After the bitter cold of winter, bathed in the warmth of spring, the flowers and trees have returned to prosperity, Dolan Town is still as quiet and beautiful as in the past, there are scattered pedestrians on the fields and roads, and from their demeanor and movements, you can still feel the leisurely pace of life.

Charon sighed in his heart, accustomed to being resolute, and when he returned again, everything that should have been familiar to him had a faint estrangement.

It has been half a year since he left Dolan Town, and a lot of things have happened during this time, first he succeeded to the position of head of the family, rushed to the south to participate in the war with Flying Wing, and after killing several big knights, he was even more powerful, and he entered the country by killing and adding a district of domination.

Then there was a secret negotiation with the Flying Wing Kingdom, and then set the tone for the development of the ruling area in the future, and then went to the Eastern Capital for a meeting, divided the five major families, and also tried it with the strongest of Paul Paul, and now officially joined the Knight Alliance.

And without paying attention, the New Year has passed unconsciously, and in retrospect it seems like a lifetime away, and he is a year older, according to the tradition of Thors, 18 is a sign of adulthood, and the boy has become a real man who can shoulder responsibility.

"Let's go home first and see how Illya is doing. Charon's mind moved, he drew the reins, and the black steed spread its hooves and galloped past the passers-by, and with their astonished eyes, they headed in the direction of the northern outskirts of the town.

At this speed, Charon soon arrived at the Del family's manor, but was stopped by the guards.

"Stop! This is the Del family's manor, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter. The young guard with a green face had a stiff face, a little strange, but he could sense his seriousness in his voice.

The last time the big families sent people to kill him, most of the guards were poisoned by Betty, except for a few who survived, the manor's guards have been replaced. And Charon rarely showed his face in the past, and not all the subordinates of the Del family knew him, especially if he was transferred from other places.

Charon dropped the reins in his right hand, pulled a token from his chest pocket, and tossed it to the young guard.

The guard's face changed, he checked it a few times, and returned to the gate in disbelief. The captain of the guard hurriedly rushed over with a few of them, and after a fixed look, he immediately recognized the young master in the past and the head of the family today.

"Your Excellency!" the captain of the guard knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully, and the other guards knelt down one after another.

"Get up, all of you. As soon as Charon spoke, a heavy majesty naturally emanated.

The captain of the guard sighed with emotion, the original young master is now as powerful as a mountain, just now he glanced at it in a hurry, and saw someone coming from afar, he didn't expect it to be the young master at all, thinking that it was just a child of the Dolan nobles. I didn't expect the young master to change so much, a pair of eyes as sharp as a sword, which made him suffocate in his heart, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again, but that kind of vast temperament was deeply imprinted in his heart.

After retrieving the token, Charon nodded at the young guard, originally wanting to ease the young guard's heart, but he didn't expect him to blush even more.

"My lord, I'm going to tell the people inside to come out to meet you, please wait a moment. ”

The captain of the guard helped Charon lead the horse, his eyes inadvertently swept over the empty sleeve of Charon's left arm, and his heart tightened, the rumors were true, although the Del family won the battle this time, but the head of the family also paid a lot of price.

Charon rejected the captain's proposal, the nobleman was very pompous, but he had never liked this troublesome practice, "I can go in myself, and you will continue to guard." ”

The guards of the manor are not strong, and the dozens of guards are basically middle and low-level knight attendants, plus the new musket and Nancy in the house, it is enough to deal with one or two knights, but it is often not enough to rise to the level of the top family. However, no one dares to attack here, and after the succession of the head of the Del family is completed, who will do it again is just an excuse for the Del family to start a war.

Walking on the cobblestone road, Charon looked at the house in the distance, its appearance had changed a little, the last time it was damaged by some damage, and it was simply asked to come to a major renovation, which had not started when they left, and had changed a lot when they returned.

A maid who was hurrying away with a futon stopped, looked at the man in front of her, and exclaimed, "Young master, no, master, you're back?!"

"Well, I'm back. Charon smiled slightly, and when he came home, he was in a happy mood, not as expressionless as ever.

The maid, who had never seen Charon's smile before, turned red in both ears with shame, and stammered, "Welcome home!

Before she could finish speaking, the maid trotted away with her things in her arms, forgetting all the rules that she was supposed to follow.

"Am I so terrible?" Karon rubbed the muscles of his face, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart just now, it seemed that he was still fit to keep his face paralyzed.

Shaking his head, Charon walked into the house, found a maid who was cleaning, and asked, "Do you know where Illya is?"

"Huh?" the maid was startled by the voice behind her, but when she turned around and saw that it was Charon, she patted her chest, "Master, you're back." Miss is upstairs now, if you want to go to Miss better change time"

Seeing the maid struggling, Charon frowned, "What's the matter?"

Under Charon's questioning, the maid revealed the truth, "Miss is teaching the two new little maids, if you disturb at this time, Miss will be furious." Sir, you're still"

Speaking of this, the maid's voice stopped abruptly, although she changed her name, she still habitually regarded Charon as the silent young master before, and then it suddenly occurred to her that Charon in front of her was already the head of the Del family, and he was the only one who could make a voice in this family.

Knowing this, the maid became restrained, and carefully lowered her head, not even noticing Charon's severed arm.

"Is Illya eating in broad daylight? too careless, and it's not a good thing for vigilance to go with the passage of time. Charon walked up the stairs and slowly walked towards Elijah's room, where the perception had already spread while the person was still on the way.

However, the room was well insulated, and his hearing could not hear anything after closing the doors and windows. The golden light of the skeleton of Saint Hugh in Charon's sea of consciousness flashed, and he began to amplify his perception, "Huh, this level of perception is stronger than that of ordinary knights, there is no reason why I can't hear it at all, Illya's room seems to be isolated, is it the effect of the enchantment?"

With doubts in his heart, Charon came to Illya's door silently, holding his hand on the door handle, with a soft "click", he actually pushed in, "Illya, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room." ”
