Chapter 4 Rebirth, Intrigue and Fog(1/3)
Gerzwack is vast and vast, and it is called the Western Frontier on ancient parchment, because people can only have half of the day, half of it belongs to mediocrity and the other half of it belongs to wisdom.
In the southwest of the mainland, the Principality of Shanfeng is one of the overlords here, Eldan. Shanfeng is a talented and wise monarch who repelled the plunder of the Storm Empire in the south, and the limelight was in full swing.
On the border of the Principality, there is an ancient forest, the Lanma Forest, which is said to be inhabited by a powerful lord: the dragon, and adjacent to it is a small town called Miral.
"Has it been done?"
"Don't worry, I'll give him some stuff myself."
Under the night, several black shadows hurriedly left the town. After a while, they came to the back of a hillside, which was very remote and some lonely graves were scattered around them.
Rush, rust.
Two of them began to dig the soil, which seemed to be preparing to bury something, while the others put the blanket on the ground and slowly spread it out, and saw a 17 or 18-year-old boy wrapped in it.
The boy had slender figure, slightly curly black hair, delicate facial features, high nose bridge, his eyes were closed at this moment, and his face appeared blue-black.
“It’s done well.”
After confirming that the boy had completely died, the leader praised with satisfaction.
"Master Luo Ke, I'm sorry, I hope you won't blame us. After all, this is his order." The leading man showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and he bent down slightly and said to the dead boy.
"Go on."
Rumble.
Everyone quickly wrapped the boy and carried it into the dug hole, then buried it. After doing this, they processed all the traces around them before leaving.
For this hillside, there is only one sleeper, and there is no impact on the rest.
Gugu, Gugugugu.
Several unknown black birds slowly landed on the tombstones, and they seemed to be interested in this new grave.
"What's going on?" At this moment, the soil in the new grave slightly raised, and a dull and surprising sound came from it.
Luo Ke was frightened and woke up and found that he was bound by something, unable to move all over. The cold breath was sweeping across his body, his breathing became less and less smooth, and his chest was like a huge rock pressing on him.
"No!"
In fear, Rock smelled the breath of soil, and when he thought of his current situation, he was immediately frightened.
"Who is going to bury me alive!"
Buzz!
Suddenly, a huge stream of memory poured into Rock's mind, and the torn pain made him faint.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the space around the new grave suddenly became distorted, and a blurred figure was slowly coming. A hazy feeling appeared all over his body, as if it was out of place.
This is an old man, wearing a white wizard robe, with thick wrinkles on his face, and his brown eyes were shining with a light that kept people from thousands of miles away.
"Praise Gal, the long-lost whisperer, I hope you will never betray the truth, otherwise you will fall into the dark abyss forever."
The old man looked at the new grave quietly and said in his mouth. Then he reached out and pointed his hand and saw that the soil was automatically turned on. Not long after, the blanket wrapped in Rock floated in front of him.
When Rock woke up, he was standing on a low hillside, surrounded by darkness, and in the distance, there was light.
“Milal town.”
After absorbing the memory of the original owner of his body, Rock knew where there was. Overnight, his identity and the world changed, and his heart was in a mess.
"Hold sacrifices, do you make sacrifices?"
At this time, a voice sounded in Rock's mind. He instinctively reached out and grabbed the neck hanging around his neck. It was a small object that was bought from the tribe when Rock was traveling abroad.
But now it seems that it was this culprit who brought him here. According to the original owner's memory, this world is similar to ancient Central Europe, but it is different because there are wizards, swordsmen, curses, possessed dolls, dragons, and monsters here.
The elves occupy the ancient forest and guard the spring of life. The dwarves are busy forging day and night. They are kings on the mountain without competing with the world. Orcs listen to the teachings of shamans in the ancient temple. They are people of war, the totem is immortal, and the tribe is immortal.
The whisperer always walks in the darkness of the earth, the watchmen transform into the dawn post, while the saboteurs are eyeing the land of food they like.
"This is a conspiracy."
After accepting everything from the original owner, Rock thought seriously. His current situation was very dangerous. As the heir to the Black Thorn Family, he was actually poisoned to death by his servant. This is really a great irony.
The Black Thorns family is a nobleman in the small town of Miral. They have the badges given by the lord. In the eyes of the common people, this symbolizes honor and status.
But behind the glamor, there is also a darkness that cannot be shared with others. The most glorious time of the Black Thorn Family has passed, and the generation of Black Thorns has begun to wither.
Rock Black Thorn, the current Rock, is the heir to the next generation of the family. According to normal development, sooner or later he will take over the burden from his father Wuer Black Thorn.
But last month, everything changed. First, the family's business was in trouble and suffered heavy losses. Then Rock Black Thorn's mother suddenly died of illness, and then Ur Black Thorn had something to do. He actually committed crimes against his young girl and was caught by the town guards on the spot.
Not long after, Rock Black Thorn's only uncle suddenly stood up. He listed Ur Black Thorn's various crimes and publicly accused him. Finally, he passed the law enforcement court's deliberation and sentenced him to the punishment of hanging.
Thinking about it carefully, Rock felt that everything happened too strange. Madame Martha was always healthy, so why did she die of illness suddenly? Ul Black Thorn is a person who adheres to the etiquette of aristocratic people. How could he do such a ridiculous thing? Why did Black Thorn, who has always been timid, do such a rude act to destroy his relatives for justice?
The more I thought about it, the more terrible he felt. Rock suddenly felt that the water in the Black Thorn Manor was very deep and not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
As the night approaches, the streets of the town are few and far between, but in the tavern, it is still very lively. The ranger talks about his adventure stories with great enthusiasm. The young man is busy chatting with girls, while the drunkards are keen on drinking.
In the business, the idle merchants took off their disguises and were still showing off their gold coins they earned today. It seemed that they planned not to go out tomorrow.
In some dark alleys, unwritten pink transactions were quietly going on, and the night was filled with infinite temptation. In the empty market, a thin figure was carefully searching for discarded fruits and vegetables in the empty stalls.
The dim street lights illuminated her appearance. She was a cute little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, with long wavy blue hair. She tied it with a rope, and a few slightly curled bangs halfway across her bright big eyes, and her little face was blushing.
"Philly."
After hearing someone calling his name in the middle of the night, Philey was like a frightened rabbit and immediately hid behind the stall, with a terror on her face.
"It's me, don't be afraid."
Not far away, a black shadow slowly walked over, obviously knowing where Feili was hiding, and at this moment he was standing in front of the stall.
"You, who are you? How could you know my name?"
Philey poked her head carefully and saw that the other party took off the shabby robe on her body, revealing a very young face.
"Master Rock, why are you here?"
At this time, Philey slowly walked out, looking surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Rock looked at the basket he was holding and his brows frowned slightly.
"Mr. Rock, I'm looking for some vegetables and fruits." Philee shyly and lowered her head slightly, looking like she was doing something wrong.
In addition to owning a huge manor, the Black Thorn Family also has an ancestral house in the town, which is managed by servants. This ancestral house is old and old, and is secluded and gloomy. Over time, there are fewer and fewer servants who are willing to come here, and they would rather do more work in the manor.
Feili is an orphan adopted by the manor. In order not to abandon her ancestral home, she took the initiative to move in here when she was eight years old to take care of her to repay the favor of the Black Thorn Family.
From then on, the manor never sent other servants, and Philly became the nominal owner of the ancestral house.
Every once in a while, Phylli would go to the manor to get things. Rock still had some impression of her. When he thought of the other party's actions tonight, he immediately understood something.
"Is something wrong? You can tell me." Rock asked with concern.
"As soon as I went to the manor, they drove me out." Philey looked gloomy, she had no idea what was going on.
"When did it start to become like this?" Rock thought for a while and asked again.
"A month ago." Philey replied affirmatively.
"Master Rock?" Seeing that Rock's expression was a little solemn, Philee felt uneasy and vaguely felt something was wrong in the manor.
"Let's talk about it when you go back."
The light in the dilapidated wooden house was a little dim. As soon as I returned to the ancestral house, Feili quickly lit a candle. The floor was full of masterpieces left by termites, and the pits were bumpy.
The iron chandeliers on the top are shaking, with many spider silk sticking to them, and yellow oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. It can be seen that some years have passed, and some parts are blurred. At the corners of the wall, the spiral stairs connect the second floor. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but you can always hear the crunch.
"Does Mr. Rock want to eat?"
“I’m a little hungry.”
After Philey left, Rock sat at the dining table. He had no idea what happened a month ago.
"Hold sacrifices, do you make sacrifices?"
Rock bent down slightly and took off his boots, took out a badge from it, with a lifelike black thorn carved on it. I don’t know what material it was made of, but when I grabbed it, I felt heavy and a cold feeling came.
"Did you realize something that hide the family badge?" Rock said to himself. Suddenly he thought of someone and felt it was very necessary to meet the other party.
"Master Rock, it's done."
Just then, Philey carefully served the plate on the table.
"Do you usually eat this?" Rock couldn't help asking, looking at the hodgepodge, with a lot of glutinous vegetables mixed in it.
"Mr. Rock, I'm sorry, there's no other food here." Philey's eyes were red. She knew that this plate of food was no different from pig food, but this was only something she could take out.
Rock felt deeply. He didn't expect that the little girl Feili ate these garbage every day, and the world was indeed very ruthless.
"This is not your fault, you don't need to apologize." As he said that, Rock started to eat in big mouthfuls. After tossing for so long, he was indeed a little hungry, and he didn't care about any aristocratic demeanor at this moment.
After a lifetime of late-night snack, Rock called Philey to him, hesitating whether to tell him about his current situation.
"Philly, I need to meet Grandpa Milile, but I can't let anyone in the manor know about me. Can you do it?"
"Mr. Rock, I can do it." Fei Li dipped, but a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. The manor left her with so many bad memories.
"Be careful, remember, don't mention me to anyone." Rock nodded and reminded seriously.
