Chapter 195: Return to Langton Castle
Without further ado, after waiting for Long Yue and Banknote, who were collecting intelligence, Xiao Ruo and the others immediately went to the public entrance and exit of the present world and the secret realm in Europe. Fortunately, now that the plague has been controlled, Xiao Ruo can be freer, otherwise in the first few days when the plague first appeared, Deng Gong would not have let her leave Huaxia.
The location of this gateway to Europe happens to be in Ireland, close to Belfast. Xiao Ruo and Li Muyun, plus Long Yue, who had already begun to cultivate, sacrificed their flying swords, cast a stealth trick, and flew directly to Langton Castle with the rest of them.
Edgeworth flew very fast, and in about half an hour, he could already see the main tower of the castle. When Langton Castle was built, great attention was paid to sturdiness, so the main tower was still standing, which made Xiao Ruo breathe a sigh of relief. It was only when she flew close and looked down in mid-air that she realized that the situation was not optimistic.
The magnitude of the earthquake is very high, and although the magnitude is not yet known, it must be at least 8 on the Richter scale or higher. Otherwise, with the sturdiness of Langton Castle, it would not have been possible to have such great damage.
Looking down from above, the main body of the castle is still there, but the buildings are damaged. Although it is only a third, it is already a great loss for an ancient castle of the level of Langton Castle. The cost of patching up would be astronomical.
"Who?"
Xiao Ruo and the others had just appeared on the square in front of the main mansion, and they were surrounded.
"It's me."
As soon as Xiao Ruo spoke, the team leader was taken aback: "Miss! β
Xiao Ruo's sudden return made the people in the castle scramble for a while. Originally, if Xiao Ruo returned home, the housekeeper should have notified him as soon as possible, and the people should also prepare. But Anthony is not here now, Xiao Ruo is returning urgently, and there is such a big thing in the castle, facing the ugly face of the head of the family, the people are a little scared.
But now Xiao Ruo didn't have time to appease them, and directly explained to Hans, the steward who stayed in the castle, that he was going to the family cemetery.
Cold sweat immediately came down from Hans's forehead: "Miss, the earthquake has just passed, there may be aftershocks, it is really dangerous for you to go to the cemetery at this time, please think twice." β
"I'm just informing you, not asking you for advice." Xiao Ruo frowned and said lightly, "You can settle my family and report the specific loss of the castle to Susan." β
Although the words were light, the heavy pressure made Hans unable to speak. He sighed in his heart that his young lady's momentum was much stronger, and he could only nod to Xiao Ruo's order.
Only the head of the family and the housekeeper of the current head of the family can enter the cemetery of the Langton family, so Xiao Ruo left the family outside and planned to enter by himself. Anyway, nothing will happen, there is Li Muyun outside, she doesn't have to worry.
"Ruoruo, don't you really need someone to accompany you in? You're alone, and your mother is not at ease. "Natural disasters such as earthquakes are the most terrifying, no matter how powerful Xiao Ruo is, he can't compete with natural disasters, Yang Bing naturally can't let go.
"Mom, outsiders are not allowed to enter the family cemetery. I'm the head of the house, and I can't break the rules. And the cemetery is very well built, much better than the main house. You see, the main house is not mostly intact, and the cemetery is definitely in better condition. Xiao Ruo pointed to the main house without any major damage and comforted Yang Bing.
The persuasiveness of the unharmed main house is still very strong, Yang Bing finally stopped bothering and asked Xiao Ruo to bring a few more people, and then let her go.
glanced at Li Muyun, and after seeing him nodding, Xiao Ruo's figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
Turning on the switch of the cemetery and notifying the people below that he was going to enter, Xiao Ruo walked down the steps. Looking at the walls that were still intact, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there shouldn't be much damage.
The grave keeper who had been notified by Xiao Ruo sent two people to greet her at the tomb gate on the first floor, and when they saw Xiao Ruo, the two old men who looked to be around sixty years old owed a debt and shouted: "The head of the family!" β
"You don't need to be so polite." Xiao Ruo raised his hand and took the lead to walk inside: "Everyone has felt the earthquake, right?" Can there be damage in the cemetery? β
"The head of the family can rest assured that there is no damage in general, but we can't enter the main tomb, and we have to investigate it himself." One of the grave keepers said.
Xiao Ruo nodded: "That's what I'm here for." β
She wouldn't tell them she wanted to take Alice's body somewhere else, even if she was the head of the house, and that she wouldn't allow that. She can only act in secret.
Opening the door of the main tomb, Xiao Ruo stepped in, and the stone door closed automatically behind her.
Stepping here again, Xiao Ruo's mood was completely different from last time.
Opening the top layer of the special coffin, through the transparent barrier below, Xiao Ruo saw Alice again. Her face was the same as when she first saw her, but because her eyes were closed, she looked very peaceful.
"Good morning, little girl......"
"I'm sorry, this young lady, I don't know if I can know your last name......"
ββ¦β¦ Will I be lucky enough to know Miss Beauty's name? β
"Rachel, you're such a genius!"
"Rachel, I'm sorry, they won't believe me when I tell them now that you're not my heir, why don't you really be my heir?"
βRachelβ¦β¦β
"Don't trust people so easily, Rachel......"
β¦β¦
"Alice, I've come to see you......" Xiao Ruo's fingers vaguely ran over Alice's cheeks, muttering in his mouth. She closed her eyes, and the scene of meeting Alice and her departure slowly emerged. Even though it's been three years, it's still so clear.
"I'm sorry, Alice, I could have saved you, but I didn't have to do it......" Xiao Ruo hated her slack again, if she was already able to cultivate at that time, how could she not save Alice?
If Alice was still around, she could have eased up, right? She is her most trusted elder, if she is, with her experience, she will not be at a loss when she encounters family problems and relationship problems, but can give her pertinent advice, maybe she will make fun of her because of her immaturity.
And if she could save her herself, wouldn't it...... Could it be that she and Anthony would not have come to this point?
In that case, although he is still an enemy, she won't have such a great hatred for him, right?
"Alice, what would you do if Mr. Charlie did the same thing?" Xiao Ruo asked this question unconsciously, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.
With Alice's personality, I should forgive.
When Joe did that, she still chose to forgive him, just because she thought Joe had given more.
That...... What about Anthony? Didn't he give?
The memories slowly unfolded, and at this time Xiao Ruo realized that whether Alice was alive or after her death, Anthony had always appeared the most around her. If it is said that it is completely unrelated to love, it is impossible, but it may be too accustomed to it, and it has not formed a very deep feeling. However, thinking of the current situation of the two, Xiao Ruo still has a faint regret.
If it weren't for Alice, she would have been able to forgive him easily, right?
So what now?
Thinking about Joe and Charlie, Xiao Ruo was in a trance. Should she also think more about Anthony's goodness, just did a wrong thing, should she completely deny all his efforts?
"Gee, why do I keep thinking about Anthony?" Xiao Ruo wiped away the tears that fell because she missed Alice, laughed at herself, and shrugged her shoulders pretending to be relaxed, "Alice, you must be laughing at me, right?" He is a prince, and he must be living a good life, at least he doesn't have to be called by me......"
Xiao Ruo's laughter gradually decreased, and he sighed softly: "Yes, I always come and go when he is called, the dignified son, you must be very unhappy with me, right?" β
Throwing a stool from the Chaos Bead and sitting down, Xiao Ruo held his chin and continued to talk to himself: "Mr. Charlie seems to be a viscount, Alice?" He is too, why would he be your butler......"
After muttering for a long time, Xiao Ruo finally realized that she was really making a fool, or maybe Anthony stayed with her for too long, and he was so decisive when he left, that she lacked a sense of reality for so long. The people around her, whether it was Li Muyun, Yang Bing and Wen Changzong, couldn't understand how important Anthony was to her, only Alice would understand, but this person was no longer there.
"Alice, I'd better tell you about my family. I found my mom, well, actually, she found me. And grandpa, you must be very happy to hear the news, right? Although he is a bit hypocritical, he is also a good grandfather now. Well, and grandpa, by the way, and Arthur's dad, we...... Alice, what do you think I'm going to do......"
In fact, this scene seems terrible to outsiders, after all, a person nags at a coffin, cries and laughs for a while, frowns from time to time, or clenches his fists angrily, how weird it looks. It is estimated that Xiao Ruomo will be stunned.
Xiao Ruo, who opened the chatterbox, couldn't stop until his mouth was dry and he almost completely told his experience after leaving the UK, and at this time two hours had passed.
"Alice, if you knew I was doing such a stupid thing, would you die of laughter?" Xiao Ruo shook his head helplessly, put Alice's coffin into the Chaos Bead, and then put on a similar one before opening the door and leaving.
Seeing the two people who were still guarding the door, Xiao Ruo smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, two, because I really can't help it, I just said a few more words to the former head of the family, please don't be surprised." The main burial chamber is intact, and the two can rest assured. β
The two nodded understandingly: "The head of the family doesn't have to be polite. β
"Then I'll leave first. Please let the others know that there have been a lot of major incidents recently, and earthquakes may happen again, so please pay attention to your safety. The safety of the cemetery is up to you. Xiao Ruo finally owed the two of them and said solemnly.
"This is my duty to wait, please rest assured, head of the family."
Saying goodbye to the two of them and leaving the cemetery, Xiao Ruo, who came to the ground, only felt refreshed, and even the gray sky became cute.
It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of relaxation. Alice, I'll get you back.
Thinking about the magic of his own cheap teacher, Xiao Ruo is very sure of this. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
