George was suddenly stunned. If he was right, the man was at least about his age, and perhaps older than him from the look of his beard.
And call him uncle?!
Don't mention that George was stunned. Jordan and DURU looked at it in surprise.
"Who are you? I'm not as old as you." George's sword still hasn't been put down, and the tip of the sword is even further.
"Uncle George, you are still as lively as before." Angel continued.
But this time, George's expression suddenly changed. Because he heard a voice quite different from that before, clear and pleasant, like a gurgling stream and gentle mountain haze; It took him back to a few years ago. It seemed that someone called him with this accent.
However, in his memory, the man was a short man who liked to drink milk.
But the person in front of him was scruffy, wrinkled clothes and waxy yellow skin. He was completely different from the person in his memory.
"Who the hell are you?" George frowned and looked at Angel suspiciously.
Angel smiled, and suddenly the streamer disappeared around him. It was like a mirror being broken, with countless broken marks. Between light and shadow, dreams are ethereal.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the mirror was completely broken.
A handsome man in an elegant black dress, a short cap and a dark cloak with a blood red inner bladder appeared in front of the crowd.
The exquisite black is in sharp contrast to the white skin.
Angel took off his hat, showed his golden soft short hair, smiled and said, "Uncle George, you're all right."
George took a breath and looked at his blue eyes as clear as the sky. His cheeks trembled with excitement. His sword crashed and fell to the ground.
"Ann... Angel? You're angel!"
George wanted to rush over and hold Angel excitedly, but looking at his elegant dress, he seemed to have a wrong style of painting. Can only excitedly hold angel's hand to express his excitement.
"Uncle George, it's me."
"You grow up, good!" George looked at angel up and down: "didn't you say you went to the capital to study? Why haven't you come back all these years... And why did you suddenly change just now?"
Angel: "Oh? Did my brother say I went to school?"
"Didn't you go to school? Didn't you say you went to the Royal College of Canary?"
Angel put on his hat. "I went to school, but not in the old land. I went to school in other continents. As for what I learned, it's these tricks."
The image of a lazy uncle came back.
"This is..."
"This is magic, a kind of blindfold that deceives your eyes." Angel's simple explanation.
"Oh, oh." George didn't understand. He just nodded subconsciously, and then took angel into the living room: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I've smoked one, but it's not as mellow as before. When I come back, I'll take good care of it. I happened to hunt a wild boar yesterday. Come in quickly and I'll make it up for you."
"I really haven't tasted Uncle George's craft for a long time. But I'm not busy. I always have to go home first when I come back." Angel: "just now, I saw that the Jordanian guards seem to have something to hide from Pat manor. I don't know what happened?"
George's expression changed when he mentioned pat manor.
Seeing this, angel was even more worried. He hurriedly said, "what happened? Did something happen to his brother?"
George shook his head. "Don't worry, your brother should be fine."
"Should? Why use uncertain words."
"Come in and have a drink. I'll explain to you." As George spoke, he took angel into the inner hall.
"Dad... Uh, Sheriff! Is he the young master of Pat manor?" Jordan took advantage of the gap and asked secretly.
When George saw Jordan coming with him, he roared, "what's your business! Why are you still here, you smelly boy? Hurry back and watch!"
Jordan responded with a limp, "I know."
After Jordan left, George went to fetch water. Angel and trupan sat by the stove in the middle of the room. Angel was silent and looked at the south from time to time, which was the location of Pat manor.
DURU kept his "shocked" expression and looked suddenly. After a while, he thought back: "Lord pat, was that your real face just now?"
Angel just glanced at him coldly without answering. DURU in this eye deterrence, scared to explain: "I just think, I didn't expect adults to look so good."
"Angel looked better when he was a child. She was round and jade." George smiled and served two cups of milk tea. He knew that angel didn't like to mention that he liked drinking milk in front of outsiders, so he just served tea without saying anything.
DURU did not dare to answer at this time. He glanced at angel in fear, bowed his head and drank tea consciously, pretending to be a transparent man.
"Uncle George, what happened at pat estate?" Angel's expression was very serious. When DURU asked him earlier, he looked at pat manor. I felt an obvious strange smell, and the smell seemed to find his gaze. A powerful energy suddenly penetrated the clouds and fog and glanced at him gently.
Although soon, the other party retreated. But that kind of gaze made Angel feel a little tricky.
Most importantly, this feeling of being stared at clearly comes from Pat manor.
His hunch was right. Something really happened at pat manor.
George sighed, "Alas, I don't know where to start. In fact, we don't know what happened to pat manor, because pat manor was closed since the month of recovery three years ago."
"Close the garden? Has no one come out since then?"
"Of course someone came out, otherwise we would have reported to Watford." George paused: "the so-called closed garden means that no one except the people of Pat manor can break in. By the way, do you remember Edgar?"
"Yes, Edgar seems to be an old hunter in the south of town."
"Yes, a few years ago, Edgar's bastard son, little sam, came back. He turned his back on his bones. When he heard that no outsiders were allowed to enter Pat's manor, he had to go, and no one stopped dissuading him. He sneaked into Pat's manor that night." Speaking of this, George's expression suddenly became heavy: "the next morning, we found Sam's body near the manor."
"When he saw Sam's body, Edgar, the old hunter, was ten years old in an instant. Later, he left Gru town and heard that he had gone to other provinces... I don't know what's going on now. However, from that day on, everyone dared not break the ban again."
"It's not my brother's character to kill so rashly." Angel frowned and wondered if it had anything to do with the strange smell he had noticed before?
"We are also strange, but the fact has happened."
"What you said is that outsiders can't go in. Didn't you ask when the people at pat manor came out?" Asked angel.
"Of course I asked, but no one said."
Angel recalled the servants in the family. In angel's impression, they were all kind and kind people. Especially the maids such as Ollie, who love gossip, are by no means indifferent.
"Are you sure they are still the people before, and have their personality, conversation and habits changed?"
"I don't know what you suspect, angel, but they must be the people before. Although they come out much less frequently than before, their behavior hasn't changed." George paused: "only when we asked about the manor, they all shut up. But then everyone saw that their life was as usual, so they didn't care."
"Nothing has changed?"
"Not really."
"Has my brother ever appeared?" Angel asked again.
"Of course there are. However, the frequency of coming out is not high. Sometimes they come out only once every six months. They basically patrol their owners and comfort some people in the town. It is precisely because the Viscount will appear that Gelu town can maintain its current stability."
"My brother hasn't changed much?"
George thought for a moment: "it seems that there is no, and it has become more dignified than before. But it is also normal. After all, when he takes over the title, he really needs to put away his jumping character."
Angel: "well, it's impossible that no one has gone to my brother these years?"
George shrugged: "it's useless for someone to look for it. Even if the servant comes out to tell the news, the Viscount may not come out. Because the time when the Viscount comes out is uncertain, we can't enter the manor. That's why Jordan dissuades you."
The news from George made Angel feel a little relieved. For now, at least the family is fine. But his doubts were not explained.
Why is the garden closed? Why did the servant keep a secret about everything in the manor? Also, what is the strange smell entrenched in the manor?
The manor began to change in the month of recovery three years ago. At that time, he should have left the old land on the Bauhinia, not even out of the whale whisker sea.
In other words, it was not long before he left Gru town with his front foot that something happened to his rear foot. What happened in the end?
"Do you have no doubt what happened to the manor?" Angel asked again.
George's face changed several times, and finally sighed, "it's no use to doubt. After all, we can't go in. Anyway, some people in the town have changed their color about the manor. They just don't talk about it and live their own life. At least, the Viscount's tax on the territory is the same as before, and doesn't exploit everyone."
Angel thought for a moment and stood up.
"Uncle George, he'll stay with you first. I'm going back to the manor to see the situation." Angel pointed to drew and said to George.
George frowned: "but the manor is closed now. Will you go in like this..."
"Pat manor is closed, but no outsiders are allowed in, but don't forget my identity."
George is right to think about it. Angel is the young master of Pat manor. Other people are all right. No matter how he can go in, George won't stop him.
After angel left, George looked at Dulu with a low head and asked curiously, "I just saw that you respect Angel very much and call him an adult. What's your relationship with him? What's the cover he's learned over the years..."
George asked a lot of questions, but DURU didn't dare to answer one question. He said bitterly, "these things should be kept secret. I can't answer without Lord Pat's permission."
George gave DURU a serious look, saw his eyes firm, and finally gave up asking.
George stopped asking, but drew said curiously, "Lord pat looks very young. I don't know how old he is this year?"
George thought, "I remember when angel left, he was just fourteen years old. Now, he should be almost eighteen."
Eighteen years old? Almost the same age as him?!
