If it rains, you'll be drenched

Herbert limped back to Luoyu City, dragging his body covered in dust.

The soul of the old Duke Graff possessed by the little black cat has dissipated, and the suppressed soul of the little black cat now regains control of the body.Because the little black cat is not familiar with Herbert, the little black cat's memory still stays in the humiliating night when it was caught by Herbert six years ago, so the little black cat scratched three times on Herbert's face. The blood marks stopped.

The little black cat stopped because Herbert didn't resist at all, and he was very dirty.As a qualified cat, he never bullied the weak, so he reluctantly continued to be hugged by this dirty human being.

The city is resettling the victims, and no one recognizes the lieutenant general who has been missing for a day and night, and now he is back in such a state of embarrassment.

The sweet-scented osmanthus in the city is blooming, and the life in this world has its own rules, when it is born, when it dies, when it blooms, and when it bears fruit.

Just like such a huge disaster happened in this city today, after a sunny day, the flowers will still bloom, and the days will still move forward.

Just like everything taken away by fate in this world, one day it will be compensated in another way.

Herbert dragged his exhausted body back home, only to find that Red Maple Castle was completely different from the mess outside, not at all what it looked like after the disaster.

On the contrary, it seems to be more dignified than before.

Herbert went further in, through the garden, and found a...horse tied to the door?

Butler Stewell, with his obsessive-compulsive disorder, allowed a horse to be tied to the doorknob of the gate of Red Maple Castle?

When Herbert walked further in, he found a very fragrant broth smell coming from inside. Herbert thought it was because he had been hungry for more than a day and a night, but after walking inside, he found that it was really delicious.

Because there was a row of maids and maids sitting in the corridor drinking soup and talking quietly as they watched Herbert come back.

When Herbert entered the dining room, he found a strange man standing behind a bucket of broth and a basket of bread, and there was a long queue in front of the tables.

Herbert stood by, bewildered.

The man was tall and strong, like a bear, wearing simple plain clothes, but he could see muscular chest muscles and biceps, a thick brown-red curly hair, and his entire face was submerged in the long absence Underneath the groomed beard.

The man greeted Herbert warmly: "Hi, do you need some hot soup and bread?"

Just like 700 years ago, this simple man asked the heads of two families who were about to freeze on the side of the road.

Herbert hugged the cat and was speechless for a long time.

Until the queue in the restaurant stopped coming in, only Herbert and the man were left in the restaurant. The man served himself a bowl of soup, and when he raised his hand to drink the soup, Herbert saw the one on the man's left wrist. Iron bracelet.

"Bruno? Why are you here?"

Bruno drank the soup: "This is the soup stewed with venison in the Silver Moon Forest. It's not bad. Don't you really want to try it?"

"Why are you at my house?"

Bruno: "Is it weird that I'm in my own house?"

Herbert looked into Bruno's brown eyes for a long time, and felt that Bruno's words made sense.Reasonably speaking, the Graff family and the Alcott family were the robbers, who took away the fief and castle that originally belonged to their Red Maple family.

Herbert also took some food, sat down opposite Bruno, and ate for a long time in silence before he was full.

"Do you have a razor here?"

Bruno's hair was thick and his beard was so long that he couldn't see his face clearly.

Herbert finally realized something was wrong when he was full.

"Aren't you an undead knight? Why can you appear in my house as a body?"

Bruno: "Just like, the little black cat can become your father in his own room, because this castle is my territory, and I have more control over this castle than everyone here, including you .”

"Then does your soul also need to be attached to some kind of animal?"

Bruno: "Us undead knights generally attach their souls to mounts, so that's why we call them undead knights, not walking knights or flying knights."

Herbert secretly planned in his mind to find time to stab the horse at the door.

Bruno: "I can also attach my soul to a cat."

The little black cat was immediately alert, and its khaki eyes widened.

Bruno: "Little boy, don't be afraid, big brother won't hurt you."

Herbert: "..."

Little black cat: "..."

Bruno: "Don't look at me like that, I was only 28 when I died."

Herbert: "..."

Bruno: "It's just this beard that looks old, but you tell me where I can find a razor. There are a lot of people living here now, and I'm not used to rummaging through other people's things."

Herbert gave Bruno a new razor and a bottle of shaving cream.

Bruno shaved off his beard while whistling in the mirror.

Herbert was stunned.After Bruno shaved off his beard, he turned out to be a handsome young man with curly reddish-brown hair, brown pupils, a straight nose, and a thin and long face.Speaking of the old antique unearthed 700 years ago, it is actually a bit beautiful, and even when looking at Herbert, he smiled a little shyly.

Bruno walked up to Herbert, who held the cat for a long time and didn't know what to say.Herbert once dreamed of this face. In his vague dreams, in those nights when he was bullied and cried to sleep when he was a child, he always vaguely remembered a brown-haired person chatting with him to make him happy.Although he had to continue to face reality after waking up from the dream, those dreams had given Herbert a lot of strength.

Herbert lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Bruno again: "You have entered Red Maple Castle, will the Red Tower Rebellion continue?"

Bruno: "No more rebellion, I'm back. Isn't it my goal to go back to Red Maple Castle? By the way, where should I sleep tonight?"

Herbert turned and walked out the door: "Just choose which room you lived in before and which one you live in."

*

Bruno walked with Herbert, and then stopped at the door of Herbert's room.

Herbert: "...this room is now my room."

Bruno: "So we've been sleeping in the same room for so long."

Herbert sighed: "Go and see my father's room."

Herbert led Bruno on and on again.

Bruno: "Oh, my dad also lived in this room."

In fact, Herbert didn't plan to let Bruno live here, and he didn't know why he wanted to come here all of a sudden, he just wanted to come here all of a sudden.

When I opened the door, I found that something was different from before.No matter how dark it was in the past, there was always a little light.The source of this little light was old Duke Graff's bedside night-light, which was never extinguished, the little red night-light.

But today the night light went out.

Herbert turned on the headlights and walked over to see if it was a problem with the light bulbs. When he looked inside the night light, there were no light bulbs at all.

As if overnight, a thick layer of dust had accumulated in the old Duke Graff's room.

In front of the night light, covered in dust, was a pair of rings of a style that was popular at least 20 years ago, when it was fashionable to make diamonds very large to show love, and this pair of rings was of this style.

Herbert recognized it as the wedding ring of the old Duke and Duchess of Graff.Herbert could probably guess what was going on with the current appearance.

That little night light represents the life of the mother Redela.Since my mother was arrested and taken into the Red Tower when I was three years old, this light has been on my father's bedside.

Now the pair of rings, the night light has been turned off, which probably means that his parents have already left.Although he has lived so long, in this ancient castle, parental affection has always been a luxury.But having a parent is not the same as never seeing them again.

For a moment, Herbert felt particularly empty and afraid, but he didn't know where this feeling came from and how to eliminate it.

Tonight, it seemed that Iris didn't come home, and probably went to stay at Gullweger's house again.

Herbert touched the dust on the bed cabinet.

"I can't sleep in this room anymore, go to sleep in my room."

"Is there no other room to sleep in?"

Herbert closed the door of the old Duke Graff's room without looking back, "No more."

Bruno caught up a few steps: "You are such a liar, you never keep your promises and rules."

Herbert turned around and asked Bruno, "Are you sleeping or not?"

Bruno smiled and said, "Sleep."

700 years ago, in the knee-deep snow, the snow accumulated on the head and eyebrows of the lying Kerwin, his lips were blue from the cold, and his whole body was almost dead, but those blue eyes The moment it opened, Bruno Redmap never came out of it again.

Bruno chased after him: "Hey, Herbert, do you know when I first saw you?"

Herbert: "Silver Moon Forest?"

Bruno smiled: "If you don't count 700 years ago, it would be more than 20 years ago. Wow, a little red-haired doll was crying so sadly under the red tower. While crying, he said who bullied you, so the list of bullies is the top three. There are not enough pages to list, and I knew you must be exaggerating when I heard it. Also, your face was chubby at that time, and you really wanted to pinch it."

Herbert looked at Herbert indifferently.

Bruno: "Your family's blue eyes are beautiful."

Herbert took the man back to his room, took out a quilt from the cabinet, and threw it on the sofa.

"Here, you can sleep on the sofa."

Self-absorbed Bruno: "!!!"

In the monastery in the east of the city, the nuns had just counted the damaged rooms, and there were only a few rooms that could be lived in temporarily, so everyone crowded together.

The night is quiet, and the moonlight shines on the land as before. The formerly glorious Luoyu City is now in ruins, but fortunately, there is a buffer period of three days.

The monastery in the east of the city is at the very edge of Luoyu City, and after going out, it is the village of the villagers, and it is very special, half of it is inside the Holy Spirit barrier, and the other half is outside the Holy Spirit barrier.

Sister Anna woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, still trembling when she thought of the dangers of the past two days.

Anna crawled over the sleeping bodies of several nuns, finally got off the bunk, put on her shoes and went to the bathroom.

The silvery white moonlight shone on the blooming osmanthus tree at the door, Anna relaxed slightly in the fragrance, and prayed to God, hoping that His Royal Highness Heller would return in three days and save Luoyu City.

"hiss……"

Anna suddenly heard a strange sound, like the sound of air leaking from a broken throat.

Anna turned around timidly, and the cross in her hand fell to the ground.

It was a half-corrupted face, the skin peeled off like a wall, some places still had carrion buried with black blood vessels, and some places directly saw the white bones underneath.The zombie walked crookedly, grinning, with only one eyeball that was too huge because of the lack of eyelids, staring at Anna, and stretched out a hand with black, pointed nails.

"Ah———————" screams pierced the night sky.

Inside Palum Palace.

"Princess Bertha, zombies were found in the east of the city."

"Many incidents of animals hurting people have been found in the city!"

"There are vampires who can turn into bats."

"Villagers controlled by black magic have begun to appear in nearby villages."

The three-day truce was won by the king's life, but apart from the Holy Spirit barrier, the villagers near Luoyu City also began to fall into crisis.More and more nearby villagers have fled into the Holy Spirit barrier, bringing news from nearby.Many people have died in the nearby villages, and evil black bats are flying above almost every village.

Princess Bertha, Olivia and King Mason of Xuanling Kingdom are sitting in the chamber.

Olivia and Princess Bertha have met many pharmacists, and have planned for two days, but the enemy's strength is gradually growing, and ghosts are coming from everywhere, and they are constantly hitting the Holy Spirit barrier to die. There appears to be no upper limit.On the other hand, it seems that there is less and less chance of winning.

Not counting these endless ghosts, even those undead knights cannot be dealt with by the remaining holy light mages in the city.

Princess Bertha looked sad.

"Where's Heller?" Mason asked.

Olivia: "He stepped down as the heir to the throne and went to Xia Luan Principality."

Mason: "He should come back to help at this time."

Princess Bertha smiled: "Heller will definitely come back, I believe in him."

Olivia: "Queen, how do we defend Luoyu City?"

Princess Bertha looked at the faint moonlight outside: "Actually, sometimes I wonder if it was really right for us to break the oath and drive away the Redmap family and establish the Maple Kingdom. But is everything now true at that time?" What will happen to our two families who betrayed their promises?"

The author has something to say:

A chat in Hongta more than 20 years ago:

Redela: Hey, the kid Herbert comes here crying every day, it hurts so much

Bruno: Kerwin has been a crybaby all his life.

Redela: Who?

Bruno: If a boy is always crying, just give him a sister.

Redela: That makes sense.

Thus, there was Iris during the Hongta Rebellion 18 years ago.
