Schutz III

Welf hurried across the vineyard to the main house.He walked outside Jacob's study and heard a familiar voice from inside.He hesitated for a while, and finally stopped outside the door, and withdrew the hand that was about to knock on the door.

In the study, Jacob looked helplessly at the woman sitting across from him.

"Samantha," he said as gently as possible, "you just listen to me and go back to Vienna as soon as possible!"

Samantha sat there quietly, looking at Jacob expressionlessly.Jacob turned his head away, "Samantha, Vienna will be better for your recovery."

Samantha sneered, "Master, don't you understand why I'm so weak now?" She put the tea cup in her hand heavily on the desk, "Since you have done such a thing, tell me now and let me go back to Vienna Go to self-cultivation, heh, I think it’s better to forget it!”

"Besides," she continued to stare at Jacob coldly, "do you really think I don't know anything about your plans?"

Jacob's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled, "Oh? What do you know?"

Samantha stopped talking.

"Samantha," Jacob got up and walked over, "I advise you to listen to me and leave early." He stood in front of Samantha, raised her chin with his fingers, and carefully studied Samantha's face "Tsk tsk," he sighed, "look at your face, it's so ugly!"

Samantha remained silent, but her eyes became sharper as she watched Jacob.

Jacob sneered, turned around and picked up his own cup of tea, took a sip and sighed, "The tea at home is getting more and more delicious!"

"Why didn't you say that your taste has become weirder! Look at what you have done!" Samantha became more and more excited, and her voice trembled at the end, "You are worthy of all the hardships you have done now. Are you the ancestors struggling to maintain the dignity of the family?" She stood up as she said this, and although she was shorter than Jacob, she still stared straight into his purple eyes, "Are you still worthy of being the master of the Suwell family now? !"

Jacob frowned in displeasure from the first sentence of Samantha, and at the end, he began to pace back and forth in front of the desk irritably, and finally stopped and said with a smile, "Then just talk about it." Hmm," he thought for a while with his right hand resting on his forehead, and then snapped his fingers, "yes, just tell me how I'm sorry for the family!" Then, before Samantha could speak, he took two steps forward to ask Said, "Say it quickly! Why don't you say it!"

"How can I feel sorry for the family?" He asked rhetorically, "I need to memorize the history of blood and tears of the family since I was a child, I have to learn the boring alchemy since I was a child, and I was instilled with the concept of revitalizing the family since I was a child!" His tone was excited, "Do you think it's great that you used your own strength to help the family through a crisis! And I, I have lived for the purpose of revitalizing the family since I was a child..." He showed a strange smile at Samantha, "How can I Are you sorry for the family?"

Samantha watched Jacob refute herself a little madly, and shook her head sadly, "Master, have you forgotten that the crisis of the family was caused by you?"

Jacob calmed down.

"You said you were all for the family, but," Samantha's brown eyes softened, "the method you used was inappropriate. At least, you shouldn't summon..."

"Stop talking!" Jacob interrupted Samantha, "I think I'm the head of the house." He twirled the ring on his hand, "So it's not your turn to talk about my affairs! Your return to Vienna ..."

"Master." Welf knocked on the door and walked in.

Jacob glanced at Welf and stopped talking; he looked at Samantha, "Go back first, Samantha."

Samantha nodded and walked out.When passing by Welf's side, his footsteps paused slightly, and he continued to walk forward.

Jacob sat back on the chair and looked at Welf, who bent over and lowered his head, with a smile on his lips, "What's the matter? Come to me at this time? Where are Schulz and the others?"

"Master, there is something I want to report to you."

Jacob picked up a pen and twirled it between his fingers, nodded slightly, "Say it."

Welf looked up, "Do you know which family that young master belongs to?"

"You mean... Shutz?"

"Yes." Welf replied, "The young master belongs to Leviathan."

The pen between his fingers stopped, and Jacob asked, "Can you say it again?"

"That young master is Shutz. Leviathan!"

"Really." Jacob nodded, with a smile on his face, "Then things will be much simpler!"

——————— Sight turned to Bath in the southwest of England—————

Villanova has been a little annoyed these two days. In fact, since he started serving as Leviathan's steward, he has never been so annoyed as he is now.After all, people who study alchemy generally don't care too much about money, what they care about most is the research results in the field of alchemy; in short, there are often some alternative scientific madmen in the family, and it takes a long time to retreat , so even if the patriarch in name has always been the shopkeeper, he is not very busy.But recently, Villanova remembered the latest survey on his desk, and became depressed.He didn't expect that the two sidelines would be so difficult to deal with, relying on the relatively concentrated money in his hands to hire a group of desperate mercenaries, but the family's private army is terrible...

Villanova sighed, he felt that it was necessary to tell Mr. Bai En beside the patriarch about this matter.During the same period, Ganchez had also received a letter from Schultz.After reading it carefully, he found Villanova with a serious expression and handed him the letter.

"What is this? Whose letter is it?" Villanova took it and was a little surprised when he saw the emblem on the envelope. "A letter from the patriarch? For me?"

"It's not for you." Gan Qisi shook his head, "But I think it's very necessary for you to know."

Villanova also concentrated his attention and began to read.After quickly scanning the entire letter, Villanova said, "I'm preparing to send a letter to Byrne later, and it seems that I'm going to write it right away."

Ganchesi said, "When do you think the Atlas of Thomas' Alchemy collected by the Suwell family was leaked?"

"It can't be in the thirteenth century," Villanova explained. "I knew it when Thomas wrote The Mysterious Atlas, and he started writing it in the middle of the fourteenth century."

"Then the most likely thing is that this "Mysterious Atlas" was only leaked in recent years. Moreover," Ganchez looked at Villanova, "judging from the recent actions of the two collateral branches, they I am well prepared for today, every three to five years is impossible. You said, could it be that the owners of these two collateral lines used this "Mysterious Atlas" to make some transactions?"

"Very likely." Villanova nodded, "I'll write to Byrne right now to ask him to pay attention to the recent situation of the Suwell family."

"Then I'll go back to the front, I'm afraid Palasasu won't be able to do it alone."

"Go." Villanova gave Ganchesi a self-evident look; Ganchesi left Bath in a daze.

——————————The dividing line between Bai Enjun and Sidi—————

It was already late at night when Byrne and Sidi returned, and the entire castle was eerily silent.After the two went upstairs, Byrne turned straight into Shutz's room regardless of Sidi's snickering.Schulz was already asleep, curled up on the bed like a giant chrysalis.Byrne pressed his forehead and pressed a kiss on Schulz's eyelid.Just as he was about to turn to leave, Schulz rolled over and his arms came out from under the covers.Byrne glanced at him, then sighed helplessly, and resigned to his fate, he raised Shutz's hand and covered his own.A burst of soft white light flashed, and the traces scratched by grape branches on Schulz's arms disappeared.Seeing the restored skin, Byrne was relieved.He sat down beside Shuzi's bed, playing with Shuzi's tangled long hair, but he was thinking about the news that Heji and Mu Nan brought him this afternoon.There is a war between the Leviathan collateral and the direct line, and the situation is not optimistic.It seems that I have to run for my young master again tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Schulz got the news that Byrne and Sidi both disappeared again.Schultz pursed his lips and said for a while, "Does their disappearance have anything to do with me?"

Blaise and Nicole had to laugh helplessly.Whether it matters or not is not something to talk about, young man.But the two of them also know not to overdo it, especially when Schultz's face tends to freeze.

So Nicole took advantage of the situation to change the subject, "Ansai is such a cute boy."

"Really?" Schulz looked at her, "How long have you been with him, and you have already started to speak good words for him."

Nicole pouted, "Some people just get along with each other based on feelings! When I saw him, I thought we were very compatible!"

"Okay, why not!" Shutz said, "It's just that you didn't feel this way when you saw him, you were captured when you saw his shy smile!"

"Hey, it's about the same!"

At breakfast, Nicole took the initiative to change seats with Schultz, and then smiled at Ansai.Ansai first secretly glanced at Jacob, seeing that Jacob was not looking at him, he carefully smiled back at Nicole.Schulz couldn't bear the foolish laughter of the two early in the morning, so he knocked on Nicole slightly, and Nicole turned around and gave Schultz an angry look.Shutz shrugged and enjoyed breakfast without any burden.

As for Jacob on the opposite side, he was looking at Shutz in a daze.He remembered the scene when he approached the elders of the Leviathan family.What the elders of Leviathan were most angry about was that such a huge alchemy family, the patriarch turned out to be just a child who was not very outstanding in alchemy, but this child could enjoy nearly 80% of the family's resources; The old monsters who have lived for thousands of years can accept it, and they are very happy to accept it; however, the collateral members who have not made much achievements in the field of alchemy cannot accept it. They are not like the direct alchemists who focus on academics. They also don't know the origin of the family, so it is reasonable that they want to overthrow Leviathan's current system and re-establish a more fair and reasonable family resource distribution system.What Jacob remembered very clearly was that the chief Leviathan was a man named Shutz.Children of Leviathan.
