On the morning of the second day, at the dining table in the living room of the Baruch family, Lin Lei was surprised to find that his father was radiant, and even his mental outlook was completely different.

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Hogg looked at Lin Lei with a smile: "Lin Lei, stay at home for a while this time, my father hasn't seen you for a long time, let's get together with father and son." ”

Father let himself stay at home a little longer?

Lin Lei was a little surprised, after all, his father had never said such a thing for so many years. Originally, Lin Lei also planned to go to Finlay City to visit Alice by the way. But this time has already left Alice behind.

"Yes, Father. Lin Lei nodded happily.

Hogg nodded happily, but there seemed to be something more in Hogg's eyes.

......

Lin Lei stayed in Wushan Town for more than ten days, and he didn't even rush back when the second semester of Ernst College started. And Hogg didn't urge Lin Lei to go to the academy.

On the Wushan Mountain to the east of Wushan Town, next to the gurgling stream, Lin Lei sat cross-legged and quietly meditated and refined his magic power.

The earth system elements and wind system elements penetrate into the body from all parts of Lin Lei's body, and the muscles, muscles, and meridians throughout the body naturally absorb elements to improve the physique.

The sea is inclusive, and the elements flowing through the meridians of the whole body finally gather here.

Lin Lei sat like this for half a day, and when Lin Lei opened his eyes, it was already sunset.

"It's time to go back to the academy. Lin Lei stood up and exhaled a long breath, "Since I gave those magic crystal nuclei to my father, my father's attitude towards me has become much better and kinder. ”

In the past ten days, it should be the most harmonious ten days for Lin Lei and Hogg.

"What prompted my father to change so much? Demon Crystal Nucleus? Father shouldn't be because of money. Or is it...... The scars on my body?" After thinking about it, Lin Leisi was not completely sure why his father had become so kind to him all of a sudden.

Hush cold and ask for warmth, this word can completely explain Hogg's attitude towards Lin Lei today.

Walking into the Baruch family mansion, Lin Lei saw his father reading books at a glance: "Father, it's getting dark, let's wait until tomorrow to read the books." ”

"Oh, Lin Lei is back. Hogg smiled and closed the book, "What you said makes sense, I'll read it tomorrow." ”

"Lin Lei, you've been cultivating outside for so long, and you're thirsty. Hogg picked up the kettle placed on the coffee table next to him and poured a glass of boiled water, "Come, moisten your throat, this water is just the right temperature, not hot or cold." ”

"Thank you, father. Lin Lei's heart warmed.

That's how Hogg has treated Lin Lei in the past ten days, it's very good. In the past, Hogg was always serious. It is rare to show such a warm side.

Drinking tea, Lin Lei said, "Father, I've been at home for a while, and I'm going to go to the academy tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Hogg was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Okay then." At the end of the year, you'll want to come back sooner. ”

"Yes. Lin Lei responded.

Hogg whispered: "Lin Lei, your father doesn't have much ability, the family will rely on you in the future, and if you give me this magic crystal core, it will be enough for your brother's expenses in the O'Brien Empire." At this point, I am very satisfied, but in the bottom of my heart I still forget the shame of my family. I hope you don't forget that our family's legacy is still out there. ”

Lin Lei felt his father's desire for him, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly.

"I have no other desires now, except to see the saber 'slaughter' before I die. Hogg's voice was deep.

Lin Lei felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately said: "Father, don't be so negative, you are only forty years old now, and you will have a long life in the future." I am confident that in less than ten years, I will definitely bring back the 'slaughter' of the war knife and put it into the family hall again. ”

"Ten years, good, good. Hogg nodded slightly.

......

At noon the next day, Lin Lei left Osan Town, and that night in the living room of the Baruch family, there were two people, Hogg and Hillman. The door to the living room was closed, and the dining table in the living room was holding the magic crystal nucleus of that generation.

Hillman was stunned by such a bag of crystal cores, and Hogg said, "Hillman, I will sell these crystal cores in the near future, and I want you to keep these gold coins on your behalf. ”

Hillman suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Lord Hogg, no, how can you give me such a big fortune. Aren't you in charge yourself?"

"Hillman, don't call me Lord Hogg, just call me Big Brother Hogg. Hogg smiled kindly.

Suddenly, Hogg stood up, facing east: "You say I'm in charge myself?" haha...... Hillman, you probably know best about our Baruch family, and about my Hogg. ”

Hillman was stunned, he didn't know why Hogg was mentioning this.

"It's been almost eleven years since that incident was hidden deep in my heart, and in the past eleven years, I felt that my heart was being bitten by ants, and I have endured it, day after day, year after year...... It's been eleven years in the blink of an eye. ”

Hogg's whole body trembled slightly.

Hillman's blue color changed, and he stood up suddenly, and said in horror, "Lord Hogg, do you want it?"

"Yes, I must investigate what happened back then, and I must avenge Linna. Hillman's face was hideous, and he looked angry.

"Lord Hogg. Hillman hurriedly said, "Didn't we check it in the first place? The enemy's forces are huge, and just finding that part is already terrifying." If you go to investigate, you will probably lose your life. ”

Hogg let out a low roar: "Death? I am still afraid of death? Hillman, you have no idea of my pain for the past eleven years, the torture of the soul. I've had enough. Now the magic crystal core that Lin Lei gave me should be worth about 80,000 gold coins. Totally enough for Wharton's expenses. With this gold coin, I don't have any burden. ”

"For so many years, I've been holding back, for what? It's not two sons, now that Lynley is grown up, Wharton is also in the O'Brien Empire. I don't have much to worry about anymore. ”

Hogg grabbed Hillman's shoulders with both hands and stared into Hillman's eyes: "Hillman, although you call me Lord Hogg, we have been brothers for so many years. At this point, I hope you will be able to fulfill me. ”

"Hogg, you ......" Hillman was anxious.

Hillman knew very well that if Hogg really went to investigate what had happened, he would probably lose his life.

"I've made up my mind, Hillman, you know, I'm worse than dead on a day like this. Hogg's eyes were a little red, and Hillman was full of helplessness when he saw Hogg like this. He could understand Hogg's thoughts.

Why has Hogg always been so stern and cold for all these years?

Others don't know, but Hillman knows very well that before the death of Ray and Wharton's mother, 'Linna', Hogg was a very cheerful person. Then since Lena died, Hogg's temperament has changed.

Although Hogg said to the outside world that Lina died in childbirth, Hillman, the housekeeper Ciri and others still knew the facts.

"Hillman, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I just ask you, can you help me?" Hogg stared at Hillman.

Hillman stared at Hogg for a moment, then let out a long sigh of weakness, "Okay, I'll help you." Hogg couldn't help but smile on his face, it was a smile of relief.
