Chapter 9: Green plum bamboo horse (on)

"I understand." Ron nodded.
"I may leave Wolfe Manor in a few days. You have to take care of yourself." Patriarch Brian's voice softened unconsciously.
Ron froze for a moment: "Patriarch, where are you going?"
"Go to visit an old friend." Patriarch Brian said with a slight groan.
"Then, Patriarch, you have to be careful on your way." Ron whispered. He knew that Patriarch Brian did not want to tell him the details, so he naturally stopped asking.
Patriarch Brian nodded and patted Ron's shoulder, but said nothing, and turned away.
When the figure of Patriarch Brian disappeared completely, thinking of the coming adult ceremony, Ron couldn't help but think of some past events.
The full name of the girl is Caroline Tiger, her father Cruzen Tiger is the current head of the Tiger family, and the Tiger family is the richest family in the town of Relo.
Of course, the town of Rello is just a small town, and the richest family in Rello is not worth mentioning in the entire Red Fox Empire. Moreover, Cruzen is not a noble, and the Tiger family is just a civilian family. Therefore, although the Tiger family is the richest family in the town of Relo, it always seems to be inferior to the Wolf family who is a noble class.
But in fact, the Tiger family now has far greater strength than the Wolf family, and although the Tiger family is temporarily a civilian family, the general nobles dare not offend the Tiger family, because, Cruzen ’s The brother-in-law is the real figure of the imperial capital, Count Perucci.
And the younger generation of the Tiger family is also talented. Caroline ’s sister Karen, 17 years old this year, is already a third-level magician, only one step away from the intermediate magician, and Caroline ’s hall. Brother Ibis, who is also only seventeen years old, is a third-level martial artist. Their talent is enough to make the Wolf family envious.
Both Karen and Abbys attended the Royal Knights College, and it is foreseeable that even without the help of Count Perucci, the Tiger family would really be just around the corner.
Once, the Wolf family was the master of the town of Rello, but now, the Tiger family is the real owner of the town of Rello, and the Tiger family is not satisfied with this, they want to drive the Wolf family out of the town of Rello completely. At this time, the Wolf family was shocked. They have been committed to recreating the glory of the family and have always aimed at the distant imperial capital, but have not found that the most fundamental family foundation has been destroyed.
The Wolf family will naturally not give up its foundation, so in these years, the Wolf family and the Tiger family have fought violently in the town of Relo. Although the Tiger family is stronger, the Wolf family has the status of noble after all, and Patriarch Brian is also A hereditary earl, although the earl has no real power, but still makes the Tiger family have some scruples, and the means are not too fierce, but the Tiger family will always provoke the Wolf family from time to time.
However, although the Wolf family and the Tiger family are incompatible today, the relationship between the two families was quite good a decade ago, and even very close at one time. At that time, Ron and Caroline were A bond that brings these two family relationships closer together.
On a winter night sixteen years ago, Ron was born, and Caroline came to this world just a few minutes later than Ron. In such a small town, the chance of two people being born in the same month is not high. Born on the same day is a rare encounter, not to mention born at almost the same time, so naturally, Ron and Caroline are always easily mentioned by everyone.
And since she can walk, Caroline is like Ron ’s junior. Ron goes wherever she goes. From the age of three, Ron took Caroline to play around in the town of Rello. People make fun of them as a young couple. At that time, Ron and Caroline did n’t know what the couple meant. They only knew that the couple could be together all day, and Caroline liked to play with Ron every day, so she would Said to marry Ron in the future, and Ron also said to marry her.
At that time, Caroline ’s father Cruzen seemed to be happy to see Ron and Caroline together, and although the two families did not express their words, they seemed to have agreed to the marriage for the two of them. Everyone also thinks that Ron and Caroline will be together when they grow up.
Until they were six years old, Ron ’s parents never returned after they went to the Imperial Capital, and Cruzen ’s brother-in-law, Perucci, was named an Count by the Imperial Emperor, and became the emperor ’s lord.
The relationship between the two families gradually began to deteriorate until the point of incompatibility, and no one in the town of Rello dare to publicly say that Ron and Caroline are a small couple.
The disappearance of his parents made Ron sensible earlier than other boys. Since then, he has deliberately alienated Caroline, and Cruzen also ordered his daughter not to play with Ron.
However, Caroline, as always, secretly ran to Ron from time to time, no matter how cold Ron was to her, she didn't seem to care at all.
For ten years, Caroline and Ron maintained such a weird relationship, and although Ron felt upset every time he saw Caroline, if Caroline really did n’t come to him for a long time , He will have an empty feeling in his heart again.
After a moment, Ron finally woke up from the memories and looked at the ruins in front of him. He could not help but smile a bit bitterly, this place should be cleaned up.
It took Ron half a day to take care of the house. As for the half of the collapse, the Patriarch Brian planned to get him to rebuild him, but Ron decided not to waste their time, but with their help. The unbroken part will be repaired, and the masonry dust will be removed, so that in the end, it is only equivalent to the house being smaller than before, but the other aspects are not much different.
The next day, Ron got up early in the morning, and after breakfast he left Wolf Estate and walked out of town.
Walking about one kilometer south of the town, Ron came to the foot of a mountain, walked around the mountain to the other side, and began to look carefully.
"Found it!" After a moment, Ron's face showed a happy look, and some dead leaves and branches were pulled away, as well as some snow that had not yet melted. A narrow stone crack appeared in front of his eyes, and the stone crack could barely accommodate A person passed, even if Ron was thinner, he could only enter slowly against the stone wall.
After walking about a hundred meters, the stone crack gradually widened. Ron accelerated his pace and walked a few hundred meters further, and finally reached the end of the stone crack, and the front suddenly became bright.
This is an open and beautiful valley. Although it is winter, there are still a lot of greenery in the valley. The mountains are on all sides. The stone crack is the only way to come in. There is a very open space in the middle. In the corner of the valley, there is a water hole. The water hole has been steaming. Ron put his hand into the water hole. The water is still so warm as ten years ago.
This valley was discovered with Caroline when he was a kid. If Caroline did n’t tell anyone, then this place should still only be known to them. In the past ten years, Ron has been here in the future, and now he is back. This place has nothing to do with Caroline. He just wanted to find a suitable place to explore the ability of the armored beast. He didn't want the armored beast to crash his house again.
With a light press of the button on the bracelet, Ron instantly discovered that he had appeared in the armored beast. With his previous experience, he knew what to do first.
Sit on the chair first, and then let that metal strap tie around his waist, then he presses the start button on the console.
A soft roar sounded and Ron stretched his hand towards the control rod. He already knew that pushing this control rod would allow the armored beast to move, but once the armored beast moved, it was not so good to control. He hoped to pass more After training, gradually master the method of controlling armored beasts.
In fact, he hoped that the armored beast could tell him the control method, but he found that the armored beast would sometimes answer his question, but sometimes he would not answer. The armored beast will only answer, but the problem is that he does not know which mode of question will allow the armored beast to give him the answer. He feels that instead of expecting the armored beast to tell him, it is better to explore it slowly.
Ron inhaled slightly, his body tightened slightly, and then slowly pushed the control lever forward a little, the armored beast suddenly rushed forward, although it was much slower than last time, but still he was more than he thought Medium is faster.
Ron quickly pulled the lever back, and then he found the same problem as yesterday. When he pushed the lever, he did n’t need any effort, but when he wanted to pull the lever back, it became a lot harder. The only good news is that this time it was not as difficult as last time. Although almost all the strength he used was brought out, he finally pulled the lever back a little.
Just feeling that a huge force was driving him invisibly, Ron's body suddenly leaned forward and almost flew up. If he was not tied to a chair, he might have flew directly to the screen.
