Chapter 8 History books can answer many questions.
"That's right. Only you nobles and wealthy merchants are qualified to call yourself civilized people. The rest are either barbarians or cheap people."
Hardy and Edward both have their own views on the term civilized world.
Edward turned to look at his brothers who had turned into pieces of flesh, laughed a few times, and said, "You want to know who instigated me?"
Hardy looked down at the other person, smiling and saying nothing.
"Your eyes and expression make me feel sick, full of the stench of superiority." Edward said angrily: "The little Hardy before was more pleasing to the eye and more comfortable."
Hardy finally endured it. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Aren't you guys forcing me to become like this?"
He was able to obtain this body thanks to the 'chronic collapse' of the original owner's soul.
The main reason is that Karina and Ryan officially became a couple, and the secondary reason is the disappearance of their father.
Under the double blow, the original body, which was not strong in the first place, turned into a weakening idiot, and then the current Hardy woke up in his body.
Edward was stunned for a moment, and then his resentment and viciousness disappeared in an instant, and his eyes became confused: "It's also... the little Hardy from before, but he can say hello to us cheap bones." "
Then, yes. Tell me, who ordered you?"
"I don't know!"
Hardy:? ? ?
Looking at Hardy, who looked confused, Edward sighed: "We were drinking in a tavern in Chelan City, and someone came to our door and negotiated this deal with us anonymously." "
Since it's a business, there will be a deal. What's the content?"
"They were responsible for the peripheral attack, and we were responsible for the internal coordination. After catching Old Hardy, they were responsible for the torture. Although Old Hardy cried like a girl, he didn't say anything."
"After that . It's up to us to come back here to arrest you. It seems inconvenient for them to enter the Hexi Territory."
Hardy's eyes were as calm as before: "What do they need?"
Edward continued: "They said that all the Hardy family members Give us all their belongings, they only want a pure black saddle."
Hardy's eyebrows subconsciously raised.
Edward saw it. His face was already pale due to too much color loss, but when he saw Hardy's expression changing, he became excited, blushed on his face, and asked loudly: "Saddle, what is that?" Something? What is this huge wealth that can be worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins? Tell me so that I can die with peace of mind. "
What is it?
A true heirloom of the Hardy family, something that only the current Hardy can successfully fuse over the generations.
Be the stepping stone for the strong.
Did the other party really come here for this thing?
In fact, Hardy had suspected this before.
Looking at Edward's thirsty and somewhat crazy eyes for knowledge, Hardy drew out his long sword and swung it down hard.
The big head rolled to the side, and the sound of blood spurting out from the neck was very similar to the water gun used by children in summer.
Edward's shocked expression froze.
Hardy slowly turned his head and looked at the blacksmith who was huddled in the corner.
He walked over.
Blacksmith Sam shrank into a ball. Hearing the footsteps, he didn't dare to look at Hardy. He shrank back desperately, crying and shouting: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm sorry, don't kill me, little Hardy, it's me." Wrong, I was wrong, please."
"Don't get involved in the arena of big shots in the next life. You are too weak. Whether it is strength or psychology, you will break with the slightest touch." Hardy's face He waved his sword calmly: "Sorry, I can't leave any hidden dangers."
Another head fell to the ground.
Hardy looked at the single-family house not far away, where the lights had been extinguished.
He could easily get inside if he wanted to.
They are just women and children, and they have no ability to resist in front of professionals. He stood there for a while and finally left.
Back outside the manor, they saw Jack and the red-haired maid waiting anxiously, walking back and forth.
After they saw Hadi's figure, they all showed joy and trotted over at the same time.
After returning home, Lillian took a shower, and then put on soft and comfortable pajamas, Hardy slept on the gorgeous big bed.
Edward's last words echoed in his mind.
The other party wants a black saddle... Logically speaking, no one else knows about this thing except the Hardy family and his son.
But it cannot be ruled out that the 'father' also told people he considered close to him.
Old Hardy's interpersonal network was not complicated. After careful investigation, a person who seemed very suspicious surfaced.
Old Hardy's brother, Little Hardy's uncle.
'Thomas Hardy' who works as an ordinary freeman in Moszeli territory.
Just thinking about it further, it seems impossible.
'Father' was in trouble in Chelan County, but Thomas Hardy was in Moserly County, and to be honest, Thomas Hardy did not have enough financial resources to hire powerful mercenaries and professional killers to deal with him. His own brother.
He is just an ordinary person, far from his father's financial level.
After excluding the uncle, there are no candidates worth considering.
Who else knows that the Hardy family has black saddles.
After thinking about it, Hardy couldn't sleep, so he went to his father's bedroom.
Since the death of his father, this place has been 'sealed'. Without Hadi's order, the maids dare not go in to clean and organize things.
When I opened the door, a slight musty smell hit my face.
Hardy walked around inside and found nothing of special intelligence value after checking.
Then he browsed randomly on the bookshelf. His father's hobby is reading history.
However, the historical records of France are not very good, they are intermittent, and are mixed with many myths and legends, which are both true and false, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish.
In comparison, the history of the elves is much more reliable.
They even recorded the palace scandals of the elven royal family.
It just focuses on a hard core.
It is a pity that the historical books of the elves are well collected, and it is difficult for humans to take a look at them. It is a pity... Wait!
history?
It seemed like a flash of lightning flashed across Hardy's forehead, and he suddenly realized something.
After he entered his study, he immediately entered the secret room through the secret passage and found several parchment books with a sense of age.
Opening the oldest one, he quickly found a record.
'In the year 523 of the Holy Light Calendar, Zack Hardy accidentally rescued Prince XXXX and was gifted a Nightmare Saddle. Unfortunately, his soul qualifications were too poor and could not be activated. I hope that among the descendants in the future, there will be outstanding ones who can complete the saddle. Chris's wish is to transform our Hardy family into a family of professionals. '
Prince XXXX's record is nearly a hundred years old, and it was too old, causing the ink to be blurred, thus losing some information.
But even so, it is still a big gain.
In addition to the Hardy family, those who knew about the existence of the Nightmare Saddle also had... the royal family.
