Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 224
c218 down-and-out family
“Have you moved already?”
Looking at the vaguely familiar manor in front of him, Yadimu fell into deep thought.
He was a little surprised by this situation, but he didn’t think there was anything too strange.
The distance between the Nok family and Sleepy College is too far. It often takes about a year to receive a letter sent from one side to the other.
With such a long distance, it is normal for the news to be distorted sometimes.
It is possible that the people from the Nok family sent a message to the predecessor, but the predecessor did not receive it at all.
It is normal for letters to have accidents during delivery.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the original person has an indifferent personality and does not pay much attention to family affairs.
He was less than ten years old when he left the family, just a child. He had only come back once in so many years, so naturally he didn’t care about everything in the family.
Because for him, this place is not a so-called home, but a completely strange place.
The side of Sleepy College feels more like home.
Continuing forward, Yadimu thought for a moment, then raised his head: “Please help me make an appointment with the owner of this house.”
No matter how you say it, the Nok family is also a baron family. They are considered local nobles and have some reputation.
If Yadimu wants to find out the information, it shouldn’t be difficult.
It depends on what happens next
Time passed slowly.
The next day, Yadimu came to another place.
“right here?”
Looking at the vaguely shabby and small manor in front of him, Yadimu was a little surprised.
Compared to what he remembered, this place was quite lonely.
In my predecessor’s few memories of the family, I vaguely remembered the prosperity of the Nok family. Although it was not the largest family in the area, it was still considered strong and lived a fairly comfortable life.
As a result, now, it has become like this?
Although they are all manors, the previous one was located in the center of the city and occupied a considerable area.
What was in front of me was not only located outside the city, but also looked so desolate.
This is really
Walking straight in along the road, I met someone at the door and started questioning him.
“This is the private property of the Nok family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Sir, please leave.”
In front of the gate, the attendant in charge of guarding said, his eyes fixed on Yadimu, as if he wanted to see through him.
Meeting his eyes, Yadimu looked up.
Even with just a casual glance, a terrifying sense of oppression emerged.
The dive in front of him weakened his legs and almost collapsed to the ground.
This was the result of Yadimu already holding back, otherwise he would not have collapsed to the ground, but would have been unconscious or even died suddenly.
“I don’t want to talk unnecessary nonsense. Now please let Miss Honey come out to see me.”
Yadimu looked at the other attendants in front of him, and a faint spiritual power emerged from his body, giving everyone in front of him a terrifying sense of oppression: “My time is limited, and I don’t want to waste too much here. Please cooperate.”
A faint mental oppression emerged, causing a huge impact on the people in front of him.
The person in front of him looked at Yadimu nervously, as if he had seen a terrifying wild beast.
But when they heard Ha Ni’s name, their expressions became a little strange.
Yadimu was keenly aware of this.
He frowned: “If Miss Honey is not here, please ask Mr. Carlo to come out and meet me.”
Both of these men were relatively familiar to him in the Nok family.
Among them, Hani is his sister and Carlo is his brother.
Of course, they are all from the same father and mother.
Although they have the same father and mother, compared to others, these two people are already the people he is most familiar with.
So at this time, they were the first thing he thought of.
“you”
The guards in front of him looked at each other in confusion, and the weird expressions on their faces became even more serious.
One of them was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
“Do you know my father?”
A childish voice came from behind.
Yadimu turned around and saw that it was a child.
It was a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a white dress. She was standing there looking at Yadimu.
“Who are you?”
Looking at the girl’s vaguely familiar face, Yadimu’s heart moved: “Carlo’s child?”
The girl hesitated for a while before nodding.
“Is that so?”
Yadimu slowly knelt down and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile on his face: “My name is Roland.”
“Are you Uncle Roland?”
Upon hearing the name, the girl’s face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
This reaction made Yadimu feel a little strange.
He hasn’t been here all year round, and no one in the family knows anyone at all. They thought that not many people knew him after such a long time.
Unexpectedly, this niece whom she had never met knew his name clearly.
From the looks of it, it must be his cheap brother who is often whispering in his ears.
Various thoughts flashed through Yadimu’s mind.
“Take me to see your father.”
Looking at the girl in front of him, he smiled and said, asking her to take him directly to find someone.
It was just at this time that the guards on the side showed something a little unusual.
Seeing Yadimu reveal his identity and want to find his brother, the first reaction of these guards was not to apologize respectfully, but to subconsciously stop him.
thump!
Several sounds came out at the same time, which were the sounds made by several figures landing at the same time.
The powerful mental power was released and directly pressed them tightly, making them lose the ability to resist. At the same time, their whole brains buzzed as if they were about to explode.
The severe pain made them roll on the ground, almost going crazy.
After a while, the feeling subsided.
But before they could rejoice, they saw Yadimu with a cold face in front of them.
“Get up now and follow me.”
“Think carefully about your current actions. If I am not satisfied, I don’t think you want to know the result.”
Several people in front of him looked at each other, and in the end, without exception, they all walked in front of Yadimu.
boom!
A crisp sound sounded, and then the body of one of them exploded, and the minced meat fell to the ground. The scene looked extremely bloody.
“Forgot to remind you.”
Yadimu held the little girl in his arms and covered her eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene in front of her: “I can know what you are thinking, so if you have any extra thoughts, take a look first Can you bear it?”
“That’s all I have to say, now please lead the way.”
The people around him looked at the broken corpse in front of him, and then at Yadimu who was standing in front of him. He was obviously a young man, but he looked like a devil. Their severe fear became more and more intense, and they finally dared not move at all. , I don’t even dare to have superfluous thoughts.
They came forward slowly.
To Yadimu’s expectation, except for the guards in front of the gate, Yadimu didn’t see many guards elsewhere.
It seemed that all the power in the entire manor was concentrated in front of the gate.
But it doesn’t seem strange when you think about it.
After all, judging from the current situation, the Nok family is already in such dilapidation, and there is no extra manpower left.
After all, it costs a lot of money to keep a guard.
Yadimu moved forward and came to a corner.
Looking here, he couldn’t help but look.
The overall feeling of the entire manor is not as good as the previous manor.
But that doesn’t mean that the manor is all dilapidated.
In fact, the buildings in the core area are still quite intact. There are well-decorated rooms, stables and other equipment, and they all seem to be well maintained.
On the other hand, this place is not the same. It looks dilapidated overall, and it is impossible to tell that it is a place where nobles live.
Yadimu found a middle-aged man inside.
Although he is said to be middle-aged, he is actually only in his early thirties, but he looks quite mature.
However, considering the general situation of this era, his situation is actually not surprising.
When Yadimu saw the other party, the other party also saw Yadimu.
At first glance, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t recognize it.
But they are brothers after all, and they have met a few times before, so the vague feeling of familiarity is still there.
Soon, he guessed Yadimu’s identity, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“Roland, is that you?”
There was a look of surprise on his face, and he quickly stepped forward, looking at Yadimu with some strangeness and anxiety.
His face was full of excitement, and it was by no means false, but the most genuine expression of emotion.
“Brother Carlo, long time no see.”
Looking at the other party’s appearance, Yadimu smiled and finally said hello.
A moment later, in Carlo’s room.
A tablecloth was placed on a wooden table, with several plates of side dishes placed on it.
The woman on the side was busy there, trying to put some decent dishes on the table.
Yadimu looked at the dining table.
There are a lot of things on the table at the moment, but if you look closely, there is nothing good at all. There is only a piece of tasteless air-dried meat. There is no fresh fruit to see. Even the wine that represents the dignity of the nobles is inferior and pungent. , like the crude fruit wine sold outside.
Yadimu could even see several dishes made from wild vegetables on the dining table.
It can be seen from these things that his brother is already in a very difficult situation.
“Feel sorry.”
Facing Yadimu’s gaze, Carlo sighed and seemed a little embarrassed: “It’s so rare for you to come back, but I can only use these things to entertain you. This is really true.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Yadimu smiled: “When I was at the academy, the things there were not much better than here. I just dealt with them casually.”
“Dana.”
He looked at the little girl who was looking timidly and looking at the food with some longing, and then smiled: “You come too.”
The girl did not step forward immediately, but timidly turned her head to look at Carlo, as if she wanted to get his permission.
