After absorbing some shadow power, Major was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door softly.
Ellie?
Major's heart instantly stirred up. Oops, was it a bit sudden? He wasn't completely mentally prepared. Although the two of them were almost in the middle...but that happened for a reason. Afterwards, Ellie behaved as if it had never happened, but Major did.
It was inevitable to feel a little embarrassed at the time. It turned out that she was just pretending. Is it appropriate to do this now? But it was delivered to my door, wouldn't it be too disadvantageous to refuse? Besides, Ellie is so beautiful, especially those violet eyes...
The door rang softly twice more.
No matter what, Major made up his mind, put his shoes neatly, pulled the sheets, smoothed his hair, and opened the door.
A small woman whose whole body was hidden under a large gray cloak stood at the door, her face invisible. But looking at her figure, Ellie Major was definitely not disappointed.
"Mr. Major George, can you come inside and talk?" the woman said. It turned out to be Mrs. Monroe, Windosa's mother.
Major quickly let her into the room, wondering why this old lady came to see him at this time.
"Please take a seat, Mrs. Monroe." Major moved a chair to the old lady. "What would you like to drink?"
"Thank you, but no need. Major, before I answer your question, may I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course." Major was a little confused. But he still agreed. Since she came to the door in the middle of the night, there must be something important.
"Are you the Watcher?"
"Yes."
"Who is your recommender?"
"Yutan Flower."
"Oh, it's the half-elf from Liuhe Town."
"Haha, aunt, don't test me. Master Yutan is a green-skinned dwarf."
"Haha, I remembered it wrong. Then Master Yutan created a spell of his own, what is it called?"
"Photographic memory." Major remembered this very clearly. If it weren't for photographic memory, he would have died countless times.
"The standard answer is "Thin Air", but you actually know "Photographic Memory", so you can be sure." The old lady added: "The woman you are with is also a watcher, right?"
Major nodded.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Please forgive me for having to lie this afternoon, because my daughter-in-law, Misha, or the woman who calls herself Misha, is the spy planted by the Black Flame Brotherhood around me."
Huh? This news was so shocking that Major couldn't believe it. How could you, an ordinary old lady, let the Black Flame Brotherhood monitor you at all times?
"It's unbelievable," Major said with difficulty.
"Young man, since you have seen my son and fought against his skeleton, you know how powerful he is. To be honest, with your current level, if you were to compete with the living Windosa, you would not be able to sustain two moves.
." The old lady said, hugging her arms.
Hey! This old lady spoke very sharply. But Major had to admit that what she said was absolutely right. After becoming a skeleton, Windosa's speed, strength and reflexes were greatly reduced in all aspects. Even so, Major also relied on
He had to resort to almost cheating methods to defeat it. If Windosa was still alive, Major would have no chance at all.
But your son is so powerful, what does it have to do with you, an old lady? Could it be that the Black Flame Brotherhood sent someone to protect you because of your merit in raising your son?
Seeing that he didn't believe it and wasn't angry, the old lady asked patiently: "Young man, have you ever heard of the one-eyed swordsman Lionel?"
Major shook his head blankly.
The old lady asked again: "Then have you heard of the Roaring Swordmaster Marquillo?"
Continue to shake your head.
"Ice Sword Master Curtis?"
Shake his head.
"Sword Saint Clement of Bright Light?"
Shake his head.
Now it was the old lady's turn to be shocked: "Young man, in this world, there may be someone who doesn't know one of the four people mentioned above, but knows nothing about them all, and that may be you."
Major continued to pretend to be innocent. You have to know that I came from time and space, and my dentures didn't fall out in fear.
The old lady saw that Major was confused by the question and was not going to beat around the bush, so she said: "Although none of the four sword masters mentioned above can enter the realm of Yuanli form, they all stand on the Yuanli form with their exquisite swordsmanship.
The pinnacle of the third level of strength.”
Major nodded politely, thinking to himself that even if they were flying heifers, they were so awesome that they had nothing to do with you!
The old lady added: "You must think that these people have nothing to do with me, right? Then you are wrong. Let me tell you, besides swordsmanship, these four people have one thing in common..."
"Their surname is Monroe." The door was suddenly pushed open and Ellie walked in, saying.
This time it was Major who was shocked! The four legendary swordsmen all had the surname Monroe. There could be no such coincidence in the world. Could it be that...?
"That's right." The old lady straightened her back. "They are all descendants of our Monroe family."
No wonder! Major slapped his thigh. No wonder Windosa Monroe's swordsmanship is so exquisite. It is passed down from family to family.
The light from the corridor outside shone into the dim room and onto the old lady's face. She raised her head and looked proud. It seemed that even her wrinkles had smoothed out a lot.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful! It turns out you are the Queen of Zhongliang." Major was so excited that he quickly poured water for the old lady and started shouting randomly, which made both the old lady and Ellie confused.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't pay attention and said to Ellie: "What are you doing here?"
Ellie smiled and said: "The descendants of the Sword Master came to visit in the middle of the night. Wouldn't it be rude of me not to come forward?"
"How did you know I was here?"
Ellie said: "A person who understands the first layer of "Sound Barrier" wants to hide it from my ears. You are too careful about the watcher."
The old lady exclaimed, "Is this the first level of Yuanli comprehension? I don't know."
"Are you also a Yuanli envoy?" Major was surprised again.
"I have several skill books of my husband's at home. I looked through them when I had nothing to do, and I learned them without knowing it. The level of the three-legged cat will make you laugh." The old lady said sheepishly.
"Then what do you want to see me for?" Major asked.
The old lady explained. It turns out that the Monroe family was once a world-famous family of sword masters. Over the past thousands of years, there have been hundreds of people who have been awarded the title of sword master, and there are countless other children who are famous for their swordsmanship. But
The Monroe family has always had a small bloodline, and almost all are passed down from one generation to the next. The ancestral precepts forbid their children to join the Five Pagodas and serve the nobles. In addition, they are engaged in the high-risk profession of swordsmanship, so the family power is not prosperous, but has gradually declined in recent hundreds of years.
By the old lady's husband's generation, it was considered a complete decline. Her husband, Isaac Monroe, could almost be regarded as the old lady's son-in-law. When he got married, he had nothing but a sword and a few books.
Five years after Isaac Munro got married, he told the old lady that he was a watcher and was sent to Baiyang Town to be a Yuanli instructor. But he was unwilling to stay in such a small place for the rest of his life and devoted himself to following the glory of his ancestors, leaving two people behind.
The son left. Windosa was only four years old at the time, and her youngest son Toby was still in his infancy.
The old lady raised her two sons by herself, enduring the looks and ridicule of the aunts in the town. Unexpectedly, when Windosa was 15 years old, she took out a badge left to him by his father and said that he was going to the Red Wall City to join the Watch.
Although Wendosa was young, he was very talented and had practiced swordsmanship to the second level. He wanted to find his father, but the old lady did not stop him. From then on, he never let his younger son learn swordsmanship again.
There was no news about Windosa after he left for more than ten years, until he suddenly came back a few days before Major arrived.
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help showing a look of fear and anger, and her voice trembled.
"You should be happy that your eldest son is back." Major asked puzzledly.
"It's not my son who's coming back," the old lady said firmly.
Isn't this old lady so confused that she doesn't even recognize her son? Major and Ellie exchanged a look.
"The person who came here is exactly the same as Wendosa. His appearance, voice, tone, behavior, and temper are all the same. I can even see the changes in the furnishings at home. But I know that he is definitely not my son. There is no reason, just because
Mother’s intuition.”
"He came in the evening. After dinner, he went straight to his room, took away the ancestral sword manual, and asked me for another secret book. I insisted that Isaac left nothing else
He didn't believe the book, so he searched the house all night, and when it was almost dawn, he still couldn't find it, so he left in a hurry."
"Other secrets?" The huge amount of information came one after another, and Major was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Yes!" The old lady's eyes shone again. "When my husband left, he gave me two books and asked me to keep them for future generations. One is about swordsmanship, and the other is about boxing."
