Chapter 2: His Gift

"Master Roque, I'm looking for some vegetables and fruits. Fili squirmed and lowered her head slightly, looking like she had done something wrong.

In addition to owning a huge manor, the Black Thorn family also has an ancestral house in the town, which is taken care of by servants, this ancestral house is old and old, the location is secluded and gloomy, and after a long time, there are fewer and fewer servants who are willing to come here, and they would rather do more work in the manor.

Fili is an orphan adopted by the manor, and in order to prevent the ancestral house from being abandoned, she took the initiative to live here when she was eight years old to take care of it, in order to repay the kindness of the Black Thorn family.

From then on, no other servants were sent to the estate, and Fili became the nominal owner of the ancestral house.

Every once in a while, Fili would go to the manor to get something, and Roque still had some impression of her, thinking of the other party's actions tonight, and suddenly understood something.

"What's wrong, you can tell me. Roque asked with concern.

"As soon as I went to the manor, they kicked me out. Fili looked gloomy, she had no idea what was happening.

"When did it start to be like this?" Roque asked again after a moment's thought.

"A month ago. Fili replied in the affirmative.

"Young Master Roque?" Seeing that Roque's expression was a little solemn, Fili felt uneasy, and vaguely felt that something had happened to the manor.

"I'll talk about it later. ”

The light in the dilapidated wooden house was a little dim, and as soon as she returned to the ancestral house, Fili quickly lit candles, and the floor was full of masterpieces left by termites, and there were pits.

The iron chandelier on the top is wobbly, with a lot of spider silk sticking, and the walls on both sides are hung with yellowed oil paintings, which can be seen to be some years, and some parts have been blurred, and in the corner, a spiral staircase connects to the second floor, I don't know if it is an illusion, you can always hear the crunching sound.

"Does Master Roque want to eat?"

"I did get a little hungry. ”

After Fili left, Roque sat at the table, and he had no idea what had happened a month ago.

"If you hold a sacrifice, do you offer a sacrifice?"

Roque bent down slightly and took off his boots, and took out a badge from it, which was carved with a lifelike black thorn, I don't know what material it was made of, and it felt heavy in his hand, and there was a cold feeling.

"Did you realize something that led to hiding the family crest?" Roque said to himself, and suddenly he thought of someone and felt the need to meet him.

"Master Roque, it's done. ”

At that moment, Fili carefully brought the plate to the table.

"You usually eat this?" Roque couldn't help but ask, looking at the smorgasbord plate mixed with a lot of rotten cabbage.

"Young Master Roque, I'm sorry, there's no other food here. Fili's eyes were red, she knew that this plate of food was no different from pig food, but it was the only thing she could take.

Roque was deeply touched, he didn't expect that Fili, a little girl, would eat this garbage every day, and the world would be very ruthless.

"It's not your fault, no need to apologize. Saying that, Luo Ke directly took a big gulp, after tossing for so long, he was indeed a little hungry, and he couldn't care about any aristocratic demeanor at the moment.

After a once-in-a-lifetime supper, Roque called Nivea to him, hesitating to tell her about his situation.

"Fili, I need to meet Grandpa Millaire, but I can't let anyone in the manor know about me, can you do that?"

"Master Roque, I can do it. Fili nodded, but there was a flash of fear in her eyes, the manor had left her with too many bad memories.

"Stay safe, remember, don't talk about me to anyone. Roque nodded and said earnestly.

After all night, Roque came out of Fili's humble room, and it was just dawn, but the little girl had already gone out, and then he found hot food in the kitchen, still a hodgepodge.

"If you hold a sacrifice, do you offer a sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice!"

After breakfast, Roque hid in the bedroom on the second floor, ready to see what the culprit could bring him, hoping to be a surprise, after all, he didn't know what kind of danger he would face next.

Airplanes!

With a roar in his head, Roque was surprised to find that the badge was fading away.

"The sacrifice is successful, and the level of extraordinary power awakened this time is ordinary. ”

"Ahh

This body is already mediocre, and he hasn't exercised much since he was a child, and at this moment, he suddenly suffers such torture, and the pain directly increases by geometric multiples.

"Ahem. ”

After a long ordeal, Roque was recovering to horror to find an old man standing not far away, while he found his body floating.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you. The old man spoke indifferently, his gaze remaining on Roque.

"Ahem, who are you, how did you end up here?" Roque asked in trepidation after An An's steady landing on the ground.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that a new chapter will open in your destiny. The old man said seriously.

Hearing this, Roque staggered and almost fell to the ground, completely stunned by the other party's words.

"Sacrifice detected. ”

It was the familiar voice that brought Roque back to reality, and at this moment, his eyes fell on the old man's waist through the open robe, and he could clearly see a strange charm hanging there.

"What's that?" Roque couldn't help but ask.

The old man gently spat out a few words: "Magic ornament, a gadget." ”

"Can you give it to me?" Roque was a little embarrassed, the other party's purpose was not yet clear, but the charm of the charm was too great for him, and he wanted to get it.

The old man looked at him seriously and nodded slightly: "Yes, just take it as a greeting gift." ”

"Thank you. Roque thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and although he couldn't understand the other party's words, he felt that the old man had no ill will towards him.

Roque, who got the ornament, was overjoyed and directly filtered out the other party's words, but when he thought of what to do with the old man in front of him, he suddenly felt a big head.

"If you hold a sacrifice, do you offer a sacrifice?"

"You're too weak and need strength, and I hope you can surprise me next time. ”

Two voices came out at the same time, and at this moment, Roque noticed that the old man had disappeared.

Headache, very headache, Roque's mind was messy in the bedroom.

Black Thorn Manor has suffered a great change, and he is in a deep crisis, and just now, an old man appeared inexplicably, what is wrong with this world, and how crazy it is.

Crunch.

Soon after, the sound of panicked footsteps came to his ears, and Roque came back to his senses.

"Woo, Master Roque, woo. Fili's feeble choking sound came from downstairs.

Roque was just about to respond, but suddenly stopped, obviously sensing that some people were approaching the ancestral house, instinctively sensing the crisis, he cautiously hid behind the window and looked outside.

"Did Fili leak my news?"

At this time, several swordsmen and maids from the manor had already come to the ancestral house, and Roque did not dare to come out, so he hid.

Bang dang!

The dilapidated gate was kicked to pieces, and the merfolk rushed in, and Fili, with many scars on her body, was terrified by the fire, and the swordsmen stepped forward to stomp Fili to the ground, while several other servants followed.
