While Connor was in his apartment, combining all the alchemy information he had with his auxiliary A.I. Chip, studying how to solve the three major problems he had to face in refining alchemy puppets for magic stone mining, a letter that surprised Connor was delivered to the mailbox in front of Connor's apartment by the postman of Loen City.
Looking at the lavishly decorated letter on the table and addressed to Connor Ferguson, a complicated look appeared in Connor's eyes. When he had just been reborn in this world, his mailbox had received more than a dozen emails every month. Most of them were invitations from nobles to balls and social gatherings. However, after Connor came into contact with the Magus World, he rarely participated in these aristocratic gatherings. Naturally, such social invitations were rarely sent to Connor.
As soon as he noticed that someone had sent him a letter, Connor, who was studying how to refine alchemy puppets in his apartment, was startled. He subconsciously thought that it was Marguerite who had contacted him. Marguerite had used this method to contact him before. The reason why he was startled was because he had just met Marguerite. It had only been a few days since Marguerite contacted him. This was obviously not a good thing!
When Connor took the letter out of his mailbox, he found that he was very wrong. This was not a letter from Marguerite at all. It was a letter from his family.
That's right, this letter was from the Ferguson family to Connor. The unique pattern of the Ferguson family and the sender's name, Martinez, proved this point. Martinez was the chief steward of the Ferguson family. According to Connor's memories, when he was young, the old Ferguson spent every day drinking and debauchery outside. The Ferguson family's hereditary knightly breathing technique was taught to him by Martinez, the old steward who had served the Ferguson family for decades, instead of the old Ferguson.
After pondering for a moment, Connor opened the letter. He had been in this world for more than a year, almost two years. However, due to the conflict between the original owner and the old Ferguson, he had never contacted the Ferguson family. Today, the Ferguson family took the initiative to contact him. He was a little curious. What was the purpose of the Ferguson family?
After opening the letter, Connor saw that the handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as the one in his memory.
At the very beginning of the letter, the old butler expressed his concern about whether Connor had enough money and how far he had progressed in practicing the knight breathing technique. Then, the old butler changed the topic and said that the old Ferguson missed him very much. He hinted that after Connor graduated from Green University next year, he would immediately return to the family's home in Flosinone, an important town in the northeast of the empire.
Seeing this, Connor couldn't help but ponder. In his memory, although old Ferguson had been indulging in debauchery, his strength had steadily reached the level of a great knight. His life level had been greatly improved. Normally speaking, although a great knight's 100 years old might be a bit exaggerated, it was definitely stable for him to be at least 70 years old. For example, the old steward of the Ferguson family, Martinez, who was also a great knight, was already more than 80 years old, but he was still very healthy!
However, although the old butler's words were very vague, the meaning of the letter was very clear. That is, the original owner's father, the head of the Ferguson family, Earl Ferguson, was getting worse and worse. Realizing this, Connor immediately squinted his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the old Ferguson was only 50 years old this year. Even if his body was drained by debauchery, with his foundation as a grand knight, he could at least live to 60 years old. There was a difference of 10 years between 50 and 60 years old!
Based on the level of a grand knight, it was basically impossible for a grand knight to get sick under normal circumstances. The main reason why a grand knight's lifespan decreased was that they were seriously injured in battles. That was why they had a short lifespan.
And with the old butler Martinez's decades of dedication to the Ferguson family, Connor didn't think that the old butler would joke with him about this. Therefore, there must be something else behind the old Ferguson's matter! Connor then thought of the conversation between the old butler and Lindelof, an advanced wizard apprentice from the Serta School, which further deepened Connor's speculation about the old Ferguson's physical condition.
As he continued reading, Conor discovered the direct reason why the old butler Martinez sent him this letter. One week later, Desilio Ranieri, an important figure of Donhoy Company in the New World, would return to Bernabeu from the New World and present a financial report to the shareholders of Donhoy Company on behalf of the management of Donhoy Company! And his first stop after returning from the New World was Loen. This Mr. Desilio Ranieri would land in Loen, and after a short period of rest, he would take the train to the imperial capital, Bernabéu.
What did this have to do with Connor and the Ferguson family? Why did the old butler send a letter to Connor for this matter? The reason was simple. This Mr. Desilio Ranieri was born in the Ranieri family, another big count family in the Empire. Desilio was the younger brother of the current head of the Ranieri family, Count John Ranieri.
The Ranieri Family and the Ferguson Family had a tradition of friendship for generations. Both belonged to the hereditary noble camp. The two families had been connected by marriage for several generations. The current head of the Ranieri Family, John Ranieri, was the younger brother of the Ranieri Family. Paul Ranieri, who was in charge of the Ranieri Family's knight order, was married to the cousin of the old Ferguson Family. If one were to seriously consider it, then theoretically, Connor himself also had the blood of the Ranieri Family.
Returning to the main topic, returning to Loen from the New World required the fastest ship to travel at full speed day and night. The Goddess of Storms also gave him face and didn't storm. It would take at least a month and a half to return. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to return from the New World to Loen without three months. Therefore, after months of drifting at sea, not many people would choose to leave Loen immediately after returning from the New World without any special reason. They would all choose to stay in the bustling Loen for a period of time to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
And this was no exception for Mr. Desilio Ranieri. He expected to land in Loen in five days, and as a high-ranking member of the East Hoy Company in the New World, it was impossible for him to leave Loen immediately. He needed to stay in Loen and connect with the capitalists, factory owners, and nobles here.
