Chapter 2 The Hidden Crisis
The plan of the day is in the morning, and the morning is always so beautiful, but for Leo, today is a memorable day and a sad day.
Leo and Norton ate breakfast on the table, and Leo took the creamed sandwich, took a sip of milk from his own cow, and took a bite of the sandwich.
Then Leo yawned and somehow felt tired, like running a marathon.
And I seem to have heard something strange in my dream, and I can't remember it!
Norton ate his sandwich quickly and elegantly, suddenly put it down, looked at Leo and said, "I'm going to take you home today." ”
Leo was surprised, not knowing what Norton was trying to do, and his face had a classic black question mark face???
"Isn't this our house?" said Leo, confused.
"No, it's where I grew up, and you're going to live there in the future. Norton explained.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me before?" Leo wondered even more.
"You were too young to know," Norton explained again.
Leo was silent again: "......"
"Okay, let's say goodbye to everyone after breakfast, we probably won't be back in the future......"
When Leo heard this, he quickly ate the sandwich in two bites, and then ran out.
Norton shook his head: This kid really is.
In fact, Norton didn't want to end his quiet life and go back, because he knew that if he went back, he would never be able to live the life he wanted in this life, but there was no way for Leo.
"Ugh......," Norton sighed.
It all started last night, when Norton had just finished his last experiment and was about to go back to bed, when he passed by Leo's room when he heard a strange noise.
Like a cry and a telling, like a tempting and sinking demon whispering......
If it weren't for Norton's perennial exposure to things related to evil gods, he might have ignored them as rumors.
Thankfully, Norton found out, and Norton opened the door and saw a horrible scene, a dark figure lying in Leo's ear, telling something.
Leo, on the other hand, had a hideous face, roaring silently, the veins in his head fluttering like dragons, and his red eyes staring at this Norton, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Norton was so frightened that he rushed up with an arrow and threw the strange expulsion spell directly at the black shadow, but the black shadow disappeared in the moment he was about to encounter it, and what was even more tricky was that at this time, Leo had already burst out and roared towards Norton.
"Wake up Leo......"
Unmoved, Leo continued to attack and roar like a beast, causing Norton to dodge left and right for a while, but he didn't dare to make a move.
Norton saw that the call was useless, a mysterious alchemy circle emerged from under his feet, a flash of light flashed, Leo was trapped by a steel chain, Norton hurriedly pressed Leo's head, and launched a spell to eliminate evil.
Leo quieted down, but the strange situation on his body was still not resolved, and Norton realized that this was the same as his blood boiling at the beginning.
There is no way, Norton has to temporarily seal Leo, and then seek a solution from the family, Norton is also very irritable, the curse of the family bloodline should not be so early!
It must be the dark shadow, yes, but unfortunately I didn't catch it......
Norton smiled wryly: It's really hard to think about living an ordinary life!
At this time, Leo was saying goodbye to the people in the village.
"Goodbye village chief with a sheepbeard, I'm leaving today......"
"Fat aunt, I'll miss your ......"
"Sister Catherine, you have to find someone to marry quickly......"
"Little ghosts, don't miss me, I'll write to you......"
"Teacher Amogan, although you are very annoying, I also want to say thank you!"
After saying goodbye to his friends one by one, Leo returns to the farm, with his rhubarb, big white, and little spots......
"I'm gone, rhubarb, you have to take good care of them~"
There was a human light in Rhubarb's eyes, as if he knew that this was separation, and he stuck out his tongue and licked Leo.
Leo reached out and touched Rhubarb's bull's head, and at this point, Norton also packed his luggage.
"It's time to go, Leo. Norton said.
"Well, I know, I'd just like to stay a little longer......" Leo said in a choked voice.
............
Norton led Leo and set up a carriage to the entrance of the village, where everyone was there.
Norton bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for taking care of our father and son for so many years, and for causing you a lot of trouble, and our father and son are very grateful! ”
After saying that, he drove the carriage away, and Leo suddenly shouted, "I really love you, help me take care of the rhubarb!" After speaking, tears filled his eyes, and tears overflowed involuntarily.
Norton comforted softly: "Life is inevitably full of joys and sorrows, and they don't want you to cry." ”
Leo choked up and said, "Can ...... But I just can't help but want to cry!"
People can be ruthless, and even Norton, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is a little sentimental.
Norton and Leo leave the village where they had lived for eight years and head to the nearest town, leaving behind a bunch of sobbing imps.
The carriage drifted away, and Leo could still hear the cows mooing on the farm......
Everything on the farm was restored to its original state, including the gloomy basement, and there was no trace of Leo and Norton's life, as if they had never been there......
The carriage was bumpy and the long journey was extremely boring for children, and Leo was no exception.
Leo asked Norton many questions on the way, most of them about where his father grew up, and Norton was not irritated and answered them one by one.
Norton hurried to the town before dark.
Near the gates of the town, Norton got out of the carriage and led Leo to the gates......
The guard said solemnly: "Please show your identification......"
I saw Norton take out a badge and ask, "Is that okay?"
The guard's heart was shocked at this time, and he hurriedly said, "This lord, please ......."
Norton said "um" calmly, the guards didn't even want to enter the city, and Leo also waived the line and entered the city in the envious eyes of the people around him.
When Leo saw this, he thought to himself: his father's identity may be more mysterious than he thought.
Entering the city gate, Norton first led Leo, who had been hungry for a day, to a restaurant for a meal, Leo said that it was unpalatable and not as delicious as Norton's cooking.
Then Norton called a carriage and threw a silver coin over.
"Hurry up, go to church......"
"Okay!!!" said the coachman, grinning from ear to ear.
There was another bump, and before Leo could see the sights of the town, he arrived at the church.
The magnificence of the church far exceeds that of the surrounding buildings, with two three-meter marble statues carved with the image of missionaries in front of the door, and a five-meter-high temple structure.
Leo got out of the carriage and Norton went straight into the church, straight to the point.
Missionary: "Do you need help?"
Norton folded his hands and bowed, "Yes, I want to borrow your church's teleportation array, and I will pay double the price......"
As he spoke, Norton pulled out a bag of gold coins, the sound of them clashing as if it were scratching people's hearts.
"Well, I'm going to ask the bishop......" said the missionary, hesitating.
"Trouble ......"
The interior of the church is also luxurious, with a red carpet and a tall gilded statue of the Lord of Light in the center.
After a while, the missionary came back and said, "Come with me, you two, this ......," and then walked to the back of the church, followed by Norton and Leo.
Leo was interested in the style of the church, and his big eyes were rolling.
After the missionary led the two to a small teleportation array with a diameter of three meters, he left with the gold coins.
The teleportation array was full of all kinds of strange runes, and there was a crystal pillar in the middle, on which was a crystal ball the size of a human head, and there were faint runes flowing in it.
Norton put his hand on the crystal ball, turned to Leo and said, "Get ready, it's time to start ......"
Leo was very excited to do this kind of fantasy for the first time.
Leo said excitedly: "Hmm!"
Then the entire teleportation array lit up and spun beautifully, and Leo looked at the wonderful scenery in front of him with a look of surprise.
Then there was a flash of bright light, and there were only a few bits of magic left on the magic array, and Norton and Leo were gone.
............
At the same time, the Adrian family of the Far East ......
Today is an important day, everyone is getting ready, all the servants are busy.
The servants were all talking in private, discussing who the big man was preparing for today.
One of the servants, who had some relationship with Marcy's housekeeper, said, "I heard that it is, the mysterious head of the house, Lord Norton......"
"Wow, it's fake!" the other servants looked incredulous.
Because with the exception of some of the older servants, these new servants in recent years have never seen the appearance of the head of the house.
At this time, a beautiful lady who looked like a middle-aged woman came over and reprimanded: "What are you doing here, don't you want to help, don't you want to do it?" The lady looked furious.
"Yes, Lady Anne......" The servants hurriedly withdrew to help.
The busy figures of the servants shuttled back and forth through the huge castle.
If there's one happiest Norton coming back, it's Dennis.
Dennis is a fat old man who is Leo's grandfather, who is Norton's father.
Dennis was once decadent because of the loss of his beloved wife, and then because of the conflict with his son, he was even more decadent and drank all day, and his once vigorous body gradually became obese because of alcoholism, and he completely lost his former demeanor.
However, at this time, Dennis was not only dressed in formal clothes, but also trimmed his messy hair and beard.
There is a rare anger in his eyes, not as lifeless as before.
All this is to welcome his son home, he has not seen his son for eight years, and the thoughts in his heart can be imagined.
The second happier is Daniel, who is Dennis's twin brother, which is extremely rare in the one-liner Adrian family......
Daniel and Anne have never had children, and have always treated Norton as their own.
In addition, Norton's grandfather, the legendary mage, Hugh, is also very happy.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, waiting for Norton's return......
