Chapter 69: Final Farewell
As a minor noble among the nobles, the Baron owns a manor covering an area of 100 acres in Haitang County.
Today, this manor has been sealed with the seal of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was very desolate in the drizzle.
There is a hundred-meter radius around it, and sometimes knights from the garrison patrol pass by.
Apart from this, no one else was seen.
Lin Feng stood quietly in a corner.
Through the iron fence of the manor, I looked at the mess inside.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and there were traces of knife scratches on the walls.
He seemed to see the Wood family's desperate resistance and the destruction of their family a few days ago.
For no reason, a nameless fire grew in his chest.
Seeing this desolate and desolate place, this is a tragedy.
Lin Feng felt the same way at this moment!
It was as if those who were captured, executed, and imprisoned were their own family members!
The next moment, Lin Feng appeared in a corner of the manor.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the void.
The hidden magic barrier was broken silently.
Just as he thought, even after several days, the Empire still had heavy precautions here.
Lin Feng came here to fulfill Ryan Wood's last wish and take a last look at the place where he was born.
If it weren't for the Merlin family, and if it weren't for those grudges, and if he had safely finished his ten-year imprisonment, he should have returned here and reunited with his family.
Things are wrong.
Back here again.
It is an end and also a new beginning.
Broken furniture, torn portraits, rotten food.
These have witnessed the Wood family's prosperity and also their decline.
He came to a bedroom.
As soon as I walked in, I stepped on a cracked picture frame.
Inside the frame was a crumpled photo.
When Lin Feng saw the person in the photo, his brain seemed to be stabbed and he felt a little palpitated.
There are 4 people in the photo.
The little girl holding a teddy bear is Julie; the slightly taller boy next to her is Ryan Wood.
Behind them, there were two adults.
The man is dignified and stands straight; the woman is gentle and dignified with a pleasant temperament.
These should be Ryan Wood and his siblings and their parents.
Lin Feng took a photo, wiped off the dust on it, and carefully put it into the badge space.
He took two more steps forward and picked up the stuffed bear that had fallen on the ground.
Its arms were torn open, and the cotton inside had turned out and was stained.
This stuffed bear, which has been with Julie for more than ten years, still has the stitches at the corners of its mouth raised.
He put the teddy bear into the badge space and left the room.
Lin Feng walked and looked along the way.
From the garden you go to the kitchen, from the living room you go to the bedroom.
From the underground wine cellar to the cloakroom, from the study to the training room.
Perhaps the changes over the past decade are no longer what Ryan Wood remembers as a child.
But the people here are Ryan Wood’s family after all.
It was unknown how long he walked before Lin Feng looked at every corner of the manor.
It was only at this moment that he seemed to relax.
"I have a bad feeling."
Shenmu suddenly spoke.
Lin Feng frowned, he also had a very strange feeling.
Quiet, it's so quiet around here.
Even the chirping of insects around seemed to stop suddenly at some point.
Lin Feng put Sadie Maya's cloak back on.
He grabbed the wild boar from the pet space and placed it on his shoulder.
He stood in front of the door leading to the garden, and somehow felt that on the other side of the door, a pair of deep eyes were waiting for him.
"Squeak-"
The rusty metal door made a creepy sound.
The moment I opened the door, a figure was standing quietly in the garden on a rainy night.
The golden magician's hair cape exudes a firefly halo, and the magic wand inlaid with five-colored gems appears as colorful as neon in the field of vision.
He stood there quietly.
Like a big tree growing there, it has taken root for a long time.
Lin Feng's eyelids twitched constantly.
He sensed a very dangerous aura from the other person.
As long as he moved, the other party would kill him.
He had a hunch that the other party was coming for him!
"You are a prisoner who escaped from the Iron Jungle, killed a guard, and killed a red cardinal, three purple cardinals, and a white priest in Rogue Town. You actually have the courage to come back here. I admire you very much, Ryan Wood."
Although he had the face of a middle-aged man, his voice was old and hoarse with a slight tear.
His words were like a spell, shocking Lin Feng deeply.
Lin Feng's nerves were tense. He thought he had been extremely careful along the way.
Even Owen didn't know that he would come to the Wood family manor tonight, not to mention the Dale brothers and sisters who had separated long ago.
Who is this person in front of me?
Not only did he find him here, but he also saw through his true face beneath the mask.
Are there really magicians with such terrifying power in this world?
Unlike when facing Gellar Shirley, Lin Feng realized at the first moment that the visitor had ill intentions.
of course,
He was also very surprised to hear this accusation coming out of the other party's mouth.
He remembered that he did not kill the white-robed priest, and he only knocked out the two purple-robed cardinals who followed him into the Morgan Tower.
How come their deaths were all blamed on him in the end?
This pot is...
"Who are you?" Lin Feng held the sacred tree tightly, and the forbidden spell scroll was already in his hand.
This rhetorical question also acknowledges one's identity.
"James French, head of the Imperial Magic Corps."
"James French!"
"Franky!"
When they heard this name, Lin Feng and Shenmu both felt emotional.
Lin Feng remembered that in the letter left by Sadie Maya in Morgan Tower, a person named Franky was mentioned.
“…I regret to tell you that I did not think highly of my student Franky.
He could not resist the temptation offered by the Caesar Empire and joined the Imperial Magician Corps.
He is a good boy.
If one day we have to fight because of our position, I hope you can spare his life. "
Franky joined the Imperial Magician Corps, although his specific name was not mentioned.
But how could someone who could become the student of such a powerful magician as Sadie Maya be an ordinary person?
"That's impossible. I remember Franky's aura. This person's aura is completely different from Franky's."
Lin Feng was still recalling the words in his memory, while Shenmu beside him began to become confused.
Just then, Franky noticed the wand in Lin Feng's hand.
With just a hook of his fingers, the magic wand flew out of Lin Feng's hand and flew straight towards Franky.
"Give it back to me!" The sudden withdrawal was beyond Lin Feng's reaction.
Just as he was about to grab the sacred tree, his body stumbled and fell forward.
Two mud hands appeared under his feet and welded him to the ground.
Lin Feng formed his right hand into a claw and crushed the two mud hands directly.
When he looked up, Franky, who was ten meters away from him, was already standing in front of him.
A confused look on his face.
"Why is this wand in your hand?"
