Chapter 32 4. After eating in the dining area, the old man
Dendacus returned to the spire where he lived before.
Opening the door was a spiral staircase. The edge of the staircase was filled with mirrors. You could directly see the top of the interior of the spire from the door. He closed the door, drew out the noble curved sword, placed it across his chest, took out a flintlock pistol, turned on the safety, and left. Go up.
The top room is spacious and the interior furnishings are unique and unique, with only one barred window that requires being inside the tower to open.
I looked at the tabletop and it was spotless, which meant that the waiters were cleaning it regularly.
Darkus checked around the house to make sure it was safe, then walked into the bathroom to run water for a bath.
"I should have passed this level, but since I haven't met the family law enforcement champion Keslay and the young master Newkel, the clan mother doesn't have to think about it. The old man must be studying dark magic on the top of the tower."
Duck was lying in the bathtub. Us sighed.
"Stay for a few days and find an opportunity to run away. This cousin is still the same. He should be twenty-five this year. He originally completed the trial and came back to join the Black Ark raid. As a result, the trial was delayed for half a year. The Black Ark is gone, and he He just came back. At that time, everyone thought he had deserted the family. The clan mother Annasara sacrificed several times for divination before finding out that he was fine." "What
if the father is kind and the son is filial, but the brothers are hostile and turn against each other? Yes, after all, the hell-stricken family is in Du. The Luqi society has stood for five thousand years and has its own advantages. Newkel's uncle was defeated and died, and there has never been any trouble within the family. It can be said that there is harmony and a happy family. After all, the family's law enforcement champion is not a troublemaker. Just for fun."
Five thousand years ago, the head of the family at that time was the husband of the clan mother Anasara. He led the troops and died in Tal Anlek in Nagaris. Then his younger brother took the opportunity to seize power and was killed by Anasara. La Union and Morathi were killed. Later, the Hellscourge family, like the Corrupted Heart family of Kalonde Kal, was one of the few Naggaroth families whose blood was thicker than water.
"Go to bed!"
The next day, the weather was sunny and the sun was very red, like a glowing tomato.
Darkus was still sleeping on the bed, and a sound came from the crystal ball on the bedside table next to him.
"Good morning, young master, Young Master Newkel has informed you to go to dinner."
The voice of Butler Dia came from the crystal ball. Upon hearing the name Newkel, Darkus suddenly lost all sleep.
"Hold the grass! Newkel! What's going on? Why would this old bastard find me?"
Darkus jumped up, cleaned up and went downstairs. Butler Dia pointed a sword in front of him and guided him to follow. , heading towards the study.
Butler Dia led the way and said in a low voice: "Young Master Newkel just now knew that you were back and wanted to see you."
Darkus had a slight cold sweat on his forehead and his legs began to wobble a little. This was not due to adrenaline secretion, but from the secretion of adrenaline. It's just shaking. He thought as he walked: "The life span of the elves in the medieval war hammer is only more than a thousand years. I don't have the ability to deal with Druch who has lived for five thousand years. This brother usually avoided him before."
After a while, they arrived at the door of the study. Butler Dia knocked on the door gently, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Butler Dia turned around and signaled. Darkus took a deep breath and pushed the door in. After entering, he closed the door and turned to the right. Take a small step forward, point your toes on the left side of your face, raise your hands flat, and bow your head in salute.
"Good morning! Young Master!"
After Darkus came in, Newkel stopped eating, looked up at him, saw him raising his hands flat, and said: "Don't be nervous, come sit down and have something to eat."
Darkwus Si put down his hands, walked slowly to the dining table, sat down, and looked directly at Nukel in front of him. He only saw Newkel's middle-aged appearance, and he felt the majesty, calmness and subtle aging in Newkel.
Newkel said slowly: "Don't be nervous, eat."
Darkus lowered his head and picked up the tableware and started eating, his hands shaking slightly, Newkel saw all this. He took a few bites and was a little confused. He didn't even know what he was eating.
"I heard that you defrauded a village in Asul?"
"Yes, you were lucky. Ren of the Takaia family deceived the main troops in the village."
"Huh, luck? Not many Durou Qi Hui went to attack their cousins during the Haxiya Trial Voyage. The dignitaries in the city were very crazy last night. There has been no war for almost five hundred years, and it has been a long time since there were so many cousins in Krakalond. Yes."
Newkel stopped eating, wiped his mouth elegantly with the napkin around his neck, then leaned on the chair, folded his arms and looked at Darkus.
Darkus also stopped eating, put his hands on his hands, looked at Newkel, and did not answer. He didn't know how to answer.
"You have become the divine choice of the [Prophecy Weaver] Morayig Heg?"
Darkus was about to suffocate, and cold sweat began to flow from his head. He began to think quickly: "Damn it! How did he know? The three brothers and sisters of Takaia sold me?"
Nukel stared at Darkus's eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Is it hot in the room? ? You are sweating." After a pause, he continued: "Last night, Keslay went to visit the three brothers and sisters. They persisted until the last moment, and they proved their loyalty to you. After that, Kesslay gave They had something to drink and they talked about everything." After a pause, he continued: "After all, they are your followers, you can't kill them, right?" What
could Darkus say? Why can he stand up and yell at Newkel angrily? Don't be ridiculous, he could only nod in agreement. Newkel continued: "These three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family are very good. I like them. They are better than their ancestors. Maybe the hope for the revival of their family lies in them. Regarding what happened last night, I hope you will not Mind you, I just added an insurance policy for you and taught you a lesson. You must know that you are a descendant of the Hell Calamity family and don’t trust these Druchs."
Darkus nodded in agreement.
"I have arranged for a dwarf construction team to help them repair their ancestral home. This is my reward for them." "
Thank you, young master."
Nukel continued: "Are you full?"
Darkus shook his head. He said: "No." After that, he continued to eat.
Nukel was dodged for a moment, looked at Darkus who was lowering his head and eating something and raised his eyebrows and continued: "Don't worry, I won't ask you why you became Morayig Heg's divine choice, as long as you It's enough that he is a descendant of the Hell Calamity Family."
Darkus continued to eat with his head down, and he almost finished the food on the table.
"By the way, what's going on with that lizard?"
Darkus knew he couldn't hide, so he put down the tableware, swallowed what was in his mouth, looked into Nukel's eyes, and said thoughtfully: "I have a magical feeling. The ability to talk directly to the skink without language barriers."
Newkel nodded and said: "This is unplanned, and it is also your own business. Of course, you can make some requests to the family. The family will try its best to satisfy you. In addition, who knows about this?"
Newkel's words surprised Darkus.
"The two Takaia brothers, the beast trainer Kalien, and the captain Dastan Cold Eyes, I'm not sure if Franais knows about it." "
It's okay, I'll let Keslay handle it, as long as they don't tell anyone. It's okay. You also need to practice your martial arts skills. You can't beat a monkey, even though you are only an adult."
The title of monkey belongs to the arrogance of the older generation of Druchi. When they were all-powerful, those humans were still in the primitive stage and were indeed no different from monkeys. This arrogance continues, but the powerful still have to learn the language of these monkeys. After all, we can't expect these slaves to learn the Elvish language, right? It can also be used when going out to sea for raids, but it is very fragmented anyway.
"Yes."
"What do you have in mind next?"
"I want to go to the forest farm on the edge of the Black Ridge Mountains for a while."
Newkel looked at Darkus for a while and said with a smile: "You are a bit surprised. My expectation, I thought you would go on duty at Ebon Claw like your brother, or go out on adventures, eager to go to Lustria or something. Okay, there is nothing to do now anyway, if you want to go, go. "
By the way, there's another thing. Last night, the patriarch of the Thorns family asked me to let his youngest son, who just returned from the trial, be your retinue."
Nukel paused as he spoke, and then said something sinister. He said: "You have to promise me to ensure his safety! This is very important! These dignitaries in the city have been disobedient recently."
Darkus thought to himself: "What the hell, is he my subordinate or me? Is it his retinue? Why is it the other way around? What is this? A political hostage?"
"Will someone assassinate him? For example, a Kane assassin or something like that?"
"Probably, probably not. He left this trial empty-handed. He returned, and his legs were a bit sloping, but his father still loved him very much, and the other five brothers and one sister were very dissatisfied with this."
Seeing that he could not refuse, Darkus said repeatedly: "I understand, I promise! Naga There is no place for a weakling or coward in Ross, but the slope of his feet does not prevent him from becoming an excellent cold lizard fear knight."
"Okay, this is a test for you. The Soul Claw is back and we are going to go to the market today. ?"
"Yes, go shopping and see if you can find treasures."
Newkel relaxed and said with a soft smile: "Sorry, I have a lot to say today. I haven't talked to the younger generations of the family for a long time. In this case , I won’t keep you, Soverein is not enough to find Dia, I wish you success!” Darkus
stood up, pulled out his chair and bowed his head to Nukel, then slowly backed away, went to the door and opened the door with his backhand. He went out and bowed his head again before going out.
Inside the house, Newkel regained his majestic expression, stood up, and leaned against the window to think.
After a while, he saw Darkos walking quickly across the garden, smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the map hanging in the study, looking at Nagaryth in the northwest of Ulthuan.
