Chapter 120 [Discordant Earl's Mansion]

After leaving the earl's study, although I had a lot of feelings in my heart, the process of meeting my father this time also brought some inner weirdness. But when he went to see the countess, Du Wei suppressed all these thoughts in his heart, cheered up, and went to see his mother with a warm face and a smile on his face.

Speaking of Du Wei's feelings for the Luo Lin family, there are actually some special and complicated feelings.

He came to this world inexplicably. He was originally a mature young man, but he was entrusted to this baby. At the beginning, he naturally had his own parents in his previous life. Although he came here, he really couldn't regard the countess as his mother.

This kind of psychology is also very normal. Just imagine, for any young man, if you suddenly forget your biological parents and recognize another irrelevant person as your parents, it is of course unacceptable in your heart.

But as he grew up in the Earl's Mansion, especially the beautiful and kind Countess, the serious illness that almost killed Du Wei when he was young, the Countess knelt in the temple and prayed all night, and took care of him around the clock, everyone was almost tired collapsed. Du Wei was gradually moved by his "mother".  After that, he gradually became more intimate with the countess.

From childhood to adulthood, after the age of three, Du Wei deliberately acted low-key, deliberately evaded responsibility, pretended to be untalented, and was even ridiculed as an idiot. Even his father didn't like him. But the Countess still loves her son. Every night, he quietly came to Du Wei's room, talked with his poor son, and even sang to lull him to sleep... Such a day-by-day, little by little, bit by bit effort, even if Du Wei resisted the world in his heart. Little by little, she was melted by the mother's loving heart.

It can be said.  In his heart, Du Wei really didn't have much affection for the Earl, the "father".  But to the Countess.  After more than ten years, I have really developed a sense of filial piety.  Gradually, I slowly accepted the identity of "mother".

After leaving home for a year, Du Wei returned to the inner house, and saw the countess standing in front of the door in a purple robe from a distance. Looking at Du Wei and smiling quietly. His long hair was soft and soft. At this moment, Du Wei couldn't help feeling in a trance, as if recalling when he was young, the mother hugged him in the middle of the night and sang to lull him to sleep. sleep with hair...

That soft and smooth feeling.

The countess still looked as beautiful as ever, with a gentle smile in her eyes. Although the years have left some traces on her face, the eyes that were crying silently while holding her sickly son on a rainy night were still so radiant and moving.

Du Wei was really moved at this moment, and walked over at a faster pace. Then knelt down on one knee, knelt down in front of the countess, held her mother's hand with both hands, and said softly, "I'm back...Master Mother!"

The mother's yell was so natural, it was much smoother than calling the earl's father in the study just now.

Tears flashed in the Countess's eyes, she slowly helped up her eldest son, then hugged her gently, and said in a low voice, "I will never let him drive you away again when I come back this time. Already!"

The voice is not loud, but with unshakable determination!

Du Wei accompanied the Countess into the room. Sit down and talk for a while. The countess looked at her son who had been away from home for a year. I think of Du Wei who was weak and sick when he was young, and was not liked by his husband when he grew up. Shengsheng suffered a lot of cold reception and stares. I am afraid that I am the only one in the family who really loves this son. But he was ruthlessly driven back to his hometown by his husband.

For a while, she felt distressed, and asked Du Wei carefully about his hometown in Luolin Plain. Although the Countess understands that the castle in Luo Lin Plain has everything in her hometown, although her son is out of favor, after all, being a young master, he will definitely not suffer. But mothers in this world are all in the same mind. When their son is not around, they are always worried about his food and clothing.

Du Wei was moved in his heart, so he cheered up to answer one by one, and racked his brains to say some interesting things on the Luolin Plain, finally driving away the last haze from the Countess's brow. .

The mother and son said happily, but almost passed the time for lunch.  Seeing that noon had passed, Du Wei himself was fine, but worried that the Countess was starving, so he touched his stomach on purpose, and said with a smile, "Mother, I went out early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet. "

The countess finally realized it, and quickly smiled, "I forgot... well, I haven't seen you for a year, and I was only focused on talking to you, but... I'm going to ask the servant to bring food. "

Du Wei said with a smile: "No hurry, let me arrange the meal at noon. When I was in my hometown, it was very interesting to figure out a new way of eating. "

After finishing speaking, Du Wei had someone call Made, and asked Made to go down and find a few metal shelves and charcoal from among the goods he had brought in the accompanying carriage. Then asked the kitchen to send a few plates of raw beef, mutton and offal, as well as some fresh vegetables.

Then Du Wei pulled the Countess out of the room, and asked Made to get a barbecue grill in the yard according to his instructions. Du Wei personally sliced ​​the food from the kitchen and put it on the fork, and lit the fire. , and took out the barbecue seasoning that I personally prepared in Luo Lin's old home, and grilled it carefully.

In his previous life, he was a bachelor. He lived alone, and he ate by himself, and his cooking skills were really good. After arriving in this world, I was served by someone. Although I was a lot lazy, I was tired of eating the delicacies of this world when I was living in Luolin Plain. Although the ingredients and condiments are different, authentic Chinese food cannot be produced, but simple barbecue is still no problem.

This is roast lamb. It is the most tender part of the selected calf loin. Du Wei took out the seasoning in a small bottle. Du Wei searched for a long time in the plants in this world, and he found a taste very similar to the previous life " Cumin", and after careful testing, it is a kind of food, and it is ground into a powder, and some special seasonings are added.

Turn the spit over at this moment.  Sprinkle these powders evenly on the mutton, and cut the mutton in several parts. Let the heat spread evenly, and within a short while, the aroma will overflow.

After Du Wei finished roasting a piece of meat, he handed it to his mother with both hands, and said with a smile, "Mom, try it, it tastes different from others!"

The Countess is a woman. On weekdays, there is less meat and meat, but after a year of separation, the beloved son reunites, how can he reject his son's kindness? Seeing Du Wei's face was still covered with a little black ash from the barbecue, tears almost flowed from his eyes, he took it and took a bite, it was really delicious and tender. Under the gaze of his son, he actually ate all the pieces of mutton on a whole roasting fork. The food intake is much larger than usual.

Seeing that his mother was happy, Du Wei kept grilling again. The countess was in a good mood, and even the maid who took care of the surroundings and helped her help also came up and ordered to bring some good wine.  At this open-air barbecue party, there was a lot of laughter for a while, and even a few maids on the side were given a few pieces of things baked by the young master himself.

I spent half a day with my mother. Seeing that the countess was radiant and looking good, Du Wei saw that the sky was getting dark, and said with a smile: "I couldn't make it to my mother's birthday last time, but you must like the fireworks brought by Madeleine." . I brought a lot more this time. I'll show it to you when it gets dark!"

The countess smiled softly, and said: "No need... just keep it for now, and the summer festival will be in a few days.  Wait until that night to play it.  It will be more lively. "

Du Wei talked with his mother for a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark. Just returned to the room, and suddenly smiled again: "I haven't seen my brother all day, where is Gabriel? Could it be that he made a mistake and was locked in the room by his father?"

Speaking of her younger brother, the countess couldn't help but sigh: "Your younger brother went out early this morning, and I'm afraid he won't be back until very late... Sigh, your father has high expectations for him, so it's fine for Alpha to teach him martial arts on weekdays. I specially invited Mr. Lan Hai, the most famous university student in the imperial capital, to accept your brother as a disciple.   It’s just that Mr. Lan Hai has a different status, but it’s impossible to come to be a teacher, so your brother will go to Lan Hai every two days from now on Mr. went to study at home, today is the first day, it is said that Mr. Lan Hai will conduct an assessment on him, I am afraid he will not come back so early..."

Du Wei couldn't help but sighed in his heart. .

What a huge difference!

Gabriel has been extremely smart since he was a child, and his father really spared no expense in cultivating him!

That Mr. Lan Hai, Du Wei has also heard of his reputation, is the leading university scholar in the imperial capital. The status is far higher than the first teacher and scholar I invited when I was young! It was even heard that several children of the royal family would not invite him.

In the evening, Du Wei went back to his original place in the Earl's Mansion.  This is a very secluded place in the earl's mansion. Du Wei was not favored since he was a child.

The yard was quiet, and there were not many servants around. After Du Wei came back, he saw that the yard was not dilapidated, not even a single weed had grown. It was probably because his mother still asked people to clean it every day when he was away.

The things I left in the room have never been moved, and even the book I left behind when I left last year is still in its original place. The table is bright, and there is not a trace of dust.

Made had already moved all his belongings into the room according to Du Wei's instructions.  Du Wei ordered the servants not to come in to disturb him, and closed all the doors of the yard.  Arranged a silent magic around the room, and then closed the door.

Du Wei first arranged his clothes in front of the mirror, and then untied the tied hair on his head. Can't help but sigh... This horn on my head is really troublesome. When I was with my mother today, when I was emotional, I couldn't help but reach out and stroke the top of Du Wei's head. Fortunately, Du Wei was clever. Find out what happened, and avoid it calmly. Just keep this corner, it's inconvenient after all...you have to find a way.

Afterwards, Du Wei opened a large specially-made box among the belongings sent by Made. As soon as it was opened, QQ complained from inside: "My God, you are finally here! This whole day has made me bored!"

finished. The penguin jumped out by itself and stood on the ground. The short and funny body is stretched out. The mouse Gargamel also jumped out, panting heavily, and looked at Du Wei dissatisfiedly: "I said, can you change our place? I'm so bored to death in this small box all day long!"

"Is it boring?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Didn't there be a few vent holes?"

Gargamel was furious: "You really treat me like a pet! Don't forget, I, Lord Gargamel, am a majestic magician! Locked in this box by you...I...don't you know, I'll be here all day long!" Come down, even if you left us something to eat in it... But I always have to go to the bathroom!"

finished.  Gargamel was already looking around, and then ran away towards the toilet.

QQ shook his hands and feet comfortably, but ignored Du Wei. Instead, he jumped in front of the mirror, took a long time to look at it carefully, and then tidied up some messy feathers on his body. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed : "Meter! Meter! You must never lock me up with this mouse in the future! On my beautiful feathers.   It is so ugly to be stained with gray mouse hair!"

Du Wei glanced at the "divine beast" left by Aragorn, and sneered, "Is it ugly? Although it is a mouse, it still has magic and can teach me a lot of magic knowledge. What about you? Besides talking Besides, I can only waste my food.   I really don’t know that Aragorn left you to me.   What’s the use of it.  ”

Qq immediately protested and said loudly: "Nonsense! I am the most..."

"The most elegant creature, right?" Du Wei curled his lips: "Can elegance be eaten? No matter how elegant you are, you are just a bird.   Apart from complaining to me, what else can you do for me? "

After speaking, Du Wei ignored the dumb bird and turned around to pack his things.

It's not that Du Wei hates QQ, it's just that after Gandolf's death, Du Wei inevitably felt disgusted with everything related to that Aragon.  Attached. Even this penguin felt a little more disgusted in his heart. I just feel that anything related to Aragorn will cause some troubles...

Du Wei took out the magic bag again.  Those "relics" left by Aragorn.

These "relics" are really of little value. Except for the broken "King's Sword", the rest of the bottles and jars made Du Wei depressed, but there was nothing of value.

A piece of rag wrapped in a mess, unexpectedly blessed by some kind of magic, and it has not been damaged for thousands of years, but when you open it, the rags are full of circles and circles, which are full of things that I can't understand. The hell the map is dark.  After careful study for a long time, it was confirmed that this thing is probably a map. It's just too sloppy, and I don't know what the map is. .

There are neither signs nor words on this map, just some hellish messy patterns, how can Du Wei verify it?

In addition, there is a booklet... This booklet makes Du Wei even more troublesome.

This booklet was originally placed in an iron box among Aragon's relics. After it was taken out, there was a layer of rust on it. Fortunately, the inside of this booklet was actually made of thin pure gold! After some processing by Du Wei, every page of the gold sheet was densely engraved with unknown things. There were some square and round patterns on each page, and some text marked beside it...

Du Wei studied for a long time, and guessed what kind of manufacturing blueprint this might be, but it was frustrating that none of the markings on it were recognizable! Du Wei asked himself that he is knowledgeable and talented, and that he has been a man in two lifetimes, and in this world, he hid in the earl's mansion for more than ten years and read books when he was young. There are probably very few things he doesn't know on this continent.

However, this kind of writing has no clue, and I can't understand a little bit of it.

Therefore, although this booklet is made of pure gold, it is a useless thing to Du Wei.  Du Wei used to make a copy of the above patterns on paper, and found a few craftsmen when he was in Rollin Castle.  Show them the copied map paper, but there is no text label, no data and annotations, no craftsman can understand it.  Even the blueprint of what this thing is is completely invisible.

Aside from that damn map and this strange golden tome, what remains of Aragorn are several rotten bottles containing a strange powder.  I don’t even know what it is. Du Wei has done a lot of research on magic pharmacy, but he still can't figure out what these powders are.

But after all, it is what Aragorn left behind. Even the bottles that hold these powders are good things, so Du Wei didn't throw away these rubbish.  Well preserved.

Aragorn's most powerful martial arts secret book, no.

Aragorn's most powerful tome of magic, no.

Hmph, a broken map, a golden book with nothing to show. A pair of rotten bottles filled with some powder...

This is all that remains of Aragorn.

Of course... there is also a tattered sword of the king, and a penguin that can talk loudly.

As for the king's sword, although it was broken, the seven gems on the scabbard were not ordinary things, they were all the magic cores of high-level monsters. Although the magic power in them had been drained, they were still high-quality gems.

Du Wei often takes these things out for research.  But every time I have no clue. Aragorn's suicide note hidden in the hilt of the sword has been read several times, but there is no progress.  As for treating the penguins kindly as stated in the suicide note, Du Wei complied.  Provided with delicious food and drink, it is like raising a pet.

As for the strange diamond-shaped gemstone in the hilt, the suicide note said that it could obtain the power of Aragon, but Du Wei took this gemstone and studied it for a few days.  Nothing was found either.

Generally speaking, at present, these things are almost worthless in Du Wei's hands.

Sighing, Du Wei couldn't bear to throw these things away after all, so he found a place to hide them carefully. Anyway, no one will come to search your room, even if you find it... Even you can't understand it, and neither can others.

Others, Gandolf's relics, are a lot of valuable things. Du Wei has recently learned according to the druid natural method.  One or two months down.  I also have some experience.

After packing up his things at night, Du Wei didn't sleep. I just opened the window, looked at the moon and stars in the sky, sat down slowly, closed my eyes and began to meditate and practice magic.

Du Wei still can't figure out the star magic until today. Although he is practicing according to the star magic, the magic power increases very fast, and the strength and control of the magic power are stronger. but……

Even Semel... Ever since Gandolf died, no matter how Du Wei summoned him, Semel never came out again! Star magic has no human guidance, and of course it is impossible to learn it.

After meditating all night, when Du Wei opened his eyes at dawn, he felt energetic and his five senses were sensitive. He could clearly perceive any subtle movement within a radius of tens of meters without even using it on his own. If he uses it intentionally, Du Wei's mental power can gradually cover a space of hundreds of meters in radius. In the area covered by the mental power, even the sound and frequency of the vibration of insect wings can be easily heard! .

Looking back at the bedroom, the big bed of mine has been shared by the mouse and qq. A mouse and a penguin are sleeping on the same bed. This scene is really funny.

Du Wei got used to it and didn't care about these guys.

In the morning, I got the two pets out of bed and hid them, then let the servants come in to tidy up the room and bring in breakfast.

Du Wei thought of his younger brother Gabriel, who had been back for a day and a night, but he hadn't seen that kid yet. I couldn't help asking the servant. The servant immediately replied: "Madam knows that the young master will definitely ask, so let me tell you, young master, he went to the teacher's place yesterday. After the test, the teacher liked him very much. He was left by the teacher last night and never came back. "

Du Wei nodded, let the servant go out, but smiled in his heart: That kid seems really smart, and the effort he spent back then was not in vain, and he was actually liked by Mr. Lan Hai, the number one scholar in the imperial capital. , Mr. Lan Hai must have taught him a lot.

From now on, when this kid becomes a talent, the burden of the family will naturally be on his shoulders... Du Wei is very happy to see this kind of situation.

Nothing happened in the morning, so Du Wei went to see his mother again and stayed with the countess for a while.  It's just that Count Raymond went to the high command in the morning.  After Du Wei returned to his place, he found it boring. Originally on the Rolling Plains, I was busy with a lot of things, had so many industries under my command, and went to conduct magic experiments with Solskjaer.

But on the first day back home, I found that I really had nothing to do, as if I was not used to it.

I picked up a book and read it for a while, and felt a little bored. Suddenly remembered that when we parted yesterday, Master Clark left a few hints.

Maybe, go to the magic union? At any rate, he now bears the name of Gandolf's closed disciple, and he is also a genuine magician of the Magic Union. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, I have never been to the Magic Union, so it’s good to go and have a look.

And now that we have encountered these complicated things, maybe we can get some news from the Magic Union!

Du Wei is a person who does it when he thinks about it. He immediately put on his clothes, and specially put on the black mage robes of a magician. Then he closed the door, left the two pets in the room, and ordered no People enter their rooms.  It just came out.

Let Made prepare the carriage, and Du Wei was walking to the door of the Earl's Mansion, but saw the head of the Alpha guard flashing out from nowhere.

Didn't he go to the military command with his father?

Du Wei frowned slightly, looked at the veteran of the family, and greeted with a smile. Alfa walked up to Du Wei with a calm face, lowered his voice, and frowned: "Master Du Wei, it seems that you didn't listen to my advice yesterday.  Why, are you going out today?"

Du Wei smiled and said, "I'm going to the Magic Union. "

Alpha heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he sighed, and said: "Since this is the case...the root cause of the previous assassination has not been found out, you really can't go out alone, I will accompany you. "

When Du Wei heard this, his heart sank. Although there was no sign on his face, there was a trace of dissatisfaction!

what is this? House arrest?

Thinking of Alpha telling himself yesterday: Don’t go out.

He wants to go out today, and he has to follow.

After all, he is his father's confidant, staring at him like this...

Although Du Wei thought so in his heart, he pretended not to notice the mistake on his face, and smiled: "No need? I am a child, just bring a few guards.   You are the chief guard of the family, there is no need to follow me a little Kids running around?"

Alpha shook his head: "No, I'll follow. I'm worried about you going out alone. "

Du Wei knew it was hard to refuse, so he nodded. Then Alpha summoned a few guards, they were the guard cavalry who followed Du Wei all the way back from Luolin Plain, but Du Wei took a look, but found that the little boss who had reminded him about the military crossbow was not among them , moved in my heart, pretended to look at one of the cavalry casually, and said with a smile: "Where is your captain?"

The cavalryman was stunned for a moment when asked by Du Wei, and immediately said with a smile: "He was sent back to Luolin Plain yesterday by Master Alpha..."
