I Don’t Love Warlock

Chapter 2: Unexpected choice

   Is it right now? Leo felt very surprised, his mouth wide open and he didn't know what to say. He originally thought that if he wanted to regain his power, he would have to stage a 120-episode Gongdou drama.

   "You were surprised? But not in ecstasy? It seems that the only offspring left by my dear Lane is not such a shallow person."

Mrs. Lane showed interest in her eyes, and no desire to eat, wiped her hand, she got up and nodded to Leo and said, "Come with me. Someone will come over tomorrow. I have to talk to you for some things. Let me explain."

  Leo immediately followed, and the two walked silently in the stairwell. The servants saw both of them saluting.

   It was Mrs. Lane who broke the silence, and couldn't hear the angry question: "I saw the accident in your eyes just now. Can you tell me what you were up to?"

  Leo shook his heart, and suddenly felt very embarrassed. You can't even just say why you didn't seize power, right? But thinking about the experience of the past few days, Leo vaguely felt that the baroness might be very different from what she had imagined. He gritted her teeth and simply said her thoughts bluntly.

"So you have this concern... Actually it's not a mistake, most of the ladies probably won't be as straightforward as I am. But... you don't know about some things." Mrs. Lane took a deep look at Leo's silence. Eye, it happened to be in the master bedroom of the castle at this time. She didn't say anything, opened the door and walked into the master bedroom, sent away the maid who was sorting things inside, and motioned Leo to follow.

   Leo frowned and walked slowly into the master bedroom. Mrs. Lane carefully closed the door and locked it, and then walked to a wall in the bedroom. After touching it a few times, suddenly the wall cracked strangely.

   Mechanism? Secret room? Leo was taken aback, and he didn't understand Mrs. Lane's thoughts. Now that she has no foundation in the castle, Mrs. Lane wants to hold authority without any effort at all. But now it seems that she hasn't even concealed herself from the secret room, is she really going to give her power to herself?

As Mrs. Lane took the lead and walked inside, she explained in a low voice: "This is the most important secret room of the Gresch family, where some of the most precious items of the family are stored. It is also the second year after I got married that Lane told me. Other than that. In addition, there is a well-known warehouse in the castle, which is filled with things that are often used or rewarded to servants or soldiers under his command. The key is in my hand and the other is in the hands of the butler Frey."

   Leo followed her in while nodding his head, looking around, full of curiosity. If Mrs. Lane wanted to kill herself, she couldn't use this method at all, so he walked in the tunnel very relaxed.

This is a deep and slanting passage, and Mrs. Lane kept pressing around the passage, while explaining the reason for doing so: "These institutions can not only kill rash intruders, but also guard the secret room on our behalf. When it reaches an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, it will also activate a self-destructive mechanism, leaving the opponent with nothing. So you carefully remember the opening method, and you must not make a mistake. Next time, it will be you alone. "

  Leo quickly remembered silently, until the end of the passage, a small room appeared in front of it, about ten square meters in size, and there were very few things. Five boxes, one shelf. Mrs. Lane picked up a strange piece of paper from the shelf, handed it to Leo, and said with a serious expression: "Take it, this is the oath document, which was refined by the sorcerer of Earl Padding, and it has your father Lane's on it. There are three copies of the blood mark. One is left at Earl Padin, and the other is in a secret place known only by Ryan. Now he can't find it anymore. The last one is in the secret room, which is the one in your hand. ."

Seeing Leo accepting the paper in doubt, Mrs. Lane slowly explained: "This is the key to the succession of the title. You must use your blood to resonate with the blood left by Lane on it to reveal the secret words inside. At times of crisis, The successor can even lose everything, but as long as there is a secret, as long as the loyal nobles still exist, the title can be restored in theory."

"But I don't recommend you to do this, because the secret language can be forced to ask, which will leave doubts, which is not good for the future. Anyway, at the next funeral, Earl Padin will definitely send someone over, and you will be in front of everyone at the funeral. The key is to smear your blood on the document in front of the people sent by Earl Padding to unlock the secret words. In this way, the fact that you are of the direct blood of Ryan is irrefutable, and you won’t be able to do so in the future. Someone made a fuss about this."

Leo nodded and said that he understood. He took the paperwork and hid it carefully. After being silent for a while, he raised his doubts about the way: "Madam, you haven't answered me yet, why did you take all this so easily and without hesitation? Give it to me? What if I am not of Baron Ryan's blood? Or, I am not the only blood of Baron Ryan outside?"

   Mrs. Lane looked at Leo, and suddenly laughed out loud. She laughed a few times before explaining: "You may not have met your biological father, Ryan? If you have met him, you won't have this doubt. I can say that, UU看书www.uukanshu.com When you were young, you were a little bit short of Ryan. You both have straight noses, thick eyebrows, wide lips and chins. The only difference is that Ryan’s eyes are firm, while your eyes are full of confusion. In short, It's very similar. As for Ryan, there are other bloodline issues outside? There is no secret between Ryan and I, unless he doesn't even know it. I think it should be no different from not having it."

   That's how it is, it does look very similar. Leo understood the reason, but the main doubt was still unanswered, so he thought about it and asked: "Then, you can rest assured to leave everything to me? Changed to other noble ladies, even if it is the blood of the husband, it will never be the case. Give up all this easily, right?"

Mrs. Lane took a deep look at Leo, sighed and said: "I can indeed continue to control power like other noble ladies, and even secretly annex all assets except land, leaving only an empty shell for you. But you have to be thankful that I am different from them."

With a look of nostalgia on Mrs. Lane’s face, she sighed and said, “I’m not the kind of woman who depends on her husband to live. I used to be an adventurer, and Lane met through adventures. , Not the kind of popular political marriage. I promised Ryan that I would help him flourish the Gresch family, and naturally I would give you everything. Besides..."

   At this point, Mrs. Lane stopped talking, her eyes were full of thick gray and endless haze. She tried to close her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had recovered her calm, and said to Leo: "Okay, the main thing is told to you, let's leave first."

   At this time, Leo remembered about the knights, and quickly said, "Please be slow, madam, I want to ask, does the family have any books on cultivation power? For example, the knight training method?"
