"Soon, soon...... It doesn't hurt much, ah, it's almost better......"

Manfred pressed the material on the operating table, his face flushed with excitement.

"Yes, yes, yes, ah- that's it, it's cool!"

The scalpel was like a swimming snake, winding and slashing away, bringing a crimson blood light, and the person who was restrained on the operating table finally stopped moving.

"Found it, ha, okay. Manfred got what he wanted from the material, and happily swept it off the operating table and threw it into the pile of severed limbs.

"Whew—" Seeming a little tired, Manfred let out a sigh and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. But instead of noticing the blood stains on his gloves, he wiped his face dirty.

"Is it over?" said Jan walked in, frowning at the severed limbs, Manfred was always selfless in his experiments, not caring at all about other people's feelings.

Ah, I'm halfway there. Why, what's the matter?" Manfred smiled and looked at Yang, although his face had become much more handsome, but now his bloodstained face made Yang feel that it was still the same face that looked more comfortable, and the wicked should at least have the appearance of a wicked man.

"Artemis has left Govélenburg. Keeping his eyes away, Jan asked himself not to look at Manfred's face as much as possible, "It seems that we have gone to the Tiamat Palace, what to do, she may leak our secrets." ”

"Leak?" Manfred scoffed, "she doesn't know anything." Yang, how can you say that Artemis is your sister, do you still want to do something to her?"

Yang gritted his teeth, and his face became ugly. "Is it your mercy that you have slain even the Earl of Hecate, and now you have softened your heart towards his daughter? ”

"No, you can't say that. Manfred took off his gloves and tossed them aside, "Even His Excellency the Earl is full of admiration. In any case, this man ended up being a Hecate, and although he usually seemed a little forward-looking and indecisive, in the end, he was quite determined. ”

Yang snorted softly, clearly disagreeing with Manfred's words.

"Why, don't you think so? In any case, the Earl has nothing to blame for you, and can even be said to be very merciful and generous, you know, just by virtue of the status of this illegitimate child, the Earl can directly strangle you when you are born. ”

Yang's face was extremely gloomy, and the last thing he wanted to be mentioned was this identity, but Manfred said it without cryptic now, which made the boy unable to bear it any longer.

"Why don't you kill me!, I'd rather not be born, to suffer these shames and ridicules!" he roared loudly, perhaps because of the death of Count Hecate, and the pent-up emotions that had been pent up for many years finally exploded at this moment, "What is such a life? Mercy? I would rather not have this mercy, but since he has given it to me, then I will surely repay his mercy by the most ruthless means!"

"Tut-tut......" Manfred shook his head, his expression was not dignified at all, but a little relaxed, "Then Your Excellency the Earl will feel very sad even if he is in heaven." He gave you so much, spared no effort to teach you the way of the devil without reservation, and in the end, you were resentful, resentful of why he let you live. I think that His Excellency the Earl really has feelings for you as a father, but he is too pedantic to abandon the prejudice of the family name. ”

"Hmph, if he wants to hate or resent, let him go, aren't people like us destined to go to hell?"

"yes, maybe you'll see your real father in hell. Manfred looked at Yang playfully, "You should know who that person is." ”

"I don't know!" Yang turned away, the anger on his distorted face still not subsided, "I don't want to know." ”

"Then be whatever you want. Manfred shrugged, not seeming to care.

He walked to the corner of the room, where there was a black iron box, which was sealed with many chains. Manfred opened the box and threw in what he had just gotten.

After calming his mood, Yang tried to calm himself down. "How's it going?"

"In general, it seems like something is missing. Manfred stared at the changes in the box, his brows furrowed tightly, "After all, so many generations have passed, and it is obvious that many blood causes of the ancestors are missing from the bodies of these materials, hmph, maybe it is because of this that the once prosperous family has not reached this point today." ”

Young wasn't so interested in paying attention to it, and he wasn't interested in Manfred's bloody and disgusting experiments. "The people of this family should be here, and if you still want materials, you have to find those branches. ”

"In terms of blood, there is actually no such thing as lineage and branchage. Manfred closed the box, stretched out his palm, and explained to Yang, "Marriages with other families will make the next generation only inherit 50% of the family bloodline, of course, if it is a marriage within the family, maybe the inheritance of the ancestor's bloodline will be more, but the Duke of Norformons is a minority after all, only by expanding the family branches, it is conducive to the inheritance of titles and territories, whether it is from the own family or inherited from other families." The blood inheritance of most families will make the blood from the ancestors become less and less and thinner, although there may be a very small number of atavistic phenomena, but this probability is too low to be considered. Therefore, there is actually no difference between the lineage and the branch, and the bloodline does not become more noble because of the status. ”

"You don't have to give me a speech. Yang frowned, although Manfred's last sentence was indeed very suitable for Yang's identity, but when he thought of Manfred's experiment, he couldn't bring up any interest.

"Let's put it this way," said Manfred, pointing to his fingers, "the ancestral origin of the bloodline is like the palm of the palm, and the bloodline that divides it is like five fingers, and if the middle finger is the lineage, and the other fingers are branches, then in fact, although each finger is more or less different, but on the whole they are all the same, and the nature will not change, that is to say, ......"

"Alright, alright!" Yang raised his hand in surrender, he really didn't have any interest in listening to Manfred, "put these things aside, now what do you want me to do, go and get those side branches?"

Manfred, who was interrupted by Young, looked a little unhappy, as if he was still unsatisfied with what he had just expounded, and wanted to finish all the theories. But after thinking about it, he gave up on continuing to explain.

"The police in Puerto León are now under the control of the Ministry of the Interior, and when the Southern Legion was stationed in Puerto León, the Third Section of the Ministry of the Interior had already been inserted. After you arrive in Porto Leon, let those people help you find the branch of the Philippe family, as long as you are related to this family, try to catch it, we are in dire need of materials. ”

"Lesson 3?" Yang suddenly remembered something when he heard the name of this organ, "Did that Thresy Daxda from Lesson 3 die in the fire that day?"

"I don't have the time to pay attention to these little people, why, you care about this person?"

"Don't you think it......" Yang tightened his face, recalling the man who always wrapped himself in heavy clothes, Yang always felt a little uncomfortable, "This person is Seresi Daxda, could it be a magician?"

"Oh?" Manfred replied casually, still not seeming to care, "how do you tell?"

"This person gives me a very evil feeling, when I was lurking in the Ministry of the Interior, I never perceived him, even if I could see this person in my field of vision, but before he entered my line of sight, I didn't even notice the slightest breath of this guy, as if it was ...... By the way, it's as if he's a ghost. ”

"Ghosts?" Manfred couldn't help but laugh, "Ghosts don't wear such heavy clothes. ”

"That's one of those weird places, don't you think?"

"Well, don't overthink it. Manfred walked over and patted Young on the shoulder, "I'm sure this Thresi Daxda doesn't have any magic on him, don't you believe my perception?"

Although Manfred said so, Yang still didn't seem to be relieved.

Seeing Yang's expression, Manfred knew that he hadn't given up yet, this kid had been like this since he was a child, unusually persistent, or stubborn. "If you still can't rest assured, then let our Highness go down and check it out, and if he's still alive, I'll find an opportunity to test it." ”

Listening to Manfred's somewhat perfunctory tone, Young's brows jumped, and he now felt that it seemed that after being freed, Manfred had let his guard down a little too much.

But instead of reminding Manfred, he buried all these doubts in his heart.

————————————————

In summer, no matter how hot the weather is, the nights are always cool.

Remotely from the city and close to a small lake, Karin Castle is cooler than in the city of D'Åt, and the night breeze from the lake sweeps away the sweltering heat of the day.

However, such a cool breeze does not blow into the castle, and no matter how cool it is outside, the castle rooms will always be much hotter.

Sven, who had just finished taking a shower, walked into the room, and because he didn't want to sweat, he simply didn't put on his shirt, only hung a white sweat towel around his neck.

Similarly, Sophia couldn't stand the heat in the room, and she lay on the bed with nothing covered by nothing in a pair of light white silk pajamas. The white silk was a little transparent, and Sven could clearly see the skin under his sister's pajamas.

"Cover a little bit so that you don't catch a cold. Swain took a thin blanket and placed it on Sophia's abdomen.

"Brother," Sophia leaned over like a snake, drawing a fold in the sheets, "why do the Hecate family want to live with us? Karin Castle is the royal palace, so it's okay for Princess Caterina to live here, but why does the woman of the Thirteenth Lesson live here? ”

Swain sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed Sophia's long, freshly washed hair that was still scented. "You don't like that Miss Hecate?"

Sophia turned over, and her light pajamas also flipped with Sophia's movements, and her slender figure and fair skin had no reservations in front of Swain. Like a kitten, Sophia crawled up to her brother and crouched on Swain's lap. "I didn't like it from the first meeting, and that woman always gave people a very nasty feeling. ”

Even the wisest of the wise man has no good way to deal with the girl's thoughts, Sophia will not like Artmis, Sven has guessed, after all, when she was in Midnight Fort before, Sophia asked herself about Artmis. But now it seems that Sophia's rejection of Artemis is far beyond Swain's imagination, originally he thought that Sophia is a very well-behaved girl, even if she doesn't like Artmis, but as long as it is her own meaning, she should not ask more, but recently Sophia seems to have changed a little and become more active. Even though she was as well-behaved as ever, she seemed to be trying to grasp something.

"Then try not to touch her. Swain sighed helplessly, the question was really a headache for him.

Seeing her brother's appearance, Sophia didn't say anything more, although she didn't like Artmis, but she didn't want her brother to worry about it too much, even if she didn't know what Swain was doing, Sophia could still vaguely guess that what her brother did must not be simple, otherwise he wouldn't deliberately leave the people of the thirteenth class behind.
