Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thornland Brothers
Camos, who was in the room, had his left arm wrapped around his neck in a bandage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info returned to his familiar home, so that he had been on the run for several days, and finally had some sense of security. There are father's private soldiers at home, and those people should not dare to do anything.
He was chased like a prey for four or five days, not only did he fall from a cliff into a waterfall and break his arm, but he even had to compete with wild beasts for food. Thinking of the embarrassment when he first came home, the disappointed look in his father's eyes, it was impossible for Camos's heart to be touched without any touch.
It's just that the unwarranted disaster was not his fault, and the bad luck has followed since the port of Karan, and nothing has gone smoothly along the way.
When he returned home, his eyes turned into silver, and he was the thing that Camos needed to explain the most. But fortunately, Camos had already figured out the reason when he was on the road. A bottle of immature potion made by a wandering mage is the main cause of eye discoloration. The excuse wasn't perfect, but Duke Nick accepted Camos's claim.
"I don't know what happened to Nightingale and Mo Yan. ”
Camos, recuperating in bed, still worried about his lost companion. He still has a place to take refuge, so what about Mo Yan, who came to Maris from a foreign land? There is no place to hide, and there is no familiar person to help him, what if those people don't let him go?
"Brother. ”
When Camos subconsciously ignored Mo Yan's strength and was full of cranky thoughts. A handsome man, with a maid carrying a tray, pushed open the door and walked in. He has eight images with Camos, as long as he stands with Camos, anyone can see their relationship.
"Leon, why are you here. Camos struggled to sit up, his movement was a little impaired by the bandage, and he didn't intend to say anything about the injury to his arm.
Leon, who came to Camos's room with the maid, trotted to the bedside and picked up Camos, with a worried look in his eyes. It is said that there is no real friendship between the brothers of the nobles, and they will inevitably kill each other because of the inheritance in the end, but the brothers of the Thornland family are an exception.
The two who grew up together since childhood have never had a conflict over anything. There have even been many conspirators who have sowed discord between the two sides for various purposes, but they have all ended in failure. Even some schemes that have obviously worked, in the end, they are all inexplicable failures.
"I heard that your arm hurts, so I brought you some medicine. Leon picked up the transparent and pure glass bottle from the tray in the maid's hand and handed it to Camos and said, "I had some things to deal with yesterday, so I didn't come back in time, and I didn't hear about your experience until today...... Who did it?"
Leon's last tone suppressed his anger, and his chest heaved violently. Although he didn't see Camos returning, he heard the servant's description and probably knew what was going on with him.
"It can only be said that there is no unwarranted disaster. Camos, who took the glass bottle, looked at the golden potion in the bottle, and said with a helpless wry smile: "When passing through Nissan Town, it seems that I was involved in some conspiracy, some goods were burned by fire, and the rest of the valuables were robbed. ”
"The ...... of Nissan Town" heard this place name, and Leon lost his mind for a while.
"What do you know?" Seeing his brother's appearance, Camos asked, "Could it be that those nobles in Giza have made any big moves recently? Can you find out who did it? I have some Mithril in their hands, and that's for ...... Well, it was for my friends who were also separated in Nissan. ”
"I only heard this morning that the town of Nissan was burned to rubble by a gang of bandits. Leon, who came back to his senses, explained: "It seems that this matter is not simple, and I will arrange for someone to investigate." What are my brother's friends like? If they survive, I might be able to find them. ”
"He's an exotic, with black hair, and he's not very tall. Camos said: "The name is strangely pronounced, it's called Moya. The other is a leader of thieves, and Nightingale is supposed to be her code name, her real name is never mentioned. However, her organization has a stronghold in the imperial capital, so it should be easier to find. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to investigate, and my brother just needs to pay attention to his cultivation. Leon nodded and agreed, and said, "After drinking the medicine and resting for two days, the broken bones should be able to grow completely, and these trivial matters will be left to me to deal with." With that, Leon went out with the maid.
As for the strength of this younger brother, Camos has nothing to worry about. As long as he is willing to do it, there is nothing he can't do until now. In three years, he tripled the profits of the family's business, had a good relationship with the ministers of the kingdom, and never went wrong in handling things.
It's no wonder that his father would plan to hand over the family to him to manage, and he doesn't seem to be able to handle anything except that his swordsmanship is better than Leon's.
After Leon left, the current patriarch of the Thornland family, Duke Nick, arrived in Camos's room. There was also a priest who accompanied him, and as a prestigious nobleman of the empire, it was not a big deal that there would be a small temple in his home. Being able to enjoy the treatment of divine arts for the first time is something that most nobles will inevitably consider.
"Father. Seeing Duke Nick like a lion, Camos stood up and saluted. This father, who is not good at words, has a stinky temper inherited from his grandfather. Almost every time I saw Camos, it was either a reprimand or a harsh reprimand. However, the opportunities for father and son to meet became less and less common as Camos grew up, and the fierce struggle ended with the end of Camos's rebellion.
What's more, his father still cares about him very much, who arranged Mosa and Flender, Camos knows it.
"Leon just brought you medicine?" Looked at his son in silence for a moment, Duke Nick frowned, glanced at the medicine bottle at the bedside, and opened his mouth and said: "You only need to heal an injury with divine magic, why use a life potion to treat it?
"......" Camos bowed his head to bear his father's reprimand, chatting with a man who would not communicate with his son, and silence was sometimes the best thing to do.
"Do you think you can cover up your failures by not saying anything?" Looking at his son, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, instead of arguing with him like in the past, Nick snorted coldly and said, "Even the last bit of self-esteem has been lost in the business? There is a temple at home, and if there is an injury, can't you even go to see it yourself?"
"Broken bones will grow stronger on their own. Listening to Nick's merciless reprimand, Camos said helplessly.
"Yes, hmph, then you can do it yourself. The pun made Duke Nick say no more, and left directly with the priest in a huff. If you don't want to accept kindness, then endure the pain. Seeing Camos's tepid appearance made Duke Nick even more annoyed. His son should be a lion, not a soft egg.
Seeing the priest leave, Camos secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the healing magic fell on him and caused him harm, then Camos would not be able to explain it even if he had a hundred excuses.
Remembering the corpses he had killed in Nissan and then stood up on their own. Looking in the mirror at his silver-eyed Camos, he didn't know what monster he would become next. The matter needs to be resolved immediately, and the people involved must be trustworthy. Otherwise, let the temple know the actual situation, and only the stake will be waiting for you.
"Maybe the Mage Guild will have a solution. Camos recalled the situation that night, and the circle he saw when he woke up should be the key to his own transformation. But such a complex circle pattern is not something that can be remembered by looking at it once.
Thinking of that companion who had never forgotten him, Camos felt that if it were him, he would remember something like that.
After drinking the life potion sent by Leon, Camos woke up the next morning with a broken arm that was much better, at least the swelling had subsided and was no longer painful. Try to see the wrapped gauze removed, take off the iron piece tied inside, and move the broken left arm. Although there is still some numbness, it no longer affects normal movements.
Because of the injury to his left arm, breakfast was brought to the room by the maid of the family. Rejecting the maid's request for food, Camos finished his hearty breakfast alone, went to the garden behind the mansion, and found a bench to sit down.
Looking at the familiar scenery, he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't think that he could trust anyone in the Mage Guild, but his thoughts were interrupted by Barcelo, the butler who was looking for him.
"Young Master, there is a guest who claims to be from the East who has come to visit, and he said that he is a friend you met on the road. Wearing a butler's uniform, Barcelona looks very capable, he has worked in the Thornland family for more than ten years, he has never made a mistake in etiquette, and he is responsible for most of the things in family life.
At first, Camos, who heard this, weighed it, but then heard that they met on the road, and Camos instantly knew who was coming. Yesterday I was worried about his safety, but today he will be able to come to the door on his own?
You must know that this is not an ordinary place, I don't know how many small nobles want to enter the gate of Sunland, the door has a complete screening system, not really weighty people, even the first door can not enter. But...... Thinking of that Mo Yan's shrewd appearance, he couldn't stop him.
Looking at Camos's happy expression, Sunland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little unsure whether that person was really a friend of the young master.
Not even caring about the injury that was not yet healed, Camos trotted all the way to the reception room. In the middle of the velvet green sofa, a young man in an elegant red and white dress was drinking black tea in a proper manner, laughing with the maid of the mansion. The conspicuous black hair......
"It's really good that you're okay!" said Camos with a smile.
"Oops, you actually got the sound right. Mo Yan put down the black teacup in his hand and said, "I'm also surprised to see that you are still alive." Without me following you, I thought you would die so quietly in that unknown place. ”
"Ahem...... The young master's body has always been healthy. Somewhat dissatisfied with Mo Yan's rudeness, Barcelona coughed and said. I thought it was a well-behaved guest, but I didn't expect that the first time I saw the host, I cursed him to die?
"It's okay, he's always been like this. Camos waved his hand at Barcelona and said absently, "Prepare dinner for my friends...... Well, it's not very delicious, so you can eat it. Not everyone has the craft of yours, and the head chef of the Thornland family has worked hard. ”
