Chapter 17 Search

Lin Ria has been eating tastelessly these days, as if she had lost her soul and lifeless. She was imprisoned in her room and guarded by two maids. She could not leave the count's mansion for half a step.

What happened in the past few days frightened Count Lin Feng. First, at the Genesis Ball, Lin Ria and Arcado offended Archbishop Sloc, and then the patriarch of the Rampei family, the old bishop Blair, died of illness, followed by Lan Peggy's family splitting, and finally vaguely learned that Arcado's father committed suicide. One by one, Lin Feng clearly knew that Arcado had offended Archbishop Sloc. The archbishop's revenge was more than once. It was clear that he wanted to play Arcado to death. The news just came that Arcado voluntarily terminated his marriage contract with the Marquis of Violet, and the fool could also think of what had happened. A few days ago, Count Lin Feng took the opportunity of the banquet to apologize to Archbishop Sloc and presented a land lease of a farm on the side of Caen City. Archbishop Sloc gently told Lin Feng not to worry. He did not hate the Lin family.

Count Lin Feng, who was guaranteed, was a little relieved these days, but when he heard Akado's tragic situation, Lin Feng was a little worried about his daughter. He didn't know if his daughter would be too sad and unable to accept the reality after learning about Akado.

At dinner, Count Lin gently told the news of the death of the old Bishop Lan Peiqi. Lin Rhea worried about the news of Arcado, and Lin Feng warned his daughter again: "Ria, you know, Arcado offended one of the most powerful people in the country this time. His backer is now dead. He is going to die. Are you going to take the Lin family to die with that Arcado?

"But, Dad, I just care about my friends." Lin Ria did not dare to disobey her father and said weakly, "Acardo is the only friend of his daughter in school."

"Daughter." Lin Feng said with a painful face, "Traitors don't need friends."

"Yes, Dad." Lin Ria bowed her head and said, "But Arcado said that the strong have someone to follow, and only the weak hate the traitors."

"That boy has some insights." Hearing this, Count Lin Feng's face was good, but then he dimmed: "It's a pity, that boy."

"What's a pity?" Lin Ria asked strangely, "Can I go to mourn Bishop Blair tomorrow?"

"There is no need to mourn." Count Lin Feng decided not to hide it anymore: "Bryor died more than a month ago, and now he doesn't even have a mourning hall."

"Father, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Riya angrily questioned Lin Feng.

"In the New Year, the Lan Peiqi family split up. Arcado and his father only divided into a broken house in the southern district, with hundreds of gold coins." Lin Feng did not answer his daughter and continued, "A few days ago, I didn't know the exact day, but it was true. Arcado's father committed suicide."

"Bang." The teacup in Lin Ria's hand fell to the ground, and the corners of her skirt were wet with tea. She looked at her father faintly.

"Maybe you should go and see him." Count Lin Feng's heart softened. Looking at such a daughter, how could he not know his daughter's mood? He casually said, "Take my bodyguard Germont, go out through the back door, put on a black cloak, and be careful not to be followed when you come back." But you should still be careful not to let people know that Count Lin Feng has anything to do with Arcado again.

"Thank you, Dad." Lin Ruiya turned around and left the room with crystal tears on her face.

"I hope you can see him for the last time." The count muttered.

It was a little dark, and the two figures flashed out of Count Lin's mansion through the back door, went around a few alleys, and went straight to the southern district of Shengdu.

At the same time, a figure with hanging arms and bandages on his face came to the south gate of the capital and slowly walked far away with the flow of people out of the city.

When Linria came to Arcado's cabin, she found that the door was open. Gemon carefully opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman brushing the floor with a brush, and the dirty water in the basin was dyed dark red.

Looking around the house and didn't find the figure she wanted to see, Lin Ria entered the house without permission: "Where is the owner of this house?"

"Are you looking for a little boy named Arcado?" The middle-aged woman looked up and asked, "He sold me the house. I sold it yesterday. I only have time to clean it up today. You know, I'm also a servant of a large family. I don't have that much time." The woman nagging herself.

"What else do you know?" With a tink, a gold coin was thrown in front of the woman. Lin Ria asked blankly, "Tell me about that Akado."

The woman picked up gold coins, wiped them and put them in her pocket, and began to tell what she knew. From Acardo's father committed suicide to being beaten by the Marquis of Violet the morning before yesterday, she was forced to divorce. Until the little boy found her neighbor and sold the house for 20 gold coins.

When the woman finished speaking, she looked up and strangely saw that the beautiful girl in front of her had cried, and the tall bodyguard next to her was comforting her in a low voice.

"There are still some places under the corner of the table that I didn't have time to clean up. You can take a look at the blood stains he left, if you are interested." The woman added that she had a clear conscience for the gold coin.

Lin Ruiya slowly walked to the front and bent down. Gemon cleverly helped to move the table, and Linria saw a square blood stain, which was covered by the legs of the table. This is indeed Akado's blood.

Looking quietly for a while, maybe in a daze for a while, Lin Ria got up and continued, "Thank you for telling me this. I don't think we will see each other again."

Gemon immediately came forward and killed the woman with a dagger. Lin Ria saw the experience of Arcado, which made her have to treat the witnesses who knew she had come carefully. In case of involvement in the Lin family, the Lin family would be as miserable as Arcado.

"Gemon, we are not being followed, are we?" On the way back, Lin Ria, who went around a lot of places, asked.

"Miss, you can feel that we have not been followed." Gemon is an old scout with considerable experience in this field.

"Okay, let's go to the National School of Magic now." Lin Ria said.

The two came to the magic school and went straight to the academic affairs office managed by Lin Ria. Listening to the sound from the floor, Lin Ria remembered that Arcado quietly walked to the door every time, without knocking on the door and waiting for her to speak first.

Opening the door, Lin Ria was stunned. The whole room was cleaned. There was also a beautiful new vase with a blooming rose in it. Next to the vase was the note that Lin Ria lent to Arcado, with a few drops of blood.

Lin Riya seemed to see Akado's figure when cleaning, seemed to see two people chasing and fighting, and seemed to see Akado sitting lonely in the corner of the wall, and couldn't help but feel pain.

She went forward and stroked the notebook. The blood stains on it had already dried up. Open it and looked at it. Lin Ruiya's three beautiful small words were written on the title page, and then the beautiful and familiar handwriting was spread on the paper, recording the theories of various magic arrays. Lin Ruiya quietly turned over and thought of Akado's equal output array. .

After turning to the last page, Lin Ria saw a line of small words on the blank of the last page, on which blood stained with her nails and wrote crookedly: If possible, wait for me to come back.
