Chapter 497: The Return of the God of Misfortune in Drake City

The reception hall of the Kendall family in Drake City, with familiar furnishings and familiar smells, but the atmosphere is completely different. Yiduo Kendall silently looked at the empty door. The two old guards seemed to be dismissed by him in his impression.

These two people who were once dismissed by him are now guarding him, while many people who used to speak sweet words to him are gone.

It has been a month since I left that nightmare place. Whenever I wake up, I find myself in cold sweat. The laughter of dog-headed men, goblins, and ogres and the sound of chisels hitting stones linger in my ears. There is also a voice that keeps reminding me not to do evil and wait for the best time to dedicate Drake City to my Lord.

I "devoutly" prayed to the goddess of dawn and did baptism three times, but the voice in my mind still exists. When I look in the mirror, the devil mark that only I can see occasionally flashes on my forehead. I am no longer free.

Demon believers are even more terrifying than this. If a demon's contract holder violates the contract, his life will be worse than death. After death, his soul will belong to the demon, which is like a curse that is branded in his heart.

Originally, he planned to conceal everything, but he did not expect that the seventh elder was not dead. He told his family everything about himself. From then on, he lost the support of his family. Those who followed him in the capital were also dealt with secretly. Only truly reliable people can be spared.

He surrendered to the demon, and was fought over by two demons. He was called a power grabber and the demon's preferred partner. If this reputation spread, the Kendall family would probably be a bad name.

As Wright and Jasmine said, people close to him suffered again, and they were still implicated by him. The seventh elder was directly deprived of his position as an elder and sent to a remote city to form a new branch family. The subordinates he bought and arranged were either killed or imprisoned. He had no hope of appearing in front of people in this life. Only he was saved.

Once again, relying on Wright and Jasmine's face, favors and huge price, he barely saved his life.

Jasmine begged for help from the Star Mountain Wizard, and worked hard for several months under Will. Declan and Florette. Declan. She fought many battles with demons and aliens who had entered the order, and finally exchanged her scars for a divination by the Star Mountain Wizard.

Nicole Warrior, Florette Knight, Will. Declan Knight, Florette. Declan Knight, Lilith. Kendall Knight, Strange Power Druid, Gru. Hammer Warrior and two formal wizards of the family, a total of nine powerful people who had entered the order, plus three pets who had entered the order, saved her.

She didn't have much impression of the process, but she vaguely remembered that the place finally collapsed and she was almost buried alive. In the end, she relied on the steel puppet summoned by Will. Declan to escape.

The price of saving herself was expensive. Lilith officially became a member of the Declan family, separated from the Kendall family, and was no longer controlled by the Rose family. Everything she had was transferred to the Declan family.

Jasmine was also forced to leave Drake City, but it was not the Deklan family who forced her, but all the nobles of Drake City and the Lord of Bordeaux. The reason was simple. Drake City was small and could not accommodate two Kendall rulers.

The Rose Lady Territory was taken back, and only the title was retained. The unwilling daughter sold all her properties in anger and ran directly to the Deklan Baron Territory in Mabster County with a large sum of money.

Floret Deklan helped at this time. He reported the hard work and achievements of Jasmine to Lord Corleone in order to save her, and the Lord Corleone reported to His Majesty the King.

She really paid a lot for herself.

After His Majesty the King confirmed the accuracy of the news, he issued an order, and Jasmine regained a piece of territory. Although it was not as rich as the Rose Lady Territory and was close to the Mabster Jungle, it was "barely" maintained because it was close to the Deklan Baron Territory.

Drake City is declining. The Seventh Elder has explained the reason to him privately through letters. The Great God has gone and taken away too much luck. Drake City is still important, but the only important thing is the geographical location and those wizards.

The Seventh Elder did not hide his contempt for him in the letter, saying that the Great God has gone, the God of Bad Luck has returned, and the decline of Drake City is visible to the naked eye. At the same time, he also made a proposal, suggesting that he be appointed as an envoy abroad to see if he can collapse the enemy country. This nonsensical thing made Yiduo laugh and cry, but he was secretly in his heart, is he really a disaster star?

Character determines destiny. Yiduo Kendall's character determines many things, but if his minions are pulled out, then his destructive power will be just like that. Just like now, he has no minions to use, no status, power, and every move is watched by the church and the city lord's mansion, and his destructive power is completely unreflected.

"Master Patriarch, this is the income and expenditure for this month. After the eldest lady left, many people started to ignore our accounts, and the income has been reduced by more than half than before. Master Patriarch just came back and bought a lot of things. This month we spent more than 6,000 gold coins, which is a little bit beyond our means." The butler respectfully handed the account book to Yiduo.

More than six thousand gold coins a month is not too much, but is it really so powerful to spend money on one's own? Without this period of life in the royal capital, he might not have cared about this number, but only after losing it did he know how to cherish it. The days when he had no source of income and waited for relief made him learn to read the ledger.

Three new carriages, 2,400 gold coins, 10 gowns, 30 regular clothes, 1,500 gold coins, and 1,000 gold coins for the baptism of Dawn Church. These alone cost 4,900 gold coins. , close to four thousand gold coins, but I rarely go out this month. When I go out, I ride the carriage left by Wright. When did there be a new carriage?

Looking at the income again, this ledger is very messy. Compared with the ledger that Jasmine threw to her, it is completely rubbish. However, it seems that the daily transactions are not much different, and why did the price suddenly increase?

"What is this so-called interception?" Yiduo couldn't help but be surprised when he saw an inconspicuous line of records, but the amount accounted for more than one-third of the entire income.

"Hey, don't you remember, Mr. Patriarch? This was a previous practice. In order to stimulate the subordinates to work hard, one-third of all income is reserved as rewards." The butler looked at Ido Kendall suspiciously, "Could it be that Didn’t the stewards below ask the patriarch for instructions?”

Yiduo's face twitched slightly. It seemed that this was indeed what he said, "Has this rule been implemented like this since I left?"

"No, after the patriarch left, Master Wright changed a lot of rules and kicked out some old people. At that time, a different set of rules was implemented. The response was pretty good, but it was just not domineering enough. This time the eldest young master entered the royal capital. , many people followed. Because this steward was the old man who served under the patriarch, he came back and changed the rules in the name of the patriarch. "The steward's words made Yiduo's face turn pale.

I have been practicing this month and have never ordered anything to be changed, nor have I appointed a so-called steward to take over the property.

"Who gave them the order to do this? Why didn't the people working down there say a word to me?" Iduo felt a little angry. He was really used to eating for himself. These old people don't care about the facts. Speechless.

"Hey, isn't this what the patriarch means? When you come back, don't you want to control all the previous properties? You may not be used to using the young master's people. Why didn't those people make trouble? They all made trouble at home When he came, he was beaten back by the stewards and almost killed himself. Many of his subordinates left. After the patriarch came back, all the old men became more assertive and spoke with confidence. "The steward said. He raised his thumb and praised the patriarch's domineering power.

Ido Kendall took a breath, and a bad premonition grew in his heart. He didn't do anything, but just returned home and a group of moths breed? Moreover, these people are not good birds. Once they get angry and cause trouble, they will definitely be implicated.

"Mr. Patriarch, it's not good. People from the city hall broke into the house and arrested people. They said that people in our house beat people to death."

Ido Kendall felt dizzy for a while. He was really wronged. I didn't do anything.
