Chapter 77 Temptation

Ashu Rufate sat in his study, writing hard.

He is not writing a letter, but writing an analysis book, or applying a military term, writing a strategic plan.

If the goal is to seize the estate, then the measures adopted are nothing more than three types: violence, debt or case.

Violence is the simplest and most dangerous. Hiring a group of robbers, assassins or something can be done. As long as the two sisters can be killed, the manor will immediately become a homeless thing and will be managed by the government before the heir appears. Griffin is a big family, and finding a member with inheritance but depressed member in the Griffin family is not a particularly difficult thing. In fact, there is no need for such a member at all, and it can be handled during the government custody period.

But this simple and rough approach will inevitably cause sequelae. First of all, the murder will not be successful, and the murderer who performed this mission may be arrested. In addition, the enemy already knows the true strength of the two sisters - perhaps not very well-knowing, but at least they already know that Xingke can easily defeat Io. In addition, the most critical thing must be a secret. Seizing the manor is not the ultimate goal, but serves greater interests, so it cannot attract unnecessary attention. The ideal situation is the "wandering robbers' night attack", killing all the people without doing anything, destroying corpses and then pretending to injure people with money.

But now, the two sisters have lived in a castle. It is indeed a livable castle, not a military building. But the castle is a castle after all. Without the help of siege equipment, it is difficult for attackers to attack the castle, especially it is difficult to ensure that the people inside do not escape. If they fail to succeed, it is equivalent to alerting the snake.

The second option is debt. Let the two sisters owe the debt they cannot pay, and then come to collect the debt with confidence and openly, so as to use the manor as their legal income. But to be honest, this method is difficult to get started because the two sisters are not poor people, but squire and nobles with a little wealth. If they want to make them owe debts, they either tempt them to gambling and owe to usury gambling debts, or they ask them to come forward to guarantee a deal that is destined to lose money or hopeless tyrants. But the two sisters do not gamble (after all, gambling is always a taboo for women), and they do not have that kind of relative who is dragging their backs - in fact, they have an aunt who is quite strong in property and political connections and has a strong energy.

The last option is a legal dispute. The previous incident of Io was the best interpretation of this method. This is also the best choice. Unfortunately, they had miscalculated the situation before and thought that a price of 10,000 gold Oli could be done by offering this. If they had just used a quick knife to cut the mess and let Io instead of the two sisters pay, things might not have developed like this at all.

Ashu Rufate put down his pen and read the things he wrote in his hand carefully. Perhaps the lord named Byron in the capital is indeed powerful and powerful, and his hands are hot. But he will never be without enemies. His secret plan itself is destined to be exposed - this is actually destroying the country's economic lifeline and nourishing itself. If such a thing is exposed, the consequences can be imagined. Secret, safe, and without leaving any troubles is the correct way to deal with things.

However, it is also necessary to consider the specific person in charge of those matters. The castle can effectively block those "bandits who have made temporary intentions", but it is also very dangerous to find any professional assassin to assassinate or something.

Ashu Rufate picked up the agreement from the table. It was a guarantee document signed by Xingke, which was guaranteed by the Oroq Chamber of Commerce.

A small chamber of commerce with good business conditions, a chamber of commerce that provides shareholders with large profits every year, will actually be withdrawn by major shareholders. If it is one of them, it can naturally be explained as urgently needed money. However, many people withdraw their shares...it is very suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Is this the battlefield chosen by the other party? Is this just a light guarantee letter in my hand, but it is actually a silent battlefield that determines the outcome of the battle.

Hee...I really don't know what kind of formation it will be.

Although I figured out this matter, Ashu Rufate felt that he had no worries in his heart, only the eagerness to meet the challenge.

He folded the few things in his hand and hid them in a thick book, and then placed them on the upper floor of the bookshelf by the table. When he bought the Knights Dell's castle, he also bought almost everything left in the castle, such as the wine in the wine cellar, and so many books in the study. Like most squire and nobles, although Knight Dell didn't look like a reading person, he still collected a considerable number of books. Ashu Rufate had had time to sit there to read.

There are many types of books, and not all of them are written in common languages. Ashu Rufate found that he must have read many books, at least he is familiar with a variety of words and languages. Of course, this is not surprising. For a magician, language and words can only be said to be the foundation of the foundation.

"Ashu Rufat, are you ready?" Xingjian's voice came from outside. A few seconds later, she came to the study. At this time, she had already put on her outfit. She was dressed up in a mix of white and pink dresses, and she combed her slightly blue silver hair into a long braid.

"Is it still early?" Ashu Rufat looked out the window. "But I'm ready, too."

"The afternoon dance party is right now, now is the time to go." Xingjian said. "It's time for us to leave."

There is actually no clear time sign for the summer dance party. There is no specific day. Before this day, everyone was preparing for the dance party, and after this day, the dance parties at various squire's houses began one after another. In fact, as the temperature rose, dance parties began naturally.

This time is the first time the two sisters have received an invitation to a dance party this year. This invitation was actually transferred by the "rumor spreader", the famous local long-tongued widow, Ais. Although men may look down on such noisy women, in fact, she is not a bad person, at least she has never been bad among women. Having said that, "rumor spreader" like her is always very popular among women because she can hear a lot of new news. After all, most news in this world is word of mouth.

"This invitation is the female president! She built this chamber of commerce with her own abilities. She is a girl with excellent abilities," this is Ess' evaluation. Among the squire and nobles, the theory of bloodline is not popular (mainly because a large number of them have no special bloodline). So a woman who became the head of the chamber of commerce at a young age - it should be said that this gimmick alone is very attractive. "This time I also want to enter the social circle of the city and expand the market for her business. That's it, but getting this invitation is not easy, everyone who comes to the city's celebrities."

Ais was boasting vigorously for the mysterious hostess at that time.

"How is the basement?" Ashu Rufate asked while putting on his coat.

"It's not OK, it's too dangerous." Xingjian hesitated for a moment, "The maid who came to clean today almost approached the basement... I think this is still very dangerous. Although it can lock the basement door, it cannot prevent others from approaching the basement. Some people are born with a sharp sense of magic energy and may detect the black magic energy gathered inside."

"So, we can only do everything in life and daily life?" Asu Ruffat asked. "The owner's living area and servant's living area of ​​the castle are separated. As long as the servants do not enter this area, there should be no problem. If guests are invited to come, the accumulated black magic energy can be released in advance."

"It's all we can do..." Xingjian hesitated for a moment and replied. "But I'm worried that this will cause it..."

"It is better to suspect that we have quirks than to be discovered by others." Ash Rufate replied. He never made an opinion on asking the two sisters to give up on the study of black magic, because he knew that the study of magic has become an important part of the lives of the two sisters, and it can even be said to be the meaning of their existence.

They walked out the door and the carriage was ready outside, and Xingke had already been waiting impatiently in the carriage. Ashu Rufate's horse was also waiting.

This dance is the first dance party held in the city this year. The dance party is located in a mansion in the city - which was once the residence of an official, but in the end it somehow became a house for rent. By the standards of Brassian City, the mansion is already quite large and luxurious. There is a large living room and a pretty good garden - the garden and even a glass greenhouse with various fruits planted in it.

Xingjian was right. They were almost the last group of arrival visitors. When they had just arrived, they had heard the band playing before they got off the carriage. The music was no longer a welcome song, but a formal dance song. On the dance floor, several male and female guests who liked to show off or were interested in each other were dancing there.

Ais was already there, and there were already a group of women who were listening to the news around her. This woman would never have enough topics to talk about. According to the habits at the dance, both men and women got along separately, so soon Xingke and Xingjian joined Ais's circle.

Ashu Rufate soon discovered that there were not many faces he knew at the dance. At this moment, most of the guests were still watching the performances of the dancers, so he was happy to enjoy this short leisure. When he was about to find a pastime for himself, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Sir Ashu Rufat?"

Ashu Rufate turned his head and saw a strange but very beautiful woman. He was sure that he had never seen him before, so he bowed politely.

"Miss, may I ask you..."

"My name is An." The strange woman covered her hand and smiled. "Mr. Horse Racing Champion, you may not notice me, but that time you were so eye-catching that people couldn't help but not recognize you."

She moved her steps gently and approached Ash Rufate. Her soft black hair spilled from her shoulders, highlighting the fairness and smoothness of her neck and shoulder skin. Her collar was very low, revealing a small and half-full chest that seemed to break free from the constraints of her clothes.
