Chapter 87: Rumors of a Struggle for the Throne

In Locke's memory, the dining room was probably the largest place in the Norton family's manor. Whenever my father decided to hold a banquet, the restaurant was always full of people, with large glasses of wine and large pieces of meat, eating, drinking, singing and dancing, and every time it was a mess.

Lorist found that Sedcamp and Pat were not walking towards the restaurant that Locke Jr. remembered, but turned a corner, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Isn't the restaurant over there, what are you doing here?"

"Young master, do you remember the location of the restaurant?"

"No, it's not nonsense, I've only been away for ten years, and the memories of my childhood are still there, of course I do. Lorist said.

"Young master, we don't go to the big restaurant. After the death of the old man, the big restaurant was no longer used. We went to the small restaurant. Said Sedercamp.

The small dining room that Sederkamp said was a wooden house built in the courtyard outside the kitchen, with log walls and a log floor, and a long log table in the middle, which was estimated to seat a dozen people on either side. Behind the log table was a stone fireplace, and at the moment the fire was in full swing, and several large pieces of meat were inserted into the long iron chisel and rattled on the fire......

A chubby cook brought a large basin to the table, and in the basin was a large steaming loaf of bread with a long serrated knife stuck in it. Sedercamp pulled out his knife and began to cut, first cut three slices of bread and put them on a wooden plate and handed them to Lorlist: "Young master, eat it while it's hot, it tastes good." Salt and honey on the table, you have to add yourself at will. ”

The cook brought a large pot of boiled pork ribs with beans, then took the iron chisel with the pieces of meat inserted in the fire, cut a large plate of roasted meat and put it on the table, and finally brought a large pot of boiled apples, and poured maple syrup on top.

"The dishes are ready. The cook said coldly, and turned away with a hesitant face.

"What's wrong with her? We didn't offend her, did we?" Setcamp looked at Pat, a little stunned.

Pat shook his head.

"You didn't offend her, but you brought the second young master back, and she was very unhappy. The voice of Miss Baisha came from the door, and the red-haired female knight strode in.

"Why is she unhappy that we brought the second young master back?"

"She used to be the lady-in-waiting of the lord and gave birth to a son, although it was an illegitimate child, but she also had the blood of the Norton family. If the second young master doesn't come back today, maybe his son will be able to compete with several other illegitimate sons for the throne of the head of the Norton family tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The red-haired knight drew her knife from the bread, put an apple stained with maple sugar and put it on a wooden plate, and then cut the apple into small pieces......

"She's daydreaming. Pat's succinct comment.

"Little Locke, what level of fighting spirit is it?" asked the female knight, poking a small piece of apple into her mouth with her knife, and asked nonchalantly.

"Black iron. Lorist replied.

"You've been in Molent City for ten years, and you've become a black iron? Sure enough, you're the most unproductive of the three brothers. Little Locke, the ugly words are ahead, Miss Ben has no objection to you being the head of the family, after all, there is no one in the Norton family who is more justified than you. But you have to remember, one, don't mind Miss Ben's business, you're not qualified!Second, the Norton family is very weak now, and you can't afford to toss, so you'd better stay in the castle after becoming the head of the house, understand?"

"Miss, you don't know, young master, he ......" Sedkamp wanted to say something.

"Shut up! there's no place for you to talk here!" the knight snorted.

Lorist nodded.

As if she had won the battle, the female knight snorted with satisfaction and strode out.

"The eldest lady is too self-righteous. Said Sedercamp.

"The frog at the bottom of the well. Pat said.

Lorist said, "Sedekamp, Pat, you two have finished eating and inquire what is going on in the castle? ”

.......

"Young Master, it's here. Pat took out the key that Mr. Cress had given him and opened the door to the study.

There was a strong musty smell in the study because it had been closed for a long time, and Pat hurriedly opened the window to let the cold and fresh wind blow in and fill the entire study space.

After being busy for a while, Pat said, "Young master, I'll go out first, if you call me for something, I'll be at the staircase." ”

Lorris nodded and sat down behind her desk.

In Locke's memory, his father, Baron Norton, sat behind this desk, issuing orders and instructions, keeping his men busy.

Pulling open the drawer, there are some account books and notes inside, and at the very back is a tin box. Lorist remembered that this tin box was the family's fighting spirit cheats, and when he opened the tin box, a thick beast skin book appeared in front of him, and on the cover of the animal skin book were four quaint fonts "Red Blood Fighting Qi".

Lorist, isn't the secret of the family's fighting spirit a fierce fighting spirit? When did it become a red-blooded fighting spirit?

rummaging through Locke's memories, he finally found such a scene: Locke Jr. was copying cheats, and asked his brother while copying, "What are you doing?"

The elder brother replied: "I'm putting a book cover for Bai Sha's vindictive cheats, and the book cover she put next to her is all torn, so I'll change it for her." ”

Little Locke said: "I also want a book cover, brother, you can't be partial." ”

My brother said, "I know, fortunately I wrote two, and the book cover with this little bit is for you." ”

A book cover with Flame Fighting Qi written on it was thrown in front of Xiao Locke, and then Xiao Rock took it and used it as a book cover in front of the first two levels of the cultivation method manual of Red Blood Fighting Qi that he copied......

The dead boy has killed his brother. Lorist couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that he was using someone else's book cover as a cover, so that he thought that the fighting spirit of the family was of fire attribute, and it was in vain after tossing for so long, and finally he had no choice but to practice the ancestral "Golden Water Decision" in his previous life.

If he had known that the family's Fighting Qi secret book was Red Blood Fighting Qi, Lorist would have gone directly to the Mercenary Guild in Morent City to buy the secret book of the Bloody Fighting Qi of the exhibition, which was also a high-level fighting spirit secret book of blood attributes, which was treasured by the Mercenary Guild and marked a sky-high price of 15,000 gold merit.

The biggest difference between the blood attribute and other fighting qi is that the attributes of the assimilation cultivator are assimilated, whether you are a fire attribute or a water attribute, a light attribute or a dark attribute, after cultivating the blood attribute of the dou qi, the cultivator's attribute will be transformed into a blood attribute and will never be able to turn back. This is also the reason why Lorist vigorously collected the Douqi cheats of various attributes in Moriente City for research, but he didn't think of the idea of fighting the blood attribute Douqi cheats. Because the blood-attribute Dou Qi cheats are not listed at all except for the mercenary guild's one, and you can't buy it if you want to.

Turning over the Red Blood Dou Qi, the first two chapters are the familiar cultivation schematic diagram of the six-pointed star blood circulation. Turning over to the Silver Rank cultivation chapter, Lorist carefully read all the key points of cultivation, and remembered the position and difference of each node in the bloodline cycle of the Silver Rank and the Black Iron Rank. Then mobilize the fighting qi and start practicing the bloodline circulation of the silver rank......

Lorist drew his sword, and the sword shone brightly. Lorist smiled bitterly, he can be regarded as being promoted to the silver rank, but this sword can't last, just like the black iron rank, the fighting energy in the bloodline is running towards the meridians and dantian, without the fighting energy in the bloodline, it is impossible to maintain the sword for a long time like others. Forget it, let's continue to be a black iron rank, it's actually not bad to use dark yin people.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Lorist said.

A girl in a white maid's dress timidly entered the study, glanced at Lorist quickly and lowered her head: "Second young master, your bedroom is ready, just upstairs, go up the stairs at the corner." And your futon has been replaced with a new one. If you're going to take a shower, pull the blue bell cord next to the bed and we'll be ready for you in no time......"

The girl's voice grew lower and lower, until finally she was almost a mosquito humming......

Lorist thought it was funny, the girl didn't know why she was so afraid of herself, and waved her hand and said, "Go down first, I will tell you if you need it." ”

When the girl heard of the amnesty, she bowed her head and turned away, almost hitting Sedkamp, who was coming in through the door.

Sedercamp looked at the girl in surprise: "Irina, is that you?"

When Sedcamp entered the study and closed the door, Lorist asked him, "Did you know that girl just now?"

"Yes, her name is Irina. was originally the personal maid of the third young master, and she was one year older than the third young master. When the third young master died, she was the saddest person who cried to death. Sedcamp replied.

"Is there any news you heard?" asked Lorlist.

"Yes, young master, you can't imagine how lively it has been here in the past few months, and there are several factions fighting to the death for the position of the head of the family. As a result, the second young master, you came back, they all turned off the fire, and they didn't have to play. Sedecamp pouted, as if something funny had happened.

"Isn't that funny? ”

"Young master, Miss Baisha has been with the eldest young master for several years, but she didn't even lay an egg, but she found a maid, and this maid was favored by the eldest young master twice and gave birth to a boy. This time, the eldest lady was going to help the boy to the position of the head of the family, but she was opposed by everyone, the eldest lady was riding a tiger when it was difficult to get down, and the second young master, when you came back, you could be regarded as finding a step for her to go down. ”

"Why is there any objection to having that kid in charge?" Lorist asked.

"Young master, that child is only four years old, and he is still a generation younger, so even if the eldest lady covers the sky in the family, everyone is still resolutely opposed. ”

"Who are the opponents?"

"Well, young master, you have to be careful with the one named Morosinger, he is your father's first illegitimate son, the oldest, I heard that he has the support of several families led by the garrison of Kitano City, and because of this, Morosinger has also been opposed by others. Also, half a year ago, Viscount Kenmax led troops to attack our family castle, and there was a man named Willigesang who was very brave, he was your father's seventh illegitimate son, and some of the old people in the castle liked him very much. The rest was the cook's son, and she found many servants to show their unanimous support for her son to be the head of the house, and it turned out that there were two other servants who had been your father's maids who thought that their son could do the same, and they also found someone to help, so those servants split into three factions, and fought back and forth......"

"Stop...... Sederkamp, first of all, you can tell me how many illegitimate children my father has?" Lorist felt a headache, in his previous life, watching TV, those wealthy families had a grudge against an illegitimate child, and he didn't expect that his illegitimate brothers would have a class.

"Seventeen, plus your brothers is twenty," Serdecamp replied without hesitation, "plus you, my lord, there are eleven who are still alive at present." ”

"All men?"

"No, my lord, there are four women, two are married, and two are still young, only ten years old. ”

"So all the men who are still alive have joined the competition for the position of head of the family?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"I see. "I've always wondered why Viscount Kenmax is building on our family domain, but our Norton family hasn't reacted at all," said Lorlist. It turned out that he was the king behind closed doors, and before he could tell which was the head of the king, he didn't see what was going on outside, and he didn't even care about the children of the family who were trapped in the copper mine. It really doesn't make sense. ”

Sedkamp wondered, "My lord, why doesn't the old manager of Kress let them mess around?"

"Simple, the boss also has to prevent me from going back to inherit the title and family domain, in case you can't find me, what if something happens to me? Lorist explained.

"Fortunately, the adults are back, so they don't have to fight now. Sedkamp rejoiced.

"That's why I feel as if the people in the castle don't welcome me back, and I'm the one who makes them less lively. It's late at night, Sedkamp, where do you and Pat sleep at night?" asked Lorist.

"In the guest room at the top of this staircase, Pat and I will take turns on duty for the night, so you can rest in peace, my lordship. Said Sedercamp.
