Chapter 174: Eve

Fran originally told Kane about his situation.
Kane thought for a while and said, "Fran, I think this is a very important battle for you and for the Carret family."
"How the power will be inherited will largely determine the attitude of others towards the heirs and the Carret family. This includes other pure-blood wizard families, ordinary wizards, and the British royal family and high-ranking dignitaries."
"A weak and incompetent Marquis Scarborough who won power by many compromises, he will definitely face more difficulties. And we all know that even a lion, if it really fights with the wolves , It will inevitably cause bruises and bruises, and even death from fighting. "
Fran's heart was awe-inspiring.
He thought to himself: "Yes, I am just paying attention to these things at home, and I haven't considered the dangers of the external environment. If you say these things at home are jackals, then the outside is surrounded by wolves."
The opinion agreed to let Fran open the conversation, and on this topic, he talked about some past things, like what was the best classmate with him when he went to school, after the old marquis died, he quarreled with his brother Ryan, etc. .
After Kane listened carefully, he concluded:
"Facts have proved that your relationship with Ryan is very good, and you have no intention of being trapped in the lord's affairs."
"Now come back to inherit, first because the Carret family lacks a good heir."
"Secondly, this power does have a great influence and cannot be taken lightly."
"In the end, it is the benefits brought by power. You are a person who has proven yourself in your field. You think more of the responsibility of power."
"And others, they may only have benefits in their eyes."
Fran felt that Kane had spoken in his heart.
"Indeed, the Marquis is in honor and honor, but it is also a hard work. I have hated social entertainment since I was a child, but I have to admit that privileges are very important. It is to ensure the advantages of magic and secular privileges in the world. The basis of competition among people. Now, I can't tolerate the division or destruction of the Carret family. "
Kane was about to see the fire, and encouraged: "Then, since the truth doesn't make sense, let's talk the truth."
Fran naturally understood what was the last word. Both Lincoln and Kennedy made a hard impression on him.
However, Kane said he didn't use the stunned goods that were too big and big.
"Arthur, turn your puppet out. The marquis need ceremonies and performers."
After Arthur, who was waiting outside the door, entered the house and waved his sleeves, several groups of distorted lights and shadows appeared after the end of the phantom shift, and then turned into eight people. The living room suddenly seemed crowded.
Fran looked over and saw all the warriors wearing leather armor, hoods and masks.
Two styles, one is more rugged, with heavy leather armor, metal armguards and shin guards, robes, cloaks, and large swords obliquely, with the handle underneath and a burly figure.
The other is very delicate, light leather armor, the armor is displayed in a form similar to fashion, the arm guards and shin guards are hollow metal, and there are many printed patterns on the leather surface, the sharp blades inserted in the pockets everywhere Only then will people feel the sharp side and realize that this is a uniform.
They have a foil sword with artistic hand guards on their waists. They have a long figure, flat shoulders and straight backs, and have excellent manners, like a royal swordsman who has been specially trained in etiquette.
Fran soon discovered what they had in common, with blue eyes and no life
"this is"
"Puppets made from the corpses of werewolves and vampires, at least they are not afraid of death spells. Feel a bit lame?"
"It's true, but it's more magical and looks very capable. It turns out that you have always brought your own guard."
"Habits, I have a lot of enemies on the New World side, and there are only hard truths there." Kane said to the puppet: "Salute to the Marquis, from now on you will protect the Marquis like you protect me."
The puppets bowed on one knee and saluted. They were called marquises. They did not feel the stiffness of puppet puppets at all, like living people.
"What a magical skill!" Fran sighed, curious and envious.
"I made friends with the wild wizards of the American tribes. They used this method to prepare dead warriors in the tribe. I was worried about provoking blasphemy and necromancer doubts. I switched to werewolves and vampires. These guys ran away with the tide of immigrants. Expanding business is not uncommon in the New World. "
"The New World is really full of danger."
"It's pretty wild, an adventurer's paradise." Kane added: "Alchemy and potions, and some magic, I believe that these can be further strengthened. These are not smart, but loyal enough, and easy to pack and carry. Let ’s talk about the technical aspects. I think you ’re not so good, and it ’s easy for those who have ulterior motives to have evil intentions.
Fran ’s rejoicing was overwhelming, and even the family members came out:
There are only some outdated activated armor and granite puppets in the family, which are very unsuitable, but some secret techniques, magic potions of blood berry formula, for all flesh and blood Have a good strengthening effect "
The two walked out while chatting. Fran had accepted Kane's suggestion and was ready to do it overnight, first to get the testament document.
The main building at night looked gloomy and quiet, the darkness engulfed all the light like living creatures, and the light of the magic lamp was greatly reduced.
It is said that after the night, the situation is even worse, its light will not shine farther than the light of a candle.
Fran hated this feeling of being shrouded in darkness, and he was still afraid of it until he became an adult. When he thought deeply, he felt cold all over.
But this time, he was full of security. The eight puppets all carried magic lanterns. This is the lighting equipment they carried. The light of the lanterns is different from the usual color. It is ice blue, very cold, but bright enough .
The light illuminates his surroundings into a bright place, and it feels good.
Of course, if Fran knew that the deepest darkness was beside him, it might not be so good.
A group of people crossed the room and came to the Weilou. It turned out that the gateway to the bridge was actually locked.
Kane said coldly: "Open."
Maria waved her hand, and the vampire beside her came out more, and approached the door.
After seeing a flash of light, the vampire was slowly retracting the sword.
The door bolt that combines iron and magic is destroyed.
This kind of door can't be unlocked by simply opening "Arahho Cave". You can encounter brute force demolition with the effect of breaking the law, and the subtlety loses its meaning.
Of course, forced demolition often encounters the power of anti-bite, but the tolerance of the dead is still very good.
The long bridge corridor leads to the fourth floor of the West Pavilion. The arched doorway below is the entrance of the building complex. There are gates with complicated shapes made of steel bars and side doors juxtaposed with them.
Therefore, this bridge corridor can also be understood as a gatehouse, which is an integral part of the gate and a magical facility.
In passing here, Kane noticed a small detail:
Magic door locks are all inward.
In other words, the locks are on the other side of the door, no matter from the west side or from the Weilou side.
There is no third way in this corridor.
This can't help but ask people: After closing the doors on both sides, did that person jump directly from the bridge corridor and walk away?
In this case, Kane finally did not say anything.
The first priority now is to gain power, and everything else is secondary.
Pamela's room is next to the bridge corridor.
As a servant's living area, the room layout was originally the same here. However, the former Marquis Ryan later specially found someone to carry out a three-in-one transformation of the Pan Mi La's room, so that the internal function and luxury are not worse than the best rooms in the main building, showing the love of this maidservant.
The guard stepped on the door and no one answered for a while.
Fran was hesitant, but Kane said: "The lord can't only have compassion." As he said, nodded to the guard.
So he went down again, opened the door lock, and broke into it.
It was time to go at midnight at this time, but the room was empty, people were not there, and the futon and bathroom had not been used recently.
Fran hesitated again.
Kane suggested: "Try using the flying mantra. If Ryan does establish you as heir, then the will document belongs to you."
Fran thought it made sense, so he used flying charms in the room.
As a result, a drawer in the desk made a noise, but because of the lock, things couldn't fly out.
"Check it, so that if you take something that will destroy the document authority."
Fran nodded, and went up to check in person, and finally confirmed that there was no problem, and opened the drawer with the Arah hole.
Just about to probe the hand to take the document inside, but Cain stopped.
Kane motioned to Maria, and Maria stepped forward to put a drop of her blood on the paperwork.
The blood spread quickly and made a sneering noise, rising a stench.
Kane said lightly: "Detoxifying items is better than detoxifying people. Of course, maybe it is just a normal precautionary method used for documents."
Fran smiled reluctantly and said: "If it weren't for the old and capable Ted, I'm afraid this time I would have to suffer a lot."
He didn't want to go to the housekeeper's room at midnight if he didn't have Kane.
The will was written on fine parchment paper, and the color was set a long time ago.
There is nothing wrong with it. After the will is made, the big family often does this. It's just that its storage location is always confidential.
Found in the housekeeper's room, although it was barely understandable, it always felt a bit strange.
In addition to the will, there was a letter from Ryan to Fran, who could not help crying a few tears after reading it.
From Kane's point of view, Fran has such a womanish temperament, her ears are soft and sensual, and she does things a little bit more than mother-in-law. It is easier to trust and distrust a person.
Now Fran is undoubtedly in trust, and Ryan's letter is willing to share with him.
Kane was naturally uninterested in the dog blood of brotherhood in the letter. His final interpretation of the letter was: the death of the old marquis and the accidental death of his wife made Ryan feel life and death very frightened. This is devoted to studying the technique of longevity.
Ryan's research direction is to deepen on the basis of the existing potion formula based on the blood berry. To this end he went to meet Nicolas Flamel.
Although the letter did not mention the results of Flammel, the wording in the latter part shows that the visit should have failed, or at least failed to meet Ryan's expectations.
Then came to another key stage, Ryan self-seeking ways to continue research.
Ryan wrote this letter, it should be self-proclaimed soon, he advised Fran, in the event of an accident, do not investigate further, the Carret family can not afford more losses.
It can be seen that Ryan's subsequent research should be taboo. When he finds that the situation is not good, he is already deeply engulfed.
An interesting thing happened, Ryan was murdered and died of poisoning.
Was it stolen with results? Or was it to stop him from continuing his research? Or for other reasons, the murder and suicide note are just coincidences?
"Is it Ryan's handwriting?"
"Yes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We communicate frequently, he is left-handed, and his writing is very characteristic, and he will not admit mistakes."
Kane frowned slightly, and another lefty. Fran was left-handed.
The last left-hander he knew was the new Secretary-General of the International Federation of Magic, Serafina Piqueri (the president of the American Magic Congress where magical animals are).
It is said that left-handed spellcasting is associated with black magic or black magic.
Black magic is a very broad name, and weird evil is its characteristic. From this perspective, it is understood that the voodoo in Africa, the head of South Asia, even the shaman and black druid's magical techniques with primitive casting features are all black magic. . Even the Eastern Maoshan Taoist technique counts in the eyes of wizards.
Kane, who has this kind of cognition, naturally has no prejudice to black magic. After all, he is a dark contractor himself, and he will not listen to the wind and rain like ordinary people.
But having said that, the whole family is left-handed, is there really no problem here?
