The funeral of old Chacus came to an end.

Relatives and friends return to Chacus Manor, and after dinner, they disperse and return to their original work, study and life.

In the evening, the long dining table in the manor dining room was filled with family and friends.

There are multiple long tables spliced together and covered with white tablecloths, and dozens of people can sit on each side except for the end of the table.

As the new baron who is about to inherit the title and the current leader of the Chacus family, Hilbert sits at the top.

As the last meal after bidding farewell to the old baron, Chacus Manor attaches great importance to it, and some of the old baron's old friends may not be able to see each other in the future.

Dinner was led by Manor Chef Portman, who hired a team of chefs from several restaurants in the city, and with the exception of some British traditional "dark cuisine", the rest of which was more world-famous and diverse.

There are steaks that are pan-fried whole and cooked to the liking of friends and family, secret foie gras and caviar, and popular Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour pork ribs and kung pao chicken.

At the table, the atmosphere was harmonious, and they talked and told some interesting stories and the past.

Hilbert slipped the steak and stared at his glass intently as he ate.

Hilbert didn't say anything about killing evil spirits with his own hands, including his own mother, for the time being, not because he didn't want to share the message.

But there must be a reason why the family has not had such a magical power outside the world in such a long time.

As the mysterious man said, this is a power that belongs to the bloodline of the Chacus family.

Hilbert shook his hand, which was still sore.

From now on, the Chacus family will be carried by me.

He stood up, raised his glass, and gently tapped the wall with a fork.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"

The crisp sound caught everyone's attention, and the restaurant gradually fell silent.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my father's funeral, as a direct lineage of the Chakus family... I hope you can... ”

In fact, it is also a bunch of polite words, which Hilbert didn't like before, but now he learns to control it.

In this process, as if he was dual-minded, talking about this, his mind recalled the figure of his father on important occasions in the past.

'Am I really qualified to stand here like him?'

In the past, it was not only the self-righteous responsibilities that were evaded, but perhaps some deeper things, all of which were carried by the tall back alone!

As a son, as the direct bloodline of the Chacus family, he should have shared it for his father.

Tonight, Hilbert is inevitably sentimental.

Mother Mansa is relieved by her son's true maturity.

"Hilbert, you have grown up at last, and your father will be proud of you when he sees it, and how he wishes to see this day, this nightmare disease... ”

Hilbert suddenly reached out and grabbed his mother's arm, steading his breath a little heavily.

"Mother, father didn't die of disease!"

The voice was low, but unusually firm.

Seeing his mother's worried face, he reached out with his other hand to hold his mother's hand.

"Mother, believe me, I'm not crazy, I'll tell you what I found when dinner is over. ”

Collini, who was sitting next to Mansha, was old, but his hearing and eyesight had been well maintained, and he could vaguely hear Hilbert's words.

Watching Chrisman Chacus grow up, he feels more like a father and son than a master and a servant.

So when the family and friends dispersed one after another in the evening, Collini did not choose to leave, and Hilbert and his mother naturally did not dare to leave.

。。。

In the living room, where the coffin had been placed, the three of them sat by the fireplace, their mothers Mansa and Collini with their mouths wide open, and their faces became even more worried.

"Child, actually, you ... You don't have to be like this, it's all over ... ”

Hilbert knew he didn't believe himself when he saw his mother like this.

"But Mother, I came down last night, and I saw it with my own eyes, and the foul smell on the ground in the morning, have you forgotten, it is the evil spirits that have been killed by their own hands!

The Baroness was a little worried, even a little scared.

"Hilbert, I'm worried about you doing this... The Chacus family is just ordinary nobles, and there are no secrets... ”

Obviously, Mansha's imagination of the paint ash and her son's lethargy as an adverse reaction caused by her son's inability to stand the stimulation is already a bit crazy.

Mother's distrust made Hilbert mad, but he didn't know how to convince her, not to mention that he couldn't use last night's strength for a while, even if he could use it, thinking about the sequelae and the soreness and fatigue in his body now, the consequences of really using it were probably very serious.

And the mysterious man also gave him advice, this horror is not only in terms of physical fitness, but there may also be other indescribable hidden dangers.

Old Colini originally held the same opinion as Mansha, and was very worried about Hilbert's current situation, but when she heard Mansha say that the Chakus family had no secrets, her heart suddenly couldn't help but jump a few times.

"Madame... Perhaps, the Chakus family is not without secrets... ”

"What!" "What?"

Hilbert and his mother spoke together, the former excited and surprised, the latter full of doubt.

The elder Corini has been in the Chakus family for much longer than Mansha, growing up with Hilbert's grandfather since childhood, and counting the current Hilbert Chacus, he has met five generations of barons from the Chacus family.

Looking at Mansha, who looked surprised, and then looked deeply at Hilbert, the old man seemed to fall into memory.

"Madame, how long has it been since you returned to the Chacus family's private island?"

Mansha thought for a moment and said embarrassedly.

"I've been there a few times, once when I'm married to Chrisman, and the next few times I've been on vacation, and I haven't been there for seven or eight years. ”

"Did you know that the castle on the island is maintained every year?"

This Mansa is still clear.

"The maintenance of the island's essential facilities is entrusted to the Barbucks Company, and £400,000 is set aside annually from Chacus Wine Estate. ”

Old Corini smiled and nodded.

"Yes ma'am, but you obviously rarely get involved in the accounts of the Chacus family, and now the maintenance fee has risen to 700,000 pounds a year, and I have been in charge of this since the sixties of the last century, even after leaving the Chacus family, Lord Baron... ”

The old man paused.

"Chrisman still puts me in charge of this, and I go to the island for a period of time every year... ”

He looked at Hilbert and smiled.

"It's also the most important childhood memory for me and your grandfather, and it seems like you haven't been to that island since you grew up. ”

Hilbert was a little embarrassed, the island was too far away and too remote, he didn't go there much when he was a child, and he didn't even go home much after high school, let alone go to the island, and now he almost forgot what it was like there.

Then the old man took a deep breath, and both Hilbert and his mother seemed to have a hunch that the next step was the secret of the Chacus family.

"Every year, one of the expenses is renovations, but the most important thing is some architectural coatings. ”

"I've only seen it twice, but if you scrape off the wall coating in many parts of the castle, the family crest will be revealed at the back... ”

The family coat of arms?

Hilbert looked at the sign hanging above the fireplace, the emblem of a lion holding a jewel.

Listening to the old man tell such a mystery, but the key, what is there to hide this?

Noticing his eyes, Collini smiled mysteriously.

"It's not this one, it's another family crest of the Chakus family, perhaps, that's the real historical imprint of the Chakus family!"

Mysterious and large, imposing patterns, even if I have only seen them twice, Collini will never forget them.

"That's the dawn ... ”

The maid came over to serve tea and coffee, and the old man remained silent for the time being.

Not far from the seats of the three of them, Qin Xiaoxia and Su Su sat on the comfortable sofa in such a grand manner, and even the maid served them tea and refreshments.

"I see. ”

Qin Xiaoxia took a sip of tea.

"It tastes good!"

Su Su ate two pieces of refreshments and listened to the old man with great interest.

"Mentor, no wonder Hilbert doesn't know anything!"
