Law of the Devil

Chapter 120: Discordant Earl's Court

Views:

Leaving the earl's study, although I had a lot of feelings in my heart, the process of meeting my father this time also carried some inner weirdness. But when he went to see the countess, Du Wei suppressed all these thoughts in his heart, pulled himself together, and went to see his mother with warmth and a smile on his face.

Speaking of Du Wei's feelings for the Luo Lin family, there are actually some special and complicated feelings.

He came to this world inexplicably. He was originally a mature young man, but he was entrusted to this baby. At the beginning, he naturally had his own parents in his previous life. Although he came here, he really couldn't regard the countess as his own mother.

This kind of psychology is also very normal. Just imagine, for any young man, if you want you to suddenly forget your biological parents and recognize another irrelevant person as your parents, it is of course unacceptable in your heart.

But as he grew up in the Earl's Mansion, especially the beautiful and kind Countess, the serious illness that almost killed Du Wei when he was young, the Countess knelt in the temple all night to pray, and took care of him around the clock, and everyone was almost tired. collapsed. Du Wei was gradually moved by his "mother". After that, he gradually became more intimate with the countess.

From childhood to adulthood, after the age of three, Du Wei deliberately acted low-key, deliberately evaded responsibility, pretended to be untalented, and was even ridiculed as an idiot. Even his own father didn't like him. But the countess still loves her son very much, and comes to Du Wei's room quietly every night. Talk to this poor son of mine, even sing to lull him to sleep... every day, a little bit. Bit by bit of effort, no matter how much Du Wei resisted the world in his heart, he was gradually melted by this mother's loving heart.

It can be said that Du Wei really doesn't have much affection for the Earl, the "father". But for the countess, after more than ten years, she really developed a bit of filial piety. Gradually, I slowly accepted the identity of "mother".

After leaving home for a year, Du Wei returned to the inner house. From a distance, she saw the Countess in a purple robe, standing in front of the door, looking at Du Wei and smiling quietly. With long hair and soft hair, Du Wei couldn't help being in a trance at this moment, as if recalling when he was young, the mother hugged him in the middle of the night and sang to lull him to sleep. sleep with hair...

That supple and smooth feeling ah.

The countess still looked as beautiful as ever, with a gentle smile in her eyes. Although the years have left some traces on her face, the eyes that were crying silently while holding her sickly son on a rainy night were still so radiant and moving.

Du Wei was really moved at this moment, and walked over at a faster pace. Then she knelt down on one knee, knelt down in front of the countess, held her mother's hand with both hands, and said softly, "I'm back... my lord mother!"

The mother's yell was so natural, it was much smoother than calling the earl's father in the study just now.

With tears in her eyes, the countess slowly helped her eldest son up, then hugged her gently, and said in a low voice, "I will never let him drive you away again when I come back this time." Already!"

The voice is not loud, but with unshakable determination!

Du Wei accompanied the Countess into the room. Sit down and talk for a while. The countess looked at her son who had been away from home for a year, and remembered that Du Wei was weak and sick when he was young, and he was not liked by her husband when he grew up. Shengsheng has suffered a lot of cold reception and supercilious looks, and I am afraid that I am the only one in my family who really loves this son. But she was cruelly driven back to her hometown by her husband.

For a while, she felt distressed, and asked Du Wei carefully about his hometown in Luolin Plain. Although the Countess knew that the castle in Luo Lin Plain had everything in her hometown, and although her son fell out of favor, after all, as a young master, he would definitely not suffer. But being a mother in this world is all about one thing. The son is not around, always worried about his food and clothing.

Du Wei was moved. He cheered up and answered one by one, and racked his brains to say some interesting things on the Luolin Plain, finally getting rid of the last haze from the Countess' brow.

The mother and son talked happily, but almost passed the time for lunch. Seeing that noon had passed, Du Wei himself was fine, but worried that the Countess was starving, so he touched his stomach on purpose, and said with a smile, "Mother, I went out early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet."

The countess realized it now, and quickly smiled and said, "I forgot... oh, I haven't seen you for a year, and I was only focused on talking to you, but... I'll ask the servant to bring me something to eat."

Du Wei said with a smile: "No rush, let me arrange the lunch meal. When I was in my hometown, I figured out a new way to eat it. It was very interesting."

After finishing speaking, Du Wei had someone call Made, and asked Made to go down and find a few metal shelves and charcoal from among the goods he had brought in the carriage. Then I asked the kitchen to send a few plates of raw beef and mutton and offal, as well as some fresh vegetables.

Then Du Wei pulled the Countess out of the room, and asked Made to get a barbecue grill according to his instructions in the yard. Du Wei sliced the food from the kitchen into thin slices, put them on the fork, and lit the fire. , and took out the barbecue seasoning that I personally prepared in Luo Lin's old home, and grilled it carefully.

In his previous life, he was a bachelor. He lived alone, and he ate by himself, and his cooking skills were really good. After arriving in this world, someone waits for him. Although he is a lot lazy, he was tired of eating the delicacies of this world when he lived his first life in the Luolin Plain, and he fiddled with some past life eating methods when he was free. Although the ingredients and condiments are different, authentic Chinese food cannot be produced, but simple barbecue is still no problem.

This roast lamb is the most tender part of the selected calf loin. The seasoning in a small bottle that Du Wei took out was Du Wei's search for plants in this world for a long time, and the taste he found was very similar to the "cumin" in his previous life. And after careful testing, it is a kind of food, which is ground into powder and made with some special condiments.

At this moment, while turning the roasting fork, sprinkle these powders evenly on the mutton, and cut incisions on several parts of the mutton, so that the heat can spread evenly, and within a short while, the aroma will overflow.

After Du Wei finished roasting a piece of meat, he handed it to his mother with both hands, and said with a smile, "Mom, try it, it tastes different from others!"

The countess is a woman, so she eats less meat on weekdays, but after a year of separation, the beloved son reunites, how can he refuse his son's kindness? Seeing that there was still some black ash on Du Wei's face from the barbecue, tears almost flowed out of his eyes. He took it and took a bite. It was really delicious and tender. Under the gaze of his son, he actually ate all the pieces of mutton pierced on a whole roasting fork. The food intake is much larger than usual.

Seeing that his mother was happy, Du Wei kept grilling again. The countess was in a good mood, and even the maid who took care of the surroundings and helped her help also came up and ordered to bring some good wine. At this open-air barbecue party, there was a lot of laughter for a while, and even a few maids at the side were given a few pieces of things that the young master baked with his own hands.

I spent half a day with my mother. Seeing that the countess was radiant and looking good, Du Wei saw that the sky was getting dark, and said with a smile: "I couldn't make it to my mother's birthday last time, but you must like the fireworks brought by Madeleine." .I brought a lot more this time. When it gets dark, I'll show it to you!"

The countess smiled softly, and said, "No need... just keep it for now, it will be the summer festival in a few days. Wait until that night to play it, and it will be more lively."

Du Wei talked with his mother for a while, and when it was dark, he returned to the room, and suddenly smiled again: "I haven't seen my brother all day, where is Gabriel? It can't be a mistake, Are you locked in the room by your father?"

Speaking of her younger brother, the Countess couldn't help but sigh: "Your younger brother went out early this morning, and I'm afraid he won't be back until very late... Sigh. Your father has high expectations for him, so it doesn't matter if Alpha teaches him martial arts on weekdays. I went to invite Mr. Lan Hai, the most famous university student in the imperial capital, and asked him to accept your brother as a disciple. It's just that Mr. Lan Hai has a different status, but it is impossible to come to be a teacher, so your brother will go to Mr. Lan Hai every two days. I went to study at my home. Today is the first day. It is said that Mr. Lan Hai will conduct an assessment on him. I am afraid he will not come back so early... "

Du Wei couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

It's really a world of difference!

Gabriel has been extremely smart since he was a child, and his father really spared no expense in nurturing him!

Mr. Lan Hai, Du Wei has also heard of his reputation, is the leading scholar in the imperial capital. His status is far higher than that of the first teacher and scholar I invited when I was young! It was even heard that several children of the royal family would not invite him.

In the evening, Du Wei went back to his original place in the Earl's Mansion. This is a very secluded place in the earl's mansion. Du Wei was not favored since he was a child, and this place is far away from the residence of the earl and his wife. Presumably, the earl is not willing to see this disappointing son more.

The yard was quiet, and there were not many servants around. After Du Wei came back, he saw that the yard was not dilapidated at all, not even a single weed had grown. Presumably, it was because his mother still asked people to clean the yard every day when he was away.

The things I left in the room have never been moved, and even the book I left behind when I left last year is still in the original place. The table is bright, and there is not a trace of dust.

Made had already moved all his belongings into the room according to Du Wei's instructions. Du Wei ordered the servants not to come in to disturb him, and closed all the gates of the yard. Then he arranged a silent magic around the room, and then closed the door.

Du Wei first arranged his clothes in front of the mirror, and then untied the tied hair on his head. He couldn't help but sigh... This corner of his head is really troublesome. When I was with my mother today, when I was emotional, I couldn't help but reach out and stroke the top of Du Wei's head. Fortunately, Du Wei was clever and found something wrong. Calmly avoided. It's not convenient to keep this corner after all... You have to find a way.

Afterwards, Du Wei opened a large specially-made box among the belongings sent by Made. Just opened it. There was a complaint from QQ inside: My God, you are finally here! Such a whole day has made me bored! "

After finishing speaking, the penguin jumped out by itself and stood on top of it, stretching its short and funny body. And the mouse Gargamel also jumped out, gasping for breath, and looked at Du Wei dissatisfiedly: "I said, can you give us another recipe? Staying in this small box all day is boring to death!"

"Is it boring?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Didn't there be a few vent holes?"

Gargamel was furious: "You really treat me like a pet! Don't forget, Lord Gargamel is a majestic magician! Locked in this box by you... I... don't you know. After a whole day, Even if you left us something to eat in it... But I have to go to the toilet!"

After speaking, Gargamel had already looked around, and then ran away towards the toilet.

QQ shook his hands and feet comfortably, but ignored Du Wei. Instead, he jumped in front of the mirror, took a good look at it for a long time, and then tidied up some messy feathers on his body. Then he heaved a sigh of relief and sighed. : "Meter! Meter! You must never lock me up with this mouse in the future! My beautiful feathers are stained with gray gopher hair. It's so ugly!"

Du Wei glanced at the "divine beast" left by Aragorn, and sneered, "Is it ugly? Although it is a mouse, it still has magic and can teach me a lot of magic knowledge. What about you? Besides talking Besides, I can only waste my food. I really don’t know that Aragorn left you to me. What’s the use in the end.”

QQ immediately protested and said loudly: Nonsense! I'm the world's most...

"The most elegant creature, right?" Du Wei curled his lips: "Can elegance be eaten? No matter how elegant you are, you are just a bird. Apart from complaining to me, what else can you do for me? "

With that said, Du Wei ignored the dumb bird and turned around to pack his things.

It's not that Du Wei hated QQ, it's just that after Gandolf's death, Du Wei inevitably felt disgusted with everything related to that Aragon. In addition, even this penguin felt a little more disgusted in his heart. I just feel that anything related to Aragorn will cause some troubles...

Du Wei took out the "relics" left by Aragorn in the magic package.

These "relics" are really of little value. Except for the broken "King's Sword", there was nothing of value in the remaining bottles and jars, which made Du Wei depressed.

A piece of rag wrapped in a mess, unexpectedly it was blessed with some kind of magic. It has not been damaged for thousands of years, but it looks like it is opened. On the rag, there are circles and delineations, full of pictures of hell that I can't understand. After careful study for a long time, it was confirmed that this thing was probably a picture of something. It's just that the drawing is too rough, and I don't know what it is.

There are neither signs nor any text on the picture here, just some hellish messy patterns, how can Du Wei verify it

In addition, there is a booklet... This booklet makes Du Wei even more troublesome.

This booklet was originally placed in an iron box among Aragon's relics. After it was taken out, there was a layer of rust on it. Fortunately, the inside of this booklet was actually made of thin pure gold! After some processing by Du Wei, every page of the gold sheet was densely engraved with unknown things. There were some square and round patterns on each page, and some text marked beside it...

Du Wei studied it for a long time, and guessed what it might be. It's just depressing that none of the markings on it are recognizable! Du Wei asked himself that he is knowledgeable and talented, and that he has been a man in two lifetimes, and in this world, he hid in the earl's mansion for more than ten years when he was young and read books. There are probably very few things he doesn't know on this continent.

However, this kind of writing has no clue, and I can't understand a little bit of it.

Therefore, although this booklet is made of pure gold, it is a useless thing to Du Wei. Du Wei also made a copy of the above patterns on paper. When he was in Rollin Castle, he found a few craftsmen and showed them the copied map. But there is no text mark, no data and notes, no craftsman can understand it. Not even a blueprint of what the hell this is. Can't see it at all.

In addition to the damn picture and this strange golden book, there are several rotten bottles left by Aragorn, and there is a strange powder in the bottle, and I don't know what it is. Du Wei has done a lot of research on magic pharmacy, but he still can't figure out what these powders are.

But after all, it was left by Aragorn, and even the bottles containing these powders were all good things, so Du Wei didn't throw away the rubbish. Well preserved.

Aragorn's most powerful martial art secret striata, no.

Aragorn's most powerful magical secret striata, no.

snort. A torn picture, a gold booklet with nothing visible, a pair of rotten bottles filled with unknown powder...

This is all that remains of Aragorn.

Of course... there is also a tattered sword of the king, and a penguin that can talk loudly.

As for the king's sword, although it was broken, the seven gems on the scabbard were not ordinary things, they were all the magic cores of high-level monsters. Although the magic power in them had been drained, they were still high-quality gems.

Du Wei often takes these things out for research. But every time I have no clue. Aragorn's suicide note hidden in the hilt of the sword has been read several times, but there is no progress. As for treating the penguins kindly as stated in the suicide note, Du Wei complied. If you provide food and drink, you can treat it as a pet.

As for the strange diamond-shaped gemstone in the hilt, the suicide note said that it could obtain the power of Aragorn, but Du Wei took this gemstone and studied it for a few days. Nothing was found either.

Generally speaking, at present, these things are almost worthless in Du Wei's hands.

Sighing, Du Wei was reluctant to throw these things away after all, so he found a place to hide them carefully. Anyway, no one will come to search my room, even if I find it... I can't even understand it, and neither can others.

In other places, Gandolf's relics are many valuable things. Du Wei recently learned according to the Druid's natural method. After two months, I have learned a lot.

After packing up his things at night, Du Wei didn't go to bed, but opened the window, looked at the moon and stars in the sky, sat down slowly, closed his eyes and began to meditate and practice magic.

Star magic, Du Wei still can't figure it out until today. Although he practiced according to the star magic day by day, his magic power increased very fast. The strength and manipulation of magic power are stronger. but…

Even Semel... Since Gandolf's death, no matter how Du Wei called, Semel never came out again! Star magic has no human guidance, and of course it is impossible to learn it.

After meditating all night, when Du Wei opened his eyes at dawn, he only felt energetic and his five senses were sensitive. Even without using it deliberately, he could clearly perceive any slight movement within a radius of tens of meters. If it is used deliberately, Du Wei's mental power can gradually cover a space with a radius of several hundred meters. In the area covered by the mental power, even the sound and frequency of the vibration of insect wings can be easily heard!

Looking back at the bedroom, my big bed has been shared by the mouse and QQ. A mouse and a penguin are sleeping on the same bed. This scene is really funny.

Du Wei got used to it and didn't care about these guys.

In the morning, I got the two pets out of bed and hid them, then let the servants come in to tidy up the room and bring in breakfast.

Du Wei thought of his younger brother Gabriel, who had been back for a day and a night, but hadn't seen that kid yet. I couldn't help asking the servant. The servant immediately replied: "Madam knows that the young master will definitely ask, so let me tell you, young master, he went to the teacher's place yesterday. After the test, the teacher liked him very much. He was left behind by the teacher last night and never came back."

Du Wei nodded, let the servant go out, but smiled in his heart: that kid looks really smart, all the hard work he spent back then was not in vain, and he was actually liked by Mr. Lan Hai, the number one scholar in the imperial capital, since he was left overnight , Mr. Lan Hai must have taught him a lot.

From now on, when this kid becomes a talent, the burden of the family will naturally be on his shoulders... Du Wei is very happy to see this kind of situation.

Nothing happened in the morning, so Du Wei went to see his mother again and stayed with the countess for a while. It's just that Count Raymond went to the headquarters in the morning. After Du Wei returned to his place, he found it a bit boring. Originally on the Luolin Plain, I was busy with a lot of things, so many industries under my command, and I went to conduct magic experiments with Solskjaer.

But on the first day back home, I found that I really had nothing to do, as if I was not used to it.

I picked up a book and read it for a while, and felt a little bored. Suddenly remembered that when we parted yesterday, Master Clark left a few hints.

Maybe, go to the magic union? Anyway, I now bear the name of Gandolf's closed disciple, and I am also a genuine magician of the Magic Union. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, I have never been to the Magic Union, so it's good to go and have a look.

And now that we have encountered these complicated things, maybe we can get some news from the Magic Union!

Du Wei is a person who thinks of it, and immediately put on his clothes, and specially put on the black mage robe of the magician, then closed the door, left the two pets in the room, and ordered no People enter their own room. It just came out.

Let Made prepare the carriage, and Du Wei was walking to the gate of the Earl's Mansion, but saw the head of the Alpha guard flashing out from nowhere.

Didn't he go to the military command with his father

Du Wei frowned slightly, looked at the veteran of the family, first smiled and said hello. With a calm face, Alpha walked up to Du Wei, lowered his voice, and frowned, "Master Du Wei, it seems that you didn't listen to my advice yesterday. Why, are you going out today?"

Du Wei smiled and said, "I'm going to the Magic Union."

Alpha heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he sighed, and said: "Since this is the case... the root cause of the previous assassination has not been found out, you really can't go out alone, let me go with you."

When Du Wei heard this, his heart sank. Although there was no sign on his face, there was a trace of dissatisfaction!

what is this? House arrest

Thinking of Alpha telling himself yesterday: Don’t go out.

He wants to go out today, and he has to follow.

After all, he is his father's confidant, staring at him like this...

Although Du Wei thought so in his heart, he pretended to be unaware of his mistake, and smiled: "No need? I'm a child, just bring a few guards. You are the head of the family's guard, so there is no need to follow me alone. Are children running around?"

Alpha shook his head: "No, I'll follow. I'm worried about you going out alone."

Du Wei knew it was hard to refuse, so he nodded. Then Alpha summoned a few guards, they were the bodyguard cavalry who had followed Du Wei all the way back from Luolin Plain, but Du Wei took a look and found that the little boss who had reminded him about the military crossbow was not among them. , moved in my heart, pretended to look at one of the cavalry casually, and said with a smile: "Where is your captain?"

When the cavalryman was asked by Du Wei, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "He was sent back to the Luolin Plain by Lord Alpha yesterday..."
