Soul Echo

"Today, I invite you to come here mainly to announce one thing."

Aristocrats and wealthy businessmen in gowns were greeted with an elegant tone Attracting attention, they turned their heads and looked towards the old man who was leaning on a cane and standing on the stairs.

Even though he is old, hair grey-white, the old man still looks very energetic, with only a few wrinkles on his face, he can vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth.

In the soft music, the old man tapped the ground with his cane, "Tim, now you can come down."

hearing this, people turned their eyes to the two Upstairs, seeing a door open, the footman walked out first, leading a boy downstairs.

The boy's presence is discuss spiritedly, as the staircase faces a huge portrait of the contemporary Grand Duke of Milan in his youth.

They don't know when the painting was replaced, and now they only care about the boy's identity - he looks too similar to the portrait.

The old man faintly smiled, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, observing their faces and expressions.

——As long as you're not stupid, you can guess the boy's identity.

The boy walked over to the old man and was wrapped around his shoulders.

"Tim Gloria, my son."

The old man patted the boy's shoulder with a smile, and the boy stroked his chest and bowed, giving a salute.

Even though there was speculation, there were still people who exclaimed in a low voice.

In Etruscan law, the illegal child also has the right of inheritance, but the right of inheritance is even after the stepson. If the successor in the first place does not allow it, the illegal child will not be able to get what belongs to him. That legacy.

However, the Archduke had no nephews and no stepsons.

In the hall, people discussed spiritedly, but there were also a few people who didn't talk to others, staring straight at the Archduke and his child.

There is no need for the Grand Duke to observe by himself. Several servants who are hiding in the dark have already helped him write down all those people.

Those people may not be all those who want to seize the position of the Grand Duke and the property of the Gloria family, but they must be relevant stakeholders. Through them, it may be possible to find out the murder of Eldest Young. Prisoner of the Master's heir.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the mansion.

At first, only a few people heard it, others only vaguely heard a movement.

However, after a few more shouts came in, people gradually stopped discussing and stared blankly at the gate of the mansion.

The Archduke brows slightly wrinkle, but without panic, tells the musicians to stop playing.

Da, da, da...

Clear, the sound of stepping on the floor gradually approached, and the person standing near the door moved away from the door.

People stared at the gate with bated breath, the sound of footsteps beating on their hearts like drumsticks, accelerating their heartbeats.

A middle age person dressed as a steward quietly came to the Archduke's side, made no sound, pressed his chest with his right hand holding a short staff, and saluted the Archduke.

The grand public noticed his arrival from the corner of his eye, slightly relaxed, and nodded.

They turned their eyes to the door again, but heard the footsteps stop suddenly.

People's heartbeat in this brief moment seemed to stop for a beat, subconsciously holding their breath.

Squeaky~

The door so heavy that it took two people to open it was easily pushed open by two hands, and Zhong Ye's silhouette then caught everyone's eyes.

The ladies present still remembered raising their fans to cover their mouths, while some men with big belly subconsciously touched their fat, looking towards Zhong Ye with a bit more inexplicable meaning. .

The visitor seems to have two vortex in his eyes, which contains a violent thunder.

"...Who are you?"

The archduke tapped the head of the staff, breaking the eerie silence, "I don't remember, I invited you..."

Zhong Ye stood at the door, the Grand Duke stood on the steps facing the gate, he looked down from a height, he should have looked more noble, but looking at Zhong Ye, the Grand Duke suddenly felt that it was because he was standing here , in order to 'look at it'.

"I'm Zhong Ye, an adventurer."

Zhong Ye's lips parted lightly, and without waiting for the Grand Duke to ask any more questions, he took the initiative to say the purpose of this trip: "I'm here, yes In order to seek justice for the innocent people who died of Aspalathos."

"Aspalathos? Dead people of Aspalathos, why are you here..."

"Aspalathos? p>

"Just for this..."

"What the hell is he talking about..."

People whispered and cast their doubts, contempt and resentment at Zhong one after another Ye.

The Grand Duke eyebrow raised, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, his face strange, "This is Milan."

"Because this is Milan!"

Zhong Ye turned his head , incorporate the reactions of everyone present into the eyes.

"You nobles are busy with affairs, you probably don't know what happened to Aspalathos, right?" Unfastened, the heavy two-handed sword fell and plunged into the ground.

Zhong Ye pressed the hilt of the sword, in this brief moment, he was like a wall, completely enclosing the hall.

"Tim Gloria, the eldest son of the eldest duke was not at first hidden in Milan, he lived with his biological mother in Dalmatia, and just this month, they Dalmatia returned to Milan.

“Someone of the Archduke’s staff gave him an idea to divide the team into two groups: light and dark, on the surface the real Tim Young Master The team with his biological mother was a fake Tim Gloria in secret. Shortly after the two teams set off, news suddenly leaked, letting some guys with ulterior motives know that there was another team secretly. exist.

"The person who leaked the news didn't tell those people whether the secret team was real or not, just let those people guess, successfully exploited the weakness of human nature, and turned their attention completely to the secret team. The team from here - and, at the same time, when the team set off in the shadows, the staff member also told the team's escorts that they were protecting the 'real' Tim Gloria."

After listening to Zhong Ye's remarks, many people's eyes lit up, and there was a little more admiration in the eyes looking towards the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke looked suspicious and looked towards the steward beside him. He didn't remember that he had invited someone to brag about him.

After a pause, Zhong Ye continued: "No one knows about this except themselves. Naturally, neither do the loyal guards. The bodyguards think they are protecting the real Tim. Gloria, for this, some guards sacrificed their lives, and many were disabled...

"I met this team halfway, because the killers sent by ulterior motives I wanted to kill a witness to silence them and destroy all evidence. At that time, my camp was just not far from the team. If a fight broke out, I would definitely know, so the killers attacked me, and I helped That team drove the killers out, and the leader of the guards hired me for a lot of money. "

"What the hell are you trying to say?" A voice suddenly interrupted Zhong Ye's narration, and people turned their heads to look over.

The handsome young aristocrat with flaxen curly hair and long shawl looked disgusted and cursed: "Rory , said a lot of words, who cares about that-"

But I saw Zhong Ye wipe his wrist on the belt, and an arc flew out, piercing the cheek of the young noble.

The young aristocrat was stunned for a moment, then felt the pain, raised his trembling hand to cover the wound on his face, and screamed: "Ah! Ah-"

The screams echoed in the silent and empty hall, causing people's hearts to chill, and some people also screamed.

Zhong Ye ignored it. They continued: "Venice is the last stop of our journey, and Aspalatos is the best choice to go to Venice, where we were attacked for the last time by the killer.

"To hold me down, they kidnapped a troll cub, lured an entire horde of a dozen trolls to Aspalatos, and then threw the troll cub out Killing it, made the trolls furious, and then the trolls broke out and started to destroy buildings and slaughter people!"

At this moment, the face of Zhong Ye, who was quite calm, suddenly changed. ferocious.

"In order to compete for power and to kill a child, a dozen trolls were brought in, and they were allowed to destroy towns, kill lives, and kill each other. Don't you feel the slightest bit? Shame, remorse, shame?!

"—Don't you even have the slightest human dignity? ! "
