Chapter 232: Being a man has a beginning and an end
That is, it is up to the owner of the manor to open a passage from the inside.
There is currently one person with this permission, and it is naturally Gavin.
If Gavin wanted to, he could also give this authority to someone else, and Esteller was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Although he knew that Estelle would definitely not sell himself easily for the sake of himself and his daughter's safety, let alone sell the manor.
But Gavin thinks that this kind of thing, wait and see.
Anyway, if you need to go in and out of the manor now, there are only a few people, and you can still handle it.
As soon as the ticket was collected, Gavin opened the door to the Vizeme Manorβa notch higher after the fused mist enchantment.
At least in the traces, it is not so obvious, and opening the gate is equivalent to opening the gate of the enchantment, which can be allowed to enter and exit.
As soon as the door opened, there were several concerned faces, not only Anna, but the other four people were already waiting outside the gate.
And not only because Gavin had been in there long enough, it had been a whole day.
Also because they were outside, they clearly felt the drastic changes in the Vizeme Manor.
Just as night was falling, the fog that had shrouded the Vizeme estate had dissipated.
It's just that when they look at the Vizeme Manor, it doesn't feel clearer, but more blurry, hazy, not like it's in front of them, it's more like it's in another space far away.
Although the fog dissipated, the barrier was not affected in the slightest, and they couldn't even touch the edge of the Vizeme Manor, and the only thing they could do was wait anxiously outside.
"Mr. Gavin, are you alright?" This is a concerned inquiry from Anna.
"Success?" This is an inquiry from Regina and the three paladins.
The former is more concerned about Gavin's safety, and the latter four are more concerned about the situation at the Vizeme estate.
"Success, who do you see here?" Gavin nodded as he answered them with action.
Turned sideways slightly, revealing the mother and daughter behind her.
"Mrs. Esteller? Miss Amanda? Aren't they dead, transformed into vengeful ghosts? Regina crumbled in surprise.
The three paladins couldn't help but hold down the war hammer on their sides, although they had now become entities, they still exuded a strong cold negative energy on their bodies.
Gavin took another half step back, protected the two of them behind him and explained: "Their current situation is a bit special, when the realm of immortal revenge collapsed, they were resurrected by powerful forces, but they have been in the dark all year round, and their souls have been eroded by negative energy very much, so there is still a ghostly aura, but I promise that their consciousness is awake and will not do evil again." β
Gavin's intent to protect them is obvious, and if you want to attack them, you must first get past him.
This move made Esteller, who was standing behind her, inject a warm current into her cold heart, which had long stopped beating for a long time, and came alive again.
Although I don't know that the other party is sincere, he still has ulterior motives.
At least the other side is making good on their promises.
Esteller took two steps forward, stood on Gavin's side, and made a standard Sambian aristocratic salute to the three paladins, and said softly: "Mr. Darnell, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the last time we met was at the Brewing Festival." β
It seems that what Darnell said earlier was that he was familiar with Sir Colonfell, and he was not a lie.
In doing so, Esteller undoubtedly showed with his actions that he was not a vengeful ghost dominated by hatred and negative energy.
This softened the expressions of the three paladins a lot, at least their hands were removed from the handle of the hammer.
Darnell said with an unconcealed apology on his face: "I'm sorry, madam, as early as the last brewing festival, I should have extended a helping hand to you, to Miss Amanda, in that case, there would be no tragedy later, after hearing about what happened here, I came to try to correct it, but I still failed, I failed Madame, and failed the sacred duty of the paladin." β
"Mr. Darnell, it's not your fault, at that time, after all, it was just our housework, and the follow-up development was not something anyone could have predicted, not to mention, you tried, it was enough." Maybe it was the baptism of endless hatred, or maybe the suffering of infinite reincarnation, which made her have an epiphany, and Esteller saw many things very openly and lightly, at least she didn't resent what happened to others.
It's just that the more she is like this, the more Darnell blames herself and feels guilty, and takes the initiative to suggest: "The situation of Vizeme Manor at that time has been judged to be a lost place, so when this place is recovered, everything will belong to the person who recovered it, if Madame and Miss have nowhere to go, it is better to return to the Hammer of Justice Monastery with me, and the negative energy in your soul and body should also be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a burden to the body and soul after all, and it will leave a bane for the future." β
Darnell: It's pure kindness.
For ordinary people, it is a very dangerous thing to infuse a large amount of negative energy into the body.
In fact, not only negative energy, but also a large infusion of positive energy, is also not a good thing.
This condition is collectively known as energy imbalance, which can lead to illness and death, which is what Chinese medicine calls yin and yang imbalance.
It's just that compared to positive energy, negative energy is more harmful, and if it is accompanied by an emotional outburst that gets out of control, it is a sure thing to transform into an undead creature after death.
Of course, it is another story for professionals, especially those who have opened up their professional expertise and have been particularly strengthened in a certain aspect.
In the body of the holy warrior, it is obvious that positive energy occupies an absolute advantage.
What Darnell didn't know was that Estelle didn't belong to the normal category, they couldn't leave the Vizeme Manor at all, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Mr. Darnell for your kindness, but Mr. Gavin has saved our lives, and we can't repay it, so we decided to stay in the manor and serve him as a maid, and Mr. has agreed to this." β
"The Vizeme Manor is in ruins, Madame Estelle is the one who knows this place best, if she can stay here to assist me, it will indeed save me a lot of things, as for the negative energy in her body, Anna will help them slowly clear it, if it really can't be solved, it will not be too late for me to personally send them to the Hammer of Justice Monastery, anyway, the distance between the two places is not very far." Gavin hurriedly covered for Esteller.
It is undeniable that most paladins are good people, and Darnell is the best of the good people.
But dealing with such good people is often the most tiring.
Because in their eyes, there is no room for half a grain of sand, and some things will be cut across the board.
Darnell didn't judge Esteller for the people he killed when they were vengeful ghosts, which was already relatively lively.
This kind of thing must be what you want me to do, and there is no way to force it, Darnell said helplessly: "Since you have already negotiated, I have no right to interfere, madam, you just need to remember that the door of the Hammer of Justice Monastery will always be open for you." β
"Thank you again, Mr. Darnell." Esteller said sincerely, although this warmth and care came a little later, but at least it was sincere, she could feel it.
"Don't stand, you don't want to spend the night outside, do you? Although the manor is a little dilapidated, at least it can shelter from the wind and rain. Gavin offered to invite Darnell and them into the Vizeme estate.
"It's okay, the matter here is over, let's stop for the night and leave tomorrow." Darnell agreed without hesitation.
Even if Gavin is not invited, he will take the initiative to ask to stay at the Vizeme Manor for one night, rest is secondary, and the main thing is to determine for himself whether everything here is over.
Being a man has a beginning and an end is his life creed.
Under Gavin's leadership, everyone went directly to the living room on the third floor.
The fireplace at the Vizeme Manor, which had been extinguished for more than two years, was blazing again.
Although it is early summer, the nights are not cold.
But the Vizeme estate is located in the land of three rivers, and is embraced by the Ashaba River, except for the east wind, the wind from other directions is wet, plus a light rain from time to time.
After living outside the Vizeme estate for a few days, I felt that my body was damp for a few days, especially when I got up every morning, I felt that my whole body was soaked and icy.
It's a loss that they are all professionals, and their physical fitness is strong, otherwise they have to catch a cold.
If there is a fireplace, the whole room is baked dry and hot, and no one will refuse.
Even Esteller and Amanda seem to enjoy the warmth of the fireplace, even though they don't need it.
With the fire, Gai Wen can put pots and barbecues on top of it, and throw all kinds of ingredients into it.
This time out to expand the territory, Gavin and Anna alone equipped a Howard convenience bag.
His Howard convenience bag was stuffed with all kinds of weapons and equipment.
Anna's was mostly empty, stuffed with a variety of ingredients, especially spices, salt, and unique condiments from the elven wilderness.
Anyway, no matter where he goes, Gavin will definitely not lose his mouth, which is one of the great pleasures of life in itself.
Gavin handed a skewer of roast meat sprinkled with condiments to Amanda, who looked at him like a puppy from beginning to end, and at the same time showed Esteller an inquiring look, the meaning was obvious, can you eat food?
After all, it was the Earth Bound Spirit transformation, and Gavin was still a little untouchable, their physical condition.
Esteller understood, nodded without a trace, although there is a supply of negative energy, they don't need to eat, but eating, it won't have any effect, after all, after they transform, they are no different from living people in all aspects.
Amanda's big eyes were obviously full of longing, and she wanted to reach out to take it, but in the next second, she seemed to recall bad memories, and her little hand quickly retracted.
A hint of distress flashed in Estelle's eyes, of course she knew why, Colonfell just handed over a skewer of roast meat, but it was not for Amanda, but for his pet dog.
Amanda mistakenly thought it was for her, and was kicked by Colonfell and broke three ribs, and lay down for three months without getting out of bed - a skewer of barbecue, Colonfell would rather give it to the dog than to give it to Amanda, let alone find her a priest, or use magic potions, and can only rely on the herbs found by Estelle, and carry it by herself.
Esteller reached out to help his daughter pick it up.
But Gavin took it back and whispered, "Let her do it herself." β
Amanda was clearly in a state of mind, even though Colonfell was dead, even though she had killed him countless times.
But in her heart, the hatred and fear of him will never go away.
She is an earthbound spirit, a carrier of negative energy, this kind of autistic mentality, it is easy to go wrong, and she must find a way to let her come out.
The easiest way is to take it step by step, and eating is the easiest to start and get started.
Although Esteller didn't figure out what Gavin wanted to do, she instinctively felt that this was a good thing for Amanda, so instead of insisting, she patted Amanda on the thin shoulder encouragingly.
Amanda is not lacking in courage, she has proved this countless times with practical actions, and with the encouragement of her mother, half of her body stretched out again, took the kebab, quickly retracted it, and ate it carefully and cherished, as if she was eating supreme food.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
