sleep forever

The blue sky and white clouds, the spring breeze is pleasant, no matter how you look at it, it is a good weather for traveling, but Adrian's face is gloomy like the eve of a storm.The woman in front of him was his eldest daughter, Katerina, and the young man at the foot of the noble man was a blacksmith who secretly had a crush on his eldest daughter.

As for the pale young nobleman, it was Viscount Sofra.

Katerina is the mistress of Viscount Sofra. As for the messy affair between her and the poor blacksmith, many nobles are aware of it, but Viscount Sofra is not.Recently, he always felt that the way other people looked at him was a bit strange. After a long time, he felt that something was wrong, so he asked his subordinates to check it, and it turned out that something was found after the check, so the scene in front of him came into being.

Viscount Sofra saw a group of people approaching in the distance, and with sharp eyes, he recognized Adrian immediately.

With a sneer, Solav stepped hard on the young man under his feet, and then said to Katerina who was begging in front of him: "You can be regarded as my woman... I won't make things difficult for you, but your father It's hard to say, all of us are very clear about his character and behavior, to be precise, the way you Bechedo family men behave."

Hearing this, Katerina's body trembled, she turned her head and saw her father with a dark face, walking quickly, his originally pale face turned into a miserable blue.

All Bechedo's children were afraid of their father, although Adrian sent their dear mother to a big nobleman to vent their desires, which then led to the mother's death.They have been angry and resented, but Adrian has always set an example, always taking the interests of the family as the primary goal, and does not care about his own reputation or even his own safety.

For such a father, their feelings are very complicated, which can be summed up in two words: awe.

It didn't take long for Adrian to walk up to the three of them. Katerina looked at her father with a charcoal complexion, and was about to say something when she was slapped loudly.

The little blacksmith, who had been trampled under his feet, saw his woman knocked to the ground, screamed, put his hands on the ground, and struggled vigorously.The muscles on his arm were bulging high, covered with tangled blood vessels, obviously he had a lot of strength.But even so, Solav, who was pale and looked so weak, still easily stepped him on the ground.

Nobles who have practiced fighting qi, no matter how weak they are, are not something ordinary people can compete with.

"How dare you move around!" Sofra stepped the little blacksmith's face directly into the sand; then looked at someone who had just walked over with a playful expression: "Oh, isn't this old Mr. Bechedo, your lord?" install."

Adrian quickly glanced at the eldest daughter whose mouth was bleeding from the beating, and then struggled to pull a smile on his black face that was dripping ink: "Viscount Sofra, why are you here?"

"Aren't you asking knowingly?" Sofra laughed jokingly, her white teeth shining brightly in the sun: "I had a good impression of your Bechedo family at first, but now After this matter...Your Excellency Adrian, what do you think should be done!"

Adrian frowned: "It is a felony for a commoner to seduce a noble woman and rape her. Besides, he is a servant of my family, which is an even worse crime. I hope you can hand over this blacksmith to me. For the family After the trial, I will kill him to wash away the shame of my family."

"Father, don't...don't." Katerina quickly crawled over, hugged Adrian's big feet, and begged.She knew that her father was always right... If he really wanted to kill the little blacksmith, then nine lives would not be enough for the latter.

"Go away, you spoiled beast." Adrian wanted to kick his daughter aside, but it was a pity that Katrin's calf was hugged tightly, and he couldn't use his strength at all.

Sofra watched from the side with a half-smile, as if he was watching a comedy. After a while, he said: "Your Excellency Adrian is really just, a model among the nobles... just I want to have a favor, you guys After the public trial, can I watch this little blacksmith be executed with my own eyes?"

Adrian's eyes closed for a while, and then opened, still with the calm expression: "I plan to stone this usurping blacksmith... the scene will be very bloody, Your Excellency Solav, you have a noble status. , if you come here in person, will it damage your identity?"

As soon as she heard that it was stoning, Katerina screamed, let go of Adrian's calf, and fainted to the ground.And the little blacksmith seemed to accept his fate, and he didn't struggle anymore.

"It doesn't matter. I'm used to being dirty. I don't even think Katerina is dirty. It's nothing to kill someone."

Adrian's eyelids twitched, but he didn't speak.

Sofra stomped on the blacksmith under her feet, and continued: "Your Excellency Adrian, I remember that in our private agreement, let Katerina stay with me for three months, and I will give you the blueprint. But you didn't tell me that Katerina is secretly dating other men. It's fine if she's a nobleman, but she's a pariah... I feel disgusted when I think of sharing a hole with an inferior person, Lord Adrian , how do you think you should compensate me?"

Adrian was expressionless: "This is indeed something wrong with our family... Now that's the case, how about I ask Lacus to apologize to Your Excellency?"

"Qingyinhua?" Sofra smiled: "It's still free. Your youngest daughter seems to be called... Ruth. I heard that she is still a virgin, how about letting her come and apologize to me?" !"

Adrian, who was still dark-faced, laughed when he heard this: "Sofla didn't attend the dinner held by the Association of Soul Thinkers! And today I shouldn't have asked about what happened last night! My little daughter, Ruth, Now she is the maid of His Excellency Chen Xiansong. So I can only express my deep regret."

A soul thinker named Chen Xiansong came to Round Wood City, and everyone knew this.Sofra laughed: "Your Excellency is not joking, the line of the soul thinker is not so easy to match."

Sofra is the second son of the family, and last night's banquet was attended by his elder brother on behalf of the family. In addition, last night he was all focused on the matter in front of him, so he got up early to 'grab' and didn't inquire at all. What happened last night.

Adrian's smile grew more relaxed.

Looking at Adrian's calm smile, Sofra felt that something was a little bit wrong. At this time, Chen Xiansong slowly walked in front of the four of them.Since he was only wearing ordinary noble clothes today, he didn't wear the soul thinker's robe that symbolized his identity.In addition, Sofra did not attend the banquet, so the latter did not guess Chen Xiansong's identity at the moment.

Sofra glanced at Chen Xiansong, and then his eyes fell on Bai Min's body... A few seconds later, his expression became messy, and then he acted very disturbed. He saw the blacksmith under his feet, and hurriedly put his feet away , and then straightened his clothes, and after taking a few breaths, he bent down and bowed to Bai Min: "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to know your name."

Bai Min ignored him, and didn't even look at him.

If he met a woman who ignored him before, Sofra would definitely be angry. If the other party's status was higher than him, he would still be angry, but he would hide this emotion in his heart and wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future.But Bai Min ignored him, he lost his self-esteem, but he didn't even have the slightest intention to complain... because he felt that he had seen a goddess who had fallen into the mortal world.

So instead of being angry, he took two steps back, looking very disturbed, as if he felt that his rude behavior just now made the other party bored.

Adrian saw that Sofra was lost, but he was not angry, and a pity flashed in his eyes.

Without Sofra's restraint, the little blacksmith got up and ran to Katerina's side, wanting to help her, but seeing Adrian's gaze shifting over, he didn't dare to move anymore.He is an apprentice in charge of melting and casting metal in the jewelry workshop, while Katerina is in charge of monitoring the work progress of the jewelry workshop. She often comes here to check, coming and going.

It’s just that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. It didn’t take long for Adrian to know about them, as did many nobles, and now, Sofra also knew.

Adrian stared at the little blacksmith: "Go back to your home now and wait for the stoning. If you dare to escape, your whole family will die. Your father, younger siblings and I will not stay behind."

The little blacksmith's face was full of simplicity and honesty, and he didn't see many expressions of fear. He just asked, "Katerina will be okay?"

Adrian glanced at him again: "Take care of your own affairs first."

Chen Xiansong heard the conversation between the two, and was a little curious: "What is stoning?"

Adrian hesitated for a while, and then explained: "It is to throw the sinner into a big pit, and then slowly smash him to death with a stone the size of half a fist, so as to wash away the sins on his body."

Chen Xiansong frowned and said, "It's too cruel."

A gleam of light flashed in Adrian's eyes: "Since your Excellency has spoken, I will temporarily spare this male blacksmith and deal with it as appropriate."

Chen Xiansong wore a mask made for him by Bai Min, his voice was distorted, and it was difficult for Adrian to understand.

Although Adrian still had a poker face, Chen Xiansong seemed to be able to feel a kind of joy rising quietly in the other party. He seemed to realize something, and gave Adrian a meaningful look.A certain person's hairs stood on end under his stare, as if his soul was being peeped at. He didn't relax until Chen Xiansong looked away, but even so, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Frances stayed behind Chen Xiansong. After hearing that she was going out for an 'outing', she was so happy that she jumped up and down all the way. Now she watched with interest what happened in front of her.It's a young girl, and she can read and write. She has read a lot of 'romance' novels circulated among the nobles.

The content is generally poor but talented commoners who fell in love with noble girls. They were separated by a certain male noble in love, and the male commoners were framed and exiled to other places... After several twists and turns, they found that they actually had souls to think deeply In the end, he took revenge with the momentum of thunder, and finally snatched the noble girl back, and lived a happy life ever since.

Aristocratic men generally don't like to read such stories, or in other words, they only like to read the short paragraph at the end.But women especially like it, especially those girls who haven't been in a relationship yet. They have innocent and beautiful fantasies about this kind of plot. As for the last point, they all treat it as an enlightenment book.

The scene in front of him, in the eyes of the little guy, almost matched the plot in the book. If the blacksmith who fell on the ground had some talent of a soul thinker, it would be like a novel.Therefore, the little guy's pupils turned lavender without anyone noticing, and he kept staring at the little blacksmith with curious eyes, as if hoping to see something.

Just looking at it for a while, the little guy can only see numbness and numbness from the blacksmith's eyes... In her little heart, the teacher's eyes are the most beautiful, shining with wisdom and kindness , just like the brightest morning star at dawn, such eyes are the characteristics that a soul thinker should have.

Then she lost interest.

Chen Xiansong continued to move forward.Adrian took a step back and whispered to the little blacksmith: "Take Carter back, then go back to your own home, wait, don't do anything, understand?"

The blacksmith Mu Na nodded, and Adrian snorted, and hurried to catch up.

Sofra stood at the back, looking at Bai Min's back, feeling lost, as if she wanted to catch up, but didn't dare.

Soon a few people arrived outside the workshop. The heavy metal smell made people feel uncomfortable in the throat. Even Adrian, who was used to smelling the smell here often, felt a little uncomfortable. Chen Xiansong had a mask, which was fine. , Bai Min didn't feel abnormal at all, the strange thing was that the little guy didn't have any uncomfortable reaction to such an environment.

Chen Xiansong was a bit careless and didn't notice this, but Bai Min did.Frances's slightly swollen chest stopped rising and falling completely, as if she didn't need to breathe, but Bai Min only reacted directly to dangerous creatures, and besides, a biochemical person can do it without breathing for several hours, so I don't think this ability is useful What's so strange, she lacks the brain to think independently, so she won't think too much for the time being.

Because of Chen Xiansong, the 'big man', the workshop has completely stopped working, and everyone was ordered to come out to meet him.

In total, there were workshop workers in their early forties, arranged in two teams.No one dared to look at Chen Xiansong, they all bent their waists and lowered their heads, looking as if they didn't dare to show their grandeur.

Chen Xiansong's first impression in the workshop was 'chaos'.Waste water, garbage... the air even smells like urine.The placement of the furnace, casting table, cutting table and other working tables is completely random, there is no rule at all, perhaps for the sake of confidentiality, there are no windows at all in the workshop, and the light inside is extremely dark. Workers can only rely on the dim light emitted by oil lamps and furnaces to work.

This caused the oxygen content inside to be significantly lower than outside. As soon as he entered, Chen Xiansong felt that he could hardly breathe.

Seeing such a scene, the corner of Chen Xiansong's mouth twitched, and he said to himself: "There are so many things that can be improved, I don't even know where to start."
