Volume 1 The Noble Viscount Chapter 101 The Old Baron's Wish
This beautiful little garden is not in a good location, it is on the edge of the town of Stella, just in the opposite direction from the Burton Manor, and the long main street is the link between them.
In the garden, there was only one castle that looked old, and it had an old air of age, and although it was much larger than Bolton Manor, there were few servants, and it could be counted on ten fingers.
It's hard to imagine that this was also a baron's estate, and the small garden was very shabby compared to the castle in the middle of the town.
The Norman Baron was almost seventy years old, and had been in Stella for thirty years, and he had a prosperous city, and he had been an earl, with a vast territory and countless followers.
He enjoyed the glory and was a beloved nobleman of the people, and I don't know when Lady Luck suddenly left him, as if he had been cursed by a sorcerer, and the Grand Duke he followed no longer trusted him, and the other lords were also full of hostility towards him.
His beloved wife suddenly fell ill, and the last of his days were spent in pain, and Norman did not sleep for seven days, and then his eldest son, whom he had high hopes for, died on the way to glory.
He was brought to the battlefield by the Norman Archduke, and when the war ended, only corpses were brought back, and to add insult to injury, the Grand Duke was defeated.
Negative messages came frequently, and the spearhead was pointed at Norman, who did not defend himself with the Grand Duke and endured all this in silence.
The second son's fate was almost identical to that of his brother, who died in a counterinsurgency campaign, and sadly, not even his body could be found, and this defeat made the Grand Duke furious, and he felt that Norman's second son was the sinner of the campaign.
What a beautiful family, the wife is considerate and gentle, the five children are diligent and motivated, and he is an earl, no matter how you look at it, the Norman family should be strong.
The truth is so cruel that Norman becomes a lonely old man, his children are dead, he is exiled by the Grand Duke, and he can only spend the rest of his life in this remote town.
Thirty years ago, Norman on the way to the town of Stella had died, his heart was dead, and he no longer had any vitality. Gradually, he focused his life on planting flowers, day after day, year after year.
Until one day, a mysterious man visited him, and that night, they talked all night, and as for what the contents, no one knew, not even the servants.
"Do something for me, and I'll let you get what you want. ”
The two talked for a long time, and the mystery said his purpose, what an arrogant word, he was very sure, and he was very confident that Norman would not refuse.
"Do you know what I want?"
Norman didn't chase the other party away, and for some reason, the mysterious man's words were like a kind of magic that made him believe it.
"You are thinking about them, the souls of your loved ones will always return, and I have a way to resurrect them. ”
"Can you tell me who you really are?"
"Black Wizard, Vanderken Black Abyss, of course you haven't heard my name, it doesn't matter, you have plenty of time to think about it, I'll visit you again. ”
The owner of the little garden was alive again, but he chose to hibernate and rarely walked around the town, so much so that some had forgotten that such a baron still existed.
People's thoughts are endless, and most people will not hesitate to make a choice in the face of such a temptation that their loved ones can return to the world again.
Even if you know that there is an abyss in front of you, you still have no hesitation, you have been lonely for too long, and the thoughts that have been engraved into your soul cannot be removed, and any righteousness in the world will become insignificant compared to the truth.
"Even if I have to bear endless sins, I want to see you again, and no one can stop me. ”
A sudden light rain fell on the small town of Stella, the wet streets could not stop the flow of people, and the thriving trade here could not be affected by the weather.
Braving the rain, a group of more than thirty people slowly entered the small town of Stella, and the carriage they carried was empty, making the eyes of many merchants shine.
"Look, whose merchant house will they favor? ”
"Man, you can ask, maybe good luck will befall you. ”
"Spare me, I think those followers are a little scary. ”
"It shows that you are not stupid, even if it is a fat sheep, it depends on whether it is a gentle fat sheep or an angry fat sheep, don't let the gold coin rob your wisdom. ”
The party did not stay in the streets for long, and the stewards seemed to be familiar with the place, and in a short time they came to the caravan station.
This is where the small town of Stella rests for large caravanserais, and if you pay enough to sorb, you can settle here for a while.
"You're all staying here, and no one can leave without my permission, you know. ”
"Yes, Mr. Joed. ”
All the attendants respectfully assured the blonde youth.
"Very well, now I should inquire where the adults are. ”
After more than ten days, Joed finally came to the town of Stella, changed into civilian clothes, put on a waterproof robe, and stepped straight into the rain.
He brought all the supplies he could get back to Yali Village, and this time he selected thirty powerful slaves to accompany him, almost all of whom had the strength of junior warriors, to ensure that the materials purchased this time could be safely transported to the village.
Although it was raining, there were still a lot of people walking on the street, and after walking for a while, Joed opened the curtain of a tavern and walked in.
Perhaps because of the daytime, there were no customers in the tavern at this time, and a waiter was washing his cups in the bar.
"Excuse me. Joed sat at the bar.
"Welcome, what would you like to drink?"
"Bring me a beer. Joed dropped a few Kalou on the table, then looked around.
"It's a really disappointing day, I hate the rain. ”
The waiter pushed a glass of beer to the other party and said with a smile: "Who isn't, the business of the tavern will be greatly reduced when it rains, Mr. has just come to Stella." ”
"Good vision, I've just arrived. Joët complimented, picked up his beer and took a big sip.
"Tell me about the interesting things that happened recently, I want to get to know the small town of Stella well. ”
"Of course you can, no one else is there anyway. Once the bar was tidied up, the waiter began to make small talk to Joed.
I don't know when the rain stopped outside the tavern, and Joed had already drunk two beers, and he was satisfied and got the message he wanted from the waiter.
"Thank you for telling me this, I think it's time for me to go. Joed left his chair and tossed the waiter a few Kalou as he prepared to return to the station.
"Thank you sir for your generosity and have a nice stay in Stella!"
