Volume 1: Through the Demon Race Chapter 4: Step by Step
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the whole of Britain in an instant, followed by a thunderclap and a heavy rain.
At Her Majesty's birthday banquet, all the families who received the invitation stickers attended on time, except for the Duke and Duchess of the Garfield family and the Marquis Calvin, except for the Earl of Troy, no matter how unfavorable, he couldn't even attend this kind of banquet, unless he was imprisoned in his own room by those people, in order not to let him attend the banquet.
At this time, the Garfield Mansion, in Troy's bedroom, may have been in disrepair, the smooth surface of the wall has begun to peel off, revealing the original uneven cement inside, even the corners of the walls are covered with spider silk, and even the windows are just decorations without glass to protect from the wind and rain, only the strong contrast with these broken is the four dew-stained red roses in the flower pot above the windowsill.
Sherlock looked at the three people over there with a guiltless smile on his face, a hint of sarcasm crossed his eyes, and under the beautiful appearance was hidden a heart that was a hundred times uglier than a bed bug, but he himself was not the same, in order to take revenge, in order to survive, his hands were stained with blood, and the people who had insulted him and trampled on him were sent to the eighteen layers of hell one by one.
However, what about selfishness, what about meanness, he Shylock has never been a noble person, and if he can't even protect himself, what is the use of being so tolerant and merciful, it is simply ridiculous.
Doris's clear and translucent ice blue eyes roamed around, as if she was looking for someone, but she couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she couldn't see Troy, obviously he was imprisoned again.
She is the daughter of the Reginod family, Duke Rex, and the fiancée of the Marquis Calvin, but when she saw Sherlock, she suddenly remembered that the other party was a famous contractor, and maybe looking for him could help Troy not have to live this kind of life again, but the other party had nothing to do with them, so what obligation did she have to help her? But if you don't try, how do you know that Sherlock won't help?
She tried to make a very natural expression, and her steps quickened significantly, but just as Doris was about to get closer to the other.
Leng Buding had a person in front of her, this person was dressed in a light blue dress, and his face was handsome who could not be her fiancé Calvin, at this time, he turned his head and glanced at Sherlock not far behind him, under the light, the other party's white face was as clear as crystal, and it seemed that the blue eyes were like gems, there was a thrilling power, Calvin had to admit that the other party's appearance could be called perfect, but no matter how handsome the appearance was, a person with blood-stained hands and murderous people.
Then he returned his gaze to Doris, and asked with a hint of questioning in his tone: "Did you just want him to save Troy out, but my father, the person who locked Troy in the room, is also with him." ”
Doris looked around to make sure that no one had rested here, so she looked at the other party and said coldly: "How do you know it's impossible." ”
The smile on Calvin's face became very indifferent, he didn't understand that the other party was obviously his fiancée, but he was obsessed with Troy, this was simply a great humiliation for him, if the other party was not imprisoned today, he would not let the other party successfully participate in this banquet, otherwise, Doris's eyes would be even more intolerant of himself, so if Edward did not imprison Troy, he would also let the other party die here: "You think that Ford Heslett has nothing to do with you, and he will be so kind to help you."
Doris's personality is completely different from the gentleness and grace of other daughters, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows with a hint of disdain: "Do you think everyone is like you?" Although I am nominally your Calvin's fiancée, in fact, I don't want to have anything to do with you, so from now on, my affairs have nothing to do with you. ”
Before the other party could react, he had already bypassed him and walked forward quickly.
Calvin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, it was the first time he had been degraded as worthless by a girl in front of so many people, and the other party was the one who was going to be with him soon. Calvin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, it was the first time he had been degraded as worthless by a girl in front of so many people, and the other party was the one who was going to be with him soon.
Sherlock looked at the girl who suddenly walked towards him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, this person was not Doris, the daughter of the Reginord family who was pursued by Kevin, and the other party suddenly asked him to do something, could it be for Troy.
The glow of the moonlight shone through the window into the bedroom, and Troy looked at the locked door, with nothing but moonlight around him, and he couldn't understand why he and Calvin were both part of the family, and his father and mother treated him like enemies.
Through the moonlight, you can see that he has wounds all over his body, and the dark blue clothes on his body have become a little black because they are dirty and washed, washed and dirty, and he turned his head inadvertently, but saw a black Western sword falling from the sky The tip of the sword pierced deeply into the ground, and then, a black figure fell lightly on the hilt of the sword, and a purple six-pointed star contract seal appeared under the toe,
Those blue diamond-like eyes looked cold and faint in the dark, not like the eyes of a normal human being, just when he thought that Edward had hired someone to get rid of him, the other party asked, "Do you want to go out?" ”
Troy was stunned for a moment, looking at the other party's blue eyes like an abyss, as if his entire soul would be sucked into it in the next moment, and with a powerful magic power, he nodded subconsciously.
Suddenly, he only felt that his whole body seemed to be suspended in the air all of a sudden, and in the next second, he had already appeared at the banquet dressed in fine clothes, and the surroundings didn't seem to notice it, and before he could come back to his senses in shock, Doris had already run towards him with a smile on her face.
And if you want to say that the most ugly faces are the three Edwards, Calvin can't believe what he sees with his eyes, what is going on, what kind of person is this Sherlock, and he really brought people here unconsciously.
Seeing Doris's smug eyes, he couldn't help but hate to death, and considering the banquet of Her Majesty the Queen here, he could only hold it down for the time being, and then let the Troy god disappear unconsciously, and a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "He is mine." ”
That's it, Sherlock is just an ordinary human being, where can there be any magic, this time, Troy is just lucky to be escaped by him, and when he returns, he will feel better, coupled with Doris's attitude towards Troy and the extreme coldness and a trace of contempt when he treats himself, he can't wait to let Troy die in front of him immediately.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Sherlock's extremely cold eyes not far ahead, and he couldn't help but be startled, although the other party had a smile on his face, but the smile made his back cold, and a trace of fear rose in his heart, and he subconsciously turned away his eyes from the other party, just now it was really not an illusion, the other party was clearly saying that if he Calvin dared to move a hair of Troy, even if he was missing a piece of skin on his body, he would have to let Calvin pay it ten times the price, which was simply an undisguised threat.
At half past nine, the banquet finally ended, and the Duke of Edward, the Duchess of Francis, and Calvin were ready to leave Troy behind, and then ride back in the carriage themselves.
At this moment, Alfred's voice sounded on the side: "Don't worry, we have an obligation to protect the lives of Troy." ”
Doris looked at the other party and felt very surprised, and couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a while, and suddenly remembered that Troy had told him that when he was rescued from that room by Sherlock, he had promised to sign a contract with him, which meant that one day when Sherlock was there, Troy would live well, and he would never have to live the same life as when he was in Garfield's mansion before.
Only then did he feel relieved to take the carriage with his family and gallop all the way to the Reginold mansion.
Sherlock looked at Troy and asked, "Do you still want to go back to Garfield?" If you want, I can send you back now, just call me by name when you need me, and I will be there for you at any time. ”
Troy shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to go back, there's no need, it's not my home at all." ”
Edvina was a little surprised: "Are you sure?" ”
Troy replied resolutely, "Sure." ”
Suddenly, there were countless black shadows rushing towards this place at an incredible speed, Troy didn't have to think about it to know that these killers were sent by Calvin to put him to death, a sword light flashed, he saw the sharp tip of the sword coming towards him, and when he thought that blood was going to be splattered on the spot, at this moment he only heard a crisp sound of "ding".
The long sword in Sherlock's hand instantly separated the other party's sword that stabbed at Troy, the man in black didn't expect that the other party's strength was incomparably great at a young age, and he forced him to take a few steps back before he could barely stand firm, and before he could react, he suddenly saw a flash of white light, and his entire body was cut in two by the opponent's sword, and a stream of hot blood splashed out.
The Western sword in his hand was extremely sharp, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people in black had been killed, but at this moment, a black shadow flickered past him, and suddenly grabbed Troy's neck with one hand, knocking him into the wall behind him, the long sword in the other party's hand was raised high, and it was about to fall, a purple light, the right hand of the long sword held by the man was completely cut off, blood splashed, and after the purple light was Sherlock's cold, handsome face.
The man in black suddenly let out a terrible scream like killing a pig, and the whole person fell straight down, and there were originally more than thirty people in black, but in the blink of an eye, there were only five left.
"Whoosh!"
Five ropes flew out of the darkness, unwittingly wrapping the necks of the five men in black, Sherlock put away his sword and ordered, "Alfred, eradicate them all!" ”
“yes,my lord。”
Then he waited in the carriage with Troy.
Troy looked at him and suddenly asked, "Sherlock, are you really human?" ”
Sherlock was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to ask about this, but it seemed that there was nothing to hide, so he just said, "It used to be, and now it is not." ”
Troy continued to ask: "What about ———you?"
Sherlock replied lightly, "I heard that your father, Duke Richard, and your sister, and brother all died accidentally. ”
Now Troy didn't think that this was a past that Sherlock never wanted to mention, at this time, the other party's face seemed to have become a little ugly, but fortunately, Alfred changed the subject in time: "But you have now signed a contract with my young master, and I will protect you before I help you realize your wish." ”
It is rumored that they died accidentally, but in fact, the truth is that Sherlock personally sent them to their death.
Troy was almost completely stunned, he couldn't remember how many years no one had said the last words to him, just about to speak, the carriage slowly stopped, and then the door on his side was opened, Troy just stepped out of the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a black suit, this person, but he was the butler Michelle who had always been with him when he was in the Garfield Mansion, and he thought that he would never see each other.
At the same time, he was also puzzled, how did Sherlock know about this, he didn't seem to have said it, but forget it, it doesn't matter anymore.
Troy seemed to remember something, and his face was puzzled: "If they knew that Butler Michelle had suddenly disappeared, wouldn't they doubt it?" ”
Edwina looked confident: "Don't worry, they will never find out in the short term." ”
Troy looked at the other party with a confident look, but he was even more puzzled: "Why? ”
Edvina was also patient: "Because, when they know the great gift that Sherlock has prepared for them, they will no longer be in the mood to care about these things." ”
Sherlock gave her a cold look, as if to say, "You're talking too much," and Edwina shut up very knowingly.
In the Garfield Mansion, Calvin had already changed into pajamas and returned to the room as soon as he turned on the light, and his face changed when he was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that on the walls, on the wardrobe, and on the floor, there were bloody corpses, blood dripping down drop by drop, blood was flowing crookedly on the wall, and what was even more strange was that these corpses were actually the men in black who he sent to get rid of Troy.
Immediately frightened, he shouted loudly: "Andy! ”
Andy rushed to hear the sound, and he was shocked when he saw this scene, and he couldn't say a word for almost half a day, what was going on? How could all of these people be dead, and their corpses still appeared in Calvin's room unconsciously, he suddenly remembered that when he was preparing dessert for the other party, he had seen a handsome young man, and this person had been seen by Sherlock's side, no need to think, this was Sherlock's ghost again, but how the other party did it.
