Demon Hunter and His Hut

Chapter 720: sister

The night rain is majestic, and lightning pierces the night sky.

On the dark winding mountain road, a horse rushed in the rain.

Click.

The lightning flashed across, almost splitting the entire sky, and illuminating everything around it instantly as if it were daylight.

The rain ran across the knight's face, wet his leather armor, and revealed half of his pale face.

The road at night was rugged, but the horse galloping in the dark seemed unaffected. The roar of thunder and the rain became even greater, and it was not until a long time later that the rushing knight slowly slowed down.

At the end of his sight, an old castle stands in the dark, and the interlacing electric light makes the distant castle like a beast hidden in the dark.

Before it got close, the gate of the castle opened automatically, and the knight rolled over and got off his horse, shaking off the rain on his body.

"It's late, Miss Chloe."

An old face was revealed in the shadow under the eaves. Even in the middle of the night, the old man's black dress was neatly dressed, with no wrinkles visible on it.

His eyes are steady, his voice is not loud, but it directly penetrates the night rain and falls into the ears of the people.

Lifting the hood at the beginning and shaking the wet hair tips, Chloe looked tired and weak, but her eyes remained firm.

"I'll submit the task!"

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

The front door was opened, and the yellowish light seemed to have a warming power in the dark. Chloe tied the reins, removed a package from the horse, and walked quickly into the hall.

The old man who had just spoken was already waiting in the hall. Croy walked quickly in front of him and put the package in his hand on the table.

"I have completed the No. 3 secret order of Lord Earl. This is evidence. Now I should get the reward I deserve, right?"

Put things away, Chloe said impatiently.

The old man put down the quill in his hand and slowly opened Chloe's package, then his eyes narrowed slightly, "Did you complete this task alone?"

"Any problem?" Chloe asked rhetorically.

"No, but in order to complete it, the price you paid may have exceeded the income of this mission."

The old man took the received package off the table lightly, "The mission is valid, you can choose one of the rewards..."

"Spirit Calling Potion!"

Chloe said without hesitation.

"Please wait."

The old man didn't seem surprised, he wrote something down, and then nodded at Chloe.

"Dear Chloe..."

At this moment, a slightly exaggerated voice came, and Chloe frowned subconsciously. She still maintained the previous movements, even without the interest of looking up.

The interior decoration of the castle is simple, not full of luxurious and exaggerated decoration like other nobles. The most conspicuous thing on the whole first floor is the long table placed directly opposite the door.

Behind the table is the stairs leading to the second floor. At this time, a sleepy man leaned on the handrail and said casually.

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

"Mr. Doren."

The man on the side of the stairs said, "In the earl, according to the rules, the stock of potions above the precious level cannot be guaranteed. It should be allowed for one or two nights."

Chloe pursed her lips slightly. She raised her head and glanced at the old man in front of her. She seemed to understand something in the eyes of the other person. The next moment she turned around sharply and walked outside the door.

"Miss Chloe, how long will it take to get to the nearest town from here? I think you know better than me. There is still a long time before dawn. Are you sure you want to rush in the rain while your body is injured?"

The man gave a chuckle.

"Our soul is strong, but our body is still fragile."

As if not hearing his words, Chloe continued to move forward.

"I heard your brother..."

Snapped.

Chloe stopped abruptly. Although she didn't turn her head back, anyone could feel the strength of her slender body.

"He was only confused for a while, so he was taken advantage of to set a trap. He is still loyal to the royal family."

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

Chloe slowly turned around, and his tight expression seemed to ease. "He has paid the price of his life for his negligence. I think this is enough to prove everything."

"Mr. Havel."

The man known as Javier smiled and slowly walked down the stairs, "Why do we two have to be as arrogant as we are now when we meet?"

"If you are willing to accept my love, then I don't think the Anglo family will fall into such a field as it is now..."

"Even the last dignity of a nobleman can't be maintained."

"Dignity is never given by others."

Croy only replied firmly, and stopped speaking.

"Be more sober, Miss Chloe, it's really impossible for your brother to rejuvenate the Angelou family. Even if he can barely pass the first awakening, there is no way to inherit this degree of soul mutation."

"and so……"

Javier spread his hands.

"That's my business."

Chloe replied calmly, then planned to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute."

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

"Your potion."

"Another news."

"The situation on the border is escalating. The kingdom is just in the process of employing people. If it can give enough credit in the next operations."

"Not only will there be help in promotion, it is even possible to make an exception and canonize new nobles, including women!"

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

"Don't worry, detailed regulations will be issued soon. If you want to rejuvenate your family, this is a good opportunity not to be missed."

"Thank you!"

He squeezed out a gratitude, and Chloe collected the potion and put on his hood, and pierced into the night rain. The sound of horseshoes sounded and disappeared quickly.

"Master..."

"I know what you plan to say."

Javier shrugged indifferently.

"I like challenging battles, and so do women."

"Although the conditions are good, once you join, you can't be as free as you are now. I will have many ways to make her surrender by then."

"Also remember to clean up those tails. I don't want Chloe to see the clues from the accident of his idiot brother."

"What an idiot. As a noble, even a declining noble would believe those extreme remarks and heresy, and dare to try it easily without experimenting."

"This time he was fortune-telling, and he didn't even have his soul broken and died, but...if Chloe had given his brother a spirit-evoking potion."

"Hehe, seeing her brother's head explode with her own eyes, she must be very desperate and guilty."

As the night darkened, the heavy rain outside seemed to be coming to the end of the world.

…………

Boom boom boom.

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

Emily whispered.

I don't know why, even if she is across a door, she will subconsciously feel cold in her heart, as if there is some terrible monster hidden behind the door.

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

"Perhaps it will start 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 painted with complicated lines, and the black dye seemed to seep into the skin, and the color slowly disappeared with his voice.

He got dressed and walked through the corridor to the first floor.

In the living room, Joseph leaned on the sofa and stretched out regardless of the image. He chuckled when he saw Roger, "Hey, your complexion looks great, I bet no one will believe 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 trusted a lot of relationships and spent a lot of..."

"What you want."

Roger threw a bottle casually, Joseph's eyes lit up and he hugged him hurriedly.

"God, what if I break?"

Joseph made a look of fear.

The transparent test tube as thick as a finger is almost clear liquid. Through sunlight, the liquid inside shows a faint colorful luster.

"So fast?"

Joseph obviously didn't expect to get the finished medicine when he came for the second time. He looked at the medicine in his hand intently, then raised his head and asked after a long time.

"What is this thing for?"

"Don't you know if you try it?"

Roger sat opposite Joseph, turned the empty cup in front of him, and poured black tea into it.

"It is marked with a scale. Take it in an appropriate amount according to your needs, but while taking it, it is best to prepare a suitable female partner...er...or a male partner."

"How can I use this thing?"

Joseph waved his hand, but quickly put away the test tube in his hand.

"To be honest, apart from transporting a batch of supplies, the most important thing I am coming here is to see your physical condition."

Joseph looked enthusiastic, "I haven't seen you in a few days, your body is recovering well, so you should be able to go out to a banquet together."

"banquet?"

"Not interested." Roger waved his hand. The original owner of the body might be addicted to this kind of activity because of his youth and vigor.

The upper class is relatively corrupt and open in these respects.

As long as a certain age is met, there will be no fewer multi-person parties in private. As for the theme of the banquet, no matter how high the publicity is, it is very likely that it will eventually lead to a situation.

Although there are exceptions, they are not many.

After all, there are too few ways to entertain in this world.

"It's not what you think." Joseph immediately understood Roger's thoughts, "You have recovered from a serious illness, and your body is just barely recovering. Am I still a human when I take you to the kind of banquet?"

"Ha ha."

Roger sneered.

"It's not a formal banquet, but it's a wild outing. The person who initiated this event was Bisca from Greensberg. Her father was a baron, and her title was already in jeopardy."

"Tsk tusk, who would have thought that her brother made a contribution to the recent border turmoil. Although he was blind and broke a hand, he at least kept the inheritance of the nobility, and even was given a large amount of extra money. land."

"The border is turbulent? You mean the conflict with the Federation?" Roger suddenly said.

"Which one can it be?"

"Physically disabled, her brother has no way to adapt to the next battle. After dealing with his injuries, he was sent back to the territory."

Joseph replied casually, "I should be recuperating in the green castle now."

Upon hearing this news, Roger's heart moved.

"When is this outing?"

"Just the day after tomorrow, you can go with my carriage at that time."

"Of course, there is another premise."

Joseph shrank his neck. "You need Chloe's consent. I don't want to be kicked by her again."

To Joseph's surprise, in the past, when he mentioned his sister Chloe in front of his friends, he always saw the other person showing an expression of anger.

But once, the thin young man sitting opposite him had a calm face, and he couldn't tell any thoughts from his expression alone.

"A sudden accident, can one person change so much?"

Joseph didn't think much, he touched the reagent in his pocket, and his heart was hot.

Just then there was a sound of horseshoes outside the manor.

Joseph looked out through the window, and a slender figure rode into the manor on a vigorous steed.

"Miss Chloe."

The expression on his face changed slightly, but he quickly became calm, "As a friend, come to visit when you are sick..." He silently encouraged himself.

But the voice became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that Joseph had suffered under Croy.

Roger did not get up. In the memory, the original owner of the body and his sister were not particularly close.

"Your complexion looks great!"

Chloe strode towards Roger, ignoring Joseph's standing aside, and stepped forward to give Roger a big hug.

There was a soft touch on the side of his face. The hug lasted for a long time. Roger even suspected that if it were not because he didn't need to breathe now, he would definitely sink into the gentleness of Chloe's chest and cause suffocation.

"Ahem, good afternoon, Miss Chloe."

Joseph greeted awkwardly, but the woman in front of him obviously ignored his existence and looked at her brother dozingly.

"I have prepared some medicines and some nutrients for you. I will order you to go down and take them on time every day."

"Besides... after you get your body up this time~lightnovelpub.net~, don't be fooling around like before."

Roger lowered his head, eyes drooping, letting Chloe's palm pass across his face.

"I will go out in a while. From now on you have to learn to take care of yourself."

After talking about a lot of things in detail, he finally exhorted.

"You are leaving, where are you going?"

Roger asked subconsciously.

"Um... the border."

Chloe replied casually. Hearing her answer, Roger's face did not change, but a trace of abnormality flashed through his heart.

It's the border again.
