The note that Sun Chenghuan had left for the man who was likely to be his maternal grandfather was placed on the dresser in the room where it was most likely his mother. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's like what Irene, who didn't go to the scene but basically knew everything, said, like a thief.

"There are suitable and safe places to talk in person. Time and place you put in a drawer. ”

Such a sentence without a beginning or an end, Sun Chenghuan wrote it after thinking about it and put it on the table.

didn't identify himself, and it even looked like a prank, but Sun Chenghuan knew that the room that looked like it was being cleaned every day would definitely happen early the next morning, and an old man would definitely be terrified when he saw the note that suddenly appeared.

As for the work of going to check the slips of paper and determining the time and place of the meeting......

Sun Chenghuan has never worried about who will do it.

There is a person who is much more positive than himself......

Sun Chenghuan knew why Erin was so positive about this matter.

It wasn't the curiosity and gossip she showed, but ......

Both of us are orphans, so we depend on each other as brother and sister. Now that you have your family, does that also mean that I also have a family?

Or maybe I'm the only one left orphaned......

Such a mood is complicated.

Therefore, Sun Chenghuan can also fully understand that Erin can sit here in his room and sit all day.

And after another sleepless night, early the next morning, when Sun Chenghuan met Erin who came to breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor of the City Lord's Mansion, he was not so surprised when he found that she also had two dark circles under her eyes.

At this breakfast, Sun Chenghuan and Erin were very silent.

There is no spirit at all.

After breakfast, Sun Chenghuan just carried out his daily martial arts training in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion as usual, while Erin sat quietly on the bench next to him, watching.

After an hour of martial arts training, Sun Chenghuan also sat on the bench.

Both of them were still silent.

"Erin?"

"Huh?"

"It's a nice day!"

"Hmmm......"

"How about hanging out?"

"Don't, sleepy. ”

"Then will you go back to sleep?"

"I can't sleep, I want to sleep, I slept last night. ”

“...... Why?"

"Nightmares. ”

"Oh......"

End of conversation.

The two of them still sat on the bench, speechless.

The autumn sun shines warmly on the body, and there is something indescribable

I don't know how long it took, Sun Chenghuan, who was already sitting there in a daze and was about to fall asleep, felt that something was leaning on his shoulder.

Look down.

Erin seemed to fall asleep leaning on her shoulder.

Sun Chenghuan smiled and closed his eyes as well.

......

That night, Erin ran to the old man, and in his drawer, saw a note.

So, at noon the next day, Sun Chenghuan appeared at the catch market next to the port in the southeast corner of Stormwind City.

It's a patrol or a stroll.

He was accompanied by the director of the Stormwind Seafood Market.

is a baron.

As Stormwind's largest trade bazaar, this market next to Stormwind's harbor supplies fresh seafood to the three provinces southeast of Astranna.

The variety of seafood sold here every day is enough for 100,000 people.

This is also the place with the highest concentration of people in the entire Stormwind City.

"Lord of the City, if you have a crush on some seafood and want to buy it back and let your servants make it and try it, just say. ”

The baron behaved very boldly.

A kind of panache in this place.

I don't know if it's a demonstration against Sun Chenghuan, or just a show of goodwill......

Sun Chenghuan leaned towards the former. So he just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.

And compared with his scheming subordinates, Sun Chenghuan still likes this kind of person who looks a little simple. Although this sentence just now at least means that this baron is not in charge of this market as he said before, and he will not come out to take care of things if no one is looking for him......

But who sits in this position, isn't that?

Sun Chenghuan, who was born as a commoner and has learned a lot of relevant knowledge of nobles, understands.

After strolling around the market for a while and seeing seafood that he had never heard of before, Sun Chenghuan came to a small shop in the market that was responsible for processing fresh fish for customers who bought fresh fish in the market and wanted to try it nearby.

The baron, who was in charge of market management, actually wanted to eat with Sun Chenghuan, but looking at the beautiful waitresses who followed behind Sun Chenghuan, as well as the little girl and sister, he also knew that if he had to go to dinner with him, he would definitely not be able to look good......

So, in the private room of the originally simple and somewhat simple shop, only Sun Chenghuan and his party were the only ones.

And......

"Hello. ”

"Hello, Lord Castle. ”

"Hmm...... You're welcome. Sun Chenghuan looked at the old man in front of him saluting him, and he was a little panicked for no reason.

This old man is the coachman.

He made an appointment with Sun Chenghuan to meet at this place.

"Mistress Edwin loves the two dishes he makes, so he basically asks me to buy them once a week. Trouble the city lord, you even made a special trip. ”

The old man had a very good expression when Sun Chenghuan stopped him and saluted.

"Well, what are you looking for me?" Sun Chenghuan directly pulled the topic to the point.

Since this old man is here to procure, he must not stay for too long.

Long talk needs to be short, let alone gossip.

"Hmm...... Since you can come to me, it means that you probably know what your name means, right?" The old man also saw Sun Chenghuan's seriousness, and naturally, he put away the politeness just now and got down to business.

"My uncle told me that it was the name my mother insisted on giving me. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "I said that Cheng Huan was under my knees or something, and my father wanted to change a more masculine name for me, but she stopped me." ”

"You're here today, and I'm sure you know that's more than that. The old man laughed, "You should think that your mother may have something to do with the Chenghuan Sect to make you call such a name...... You're not wrong in your guess. Your mother is Chenghuan Zong...... Well, it should be said that it was a hostage given by the Difia family to the previous city lord. ”

“...... Hostages?"

Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

Before he remembered, he was in the hotel not very far from here.

The words of the elder named Edwin.

"Yes. Edwin also said that he would give you a hostage, right?" the old man sighed with a sigh on his face, "You agreed, so that he would not doubt your identity." Although your surname is Sun, and your name is Chenghuan......"

“...... What do you mean?"

"You probably don't know the true meaning of the Defia family hostage, do you?" the old man put away his embarrassed smile and became serious.

Sun Chenghuan shook his head.

"The ancestral motto of the Defia family is not to live to be noble. The old man was still serious and pious when he said these words, "Until now, the derived meaning is that you must not become a nobleman. Therefore, apart from the large number of people in the Defiya family, there is no nobleman. Once a person becomes a nobleman, he must change his surname and leave the family of Defiya. This is the rule of the current Defia family. ”

“...... What a strange rule. ”

"Strange is strange, but everyone seems to think it's right. The old man shook his head, "How many waves of nobles have changed since the Holy Maiden calendar thousands of years ago? This cannot but be said to be the only one on the entire Ace continent. ”

"Hmmm......"

Sun Chenghuan nodded, the only one he didn't know, but at least he was luckier than a family surnamed Holmut......

Erin, the poor child.

"Just to maintain the stability of this family, there are always people to sacrifice. The old man sighed, "That hostage is." ”

"Oh?"

"Whenever Stormwind City changes a lord, the Defia family will choose one of the appropriate age to sacrifice to the city lord. ”

"Sacrifice...... That's a bit weird, isn't it?"

"Slave Lock, this contract oath, have you heard of it?"

“...... Is it ......?"

"Yes. The old man nodded. "The first time the hostage was offered to enter the City Lord's Mansion, it was to make such an oath on behalf of the entire Defiya family. ”

"Isn't this spell lost in the Mandate of Heaven calendar?" Sun Chenghuan looked surprised.

"Lost? The old man sneered, "For a family that has been inherited for seven or eight thousand years, do you think it would be so easy to let such a spell be lost?"

“...... That's right, too. Sun Chenghuan sighed.

He remembered the magic item that Joey had exchanged with Duke Vortagan some time ago.

Before, they were really naïve enough to think that all the magic items were gone......

Well, isn't the puppet waiting for your own puppet in the outer world also something that was born in the Manifest Calendar?

Reality is always more complicated than in books!

"It's just that the hostage who was the last city lord regretted it before entering the city lord's mansion. The old man got back to business, "And then she did something crazy......

“...... Run away?"

"Hmm. The old man took a deep breath and looked sad, "The night before entering the City Lord's Mansion, she tricked her maid into eating the hypnotic pastry that was supposed to allow her to sleep peacefully, and then quietly changed into the maid's clothes and escaped. ”

“......”

"That maid is my daughter. ”

Be quiet.

Sun Chenghuan looked embarrassed.

He guessed wrong...... Part.

"Actually, this matter seems to have been settled from the beginning. The hostage did so, and the hostage's father acquiesced, and my daughter ...... Got it, too. ”

"Huh?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned again.

"Yes, Chenghuan Sect. The old man let out a long sigh again, "Do you know what Chenghuan Sect is?"

“...... It's not very clear. ”

"Cheng Huanzong, change your life against the sky. Hehe, this kind of talk...... Only a stupid person like my daughter would believe it. ”

The old man said something to himself that made Sun Chenghuan stunned.

Changing your life?
