Uptown, Adams House.

This is a palatial study.

Several night-lit lights shone brightly, the fireplace was blazing, and the room was filled with warmth.

Arthur hung his head, his wolf-blooded gown had been replaced by a cozy and warm fur coat, but he still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Because he lost the gambling contract, he owed a million in debt, and it was impossible to hide it from his family.

He faced his desk, and on the chair across from him sat a middle-aged man with no visible expression.

It was the head of the Addams family, and his father, Sims Adams,

At the same time, he is a fifth-order guardian knight and serves as the captain of the sixth squad of the guardian knight sub-group under the Templar Knights.

He was in the prime of life, his loose nightgown couldn't hide his burly and powerful body, and his contemplative eyes fell on Arthur, so oppressed that he didn't even dare to come out.

After a moment of silence, Sims spoke.

"You said you made a bet with your classmate because of Arya, and then you lost a million to him?"

“…… Be. ”

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

“…… I shouldn't have made this bet. ”

"No, you shouldn't have anything to do with Arya."

“…… I'm sorry father, I know it's wrong. ”

"Do you know what to do?"

“…… I'll pay back what I owe and then stop causing trouble. ”

"Well, anything else you'd like to say?"

Arthur hesitated for a moment: "Roy Arnold, he seems to know something. ”

"What do you know?"

Sims's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, "The case of the Christian family was handled by the shepherds, but they still can't find anything, and they won't find anything, do you know why?" ”

“…… I do not know. ”

"Because the truth of the matter doesn't matter, the Christian family is guilty, and that's important."

“…… I seem to get it. ”

Sims looked at Arthur's slightly confused eyes and shook his head slightly.

"Alright, let's go back and rest."

Arthur fled for his life as if he had been pardoned.

After a while, a black cloak pushed the door in.

His face was hidden in the shadow of his hood, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke: "This kid is really troublesome. ”

Sims spread his hands: "When we were younger, we also made these stupid mistakes, didn't we?" ”

Roy Arnold...... Maybe I'll have to do some aftermath? Black Cloak groaned.

"No, don't do anything superfluous, our part is over, and the shepherd will tie his tail well."

"Why aren't you worried at all?"

"Ha, you are, since you have decided to enter the game, you should understand that the fate of the chess pieces is not in your own hands, and strategizing is something that chess players should consider."

Sims stood up, walked to the window, and slowly pushed the glass window open.

The cold wind outside the window squeezed in through the cracks, and the temperature inside the room dropped instantly.

"Winter is coming."

He muttered to himself, exhaling a faint white breath.

……

At noon the next day, Arnold House.

Roy sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a red spiritual power crystal in his hand, and was meditating.

Last night's injuries had already healed, but he still chose to recuperate at home for a while, and at the same time test how much the red spiritual power crystal could bring to his cultivation.

At this time, a torrent of pure spiritual power poured from the crystal into his body, filling his spiritual power ladder.

This is the main use of spiritual power crystals, whenever you run out of spiritual power, you can use spiritual power crystals to quickly replenish spiritual power.

It's like a removable battery.

And each replenishment of spiritual power will expand the upper limit of the body's spiritual power, speeding up the speed of lighting up the spiritual power ladder.

He felt the state of his body and estimated it slightly in his heart.

With his current cultivation speed, perhaps in less than half a month, he will be able to successfully light up the second layer of the inheritance steps.

If he didn't have the red spiritual power crystal, he would need at least half a year, or even longer.

Because he is a dual inheritor, the spiritual power he usually cultivates will be divided equally by the two inheritance steps, and the spiritual power required for upgrading is twice that of ordinary inheritors.

It is also his talent that is far superior to the spiritual adaptability of ordinary inheritors, and the spiritual power he absorbs for the same amount of time is nearly twice that of ordinary inheritors.

In order not to lag behind in the cultivation level.

And the more spiritual power absorbed, the purer it is, and the cultivation speed of inheritors with high spiritual power adaptability will increase exponentially.

After possessing the high-purity red spiritual power crystal, when he no longer needs to worry about spiritual power, Roy's terrifying spiritual power adaptability will be fully utilized, and his cultivation speed will be greatly improved.

"Click-"

There was Arya's knock at the door.

"Young master, there is a guest visiting."

Roy opened his eyes.

Looking for him?

To put it mildly, he didn't think that his social skills were so good that his classmates came to his home to comfort him when he took a day off.

Except for Harvey.

But there is a high probability that Harvey is also skipping class now.

And who else is there?

It can't be Qin Liu's three visits to the thatched house, right?

He came to the main hall with doubts, and was greeted by an unfamiliar face.

He wears a black top hat, a black cane, and a black trench coat with a black waistcoat and a white shirt underneath.

Black bangs curled slightly, and a pair of gray eyes were looking at him with interest.

This is a handsome guy with a British style, who looks young, but gives people a calm and introverted feeling.

"Roy Arnold?"

He took off his top hat and held out his hand to Roy.

"When we first met, my name was Klein Florence."

Florence?

Roy shook his hand quietly, but his eyes were condensed.

One of the eighteen families of the Temple, the representative of the "Moon Shadow" seat: the Florentine family.

In terms of identity, it is an existence with the same status as the Qin family, why does this kind of big man come to him?

Wait, Qin family......

His mind was struck by a bolt of lightning, and he suddenly remembered a legend about the Inheritor's Academy.

Two years ago, the 992 class of the Inheritor Academy had a team, which was hailed as a once-in-a-century miracle in Sidney.

Four direct members of the Templar Family enrolled in the Inheritor Academy in the same year and joined forces to form the team, which has since been invincible and has never tasted defeat to this day.

You know, it's an extremely rare thing.

The Temple Family has the purest Inheritor Bloodline of Sidney, and the stronger the Inheritor's bloodline, the lower the probability of giving birth to an heir.

This has led to the fact that the direct members of the temple family are almost all in the same lineage, like the descendants of the Qin family have a sister and a brother, which is already a great luck.

It is precisely because of the rarity that the Inheritor Academy may not be able to wait for such a proud son of heaven to enter the school for several years.

And even if there happen to be multiple direct descendants of the temple family enrolled in a certain year, there is no guarantee that they will form a team, and it is the majority of the cases that they will work separately.

This involves the intricate interests of the major families.

Therefore, this team, which is composed entirely of direct descendants of the temple family, will cause a sensation in Sidenia at that time, and even Roy, who has no ears to what is going on outside the window, knows a thing or two.

He remembered that the members of this team were-

The representative of the sword cultivation seat, the direct line of the Qin family, that is, Qin Liu.

The representative of the ruling seat, a direct descendant of the Ellan family, Vera Ellan.

A representative of the Guardian Knights, a direct line of the Abraham family, Barton Abraham.

and the representative of the Moon Shadow, a direct line of the Florentine family, Klein Florence.

In other words, he should be Qin Liu's classmate and teammate.

Klein bowed slightly: "Qin Liu asked me to do you a favor, I heard that you took over the orphans of the Christian family?" ”

His gaze crossed Roy to Arya, who was dressed as a maid standing behind him.

"Again, I'm also a shepherd, part of the Night's Watch."

"I'll answer some of your questions because—"

"Christian's case, that's what I'm responsible for."
