Chapter 175 Undercurrent
In the luxurious and elegant study, Prince Karuin sat on the smooth animal skin sofa, holding the exquisite tea set in his left hand, and a spoon in his right hand slowly stirring the clear black tea. He was listening to the report from the guard standing in front of him, but he could not see any expression from his side face, which was shining by the afterglow of the sunset from the window.
"... At present, we can only find out that Mu Yun was rescued on his way home from Miss Sereya's training last year. He was a man from the Hurst family. The family had just moved to Falling Star City. Their information was still under investigation. Except for Mu Yun, everyone else was killed by a third-level necromancer. And according to the information, Mu Yun didn't know whether it was because of amnesia or not because he was not a person here, so he could not communicate normally in common terms. He lived in Miss Sereya's house for about a month before going to the royal city to participate in the academy assessment."
The guard bent over and looked at Karuin with a look. Seeing that Karuin didn't say anything, he continued carefully: "The only specific information at present is Miss Sereya and her father. Should I ask Baron Forman..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Karuin, who was looking at the black tea in front of him, raised his eyelids and looked at him, and his words to continue stopped.
"You guys solve it yourself."
"Yes!" The guard understood what Karuin meant, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Then this Mu Yun..."
"You don't have to worry about other things. If you have new information, report to me. Go down." After saying that, Karuin lowered his head again and looked at the black tea that formed a vortex as it stirred.
"yes!"
When the guard heard Karuin's order, he saluted again, took a few steps back before turning around and leaving. As the sound of closing the door sounded, the study room became quiet again.
There was only one last small dot left in the sunset in the sky, as if trying to use the last light to dye the earth a layer of blood red. Karuin raised his arm, took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and then spoke after putting it down.
"Hurst family? I haven't heard of it. I can't even say the common words on the mainland. That's interesting. Dark Crow, what do you think?"
There was silence in Karuin's study at this time. If the guards were still here and heard Karuin's words, he would definitely feel creepy. There was still someone here at this time.
As Karuin finished speaking, a shadow in the corner of the wall next to him twisted, and a figure in black clothes walked out of the shadow. He wore a black hood on his head, and even his entire face was blocked by a piece of black cloth. His specific age was not visible. Only a pair of green eyes made the sunset look red as he walked out.
"Report to Your Highness, as a noble, it is impossible to know the common term. If this person did not deliberately conceal his identity, then he would probably be someone from the other side of the sea."
"Is it from the other side of the sea?" The man named Dark Crow told his judgment in a hoarse voice, and Karuin seemed to be accustomed to his voice. After hearing him say it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was a little cold, "I was exterminated by the necromancer, alone, and I can't use the common language in the mainland. Isn't it a very interesting story?"
"Your Highness means that he actually has no amnesia? He just hides his identity?" The Raven raised his head and looked at Karuin, but there was no emotional color in his eyes.
"No." Karuin shook his head, "Since Sereya is willing to keep him and teach him the common language, then I think he had amnesia at least during that period. And even if he loses his memory, the memory of the common language will remain in his mind. It is still a little different from those who are beginners in learning. With Sereya's mental ability, it is impossible to find it. If there is really a problem, according to her personality, the person she just met will not be covered up to that level, and will definitely be handed over to her father for handling, so it is very likely that he will not know the common language."
Dark Crow's eyes moved slightly, "Can you still solve it like the people in front of you?"
"Wait first." Karuin put the black tea that he had taken a sip of, put his hands on his thighs, and gently tapped the back of his hand, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Neutenant Master... I'm a little interested in the secrets on him. You can check it out first. Since he is the only one left, the group of waste can't find anything. As for his life, haha, it seems that there are still many people who want his life, so let them play first."
"clear."
As his voice fell, the Crow's cloak moved, as if nodding, and then he saw only a flash of black shadows and disappeared into the room. Only the breeze waving from the curtains by the balcony proved that this person had existed.
Karuin seemed to be used to this and did not react to it. He just looked at the black tea on the table in front of him and seemed to be in deep thought.
...
"Bang!"
The sound of the thing breaking made the two guards standing at the door shake, and then a roar came from the study. The two looked at each other, and both showed gloating smiles.
Seeing that there were no one around, one of the thinner guards approached the other slightly fat guards whispered: "I'm right. When they came, you look at their faces as dark as if they had just crawled out of the chimney. When you go in, you must be scolded again. Look, it's coming, hehe."
"I saw it, and they went to look for Master Mart again? Didn't they find it again?" The fat guard also looked around and found that there was no one, and asked in a low voice.
"You really believe you can find it? Don't you know?" The thin guard looked at the man with some contempt.
The despised fat guard scratched his head and looked at the thin man blankly, "I don't know, tell me what happened?"
"Hehe, tell you that, but you have to treat me to a drink after the change of duty."
"No problem, talk quickly!" The fat man hurriedly urged when he heard that the thin man was still stoking his appetite.
"What's the hurry?" The thin man looked around again, listened to the movement inside and found that there was no problem, and then he whispered, "I tell you, a friend I know had been guarding the Lingjiu Valley before, and they evacuated until no one ran out and only those bones left. He had seen anyone who ran out inside, and there were only a few children, and he could still see it? He hadn't come back yet, so I'm afraid he can't come back."
"Maybe your friend's eyes are not good?" The fat man looked at the thin man with disbelief. "Besides, hasn't the young master of the Ospard family appeared before, and he went back later, but it seems that he is the only one left in their family to go back. Hiss... Is this secret realm so terrifying?"
The thin man curled his lips, "Mr. Hicks is a space awakener, and he is precious. He may have many life-saving things on his body. He is really envious. He is not like our Master Mart. He is just a second son and has no treasures on him. How can he compare?"
"Shh!" The fat man was startled when he heard the thin man's words and quickly covered his mouth, "You don't want to die? I'm talking nonsense here, Lord Viscount will finish hearing it. Don't pull me with you if you want to die."
The thin man slapped the fat man's hand off and looked at him with contempt. "The Viscount is being scolded inside, but I can't hear it. But, the adult still loves his son very much, so I don't know which unlucky person is going to be used to vent his anger."
In the elegant study, a cup containing black tea also fell into pieces as it contacted the wooden floor, and the steaming black tea splashed everywhere. The two young guards stood up nearby and let the tea splash on their pants, but lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.
"Tell me, what's the point of asking you?!"
Steul walked around the desk and came to the two guards and shouted, "Hicks of the Ospard family said it himself. He had seen Mart before. Why can't Mart come back? "
Who knows this?
The two guards felt very wronged, but they dared not say this sentence openly, otherwise they would never see the sun tomorrow.
Since the people from the secret realm came out and found that Mart had not returned yet, Steul sent several teams to search.
At first, not many undead creatures came out in the secret realm, and the search team could still search in depth. However, later, more and more undead creatures were pouring in, and the teams entering the mountain had to retreat. Until the undead creatures occupied the entire valley, they could no longer enter.
Many people knew that Mart probably had an unexpected accident, but no one dared to say it clearly. They just searched on a routine basis. After they came back, they were scolded by Stell, who wanted to vent, and then they could endure Stell's anger slightly calmed down.
"Go down! Keep looking for me!"
"yes!"
After a while, the two men who heard the sound of nature almost cried on the spot were as if they were amnesty. After responding, they hurriedly retreated to the door, opened the door and ran out. The two guards outside the door stood up when they heard the sound of opening the door, and their faces became expressionless, as if nothing had happened just now.
When the two of them went out, Stell's face was still so gloomy. Looking at the old housekeeper standing aside, the voice of the voice eased a lot, "You said you were also entering the secret realm, why did that boy Mu Yun come out and even luckily become Liya's assistant? But my son died in the secret realm!"
The old butler slowly bent down when he heard Stewart's question, "Stop being angry, maybe Master Mart was forced to take a detour after getting lost, and might be back in a few days."
"No need to comfort me." Steel waved his hand, "For such a long time, hope is slim." After saying that, Steel fell silent, and the old butler said nothing, and the study seemed to have become quiet again.
Stewart walked slowly in the study with his hands behind his back, and I don't know how long it took to finally stop. He turned around and looked at the old housekeeper with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
