Chapter Ninety-Four: The Hidden Will
Facing the voodoo statue, Lei Luo finally realized that he had returned to the planet of Yufei this time, and it was definitely not luck that was at work.
It is no coincidence that it penetrates into the body of little Imbas.
Everything is connected to this mysterious statue, which had just been shipped to the country a few days before the sudden death of little Imbas playing cards.
The Inbass family's steamship fleet had just returned from the Western Continent, selling out red wine and spices, and bringing back a large amount of precision machinery and non-ferrous metals. In terms of heavy industry, the countries of the Western Continent, represented by the Silver Wing Empire, have always been the leaders. In the aftermath of the Bloodline invasion, society was in turmoil, and many of the industrial techniques that had never been passed on to the outside world became insignificant. Natalie was extremely keen to sniff out business opportunities, open the passageway, and build a very targeted temporary bridge between the two shores.
The return day is always bustling, with the port of Marseille outside Lille bustling with cargo crews and the families of seafarers who have come to pick them up. Little Imbas also appeared on the scene in high spirits, as angry as a little rooster. He wasn't interested in the family business, but on a whim, he came to see what strange things the fleet had brought back from another continent. Many crew members knew the preferences of the young owner, and the second mate of the "Flyer", Blackjack, once even secretly brought back a mute female slave, which made little Imbus happy for a long time.
Blackjack is a native of Dongzhou, and there is also a part of the Alpine clan bloodline. It is said that a long time ago, when the Shadow Moon Continent had not yet sunk, the ancestors of the Gaoshan clan migrated from there to Dongzhou. It's just that now that the people are withering, the momentum is not as good as before.
Those who know Black Jack well know that he is an old fritter, talking about people and talking about ghosts. When little Impas broke directly into the bilge, he happened to see Blackjack with a few sailors, sneakily carrying a one-man tall cargo wooden crate, and immediately rushed forward with a cheer, thinking that it was another gift of filial piety to himself. Blackjack's face changed drastically, and he no longer had the slightest of his usual oily energy. When little Imbas saw that he would not open the box, he was angry and threatened to tell his sister Natalie, so that he could see the voodoo statue in the box.
Born deficient in male hormones, little Imbas has always believed that anything that is old and mysterious enough can invisibly affect him, bringing another level of strength and charm to himself - just like the Bloodline. So he dropped a few gold coupons, ignoring Black Jack's reaction, and asked the sailor to transport the statue to the Black Rose Manor, and after putting it in the bedroom, he immediately couldn't wait to drive everyone away, and knelt in front of the statue with a "poof".
"Evil god, please make Rorodo care about me!" said little Imbas, believing that such a lifelike statue was nothing extraordinary, so he prayed with great reverence.
Little Imbus's bedroom is filled with similar collections: bizarre stones, tattered beast skulls, old floor-to-ceiling pendulum clocks, eerie dolls staring at the joints of their eyes, and even a jar of dried that is said to have been pulled out by a vampire bat on a full moon night...... Little Imbas had prayed the same prayer to all of them, but only this time did the voodoo statue really answer him.
When the statue's eyes glowed with gold, and when it slowly reached out its claws, little Imbas urinated on the spot and fainted with fright. When he woke up, he completely lost this memory. I was stunned and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think that I would sleep on the ground for anything, shrugged my shoulders, and slammed the door to fool around.
Now, under the erosion of Lei Luo's powerful origin, this memory, which was sealed by some unknown force, has reappeared like a reef under the water's surface.
[Divine Wheel Transformation Skill] can be called the natural enemy of all living things, and it is the most sensitive to the breath of life. But even if Lei Luo put his palm on the body of the voodoo statue and used the [Lunar Eclipse] to sense it carefully, he didn't find the slightest vitality.
This is simply a corpse puppet that is about to fall apart, and I don't know how many years it has existed. No matter how clever a wizard comes, it is absolutely impossible to make it move, let alone pretend to be a ghost.
"Is there anyone who possesses it like I possessed a corpse? No, its body is too tattered to carry any kind of penetration. Lei Luo thought of the last possibility, and quickly denied it.
"Young Master Lei, the bath water is ready. The housekeeper walked out of the bathroom and, like Natalie, chose to address him by little Imbass's middle name.
Lei Luo was about to thank him, but thinking of the normal reaction that little Imbas should have, he snorted coldly through his nostrils instead, and began to undress in front of the housekeeper.
"Dinner is still scheduled for eighteen o'clock, and the chef you don't like has been replaced. The housekeeper had long been surprised, bowed her head and exited the bedroom, and gently closed the door.
The bathroom has been lit with night sandalwood, white towels are on the rack, brass pipes are shiny as new, and a round bathtub full of soap bubbles can accommodate at least ten people at the same time. There was a large mirror on the wall covered with broken tiles, and little Imbus often felt sorry for it, and Lei Luo stripped naked and glanced at the man in his glasses, but he still couldn't help but want to vomit.
Ripping off the necklace, Lei Luo picked up the razor on the sink and shaved himself into a bald head. Thinking about it, it was not enjoyable, and the two "willow eyebrows" that made him tremble were also shaved. Only then did he exhale a long breath, stepped into the bathtub, and soaked comfortably.
When it was time to eat, Lei Luo, who was dressed in pajamas and pajamas, touched his bald head and walked out of the room.
The handrail staircase spirals down from the second floor, and the solid cherry wood creaks as you step down, making the mansion even more deep and silent. The walls along the road are covered with portraits of the ancestors of the Imbas family, each one a person tall. Like little Imbus, they have crimson eyes. This kind of pupil color, which is meaningless except for its rarity, has become the capital that little Imbus often brags about. Because the eyes of the blood clan were red, he felt that he was very much like this higher race, and maybe one day he would awaken like the Scarlet Clan, proving that there were people among the ancestors who were fortunate enough to receive the great first embrace.
Under the watchful eye of generations of Inbass, Lei Luo walked to the ground floor and entered a restaurant almost the size of a basketball court. In the candlelight, Natalie was seen sitting at the end of the dining table in a long dress, waiting for herself.
"Ray, what's wrong with you?" Natalie was slightly taken aback when she saw Raylo's egg-like head.
"There were jumping worms that got into the hair, and they couldn't get rid of it, so that's how it was solved. Relo sat down at the long table and tucked his napkin into his collar.
"What about the eyebrows?" Natalie looked into his equally bare eyes.
"I'm afraid the jumping worms will move to the side of the eyebrows, so I'll just shave them all, hahaha!" replied Relo, with the usual idiotic energy of little Inbas.
Natalie shook her head with a smile, and sure enough, she didn't say anything more, and turned to tell the servant to serve the food.
The main course was not as many as Lei Luo imagined, to the point of extravagance and waste. Braised beef in Burgundy red wine, Marseille fish soup, lamb shank at seven o'clock, caviar with boreus mushrooms, and a thick soup of tomato and broccoli, the siblings' dinner was simple and hearty.
The first dish of the Black Rose Estate is the first dish of the Black Rose Estate, and the beef is boiled in red wine with garlic, onions, carrots, mushrooms, bacon and spices. When many local gentry come to visit, they often specify a tasting.
The essence of this dish lies in the spices of cinnamon and rosemary, combined with the unique Burgundy red wine, combined with the delicious taste of beef. Natalie ate a small half of the beef, and couldn't help but sigh softly when she thought that the Burgundy winery, which her parents regarded as a treasure, had been sold by Innbass Jr., and it was so difficult to get it back.
"Rollo, Rollo, what means did you use to make my brother so fascinated? The Burgundy winery is one of the best in the whole south, and the normal price is at least five million gold coupons, but my brother only received fifty gold coupons, and handed over the title deed of the winery to your family. Are you thanking my brother now, or are you laughing at him for being stupid?" Natalie thought.
"Sister. ”
Little Inbas will only call Natalie in two ways, usually "stinky eight women", and will only change her name to "old sister" when she asks for money or gets into trouble. Relo chose the second option and smiled at Natalie.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it, don't go out these days!" Natalie thought he was trying to get some kind of idea, and hurriedly warned.
"Who said I'm going to be out of the woods, how comfortable it is to be at home!" Relo creaked as he sawed his knife and fork on the plate, and the butler standing behind Natalie had a sudden jump in the corner of her eye, eager to change him with a large wooden bowl.
"Ken is honestly the best at home, what did you just call me to say?" asked Natalie.
"You know, the old man is a very cautious man, suspicious all day long, and sometimes even a little sick. Lei Luo stuffed a large piece of lamb leg meat in his mouth that was enough to kill ordinary people, and when he mentioned his deceased father, he showed no respect, "In fact, he had already written his will, and I hid it behind the big wall clock in the study." Don't scold me yet, it's really upset! I thought everything in this house was mine, but the old man gave you about a third of the property. Well, this beef and wine winery is also yours...... Damn! Sweet or salty, it's so unpalatable!"
Of course, the will was hidden by Xiao Inbas, but he had the courage to hide it and didn't destroy it, so today's Lei Luo has the opportunity to send favors.
Without waiting for the shocked Natalie to command, the housekeeper walked away quickly. Moments later, he returned to the dining room with a rolled-up document bag in his hand.
Natalie took out the wills and read them one by one, and when she saw the most familiar signatures and stamps, her eyes quietly turned red.
"Since the young master does not have the right to inherit the Burgundy winery, the title deed he sold is equivalent to a piece of waste paper. I'm going to go to the prosecutor's house!" the housekeeper whispered, seeing Natalie nodding her head, and immediately went out.
"After all these years, why are you suddenly willing to tell me this?" Natalie gathered her thoughts, and her big beautiful eyes showed a thick look of doubt.
It wasn't like her familiar brother.
"Be grateful, then kneel down and praise me!, or do a lap dance to make me happy!" Raylo's next sentence was a prodigal reluctance that made Natalie almost crush her silver teeth.
"I'm your sister, not those indiscriminate women outside, you have to respect me!"
"Anyway, it's not biological, your legs are so good, it's a pity not to show them...... Oops!" Lei Luo said wildly, almost getting hit by a piece of syrupy beef, and quickly escaped from the restaurant.
Natalie sat in her seat, wiping her hands with a napkin while yelling at "Stinky Imp". After a while, I thought of my younger brother running away with a big bald head, but I couldn't help but sneer, and my demeanor was like a beautiful flower blooming in an instant.
"It's not in vain that I have hurt him from childhood to adulthood, and there is still medicine to save him, and he knows how to help his family. Natalie thought to herself, then quietly glanced at her legs, snorted, and made a slightly embarrassed decision.
I won't be wearing a skirt next time.
