"Roque, do you hate me?" Enoch asked calmly, unsurprised by Roque's actions.

"I kind of hate you, you're so cold. Roque looked disgusted.

"I mean that kind of hatred, like what you did to your father, do you want to kill me right away. The smile on Enoch's face flickered as he asked.

"Maybe, but there's one more thing I'd like to do right now. Roque shook his head, then spoke affirmatively.

"What's the matter?" Enoch was taken aback by his answer, and he couldn't understand it a little.

"Invite Helen to Black Thorn Manor. Roque looked at the other party and said softly.

Enoch didn't speak immediately, but fell into deep thought, he knew that the other party had made up his mind, and he could resist.

"I have a few of my subordinates, they haven't had jobs lately, I went to the law enforcement court to say goodbye to them, and suggested that they go to the Black Thorn Manor to find work, can you take them?" Enoch asked a little later.

"Are they swordsmen?" Roque's brow furrowed.

To be honest, he doesn't have the slightest favor among the people in the law enforcement court, but if he meets the conditions, he can still consider it, after all, the current guard force of the manor is very scarce.

"Yes, they're all swordsmen, and I can assure they're very good fellows. Enoch nodded slightly.

"How many are there?"

"Nine people. ”

"Yes, if they are willing to work on the estate, I will not refuse. ”

"Thanks, I think we can talk about something special now. With that, Enoch slowly stood up from his chair.

At this time, Murdan, who was waiting anxiously downstairs, wanted to rush upstairs several times, and Roque and Enoch had been talking to it for more than an hour, which was a kind of torment for him.

The servant who drove the car had already returned to the car, and perhaps for him, there was nothing to do here, after all, not many people could stand it in the face of a housekeeper with a cold attitude.

Murdan knew very well that if he wanted to go upstairs, he would definitely be stopped by the other party, and he was not used to arguing with women, especially when it was someone else's house.

"Don't worry, my lord, Dad and Master Roque are good friends, and they must have a lot to say. ”

Helen, who was in happiness and joy, came over with coffee, and she comforted her, hoping that the other party would be patient.

"Haha, thank you, don't worry, I'm not worried. After taking the coffee from the other party's hand, Murdan said with a smile that he didn't want to say anything bad in the face of the innocent Helen.

Well, the hostess has spoken, and Murdan can only endure it for the time being, especially Linda standing behind Helen, which is terrible.

Two hours passed, and Murdan's wait was finally over.

As the door to the study slowly opened, Roque's conversation with Enoch was over, and no one knew what they had said in the end.

"I'll pick up Helen tomorrow, and you'll do it yourself. Roque looked calm.

"Take care of her for me. Enoch didn't get up to see him off, and nodded expressionlessly.

Click.

"Your Excellency. ”

After seeing Roque coming down, Murdan quickly put down the cup in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Now that we're done, it's time for us to go. Roque nodded at him.

"Master Roque, are you leaving?"

Helen had a look of reluctance in her eyes and didn't come over because Linda was pulling her.

"Yes, Helen, I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to the manor, Enoch has agreed. Roque smiled at her.

"Uh-huh. Helen smiled instantly, resisted the excitement in her heart, and nodded desperately.

Ahem.

Linda suddenly let out a light cough, and she said slowly, "Master Roque, please go slowly." ”

"Goodbye then. ”

After taking a deep look at Linda, Roque left the room with Murdan.

Hiss.

"Master, have you done your business?" Outside the house, the servant sitting in the front of the car hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.

"Let's go to the Goblin Tavern. ”

After answering, Roque sat in the car, and after bothering Hera for so long, he felt the need to thank him in person.

"Goodbye, Lord Roque, see you tomorrow. ”

Helen burst out of the doorway and shouted at the carriage that had already begun to move.

"See you tomorrow, Helen. ”

Helen smiled like a little moon at the sound of Roque's voice, and she looked forward to tomorrow more than anyone else, and watched the carriage go away, until it was gone, and then she slowly turned back into the house.

"What a good little girl, my lord, I think the story Millaire made up is really good. In the carriage, Murdan said with a smile.

"Ahem, Murdan, you know, she's just a little girl, I didn't expect you to joke too. Roque glared at the other party, but was not angry.

"My lord, I'm not joking, besides, sooner or later the manor will have a mistress. Murdan argued.

"That's for later, I'll have to prepare for tomorrow, and I hope the woman named Linda doesn't come with me, I don't like her very much. "Roque didn't dwell on this topic too much, he paid more attention to tomorrow's things.

Murdan smiled, in fact, he wanted to tell the other party that some things are not up to their own hands, there are already signs, that story is the best introduction, think about it carefully, don't worry about it.

"Seriously, my lord, I don't like that housekeeper either. Muldan echoed Roque's sentiments.

"And what if she follows tomorrow?" Roque asked.

"Then leave it to Ager. Murdan thought for a moment and gave advice.

"Good idea. Roque smiled.

Compared to the construction frenzy in the small town of Miral, the Ranma Forest is much more low-key, silent, cold, and full of carnage, with an air of bad intentions permeating it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A palm-sized black figure was scurrying through the forest, and in this world of the jungle, Sogo was carrying out his great goal, at least on the periphery of this side of the forest, he had terrified those demonic beasts.

It's not too much to say that he is the king of this area, he has great strength and power that is beyond the reach of the surrounding demonic beasts, and everywhere he goes, he either surrenders or dies.

It's hard to imagine that in less than a year, that once weak ant has grown into a behemoth that can change the pattern of the forest.

The territory that Sogo now owns is already very huge, but he is not here to inspect today, he is preparing for the conquest of the second-level Warcraft region, which can be regarded as an investigation in advance.

Sou.

Sogo fell to the ground like an arrow, and just then, a voice came.

"You're quite capable, little one. ”

The voice was as low as a twilight drum, and the next moment the whole forest seemed to fall silent, and everything became silent.

Alert, Sogo stopped, instinctively breaking out in a cold sweat, and he even wondered if the temperature in the air was frozen.

"The little one is having a good time this time, we need to have a good talk. ”

Sogo remained motionless, his chest was like a mountain being pressed against him, making it difficult for him to breathe, his mind was blank at the moment, and a sense of crisis instantly came to his heart.

"I'm sorry, it seems to scare you, but you don't have to be too nervous, I just want to talk to you, nothing else. ”

Click, click, click.

"This, this. ”

Nervousness and uneasiness were the truest portrayal of Sogo's current life, and he turned stiffly in the direction from which the sound came, and suddenly saw a huge willow tree appear ten meters away from him.

The ancient trunks are sinking, the cracked bark is full of traces of time, countless willow branches hang down the ground, and on the thick main trunk, a face is slowly condensing.

It's a bit like a human face, but it's not all, it looks kind and gentle, Sogo doesn't dare to come out, he even wants to retreat, so he runs away.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ranma, the owner of this forest. ”

The other party's simple words of introduction made Sogo fall into the abyss, and he thought of what Audrey Sian had said about them, good fellow, is it just to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything. ”

It's strange that Suo Ge believes in such comfort, he only hates his bad luck at the moment, how can such a big man be interested in coming to the outskirts of the forest, this is not scientific.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

If Ranma wants to kill himself, it's as easy as pinching an ant to death, and the worst case is just one death, thinking of this, Sogo's courage became bigger, and he took the initiative to ask.

"Little guy, I have seen your growth, to my surprise, your strength shocked me, can you tell me, what do you want?"

"To live, I'm just trying to live. ”

Sogo replied honestly, at this moment his scalp was numb, and he suddenly felt like he had been seen through, could it be that Ranma had been monitoring him, wouldn't it be too boring.

"What else do you want to know?" the more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and Sogo's mind was tormented.

"Well, as I thought, it takes the weak to witness the extraordinary, and that stone will help you a lot. ”

Click.

Sogo was completely panicked, the other party actually knew about the stone, and what he was worried about now was how much this big man still knew, and how much ** was left of his old bottom.

Silence is the most powerless rhetoric, but at this moment, what can Sogo do except remain silent, if he says it wrong, I'm afraid he will have to go to hell to repent.

"Yes, from the day I saw the stone, I knew more and more things, and I even wondered if I was an ant, believe it or not, this is my case. Sogo thought about it and felt that he should confess in front of the other party.

Ranma didn't speak for a long time, as if in deep thought, and suddenly, his face gradually widened and smiled.

"Haha!"

As the loud voice came out, Sogo felt a hurricane suddenly attack, and he was almost blown away.

"Keep going, little one, you'll get more, and of course, I have to warn you, you have to pay for what you get. ”

The other party's words Sogo heard in a fog, but he knew that he was safe for the time being, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

"Okay, my problem is solved, now it's time to ask you for my subordinates, why did you do it to that queen bee at that time?"

"Can you tell me who your men are?"

"They are the lords of the forest, which humans often talk about. ”

"Understood. Listening to the other party's answer, Sogo's heart was cold for most of the time, it seemed that Audrey Sian's relatives were huge, and it was really the worst fact.

Sogo suddenly felt that both the weak and the strong had their own circle, and your ignorance and surprise only meant that you were not qualified to enter that circle.

Don't tell people that ninth-level demonic beasts are rare, and don't say that powerful and incomparable dragons are only in legends, not to mention that those legendary wizards never show up easily, and many people will never see them in their lifetime.

To hell with these words, they will only show your ignorance in the bare light, because in their circles it may be far more lively than you think.

It may be that the ninth-level demonic beasts are in groups, the huge dragons are partying every day, and the legendary wizards are gathered together every now and then, drinking red wine and discussing the truth of the world.

Even the master of this forest is someone else's subordinate, and there is nothing else that cannot happen, but there are things that make people feel distressed if they think too much.

The question of whether the vast universe is infinitely large or infinitely small has been explored too much, and people will lose themselves and forget the meaning of existence.

Whew.

"I did have a bit of friction with that king bee, and I admit that, because I think her queen bee army is so strong that I don't think anyone can resist conquering them. ”

"Greed is a poisonous snake, but it is also indispensable for a conscious life, think about it, without greed, the world would lose its competitiveness. ”

"I don't know what the relationship between your subordinates and the queen bee is, and I don't care if they come to trouble me, I just want to say that the queen bee is following me now, and willingly, and if I want to ask for proof, I don't think it's a difficult thing for them. ”

Sogo solemnly defended himself, and for some reason, he always felt that Ranma had no ill will towards him.

It was a strange feeling, the high master of the forest and the weak ant, literally, there was no intersection at all, but the fact that it happened, it was a little shocking.

Ranma didn't speak immediately, as if she was digesting Sogo's unconventional confession, time was passing bit by bit, and the sound of wind and grass around her had long since disappeared.

This made Sogo inevitably have a delusion, did the time around him stop, after all, a powerful existence is not far away, thinking about it is still very possible.

"Little one, my men have checked and confirmed that you are not lying, and then the trial is over. ”

At this moment, Ranma spoke, and it was obvious that his expression was more stretched than before.

"This. ”

Sogo was speechless in shock, and suddenly felt creepy, he got a lot of information from Ranma's words, and the feeling was that those guys were around here just now.

It was terrible that the great powers of the forest had poured out their nests to judge their so-called little ants, and Sogo didn't know whether to feel honored or not.

"Haha, don't be too surprised, it's rare for us to come here, because those filthy wizards will be restless, and you shouldn't complain, after all, that queen bee is a descendant of that fellow, albeit hundreds of generations. ”
