"Are you alone?"
Colin curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Can you afford it?"
Franco nodded, tried to straighten his back, and said in a deep voice, "I want to try."
Due to the perennial paralysis, Franco's body was weak and weak, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but at this time, facing the notorious Count Angelet, he did not show any sign of flinching.
While Colin and Franco were staring at each other in silence, Earl Morrison strode up to his father, blocking Colin's scrutiny, and asked:
"Father, as Earl Morrison, I am entitled to know any secrets in the family! So please tell me frankly, what is going on?"
Mrs. Grace also said in a deep voice: "Franco, you can tell the truth about Horus. If the crime is really unforgivable, the Morrison family will naturally take due responsibility.
However, if this matter has nothing to do with the Morrison family, I will never allow anyone to tarnish the glory of the Morrison family! "
"Okay!" Colin smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency Franco, please tell me something about this Horus mage, so that no one will always think that I am using my power to bully others and frame Zhongliang."
Franco hesitated for a moment, and said, "I only know a part about Horus..."
"It's okay, just tell me." Colin smiled slightly, "I will make necessary additions."
Franco's face changed for a while, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, Mrs. Grace slammed the table heavily and said, "Franco, what are you afraid of? Does the Morrison family have any secrets?"
Franco sighed helplessly, and could only say:
"Mother, my younger brother Horus didn't actually die back then, and of course he was not far from death. His deformity is not only manifested on the outside, but also has problems with his internal organs, so he is destined not to grow up healthily...
At that time, a mage with a mysterious origin came to Huayu City and said that he was sure that Horus could grow up healthily. His father was ecstatic and immediately promised a very high reward, as long as the man could heal Horus. .
But the mage said that he didn't need other rewards, as long as his father allowed Horus to be his student, and he would take Horus out of Huayu City.
Although the father was reluctant, he finally agreed to the mysterious mage. After all, Horus had at least a glimmer of hope to survive after becoming a mage's apprentice.
And in order not to make you sad, mother, and to avoid making people think that the Morrison family had a close relationship with Yevil, my father made up the lie that Horus was dead... "
Hearing this, Colin couldn't help asking: "Who is the mage who took Horus away?"
Franco shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe my father knows something, but he never told me."
Colin frowned, he didn't expect there to be a mysterious mage.
This mage is obviously not Mr. Ji, because the age is not right.
It seems that Yevil may still be hiding some secrets, so if you have the chance, you must visit the Mage Tower...
Seeing that Colin was lost in thought, Franco continued:
"The mage took Horus with him for twenty years, and there was no news of him. My father and I thought that he might not succeed, so we assumed that Horus was dead.
But unexpectedly, suddenly one day, Horus reappeared in the Swallow Butterfly Castle.
Moreover, he also became a powerful mage.
His father was very happy, and originally planned to let him recognize his ancestors, but Horus refused.
He said that he was conducting a great experiment, heretical as it may be, but it hoped that the deformed defect in the blood of the Morrison family could be solved once and for all.
Of course, my father agreed without hesitation, did not disclose the identity of Horus, and helped him provide various experimental needs... "
"Is this the source of the pool of blood under the clock tower in the west corner of the Phoenix Butterfly Castle?" Ke Lin asked.
Franco nodded.
"What blood pool?" Earl Morrison couldn't help asking.
Franco hesitated for a moment, but said frankly, "It's a pool of blood from the noble daughters of the St. Hilde family who married into the Morrison family."
Suddenly, there were several exclamations in the hall.
You know, due to the persistence of the Morrison family, there are not a few noble daughters from the St. Hilde family who marry.
The newlywed Countess Nina also looked horrified, and asked in a trembling tone, "Saiken, is this the real reason why you married me?"
Earl Morrison himself was shocked by the news. He waved his hands again and again and said, "Of course not! Nina, my love for you is extremely pure, absolutely nothing mixed with anything that shouldn't be there!"
Nina looked at her husband quietly, not sure if she believed it or not.
Mrs. Grace was also trembling with anger, and asked, "Then you also stole my blood?"
Franco lowered his head, not daring to look into his mother's eyes, and gave a soft "hmm".
"Nizi!" The old lady picked up the plate in front of her and threw it at Franco.
Franco didn't dare to dodge either, and was immediately smashed to the ground and covered in a mess.
Ke Lin watched this scene with great interest, and seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he opened his mouth and said:
"By the way, Your Excellency Franco, I heard that there are still many living people hanging on the blood pool. Who are they?"
Franco wiped the blood on his face casually, and seemed to have given up on himself, and said lightly:
"They are all abandoned babies of the Morrison family. They were born with disabilities, and they were secretly handed over to Horus for treatment..."
Speaking of which, Franco raised his head, looked at Mrs. Grace, and argued: "Mother, I admit that Horus's method looks very evil, but it really works, at least those deformed abandoned babies are still alive alive..."
"Live well?" Colin sneered, "Hanging above the underground pool of blood without people or ghosts, you call that 'live well'?"
"Horus said that his experimental methods still need to be perfected, but it is undeniable that he has indeed saved those abandoned babies who should have died!" Franco looked at Colin without shame, and growled, " Count Angelet, you are not from the Morrison family, so you cannot understand the pain of watching one deformed child after another in the family!
Therefore, even if Horus's approach is a bit deviant, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to solve the problem of the Morrison family's lineage, I am willing to make any attempt and bear any blame! "
Colin chuckled and said, "So, that's why you stole the body of the previous Duke of St. Hilde?"
Franco was suddenly at a loss for words.
"What? You stole the remains of the Duke of St. Hilde?" Mrs. Grace suddenly stood up and shouted at her son angrily.
Franco nodded silently.
Mrs. Grace suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked:
"Where is the remains of the Duke now?"
Franco opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
Colin sneered and said:
"The Duke's body... I guess he is playing hide-and-seek with Prince Lexi right now."
