yes, her life was threatened by Viscount Charles, so she is temporarily hiding in my manor." Luo. Mo nodded.
"Can I see her?" asked Baron Petty.
Yale's eyes were cold at this time and he said: "Baron Pedi, why do you want to see her? Do you think we are lying, or do you think we have Mrs. Salome under house arrest?" "No, no." Baron Pedi immediately waved his hand and said:
" You misunderstood. I also want to stay here and take shelter in your territory."
"Ah?" Luo Mo was stunned. He thought of many reasons why Baron Pedi came here, but he never thought of Baron Pedi. I actually wanted to come here to avoid trouble.
I saw a look of fear on Baron Pedi's face and said: "Lord Saldin, you don't know that Viscount Charles is crazy. He first killed Baron Salome, and now he comes to my manor to threaten me! I I'm really afraid that he will kill me together in two days." "
I heard that you agreed to Mrs. Salome's request to stay in your manor. Otherwise, you should also agree to my request. As long as you can keep me safe, I I'm willing to do anything. I don't want those mine slaves anymore, and I can even sell the mines to you, as long as you can keep me safe!" When
Luo Mo heard this, he looked at Yale and almost couldn't control his expression.
They never expected that Baron Pedi could be so scared.
Now there is no need to think about how to deal with Baron Pedi, the enemy comes directly to the door.
A smile appeared on Romo's face, he patted Baron Peidi on the shoulder and said gently: "Baron Peidi, you don't have to be afraid. Let him let go of the past. After all, we are neighbors. You can feel at ease these days. Stay in my manor, and my subordinates will be fully responsible for your safety."
Baron Pedi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his hanging heart was finally relieved.
"As for the conditions for providing security, I will let my subordinates mention it to you. But don't worry, we are neighbors after all, and we will never open our mouths." Luo Mo continued.
"Of course, of course. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
Baron Pedi felt that his personal safety was guaranteed, and immediately straightened his chest and became elegant.
