Chapter 550: Relatives
"Young Master Golon, Patriarch, please move to the conference room, please follow me. ”
Because he was deep in thought, Goron didn't listen carefully to the conversation behind the underground conference room, but the maid would come up to greet him, and it seemed that the quarrel below should be over. At least the texts have come to a general unanimity.
Goron sighed, since they are all here, it doesn't hurt to meet those people, after all, they are all related by blood. So he got up and followed the maid out of the parlour.
Almost any aristocratic castle manor will have some secret rooms built to do something shady or escape in the worst case.
The elders of the Huwen family will set up the meeting place directly in the underground secret room, which has directly explained how bad the situation of the Huwen family is at this time, not only can not even the people in the family be fully trusted, but even be ready to flee at any time.
Goron silently followed behind the maid, and after many detours and dark passages, he finally came to the door of the secret room, and when he pushed the door in, he saw at first a group of young and old staring at him. Their gazes were either curious or disdainful, but most of all they were surprised, as if they were surprised by their appearance.
"Really, it's really exactly the same......"
"yes, it's a replica of what Amanda looked like when she was a teenager. ”
"Look at his clothes, why are they so familiar. It seems to be the proud piece that Amanda designed for herself?"
Ignoring the surprised looks of the crowd, Goron glanced at a mature woman whose gaze finally lingered. Then he asked in a lukewarm tone, "Are you looking for me?"
Although it was the first time they met, but after eavesdropping for so long before, Goron naturally knew the identity of the person in front of him, and for his aunt, who was bent on asking for help from him, Goron didn't know how to face it for a while, so he chose this tone that was not salty or light.
Michelle smiled lightly on her face, and was just about to stand up and formally introduce herself to Goron, but she didn't expect a cold and disdainful low snort suddenly inserted from the other side of the table: "Sure enough, it's a lowly bastard with the blood of beasts, and he doesn't even know the most basic aristocratic etiquette, and if he pins his hopes on this kind of thing, I might as well die." ”
Although the voice was small, no one in the secret room made a sound at this time, and it was unusually quiet, and this whisper fell into everyone's ears.
Michelle's eyes were angry, the person who spoke was one of his uncles, and he had secretly reached an agreement with a powerful earl in the imperial capital, at the cost of actively betraying the interests of the Huwen family, in exchange for the earl's safe protection for himself and a few of his immediate relatives.
Michelle has investigated this matter clearly for a long time, but she has been holding back, mainly because there is no conclusive evidence, and she is even more afraid that it will completely mess up the Huwen family, which is already on the verge of collapse.
In fact, many of the people here who have mastered the core interests of the family are secretly making some small moves. Michelle is a little powerless even if she wants to, and she can also understand the feelings of these people seeking self-preservation, so she will turn a blind eye. But he didn't expect that this old guy would ignore the agreement reached just now, and would openly dismantle his own platform under such circumstances.
While Michelle was still hesitating to expose the uncle's scandal in order to fight back, Goron had already turned his head and asked the old man, "Who are you?"
The old man snorted disdainfully and replied, "I'm Dominico's own uncle. ”
"Then you are my ......"
"You don't have to climb with me, I have nothing to do with a brute like you in human skin, and even if you have the blood of that bastard Dominiko in your veins, it won't change the fact that your mother is a disgusting ogre!"
The old man himself said that he was happy, completely ignoring the patriarch Michelle's increasingly ugly face, but he also had no choice, whether Michelle's family rescue plan succeeded or not, it would eventually destroy the agreement he had secretly reached with the earl. Although it is only a verbal promise, it is also his only chance at the moment.
In his opinion, the plan made by the patriarch Michelle had almost no chance of success, and it was better to save himself and a few immediate family members than to perish with the Huwen family.
Hearing these vicious words, Goron bowed his head deeply, his shoulders trembling violently, and his fists clenched even whiter.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a half-grown child who has been ostracized by his family and is sadly unable to control himself. Seeing the "pitiful" appearance of the little ogre, some people showed sympathy, some people showed hesitation, but no one stepped forward to comfort them. Even Michelle, the patriarch who wanted to speak, kept her mouth shut, if Goron was really a waste who would cry when she was scolded twice, then it would be of little use for her to find this nephew.
The old guy scolded happily, and several other clansmen who were already disgusted with the other half of Goron's ogre bloodline, as well as the clansmen who for some reason, did not want to see Dominico's line return to the Huwen family, and also joined the verbal offensive against Goron, and for a while, all kinds of foul language fell on the little ogre's head and face, and the "elegance" and "viciousness" of the nobles were exhausted.
In the end, a young man who was scolding rose up and rushed to Goron, wanting to throw this dog mongrel who had tarnished the blood of "Huwen" out of the secret room.
The young man's thrust palm did not end up on the little ogre's shoulder, but was pinched by a slender and graceful palm that was as hard as an iron pincer.
Goron slowly raised his head, and the moment he saw his face, the young man's originally angry and astonished face instantly distorted and collapsed, as if he saw a demon in the abyss of hell, and he suddenly screamed, as if it was not his beautiful and charming distant cousin who was holding his hand, but an ancient beast that chose to devour people.
No...... This is not a simple description, because in front of everyone's eyes, the body of Goron in front of him suddenly swelled, and the next moment, it turned into a giant wolf as big as a brute bull with a slightly transparent body.
"Shaman: Wolf Form!"
The little ogre went berserk......
"Since...... Since you all have nothing to do with me, it's okay for me to tear you apart now...... I wanted to treat you the way humans get along, but if you don't want to, I'd better be an ogre......
The giant wolf's mouth spit out cold words, and a group of Xiu Wen, who had spoken ill of the little ogre before, were suddenly shocked, and the aura emanating from the little ogre seemed to be no less than the powerhouse of the high-ranking battle throne, and it was not something they could fight against at all.
However, after all, the Huwen family is a family of executioners who specialize in killing, although not everyone is good at fighting, but the killing intent on the whole body is not inferior to the veteran warriors in the army, and a few of the most daring ones have already pulled out the decapitating blade on their waists and rushed towards the giant wolf in front of them.
Of course, the next moment they were torn to pieces by the giant wolf.
When Huwen wanted to escape from the door, seven or eight stone pillar totems with a radius of half a meter suddenly rose on the ground, blocking the only exit from the secret room.
A wave of despair suddenly rose in Huwen's hearts, and they could only watch as the wild wolf was devastating, tearing all the clansmen who dared to resist into pieces of meat weighing no more than a pound.
No one thought that Goron was like a real ogre, irrational and restrained, and he would do it when he said he would.
Everyone was bewildered by Goron's slender, delicate and fragile appearance when he first saw him, even though he knew that he had ogre blood flowing in his body, he still instinctively thought of the beautiful child in front of him as a doll that he could knead at will.
Fortunately, this one-sided killing happened suddenly and ended quickly, when Huwen who dared to take the initiative to draw his sword from the giant wolf was all killed, the figure of the ghost giant wolf blurred for a while, and the next moment it returned to its previous human form.
Seeing the peerless beautiful young man with misty eyes and pink lips, no one could equate him with the fierce beast that ruthlessly devoured the lives of several nobles a moment ago.
"I ...... I...... I'm your grandfather's brother......"
The old man who had insulted Golon first had never had the courage to draw his sword at the wolf, so he hadn't become a part of the pile of minced flesh on the ground, but if he had known what was going to happen the next moment a few seconds earlier, he would have drawn his sword and cut off his own head without hesitation.
Everyone finally knew that compared to the violent and ferocious blood in Goron's body, which belonged to the ogre clan, it was still the calmness and cruelty of human beings that were more terrifying.
The old man, who had voluntarily severed ties with Goron, became a handicraft hanging on the wall after a while, just like the deer-headed and bull-headed specimens next to him, the only difference was that he was still alive and could continue to live for a short time.
After dealing with the people who had insulted his mother, Goron looked around and saw the mess, smelling the pungent blood and stench, he frowned slightly, and then opened his mouth to spew out a stream of flames, burning all the flesh to ashes in an instant.
The fire of the otherworldly supernatural power is extremely magical, under the precise control of Golon, there is neither thick smoke nor high heat in the burning process, and it does not seem to consume the air in the secret room, and before everyone can react, Goron has completed cleaning and deodorizing. At this time, he reverted to the young version of "Amanda".
Goron's head turned again to Michelle, the young patriarch, Golon's aunt, whose face was strangely pale, but her face was the most natural of all, and Goron saw a glimmer of hopeful ecstasy in contrast to the unconcealable fear and shock.
Looking at this aunt, Goron's lips moved, and he asked the first thing he said after entering the secret room: "Are you looking for me?"
