Chapter 120 [Discordant Earl's House]

Chapter 120 [The Disharmonious Earl’s Mansion]

After leaving the count's study, although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the meeting with his father also brought some inner weirdness. But when he went to meet the countess, Du Wei still suppressed all these thoughts in his heart.

Cheer up and go see your mother with a face full of warmth and smile.

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

He came into this world inexplicably. He was originally a young man with a mature mind, but he was supported by this baby. At the beginning, he had his own parents in his previous life. Although he came here to support him, he really couldn't take care of him.

The countess regarded her as her own mother.

This kind of mentality is really normal. Just imagine, if any young person suddenly asks you to forget your biological parents and identify other unrelated people as your parents, you will certainly not be able to accept it in your heart.

But as he grew up in the count's palace, especially the countess who was beautiful and kind, Du Wei suffered a serious illness when he was young. The countess knelt in the temple all night to pray and took care of her non-stop, and everyone was almost tired.

Devastated, 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 responsibilities, pretended to be untalented, and was even ridiculed as an idiot. Even his own father did not like him. But the Countess still loved this person.

My son would quietly come to Du Wei's room every night, talk to his poor son, and even sing to coax him to sleep... Day by day, bit by bit, bit by bit, even though Du Wei still resisted the world in his heart

, and was gradually melted by this mother's loving heart.

It can be said that Du Wei really doesn't have much affection for the count's "father" in his heart. But for the countess, after more than ten years, he has really developed some filial feelings. Gradually, he has developed a feeling of filial piety towards his "mother".

"I slowly accepted this identity in my heart.

After being away from home for a year, Du Wei returned to the inner house. From a distance, he saw the Countess in a purple robe, standing in front of the door. She looked at Du Wei and smiled quietly. Her long hair was smooth. At this moment, Du Wei couldn't help but feel in a trance.

For a moment, I seem to recall that when I was young, my mother hugged me and sang to me to sleep in the middle of the night. I habitually liked to hold my mother's hair while sleeping...

It feels so soft and smooth.

The countess still looks as beautiful as ever, with a gentle smile in her eyes. Although the years have left some traces on her face, she still cried silently while holding her sick son on a rainy night.

His eyes are still so radiant and moving.

Du Wei was really moved at this moment, and walked over quickly. Then he knelt down on one knee in front of the countess, took his mother's hand with both hands, and said softly: "I'm back...Mother

!”

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

With tears flashing in her eyes, the Countess slowly helped her eldest son up, then hugged her gently, and whispered: "Come back this time. I will never let him drive you away again, no matter what I say."

Got it!"

The voice is not loud, but it is unwavering and determined!

Du Wei accompanied the countess into the room, and sat down to 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 when he grew up, he became sick.

He is not liked by his husband. He has suffered a lot of cold treatment and looks down his face. I am afraid that he is the only one in the family who truly loves his son. However, his husband cruelly drove him back to his hometown.

She felt heartbroken for a moment, and asked Du Wei carefully about his hometown in Luolin Plain. Although the countess understood that the castle in Luolin Plain's hometown had everything. Although her son had fallen out of favor, after all, as a young master, he must also

I don’t know how to endure hardship. But all mothers in this world have one thought. When their son is not around, they are always worried about his warmth, clothing, and food.

Du Wei was moved in his heart and cheered up to answer one by one. He also racked his brains and told some interesting things about Luolin Plain, finally driving away the last trace of gloom from the countess' brows.

The mother and son talked happily, but they almost spent the lunch time. Seeing that noon had passed, Du Wei himself was fine, but he was worried that the countess was hungry, so he deliberately touched his belly and said with a smile: "Mother,

I went out early in the morning, but I haven’t eaten anything yet.”

Only then did the countess wake up and quickly said with a smile: "I forgot... Well, I haven't seen you for a year, and I only focus on talking to you, but... I will ask the servant to bring food."

Du Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, 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 saying that, Duwei asked Mader to call him, and asked Mader to go down and find a few metal shelves and charcoal among the goods he brought with him in the carriage. Then he asked the kitchen to send a few plates of raw ground.

Beef, mutton, offal, and some fresh vegetables.

Then Duwei took the countess out of the room, and asked Mader to get a barbecue rack in the yard according to his instructions. Duwei personally cut the food sent from the kitchen into thin slices, inserted it on the fork, and lit the fire.

, and took out the barbecue seasoning prepared by himself at Luo Lin’s hometown, and grilled it carefully.

In his previous life, he was a bachelor. He lived alone, took care of his own meals, and his cooking skills were really good. After arriving in this world, he was served by others. Although he was a lot lazy, he was tired of eating when he was living a priority life in Luolin Plain.

I have learned about the delicacies of this world, and when I have nothing to do, I try to invent some ways of eating from my previous life. Although the ingredients and condiments are different, it is impossible to make authentic Chinese food, but a simple barbecue is still no problem.

This roasted lamb is the most tender part of the veal loin. Du Wei took out the seasoning in a small bottle. Du Wei had been searching for plants in this world for a long time and found a very similar flavor.

The "cumin" in the previous life was carefully tested and found to be edible. It was ground into powder and added with some special condiments.

At this moment, while turning the roasting fork, sprinkle the powder evenly on the mutton. In addition, the mutton has been cut in several places to allow the heat to spread evenly. In less than a moment, the aroma will be overflowing.

Du Wei roasted a piece of meat and handed it to his mother with both hands. He smiled and said, "Mom, try it. This taste is different from others!"

The countess is a woman and usually eats less meat and fish. But after a year apart, how could she refuse her son's kindness when they meet again? Seeing that Du Wei's face was still stained with some black ash from the barbecue, his eyes almost filled with tears.

With tears streaming down her face, she took it and took a bite. It was indeed delicious and tender. Under her son's eyes, he actually ate all the pieces of mutton pierced through a roasting fork, which was much larger than usual.

too much.

Seeing that his mother was happy, Du Wei started grilling again. The countess was in a good mood. Even the maid who had taken care of the surroundings came up and ordered some good wine to be brought over. This outdoor barbecue was filled with laughter for a while.

Even the maids on the side received a few pieces of food baked by the young master himself.

After spending half a day with his mother, Du Wei saw that the countess was radiant and in good spirits. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Du Wei smiled and said: "I couldn't make it to my mother's birthday last time, but let Mader bring the fireworks.

You must like it. I brought quite a few over this time. When it gets dark, I will show them to you!"

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

Du Wei chatted with his mother for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he returned to the room and suddenly smiled: "I haven't seen my brother all day, where has Gabri been? He couldn't have made a mistake.

Are you locked in the room by your father?"

Speaking of her younger brother, the countess couldn't help but sigh: "Your brother went out early today, and I'm afraid he won't come back until very late... Sigh. Your father has high expectations for him. It's okay for Alpha to teach him martial arts on weekdays.

I went to specially invite Mr. Lan Hai, the most famous scholar in the imperial capital, to accept your brother as his disciple. It’s just that Mr. Lan Hai’s status is different, but it is impossible for him to come and be a teacher, so your brother will have to go to Lan Hai every two days in the future.

Today is the first day of studying at Mr. Lan Hai’s home. It is said that Mr. Lan Hai will also conduct an assessment on him. I am afraid he will not come back so early..."

Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this.

What a huge difference!

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

That Mr. Lan Hai, Du Wei had also heard of his reputation. He was the leading scholar in the imperial capital. His status was much higher than that of the enlightenment teacher and scholar he invited when he was young! He had even heard of several members of the royal family.

None of his disciples could invite him.

At night, Du Wei went back to his original place in the Earl's Mansion. This was a very secluded place in the Earl's Mansion. Du Wei had not been favored since he was a child. This place was far away from the Earl and his wife's residence. I wanted to come here.

Even the earl doesn't want to see this unsatisfactory son more often.

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

None of the things he left behind in the room had been moved. Even the book he left behind when he left last year was still placed in its original place. The table was bright and there was no trace of dust.

Mader had already moved all his belongings into the room in accordance with Du Wei's instructions. Du Wei ordered the servants not to come in and disturb him, and closed the doors to the yard. He also casually 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 hair tied together on his head. He couldn't help but sigh... This corner of his head is really troublesome. When I was with my mother today, I was very emotional.

At that moment, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of Du Wei's head. Fortunately, Du Wei was smart enough to figure out the problem and quietly avoided it. It was just that he kept this corner, which was inconvenient after all... He had to find a way.

Later, Du Wei opened a special large box among the belongings sent by Mader. As soon as he opened it, there was a loud complaint from inside: "Oh my God, you are finally here! Such a

It’s been boring me all day long!”

After saying that, the penguin jumped out and stood on the ground, his short and funny body stretched out. And the mouse Gargamel also jumped out, gasping for air, and looked at Du Wei dissatisfied: "I said, can you

Give us a different place? It’s boring to stay in this small box all day long!”

"Is it boring?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Didn't it leave a few vents?"

Gargamel was furious: "You really treat me as a pet! Don't forget. I, Lord Gargamel, am a great magician! Being locked up in this box by you...I...don't you know, for a whole day

Come down, even if you leave us something to eat in there... I still have to go to the toilet!"

After saying that, Gargamel was already looking around, and then ran away in the direction of the toilet.

QQ swayed his hands and feet until he felt comfortable, but ignored Du Wei. Instead, he jumped in front of the mirror and looked at it carefully for a long time. He also straightened some of the messy feathers on his body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

: "Look! Look! Don't ever lock me with this mouse again! It's so ugly to have gray mouse hair on my beautiful feathers!"

Du Wei glanced at the "mythical beast" left by Aragorn. He sneered and said: "Is it ugly? Although it is a mouse, it still has magic and can teach me a lot of magic knowledge. What about you? In addition to being able to talk, you can

Otherwise, you can only waste my food. I really don’t know what the use of Aragorn leaving you to me is."

QQ immediately protested and said loudly: "Nonsense! I am the 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. Besides complaining to me, what else can you do to help me?

"

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

It's not that Du Wei hates QQ, it's just that after Gandolf's death, Du Wei inevitably felt a little disgusted with everything related to Aragorn, and even the penguin felt a little more disgusted in his heart.

.I just feel that anything related to Aragorn will cause some trouble...

Du Wei took out the "relics" left by Aragorn from the magic bag.

These "relics" really didn't have much value. Except for the damaged "King's Sword", there was nothing of value in the remaining bottles and jars. What made Du Wei depressed was that there was nothing of value at all.

It was a messy rag that had been blessed with some magic. It had not been damaged for thousands of years, but when you opened it, you saw that the rag was full of things that you couldn't understand.

Damn it, the map is dark. After studying it carefully for a long time, I finally confirmed that this thing is probably some kind of map. It's just that the drawing is too sloppy, and I don't know where it is.

There are neither markings nor any text on this map. There are just some bloody messy patterns. How can Du Wei verify it?

In addition, there was a booklet... This booklet gave Du Wei even more headaches.

This booklet was originally placed in an iron box among Aragon's relics. After taking it out, there was a layer of rust on it. Fortunately, the inside of the booklet was actually made of thin pure gold! After Du Wei processed it

, each page of gold tablets is densely engraved with something I don’t know what it is. There are some square and round patterns on each page, as well as some words marked next to it...

Du Wei studied for a long time and guessed that these were probably the manufacturing drawings of something, but what was depressing was that none of the markings on them were recognizable! Du Wei asked himself that he was a man of erudite knowledge and had been born in two lifetimes, and in this

In the world, when he was young, he hid in the Earl's Mansion and studied for more than ten years. There are probably very few things in this continent that he doesn't know.

But this kind of writing has no clue, and I can't understand even a single bit.

Therefore, although this booklet is made of pure gold, it is a useless thing for Du Wei. Du Wei once made a copy of the patterns on it on paper, which he kept in Luolin Castle.

At that time, I found several craftsmen and showed them the copied drawings, but there were no text labels, no data or notes, and none of the craftsmen could understand them. They couldn't even tell what the drawings were.

.

In addition to that damn map and this strange gold book, the relics left by Aragorn also include a few rotten bottles. In the bottles is a strange powder, and I don’t know what it is. Duwei is interested in magic.

There has been considerable research on pharmaceutics, but they have never been able to figure out what these powders are.

But after all, it was the things left by Aragorn, and even the bottles containing the powder were of the highest quality. Du Wei did not throw away the rubbish and kept it well.

Aragorn's most powerful martial arts secret, none.

Aragorn's most powerful magical secret. None.

Huh, a broken map, a gold book with nothing visible, a pair of broken bottles filled with unknown powder...

This is all the relics left by Aragorn.

Of course... there is also a tattered King's Sword, and a noisy penguin.

As for the King's Sword, although it is in tatters, the seven gems on the scabbard are not ordinary objects. They are the magic cores of high-level magical beasts. Although the magic power has been drained out of it, they are still high-quality gems.

Du Wei often took out these things to study, but every time he had no clue. He read the suicide note hidden in the hilt of Aragon's sword several times, but made no progress. As for the instructions in the suicide note to treat penguins well, Du Wei did as he was told.

Now, if you feed it with delicious food and drink, you can treat it like a pet.

As for the strange rhombus-shaped gem in the hilt, the suicide note said it could gain Aragorn's power, but Du Wei studied it for several days and found nothing.

Generally speaking, these things currently have almost no value in Du Wei's hands.

Sighing, Du Wei couldn't bear to throw away these things after all, so he found a place to hide them carefully. No one would search his room anyway, and even if he found it... Even he couldn't understand it, and others wouldn't be able to understand it.

Can't understand.

There are many other valuable things among Gandolf's relics. Du Wei has been studying the Druid natural method recently, and after a month or two, he has learned a lot.

After packing up his things at night, Du Wei didn't sleep either. He just 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.

Du Wei still has no clue about star magic. Although he is practicing according to star magic day by day, his magic power is increasing rapidly, and the intensity and control of magic power are stronger. But...

Even Semmel... Ever since Gandalf died, no matter how Du Wei summoned him, Semmel has never come out again! Star magic has no one to guide it, and of course it is impossible to learn it.

After meditating all night, Du Wei opened his eyes at dawn and felt that his energy was strong and his five senses were sensitive. He didn't even need to use it deliberately. Any slight movement within a radius of dozens of meters could be clearly and abnormally perceived. If he used it deliberately,

If so, Du Wei's mental power has gradually been able to cover a space of several hundred meters in radius. In the area covered by his mental power, even the sound and frequency of the vibrating insect wings can be easily heard!

Looking back at the bedroom, I saw that my big bed was already being used by the mouse and QQ. A mouse and a penguin were sleeping on the same bed. This scene was really funny.

Du Wei was used to seeing them and didn't care about these guys.

In the morning, I put the two pets out of bed and hid them, then asked the servants to come in and clean up the room, and brought breakfast in.

Du Wei thought of his brother Gabri. He had been back for a day and a night, but he still hadn't seen the boy. He couldn't help but ask 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 yesterday, and after the test, the teacher liked him very much. He was left by the teacher last night and did not come back."

Du Wei nodded and let the servant go out, but he smiled in his heart: That boy seemed really smart, and all the hard work he had spent back then was not in vain. He was actually liked by Mr. Lan Hai, the greatest scholar in the imperial capital. Since he was kept overnight

, presumably Mr. Lan Hai gave him a lot of guidance.

From now on, when this boy becomes a talented person, the burden of the family will naturally fall on him... Du Wei is very happy to see this situation.

Nothing happened in the morning. Du Wei went to see his mother again and stayed with the countess for a while. However, Count Raymond went to the headquarters in the morning. After Du Wei returned to his place, he found that he was a little bored. Originally on the Luolin Plain,

I have a lot of things to do, with so many properties under my control, and I also have to conduct magic experiments with Solskjaer.

But on the first day after returning home, I found that I really had nothing to do, and it seemed that I was not used to it.

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

Maybe, go to the Magic Guild? After all, I now have the title of Gandolf's closed disciple, and I am also the official magic bachelor of the Magic Guild. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, I have never been to the Magic Guild, so it would be a good idea to go and see it.

good.

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

Du Wei was the one who did what he thought of. He immediately put on his clothes, and even put on the black mage robe of a bachelor of magic. Then he closed the door, left the two pets in the room, and gave the order not to do so.

The person entered his room and then came out.

After letting Mader prepare the carriage, Du Wei was walking to the door of the Earl's Mansion when he saw the Alpha Guard Captain flashing out of nowhere.

Didn't he go to the military headquarters with his father?

Du Wei frowned slightly, looked at the veteran of the family, and said hello with a smile. Alpha's face was calm, he walked up to Du Wei, lowered his voice, frowned and said: "Master Du Wei, my advice yesterday, it seems that you

I didn’t hear it. What, are you going out today?”

Du Wei smiled and said, "I want to go to the Magic Guild."

After hearing this, Alpha had a strange look in his eyes, sighed, and said: "In this case...the root cause of the previous assassination has not been found out, and you really can't go out alone, so I will go with you.

"

After hearing this, Du Wei's heart sank. Although there was no sign on his face, there was a hint of dissatisfaction!

What is this? House arrest?

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

Today I have to go out, and he has to follow me.

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

Although Du Wei thought so in his heart, he pretended not to notice anything on his face and said with a smile: "No need, right? I'm just a kid, I just need to bring a few guards. You are the head guard of the family, there is no need to follow me."

Children running around, right?”

Alpha shook his head: "No, let me follow you. I'm not 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 cavalry guards who had followed Du Wei back from Luolin Plains. However, Du Wei took a look and found that the man who had reminded him

He thought that his little boss about military crossbows was not among them. He felt something in his heart, pretending to look at one of the cavalry casually, and said with a smile: "Where is your captain?"

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