The group hates the group and becomes the group's favorite: the female supporting character is

But the reaction of the Lord of Cumberland was greater than Linnaeus expected. Before Linnaeus could speak, the Lord of Cumberland refused again: "As I just said, the West Branch of Cumberland is just a down-and-out noble, and he has no intention of doing anything. I can't afford to get involved in those things. I didn't place any bets, it's just that I'm old and just want to protect myself."

You still protect yourself, do you know how tragically your daughter died in the original novel? Lin Nai complained silently in his heart and tried to continue: "Lord, giving in blindly is not self-protection. Vivian not only has a mortal grudge against me, she also..."

"My surname is Cumberland." Lord Cumberland repeated it again, with a very obvious rejection.

"Of course I know that the East Branch and the West Branch of Cumberland are the same family," Linnaeus almost laughed in anger, "Aren't you curious why I came to you even though I knew this?"

Lord Cumberland was unwavering: "I just want to guard Sony City and am not interested in other things."

Linnaeus tried to make a final struggle: "What if I say that Vivian wants to harm the people of the West Branch of Cumberland and the West Continent?"

"…Our last name is Cumberland."

Okay, oil and salt won’t enter, right?

Lin Nai also lost her patience. She sighed, with a bit of inexplicable regret in her tone: "It seems that the lord can no longer listen to what I say, so let the facts speak for themselves."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Cumberland did not reply. He just looked at Selina and signaled the other party to cut off communication.

Selena silently followed the instructions, and when the petals were about to close, Linnaeus' voice came over again: "Ah, that's right."

"Miss Linnaeus does not need to worry about the family affairs of the Cumberland family." Lord Cumberland said coldly.

There was a pause on the other side, and then Linnai's speechless voice came: "I just want my reward."

remuneration?

"Yes, the reward for my bottle of potion." Lin Nai covered her mouth in surprise as she spoke, her voice rising, "You don't want to have sex for nothing, do you?"

Lord Cumberland choked: "What do you want?"

"I want to enter the temple in Sony City, oh, the abandoned one."

Hearing this, Lord Cumberland narrowed his eyes, and the air pressure around him began to drop, "What are you doing there?"

"As far as I know, the abandoned temple is probably of no use anymore, and the surrounding area is very desolate. Even if I blow it up, Sony City will only lose one illegal building." Lin Nai said slowly, "Your half If I get another opportunity to enter, this deal should be a good deal."

Selena blinked sadly when she heard this condition. She remembered that Linnai's purpose of looking for her at first was also related to the temple. Now Linnai retreated and chose to find an abandoned temple. It seemed that I really plan to terminate the cooperation.

Lord Cumberland was silent for a while: "Who are you?"

"As your children said, a commoner alchemist." Linnai replied calmly.

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Lord Cumberland nodded.

Linnai chuckled: "Then, in one week, there should be no guards or residents around the abandoned temple."

After saying that, Linnai closed the communication. After a while, she saw the four-petaled flower in her hand light up. The petal representing Selina fell quietly and quickly disappeared in front of Linnai's eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, I am determined to cut off contact with you." Samuel, who was watching the whole process, said with emotion, "I really feel sorry for your bottle of medicine. If I were to sell it on the current mainland, I don't know how much it could be sold. amethyst."

"Just like your teacher Lilia, she is a prodigal." Samuel commented sharply at the end.

"Of course it's more than this price." Linnai took back the little flower used for communication and stood up very calmly, "He will change his mind."

"Oh, so confident?" Samuel raised his eyebrows and flew to Linnai's side, "Let me remind you that some nobles are old antiques who only recognize their families. You just heard what the lord said, that Weiwei Anko's surname is Cumberland, even if she did something hugely wrong, those old antiques would pinch their noses and recognize her and then wipe her butt."

"It's just that the wrong thing she did was not enough." Lin Nai put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf.

Seeing that Linnai seemed to have his own ideas, Samuel stopped talking and just reminded her: "I'd like to remind you that these nobles who have been in high positions for a long time have many minds. Be careful when you go to the city in the next few days. Be careful and don't let that lord trick you."

Yin her?

Lin Nai sneered: "Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said. If he doesn't listen, he will bear the consequences."

In the Cumberland Lord's Mansion, Selina watched as a flame ignited in her father's hand, burning the little flower until not even the dregs were left.

"Father, why don't you let her finish, Vivian, maybe she really..." Selina looked at Lord Cumberland eagerly, but was interrupted by the latter.

"Selena, as I just said, you and Vivian are both named Cumberland." Lord Cumberland replied calmly, "I remember when I sent you and Lucas to the Central Continent. As I said, we need to have a good relationship with Vivian."

Isn't that a cliché for leaving instructions and the basic etiquette for guests to follow when visiting the host's house? Selina bit her lip anxiously: "Father, how many years have the West and East branches been separated? Why do you still think they care about blood ties?"

"Selena." The head of the Cumberland family stopped her and looked at each other with two pairs of similar red eyes. "Are you going to go against a clan sister who has the same blood as you for a commoner who doesn't know his origin?"

Selina was suddenly speechless.

She suddenly felt that her father's eyes looked familiar.

When she was a child, when her father was still very powerful and firmly established as the head of the family, many people from the clan would bring their daughters to play with her. Sometimes two people have a dispute. No matter who is right or wrong, those tribesmen will always call their daughter to apologize to Selina.

The expressions those tribesmen looked at their daughters were exactly the same as the father's eyes now.

"Father." Selina heard her voice trembling, "Do you know the reason why my brother sent me back to the Western Continent?"

Recalling her experience in school, Selena subconsciously covered her arm: "Vivian cheated in the final exam and used a magic tool to attack me with stored high-level magic. If my teammates hadn't stopped her, I don’t even have the chance to come back to see you.”

Lucas subconsciously wanted to refute, but was stopped by the Lord of Cumberland.

Father knew she wouldn't lie.

Then, Selina heard the Lord of Cumberland reply.

"Aren't you back?"

what.

Selina subconsciously took a step back.

She thought of the glory of the Cumberland family that her parents had taught her, and she thought of the sacrificed citizens in the city who were about to freeze to death. The velvet carpet was beneath her feet, and the warm temperature was in stark contrast to the snow falling outside the window.

For some reason, Selena felt as if someone had once told her: This is not right.

Yes.

This is not right.
