With the tavernkeeper's frothing narration, Jenn finally understood the current situation of the Black family.

Although Cotton's bastard looks like he has a drag of twenty-fifty-eighty-thousand, old Blake is still quite respectable as a gentry in Passus. In this era, the aristocracy itself is a supreme status for the commoners, even if it is a down-and-out nobleman, in the aristocratic circle, it is a plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but in the eyes of the commoners, the nobility is the nobility, and it is still the one who must respectfully bow his head and stand at the corner of the street to greet him as long as he goes out.

It's like a movie star, familiar people may be able to distinguish the difference between a third-tier movie star and an emperor superstar, but for those who don't know it, as long as they have been on TV and acted in a movie, they are all stars.........

Well, gossip Hugh.

For Cotton's son, old Black still loves him a lot, and he also has a family affair for Cotton, the other party is the daughter of a businessman, and Cotton has an old acquaintance, and this family affair is also a good match. But unfortunately, Old Blake's life was not too good, and he died of a serious illness not long after the marriage. After that, Cotton married a young girl named Lygia. Originally, logically speaking, they should just continue to live their quiet lives.

However, when the news of the temple's recruitment of the brave arrived, Cotton decided to answer the temple's call to fight the evil creatures in the dark realms. Not only did he take the last remaining guards of the Black family, but he even spent a fortune on the adventure -- and that's the point.

Although the Black family has a little wealth, they can't afford to support such consumption. Eventually, Cotton gritted his teeth and pledged the Black family's mansion. Borrowed a sum of money. According to the agreement, it was supposed to be for half a year. But I didn't expect that it had only been four months, and the other party couldn't wait to come to the door to collect the debt. And the current Black family naturally can't come up with this money. So there is no way to deal with those who collect debts. And the other party has become more and more arrogant after coming a few times, claiming that if he can't come up with the money before the end of the month, he will forcibly expropriate the Black family's mansion.

Hearing this, Jenn groaned for a moment. The fact that Cotton borrowed money had already been dug out of his brain, and he also knew that it was a powerful nobleman in the area who borrowed money from Cotton, and he was still an old friend of Cotton's father. It's just that Cotton didn't know that his father's old friend would choose to take advantage of the fire to rob when he was dying, so Jenn didn't know anything about it.

But......... Knowing people and knowing faces.........

Jenn sneered and didn't say anything more, since he had already arrived. Then the prey you fancy will naturally not be able to escape.

The night passed.

The next morning, the downpour had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly on the town. Under the sun, you can see the green grass dancing in the wind, the fresh leaves swaying with the breeze, and the whole air is filled with the fragrance of grass, which is invigorating.

Unfortunately, not everyone likes this kind of good weather, and Bix is so resentful of the disappearance of the dark clouds that cover the sky that she hides in her room and does not dare to go out again. So Jenn didn't bother to pay attention to her. As for Elise, she had other work to do, so Jenn threw the two men in the inn and took Patilina in a carriage to the Black Mansion on the heights of the small town of Passus.

As a down-and-out aristocrat, the Black family's mansion has become a bit dilapidated. Maybe it's because of the lack of care. It's overgrown with weeds and the walls are covered with vines, making it look like it's in a state of despair. It is more than enough to be used as a filming venue for the ghost of the haunted house.

"It's so dilapidated, is there anyone living in it?"

Patilina followed behind Jenn. He looked at the house in front of him curiously, and wrinkled his nose with some dissatisfaction. And in the face of Patilina's words. Jenn didn't say anything, but raised his head, looked at the already somewhat decayed iron flower gate in front of him, and frowned. Then he reached out and pulled the bell next to the iron door.

"Jingle Bell ..............."

A series of crisp bells rang, wafting through the dilapidated and dreary manor. It wasn't long before Jenn saw a young girl come out of the house, dressed in a somewhat shabby maid's suit, and her face was a little uneasy. The girl came to the iron gate tremblingly, and couldn't help but show a little curiosity on her delicate face after discovering Jenn. Originally, she thought that it was those wicked people who came to collect debts, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Excuse me, are you ............?"

"My name is Jenn. Pachanons. ”

In the face of the maid's inquiry, Jenn showed an elegant smile, and he nodded to the maid before speaking.

"I'm from Cardiff City and have a little bit about Cotton. Mr. Black's message needs to be conveyed to Mrs. Black........."

"Ah, please come in, please come in!"

Hearing this, the maid's face immediately shone brightly, and she hurriedly opened the iron door and invited Jenn in. At the same time, he turned his head and called out to the rear.

"Jasmine! Jasmine? ”

"What's the matter? Sister? ”

At the maid's call, a maid who looked quite similar to her came out of the house, and when she saw Jenn, the maid was visibly flustered.

"This is ..............."

"This lord is from Cardiff City, and he said that he has news about the lord to tell Mrs. Sù, and he should go and inform Mrs. Sù."

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing the rumors of the maid, the girl named Jasmine also nodded hurriedly, and then turned around and rushed into the house. Jenn and Patilina, guided by another maid, walked towards the ruined mansion in front of them.

During this not long journey, Jenn also used his words to skillfully obtain the information of the little maid in front of him. Her name is Lily of the Valley, and she and Jasmine are twin sisters. They have been Ligia's playmates since childhood, and when they grow up, they naturally become her maids, and after Lygia marries Cotton, these two personal maids naturally follow. And after Cotton and his attendants went to answer the temple's call. There are only three of them left in the already down-and-out Black family.

Luckily, Passus is a remote place and its people are simple. It is also considered to be on the road, not to pick up, not to close the house at night. In addition, Cotton asked the militia to help take care of the three women and children before leaving, so they did not encounter any trouble.

It's just that the militia can't confront the nobility.

Fortunately, the other party did not dare to go too far. These days, they just sent a few private soldiers to threaten them viciously. But that was enough to make Lycia and her two maids sleep unsoundly. They are just ordinary people who do their duty, when have they ever seen such a thing? Because of this, they have always hoped that Cotton can return as soon as possible, and now, when they hear the news of him, they are naturally very anxious.

Led by Lily of the Valley, Jenn and Pattilina arrived in the reception room, and soon they met the Lady Black.

She looked to be about twenty years old. It's slightly larger than Jenn. However, it is not surprising that people on the Klein Continent generally get married earlier, and generally speaking, they can enter into a marriage contract and prepare for marriage at the age of sixteen.

Although he had already seen the portrait of Lygia, Jenn's eyes lit up when he saw the real person. The woman in front of her is much more beautiful than in the portrait, she has a melon seed face that looks pitiful, slender eyebrows like two crescents, like a clear spring in the eyes flashing with the brilliance of life, and the high nose bridge brings a bit of exotic flavor. But it has a special charm. Not to mention the plump cherry lips, which are as delicate as a peach, and people can't help but want to go up and take a bite.

Lygia did not wear a luxurious skirt like an ordinary noblewoman, but only a simple homestay robe. Wrapping her plump and seductive body, it is even more fascinating. This made Jenn secretly slander Cotton for being an idiot, and that there was such a beautiful woman who couldn't enjoy it but wanted to run to the dark area to kill herself. He deserves to be unlucky.

However, unlike the two maids, Ligia at this moment has a little uneasiness and gloom on her face. It seems that she is not stupid either, and Cotton did not come back on his own. Rather, it is to let people pass on the information on their behalf, which in itself is enough to illustrate a very disturbing fact.

But even so, after all, Lygia was still a noble lady who had undergone rigorous etiquette training, and she first respectfully lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Jenn before speaking.

"Welcome to the house, distinguished guest. I'm Lygia. Black......... I heard you have some news about my husband? ”

"That's right, Mrs. Black."

Hearing what the other man said, Jenn nodded, and then he took a deep breath and spoke like a true nobleman.

"I'm sorry, but that's not good news......... In fact, your husband, Cotton. Blake has been killed in battle against the wicked people in the Dark Realms. “

"Ahh

Hearing this, the two maids suddenly screamed in shock, they obviously didn't expect that they would actually hear such bad news. On the contrary, Liguia seemed very calm, and it could be seen that she was obviously mentally prepared for this news. It's just that after hearing Jenn's words, she still drooped her thick eyelashes and let out a long sigh. Seeing her movements, Jenn reached into his arms, took out the silver pendant from it and handed it over.

"Before Mr. Cotton died, he entrusted me with giving you this pendant."

Seeing the pendant in Jenn's hand, Lygia's eyes suddenly turned red, she took the pendant with trembling hands, and then slowly opened it, after seeing the portrait inside, she closed her eyes, and then a series of crystal clear tears dripped down her white and delicate cheeks and fell to the ground. The two maids hurried to her side and comforted her softly. It wasn't until a moment later that the lady opened her eyes and looked at Jenn again.

"Please forgive me for being so rude, honored guest."

She whispered, her tone revealing desperation that was about to end the world.

"Thank you for this news, so we can finally make up our minds."

"Please be careful, Mrs. Black."

Hearing this, Jenn reached out and pushed down his glasses, and then spoke.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Cotton and I used to fight side by side in the dark regions, and we can be considered comrades-in-arms. Before he died, he asked me to take care of his family, which is why I came here. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, as long as it is within the scope of your ability, then I will never refuse. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Ligia's face showed a look of embarrassment, but before she could say anything more, suddenly, the bell outside rang again. However, unlike before, this time the sound of the bell is chaotic. Hearing this, the faces of the two maids changed slightly, but before they could do anything more, a violent roar suddenly came from outside the door.

"Get out of here, you debtors! Not ready yet? (To be continued......)
