After Feixue left, Qin Huo helped him find a cemetery, and stood alone in front of the tombstone for a day without anyone accompanying him.

He was replacing the original owner and giving away the horse who was willing to leave because he insisted on seeing the original owner, but unfortunately he did not see it.

Uno didn't stay in the castle for long, and left respectfully after dinner. His father, the Baron, was still waiting for him at the entrance of the forest.

Li An sent this little friend away, and he was too tired, so he respectfully said good night and went upstairs to sleep.

Saga got the precious wine in Qin Huo's wine cellar as he wished, moved a bottle and hurried back to the room, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Suo Li stepped forward and asked Qin Huo what he needed, Qin Huo waved his hand, "It's okay."

He sat for a while, then went upstairs too.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Huo was awakened by a crisp bird song.

The sun shines on the earth, and everything in the world wakes up from the dark sleep.

When I went downstairs, I saw Rian sitting in the hall receiving Saga's teaching, and Saga's explanation was quite easy to understand.

Qin Huo didn't stand for long before he was spotted by Suo Li, and Qin Huo stopped him in time when he was about to speak.

There seemed to be some subtle changes in Ryan's face from when he and Ryan first met.

For example, he dared to speak, his voice became louder, his shoulders did not shrunk, and he began to imitate Saga with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes became brighter.

After Saga instructed the last question, he turned his head in surprise, "Master Lord, good morning."

Qin Huo nodded and walked down, "Morning, you got up very early today."

I usually just woke up at this time, but I didn't expect the two of them to start working on the topic.

Ryan whispered, "The school requires early to bed and early to rise. This is not only good for the body, but also can exercise the mind, get closer to life, and feel the elements in the air."

It's just that he didn't expect Teacher Saga to get up so early, and the two were a little speechless for a while. Saga wanted to talk to him, but every time Rian dealt with it silently.

In the end, under the mediation of Suo Li, the two began to work on the topic seriously. In this way, the two really had some common topics.

From the corner of Qin Huo's eye, he glanced at the parchment scroll on the table. The words on it were densely packed, which made him dizzy, and he still couldn't understand anything.

"Are you done?" he asked calmly.

Ryan nodded, "It's done."

"Then you can have breakfast."

Qin Huo walked and watched, Saga drank yesterday, he didn't expect to wake up so early today, and help Rian with his homework in an orderly manner, what a talent.

After a simple breakfast, Qin Huo planned to go to the place where the original owner was attacked, so he asked Saga to teach Rian well at home.

Soli asked him if he needed to be accompanied, Qin Huo of course refused.

Before setting off, Qin Huo picked out a black cloak from the original owner's wardrobe, and imitated the original owner's appearance to the back mountain.

The original owner seemed to come to the back mountain to check something that day, but his memory was a little vague about this. Qin Huo checked around here, and walked the original owner's travel route in memory.

In the end, he walked into a place with strange rocks in a detour, and there were many towering strange rocks inside. Qin Huo walked around in it, and unexpectedly found that it was more like a maze.

It must be the first time that the original owner of the maze came here last time, that's why he was so easily attacked. It's just that this is obviously the back mountain of the lord, how could there be an unknown place suddenly.

Soon, Qin Huo was about to reach the place where the original owner was attacked. Qin Huo stopped and did not go immediately. He observed the surroundings for a while, and finally left.

Since this is the back mountain of the old castle, the only people who know about it must be the people in the old castle. Except for the people in the current old castle, it is possible that the people in the previous old castle will also find out.

However, the former lord's people had been dismissed before, and there were basically no people left, so they should not be the previous people.

So now he is investigating all the people in the castle, so as to determine what went wrong.

This is a big project. Qin Huo took a deep look at the maze of strange rocks before leaving. It is impossible to build such an unknown thing in such a hidden place for no reason. It must have its purpose.

So what's behind that maze?

In the next few days, Qin Huo has been secretly investigating all the people in the castle. Most of these people entered the castle one after another and basically never left, so the scope is much smaller.

If someone left, it would be too troublesome to go to great lengths to find out where those people were.

Suo Li was the first to investigate. Suo Li said that the new housekeeper, Qin Huo can only have a helper if he has been investigated clearly.

In the end, it proved that there was nothing wrong with Suo Li, so Qin Huo simply handed over this task to Suo Li to investigate.

During this period, Qin Huo went to school a few more times, and was satisfied to see that Li An started to get in touch with the students in the class under Uno's leadership. After cutting off the two sources of family, the smile on Li An's face became more and more serious. too much.

The principal also confirmed that Rian's life has become more colorful recently than before, and he began to actively participate in class affairs.

Uno's father, the baron, couldn't help but look forward to the matter of the two children, but what he expected was that the lord could make himself go further.

In contrast, Qin Huo refused, and said that this is the communication between children, and it has nothing to do with adults. Even so, seeing the lord's sake, the business of the baron's family has improved a lot.

Uno made the comparison very clear, and also used Li An to tell Qin Huo not to care about any of his father's requests, and he was willing to be friends with Li An, which did not include any interest relationship.

In a flash, more than half a month has passed.

The personnel in the castle were almost investigated, and Soli handed over all the personnel's relationship and life history to Qin Huo.

Originally, he could have screened out a group of people, but knowing people and faces but not their hearts, who knows whether the ones he kicked out are really good or bad.

Qin Huo read all the files, and Suo Li investigated very carefully. He also specifically asked to investigate the itinerary of everyone on the day of NO.12.

Suori investigated when these people ate, went to the bathroom, and slept.

He turned around and found that there was nothing suspicious about all the people here, and they were all civilians, and it was impossible for them to sneak up silently and succeed in the end.

His investigation appears to have reached an impasse.

He also read Saga's file, and it was indeed as what Ober said, he was a scientist, teacher and tutor who was short of money.

It was purely accidental that he appeared there that day.

Qin Huo put down the documents in his hand, turned on the projection spar on the desktop, and several projection videos from different places appeared in mid-air.

This was the surveillance camera he asked Ober to install in some rooms.

You can see Saga and Rian sitting in front of the desk, the two of them are slowly discussing a question, the voice is a little weak, it may be a problem with the installation of Ober, and I can't hear it very clearly.

I could only hear that the two people were indeed discussing topics and the like. After a while, it seemed that Saga began to lead the topic back to Babale.

Qin Huo's heart moved, and he sat up straight in an instant, and then tried his best to distinguish what Saga was talking about.

However, the closer you get, the harder it seems to hear. Qin Huo put his gaze on the projection screen, and only the sides of the two can be seen on the screen. Since Saga's head turned to face Rian, this is tantamount to being behind the scenes. on monitoring.

Qin Huo could only observe the changes in Li An's expression. At first he was shocked and uneasy, then excited, and then confused.

I don't know what Saga said. In the end, Rian's face was basically calm, and he seemed to be nodding to Saga.

Qin Huo frowned, turned off the monitoring equipment, and mentally guessed that Ober bought some inferior goods, why couldn't he hear the conversation clearly.

He tried the ones in other rooms, and there seemed to be no problem, but the one in Rian's room had a problem, maybe it was broken.

Call Suoli, let Suoli go down the mountain to buy again, and tell him to buy the best.

Since dealing with Baba Le, all the affairs of Ryan have been contracted by Suo Li alone, and this Suo Li has worked hard without complaining, and has never said a word of hardship.

Qin Huo was very satisfied with this, and planned to double Suoli's salary in gold coins.

At the same time, he secretly investigated what happened in the castle without letting anyone know, such as any unusual behavior, or weird and incomprehensible movements.

He wrote a letter to a place similar to a detective agency. He wrote in the name of Soli. The reason is that there have been frequent thefts in the castle recently, but he has not been able to find the culprit. He is afraid that the lord will blame him, so he wants to know more about it. Has anything like this happened in the castle before?

Calculating the time, more than half a month has passed, and the information from the detective agency should come back.

"Dong dong dong! dong dong dong! dong dong dong!"

Suddenly, there were some regular noises from the window. Qin Huo looked over and saw that it was a crow pecking at the window.

The crow saw him coming, and said very humanely, "I'm sorry, my lord, but your housekeeper is not in the castle, so I want to send you a letter, please check it."

Qin Huo looked at the small letter tied to the crow's leg, stretched out his hand to untie it, and the crow left quickly after he signed for it.

After looking at the pattern on the letter, he found that it was the pattern of the detective agency he asked to help check things.

Qin Huo quickly opened it, and there were indeed some investigation results on the castle inside.

The results of the investigation showed that there was no similar incident before, only one time when the former lord was there, the back hill of the castle had undergone a very large renovation.

The incident lasted for two years, and a lot of stones were transported as the foundation stone under the grass. A lot of stones were transported, but due to the long time, the original craftsmen have died of accidents one after another. You know, it is very difficult and accidental for them to find out.

Stone?grassland?cornerstone?

Qin Huo guessed that the horse farm in the back mountain should be used as a cover, and then someone secretly repaired the labyrinth with strange rocks.

But it is said here that the craftsmen who participated in the production all died of accidents one after another after completion, which is very rare in this continent where the average life expectancy of a person is [-] years old.

And it wasn't anyone else who died, it was these artisans who participated in the manufacture, and thus the news of Houshan could be completely covered up.

The detective agency also stated at the end that they discovered that the descendants of the craftsman were all anonymous during the investigation. The descendants were very low-key, and they discovered it by accident.

And there are some remote areas, they don't know that a lord has been changed, they just found that there is a lord who hasn't appeared much in recent years.

In addition, there are two other lords in Yaoyang Continent. Of those two lords, one is a cultivating madman like the original owner, and the other is slick and smooth, who likes to run around and make friends with different people.

At this time, someone knocked on his door.

Qin Huo hurriedly hid the documents and monitoring equipment on the desktop, and finally tidied up his clothes before waving the door open.

"Rian, why are you here? Do you need me?"

It was Li An who was at the door, and now Li An was able to speak normally with Qin Huo with his head held high.

It's just that the words between the two are still a little rusty, and there is a strangeness in the respect.

Qin Huo didn't expect to have a good relationship with Li An. Recently, Li An looked more and more like a child, and he was also happy in his heart.

Lian grabbed two of his fingers, and then walked into Qin Huo's study.

This was the first time he walked into his father's study. His father was an ice mage, and a place with his father must be cold.

This room was no exception, as soon as you walked in, there was a piercing chill.

The study room is very large, and the huge bookshelves contain books from all races and regions on the mainland, it is simply a huge treasure house.

Lian bit his lip, "Father, the school's graduation ceremony will be in a few days. After the centralized examination, parents will be called to hold a parent-teacher meeting, and finally, the test of talent identification will begin under the witness of the parents."

This is a test about everyone's fate.

The previous exams didn't seem to be very important, after all, it was useless for them to have such good grades. Once they could test their talent for magic, even a poor boy who was once looked down upon by others could become a nobleman.

No matter how good the grades are, it is futile for a student without magical talent, and in the end he can only leave the school and start looking for other ways out.

Some will be the lowest of the low, and engage in some physical activity, and some, a little better, will be able to do things with their brains.

The distance between the parents is just to confirm the authenticity of this test.

Qin Huo knew the importance of this test and promised, "Of course, no matter what I have to do, I will definitely go to your test ceremony."

On the other hand, Rian seemed a little more uneasy, and he stood there a little embarrassed.

Qin Huo was puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Ryan nodded, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "Father, what if I'm found to have no talent?"

An aristocrat, especially a high-ranking lord whose son has no magical talent, Rian has already predicted that he will make people laugh.

Because throughout history, nobles were only held by gifted people. If there was someone in a noble family without talent, that person would be expelled from the family immediately on the spot.

Lian settled down and waited silently for his father's sentence.

His father is the lord, so he must be very disappointed by then, right?

Qin Huo frowned, "Who told you that you have no talent for magic?"

Ryan would not ask him this question for no reason.

Rian shook his head and said softly, "No one, I'm just afraid, what if I don't have magic talent?"

Qin Huo looked at Rian, who could only see his hair spinning with his head down, and said, "Don't worry, no matter whether you have talent or not, you are my son. As a lord, I can still protect you." Then, I will definitely protect you."

"You can take the test at ease, no matter what the result is, it won't change the fact that you are my son."

Although Qin Huo's words were cold, they were sonorous and powerful, hitting the soft heart of the humble Li An word by word.

Ryan nodded vigorously, "Understood, father."

Qin Huo glanced behind him, "Have you finished today's lesson?"

Ryan nodded, "Yes, today's lesson is over. Regardless of whether I have talent or not, today is the last lesson Mr. Saga gave me."

Qin Huo recalled for a while, it seemed that the contract with Saga was indeed carried out until Lian graduated from this school.

School graduation means Rian's magic test, and today is Rian's last rest day at school.

So Ryan is right to say that, today is indeed the last day for Saga to teach him lessons.

Qin Huo reacted, "So, is Saga leaving?"

Ryan nodded, "Yes, the teacher is waiting to say goodbye to you in the hall."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huo immediately dragged Rian down.

In the hall, Saga has collected all his daily necessities in the castle and put them into a ring similar to a magic space.

Saga was wearing formal attire today, and respectfully put his hand on his chest, "My lord, I have lived up to your entrustment. I have finished teaching Rian, and Rian will no longer need me in the future."

Qin Huo nodded, "I am also very grateful to you. I usually don't have time to follow Rian. You are the one who takes him to study, and at the same time enlightens him and helps him come out."

Saga smiled, "I can't say thank you, I like Rian very much, and I am very happy to help him."

Qin Huo said to Suoli who was on the side, "Double the gold coins for Mr. Saga, and then go to the wine cellar to get a few jars of wine and give them to Mr. Saga."

Soli quickly retreated as promised.

Saga glanced at the time on the wall without leaving a trace, and finally looked back quickly.

But all of this was seen by Qin Huo.

Qin Huo said, "I'm sorry, Saga, I wanted to keep you for dinner, but I think you seem to be in a hurry to go back, so I won't waste your time."

Saga was not annoyed by being poked in the center, and still kept a smile on his face, "It's okay, I'm a little anxious, and I may not be able to have dinner with the lord, thank you very much for the reward."

Li An has been standing beside Qin Huo, looking at Saga with some nostalgia in his eyes.

Qin Huo pushed him, "Rian, Teacher Saga is leaving, why don't you say something?"

Rian was pushed to the front all at once, looking at the tall and gentle Saga in front of him, he whispered, "Teacher, can you stay?"

Saga gently rubbed his soft golden hair, squatted down, looked into Rian's blue eyes, and said with encouragement, "Rian, after passing the test, you are a big child, you should not miss the present life, but to work harder to help the lord relieve the pressure, if possible, I welcome you to come and play with me often."

Li An's sapphire blue eyes flashed, and his eyes were a little moist. He nodded heavily, and said crisply, "Yes! I will definitely go to you!"

Saga raised his head, stood up, and smiled helplessly at Qin Huo.

There was no expression on Qin Huo's face.

While they were talking, Soli had followed the instructions and directed the servants to move out the wine from the wine cellar, as well as a box of gold coins.

"Teacher Saga, the lord's gifts are all here."

Saga once again performed a respectful etiquette to Qin Huo, "Thank you very much for the reward, Lord Lord."

The two old foxes used their own methods to deal with each other without leaving any traces, and finally they had a good talk and said goodbye.

Qin Huo lowered his head and saw Rian looking at the direction Saga left in a daze, and patted Rian on the shoulder, "Go back to dinner."

Saga's face is gentle and elegant, and he speaks softly, which seems to be full of encouragement. He is also patient with children and has a very friendly temperament. It is not surprising that he is liked by Rian.

But this was the first time Li An showed strong emotions in front of Qin Huo, and Qin Huo felt that something was wrong.

After all, no matter what emotions Rian had in front of him, he usually wouldn't show them like this, and he should put them away after showing them for a while.

After being slapped by Qin Huo, Rian seemed to finally come back to his senses. He lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Sori helped set the dinner, then stood aside.

Boldly joked, "It's the first time Master Li'an likes someone so much, but Mr. Saga is so gentle, he is indeed very popular with children."

Rian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and then swallowed it again, but there was a trace of doubt in his brows.

Qin Huo took a bite of the vegetarian dish and did not continue the topic, "Rian, when is your test time?"

Li An said respectfully, "Tomorrow is the comprehensive exam, the day after tomorrow is the grade ranking plus parent meeting, and the formal test starts at [-]:[-] am on the third day. The test is arranged in order of age. I am the youngest, so I should be in the back."

Qin Huo nodded, "Okay, you should try your best to take the test tomorrow. You can't focus on the test. No matter what, the comprehensive test is just as important. You can't favor one over the other."

Lian looked at him in surprise. Qin Huo was the first person to propose that the comprehensive test was as important as the talent test, especially since he was a high-ranking nobleman and a lord whom everyone looked up to.

As if aware of his doubts, Qin Huo explained, "In this continent, there are not only talented nobles. The nobles cannot support this continent. Those who can develop the continent and continue to be ordinary people without talent, so we also We should also respect those ordinary people who have no talent but can make outstanding contributions to the mainland, without them, there would be no talent today."

Before Ryan could speak, he saw Issori turning his back unnaturally and wiping his wet eyes with his hands.

They are ordinary people, but everyone believes that they are born to serve the nobles, and the nobles should treat them as they should. Unexpectedly, the lord will speak for them one day.

Qin Huo waved his hand and said to all the servants, "You all go down, I don't need to serve here for the time being."

After everyone retreated, Qin Huo said to Li An, "Are you confused?"

Lian nodded honestly, "Yes, Babale is also an ordinary person, but we easily wiped her out."

Qin Huo sighed, "Because she has done too much and her crime is unforgivable. You must know that in this continent, I can speak out for ordinary people, to the extent that I just talk about it. I want to raise the status of ordinary people, but The other two lords will not agree, including all the nobles, they have enjoyed this kind of honorable treatment for too long, if they really do this, I am afraid it will be the two of us who will be in danger."

"Unless..." Qin Huo looked into Rian's eyes and said softly, "Unless we overthrow the rule of the nobles, and then establish a system of mutual checks and balances, with an equal rule for all crimes of all people."

Lian was taken aback, he didn't expect that Qin Huo, who is a lord, would say such a thing.

If it gets out, it will have a great impact on him!

Qin Huo lowered his eyes, "Okay, I'm just talking, you eat quickly, there is an exam tomorrow, take the exam well, don't take my words to heart."

The feeling of parting from Saga in his heart just now has completely dissipated, and he ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, "Father, I'm done eating, I'm going up to review now."

Qin Huo nodded, and said, "Don't see it too late, or you won't perform well if you don't have a good spirit in the exam."

Ryan didn't know if he heard it, so he ran upstairs in a hurry.

The author has something to say: the word count of this chapter is 6666!
