The night rain is majestic, and lightning breaks through the night sky.

On the pitch-black mountain road, a horse was walking rapidly in the rain.

Click.

The lightning flashed across, almost splitting the entire sky, and shining everything around him in an instant like daylight.

The rain slashed across the Knight's face, wetting his leather armor, revealing half of his pale face.

The road was rugged at night, but the horse galloped in the darkness without any influence. The thunder and rain were louder. It was not until a long time later that the knight was slowly slowing down.

At the end of his sight, an ancient castle stood in the darkness. The interlaced lightning made the ancient castle in the distance look like a beast hidden in the darkness.

Before he could get closer, the gate of the castle opened automatically, and the knight turned over and dismounted, shaking the rain on his body.

"It's too late, Miss Chloe."

An old face was revealed in the shadow under the eaves. Even in the middle of the night, the old man was dressed neatly, and there was no trace of wrinkles on it.

His eyes were calm, his voice was not loud, but it directly penetrated the night rain and fell into the ears of people.

He lifted the hood on his head and shook the wet tip of his hair. Chloe looked tired and weak, but her eyes remained firm.

"I'll submit the task!"

"Please come with me." The old man's eyes flashed for a moment, as if he was going to say something, but his eyes moved down and noticed the mottled marks on Chloe's leather armor and a faint blood color. He then withdrew his gaze and nodded, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

The main door was opened, and the yellow light seemed to have a warm power in the darkness. Chloe tied the reins, took a package from the horse's back, and then walked quickly into the main hall.

The old man who had just spoken was already waiting in the hall. Kroy walked quickly and placed the package in his hand on the table.

"I completed the Earl's Secret Order No. 3, which is evidence. Now I deserve the reward I deserve, right?"

Putting things in hand, Chloe said impatiently.

The old man put down the quill in his hand and slowly opened Chloe's package. Then his eyes narrowed slightly, "Is this task you completed alone?"

"Is there any problem?" Chloe asked back.

"No, but the price you paid to complete it is probably more than the gains of this mission."

The old man gently took the package he received from the table, "The mission is valid, you can choose any of the rewards..."

"Summoning potion!"

Chloe said without hesitation.

"Please wait."

The old man seemed not surprised. He wrote down something and nodded at Chloe.

"Dear Chloe..."

Just then a slightly exaggerated voice came, and Chloe subconsciously frowned. She still maintained her previous movements, not even interested in looking up at her.

The interior of the castle is simple and not as luxurious and exaggerated as other nobles. The most conspicuous thing on the entire first floor is the long table placed directly opposite the door.

Behind the side of the table is the staircase leading to the second floor. At this time, a sleepy man leaned against the handrail and said carelessly.

"Mr. Doron, I hope I can get my reward right away," Chloe urged.

"Mr. Doron."

The man on the side of the stairs spoke, "At the earl's head, according to the rules, precious-level and above potions cannot be guaranteed in stock. If it is one or two days at night, it should be allowed."

Chloe's lips were slightly pursed, and she looked up at the old man in front of her, and seemed to understand something from the other person's eyes. The next moment she turned around neatly and walked out the door.

"Miss Chloe, how long will it take to get from here to the nearest town I think you know better than me. It's still a long time before dawn. Are you sure you'll be in a hurry in the night rain while you're physically injured?"

The man chuckled.

"Our soul is strong, but our bodies are still fragile."

As if he hadn't heard him, Chloe continued to walk forward.

"I heard your brother..."

Bang.

Chloe stopped suddenly, and although he did not look back, anyone could feel the power that was not triggered on her slender body.

"He was just confused for a moment, so someone took the opportunity to set up a trap. He was still loyal to the royal family."

"But I heard that he was very close to some people."

Chloe turned slowly, and his tense expression seemed to ease, "He paid almost the price of his life for his negligence, and I think this is enough to prove it all."

"Mr. Javier."

The man called Javier smiled and slowly walked down the stairs, "Why are we so tense every time we meet?"

"If you are willing to accept my love, then I don't think the Angru family will fall into the current land..."

"Even the last dignity of a nobleman cannot be maintained."

“Dignity is never given by others.”

Kroy just answered firmly and stopped talking.

"Sobert, Miss Chloe, your brother really cannot revitalize the Angru family. Even if you can barely wake up, this level of soul mutation cannot be inherited."

"so……"

Javier spread his hands.

"That's mine."

Chloe answered calmly and planned to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute."

A blue light flashed, and Chloe subconsciously raised his hand, and the place where he entered was cold, and the transparent container was filled with azure blue liquid.

"Your potion."

"Tell you another news."

"The border situation escalates, and the kingdom is just at the moment of hiring people. If we can make enough credit in the next action."

"Not only will there be a strong promotion help, but it may even make an exception to enthrone new nobles, including women!"

Chloe's eyes lit up slightly, "What are the specific tasks?"

"Don't worry, it won't take long to promulgate detailed regulations. If you want to revitalize your family, this is a good opportunity that you should not miss."

"Thanks!"

He squeezed out a thank you hard, Chloe put away the potion and put it on his hood, penetrated into the night rain, and the sound of horse hooves rang out and disappeared quickly.

"Young Master..."

"I know what you are going to say."

Javier shrugged indifferently.

“I like challenging battles, so do women.”

"Although the conditions are good, once you join, you will not be as free as you are now. Then I have many ways to make her surrender."

"Also remember to deal with those tails, I don't want Chloe to see the clues from his idiot brother's accident."

"What a fool. As a nobleman, even the declining nobleman would believe those extreme remarks and evil words, and dare to try them easily without experimentation."

"This time he was lucky, but he didn't even die of soul rupture, but...if Chloe gave his brother the spirit-summoning potion."

"Haha, I guess she will be very desperate and guilty when she sees her brother's head explode."

The night is getting darker, and the heavy rain outside the door seems to be coming to the end of the world.

…………

Dongdongdongdongdong.

"Sir Roger... Mr. Joseph's carriage has arrived, and he is also with him."

Emily said in a low voice.

For some reason, even though she was separated by a door, she would subconsciously feel a chill in her heart, as if there was a terrible monster hidden behind the door.

Henrik... No, it should be said to be Roger. Although he is not clear about why he suddenly changed his name, the special experience of wandering around at the critical moment of life and death may really change a person.

"Maybe it's just starting over with a name." Emily thought silently.

"Let him wait for me in the living room."

Roger opened his eyes in the room, his naked upper body was covered with complex patterns, and the black dye seemed to penetrate into his skin, and the color slowly disappeared with his voice.

He put on his clothes and walked through the corridor to the first floor.

In the living room, Joseph leaned against the sofa and stretched out regardless of his image. When he saw Roger, he chuckled, "Hey, your complexion looks great. I bet no one will believe that you recover so quickly."

"According to your request, I sent some new things. To be honest, those things are not easy to find. I have entrusted a lot of relationships and spent a lot of money..."

"What you want."
To be continued...
