Chapter 247: After all, I'm me
Eberhardt had not slept all night, and he sat upright at his desk, his head tilted back in thought, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest.
This action lasted for a long time, after Lin Ye and Sorolla left, until noon the next day, there was a knock at the door.
"Enter."
Priscilla walked in.
She glanced respectfully at Eberhardt's back, then lowered her head to report the information she had just received.
"Parsifal and Solo pulled out of Imonloca, went straight to the gates of the city, went out of the city at midnight, and rode in the direction of the town of Clear Springs, and our men followed them back near the wind."
"Springs Town, where there is an official road to Liyue. They might go to Liyue, they might settle in Springs, as long as their brother wasn't in Mondstadt. ”
Eberhardt opened his eyes and heard the information from Priscilla, and a stone finally fell in his heart.
The presence of the elder brother was "solved".
A nail was pulled out.
Competing for the main position, there are still two nails left.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Eberhardt's eyes, and he got up and glanced at Priscilla, a trustworthy maid who had not betrayed him until the end.
Eberhardt should have trusted Priscilla.
However, the witch's ending was not shot in the back by him, but unexpectedly taken away by her brother.
Do it all over again, and it can't be perfectly replicated, and small subtle changes make butterflies hurricane.
Something went wrong.
Eberhardt didn't intend to dive into it, he had been doing it according to the script he remembered, but the slightest deviation from the tight machinery could lead to different endings, and it was tiring to care too much.
Fortunately, it was the emergence of a new situation that made Eberhardt feel challenging.
"In order to prevent accidents from happening, the plan was advanced." Eberhart spoke.
Priscilla was stunned for a moment, she knew what Eberhardt's plan meant, and the heavy emotions lingered in her heart for a moment, and Priscilla returned to normal, and mumbled.
"No one in my plan will survive." Eberhardt turned around, stared at his cronies, and said slowly, "Priscilla, you, understand?" ”
"My subordinates understand."
"Then will you hate me?"
"I don't understand what the young master is saying."
"I remember you had a brother named Ruther who worked under his uncle."
"My parents divorced when I was young, I followed my mother, he followed my father, and we came to serve in the Emonloka family, and it was just an accident that we met." Priscilla looked cold, even though her brother Ruthor felt guilty and wanted to make amends for her.
"I have always been grateful to you for saving me from the drunkard, and forgiving me many sins I have committed." Priscilla whispered.
When Eberhardt heard this, he thought for a moment, took a few steps forward, came to Priscilla, stretched out his hand, lifted the young maid's chin, and looked at the other person's appearance.
Priscilla was surprised, her turquoise eyes stared at the young master who was extremely close to her, especially the young master's scrutinizing gaze made Priscilla feel strange, and she couldn't maintain the image of treating anyone coldly, her eyes subconsciously glanced to the side, and Priscilla said embarrassedly.
"Young Master......"
Sister Gao Leng became shy, and she had a different kind of charm.
Priscilla's performance was reflected in Eberhart's eyes, and for a moment, even if he thought he was ruthless, he was obsessed.
Originally, Eberhardt would not have made such a gesture of intimacy.
He found a reason, like encircling a gladiator and picking flowers for the other party, this time, to give a little ambiguous association to the maid who knew that he loved him, and to prevent her from betraying at a critical moment, after all, Eberhardt was going to kill Priscilla's only living relative.
Since it is a calculation.
It's time to let go.
But Eberhardt had been staring at Priscilla for a long time, and he didn't even notice it, until there was a knock at the door, which woke the two men inside.
Eberhardt hurriedly let go, and Priscilla lowered her head, as if in order to straighten the hem of her skirt without the slightest wrinkle.
"Enter."
A handmaid with freckled spots came in, first at the chief maid with her head bowed, then at Eberhardt, and said cautiously.
"Second young master, lunch is ready, the head of the house called you over."
"Hmm."
This was supposed to be Priscilla's job, but she was pestered by Eberhardt and did not receive a report from her maids.
Eberhardt waved his hand to signal the freckled maid to leave first, and he calmed his turbulent heart and walked out of the room first.
Priscilla waited until Eberhardt left, touched her cheek, it was hot, she couldn't help but purse her lips, her eyes flashed with a complicated light, and finally, with a sigh, her expression regained her composure, and she closed the door and followed Eberhardt.
Walking briskly down the corridor, Eberhardt turned his head to glance at the atrium after the rain had fallen, fresh and natural, everything was clean, and even a rainbow was about to fade.
Eberhardt had no intention of looking at the scenery, and his mind was a little confused.
The more ambitious the guy is, the more indifferent he is to the people around him, he only knows how to cherish it after he loses it.
A thousand years after Old Mondstadt, so many people, only he and Protaite survived, and the trusted maids also left him.
Eberhart spends time with the bad old man Protette, occasionally thinking of Priscilla. For a thousand years, Eberhardt remembered some things that impressed him, but the characters were almost forgotten, even his brother and father, but he remembered Priscilla's appearance for a long time, and even feared to wear out this memory.
Little master, there is more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the back is more exciting!
The picture of his brother taking Sorolla away last night gave Eberhart a certain impact, and he was a little envious.
Priscilla was not an illegitimate child, but her experience was similar to that of young Eberhart, a single-parent family, and she endured ridicule and bullying that resonated with Eberhart.
However, if the Time Demon God were to give Eberhardt another chance to choose between plotting Mondstadt and taking Priscilla with him, Eberhardt would choose the former.
It's like he knows that the current Priscilla is a false memory, and he doesn't take time to spend with him, but still plans his great cause.
The luncheon at Emonloca was sparsely attended, and the head of the family, Landrich, sat at the head, flanked by his second son, Eberhardt, and his brother Ingobert, and then by relatives who were not directly related by blood, and the maids stood aside.
Some of these relatives, some of whom saw Eberhardt, had an unnatural expression, but fortunately their presence was low, but no one cared.
They were the people who coerced and seduced Eberhardt in private, and they thought that Eberhardt wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, but they did not think that Eberhardt would come later.
Eberhardt apologized to Landrich for being late, who waved his hand indifferently.
Lately, Landrich has been more satisfied with Eberhardt, especially with Buck, the eldest young master of the Lawrence family.
During lunch, Eberhart chatted about adventure in advance, using the ruins of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain to seduce the adventurous Ingobert.
Ingbert has no interest in power, wealth, or women, but loves adventure, and likes to delve into ancient ruins, and he has explored the whole of Mondstadt, the famous ruins, and he is very interested in the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain proposed by his nephew, and he has long planned to take a look.
Landrich doesn't like to take risks, more precisely doesn't like to go out, isn't it good to enjoy it at home, why go out and suffer.
But the badminton festival is approaching, and if they can find some ancient ruins from the Longji Snow Mountain, it will be a very face-saving thing, showing that the people of the wind god are good at taking risks and are not afraid of challenges.
The more Ingbert and Eberhardt talked, the more they fell in love, and for the first time he discovered that his cold nephew was a like-minded person, who met not too late but hated to be too late.
So, with Landrich's tacit permission, Eberhardt and Ingobert initially set up a team and soon headed for the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.
According to the itinerary, I was able to rush back before the badminton festival arrived.
After lunch, Eberhardt was invited to talk with Ingobert until late at night, and in his room, Eberhardt instructed Priscilla.
"During the days I left Mondstadt, I was especially concerned about whether my brother had returned to Mondstadt, and also on the family's eagle dogs, who would have been suspicious of me after Ingolbert's death, and what I had to do was not to let the news come back, and you, to prevent the eagle dogs from getting the news."
"Yes."
…………
After saying goodbye to Miss Witch, Lin Ye rested in the forest for a while, and when he was hungry, he grabbed some food from his system backpack and rode back to Mondstadt.
Before it gets dark, Lin Ye infiltrates the city as a Liyue Traveler.
Parsifal's rental house is no going back.
After Lin Ye was able to open the system backpack, he was not bad for Mora, and found a better hotel to live in.
He had just been out of the city for a day or two, and Eberhardt must have strengthened surveillance in the city, and the "Hidden Alley Thief" could not be used for the time being, and Lin Ye planned to go to Susan and the little boy first.
It's not easy to find someone when it's dark.
Lin Ye waited until dawn the next day and left the hotel.
I was in a bit of a hurry to leave at the beginning, and Lin Ye didn't discuss how to meet after that.
So Lin Ye looked for a clinic near Susan and the little boy, and asked if he had met a young girl and a little boy last night.
After looking for a third home, Lin Ye found the right place.
After listening to Lin Ye's description, the doctor cautiously asked what Lin Ye was looking for them.
Lin Ye saw the doctor's suspicions, and Wen Sheng said that he had no intention of harming them, and that he was their friend.
Friend?
The doctor looked at Lin Ye's imposing appearance, he was still a Liyue man, and he didn't look like he was friends with Susan and the little boy.
Lin Ye asked the doctor if Susan had mentioned him.
The doctor thought for a moment and asked.
"What's your name?"
"Lin Ye."
“…… When was the last time you saw them? ”
"The night before, it was raining heavily, and I saved them. I was in a hurry, and I came to them when I was done. ”
The doctor didn't ask anymore, he muttered for a while, and said that the person Lin Ye was looking for, he knew that at noon today, the young girl would come here to get the medicine, and you would come back at noon.
Lin Ye hurriedly agreed.
Actually, Susan came shortly after the forest left.
The doctor told Susan about it.
"His name is really Lin Ye?"
"Well, that's what he said."
"Why, do you want to see him?"
“…… Can I hide and see if I'm a savior for Jonif and me? ”
"It's fine."
Lin Ye came to visit again at noon, and he keenly noticed that someone was secretly observing him.
Could it be exposed?
It's not right, there is no killing intent.
Lin Ye and the doctor talked calmly.
Susan was entangled, it was raining heavily that day, it was dark, and she couldn't see the person who saved him clearly, and the sound was not very similar, but her demeanor gave her a sense of familiarity.
Finally, as soon as Susan gritted her teeth, she decided to take a gamble and walked out.
After Lin Ye caught a glimpse, he said helplessly.
"Susan, you're finally out."
Little master, there is more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the back is more exciting!
"I'm sorry, I have to be cautious." Susan whispered.
"How's that little boy, is his fever gone?"
When Susan heard this, she was convinced that Lin Ye was the one who saved her.
"Well, after taking the medicine, I'm better, but I'm malnourished, and I need to take some more."
"Is Mora enough?"
"Enough."
"Where do you live now?"
"In a small alley in the middle of nowhere."
"Can you show me there?"
"Yes, you saved the lives of me and Joniff." Susan said.
Before Lin Ye and Susan left, Lin Ye begged the doctor not to reveal the information about him and Susan, and no matter who asked about it, they couldn't say that Susan was being hunted down by the enemy.
The doctor saw that Susan and Jonif were poor people, and he agreed to come down and kept his mouth shut.
Today Susan has changed her outfit, wears a hat on her head, and walks with her head down to prevent being recognized.
Lin Ye is calm, after all, it is not useful to bow his head, it is better to observe the surroundings, if someone is following, he can also notice it at the first time.
It was only when she was almost in the alley where Susan and the little boy were staying that Susan whispered.
"Thank you so much, sir."
"I'm entrusted with me, Susan. Do you know the thieves in the dark alley? I remember the first time you mistook it. ”
"Do you know the Thief of the Dark Alley?"
"Well, I'm his friend."
“…… That, is the thief in the dark alley injured, he hasn't appeared again for a while. Susan said cautiously, showing concern.
"He's gone to Mondstadt."
"Huh?"
Susan stopped, stunned.
After a while, she muttered to herself.
"Leaving the good, leaving the good ......"
Some people, even if they fall into despair, will not curse others to fall into the abyss with them from the bottom of their hearts.
If it weren't for living in this dark age, the kind-hearted Susan would have been a gentle, cheerful ordinary girl in New Mondstadt.
Susan was sincerely happy about the departure of the thieves in the alleys, she thought that the country was rotten, and that the thieves in the alleys would only make his light fade until they were extinguished.
In fact, Susan was also curious about whether the witch who was rumored to be the partner of the thief in the dark alley left with the thief in the dark alley.
But the question seemed a bit gossipy, and Susan was too embarrassed to ask.
Lin Ye came to the place where Susan and the little boy were temporarily staying.
Not a hotel.
Because Susan herself was still being hunted down, Susan was afraid that she would be reported for staying in a hotel, so it was just a dilapidated and collapsed house in an alley, and the little boy was lying on a barely intact bed, covered with a dirty quilt, and slept deeply.
Lin Ye turned his head to look at Susan behind him.
Susan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and pretended not to care.
"It's secluded and safe."
"Susan, let me do you a favor before the thieves leave."
"Is it to save me and Joniff?" Susan subconsciously raised her head and asked.
"Nope." Lin Ye smiled.
In Susan's eyes, the young man's smile carried a hint of cunning that she couldn't understand, but it was extraordinarily bright, making her unconsciously feel comfortable and safe.
"He's asking me to kill that nobleman, well, it's the Mediterranean."
After all, I'm me.
