Silver Blade and Rose

Zals didn't know whether it was a surprise or a fright, but he was indeed surprised by Edwin.

"I thought you were going somewhere else."

"There's nowhere to go," Edwin patted Cerberus on the head casually to signal it to play by itself, and then said, "Grant's business has been done, and I can give you a vacation to go home and have a look. "

The so-called "Grant matter" is probably the authenticity of the white clothes found for him as agreed before.Zars had only regarded Flesa as a figure in legends before, and believed in Edwin's statement that "whether he really existed or not" was a firm belief, but now he knows the relationship between Flesa and Edwin. Layer relationship, things seem to be not so simple.

He carefully observed Edwin's face, and found nothing unusual, but the other party spotted his sneak peek first: "What are you looking at?"

Zals straightened up subconsciously: "It's nothing."

"How about the arm?"

"No problem, it seems to be fine."

Edwin nodded, and asked again: "Can you drive? If not, let Grant take us to your house."

Zals didn't want Grant to take a step closer to his house, so he quickly cheered up and said, "Okay, I have the car keys with me, shall we go now?"

He reached out to take the key out of his pocket, and without giving Edwin a chance to repent, he turned around and walked quickly to the underground garage, without seeing the meaningful gaze of Edwin standing behind him.

"How is it?" Elvins, who finished negotiating with Grant, returned to Edwin and asked in a low voice.

Edwin didn't answer his question immediately, and waited for Grant to drive away before speaking.

"It's nothing," he said lightly, "help me look after the house, I'm going out for a while."

"Didn't you just come back?" Elvins was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

Edwin watched Zales disappear into the garage entrance, then said lightly, "Go to Zales' house."

Elvins looked at him and then at the dark basement entrance, not knowing what to say, and finally said: "Be careful."

He entered the house obediently and shared duties with Cerberus, while Edwin took two steps back and stood at the gate of the yard waiting for Zars.

To be honest, he didn't think there was anything to be careful about when he went to Zals's house. After all, judging from the childhood adventures that the other party had mentioned before, it was probably just that his family had inherited a little bit of ancestral blood from an unknown number of generations ago. However, the abilities of ordinary people have been weakened from generation to generation to the point that they can hardly be brought into play.This remaining power allowed Zals to make rapid progress after arriving at No. 179, but it was really not a threat to Edwin.

Zals may have an ancestor who once had a connection with Hell or the White Land, he speculates like this, but he should be able to confirm the specifics after seeing Zals' parents.

Thinking this way, Zals just happened to drive the car in front of him, so Edwin didn't think any more, unbuttoned his windbreaker, opened the door and got in the car.

"Can I buy a box of cakes on the side of the road later?" Zales asked after he fastened his seat belt.

Edwin didn't think much, and said casually, "Yes."

Seeing that he agreed, Zales explained: "Because Lilian likes desserts, she liked the desserts you gave me last time..."

Although it's gone this time, it's good to bring something else, and Lilian should be very happy too.

It was actually a bit difficult for Edwin to understand this kind of behavior of bringing food home, but since Zals thought his mother would be happy about it, he didn't have any objections.

Sensing his lack of interest in this topic, Zars thought for a while, swallowed "What do you like to eat, would you like to take a copy back to No. 179, the bread in that shop is good" and asked instead: " Did something happen to the contract ceremony that day? I seemed to faint from the middle, and I don’t even know if I succeeded.”

Edwin glanced at him, confirmed that there was no abnormal expression on his face, and then said, "It's not a big problem, it's just a small accident."

It was indeed an accident, but it was not a small one. At least Elvins felt that Zarles was a pawn sent by the gang to trouble him. each other alone.However, in Edwin's view, there would be no problem with Zals himself. After all, he really didn't know about his bloodline. Even if there was anything, the problem should be his parents.

"That's good." Zars was unaware of his thoughts and was seen through unilaterally. "I don't have any serious problems. I'm just worried about causing you some damage."

There is one more sentence he didn't say, that is... He was not completely unconscious, and he still had a little bit of consciousness at that time.

It's not clear, but I can still feel that there is no one in the room, probably Elvins left, and then...

He thought it must have been an accident, or he had a drowsy dream.Since Edwin didn't say anything, it doesn't mean it's true.

There was a red light at the intersection ahead, Zals slowly stopped the car, couldn't help turning his face slightly, and peeked at Edwin out of the corner of his eye.

The other party's expression was as usual, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't notice that he was peeping.

Edwin's side profile is quite delicate, his eyelashes droop slightly when he lowers his eyes, and he can see half-covered green eyes and a high nose bridge. From his angle, he is as beautiful as a dummy.

Afraid of being discovered by him, Zals withdrew his gaze, tried his best to concentrate, stepped on the accelerator after the green light turned on, and the car rushed out at the speed limit.

His house is actually not very far away, even though they stopped on the road to buy cakes and biscuits, it was still early when they arrived.Before getting out of the car, Zales solemnly told Edwin: "Wait, if Lilian invites you to stay for dinner, you must not agree."

Edwin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"

"Then you might not be able to leave tonight." Zars said earnestly.

Edwin didn't realize what Zales meant until he entered the door.

Lilian, who was wearing an apron, ran out of the kitchen to open the door. At first, she couldn't help but become enthusiastic after seeing him look like this. After hearing that he was the boss of Zars, her enthusiasm became even higher. After sitting down for 10 minutes Inside has been treated to a triple treat of pie, tea and fruit.

She looks very young, and actually looks a bit like Zales' older sister, only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes reveal a little of her real age.Edwin observed her for a while, but found nothing unusual. Lilian was indeed an ordinary human being, without any special blood.

"Thank you." He took the full teacup and put it in front of him, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Is Zals' father not at home? I heard that he had an accident, and I also want to visit him this time." him."

In fact, it was agreed to come here a long time ago, and he only heard Zals talk about it on the way, but there is really no need to tell her, this is a good excuse.

He had to see what kind of man Zars' father was.

"He's upstairs," Lilian said with a smile. "It's a bit fractured and he can't move easily, so I let him stay on the bed... Do you want to go upstairs and have a look? The baby's bedroom is also upstairs."

"Baby" was embarrassed when he heard the words, and said with difficulty: "I told you to stop calling me like that—"

Edwin rolled his eyes and smiled: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Zals was afraid that he would really visit his room, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked in front of him. After meeting Edwin's eyes, he saw the smile on the other's face, and said a word silently.

"Baby".

"..."

Zars felt that he had never been so ashamed in his life.

Lilian is a genuine appearance association. Before, because Grant was decent-looking, she casually accepted the door-to-door delivery of things. Now Edwin is no longer simply "good-looking". Her attitude is getting better and better, so that After pushing open his bedroom door, he changed his face to Bill on the bed: "Get up and have a look, the baby is back, and he brought his boss to visit you."

Edwin, who followed politely and didn't enter the door, couldn't help laughing when he heard the "baby". Zars had given up resisting, looked at him beggingly, and then walked in the door first.

Bill was leaning on the recliner in his pajamas, basking in the sun on the terrace. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "How are you doing? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Very good, how are your legs?"

Zars took his hand and knelt down to look at his injured leg.Because of the fracture, he had a thick plaster cast on his leg, and he couldn't move freely on the chair, so he had to sit and bask in the sun. The injury is not serious, but Bill is not young, so he should rest at home for a while to resume work.

The doctor's order relayed by Lilian was similar to what he thought. Zars chatted with them a few times and found that Edwin, who was waiting outside the door, hadn't come in yet, so he went out to look for him again.

"Why don't you go in?" He poked his head out to look at the other party in doubt.

Edwin was looking at the several photo frames hanging on the wall in the corridor, and he pointed to one of them to show him: "Where was this shot?"

Edwin took a look at his fingers. It was taken when he was taken out on a trip when he was very young. In the photo, he was still in his infancy, and the young Lilian was holding him, leaning against Bill's arms for comparison. A pair of scissorhands, the background is a historic site somewhere, all collapsed into a pile of ruins, he can't see where it is.

"I don't know either, just ask them."

He took down the photo frame, pulled Edwin through the door, introduced it to Bill and held up the photo: "When was this taken?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Lilian took the photo frame in his hand, glanced at it and said, "This is when you were eight months old, my family went on a trip together, and went..."

Her voice stopped suddenly, and she turned to ask Bill who was leaning on the chair: "Where did we go? Why can't I remember?"

Bill also frowned and shook his head, saying that he didn't remember.

Standing next to them, Edwin had confirmed that Bill was also an ordinary human being, so the problem probably lay in the photo he spotted at a glance.

Seeing him lower his head thoughtfully, Zars knew that it didn't matter if he couldn't ask, so he changed his words and said it was nothing but just suddenly curious, and told them a few interesting things about his childhood, and found an excuse to take Edwin down first. upstairs.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice on the stairs.

Edwin just shook his head, and said softly, "We'll talk about it when we go back, let's talk about business first."

Bill was still sitting upstairs, and of course they couldn't avoid each other because of the business they wanted to talk about, so they could only grab a drink and go upstairs as the excuse said, and returned to Bill and Lilian's bedroom.

"This time, besides visiting a doctor, I actually want to ask for the opinions of the two of you." Edwin took out the folder that he brought in with him, and placed it solemnly in front of them. "It may be a bit sudden, but you can take a look first. this."

Lilian froze for a moment, picked up the folder and opened it, looked up at him in shock after reading a few lines.

Edwin raised the corners of his mouth to show the most sincere smile, and explained: "I want to hire Zales as a long-term assistant, and the deadline is until I leave."
