Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed.
Gray Castle, Garden Villa.
"What? What? Do you think I'm going to eat you? At the dining table?" In the room, Heath was staring at the little maid in front of him in stunned silence. He never thought that he was actually related to the ogre in her heart.
equal sign.
After getting along with each other for several months, Nicole also felt that maybe she was thinking wrongly, but she still couldn't figure out why Heath was so good to her.
She said nonchalantly: "But...but the adults are so kind to Nicole...Nicole really doesn't understand..."
Heath rolled up his index finger knuckle, knocked on Nicole's forehead hard, and said dissatisfied: "What a mess, when a boy shows kindness to a girl, shouldn't the first thing that comes to mind is that the boy likes the girl?"
Nicole was stunned: "I like it. Are you saying that you like Nicole? But you have never..."
If she could get Heath's blessing, she wouldn't have the entanglement at this moment. It would at least let her know that she is valuable and useful, instead of like now... suffering so many unwarranted favors, it's really
It's not reassuring...
"Uh..." Looking at the worried little maid in front of him, Heath was speechless. This was because he had never considered finding a soul mate in this world. How could it be possible for two people who grew up with different worldviews to have a different outlook on life?
Fit?
He shook his head: "Don't think so much, you will understand later."
Over the course of a few months, Heath got to know this little girl better and learned that she had a very miserable life. She lost her parents when she was young and was raised by her uncle. However, his beast-like uncle had always been...
He planned to sell her, so he instilled many slave ideas in her since she was a child, such as women are men's tools, women should serve men, live to please men... and so on.
In the end, if she hadn't been taken in by the Alberts who passed by by accident and heard about the girl's situation, she would have been sold to a slave trader early in the morning and become a tool for the latter to make money, and stayed in a dark room.
inside.
Even if life circumstances have changed, how can those ideological stamps that have been imprinted on her since childhood be so easy to change? In addition, the general environment here is like this. No matter how much I continue to explain to her, I can’t explain it clearly. I can only rely on her.
Experience it yourself slowly.
"Okay, okay, that's it." Heath stopped the topic, paused, and then changed the subject: "Go to the study and get me some books. Well...it's on the left side of the first row of bookshelves.
Bring them all over and I’ll choose them myself.”
Yesterday afternoon, Heath had successfully condensed the sixth rune. His mental strength was very impetuous after being promoted. As usual, Heath planned to give himself a few days off to relax and let his mental strength settle down.
Soon, Nicole brought the books, and Heath picked a few and went to the balcony, drinking hot milk, eating snacks, and enjoying reading with the summer morning breeze.
What he was holding in his hand at the moment was a history book, one of the ones he brought back from the school tower. There were burn marks on the book, so it was probably one of the few books rescued from the fire scene.
One.
The content tells the story of the last lord of the Grafton family, the dead old Duke Rawls who was known as the Mad King. Heath looked at the title on the cover and it was called "Roll".
"Biography of Si" should be a personal biography written by Xueta for him.
This legendary old Duke Heath is quite interesting. His illegitimate son became famous and became a Duke, and then single-handedly overturned the building to create the current situation. I wonder how these scholars would evaluate such a person?
With such curiosity, Heath settled down and started reading.
However, after reading through it, Heath was greatly disappointed. The whole book was more like a god-making novel than an objective and impartial historical biography. The whole book was filled with boasts and myths about Rawls. In this book
That old Duke was so awesome that he was so powerful that he didn't even look like a human being.
For example, in describing a siege involving Gray Castle's life and death, the key to Gray Castle's victory in the end was that Duke Rawls and two of his followers went to the enemy camp at night and beheaded the enemy commander.
.
And his famous battle, the Battle of the River Beach, was even more outrageous. He led a dozen knights to fight against thousands of enemy troops. At the critical moment of life and death, there were flying sand and rocks, lightning and thunder, and there were almost no meteorites falling from the sky... It was almost like
Blue Star Liu Xiu, son of the plane, has a chance to fight...
"Although it is said that under the feudal system, in order to increase the legitimacy of rule, kings would inevitably pull some supernatural power out of the tiger's skin, but this is too outrageous..." Shaking his head, Heath put down the 'history book'
.
However, just as he put the book on the table, he seemed to remember something again. He picked up the book again and reopened it, reading the contents again in confusion.
He suddenly remembered a question. Although of course what was described in the book could not happen under the normal Blue Star worldview, the problem is that this is not Blue Star, and it is not a normal worldview.
Yes, magic!
Whether it's one against a hundred, flying sand and rocks, or even lightning and thunder, meteorites falling from the sky... all these incredible phenomena are very easy to explain if you use magic, and absolutely all of them are completely possible!
Could it be that...this Duke of Rolls is actually a wizard?
No, no, no, this is impossible... If he is really a wizard, how did he practice in the past few decades? The magic stone for burning candles alone is an astronomical sum, not to mention the various materials required for advancement. To be able to
To achieve the phenomena described in the history books, the magic power required is at least a medium or high-level wizard. There is no reason for a wizard at this level to live in such a small place and become a noble lord, let alone die at such a young age.
…
But...what if?
The more impossible he felt, the more he wanted to think about it. Heath looked at the bizarre and incredible heroic deeds in the book. If they were not fabricated, then they could only use magic to answer them.
'It seems like we should be doing an experiment...'
It just so happens that the sixth rune has the ability to verify this. You will know if you are a wizard and try it...
Heath silently decided in his heart.
Immediately, he closed the book and looked at the author's name on the cover. However, when he saw the name, his brows wrinkled again.
Author: Adams.
Adams...
He clearly remembered that wasn't this the scholar who had the clues to the Lvli ruins and knew the hidden text?
