"It's foolish to act rashly without intelligence, because life won't give you a second chance to make amends. ———— Thieves' Codex

Luo Lan put aside his doubts for a moment and walked all the way to the place he had just left.

Zod was anxious to see him, did he want to ask the reason why Lendit had fallen into dementia?

He had already arranged a set of safe statements about this, but he still casually asked the attendant who was passing the word next to him, "Did the Earl say anything just now?"

The attendant thought for a moment and said, "The master just asked the kitchen for a knife, but it's not meal time, it's really strange." ”

"Dinner knife!"

Luo Lan's heart beat violently a few times, as if he thought of something, but the door of Count Zod's room was already close in front of him, and he was no longer allowed to think too much.

A figure waiting there hurried up.

"Young Master, Agni, she ......" Tuz saw the thick bandage on Luo Lan's arm at a glance, and there were faint traces of blood left on it, and he couldn't say anything at once.

Luo Lan snorted and pushed the other party away unceremoniously.

Agnes suddenly found him, and nine times out of ten it was the old fellow's arrangement.

With Rundit's personality, he would not say such a shameful thing as being stabbed by a woman, and only someone who is extremely familiar with his personality would make such a clever arrangement.

He still underestimated Tuz, he could almost deduce that Tuz's next step must be to make Agnes disappear inexplicably, and he was afraid of face, so naturally he couldn't ask anything, so the verbal marriage contract between them still existed, but the truth was another matter.

The cunning old fox, it seems, he still doesn't want to bet entirely on himself.

However, Luo Lan does need Tuz's help, and he doesn't have the heart to dwell on this, as long as no one says anything on the surface, I believe that they will continue to maintain the current tacit understanding.

What's more, there is something more important waiting for him in front of him.

He took a deep breath and slowly pushed his hand towards the door.

In just a split second, countless possibilities passed through his mind.

The door opens.

"Father, I'm here. As soon as he stepped into the room, Luo Lan's face was piled up with a happy smile.

Out of professional habit, he first secretly observed the surroundings.

It was a dimly lit study, dull and obscure in Rundit's memory, and the original owner of the memory was sitting by the window as if he were the living dead, as if he could do nothing but breathe.

Zod was not as weak as he remembered when he was lying in bed, he was neat and in good spirits, and if you go back thirty years, he was also a personable and noble child.

The young servant stood beside the Earl, and his eyes made Luo Lan very unhappy, as if the latter had robbed him of something.

"My dear son, I heard you're hurt?" Zod asked with concern.

"A little trouble. Luo Lan smiled, and he subconsciously stroked the wound.

Zod chuckled softly, "Okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, you know, I shed a lot more blood for women when I was young than you did." He looked intently, "But there is something wrong with the bandage, it seems that the bleeding has not stopped," he pointed to the young servant next to him, "Let Emily take a look, and help you re-bandage it by the way." ”

Luo Lan's heart sank, he took a few steps back, and said, "Father, don't bother with these little things." ”

Count Zodd gave him a deep look and said lightly, "Since when has my well-behaved son stopped obeying my orders?"

Luo Lan's heart shook heavily.

What did he perceive?

"Emir. The Count commanded again.

Luo Lan suddenly found that the only window in this room that led to the outside was exactly where Rundit was sitting now, and Count Zodd was sitting three or four meters away from him, and there was a heavy cold wooden table between them.

And he was shocked to find that at some point, the door had been silently closed, and there was an extra person behind him!

The man's shadow was at his feet.

The cold air even made Luo Lan feel that the hairs on his body stood up slightly.

The person who was able to approach him without any movement like this was enough to show that the other party's martial arts skills were far superior to him.

Count Zod's gaze slowly fixed on Luo Lan, not knowing what he was thinking.

Watching Emir walk up step by step, the corners of Luo Lan's eyes twitched slightly.

With a sneer on his face, Emir slowly stretched out his hand, and he almost saw a flash of complete abandonment on the other man's face.

He lifted the other man's cuffs and ripped off the bandage without hesitation.

When the bandage was completely untied, the sight made him open his mouth wide and he was stunned for a moment.

There was no wound there, but a smooth and smooth piece.

The pressure on Luo Lan's body suddenly lightened.

The shadow is as it was when he came, and it disappeared without a trace.

"Father, you have exposed the family's secrets. Luo Lan calmly lowered the cuffs, then pointed at the emir with his hand and said, "I suggest that he should die!"

Emir's face turned pale, as if frightened by Luo Lan's words, and he took a few steps back in horror and knocked over a chair.

The sound startled the expressionless Rundit, who looked blankly to the place, but found nothing that attracted him, and turned his head back in a bored manner.

Count Zodd shook his head and smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The emir is not an outsider, he won't say it." ”

The emir didn't know where the courage came from, and couldn't help but say: "Since you can't be hurt at all, why do you have to bandage the wound?"

Luo Lan raised his arrogant eyebrows and sneered: "How can the secret of the noble bloodline of the Landiston family be known to lowly people?"

Emir's face turned red in an instant, and his eyes stared at Luo Lan like a breath of fire.

Luo Lan glanced at him contemptuously and let out a disdainful snort from his nose.

"Well, our future new earl should not lose his temper anymore. Zod smiled, then glanced at the emir, who immediately bowed his head without saying a word.

"What?" Luo Lan was shocked when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Father, what do you mean...... I, I ......"

"You heard me right," Zod nodded slightly, "I've made my choice." He glanced at Lundit with great regret: "Although your brother has the same talent as you, it is a pity that his current state is really not suitable to succeed me to the title. He sat in his chair and slowly turned half his body, pointed to an old map that was slightly yellowed on the wall, and said, "The Landiston family has its back to the Fee River, and every autumn the swamp tribes on the south bank invade all the territories of the Duchy of Aros, including us, so the family needs a strong and skilled new heir. ”

"But you still have a lot to learn, and your victory is only because your opponent is too weak," Zod shook his head at the idiot-like Rendit, "You know, your uncle was much better than him back then." ”

The successors of the Landiston family, each generation has been contested in a brutal competition. This is the law of survival that Zod truly believes in.

"Yes, yes. Luo Lan replied hurriedly, as if he was carried away by the shock and joy, and he didn't know what to say.

Obviously, Zod was very appreciative of his son's ability to do whatever it takes, and he smiled at his son, and he was probably even more excited about himself, right? ”

Luo Lan chuckled in his heart, there was always some special meaning in Zod's smile, which made him feel chills, and this feeling was stronger than the person who was standing behind him just now.

"Hehe," Zod actually laughed out loud, it seemed that he was in a good mood, took out a badge from his arms, he patted the armrest, and said, "Come, take the glory of the family." ”

Luo Lan's fingers trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, he stepped forward and took it calmly, lowered his head and prepared to continue listening to Zod's next words, but after waiting for a while, there was no longer any sound coming out.

He looked up in surprise, but was stunned to find that Zod, who was still in good spirits just now, had fallen into a stupor at the moment.
