Sunlight shines through the shade of the trees and onto the paved road, and the shadows of the light and shadow sway with the breeze. A dark carriage was speeding down the road, and the young man sitting in it frowned, leaning against the window, staring at the somewhat indistinct silhouette of the castle in the forest, and a cold and heavy aura flashed across his face.

As one of the best figures of the younger generation of the Bird family, Viscount Juventus has always been known for being cautious and careful. Although he was not a member of his family, he still obtained an official knighthood through his own efforts. In fact, his father even complained several times after drinking that if he was not the patriarch of the split family, then the first heir of the Bird family must belong to Juventus!

Juventus himself is not as obsessed with this identity as his father imagined, in fact, he is very happy that the identity of the first heir does not fall to him, but to Perzen. As a member of a large family, Juventus knows very well what it means to be the first heir, it is definitely not something that he can easily do, for him, the most important thing in life is stability first, as for the expectations and goals - if he can't even survive, then the next thing is not to talk about.

It is precisely because of his "calm and stable" attitude to life that Juventus is deeply appreciated by the old patriarch, it is true that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, but if every soldier wants to be a general, then it will be more troublesome. Especially in such a big family, history, traditions, regulations, etc. have already been formed, one of the characteristics of the big family is that authority does not allow challenge, and if every noble child wants to sit in that only position, then the whole family is not all messed up?

Closing his eyes, the young viscount stopped looking at the castle in front of him, and he rubbed his brow and began to think about it carefully.

At the beginning, Juventus didn't think it was a simple matter, although he had only been with the old patriarch for less than five years, he was very confident in his ability and evaluation. The old patriarch has always valued himself very much, and he has entrusted some very important things to himself. And right now, he would be sent to investigate a last generation of nobles who had been granted a noble domain by their own people?

From the time he learned about this mission, Juventus felt that the whole thing was full of weirdness, not to mention, as an assistant to the old patriarch, he was also very clear about Perzein's plan this time. After his failed return, the old patriarch not only did not send himself to maintain and stabilize the voice within the family, but suddenly sent him to the territory of the Twilight Forest, and then contacted Pelzen who had just returned from the Twilight Forest, and the conclusion can be drawn.

Of course, before leaving, Juventus also got detailed information about the new lord - Felix, a fallen nobleman, which was not a big problem, and Juventus also saw the problem with the exchange of territories, no one was willing to trade a rich manor for this barren forest known as a vicious curse and danger. Then the matter is very simple, his family used the unique means of the nobles to obtain the other party's land and exiled him here. In fact, many people in the Bird family know the story of that castle, and there is even a family member who died there, although as a young man, Juventus does not believe in this kind of story very much, but he is also with a trace of nervousness and uneasiness.

Juventus are not very confident about this mission. He was well aware that he had been sent to investigate the details of the young man named Julien Felix, and according to the old patriarch, he seemed to have some direct or indirect connection with Pelzen's defeat in the Twilight Forest. Or rather...... Since there was really no object to suspect, I focused my attention on this person.

Before leaving, Juventus had also considered this issue, and in his opinion, there were only two possibilities, one was that the young lord really had nothing to do with Pelzen, and he did not have this ability, all of which was just speculation. The second is that this young lord is a very scheming and dangerous person, since the other party can make Perzenn and the Pale Eagle suffer a secret loss, then I am afraid that he will not be able to reap any benefits.

And at this moment, after seeing the scene in front of them, Juve's heart has begun to sink slowly. He had already sensed that the second possible caste was getting bigger and bigger.

From this straight and smooth road, it can be seen that this lord is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, at least he is not one of those lazy nobles who eat and wait for death that Juventus have seen. As a member of the Bird family, Juventus are well aware that repairing roads is not an easy task. Of course, although it is not difficult for the nobles, who can imagine that a late nobleman who has been deceived by the nobles, lost his land, and barely survived only by the pitiful reputation of his own family, would care so much about his territory? If he was walking on a tortuous road at the moment, and saw a dilapidated town, then Juventus could have been relieved, but now, he was no longer so relieved.

Look at this path, it costs money, and according to intelligence sources, this lord doesn't have much money, how can he be willing to spend it?

Looking at this town, Juventus had been here once before by chance, and at that time he had the impression that it was a place of seclusion and almost no changes. But now? Looking at the demolished houses and the workers who were busy cleaning the air and drains, Juventus couldn't help but frown, this was definitely not done to welcome their arrival. It's very likely that this lord is really planning to do something here!

But hadn't he heard of the castle's fame?

Thinking of this, Juventus couldn't help but open the curtains again and looked at the castle not far away. Those dead people are not legends, and even if this lord is, who knows if he will survive this time?

Is this the youthful frivolity peculiar to young people, or is it .........

"What do you think, Thomson?"

Juventus withdrew his gaze to the middle-aged man sitting across from him, the same man who had gone to Castle Twilight ten days earlier and who was also a personal entourage of Viscount Juventus.

"What do you think of that lord?"

Thomson's stern face twitched slightly at the face of his master's inquiry, and then, with a frown, he carefully recalled for a moment before he spoke.

"I don't know, master. ”

"Don't know?"

Juventus repeated his words with some doubts, he was familiar with Thomson, he had been doing things by his side for many years, although his judgments were not necessarily profound, but he had considerable credibility, and he also had his own way of observing others, but now, how could he say that he didn't know? You know, the other party is a young nobleman in his early twenties?

"Could it be that he is a taciturn and unsociable person?"

"This ..............."

Thomson shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Not really, master. The Lord Felix had a very friendly attitude, and seemed to behave quite well, so there was nothing strange about it. ”

"So ..............."

Juventus couldn't help frowning, haven't you already summarized his characteristics?

"Maybe I'm older, so some aspects are more sensitive........."

Sensing his master's doubts, Tom also smiled wryly and continued to explain.

"I don't know why, but I always felt that there was something else hidden under the smile of the lord, perhaps because of this cursed castle, I always felt that this lord was completely different from the young nobles I had seen before. It is true that he showed me a rather friendly and friendly side, but, my master, I always felt that he seemed to be a little too indifferent to a young nobleman who lived alone in such a strange castle. ”

"Too indifferent?"

Juve quickly grasped the central issue in the words of their entourage.

"What do you mean ..............."

"This ............... I don't know what to say. ”

Strange to say, Thomson, who had always been able to express his opinions accurately, was a little hesitant this time, and in the end, after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"I'm very sorry, master, I don't know much about this lord. ”

"We're going to see him soon, anyway. ”

Juventus nodded, not paying attention to the strange expressions on the faces of his entourage, but instead focusing on the huge castle that was getting closer and closer to him.

"I think we'll be able to do it soon. ”

Thomson opened his mouth at the words of his master, but finally did not say the strange feeling. When he walked into the castle and saw Yuren, this experienced entourage had a rather strange feeling. It was as if the castle was one with the smiling young nobleman, as if he had raised a huge monster, looking down and observing his every move. It's a chilling feeling. But, now that I think about it, it seems like it's just a nightmare, as if it's just my own delusion, just a continuation of a nightmare.

A huge, pitch-black shadow shrouded the carriage's body, and when the carriage turned the ramp around the corner again, the Twilight Castle finally appeared in front of Juve.

At the moment of seeing this castle, Juventus only felt as if his heart was being pinched fiercely, it was not the first time he had seen this castle, fifteen years ago, he was a young and vigorous child, sneaking out of the house with his friends, and came here, in order to see what the extremely dangerous and terrible castle described in the mouths of adults at that time was like, but at that time, no one dared to approach this castle, even them, they only watched from afar. The black shadow that towered over the hillside, like a beast that chooses to devour, left a deep impression on Juve.

And now, after getting up close and personal with the castle, Juventus felt as if they had returned to fifteen years ago, and he no longer seemed to be the calm, calm viscount of the family, but a little boy, with fear, uneasiness and dazed eyes, staring at this terrible and huge structure. It has gone through so many years, so many storms, and it still stands here.

The mere thought of it was enough to make Juventus feel a little uncomfortable, and if he had previously thought that the curse of the castle was just some kind of coincidence, now he really believed in that terrible rumour.

"Master, we arrived. ”

When Thomson's voice rang in his ears, Juventus regained his spirits, he raised his head and looked out the window, and at the gate, the young nobleman was standing there, waiting for his arrival with a kind, elegant smile.

For some reason, at this moment, Juventus felt as if the castle had come to life in an instant, as if it was no longer just a building, but a terrible beast, led by its own owner, looking at the guests in front of it - or the food.

It's ridiculous.

Juve shook his head vigorously to shake off the uneasy feeling, and then he opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.

ps: After taking a heart ultrasound, cardiac enzymes and a chest X-ray, the doctor finally diagnosed pneumonia, which was actually pneumonia?=v=||How could I get pneumonia!? ......... But now it can only be like this, the doctor did not recommend that I get an injection, but prescribed me a bunch of medicines to take home, to be honest, Chinese medicine is really bitter......... Today,Tomorrow will start to resume the update.,I think it should be able to resume tomorrow's two changes.,This medicine is still somewhat effective.。 Today the situation is much better.
