"Go in, I believe Simon is still willing to meet this old friend of mine." The tall Sean directly lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Although he was not wearing armor, his upright posture and chilling feeling when walking , it is still possible to tell at a glance that this is a general who has been on the battlefield for many years.
The door of the manor was tightly closed, and Quinn was the only one accompanying Sean. At this time, everyone probably thought that His Highness the First Prince was still directing the battle on the southwest border thousands of miles away. No one knew when he was Returned to Luodu.
The door was knocked open. The person who opened the door was an old servant. He looked at the two people outside the door warily. Although he didn't recognize Sean, he could tell that this man was definitely not an ordinary person and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"This is General Simon's manor, right? Uncle, just say that Sean is here to visit." Sean raised his hand to stop Quinn who wanted to speak, took a step forward, and said with a hearty smile.
"Okay, please wait a moment, you two. I will report to the master right away." The old servant nodded after hearing the words, closed the door, turned around and walked in. He felt that the name Sean seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Where had I heard it before, but the other party directly reported the master's name. He might be a friend of the master when he was in the army, so he couldn't slack off.
"Master, there is a guest calling himself Sean outside looking for you, do you think?" The old servant turned around several courtyards and came to the backyard. He looked at a bearded man in the garden who was turning over the ground with a hoe and said.
"Sean?" The hoe in Simon's hand suddenly stopped, sweat flowing down his strong bronze chest, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Isn't he your friend?" Seeing Simon's look, the old servant asked.
"I don't dare to be friends with him, Crandon, you let everyone go to the backyard. No one is allowed to come to the front yard without my permission." Simon strode out of the garden, holding the hoe in his hand. He casually placed it on a tree branch nearby, took the towel hanging on the tree branch and wiped his sweat, patted the dirt on his trouser legs and shoes, and walked straight out.
"Yes, but sir, do you need some tea?" the old servant responded and asked again.
"People don't look down on the tea we picked ourselves." Simon smiled, but there was a bit of ridicule in his words.
The door creaked open, and Sean, who was looking at a flying griffon carved on the door, smiled and said: "Simon, I didn't expect you to have such skills. This wood carving is really good."
"His Royal Highness the First Prince, you're just a useless veteran who just goes home and carves random things." Simon looked at Sean and said calmly.
"Simon, it seems you still hate me." Sean turned to Simon and looked into his eyes.
"Don't dare, Simon is just an ordinary person, how dare you hate His Highness the First Prince." Simon also looked into Sean's eyes, still calm.
"I don't dare, it's not that I don't hate it. I know that those of you who left the army at the same time all hated me in your hearts. You hated me for not being able to save Alex and avenge him." Sean shook his head. , with a bit of guilt on his face, he sighed and said: "I can't forgive myself for this matter. If I could have gotten the news earlier, if I could have been more alert to the danger, he would not have been trapped in a tight siege. He died of exhaustion."
"The general often said that everyone is mortal." Simon's expression did not change because of Sean's words. He had heard the same words more than once.
"Yes, everyone is mortal, and so are you and me." Sean nodded with emotion, looked at Simon and said with a smile, "Why, aren't Simon going to let me go in and sit down?"
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince wants to sit down, so of course I don't dare to refuse." Simon opened the door completely and stepped aside.
"Although I can't bear to let you veterans leave like this, I have to say that your choice was not a bad one. Only by leaving the border can you have such a leisurely life. Even I am a little envious of you." Sean Looking at the flowers and plants planted in the yard, he said with a smile.
"Maybe." Simon looked at the flowers and plants and clenched his fist.
"It seems that we are the only ones here. The purpose of my visit this time is very simple. I want to ask you something." Sean looked around, turned to look at Simon and said.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, please tell me if you have any questions. If this villain knows, he will naturally tell you everything." Simon's eyes did not dodge at all.
"Where were you that night when that incident happened?" Sean looked into Simon's eyes and asked seriously.
Quinn didn't know when he had stood behind Simon, hiding his hands in his wide sleeves. A cold light flashed slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Simon's back.
"Go home and visit my mother's grave. That day is her death anniversary." Simon replied calmly, but anger rose in his eyes.
Sean's dark brown eyes stared at Simon's eyes, as if he wanted to see something different inside.
"If I had been by the general's side at that time, I could have at least blocked one or two hidden arrows for him. Those shameless guys deserve to die!" Simon clenched his fists suddenly, with a look of pain on his face. He said almost growling, his hands clenching his fists trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.
"Yes, those people deserve to die, and they are all dead." Sean nodded, looked away from Simon, walked towards a hidden room next to him, gently opened the door, and placed There were some completed and semi-finished wood carvings, and there was a pile of untouched wood beside them.
Most of the carvings are of people, knights, magicians, orcs, demons, elves... various different races. They are fighting and attacking each other, and the carvings are lifelike.
Sean's eyes swept over the wooden carvings, and went all the way to the innermost one. He stretched out his hand and gently clasped the largest gryphon carving on the shelf. He smiled and said, "Simon, if His Highness the Third Prince knew If you have such ability, I must like you very much.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is the one who is obsessed with wood carving, and the villain is just playing around." Simon shook his head.
"Interesting, interesting." Sean laughed, turned around and walked towards the door, saying at the same time: "Simon, I thought you were an interesting person before, but now it seems that you are more interesting than I thought. But there’s a saying you have to listen to: Hiding is different from hiding something. If you don’t hide it well, you will die if you are found.”
"I don't understand what His Highness is saying." A strange color flashed in Simon's eyes, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
"It seems that I won't even be able to drink a sip of tea today. So, farewell." Sean left the room without explaining and walked straight to the door. When he reached the door, he stopped for a moment and looked at the sign on the door. A griffon said with a smile: "There seems to be one person missing here."
"Farewell to Your Highness, the eldest prince." Simon stood at the door without saying much. He saluted politely and watched the black carriage go away. Then he turned and entered the door. The door slowly closed. He clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "Everyone is mortal. Yes, but the general also said, but you must not die without knowing..."
"His Royal Highness, are we going back like this?" Quinn drove the carriage and asked back with some confusion.
"Simon's performance has explained everything. He was not a forbearing person three years ago, which shows that he wanted to hide something. There are sculptures in the house, but Alex is missing. If he died, , there will only be him in the room." Sean raised the corner of his mouth, "Next, you just need to keep an eye on him, he is the shortcut to find Alex."
