Chapter 416: 415. Reason
Chapter 416 415. Reason
Like the problems faced by many aristocratic families, people will eventually grow old one day.
Earl Derek Furneck stood out from his siblings and won the title of Earl from his father by relying on his outstanding achievements. He is the new generation leader of the Furneck family and has been sitting in this position for thirty years. Earl Ke failed to add any merit to the Funak family in his life, but he was a very popular earl in Hailansa City. He liked to support young nobles and left some opportunities for meritorious service to young people.
Carl Casement was once favored by the old Earl Fornac, but it was such a kind earl who was killed by a group of robbers who secretly invaded the manor, and then the only one who had the right to inherit was Billy Fornac Ke inherited the title of Earl of Funak, but this seemingly introverted young nobleman did not establish any merits of his own before. According to the decree of the Green Empire, if the heir of the family who has not achieved merits succeeds to the title, the title will be Self-defeating.
Therefore, after Billy Furnac inherited the property of the Furnac family, he became the new Viscount Furnak.
The most incomprehensible thing for everyone is that after the Viscount Billy Furnark took over the Furnark family, he rejected the proposals of other nobles, and instead of avenging the old Earl Furnark, he let the bandit escape. Back in the mountains, people just thought that Viscount Billy Furneck was a coward, a cowardly tortoise who likes to hide in a tortoise shell, but it doesn't look like that now...
Although the old Earl Furneck died at the hands of the bandits, he had a great relationship with Billy Furneck.
The reason for all this is because the old Earl Furnerk found a second spring when Billy Furnerk was about to reach adulthood, and he had his youngest son, Hal Furnerk. Although Earl Ke is already a bit old, he is in good health and has no injuries. If the old Earl of Funac is to die of old age, it will take at least ten or twenty years.
At that time, don’t say that Billy Furnaker has reached middle age, and the youngest son of the old Furnaker, Hal Furnaker, has also grown up.
If this is the case alone, Billy Fnaker has more than ten years of preparation time than his younger brother. Whether it is based on accumulated achievements or order of seniority, Billy Fnaker will be the first heir. When Earl Derek Furnak ascends to the Kingdom of God, he will take over the Furnak family as a matter of course.
But the truth is not so simple. The youngest son of the old earl, Hal Furnek, was born with oculus. This kind of life oculus brought from his mother's womb allows him to see souls from other worlds, and such an eye has With a very strange power, the great priest in the temple of Hailansa City predicted that Hal Fonak would become a very great demon hunter, and that he might become a second-rank powerhouse in the future, and even become a Magister or grand master, he will bring greater glory to the Furnak family.
Old Earl Fornac knew that his youngest son was extremely talented, so of course he had to ask a famous teacher to teach him carefully.
…
But all of this falls in the eyes of the eldest son Billy Furneck. The Furneck family will gain greater glory in the future, but that is not his own glory, and he may not even be able to inherit the property of the Furneck family. , In the end, it is just a knight or baron who owns a small piece of land, which is of course not what he wants.
However, the old Earl Furnark said one thing in the family, and it was impossible for Billy Furnark to prevent the old Earl Furnark from raising his youngest son.
When he realized one day that the old Earl Funak had died and all his property would be left to his younger brother Funak Jr., and he would become a fringe man waiting to die, Billy Funak began to fall into extreme panic and panic. In the midst of giving up on himself, he shut himself in the room all day long, and he didn't want to contact outsiders at all. He felt that everyone looked at him and Hal with two completely different eyes.
Until one day, two black magicians came to find Billy Furnak, and they spoke every word to the heart of Billy Furnak, and they said that they would wait until Hal Furnak mastered Fu If the Ke family, Billy Fnaker will be kicked out, maybe at that time Billy Fnaker will have nothing. It will be like some down-and-out nobles in Hailansa City. In order to maintain their dignity as nobles, they will work hard like ordinary people every day, or guard a shop until they die of old age.
The only way in front of Billy Funak is to cooperate with the devil and dedicate a little bit of his soul,
These two black magicians happen to be Mrs. Margaret and Marion Grenfell, the president of the Black Magic Retreat branch in High Lansa City. Of course, they are not just for the development of members of the Black Magic Retreat. They tried their best to help Billy Funaker. Their goal was actually Hal Funaker, a child born with eye magic lines. A very rare medium, Hal Funak's body is a very rare bridge, which can connect the Roland continent and the **** realm where the devil lives.
The black magicians of the Black Magic Retreat have a common belief. They have been concentrating on studying the knowledge about demons. In order to gain more powerful power, they study black magic and blood rituals to try to summon the demon minions in hell.
Hal Funaker came into the sight of these black magicians, and they began to search for a good chance to get Hal Funaker, and finally one day they found Billy, the eldest son of the Funaker family. Furnak would be a good breakthrough, so they began to approach Billy Furnak in a premeditated manner. In fact, the goal they chose this time was extremely correct.
Soon, under the cooperation of Billy Fnacle, they succeeded in killing Earl Fonak, and succeeded in letting Billy Fonak inherit all the property of the Fonak family. As a price, Billy Fonak Knack dedicated his younger brother Hal Fornak to the Priory of the Dark Arts.
…
Of course, the matter did not end here.
Although Earl Derek Furneck was killed by the bandit group, he found some clues during the battle. The family must have an accomplice of the bandit group as internal support, so he let himself take a vacation in the manor, but all the knights around him He had something to leave, and took advantage of this gap to rush into the manor with empty defenses. He was worried that those robbers would also kill his two sons, so before he died, there was a fire of revenge in his heart.
When Earl Fornak was young, he participated in the war against the undead by the allied forces of human and beasts in the Forest of Death. During the mission, he once killed a young Lich. Earl Fornak was very lucky. He obtained a Blood Stone from that Lich.
This blood stone was not turned over to the military as a trophy to exchange for merit, but was kept by the Earl of Funak.
Although Earl Fornak was killed by the bandits this time, his soul was not imprisoned. At that time, a revolving staircase and a gate to the Kingdom of God appeared on his soul, perhaps a reflection of the events he had participated in when he was young. As a reward for fighting against the undead war, he has the qualifications to enter the Kingdom of God, but Earl Funak cared about his two sons, and resolutely let his soul reside in the blood stone.
If it is a powerful soul, Earl Furnak will become a newly promoted powerful Lich, but Earl Furnak is not friendly to the undead. Although he has an extremely precious blood stone, he has only become a He is a high-level ghost, and has retained most of his memory and mind. In order to be able to take care of his two sons, the Earl of Funak hid the blood stone representing his own life under the Funak Manor, and he merged with the manor. as one.
The scene that Earl Funak saw afterwards raised his resentment to the peak, because he actually saw that his eldest son, Billy Funak, was the main planner of the robber group's attack on the manor, and At the critical moment when he was fused with the Blood Stone, he saw his youngest son tortured to death by several magicians from the Black Magic Priory. Those six magicians were still in the basement of the manor, using Hal Fonac His blood drew a **** magic circle to summon the son of sin in the sinful realm of the flame hell.
They locked Hal Funak Jr. in an iron cage next to the experiment table, and it wasn't until the old Earl Funak successfully fused with the Blood Stone that he had the power to deal with the black magicians. The Blood Stone was not destroyed, and Earl Fornak himself seemed to have an immortal body. Unfortunately, he could not save his youngest son from the black magician of the Black Magic Priory, even because he always used the ghost Earl Furnak was in contact with Hal Furnak as his identity. When his younger son was tortured to death, Earl Furnak saw his youngest son transform into an unconscious evil spirit with his own eyes.
It wasn't until the robbers in the Funak Manor were discovered and cleaned up by the knights of the guard battalion that the black magicians worried that their whereabouts would be exposed and attract those magicians from the law enforcement group like mad dogs. Abandoned Fornac Estate.
So far, the old Earl Furneck and Hal Furneck have become the real owners of this ruined manor.
After all, it is the only bloodline inheritance of the Furnak family, and the old Furnak did not kill the eldest son Billy Funak, and Billy Funak also knew it well and hid in his home in Hailansa City , would not go out easily, and he also hired a night watchman to guard the Fornak Manor.
…
After listening to the long story told by the old Earl Furneck, Karl's mood became a little uncomfortable, but he still suppressed Viscount Billy Furneck's anger and asked the old earl: " Uncle Funak, how did those night watchmen die?"
Old Fornak sighed softly, looked helplessly at his younger son who had regained his composure, and said, "They all died of greed."
It seemed that it should have been killed by Hal Fornaker, but Karl did not continue the discussion on this topic, he just said sadly: "I attended your funeral before, I thought you were dead, I mean the kind of...literally dying."
"What's the difference between me being like this and being dead?" The old Earl Funak said with a wry smile, "I'm hiding in the manor. Apart from wanting revenge, I just hope that one day I can take him away with me. I failed to give him the best care when I was alive, and I don’t want him to become a tool of the devil when he is dead. I have been trying to find a way to take him out of here..."
