Chapter 168: Information From Afar
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down."
Viscount Harlan waved his hand, the guards withdrew and returned to report, leaving the viscount and his confidants in the hall.
"See for yourself."
The information was handed over to Leo. Leo browsed through it with a solemn expression, then handed it to Instructor Larry, and finally into the hands of Butler Cole.
Cole glanced at it, his hands trembling involuntarily, his forehead was already sweating after reading it.
"This---it's not necessarily true, maybe Miss Mia made a mistake---" he questioned softly, with a trembling voice when he spoke.
In Cole's mind, the illegitimate children had mixed blood. Although they were favored in the castle, it was the viscount who wanted to appease them. Their real function was just to make up the number.
Rock showed amazing talent in knight training. After he stepped into the wizard's trial, he might not be able to return to the territory.
Even if he became a dark wizard apprentice, without the support of his family, no matter how far he could go, he would probably be buried in a corner of the wizard continent like many family children.
In the end, the Bambora family still depends on Master Charlie, or Master Fern and Master Bill, or it may be Miss Fanny who has become a White Witch apprentice, definitely not the illegitimate son Rock.
A letter that came suddenly broke his fantasy, but the person he hated the most became a fifth-level apprentice, and became the key to the family's rise and fall.
"Shut up."
An angry shout interrupted his words, facing Viscount Harlan's angry face, the viscount's eyes revealed a terrifying gaze.
"Master Viscount forgive me, Cole has no other intentions, but before the news is confirmed, I don't want you to be deceived." Cole thumped in his heart and hurriedly explained.
As the viscount's confidant, he naturally knew that the viscount's dedication to the family's millennium foundation has surpassed everything else, including family affection.
"boom."
However, Viscount Harlan did not listen to his excuses. Without warning, the Viscount personally took action, carrying the power of the Viscount and the great knight, and swept out with the steel crutch in his hand, with a mighty force.
Hit by the steel crutch, Cole was sent flying, hit a table and chair beside him, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Viscount."
The guards guarding outside heard the movement and ran in as if facing a big enemy. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were a little overwhelmed.
"Take him down and lock him up."
Viscount Harlan's anger still persisted. Seeing the pleading butler who had fallen to the ground, he turned around and stopped looking at him, and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Master Viscount, Cole is loyal to you and has no second thoughts." Being raised by the guards, Cole did not dare to resist, and kept begging the Viscount for mercy.
"Keep an eye on it, if you have any questions, you are the only ones to ask."
Responding to him was the viscount's more cruel words, Cole spat another mouthful of blood, passed out, was taken away by the guards, and sent to the prison of the castle.
"Larry Knight, deal with the people involved, and don't make any trouble."
"Don't worry, I'll do it now."
After receiving the order, Larry hurried out of the meeting hall, heralding a lot of bad luck for a lot of people.
In the hall, there were two people left. After a pause, Leo stepped forward and said, "Master Viscount, do you want to send someone to investigate and confirm the authenticity of the news? It’s a big deal, and I’m relieved to wait.”
"Twenty magic stones and a letter, who would use it to deliver false news?" Viscount Harlan leaned on the steel crutch hard, with a complicated look on his face.
He defined Rock as a super genius, so he used it to attract attention and share the pressure on his grandson Charlie, but he didn't expect that the other party really became a super genius and soared into the sky.
And Charlie, who had high hopes, fell.
"Yeah, who would have thought of that." Leo echoed, he was blinded by the above news for a while, and still can't believe it.
"There are always some super geniuses in this world who are good at doing things that others think are impossible. Rock is such a person. I have pity on those grandchildren."
All the apprentices of the direct line are dead~ all are gone, the two illegitimate children are still alive,
He has become a powerful apprentice, and with his wisdom, he can predict that many things must have happened.
He can only bury it in the bottom of his heart, pretending not to know anything, not to touch the secret.
Viscount Harlan was sad for a few minutes, then changed his voice, and ordered: "Rock has become a fifth-level apprentice. We can get news, and the same goes for other families. Send people to pay attention to their movements, and we will definitely find out."
"clear."
"Immediately bring the two ladies to the castle to prevent anyone from taking risks, and their treatment will be arranged according to my arrangement, especially Madam Staci.
In addition, let Steven take over the post of the castle's housekeeper. As for Cole, after the news is confirmed, let him go peacefully, hey! "
After a while, Leo left, and Harlan walked to the window, condescendingly looking down at the entire castle, his mind was flying, and it was difficult to calm down.
Someone in Bambora's family became a fifth-level apprentice, which made him feel relieved. At the same time, he was a little uneasy. After all, Rock was an illegitimate child, not someone who grew up in the castle, and he did not have a strong sense of belonging to the castle.
I'm afraid that he has other thoughts, and I don't know what to do when the time comes.
That afternoon, Staci got the news.
"Larry Knight, do you mean you have news about Rock?" Staci asked quickly, her pupils shrinking.
"That's right, Master Roque---Your Majesty has become a powerful apprentice wizard. The Viscount is worried that someone will harm you, so he will use it to threaten Master Roque, so we ask you to move to the castle.
Don't worry, in the castle, your status is comparable to that of the viscount. If you want to go out for a stroll, you can come out at any time, and no one dares to stop you. "
In order to reassure Ms. Staci, apart from her familiar guard Burt, even Rock's teacher Larry Knight was sent to welcome her to live in the castle.
"You are too kind, thank you for bringing the news, I need to organize things a little bit."
"no problem."
There were outsiders, but Ms. Staci could still maintain a calm posture. When the others left, she entered the room and slumped down on the chair.
"lady?"
Terrified the two maids Demi and Susan. A few months ago, Demi was sent to Redstone to take care of Ms. Staci. Seeing her delicate appearance and being the son's personal maid, she soon gained Staci's love.
"Did you hear that? My Rock is more promising."
"Master Rock is stronger now, even Larry Knight has to address him as 'Master'."
"No matter how powerful he is, he is also my Rock, yet he hasn't written a single letter back. This brat, don't think that I won't dare to beat him up because he became a nobleman."
While going out at the same time, someone else's daughter wrote a letter and came back, but her son didn't send back any news, which made Ms. Staci very depressed, thinking how to teach her stupid son a lesson.
"Ma'am, Master Rock is probably busy improving his strength. In the past, he was very busy practicing and rarely rested."
"Really? When you get to the castle, tell me about Rock's cultivation."
That evening, under the escort of Knight Larry, Ms. Staci entered the castle with her servants and became one of the most prominent figures in the castle.
The arrival of one letter after another broke the peace of Sancai Guyuan, and the birth of a fifth-level apprentice who was very likely to become a wizard made many noble families uneasy.
Within half a month, Bambora Castle welcomed several waves of distinguished guests, conducted friendly discussions, and reached several cooperations, adding a touch of color to the declining castle.
No one cared, the old castle had a new butler, but the original butler never appeared again, including many people related to him, who were said to have been attacked by bandits who were greedy for money.
