3. The unremarkable old father

After the steam train arrived at Yorktown, there was no road ahead, and the remaining paths could only be reached by horse-drawn carriages.

"The rest of the journey will be your fault, Uncle Odo."

Anya said to the driver, who was in his fifties. He was not only a driver, but also a housekeeper and a guard.

"It is my pleasure, Your Highness."

The housekeeper bowed slightly and went to town to rent a carriage. Then he took out two large packages that were taller than Kelly from the trunk and piled them on the roof of the car.

It was filled with gifts, most of which were for Roll, and some for the neighbors.

Kelly looked down at her pocket watch, three o'clock in the afternoon.

"We have to hurry up, or we won't get home before dark."

The carriage tickled for more than an hour before arriving at the foot of the mountain.

Keli jumped out of the car, pointed happily to the village halfway up the mountain and said:

"That's my home!"

Anya looked at the small mountain village, her emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed softly:

"I never thought there would be people living in such a remote place..."

The housekeeper carried the two large packages on his shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right, and the three of them walked up the narrow mountain path that had been trampled by people.

While walking, Keli still had a sullen face and said various precautions seriously:

"Although my father has always been gentle and has never been cruel to me, he still gets angry. It's so fierce! It's so scary!"

"Once, a group of gangsters came to the village to rob. Dad got angry and invited them to live in a country house... so you must not make him angry!"

Why do you let gangsters live in villas? You have to compromise?

Anya and the housekeeper were puzzled, but they didn't ask.

Keli often said strange things, and they were all used to it.

"Also, don't tell dad about the things I did outside! I promised him in the letter that I would study hard and study hard. If he knew that I was running around, he would definitely be angry and he would never love me again.

If I die, I will become a wild child that no one wants."

Keli looked at Anya and the housekeeper longingly and begged softly.

The two of them couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. It was obviously a very glorious and glorious thing, a feat that could bring glory to their ancestors, but they didn't dare to tell their families...

But they couldn't resist those big, flickering eyes, so they reluctantly nodded.

"Oh, by the way, don't mention those nicknames of mine to dad. They sound awful and he will definitely not like them either."

Keli didn't forget to add one last sentence.

The three of them continued walking. Halfway through, Anya couldn't walk anymore and asked to take a rest.

On the other hand, the housekeeper, who was over fifty years old and still carrying two large packages, did not even break a sweat, and his breathing was not disturbed at all.

He is undoubtedly a strong man, otherwise he would not have been specially sent here.

However, after the housekeeper carefully observed the surrounding environment, his expression became a little solemn.

"What's wrong?"

Kelly asked.

The butler's face flashed with confusion, and he replied in a low voice:

"I noticed some strange fluctuations, a bit like the fluctuations left after the battle, but there are many strange places, and a long time has passed..."

"Miss, didn't you feel it?"

"No, this place is exactly the same as when I left."

Kelly replied very definitely.

"Since the lady doesn't feel anything, it must be my illusion."

The butler did not pursue the issue further.

Although Keli's combat power is currently slightly inferior to hers, she has amazing talents. She is already the youngest eighth-level legend in the empire. At the same level as herself, she has great hope of reaching a higher level, and even reaching a level only in mythology.

The 12th order appearing in is also possible.

Even if most of this power comes from that sword, it doesn't matter. The holy object is part of the extraordinary person's strength.

There is nothing wrong with trusting the judgment of a genius.

The three of them walked for another few dozen minutes before they saw the crooked old tree at the entrance of the village. A middle-aged man was sitting under the tree, with a sword beside him and a bottle of fruit wine in his hand, drinking alone.

He looked a little decadent.

"dad!"

Keli suddenly shouted, threw away Anya's hand, and ran over quickly.

So this is Keli’s father?

Anya couldn't help but observe carefully, and found that the other party's image and temperament were in line with her previous predictions.

The housekeeper was also secretly observing Rolle.

An ordinary, unremarkable village man.

However, when he saw Keli running towards him, his whole temperament suddenly shook, and he was rejuvenated with vitality. He quickly rushed over and took Keli into his arms.

"I'm back, I'm back..."

Luo Er hugged his daughter tightly, gently rubbed her little face with his unshaven chin, then picked up her petite body and spun her around in the air.

"Hehe, dad..."

Keli smiled sweetly, took the initiative to put her arms around Luo Er's neck, and kissed his face hard.

After spinning for a while, Luo Er put Keli down, hugged him next to her, and stretched out his hand to measure her head.

"Why haven't you grown any taller?"

After saying that, he pinched Keli's little face again and continued to ask:

"You haven't gained any weight at all?"

"Oh~ Daddy is bad, he won't be cute anymore when he gets fat!"

Kelly pretended to be angry, puffed out her cheeks, and tempted Rolle to poke her with her finger.

After poking twice, one to the left and one to the right, his cheeks deflated again, and a smile bloomed again on his little face.

Anya silently watched the interaction between father and daughter, sighed in her heart, and walked over silently.

Rohr seemed to have noticed that there were two guests at this moment. He first looked at Anya, nodded slightly, and then looked at the butler carrying the package next to him.

Too old, probably not...

Rohr withdrew his gaze.

Two muffled sounds of "bang bang" suddenly sounded, and the package on the butler's shoulder fell to the ground.

"Huh?"

"Uncle Butler, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Anya and Keli asked at the same time.

The butler's face turned a little pale, his standard smile froze, wisps of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he took a step back.

The moment Rohr looked at him, he felt that his consciousness and thinking suddenly froze.

His experience told him that this was an instinctive reaction before death. His body instinctively gave up resistance and waited for death.

Because any resistance is futile and useless.

This situation is only possible when facing an opponent with a huge gap.

As a legendary strong man, he has already stood at the upper level of the extraordinary level, and has vaguely touched the threshold of the saint. This is what he has accumulated bit by bit through countless battles, and the battle instinct he has honed is even more important to him.

A valuable capital to be proud of.

But just at that moment, his instinct surrendered faster than his thinking?

Obviously I didn't feel any crisis, and there was no fluctuation in the air, but why was there such a reaction?

Could it be...

Just because Miss Kelly's father looked at her?
