Hill continued to read.
After Melanie was seriously injured, she never contacted these princesses again.
She stayed in the manor for the last time, and all subsequent matters were handled by Adrian.
Although the Earl was somewhat interested in her property, Adrian's appearance made him more honest.
Considering that the dowry that Fran gave to Melanie was not very large, and the property of more than 100,000 gold coins was mostly manor jewelry and the like, the earl decided to give up getting into big trouble for this small amount of money.
Hill looked at this passage marked as words spoken by some old servants left in Whitehorse City and let out a breath.
Hill knew this well. Hill asked Lina why the count didn't know anything about Melanie's property.
Lina just smiled and said that the Earl didn't know what an alchemist was at all. He only looked at the things in the box and never paid attention to Mrs. Melanie's jewelry.
Hill understands very well. Many mages have never seen a storage ring larger than 3 square meters in their lives.
Not to mention a noble like the earl. A noble who only knows how to use gold coins to count his property will definitely not be high enough to know many things.
But it was Adrian's appearance that made the count, who originally wanted to visit the manor before Melanie's death, not come over in the end.
This man always makes wrong choices.
Hill remembered that Melanie saw him a little more often at this time.
He soon discovered that his apprentice level was quite high, so he taught him more carefully and set higher requirements for him.
During this period, Melanie was a haggard, sickly beauty with a pale face, which made me pity her.
He could only lie in bed most of the time and continued to teach Hill every day.
She never complained about Count Perast in front of Hill, nor did she speak ill of the Krall family. She was like a mother who suddenly discovered that she had a child and wanted to teach him seriously before she died.
Hill took pity on her very much and tried his best to meet all her requests.
All the relationships between him and Melanie were actually established during this period.
Although he knew that Melanie was only so attentive because of her good aptitude, he had never regarded this little girl as a mother. He had no desire for family affection towards Melanie, and he did not think that a mother must love unconditionally.
own children, so they get along well with each other.
But it was also during this period that Hill was even more impressed that Melanie was actually a good woman. He really felt that Melanie was just too young to be a mother and didn't know how to love her children.
Since he won't put Melanie at the top of his heart, he certainly won't ask Melanie to love him too much.
Melanie's laboratory was completely destroyed after the explosion, and Adrian came to clean up the mess.
The laboratory that Hill later used himself was rebuilt by Adrian.
So he really didn't find anything.
He spent most of his time in the castle, and even if there was anything in the manor that might reveal something, Lina should have cleaned it up.
Hill occasionally went back to take a look, but found nothing at all.
Compared to Melanie, Lina is the one who likes telling Hill about Melanie's innocence and cursing the count's shamelessness the most.
Compared to Melanie, Lina also had the most conflicts with the servants sent by the Krall family to take care of Manton.
So she often complains.
Melanie herself has never said anything in this regard.
The greatest skill of a straight man is to imagine a pure and flawless white lotus and then believe it.
Although when Hill read novels before, he knew that many people put this kind of straight man in the position of being deceived by White Lotus, but he always felt that he was so smart that there was absolutely no way he would be deceived.
Now I understand that it is not White Lotus itself that deceives straight men, but his own imagination.
I’m so angry! Why can he be so imaginative?
Hill threw away the book in his hand, and what happened next was nothing interesting.
Hill rolled unhappily on the bed until someone came to the door.
"Are you okay? Hill." Fran walked in and looked at his unlucky grandson.
"Did grandpa always know?" Hill jumped up.
"If Melanie is as good as you think, Perast will not live to marry her." Fran said lightly, "You really don't understand the status of a palace mage. As long as I am not in public
If I kill him, no one will care about me at all.
Helen and Perast dared to conspire against Melanie, but they actually knew a little bit about her, and she was not an economical person.
It's just that the princesses are their own faction, and other forces have no idea what they are playing.
But there are probably not many princesses in Salar who are not from the evil camp."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Hill wailed.
"Isn't that nice of you." Fran showed a smile, "If you knew about many things, your choices would be completely different from what you do now. You might not even be able to become a magician."
Hill pressed his forehead and let out a long sigh.
If he had known Melanie's true character earlier, he probably wouldn't be so close to Fran.
Either simply stay away and ignore anyone, or join William's army when his identity is exposed.
Because he missed Melanie's blood relationship and later received Frank's sincere love and care, Hill was not alone in this world and out of place.
Fran probably also understood that Hill had a somewhat pure character, so he didn't want to let him know the truth when he was immature.
"If you had a tougher temper, I would have told you." Fran shook his head, "But after you were loved by nature, your personality seems to be closer to nature and more inclined to the good camp. I'm worried that after you know the truth, you will jump head first
Go into the wilderness and never look back, I don’t want to lose you.”
Hill laughed. Grandpa was really willing to say such disgusting words just to comfort himself.
Seeing Fran's worried eyes, Hill felt warm in his heart, but he also felt like smiling bitterly.
In Frank's eyes, how innocent he is!
How could Melanie be sad just because she is white and black?
Melanie's relationship with him has never been close.
Hill's feelings for Melanie were more about being grateful to her for fulfilling the most basic responsibility of a mother, not to mention that Melanie still taught Hill's mage foundation very seriously.
Although Hill's life in those 12 years was difficult, that was because he was strict with himself.
Melanie just doesn't care about his emotions, and she doesn't treat him badly in life.
After all, he is not a real child and will not ask for maternal love from a little girl.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that he did not discover the truth about Melanie at all.
He couldn't regard Melanie as his mother, so naturally he wouldn't care what she did every day.
When Lina said that his mother was in the laboratory and wouldn't go out for a few days, Hill easily believed her.
All his depression is because, does everyone know that Hill Bolaño is a pure fool?
"Don't worry about me, grandpa." Hill shook his head, "I just feel a little stupid, nothing else. Anyway, I am a natural warlock, and I am famous for my simple mind. At most, people think I am easy to deceive.
But I am surrounded by nature, and no one can deceive me when I am an adult.
Besides, I am already a legend! Not many people are qualified to speak in front of me anymore.
Even though my mother is not a so-called good person, she has nothing to apologize to me for.
Besides, there is nothing unusual about her things. Are they rare among the nobles?
I just didn't expect that I really didn't feel anything at all.
I was like a blind man, sincerely thinking that she was kind, cute, and innocent enough to be deceived.
You will probably be laughed at for not having eyes on the top of your head for many years."
Hill's expression was a little stiff. The undead might not read a single book in their own world, but in the game, many people would read such character biographies.
When I think about the tens of millions of people reading this book now, I say sincerely: Hill is so innocent!
Hill felt really embarrassed to death.
He had just killed someone to establish his power and wanted to establish a powerful legendary image in the world, but he was tricked into death by this book and turned into a simple and cute little fool.
Just thinking about it makes the future look bleak.
What was he thinking at the beginning?
His life was very ordinary, and there was nothing that could not be known.
It's really your own fault.
Fran and Adrian knew about it but did not stop it. They just didn't want to tell Hill themselves and planned to let Hill know the truth.
There is no telling how much the undead can dig out. Everything is left to fate.
Otherwise, they really want to prevent the undead from finding out the truth, and there are many ways.
Hill glanced at Fran: "It does have an impact on my grandfather, does this matter?"
"What Melanie did did not exceed the boundaries of a mage. To a certain extent, she also abided by some secret rules of the nobility. Many times, if you don't let others know, you just haven't done it." Fran said coldly.
, "No one among the nobles will accuse her. This matter has nothing to do with us.
It's just that the Perast family is a little embarrassed. It's not because the Count's actions are too embarrassing, but because every choice he makes is wrong.
He married three wives, and each one was more cruel than the last. Then he offended each one more deeply.
Whichever force you choose, no matter which force you choose, you will be in trouble.
When nobles talk about how to make choices in the future, they will use him as a counterexample.
But this has nothing to do with you. The unlucky one is Manton. The only good thing for him is that it is impossible for Charles to contact Salar in a short time."
Hill nodded.
"I just came to see if you can bear the truth about Melanie." Fran looked at Hill and said, "Since you have no problem, I will go back. My semi-artifact will be ready soon.
Notified you to come and see."
Hill simply sent Frank out.
For Frank, who had just said such disgusting words, if he continued to speak, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Hill understands.
