Chapter 18: The Way Home 3

"The Baron asked me to bring this to my brother before leaving, but no one can tell ......."

Tidying up the hem of her skirt, Sophia's eyes were still a little fluttering.

At this time, Gell didn't care about the little girl's mind at all, and his eyes were completely locked on the scroll spread on the table.

The contents of the scroll are not long, but they are extremely important to the entire Colbenson family.

"Under the gaze of the gods, and under the arbitration of His Majesty the King, I, Andrei Wolfgang Kolbensen, the third patriarch of the Kolbenson family, hereby make an oath. After my death, my title, property, and domain will be inherited by my grandson, Griezmann Wolfgang Colbenson, as evidenced by this, and no one else can interfere. ”

It was a will, with the names and seals of Baron AndrΓ© and several others on the back.

Gehr searched in his memory, and finally remembered that these were several nobles who had befriended Baron Andrew, so Baron Andre pulled them to be witnesses to the will.

It was a great thing for him that this will came into the hands of Gehr, and no matter what happened afterwards, Gehr would be in a very advantageous position.

But why did Baron AndrΓ© ask Sophia to bring this will?

"Sophia, what did Grandpa say at the time. Gehr asked.

Sophia raised her head, frowned and thought for a while, before she said slowly: "What did Baron Andre say at the time, give this to Gehr in person, remember, no one can tell him, no one can know the way, and no one else must be present when he gives it to Gehr, do you know the way?" Also, tell Gell that the Colburnson family will look at him." Well, that's it. ”

Geer remembered in his memory that his grandfather Andrei was a soldier, who had made great contributions in the battle against the northern barbarians, and had climbed to the position of the commander of the legion. After retiring and returning home, he has always governed the family with military law, and his majesty is extremely strict, and he is even more strict in the entire territory, and the original Gehr is also more afraid of him than respectful.

But now that this powerful old man is relying on a little girl to deliver such an important thing, is he guarding against something? Does he know that he can't control the situation? Except for Sophia, who can only rely on Gehr in the future, no one can believe it?

Gehr felt that the situation was a little grim, and the will might not help him much.

In order for a will to play a role, there must be an heir who first arrives in the territory, and under the witness of the nobles above the earl, it can only be validated by many nobles, but before, there were too many ways to make the will become a piece of waste paper.

The plan needs to change.

Gehr thought about it, took a piece of paper from the desk, and began to write.

The rustle caused by the friction of the pen tip and the paper echoed in the carriage, and Sophia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was a little curious and wanted to come over to take a look, but after thinking about it, she sat down, leaning against the head of the bed and looking at Gehr's focused and serious figure in a daze.

Bells, bells......

A total of six chimes came from the standing table clock on the wall, just as Gehr finished his writing, folding the paper and putting it in his pocket.

"Sophia, you ask the waiter to bring food over, and give it to Gredo's side, and I'll go outside for a walk. ”

Gehr looked at Sophia before leaving the room.

"That's good, brother. ”

Entering the hallway, Gehr casually asked a conductor for the location of the restaurant, and after refusing the conductor's guidance, he headed towards the restaurant alone.

In one of the carriages before arriving at the restaurant, there is a row of compartments for stacking sundries.

Upon observing that no one was around, Gehr went straight into the compartment numbered three.

"Hello, Mr. Griezmann. ”

In the darkness, a man's voice rang out.

Hearing this sudden voice, Gehr did not show any panic, squinting his eyes to let his eyes slowly adjust to the darkness in the compartment, and at the same time, the scanning and analysis function of the biological brain has also been turned on, and the diorama of this compartment has also been established, locking the mysterious man.

A little fire lit up, and the mysterious man, who had no interest in being with Gehr in the dark, lit a candle that was ready for him.

The firelight dispelled the darkness in the compartment, and the man's figure was hidden in a large black robe, and the distance between the two was no more than a small table.

"Tavron?" asked Gehr tentatively.

"It's me, I'm your intelligence officer this time. ”

"What can you do for me?"

"I can control all of the Brotherhood of Steel intelligence resources in County Joberna, and I can mobilize the power of the stronghold in Mora City for you. ”

"I want to know what happened to my grandfather?"

"It is my regret to inform you that Baron AndrΓ© passed away the day after Miss Sophia's departure. ”

Passed away?!

Geer's heart was suddenly shocked, and his eyes were blurry for a while.

This is the emotion that belongs to the original Gehr. Originally, Geer had thought that it was all dissipated, but he didn't expect it to survive a little, and it broke out without warning under the impact of this news.

That stoic veteran?

The lord who said the same?

That serious, old-fashioned old man?

That strict and demanding grandpa?

The only one you recognize is still alive?

Actually dead?

Died before you even saw each other?

He's a soldier! How can he die like this!

He should never have died in bed!

How could he die like this......

"How did my grandfather die?"

Geer jumped out word by word, like the biting cold wind blowing from the abyssal crypt, and like the unwilling ghost in the netherworld.

Tavron did not seem to be affected by this, and said in the same undulating tone: "It is estimated that he must have died of illness, and after Miss Sophia left, he fell into a coma many times, and finally the treatment was ineffective. Of course, we always had the opportunity to get close to the baron's body, and we don't know if it was due to other causes. ”

"Then His Royal Highness the Prince also knew the Tao in advance?"

"Yes, our message was delivered much faster than Miss Sophia, but we did not get the details until the third day after the death of the Baron, and only the day before Miss Sophia's arrival to the Prince. ”

Gehr nodded, and this was the explanation passed, apparently Prince Fajellino knew very well what Baron Andrew's death meant to Gehr, and was prepared in advance.

At this time, Geer's sudden outburst of emotions also calmed down, but the sadness that was only left between heaven and earth still surrounded his heart and did not dissipate for a long time.

"And what about my 'relatives'?"

"They held a funeral the day after the baron's death, but the latest news has not yet been delivered, and it will not be known until they reach the city of Mora. ”

"I have something you need to do. ”

"Please. ”

Gehr took out the paper from his pocket and handed it to Tavren: "I need these people to get to the castle at this time. ”

"No problem, I'll take care of it. Lovren opened the paper and looked at it, then replied in the affirmative.

"Then how am I going to find you in the future?"

"For three days on the train, I would be here every night at 6pm waiting for you for half an hour. When you arrive in Mora City, the Mora branch will send someone to follow you, and I will be in charge of the Mora branch. ”

"Okay, let's see you later. Gell turned around and listened to the door for a while, and when he was sure that no one was there, he opened the door and left the compartment.

Back in the box, the conductor had already brought the meal, and Sophia was lying on the table in a daze.

"Sophia, why didn't you eat?"

"Ah, brother, I want to wait for you to come back and eat together. When Sophia saw Gehr returning, she quickly raised her body, made the standard aristocratic table manners, and then whispered.

"Let's eat together now. Gehr's voice softened.

According to the custom of the aristocracy, it was not possible to speak while eating. Gehr didn't have this habit, but he just didn't want to say it.

The silent meal soon ended, and the conductor brought two cups of flower tea after cleaning up the table, allowing the two to savor it slowly.

"Brother, aren't you happy?" Sophia took a sip of tea, quietly looked at Gehr for a while, and then asked timidly.

"It's fine. Gehr looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, then he stood up, took out a straight knife, and said to Sophia: "You rest first, I'll go and exercise for a while." ”

"Yes. Sophia nodded obediently. She was indeed very tired, and when she came to find Gehr, she didn't have much rest, and not long after she saw Gehr, she rushed to get on the train back, and it was not enough to rely on the rest in the carriage for a while.

The service bell was pulled, and with the crisp sound of the bell, the conductor knocked on the door in the afternoon.

"Prepare bathing facilities for this young lady and take me to the martial arts training carriage. Gehr commanded.

"Very good, sir. The conductor called a female waitress and asked her to prepare hot water for Sophia, while he took Gehr to the martial arts training car.

Sure enough, as the conductor said, no one used the martial arts training carriage at this time.

All unnecessary clutter in the entire carriage was removed and looked empty. The carriage has no windows, the inner walls are all made of solid black iron, the floor is also thick and rough wood, and several straw figures are placed alone in the middle of the carriage, while some spare straw man targets are stacked on the floor on one side.

Because of the structural limitations of the train, although this carriage has been widened, it can only adapt to martial arts practice, but now Gehr only needs a practice space.

With the help of biological brain analysis and error correction, coupled with the experience of practicing the Black Crow Bow Technique, Gehr's mastery of the Death Thorn Sword Technique is very fast, and after nearly two hours of practice, the movement error rate has been able to stabilize within 10%.

"Establish an analysis model of the exercise effect and give the expected reinforcement effect. After stabilizing the error rate of the moves, Gehr started his routine again.

β€œ...... After the model is established, it is expected to complete the first stage of the Dead Thorn Sword Technique after completing a full set of 1538 movements with an error rate of 10%, and the estimated increase force is 0.26, agility is 0.17, and Physique is 0.23.

Different from the Black Crow Bow Technique, the Dead Thorn Sword Technique mainly improves the strength and physique, which just complements the Black Crow Bow Technique. After all, the Death Thorn swordsmanship is not a training with a bow and arrow, but a complete set of swordsmanship training needs to be completed once.

Geer calculated, about 5 minutes to complete a Death Thorn swordsmanship practice, 6 hours a day of training is 72 times, then it is estimated that it will take more than 20 days to complete the first stage, it seems that the attribute plus more training time will be just as much.

After another two hours of practice, when Gehr felt visibly tired, he stopped and was ready to finish his training and rest.

When he took a step, Gehr suddenly found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he appeared in another world again.
