Headshot Wizard - Chapter 386

Chapter 386

Not far to the east of Shoufeng Town, in the Apple Manor.

In an open land, a middle-aged man wearing the most common training uniform, holding a training sword, is meticulously practicing swordsmanship.

If someone who knows how to stand here, you can see that he is practicing an extremely exquisite swordsmanship-spirit fox swordsmanship, which is also quite well-known in the Hussar Kingdom.

The morning sun gradually rose, illuminating every corner of the manor.

However, except for the middle-aged man who was practicing swordsman, the rest of the manor was not angry at all.

The servants were doing their own things lazily, and the maids were absent-minded.

Viscount Lane finished practicing swordsmanship once and secretly watched all the sentient beings in the manor, he couldn’t help sighing in his heart.

This apple manor was originally just a small manor he used when he was on vacation in Shoufeng Town. He never thought of staying here in his life.

“Unexpectedly, because of the invasion of the Sea Clan, I actually fell to this point.”

Viscount’s heart was gloomy, and after practicing swordsmanship again, those sad thoughts surged up like a tide.

“Griffin is probably locked in the castle’s dungeon now. Damn Longbottom! With the backing of the northern nobles, he forcibly married her Royal Highness and controlled the royal family’s military power.”

“My territory has been fully confiscated by him. Although nominally he will redistribute a territory to me in the interior of the kingdom, he does not allow these people who voluntarily follow me to leave this territory. Without the people, even if there are new ones, Territory, what shall I use to reclaim it?”

“Yesterday, Terry reported that the money in the manor can only last for three months. Although the expenses have been continuously reduced, and the number of servants and maids has been reduced, it is still not enough. If it goes down, I will be dignified. How should the dignity of the Viscount be maintained?”

“Damn sea clan! Damn Longbottom!”

The Viscount was upset when he thought of these things.

However, what worries him most is Griffin’s experience.

This eldest son is very much like him in all aspects. He stepped into the realm of the Golden Swordsman at a young age, igniting the fire of life, and his fighting ability is extremely powerful.

Even Longbottom Jr., the son of Longbottom’s ex-wife, the so-called genius who had been piled up with various resources by his father since childhood, could only tie Griffin in a one-on-one battle.

But in front of the royal guard, Griffin can only catch it with his hands. Although the crime has not yet been convicted, based on Longbottom’s attitude towards him, I am afraid that this matter cannot be done right.

“He really wants to drive me out of here, to the end!”

Viscount Lane held the sword in his hand fiercely, a murderous intent appeared in his heart.

On the small road leading to Shoufeng Town in the distance, a figure suddenly ran over.

The Viscount narrowed his eyes. It was the old butler who had been carrying a child by his side. This child is very clever, and the old housekeeper has always wanted to cultivate him.

“The old butler went out to buy things, is there any trouble?”

The Viscount had a clear mind, knowing that if nothing happened, the child would not come back alone.

His heart sank and he immediately greeted him with strides.

“Little John, what’s the matter?”

The skinny John ran out of breath, and when he saw the Viscount, he immediately stopped, held his breath, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Viscount’s face sank, knowing that someone was deliberately looking for fault!

He was in the town of Shoufeng, and he was almost unable to get along. The Prince Longbottom was really cruel, and he insisted on constantly provoking himself and forcing himself to confront him head-on.

This time Longbottom came to the west coast, but in the name of resisting the sea clan.

If Viscount Lane disobeyed, he would not be able to stand up in reason. Even with the support of nobles from other realms, Longbottom would take the cruelest means to treat himself and his family.

But just sitting and waiting for death is obviously not the answer.

The Viscount groaned slightly, and said to Little John: “You go to Poirot, let him take six people, and go to Shoufeng Town with me.”

Little John nodded and ran to the manor immediately.

Not long after, a small group of people gathered at the door of Apple Manor. Poirot is the leader of the seven, and this young man has always been loyal to the Lane family.

After the big changes, the Lane family lost even the castle territory, and the original captain of the castle guard Ola had left, but the young man always followed Viscount Lane.

“My lord, what can I do for us? Is it Master Griffin?” Poirot looked serious. Although he was only a soldier, he still knew something about these things in the manor.

The Viscount suddenly summoned the soldiers, and he would inevitably make him guess whether it was because of Master Griffin.

Viscount Lane shook his head: “The old butler was framed in Shoufeng Town. Let’s go there.”

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately showed an angry and aggrieved look.

Once upon a time, Shoufeng Town was their territory, and the old butler had a high position in the territory. How could anyone dare to frame him?

Now that the situation has changed rapidly, and the situation has become so embarrassing, even these soldiers can’t help but feel sigh.

The Viscount himself quickly put on a suit of armor and was about to go to Shoufeng Town.

Who knew that at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the small road far away.

One of the figures is more rickety, and everyone is familiar enough, it is the old housekeeper who goes out to buy in the morning.

The other one was a man in black robes.

“Huh? Why did the old butler come back?”

Poirot asked in surprise.

Little John was also blank.

The old butler walked back quickly, still carrying the purchased things in his hand, and it seemed that he had not suffered any loss.

However, the more so, the doubts in the Viscount’s heart grew stronger.

Before he could ask, the old butler already shouted loudly:

“Master, master is back!”

…

Master?

Everyone was taken aback, Master Griffin came back from the dungeon in the castle?

That little Longbottom didn’t preach aggressively that he must be good-looking, how could he be released like this.

Everyone looked at the left and right of the old housekeeper, but did not find Griffin.

Although the black-robed man was tall and tall, compared with Griffin, he was not of the same type at all.

Only after Viscount Lane was at a loss, suddenly thought of a possibility.

The black-robed man and the old housekeeper gradually came to the gate of the manor.

Lance took off his cloak and mask, and said softly:

“My father, I’m back.”

…

The young master is back. But it was not Master Griffin, but Master Lance.

This answer is something that no one thought of.

The soldiers stood there in a daze. In two years, the name Lance was almost forgotten by everyone.

Only those boring long-tongued women would occasionally mention that Viscount Lane had two sons. The second son Lance went out to study and never returned.

Over the years, the soldiers of the castle have also changed several batches. Apart from the Viscount and the old butler, the only acquaintances standing in front of Lance were Poirot.

He still remembered that the first time he learned swordsmanship, he learned it secretly from this soldier.

“Lance… you… are back…”

Viscount Lane was obviously also a little caught off guard. There was a rare trace of embarrassment on his face. He never thought that his second son would return at this time.

When he was at his worst.

“Master, let’s go in and talk again.” The old butler whispered.

Viscount Lane suddenly woke up like a dream, waved to let Poirot and the others disperse, and the group went into the house separately.

…

In the study, the two father and son sat opposite each other as before.

Lance looked at his father in this world quietly. He looked much older, with many wrinkles on his forehead, and a lot of white hair on his temples.

“I’m glad you can come back.” The Viscount said embarrassedly: “But as you can see, my situation is actually not very good. Your brother…”

“I already know what happened to my brother.” Lance said nonchalantly: “Longbottom hopes to drive our family out of this land. This is obvious. He needs some fuse.”

Seems to hear that Lance used the phrase “our family”, and Viscount Lane was a little relieved.

He sighed and said: “It is true, but he is now the prince of the kingdom, and even the queen is held hostage by him. I can’t resist him.”

Lance was silent for a while, and suddenly at this moment, a bustling voice came from outside the manor.

“What happened?” the Viscount asked displeasedly.

Poirot rushed in in a stride: “My lord, Longbottom Jr. brought two squadrons of Blue Ling knights and surrounded our manor. He said that if we don’t hand over the murderer who killed his knights, we will attack us. manor!”

The Viscount paled in shock, and in the next second, he suddenly reacted and turned his gaze on Lance.

Lance stood up slowly and nodded.

“I killed it.”

Viscount Lane clenched his fists, Poirot looked at the father and son nervously. The former gritted his teeth and said flatly: “Let’s go out and see!”

“Don’t worry, Lance, I will never hand you over!”

“Longbottom is really deceiving people. He has forced me to hand over a son. I will never let them take you away for the remaining son!”

After that, he suddenly drew out the sword and rushed out of the study decisively.

Poirot nodded to Lance and walked out in a stride.

Lance looked at the somewhat depressed back of the Viscount, and was slightly moved in his heart.

…

At this moment, the manor was already full of royal cavalry.

The servants and maids made a mess, watching the Viscount walk out of the study, and a woman hurriedly leaned forward:

“Master, what is going on? Why do they say our people killed their knight?”

“Because I did kill their knight.”

Lance walked out of the room and said to Mrs. Nancy.

When Nancy saw Lance, her face suddenly changed. She looked at the guards outside the manor with a spiteful look.

She pulled the Viscount frantically, pointed at Lance and said, “Master, this calamity killed Lord Longbottom’s knight as soon as he came back. Lord Prince will not bypass us. Our son is still in Lord Prince’s hands. , Griffin is your son!”

“Handing him over, Lord Longbottom shouldn’t embarrass us.”
