While Watt and Gu Fan were discussing the details of the family fight, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Master Watt, it's not good, Lady Cecilia suddenly fell unconscious." A voice came into the room.

"What?" Watt's face suddenly changed, and a pale welled up, "Come in!" ”

A man in soldier's armor quickly walked in and reported: "Lady Cecilia has been unconscious since the morning, her face is dark, and she is suspected to be cursed by the dark energy of the Dark Powers. ”

"Can't those witch doctors solve it either?" Watt snapped.

"Yes...... Yes. The soldier said in a difficult voice: "As early as half an hour ago, the Duke has sent his best witch doctor money to treat Lady Cecilia, but at most it can only be relieved, and it cannot be cured at all, and the witch doctor said that if there is no other way, it will be hopeless in a week at most." ”

"Hopeless?" Watt's face turned pained, then hideous, "Who is it?" Who did it exactly? ”

Lady Cecilia.

It was his father's sister.

After Watt's mother died in a family struggle, compared to his father, who was not a leader in the dragon, the one who usually took the most care of him, and was also the closest to him, was his Lady Cecilia.

This is also the reason why he brought a gift to visit her after a hurried meal last night.

It can be said that the closest person in his life is him, Madame Cecilia, no doubt.

Neither his father, who was nominal or blood-related, nor his half-siblings, could compare to Lady Cecilia.

However, on the second day after he returned to Bhiphakiu City, his aunt was able to be cursed by the Dark Powers, how could there be such a coincidence in this world, and the person behind it was very likely to target him.

After all, it was almost a well-known fact that Watt was the closest to Lady Cecilia in the family.

It's just that even if Watt's brothers and sisters would attack him, they would not dare to attack Lady Cecilia.

After all, her aunt said that she was also their father's own sister, and she was also their aunt, even if the protective power in her house was not strong, but generally no one would specifically trouble a poor widow and widow.

"Now get the carriage ready, I'm going to see it myself." Watt commanded.

The soldier immediately turned and left.

"Son of Gray." Watt suddenly looked at Gu Fan with pleading eyes, "Lady Cecilia is my father's sister and my closest person, can you please come with me to have a look?" ”

His address to Gu Fan unconsciously changed from you to you.

"Okay." Gu Fan didn't think much about it.

Gu Fan was somewhat interested in the curse of the Dark Energy described by the soldier, even if no one asked him for help, he would take the opportunity to go up and take a look.

After all, as early as when Gu Fan first came to this world, the first time he faced it was the curse of the Dark Ability.

And I heard the soldier say just now that even the witch doctor couldn't handle it, which made Gu Fan a little curious.

Witch doctors are not pretending to be ghosts, but are made up of a group of people who specialize in the art of healing.

Although the medical skills of those witch doctors are far from being comparable to their strange attack abilities, they are much better than ordinary people, and only they can crack the dark energy curse that belongs to the same root.

Now, of course, there's another class that can break the curse of dark energy, the Priest.

Pastor of the Church of Light.

And as the strongest witch doctor of the duke, his strength and medical skills are definitely not weak, but even so, he still can't remove the curse on Lady Cecilia's body, which makes Gu Fan feel eager to try.

Half a day.

The carriage carried Gu Fan and Watt to Lady Cecilia's courtyard.

The group walked through the long hallway, and soon came to the door of Lady Cecilia's room.

At this time, in front of the door of the room, there were several well-dressed and well-behaved people.

Gu Fan took a look and found that there were five men and one woman.

Then Gu Fan noticed that Watt's footsteps in front were a little slower, as if he knew the people in front.

"Second Brother Watt, long time no see."

Suddenly, a handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old greeted Watt.

Although the relationship between the master and the wife is relatively bad, this is how good Watt is in front of the other brothers and sisters, but it is not good, and in the face of the situation that the aunt is very likely to encounter danger, Watt forced out a smile, "Long time no see, Wells." ”

Wales?

Gu Fan's heart moved, and he looked at the handsome young man.

When he was in the study just now, Watt introduced his brothers and sisters to Gu Fan, and Wells was one of them.

As the fifth son of the Duke of Atrow, Wells was born a little later, but in the family battle three years ago, he rose to prominence and won the final victory.

It can be said that Watt was caught off guard all of a sudden.

"Watt, you're late for such an emergency." A man in his mid-thirties stepped forward.

"Albert, please be respectful and don't talk nonsense in this place." The smile on Watt's face immediately disappeared, and he said coldly.

Albert?

Gu Fan turned his head and looked over.

Albert is Watt's eldest brother, and it was originally Watt and his eldest brother who were competing for the final inheritance until Wells emerged three years ago.

Originally, according to the normal rules of inheritance, Albert, as the eldest son, enjoyed the highest priority of title and domain inheritance, and other people born later could only receive a small part of the severance funds while their parents were still alive.

It's a pity that he was born into the Etro family, and the long-standing custom of the family does not have the so-called rules of primogeniture, but the capable go up and the mediocre go down.

Unless the current Duke has only one descendant, the succession will be selected from all the sons below him, which is why the Etro family has a family fight every three years.

Although the tilt in resources is real, it is only a disguise, and the real purpose is to determine the heir of the family through skill fighting.

And for a long time, including the family business operation and the ranking of the family's skills, will largely determine who is the heir of the Etro family.

And in between, except for the first place, there is no other position.

After all, compared to the entire Duchy of Etro and the hereditary title, others can only get some leftovers at most, and it is only to the extent of a leg hair.

This is also a move made by most aristocratic families in order to ensure that the strength of the family is not dispersed and weakened.

There is a cow on one side and a few cow hairs on the other, and the gap between them can be imagined.
