I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

Shelton Castle.

Lolina looked at the head in the wooden box excitedly, and her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When little Payton turned and left the room, Lorena's mouth curved into an arc.

She knew she would not die. This period of anxiety was like purgatory for her.

……

Time goes back to the day when Leon left.

After Lorena finished her meeting with Leon, she saw Ivers in the room. Her legs became weak and she collapsed to the ground like an invertebrate.

Ivers walked towards her slowly, "Click~" "Click~"

Every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.

Ivers wanted to touch Lorena's cheek, but seeing the sweat of fear on it, he just touched her head.

"Lorina, I can't bear to kill you. I can't forget your twists and turns. Besides, haven't you always wanted to give me a child?"

Ivers' whisper gave Lolina hope, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kissed Ivers' shoes.

"Master! Please punish me!"

Ivers snorted coldly, "What did you say to Leon? What did you do?"

Lolina was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly and could not speak clearly.

"Master... we didn't do anything. I just... asked Master Leon about Peter... and wanted Master Leon to give him a quick death..."

Lolina didn't dare to plead for mercy and could only vaguely describe her statement.

"Ha, is that so? That's better.

But... you and Leon have been alone for quite a while, so you still need to get checked out."

Ivers lifted Lorena's chin with his toes and said, "Stand up now. I want to see if Leon... has the courage!"

Lolina looked terrified and took off her dress with trembling hands.

The Creator is always unfair. Every now and then a piece of work becomes a work of art, exuding the breath of desire.

Ivers nodded with satisfaction. "Look, what a charming body! How could I bear to kill you?"

Ivers has a magic that can track breath, so he also uses this magic as a means to test whether a woman has betrayed him.

"The premise is... you didn't lie to me." Ivers carefully checked for a while, but didn't find the scent of other men on his fingers. So Ivers raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, you didn't lie."

Ivers reached out and patted Lorena's cheek. "I remember your birthday is coming soon. What kind of gift do you want?"

Lorena knelt on the ground again, "Master, I want Peter to die!"

"Oh? Hahahahaha! Great! Then as you wish, I'll have someone bring his head back to you."

……

The days of anxiety became a thing of the past. Now that Peter was dead, he probably wouldn't reveal their past.

Lorena was in a good mood. She stroked Peter's face gently. After a while, Lorena shouted to the door, "Someone come!"

A maid came in and said, "Go, throw this away and feed it to the dogs."

"yes."……

Leon interrogated Neheke for up to two hours every day.

Of course, in the name of confidentiality, Leon interrogated each person alone.

Finally, after five days of patience, Leon felt that the time was right and he could take action.

"Mr. Nehekai, do you have anything else to say?"

Nihekai still snorted coldly and said nothing.

Leon smiled indifferently, “Sir, I mean, do you have any last words to say?”

Nihekai was stunned. These past few days, this young man would sit at the table every time, not asking him questions, not torturing him, but instead eating and drinking well.

This made Nehekai feel a little favorable towards Leon, but today, he actually asked him to say his last words?

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, I don't expect you to give me any prescriptions, so how can that be a threat?

I just thought, since you are a Potions Master after all, I wanted to ask if you have any last words."

Nehekai laughed loudly, "Boy, I have walked more bridges than you have walked roads, and eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Do you think your little tricks can scare me?

Come on, do it, I don't believe you want to kill me."

With a "clang", the sword was unsheathed.

Leon mercilessly cut off Nehekai's neck.

Nehekai's face was filled with astonishment, as if asking, "How dare you? You actually dare to kill me!?"

It was the same process, Leon wiped the sword clean and then asked little Peyton to come in and retract the head.

Little Payton looked at the expression on Nehekai's face and wondered what had happened to make this old man so surprised?

Could it be that the young master really found out something during the interrogation?

Leon didn't pay attention to Payton's actions, but came to the mental space to check the progress bar this time.

Neheke Elizabeth, estimated time remaining: 108 hours, 36 minutes, 17 seconds...

"Huh? He actually has Elizabeth's blood? Doesn't that mean they're relatives?"

This question can only be explored later when I look back on my memory.

But this time...

108 hours?

According to the rules summarized by Leon, it shouldn't take that long for a high-level wizard apprentice, so... this also means that the quality of Neheke's soul is very high!

No wonder he is a potion master who can develop potions that are effective even for second-level wizards!

I'm afraid his mental strength is almost catching up with that of a formal wizard.

Leon rubbed his hands excitedly. He knew that this would be his biggest gain in recent times.

Standing outside the prison gate, Leon looked up at the bright moon and stars in the sky, hoping that one day he would be able to touch them.

"Master." Little Payton came out holding the embalmed head.

This time the wooden box was not as exquisite and looked a bit sloppy.

Leon nodded and said, "It's getting late today. You can return to the castle tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master!"

"By the way, tell my father that now that I've completed his orders, can I send another prisoner over? Even if he's not a high-level wizard apprentice."

Little Peyton: ...

"Yes, Master, I will tell the Master what you said."

The evening breeze at the end of November was freezing cold, but Leon's heart was burning with passion.

In another month, the year-end performance review will begin again, and this family meeting will also determine the arrangements for him and Dick in the next few years.

At almost the same time, at Black Snake Ridge far away on the other side.

This is the fiefdom that Dick is in charge of.

The breeding of the Black Water Snake is the top priority of the Shelton family. The flesh and blood of the Black Water Snake can help the Shelton family practice, and the snaketail grass that accompanies it is also a medicinal herb that is beneficial for meditation.

Dick is undoubtedly gifted, but without these resources, he would not have been able to cultivate so quickly.

In the study, Dick looked at the latest news about Blue Lake Town.

He would receive such a message almost every one or two days, which showed how much Dick valued his brother Leon.

Dick was very disdainful of Leon practicing Knight's Breathing and wasting his time on a bunch of smelly prisoners.

If Dick didn't want to make Leon proud, he would even want to give all the prisoners in his hands to Leon.
