In the depths of the night, Hawke lay quietly on his bed, next to the small snack sent by Aunt Bei, warm and warm with a certain sweetness, just take a bite to feel, the sweet pumpkin taste, people have a kind of mother's taste, and he and little Cade are deeply intoxicated.

Turning his head slightly, little Cade was still gently turning the pages, making a slight "whoosh" sound, his thin body was so serious, as a high-achieving student with excellent learning, little Cade would not let go of any opportunity to learn, especially in front of Uncle Jax's house, which has a lot of books in all aspects. After all, he is a grain merchant with a small amount of assets, and Uncle Yax will often read some books to enrich himself.

Although this kind of reading books actually doesn't make Uncle Yax, who has much good aristocratic etiquette, and is not even as good as little Cade, a high-achieving student from a civilian background, I have to say that there are still many books on this subject and they are quite comprehensive.

When Aunt Pei brought snacks, she also thoughtfully gave little Cade a few thick books, all about aristocratic etiquette. She also already knew that little Cade needed to go to the royal capital to study. And it is not comparable to Black Lake City, especially the noble nobles in it, almost all of them have a lot of backstage, although most of them are court nobles who have no territory and real power, but in some ways they are still not comparable to little Cade.

"That's actually good, isn't it?"

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Hawke didn't say much, just lay quietly on the bed and pillowed his two arms, watching little Cade gently turn the pages of the book, frowning and learning, he felt quite warm: "Although it is difficult, it is still fulfilling and beautiful, isn't it?" ”

Thinking softly, Hawke closed his eyes, but he was not completely intoxicated, and with the experience of his previous life, he could clearly know that this was only a superficial calm. Maybe that's all right, but if there is a sudden change, these seemingly calm phenomena will instantly become roaring waves that can set off tens of meters high, drowning anyone who dares to indulge in them in the boundless sea and huge waves!

This is still a cannibalistic society, cannibalism alive, as long as there is no time to protect one's own strength, don't have much confidence in this world, at least although Hawke likes this atmosphere very much, but for the sake of his relatives, he is not willing to sink into it and become an ordinary person.

Touching his pocket slightly, a warm feeling was washing through his body, transmitted through his heart to the whole body, making him feel quite comfortable without fear of the cold. It's not just the comfort of warmth, or even a kind of pleasure from the soul, even his blood is gently swaying with that warmth.

That's right, it's the swaying of pleasure, the excitement of the blood that even Hawk can feel, rushing rapidly in the veins in his body. However, the game system did not give many prompts, and this point was lost in the palm of his hand when Hawke absorbed the "Heart of Nature".

However, Hawke didn't dare to take it out, just rubbed the ring lightly through his pocket, not afraid that little Cade would see it, this was to protect him, Aunt Pei and Uncle Jax. The ring was not a good item, and even in the mouth of the previous Bishop of Arcos, he had heard words about the betrayer.

The betrayer of the Temple of Light just listened to Hawke's heart with some kind of surprise. In this country where the God of Light is the main body, it is obviously absolutely impossible for the betrayer of the God of Light to appear, especially the so-called betrayer, or the priest of the God of Light, and this is even more incredible, and it also makes Hawke dare not make any moves.

Even thinking back to the powerful Jason Templar before, for the complicated eyes of that corpse, Hawke could also find that there was definitely something inside to it, although he didn't know the specific situation, but he understood that the things in his hands that could make him feel the pleasure of blood were not so easy to take.

But Hawke also understands that the ring in his hand is not felt by the priests of the god of light, even if he stays on his body, he doesn't have to worry about being found. Otherwise, the group of priests would have found the ring he had hidden in the grass before.

"Huhu-ha-"

Hawke was resting on his arm and thinking softly, when he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be ringing in his ears, not loud but just enough for him to hear. Suddenly opened his eyes, Hawke stood up directly on the bed, because in the moment just now, another faint voice sounded in his ears.

"Brother Hawke, what's wrong?" Little Cade, who was studying, looked at it suspiciously, and Hawke's sudden and violent movements just now made him obviously a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but put down the aristocratic etiquette book in his hand, turned his head and asked suspiciously: "Haven't you eaten enough, Brother Hawke?" ”

There was still a small snack next to Hawke, and he hadn't moved a bite, little Cade looked at the small wooden plate next to him, there were only some residues left in it, he couldn't help licking his lips, shrugged helplessly, and said softly: "If you want to find food, Big Brother Hawke should be careful of Uncle Yax's reprimand, you must know that he is very unhappy now." ”

"Hungry? No, no, not for this reason. ”

Hawke frowned slightly, looking at little Cade's puzzled look, obviously not hearing what he had just heard, he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and shook his head gently, but secretly he was a little alert. He asked softly, "Little Cade, did you hear something?" ”

The faint voice just now was simply spoken in his ear, even like when he was a child, covering his ears and carefully saying it to his playmate. But Hawke wasn't a child either, and he could sense the direction of the sound and the flow of air he exhaled as he spoke.

And the voice just before, not to mention that there was no air flow, even the direction of the sound was a little uncertain, as if it came from the soul, which couldn't help but make him sit up in horror, because this kind of sound was simply beyond the scope of his feelings!

"No, Brother Hawke, there's no sound, wait."

After listening to it for a while, little Kaede pursed his mouth slightly, and just wanted to say something, but he paused slightly, and his face suddenly showed a different color, just now he also heard a certain sound, and it was also a very subtle feeling, so he quickly nodded: "I heard it!" Sure enough, there was a voice! ”

But before Hawke could ask anything, little Cade pointed in the direction above his head and said helplessly, "Doesn't Uncle Jax understand that those rats run on the rooftops of the house and don't know how to have a cat to catch them?" ”

Slightly stunned, Hawke looked up at the sky, and suddenly found that in his dragon vision, seven or eight mice were running quickly on the beams of the house, and in groups, that feeling couldn't help but make him have a strange face, nodded and agreed: "Even in our family, there are not so many mice." ”

However, those rats behaved a little strangely, but the night was also the time when rats liked to move, and Hawk only lay down on his bed again, thinking about the sound just now, he always felt that the sound just now was not just the sound of rat activity.

In particular, the kind of communication that was close to the soul level surprised Hawke himself, because he could hear it clearly, although the sound was small, but the rats could not make such a sound, and Hawke was sure that even he himself did not fall into some kind of confusion.

What flows in his body is the blood of Alduin, and only this bloodline has a great resistance to enchanting illusions, not to mention other bloodlines, and even the current Hawke is almost directly immune to those low-level illusions.

"Murray--Ter-"

But in an instant, another faint voice made Hawke open his eyes again, and looked directly at the ceiling, this voice he heard more clearly, and there was a vague feeling still emerging in his heart, and this feeling instantly made him hold his pocket, and streams of heat were circulating in his body.

It was the ring, Hawke felt very clearly where that sound came from this time, and slowly sat up, Hawke moved his neck slightly, and he suddenly found that the sound was coming out with the rapid flow of blood in his body, and the regularity was also slight.

"Little Cade, I'll go out to breathe, you can sleep first."

Hawke got dressed gently, came to the window and smiled at little Cade, stretched out his finger and pointed to the night outside, shrugged his shoulders with envy, and said softly: "Black Lake City is much better than ours, I want to go shopping, anyway, we don't have many opportunities to come every year." ”

"Oh, okay." Little Cade nodded, usually Hawke likes to go out for a walk at night, he didn't ask much, just replied with a smile: "Of course, Aunt Bay and Uncle Yax asked, I would say that we were asleep." ”

Nodding, Hawke jumped out of the window directly, turned over two deftly, hid himself in the darkness on both sides of the road, bent down slightly, he looked at the street in front of him that was already in pitch black, looked up at the sky full of dark clouds, slowly bent down, and whispered:

"Stealth, launch!"
