When Old Brown returned to the courtyard, Andy was practicing his sword in the courtyard with a calm face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

White's death filled him with a sense of crisis. Because the sequelae of the crossing have not yet passed, he has not been able to calm down and learn witchcraft. Desperate for an increase in strength, he began to slowly become familiar with the swordsmanship that his original body had memorized.

Unlike the terrible witchcraft talent, this body's swordsmanship talent is outstanding, and with the family's secret breathing method, Andy is only one step away from breaking through the knight rank.

You must know that a sixteen-year-old quasi-knight is a great genius even in a royal family or a noble family.

It's a pity that this world is a world of witchcraft, and even the great knights above the knights are a little inferior in combat power compared to wizards.

Andy practiced his sword while carefully sensing his physical condition. Combined with the experience left by his predecessor, he could feel that he would definitely be able to break through to become a knight in less than a month.

At that time, some family heirloom sword skills will be able to be used, and his combat power will skyrocket.

"Young Master, why did you come out to move, didn't you say that you should have a good rest? I heard Kelly say that last time, Elena's mental strength was exhausted, and she lay in bed for three months before recovering. You've only been lying down for three days!"

Andy's thoughts were interrupted by Old Brown, and seeing that he looked like he was about to come up and grab the sword, Andy had to stop practicing the sword. 、

"It's back, Grandpa Brown," Andy greeted.

"Hehe, how dare you be called that young master. Just call me Old Brown," Old Brown laughed like a flower, "I sent the news of your awakening to the Wizard's Tower, and Wizard Stein asked you to get out of bed and go to him." ”

Andy knew that the only official wizard in Colin Territory was Stein, and the Wizard Tower naturally belonged to him.

"Oh, I see. By the way, Grandpa Brown, there's something I want to ask you," Andy asked, staring into old Brown's eyes, seemingly casually

"Three days ago, you made the soothing soup I used in the meditation room, right?"

"yes, what's wrong young master"

"There is a problem with the soup"

"Huh?" Old Brown looked nervous and guilty, "Could it be that I didn't boil the soup well, which caused the young master to fail to rush to the rank......s?" I ......" he trembled his lips, and I didn't pick up the rest of the words for a long time.

"That's not it!" Seeing every detail, Andy smiled nonchalantly, "The failure of the rush is mainly due to my insufficient preparation." There are a lot of people who don't use the tranquilizer soup to promote the junior wizard apprentice. ”

"But," Andy said, "It seems that the soup this time is not old enough, and it doesn't feel as good as before." Did you feel any different when you boiled the medicine?"

"I want to think about it...... Oh,It's true.,I used to use three-leaf ones.,This time the one used is four-leaf.。 The leaves are all the same, and the little girl said that one more leaf would be better. Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm. ”

"Uh...... Young master, I'm not talking about you" Seeing that Andy didn't react, Old Brown emphasized.

Andy's mind searched for fused memories, and he quickly remembered the records he had seen from the Wizard's Tower Library

Soul Eater, a mutant of the Tranquilizer Grass. It has a strong psychotoxicity. The grass has four-leaf leaves, which is very similar to the soothing grass.

It is said that Soul Eater is extremely rare and is the main ingredient of some wizard-level potions, and Soul Eater is generally accompanied by a highly poisonous beast called the Saro Snake, which is extremely difficult to pick.

This kind of Soul Eater Grass will only mutate from the Tranquility Grass in a certain environment in the wild, and once it mutates, it will quickly absorb the nutrients of the surrounding Tranquility Grass and other plants, and no grass will grow within ten steps.

The tranquilizer grass used by the wizard tower was cultivated in the greenhouse by the Stein wizards and apprentices, and there was no growth environment for the Soul Eater Grass.

Therefore, there is no possibility that the staff of the Wizard Tower will use the Soul Eater as a requiem. Old Brown just at the critical moment when he rushed to the level, he received the Soul Devouring Grass, which was more than a thousand times more valuable than the Tranquilizer Grass. This can only be artificial!

Despite his thoughts, Andy heard Brown Sr. clearly. I couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about, little girl, isn't our tranquilizer grass always taken from Aunt Kelly, the head maid?"

"She was called home by her husband that day, and it was a little girl who replaced her, and the little girl was called Salad or Lori?"

"Is it called Sally!" Andy hurriedly asked.

"Yes! The next time I see her, I have to talk about her, I don't know how to pretend to understand, isn't it harmful?"

"If you don't know how to pretend to understand, I'm afraid it may not be," Andy said to himself.

This is old Brown was finally attracted by a small mound of dirt in the yard, "What is this, how can there be an extra mound, is the garland on it made by you, young master?"

"It's White. ”

"What!?What's wrong with White?"

"Dead!"

"This ......" Old Brown searched around the yard, as if expecting White to suddenly come out of the middle of nowhere and startle him, but after looking for a long time the yard was still quiet.

"This ...... It's fine when you go out, but it's gone. Old Brown said with unfocused eyes.

"How long have we been keeping it?" said Andy saw Old Brown tilt his body and quickly helped him.

"It's been eight years, and when the lord and the lady were still there, the lady brought it back, and at that time it was only the size of a little mouse. Then the master went to war, and once he went, he never came back."

Old Brown hugged Andy and choked up, "Later, Mrs. also left, and the three of us were left to rely on each other, and they were still happy at me when we went out in the morning, how can you say that it is gone?"

"It's old!" Andy said softly, "Dogs are not the same as people, their average lifespan is just over ten years. And not all dogs live to ten years. People are born, old, sick and die, and so are dogs."

"yes, it's old! it's old, and I'm old. Old Brown let go of Andy, sat cautiously in front of White's grave, and said in a low voice

"Thirty years ago, I fled from the Duchy of Saine with my family to Collin County, and I survived only one of seven people. If the old lady hadn't saved me, I would have been arrested and killed as a spy. ”

"The old lady is a good person, and there are countless people in Dallas City who have been sponsored by him. He's so smart, he's businessman, he's so smart. It's a pity that his own qualifications are not good and he doesn't have a strong force, and most of the family property was forcibly divided up by the nobles who were angry in the name of funding the kingdom's war, and finally returned to the countryside and died depressed. ”

"At that time, the lord had just come of age, and he was concentrating on sword training and sword practice, thinking of becoming a knight, and then going to the battlefield to make war exploits and become a noble lord. He succeeded, but his life was gone. And Madame followed."

"Before leaving, Madame told me that I must take good care of you and not let you be bullied by your aunt. She doesn't want you to become a wizard or a knight in the future, she just wants you to marry a girl from a good family, so that the Charles family will have an heir!"

"Well, don't worry, Grandpa Brown, the wizard, the knight, the girl of the good family, these will be there. Andy looked confident. "By the way, did you just say that Wizard Stein asked me to go to him? I see it's still early, I'll go to the Wizard's Tower."

With that, Andy entered the house, changed out of the strong suit he wore to practice swordsmanship, put on the black apprentice's robe, greeted old Brown, and walked towards the tallest building in Dallas City, the wizarding tower in Stein.

As we walked, I thought back to the conversation I had with Brown Sr. at home. It turned out that Old Brown was originally from the Duchy of Sain, and he had never heard him say it in Andy's memory.

The Duchy of Thine in the north and the Elamite Kingdom in the south are the two great powers on the continent of Duolun, and there are constant border frictions and occasional major wars.

Andy's original father died in the war with the Duchy of Sain. The Silverwing Fortress north of Korn County was garrisoned by a legion from the Kingdom of Elamite at all times to prevent the Duchy of Thine from invading.

Collin County is close to the Shadowforest, rich in products and fertile fields, and Dallas City, as an important logistics base for the Silverwing Fortress, also has a pivotal position in the entire Elam Kingdom.

I have to say that as the ruler of Dallas City, Viscount Colin is a good ruler. Andy saw that the streets were neat and clean, and most of the pedestrians were ruddy and in good spirits. The surrounding buildings are scattered.

Andy didn't go straight to the Wizard's Tower, but looked around and turned into a remote alley.

After confirming that it was safe, Andy took out a pencil and a notepad from the inner pocket of his robe, which he used to read the secretary's notes. Now Andy opened the page, but there were more than a dozen names written on it.

He first wrote in the column of the cause of death above: It is basically determined that he died of poisoning by taking the Soul Eater decoction, the poisoner is to be determined, and the motive is to be determined

Then, he found the column that said Old John and wrote: The maker of the decoction has provided important clues, found no signs of misleading the parties, the credibility of the words is high, the motive for poisoning has not been found, and the suspicion is low.

Then he found Kelly and wrote: It cannot be ruled out that she was an insider or behind the scenes, nor can it be ruled out that her husband deliberately transferred her as an insider so that others could commit the crime. There is no conflict of interest with the parties themselves.

He added Sally's name in the blank space, and then noted in bold letters: The suspect is most likely the direct executor of the poisoning. There is no past holiday with the parties and no conflict of interest.

Putting away the notepad, Andy muttered to himself, "This is just a little minion, if it weren't for this incident, they might never have seen what the Soul Eater looked like in their lifetime." Where is it so easy for someone or a force that can get the Soul Eater and know how to use it? There must be nobles or wizard apprentices or even wizards involved!"

As it slowly darkens, Andy exits the alley and walks towards the Wizard's Tower.

The Wizard's Tower stands high in the setting sun, with a layer of golden edges, and the treasure is solemn and shining. It seems to stand forever!
