C116 Devil's Guardian

The Hill family, which had a longer history than the Reiss Empire, seemed to have been traced back to three thousand years ago.

Lee Xiang sat in a secret chamber in Sophie's courtyard. He flipped through a book about the history of the Hill family.

Sophie was sitting opposite him. She was holding her chin with one hand and staring at Lee Xiang.

Before the establishment of the Reiss Empire, there were no records of the Hill family's history. They only roughly mentioned some insignificant things. After the establishment of the Reiss Empire, it was slightly more detailed.

In the family records of the Hill family, Lee Xiang learned that in recent years, every patriarch of the Hill family seemed to be closely related to every country on the continent. Lee Xiang noticed a very interesting characteristic. When a country on the continent was strong. . . Their family would be most active in any country. Of course, most of their time would be in Reiss Empire.

Lee Xiang noticed that the Hill family had been depressed for a long time. This period of time was basically a blank.

Until the appearance of Tre. Hill forty years ago, which was also Sophie's grandfather. Only then did this change the situation, allowing the Hill family to climb to the peak of the Empire's power. Originally, this pinnacle could continue to exist. Because Sophie's father was also an important position in the Empire's military. But unexpectedly, when Sophie was three years old, his father died mysteriously.

This incident had caused a huge sensation in the empire at that time. Many people suspected that this matter was strange, but at that time, Trey surprisingly did not do anything. Instead, he unexpectedly announced his resignation from the Empire's Marshal position. However, he was rejected by Wells III.

This series of strange events had aroused Lee Xiang's great interest in the Hill Family.

Unfortunately, this only recorded the events that happened, but did not explain the reason in detail.

He flipped to the last page, and according to convention, Every patriarch would leave behind a comment at the end. The messages left by all the chiefs of the Hill Family did not arouse Lee Xiang's interest, because what they said was just some explanation left by the next patriarch before he died. It was nothing more than to not forget the cause and mission of the family. However, Lee Xiang noticed a very important point. Because he noticed that the few patriarchs in front of him had always firmly believed in the mission of their family, but as time passed, The further they went, the more suspicious the Hill family's leader became about their family's so-called mission. And the last few completely vetoed their family's mission.

What mission was it? Lee Xiang was slightly curious.

But Trey's comment had aroused Lee Xiang's interest. He didn't know if there would be any hints. Thinking of this, Lee Xiang's gaze fell on the last page of Trey's handwritten book.

For thousands of years, I have always wondered if the so-called mission passed down from the Hill family's generation still exists. In order to prove this matter, I did not hesitate to use decades to prove all of this. In the end, it proved that I was wrong, very wrong, and the price I paid was the life of my only son!

Great master! I, Trey Hill, sincerely confess to you here. I shouldn't doubt your existence! I shouldn't have betrayed your promise! Please forgive my ignorance, I solemnly swear to you. From now on, the Hill Family will be your servant for generations. Follow your will and protect your property. Until eternity!

Please use your sacred eyes to look at your lowly servant. If you swear upon this oath, you will be doomed beyond redemption!

Trey Hill!

He looked at the line of red and shocking signatures. It was a blood letter. Lee Xiang was shocked in his heart, and then his gaze landed on Sophie's face opposite him.

He needed an answer. Or perhaps he wanted to know what these things had to do with him?

Sophie gently got up and walked to Lee Xiang's side. At the same time, she stretched out her hands and gently grabbed Lee Xiang's slender hands. Her beautiful eyes rotated and finally landed on the line of shocking blood books.

Sighing slightly, Sophie gently said, "For thousands of years, there has been an extremely mysterious legend in Osman Continent. It was said that after the devil on this continent was defeated by the Goddess, before he was defeated, he left two forces on this continent and helped him protect the property that would make a comeback in the future. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded his head. He had heard of this legend before, but he didn't take it seriously at that time. It was because this legend had never come true until today. And now, it seemed to have been gradually forgotten by the world. So all this time, he had only treated this legend as a joke. He did not expect to hear about this today. How could he not be curious? And the most terrible thing was that. . . It seemed to have something to do with him.

"You mean the Hill family is one of the guardians?" Lee Xiang said a little excitedly.

"That's right!" Sophie nodded, her eyes full of determination.

"What about the other guardian?" Lee Xiang asked curiously.

"The other guardian, you should be able to guess it!" Sophie sighed slightly. "He is the Wester family on the continent that is as rich as an enemy country!"

Lee Xiang was greatly moved. In other words, these two families were actually doing it for the sake of the same family, and they were both under Sophie's control, because she was now the only heir to these two families. Then this matter would be very interesting.

"What exactly are they protecting?"

"What else can they protect? In this world, other than wealth and power, what else is worth waiting for?" Sophie sighed slightly. Her eyes were filled with fatigue. It seemed that she, a woman, had been bitterly supporting such a shocking secret all these years. It had been tough on her. "But it's good now, because you've appeared! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The task that the two families have been bitterly waiting for for for thousands of years can finally be temporarily put to an end! As long as I successfully hand him over to you, then my task can be considered to be half completed. . . "

Lee Xiang was very helpless. " I really don't understand. What does this have to do with me? And how can you be sure that this person is me? "

Sophie lowered her head and looked at Lee Xiang. She held his hand and gently said, "I originally could not be sure, but your hand told me that you were not wrong!"

This reason seemed to be too far-fetched, right? Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. Sophie continued, "You saw it just now too. Back then, my grandfather once suspected that the mission of the family was a joke, so when he took the position of marshal, He forgot a lot of responsibilities and duties, and even completely threw them to the back of his mind. Just as he was feeling proud of himself, My father, his only son suddenly lost his life. . . This reminded him of the promise that the family had made in the past! And it was precisely because of this promise that he lost his only son. At the same time, in another family. . . The Wester family also had the same problem as my grandfather. They also forgot what they should do. The price they have to pay is my nominal husband. He was no longer alive before I married him! And this price is the punishment that their shared master has given them. Because they forgot that everything they obtained was actually not something they painstakingly earned, but something that their shared master gave them! And this is a warning to them. Since he can give it, at the same time, he can naturally take it back! Furthermore, he can even take it back with interest. "

Lee Xiang was shocked when he heard this, because he suddenly remembered something that had a lot to do with him.

"When my grandfather passed away, Wester also experienced something that was unforgettable to his family. So at the same time, they realized what the problem was. Originally, my grandfather had tacitly allowed me to marry into the royal family. In the end, he changed his mind and married me to the Wester family, hoping to use this to save the family. . . "

Sophie's face turned gloomy.

Lee Xiang was very confused. "Since your husband was not alive before the celebration, why did you marry a dead man? This is not fair to you. And your child. . . "

"This is only to protect my life and also to better complete the mission of the two families. . . I am not very clear about the specifics. I only know that they are following the orders of their common master! As for that child, he is not my child at all!" Sophie's pretty face turned slightly red. " Because on the first day of my marriage, my grandfather and father-in-law told me. I didn't marry him at all. It was someone else, but in order to avoid those hateful nobles, All these years, I have been traveling all over the continent, looking for him!" Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "This person can't be me, right?"

Sophie's pretty face turned red again. This time, it was even more serious than before. Even her slender jade neck was filled with red. After making a slight sound of En, she lowered her head. She said in a low voice. "So from today onwards, everything in these two families will be yours, including. . . Me!"

The last sentence was really tempting to Lee Xiang. Looking at Sophie's blushing face, Lee Xiang felt that it was absurd. To be honest, he didn't mind marrying a beautiful woman like Sophie, not to mention that she had never married anyone before. Even if she had married before, a woman like her was still a hot commodity on the continent. Although she seemed to be almost ten years older than him, But with Lee Xiang's experiences as a person in his two lives, his age was actually not far away. Furthermore, from his current state of mind, Sophie was actually no different from a little girl in front of him. However, she was suddenly arranged to have a wife for no reason at all. He also felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Sophie was very anxious when she saw Lee Xiang looking at her with a complicated expression. She asked softly, "What's wrong? You don't want to? Or do you dislike that I am much older than you, or have I married someone before. . . "

Lee Xiang sighed slightly and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Madam has misunderstood. With Madam's beauty and qualifications, these are not obstacles. I think as long as it is a man, he would not reject such temptation. Lee Xiang himself is still a man. . . But I do not understand. Madam is certain that I am the person you are waiting for because of her special hands. What if she is wrong? So it would be best if Madam sees it clearly. You must know that there is no medicine for regret in this world!"
