Working Prophet.

Chapter 165
The more one hears about the black dragon, the more disturbing one becomes.

Ilea didn't know what happened to the others. Anyway, she suffered from insomnia that night, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed.

As soon as you close your eyes, you will see the terrifying scene of the black dragon raging everywhere in the green field, breathing out flames, and burning everything to death.

And thanks to Li Yu's motion camera, the girl doesn't even have to imagine what the monster looks like, her brain can directly process the ready-made material into a horror movie, and then start playing it in a loop.

In the end, Miss Rabbit didn't sleep at all, just got up from the bed, put on some clothes casually, and walked out of her bedroom.

She didn't know where she was going, so she wandered around the castle to relax.

It was almost midnight by now, most people had already fallen asleep, and there was no one in the corridor.

It was so quiet that only the girl's own footsteps could be heard.

Ilea recalled that when she was young, she would be terrified every time she woke up to take a urinate in the middle of the night, because her room was at the other end of the corridor and she had to walk a long way to the latrine.

At that time, her mind was full of ghost stories told by her nurse, so she was always very afraid of those darkness and shadows, worrying that there might be some monsters hidden in them.

In order not to go out in the middle of the night, she even deliberately held back her urine until she was seven years old. Once, she couldn't hold back anymore and urinated on the bed.

Since then, her father had ordered several more torches to be installed in the corridor, illuminating the path from her room to the hut.

Ilea didn't know why she would think of this little thing again.

It has been more than four months since she became the new owner of the castle, but sometimes when she finished her day's work and returned to her room to rest, she would still be in a trance for a moment when she opened the door.

She thought she would see that familiar figure inside, but then the empty bedroom would remind her that that person was no longer there.

There have been too many changes in her life recently. Since she wanted to become the new head of Arias, she first fought wits with her stepmother, and then she was busy looking for internal support and preparing for the banquet.

Soon afterward, the Lizardman ran out of the swamp again, plundered everywhere, once reached Teacup Castle, and then faced the threat of a giant dragon...

Things happened one after another, so that she didn't even have time to digest the pain that the man left.

Until tonight, maybe the sense of crisis brought to her by the dragon was too strong, making her involuntarily want to find support, or the bond between the ugly man and the black beauty also brought back some memories for her.

In short, the girl now misses the former owner of this castle very much.

Even if that person is not the most outstanding one among the previous patriarchs of the Arias family, especially after Ilea took over his mantle and became the new lord of this territory, looking back at some of the things he did before, I found It may not be as wise as that person boasted at the time.

This is probably growing up. The parents who were omnipotent in their eyes when they were young will one day lose all the halo on their bodies and become mortals again.

But Ilea still wanted that person to be by her side.

A gust of night wind blew, and the girl realized that she had walked out of the stone castle. The guard in charge of night duty in front of the door was a little surprised to see her, but quickly reacted and saluted her.

Ilea nodded at the other party, and was about to go to another place, when the guard said, "Miss Ilea, you are here too, are you here to find the old lady? She just climbed the city wall. "

"My great-grandmother Ona, isn't she asleep too?" the girl asked, taking back her half-stepped steps.

The guard hesitated for a while, and finally said truthfully, "Since Lord Ruth passed away, the old lady has not been sleeping well. She often wakes up at this time, and then she will go around the city wall, and told us not to tell Others, you need me to inform her that you are here."

"No, I'll go up by myself."

After Ilea finished speaking, she walked towards the city wall.

She lifted her nightgown, stepped on the steep stone steps, and climbed up the castle wall step by step, and soon saw another figure on the top of the city.

It was her great-grandmother, the old man stood under the starry sky, looking at the distant forest in a trance.

Ilea didn't step forward to disturb her, and she didn't speak until Ona looked away, "Russ used to like to do this too."

"what?"

"My father, your grandson, he also likes to stand here and look at his territory."

"Yes, he learned it from his father, and his father learned it from his father's father." The old man said, "The men of the Arias family are like a mold sometimes. carved out of it."

Previously, because she suspected that someone in the castle was in collusion with her stepmother Vanessa, Ilea once stopped trusting these blood relatives around her.But after following Li Yu's suggestion, the girl took the initiative to express some kindness to her relatives.

After that, Ona has also been firmly supporting her great-granddaughter. With her statement, people in the Arias family quickly accepted Ilea, the new head of the family.

The two sides took a step back, and it was like exposing all the unhappiness before.

But it is impossible to say that there is no grudge in her heart. Thinking that someone tried to manipulate the election and put her half-brother in power, it is difficult for Ilea to trust her relatives like before.

Including her great-grandmother who had taken care of her for a long time, the girl has been keeping a distance from them intentionally or unintentionally, and the two sides rarely have such private conversations like tonight.

When I got closer, Ilea realized that Ona was much older than she thought. Not only was all her hair gray, but the wrinkles on her face became deeper, and her pupils became cloudy.

Then I contacted the previous guard and said that since Ruth's death, she began to sleep restlessly, and would climb up the city wall from time to time.

Ilea couldn't help but feel a little guilty for the previous intentional alienation, so she said again, "You are right, regarding whether those lizardmen should be kept, I remember you once said that the storm is coming, and it is necessary to To do something extraordinary, most people, including me, did not agree with your idea at the time.

"But the final facts prove that you are the right one. Considering the terrifying monsters hidden in that swamp, we really need the power of those lizardmen."

After a pause, the girl continued, "This incident also reminded me that, except for Fausto, the people around me are generally younger, although I don't want to admit it... But sometimes we may not be so helpful, uh... …foresight, so I was thinking, maybe in the future, I should also take more advice from people with a lot of experience like you.”

Unexpectedly, Ona shook her head, "I'm too old to advise you like I did for your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather, and the storm I mentioned earlier , nor the dragon."
