Chapter 12: The Storm

Brother Yao walked into the depths of the corridor.

Brother Youyao went up the stairs to the second floor, turned around, and said, "I'll go up for a while, you wait for a while, and when I report to my family, I can go on a trip with you." ”

"Really want to travel with me?" Xuan Hui was puzzled.

"Yes. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and I don't want to live forever as an heir. ”

Brother Youyao was sonorous and powerful, his tone was word by word, his expression and demeanor were different from the attitude of the hanger in the stall, and his green eyes looked shining.

"Okay." Xuan Hui waited silently in the hall on the first floor.

The footsteps faded away, and the squeaky footsteps clearly spread upstairs.

I don't know where the stairs lead, the size of the black castle can't be without space limitations, and it's not a haunted house.

In the hall, only Xuan Hui was left alone.

The atmosphere was monotonous and boring, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard clearly.

It's a bit boring to stand, walking slowly along the edge of the living room wall.

Only then did he realize that the interior was not so simple, and there were many medieval knights' armor on display, with different shapes, some holding steel swords, some holding round shields, and some axes, and spears, although they all looked different shapes, and some wore silver or red cloaks.

Each piece of knight's armor displayed in the castle is brand new, and it has not had any effect on the armor for a hundred years.

In addition to this, there are not two sculptures in the center of the hall.

A very elegant, gentle Tanabata blue bird, from the demeanor, demeanor, feel as if the sculpture broke off its wings and flew into the sky, and on the right is a Pokémon that looks a little sluggish and has a crown like a mountain on its head, Hippo King, King Pokémon, and is an endangered King Pokémon.

The two sculptures are made of very rare materials, using stone materials that are not easily corroded, and the construction is made of white marble.

Judging from the vivid depictions of the demeanor, these two works of art must also be the work of the master.

Whether it is Tanabata Blue Bird or Hippo King, they are very cherished Pokémon species.

Such Pokémon can be collected and used as valuable materials, and the owner of this castle has probably lived a good life before.

However, despite thinking so, when Xuan Hui turned his head, his gaze converged on the wall on the other side.

A huge oil painting, not just a master craftsman, can delicately outline such a beautiful lady, demeanor, and a thick and elegant smile at the corner of his mouth.

The lady in the painting, who looks very young, is holding a baby in her arms.

Looking at the baby's appearance, compared with the woman next to him, it is still a little familiar.

It seems that he saw it somewhere, but Xuan Hui definitely doesn't know this family, and he has no impression at all.

At this point, somewhere upstairs.

Under the huge screen, there are more than fifty rooms, entrances, and images of the vicinity outside the castle.

"Cut, what's the matter, who let them in." Someone slammed the keyboard and cursed.

"I don't know, but the young master is back." The old man who looked like a housekeeper on the side, with gray sideburns, and some of them were old.

As a steward who has served this castle for more than ten years, he is the person who has the most right to speak, even the man in front of him can't say that he will fire him, just fire him.

"That stinky boy still has a face back, he has been running around blindly lately, and he is not busy with his family's business, what does he want?"

The stern middle-aged man who spoke sat on the leather sofa with Erlang's legs crossed.

"The young master is still young, he is playful by nature, children are like this, my son was also when he was a child..."

But the smile on his face froze again.

"That's enough." The middle-aged man slapped the armrest of the sofa angrily, yelled, and said: "Is that kid crazy, this is not a game, as my son, he shouldn't have those irresponsible ideals, the outside world is not as happy as he thinks." ”

"Master, I know how to do it." The butler nodded slightly.

"Well, go ahead." The middle-aged man's face darkened.

Xuan Hui stayed in the hall and was a little bored and about to be in a daze, he estimated that it was about to be night.

This time, it was a little late, and he suddenly missed Kimori and the plesio, who were still waiting for him at the Pokémon Center.

I waited and waited and waited but I didn't wait for Brother Yao to come down, but even if I suddenly remembered that I didn't want to travel with him, I had to come out and say goodbye to him in person.

But there was still no one, and he went through all the references in the hall.

The range here is only so large in total, and it doesn't take long to walk through.

I was waiting a little bored, and finally there was a response from upstairs.

A series of footsteps coming downstairs.

However, the owner of the footsteps sounded from the sound was an adult, and the footsteps were heavy, unlike the weight of a minor in the developmental stage.

Soon, the sound of going downstairs was getting closer and closer, to the source.

Looking back, a man in a tuxedo and gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Don't wait, young master, he won't come, you can go." The old butler said.

"Huh?" Xuan Hui touched the back of his head in amazement, and he immediately said, "But he said that he wanted to travel with me, even if he didn't go, he had to go downstairs and talk to me, why didn't he even have a figure." ”

Xuan Hui naturally didn't know what the relationship between the family was, but he was still very indifferent and ready to ask for the other party's opinion again.

"Hmm. Young master, he doesn't want to go, this is his original words, you go, it's easy to have an accident if you go down the mountain late. The old butler continued.

"Well, can I meet him and say goodbye to him in person?" Xuan Hui pleaded.

"Nope." The old butler shook his head decisively, "Only those who are approved by the family can go upstairs, obviously I don't allow anyone to go upstairs without the invitation of the master of this house." ”

"I don't believe what you say." Xuan Hui raised his head and stared straight into the old butler's eyes.

The old butler stood still with an imposing attitude, in response to the gaze of the young man in front of him.

At the bottom of those deep eyes, he was full of decisiveness and perseverance.

"Nice looks." The old butler smiled slightly, took off his glasses and put them in his jacket pocket, "Isn't this just enough to deceive you, how long have you known the young master?" ”

Xuan Hui never expected the old housekeeper to ask him such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and soon it was his turn to fall into embarrassment.

He was shy and said, "Two hours." ”

"Ahem..."The look on the old butler's face was shocked again, and he almost didn't laugh out loud, "What... Just two hours? ”

"Yes, just two hours." Xuan Hui said.

"The young master rarely speaks and rarely communicates with people, but this does not mean that he is easy to deceive." The old butler's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe it, and said, "Just two hours of time together, let the young master be willing to travel with you." ”
