Chapter 1 The Desolate Nobility(1/2)
It was late at night and it was raining heavily outside.
Lei Wen sat in a cafe with his cheeks held up and looked outside with great depression. The rain curtains on the glass window were like waterfalls, and a thick layer kept pouring down, which showed how heavy the rain was.
The date opportunity I finally got was destroyed by this damn weather.
Suddenly it rained so heavily, so naturally no one was willing to go out.
To be honest, the thunder outside really makes people feel nervous. You should know that when he entered the door 5 minutes ago, everything was normal.
"Oh, forget it, wait until the rain is lighter, and it should be a while for this kind of rain."
Lei Wen was drinking coffee while playing with his cell phone.
He is playing a pixel game, and the content of the game is to mine and fight small monsters every day to collect various materials and make items. Forging, alchemy, magic patterns, leather making, jewelry... everything is available.
This is actually a particularly boring game, but Lei Wen enjoys it. He just likes to play some training games with very slow pace.
"Ding, congratulations. You have completed all the professional master recipes and obtained the master ring!"
"Uh, that's all?? There are still several bosses who haven't done it..."
I stared blankly at the white ring emitting light on the screen of my phone, not knowing what to say.
He has been playing this game for more than a year, and he took it out for a while if he had nothing to do. In fact, he just passed the time and never thought that he would have an ending.
But thinking about it, it seems that there has been no new content recently.
The most depressing thing is that the screen of the phone is always stuck here, and it is useless no matter how it operates.
"Fake!!"
In the end, I could only shut down the computer and restart it helplessly, without knowing that the dark clouds above my head were accumulating amazing energy...
************
"Levin! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Um..."
Feeling that someone seemed to be pushing him, Lei Wen reluctantly opened his eyes.
The light from the window was a little dazzling, which made him squint into a slit for a moment. He frowned and looked at the person in front of him with difficulty...
I felt like I was poured with ice water and I woke up quickly.
After rubbing his eyes, he looked at this woman again with uncertainty. In fact, it should be more precise, between a woman and a girl, and she looks about 15 or 6 years old.
Because he didn't know her at all, so strange.
She is very beautiful, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a typical Western beauty. She looks a little like Emma Watson, and is more delicate than her. Especially her eyes, blue and clear as the sea. But she wears it very strange. In his opinion, this red gauze dress is a bit too gorgeous and retro. Although it is really good, normal people should not wear it like this. It gives people the taste of vampire beauties in some American dramas...
"You, who are you??"
Lei Wen asked in confusion with his head, even thinking that he hadn't woken up in his dream.
Anyway, he was really confused now and felt a slurry in his head.
"Hmph, don't pretend. Can you hide your tricks from me? Well, this is your wig and beard. Do you think you are very smart? You're so shameless!"
The little beauty threw the fake beard in her hand onto the bed with disgust, and stared at Lei Wen with an extremely contemptuous expression.
"ah???"
Lei Wen felt inexplicably and didn't know what she was talking about.
"...You are really thick-skinned. It's time to be so hard.
OK, you don’t admit it, right? I’m a stolen person and I’m getting it!”
The little beauty clapped her hands gently as she said that.
Soon, a female guard wearing silver armor came in from behind the door, and pulled a woman in exposed clothes in, which made Lei Wen stunned.
She is very beautiful and is considered a beautiful woman with fair skin and a stunning figure. She is wearing a very thin veil, which can't cover her spring scenery at all.
"How is it?? Don't you admit it yet?? You dare to take advantage of the opportunity when your father and sister go out to negotiate. You dare to have a fish outside! If you let your sister know, what the consequences will be, I don't need to say it anymore?? My stupid brother-in-law..."
Although the little beauty has an angel face, the smile on the corner of her mouth looks like a little devilish.
"Sister, brother-in-law..." Lei Wen looked at her thoughtfully, watching herself lying on a gorgeous big bed. A strange room, a bright red carpet, a bright and charming woman, and the burning flames in the warm fireplace next to her.
Memories surged up like a tide...
"Uh, please, please listen to my explanation." In a moment, Lei Wen felt that he had passed a century, and a large amount of memories made him completely unable to absorb it.
Although it is hard to believe it, he understands that he has encountered the legendary time travel. He came to another world, named Raven and the Messiah, who is the descendant of a declining nobleman.
His current identity is a son-in-law named Count Carrick Trein. The person in front of him is Count Carrick's third daughter, Alice Trein.
The status of a son-in-law in this world is to see the attitude of his sister-in-law. He can only be a human being with his tail between his legs.
"......Is there anything to explain? Who believes your words?" Alice nodded to her subordinates, watching them walk out of the door and gently pull up their long skirts and sit on the edge of the bed.
After all, he was a noble lady, and every move seemed very well-educated and gentle.
Speaking of which, he actually didn't know Alice. He only knew that she was not 16 years old this year and had been studying pharmaceutical alchemy in Wangdu. It is said that she was a very genius alchemist.
She returned to the territory when she was married and never left again. Now she has opened an alchemy studio in the territory and occasionally sells some works.
In short, there is almost no intersection between them, and the words they said are probably no more than ten sentences.
He asked unconsciously: "...what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do??? It depends on how you do it..." Alice raised her head slightly, looking very confident and arrogant.
"I don't quite understand."
To be honest, it feels really bad to be threatened by a little girl. But when someone is under the roof, she has to bow her head, and Lei Wen can only swallow his anger for a while and pretend not to understand.
"...What a stupid guy. The reputation of the Grand Duke Asel was defiled by you. But it was also true that you gave up your family surname. It was really disgusting. Now you are just a walking corpse."
"..." Lei Wen was really troubled by her satire. This body's ex is definitely a ridiculous guy.
He was once a famous playboy in the royal capital and became addicted to gambling. Because his parents unfortunately died prematurely and were not bound by brothers, the most famous thing is that he lost half of the property of a certain royal family overnight.
In fact, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is just a reason why the king took back their family's fiefdom. After all, his family has made great contributions to the country for generations, and it seems too ruthless to take it. But it is obvious that he is so stupid as to get it so easily.
No matter how big the family business is, it cannot withstand the troubles of prodigal sons. In the end, he lost all his property and almost became a beggar.
It was at this time that Earl Carrick fell in love with him and pulled him. Not only did he help him pay back all his debts, but he also married his eldest daughter to him.
What Carrick values is the strong bloodline of their Massian family, which can combine with their daughters to give birth to perfect offspring.
You should know that his father was once the first knight in the kingdom. If he hadn't died of illness and hadn't educated him well, he wouldn't have been so useless.
But it was only so useless that he dispelled the count's last slightest scruple.
All he wants is a cowardly and incompetent and unthreatening person, as long as he can give birth to a grandson for him.
"What's wrong?? Are you angry?? It turns out that you still have some backbone. OK, when my sister comes back, I will tell her that you are having a woman outside. She will definitely take this opportunity to torture you. Maybe you will be castrated, and everyone will be very happy."
Alice sighed softly, looking like she was about to watch the show.
To be honest, Lei Wen used to have a good impression of her, but now she is really surprised. Like her sister, she looks beautiful on the outside and is vicious on the inside.
This family is a pervert...
Thinking of her sister Natalie's usual actions, Raven resisted the urge to get angry. Moreover, if this incident was really spread, Earl Carrick would not let him have a good life...
Anyway, he is really in a difficult position now. Who can hold such a big handle in his hands?
If you want to blame, this ex is too TMD and mentally retarded. He is like walking on thin ice and still wants to do such stupid things. Now he wants to take the blame.
"Just say whatever you want." Sighing softly, Raven looked at the burning flames in the fireplace in depressedly and was too lazy to speak anymore.
My mind is full of thoughts on how to get rid of the current predicament.
"It's very simple. You have to listen to me and do things for me in the future."
"What can I do? Didn't you say it too? I'm a useless man who defiles his ancestors and can't take care of himself." Lei Wen spread his hands blankly and replied.
"Your role is very big. Don't you know that you are related to the inheritance rights of our family? Once you give birth to a boy with your sister, he will be the future little master."
Alice stared at her big eyes and looked very serious.
Of course, Lei Wen understood what she meant. The nobles here were really terrible. I didn’t expect that a girl in the flowery season was thinking about these things.
He pretended to be calm and said, "You are right. At that time, your family will have a legal heir. As long as he has a good future, His Majesty the King will not take back your family's fiefdom. This is a great thing for you."
"It seems you are not confused either. But you are wrong. This is a good thing for my sister, so what does it have to do to me?
Maybe not long after, once you have children, my father will treat me as a bargaining chip. This generation of Trein family has no males. In order to obtain enough benefits in the future, I will probably marry an old man. When I was in the capital, the Minister of Finance had specially looked for me several times, and his eyes made me disgusted. He is my father's old friend for many years."
Alice's sudden sad eyes made Lei Wen unconsciously say, "I think you are thinking too much, right? How can there be such a father in the world?"
"I'm thinking too much?? He is my father, do you know him or I know him?? He can sacrifice everything for the benefit of the family, otherwise why would you marry my sister?? If I marry me to an old man like that, I would rather commit suicide. But I wouldn't let you go before committing suicide!"
Alice's words made Lei Wen roll his eyes. What kind of bullshit logic is this?
He said depressedly: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Because you and my sister gave birth to a baby, I became dispensable in my father's eyes."
"......what do you want to do?" Lei Wen couldn't bear this kind of robber logic. Could it be that her sister could not get married yet?? He just wants to think about his future quietly and not want to bother with these inexplicable problems anymore.
To be continued...
