The convoy moved slowly towards the hilltop manor ahead, along the edge of Black Swan Lake.
The sky was slightly gloomy, and there was no light at noon. The clouds seem to have a tendency to rain.
Garen rested his left hand on the edge of the car window, quietly looking at the familiar white manor, where the spiers of the small white buildings could be faintly seen.
A layer of transparent waves like egg shells covered the entire manor, and teams of guards were constantly patrolling inside the wave shells. It looks heavily guarded.
"This is my home." Garen whispered, the home of this world. He added in his mind.
"It's a beautiful place." Angel was sitting opposite, holding a coffee cup in his hand, asking Lala to buy more coffee. "Are we going to live here from now on?"
"Don't worry, I'm afraid something else has already happened. It's a period of chaos. It's better to be careful. I'll go in first to confirm your identity, and then I'll take you in. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be quarantined if you go in. There are too many of us."
Garen didn't know what he thought of, and frowned slightly.
"What else is there to worry about?" Angel whistled indifferently, "Our team will be warmly welcomed wherever the strength is, right?"
Garen shook his head.
"I'll make arrangements first."
"Whatever you want, just send a signal if there is anything to do." Angel nodded.
Garen picked up the coffee cup in front of him and drank it down.
"Then I'll go first."
"Waiting for your good news."
Garen got out of the carriage, straightened his gray robe, and looked up at the manor.
"It's really... the manor that I haven't seen for a long time." He sighed in a low voice, and strode towards the manor along the lake.
Walking across the wooden bridge on the Black Swan Lake, the black swan is no longer visible in the lake, only some black feathers are scattered on the shore of the lake. Messy aquatic plants, turbid lake water.
It is too far from the clear, beautiful and pleasant Black Swan Lake in memory.
Garen shook his head and tightened his black robe.
Wow!
A large silver fish jumped out of the water on the right, and bit fiercely at Garen on the wooden bridge.
The mouth of the big fish is full of fine sawtooth, it looks extremely fierce, and its size is as long as a forearm.
Garen didn't even look at it, and flicked his fingers.
boom!
The big fish was slammed back into the water, and soon traces of red blood scattered on the surface of the water.
Garen speeded up, crossed the wooden bridge, and walked up the uphill forest path. The fences on both sides were already torn. In the distance on the left hand side, there are densely packed gray and white tombstones, which seem to be newly buried recently.
Garen glanced at it, and continued to move forward. Regardless of the giant red eyes looming on both sides.
All the way to the gate of the manor, he suddenly froze slightly, and saw a woman in red armor chatting with the guards at the gate of the manor from a distance.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't notice him, he turned slightly to one side and hid in a big tree on the side.
Soon, a crowd began to gather in the manor, and it seemed that there was a team preparing to go out.
"Hurry up! Where's Charles? You won't be lazy again, right? He should be on duty at this time! Call him!"
A loud voice came from inside.
Another faint sound came intermittently from afar.
".Confirm the identities of the people by the lake below. Best." "Gallot! Where is Lord Marcilan? Any new instructions?"
It seems that they have discovered the whereabouts of the carriage convoy.
Garen felt relieved, apparently the people in the manor had noticed the convoy's arrival and were going to send someone to confirm the convoy's identity. At this time, at such a short distance, it is necessary to confirm whether it is an enemy or a friend as much as possible.
He thought for a while, then turned around and quickly turned into a gray shadow, galloping towards where he came from.
He was about to return to the convoy, and when he saw the woman in the red armor, he knew that Baker Stone Eye and his party had probably arrived at the manor. There was a beautiful woman in red armor among the group of people in my memory.
Now that they have arrived ahead of schedule, the best way is naturally to enter the manor in the name of the team.
Garen knew very well that Baker's Stone Eye was a future star promoted by the Dihua Society, and wanted to use it to reach the height of the Ghost Gate and fight against the Heitian Club. Unfortunately, they underestimated the Ghost Gate and overestimated the Baker Stone. Eye. He thinks he can reach the peak of the strongest in the world, but he doesn't know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.
The powerful characters that emerged during the chaos are far from being able to compare with all of them.
Behind the three heroes are also the support of two heroes and a generation of overlords and three emperors, and they can last for a long time in the end. The ambition of the emperor, the determination to change, and the crazy ideas of the Black Sky Society. Driving the world step by step towards the edge of the unknown.
"It's just right, let me see how strong the potential of the future Dihua Club's pillar is." Garen's mouth curved slightly, and his figure accelerated again.
*************
half an hour later
Angel led the convoy slowly into the gate of the manor.
Everyone in the convoy rolled up the curtains, and their tired faces showed a long-lost sense of peace. When they arrived at the gathering place of human beings, they no longer had to worry about the unknown monsters that suddenly appeared around them. This was a kind of psychological relief for everyone.
When Vindman learned that his son had returned safely, he immediately ran out of the laboratory at the fastest speed, and took the initiative to meet the convoy entering the manor, with Maxilan and Edney closely guarding him.
He looked up at the approaching silver carriage, his expression did not change, but his slightly trembling lips revealed his uneasy mood at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost sinking into his palms. Despite the extreme suppression, there was still a trace of tension and fear in his brown eyes.
When he saw his son Ahishia sitting safely beside the female leader, Vindman finally couldn't help it.
He took a few steps forward.
"Shia." He tried hard to keep his voice from trembling.
Garen got out of the carriage and looked at the old man in front of him who was trying to restrain himself, feeling indescribably complicated. Looking at his excited performance, he felt a little strange and a little unaccustomed.
"Father. I'm back," he whispered.
Then he was gently carried into his arms by the Viscount.
"Just be safe," the Viscount said in a low voice. He just hugged her lightly and let go. Then he checked his son up and down to see if he was in good health and if there were any injuries.
Edney at the side also said with relief: "Xia, since you disappeared, Lord Viscount has not slept well for countless nights. The manpower we sent to find you also cost a lot of money, and even lost a lot of money after the chaos." Strength, but none of this matters, the important thing is that you are finally back now, and come back safely."
"Safety is the most important thing." Maxilan nodded heavily. He looked at Aishiya in front of him, this once young and immature boy had become more mature now, with some golden beard growing faintly on his chin.
Garen gave Maxilan and Edney a hug respectively. No matter what, these people would definitely stand by his side no matter what, and would always support him. Thinking of this, Garen couldn't help feeling a sense of peace in his heart.
"This is Angel. It was her wild hunting group who rescued me in Iron Tank City and was hired by me to come back here." Gallon introduced.
Then introduce the rest of the Wild Hunt to the Viscount and Marcilan one by one.
Baker Stone Eye and others in the manor, as well as the two totem masters guarding the manor, Barr and Buffia, all came out together. Seeing the big commotion, both parties showed gentle expressions of joy for the Viscount. Whether you like it or not, such a scene of relatives returning home will eventually resonate with many people.
Baker Shiyan also remembered the scene when he left the town and said goodbye to his teacher.
Barr and Buffia were also evoked with a sense of homecoming. Both of them are old friends of Vindman, and they were just invited to defend the manor stronghold.
After exchanging pleasantries, Angel was beyond Garen's expectations, showing a good upbringing, and there was no disrespect in every move.
The plump woman in red communicated with Vindman respectfully, telling the half-truths and half-false details of the pre-discussed details.
On the sidelines, Garen carefully looked at the crowd around him. He recognized Baker's stone eyes at a glance. This guy has obvious features, and he always has a calm and indifferent face. Those silver eyes are very recognizable.
There are also some unfamiliar faces in the manor, which seem to be staff dispatched by Vindman from the outside. There are also some familiar faces missing, such as the housekeeper Du Qian.
He inquired about Big Brother Maxilan carefully, and finally got a little understanding of the situation of the manor.
The current Vindman Manor is mainly occupied by two forces to maintain security. One is the two of them under Vindman, and more than a dozen Type II totem masters below. These are the results of Vindman's years of management and the support of the royal alliance. The other group is the two royal silver lamp masters, Barr and Baffia. They are knowledgeable, not only in combat, but also in the art of magic, and even in repairing, maintaining, and handling the magic circle. They all have good attainments. Each of them has several students following them, including a Type 1 totem master and a Type 2 totem master.
Maxilan didn't say what level Vindman himself was, but Gallon knew that his father Vindman had a secret weapon. Although it is only a Type 1 totem master on the surface, the power it masters can barely reach Type 3. It is the strongest strength of the manor.
Soon, his attention was focused on Baker Stone Eye and his party.
The young man in black was smiling, but even if he smiled, it gave off a cold feeling. It seems that looking at everything and everyone has a look down from above.
He does have the capital of pride, powerful talent, ancient inheritance, mysterious teacher, and the strength of his own three types of aura. All this is the basis of his pride.
Noticing Garen's gaze, he smiled slightly at Garen. He was very polite, but he didn't mean to talk at all, with a hint of alienation and indifference.
Perhaps in his heart, a Type 1 totem master is not worthy of his attention, and is just an insignificant person.
"They are Baker Stone Eye's group. It is said that they came from far away. They wanted to find a safe place for human beings to avoid the ubiquitous monsters. They just arrived at our place a few days ago." Marcilan was beside Garen explain.
A group of people were walking towards the main attic, where the aroma of spice stew faintly wafted from the hall. Two servants and maids are respectfully opening the door to everyone.
"Baker's Stone Eye? It looks very powerful." Garen nodded.
