George was stunned suddenly, if he was not mistaken, this man was at least about the same age as him, and judging by the appearance of his scruffy beard, he might be a little older than him.

You still call him uncle?!

Not to mention that George was stunned, Jordan and Duru both looked over in disbelief.

"Who are you, I'm not as big a junior as you. George's sword still hadn't been lowered, and the tip of the sword had gone even further.

"Uncle George, you're still as alive and well as ever. Angell continued.

But this time, George's expression suddenly changed. For he heard a voice that was so different from before, clear and pleasant, like a babbling stream, like a gentle mountain, that instantly brought him back years ago, and it seemed that there was also someone calling him in this accent.

It's just that, in his memory, that person is a little man who likes to drink milk.

But the person in front of him, sloppy, crumpled clothes, and sallow skin, was completely different from the person he remembered.

"Who are you?" George frowned, looking at Angel with suspicion.

Angel smiled slightly, and the light around his body suddenly dissipated, as if the mirror had been shattered, and countless cracks appeared. Between light and shadow, the dream is ethereal.

In the suspicious eyes of everyone, the mirror was completely shattered.

A handsome man in an elegant black dress, a low hat, and a blood-red and dark cape appeared in front of everyone.

The extremely delicate black color contrasts strongly with the fair skin.

Angels took off his hat, revealing his short golden hair, and said with a smile, "Uncle George, don't come unharmed." ”

George gasped, looking at his blue eyes as clear as the sky, his cheeks trembled with excitement, and the sword in his hand clattered and fell to the ground.

"An An... Ingres, you're Angels!"

George excitedly wanted to rush over and hug Ingres, but seeing that he was dressed elegantly, it seemed that there was something wrong with his hugging Ingres. I could only squeeze Angel's hand excitedly, expressing the excitement in my heart.

"Uncle George, it's me. ”

"You've grown up, you're good!" George looked Ingres up and down, "Didn't you say you went to the capital to study? Why haven't you come back all these years...... Also, why did you suddenly change your appearance just now?"

Angels: "Oh, my brother told me that I went to school. ”

"Didn't you go to school? Didn't you say you went to the Plantagenet Royal Academy?"

Ingres put on his hat, "I guess I'm going to school, but not in the Old Landland." I went to school on another continent, and as for what I learned, it was these little tricks. ”

The broken mirror is reunited, and the image of the lazy uncle is back.

"It's ......"

"It's illusion, a trick to trick your eyes. Ingres explained simply.

"Oooh. George didn't understand, just nodded subconsciously, and then was about to pull Angel into the living room: "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been a long time, but it's not as mellow as before." Take advantage of the time you come back, take care of it. It just so happened that I hunted a wild boar yesterday, so come in and I'll make it up for you. ”

"Uncle George's handiwork, I haven't tasted it for a long time. But I'm not busy, I always have to go home first when I come back. Angels: "Just now, I saw that the Jordanian guards seemed to be hiding something from Pat Manor, and I don't know what exactly happened?"

At the mention of Pat Manor, George's expression also changed.

Seeing this, Angel was even more worried in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What happened, did my brother have an accident?"

George shook his head: "Don't worry, your brother should be fine." ”

"Should? Why use uncertain words. ”

"Come in and drink first, I'll explain to you. George said as he led Angel into the inner hall.

"Dad...... Uh, Lord Sheriff, is he the young master of Pat Manor?" asked Jordan secretly, taking advantage of the gap.

When George saw Jordan coming in, he roared angrily, "What's the matter with you! What are you doing here, you stinky boy, hurry back to your duty!"

Jordan paused, and replied with a wilt: "I know." ”

After Jordan left, George went to fetch water. Ingres and Duru sat cross-legged by the fireside in the center of the room, Ingres's expression was silent, and his eyes looked south from time to time, where Pat Manor was located.

Durux maintained a "shocked" expression, and his face was abrupt. After a while, he came back to his senses: "Lord Pat, was that your true face just now?"

Angel just glanced at him coldly and didn't reply. In this look of intimidation, Du Lu explained in fright: "I just think, I didn't expect adults to be so good-looking." ”

"Angel was better looking when he was a child, round and beautiful. George smiled and served two cups of milk tea, he knew that Angel didn't like to talk about his liking to drink milk in front of outsiders, so he just served tea, but didn't say anything.

Duru didn't dare to answer at this time, glanced at Angel in fear, lowered his head and drank tea consciously, disguising himself as a transparent person.

"Uncle George, what's going on at Pat Manor?" Ingre's expression was serious, and he looked at Pat Manor as Durrous had questioned him earlier. Feeling an obvious strange aura, and this aura seemed to have discovered his gaze, a powerful energy suddenly pierced through the clouds and mist, and glanced at him lightly.

Although soon, the other party retreated. But that sense of gaze made Ingres feel a little tricky.

Most importantly, this feeling of being gazed at clearly comes from Pat Manor.

His previous hunch was right, something had really happened to Pat Manor.

George sighed, "Well, I don't know where to start. Actually, we don't know exactly what happened to Pat Manor, because Pat Manor was closed since the month of recovery three years ago. ”

"Is it closed? hasn't anyone come out since then?"

"Naturally, someone came out, otherwise we would have reported it to Watford. George paused: "The so-called closure means that except for the people of Pat Manor, no one else is allowed to trespass." By the way, do you remember Edgar?"

"Remember, Edgar seems to be the old Orion on the south side of town. ”

"Yes, a few years ago, Edgar's bastard son Little Sam came back, he was full of rebelliousness, and when he heard that Pat's Manor was not allowed to outsiders to enter, he was going to go, and no one stopped dissuading him, so he sneaked into Pat Manor that night. At this point, George's expression suddenly became heavy: "The next morning, we found Sam's body near the manor. ”

"When Sam's body was seen, Old Orion Edgar instantly aged ten years. He later left the town of Gru and was told that he had gone to other provinces...... I don't know how it's now. However, from that day on, no one dared to violate the ban again. ”

"Killing people so rashly is definitely not my brother's character. Angel frowned, wondering in his heart if it had something to do with the strange aura he had spotted before.

"We're weird too, but it's happened. ”

"You're just saying that outsiders can't go in, and when the people from the Patter Manor come out, don't you ask?" asked Ingres.

"Of course I asked, but no one said. ”

Ingres recalls the servants in the family, and in Ingres's impression, they are all kind and kind people. Especially the maids such as Ollie, who love gossip and are by no means indifferent.

"Are you sure they are still the same people as before, and have there been any changes in their personalities, conversations, and habits?"

"I don't know what you suspect Ingres, but they must be the same people they used to be. Although the frequency of coming out is much less than before, there is no change in behavior. George paused: "But as long as we asked about the manor, they were all silent." However, when everyone saw that they were living as usual, they didn't care. ”

"Nothing has changed?"

"Not really. ”

"And my brother, did you show up?" asked Ingres again.

"Naturally, there is. However, the frequency of coming out is not high, sometimes it only comes out once in half a year, and it is basically to inspect the subordinates and comfort some people in the town. It is precisely because of the Viscount's appearance that the town of Gru can maintain its current stability. ”

"My brother hasn't changed much?"

George pondered for a moment: "It doesn't seem to be there, but it has become a little more majestic than before." But this is normal, after all, after taking over the title, it is true that you have to put away your past jumping character. ”

Angels: "It's impossible that no one has ever gone to my brother all these years, right?"

George shrugged: "Someone is looking for it, but it's useless." Even if the servant who came out to report the news, the viscount would not necessarily come out. Because of the uncertainty of the Viscount's appearance, we cannot enter the manor to arraign. That's why Jordan dissuades you. ”

The news from George made Ingres feel a little relieved, at least the family is fine for now. But the doubts in his heart were not explained.

Why is the garden closed? Why are the servants so secretive about the affairs of the manor? And what is the strange smell of the manor?

The manor began to change three years ago in the month of recovery, when he should have left the Old Land Continent on the Bauhinia, and he hadn't even left the Baleen Sea.

In other words, he had only been walking long from Gru Town on his front foot, and something happened to his back foot, what happened here?

"Don't you have any doubts about what happened at the manor?" asked Ingres again.

George's face changed several times, and finally sighed: "Even if you doubt, it's useless, we can't go in after all." Anyway, now the people in the town are a little bit talking about the manor, so they just don't talk about it, and live their own lives. At least, the viscount's taxes on the territory were the same as before, and they didn't exploit everyone. ”

Ingres thought for a moment and stood up.

"Uncle George, he will stay with you first, and I will go back to the manor to see how it goes. Ingres pointed to Durroux and said to George.

George frowned: "However, the manor is closed now, will it ...... you just go in like this?"

"Pat Manor is closed, but outsiders are not allowed in, but don't forget who I am. ”

George is right to think about it, Ingres is the little master of Pat Manor, and the others are just that, no matter how he can go in, thinking of this, George will not stop him.

After Angels left, George looked at Durrou, who was silent with a bowed face, and asked curiously: "I just saw that you have a lot of respect for Ingres, and you still call him Lord, what is your relationship with him?" What kind of tricks has he learned over the years, and what kind of ...... are you?"

George asked a lot of questions, but Duru didn't dare to answer a single question, and said bitterly: "These things must be kept secret, and I can't answer them without Master Pat's permission." ”

George gave Duru a serious look, and seeing that he had a resolute look in his eyes, he finally gave up asking.

George didn't ask anymore, but Duru said curiously, "Lord Pat seems to be quite young, I wonder how old he is this year?"

George thought for a moment, "I remember that Angels had just turned fourteen when he left, and now he should be almost eighteen. ”

Eighteen years old? It's not much the same age as him?!
