Dio was shocked, in his impression, Sophia rarely talked about her mother, there are two possibilities, one is that when Sophia was very young, Lady Miranda had died, and the other is that she knew the cause of Lady Miranda's death, which was an untouchable pain for her, so she never mentioned it.

"You succeeded in the end, didn't you?" said Dio faintly.

"I didn't do it, it's all Barrick......" Howard said in a crying voice, "It really has nothing to do with me......"

"Yes, you're a good person, and none of the bad things have anything to do with you. Dio stood up and looked around, several seriously injured and not dead warriors were well-behaved, and when they saw Dio's gaze sweeping over, they immediately held their breath, endured the severe pain, and tried to remain motionless.

Dio's hands kept waving, and one wind blade after another shot out, and a series of screams rang out in the field, and Howard was so frightened that he stepped back with his hands and feet.

Dio glanced at Howard, turned and walked back, and just as Howard was crying with joy, Dio's fingertips flicked, and a wind blade shot out, piercing Howard's throat.

The joy on Howard's face instantly stiffened, and then he slowly fell backwards.

Dio quickened his pace, and his figure flashed a few times in the night, and then disappeared without a trace.

When Dio returned to the manor, it was almost dawn, he did not alarm others, quietly returned to his small courtyard, stood at the door and hesitated, then turned around and walked to the side room, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the window a few times: "Roy?"

"Who? is it...... Is it the young master?"

"It's me, you come out for a moment. Theo said.

There was the sound of dressing inside, and after a while, Roy appeared at the door and asked nervously, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to ask you, when did Vasily leave?" said Dio, after they returned to the manor, they did not see Vasily, it was already clear that Vasily had left.

"Young master, he will leave after you leave. Roy said.

"That's right......" Dio sighed lightly, he felt a little lost in his heart, Vasily usually talked about the big people on the plain of Chris with a disdainful look, in fact, at that time he should have known that the pond here was too small to raise 'big fish' like Vasily. But then again, he was lucky to have Vasily's careful guidance, and he should be satisfied if the heart is not enough to swallow an elephant.

Someday, I'll fly out of this pond too...... Dio secretly encouraged himself in his heart, listening to Vasily say that he seemed to have been chased by the enemy and fled all the way to the plain of Chris, then, when he has enough ability, he will definitely help Vasily!

In fact, Dio only learned about the warriors' fear of aging from the canon, but did not know much about the process of decay, and that day was destined to be impossible, and when he was fully grown, Vasily no longer needed his help.

"Alright, you go back and rest. Dio nodded, and then walked to his room.

Gently pushing the door open, Dio felt a wave of tiredness, he opened his mouth and yawned, at this moment, he suddenly felt something, his body suddenly tensed, and then, he smelled a familiar body fragrance, and his expression became relaxed again.

"Sophia?"

The figure sat up from the bed and walked slowly towards Dio, who was Sophia.

"Nothing's wrong, is it?" asked Sophia softly.

"Nope. Dio shook his head, his expression was a little unnatural: "I just went to ......"

Sophia had reached out and gently covered Dio's mouth, she would rather not have any explanation than hear a lie, especially the one that Dio had told her.

The next moment, Sophia's hands passed over Dio's waist, and her face was pressed against Dio's chest, and she was speechless for a long time, only listening to Dio's heartbeat so quietly.

Dio stopped talking, and hugged Sophia's thin waist tightly.

I don't know how long it took, Sophia raised her head and gently nudged Theo: "You go to bed early, there will be something tomorrow." ”

"It's so late, you can rest with me, too. Dio whispered.

Sophia thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, if you go back, you will also alarm Belle and Brigitte, they suffered a lot a few days ago, let them rest for a while." ”

"Do you have to find a reason to convince others or yourself no matter what you do?" said Dio. The two of them are not yet married, and they are both grown up, and it is somewhat inappropriate for the three watchmen to run together in the middle of the night, and there is no way to do it in the wild, and the gossip of the servants has to be taken into account at home, but Sophia has a peculiarity, when she wants to do something, and that thing is a little deviant, she always finds a good reason to convince herself.

"Reason?" Sophia was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Dio meant, and pouted: "Then I'll go!"

Dio laughed, picked Sophia in his arms, and walked to the head of the bed.

"Be quiet!, don't disturb anyone!" Sophia said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Roy is still a little clever. Dio gently put Sophia on the bed: "If you can't hear it, he can't hear anything." ”

With that, Dio leaned down and lay down in the place that Sophia had given up.

Sophia seemed a little shy, turned to face Dio with her back, Dio did not force Sophia, only put his hand on Sophia's waist, this way, too many things have happened, regardless of spirit or **, they are very tired, so it didn't take long, the two of them have fallen asleep one after another.

When I woke up, it was almost noon, the two of them hurriedly washed up, and rushed to the restaurant, Gordon and Raymond were talking about something, in fact, it was not breakfast, but lunch.

Seeing Sofia and Dio appear, Raymond immediately shifted his target: "Why did you get up?"

"It's so tiring. Dio explained as he sat down in his chair.

"Oh, so tired...... Raymond lengthened his voice.

No one joined in the fun, Sauron and Avery and the others were now under the fence, and whether their future was bitter or sweet was all arranged by Dio and Sophia, and they didn't dare to joke nonsense.

Seeing that no one answered, Raymond coughed dryly, and then changed the subject: "Sophia, your cooks here are not good, compared to Ellie's skills, they are much worse." ”

"What do you mean? Let Elle be a cook here? Don't you think you're too wronged Elle?" said Theo.

"No grievances, no grievances......," Ellie said hurriedly.

"I've already thought about Ellie. Sophia said: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will send a letter to Isabel and ask her to send someone to pick up little Angel, first go to the academy to do a test, I can find a chance for little Angel, but can I do it...... It also depends on little Angel's own talent. ”

Seeing Sophia talk about little Angel's future, Elle listened intently.

"If little Angel is admitted, then Elle will open a restaurant in Santis City, and I can pay for it. Sophia continued: "Although I can guarantee that Isabel will take good care of little Angel, but my mother is not around, and I am worried that little Angel's surname will become withdrawn, so it is best for you mother and daughter to be together." ”

"Miss Sophia, thank you so much!" Ellie's eyes moistened, and it was undoubtedly an opportunity to enter the Santis Academy to study.

"You're welcome, Ellie, huh...... I'll call you sister from now on. Sophia smiled: "Moreover, little Angel is also my daughter, which is what I should do." ”

Ellie's face was flushed with excitement, but little Angel didn't know what was going on, and looked at this curiously for a while, and then at that, enjoying it.

"By the way, Raymond, you can't always be idle. Sophia said, "You will send the letter, don't you know Isabel?"

"I'm going to deliver the letter?" Raymond opened his mouth.

Gordon on the side showed a gloating smile, telling you to be open-mouthed, and you were retaliated against, right?!

"I'm a little worried about letting someone else go, if something goes wrong along the way, it will delay the big thing. Sophia said: "The current situation does not allow us to be optimistic, first of all, we must be wary of retaliation from the county, and the Franvi bandits, God knows when they will appear on the plains of Chris, so, we need support!"

"Who will support us?" asked Gordon.

"Do you think I went to Stantis Academy to study just to learn secret skills?" Sophia said: "No, I'm here to make more friends and weave my own relationship network, in addition to the **naked interest entanglement between people, there is another thing that cannot be ignored, human affection! For example, you and Raymond, what makes you taste happiness and bear danger together? It's human affection! Isabel and I, It's the same with Shelly, if I ask Isabel for help, she won't sit idly by, and I won't refuse if Isabel needs help in any way. ”

"Actually...... Dior and Gordon and I can hide in the depths of the plains and forget what we said......" Raymond kept squeezing his eyes, he was reminding Sophia, didn't he say that we should go and find the shards of the stars?

"It's useless, just dodging will never solve the problem. Sophia said.

"Several of the bandits of the Franvi Gang are Extreme Samurai, so Isabel and they came...... It doesn't help much, does it?" said Gordon.

"I can ask my mentor for help. Sophia said softly.

Gordon and Raymond were both a little moved, and it could be seen that Sophia's relationship network was very successful, and it was not easy to get the mentor of Santis Academy, which meant that Sophia had approached the core of Santis Academy, and in time, she would definitely become a member of the core.
