Darkness is no longer fear and the unknown, but a protective color.

The sound of iron hooves echoed in the woods, and everywhere he passed, the insects chirped and screamed, but the sound of the wind whirring in his ears stimulated Hardy's adrenaline, making his heart beat faster and feeling extremely stimulated.

Abilities need to be exercised to become stronger, what is the main ability of Nightmare Knight?

Riding, maneuvering and using magic.

And summoning nightmares, transforming into dark heavy armor, requires the use of magic.

Riding a nightmare is a practice of riding.

So Hardy is not simply riding a horse in search of excitement, but is actually training himself.

He didn't want to be like the original, with an empty talent and an empty start, but he lived as a waste.

Nightmares live in the Demon Realm and are good at absorbing dark magical elements, and at night, they will perform better...... But it only lasted more than ten minutes longer than during the day.

After about half an hour, Hardy unmounted, and the Nightmare returned to the Demon Realm.

He clung to the trunk of a tree on the side of the road, gasping for air.

Without the 'gathering' of nightmares, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the stars and moon reappeared.

The scattered points of light brightened ahead, the waves that sparked with the night wind, and the moon reflected in the lake.

In front of Hardy, a woman stood barefoot in the shallow water, holding the hem of her black skirt, looking at him with a smile.

"Looks like you've come out of your grief, kid."

The brown twist braids and the turquoise eyes are full of tenderness.

Hardy straightened up and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in some days, Aunt Sophie." ”

"Call my sister."

"Auntie."

Sophie gave Hardy an angry look, and she slowly walked up from the shallow water, her milky white feet unusually conspicuous in the night.

She found a bluestone and sat down elegantly, looked at Hardy again, and asked, "It's not good to scare people by running around so late and running around." ”

Hardy knew that she had seen the way she summoned the Nightmare Rider to run around just now.

"I don't think it scared Aunt Sophie."

Sophie shook her head and said quite funny: "How can I say that I am also the wife of a former brave, and my self-protection ability is still good." ”

Sophie Lind, Ryan's mother, wife of the former Brave.

I heard that I once fought and adventured with former warriors, and I have a strong strength.

Of course, you can't see it from the appearance alone, Sophie is very beautiful, tall and plump, but her temperament is weak, her body has no large muscles, and there are no fluctuations in her magical power.

Hardy reckons that her profession is related to the Assassins.

"It's so late, what is Aunt Sophie doing here?"

"My mind was so messy that I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk." Sophie sighed, and then emphatically said, "You either call me sister, or call me by my name, and add a 'auntie' because you think I'm old?" ”

Her skin was as white as snow, without a trace of wrinkles, and her face was as smooth as a peeled egg, and no matter how you looked at it, Sophie was only in her early twenties.

But she was indeed Ryan's biological mother.

The real age is at least thirty-two years old.

But she still looks so young, Hardy estimates that she should have the blood of the longevity race in her body, but she can't see it from the outside.

Hardy was beside him, found a bluestone and sat down, and asked, "It's because of Lane's business, can't you sleep?" ”

"Of course, he will go to the training in two days, how can he rest assured as a mother."

"Forbid him to go out, don't you."

Sophie played with her long side braids with her left hand, and sighed faintly: "No one can control and suppress the nature of the bloodline of the brave. ”

This is the reason why Ryan has to go out to train at the age of fifteen, and the bloodline of the brave is instinctive.

Hardy and Sophie have a lot of contact, since he has 'memories', he and Ryan and Karina have been glued together every day, often going to Ryan's house to play, so naturally they often meet Sophie.

In his 'impression', Sophie is cold, not to say high-minded, and rarely speaks, and even her expression rarely changes.

She doesn't seem to be happy every day.

It seems normal to think about it carefully, her husband is gone at a young age, and she has worked hard to raise her son, and her son will have to follow her husband's old path again in the future, how sad it is.

"It's time for me to go back." Sophie got up, put on her shoes, and said with a smile, "Ryan will be worried if you've been out for too long, thank you for chatting with me, Hardy." ”

Then she slowly left.

Hardy looked at Sophie's slender back and sighed in admiration.

I have to say that the former brave has a good aesthetic eye, not to mention Sophie's tall figure, she is still the kind of 'slightly fat' that men like the most, and her whole body exudes a charming style.

Very much in line with Hardy's aesthetic.

It's a pity that the age of his body is still too young, just over fifteen years old, and it is estimated that the other party does not look down on a little child like himself.

Hardy shook his head helplessly, and walked home.

In the manor, the red-haired maid Lillian was still waiting at the door, and when she saw her master returning, she bent down to greet her, her eyes glittering.

Hardy knows that this kind of light in a woman's eyes is called 'worship'.

Such a look has never been obtained or experienced by the original body.

But now Hardy can do it easily, because he is already a professional.

From then on, he was an extraordinary person, no longer an ordinary person.

The vast majority of women in the world are Mu Qiang, not to mention that Hadi is still her master.

Back in the castle, under the service of the maids, bathed and dressed, and then slept beautifully.

The next morning, she was woken up by Lillian, and after breakfast, she rode with Jack in a carriage, took her gifts, and headed to the center of town.

The carriage rattled and swayed slightly.

Jack, the butler, turned around as he drove the carriage and asked, "Little master, if we give up the blacksmith shop, we won't have much money left of our estate." Do you want to fire some of the tenants and replace them with some gray-skinned orcs? ”

"Are the Greyskins cheap now, and are they efficient at arriving?"

"I've heard people say it's very easy to use, it's cheap, and it's not enough to eat. Growing melons and kapok is even better, both of which are worth more than grain. There was a faint excitement in Jack's voice: "When they are drafted, they are also excellent soldiers. ”

"There are a lot of gray-skinned orc slaves in the country now?"

"I heard that some time ago, there were slave traders from the country of Aikaga, and a large number of them came by sea, concentrated in the royal city, which is very cheap and affordable."

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Forget it." If those tenants are replaced, it is strange that they will not starve to death where they will beg for food in the future. ”

The family now has a lot of fertile land, which is cultivated by long-term tenants.

"You're such a good passer." Jack flattered Hardy sincerely, and then said, "Master, you have arrived at the gate of the castle of the Lord of Virginia, and then you have to go in by yourself." ”

Ordinary people were not allowed to enter the dwellings of the nobility without being summoned.

Hardy grabbed the beautiful wooden box and jumped out of the carriage.

In front of him was a castle many times larger than Hardy's house, and several soldiers in full armor were guarding the entrance.

"I'm Hadi, and I'm here to meet the lord."

The soldier examined him for a moment, and then the door of the castle slowly opened, as if the mouth of the beast had opened.
