Apparently, Effie and Jordan had also heard that Dexin was going to study abroad for a few years, and they both agreed to Dexin's invitation.
This was not the first time for the three of them to play the adventure game, so they were well prepared. After they met at the Dexin family's castle, they set off again in a carriage to the abandoned mine they were going to explore.
After the three people's carriage disappeared, several middle-aged men followed the wheel tracks and left. The Baroness's eyes followed the men's figures as they walked away.
The Baron was reviewing documents in his study when Butler Terry came in and reported the situation to the Baron in a low voice.
The baron's face turned pale. This woman was the woman he loved! In order to get her into the family, his family almost took away his baron title. However, this woman only cared about her family and her own interests!
"What should I do now?"
The baron forced himself to calm down and said slowly
"Let Lina get sick! Don't harm her life."
"Young Master..."
"Arrange for someone to follow. Don't take action until the very last moment. Just treat it as a test for Dexin."
Butler Terry retreated.
The Baron was no longer in the mood to work. He walked to the window, looked at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, and fell silent.
After a day's journey, Dexin and his companions arrived at an abandoned mine. They left the carriage and entered the mine. The carriage then returned to the nearest town and stopped.
Soon, several strong men followed into the mine. Behind them, a young man looked at them coldly and also entered the mine.
To be honest, Herlin really had no interest in such adventure games, but he couldn't show it and had to appear very interested.
As they were almost at their destination, Herlin was thinking about how to escape when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
The three of them quickly extinguished the torches and hid immediately.
Several strong men came in with torches
"This is the torch they extinguished. They are hiding. They must not be too far away to find them."
Dexin looked at this scene and smiled.
This stepmother is really a god-like helper. Just when I was thinking about how to separate the two of them, the killer sent by the stepmother arrived.
"Who are these people and why are they looking for us?" Effie asked trembling with fear.
"I don't know, maybe they are robbers!" It was also the first time for Jordan to face such a dangerous situation.
"They should be looking for me. I will lead them away, you hide, and then escape. Remember, once you are safe, it is time to save me."
Ignore the two friends who were moved to tears.
He Lin left his hiding place and moved away for a distance before making any noise.
"There..."
"Chase……"
After the assassins left with Dexin, Jordan and Effie left the mine. However, Jordan and Effie didn't feel lucky to have survived. They frantically ran to the nearest town, looking for their carriage and the accompanying escort.
They want to save Dexin, their best friend.
After walking for a distance, Dexin did not run away anymore, but pretended that he could not run anymore and waited breathlessly for the arrival of the killers.
"Who are you and why do you want to kill me?"
"Are you Dexin Slank?"
"Yes, who are you? Are you Mother's people?"
"You don't need to know."
"Let me be a clear-headed ghost."
"You already understand it in your heart, do it."
"Ah—what kind of monster are you? Ah—"
After a few screams, all the killers were killed.
Dexin turned back into an ordinary human being and began to wander around looking for a way out. The young man followed him for a while and then left?
Only then did Herling stop performing.
"That person should be the protector sent by father."
Herlin knew that he didn't have much time left. Soon, Effie and Jordan would send people to look for him. So, he quickly found the vampire bat and began to cast witchcraft. With the powerful modeling function of the consciousness chip, he completed the most important bloodline soul fusion in bloodline witchcraft without any accident.
The soul of the vampire bat, along with the blood witchcraft, entered the spiritual space and became the core of this blood witchcraft.
Similar to a totem crystal ball, but different. Aside from the bat soul, the rest of this witchcraft crystal ball is incomplete. It requires slowly, repeatedly applying bloodline witchcraft to expand the bloodline before it can be completed.
Because the casting of this witchcraft requires about one liter of blood, when Dexin was found, his face was a little pale.
After everyone called a doctor for a check-up, he said there was nothing wrong with his body, and everyone felt relieved.
This expedition had to be stopped because of the killer. The three of them rested in the small town for one night and started their return journey early the next morning.
There was some silence on the way. Jordan tried to say something several times, but the words were always on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back. Effie looked at Herlin with a lot of complicated emotions, but she didn't say anything either.
Arriving at the Dessin family's castle, when the three of them parted ways, Jordan said thank you! Then he got in the carriage and left early. Effie came forward and said to be careful, then got in the carriage and left.
Although Herlin didn't understand much about these things, he was not an idiot. Moreover, he had a consciousness chip, so he knew that this incident might become an opportunity for something else.
Shaking his head, Herlin ignored it. He returned to his room, showered, and then went to his father's study. He had to act it out.
The baron looked very unhappy, but when he saw Herling coming, he smiled and said
"This time, we did a good job."
"Father, you know..."
"I was negligent in the previous incident of poisoning, which led to it happening. Now that I'm on guard, nothing can escape my sight."
"Father, mother...I..."
"You're right. When it's time to fight back, you should do so decisively. But why didn't you start fighting back until recently? Your personality is really..."
"Father, she is after all...your wife, my mother."
"Okay, this matter has passed. She won't appear again. Don't worry."
"Thank you, father. My brother probably didn't know about it, so please don't blame him."
After Herling left, the Baron was silent for a long time and then smiled.
Butler Terry came in at this moment and found the Baron's smile very strange, a mixture of relief, bitterness, helplessness and heartache.
"Terry, we are old, the children have grown up and have their own ideas, and I am no longer able to cope with it."
"Master, you are only forty years old, you are still young."
"In five to ten years, I will pass the title to Dexin and return to the Ultra Empire to live, okay?"
"Master, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
"Nothing, just some emotion."
But Butler Terry, who knew the Baron well, understood that the Baron had already made up his mind. He just didn't know what Master Dexin had said to the master in the study that made the master want to abdicate and retire early.
