Chapter 26
Medanzuo freed his hand that was nailed to the bed by cutting his own palm.Although the blade Sean chose was narrow, it still caused him a lot of damage.A hand bone and ligament were severed.
When doing this action, Medan Zuo took several breaths.He heard the slight "snap" when the stretchy ligaments were stretched and severed, and he heard the tooth-piercing sound of the knife rubbing against the bone.The pain made him physically uncomfortable, but these voices made him feel uncomfortable too.
Medanzo had hurt others in this way, when the dissonances had pleased him.The pain and fear of others made him feel extra safe, and that attitude of respect and awe was like a good medicine for anxiety.Now he knew firsthand how bad it was; while he wasn't intimidated, he had to admit, it was really bad.
With his hands free, Medanzo began to use healing magic until his badly cut hand stopped bleeding and the wound was nearly healed.But his fingers still didn't work.Mei Danzuo knew that it took time to recover from a broken bone, and it was useless to be anxious.So he turned to dealing with the whip wounds on his body.
Sean had bruised his wrists and neck in his rage, and the wounds would be exposed.It was humiliating and unbearable to be seen.Moreover, Medan Zuo will have dinner with his grandfather who just returned tomorrow morning, if the other party finds out, then he will hear the old saying again - "You have disappointed the Levin family."
This sentence runs through the entire past life of Medanzuo.Even when he hit ten rings in a row and could perfectly control magic to attack, his grandfather would say that because of the joyful expression on his face at that time.
Thinking of his grandfather, Medanzuo gave a short laugh.This smile is mocking and bitter.His parents have long since passed away, his brother was taken away by his uncle to practice, and the only relative he has been with for the longest time is his grandfather.Of course he respected and appreciated his grandfather, but he always felt very uncomfortable when he was with him.
In Medanzo's eyes, grandfather and Sean have the same frightening qualities: Sean never compromises, like a raging river, dangerous and full of vitality; while grandfather is the victor in several changes of the times, It's like a combination of multiple weapons, not only full of fighting power, but also so cold that it doesn't look like a real person.
Mei Danzuo withdrew his thoughts and looked at himself in the mirror.Almost all the wounds have been treated, except for the three letters carved on the chest.The thin point of the knife formed a thin wound.They had stopped bleeding and would leave no trace in a few days.Mei Danzuo hesitated for a moment, but decided to ignore this somewhat shameful scar.Excessive use of magic drained his energy, and, for some reason, he wanted to keep Sean's name in his heart.
Medanzo stood there.He was wounded and insulted by civilians, but he was very peaceful.A long-lost sense of security filled his heart.Of course, it wasn't because he was beaten and insulted by Sean, but because he got someone who was interested—even if the other person didn't want to.
Medanzo was restless, as he had been for a long time.He is obeyed and feared by others, but he often feels that this gorgeous castle is not his home, and the gorgeous dome will collapse at any time to bury him and keep him from seeing the sun.The abuse of his servants allowed him to temporarily ignore the fear in his heart, but he knew very well that the fear never disappeared.
This feeling started when his father's body was brought back.The Duke who led the fleet to compete with neighboring countries for maritime sovereignty was attacked and fell into the sea on a rainy night, and was sent back wrapped in the national flag.The whitened corpse and protruding eyes made him tremble and want to run away when he was young, but the adults pushed him and forced him to go to the front.His fears were heightened by the fact that his mother had shot herself in front of him.After apologizing to the young Medanzo, the crying woman shot in the head, and the gunpowder blasted her beautiful head into a bloody mess.
Medanzo wanted to ask his grandfather more than once if he understood his confusion, but he never did.What didn't the wise old man know?Just don't care.Panic is useless, and displays of affection are forbidden.He remembered that his mother had said to obey everything his grandfather taught him, and he followed suit, acting like a nobleman in any public place.But his uneasy mood almost burst his body, but no one was willing to help him when he was struggling—he never asked outsiders for help.
But it's different now, and in the near future, I won't feel uneasy anymore.Medanzo told himself.I've met someone who attracts me, puts me at ease, has him, and keeps him focused on me.But I have to make him come to me willingly.His hateful eyes made me very uncomfortable.
There is no need to probe into his own feelings anymore, Medanzuo thought, when he got that person... "I feel very safe."

"I think he's sick."
Sean stopped and looked at the barges and canoes parked on the river.It was late at night, and the river looked black, which made people feel uneasy.He whispered to himself, "God, it's really hard for me to understand how an honest and pure person can be."
"If you want to study psychology, you can go to the library of my alma mater. I can take you in." Francis walked to him and suggested seriously: "Books are not loaned out, but you can read them there."
"Forget it. If I want to understand perverts, it means that something is wrong with me. I might as well look at the information about semi-automatic machinery, which is useful for self-made weapons. That's right," Sean continued to move forward , changed the subject: "Why are you waiting for me outside the courtyard of Levin's house?"
"I followed you from that fat man's mansion all the way here." Francis smiled kindly: "I knew when I saw the Levin family's airship that if you were caught, Medanzo would definitely take you away. It's deep, and I don't worry about it."
"Thank you." Sean said gratefully, "But you don't have to come. Awakening the masses requires collective power, and saving individuals only requires personal power."
Francis smiled and shook his head. "It's necessary. You seem to be in a bad mood. I haven't helped you before. Do I want my brother to walk alone at night in a sullen mood? Of course not."
Sean laughed.This friendly man is effective at comforting himself most of the time. "Because something unpleasant happened, I..."
"Needless to say." Francis quickly stopped him: "I don't know what happened to you at Medanzo, and I don't want to know. I don't have the pleasure of picking other people's wounds. Anyway, you can survive alone. You are much stronger than me .”
"You seem to have experienced many things." Sean looked at the young man who had made him curious for a long time. "But I know almost nothing about you. Sometimes I suspect that you have noble blood, because you are better at 'magic' than any commoner I know who has a talent for magic."
"I understand that you hope that I come from a prominent family, put aside my arrogance and stand with the common people, and even plan to pull other noble people over. This way, the revolution will be easier. Unfortunately, I am not. My parents Regular academics. My twin sister and I are both interested and gifted in magic, and were famous for it in college."
Sean listened with interest.He is also interested in magic, unfortunately, the efforts of the two lifetimes have proved that he has no talent for this. "Does your sister know you're a member of the Crow? Or maybe she's just like you..."
Sean's words stopped abruptly.He looked at Francis in surprise and a little horror.This handsome young man is always high-spirited, and his deep blue eyes are always full of optimism and energy.But now the other party's expression quickly dimmed like an extinguished gas lamp, and his eyes were covered with a layer of despair.
Sean is a curious person, but he will never let his companion chew the pain repeatedly to satisfy his curiosity.Francis' expression put him off. "Let's not talk about that anymore."
"Yes, we're talking about business. I'm waiting for you to tell you the good news." Francis quickly recovered, smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder. "A colleague of mine wanted to investigate and publish a report on the doll incident. He suspected that Earl Alan had started stealing 'sources'. Boys have gone missing from time to time over the years, and his own son was one of them. He was with Madam searched for nothing, thinking that the child was abducted by foreigners, but your successful speech made him think of new possibilities."
Sean frowned: "No matter how despicable Alan is, he is still an earl. Will he use this method?"
"Very likely. In recent years, very few people are poor enough to sell their children, but the doll business has not disappeared, so where did the baby boy come from? According to my colleagues, his son is very beautiful, with the embryonic body of a beautiful woman." His face, eyes are big and bright, like a deer. Perhaps it is all because the child is so beautiful that the earl's subordinates abducted him in a fever."
"That's not funny." Sheen glanced at Francis. "Being pretty is not his fault, nor is it an excuse for others to commit crimes."
Francis shrugged: "Well, I shouldn't be joking at this juncture. Anyway, he went to the escort to ask other families who had lost baby boys, intending to find out the truth. Now the public is aroused and wants to know more If he really proves his conjecture and writes a report, the boss will let the article appear in the newspaper. In the past, the ruling class turned a blind eye to what the earl did, but when the facts are revealed to the public, the government is forced to You have to do something under pressure. Let me think about it, slavery in disguise, torture and abduction of boys, this can be punished with multiple crimes..."
Shane stopped abruptly. "Do you know where your colleague lives?"
"Of course. What's the matter?" Francis also stopped and looked at Sean.
"Earl Alan is very concerned about the doll business. Now that things are getting serious, he still wants to continue the business." Sean explained hastily: "If he gets the news, you think he will let the couple live ?"
