When Field returned to his room, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate. I thought about William's words just now.
Emily died.
Killed by William.
This message was like a thorn in his heart.
No, to be precise, it pierced into the heart of the original owner. As a modern person, Qin Hao is actually very indifferent to this world. But the memories and emotions of the original owner are affecting him, especially the innocent love for Emily.
"Damn." Field opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "The hormones in this body are really troublesome." "
Knowing that he was a time-traveler, he knew that these were not his memories, but the anger and sadness really came to his heart.
Forget it, since you have inherited this body, then take these love debts together.
Field turned over and sat up, just about to pack his luggage, when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Brother~"
A sweet voice sounded, and Field looked back and saw a blonde girl running in.
Ana Ezera, his half-sister, is sixteen years old.
Unlike William's yin and yang weirdness, Anna looks quite cute. Standard doll appearance: blonde curly hair, big blue eyes, round face, petite figure. Wearing a little pink dress, she looks like an innocent princess.
"Anna." Field nodded, "Is there something wrong?" "
"I heard that my brother is going to the night tomorrow?" Anna blinked her big eyes and looked a little reluctant, "Anna will miss her brother." "
This sounds quite sincere. Field learned from the original owner's memory that although Anna was Alicia's daughter, her personality was quite simple and she had no ill will towards his brother.
It's not like William's crazy criticism.
"I will miss Anna too." Field said cooperatively, "You have to take good care of yourself." "
"Hmm!" Anna nodded vigorously, then took out a small package from behind her, "This is the snack that Anna prepared for her brother to eat on the way!" It's all my brother's favorite flavor! "
Field took the package and opened it to see that it contained some delicate little cookies. It smells good and looks delicious.
"Thank you." Field thanked him sincerely.
Although it is just a few snacks, it is really warm to have someone who really cares about him in this malicious family.
Anna suddenly twisted a little, "Brother, can Anna ask you a question?" "
"What's the problem?"
"Brother... Really don't like your mother? "
Field was stunned for a moment. This question is a bit sharp.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because... Because Anna could see that the relationship between her brother and her mother was very bad. Anna lowered her head, "But mother... In fact, I also care about my brother. It's just that the expression is a bit..."
"What is it?"
"It's a bit clumsy." Anna whispered, "Mother, she... She is actually not easy. After marrying into this family, there are always people who speak ill of her, saying that she relied on her beauty to get to the top. So she has to be strong to protect herself and us. "
Field sneered in his heart when he heard this.
Good guy, this little girl is not very old, but her whitewashing skills are a set.
Alicia acted strong to protect her family? How to explain the killing of his biological mother? How to explain the exile of him to the Nightfall?
But Field didn't mean to argue with a sixteen-year-old girl. After all, from Anna's point of view, Alicia is indeed a good mother. As for being a stepmother... Then hehe.
"I understand." Field nodded, "The matter between me and your mother is complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words." But don't worry, I won't take my anger on you." "
Anna breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again: "That's good!" Brother is so nice! "
As she spoke, Anna suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Field on the cheek.
"This is Anna's farewell kiss! I hope my brother will lead everything well at night!" "
After saying that, Anna jumped out and ran out.
Field touched the place where he was kissed, feeling complicated.
This girl... It's really distressing.
In this family environment, it is a miracle to be able to maintain such innocence.
But this is good, at least it proves that she has not been completely broken.
Field packed up his mood and began to pack his luggage. It is said to be luggage, but in fact it is nothing. A few changes of clothes, some daily necessities, and the only little private money that the original owner had - a total of fifty gold coins.
For an aristocrat, this money is indeed shabby.
But for Field, who is about to go to the night to lead the "entrepreneurship", it is barely enough.
After packing his things, Field tried to activate the map system in his mind again.
[Wasteland Plunder System]Standby...
[System prompt: You need to reach the Night Leader to officially activate it]
[Currently available function: terrain detection (range: 10 kilometers)]
Field tried to use the terrain detection function, and a map centered on himself immediately came to mind.
The map clearly shows the structure of Ezera Manor, and even each room is clearly marked. This feature... It's simply the most advanced radar!
With this ability, it is not too simple to engage in intelligence, assassination, etc.
Field closed the map with satisfaction and lay on the bed ready to sleep.
I'm leaving tomorrow, so take a good rest tonight.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open again.
This time it was not Anna who came in, but a strange middle-aged man.
This man was burly, with a scar on his face, wearing leather armor and a long sword hanging from his waist. At first glance, he looks like a battle-hardened veteran.
"You are Master Field?" The man's voice was rough, "My name is Barrett, and I will escort you to Nightfall tomorrow on the orders of the Count. "
Escort? Field sneered in his heart, this was more like surveillance.
"Thank you for your hard work." Field said politely.
Barrett glanced at Field, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes: "I heard that the young master has never left the manor?" "
"Yes."
"Night collar is not a good place." Barrett sneered, "I hope the young master can... Adapt. "
This is very meaningful. Field was keenly aware that this Barrett's hostility towards him was obvious.
It seems that Alicia sent not some bodyguard, but an executioner.
"I'll adapt." Field said calmly, "After all... I'm looking forward to my new life. "
Barrett was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Field to be so calm.
According to his imagination, this pampered noble young master should have been trembling with fright.
"That's good." Barrett nodded, "We will set off at sunrise tomorrow, young master, please be ready." "
After saying that, Barrett turned to leave.
Field looked at his back, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Want to do something on the road?
Then let's see whose methods are smarter.
Early the next morning, Field was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Young master, it's time to go."
Field got up to wash up, carried his luggage and walked out of the room.
At the gate of the manor, Barrett had prepared a carriage. It was not a luxury carriage, it was an ordinary freight carriage, and it didn't even have a roof to protect it from the wind and rain.
It seems that he will be tortured even on the road.
"Young master, please get in the car." Barrett made a gesture of invitation, but his eyes were full of mockery.
Field didn't say much and jumped straight into the carriage.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded:
"Brother! Wait a minute! "
Field looked back and Anna ran over panting.
"I almost forgot!" Anna took out a small object from her arms and handed it to Field, "This is Anna's amulet!" With it, my brother will be safe! "
Field took a look and saw that it was a delicate little bell, silver with intricate patterns carved on it.
"Thank you." Field said sincerely gratefully.
Although he didn't know if this bell had any practical effect, he accepted this feeling.
"Then Anna won't send her brother." Anna's eyes were a little red, "Brother must come back to see Anna!" "
"Definitely." Field nodded in agreement.
The carriage began to move slowly, and Field glanced back at Ezera Manor.
This place where he has lived for eighteen years, today may be the last time we meet.
But it doesn't matter.
This has never been his home.
The carriage drove out of the manor gate and began to bump through the country road.
Sitting in the carriage, Field closed his eyes to recuperate, but in fact kept using the system's detection function to observe the situation around him.
Barrett rode his horse and followed the carriage, ostensibly to protect him, but in fact Field could sense his malice.
This guy must not be at ease.
But Field was not in a hurry. The future is long, let's see who can play with whom.
"Young master." Barrett suddenly spoke, "Golden Eagle City is ahead, we will rest there for one night, and then continue on the road tomorrow." "
Golden Eagle City? Field's heart moved.
Isn't that just right? He originally wanted to go to Golden Eagle City to explore the secrets of those green light spots on the system map.
"Okay." Field nodded in agreement.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Golden Eagle City.
Golden Eagle City is the largest city in the region and an important commercial center. The city wall is tall and thick, and the city gate is full of people, a busy scene.
But Field quickly noticed the class differences here.
Ordinary civilians lined up in long queues to enter the city, and the guards at the gates were very rough with them, and they were often pushed or abused.
But when they saw Field's carriage, the guards' attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
"Who is this?" A man who looked like a guard captain asked respectfully.
"The young master of the Ezera family." Barrett said lightly.
"It turns out to be the nobleman!" The captain of the guard immediately smiled, "Is there anything you need help with?" "
"Enter the city." Barrett said succinctly.
"Of course, of course! Please go this way! The captain of the guard immediately got out of the way, "Noble passage, please!" "
The carriage entered the city unimpeded.
Field looked at the scene outside through the gap in the carriage and sighed in his heart.
The class solidification in this world is really serious.
But it's normal, after all, this is a different world with a medieval background, and the gap between commoners and nobles is like two species.
The carriage traveled through the city, and Field observed the structure of the Golden Eagle City through the system map.
Soon, he discovered an interesting phenomenon.
In the northeast corner of the Golden Eagle City, there is a green spot of light flashing.
Right near the hotel where they were staying.
