The process of the Hibiscus family gaining a foothold in Pine Forest City is a very peculiar legend. Auguste Gulf and his sister were only modest professionals at first, but they always had a great deal to deal with, and even knew what others were going to do in advance, as if there was a prophet or prophet behind them. In just over three years, they have transformed themselves from a low-class nobleman to a wealthy family in Pine Forest City, and even a famous inspirational legend in the country of Holaiven.

The middle-aged fat man stared at Liang Lidong with scrutinizing eyes, and he said, "I'm Gavin, a member of the Hibiscus family. I just tried it, but I didn't expect you to really understand our gestures. Who the hell are you, I've never heard of your name, and even in the family chronicles, there is no such person as Beta. ”

Liang Lidong didn't answer the middle-aged fat man's question directly, he was just silent for a while, and then asked, "When did you enable this set of gesture codewords?" ”

"I don't know, maybe two or three hundred years." The middle-aged fat man's face was very round, but he could read a hint of fortitude from his expression: "This set of gestures has always been used only by the people of our Althea family, as long as it is not a person surnamed Gulf, even if it is an old butler who has served in our family for decades, he is not qualified to learn it." So I wonder who your Excellency is, who not only knows our family's gestures, but also knows the name of Dinah's ancestor. ”

"Is it strange to know her name?" Liang Lidong asked.

The middle-aged fat man snorted, with a bit of noncommittality in his tone: "Many people know that our ancestor Auguste had a younger sister, and many people know her nickname, but few people know her real name. And as soon as Your Excellency opened your mouth, you called out the name of your ancestors, and you also knew how to gesture and code, which had to make me have some bad associations. ”

Liang Lidong also smiled, although the other party's tone was not too friendly, but there was not much malice involved: "Bad association, what, I suspect that I am a spy or something." ”

"Nope! The color of your hair, as well as your eyes, and your temperament, all indicate that you are from a very noble background. It's impossible for someone like you to be a spy because you're not ordinary enough to be ostentatious. Gavin, the middle-aged fat man, shook his head, and then said in an even more strange way, as if he was holding back his throat, "Although my association is blasphemous to Dinah's ancestors, I have to think so, I wonder if you are hers...... Descendants of illegitimate children. ”

Liang Lidong choked in his throat and almost couldn't spit it out, he patted his chest and asked angrily, "Why do you think so." ”

"I have to think so." Gavin said as a matter of course: "You are very interested in my family crest, and you are asking about Dinah's ancestors, not August's ancestors." The only people who can know about Dinah's ancestors are those of us who are orthodox descendants...... Well, although I am a collateral line, I am also in the blood of Gulf. Do you still know the gesture codeword, can there be anything else besides this possibility? ”

"All I can tell you is that I'm not a descendant of Dinah." Liang Lidong smiled bitterly: "I'm even more curious now, why do you have this kind of gesture code language, it's unreasonable." ”

The fat on Gavin's face trembled slightly, and he said a little angrily: "You mean, we steal your gesture code language?" No kidding, we've used this set of gestures for two or three hundred years, and no one has ever cracked it. But now in your hands, if you are not a spy, then you can only be the descendant of the illegitimate son of Dinah's ancestors. ”

"Not long ago, you said that she never married, and that she was nicknamed the Iron Virgin!"

Gavin sighed: "The Holy Mother of the God of Light is not the same as a virgin pregnancy, giving birth to the Holy Son Crondo, hehe, this is not an unusual thing." ”

Liang Lidong felt that there was no way to communicate with this guy, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter for the time being, don't worry about the matter of gestures and secret words, I won't spread it." What I'm curious about now is that although you say that you are a side of the hibiscus, as far as I know, you should be a pioneering member of the family's outward arrangement, and if the practice of the Hibiscus family has not changed, it should be so. ”

Gavin looked at Liang Lidong's eyes and became more and more strange: "You even know this, so you still say that you have nothing to do with our Hibiscus family?" ”

"Whatever you want." Liang Lidong was a little annoyed: "Since you are a core member of the family, do you know if Dina has left anything behind, such as diaries and the like." ”

Liang Lidong has a good relationship with the Gulf brothers and sisters in the game, and he knows very well that Dinah has the habit of writing a diary, if Dinah in reality has the same personality and hobbies as in the game, as long as she leaves a diary, she may be able to find out why the Althea family understands this set of gestures.

Gavin's expression became even more eccentric: "You even know this? I no longer doubt now that you are the bastard descendant of Dinah's ancestors, whether you will be her lover, concubine or something. ”

Liang Lidong pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, in a sense, this dead fat man guessed halfway. He said happily: "So she did leave a diary?" ”

"Not only do I have it, but I have a lot of copies." A gleam flashed in Gavin's eyes: "It's all written in a strange symbol, and we've tried to crack it, but it's been unsuccessful." It's much more complex than gesture codes. ”

Liang Lidong thought for a while, and mobilized the fire elements to condense into a few symbols around him: "Like this? ”

Gavin took a deep breath: "It seems that you and Dinah Ancestor are indeed inextricably linked. Since it involves the private affairs of the ancestors, then I will not ask, but I hope that you will abide by what you just said, and do not pass on the gesture in code. Personally, I don't have any ill feelings towards you, but after all, this involves the security of the family, and gestures and code words are too important, so I will write a letter to report your matter to the master's side, and the specific disposition will be decided by them. ”

"What if they're going to kill me so that they can keep the secret of the Gesture Whisper?" Liang Lidong asked.

Gavin sneered, and a chill burst out from his eyes, which were squeezed by the fat on his face: "Then I can only be your enemy." ”

For people in this world, family interests are indeed quite important. Liang Lidong smiled: "You are forcing me to kill you in order to keep the secret that I will gesture and whisper." ”

Gavin took two steps back, but there was not much fear on his face, and he said, "Since you said it, you shouldn't have any intention of killing me." Although my strength is not very strong, I have always been very accurate in looking at people. ”

"Then why are you going backwards?" Liang Lidong's tone was slightly sarcastic.

Gavin said seriously: "It's just a habit, if you are threatened by someone much stronger than yourself, you will probably behave the same as me." ”

I have to say that the dead fat man is very reasonable, Liang Lidong looked out the window and said, "You can report my affairs to the master's family, and tell them that I want the diary left by Dinah." If they are willing to give it to me, I will tell them a big secret that may make your power even further. ”

Gavin looked at Liang Lidong for a while and said, "Okay." ”

…………

After saying goodbye to Gavin, Liang Lidong went up to the seventh floor. The seventh floor is the top floor, with three rooms and a large magic laboratory. At this time, the laboratory had been vacant for a long time, and there was nothing but a few tables and chairs, and a large alchemy table. These pieces of furniture were covered with a shallow layer of dust, and Liang Lidong opened a few windows, using his spiritual power to condense the wind element, turning it into a few light winds, and blowing all the dust in the room out of the window.

Joan of Arc then flew down from the sky, clutching a scroll in its claws. Liang Lidong put the scroll into his space backpack.

Joan of Arc had been hovering in the air above the castle before. Liang Lidong didn't fully trust Uther, and if he did something wrong, Joan of Arc would make peace with the two scrolls in the air. One is the Fireball Technique, and the other is the Phase Displacement. The Fireball Technique can create great chaos for a moment, and the latter can forcibly move Liang Lidong from indoors to outdoors.

The heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, especially when Uther was placed by Liang Lidong, even if he is more cautious, it is reasonable.

Joan of Arc stood on the windowsill and moved her paws, which had stiffened a little as she had been clutching the two scrolls for so long.

Liang Lidong looked around the room, inspecting every corner that was difficult to see as far as his eyes could see...... He knew that there were many small magic arrays, which operated with minimal fluctuations in magical power, but had various functions, such as voyeurism, listening, and even slowly affecting the victim's spirit and personality without the victim's knowledge.

At this time, a gentle wave of magic power suddenly erupted from the depths of the castle, and in Liang Lidong's perception, it was like a circle of ripples on the surface of the lake, although it was obvious, it was not intense, and there were two spiritual forces mixed with one strong and one weak. The stronger spiritual power Liang Lidong is quite familiar with, it is the fence pull, and the other spiritual power is a little wild.

Liang Lidong yawned: "Fence Pull is a contract pet, if it's really a feline...... Joan of Arc, then you've got an opponent. ”
