Chapter 496

After all, it is still the heart of a girl, as long as she thinks that she will be able to make a splash in three months, attracting countless exclamations and even envy, Minaya suddenly laughed so much that her eyes were bent into crescent moons.

However, her excited expression quickly subsided, and she changed to a somewhat worried expression, and asked timidly, "Brother, are you still angry with my father?" ”

Before, because of the "sensitive" issue of the girl's apprenticeship, Old Pearl and Xia Dong had a big quarrel, and until now the two sides are still in a state of avoiding each other, and of course the girl who feels caught in the middle is very sad.

"I don't care if I'm angry or not, it's just that Uncle Pearl has a lot of opinions about me, and until he figures it out, I'd better not show up in front of him to save him more discomfort." Shaking his head, Xia Dong explained his true thoughts, with the relationship between Rui Qiu and Nolia, it was impossible for him to have any rejection of Pearl, let alone hold a grudge.

Hearing this, Minaya immediately showed a big smile, hugged his arm with both hands and cheered, "Brother is so good." ”

After chatting casually for a while, Xia Dong finally coaxed the girl back to continue learning other courses.

Seeing that he was a little bored, he asked for Ray Moore, and looking at the housekeeper, who had been serious and busy all day, he asked, "How is the investigation about the original owner of this house?" ”

Raymore, who stood up straight and meticulous, immediately replied: "Yes, my lord, I have learned the situation in detail, the original owner of the house is the Viscount of Calle of the kingdom, who once served as the commander-in-chief of the distant fortress, died in the previous invasion of the Calestrians, due to the sudden fall of the fortress, and the fact that a large number of cities in the rear were raided because they did not receive information in time, and were finally judged by the king to be serious dereliction of duty and stripped of the title. ”

Sure enough, it was him, a gray-haired figure immediately appeared in front of Xia Dong's eyes, and when the other party asked him to break through and deliver the letter, he also gave himself the earth guardian armor and manor, but it was a pity that he fell into the sea because he was chased by the shadow demon, and then he actually floated to the Duchy of Delima.

Although the war raged because of this, he also became a god of death by mistake, which can really be described as a blessing and a curse, and a blessing and a blessing dependent, and the good and bad gains and losses are really difficult to say.

But no matter how to say, he also promised the other party to take good care of his family, and since he has the conditions now, of course he must fulfill his promise.

Thinking of this, Xia Dong opened his mouth and asked, "Viscount Kalai should have a grandson, right?" Where is he now? "Since the other party has been reduced to selling the ancestral house, the situation should not be very good.

"That young master Ulysses is now studying at the Academy of Light, but the situation is a little down, he was just ordered to drop out of school some time ago because he couldn't pay the tuition fees, but then it is said that Lord Upton, the mayor of the city, has come forward, plus the money from the sale of the house, and now he has returned to the academy to study." Raymore apparently inquired carefully.

Frowning slightly, Xia Dong asked with some hesitation: "Didn't Viscount Kalai leave an inheritance, how could he be trapped to such a point?" "Besides, don't there be any friends and relatives who are willing to lend a hand? These Meswall aristocrats are too ruthless, aren't they?

Ray Moul, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly told the story that this matter of Viscount Kalai was really very complicated.

Viscount Calais also has an older brother, Ritar, the two had a very unhappy quarrel when they fought for the inheritance decades ago, and later inherited the title because Viscount Calle successfully awakened his divinity, but the two families have always been on the same page.

As the so-called thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, when Viscount Kale died in the distant fortress, his son had already sacrificed his life for the country, and the only grandson had not been able to awaken the divinity for a long time, but Ritar's son Faraon was already a second-level warlock, and what was even worse was the third generation of their family, and the little guy who was said to have a somewhat tyrannical temperament was now a second-level knight.

In contrast, the king of course had a choice, so he not only removed the title and territorial property of the Viscount of Calle, but also gave it to Farran, so poor Ulysses naturally ended up empty-handed, if it were not for the Viscount of Calle's connections in the past, I am afraid that even this villa would be taken away.

But the help of these people does not stop there, after all, compared to the son of an old friend who has no future, the bright future of the Ritar family is more valuable, and no one wants to provoke the enemy because of this kind of thing for no reason.

Probably hearing that his master might have something to do with Ulysses, Remore deliberately made the joints clear inside, and even how the son of Viscount Calle treated the Ritar family back then.

After listening to the complicated grievances and hatreds here, Xia Dong couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong for a while, and he could only sigh after the last, sure enough, when he was in the lower position, he had to treat himself as a person, and when he was in the upper position, he had to treat others as a human being, and no one could tell the change in fate.

After a moment of deep silence, he stood up, "Prepare the carriage for me, I want to meet this little fellow." "No matter who they are, anyway, I owe Viscount Calle a promise, and now I can pay it back, what does the rest have to do with me?

The Academy of Light, located between the aristocratic and commoner quarters of Meswall, is completely surrounded by a fence inlaid with iron fences, allowing outsiders to have a picturesque view of the interior, whether the sculptures, gardens or buildings are not as magnificent and solemn as the palace, but also have a unique and elegant charm.

As for security? The tops of those unsightly walls have been set with magic traps, and ordinary people will definitely die if they touch them even slightly, so there is absolutely no such thing as skipping class like an Earth student.

Of course, this seemingly open and beautiful place is not accessible to ordinary people, and the north and south gates are guarded by heavily armed soldiers, and if they are not insiders and nobles, they can only stand obediently outside the wall.

This naked disparity is, in the language of the earth, a hierarchy.

Sitting in the comfortable and spacious carriage, Xia Dong's eyes swept through the window over the civilians who were standing by the door waiting with a cower, and a sigh flashed in his heart.

"Sir, the carriage cannot enter the academy, please forgive me." A capable guard stepped forward to stop the coachman and pointed to the side, where a large number of carriages of all kinds were already parked, and it was clear that many of them were following this rule.

The coachman named Norn didn't dare to reply without permission, he turned his head and knocked on the carriage gently, "Sir, the guards said that the carriage could not enter the academy, you see......"

Pushing the car door, Xia Dong walked down slowly, "You wait for me here." With that, he turned his gaze back to the soldier, flicked his fingers, and threw out a silver coin, "I want to find Ulysses, the grandson of Viscount Calle, do you know where he is?" ”

Catching the coin, a smile suddenly appeared on the guard's face, "Master Hui, there should be classes in it now, you can go to Mr. Toms, the head of affairs of the academy, he works in that small white three-story building, and someone in the hall will naturally receive you." ”
