It’s even possible…

The scene that is happening here now has actually happened in reality.

The heart-shaped Bitpara tree is the trace left by Xilin's lover in this world.

The purpose is to honor a dead love.

In other words, the current time point is at least before Ms. Xilin's death.

Louis thought so and left the room.

He had not been wandering around for long when he heard a sound in a study.

He walked straight through the gate and took a look inside.

A butler was standing next to the young man and said, "Sir, your fiancée, Miss Celine Rhinehart, is here to see you."

The young man at the desk paused for a moment, raised his head and said, "What did you say?"

Louis suddenly realized.

This time point, this name.

It looked like it was the time when Ms. Xilin just came to see her fiancé.

"Martin, isn't there still a year until the wedding?"

Butler Martin said: "Yes, but..."

He raised his head and said seriously, "Since the young lady has taken the trouble to come here, I think it would be better for you to go and meet her."

The young man pinched his brows with a headache and said, "How rude! Even if we have an engagement, she can't just come to my house without informing me in advance, right?"

"And it happens to be the beginning of winter, the busiest time for monster invasions."

"The family also needs to store food for the winter in the territory. The situation in Byron Territory is very serious this year. Shouldn't she learn about it first?"

Louis looked out the window at the heavy snow.

Winters in the north are inherently cold.

The heavy snow outside the window can really kill people.

But after saying this, Louis frowned subconsciously.

Judging from what the young man said, he should be the ruler of Byron Territory? Thinking about it, it made sense. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong before.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the problem lies in the area of ​​Ms. Xilin’s former residence.

This area is really too large.

Although in the entire Enther Empire, it is definitely not as good as those duchies and wealthy marquises.

But considering the characteristics of Byron Territory, the area of ​​this former residence is not at all the size that an ordinary noble should have.

At the very least, it has to be the rotating city lord's mansion, or the local powerful nobles.

The lands granted by the Enther Empire are somewhat different from the noble territories in the West in the previous life.

Although nominal ownership of the land was granted to the feudal nobility, the jurisdiction of the land remained in the hands of the royal family.

Therefore, the actual controllers of Byron Territory are actually divided into two parts.

The first part is the feudal nobility.

The second part is the rotating nobles who were sent to govern the City Lord’s Mansion.

Being able to live in such a big castle, Ms. Celine's husband is at least ranked among the top three candidates in the Lord of Byron.

While he was thinking this, he had already stopped at the door of the reception room. He whispered to the butler: "Is it too late for me to regret the engagement now?"

Before the butler could answer, the door to the hall was pushed open.

A young girl in her prime said with a smile: "Of course no problem."

Louis slapped him on the forehead.

Good job.

Is it so exciting for Ms. Xilin to meet her husband again? The young man was also shocked by what the girl said:

"What did you say?"

Xilin said softly:

"I said, I can cancel the engagement with you."

"But... in exchange, I would like to live in your territory for 10 months."

Louis was stunned.

Lady Xilin's husband is the Lord of Byron Territory? How is this possible?

The lords of each territory were all recorded within the royal family.

According to the size of Byron Territory, the lord who owns the territory must be a marquis.

This is already the highest position among the highest in the imperial aristocracy ladder.

He is one of the less than 20 great nobles in the country.

But the problem was, according to what he had learned before, Ms. Xilin's husband was a nobleman who was not well known to anyone.

It is more of a backdrop in the life of this rare genius who appears once in a millennium.

Most people assumed that he was a lower-level noble, or even a wild noble who had lost even his territory.

In the relevant reports, I have never heard that Ms. Xilin's husband is such a big shot.

This is not right.

Something is wrong.

This only shows one thing: the news about young people is being artificially controlled.

The only people who can do this are the royal family.

At this moment, the young man seemed to be stunned by Xilin's words:

"Ma'am, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy." Xilin winked coquettishly, "Also, I don't necessarily have to live in the lord's mansion. I can just find a house in the territory, even if it's in a corner."

She took out a piece of paper from her bag in a panic and said, "I also brought an agreement to dissolve the marriage. Please take a look."

The young man glanced at Xilin a few more times and said:

"Has the Earl's Mansion encountered any difficulties recently?"

Xilin showed a puzzled expression.

The young man said, "Looking at your current attire, you don't look like a daughter of an earl. Where are your other luggage?"

Xilin said blankly:

"Ah, it's not what you think... I'm afraid of going out alone and encountering something unexpected on the road to Byron, so I'm dressed like this."

The young man's expression was already painful: "You're going on a long journey without even taking anyone with you? You're not a professional, aren't you afraid of something happening on the way?"

The girl giggled.

The young man slapped his head and said:

"Tell me first, when did you start your journey?"

"Two months ago."

"Two months ago?"

The young man almost screamed: "Don't tell me you didn't even take the teleportation array!"

"Couldn't you have contacted me in advance?"

"No, compared to this matter, why would you come all the way to my territory by yourself?"

The girl smiled brightly: "Maybe it's because this may be the first and last time I run away from home in my life."

"I want to come to Byron Territory to see the flowers that bloom here in winter."

She said carefully, "So, can I live here?"

"What would you do if I said no?"

"Then I might find some local business groups that can do odd jobs and try to make some money."

The young man pinched his nose and had a "so stupid" expression on his face.

"But I know you won't refuse me." The girl snorted and said, "I can see that you hate me, so the divorce agreement is my biggest bargaining chip."

"Well, you... come in first."

The young man did not deny it and turned around to lead the way for the girl.

The girl said softly:

"Don't worry, I won't disturb you."

"Also, if I disappear one day, just treat me as if I have left here."

The young man was a little confused, but still said to Martin:

"Martin, prepare a room for the young lady."

Louis followed Ms. Celine forward, and soon, a large enough guest room was prepared in the castle.

"It sounds annoying, but the preparation is quite thorough."

Louis sighed.

He is quite leisurely.

Watching this scene, I vaguely felt the pleasure of watching "Chasing Wife to the Crematorium".

Is this the happiness of women? But as soon as Ms. Xilin entered the room and closed the door, she stumbled and fell to the ground and began to retch.

Louis knew that this was a typical symptom of genius.

Due to lack of vitality, the whole body is irreversibly rushing towards exhaustion.

The first to fail are the human body's organs.

Then the limbs.

Of course, most people cannot help but commit suicide before their organs fail.

Xilin looked at the birds flying outside the window and murmured, "I wish I had wings too."

The scene blurred.

The surrounding scenes are speeding up, as if time is accelerating.

When the acceleration ended, Louis walked around the room again.

It was already dark by then.

He saw Celine walking down the corridor with a lantern.

She looked much weaker than before, wrapped in a blanket, and seemed to be searching for something.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the corner, and Xilin took a step back like a frightened cat.

A male voice came over: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and standing in the corridor?"

The person who spoke was the Young Lord.

"Um..." Xilin glanced at him secretly, "Why are you here?"

The young man scratched his head.

Louis knew at a glance that the young man was worried that something might happen to the girl.

However, as a teenager, Ms. Xilin seemed unable to see through people's hearts.

The young man made up an excuse and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the temperature control array of the house. I came out to relax and fix it."

Ms. Celine took a small step back.

The young man looked at the girl holding the lantern with a question mark on his face and said:

"Miss, are you hiding something?"

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Louis slapped his head.

bad.

The guy on the other side is also not very worldly-wise.

With such a stiff tone, it is impossible to speak out even if there is a problem.

Sure enough, Xilin said softly: "I'm fine..."

Fortunately, the young man was not a fool and directly grabbed the girl's wrist.

He picked up the light and looked at her.

Rapid breathing.

Red cheeks.

There was an obvious tremor in his voice.

"Fever?"

Xilin said, "It's okay. I'll just take a short rest."

The young man snorted and said:

"When I knew it took you two months to get to my territory, I couldn't expect anything from you."

"Since we haven't broken off our engagement yet, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me immediately."

"Only a fool would think of enduring forever."

Xilin's little head showed a big look of confusion.

The young man tapped her head with his finger and said, "In Byron Territory's war against the monster invasion, do you know what caused the highest death toll?"

"He didn't die at the claws of the monster, but he didn't report his injuries in time, which eventually led to his injuries getting worse and he was unable to recover."

"If you don't want things to get worse, just speak up about your problem."

"Then, admit your mistakes honestly."

Xilin said innocently: "I'm sorry, I'm wrong... Wait, I'll just go out for a walk."

The young man held up two fingers and said, "What's this?"

Ms. Xilin looked at her overlapping fingers, hesitated and said, "It's 3."

youth:……

Xilin looked confident, she must have guessed right.

The young man reached out and picked up Xilin. "My fiancée is really giving me trouble. There's a problem with the heating in this area. It's not suitable for a patient like you to live in. Go to my place first."

"ah?"

"What are you looking at? I'll just find a place to sleep and ask the maid to take care of you later."

"But……"

The young man snorted and said, "I could tell you didn't like me at the engagement party, but please don't imagine me to be a vicious person."

"I am not so tasteless as to leave a delicate lady alone."

Xilin lowered her head and said, "Okay, but please don't call a doctor."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Please don't call the doctor."

Louis watched the young man holding Xilin and walking further and further away.

A common problem among genius patients is that they hide their condition.

He already knew this when he learned about Ms. Xilin's past.

A young man's voice came from the darkness: "Sleep well tonight."

"Sir, then we have an appointment..."

The normal time began to speed up again.

When everything calmed down, Louis continued to search in the castle.

But he didn't see the young man or Xilin.

Finally he looked outside the castle.

Outside the castle, there were lights and decorations, as if they were celebrating something.

He thought for a moment, spread his dragon wings, and flew over there.

Not long after, he saw two people shopping in the market outside the castle.

Xilin was wrapped so tightly that she looked almost like a dumpling.

She said to the young man in wizard robes, "Will there be enough food in Byron Territory during the winter?"

"There won't be enough rice or flour, but there will be a lot more meat."

The girl gave me a curious look.

Seeing that he couldn't hide his thoughts, the young man said directly: "It's not that we eat meat to nourish our bodies in order to defeat monsters, but after defeating monsters in winter, we cut off the edible meat and use it as reserve food."

"How do you think Byron County will get enough food to sustain itself for three months in the winter when it is closed off from monsters?"

The young man glanced at her quietly, coughed and said:

"With the rapid increase in the number of monsters subjugated, there will be a lot more monster-related crafts. Do you... want anything?"

Louis was flying in the air, looking at the fool and the tsundere, not knowing what to say.

Didn't you know that Tsundere has withdrawn from the market? Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky.

Everyone at the celebration turned their eyes to the pale city wall in the distance.

"Xilin, stay here for a while. It seems that there are monsters attacking the city. I want to go check it out."

A huge bone spear suddenly appeared in front of the young man. He stepped on it, and the bone spear was launched and carried him to the horizon.

Louis was shocked.

Fuck.

Is the sword-wielding technique in the Western fantasy version so barbaric?

He flapped his wings and flew straight up.

On the huge wall that appeared in "Snow Country Border", the young man jumped down and said to the soldiers stationed there:

"Has the support arrived?"

"Sir, it will take some time."

"What's the situation now?"

"The advance team is confronting the monsters."

Louis looked down at the battlefield.

A group of soldiers in armor are confronting monsters.

One of the monsters instantly attracted his attention.

It was a huge monster with a body length of more than 20 meters.

He recognized it at once.

Challenge level LV14, Minotaur Chieftain.

"Everyone maintain a defensive stance!"

“Don’t back down.”

Soon the battlefield below became a mess.
