I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 107

The faint starlight is projected in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a bit of warmth to this cold season.Although the house has a system that automatically adjusts the temperature, this gloomy weather always makes people feel that the temperature is lower than it actually is.Lin Jian closed the book in his hand, leaned back on the recliner and stared out the French window in a daze.

After talking with Berego a few days ago, Lin Jian decided to reduce the number of times she went out as much as possible after learning that her neighbor didn't seem to be a good person to get along with. The book was full of books, which made her firmer in her determination.In the past few days, she hasn't even stepped out of this building. A girl named Emily will deliver her three meals a day, and she herself is either reading in the study or exercising in the gym at the other end of the first floor.It took a lot of time to make this body more flexible, and Lin Jian would never allow this body to return to its previous emaciated and weak state.

Sometimes Berego would come here to chat with Lin Jian or something. After the second contact, Lin Jian knew that Berego's job was to accompany her when she was locked up in this manor.This surprised her quite a bit. To be honest, she really couldn't figure out what was the point of sending her to a place a thousand light-years away from the Capital Star to live in luxury.

Lin Jian would not foolishly think that he deserves this kind of care, even if he is the Duke, but the trial of the court is real.This kind of weird situation made her afraid to spend every day here with peace of mind.

"Berego, how is the new adult living here?" Morton, the head chef of Thaliman Manor, put the prepared dishes on the dining car, and said to Berego who was sitting on the side.

"It looks very humble. Who knows if it's because he was thrown here." Berego in the kitchen has completely lost the submissiveness he had in front of Lin Jian at this time. He is lazy. Yangyang sat on a chair near the fire, with a hint of sarcasm in the smile on her face: "She said that if she could leave here, she would vindicate me. If it was really that easy, how could a duke be thrown here? Plant a place."

"Come on, Berego, why is your child always like this." Morton shook his head and put the last snack on the dining car, "I heard that it was just a child, maybe she wasn't lying to you. "

"It seems that's all." Berego nodded, the expression on his face changed for a moment and then returned to the previous mocking: "Who knows, those nobles are very cunning, how can we trust them casually."

"Okay, Berego, it's a good thing that your Excellency came." Emily walked over, this girl in her 20s had just worked in the manor for two months, "At least I don't have to go Delivered food to His Highness the Prince. To be honest, I think His Excellency the Duke is a million times friendlier than that Highness." Thinking of the Highness she was in charge of delivering meals before Lin Jian came, Emily felt tingly all over her body. The skin shuddered.

"Is this the Duke's lunch?" Emily pointed to the dining car in front. "Look at the time, it's time for me to deliver her lunch."

Just as Emily pushed the dining car out of the kitchen, Lin Jian was sitting on a recliner in the library and looking out the window.She had been sitting in front of the French windows for half an hour, not in a daze, but because she saw the legendary Highness.

At first Lin Jian didn't realize the identity of that person, he was sitting far away on the steps of the fountain pool, in this cold weather, he was wearing very thin clothes, and Lin Jian noticed that he didn't even wear shoes .

He sat on the cold stone steps for a long time, long enough for Lin Jian to realize that the only people who can sit here for such a long time without going to work are probably only herself and the person locked in the tower Your Highness.Lin Jian, who originally planned to go to the gym to exercise, immediately put aside his previous thoughts after realizing the identity of the other party.She immediately got up and walked to another corner of the library, where several antiques were placed, including a monocular telescope that was unknown how many years ago.When Lin Jian came to this library for the first time, he was quite curious about the age of this antique, but a few days later, this thing actually played its original purpose.

This antique was well preserved, so when Lin Jian adjusted it to a suitable angle, a clear appearance of that person immediately appeared in his sight.I don't know if it's because of staying too long in this place where there is no normal starlight all year round.This His Royal Highness the Prince named Thaliman had a face that was so pale that there was no blood.He didn't even look like a member of the Iniesta family. He didn't have brown curly hair or narrow eyes.

His long gray hair was scattered behind his back unfettered, blown up and down by the cold wind that perpetually runs through the manor.As if he couldn't feel the cold wind, sitting there motionless looked more like a statue than the statue in the pool.

Lin Jian could only see his side face in the room, but from this side face, there was already a kind of astonishing beauty. She adjusted the viewing distance of the monocular to the maximum, and she could almost see his pale as paper. Blue blood vessels on the face and thick, fan-like eyelashes drooping down.Is this person really in his 30s?Lin Jian heard that he has been imprisoned here since he was 14 years old. If it weren't for his tall figure, Lin Jian would think that time had stopped on him, and his profile still looked as smooth as a boy's.

Is such a quiet and beautiful person the one who shouts loudly at night?
But although this person seems to be quiet at this time, maybe this posture can show his depression and misery.No matter who it is, the 14-year-old green onion was sent to this kind of place, with no relatives, no friends, and no life.It's like a flower that has not yet bloomed has been pinched off the branch.

Suddenly, Lin Jian saw him move through the binoculars.

At this time, another person appeared in sight, and Lin Jian recognized that it was Emily who delivered food for her these days.Emily was visibly taken aback by the man sitting by the sink.Her originally brisk pace immediately became cautious at this moment, and she didn't dare to look left and right like before. She lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to breathe, and pushed the dining car quickly towards the building where Lin Jian was.

After leaving the pool for about twenty meters, Emily seemed relieved.Lin Jian could see through the binoculars that she let out a long sigh of relief.It's just that she seemed to be happy too early. From the binoculars, Lin Jian saw that the man who was sitting on the steps of the pool just now suddenly turned his head in Emily's direction.

Lin Jian immediately saw his face.With bright red lips on his pale face, he slowly raised his lowered eyelids, and a pair of emerald-like pupils looked straight at Emily's back.Then he suddenly showed a smile that can only be described as coquettish.

The lack of kindness in that smile made Lin Jian frown.

For such a beautiful man, it makes people feel goosebumps when he smiles, which is really uncomfortable.

The sound of Emily pressing the communicator was heard at the door, and Lin Jian retracted the telescope, put it back on the shelf, and walked Emily Fang in.

Emily is only 21 years old this year, and she is not a prisoner here.Her father worked in a construction company. Four years ago, he participated in the construction of a royal theater in the empire. However, when the emperor went to watch the performance of the famous actress Pei Si Ni, he was bombed. A bomb placed inside that did not have time to explode.So everyone involved in building the theater was arrested.Emily's father was sent Violet for being one of the main people in charge.

Emily followed her father to the Violet with her mother, and if they could work here and earn enough contribution points, her father could get a reduced sentence.

"I was really scared to death just now." Emily is a lively girl. After delivering meals a few times, she became acquainted with Lin Jian, who has no airs of a duke. She pushed the dining car to the dining table, and said with lingering fear: "I've even forgotten that today is the day when that person was able to walk out of the tower. When I saw him by the pool just now, I felt like all the blood in my body was congealed."

"Why? Is he a terrible person?" Lin Jian stood aside and watched Emily put the lunch on the table from the dining car, "Berego also told me to stay away from him before."

"Yes, His Highness Thurriman looks like a holy son in a temple when he is motionless. But..." Emily even trembled a bit when she said this, she looked up at Lin Jian, her face Full of fear: "But, he is actually a devil. He killed Fanny... the last girl who delivered food for him."

"He killed people here? Killed people in prison?" Lin Jian was taken aback, and turned his head unconsciously to look out through the glass window of the restaurant. The man was still sitting there, motionless.Although he could feel the distortion in his heart from that smile, Lin Jian didn't expect him to be so violent. "Such a dangerous person is allowed to go out?"

"Of course." Emily looked a little depressed, "Fanny is just the daughter of a felon, and that person is a prince. Although he is a crime that the royal family tried their best to cover up, he is still Iraqi. A member of the Nezsta family. Besides, Fanny is not the first."

"Not the first one?" Thinking of that person's smile now, Lin Jian felt that he could understand Emily's fear at that time.

"Yes, I heard Mr. Morton, oh, Mr. Morton is the chef here, and he said that six years ago, a girl who worked here disappeared, and it was a full month before the guards were in that tower The girl's body was found. It is said that her death was horrible." At this point, Emily's face turned pale, and she looked at Lin Jian, begging with emotion: "So, my lord, please You must not refuse my food delivery, so that I don't have to go to that high tower. The warden will not allow you to have a common servant with that highness."

Seeing Emily's pleading expression, Lin Jian was a little speechless, and then nodded after a while: "If possible, I will try my best to let you work here."

After getting Lin Jian's promise, Emily finally left with peace of mind.And just as Lin Jian sat down at the dining table and was about to start eating, a scream came from a distance outside the house.Lin Jian quickly stood up and looked out the window, still by the pool, Lin Jian saw that man grabbed Emily, he choked Emily's neck fiercely, his long arm made Emily Mi Li's arms couldn't touch his body, so she could only wave in the air in vain.

Lin Jian felt some blood rushing to her head, she pushed away the chair and ran towards the door.
