Chapter 81 Reliance After
listening to the words of the old butler Balin, Dale Duncans frowned, "No one has come back? Have you sent anyone else?" "
I just sent three more people. I hope they..." He continued. Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and a young servant in his twenties walked in with a somewhat panicked expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Dale, Butler Bahrain, the people we sent out last night..."
"Huh?" "
They're back."
"Back? Over there, let them come and answer." Bahrain said quickly.
"This..." the servant opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult. They came back fainted. As soon as I went out, I saw three people fainted and put at the door." "Huh?
" Balin was surprised, and Dale Duncans also showed a surprised expression. He stood up quickly and walked towards the door.
When I walked out of the door, I saw the three people sent out last night.
He didn't seem to be hurt, his clothes were neatly dressed, but his eyes were closed tightly, and he was lying quietly on the bed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep like a baby.
Dale Duncans frowned deeply and subconsciously turned the jade ring on his left index finger. He turned to look at the old butler, thought for a while and asked, "You said just now that you would send out three more people, right?" "Yes.
"
" Call them back immediately."
"Understood, sir." Balin stepped forward and walked to the side. As soon as he passed the corner of a wall, he suddenly stopped. He couldn't help turning his head and looked at Dale Duncan with an extremely strange expression. Sri Lanka.
"What?"
"Sir, they are back, right here." Balin stretched out his hand and pointed to the side.
Dale Duncans walked over and saw three people lying on the ground on the other side of the corner. They were the people sent out not long ago. Like the three people before, they were also unconscious.
"Hmm -"
Dale Duncans turned the emerald ring on his left index finger faster, frowned deeply, thought for a long time, and said to himself: "It's interesting... Sure enough, someone who can take out the first-generation Duncans Ring You can't underestimate him. He obviously didn't sense that kind of power, but he was able to deal with the people he sent out... It seems that the other party's identity is extraordinary. There should be someone special for protection around him, maybe a top blood knight. Such a person comes Lensa University, is he a prince from a nearby kingdom?"
"Sir, how should we deal with that Mr. Li He?"
After thinking for a long time, Dale Duncans looked at the old butler Barton and said: "Stop investigating him secretly... The other party He didn't harm the people we sent out, and he doesn't seem to want to stalemate the relationship, so just let him go for the time being... Let's ask Ms. Mira to pay more attention to the situation and respond in time if there is any situation." "Yes.
"
...
Dale Duncans returned to the private dining room on the first floor of his residence, sat at the dining table and continued drinking hot tea. While sipping the tea, he was thinking about things.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded. Dale Duncans looked up slightly and saw his eldest daughter Dana walking in from outside.
"Back?" Dale Duncans said calmly. Through the reports from his subordinates, he knew that his eldest daughter had indeed gone to stay with her best friend Heina for a night, so there was no need to worry.
"Yes." Dana responded. She seemed to be in a good mood. She took the initiative to sit down next to Dale Duncans, raised her head and asked, "Father, do you think wizards really exist in this world?" "Huh?" Dale
... Duncans's eyes flashed and he stared at Dana, a little surprised, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" "
I chatted with Hina all night yesterday. She said that when she was kidnapped by a band of thieves in the sewer, she really He thought he was dead, and even if he didn't die, he would definitely be insulted.
But suddenly a mysterious man in black robes and the opponent's men in exquisite tuxedos appeared. The mysterious man didn't even take action, but the other men's men took the thief away. The group of people dealt with it and then let her go. She felt that such a being must be the legendary wizard." Dana spoke with bright eyes.
Duncans raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, then shook his head and denied: "The person who rescued your good friend in the sewer was not a wizard." He was very sure of this. He was not idle in the night that passed not long ago. He personally went to the Third Street sewer where the incident happened. He did not detect any aura of power related to the wizard there.
"Not a wizard? Okay." Dana shrugged, but she didn't care much, "But wizards do exist in this world, right? By the way, father, you once said that weak power cannot be relied upon. But if it is a wizard who possesses mysterious power, can it be regarded as dependence? In this case, if I can marry a wizard in the future, it will be guaranteed, and you don’t have to worry." "Is marrying a wizard considered dependence
... "The expression on Duncans's face was a little playful, and he smiled slightly and said, "Your idea is very good, at least it is better than the boy who married Karl... But the wizards in this world, even if they exist, are not as good as you think. It’s easy to see.
In addition, they may not be what you imagine. They may be sinister, carry various curses, or even be unable to maintain their normal human form due to failed experiments or injuries in battle. Finally, wizards will not look at ordinary people. People, let alone ordinary people, will not treat ordinary people as partners. The partners of wizards can only be wizards.
On the contrary... some wizard apprentices may marry ordinary people. If this wizard apprentice happens to be more talented and can become a real wizard, Then her ordinary wife will really benefit a lot."
"Wizard apprentice?" Dana frowned slightly. He didn't know wizard apprentices, but he had seen craftsman apprentices.
The apprentices of craftsmen are all young boys. They are ordered around by the craftsmen, eat the worst food, and do the heaviest work. They dare not complain at all, otherwise they will be taught a lesson by the master craftsman. Even drive away.
In her opinion, those who are linked to apprentices, even wizard apprentices, are not necessarily very noble, so they might as well just find a noble to marry.
"I'm not interested in wizard apprentices." Dana shook her head and stood up. "Okay, father, I've been chatting with Hina all night. I'm a little sleepy. Let's rest first." As she spoke, she walked upstairs
.
Looking at Dana's back, Duncans shook his head, sighed softly in his heart, and said nothing.
Pick up the tea and continue drinking.
"Zhizhi——" There was a slight sound. Duncans turned his head and saw little girls in wheelchairs being pushed out by the maid.
The little girl looks to be more than ten years old, her face is extremely white and tender, even a little sickly pale, but her big sky blue eyes are very bright. A sky blue dress was worn on her body, without any decoration, quite simple.
When Duncans saw the other party, he sighed again in his heart.
