Chapter 374: Return to Home
It stands to reason that he should not return to Syrt's territory since he left the family, but Filin is not here to answer his doubts...... It's for the father. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the feast, Sir Silt not only spoke of the man in the painting, but also seemed very emotional, saying that the family existed because of her kindness, but that his grandfather had failed her kindness. Filming couldn't understand the words at the time, but his father's demeanor was fresh in his memoryβa kind of regret for what his grandfather had done.
If it is a pity, will there be a chance to make amends? Perhaps the woman I saw was a descendant of the founder of the family.
After all, he left the family because he didn't want to be separated from Erin, and as the eldest son, the family couldn't accept him officially marrying a commoner. It's just that the two sides have different choices, and it's not that the Silt family is sorry for themselves.
After marrying Irene, Sir Silt did not visit him once, but his mother sent him some household items and a letter telling him that he had forgiven him.
It was for these reasons that Filin made the decision to bring news to his family.
Due to the influence of the Demon Moon, the number of ships traveling between the two places had been greatly reduced, and it was only three days before he waited for the merchant ships from the fortress, and with the time for unloading and counting, it was already a week after arriving at the fortress.
Walking down the dock, Fei Lin immediately felt the desertion of the city, the snow on the ground was ankle-high, except for a few alleys with a few footprints of different shades, and the snow on the streets was smooth, indicating that no one had passed for a long time. Compared to the bustling frontier towns, it's hard to believe that this is the largest city in the West.
The territory of the Silt family is next to the north of the fortress, and it is a village of nearly 2,000 acres. Even the fortress was like this, and the village was even more unbearable. Walking along the ruts of the carriage to the mansion, you can see some dead starvation along the way - the heavy snow that begins early in autumn will catch most of the poor people off guard, and there is not enough food or firewood to store, and probably half of them will not survive until next spring. Originally, this was a normal phenomenon in the evil moon, but Fei Lin couldn't get used to it.
After a few sparse wooden houses, Filin returned to his home after many years.
The iron gates of the courtyard were closed, and the vestibule was covered with snow, but a few stone paths had been cleared, and it was clear that someone in the family was still tending to the manor.
He tapped the iron door hard, and after a while, two guards walked out of the mansion, and one of them quickly recognized Fei Lin's identity, and said with a surprised face, "You, who are you...... Gentleman. β
"I would like to see Sir Silt," said Film, calmly.
Although everyone in the mansion knew that Dawn Dawn had severed ties with the family, this was a matter between nobles after all, and the guards did not dare to make their own decisions, so the two quickly opened the iron door, and one led him to the foyer to wait, while the other informed the butler.
Unexpectedly, the first person to arrive was his younger brother, Miso Silter.
"You don't belong here anymore, why do you want to come back?" he frowned and looked at his brother, "You came here?"
"I'm not a knight anymore," Filin smiled, "and naturally there won't be any followers." β
"Ah, I almost forgot, you were beaten to pieces by the prince of the border town, and became his captive, and he let you back?" Miso snorted, "Do you have no money to survive the winter?" I can give you some, and then you can leave consciously." β
The other party's attitude made Filin sigh, and it was not difficult to understand his reaction - Miso Silt was now the first heir to the family, and naturally did not want to come back, lest he have any trouble.
"I'm not here to get the money, and I have no intention of competing with you for the position of successor," Dawn Dawn said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince has hired me as a mentor, and I am very satisfied with my current life. β
"Mentor?" Miso was stunned, "Why don't I remember that you still have such a high level of knowledge that you can teach other nobles?"
"Not to teach the aristocracy, but to teach the commoners to read and write. β
"Teach civilians ......," he sneered, "the lies you made up are getting more and more interesting, it can't be that commoner's wife who is delirious about you, right?"
"That's enough!" a low shout came from behind, and Miso shuddered, and Filin followed the sound to find that it was his father, Sir Syrt. "Lady Irene is not inferior to the nobles, all she lacks is an identity, and it would be rude for you to continue. β
"Father!" Miso said in a hyperurial voice.
Sir ignored the second son, "Listen to the guard, do you have news for me?"
"Yes. Fei Lin saluted.
"Come to my study, then. β
......
Filin followed his father to the study on the second floor of the mansion, and as he passed the hall, he took the opportunity to glance at the wall of the hall where portraits were hung, and the blue-haired woman's face appeared before him againβalmost exactly the same as the person he had seen in the convenience market. And unlike other portraits, the colors are particularly vivid and the details are much more delicate, even the tear moles at the corners of the eyes are clearly recognizable.
Entering the study, Sir was the first to speak, "I saw your wife at the autumn theatre performance, she has a good complexion, and her acting skills are not dull in front of Miss May, and it seems that you are doing well. β
Fei Lin suddenly felt his eyes heat up, he didn't expect his father to mention this first, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Yes, we have our own residence in the border town, and we plan to have a child after the end of the evil moon this year. β
"That's good," Silt took a slow sip of tea, "It shouldn't be easy to get here from the border town now, what news do you want to say?"
"I met a woman in the town who looked exactly like the person in the portrait in the hall. β
Jazz's hand shook and he almost knocked over the teacup, and he raised his head and his eyes widened, "What did you say?"
"A rare blue-haired and good-looking, I'm sure I'm right," said Film, "could she be the offspring of the man in the painting?"
"That person isβ" he paused, then shook his head, "she can't have offspring." β
"Yes...... Is that so?" Filmin bowed his head, "Then maybe I'm mistaken." β
"You rushed all the way to the Changge Fortress for this matter?"
"Yes, because I remember you used to ...... I have expressed regret. β
Sir Silt looked down and thought for a moment, "Really?"
"Except for the slight difference in the length of the hair......," Filmin recalled, "the rest of the place is exactly the same." You know, I've only seen this kind of hair color in portraits since I was born, so I'll pay extra attention to it. β
"She can't be the descendant of that man," Sir hesitated, "but she could be the man himself." β
His father's statement made Filin almost unable to believe his ears, the thought was even more incredible than he had imagined, "Yourself? What do you mean...... She lived for more than 400 years?"
"I didn't want to tell you this," he said, getting up, "she's a witch. Since it's a witch, anything can happen. Follow me. β
"Where are you going?"
"Basement, I have something I want to show you," the Duke said word for word, "from the inheritance of the ancestors, and from the relics she left behind. β
