Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 60 About Cynthia
"Inferior?" Alan was startled by the word. Although people in this world have a strong sense of class, few people will say such words so directly...... It contains extremely strong discrimination.
"Well, I don't know how he used that word...... But I could hear it clearly, and he was indeed talking about 'inferior people'. Riel said word for word.
Although Riel usually looks a little unreliable, Alan knows from the look on Riel's current face that he is not talking nonsense without any basis.
"Strange isn't it?" Riel saw that Alan didn't speak and asked, "It's obviously a brother and sister, but he doesn't know anything about his sister's personal hobbies, and he uses such an excessive word." ”
"Hmm...... It's rather strange. Alan replied softly, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything more.
"By the way," Riel suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is it really the first time you two have seen each other today?"
"yes, why do you ask?" said Alan, a little strange.
"Uh...... I don't know why, but when I watched the two of you talk, I always felt that you two knew each other very well, as if they had known each other for a long time...... So I wondered, have you seen ...... before?"
"Is there one?" Alan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "But she and I are indeed meeting for the first time today......"
"Remember what you two said this morning?"
"Uh...... What are you talking about...... When you were in the statue gallery?" Alan remembered.
"Hmm...... There were six people there, but no one could understand what you were saying except for you...... To be honest, this kind of understanding of you two will be very ...... Well...... It's ......" Riel said with a strange expression.
"What?" asked Alan.
"Uh...... I can't tell you how it feels, it's weird and it's a little uncomfortable......" Riel said.
"Uncomfortable?"
"Yes...... Although we have known each other for more than ten years, I have to say that I was completely confused about what you wanted to say at the time...... But she knew it all right. Riel sighed.
Alan almost laughed when he heard him say this, he didn't expect that he was actually struggling with this matter, and it was really not his style to care about this kind of detail.
However, Alan quickly suppressed his smile and said, "Actually, I'm ...... too She also made me feel a little sick. ”
"Huh?" Riel looked at Allen and saw that he wasn't joking.
"She's not easy. Allen's expression was serious.
"Isn't it easy?"
"Well......" said Allen, "do you know why I was asking when the Frevinslow family was in Krivari?"
Riel shook his head in confusion.
"Do you remember the fork in the road we passed when we got here, and what was the sign on it?" asked Allen again.
"Let me think about it...... "Aryl scratched his head, "uh...... Is it sixty kilometers from Krivari, forty kilometers from here?"
"That's right. Alan said, "That's weird, isn't it?"
"Uh...... What's weird?" Riel was still confused.
"Judging by what is written on the stone wall, the castle was originally built by the Stone family, then destroyed, and then rebuilt at the Winslow family's expense, right?"
"Well, that's what it says......"
"That's weird...... Although it is called the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the castle is at least thirty kilometers away from the city of Krivari, not even a suburban ...... If it's already been destroyed and it's so far away from Krivari, why go to the trouble of renovating it?"
"Uh......"
"It can be seen that all the buildings except the twin spires have been rebuilt, and with this money, it is possible to build a school of the same size near Krivari, or even in the city, so that it is much more convenient in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation than here, why build it in such a wilderness?" Alan didn't seem to expect Riel to answer, and continued with a frown: " And the stone wall says that in the year 887 of the First Age of Hepp, someone discovered it, and by that time the castle was completely lifeless, and everyone was dead, and the cause of death was unknown...... That's strange again......" Alan stood up and began to pace slowly, "What kind of terrible thing happened that could cause the entire castle to die at the same time, and no one was spared?"
"Uh...... Could it be some natural disaster? such as an earthquake, a tornado, or something like that......"
"Impossible...... Senior Frey said that the Stone family is the best at space-time magic...... After seeing the structure of the inner spire, I also think that the people of their family are not only good at it, but also proficient...... Linked to the means by which they escaped from the battlefield against the Magic Eye at the time, I am sure that if they wanted to run, it would be difficult for some natural disaster to stop them. Alan immediately dismissed Riel's idea.
"Then you mean ......"
"That's right...... I think it's artificial. Alan paused and looked at Riel and said.
"Man-made! You're saying so many people were killed?" "Oh my god...... Unbelievable! What a crime this must be! If he is discovered, he will definitely be locked up in the Misty Forest for the rest of his life! Will anyone take this risk?"
"I'm not sure...... But it's not entirely impossible. Allen still stands by his opinion.
"That'...... If your speculation is correct, who do you think would have done it?"
"I don't know...... But my instincts tell me that the Winslow family has nothing to do with it......" Alan sat back down and said, "That's why I ask when the Winslow family came to Crivari...... According to Cynthia, he came here in 885 A.D., that is, just two years before the castle was discovered by another group of people......" With that, Alan glanced at Riel and asked, "Do you know what that means?"
"Uh...... It's unusual......" Rare had a vague sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Yes...... While there is no evidence that the Winslow family had anything to do with the disappearance of the Stone family, this is definitely not an accident. ”
"Then you suspect that the Winslow family did it?"
"That's right. "But that's just speculation." ”
Riel bowed his head and remained silent when he heard this. After a long while, he seemed to remember something again, and asked Allen with a shocked face: "That Cynthia said to you that 'I think the same as you', is that referring to this?"
"Yes......"
"Oh my God!" called Rare.
"Well, I didn't expect anyone to think the same way as me, and to think about it almost at the same time...... Even one step ahead of me. Alan stared at Riel and said, "That's why I said, she's not easy!"
"It's not easy, I thought she was pretty when I first met her, but now I suddenly think she's a little scary!" said Riel as he jumped up from bed.
"Shhhhhhhhhh
Rare also realizes that his voice is too loud and quickly gags his mouth. He stuck his head out to look the other way, and Ian heard his voice and was looking this way.
"What's wrong?" Ian asked.
"No, it's nothing...... "Riel quickly smiled awkwardly and retracted his head again.
"No wonder you're so concerned about her......" Riel muttered quietly, "I thought ......"
"Why?" asked Allen.
"I thought it was ...... Belch...... Nothing ......."
"What about Frey and Cynthia's engagement...... What do you think?" Riel abruptly diverted the subject.
"What do you think?" said Allen, confused by his question.
"Uh...... Don't you think it's a little abnormal?" asked Riel, "You look at his age, at most he's a little older than you, and he's already engaged." ”
"Hmm...... This is really abnormal. "But it's not incomprehensible that he chose to inherit his grandfather's wishes." ”
"What will?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? Frey is a man of great self-esteem and is very strict with himself...... And the sense of responsibility he has is extraordinary. "Although the children of the extended family are usually like little Winslow, pampered, too lazy to do anything, and unmotivated, he has none of those things in him." It can be seen that his father's untimely death had a great impact on him, and family changes made him learn to be independent and strong earlier, and also learned to accept. He knew that it was impossible to refuse the marriage offer that his grandfather had arranged for him...... This is probably the only chance to quickly revive the Wagbein family. ”
"Oh...... I see......" Rare nodded, "This is his grandfather's other hand?"
"That's right. "Because he couldn't wait for his uncle to come back, and because he couldn't watch the Wagbean family slowly decline with this unresponsive wait, his grandfather had to do it." ”
"It seems that being born in a big family is not necessarily a good thing......"
"But what worries me more is the sudden departure of his uncle more than ten years ago, and the unexpected death of his father......" Alan said thoughtfully as he bit his lip, "It's weird." ”
"Weird?"
"Hmm...... Something very special must have happened, otherwise who would be willing to leave this life of fine clothes and food and their own good future behind, and hold back the longing for their family......" Alan said.
Riel saw that Alan was thinking intently, and did not speak.
"Moreover, the relationship between the Wagbein family and the Winslow family does not seem to be as good as it seems...... Even ......" Alan muttered to himself.
"Or even what?" asked Riel curiously.
"Uh...... It's nothing ......," Alan said suddenly, coming back to his senses.
"Hawkers, anyway, I feel that the relationship between the wealthy families is too complicated, and you and I can't see through it without being in it, so let's not guess here. Riel shrugged and lay down, "Let's go to bed early." ”
"Uh-huh......" Alan replied softly.
But Alan's thoughts didn't stop. He looked out the window, and although he could not see the moon in his place, the moon must have come out, for the moonlight mixed with the starlight had sprinkled down like mercury, and sprinkled in the garden of the four seasons outside the window, and into his heart.
