The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 218 The Lost Family

"Have you moved away?"

Looking at the vaguely familiar manor in front of him, Yatim fell into deep thought.

He was a little surprised by this situation, but he didn't think there was anything too strange.

The distance between the place where the Nock family is located and the place where the Sleepy Academy is located is too far away, and it often takes about a year to receive a letter sent from one side to the other.

With such a long distance, it is normal for news to be distorted sometimes.

It is possible that people from the Nock family sent a message to the predecessor, but the predecessor did not receive it at all.

It is normal for letters to have accidents during delivery.

Of course, this is also related to Yuan Shen's indifferent personality and not paying much attention to family affairs.

He was less than ten years old when he left the family, he was just a child, and he only came back once in so many years, so naturally he didn't care about everything in the family.

Because for him, this place is not the so-called home, but a completely strange place.

The Sleepy Academy is more like home.

Moving forward, Yatimu thought for a moment, then raised his head: "Please help me make an appointment with the owner of this house."

In any case, the Nock family is also a baron family, and they are considered local nobles, so they have some reputation.

It shouldn't be too difficult for Yatimu to inquire about the news.

just see what's next
Time passed slowly.

The next day, Yatim came to another place.

"right here?"

Looking at the dilapidated and small manor in front of him, Yatim was a little surprised.

Compared with the appearance in his memory, this place is quite lonely.

In the few memories of the family in the predecessor, I vaguely remember the prosperity of the Nok family. Although it is not the largest family in the local area, it is considered to be powerful and lives quite well.

As a result, it has become this now?

Although they were all manors, the previous ones were located in the center of the city and occupied a rather large area.

And the one in front of me is not only located outside the city, but also looks so bleak.

This is really
Walking in directly along the road, I met someone at the door and began to question him.

"This is the private territory of the Nock family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Sir, please leave."

In front of the gate, the guard in charge spoke, his eyes fixed on Yatimu, as if he wanted to see through him.

Meeting his gaze, Yatimu looked up.

Even though it was just a casual glance, a terrifying sense of oppression emerged.

The legs of the dive in front of him softened, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

This is the result of Yatimu keeping his hand, otherwise he would not have collapsed to the ground, but would have passed out or even died suddenly.

"I don't want to talk unnecessary nonsense, please let Miss Honey come out to see me now."

Yadimu looked at the other attendants in front of him, and a faint spiritual force emerged from his body, forming a terrifying sense of oppression for everyone in front of him: "My time is limited, I don't want to waste too much here, and I still have to wait for you." Please cooperate."

A faint mental oppression emerged, causing a huge impact on these people in front of him.

The person in front of him looked at Yatim nervously, as if he saw a terrifying wild beast.

But when they heard Hani's name, their expressions became a little strange.

Yatimu was keenly aware of this.

He frowned: "If Miss Honey is not here, please ask Mr. Carlo to come out and meet me."

These two people are people he is relatively familiar with in the Nock family.

Among them, Honey is his older sister and Carlo is his older brother.

Of course, they are all half-brothers.

Although they are half-brothers, compared to other people, these two people are already the people he is most familiar with.

So at this time, they were the first thing he thought of.

"you"

The few guards in front of him looked at each other, and the weirdness on their faces became even more serious.

One of them was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Do you know my father?"

A childish voice came from behind.

Yatimu turned to look and found that it was a child.

It was a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old, wearing a long white dress, standing there looking at Yatimu crisply.

"you are?"

Looking at the girl's vaguely familiar face, Yatimu's heart moved: "Carol's child?"

The girl hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Is that so?"

Yatimu squatted down slowly, looked at the girl in front of him, and smiled on his face: "My name is Roland."

"You are Uncle Roland?"

Hearing this name, the girl's face suddenly showed surprise.

This kind of reaction made Yatimu feel a little strange.

He hadn't been here all year round, and the people in the family didn't know anyone at all. They thought that few people knew him after such a long time.

Unexpectedly, this niece who had never seen him knew his name clearly.

Judging from this, it should be that his cheap brother often whispered in his ear.

Various thoughts flashed in Yatim's mind.

"Take me to see your father."

Looking at the girl in front of him, he smiled and said, asking her to take him directly to find someone.

Only at this time, the guards on the side showed something unusual.

Seeing Yadimu revealing his identity, he wanted to find his brother, but the first reaction of these guards was not to apologize respectfully, but to subconsciously stop him.

thump!
Several sounds came out at the same time, it was the sound made by several figures landing at the same time.

A powerful mental force was released, directly pressing them tightly, making them lose the ability to resist, and at the same time, the whole brain buzzed, as if it was about to explode.

The severe pain made them roll on the ground, almost going crazy.

After a while, this feeling subsides.

But before they could rejoice, they saw the indifferent Yatim in front of them.

"Get up now and follow me."

"Think about your current actions. If I am not satisfied, I don't think you will want to know the result."

The people in front of them looked at each other, and in the end, without exception, they all walked in front of Yatimu.

boom!
A crisp sound sounded, and then the body of one of them exploded directly, and the pieces of meat fell to the ground. The scene looked extremely bloody.

"Forgot to remind you."

Yatimu held the little girl in his arms, and covered her eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene in front of her: "I can know what you are thinking, so if you have any extra thoughts, take a look first. Can you bear it yourself?"

"That's all I've said, please lead the way now."

The people around looked at the broken corpse in front of them, and at Yatim who was standing in front of him. He was obviously a young man, but he looked like a devil. The serious fear became more and more intense, and finally he dared not move at all. , I dare not even have extra thoughts.

They approached slowly.

To Yatimu's surprise, except for the guards in front of the gate, Yatimu didn't see a few guards in other places.

It seems that all the power in the entire manor is concentrated in front of the gate.

But it doesn't seem strange to think about it.

After all, judging from the current situation, the Nock family is already in such a dilapidated state, and there is no extra manpower after all.

After all, it takes a lot of money to raise a guard.

Yatim moved forward all the way and came to a corner.

Looking here, he couldn't help but look.

The overall feeling of the whole manor is not as good as that of the previous manor.

But that's not to say the manor is all dilapidated.

In fact, the building in the core area is quite intact, with well-furnished rooms, stables and other equipment, and it seems to be well maintained.

On the other hand, it's not going to work here, the overall look is dilapidated, and it can't be seen that it is a place where nobles live.

Yatim found a middle-aged man inside.

He is said to be middle-aged, but he is actually only in his early thirties, but he looks quite mature.

However, considering the general situation of this era, his situation is actually not surprising.

When Yatimu saw the other party, the other party also saw Yatimu.

At first glance, he was stunned for a while, as if he didn't recognize it.

But after all, they are brothers, and they have met a few times before, so there is still a sense of vague familiarity.

Soon, he guessed Yatimu's identity, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Roland, is that you?"

A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurried forward, looking at Yatimu with a strange and apprehensive look.

His face was full of excitement, and it was by no means false, but the most genuine emotional expression.

"Brother Carlo, long time no see."

Looking at the appearance of the other party, Yatimu smiled, and finally said hello.

A moment later, in Carlo's room.

A tablecloth was placed on a wooden table with several small dishes on it.

The woman on the side was busy there, trying to add a few decent dishes to the table.

Yatim looked at the table.

There are quite a lot of things on the dining table at the moment, but if you look carefully, there is nothing good at all. The meat is only a piece of tasteless air-dried meat, and you can’t see the fresh fruit. , like the cheap fruit wine sold outside.

Yatimu could even see several dishes made of wild vegetables on the dining table.

It can be seen from these things that his elder brother is already in a very difficult situation.

"Feel sorry."

Facing Yatimu's sight, Carlo sighed, and seemed a little embarrassed: "It's rare for you to come back, but I can only entertain you with these things, it's really true"

"It doesn't matter."

Yatimu smiled: "When I was at the academy, the things there were not much better than here, so I just deal with it casually."

"Dana."

He looked at the side timidly, and looked at the little girls with some longing for the food, and then smiled: "You come too."

The girl didn't go forward immediately, but timidly turned her head to look at Carlo, as if she wanted to get his permission.
