The sun shone through the trees and laid down on the smooth road, and the light and shadow of the spots were accompanied by the breeze. A dark horse-drawn carriage was running on the road, and the young man sitting in it was frowning. He leaned against the window, watching the blurry castle silhouette in the forest, with a flash on his face. Cold and heavy breath.
As one of the most outstanding figures in the younger generation of the Byrd family, Viscount Juventus has always been known for being cautious and careful. Although he is not a member of his family, he still got the official title by his own efforts. In fact, his father even complained several times after drinking, if he is not the patriarch of the family, then the first heir of the Byrd family must belong to Juve!
Juve himself was not as obsessed with this identity as his father had imagined. In fact, he was glad that the identity of the first heir did not fall on himself, but on Pelzen. As a member of a large family, Juventus knows clearly what the identity of the first heir means, it is definitely not something that he can easily handle. For him, the most important thing in life is stability first, as for expectations and goals- —If you can’t even survive, then you don’t need to talk about the next thing.
It is precisely because of his "dilute and stable" attitude to life that Juve is deeply appreciated by the old patriarchs. True, soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, but if every soldier wants to be a general, it will be more troublesome. . Especially in such a big family, history, traditions, regulations, etc. have already been formed. One of the characteristics of the big family is that the authority does not allow challenges. If every noble child wants to be in that unique position, So the whole family is not messed up yet?
Closing his eyes, the young Viscount stopped looking at the castle in front of him. He rubbed his brow and began to think about it carefully.
At the beginning, Juventus didn't think it was a simple matter. Although he stayed with the patriarch for less than five years, he was very confident in his ability and evaluation. The old patriarch has always valued himself, and has given himself some very important things to do. Now, he will actually be sent to investigate a late generation who has been granted the aristocracy by their own people?
When he learned about this task, Juventus felt that the whole thing was full of strange atmosphere, not to mention, as an assistant to the old patriarch, he also knew Peelzen's plan this time. After his failure to return, the old patriarch not only did not send himself to maintain and stabilize the internal voice of the family, but suddenly sent him to the Twilight Forest territory, and then contacted Pelzen just returned from the Twilight Forest, you can draw a conclusion .
Of course, before leaving, Juventus also got detailed information about the new lord-Felix, a nobleman, this is not a big problem. Juventus also saw the exchange of territory. No one is willing to use a rich manor in exchange for this barren forest known as a ferocious curse and danger. Then the matter is very simple. His own family used the unique means between the nobles to obtain the other party's land and exile him here. Juvenile's fierce name in the Twilight Castle is naturally well known. In fact, many people in the Bird family know the story of the castle, and there is even a family member who died in a fatal life there. I don't believe this kind of story very much, but he also felt a little nervous and uneasy.
Juve was not very confident about this task. He knew very well that he was sent to investigate the details of the young man named Yulian Felix. According to the old patriarch, he seemed to have some sort of direct connection with Pelzen’s failure in the Twilight Forest or Indirect relationship. In other words... Since there is really no suspicious object, he focused his attention on this person.
Before leaving, Juventus had also considered this issue. In his view, there are only two possibilities. One is that the young lord really has nothing to do with Pelzen, nor does he have this ability. All this It's just speculation. The second is that this young lord is a very scheming and very dangerous character. Since the other party can allow Pelzen and the Pale Eagle to suffer a loss, then I am afraid that they will not get any benefit.
At this moment, after seeing the scene in front of him, Juventus' heart began to sink slowly. He has noticed that the second possibility is getting bigger and bigger.
From this straight and smooth road of repair, we can see that this lord is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, at least he is not the lazy aristocrat who has eaten and waited for death. As a member of the Bird family, Juventus knew that repairing the road was not an easy task. Of course, although it is not difficult for the nobility, who can imagine a deceived nobleman who has been deceived by the nobility and has lost his land, only to rely on his family’s poor reputation to survive, will care so much about his territory ? If he is walking on a tortuous road at the moment and sees a dilapidated town, Juventus can rest assured, but now, he is no longer so relieved.
Looking at this path, it costs money, and according to intelligence sources, this lord does not have much money, how could he be willing to spend it?
Looking at this small town again, Juventus had come here once by chance, and at that time, in his impression, it was a place that was isolated from the world and hardly changed. But now? Looking at the demolished houses and the workers who were busy cleaning the air and drains, Juventus frowned involuntarily. This was definitely not done to welcome his arrival. This lord, it is very likely that he really intends to do a career here!
But did he not hear the reputation of this castle?
Thinking of this, Juventus could not help but opened the curtains again, looking at the castle not far away. Those dead people are not legends. Even if this lord is lord, who knows if he can survive this period of time? Maybe, by this time next year, he had already turned into a cold body.
Is this a young frenzy unique to young people, or...
"Thomson, what do you think?"
Juventus turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, who was the man who had been to Twilight Castle ten days ago, and was also a follower of Viscount Juventus.
"What do you think of the Lord Lord?"
Faced with his master's inquiry, Thomson's serious, stereotyped face twitched slightly, and then he frowned and recalled a moment carefully before speaking.
"I don't know, master."
"do not know?"
Juventus repeated his words with some doubt. He is familiar with Thomson. He has been working with him for many years. Although the judgments he made are not necessarily profound, he has considerable credibility, and he also has his own. A set of methods to observe others, but now, how can he say that he does not know? You know, the other party is also a young noble in his early twenties?
"Is he a dumb person who is not easy to associate with?"
"This one……………"
Thomson shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Not so, Master. Lord Lord Felix's attitude is very friendly, and it looks quite decent, and there is nothing strange about it."
"So........."
Juventus frowned involuntarily, didn't you already sum up his characteristics? How can I say I don’t know?
"Maybe I am older, so some aspects are more sensitive..."
Realizing the doubts of his master, Tom continued to explain with a wry smile.
"I don't know why, I always feel that the Lord Lord's smile still hides other things, perhaps because of this cursed castle, I always feel that Lord Lord and the young people I have seen before The nobility is completely different. Indeed, he showed me a very friendly and friendly side, but, master, I always feel that for a young noble living alone in this strange castle, he seems to be too indifferent. Some more."
"Too indifferent?"
Juventus quickly grasped the central issue in his followers' speech.
"what do you mean……………"
"This... I don't know what to say."
It's strange to say that Thomson, who has always been able to express his opinions accurately, was a little hesitant this time, and in the end, he shook his head after thinking for a moment.
"I'm very sorry, Master, I don't know much about this Lord Lord."
"Anyway, we will see him soon."
Juventus nodded, instead of paying attention to the weird expression on his follower's face, but focused on the huge castle that was getting closer and closer to him.
"I think we can complete this task soon."
Hearing his master's words, Thomson opened his mouth, and in the end he still didn't say that weird feeling. When he walked into the castle and saw Yulian, the experienced attendant had a rather weird feeling. It was as if the castle had merged with the smiling young nobleman, as if he were a giant monster he had reared, overlooking and observing his every move. That feeling makes people shudder. However, now that I think about it, it seems to be just a nightmare, as if it was only an illusion of myself, but just a continuation of a nightmare.
A huge, dark shadow enveloped the carriage's body. When the carriage turned the ramp on the corner again, the Twilight Castle finally appeared in front of Juventus.
At the moment when he saw the castle, Juventus only felt that his heart was squeezed hard. It was not the first time he saw this castle. Fifteen years ago, he was still young and full of energy. The child, sneaking out of the house with his friends, came here to see what the extremely dangerous and terrible castle described by the large population at that time looked like, but at that time, there was no one Dare to get close to this castle, even if they are, they just look at it from afar. The black shadow that stood on the of the hill, like a beast that ate others, left a deep impression on Juventus.
And now, after close contact with the castle, Juventus seems to have returned to fifteen years ago. He seems to be no longer the calm, calm family viscount, but a little boy, with fear, uneasiness and daze. Gaze at this terrible and huge building. It has experienced so many years, so many wind and rain, but it still stands here at the moment.
Just thinking about the incident itself is enough to make Juve feel a little uncomfortable. If he used to think that the curse of the castle was just a coincidence, then now, he really believes that terrible rumor. .
"Master, we are here."
When Thomson's voice rang from his ears, Juventus regained his spirit. He looked up and looked out the window. At the gate, the young nobleman was standing there, waiting with a kind, elegant smile. Your own arrival.
I don’t know why, at this moment, Juventus felt that the castle seemed to be alive in an instant, as if it was no longer just a building, but a terrible beast, under the leadership of its owner, Look at the guests in front of you-or the food.
It's ridiculous.
Juventus shook his head vigorously to get rid of this uneasy feeling, then he opened the door and walked off the carriage.
PS: After filming the heart B ultrasound, myocardial enzymes and chest X-ray, the doctor finally confirmed... pneumonia, actually pneumonia? =V=
How can I get pneumonia!?......... But now it can only be so. The doctor did not suggest me to give an injection, but gave me a bunch of medicines to take home and take it. To be honest, the Chinese medicine is really bitter.........Today, I will resume the update tomorrow, I think it should be It can recover two more tomorrow, and the medicine is still effective.
