The Black Thorn Manor has completely changed, all the crises have been lifted, the servants have known who its current owner is, but some people are not at ease, they are always on the lookout, they are on the wrong path in the matter of loyalty.

After recovering from his recovery, Mirel returned to the role of steward, with Barbara's side to help, believing that everything in the manor would soon be on track.

"You mean, Seth is gone?"

The study had been cleaned up, but the smell had not subsided for a while, and at this time, Roque was sitting at his desk, his expression slightly solemn, he had just finished listening to Murdan's report.

"Yes, my lord, this is my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept the punishment. Murdan fell to his knees, frustrated.

Yag on the side was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Murdan to miss.

"Murdan, stand up, it's not your fault. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Isn't that more interesting, I want more than they want to know what they want from the manor. A smile appeared on Roque's face.

Hearing Roque's words, Yag breathed a sigh of relief, Murdan was not punished for this incident, and he was happy for this old man.

"Yag. ”

"Yes, sir, what do you command? ”

"Go and get Fili, the manor will be our home from now on, and don't forget to invite Martha and her guests over. Roque commanded earnestly.

"Yes, I'll go. ”

The task of communicating was too easy for him, and Yag left the study directly.

Crunch, the door opened again, and two maids entered.

"Master Roque, we have to give, we have to spray the study with essence. The maid who spoke looked nervous, and her hand holding the spraying tool was shaking.

"Don't be nervous, you can get to work. Roque said mildly.

"Yes, sir. ”

The maids began to get busy, they seemed to be very cautious, even though the current master and the two were familiar with each other before, but now, the identity of the other party has completely changed, and Murdan silently stood behind Roque.

"Murdan, how does Black Thorn Manor make you feel?" Roque asked casually, leaning back in his chair.

"Ancient, solemn, full of stories. "Murdan's assessment is very streamlined.

"You're right, it's been more than two hundred years, when Black Thorn was just an inconspicuous plant, and later, under the careful cultivation of the ancestors, it became a magic potion, and then it was dedicated to the lord, and then there is the current Black Thorn family. ”

"It is said that there was once a knight in the family, but unfortunately before he could be knighted, he disappeared inexplicably, if this did not happen, maybe the current Miral is my territory. ”

Roque said lightly that he didn't know much about the history of the family, only knew some important things, and now he was willing to share it with Muldan, which was tantamount to treating him as a confidant.

"It's a pity, but I believe that the Black Thorn will become more brilliant in the hands of the Lords, and I am convinced that the sword in my hand will always cut through the thorns for you. "Murdan is not stupid, he can fully feel the trust that the other party has given him, what else is there to say, he can only repay it with a lifetime of loyalty.

"It's a long road, and I may encounter countless enemies along the way, but I have nothing to fear, and one day, I hope that every living being will have their own Pure Land of Bliss, undisturbed by sorrow, fear, and darkness. ”

As Roque said this, the fairytale world of Khnabaikal and his companions were playing with each other in this uncontested pure land.

"My lord, I now understand why you have that power, because you have fully understood the meaning of life. Murdan's expression was slightly agitated, and he was filled with reverence.

"Sadness, cruelty, kindness, fraternity, tolerance, wisdom, stupidity, evil, metricality, indifference are all components of life, and we must be in awe of it and, at certain moments, trample on it. ”

When the busy maid heard Roque's words, the work in her hands actually stopped, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

"Young Master, oh, look at my brain, Master Roque. ”

Milyre's complexion recovered well, he was almost seventy years old, he was no longer young, but who would have thought that this old man with sparse hair would be so strong, and although he had been tormented by that strange thing for a long time, he was now like a nobody.

"Grandpa Miler, it's okay if you call me Roque, don't worry about these things. ”

In the face of this old man who had served in the Black Thorn Manor since his grandfather's time, Roque had nothing but respect in his heart.

"That's not good, I'm old, but I'm not so demented that I've forgotten even the minimum etiquette. ”

Millair said solemnly, at this moment, he showed the good side of the old man's stubbornness and old-fashionedness, carefully put the box in his hand on the desk, and gently pushed it to Roque.

"Okay, Grandpa Mirel, I can't tell you, can you tell me what's in this box?"

It's a waste of time for you to argue with a stubborn old man about something that he can't justify, and Roque understands it well, and he just chooses to give up and focus on the box.

It was a size-long wooden box, dark red throughout, carved with some strange symbols, and a strangely shaped groove where it opened and closed.

"Treasure, treasure in the Black Thorn Manor, they've always wanted this. Millair said cautiously.

Hearing the word treasure, Roque and Murdan's hearts were shocked at the same time, and both of them had a look of horror in their eyes, perhaps this can explain everything that happened during this time, and the box in front of them is the source of everything.

"This pattern feels familiar to me. ”

Roxzai looked at the groove carefully and thoughtfully, always feeling that he had seen it somewhere.

"Yes, Lord Roque, you should be familiar with it, so please open it. Mirel affirmed.

"Couldn't this box be opened by any other means, Grandpa Mireel?" Roque had an embarrassed look on his face, he could already remember where he had seen this pattern.

"What's wrong with Master Roque? Millair explained, and at the moment, he had a faint premonition of bad luck in his heart.

"Grandpa Mirel, I don't think I can get the badge out, I can't explain much about it. Roque said slowly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"What!" Hearing this, Miller's mind went blank and he was stunned.

"My lord, is it the same as my medal?" Murdan, at this time, he couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, they're all gone. Roque nodded in acknowledgement.

Millaire, who was gradually recovering, glared at Roque with a stern gaze like reproach, and everyone could see that the old man was angry.

"Master Roque, this is no joke, are you sure you can't take out the badge?"

"Yes, Grandpa Mirel, I really can't get the badge out. ”

"Okay, I see. With disappointment on his face, Mirel looked at the two busy maids, then turned his gaze back to Roque.

"I didn't hear about this at all just now, Mr. Murdan, you are the same, I am thinking of a way to solve the problem of the box, Master Roque, I will go down first. Mireel gave a serious admonition, and turned directly towards the maid.

Roque wanted to stop the other party but didn't know what to say, judging from the other party's cautious actions, he still underestimated the badge, it seems that there will be trouble in the future, headache.

"Stop, come out with me, Lord Roque needs to read quietly. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Milael took the restless maid away, and Murdan was about to speak, but was stopped by Roque.

"Murdan, I know what you want to say, let Grandpa Mireel do it, don't worry, I will give a generous pension to ensure that their families have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Murdan nodded slightly, let out a silent sigh in his heart, and was quickly relieved.

"My lord, should I help Mirel's housekeeper?"

"It's not necessary, seriously, this kind of thing Grandpa Mirele has always done very well, no one is more suitable than him, let's study this box together and see if there is any way to open it." ”

"Yes. Murdan had no choice but to dismiss the idea.

When it comes to the treasures of the Black Thorn Manor, it sounds like an irresistible temptation, but the truth is cruel, and things are not going well.

The box was too strong for any external force to open it, and Roc even allowed Murdan to use his great force to force it open, but to no avail.

"Maybe you can use my powers. ”

Roque had a great idea, and he immediately began to implement it.

Murdan stood silently, and at this moment, Roque was like a statue, his eyes dark, looking intently at the box in front of him.

It was a silent and invisible force, but it was unusually powerful, and Murdan thought so, and he was already somewhat sure of the origin of this power.

"The toad is spitting, the lost prayer girl, the nine-square grid of the spiritual sea. ”

About half an hour passed, and Roque said this to himself, and he gradually recovered.

"What were you talking about, my lord?" said Murdan, curious.

"Prophecy, what I saw in the box, maybe this is the key to open the treasure. Roque guessed.

"The toad is spitting, the lost prayer girl, the nine-square grid of the spiritual sea. Murdan repeated the sentence, thinking in his mind the meaning of the sentence, but could not come up with any answer.

"What the hell would that mean. Murdan, who had been thinking to no avail, said helplessly.

"I don't know, but we should be able to do something. Roark smiled.

"If your lord has anything to do, just tell me. It seems that the other party has already made up his mind, and Murdan is completely relieved now.

"Murdhan, go to Barbara, tell her, tell all the servants, and catch not a single toad in the manor. Roque stood up from his chair.

"I'll do it. ”

Murdan instantly thought of the toad spitting, and immediately felt that this thing was indeed feasible.

A manhunt for the toads in the Black Thorn Manor begins, and after Milael has dealt with the maid, he learns of the news and returns to Roque's study.

"Master Roque, do you already know the secret of the treasure?"
