Chapter 17: 【Late Night Guest】

If Mr. Qiu knew what kind of changes the so-called "seed" of power he gave to Roddy would bring to Roddy - and even the world, then he would definitely not do it!
Many years later, there is a saying in the world: A finger changes the world, and a seed makes an empire collapse.
Of course, the famous wise man Satsah did not know where to find a philosophical statement left by the sage of Dandong, which can better explain its meaning:
Lost a nail, broke a shoe;
Broken a shoe and broke a war horse;
He broke a war horse and wounded a knight;
Injured a knight and lost a message;
Lost a message, lost a battle;
Lost a battle, lost the entire battle;
Lost the entire battle and killed an empire.
This passage is very interesting-often a very small and insignificant thing that develops to the end, but can produce unexpected results!
That's the "seed" of power that Mr. Qiu gave to Roddy!
Roddy woke up a long time after accepting Mr. Qiu's finger. He doesn't quite understand the meaning of Mr. Qiu's point, but subconsciously, he understands that he seems to be a little different.
However, he couldn't tell where the difference was.
Nicole did not intend to let him contact outsiders. After meeting with Mr. Qiu, he was immediately taken to Nicole's small laboratory building.
"Starting from today, you will live here!" Nicole dropped a word and was about to leave.
"Wait... please wait a moment!" Seeing Nicole leaving again, Roddy summoned his courage and couldn't help shouting.
"Huh?" Nicole looked back and looked at the big boy.
Roddy slowly took off the mask on his face and sighed: "Miss Nicole...hmm...Master...hmm...I want to know, my face...why?"
Nicole looked at him indifferently, without speaking.
Roddy continued: "I know that this face is exactly the same as your brother's appearance. Why did you make me look like your brother?"
Nicole frowned: "When the time comes, you will naturally know! Now you only need to listen to me!"
"No..." Roddy said cautiously: "In fact, I can already guess a little bit..." At this point, Roddy hesitated for a while, and then gently probed more carefully: "You...you are Want me to pretend to be your brother...Is...Is it?"
Nicole's face changed slightly, and said lightly: "You know?"
"Of course..." Roddy curled his lips: "Just look at my face now, can't you guess it?"
Nicole sneered a few times and asked, "Aren't you satisfied? You know, my brother is a beautiful man with a famous emperor's name. This face now is a thousand times better than your original face!" "
Roddy shrugged, just said lightly: "Unfortunately, it's not my own!"
Nicole was stunned for a moment, she had never thought that Roddy could have such thoughts at a young age.
Nicole took a few steps closer, took a deep look at Roddy, and slowly said: "You know what, I want you to pretend to be my brother, it's a big favor for me! Since you guessed it, I won't hide it! We! You know what the identity of the family is! If this is done successfully! I will never treat you badly! Look... You can't go back to the academy anyway! I can send you to the army ! Then you can become an officer in the future! This is my compensation to you! Are you willing?"
army?
officer?
Roddy was stupid!
willing?
Of course I do! ! !
Who doesn't know the position of the Tulip family in the military? Their home is the home of the Imperial Marshal! If Nicole came forward to arrange for him to enter the military, then in the future, as long as Roddy is not too bad, a bright road will be in front of him! !
No matter how it counts, it is much better than staying in the capital and being an obscure warrior!
Even if you become a samurai, what can you do? Unless you become a top master-like Mr. Qiu! The imperial capital has more than hundreds of ordinary warriors? Most of the people who are better, just serve as guards and bodyguards for the nobles, and even worse, just fall to the streets and serve as thugs-just like the kind of thing Roddy and the others did last time!
There was light in Roddy's eyes!
Whose boy doesn't want to be able to stand out in the future? Especially the civilian-born people like Roddy?
Although Roddy didn't speak, the expression on his face was already revealed.
"So..." Roddy thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you! But... I have one more request! It's just a small request!"
"what?"
"That friend of mine..." Roddy said softly: "Miss Nicole...I know that one more groom and one less groom, it doesn't make any sense to your family at all, you...can let me go Is that friend of him? Just let him go back to the academy!"
Nicole smiled: "This is not a big deal, but I warn you, although I can agree to your requirements, you better be careful! The most important thing about this matter is to keep it secret! I pretend to be my brother, you I can’t tell anyone! If someone else knows, hum..." Although Nicole didn’t say what would happen, she just hummed twice, but Roddy closed his mouth immediately and didn’t dare to say another one. word.
God, she even conjured a pair of bunny ears for herself! God knows what else this woman can do!
"Okay! From today, you will play the role of my brother! From today, you will be Set! Because you still don't understand my brother's habits, I will come and train you every day! Keep it secret at home! No! Let others know who you are! I will declare to the public that because you ran away from the family privately, I was arrested and returned, and now you are locked here to reflect! This will prevent you from contacting outsiders!"
Roddy nodded: "Then I...may I read those books?"
Roddy pointed to the huge bookshelves around the room, the dense collection of classical books.
Nicole sighed secretly: Since childhood, his younger brother Set was locked here because of wrongdoing. I don’t know how many times, but the guy who didn’t know how to move forward always came in with his front foot, and he wondered how to escape. Wouldn't take a look at these books!
The boy in front of him, although a little stupid, is a young man who knows how to make progress!
It's a pity... If the heir of my tulip family is really like this, it would really save myself a lot of heart!
Nicole sighed and said: "Yes! You can't touch those things on the second floor! And the medicine in these bottles! But I have already put a magic ban on it, you can't touch it anyway!"
After speaking, Nicole waved her sleeves and turned to leave.
Seeing that Nicole was indeed gone, Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was a joyful look in his eyes, he cheered, and ran to the edge of the bookshelf, greedily looking at the huge bookshelf, his eyes were full of excitement!
This evening, Roddy did not rest at all. He excitedly hugged a high stack of books from the bookshelf, and then didn't bother to run to the edge of the table, so he simply sat cross-legged with the books in his hands.
In the evening, he simply moved the candlestick in the room to his side, sat next to a mountain of books, and just leaned against the bookshelf to read.
Frankly speaking, Roddy has never been so comfortable in his life! Although he likes reading books and the weird things in the world, it is a pity that he has not been able to meet his requirements in the Imperial Academy-you know, civilians are not allowed to enter the library with precious books-that is noble Patent!
Just as Roddy was immersed in the emotions of satisfaction and joy, he faintly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside.
As a warrior's vigilance, Roddy immediately became nervous. He jumped up from the ground and listened.
Sure enough, the gentle footsteps are getting closer and closer-Roddy can be sure that the person here deliberately stood on tiptoe and walked lightly!
Roddy ran behind the door and waited sideways.
For a moment, someone outside the door knocked gently, and then a delicate voice said timidly: "Master Set...you...are you here?"
Roddy froze for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The door was slowly opened, and a weak figure flashed in.
Roddy stared at the visitor, but was startled.
It was the beautiful little maid that I saw in the room during the day today! At this moment, she stepped into the door, her face was shy and nervous, and her face flushed even more. He dared not look directly at Roddy, but couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of his eyes.
"Master Dorset...I...I heard that you were locked up here again by the lady...So...I...I...give you...some...food...um...eat."
An Qi's voice trembled a little, and her face was flushed and almost bleeding. Shyly handed over a basket. Although Roddy didn't take a closer look at the contents, he already knew what was inside from the fragrance that came over his face.
An Qi looked at Roddy's handsome face, her eyes flickered, but she always showed a somewhat obsessive look inadvertently, her eyes fluttering, but they were always tied to Roddy's body.
