Fort Viscount Gru.

Bright morning.

A slightly pale Rory Grew was talking to his eldest son, Hayes.

The former was calm, but seemed a little lacking.

The latter lowered his head, and from Rory's point of view, his son's mood was not high.

"The next thing, you look at it yourself, you are already thirty years old, and you are a baron, a small village, whether you stay or give up, it will not hurt you much."

"I see, father, you have a good rest."

Viscount Gru coughed twice and waved his hand, signaling that he could go.

The expressionless Hayes took two steps back and suddenly asked, "One more thing, Father, does Andre's bloodline really carry a curse?" ”

"I don't know ...... either"

With that, Gru returned to looking down at the book of poems.

Afterwards, Hayes left the study and ordered his men to pack their belongings and return to the Baron's Castle.

......

A book of poetry reads.

Lory Grew stood in front of the window in his coat and basking in the sun.

"Ahem, ahem."

He coughed up a little bloody phlegm, and Robert, the viscount's butler, hurried over and offered a cup of tea to moisten his throat and dissolve his bruises.

Gru asked, "Hayes is gone?" ”

Robert, who was standing behind him, replied, "Yes, sir, the castle gate came out ten minutes ago." ”

With that, he placed a pocket watch on the Viscount's desk, and said with a smile, "This was given to me by Master Linton before he left, and it is rumored that it will bring good luck to his master." You know, I've always had bad luck, and it's useless to keep it......"

Gru said, "No, since it was given to you by Linton, the next time he comes over and finds that you are not wearing this watch, he will definitely be unhappy." ”

"Oh, by the way, he or Hayes, who do you think is better?"

Robert didn't dare to speak.

Viscount Gru looked back at him, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought, just ask, you can say what you think in your heart, it's okay to say it wrong." ”

Immediately, Robert smiled and said, "I dare not hide anything from you...... Speaking of excellence, Master Hayes must be superior to Master Linton, for he is the child of you and Madame and has inherited most of the good qualities of you and Madame. ”

"But...... Young Master Linton is young, malleable, looks very aggressive, and sometimes a little childish, but in fact his mind is very delicate. ”

"In addition, Young Master Linton has a good eye for people."

Gru: "You're saying he became a student of Li Cha?" ”

The silence on the other side is also a tacit acquiescence.

Seeing this, Lord Viscount shook his head again and again, "You should say that the kid was lucky to meet Li Cha Andre when he needed help the most. ”

"How many of the six children are left?"

"Three...... When the three knights' sons and daughters returned home, they committed suicide one after another; Also, in the morning, news came from Baron Saikun's castle that the baron's youngest son, Darlington, had a high fever last night, and it seemed that he was also thinking of suicide in his dreams. ”

That is, plus the ...... of suicide that night Jenny, more than half of the deaths involved in that incident? ”

Robert bowed, "That's right, sir. ”

The study returned to calm.

Rory Grew pushed open the window and looked in the direction of St. Ann's Village.

"Hayes was scared, he wasn't like me."

"Robert, aren't you afraid?"

The Viscount butler, who had bent over for several minutes, replied: "My life is worthless, but it is because of you that I have some value, and I should be happy to die a more valuable death, proving that Andre's curse is fierce." "Qiankun Listening Book Network

"And master, since it is suicide, it is useless for me to be afraid, according to the news from Lording City, only those who have actually hurt Lord Li Cha will be cursed, and I have not done anything."

Gru bowed slightly, "So that's what you think." ”

Nothing happened, Robert also retreated, and the guards at the door saluted.

Previously, the castle had to be respectful to the butler, because Robert was also the one who could decide whether they lived or died.

Now it's respect + fear.

Especially men who are not too old.

Then, Robert couldn't hold back his laughter, and his voice was not small.

......

Viscount's Study.

After Robert left, Rory Grew looked at the door for a long time and said a little incredulously, "When he was younger, he was there too...... I didn't think there was anything wrong with him...... It seems that I was negligent, no wonder Robert never married. ”

With a double slurp, Gru looked down at the wound in his armpit.

It was wounded by a wooden sword, and it was of moderate depth, but a little deeper could have hurt his lungs.

"Brother Doon once again gave me a bloody lesson, we are both about the same age, I thought I had caught up with him, but I didn't expect him to improve again, and even stepped on that step."

Two days ago, Rory had a fight with Doon.

It turned out that the former lost, and it was convincing.

The two of them knew very well that the strongest person was more of a title, and if Baron Bard was really strong enough to explode, even if he was low-key, those rumors that were unfavorable to Viscount Gru would not disappear.

It was Bard himself who said that he was old, and his brother Gru slowly followed in his footsteps and turned to the life of a laid-back lord, gradually fading out of sight.

From the growth to the peak and then to the decline, the human qi and blood are almost the same as the beginning and end of life.

The same goes for the natural increase and decrease of strength.

Rory Grew is a viscount and Bard is a baron, and the former has a natural advantage, so Gru thinks that his strength is very similar to Bard.

But that's not the case, Bard is much stronger than it was a few years ago.

Gru was inevitably curious.

So he asked.

Bard replied as well.

It's just that the answer is not so clear-cut.

"Perhaps André's most valuable asset is not what they left behind, but who they are," Bard said. ”

Thinking of the successive suicides, Gru said to Hayes, "A village doesn't lose much."

Previously, Gru, like many people, wanted Li Cha to die.

According to the selfish psychology of human beings, some precious things, even if they can't get them, will not be willing to let others get them.

Compared to others, Li Cha is the one closest to the estate of Baron Andrei.

But if ......

If the old baron's legacy is actually Andre himself, or their bloodline, Raven Andre is dead, and Li Cha is dead again, he can't go to the Golden Holy City and ask the domineering Marquis Andre what their family's secret is.

So, Li Cha can't die.

He is still young and needs time to grow.

The killer who had hurt him committed suicide, several children at the masquerade committed suicide one after another, and two people were still alive.

Although they are more than ten years older than before they came into contact with Li Cha.

"Let's see if Li Cha can live past the age of 20, only by living past the age of 20 can he be recognized by the real Andre."

"Moreover, I also have daughters, and my daughters are no worse than her cousins."
