Book 1: The Believer of Light Chapter 24: Meet the Heart Eater Again
Seeing his son leave the castle, Nimet, who had been in the limelight all his life, was a little lonely at this moment. Although he is not yet fifty years old, after what has just happened, it is like aging thirty years old in an instant. Fortner was a little unbearable, walked to Nimmit's side, and said softly: "Do you want to send someone to follow the young master? "Hmm" Nimmit replied briefly, then walked back into the room with heavy steps.
In the large room, seven Orvieto pearls are inlaid into the roof to illuminate the room. One of these pearls, which can only be found in the depths of the Harren Walker Sea, is worth a fortune, and seven of them are used as lighting tools in this room, and the wealth of the Adomondo family is well deserved.
Nimit placed a pendant in the palm of his hand and stroked it gently, the first gift he gave to Anne, when Anne was a maid. At that time, they had spent too much time in the castle where the Adomondo family had made their fortune, and they had so many beautiful memories, but everything changed after that sudden night. He was taken back to the Adomondo family's residence in Banyas, where he took charge of the Adomondo family. Anne, on the other hand, was kicked out of the castle and left in the muddy alleys, and after giving birth to Cowell, she was forced to pick up guests until she died.
When Nimit settles the family feud and wants to get Anne back, he realizes that his lover has already died in the broken bed of Muddy Alley. The moment he got the news, Nimith felt like the sky was going to fall, but fortunately the butler Fortner told him that Anne had given birth to a boy for him.
At the first sight of Cowell, Nimiit knew that this was definitely his own child, and his stubborn and immature face was the same as when he was a child. It's just that Nimmit is at ease in both the mall and the officialdom, but when facing Cowell, he becomes helpless. I wanted to give Cowell a fatherly smile, but when I opened my mouth, it was a serious word. The estrangement between father and son grew, until Colwell finally ran away from home, and Nimmit was unable to say the words "I love you, my child."
Hanging the pendant back around his neck, Nimmit summoned Fortner over, "Let Tony protect Floga." Whatever Froga has to do, support him. I only now understand what you said before, blood dissolves in water, and nothing is impossible. "Yes, sir. Fortner replied with some excitement. As Fortner's somewhat aged body left the room, Nimmit's face was smiling.
In the sunset, the elongated Cowell and Arthur walked wordlessly on the forest path, and Savens followed far behind with the hurricane. "Are you really the prince of the kingdom of Ovit, and are your parents treating you well?" Cowell couldn't help but ask. "Huh?" said Arthur, looking at Colwill with some confusion.
Cowell said with some self-suff: "I've been very vague about family since I was a child. My mother died when I could remember, and my father, well, Nimiit Adomondo, you see, didn't spend much time with me because of the family business. I've been alone since I was a child, and I don't know what family affection is. It wasn't until I left the Adomondo family to adopt Arthur that I truly experienced what family affection was for the first time. ”
Arthur looked at Cowell's sad appearance and didn't know how to speak, after all, although he was very happy living in the royal family since he was a child, he also had very little affection for Cowell from his father, after all, Dregre II was busy with state affairs, and Arthur didn't blame him. In this way, Arthur and Cowell are a pair of difficult brothers.
"Why did you kill those thugs?" the two walked for a moment, and Arthur stopped and asked. "Do you know that many of the children I have adopted don't actually live in muddy alleys?" Cowell looked at His Royal Highness the foreign prince, "Have you experienced the hardships at the bottom of society? Many families are ruined, not because of natural disasters but because of man-made disasters, do you know?"
Arthur was silent, he didn't want to ask now, everything had an answer. "What's next. "Now that the Best family has noticed it, it is impossible to assassinate again. In the name of the Adomondo family, I will try against the Best family. Alice, their blood feud, I will cut off the heads of their enemies with my own hands. Colwell said fiercely.
"Why did the Best family murder you and the children?" Arthur never understood why the Best family wanted to do something to Cowell, especially since they had formed a blood feud and stirred up the people.
"In fact, I found out that the Best family did it by chance, and after the incident, I tried my best to find the behind-the-scenes instructions behind this incident. It didn't take long for me to see someone in Redbeard and Jenny's Tavern who was definitely not supposed to live. It was one of the gangsters I killed in front of Redbeard and Jenny's Tavern. Originally, I didn't think much about him when I saw him, but I just missed it at the time. But when I passed by him, I found that he was looking at me with a frightened expression. I know he probably doesn't know me, so there's got to be something wrong with that. Sure enough, after I pretended not to notice him leaving the tavern, the thug left the tavern as soon as possible. So, I followed him to find the next person who had something to do with it. "After the thugs met with the butler who looked like some nobleman, I knocked the two men unconscious and took them away. Later, after my questioning, I found out that the two of them only knew a little. However, I followed their line, and finally let me find clues, and all the clues pointed to the Best family. Originally, I wanted to pretend to be a cook, and then at the beginning of the banquet, I took the opportunity to kidnap the head of the Best family. It's just that the Best family seems to know that they are coming, and they are ready in advance to wait for my visit. You know the rest of the story."
"So you didn't verify who was in the Best family?" asked Arthur. "At this point, the clue is broken, and I originally wanted to wait a while to find out. It's just that I'm worried about Arthur and Alice's situation, so I decided to kidnap the head of the Best family. And now I've reached the point, who is the Best family? Still waiting for Cowell to tell him about the mastermind behind the scenes, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Cowell speak, and then Arthur realized that Cowell's expression was a little unnatural.
"What's wrong. Arthur asked, confused. "Well, as Fortner said, I am probably the culprit for all this. Cowell sighed and said, "If you kill all the thugs then, or don't provoke them." If I hadn't crippled Howard in the first place. None of this will happen. ”
Seeing that Arthur didn't understand, Cowell recounted his affair with Howard again. After listening to Cowell's words, Arthur didn't know what to say for a while. Maybe that's fate.
Before you know it, the last setting sun has completely sunk below the horizon, and the night sky is dotted with thin starlight. Cowell and Arthur had come to the gate of Banyas, and when they saw someone coming, the soldier guarding the gate immediately came over with a spear, and the soldier who had just wanted to make some silver coins and copper plates saw one of the three people put a piece of parchment in front of him, although the soldier was illiterate, but the knowledge of standing guard at the city gate for many years made him understand that the copper plate that was about to arrive was gone.
Without looking at the respectful attitude of the soldiers, Arthur entered the city of Banyas with Cowell.
Under the bright moonlight and starlight, the already deserted streets are even colder at the moment. Standing in front of the inn, Cowell rejected Arthur's invitation and turned to leave. Seeing Cowell's figure, Arthur remembered that the sword he had entrusted to the dwarven blacksmith Master Crans could be built tomorrow, and perhaps he could lend the sword to Cowell. Looks like I'm going to go to Master Clarence tomorrow to get the sword.
On the deserted street, Cowell stopped before he had taken a few steps. Not far in front of him, Ahad was looking at Colwell with a humble expression.
Colwill looked helpless, this Ahad is really difficult, he has just returned to Banyas City, and he can find him immediately. "Don't you sleep at night? It's easy to get dark circles under your eyes. Although he said it lightly, Cowell was already waiting for it.
It was impossible to escape, he was about a hundred meters away from the post station, such a long road was enough for Ahad to kill him several times.
Ahad didn't seem to understand what Cowell said, and tilted his head to look at Cowell getting ready, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and the congested heart was the best to eat.
Colwell, who was waiting for the battle, had not yet seen the traces of Ahad's disappearance, and Ahad had already appeared in front of Colwell, and his right hand was clawed towards Colwell's heart. Despite the injuries on his body, Cowill's reaction was quite agile, and the dagger in his hand slashed horizontally across his chest, blocking Ahad's claws.
His own attack was blocked, and Ahad was not annoyed, but still grinned, and smashed his left hand directly into Cowill's front door. Like a loach, Colwell slid directly to Ahad's side, and the dagger in his hand stabbed directly into Ahad's neck.
But it felt like a stab against a wall of copper, and with two fingers of width from Ahad's neck, the dagger could no longer stab. Seeing that he couldn't hurt Ahad, Cowell didn't drag the mud and water, and directly distanced the two. Then he turned and ran towards the station, where Cowell knew that he was defeated by Ahad and would fight him, just to delay time so that his guardian spirit, the Blue Snake, could come to the station to inform Arthur. As long as there is the help of the guards at the station, even if you can't kill Ahad, you can make Ahad retreat.
It's just that how could it be as Cowell wished, seeing that the fresh heart that was about to arrive was about to run away again, Ahad's originally honest and honest face suddenly became hideous. A substantial vindictive spirit enveloped Ahad, and Ahad roared and fired at Colwell like a cannonball.
Cowell's life hung by a thread.
