There are garrisons stationed on the periphery of the Storm's Breath Fort, and there are teams patrolling and watching them all the time, even if it is a small path and a dark path, there are people guarding it, on the other hand, the Iron Guards are much lax, pretending to surround outside the Storm's Breath Castle, and do not launch an offensive, which is unpredictable.

There is a tunnel under the stone slab behind the stairs in the west hall of Storm's End, which was originally used for emergency escape, after all, Nolan has offended too many people, and the city of North Wind is in the center of the vortex, even if he is a duke, he has to leave a way back.

The tunnel is one zhang wide, cold and abnormal, not ventilated all year round, although there is no problem with breathing, but it is full of unpleasant earthy smell, no matter day or night, there are no fingers in it, there is no light, but because of this, even the servants in the house do not know where it is, let alone outsiders.

If he hadn't told Xiao Shu in a daze at that time, I'm afraid he would have had to return to Lingwan with the promise first, after all, the 50,000 Iron Guards didn't just break through.

The tunnel is not long, and it is not short, and it is not short, all the way to Moyo Erli.

Rose could not bear to speak at first, she didn't know what to say, but after a long time, she only heard her own footsteps and breathing, and the more she walked, the more depressed she felt, and Xiao Shu behind her seemed to not exist, the sound of breathing, footsteps was nothing, and there was not even a sense of existence.

"Hey...... Can't you just say a word?"

Rose slowed down her pace and walked side by side beside Xiao Shu, she didn't dare to walk in front of her alone, as a great spirit warrior, she was afraid of the dark and couldn't say it, but this place was too depressing, giving her the illusion of being out of breath.

"Say what?"

Xiao Shu understood what Rose meant, but he was not good at finding topics, and he generally didn't talk when he didn't have to, and he had already developed a habit.

"Hmm...... Didn't you say you weren't from this world? Or tell me what your life was like. That's what Rose is most curious about, what will the world look like outside of this world?

"There's nothing to say, there are no grievances and hatreds at all, I've practiced other people's swords for more than ten years, I don't know what to say, and it took me five or six years to realize my own way, it's ridiculous, the world doesn't see immortals and demons, but I've seen it all over again, and now, I don't know how good the old people are. ”

Xiao Shu shook his head and chuckled, the past was as plain as water, only two or three figures still remembered it, and he didn't know if he was okay?

"I've always thought you weird, you still said that you were fifteen years old, obviously you are already a fifty or sixty-year-old man, you must be wrinkled and gray-haired. "Rose listened to it for a long time, what kind of immortals and demons, I didn't understand the enlightenment, but Xiao Shu's age must be much older than herself.

"Although I don't seek immortality, but now that I have survived, fifty years of life is nothing, whether it is gray hair or childishness, it is all in one thought. "Xiao Shu has nothing to hide, if he wasn't bound by this soulless spirit puppet, the complexion of his body would change from his heart.

Although Xiao Shu said that she listened to the clouds, there was a person who spoke, better than the previous depression, and suddenly reached the end of the tunnel, outside was an unoccupied house, almost on the edge of the Wind Rest Castle, but because of the opposite direction, if you don't look directly from the top, you really can't notice that they are only two miles away from each other.

"Do you plan to go back to Lingwan directly or go home?" Xiao Shu asked.

"Classes have been suspended recently because of these things, and Lingwan doesn't have many students, I plan to go home first, you go back, I still recognize the way home, and I can't help much anyway." ”

Rose smiled at Xiao Shu in frustration, she had no way to make a choice without hesitation like Xiao Shu and them, no matter how strong the sense of justice in her heart was, she had to consider the safety of her family, besides, if a big spiritual priest really wanted to fight, what role could it play in the melee of nearly 100,000 people?

"Anyway, it's okay now, I'll send you back, what if someone kidnaps you on the way. ”

"Hey, I'm also a great spirit warrior, Lingwan's teacher, although ...... Although it can't compare to you, but not everyone can bully, please don't judge people by their appearance, just look at your appearance, it's clear that you are the one who is most likely to be abducted. ”

Rose stretched out her hand to compare the height of herself and Xiao Shu, proudly stretched out a finger, and shook it at Xiao Shu, "Look, I'm a little taller than you, instead of worrying about me, it's better to worry about yourself, go back." ”

Xiao Shu pondered for a while and said, "Well, be careful." ”

As Xiao Shu turned to leave, Rose let out a long breath, and walked towards his home, the aristocratic area is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the princess is like Nolan's generation, only one Wind Breath Fort covers an area of fifty hectares, which is worth ten times and a hundred times that of the little nobles, strictly speaking, Rose also belongs to the children of the nobility, even if it is in name only.

Worrying about her family is a fact, but more importantly, because of fear, Rose is walking more and more slowly, she has seen the courtyard of her house, not a large double-storey house, the stone wall outside is always wet, the dilapidated and yellowed fence door can't be closed, compared to the Wind's Breath Castle, it is more like a servant's house, not as good as Lingwan's dormitory.

Rose subconsciously relaxed her hands and feet, and quietly pushed open the fence door, even so, the door still made an unpleasant and harsh sound, which frightened Rose subconsciously retracted her hand.

Squeak, squeak, squeak

The fence gate bobbed back and forth, as if mocking Rose's cowardice.

"Where?"

The man pushed the door open, staring at Rose with a blank face, short gray hair, simple coarse linen clothes, thin cheeks with sunken eyes, and a badly worn cane, walking step by step in front of Rose.

"I didn't ...... I haven't been anywhere, I've been a little busy these days. Rose bowed her head.

"Hmph, such a big thing happened in North Wind City, Ling Wan has already stopped class, you don't know anything about me, and you have to lie!? Enter the house!" the man said coldly.

Rose didn't say a word, staring at the cane, only feeling a faint pain in her shoulders and arms, and again, since her mother left, there has been no normal communication between father and daughter, and if you don't agree, you will be beaten and scolded.

Rose always fantasizes that if her father had died directly on the battlefield instead of just being injured, would her life be better, and would her mother not be gone?

If it's all false after that, there is no if in reality, I haven't seen my father since I was four years old, my mother said that he was a warrior and had to expand the territory for the Northern Ye Kingdom, so there was no way to be by her side, and in those years, Rose was not at all dissatisfied in her heart, because she could proudly tell others that her father was a warrior and an imperial knight who enjoyed honor.

But all this was shattered after she was ten years old, when her father was seriously wounded in another battle and was forced to go home, thanking him for his contributions over the years, and the empire reserved for him the title of knight and canonized viscount, but he was no longer a warrior, and became a gloomy and depressed man who spent all day on crutches, except for drinking, and was angry and beating.

He held himself as an aristocratic and was unwilling to run for a living.

Knight?Viscount?

No, it's not an honor, it's a nightmare.

The annual allowance from the empire was not enough for him to drink, and after his father returned, quarrels became a daily routine, and the down-and-out viscount, the rat among the nobles, and even asked his wife to go out to earn money to support him, and the cold eyes and ridicule made the family on the verge of shattering.

Until one day her mother disappeared, she seemed to be unbearable and left, the fifteen-year-old Rose did not look for it, she only hoped that her mother could live a better life after leaving, in order to make a living, Rose studied in Lingwan while working to make money, barely maintaining a normal life, because every month her father would ask her for money.

"I gave birth to you to support the elderly, you are my daughter, I am your father, heh, do you also want to be a white-eyed wolf who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, just like this damn country and let me fend for myself?"

"What kind of teacher?!How much money can Lingwan give you? So many people are pursuing you, isn't it good to find a rich noble young master to marry? I'm not discussing with you, if you still have my father in your eyes, just be obedient. ”

"What the hell is in your head!? Who asked you to reject him, people are willing to come to look up to you, and you can't bear such a little fetish!? His father is a marquis, and his family has countless fiefdoms, you can't earn it in ten lifetimes if you are a broken teacher, how many times do you have to say it!?"

Similar conversations have appeared countless times, and Rose does not refute or accept it, no matter what her father says, she insists on her choice, this is her only stubbornness.

On the table, there were wine bottles all over the floor, the dim room was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol, and Rose even saw a woman's underwear on the floor.

"Do you still know how to come back? Tell me, what have you been doing for more than half a month?"

He pushed all the bottles on the table away, slammed the ping-pong on the ground, and scattered the remaining liquor on the ground, and sat down on the table, gently shaking his cane.

"I didn't do anything, I just became a teacher, and I have a lot of things to deal with lately. Rose whispered.

"Smack!"

A hot pain came down her arm, and Rose's body trembled slightly.

"How many times have I said it, quit this damn position, and find someone to marry with peace of mind? Rose, you are not young anymore, if you drag it out, those young masters will not look down on you, there are many young and beautiful girls these years, but you are different, you are my daughter, you have noble blood, as long as you want, good guys have. The man slowed his tone and reached out to stroke Rose's cheek.

Rose was silent, and took off her ring and placed it on the table.

"That's right, what kind of teacher, what's the use, if you want money or not, if you want land, you are willing to stay in Lingwan for a lifetime, and live this kind of hard life, I am not reconciled. The man's eyes were full of surprise, the sun came out in the west, why don't you listen to it on weekdays, how can you open up today?

"Take this month's money, you can take it yourself, just leave me a thousand, and I'll go back if there's nothing to do. ”

"Why don't you just understand, what's the use of this money?" The man's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and in front of Rose, he picked up the ring and threw it at her.
