Chapter 609 Alienation(1/2)
"How many gold coins did she owe you?"
A light voice came from a distance, instantly attracting the attention of the two people in front of him.
In front of you, following the sound, the two turned around and looked at it, and then they were stunned.
On the white floor, a man stood there gently, wearing a robe all over his body, and the sword on his waist looked very gorgeous and conspicuous.
The young man is tall and handsome, and his temperament is pure and holy. He looks at each other lightly at this moment, carrying an indescribable noble temperament.
He stood there, his long hair shining slightly under the sunlight, and his skin stretched out from his sleeves did not look like a knight who was training hard day and night, but rather like a noble scholar sitting upright at home and reviewing books day and night.
This inexplicable demeanor and suffocating temperament made the two present dare not look down on each other, and suddenly attracted their attention.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Adier who had walked in front of him, the middle-aged man who had previously looked gloomy and said loudly as he was collecting debts, and he asked cautiously.
He is in the royal capital, with nobles everywhere, and has survived in this city for a long time. The middle-aged man in front of him naturally developed a good eye and understood what kind of people cannot be easily provoked.
Although the boy in front of him was not old, his demeanor was extremely extraordinary, and there was a quiet and calm temperament between his eyebrows, as if no one could move him at all.
Such a demeanor is definitely not something that ordinary nobles can offer, either unique in themselves or they are born among those top nobles.
However, beside him, the moment he saw Adier, the woman named Qianlimu was stunned, and the light in her eyes was circulating, as if she was a little excited.
"Yasu, the people of the Bakuru family."
He raised his head gently and turned to look at the girl. Atir said casually, then threw out a purse and landed it accurately on the middle-aged man's hands under the slightest control of his mental power: "There are five hundred gold coins here, is it enough?"
"This..." Holding the purse in his hand, he opened it, and after confirming the amount of coins in it, he looked at Adier in front of him, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'm afraid it's not enough..."
"Hmm?" Atir was stunned. This time he was really surprised.
In this world, the purchasing power of a gold coin is already quite large. Under normal circumstances, the annual expenses of a nobleman may be between one or two gold coins.
Five hundred gold coins, even for a noble family like the Bakuru family, which has a long inheritance, is not enough to pay off the debt?
How could the Bakuru family owe so much money?
"Please forgive me." Notice the surprised gaze on Adier's face, the middle-aged man showed a wry smile: "About two months ago, Sir Shim took eight hundred gold coins from our chamber of commerce with the Bakuru family's several stations in Tam, but recently, we found that those stations had been sold to others long ago..."
He smiled bitterly on his face, feeling very frustrated by this incident.
Listening to this, Atir had no expression on his face, but just frowned secretly.
Sir Shim, this is the eldest son of the Bakuru family, that is, the elder brother of the body of Atir, and the future successor of the Bakuru family.
"In just a few months, even the family's residence has to be mortgaged. What is it about..."
Frowning, Adier turned around: "Tomorrow, go to the South Street Manor to find me and bring all the certificates that were originally mortgaged."
As he spoke, he glanced at the other person gently.
In an instant, a fierce murderous aura that slaughters countless lives and kills endless creatures, like a butcher, surges away in an instant, and directly pours into the depths of the other party's mind, causing the other party's entire body to tremble directly. He only feels a cool air falling from the sky, making his whole body cool directly.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had a strong premonition in his heart. As long as he dared to say "no" in front of him, he would immediately corpse on the spot and turn into a pile of cold flesh and blood.
Suddenly, his heart was chilling. He looked at Adier in front of him, suppressed the fear in his heart and did not kneel down. He didn't even dare to say a word and left directly, as terrifying as if the legendary abyss of hell in front of him.
“Yasu…”
After the man left, the woman who had been standing beside him before and looked at Adier timidly before speaking, looking a little unsure.
"It's me." Hearing the woman's voice, Adier came to his senses, and his expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and there was no trace of change at all.
"It's really you." Looking at Adier, Xilimu's eyes were a little disbelief, a little surprise, and a little joy from the bottom of his heart: "Are you okay?"
"Half a year ago, I heard that you were lost on the battlefield and thought I could never see you anymore. Fortunately, fortunately, the God of Darkness still protects us, so you're fine."
She walked forward, grabbed Atir's hand tightly, and her face flushed.
This enthusiastic attitude and passionate emotions made Adier feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
If it were in line with relationships, the person in front of him should be his cousin with his body, and he is also a member of the Bakuru family, but the relationship is farther.
In the past, because of the dullness and taciturnity of this body, there were not many friends with good relationships among the clan, and the girl in front of him was one of them.
"How is the situation in the clan?" He sent the man away just now, followed Qianlimu beside him, Adier walked into the somewhat broken manor in front of him, looked at her and asked.
"The situation in the clan is a little bad." Listening to Adier's words, Sirimu sighed softly, and then spoke to some of the things the Bakuru family has experienced over the past two years.
Since the fall of the Southern Fortress, the Bakuru family's territory has fallen. Even the contemporary head of the Bakuru family, Baron Doru, died on the battlefield in the south, and the body has not been found yet.
After Baron Doru's death, the Bakuru family members moved north with the migration of a large number of nobles and were moved to Tam City.
"With the preparations made by the family in the past, even if they are not as powerful as in the past after coming to Tam, they should not have fallen to this point, right?" Listening to Silimu's statement, Adier was a little confused.
After all, the Bakuru family is a nobleman who has been passed down for many years. Even if the territory is lost, the entire family will inevitably fall into decline, but the foundation left behind will not completely disappear for a while.
How could the Bakuru family’s preparations and the connections left behind be reduced to the point where they needed to mortgage their resident?
"It's Master Shim..." Xilimu smiled bitterly: "Since we came to Tam, Master Shim has become a different person. He has been hiding in various casinos and having fun all day. Over time, almost all the gold coins we brought were lost by Master Shim..."
"No one can persuade Mr. Shim, but he thought that the young master would stop after he had completely dumped the gold coins he had brought before, but he didn't expect it..."
She smiled bitterly on her face, and a little disappointed in her eyes, and she seemed to be completely disappointed with Himli.
"Luckily, Master Yasuo, you are back too." Then, she looked at Adier, who had a tall figure and a different temperament from the past, and couldn't help but speak, "But, Master, you have changed a lot. I almost recognized you before."
"Whoever crawled out of a pile of corpses will definitely change a lot."
Atir raised his head gently, and at this moment, his steps suddenly stopped and looked at a certain corner.
At that moment, a thick wall was quietly standing there, with a little black and red blood on it, which looked completely dry.
"What is that?"
Looking at the bloodstain, Atir stood there and asked softly.
"It was left by Mr. Shim before." Xilimu sighed softly: "When I first arrived at the capital, Mr. Shim looked very unstable. He drank outside every night and did not come back until late at night."
"The blood stains there were left by Master Shim accidentally when he came back from outside when he got drunk one night."
"Is that right?" Atir asked softly, and a little inexplicable look deep in his eyes.
The moment he saw the blood, his essence and will that were once level 5 made him keenly realize something inappropriate at this moment.
"Not a human..." he murmured to himself, and at this moment he keenly discovered something.
"What?" Qianlimu asked in confusion when he didn't hear Adi's words clearly.
"Nothing." Atir shook his head, looked at the bloodstain, and then asked after a long time, "Where is Shim?"
"I don't know." When the girl mentioned this name, her face suddenly became dim: "Maybe she is still drinking a bar outside."
Atir nodded and did not ask again.
After a while, he roughly took a walk around the manor in front of him, and Adier refused Qianlimu's advice and left the place directly.
Not long after, his figure appeared again.
He raised his head gently and looked at the slowly dim sky around him. Atir walked aside casually, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
With Adier's current strength, even if he does not deliberately conceal and is just a mental instinctive shield, it can make it impossible to directly observe his existence. Even if he is standing there, his vision will automatically ignore it and treat it as a background board.
Now that he takes the initiative to cover up, with Adier's current strength, it is extremely difficult to be discovered unless a real golden knight comes.
He was just waiting there quietly, waiting for the target to appear this time.
Time passes quietly, as dusk passes, night gradually appears, a bright moon shines everywhere, spreading light from all directions on the earth, as if it is covered with a layer of faint silver.
While Adier's waiting, a figure gradually appeared on the distant earth.
He was a young man who looked pretty young, with a handsome appearance, but his face looked a little pale.
He was wearing a black suit and a long sword that looked a bit ragged on his waist. He looked very decadent. Even though he was tall, he felt depressed.
Under the darkness, the young man walked and turned toward the manor where the Bakuru family was located. His whole steps seemed empty and powerless, and the shadows pulled the elders under the illumination of the thin moonlight.
Feeling the arrival of this man, Atir slowly opened his eyes and his eyes slowly focused on the young man.
The person in front of him was indeed Shim, who was his brother with his body.
But compared to the past, at this moment, Adier clearly felt an incongruity on the person far away.
It was a vague premonition, which came from Adier's original will.
The young man in the distance was indeed his brother in body, but the other person's body, spirit, and even the depths of his soul, exuded an incongruous meaning at all times.
It may not be noticed by ordinary people, but it is very obvious in Atir's eyes.
Moreover, from the bloodstains left in the manor before, Atir clearly felt something.
In the distance, under the gaze of Atir, Shim slowly walked into the manor, and with the help of several old servants, he slowly walked into his room.
During this process, Atir also followed in, stood at the door of Shim's room, quietly watching him fall into a deep sleep.
On the big bed in the room, Shim looked pale and smelled of alcohol all over his body. He seemed to be sleeping heavily, and there was no sign of waking up.
Standing outside the room quietly, looking at his current appearance, Atir also frowned.
In his senses, at this moment, Shim exuded an ominous meaning all over his body, and his whole body looked like a corpse, cold and pale.
And inside his body, there seemed to be an ominous force brewing in his body and gradually growing.
To be continued...
