Chapter 2: Happiness (1)
Hogg observed for a moment, and after a moment's shake, he descended the hill and walked towards the Baruch family's mansion.
After walking for a while, Hogg saw the Baruch family's mansion.
"It still hasn't changed, it's been a few years of hard work for Uncle Ciri and Hillman." Looking at the mansion, Hogg's eyes were a little complicated.
I saw that the walls of the mansion were entwined with various plants such as moss and creepers. The walls of the courtyard are full of traces of time.
Obviously, this mansion has not been repaired in recent years, and it is also that the Baruch family has been in decline for hundreds of years, especially in recent decades, and it has not been in decline, and the mansion is so big that it costs a lot of money to repair it once.
By the time Hogg left, the Baruch family didn't have much money left, and it was remarkable enough to be able to maintain normal expenses, let alone renovate the mansion.
At this time, the Baruch family did not have a single bodyguard, and Hogg was silent for a while, obviously, in order to save money, Hillman and Ciri's butler dismissed the original guard.
"Uncle, who are you looking for?" Hogg had just stepped into the mansion when a tiger-headed child said curiously with wide eyes.
The eyes are so clear.
A sense of blood connection arose, and at the first sight of this child, Hogg knew in his heart that this was his second child, Wharton Baruch.
"Tell uncle, what's your name?" Hogg's eyes were a little complicated, with guilt and excitement, he touched Wharton's little head, pinched Wharton's nose and asked.
Wharton tilted his little head and thought for a moment: "Brother, Uncle Hillman, and Grandpa Ciri call me Wharton, and uncle can also call me Wharton, Wharton Baruch." ”
Wharton Baruch!
"Smack!" The butler Ciri, who was walking out with a glass of wine, saw the familiar figure in front of him, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the stone slab and shattered.
"Young Master!" Butler Ciri's eyes widened, his eyes full of shock and surprise.
Ciri, who is Hogg's father's entourage, grew up watching Hogg, four years ago Hogg left the town of Osan and said that he wanted the Warcraft Mountain Range, entrusting everything in the family to him and Hillman. Time passed, and although Ciri and Hillman didn't believe it, they actually knew that Hogg was likely to die in the Warcraft Mountains.
As long as you are a person from the Magnolia Continent, you know the horror of the Warcraft Mountain Range, which is the paradise of Warcraft, the forbidden area for humans, and I don't know how many people die in the Warcraft Mountain Range every year.
Hogg is only comparable to a sixth-level warrior, not very powerful, this is four years, there has been no news for four years, and it is very likely that he will die in the Warcraft Mountain Range.
Therefore, both Ciri and Hillman secretly vowed that even if they paid any price, they would pull Lin Lei and Wharton to grow up and inherit the Baruch family.
And now, Hogg has appeared, how this does not shock Ciri, how not to surprise Ciri.
"Uncle Ciri." Hogg smiled slightly, his eyes reddening slightly.
Yes, Hogg has long been integrated into this world, he accepts everything, Ray and Wharton are his children, Hillman is his brother, and the butler Ciri is also his relative.
"Wharton, call Father." The housekeeper Ciri saw that Wharton didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly pulled Wharton to teach.
"Father?" Wharton was a little overwhelmed, he knew that his companions wanted father and mother, but he didn't, he had asked Uncle Hillman and Grandpa Ciri, and he had asked his brother, and they all said that his father had gone to a far, far away place and would take a long time to return.
Hogg felt uncomfortable for a moment, and picked up Wharton with one hand and hugged Wharton tightly......
Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, the clock in the living room struck nine times, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Holding Wharton sleeping peacefully in his arms, Hogg spent more than half an hour teasing Wharton with a faint smile on his face, making Wharton recognize himself as a father, and Hogg felt some satisfaction in his heart.
"Hogg, we thought you would never come back for the past few years, and I really regret why I didn't stop you in the first place." At this time, Steward Ciri said softly, with some fear in his eyes.
Hogg's eyes became firm, and he said, "Uncle Ciri, even if I choose again, I will not change my original decision. The enemy we have to face is very strong, and if we don't become stronger, we can only survive in secret. Linna's revenge has to be avenged, otherwise I will be alive and will have to suffer all the time in my heart. ”
Hogg knows very well that although his soul has replaced the original Hogg, that Hogg's mind is very powerful and affects him all the time, and Hogg has two wishes, one is to cultivate Lin Lei and Wharton into adults, so that they can become strong and carry forward the Baruch family, and the other is to find out the culprit who killed his wife Lina and avenge Lina.
Now that he has become Hogg, he has to inherit these two great wishes.
"Alas, Clyde is a ninth-level warrior, Hogg you, how can you be his opponent." Steward Ciri sighed.
When Hogg left, he told Steward Ciri and Hillman that the enemy who killed Lina was Clyde, and if he never returned, he must tell the names of the enemies to Ray and Wharton when they grew up.
"Uncle Ciri, in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I activated my bloodline, and now my bloodline has reached the point where I can cultivate the 'Dragon Blood Secret Codex', you see." Hogg smiled slightly, placed Hogg on the chair, and then turned into a vindictive spirit.
Teal dragon scales covered Hogg's entire body, his hands and feet were covered with scales, and his nails were sharpened. A dragon tail also emerged from the tail, and a dragon horn also appeared on its forehead.
The eyes were black, with only the occasional glimmer of golden light.
Steward Xiri's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became extremely excited, "Ancestor bless, ancestor bless, my Baruch family has finally had a dragon blood warrior born, ancestors and ancestors, lord, have you seen it, the young master can finally cultivate the 'Dragon Blood Secret Codex' and become a dragon blood warrior." ”
Steward Ciri, who followed Hogg's father at a very young age, Hogg's father was not simple, although he was not bloodless enough to cultivate the 'Dragon Blood Secret Codex' to become a dragon blood warrior, but he fought in the army, and he actually trained his physical body to level seven.
Unfortunately, he disappeared when he was less than forty years old and has not been heard from since, and Hogg, who was a teenager, also took on the responsibility of the patriarch of the Baruch family.
"Is Ciri there?" A clear voice sounded, there was no one guarding the door of the Baruch family mansion, and it was obvious that this guest had already arrived in the front yard of the mansion.
Steward Ciri was stunned, and his face became complicated.
"Oh, it's Hogg, my dear friend, and yesterday morning I heard the cry of the silk bird, and I knew that something happy would happen, but I didn't expect you to come back, dear friend." A middle-aged man with long blond hair and an aristocratic temperament came over and hugged Hogg with a happy face.
"Oh, it's Philip." Hogg smiled faintly.
Philip, Hogg knew, a minor nobleman with a fiefdom of twelve towns, who had repeatedly tried to win over Hillman to be the captain of his guard.
"How about it, Hogg, do you want to sell the stone carving 'Fierce Lion' to me, you know, although I like the stone carving 'Fierce Lion' very much, but I have to say that the carving technology of this stone carving 'Fierce Lion' is not the top, let alone compared with those stone carving masters, so I can only pay 1,000 gold coins, which is already a very high price." Philip said with a smile as his eyes narrowed.
He knows very well that this stone carving 'fierce lion' is good, it is a fine product, if you meet a buyer you like, it is not difficult to sell it for one or two thousand gold coins. However, the Baruch family has declined, and can only survive by selling the goods left by their ancestors, so they can keep the price as low as possible.
"Philip, ...... today" Ciri's butler was a little embarrassed.
Hogg didn't wait for Steward Ciri to finish speaking, and then interrupted Steward Ciri's words: "Philip, my friend, I came back from the Warcraft Mountain Range yesterday and made a small fortune, so I immediately thought of you and invited you over, haha, Uncle Ciri, you go and buy a table of dishes, I haven't seen Philip for a long time, I have to have a good chat with him." ”
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his body and handed it to Steward Ciri.
This money bag contains 1,000 gold coins.
"You keep this magic crystal Uncle Kahiri, there are 100,000 gold coins in it, you go and ask some people to repair the courtyard." Hogg took out another magic crystal card from his bosom and handed it to Steward Ciri.
This magic crystal card is one of the five magic crystal cards obtained from the killers he killed, and it contains 100,000 gold coins.
Philip's eyes shrank, and the smile on his face stiffened.
100,000 gold coins, which is a lot of money, although he has a wealth of 300,000 gold coins, but the cash is only 30,000 or 40,000 gold coins, and the rest are mostly some works of art and manors.
Obviously, things were different from what he thought, and it seemed that Hogg had really made a fortune in the Warcraft Mountains.
"Haha, congratulations Hogg." Philip immediately laughed, as a nobleman, even if he had a superficial idea, he would not express it.
Philip chatted with Hogg for a while, and then took his leave: "Hogg, it suddenly occurred to me that there was something I needed to deal with immediately, and I would come back to you another day. ”
"That's right." Hogg pondered for a moment, "Okay, it's important, if you have time, bring the children over to play, I remember that your little John and my Lin Lei were born on the same day and the same year." ”
"Okay." Philip said with a smile, and then left the Baruch family mansion with the guard.
Hogg carried the sleeping Wharton back to the house, put Wharton on the bed, and then left the ancestral hall to offer a handful of incense to the ancestors of the Baruch family.
"Lin Lei has now obtained the 'Coiling Dragon Ring', and I don't think the trajectory will change." Hogg pondered.
There is a corpse of a Tyrannosaurus rex in his spatial belt, and it is easy to make Lin Lei 'drink dragon blood' and become a dragon blood warrior, but Hogg doesn't want to do this, because he knows that Lin Lei's magic talent is good, if he changes Lin Lei's trajectory, maybe when Lin Lei is fifty years old, Lin Lei may not necessarily become a holy area.
