Demon Hunter and His Hut
Chapter 720: Sister
The night rain was majestic, and lightning pierced the night sky.
On the dark and winding mountain road, a fine horse gallops in the rain.
click.
The lightning flashed across, almost splitting the entire sky, and instantly illuminated everything around it like daytime.
The rain slashed across the knight's face, wetting the leather armor on his body, revealing half of his pale face.
The road at night was rough, but the horse galloped in the dark without any influence. The roar of thunder and the rain intensified, and it was not until a long time later that the galloping knight slowly slowed down.
At the end of his line of sight, an ancient castle towered in the darkness, and the interlaced lightning made the distant castle look like a beast hidden in the darkness.
Before approaching, the gate of the castle opened automatically, and the knight dismounted from his horse, shaking off the rainwater on his body.
"It's getting late, Miss Chloe."
An old face appeared in the shadows under the eaves. Even in the middle of the night, the black dress on the old man was neatly dressed, and there was no wrinkle on it.
His eyes were steady, his voice was not loud but directly penetrated Ye Yu and fell into the ears of the visitors.
Lifting the hood on her head and shaking her wet hair, Chloe looked tired and weak, but her eyes remained firm.
"I'll submit the task!"
"Please follow me." The old man's eyes flickered, as if he was about to say something, but he moved his gaze down, noticed the mottled mark on Chloe's leather armor, and there was a faint blood color, so he retracted his gaze and nodded. The figure disappeared into the darkness.
The main door was opened, and the yellowish light seemed to possess a warming power in the darkness. Chloe fastened the reins, took a package from the horse, and walked quickly into the main hall.
The old man who spoke just now was already waiting in the hall. Croy walked quickly in front of him and put the package in his hand on the table.
"I have completed the Earl's No. 3 secret order, this is evidence, now I should get the reward I deserve?"
Put things away, Chloe said impatiently.
The old man put down the quill pen in his hand and slowly opened Chloe's package, then his eyes narrowed slightly,
"Did you complete this task alone?"
"Is there a problem?" Chloe asked back.
"No, but in order to complete it, the price you paid may have exceeded the income of this mission."
The old man lightly took the received package off the table, "The mission is valid, you can choose one of the rewards..."
"Spirit Summoning Potion!"
Chloe said without hesitation.
"Please wait."
The old man didn't seem surprised, he wrote down something, and then nodded to Chloe.
"Dear Chloe..."
At this moment, a slightly exaggerated voice came, and Chloe frowned subconsciously. She still maintained the previous action, and she was not even interested in looking up.
The interior decoration of the castle is simple, not full of luxurious and exaggerated decorations like other nobles. The most conspicuous thing on the entire first floor is the long table placed directly opposite the door.
Behind the side of the table is the stairs leading to the second floor. At this time, a sleepy man leaned on the handrail and said casually.
"Mr. Doron, I hope to get my reward immediately." Chloe urged.
"Mr. Doron."
The man on the side of the stairs said, "In the Earl's Land, according to the rules, medicines above the precious level cannot be guaranteed to be in stock. It should be allowed for a day or two at night."
Chloe pursed her lips slightly. She raised her head and glanced at the old man in front of her. She seemed to understand something from his eyes. The next moment she turned around and walked out the door.
"Miss Chloe, I think you know better than me how long it will take to get to the nearest town from here. There is still a long time before dawn. Are you sure you want to hurry in the night rain while your body is injured?"
The man chuckled.
"Our souls are strong, but our bodies are still fragile."
As if not hearing his words, Chloe continued to walk forward.
"I heard your brother..."
Snapped.
Chloe stopped abruptly. Although she didn't turn her head, anyone could feel the force of her slender body.
"He was just being confused for a moment, so he was taken advantage of to set a trap. He is still loyal to the royal family."
"But I heard that he got very close to some people."
Chloe turned around slowly, her tense expression seemed to ease, "He paid almost the price of his life for his negligence, I think this is enough to prove everything."
"Mr Harville."
The man named Javier smiled, and walked down the stairs slowly, "Why do the two of us have to be so tense every time we meet?"
"If you are willing to accept my love, then I don't think the Anglo family will fall into the current situation..."
"Even the last dignity of a nobleman can't be maintained."
"Dignity is never given by others."
Croy just replied firmly, and stopped talking.
"Be sober, Miss Chloe, it is really impossible for your younger brother to revitalize the Anglo family. Even if he can barely wake up, this level of soul mutation cannot be inherited."
"so……"
Javier spread his hands.
"That's my business."
Chloe replied calmly, before turning around and leaving.
"Wait a minute."
A blue light flashed, and Chloe raised her hand subconsciously. The place where she started was icy cold, and there was azure blue liquid in the transparent container.
"Your potion."
"Another piece of news for you."
"The situation on the border is escalating, and the kingdom is now employing people. If you can make enough credit for the next action."
"Not only will there be help in the promotion of power, but there may even be an exception to confer new nobles, including women!"
Chloe's eyes lit up slightly, "What are the specific tasks?"
"Don't worry, detailed regulations will be promulgated in a short time. If you want to revitalize your family, this is a good opportunity not to be missed."
"Thanks!"
Squeezing out a thank you bluntly, Chloe put away the potion, put on the hood, and walked into the night rain. The sound of horseshoes sounded, and soon disappeared.
"Master..."
"I know what you're going to say."
Javier shrugged nonchalantly.
"I like a challenging fight, and so do women."
"The conditions are good, but once you join, you won't be as free as you are now. At that time, I have many ways to make her submit."
"Also remember to clean up those tails, I don't want Chloe to see the clues from his idiot brother's accident."
"What an idiot. As a nobleman, even a declining nobleman would believe those extreme remarks and heresies, and dare to try it without experimenting."
"It's lucky that he didn't die from a broken soul this time, but... if Chloe gave his brother the spirit-calling potion."
"Hehe, seeing her brother's head explode with her own eyes, she must be very desperate and guilty."
The night is getting darker, and the heavy rain outside the door seems to be falling to the end of the world.
…………
Boom boom boom.
"Roger... sir, Mr. Joseph's carriage has arrived, and he is also accompanying him."
Emily said softly.
For some reason, even through a door, she would subconsciously feel chills in her heart, as if there was some terrible monster hidden behind the door.
Henrik... No, it should be Roger. Although it is not clear why he suddenly changed his name, the special experience of hovering between life and death may really change a person.
"Maybe start over with a name." Emily thought silently.
"Let him wait for me in the living room."
In the room, Roger opened his eyes. His bare upper body was covered with complex patterns. Those black dyes seemed to seep into the skin, and with his voice, the colors slowly disappeared.
He got dressed and walked through the corridor to the first floor.
In the living room, Joseph leaned on the sofa and stretched regardless of his image. When he saw Roger, he chuckled, "Hey, your complexion looks great. I bet no one would believe that you recovered so quickly."
"According to your request, I sent some new things. To be honest, those things are hard to find. I entrusted a lot of relationships and spent a lot..."
"What you want."
Roger threw a bottle casually, Joseph's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly hugged it in his arms.
"God, what if I break it?"
Joseph made a look of fear.
There is almost clear liquid in the transparent test tube as thick as a finger. Through the sunlight, the liquid inside shows a faint colorful luster.
"So fast?"
Joseph obviously didn't expect to get the finished medicine when he came for the second time. He stared at the medicine in his hand intently, and only raised his head to ask after a long time.
"What is this thing for?"
"Don't you know if you try it?"
Roger sat across from Joseph, turned over the empty cup in front of him, and poured black tea into it.
"There is a scale marked on it, take it in moderation according to your own needs, but while taking it, it's best to prepare a suitable female companion...uh...or a male companion."
"How can I use this thing?"
Joseph waved his hand, but swiftly put away the test tube in his hand.
"To be honest, besides delivering a batch of supplies, the most important thing I came here this time is to check on your physical condition."
Joseph looked enthusiastic, "I haven't seen you for a few days, your body is recovering well, so you should be able to go out to the banquet together."
"banquet?"
"Not interested." Roger waved his hand. The original owner of the body might be addicted to this kind of activity because he was young and energetic.
High society is relatively erosive and open in these respects.
As long as they meet a certain age, there will be many private parties. As for the theme of the banquet, no matter how high the external publicity is, it is very likely to lead to a situation in the end.
There are exceptions, but not many.
After all, there are too few ways to entertain in this world.
"It's not what you think." Joseph immediately understood Roger's thoughts, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is only barely recovering. Am I still a human being when I take you to that kind of banquet?"
"hehe."
Roger sneered.
"It's not a formal banquet, it's a wild outing. The person who initiated this event was Biska of Greensburg. Her father is a baron, and her title is already in jeopardy."
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that her brother made contributions to the border turmoil not long ago. Although he lost one eye and lost a hand, at least he kept the noble inheritance, and was even given a large piece of money. land."
"Border turmoil? You mean the conflict with the Federation?" Roger said suddenly.
"Which one else could it be?"
"Physically disabled, her brother couldn't adapt to the next battle, so he was sent back to the territory after dealing with the injuries on his body."
Joseph replied casually, "He should be recuperating in the Green Castle now."
Hearing this news, Roger's heart moved.
"When is this outing?"
"Just the day after tomorrow, you can go with me in my carriage."
"Of course, there is another premise."
Joseph shrank his neck, "You need Chloe's consent, I don't want to be kicked by her again."
It was beyond Joseph's expectations. In the past, when he mentioned his sister Chloe in front of his friends, he always saw the other party showing a look of daring to speak out.
But one time, the thin young man sitting opposite him had a calm face, and it was impossible to tell any thoughts from his expression alone.
"A sudden accident can change a person so much?"
Joseph didn't think much about it, he touched the reagent in his pocket, and his heart was full of enthusiasm.
At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the manor.
Joseph looked out through the window, and a slender figure rode a vigorous horse into the manor.
"Miss Chloe."
The expression on his face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, "As a friend, I will come to visit you during your illness..." He silently cheered himself up.
But the voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that Joseph had suffered a lot under Croy.
Roger didn't get up. The original owner of the body and his sister were not particularly close in memory.
"You look great!"
Chloe strode towards Roger, ignoring Joseph standing aside, stepped forward and gave Roger a big hug.
There was a soft touch on the side of the face, and this hug lasted for a long time, and Roger even suspected that if he didn't need to breathe now, he would definitely fall into the tenderness of Chloe's chest and cause suffocation.
"Ahem, good afternoon, Miss Chloe."
Joseph greeted him awkwardly, but the woman in front of him obviously ignored his existence and looked at his younger brother dotingly.
"I've prepared some medicines and nutritional supplements for you, and I'll give you instructions when the time comes. Remember to take them on time every day."
"Also... After you have fully recovered your body this time, don't mess around like before."
Roger lowered his head and lowered his eyes, letting Chloe's palm pass across his face.
"I'll go out for a while, and you have to learn to take care of yourself from now on."
He talked a lot about everything in detail, and finally exhorted.
"You want to leave, where are you going?"
Roger asked subconsciously.
"Hmm... the frontier."
Chloe answered casually. Hearing her answer, Roger's face didn't change at all, but something strange flashed in his heart.
It's the frontier again.
