Chapter 660: Chapter 240: Blood Destiny (Part 2)
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, right?”
“That giant sword in the sky, towering like a mountain not long ago, seed to be the Viscount himself…”
“Is that a nun’s attire? I heard the Church recently…”
“The young master of the Viscount Mansion seed to have returned from his travels too.”
The voices behind gradually faded away as the Hero quickened her pace, heading towards the direction of the Viscount Mansion.
In her mory, when she last left this place, the Viscount Mansion was still a heap of ruins.
Co to think of it, why did she co back to the countryside to be a nun after gaining her father’s recognition?
Was it to report to grandpa… but when she returned, grandpa had already set off on his journey.
A sense of vague fog lingered in her mind, but before the Hero could delve deeper into it, the familiar Viscount Mansion appeared at the end of her sight.

Not far away, the Viscount Mansion, which had been razed to the ground during the Hero’s sparring with her father, seed to have been restored to its forr grandeur and majesty as if ti had rewound, showcasing the battle mage’s glory.
However, with a little observation, one could still spot so rough areas on the architecture. Although it appeared unchanged from the past as a whole, the quick restoration couldn’t achieve perfection.
This ti, there was no need for psychological preparation for coming ho, as the Hero naturally passed through the array test at the gate, strolling inward.
“Miss!”
Seeing the Hero’s figure, the maid active in the courtyard let out an excited shout.
“The master also—” Seeing the Gleaming Scale Serpent behind the Hero, she quickly lowered her head, as the serpent gave a wry smile and waved its hand.
“Has brother returned?” The Hero, already accustod to the serpent’s strong resemblance to her father, asked about her brother’s news.
“Ah, concerning the young master…”
Realizing she had mistaken soone, the maid’s face showed slight embarrassnt, then she quickly adjusted her mood and seriously answered the Hero’s question.

After learning from the maid where her brother was, the Hero arrived at the large training ground behind the Viscount Mansion.
She had previously sparred with her brother here as well. This spell training ground, vast in area, although seemingly ordinary, was actually inscribed with nurous arrays, costing a considerable amount. The daily maintenance expenses are an astonishing figure, symbolic of the battle mage family.
Unlike the sowhat glossy mansion visible from the courtyard, the training ground clearly hadn’t been fully restored, with burn marks evident on the ground, and magic inscriptions only barely repaired to usable condition.
The Hero’s gaze fell on the center of the field.
Her brother stood upright there, with his back toward her, staring up at the sky, his silhouette sohow conveying a sense of lancholy.
This caused the Hero, who wanted to raise her hand to greet him, to hesitate and stop mid-action.
In her impression, her brother has always been calm and decisive, rarely swayed by emotions.
From a young age, he was never stumped by any issues, always displaying a cold yet confident deanor.
Even when facing failure or setbacks, he would not lant or sigh but rather bla his insufficient Strength and Wisdom, tackling challenges with effort and intelligence.
Even during their last sparring session when the Hero first defeated him, he rely acknowledged the gap calmly without showing any substantial emotional fluctuation.
But now…?
“Brother, sir?” The Hero hesitated for a few seconds before cautiously speaking.
“…You’re back.” Her brother did not turn around, only responding in a low voice.
“Yes, yes. By the way, where are father and mother? I haven’t felt their presence at ho…”
[The Hero’s father had a double Extre Failure! What happened?]
1.5. Tried countering a Forbidden Curse and failed
2.6. Was visited by the Divine Knowledge Saintess (?)
3.7. Was very satisfied with the effect of the Magic Origin Secret dicine
4.8. Ran away with a bunch of Forbidden Books
9. Disappeared
10. Great Success/Great Failure

♛: Disappeared
“I would like to know the answer to that question as well.”
Hearing her brother’s response, the Hero blinked in confusion.
“What do you an…”
“I an, I don’t know.” Her brother’s concise reply left more question marks floating above the Hero’s head.
“They disappeared without leaving any ssage.”
“Dis-, disappeared? But…”
The Hero felt unprecedented bewildernt, not knowing how to react, she glanced left and right.
She intended to ask if sothing unfortunate had happened, if the City Guard should be called to search…
But recalling her father’s magic power commanding the hurricane, even the worry faded away, leaving only confusion.
The Palace Battle Mage, Knight of the Kingdom, this Viscount Mansion symbolized the Hero family’s wealth and status.
How could such individuals possibly vanish mysteriously?
“Seeing your reaction, it’s clear they didn’t go to see you, but that is only natural…
“No one in the mansion has seen them for over a month, and no one knows where they went, so I can only act as the temporary Viscount.”
Having seemingly expressed the lancholy in his heart, her brother’s voice cald.
“I always knew that father was a carefree person, but I never imagined he could go this far.”
