Public Enemy of the Continent Reborn

The end of the year in 10277 in the continental calendar

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed since the funeral of Irene Collins, Duchess of Farien.

When the season went from summer to autumn, and then from autumn to winter, people's feelings of remembering and paying homage to the dead gradually faded, and some discussions that had been faintly circulated in the aristocratic circle gradually surfaced.

The protagonists of the topic are none other than the two young masters of the Faruien family ── Leon, the concubine son who is fifteen years old and is now a fifth-level swordsman; Adrian, the legitimate son who just turned four years old.

The concubine has become a good man, but the concubine is born with a heart disease and can't even breathe a few breaths. This kind of structure of concubine strong and concubine weak will mean the hidden danger of inheritance disputes in any family, not to mention that Duke Farien has always loved it. The concubine, and the only reliance of the legitimate son Adrian, Mrs. Irene, has passed away?

In the eyes of others, the only son of the Faruien family who beat his brother-in-law was the other half of his bloodline and status.

But even this difference in lineage and status is not absolute.

──Because the woman who had an affair with Alphard Farien back then was not an oiran from the Gold Cave, nor was she a little wild flower from a commoner background.That woman—Serina Catrange—was born in the Earl of Catrange in the southwest of Vonton. She is not only a real earl's daughter, but also a powerful warrior who is now approaching the threshold of sanctification. Ninth-level samurai.

In terms of aristocratic pedigree and influence on the Vatican court, Catrange may be far inferior to Collins; but a powerful biological mother and an uncle's family who are separated from each other are naturally closer to the former. more reliable.

Once Serena breaks through the barrier of sanctification, even if she is not husband and wife with Duke Farien, no one will regard it as a shortcoming of Leon's origin—not to mention that Leon himself seems to have inherited his mother's martial arts talent.

In fact, although he did not speak out because he was concerned about the face of the Collins family, in the eyes of the entire imperial capital, it was an inevitable result for Leon to replace his direct brother as the first heir to the Duke's mansion.

Also because of this, no matter how much Leon behaved, no matter how much he kept his duty and spoiled his younger brother, few people believed that he was sincere, and more people regarded it as the scheming of this bastard with a subtle position. , Proof of kindness, forbearance.

Only those who are really familiar with Leon—such as some classmates who were abused by him to the point of death—know that this person is really crazy about his brother, not only carrying his brother's crystal with him all the time Shi Xianying never deviates from "Adrian" in his speeches, and the opening words of every meeting are "Let me tell you, what happened to Adrian yesterday", and he has to get the expression of approval from the listener before he is willing to let it go.If it weren't for Adrian's cuteness and cuteness, it would be hard for people to feel any resentment. I'm afraid that these people who are harassed every day might really take their anger out on the innocent parties.

But Leon, who looks serious on the outside and loves his younger brother to death, doesn't care about the feelings of his bad friends being tortured and brainwashed.He just practiced earnestly and attended classes seriously as always, and then kept harassing his friends with "how can my brother be so cute" during breaks such as get out of class and lunch break.In this way, it was not until the end of the last class that he waved goodbye to his friends who said "get out of here", and returned to the Duke's mansion happily with a straight face.

"Adrian!"

Accompanied by the necessary greeting after returning home from school every day, when Leon entered the door, the first thing that caught his eye was his little brother who was dangling on the flannel chair in the front porch, waiting for his return...Looking at those beautiful golden eyes in the The moment he saw himself suddenly lit up like a spar street lamp after nightfall, Leon felt a warmth surge in his heart, and the anger accumulated in his chest due to the vague rumors in the academy disappeared. He stretched his arms and picked him up, bowed his head and kissed his younger brother's cheek with full of joy and love:

"Did you miss your brother today?"

"have."

Adrian nodded slightly, although his tone didn't mean to be coquettish, but the soft and crisp voice sounded so cute, Leon couldn't help but rubbed his brother's cheek again until he was pregnant. The villain in the picture struggled slightly before reluctantly stopping, and carried his younger brother all the way back to the living room.

Austin, the old butler, also followed the two brothers and walked in holding a walnut tray inlaid with silver thread.

"Master Leon, this is the invitation I received today. I have divided it into three stacks according to the relatives of each family. Please reply and make a decision. In addition, the new year is approaching, and the list of visits and gift list should be drawn up in advance."

Gently placing the wooden tray neatly arranged with invitations, letters and letter openers on the coffee table in front of the young man, the old man bowed slightly and said, "Also, the letter next to it is delivered just now, from Baroness Catrange. Letter. Judging by the messenger's performance, the matter seems a little urgent."

"okay, I get it."

Leon was very aware of the ability of the old housekeeper, so he didn't say much at the moment, he reached for his mother's letter and opened it for his younger brother who was still in his arms without shy away from reading it.

──The Duke of Farien is still leading the army outside, and the ancestors that the family relies on are anxiously retreating to seek a breakthrough because the time limit is approaching. Therefore, the two brothers are the only ones who can be regarded as the masters in the Duke's mansion. .Although according to the tradition of the Nuter Continent, even the 15-year-old Leon is not yet old enough to be the head of the house, but if there are any matters in the mansion that the servants cannot decide on their own, they can only be handed over to the older Leon. idea.

Of course, Mrs. Irene has controlled the Duke's Mansion for many years, and those who can personally serve the master are her confidantes. Therefore, many people, including the butler Austin, are devoted to Adrian. To Leon who is likely to endanger the status of the young master Naturally, there is some hostility... It's just that Leon made such a statement when he entered the mansion, and then he behaved like he really loved his younger brother, and he saw that the always bright and transparent young master Adrian was close to him The trust was added, which made Austin reluctantly relax, and handed over the big and small matters that needed to be decided in the mansion to the other party.

Just like now.

Looking at the mother's bold and bold cursive characters in the letter as always, and the content in the letter that made people look forward to it, Leon sighed slightly, and handed the letter to his younger brother who was staring at the content curiously, feeling a little embarrassed opened his mouth:

"Adrian, I don't know how much you know about your brother and mother..."

"Brother's mother? Aunt Serena?"

"Hmm. You know?"

"I know. I haven't met her, but my mother told me that Aunt Serena is my brother's mother and her best friend. She also said that if you really encounter difficulties in the future and don't know who to trust, you can find Aunt Serena to help."

"real……?"

Unexpectedly, he would get this answer from his younger brother. Leon, who was still hesitant about how to explain it, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then smiled in relief—but with a bit of helplessness:

"Actually...she said she would come to visit, and according to the time stated in this letter, she will probably arrive tomorrow."

"Auntie wants to see brother?"

"Uh, actually, I think she wants to see Adrian more! Several of the development crystals you sent before were taken away by her and she refused to return them."

Recalling the "tragic experience" of the past, the boy gritted his teeth extremely rarely, "Also...Adrian doesn't need to call her 'auntie', just 'Serina'."

"what?"

"Hmm... She said she was still young and didn't want to grow up, so she always wanted me to call her 'Selina' instead of mom."

In fact, the lady's original words were "My lady has worked so hard to raise you up, how can you have the heart to hinder my spring", but Leon, who is still an ordinary teenager despite his brother-loving attributes, is somewhat hard to say about this, so I still I chose a more tactful way to express it.

And in exchange for these words, there was an unconcealable surprised expression on the face of the child in her arms, a pair of golden eyes that were slightly widened because of this... and a faintly strange recognition in the depths of her heart.

──Although the elder brother is a little speechless about his mother's taboo, as a pseudo-infant with a soul age of more than 1000 years, Adrian actually... quite understands the other's feelings.

After all, when people live to a certain age, they often want to escape some of the facts represented by age—such as the deadline that comes step by step with the passage of time, and the distance between people around them and themselves.

Even he was not spared.

Before becoming a demigod, even though he was still a long way from the end of his life, he still couldn't help being vigilant day and night; When he got his mind, he inevitably cared about each other's master-student status, his age enough to be an ancestor of unknown generations...and his appearance that stayed forever at that moment because he was only sanctified at the age of five or sixty.

Because of this, even though there was a slight pain in his chest due to the memory, Adrian still couldn't help but feel a little fond of the woman he had never met.

──Your Excellency the demigod, who even the ancestors of the Faruien family can only regard him as their ancestor, will naturally not have any resistance or discomfort when calling the other person by their first name.

So after thinking for a moment with his head slightly sideways, the child nodded calmly:

"I see, brother. Is Serena coming alone? If not, the mansion needs to make more preparations."

"She said in the letter that she would bring a friend and savior who was on an adventure with her to visit, so there are two people in total..."

Saying that, Leon raised his head and nodded to Austin who was standing beside him, "I'll trouble you to prepare, Austin."

"It is my honor, Master Leon."

After returning the salute respectfully but not unfamiliar, the old butler turned around and left the living room to go.As for the two brothers who were still in the living room, they opened the invitation together, chatting with you and me about the trivial matters of the day──

At this moment, Adrian still doesn't know what kind of earth-shaking changes the "friend" mentioned in the woman's letter will bring to his supposedly peaceful dormant life──

──Even based on Adrian's hundreds of years of experience, Serena Catrange is a rare and strange woman.

This noble daughter of an earl has shown extraordinary talent and independent character in martial arts since she was a child. She not only persuaded her father to cancel the bridal course that ordinary noble daughters take, but also directly chose to marry her as an adult. After many years of wandering and traveling around as an adventurer, she won the title of "Flaming Rose" in the mercenary world by virtue of her outstanding force and appearance.Now that she is 34 years old, she is already a real ninth-level warrior. Although she has not yet entered the holy level, she is also recognized as a strong person on the mainland.In particular, she has already reached level nine in her early thirties, and her future prospects are quite promising, so no matter how deviant her behavior is, few people dare to make her look bad in person.

Of course, this flame rose wouldn't care even if people were being sarcastic and vulgar and not feminine in person.

After all, she was a strong woman who would rather have children out of wedlock than "accommodate" Alphard Farion.

The bad relationship between Serena and Duke Farien can be traced back to a final test that Serena had done 16 years ago.

At that time, the content of the final exam received by Serena, who had already reached level six, and her fellow elite students was to assist the military in an escort mission.And the military person in charge of this mission was Alfad Farien, who was only the heir of the duke back then.

From the equally outstanding appearances of the two half-brothers Leon and Adrian, it can be seen that Alphad, the father, is definitely not much different in appearance.Especially 16 years ago, Alphard was only a young military officer in his early twenties, with a deep and handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure, the appearance alone was already very attractive to young girls with romantic thoughts. What's more, he comes from a military family with a calm personality and decisive actions. Comparing with the boys of the same age around Serena, he has a clear opinion. Naturally, Serena, who has always been independent and leading, can't help but feel a little girlish. .

Then, during the nearly two months of missions, they fell in love with each other for a long time, and finally because of a near-death adventure, the young girl did something stupid that she still regrets until now.

Although Serena has been an independent and assertive girl since she was a child, and in the eyes of some people, she can even be called a rebellious girl, but she is not a casual person.So after a one-night stand, she, who has always been independent and decisive, couldn't hide her shame, but she still took the initiative to ask Alphard about the future of the two of them—what she didn't want was an answer that made her thunder from the blue.

Alphad said there was no way he would marry her.

He said that as the legal heir of the duke, it was impossible for him to marry a woman from a small family—Selina concealed her identity when she entered the school—and said that they could maintain their lover relationship first, and wait for Serena to graduate Directly becoming his personal female officer, even without the title of Duchess Faruen, the two can always be together... The tone of the man's words was not at all apologetic, as if this was a natural arrangement .But in the ears of Selina, who has always been confident and inevitably a little arrogant, it is undoubtedly a pot of cold water being poured on her head.

Because of Alphard's decision, and also because of the fundamental character and values ​​behind this decision.

The man didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.

Serena was born in the aristocratic circle, of course she knew that there were countless men who had such thoughts—even women—but she didn’t expect that the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with was actually one of those people.

At most, it's just a better appearance and a personality that suits her taste.

Although her personality is in a hurry, such an independent and decisive woman who knows what she wants will naturally not foolishly "give it up" after discovering a mistake—even if she tells Alphard about her background and became a Duchess, who knows if this man will say similar things to other women after marriage?So although she was heartbroken and annoyed, she still rejected his "invitation" immediately after slapping Alphard, and severed the relationship between the two.

But what she didn't expect anyway was: that bastard man was quite good, and he just had a good time overnight, so that Serena, who had been comforting herself that she was "bitten by a dog", won the bid.

But Serena chose to face the mistakes and take responsibility, took a year off from school, returned to Catrange and gave birth to the child.

She didn't tell Alpha de Leon about the existence. First, she was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble to the female partner around him; The teaching is crooked.Relying on extraordinary perseverance and the assistance of her parents, she successfully completed her studies with her children. It was not until Leon was five years old that she officially registered as an adventurer, and she began to take risks everywhere. At most one person a year Yue stays at home with his son.

As a mother, Serena may not be very competent, but her love for Leon is unquestionable, and Leon has always been very close to her.Relying on expensive alchemy magic props, even if Serena is away, the mother and son can chat a few words from time to time; and when Serena is at home, she will personally teach Leon to practice martial arts, or catch him like an ordinary lady. Drinking afternoon tea with her son, the content of the chat was her various experiences of going out on adventures... With the mother’s open-mindedness, self-confidence and self-improvement as an example, and the upright but free-spirited grandfather personally taught him, it’s no wonder that Leon would He has the character he has today.

Leon is living well in the Catrange family, and has been designated by his grandfather as the second heir to the title—naturally, the only daughter, Serena—is the first in line—ordinarily, the Ryan family should not be able to do so in this life. something.But as Serena's reputation gradually spread, Alphard, who had inherited the title, discovered the true identity of the beautiful figure in his heart, and found out that she had given birth to a child for him. After thinking about it for a while, he took Bouquets of flowers and countless gifts came to the door, asking Earl Caterange to marry Serena.

Of course Serena would not agree.

The momentary love back then has long since faded away, leaving only the impression of "this man is really shameless" in her heart, and the development of things undoubtedly confirmed her understanding of Alphard once again.It's just that Leon has half of that bastard's blood after all, so it's a bit self-deceiving to prevent their father and son from communicating, so after Serena tells Leon the cause and effect of the matter and the possible interests, it will belong to the Farien family's decision-making power. Handed it over to his son.

Leon didn't have any likes or dislikes towards this father, but he didn't want to add unnecessary trouble, so he didn't really want to recognize this father at first.Alphard, who was only rejected, later accepted a political marriage with the Collins family and married Irene Collins, who was Serena's junior sister and good friend in college. He was sick, and in order to protect his child's life after his death, he begged his friends to persuade Leon to return to Faruien's house, so that Adrian could have an older brother who could take care of him.

──This "background knowledge" was only asked by Adrian last night from his brother's mouth, and he made up the rough part with his own experience.

He didn't intend to comment on the various entanglements between his parents and elders, but he appreciated Serena's character more and more when he was grateful for his mother's spare no effort to care for him.Therefore, even though Leon didn't want him to be too tired, Adrian got up early like his elder brother who took a day off, and waited for Serena and the others after confirming all the arrangements in the mansion. arrival.

After all, Adrian's soul has the status of a demigod. Although his strength is limited by his body, the level of his own existence and the accompanying perception and detection capabilities are still far beyond anyone. When he visited Serrell at night, the latter didn't find the reason for his strange behavior—even if he didn't do it deliberately, the whole De La Chaer was under his perception.In other words, as long as Adrian has the heart, most of the privacy or secrets of this imperial capital are invisible to him.

Of course, if you really receive and analyze all the information you can get at all times, with Adrian's current mental and physical strength, he will definitely be unable to support him.So most of the time, he adjusts his perception in a state of passive triggering, and only when certain conditions—such as spatial fluctuations and energy changes of a certain scale—will he be noticed.And among these conditions, there is no doubt that there is a spontaneous vigilance against the strong.

So when the energy group that symbolized the strength of the holy level entered De La Chaer, Adrian was immediately alert.At that moment, he closed his eyes pretending to be tired and leaned his head into Leon's arms beside him, but his mind had already sunk into perception, and traced back to the source to condense on that strange holy-level powerhouse.

This move was just a routine response.But what he didn't expect anyway was that when he further concentrated his perception to examine the other party, what he felt was a higher-level soul wave that didn't match the holy-level energy.

A soul wave that belonged to a legendary master and he was extremely familiar with.

──That's...Serrell.

Realizing this, Adrian's heart tightened, and the familiar pain spread across his chest, but it was more intense than the usual resentment, but it came out instantly after realizing that the strength of the other party's body did not match the state of the soul. Anxiety──He almost subconsciously thought of his own similar situation, and after thinking about the hidden meaning of such a situation, his face paled instantly.

──His soul level does not match his strength, he was reborn because of death; what about Serrell?

──Could it be... In the short period of time between the reunion a few months ago and the present, something happened to that child somewhere that he didn't know, so that...?

Thinking of this, even though Adrian knew that the apprentice's soul still existed in this world well, and everything would have a chance to be redeemed, he still couldn't help being agitated by the various speculations in his mind, and his supposedly steady breathing suddenly changed. The heart rate is rapid and the heart rate also loses speed.He felt a shock that tore through his heart and lungs and continuously invaded his whole body like a tidal wave, making him realize that he couldn't go on like this, but before he could control himself, he lost consciousness one step before he could not bear it, and just fell from his brother's arms like this Planted over.

"Adrian!"

Unexpectedly, his younger brother, who was napping peacefully in his arms a moment ago, would suddenly fall ill. Although Leon caught the child's small body that almost fell to the ground at the critical moment, he still gave him a pale face and a body drenched in cold sweat. Completely startled, he quickly picked up his brother's limp body, and rushed to the nearest bedroom while calling for the housekeeper and the therapist──As for the upcoming "guest", he was so full of worries that only his brother was left The boy completely forgot about it.

──So when Serena finally brought that "friend" to Duke Farien's mansion, not only did she not get the expected welcome, but she was also turned away.Fortunately, both of them are experienced people, and they guessed that something must have happened in the mansion when they turned their minds. Serena immediately thought of the heart disease of her friend's son, and she couldn't care about her companions when she was in a hurry With proper etiquette, he jumped over the gate and rushed towards the main building.

As Mrs. Irene's former friend and the biological mother of Master Leon, people in the Duke's Mansion naturally knew this flaming rose, which was well-known in the mercenary world.So when someone suddenly opened the gate of the museum, the guards were shocked first, and then put down their vigilance after recognizing the person; a few clever people immediately went to Serena to lead the way and explained the situation, so that While she arrived at her destination without hindrance, she also had a simple understanding of the current situation.

It’s just that it’s one thing to understand, and another thing to face it——when I saw with my own eyes the young body on the big bed that was still pale and short of breath under the light of the healing technique, even if I was used to life and death like Serena , I couldn't help holding my breath for an instant, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of distress and powerlessness.

Because of her helplessness.

Judging from the light covering the child's body, the healer who is currently treating Adrian has at least level [-], even in De La Ciel, he can be regarded as a senior professional, but the healing effect on the child has no effect. It can have the desired effect, but it is just trying to maintain the child's life as much as possible, but it can't alleviate the root cause that is eroding the child's life... If this continues, unless a successor can be found or someone who is proficient in the Great Restoration Technique is invited Once the therapist's mental power is exhausted, no matter how difficult it is to maintain the vitality of the child on the bed, there will naturally be only one result.

And this result was unbearable to Leon, who was holding his younger brother's little hand tightly by the bed, or Serena, who was carrying a friend's entrustment.

Looking at the fragile toddler on the big bed who seemed to die at any time, and her own son who kept calling "Adrian" with a faint crying sound, she felt sore and turned around to leave the mansion to seek help. Unexpectedly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him at this moment:

"Don't stop the healing. I have a solution, let me do it."

Compared with the desolation and urgency that filled the whole room, the voice composed of that voice was gentle and steady, as if it contained absolute self-confidence, as if such a tense situation was actually very normal in his eyes, and he even thought about it by the bedside. Leon, who was paying attention to his younger brother's condition, couldn't help being led to follow the prestige; Serena, who was next to the visitor, turned her head as if suddenly remembering something, and showed a mixed surprise after seeing the person who caught her eye. expression:

"Eli? Are you really...?"

"Hmm... don't worry, it's fine."

As he said that, the person who came—the Lord of Pei Du, who was wearing the shell of "Eli Winster", had already walked across the room to the bedside, and the blond boy beside him looked at him half suspiciously and half expectantly. First cast a soothing technique on the child to relax the mind, and then raised his arm to embrace the limp and sweaty little body of the child on the bed, opened the child's lips and teeth lightly with his fingers, and put the medicine anchor prepared in advance into it. sublingual in children.

And even though Leon was sweating profusely, he still stared straight at every movement of the other party, as if he was afraid that the other party would do something that would not be good for his younger brother, but there was a trace of unspeakable The urgency and longing... After these few movements, it wasn't until the silver-haired silver-eyed man finished feeding the medicine and put his brother's body back in place that he relaxed a little and returned his eyes to his brother.

──In such a situation where you don't even know who the other party is, it is a very risky and stupid thing to rashly accept the other party's treatment and medicine.It's just that Leon has no other choice at the moment, and seeing that the silver-haired and silver-eyed man in front of him seems to be trusted by his mother, he suppressed his doubts and uneasiness and handed over his younger brother temporarily, waiting for the verdict. moment.

Fortunately, he didn't take the risk wrong.

Although the effect was not obvious at the beginning, as time passed, Adrian's breathing became steady little by little, and his complexion gradually returned to its proper rosiness under the effect of the healing technique.If it weren't for the still sweaty clothes and slightly frowning eyebrows, the child's eyes closed and sleeping quietly on the bed could even be called peaceful... Seeing this, the healer who knew that it was almost done immediately stopped healing and cast A detection spell, and nodded to Leon after confirming the result:

"Master Leon, Master Adrian is fine, just need to rest more."

"Well... you have worked hard today. Austin, please prepare a room for the master to rest; Anis, you stay here to take care of Adrian, remember to help him change his wet clothes and sheets."

According to the therapist's judgment, Leon's heart relaxed after hanging for a long time, and he felt that his whole body was almost exhausted in an instant, but due to the current situation, he still made some arrangements with all his strength, and then he was relieved by his mother. There was a slight wry smile in his gratified eyes, and he gestured to invite Serena and her younger brother's savior, who has not been named until now, to talk outside.

And all these emotional changes and actions and responses naturally entered Serrell's eyes, who had been watching intently.

──Although I don't know why the child suddenly fell ill today, but Leon's concern for Adrian is unquestionable. It seems that the drama of the rivalry between the sons and daughters he was worried about before will not be staged for the time being... It's just that the child only once The onset of the disease was almost seduced by the god of death, but it made people feel more and more uneasy.

After all... If he hadn't considered this in advance and used his previous knowledge and information from the Mage Tower to make the medicine, even if the child could be saved, he would have suffered a lot... Thinking of this, Even though he couldn't embrace that small and fragile body majestically due to his status, Serrell still took a deep look at that delicate little face before following Serrell closely under the leadership of the blond boy. Lina left the bedroom.

──When Adrian woke up from a deep sleep, the first thing he felt was the exhaustion all over his body, and the lingering pain in his chest.

Not just physically, but also spiritually.

It was precisely because of this pain that he, who was still a little confused at the beginning, was slightly shocked, and all the moments before he passed out came to his mind, but before another wave of emotional ups and downs that could take his life was aroused, he was shocked. The soothing fluctuation eased.

The reason why Adrian would be distracted by what he speculated before was nothing more than the sudden occurrence of the incident, and he lost his normal mind due to being too stunned, so that he fell ill and fainted before he even had time to control his emotions... Now there is that With the help of a strange fluctuation, he was already prepared in his heart, even though the lingering fear in his chest caused by that conjecture still remained, his originally dazed head gradually regained its due clarity.Following the guidance of that fluctuation, he sank into meditation to further control himself, until his state of mind was almost empty and calm, then he turned to let go of his perception and explored the surrounding situation bit by bit.

And...the root cause of his confusion before.

──But what Adrian never expected was that just as his perception was unfolding, he detected the soul fluctuation that he was all too familiar with in the small living room just one wall away from him.In the same room with him was his familiar elder brother, and a strange soul with level nine strength.

And he didn't even have to think to understand what that meant.

──That strange ninth-level soul is undoubtedly Serena Catrange who is scheduled to arrive at the Duke's Mansion today; and judging from the current situation, most of the "companions" mentioned in Serena's letter are at this moment I don't know why there is only Serel with the strength of the holy level.

In other words, it was Serrell who had changed into a holy body—after all, the form of energy flow of the person next door was very different from Serrell's original body.

It's just that Adrian knew his apprentice well, so how could he think that the other party's "visit" was just by chance or by chance?

Not to mention the strange fluctuation that is covering the whole body at this moment, constantly comforting and stabilizing the mind.

Thinking of this, the child's half-opened golden eyes flashed with struggle and bitterness, but the little hand that was resting on the side had followed the perception to find the source of the strange fluctuation, and lightly touched a piece that was hung up at some time. A small drop-shaped pendant around his neck.

With his knowledge, he naturally understood the composition and function of this pendant "at a glance".

The body of the pendant is smelted from pure gold with spiritual power secret method.Strands of intertwined gold threads seem to be a simple decorative pattern, but they are actually an extremely delicate and hidden magic formation, which includes three levels of energy gathering, transformation, and release. The core of Zilingjing can continuously release energy fluctuations that soothe and calm the mind.

In other words, as long as you wear this pendant, you will feel as if there is a spiritual mage constantly releasing soothing spells by your side.As long as the main body is not destroyed or enters the forbidden area, the magic circle will continue to operate, so there is no need to worry about a day when the energy is exhausted.

This is a magical item that can be called a legendary level regardless of the craftsmanship and materials, but its purpose is very single, just to stabilize the wearer's emotions... As far as Adrian knows, there are many magic items in the entire Nutai continent today. There is only one person who has the ability to design and construct a rigorous but self-contained magic array in such a small space, and at the same time, it can also be concealed.

The inheritor he cultivated with all his strength, the master of Pei Du, Serrell Clancy.

This pendant was made by Serel himself.

Serena's unexpected visit.

A magic item completely refined for his heart disease.

And... the self who had a sudden heart attack but was still safe and sound.

──The answer is already obvious.

From the very beginning, his speculation about what happened to him was completely wrong.Although I don't know what Serel's current situation is, but judging from the child's relationship with Serena and even visiting the Duke's mansion together, this "situation" is not so much an accident as it is It's a design—a design that facilitates the actions of the now-famous Public Enemy of the Mainland.In addition, the pendant hanging on his neck at the moment will take a lot of time from design to refining, and in this order, it is easier to regenerate than Serel because of some accident, and By chance, Serena came to the Duke's Mansion, and it is obviously more reasonable to presume that everything is planned by the apprentice.

And the root of this arrangement... I have to push it back to that unexpected encounter more than three months ago.

problem
