Duke of Silver Arrow

Chapter 11

On the island, there is a tranquil lake in front of your eyes, surrounded by lush mountains, and trees growing near the water, and the singing of warblers and birds in the air makes your heart quiet.

There are more than a dozen kinds of wild fish in this lake, and there are also fry grown by the servants at home.

Not far away on the grass is the old Duke and Duchess.

The old Duke introduced the species, characteristics and value of these fish to them one by one. In fact, Brian had listened to them since he was a child, and almost memorized them by heart, but he also listened silently with his head down, and sometimes added a sentence or a half.

Chris listened with gusto. The old duke was talking about how to make delicious fish when he felt a touch on his shoulder. Looking back, Brian winked at him.

Chris showed him what was wrong with his eyes.

In fact, the old duke would say that the fish he made was hard to swallow. Brian intentionally teased his father, so he covered Chris's ears with a layer of magic power and said, "Wait a minute. Make it for us to eat."

Ever since he drank the fruit milk made by Chris, Brian believed that Chris's cooking skills were very good. Fortunately, Chris's grilled fish was really good.

When it was almost noon, several people had caught a lot and were about to pack up their things and go back, when the sky started to rain lightly.

Because it's not big, everyone didn't take it seriously.But who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Chris subconsciously made a protective shield for the two of them with his right hand, and held Brian's hand with his left hand, and felt his hand was cold immediately.

Just as Brian was about to release his magic power, he felt that the top of his head had been blocked. He turned his head and smiled, "Thank you."

Chris didn't dare to look at him: "You're welcome."

The old duke over there also protected himself and his wife, and he would not go back to the castle under such heavy rain, so he could just eat fish on the island.

The old Duke and his wife led the way, followed by Brian and Chris, and came to a villa along a gravel road.

Hidden among the trees, this villa has a small and beautiful style, which is quite different from the castle.

Several people entered the villa and lit the fireplace. Chris asked Brian and the two old people to sit by the fireplace to enjoy the fire, opened the window by himself, set up a grill on the open space at the door, and started grilling fish.

He learned the skill of grilling fish from his master. In those years, the two of them often lived and ate with the mercenary regiment. His master's skill in grilling fish was a must.

After taking out the usual tools and seasonings from the small gourd, Brian sneezed.

The Duchess quickly asked, "Have you caught a cold? You are weak, you should have come here earlier."

"It doesn't matter, you just treat me like a baby," Brian turned to the old prince and said, "Father, from your professional point of view, how is Chris doing?"

After speaking, they exchanged glances with the Duchess, and the two secretly laughed.

The old prince didn't realize it, and really sat down to study it.

Sensing the sight of everyone, Chris straightened his back unconsciously, and his movements of handling the fish scales also stiffened a bit.

Fortunately, the old Duke quickly said: "Chris is studying very well!"

Chris turned around and smiled, "Thank you for your compliment."

The old duke turned his head and said to the two people who were secretly laughing: "Aren't I right?"

Brian laughed loudly: "No, father, you are absolutely right!"

The Duchess also couldn't help laughing: "You, Chris is obviously better at baking than you!"

After talking and laughing, Chris's fish was grilled and brought them one for each of them.Brian took out a few bottles of fruit wine from the magic ring, leaned in front of the grill, and sat with Chris while grilling and eating.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and the few people were quite at ease inside the villa.

In the evening, the rain gradually stopped, and several people rowed back to the shore again.

After dinner, Chris finished washing when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Brian?"

"It's me, Chris."

Chris noticed that Brian was wearing a loose red silk nightgown, showing his white neck and delicate collarbone.

He quickly let people into the house.

After the two sat down, Chris asked, "What's wrong?"

"I feel that my health is not very good. It may be aggravated by the rain. So I want to leave as soon as possible."

Chris put his hand on his forehead when he heard the words: "You have a fever, don't you call me a pastor?"

"It's a common thing, don't disturb them. We'll leave tomorrow, okay?"

"no problem."

"Great," Brian stepped forward to hug Chris, "Thank you Chris, good night."

Chris felt the high temperature on his body and said worriedly: "Good night, remember to take medicine."

Brian turned around and smiled, "Don't worry."

After he left, Brian opened his pocket watch to observe his situation, and saw that although he was lying on the bed, his brows were tightly frowned, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a long time.

The next day, after breakfast, Brian proposed to leave.

Because he often left after staying at home for two days, the old duke and his wife were used to it, so they didn't stop him.

Once out of the territory of the Richardson family, Brian ordered the four Thunder Beasts pulling the cart to speed up.

Three days later, he finally returned to Snow Manor.

In the past three days, Brian's situation has been good and bad.

After getting off the carriage, Chris hurriedly asked the steward Steven to invite the old pastor Simon.

This is just to seek psychological comfort. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Brian's illness is diagnosed or not.

After the old pastor Simon came, he said a few words of persuasion and told him to take good care of him.

After sending off the pastor, Chris came back to find Brian.

Unexpectedly, no one could be found, butler Steven said: "I remembered, the Duke spends time in the basement at this time of year."

So Chris followed the butler to the basement of the castle.

This basement is just under Brian's study, and the mechanism is on a crystal ball placed on top of the bookcase.

After opening the door, I felt a gust of cold air gushing out. Seeing that there was a staircase below, Chris called out to Brian.

No one responded.

Chris squatted at the stairs, and it was clear at a glance. There was a narrow wooden bed against the wall, and there were tables and chairs beside it.There is nothing else.

There was no sign of Brian in the basement either.

After looking around, he finally found him in a daze in the guest room where Jason lived.

Chris just felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.

The door was open, and he knocked on the door: "Brian, I have something to tell you."

"Wait a minute, please," Brian wiped his tears, turned around and came out: "What's the matter, Chris?"

Chris was silent.

Brian realized what was going on, and urged, "What's wrong?"

Chris hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Ten years ago, did you kill a little boy by mistake?"

"What?" Brian thought for a while, and then said, "You mean the kid who came to seek medical attention? I didn't."

"You probably didn't know, and Steven probably wouldn't have told you. You threw him out, and then he was stuck on a branch and died."

Brian argued: "Impossible. I obviously didn't use any force at the time, I just sent people out."

"But he died! I vividly remember him dying right in front of me. Brian, let's face it!" Chris yelled angrily.

"Don't get excited, it's really impossible Chris. If you don't believe it, we can do an experiment."

Chris shook his head and said, "That's enough Brian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"Don't you understand who I am? Chris, why do you convict people indiscriminately?" Brian was also a little angry.

"You are so stubborn, I am so disappointed in you."

"Me too, Chris." Brian said coldly.

"Let's duel," Chris pulled out his sword: "I'll give you time to prepare, let's start."

Brian was taken aback, but he refused to act: "Do whatever you want!"

Chris frowned: "That's good."

He thrust the sword out, hitting Brian in the heart.

Although the sword stabbed out, but for some reason, he didn't use any fighting spirit.

Brian snorted, then bit his lips tightly, refusing to make any more noise.

Chris looked at him in pain, and couldn't do it anymore.

"Gentlemen, it's time for lunch." The voice of steward Steven came.

He exclaimed: "My God! What's going on here?"

Chris hastily pulled out the sword.

Black blood spurted out, and Brian's body shook.

Chris wanted to support him subconsciously, but was pushed away by the butler.

Steven stepped forward to support Brian and shouted, "Priest! Call the pastor!"

Chris stood there awkwardly, bewildered.

Together with the servants, the butler helped Brian to his bedroom.

The old pastor Simon came in a hurry to diagnose and treat Brian.

Chris felt shameless and continued to stay, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," steward Steven chased him out, "Mr. Brook, this is from the Duke."

is a letter.

"Here is the letter of recommendation from the Duke to Stuart Nell, the principal of Mingcha School of Magic. He told me to give it to you." Steven paused, and after Chris received the letter, he continued: "Mr. Brook, I heard that your hometown is Hongwa Town. There was a huge flood there 13 years ago. You should remember it."

"Yes."

"The Duke was very anxious when he heard about it. He conducted measurements and experiments day and night, and finally developed a small magic circle that can effectively solve the damage caused by the flood. You must have heard of it, right?"

Chris had indeed heard that the flood problem that had plagued his hometown for many years was later solved by a powerful magician, and he was grateful at the time, but he didn't know that the magician was Brian.

He didn't know what to say: "I..."

"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone who repays kindness and revenge. Mr. Brooke, take the letter of recommendation and leave."

After Steven finished speaking, he hurried back to Brian's bedroom.

Chris stood blankly holding the letter for a while, and finally left Snow Manor with his unicorn to go to Mingcha School of Magic.

Mingcha School of Magic is located in Siguier, the capital of the Oshen Empire.

Along the way, Chris was in a daze. At first, he couldn't help opening his pocket watch to see how Brian was doing, but he couldn't bear to look at it later.

After a few days of driving, I came to Siguel.
