Happy people from Blue Star

Chapter 4 Is the Widow of the Brave a Holy Relic?
Darkness is no longer fear and unknown, but has become a protective color.

The sound of iron hooves echoed in the woods. Wherever they passed, the chirping of insects and owls was silent. Only the whistling wind in his ears stimulated Hardy's adrenaline, made his heart beat faster, and felt extremely exciting.

Ability needs to be exercised to become stronger. What is the main ability of Nightmare Knight?
Riding, the manipulation and use of magic.

And summoning nightmares, transforming into dark heavy armor, requires the use of magic power.

Running wildly on a nightmare is practicing riding skills.

So Hardy is not simply looking for excitement by galloping horses, but is actually carrying out his own training.

He didn't want to be like the original body, who had no talent and no talent to start with, but lived like a waste.

Nightmare lives in the Demon Realm, and is good at absorbing dark magic elements. It will perform better at night...but it only lasts ten minutes longer than during the day.

About half an hour later, Hardy released his riding status, and Nightmare returned to the Demon Realm.

He held onto the tree trunk by the side of the road, panting heavily.

Without the 'juying' of the nightmare, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the stars and the moon reappeared.

Scattered spots of light brighten up in front, they are waves that are dizzy with the night wind, and the moon is reflected in the lake water, rippling leisurely.

In front of Hardy, a woman stood barefoot in the shallow water, holding up her black skirt and looking at him with a smile.

"Looks like you've got over your grief, kid."

She has long braided brown braids, and her green eyes are full of tenderness.

Hardy stood up straight and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, Aunt Sophie."

"Call my sister."

"Auntie."

Sophie gave Hardy an angry look, and she slowly walked up from the shallow water, her milky white feet were very conspicuous in the night.

She found a piece of bluestone and sat down gracefully, looked at Hardy again, and asked, "It's not good to scare people by running around at such a late hour."

Hardy understood that she should have seen the way he summoned the Nightmare Knight to run around just now.

"It probably didn't scare Aunt Sophie."

Sophie shook her head, and said amusedly, "I'm also the wife of a former brave man, so I'm pretty good at protecting myself."

Sophie Lynd, Ryan's mother, former wife of the brave.

It is said that he once fought and ventured with the former brave man and has a strong strength.

Of course, you can't tell from the outside. Sophie is beautiful, with a tall and plump figure, but her temperament is weak, her body doesn't have big muscles, and she doesn't have magical fluctuations.

Hardy speculates that her profession is linked to the Assassins.

"It's so late, what is Aunt Sophie doing here?"

"My mind was messed up and I couldn't fall asleep, so I came out for a walk." Sophie sighed, and then said emphatically, "You either call me sister, or just call me by my name. Do you think I'm old if you add 'auntie'?"

Skin as white as snow, without a trace of wrinkle, and a face as smooth as a peeled egg, no matter how you look at Sophie, she is only in her early 20s.

But she is indeed Ryan's biological mother.

The real age is at least 32 years old.

But she still looked so young. Hardy estimated that she should have the blood of the long-lived race, but she couldn't tell from the appearance.

Hardy was beside him, found a piece of bluestone to sit down, and asked, "Is it because of Ryan, can't you sleep?"

"Of course, he will go to practice in two days. As a mother, how can I rest assured."

"Forbid him to go out, that's fine."

Sophie played with her long side braid with her left hand, and sighed quietly: "No one can control and suppress the nature of the blood of the brave."

This is why Ryan had to go out for training at the age of 15. The blood instinct of the brave is at work.

Hardy has had a lot of contact with Sophie. Ever since he had 'memory', he, Ryan and Karina have been sticking together every day, often going to Ryan's house to play, and naturally meeting Sophie often.

In his 'impression', Sophie was cold, not to mention aloof, she was also a person who seldom spoke, and even her expression rarely changed.

She seems to be unhappy every day.

It seems normal to think about it carefully. The husband lost at such a young age. After hard work to raise the son, the son will have to follow the husband's old path in the future. How sad.

"It's time for me to go back." Sophie got up, put on her shoes, and said with a smile, "Lian will be worried after being out for too long, thank you for chatting with me, Hardy."

Then she left slowly.

Looking at Sophie's slender back, Hardy sighed in admiration.

I have to say that the former brave man has a good aesthetic vision. Not to mention Sophie's tall figure, she is still the kind of "slightly fat" that men like most, and her whole body exudes a charming style.

It fits Hardy's aesthetic very well.

It's a pity that my body is still too young, just over 15 years old, and the other party probably doesn't like a kid like me.

Hardy shook his head helplessly, then walked home.

In the manor, the red-haired maid Lilian was still waiting at the door, and when she saw the master coming back, she bent over to welcome her, her eyes sparkling.

Hardy knew that the light in a woman's eyes was called 'worship'.

Yuan Bo had never obtained such a gaze, never experienced it before.

But now Hardy can do it easily, because he is already a professional.

From then on, he was an extraordinary person, no longer an ordinary person.

Most of the women in the world belong to Mu Qiang, not to mention that Hardy is her master.

Back in the castle, under the service of the maids, bathed and dressed, and then had a good sleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by Lilian. After having breakfast, he and Jack rode in a carriage, took gifts, and walked to the center of the town.

The wheels of the carriage rattled and the body swayed slightly.

Steward Jack, while driving the carriage, turned his head and asked, "Little master, if we donate the blacksmith shop, we won't be able to make much money from the rest of the property. Should we dismiss some of the tenants and replace them with gray-skinned orcs?"

"Are gray-skinned orcs very cheap now, and is farming efficient?"

"I've heard people say that it's very useful, it's cheap, and you don't eat much. You're good at growing melons and kapoks, both of which are more valuable than food." Jack's voice was faintly excited: "They are also excellent soldiers when they are recruited."

"There are a lot of gray-skinned orc slaves in the country now?"

"I heard that some time ago, there were slave traders from the country of Ikaja. They shipped a large number of them by sea and gathered them in Wangcheng. It was very cheap and affordable."

Hardy thought for a while and said, "Let's forget it. If those tenants are replaced, where will they go to beg for food in the future, it's no wonder they don't starve to death."

The family now has a lot of fertile land, all of which are cultivated with the help of long-term tenants.

"You are really a kind master." Jack flattered Hardy sincerely, and then said: "Master, you have arrived at the gate of the castle of the Lord of Virginia, and you have to go in by yourself."

Ordinary people were not allowed to enter noble residences without being summoned.

Hardy picked up the beautiful wooden box and jumped out of the carriage.

In front of him was a castle that was many times larger than Hardy's house, and several soldiers in full armor were guarding the entrance.

"I'm Hardy, I'm here to meet the lord."

The soldier watched him carefully for a moment, and then the castle door opened slowly, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth.
