Chapter 3 Welcome Master Hailot
Hilot did not give Kurt any answer.
If he chooses to inherit the Claude Manor, he will be burdened with too many things and will definitely make his mother angry.
Helot changed the subject and said: "How did my father disappear?"
"This story is a bit long." Kurt waved his hand, and the invisible force pushed open the door of the castle. , he said invitingly: "Master, you must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. Your servants are preparing food for you. You can eat while listening to me tell you what happened four years ago."
We grow our own food. ”
Entering the castle is a spacious hall. The candles burning on the stone walls on both sides give off a faint light. Some translucent shadows emerge from the light, and they turn into a wisp of blue smoke. Entering the metal full-body armor displayed under the candlelight
In the gap of the helmet, the green eyes opened, and all the armors stood upright together, holding their "heads" high, as if they were loyal. The guards were welcoming the master's arrival.
Some ghosts dressed as servants emerged from various corners of the castle. They gathered on both sides and saluted to Herot together: "Welcome back, Master Herot." Home! "
Helot remembered that when he saw such a battle for the first time, he was so frightened that he cried loudly.
Now that I see them again, I can't help but get goosebumps all over my body.
He understood very well why his mother left this home with him as an infant. The undead were indeed not accepted by normal worldly views.
Butler Kurt realized that this kind of welcoming ceremony was not liked by Master Helot, and immediately reprimanded the undead servants: "You unruly guys, don't be allowed to suddenly appear and scare the master in the future. Head maid, Go prepare lunch and go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of red wine from the owner's collection."
A ghost in a maid outfit saluted: "Yes, Mr. Kurt, please go to the restaurant and wait. Your lunch will be ready soon."
Kurt said to Hailot: "I will take you to the restaurant."
"Okay..."
Kurt gave the suitcase to a servant and asked him to prepare the room where the young master rested, and then took Herod to the restaurant.
Helot heard the servants behind him talking quietly.
“Great! Master Hailot comes back to inherit the manor, and we don’t have to worry about it being demolished by the town.”
“You are happy too early! Madam will never let the young master Inherit the Claude family."
"If this place is demolished, where can we go?"
"Where? You are thinking too much. Before this manor is demolished, there will be so-called exorcists who will kill us all. ."
"Is the great Claude family going to disappear like this?"
"This is probably fate!"
......
Helot sat at the head seat of the dining table, and the maids came and went quickly setting out a sumptuous lunch.
The Claulund family owns a farmland here, and the undead will sell the food they grow to the town in exchange for money, which is used for the daily maintenance of the manor.
Butler Kurt poured a glass of red wine for Hailot and said: "This is wine made from the grapes we grew ourselves. The master keeps the best red wine for storage every year. He always hopes to Let's taste it with you." Helot picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Sweet and mellow, with some coolness, it has a unique flavor.
Then he said to Kurt: "Can you tell me now how my father disappeared?"
Kurt said: "Master, do you know the cemetery of the Claude family?"
Helot ate the food on the plate and replied: "I seem to have heard my father say that it is a small world of the undead unique to the Claulund family."
"Yes, that It is a small world of the undead that only the Old Ones are qualified to enter. It once brought infinite glory to the Claude family..."
Butler Kurt began to tell the story of the Claude family. history.
Herod's ancestors were once wealthy.
Claude's ancestors once controlled the undead army and followed the founding emperor of the empire to fight. Now the Glory Oath Empire has such a large territory, and the Claude family has a share of the credit.
At that time, the Claude family, which could summon and control the undead at will, was extremely prosperous. It owned a large area of family territory and was one of the twelve founding Dukes of the empire.
The source of strength of the Claulund family comes from the family cemetery.
It is a micro-plane that can only be opened by the direct lineage of the Claude family. It is filled with a large number of undead and produces death energy that is used by the children of the Claude family. Therefore, every direct descendant of the Claulund family is born with a silver spoon in his mouth and can become a well-respected necromancer without putting in much effort.
However, one day, anomalies occurred in the Claulund family cemetery, and some monsters that were not undead suddenly appeared. They attack the undead in the cemetery, constantly squeezing the space of the undead, and causing the death energy to decrease rapidly.
The Claude family once organized forces to enter the cemetery to eliminate these monsters, but these monsters would reappear soon after being killed. The Clairund family retreated step by step, losing ground layer by layer, and finally lost the family cemetery.
Without a steady stream of undead to summon, and without inexhaustible death energy, the once glorious Claulund family declined rapidly.
Later even the title of duke was taken back by the empire.
With the development of the times, the necromancer went from being respected to being hated, and the Claulund family finally became like this.
The family lineage is about to be cut off.
Helot listened patiently to Kurt's family history, and then said: "The history I studied tells me that some things are destined to be abandoned by the times. Even if I inherit the Claude family, probably It won’t change anything.
My father’s letter said that something happened in the family cemetery. Do you know what happened there?”
Kurt replied: “The owner said... ...Many people appeared in the family cemetery. I don’t know where they came from. They don’t seem to be people from our world. The owner also said that these people will madly attack everyone they see when they enter the family cemetery. Monsters. And they will resurrect after being killed by monsters, and they will continue to come back to kill monsters after resurrection.
They kill monsters 24 hours a day, and most monsters are killed instantly as soon as they appear. , these people fight for the area where monsters appear, and they fight each other. It's just crazy!
The family cemetery was in chaos. The owner entered the family cemetery many times to investigate where these people came from. Why are they so crazy about killing monsters? "
Helot couldn't help but be intrigued: "What did father find out? "
"The master said that these people claim to be... players. It’s just that the owner didn’t come back after entering the family cemetery for the fifth time, and we undead cannot enter the family cemetery without the permission of the old rulers, so we left the owner behind four years after his disappearance. Send a letter to you, young master. ”
