Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

Herbert's feelings for Alan are strange. He cares about Alan's existence, and he is curious about Alan, a human being who has the courage to approach dark creatures. I am also impressed by the other party's talent, and have a good impression of the other party's patience and seriousness.

But that good impression should be far from the so-called "love".

Herbert has been duplicity all the year round, hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and he erected his thorns all over his body, so that people other than his family would not dare to approach him.

Allen is an exception.

Seeing the return of the temporary mentor who had "extraordinarily cared for" him before, there is actually a young man next to him who attracts the other party's attention and "caring" more than himself, and finds that the attention he has received has been reduced for no reason. Not too happy.

However, when he thought about it carefully, his anger didn't seem to make much sense, so he was speechless and unhappy in silence.

As for the bad moves of his elder brothers such as "night attack", although Herbert took the key, he was not ready to put it into practice—he took Alan's key all night, and did not start slowly until this morning , It was because I waited for a long time after knocking on the door and no one came to open the door, so I used the key to enter the door with a sense of guilt, wanting to see the situation.

... Then I discovered the fact that Allen spent the night in Eli's room last night.

Upstairs study.

Neil led Alan and Eli into the study room, but the first thing he did was not to invite them to sit down. He slightly apologized and asked Alan and Eli to wait for a while, then he walked to the bookcase and waved his hand. Take the Vaal scepter with the Vaal emblem engraved on it.

A magic circle in the shape of Val's family emblem suddenly appeared on the bookcase. Neil tapped the center of the magic circle with the top of the scepter in his hand, and the magic circle opened from the center, revealing an entrance for one person to pass through.

"This is?" Allen received a signal from Neil to invite them in, but he didn't leave immediately.

Neil had a peaceful aura around him, and he didn't show any malice. This entrance is probably safe and harmless, but to be on the safe side, Allen first asked the other party's intention to open this passage.

"I know the doubts that are entrenched in your hearts." Neil said so.

Perhaps because he was satisfied with Alan's attitude of never making a fuss, Neil had a vague sense of relief on his face, and he continued: "About Mr. Are you confused by this experiment log book?"

The race conversion for unknown reasons, and the experimental record book that seemed to be placed there deliberately by someone, Neil pointed out the two issues that Alan and Eli are most concerned about right now.

Patriarch Val, who already has three sons, still has a youthful face. He stands opposite Alan and Eli, looking at the two young people quietly. Alan is about the same age as Eli.

Before the young man in front of him answered, Neil first learned the answer from the expressions of Alan and Eli, and he smiled slightly: "I am very happy to answer your doubts and share all the information I know with you, but It's not a good place to talk, it's not private enough."

As Neil said, he tapped the entrance formed by the magic circle with his scepter: "You two, please follow me. Behind this is the secret room of the Vaal family. It can provide us with a suitable place to talk."

After speaking, Neil turned around and walked into the entrance first, leaving his back generously to the two young men.

Eli glanced at Allen hesitantly.

The black-haired young man only pondered for a few seconds, then patted Eli on the shoulder, motioning for Eli to follow.

Follow Neil through the circle, behind the circle is a long corridor, but it is not dark.

As soon as Eli stood on the ground of the corridor, he discovered that this place, like the old library in Black Academy, was a magical space built on the energy of elements.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with portraits. The portraits are not neatly arranged, but they are not messy. The round and square frames are large and small, and they are hung on the walls in a random order, becoming a nostalgic decoration.Below those picture frames, there is a row of display cabinets that rise from the base of the wall and are placed against the wall. Those display cabinets are uniform in size, about half the height of an adult male, and there are items that require an adult to bend slightly to see clearly.

Allen took a cursory glance and found that there were all sorts of strange things inside. If there is something in common with those items, it is that they are all engraved with the family crest of the Val family.

"This is the storage memorial gallery of Val's house." Neil led the way ahead. He noticed that the two people behind him were looking at the corridor, and deliberately slowed down his pace to give Allen and Eli more time to look at it. He explained to them the items on display here, "On the walls are the portraits of the deceased members of the family, and in the display cabinets are the family collections and important personal items of the deceased members."

Walking through this rather long corridor is like walking through a three-dimensional family history of the Val family. Allen followed Neil's explanation and looked at the items one by one. They walked for a long time before finally arriving at this corridor head.

At the end of the corridor is a carved wooden door that has been opened, and a warm lamp has been lit inside.

Neil invited Alan and Eli into the door, and the arrangement behind the door was unexpectedly warm.

The floor is covered with soft and delicate flower-woven carpets, a long sofa and two single-seat small sofas are placed around the small tea table in the middle, and three sets of tea sets have been prepared on the coffee table, and there is also a book that was half seen by someone. After opening, he turned the book on the table upside down.

Not far from the sofa is the fireplace. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is past the time to light it, but it is not difficult to imagine that when the cold winter visits the earth again, sitting on the small sofa near the fireplace, drinking tea and reading a book , how comfortable and leisurely it is.

If this place is called a "secret room", then the "Val" who first built it must be a person who enjoys life very much.

Allen looked at the layout here, but felt vaguely familiar.
