Chapter XXIV
investigate
The canonization ceremony has not yet arrived, but Mo Luo is too tired to do it, just the approval document is a very tempering thing. When I was a child, I still remember the way Eliade worked, I saw it on the left hand, I didn't see it on the right, and I did it myself, so I knew that it was boring and troublesome.
When drowsy, the door was pushed open, "Drink some blood." Ethan came in with a glass of blood, and the smell of blood made her sober up instantly.
"I'm bothering you to do this kind of thing." Moro took the blood from his hand and drank it down.
"I'm Lord Morrow's guard now, I should." Ethan teased her and stood behind her.
"You're here, what should I do over there?" She flipped feebly through the papers in her hand, then looked sideways at him.
"Of course there are people, and it's good news." Ethan grinned with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Good news?" She hadn't heard good news for a long time, and at first glance it was a little unfamiliar, "What good news?" ”
Ethan smiled mysteriously, "Most of these documents in your hand are to reconcile the social relations of the Demon Party, and there are too many opinions of the lower blood clans, and Ales also needs to make some adjustments internally." ”
"So?" She was a little confused, and looked at Ethan with raised eyebrows, waiting for his next step.
"Who do you suppose your lord's new guard officer is?" Ethan gave her a hint, just as Moro had done when he pestered him to ask questions.
She flipped through her Chinese and thought for a moment, "It can't be...... Barnett? ”
"That's smart." It's still such a compliment.
"In this way, Barnett's promotion is used to motivate the lower blood clans to enter politics, to show the determination of the Ales government, and to express its position to the people." She continued to analyze, and felt that there was indeed nothing wrong with Iliade's approach
"That's right." Ethan nodded.
She suddenly remembered something important, and asked, "Let's not talk about this for a while, I have something to ask you, is there ever a man named Mevis in the court of Ales?" ”
"Maywes? You're talking about Mayvis? Ethan's face had a strange look on his face, and a rare flash of panic
"Who is that?"
Ethan returned to his normal expression, "Your mother's female companion, Ales's famous courtesan. ”
"And where is she now? Since it's my mother's female companion, why haven't I ever seen it? She recalled carefully, and there was not the slightest news about the female companion.
Ethan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Missing, in your mother's ...... Before death. ”
She thought for a moment and gathered the timeline in her mind, "Can you be specific, what do you know?" ”
Ethan seemed to be stuck in the memory, "Mewes was originally your mother's female companion, but she disappeared, and after your mother's death, Mewes never appeared in the Ales Palace again, and even disappeared from the Demon Party, and no one knows where she went. Ethan suddenly felt strange that she had never asked anything about her mother after Iliad had beaten her a few times, "Why do you ask her?" This was something that happened long before you were born, and no one should have mentioned it to you. ”
She was watched by Ethan since she was a child, Ethan taught her to comfort her, she never doubted Ethan, so she took out the diary and put it on the table, "It's my mother's diary." When I was at the Military Academy, Instructor Dylan stumbled upon it while I was cleaning up the library. It's just that the strange thing is that I've been flipping through this diary for three or four years, and I don't know why I just think this diary is not so simple, the content on it seems to have been modified, and I've also tested whether this diary has any traces of magic, although I've tested for a seal, but I've never seen such a strange seal, let alone how to open the seal, I accidentally splashed a few drops of human blood on it last night, and it was unsealed, but I never opened it after I closed the diary. ”
"Show me." Ethan took the diary and looked at it a few times, put it in the palm of his left hand, and pointed at the diary with a glow from the end of his right finger, the diary only floated in the air for a few seconds, and the moment it was about to be opened, the page was closed, and it returned to its usual appearance.
"It's weird." Ethan shook his head rarely, his brows furrowed, "I seem to have seen this kind of seal somewhere, it was a long time ago, I can't remember it clearly." ”
Moro was slightly excited, because Ethan was the only one who had been following Eliad, and no one was more familiar with these past events than him, "I've tried many times and only succeeded yesterday, but if I use human blood to drip on it, it won't work." ”
Ethan suddenly remembered something, and suddenly spoke, but only half said, "Maybe it's the magic of the Altiant family?" You can ......"
"Try to get Roland to help?" Of course she knew what Ethan meant.
Ethan realized that he had said something wrong, so he had to say in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I know you're probably the first to think of Roland, but my Miss Morrow, you always forget that Lord Roland is the Demon Banquet Alliance, a member of Artiante. ”
Although she knew, she was still a little unhappy to hear Ethan say this, and Ethan's tone was a little alienated, "Then according to what you say, I am also a member of half of the Demon Banquet Alliance." ”
"You are the heir of Ales." Ethan reverted to the respect he should have.
She didn't like this, and there was a little displeasure in her voice, "Ethan, you're always like this. ”
Ethan sighed, remembering the past, and looking at her now, he felt that he needed to remind her a little, "I know you don't like to hear it, but I think I need to remind you that although you have the blood of the Altiant family of the Demon Banquet Alliance, you are a man of Ales......"
"Stop! I understand. Moro knew what she was going to say, after the death of her mother, the relationship between Ales and the Altiant family became very delicate, and Roland's status was also quite controversial, because she inherited two bloodlines alone and almost did not need another heir to inherit the Altiant family, she could have two inheritances by one person, of course, this point of view The Altiant family also has a lot of complaints about this, Eliad has always maintained a neutral attitude towards this, only declares himself to be the heir of the Ales family, and treats Roland equally and has never been exclusive, Ethan always reminded herself of Roland's rivalry with herself, and she never took it seriously, and she thought about it and said, "But this is my own private matter." ”
Ethan was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly, "Dear Miss Morrow, as long as it involves the secrets of the two families, it is never a private matter. ”
"Okay, I know." Mo Luo didn't want to continue this heavy topic, and blinked and thought, "Then can you tell me, this Mervis family?" ”
"No family, no one knows her last name." Ethan calmly.
Mo Luo was surprised, and continued to ask unwillingly, "That bloodline?" ”
"Not an inferior bloodline." Ethan denied it. "It's not an inferior bloodline, you can tell by looking at her skin, and of course we can't be sure if she's a noble."
Ethan nodded, "Of course, there is no trace without a surname." ”
She thought for a moment before she spoke, "It's like...... Adler the same. ”
"Yes."
"Then ......," she hesitated, whether to ask Adler's question or not.
Ethan understood what she was trying to do, "You're trying to ask Adler again, right?" ”
"Yes." She reluctantly admitted.
"Don't push me, Miss Morrow, I really don't know." Ethan replied as usual.
"But I really don't believe it, you follow the adults every day." She still didn't give up.
"I wasn't there that day." Ethan said with an oath.
She raised her voice and looked Ethan in the eye, "I don't believe you know anything else!" ”
Ethan was inexplicably flustered and disguised himself with a smile, "My dear Miss Morrow, if I knew why I didn't tell you?" ”
Hold the horse's head, rush ahead first, raise the sand and gravel on the road, the cadets standing in line are standing in military uniforms on both sides of the road, and the military hat and the iris medal on the chest that represents glory and status are shining, just like a few years ago when he stood aside in a military uniform and looked at Eliad on horseback.
"Hello Chief!" Mo Luo heard the students shouting in unison, and felt a little awkward in his heart, after all, he was the same student as them not long ago, the same blue military uniform, the same straight back, the same serious expression, and the same faint worry for the cruel training.
She dismounted neatly, already smiling, and took off her gloves to hold the other's hand.
"Instructor Dylan."
Dylan gave a standard military salute and said, "Sir Morrow! ”
Mo Luo trembled, and was about to burst into laughter, but because of his identity, he couldn't return the salute, and the exchange of identities tacitly agreed to each other, Mo Luo secretly looked at Dylan's side face, he looked as usual, and still looked serious.
Walking to the bottom of the steps, Morrow turned sideways to let Dylan go first, a move that made the students below who didn't know the truth look sideways, and Dylan only glanced at her and walked straight to the stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm Moro Ales." She smiled and introduced herself, "Six months ago, I was an ordinary cadet of the Ales Military Academy like you, and I was also one of the cadets under Instructor Dylan, and today I am here not only to review your training results for Lord Eliade, but also to tell you that no matter who or what blood, what family is equal here, the Demon Party provides everyone with equal opportunities to join the political and military forces, as long as you work hard, nothing is impossible!" Perhaps you want to say that I was born in Ales, and it is not convincing, then standing beside me is Barnett, my classmate of the same class, of course, like many of you, who is not of noble birth, and who is now the chief of guard of Lord Eliad in the palace of Ales, and who will go further, longer, and better, and you will have the same opportunities as him......"
Morrow's words made Dylan look sideways slightly, six months ago she was a student under him, and now she is standing on the stage to speak, her tone is not as high and excited as all the speakers, but it easily provokes the emotions of the students below, she wraps her slender figure in her uniform, her aqua blue eyes are clear and transparent, and her face is always as still as water, but when she really fights, she knows how terrible she is and how she will kill with one blow forever, it is hard to imagine that three years ago she was the smallest and weakest of all the students, and she was often sarcastically ridiculed as the penultimate number one of the waste, She will be beaten down after fighting with her fellow students in three moves, but now it is very different, and only she knows how much she has paid.
“…… Finally, I wish you all a smooth graduation and enjoy the life of the military academy. ”
It was still a familiar place, familiar lights, and the training ground outside the window still echoed the sound of the students' drills, and it was the first time that Mo Luo found that this dean's office had a good view of the entire training ground, and he could see everyone's every move.
