Extras: Dark Legend No. 3 - The Great Conspiracy No. 4
Cohen Keda was sitting at the dining table. He was worried and felt that he was in big trouble. There was no doubt that Miss Dill Merlin was a very beautiful girl, especially when she was angry, her eyes were bulging and her lines were
The almost perfect lips, the slightly pointed chin, and her fair and delicate skin... all made him unable to control himself.
"No man can refuse to possess such a woman! Not to mention that I am such a possessive person." He said to himself, but Cohen Keda was unwilling to do it in a rude way, and he was unwilling.
Seeing Dill Merlin in evening dress slowly walking into the restaurant with great grace, Cohen Keda's heart was beating wildly. He understood that this was a war, either both sides would suffer, or everyone would be happy.
, there will never be a situation where one side wins.
He calmly pointed to the chair next to him and asked Dill Merlin to sit next to him.
Miss Dill Merlin, no, she is now Mrs. Dill Merlin. She gently gathered the skirt of her dress with her hands and sat down slowly.
"What's for dinner today?" Dill Merlin asked casually. She had already thought about it. Although she was forced to marry him, she could treat this guy the same way she used to deal with those playboys. First
Let him fall madly in love with you, and then trample him under your feet... In many cases, a cold face is more hurtful than a blade, and you will never let this guy touch you, even with just one finger.
head.
"Fish!" Cohen Keda seemed not to notice the gorgeous face and answered her bluntly: "There are also prawns."
"Prawn?" She thought for a moment, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "That one should be called shrimp!"
"I like it, I'll call that prawn!"
Dil Merlin nearly choked on his aperitif, what an impenitent vulgar creature!
"Whatever you want, but don't expect me to yell like that after you!" She raised her head and said to her husband. The sapphire earrings dangled, and the light shone directly on Cohen Keda's heart.
"Eat it!"
Cohen Keda began to concentrate on using the knife and fork to deal with the "prawns" on his plate, which made Dill Merin a little discouraged, as if he didn't take his own beauty seriously at all.
"I must let him focus on me! Only in this way can I hit him hard!" Dill Merlin secretly made up her mind that she would ruthlessly retaliate against this guy for his rude behavior towards her.
At this time, a warrior came in with a book. He was also very young, and it seemed that this large group of people were all young.
"Boss! This is the cargo we want to transport next time..."
"Read!" Cohen Keda didn't even raise his head.
"Yes! Fifty pieces of fine cloth, three hundred fine wines, fine..."
When Dill Merlin heard this, he laughed out loud.
"What's so funny about this!" Her husband stared at her.
"You just smuggle these things?" She said arrogantly: "What a waste of manpower..."
"I know you are also half a businessman." Cohen Keda said: "But you don't understand what smuggling is, so you'd better stop expressing your opinions!"
"If it were me, I would load spices on the boat. Do you know what spices are?" She said casually: "Cinnamon, star anise, cloves... But I don't think you understand how profitable these things are."
Cohen Keda slapped his palm on the dining table and stood up.
"You have to be clear about your current identity! You are just one of my many wives now!" He approached her body, as if he wanted to eat someone: "And I am your husband! After you finish eating, go back to the room,
After taking a shower, wait for me in bed!"
After saying that, Cohen Keda walked out of the restaurant angrily.
"Don't you dare touch my side!" Dill Merlin threw the napkin on the table and left.
As soon as Cohen Keda walked out of the restaurant, he immediately grabbed the pen from Marfa's hand and wrote something down on the paper.
"Genius, what a genius! Cinnamon... star anise... clove..." He raised his head and asked Mafa: "What else did she say?"
"Ah! I didn't pay attention..." Mafa shook her head.
"I will quarrel with her next time." Cohen Keda said: "You must remember it word for word! This is all money! This time the goods will be done according to her instructions..."
Dill Merlin walked into the room, changed out of his evening dress as quickly as possible, put on a sturdy-looking casual dress, connected three belts, and inserted the black iron dagger into his lower waist. After thinking about it,
He took off the dagger and held it in his hand.
Close the door and put a chair next to the door, so that there will be a noise when he comes in!
Dill Merlin finally prepared everything, sat on a chair in the corner, stared at the door, and pulled out the black iron dagger, but he didn't know whether the dagger should be pointed at his husband or himself when he came in.
"Okay, I'll point the dagger at him! I'm just scaring him... I won't stab him." She said: "I knew there would be a day when this guy would come hard, I, I
We must not let him succeed!"
Abu looked at her curiously, jumped on her lap, and kept shouting.
"Okay Abu, what should I do?" Dil Merin put down the dagger and picked up Abu: "That guy is coming soon... What should I do? Why don't I make myself look ugly? Oh my god.
,My beauty made that guy lose his mind..."
Cohen Keda stood on the tower of the old castle. From this angle, he could see everything in his wife's room. With Abu here, he knew everything that happened in the room.
"Actually, she's not that bad..." Seeing Dil Merlin pick up Abu, his intuition told him that this girl might not have a bad heart...
In the early morning, Dill Merin woke up to the sound of Abu's cry. He found that he had slept on the chair all night, and his body had become hard. When he saw her waking up, Abu was turning somersaults on the bed.
"Good morning, Abu..." She stood up and opened the door, wondering why it was so quiet all night. Her annoying husband did not enter her room, which even made her who was ready to fight a little regretful.
"This must be his trick! Let me relax my guard first, and I must not slack off!" She said to herself, changed her clothes and walked downstairs.
"Good morning, madam!" Lily said to her.
"Good morning." Dill Merlin said to Lily with a smile: "Where is that annoying guy?"
"Master, he has guests in the garden!"
Guest? Does this guy have any friends? Dill Merlin decided to go and see who he was.
Passing through the hall, she came to the garden filled with fresh air, and saw Cohen Keda and a man talking arm in arm. Looking at the mouth shape of the guest, he kept saying "yes, yes".
"Okay, that's all, go ahead!"
When she got closer, she heard her husband say: What kind of guest is this? He is clearly talking to his subordinates!
"Hello, madam!" When the guest passed by her, he stood up straight and greeted her, a standard military gesture.
"Hello." Dill Merlin returned the greeting. Although he didn't know who he was, he still didn't want to be rude in front of others.
Watching the guests disappear through the door, Dill Merlin turned to look at her husband and asked suspiciously: "Who is he? Why are there so many soldiers accompanying him?"
"Is it weird?" The husband looked at her and said, "He is the new Lord of Wanpu City, his name is Colter, and he was once the adjutant of the Dark Governor."
"When did Wanpu have a city lord?"
"yesterday."
"The city lord came to see you on the second day after taking office?"
"Not convinced? Not only are he and I friends, but we also have business contacts..."
"I understand! He is the lord of the city and you are smuggling... no wonder you have such courage!" For the first time, she felt that her husband was not very stupid.
"Not only is it smuggling, I also open a brothel and a shop." The husband said, "As long as it makes money, I will do it."
"Why do you need so much money?" She asked in confusion: "Isn't smuggling enough?"
"It's not enough, because I'm always short of money to spend..." The husband said, "I have a lot of expenses."
"Yes, you are willing to buy three pieces of clothing for fifteen gold coins."
"Hehe..." The husband said with a smile: "Do you think you have made a profit? Forget it, I am in a good mood this morning, I don't want to make a noise." Seeing her husband walking into the hall with a smile, Dill Merlin felt very suffocated.
It was the first time that he refused to quarrel with her. Well, if there was no quarrel, then there would be no quarrel. She blinked her eyes, and her whole person instantly became innocent and flawless, and she walked towards the hall full of energy.
"I don't believe you are not tempted!" she thought, and in fact it was true. Almost all men were no match for her eyes, and they were even willing to break away from their religious beliefs just to ask her to look at them again.
As soon as she entered the hall, Lily hurriedly ran past her holding a pot of flowers and plants with yellow leaves.
"Master! Look, what's wrong with this flower?" Lily put the flower on the table next to Cohen Keda and said eagerly: "When I got to the garden today, this potted flower looked like this."
"This pot of flowers is no longer good, throw it away!" Cohen Keda looked at the flowers in front of him.
"Master! Please save it!" Lily said eagerly: "This is Lily's favorite."
Cohen Keda touched Lily's head and smiled slightly.
"Okay." He said, "I'll give it a try!"
Cohen Keda lowered his head slightly, with a focused expression, and slowly placed the palm of his right hand on top of the pot of flowers... Without chanting, a trace of pale white light bands fell from his palm, and the light bands became more and more, gradually turning into a
A small ball of light enveloped the entire flower.
Slowly, one leaf of the flower and plant recovered from the dead yellow, the leaf stood upright, and slowly turned green, and then another leaf... When all the leaves seemed full of life, a small flower bud appeared on the flower stem.
Suddenly, a drop of water fell on the flower bud, and a beautiful three-color flower slowly bloomed on the stem, and the whole room began to exude a faint fragrance...
The drop of water was dripping from Cohen's forehead.
"Okay!" Cohen Keda smiled a little hard, raised his head and said to Lily: "Take it away!"
"Madman!" Dill Merlin turned around and walked out. She didn't want her husband to find her watching: "I used healing magic to cure a flower, and I was so tired that I was sweating profusely! If you don't know how to use it, don't use it! Don't use it!
What kind of magician..."
However, Dill Merlin, who already had tears in his eyes, knew that he would never forget that on a sunny morning, a half-hearted magician tried his best to cure a tricolor flower, just to make a little
The girl smiled.
The bright sunlight shone on him through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the sweat on his forehead look so crystal clear. At that moment, his face flashed with brilliance, and his slight smile was so sincere that he no longer felt disgusted, and he even liked it.
Look at that naughty smile on his lips...
Dill Merlin walked onto the small pier, trying to wake herself up. This feeling was so strange. She obviously hated him, so why was she still attracted to him at that moment? She thought carefully about whether to continue
Make yourself hate him.
In the distance, smuggling carriages were coming, and dozens of them were lined up at the dock. This man! He was really not an ordinary money-grubber.
Dill Merlin watched the young warrior named Jack direct his men to load the goods onto the ship. The unique smell of dried cloves began to permeate the dock... Wait, cloves?
"This cunning guy!" She found a reason to continue to hate him: "He actually plagiarized my idea!"
"Who are you talking about?" Her husband had already walked behind Dill Merlin, but she didn't notice.
"Talk about you!" she said angrily: "I just said yesterday that spices could be smuggled, and you started today. You are so fast!"
"Of course, since there is a profit to be made, why bother looking forward and backward?" Her husband answered her seriously, without the slightest hint of apology or gratitude.
"Don't you think there's something wrong?" she asked angrily.
"What's wrong?" The husband said calmly: "You are my wife, and your thoughts are my thoughts."
"My thoughts are your thoughts? You said it so easily!" She said, "What about your thoughts?"
"My thoughts?" The husband smiled: "Of course it's still mine."
"You... scoundrel! Bandit!" Dill Merlin was furious: "I want to duel with you!"
"you sure?"
Dill Merin stopped talking, and instead pulled out a narrow sword from a warrior's waist and took a stance towards her husband. But her husband, Cohen Keda, kept smiling as he watched her do all this.
"Okay, let's play with you." He said, "Three times is enough."
Dill Merlin thrust out her sword, and the lightning-fast blade headed towards her husband's arm. She was sure that she could pierce his clothes and make him look embarrassed without hurting him.
The smile on her husband's face did not change, as if he had seen through her heart, his hand had already grasped the blade of the sword.
"Once." Her husband let go of his hand, and she saw that he had put on a pair of black gloves at some point.
Breathing out a steady breath, Dill Merlin told herself not to be nervous. After thinking about it for a moment, she used her most proud martial arts... five consecutive stabs. The narrow sword drew a series of snow-white sword lights in the air, crisscrossing each other.
Then she pestered her husband.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" The husband waved his hands continuously, and he blocked all five attacks!
"Twice." The husband said, "You still have one chance."
Dill Merlin did not speak. When she competed with others before, no one could catch her five consecutive stabs. Even if the other party could catch it, they would not dare not pretend to lose to her.
Her husband's seriousness made her very embarrassed. She glared and stabbed out with the sword again, no, stabbed out with the sword again and again. Dill Merlin had already forgotten the agreement three times.
"It's already happened three times!" Her husband's tone became serious, but she didn't care!
However, her husband caught her sword again in the sword light, and grabbed her collar with his other hand.
"You've gone too far." The husband said, "It's over now!"
"No!" said the stubborn Dill Merlin: "You scoundrel, I will defeat you!"
"Don't you understand yet?" His eyes were shining: "You can never defeat me. Don't even think about anything. Why don't you try to respect me?"
"Because you have never respected me!"
"I haven't respected you?" He got angry and pulled her body up: "You asked for this!"
Cohen Keda lifted her high like a bag of dried cloves to the dock, and then threw her into the sea without any mercy...
"You need to calm down." He squatted by the dock and looked at her from above: "Think about it, in this castle, who is the most special beside me? Who can do whatever they want? Me
Disrespect you? If you had been replaced by another noble pretty boy, you would have been tied up and beaten three times a day and molested!"
"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!" Dill Merlin shouted loudly: "I hate you!"
"Really? That's right, there is no love...it's not bad to have hatred." The husband stood up, turned around and left.
Dill Merlin returned to the room, changed his clothes with Lily's help, and then began to sit on the bed alone in a daze.
"Don't be angry..." Lily comforted her and said, "Just think that you ordered the young master to throw you into the sea."
"No! He actually did it in front of so many people..." Dill Merlin pouted and said, "I must take revenge!"
"You two, stop being like this!" Lily held her hand and said, "Actually, the young master is right. Why can't you try to get along well?"
"Can we?" Dill Merlin said with tears in his eyes: "We are basically people from two worlds!"
"If you want to get married because you want to live with someone who is exactly like you." Lily looked at her and said, "What's the difference between that and not getting married?"
"Don't you understand yet? Lily." She murmured: "I was bought back by him... Why did he buy me here? Whenever I think of this, I... I just..."
Lily slowly held Dill Merlin's shoulders.
"I'm just a little girl, I'm just a maid... I wasn't even bought by the young master." Lily said, "But I know that the young master is very good to me, and I live a very happy life... Madam, why should you care about you?"
How did you get together with the young master? Don’t you really know that the young master actually respects you? In the past two days, the young master has slept with his friends without disturbing you. You are also the only one in the castle who can be with you.
The young master can quarrel without being punished..."
"That's because he doesn't dare!" Dill Merlin said bitterly.
"You are wrong, madam..." Lily said, "You have never seen the young master get angry, but I have."
"Maybe……"
"Madam, can I give you a suggestion?"
"Of course, Lily." Dill Merlin held Lily's hand: "We are friends."
"You try to forget what happened with the young master in the past. From today on, you can try to feel the young master's heart... You will find that you actually like being with the young master... Maybe the young master is not a perfect person.
People, but the young master is definitely a sincere person, his heart... is very sincere."
"Do you really think so?" Dill Merlin asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Okay, let me try..."
Day by day, Dill Merlin spent every day in constant quarrels with her husband. Sometimes she won, and sometimes her husband won. When they were not quarreling, she and Lily would take Abu to the beach to play, as long as it was not
It was very excessive. Her husband never stopped her from doing anything she wanted to do. He would only look at her from a distance from time to time.
Dill Merlin enjoyed freedom that he had never had before, as if he had returned to his childhood. His life was happy and fulfilling. Before he knew it, Dill Merin had been in this castle for seven days.
In the early morning of this morning, Dill Merlin was sitting in front of the mirror, combing his fiery red hair, and thinking about what to argue with her husband today. Over the past few days, quarreling has become a habit, but when the two parties were arguing
They are very restrained and never involve each other's family, friends, or relatives.
"Just find something wrong with breakfast." She thought: "Yes, let's start from this, make him angry! Then tell him a few smuggling catalogs...he will definitely be happy."
At this moment, her door was pushed open with a loud "bump".
Dill Merlin turned around and looked, and the person who came in was her husband! Almost as a conditioned reflex, she grabbed the dagger that she never left behind, because her husband never came to her room at night, and now she didn't even bother to open the door.
Lock.
"How could I be so careless!" She was frustrated: "Just because he doesn't come in at night doesn't mean he won't come in in the morning..."
"What do you want to do?" She stood up: "You didn't even knock on the door, get out quickly."
The husband ignored her protest and walked towards her.
"Don't come here." She said, "I...I have weapons!"
"Put down your weapons." Her husband said to her, "I have something to tell you."
"Listen carefully, I will only say this once." The husband's face was solemn: "I have something urgent and need to go out for a few days. I don't know how things will develop, but I will come back as soon as possible."
Dill Merlin had never seen her husband so serious and nodded involuntarily.
"If I don't come back in a few days." The husband took out a handful of documents from his pocket and handed them to her: "You go to Wanpu immediately and take over all my business, including smuggling. No matter what you do, someone will help you.
Every half a month, the city lord of Wanpu will ask you for money, you give him as much as he wants, remember?"
"I will give him whatever he wants!" For some reason, she had unconsciously stepped into the position of a wife.
"I left a few guards for you." The husband said, "If you don't know anything, you can ask Jack. I also left him."
After saying this, the husband strode out of the room.
"Also." The husband paused at the door: "Be careful when you go out... Don't be too willful when I'm not around."
Watching him walk downstairs, Dill Merlin couldn't help feeling panicked. She knew that her husband must be in trouble... There were already waves of noise coming from the other side of the pier, and she pulled Lily onto the castle's door.
Tower, looking towards the pier.
There was a large ship docked at the pier. The husband was talking to a few people. The men who called her husband son were running out of the castle one by one and standing in neat rows on the pier, all wearing different styles of armor.
, without exception holding a weapon.
The moment her husband boarded the ship, Dill Merlin saw him glance towards the castle. She understood that she was not as statusless in her husband's heart as she had previously thought. She looked at the large handful in her hand.
The documents, the clothing store that I had invested countless efforts in, and the deed of my home in Wanpu were all in it... I felt sour and almost shed tears.
"You also have to be careful." She waved to the big ship that started to raise its sails: "My, country bumpkin..." (To be continued)
