Chapter 144: The Crisis caused by the Fire Roar Beast
"Stop?" Baron Don shook his head: "Why should I stop?"
"You know Howard is going to be bad for Belle..."
"For me, only you and your mother in the world deserve me attention. I don't care about the rest." Baron Don said lazily: "Don't you understand why I have waited until now to tell you these things? I have been waiting for your wings to grow hard and to sharpen your teeth. If you consider this and that reason, Howard will come back swagger, today, you won't hear anything."
Sophia looked at Baron Don with a shocked look. She didn't like this indifference.
"Let's go, it's time to have lunch." Baron Don stood up: "Then... we can also talk about some relaxing topics."
Lunch was arranged in the small restaurant behind the study. The facilities in the restaurant were already very old, but spotless. Every decoration here was exquisite. It can be seen that it was carefully designed. Even the dining cloth on the table was hand-woven, and it was dotted with a few elegant flowers. There was no trace of luxury in the whole room, only the warmth revealed in simplicity.
As soon as Sophia entered the restaurant, she was stunned and her eyes were on a portrait hanging on the wall. Dio followed Sophia's gaze and saw a gentle woman with a gentle face. The painting should have been written by a master. In just a few strokes, the charm of the person in the painting was conveyed. The woman's expression was a little slouching, as if sitting there for someone to paint was a very shy thing for her.
Tang En noticed Sophia's gaze, his eyes dimmed, and then smiled and said to the two of them, "Sit down, except me, no one has been here for a long time."
"This is..." Sophia looked at Donn.
"When your mother was still there, we often hid here to eat something. Haha, your mother couldn't get used to the cooks. She always liked to do everything by herself, but her cooking skills were excellent. Anyone who had tasted them would praise me. I have gained my appetite over the years." Tang En said, looking at the painting on the wall, with a look of remembrance in her eyes, as if she had been in the scene of that year.
At this time, the waiter had already served the dishes. There were not many kinds, but they were just some common side dishes. However, the tempting aroma made Dio feel excited when he smelled it.
"Come here to try it. This chef has learned a few skills from your mother before. Although he can't make her taste, it's still OK." Tang En greeted.
Sofia reluctantly took her eyes off the portrait and walked to Dio to sit down. By this moment, Sofia had actually forgiven Tang En from her heart. In Tang En's position, there were many things that he could not control. He was able to send Sofia out of the baron. I believe that Tang En had made considerable efforts.
"What are your plans in the future?" Tangen asked Sophia during the meal. Dio noticed that Tangen ate very little, and his eyes were mostly on Sophia.
After thinking about it, Sophia said, "I still want to deal with the armed caravan first." If you want to develop, you must have money.
Tang En nodded, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It's good that way. I will go to the Earl's Correspond in a few days. Leave it to me. There should be no problem."
Just as Sophia was about to agree, she suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "You should not go to the count to collect it these days."
"Why?" Tang En was a little stunned.
"The Count's daughter is dead, I'm afraid she won't be in a good mood, and it won't be of any use if you go." Sofia explained.
"His daughter? Jenlin?" After getting Sophia's confirmation, Tang En's face became serious: "What the hell is going on? Even I didn't get news here. How did you know?"
Sophia briefly told the story of what happened in the desert. Tang En listened silently. When he heard that Mir died at Dio's hands, Tang En could no longer help it and looked at Dio in shock: "You killed an extreme warrior?!"
Dio smiled: "He trusted his strength too much. If he could be more cautious, I would probably have no chance."
Tang En sat there, unable to speak for a long time. As a shiny warrior, he naturally knew very well what an extreme warrior meant. Things would never be as easy as Dio said. However, Tang En did not continue to ask, the stronger Dio's strength, the better, so that he could better protect Sophia. In the past, Tang En actually disagreed with Sophia's intention to marry Dio. He didn't care, just because he believed that Sophia would not entrust her life to an idiot for no reason, and it was just a verbal promise, and there was no formal engagement ceremony. He wanted to wait. If Sophia wanted to hold a wedding immediately, he would not agree to anything he said.
After a long time, Tang En came to his senses and looked at Sophia: "Where is that Fire Roaring Beast now?"
"It's still in my estate, and I've left most of the warriors there," Sofia replied.
Tang En fell silent, after a long time, sighed and said, "You should kill all the Count and those warriors."
"What?" Sophia couldn't believe her ears. How could her father say such cruel words? Although she had killed people, the enemies who had already had a substantial threat to her were all fighting. And what Baron Don said was a poisonous attack, which was completely different.
Dio's face turned solemn, and he vaguely guessed why Tang En said this. In fact, if Dio knew the value of the Fire Roar Beast at that time, he would have taken action without hesitation. But he thought the Fire Roar Beast was just a mount useful to Geton, so he didn't think too much, and later he realized it was too late.
"Don't you know what the Fire Roar Beast means to a fire warrior?" Tang En said sternly: "Even if Zhenlin is not dead, as long as Louis knows that the Fire Roar Beast falls into your hands, he will sooner or later attack you."
"But..." Sophia wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dio: "Let's hear your father's opinion first, maybe we are really careless."
Tang En glanced at Dio with approval and continued: "Luius has been in the stage of the extreme warrior for a long time. With his age, it is impossible to make any breakthroughs. But if he has a Fire Roar Beast, it means a turning point. Although the hope is not very great, he still has the opportunity to become a Martial Master. Nothing for anything else, but just to extend his lifespan, it is worth him to use any means to get this Fire Roar Beast into his hands."
"Since that's the case, why doesn't Feders not..." Dio looked at Sophia, wondering why Feders didn't take the Fire Roar Beast for himself, but Dio couldn't say it. After all, Feders has been protecting people like him for a while. If Feders hadn't, it would be hard to say what would be like now.
"I've talked with Feders." Sophia knew what Dio wanted to say and said, "Feders said he was already at the peak of the extreme warrior, and the Fire Roar Beast did not have much effect on him, so there was no need to fight with Gordon."
Dio couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Sophia was still more careful. Why didn't he expect that Feders was also a fire warrior? At that time, if Feders spoke, then no one could refuse, because no one could deny that the Fire Roar Beast could exert greater power in Feders' hands.
In this case, no matter what action Count Louis makes, Jenlin's death seems not so important in comparison, but instead provides a great excuse for Count Louis.
"Don't go back to the manor during this period, live with me." Tang En said slowly after thinking about it.
Dio and Sophia looked at each other and said in unison: "No!"
"You don't listen to my words?" Tang En said sternly.
Sophia was speechless, her eyes were a little wet. Tang En said this, obviously she wanted to take over the matter, but he was just a shiny warrior. Once a conflict broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even though he knew that his opponent was Count Louis, Tang En was still able to make such a decision without hesitation. Sophia did not expect that when she recalled the past, Sophia became more and more self-blame, and at the same time made up her mind that she could not drag her father into this matter.
"I know you are worried about us." Dio's thoughts were the same as Sophia. It was unreasonable for them to cause trouble, but he wanted to let Tang Enlai bear the consequences. He said sincerely: "But have you ever thought that after we return to the manor, the space will be larger. Even if it doesn't work, we can leave there at any time. We may not be as good as Louis than our strength, but it is not so easy for him to catch us."
Tang En pondered for a while and flatly rejected Dio's proposal: "No, you can mobilize too few resources. As long as you are in my Baron's Mansion, he will not dare to do anything randomly. After all, he must consider the opinions of others."
"As you said, since the Fire Roaring Beast is something that Louis is determined to win, I am afraid that even if we hide here, we will not change anything, right?"
Tang En was stunned, then looked at Dio angrily: "What? It's time, do you still want to keep that fire roar beast? Young man, the road ahead is still long, don't be blinded by the interests in front of you. Yes, the fire roar beast has a great effect on you, but have you ever thought about it? Once your life is gone, what's the use of the fire roar beast to you?"
Dio didn't say anything, and Baron Don was used to compromise, so he decided to hand over the Fire Roar Beast. It was not surprising, but he couldn't accept it.
