Led by Dawn, the three Brandos stepped into his manor house on damp pine needles, and Old Scott's mill was on the banks of the River Butch, shrouded in a lush pine forest, but by this time the pine needles had already been dyed a faint brownish-yellow. Through the woods, a wooden and stone waterwheel mill can be seen faintly from this direction, a third of the huge waterwheel is immersed in the water of the Buchi River, slowly turning, bringing white splashes, the Buchi River is fast-flowing, but crystal clear, and the bottom of the river is paved with fine pebbles at a glance.

In Brando's memory, this was only a corner of the manor, and there were actually some houses in the woods, behind which there was a warehouse, and behind it was a patch of farmland, and at the other end of the farmland, connected to the endless dense forest, was the Stag Forest south of Pragues; This is a land full of his childhood memories, and these images will automatically come to mind without even actively recalling them.

Dawn was nagging about what had happened in Pragues in the past two years all the way - he was an old servant in the manor, in fact, he could also be said to be a hired farmer, and in this kind of small manor, his identity was not so detailed after all; Brando only knew that before he was born, since his grandfather's time, this man had been working in the manor, and he also had a wife named Nosha, who also worked as a cook in the manor, and he had called each other Aunt Nosa since he was a child. In addition, there were several other families of servants in the manor, and the situation was similar.

Brando deliberately took a closer look at this uncle-level figure he had known for nearly twenty years, and the other party was still the same as in his memory, verbose like a woman, and admonished him bitterly, in short, it was to let him run out of nothing for so long without a message, but after all, it was to let him run out of the house for so long without a message, but after all. The other party's attitude towards him, the little master, was still very humble.

Brando only smiled at this, and only regarded some words as a breeze. However, he deliberately paid attention to the other party's palms, which were by no means a pair of hands holding farm tools, and the position of the dense dry calluses on them was only a long-term sword would leave such a mark, and it had to be a heavy sword. He knew that both the Eruin and the Cruz soldiers favored epee, which was good at grappling. This was especially true of the cavalry of the highlanders.

This so-called Uncle Dawn has at least the strength of the silver rank, and he is also a captain-level figure among the highland knights, these details Brando was at a loss in the past, he really didn't know what to say.

He didn't expose it, but silently followed behind, listening to the other party's nagging, he actually knew a lot of those things in Dawn's mouth, after all, he stayed in Prague for a long time after the War of the Black Roses, and it was also the most turbulent period in Pragues. After the retreat of the undead, the influx of refugees, and the loss of Buch, the southern Golan-Elson pattern has changed greatly, and the impact on this important border town is also very obvious. But when she heard that her mother was in tears almost every day after hearing that she was missing, Brando still felt a pang of guilt in her heart, and this guilt came purely from the heart. It's feelings that come from the depths of the blood.

He had a black face. Dawn noticed his little master's expression, and in turn reassured, "It's good to come back." Just come back. ”

The two girls followed closely behind, and they were also quietly listening, although they had known Brando for a long time, they were full of curiosity about Brando's mysterious origins. Right now, this nagging old servant, this little manor hidden in the woods, even the creaking waterwheel over there. All of them greatly satisfy their curiosity. Antitina didn't learn of her lord's background until after the Battle of Ampesel, but she never dreamed that the legendary sword saint Daurus would live in seclusion in such a place after his disappearance, and become a miller; And Freya guessed from the beginning that Brando might be a noble son, and in her eyes, there was no difference between a big nobleman and a small nobleman. The lord of the manor seemed to her to be a man with a head and a face, but she thought to herself that she had guessed correctly, not to mention that Brando was also the grandson of Lord Darus.

Of course, Dawn also noticed these two girls, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that his little master was really a capable character, although the noble daughter and the knight lady could not be said to be stunning, but they were also rare beauties on the Prague realm, especially Antitina was born in the nobility, and her every move showed an elegant and quiet demeanor, he was a person who had seen the world, and ordinary little nobles could not cultivate such excellent aristocratic etiquette. I inevitably muttered in my heart, my little master wouldn't have gone somewhere to kidnap an earl's daughter, right?

And the other one is even worse, Dawn only glanced at Freya's identity as a soldier, and also learned knightly etiquette, as if he was still a knight on duty, he accidentally glanced at Freya's epaulettes, and couldn't help but shout in his heart Martha, his little master deceived a female knight from there. He was born in the highland knight system, so he naturally understands the military system of Eruin, and a knight like this must at least be at the peak level of silver; Daun didn't see Brando's strength, after all, after reaching the elemental civilization, the strength of his body disappeared, and the current Brando looked like an ordinary person to outsiders, and no one would associate a young man under the age of twenty with a master of the elemental level.

To say that others don't know, he doesn't know what level his little master is, to say that Brando has been civilized in a year and a half, Dawn must think that this is a joke on him.

However, when he thought of the guests in the manor, he couldn't help but have a little headache, thinking that the two girls brought back by his little master were very good and very troublesome.

Of course, he didn't say these words, but Antitina and Freya still felt that Daun's gaze was a little abnormal when they looked at them with a kind of girlish keenness, and they both blushed at the same time, seeing this scene, Daun understood eight or nine points in his heart, thinking that his little master was really extraordinary.

The three of them turned into the manor, and as soon as they stepped into the manor, Brando's eyes were hot at first, because not far from him, he saw an incomparably familiar back. The figure stood in the stable beside the mill, forty or fifty years old, tall, with a pipe in his mouth, and a peasant's hat on his head, apparently unaware of the presence behind him, brushing his horsemane, but hearing a noise behind him. Only then did he turn his head in a slight startle, his eyes fell on Brando, and his eyebrows furrowed.

This is his father, Scott Sr.

Brando was still hesitant to say what to do when he first met these of his loved ones in the world, as if it were a natural reaction, when he saw the face. has already subconsciously blurted out: "I'm back, old man......"

His voice was almost a little trembling, and there was a strong emotion in his chest, which told him that this was his home, his father, his dearest relatives, but he had the heart to say something else, but when he spoke, he only felt that his mouth was dry. Not a word can be uttered.

Old Scott didn't speak, but looked at him silently, and then dropped a cold snort, he dropped the brush, turned around and went into the room, leaving Brando standing there awkwardly.

"Hey," Dawn couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, "Brando." Mr. Scott, he ......"

"You don't have to say it, Uncle Daun. I understand. Brando also smiled wryly, of course he knew that it was his own fault, and he knew very well the old man's personality, which used to be called stubbornness in his opinion, but now it is better to say that it is the principle of a soldier. At such a shocking glance just now, he already understood. I'm afraid that the secret of this family is just hidden from Brando, what kind of miller is his father, his strength is even higher than that of Daun, and the aura on his body is typical of a soldier's style, and now Eruin. Such professional servicemen can only be found among the Highland Knights.

He now understood that his father had probably fought in the November War, and most likely his grandfather's men.

He looked back and saw that Freya was a little nervous, and the noble lady was looking at him a little impatiently. He also sighed: "Uncle Dawn, you go and do your own first." ”

"Okay." Dawn obviously understood his master's temper, and agreed again and again, and he took one last look at the three of Brando, and led the donkey around to the back of the farm, for he had something to go out, but since the little master had returned, these trivialities were trivial.

"Brando, are you alright?" Freya asked a little uncomfortably when she saw Dawn leave.

Brando gave her a reassuring look, saying that it was nothing, but everyone could see that the Count, who was calm and calm in the face of the army of Mardara, the demons, and the army of the Cruz, was actually nervous to death at this moment. Antitina looked at her lord's appearance and said a few words of comfort, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak.

After all, it's the lord's family affair......

It was a long time before a woman hurried out of the house, and when she reached the door, she saw Brando, standing in the open space outside, frozen there as if she were enchanted. At that moment, Brando was also a wall in his chest, some feelings did not need words to describe, he didn't expect that he had only been away for half a year, and the face in his memory actually looked a little old, his mother was called Windsor, who was a famous beauty in the area, but now she also has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her temples also have silver threads, as if she hadn't seen it for a moment, but time has passed.

At that moment, only one sentence came to his mind: the son wants to raise but does not wait.

Windsor was already in tears, and asked cautiously, "Brando, is it really you, are you back?" ”

Just this sentence completely broke Brando's psychological defense, he pursed his lips, wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, his vision was blurry, and he could only nod vigorously: "I'm sorry, mother." ”

"Silly boy, silly boy," Windsor hurried to Brando's side, touching his son's face affectionately: "It's good to come back, say sorry." ”

"Mother's ......"

Even though Brando has a thousand words in his heart at this moment, and no matter how many bold words he has, he can only turn into these two words. In his heart, all the memories, time, the past qiē, his father, mother, grandfather, every bit of family affection, seemed to converge into a torrent, erupting from his chest. He is Sophie, but also Brando, from the year of flowers and summer leaves to the year of the turbulent sword, he has done a lot of things, he even changed the country with his own hands, changed the fate of countless people, but only for this moment, he understands that he is not adrift in this world, not a bystander with nothing.

He has a qiē-

Family. This harbor represents all those who await him in the harbor; He once thought that the world was separated from him, but only today does he realize that it was just a barrier built by himself out of fear.

And the power of warmth is enough to dismantle the strongest fortress in the world.

And at this moment, Brando finally woke up. Some things are hidden in the bones and blood, and they do not need to be described and described in words, but only need to wait for a certain moment, and it will naturally burst out from the human heart; It was as if it was a cry from the depths of the soul, only associated with the emotions of nature, and once it erupted, it would drown out a qiē reason, and all the feelings of the previous life and this life would finally converge at this moment. And in Brando's trance-like vision, let the world show another meaning in his eyes.

It is stored zài.

And not unreal.

It is Vaynd that belongs to everyone in this world.

It also belongs to his Vainde.

Brando bent down silently, still hugged by his mother like a child, still by his mother's tears falling on his shoulders, his heart was at peace, all the tiredness was completely let go at this moment, as if returning to the harbor. It's back to that carefree time. Antitina watched this scene with some envy, she used to have such a happy qiē. But in the end, the memories of her father and mother are still vivid, and she still remembers the last time her mother put her hand in the palm of her hand on the sickbed and called her nickname. "Anna, Anna." The voice was so weak, but so gentle, that her mother's palms were so cold that her heart was also cold, but she didn't know when. The aristocratic daughter was already biting her lower lip and crying in a daze.

But she suddenly felt a soft and weak hand holding her hand from behind, Antitina looked at Freya in surprise, and saw that Miss Knight's eyes were also a little red, Freya was raised by Aunt Sil and her uncle, as if she had never seen her parents since the day she became sensible, she may not have cared once, but the scene she saw today still touched the most fragile string in her heart.

Brando managed to soothe his mother, but unexpectedly, the two ladies who came with him had already cried, and he looked at them a little inexplicably, but soon thought of something, his heart softened, and he quickly whispered to his mother about Antitina and Freya.

Windsor had actually noticed Antitina and Freya with her son for a long time, her gaze was no worse than that of Dawn, and she could see at a glance that these two girls were good girls, and she couldn't help but glance at Brando, as if to reproach him for not taking good care of the girls. She only learned about the life stories of the two from Brando, and she felt infinite sympathy in her heart, so she hurriedly walked over and grabbed the hands of the two of them, and comforted each other in a low voice.

Antitina was fine, and quickly calmed down, wiped away her tears, and reintroduced herself to Brando's mother, a little embarrassed. However, she kept claiming that she was Brando's staff, which made Windsor glared at Brando several times angrily, which meant that there would be you looking good later, which was really a disaster, Brando couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, he hurriedly glanced at Antitina on the side, but he didn't expect that the usually gentle and quiet staff lady didn't seem to see it at this time, and after a while, he secretly smiled at him.

"Holy." Brando realized now that Antitina was actually playing petty, he had never seen a noble lady like this, but it seemed that women were all in common.

Fortunately, Freya is still the country girl of Buchi in the past, maintaining a simple and simple heart, she was still a little sad, but now she was grabbed by Windsor's hand and asked long and short questions, and she was very embarrassed, so she had to blush, unable to say a word. Brando was watching his mother's situation from the sidelines, no matter how he looked at it, he finally seized the opportunity to interject, and was about to speak, but he didn't want Windsor to turn around at this time, and said to him a little sternly: "Brando, Freya and Antitina are good girls, you can't be sorry for them." ”

As soon as she said this, Antitina and Freya's faces turned red, and the staff lady gave Brando a little embarrassed, and Freya almost buried her head in her chest.

"Damn, what is this?" Brando was stupid for a moment, and was about to explain, but was glared at fiercely by his mother: "Anyway, how are you going to explain it to Uncle Bunid." ”

"Uncle Bunid? Interpretation? What to explain? Brando was slightly stunned, he was a little confused, how could he not have found out that his mother's thinking was so out-of-the-box before. He thought about it for a while, and then finally realized whose name it was—Grand Master Bunid, Grand Master of the Highland Knights. "The Highland Knight is indeed in the manor, and it is very likely that Bunid himself came!" The information flashed through his mind, but he couldn't help but scratch his hair - the question was, what did he seem to the Highland Knight to explain? Doesn't seem to have offended them? He stared at his mother suspiciously, and asked, "Mother, what is going on?" ”
