After the global recovery I crossed

"Louis, I won!"

The blond boy put down the chess piece in his hand, his narrowed smiling eyes even brought up his curly hair.

There was a chessboard in front of Lin Xingtao, and he saw himself reaching out and messing up all the chess pieces in displeasure, and said, "Why won't my brother let me? My brother is too bad."

Lucas continued to smile and got up from the chair opposite.He put his forehead against his younger brother's forehead, and said softly, "Next time I will let Louis win, and I will make it difficult for Louis to see that it is brother who let you. How about that?"

Lin Xingtao felt himself smiling, and immediately kissed the cheek that was close at hand: "Okay brother, I love you the most!"

A pair of arms stretched out from behind Lin Xingtao, grabbing him and Lucas.

The crisp girlish voice sounded: "Then what about me, Louis."

Louis willfully fell into his sister's weak embrace behind him, and cheered with a smile: "Of course I love my sister the most!"

Lucas lost his footing and fell over.

So Audrey, Lucas, and Louis laughed together in the study, and the children's tender skin rubbed against each other, exuding joy and carefreeness.Even Lin Xingtao, who couldn't control his body, felt the warmth and beauty.

Suddenly, Audrey exclaimed: "Daddy is back!"

The servants greeted neatly outside the door, and a man stood at the door, looking at them with a smile.

Audrey and Lucas jumped off their seats happily and threw themselves into his arms.

Louis didn't move, and Lin Xingtao also took the opportunity to look at the Viscount who appeared in the dream.

With just one glance, Lin Xingtao couldn't help but lament that the family's good looks are on the rise.

Viscount Salian is a person who is glowing all over his body. His long golden hair hangs down meticulously behind his head, and with those green eyes, he looks like an angel.

He seemed to have come back from the outside just now, and he was in a hurry to meet his child as soon as he came back, and he didn't take off the black coat with cloak.

A maid wanted to take off his coat, but he gently refused.

"No, I'll go to the Duke's Palace later."

But even though he was wearing a somewhat cold black coat, his body was still thin and even slender, and his gentle and elegant beauty was revealed all the time in his gestures.

Lin Xingtao was amazed not only by his good looks, but also by the fact that the viscount and the viscountess look too much alike!

It's the kind of image that is related by blood!

The lines of the two people are equally delicate and soft, but the viscount is more restrained and deep in temperament.

Lin Xingtao suspected that they might be siblings or siblings.

The Viscount carried the two not-so-young children effortlessly, which did not match his thin and slender figure.He smiled and talked with the two children for a while, raised his eyes, and stared at Lin Xingtao who was still in place.

"Dear Louis, are you worried that Dad won't be able to hold the three children?" His voice was low and sweet.

He showed a slightly troubled expression——

"If there is only one child, then does Louis not have to worry?"

Audrey and Lucas turned their faces at the same time, and their laughter stopped abruptly, as if being cut off by a big hand.

——their necks were pinched by the viscount's long fingers.

Everything before was regarded as Louis' memories, but from just now, the dream turned to a strange direction.

Lin Xingtao found that he could control his body movements at this moment, but he still didn't move, just watched the Viscount put down Audrey and Lucas with wide eyes, and walked slowly towards him.

His steps are elegant and powerful, and the blond hair hangs around his waist in an intoxicating arc.

"Click-"

Suddenly there was a sound of high heels falling to the ground.

Lin Xingtao was taken aback for a moment, he looked at the Viscount's beautiful face, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was the Viscount or the Viscountess who was walking towards him.

But dreams may be so strange.

The two almost identical faces kept changing, and in the end, it was the Viscount who picked Lin Xingtao up from the chair.

The dream returned to normal, and Lucas and Audrey ran over smiling.

The Viscount teased, "Would our little Louis like to be an archaeologist when he grows up?"

"Look, Dad recovered a lot of good things from this expedition." He pointed to the things brought by the maid behind him, "It's mainly books, you put them in this bookcase."

"Children, there are highly intelligent creatures other than humans in this world."

"The legend handed down by our Salian family may be true." The Viscount thought thoughtfully, "I may add another sister to Lucas..."

Lin Xingtao heard himself asking, "Why, Dad?"

The Viscount smiled slightly, his green eyes glowing like jewels: "Because Louis has a sister as a bride, but Lucas doesn't!"

"No, I don't want it!" Lucas pursed his lips a little unhappy, "I have it too! I, I have Ross!"

"Hahaha brother Lucas has a dog bride!"

The viscount put Louis down, and let the two boys chase and fight in the study without knowing anything.

Only Audrey frowned, feeling a little at a loss when she saw her younger brother's lively figure.

The Viscount stroked Audrey's head and comforted him softly: "What's the matter, Audrey, don't you want to be with your brother forever?"

"In our Salian family, this is not a big deal..."

At this time, a cold female voice came from outside the door.

"Well, how do you say that, they don't need to be like us, it makes me uncomfortable, my dear brother."

The Viscountess' blond hair flicked past the door.

Before Lin Xingtao could see clearly the different wife through Louis' eyes, he saw Audrey walking straight in front of him and squatting down.

Audrey said: "I am willing to be my brother's bride."

She smiled sweetly, then pursed her lips and kissed her brother.

However, under the viscount's quiet gaze and Lucas covering his face shyly, her beautiful face gradually lost its white and tender luster, becoming a little stiff and blue.

In the end, the pus splashed everywhere, and the cold and slippery tongue nimbly slipped through the gap between the fangs, and entered the boy's mouth without hesitation——

Lin Xingtao woke up suddenly, and then kicked the ghoul lying on the bedside and sticking out its tongue at him.

His little strength couldn't kick the ghoul, so the ghoul remained motionless, and even happily rolled its tongue around Lin Xingtao's feet.

[Get down! ] Lin Xingtao issued an order in ghoul language.

The ghoul just prostrated itself on the ground.

The curtains in the bedroom didn't do much to black out the light, and the hazy light cast a shimmering light on the ghoul's rubber skin.

Recalling the dream, Lin Xingtao stepped barefoot on the fluffy carpet. He looked at Audrey who had turned into a ghoul, and felt unspeakably sad.

He touched Audrey's pointed ears, and sighed, "Sister, the Ghoul Bride is too harsh."

After the vague whimpers, the maids came in one after another to wash and dress him.

The curtains were drawn, and the sun outside was really bright and beautiful.

"Master Louis, today is the day before the banquet!"

"Madam is going to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, let us play with the young master today!"

No one could tell that these maids with smooth faces and bright smiles were ghouls who would kill without blinking an eye.

Lin Xingtao yawned, and followed them out of the room.

In the distance on the second floor is the study room where the fire broke out, and the servants are cleaning up the ruins in the white smoke.

The charred pages and stumps have been mostly cleaned up.

Lin Xingtao thought of the row of bookshelves where the Viscount put his books in his dream, but now it seems that they have all been burned unfortunately.

"How many books are left?" Lin Xingtao asked the maid, he wanted to learn about the world through books today.

Pointing to the balcony on the second floor, the maid said, "All the books are temporarily placed there."

"Master, why don't you eat breakfast while reading a book on the terrace."

So Lin Xingtao sat on a chair on the terrace, pillowed on a soft velvet cushion, and ate a delicate and delicious cake.

The remaining books are all old books, mostly related to history, legends, and the Salian family, which is exactly what he wants!

Through this, he knew that he was now in a country called the First French Empire.

The Viscount Salien's Mansion is located in the Lorraine region, the Vosges Province, and the city of Epinal, close to the famous Vosges Mountains and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.

Lin Xingtao looked out from the terrace and could see the lush forests and rolling mountains in the distance.

In another direction, you can see a prosperous city.

However, not only the Notre Dame Cathedral mentioned in the book, but also a special shrine in the city.

Temple of the God of Industry.

Lin Xingtao could vaguely see its outline.

More than ten years ago, steam was improved, and a slow but firm industrial revolution started all over France, and even spread to other countries.

All kinds of new things began to emerge, such as the large factories built in the north of Lorraine, and some civilians without titles accumulated a lot of wealth and began to marry noble ladies and call themselves "property nobles".

Novelty inventions bring about less obvious changes in people's lives because everything takes time - as it should.

Without the sudden rise of the god of industry in the past two years, Lin Xingtao would feel that the development of this world is similar to the first industrial revolution on earth.

But the problem is that the development of this world has achieved a singular super-great leap forward under the guidance of the God of Industry.

Heinously fast.Countless things that will only appear after the second industrial revolution on the earth have emerged, and the theories necessary for their birth have not been perfected.

It's like the god of industry diligently blowing air into the brains of geniuses, blowing out countless whimsical ideas, and blowing out a weird era of deformed development.

It's unbelievable how much has changed over the past decade.In this era, some places still retain the classical backwardness of the early nineteenth century, and some places are full of ultra-modern futuristic sense.

God of industry!Lin Xingtao took a sip from his teacup, he was skeptical of this god.

[He makes our life more advanced!He makes our world more colorful!He takes care of us humans! ]

Contrary to the gods, some legendary creatures in this world, such as werewolves, have actually not ceased.

The dizzying changes not only gave new hope to common people, especially artists, writers, and poets, but also brought panic and confusion to nobles.Some nobles choose to remain conservative, some indulge in intoxication, and some are aggressive.

Backward and advanced, belief and technology, ignorance and truth, madness and restraint, progress and depravity.

Lin Xingtao couldn't help laughing when he saw the cars and carriages passing by on the street outside the Viscount's Mansion.

It is said that Lorraine is still a relatively underdeveloped area. I don't know how prosperous the capital of France will be.

Rumble-

A voice came from above his head, Lin Xingtao raised his head and saw a strange airship.

Its exterior is painted in bold and weird colors. The propellers and gears are exposed, with a crystal-like luster, which reminds Lin Xingtao of the gun barrels of the special security forces.

With black smoke whistling, the eccentric steel giant gasped through the Vosges Mountains, heading for the city center.

The maid said softly, "That's a big man from the capital, maybe a prince or princess."

"But he is also here to attend our banquet tomorrow." She smiled smugly.

Lin Xingtao asked: "Is he a participant or a participant?"

—Is he the host of the party or the food?

The servants standing outside the terrace all laughed strangely.

"Surprise surprise! Let our beloved Master Louis have a feast!"
