Pioneering

Chapter 116 The Tauren and the Receiver

"Miss Melanie, your dim sum is really memorable for me. May I have the honor to chat with you?"

"Of course, my lord, it is my honor."

"Well, Miss Melanie doesn't have to call me 'Lord Earl' all the time. Speaking of which, I can be considered your brother-in-law, so just call me 'Ming'."

"Brother-in-law?" Melanie's face changed slightly, thinking that Fiona and Nunnally had succeeded.

"Haha, yes, I have a very good relationship with your elder sister Kesha Lina."

"What? My lord, what do you mean, is my sister still alive?" Melanie asked excitedly.

"It seems that the relationship between Melanie and Kesarina is pretty good, no wonder Kesarina always talks about her." Zhong Ming's mouth slightly raised, thinking to himself.

"That's natural. It seems that Mr. Kelvin hasn't had time to tell you. At that time, I..."

After a conversation that was so eager that Kelvin couldn't get in the way, Zhong Ming and Melanie made an appointment to go to Devon County together in a few days, and Melanie also noticed Kelvin's extremely ugly wink, so she got up to leave.

"Mr. Kelvin, you really have an outstanding daughter." Zhong Ming said to him meaningfully.

"Ha, Your Excellency the Earl is overrated." Kelvin forced a smile.

"Mr. Kelvin doesn't have to call me so seriously all the time. We'll be a family soon, right? Just call me 'Ming'."

Kelvin saw that Zhong Ming's face didn't look humble, so he said smoothly:

"In this case, then I'll ask you, Ming, do you think you need an invitation to the dance?"

Zhong Ming readily accepted Kelvin's proposal, don't get me wrong, he doesn't really like women now, and he doesn't want to find any romance.

If he hadn't actively suppressed his vision, with his current divine body, he could even see the mites, stains, and dirt on everyone's face...

Just wondering if anyone can answer the three questions I asked myself to death.

Zhong Ming, who got the invitation letter from Kelvin, got up and was about to leave, but before he left, he was going to satisfy his little curiosity.

"Kelvin seems to be very dissatisfied with his own daughter Melanie, but he is very concerned about his two nominal stepdaughters. It's really strange." Zhong Ming learned about Kelvin's family situation during the conversation, Very curious about his abnormal behavior.

Facing this kind of weird family atmosphere, Zhong Ming really didn't have a good way in the past, he could only explore the truth bit by bit.

But now what?

I saw Zhong Ming's eyes suddenly burst into a heart-stopping light, stirring Kelvin's mind.

"Mr. Kelvin, can you tell me why you don't want to see Melanie?"

At the first level of spirit, Zhong Ming was able to temporarily hypnotize some people whose mental strength was far inferior to his own;
At the second level of spirit, it has acquired the characteristic of spiritual infection, which can increase its own appeal, and the group nature can slightly affect the subconscious mind of others, which is simply a missionary weapon.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhong Ming can preach violently.

Leaving aside the huge amount of mental power consumed by the influence of this group, it would be too much work to completely modify the subconscious mind of an intelligent life and turn it into a devout believer.

The consciousness of intelligent life is actually extremely complex and changeable.

However, it is more than enough to temporarily hypnotize Kelvin.

Kelvin replied in a trance:

"Why? Because she's a bitch, a bastard!
If it wasn't for Feinas' face, I would have raised her until now?

I didn't kill that bastard because I was kind!

Damn aristocrats, not a single good thing.

......"

Zhong Ming finished listening to the family ethics drama told by his prospective father-in-law with a strange expression.

To put it simply, Kelvin started as a white glove for Earl Hartman's family, smuggling some, um, humanoid multifunctional tools, ordinary ores that look like Zormo gold ore, and occasionally selling some weapon-shaped farming tools , in short, business is very desirable.

This is a dog for the nobles, except that the nature of the job is a little bit more dangerous, and it is not bad compared to the large number of low-level civilians who don't have enough food or clothing.

But the old Earl Hartman is an old pervert, a fan of thieves, and likes the wives of those who follow the unspoken rules.

When Kelvin took his wife Finas to a banquet similar to the year-end summary meeting, Finas was taken by the old Earl Hartman.

Drunken, the old Earl Hartman forcibly kept Feinas overnight, and a tauren came face to face.

That night, the old Earl Hartman was shot, and Feinas was directly impregnated.

But Kelvin, the sufferer, dared to be angry and dare not speak out, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, and had to "willingly" raise this child for the old Earl Hartman, that is, Melanie.

And he had to treat Melanie well, otherwise the old Earl Hartman was not a vegetarian.

Shortly after giving birth to Melanie, Finas died of depression.

Kesha Lina didn't know about this either, and treated Melanie as her own sister.

And coincidentally, not long after Finas's death, the Principality of Yige and the Principality of Andreia came to an all-out war.

Old Earl Hartman, as a rare bronze-blooded earth knight, was naturally obliged to go to the front line of the battlefield. The Principality of Yige also won a complete victory in the end, forcing the Principality of Andreoia to cede land and pay compensation.

However, wars always require sacrifices. Under the strong resistance of the Principality of Andreia, the old Earl Hartman honorably sacrificed for his country in the war.

Afterwards, in order to appease the hearts of the people, the Duke of Yige did not treat the Hartman family badly. The rewards were very generous, and even the princess married by the eldest prince was the sister of Earl Hartman.

But, as the illegitimate daughter of Melanie, few people knew her true identity except Old Hartman, Kelvin and Finas.

Little Earl Hartman didn't care that he had such a half-sister, no one cared how she was doing.

After a long time, Kelvin, who knew that his new master Hartman Jr. didn't know Melanie's background at all, naturally found it difficult to hide his hatred for Melanie in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that they had a little affection after all these years, Melanie's death would not have been impossible.

Later, Kelvin married his lover, Fana, who was raised outside, and returned home. After the illegitimate daughters Fiona and Nunnally came, Melanie's family status declined further and further.

If it weren't for the elder sister Kesarina's constant help, Melanie's life would be worse than that of a servant.

"No wonder Kesarina, Fiona, and Nunnally are blonde and blue-eyed, while Melanie is brunette with golden eyes;
It's no wonder that a bronze species can emerge from a pile of black iron species, it's really... dog blood. Zhong Ming expressed great sympathy for the experience of his prospective father-in-law.

Zhong Ming originally thought about helping his prospective father-in-law's family to reconcile the family conflicts, but now facing this complicated situation, he decided to just pretend he didn't know anything and leave it alone.

After a snap of his fingers made Kelvin forget the hypnosis experience just now, Zhong Ming decided to explore the miraculous oak tree first.

Zhong Ming was very curious about the tree when he observed the process of Melanie making a wish on the oak tree with his mental power just now.

A moment later, Zhong Ming, who had turned on the invisibility technique, stood under the oak tree, fully activated his divine perception, and carefully explored it.

"This feeling..." Zhong Ming thought in amazement.
