"I persuaded her, but she refused to live or die, and I had no choice, otherwise you should talk to her yourself?"

This is Sun Chenghuan's reply to the city lord who came to the post station to find him the next day, and at the same time looked at him with expectant eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Naturally, he was disappointed.

It's just that in front of Sun Chenghuan, he was embarrassed to show his disappointment too obviously.

I can only say that I have worked hard for you, and then I left in a hurry. Before leaving, he said that he would send a servant to help take care of Erin.

This time, he didn't give Erin a chance to refuse.

Although Sun Chenghuan still can't understand why this city lord is so positive, but he can't reach out and don't hit the smiling person, for this kind of kindness, he can only accept it with apprehension.

The next day passed quickly.

Because the night before, after many years, the two people who finally didn't have to sleep in one room seemed to be sleeping well.

By the time they woke up, it was already noon.

And in the afternoon, the servant sent by the lord of the city to help take care of Erin was in place.

A middle-aged man.

A middle-aged man who almost scared both Sun Chenghuan and Erin and fell off their chairs.

Old acquaintances.

"Two ...... Great!"

“...... Uncle, why are you here?"

"I don't have money to eat, so I found a decent family to become a house slave?"

“...... What should I call you now?"

"Oh, my name is Degas. But it doesn't matter if you call me Reese, the name means more than that now. ”

“......”

This conversation takes place between Erin and the middle-aged man.

And the ...... that can make Erin call uncle so unburdened

I'm afraid there is only one in the world.

The name used to be Reese, and now, this uncle called Degas.

"Where's your hair?" Sun Chenghuan was shocked by another point.

"Didn't you say in the book you gave us? The Gut tribe has been wiped out, so I'm going to go out with that bright red hair, isn't that a problem for myself?" Uncle Reese said with a smile, "That's why I shaved all my hair!"

“...... Where have you been for the past three years?"

"It's a long story...... Can I sit down and talk about it?" said Reese with a smile.

"Please take a seat!" Sun Chenghuan hurriedly wanted to get out of the way of his seat.

"No, if someone comes in and sees me sitting in the upper seat, something will happen. Reece sat down with a nonchalant look.

The scene was a little awkward.

It seems that no one knows where to start.

"You two, are you alright?" the children didn't know how to speak, and the elders naturally had to break the silence, Reese asked Erin with a smile.

"Okay...... I followed Brother Chenghuan to Mills, Second Academy. I read books in it for three years. ”

"You're in school too?"

"Well, there's a barrier of light anyway, and no one can see me. ”

"Oh, the Great Sage is quite generous, she didn't even get this back......" Reese nodded, "What did he do to you?"

"It's good, it's like my own brother. Erin hurriedly replied.

Reece was stunned.

glanced at Sun Chenghuan.

"Uncle, why did you get here?" asked Erin.

Even Sun Chenghuan, who didn't speak next to him, could hear that she was changing the topic.

"Oh, after Yingao left, I went to find someone from my sect...... Well, it turned out that the sect had long been abandoned. Reece glanced at Sun Chenghuan and found that Sun Chenghuan heard the word sect, and was stunned, "You didn't tell him about my sect?"

"No, I don't know very well, how can I tell him!" Erin shook her head, "And then, you won't be able to welcome the sect without you......"

"That's not my home, what am I going back for?" Reece let out a long sigh, "I...... Took a trip back to Carter. ”

“...... And then what?"

"It's a thing!" Reese sighed, "because of me...... My father's duke was also lost, and the family has been in decay ever since, and the fief or something has long been transferred to someone else. The members of the family have also changed their names and surnames......"

“...... I'm sorry for me, uncle, you're ......" Erin lowered her head.

"It's not because of you. Reece shook his head, "It's because...... Your uncle. ”

“...... Well, then why are you in ......"

"I stayed in Carter for half a month, and I couldn't stay any longer. Reese smiled bitterly, "Then I went back to Moes, thinking to myself, go find your mother's grave, and keep watch by it, and finish this life, and forget it...... But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, as if I should have revenge......"

"So you're here to kill the city lord?" Sun Chenghuan finally interjected.

"It would have been. Reece nodded, then shook his head again, "It took me a long time to find out that the surname Holmut hadn't completely disappeared in the country of Merce. There is only one that can be found, which was moved to Penglai Country after the Battle of the Mandate of Heaven, and moved back to Merce Country before Penglai Country disappeared. ”

"Just this one, this thousand years ......"

"They were cursed. Reese smiled, "Moreover, it is a blood oath and curse, and the blood is continuous, and the curse will not be dispersed." People with the surname Hormut can only be passed on alone. If two sons are born, one of them will die......"

“...... How can there be such a curse?" Sun Chenghuan's face was ridiculous.

"I'm curious, too, but I think it's possible that someone from the Holy Maiden Cult has quietly descended. Reece sighed, "Because of that person's ambition, he forced the Holy Maiden Sect to get on his thief ship, and as a result, the Great Holy Maiden, who had just been elected for less than three years, was compensated, so that the inheritance of the Holy Maiden Sect was directly cut off......

"Then why is the city lord so excited about Erin's appearance!" Sun Chenghuan was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't you be resentful?"

"Those of us who know what happened back then will naturally guess the origin of the curse in them, and they don't know it themselves!" Reese finally brought a little smile to his face. "They thought it was a curse imposed on them by the Penglai people...... So it's not very friendly to Penglai people all the time. ”

"I don't know, it's impossible......" Sun Chenghuan remembered, when they met yesterday, he wanted to be shot to death by the assignee without asking for any reason.

Later, Erin had to pester herself, and his face was so distorted that she couldn't even look at it......

"Would you tell your son that you killed your own brother and killed everyone in the family except yourself?"

Embarrassed.

It really won't be said......

Not only will he not speak, but he will also make his children have to be brothers, friends and brothers.

"Our clan has gone through such a great ordeal, and everyone who remains is the elite of the family, everyone must love each other and assist each other in order to make our family prosperous again......"

That's sure he said.

It's just that with this blood oath curse, there is no chance to love each other with your brother, right?

"So, he found Erin just like he found Po?"

"yes!"

"No, in general, you haven't seen someone with the same surname in a thousand years, and you don't suspect one when you suddenly pop up?" asked Erin with a curious look on her face.

"There's nothing to doubt about this. Reese shook his head with a smile, "As long as the surname is Hormut, they will die......"

“...... Not really......"

"How could it be, a thousand years ago, there were adopted sons, and as a result, as long as the adopted son changed his surname to Hormut, he would get sick and die, and he tried again and again. Reese's smile had a very mixed meaning in it.

"So...... Uncle, have you decided not to take revenge?"

"There's nothing more to report. Reese's smile was put away, "If it's still the people of the past, then I will definitely not be ambiguous, it's been almost two thousand years, and they don't know what happened back then, plus this curse...... Forget it!"

"In this way, this city lord will definitely not give up Erin, right?" Sun Chenghuan nodded and diverted the topic.

Revenge, even if it has been put down, is still a scar.

It is better not to touch it if you can not touch it.

"Surely not! I came this time, and he told me to find out why Irene couldn't leave you for just one night......" Reece laughed again, and, very badly, "is she any kind of affection for you......

"Yes!" Erin nodded with a single face beside her, "If you don't marry him!"

“...... Don't make a fuss. Sun Chenghuan had a black line in his head.

"Well, that's what I'm going to do with him. In fact, he was also curious whether two people with the surname Hormut could not meet, or two peers with the surname Hormut could not meet...... Or acquaintance. ”

"So he's going to try? No, it's been a thousand years, and they haven't tried?"

"Why haven't you tried!" Reese laughed, "I've tried everything I could, including having bastards out there or something, I've tried it, but I can't." ”

“...... That's good, otherwise what if Erin is in any danger......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.

From the moment he heard that curse just now, Sun Chenghuan was a little drumming.

In case the curse is fulfilled......

He was even thinking about finding a way to secretly destroy the city lord's house for a while, so that Erin would be safe.

"When the curse was cast, Erin was with us in the rift of time and space, and the curse could not have befallen her. Reece shook his head earnestly. "Don't be cranky here, Erin can't die. ”

"Oh......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.

The stone in my heart was laid down.

"Are you worried about me?" Erin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sun Chenghuan with a little playful eyes.

"Nonsense! You're my sister!"

"No! The Erin you just had in mind is what I was like as an adult...... "Erin snorted, "Uncle Reese is right, men are...... I really shouldn't have let you see what I'm like as an adult. ”

"You two won't be ......," Reese said, with a curious look on his face.

"......" Sun Chenghuan patted his forehead, "She is really my sister." ”

"Oh......" Reese replied a little perfunctorily.

"By the way, uncle, the city lord didn't participate in the assassination of Princess Astrana this time, right?"

If he had known about this in advance, he would have sent troops to the rescue. You don't know, after getting the news from you yesterday, he sent the entire city guard almost immediately......"

"So positive?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

"You don't want to think about what Astrana is going to do when she picks up that little girl this time......" Reese laughed.

"Isn't it just to be a puppet?"

"It's a puppet lord!" Reece added, "a lord, and a hereditary lord!"

"What's the matter...... Okay!" Sun Chenghuan was halfway through his words, and he figured it out.

Yes, the prince, or one of the three kings independent from the original three elders of the newly built Astrana country of Penglai Kingdom.

Seriously, this prince is not rightly named.

Self-proclaimed king.

But such people will be welcomed back by Astrana, that is, there are still many people in Astrana who are willing to have such a king to lead them.

A "king" who can make decisions when encountering complex things, and afterwards, if there is any bad outcome, he has to bear it.

It is not a presbyterian church that makes decisions for their own interests and votes for unreliable resolutions such as "feeding the people with war".

People who don't say anything like "war, there are always winners and losers, and if you lose, you lose", and then resign from the Council of Elders, pat your ass and go back to the territory to retire.

The people of Astrana made such a decision after a ****** not seen in a thousand years from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

What would the Merces think?

Is our Council of Elders really much better than the rebel leaders in Astrana?

What can the Mercers do if one day they also start to resent the Presbyterians?

Champion a king who can make decisions and take responsibility?

That...... Who better than the House of Hormut, who were the princes of Merce 2,000 years ago?

A family that has been passed down from generation to generation will not grab too many aristocratic fiefs because of its branches.

The only one of the four royal families who used to have a surname inherited from the current Ace, a real nobleman in the absolute sense.

......

There are just too many benefits.

Therefore, the city lord of Onika will not stop Jarro's return to the country under any circumstances.

Not only will it not be blocked, but it will do its best to support it.

The lord of Onika, a small earl who relied on his ancestors for a thousand years to build up meritorious deeds for Merce, and risked the risk of severing the family's inheritance on the battlefield......

There are such interests that are enough to make people blush, even if you risk losing your head...... Even if there is a danger of being slashed, he will give it a try.

"This Hormut patriarch is the lord of the city of Onika," Reese saw that Sun Chenghuan should have figured out the reason, and laughed, "He is a very gambling person, and in this regard, he is very similar to his ancestors." That's why I made up my mind to help him here. ”

"Help him be king?" said Erin, who was a little curious.

"Help the Hormut clan regain their position as King of Merth. Reece shook his head and corrected, "It's the Holmuts, not him...... Or rather, it's not just him. ”

"What do you mean?" Erin didn't understand.

When it comes to her surname, she is still quite curious.

"Because, here, there is also a person surnamed Holmut!" Sun Chenghuan understood and pointed at Erin.

"Me?" said Erin.

In an instant, she understood......
