Chapter 80 Joyce’s Memories (Thanks to Beginning of Legend for the 5,000 starting coin reward!)


    The Kane family mansion in memories.


    A middle-aged man was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, his face was inexplicably flushed, and he looked like he was terminally ill.


    ?Beside the bed sat a young man whose appearance was vaguely similar to that of the housekeeper Joyce.


    “Ahem, I look really ugly, Joyce, don’t you dislike me?”


    The man on the hospital bed was still in the mood to joke, but Joyce beside him looked very sad.


    ?Joyce looked at Viscount Kane on the bed, not wanting to see that his brother, who had grown up with him and was as close as a brother, was about to die.


    ??The serious internal injuries caused by the failure to break through the legend cannot be treated by Joyce. More importantly, Brandon''s magic source has completely collapsed, and even the legendary priest can''t make a difference here.


    What''s more, he is just a legendary assassin. Joyce has never felt so powerless.


    “Hey, don’t look like that. Why do you look more uncomfortable than me?”


    “You also know my situation. Although it is excessive, this is the first and last time.”


    “I actually had a premonition that the breakthrough would fail, but I still couldn’t hold it back. After all, it is the most important and alluring secret of the family.”


    “After I die, the children Joyce and Liz will be left in your care!”


    “His mother passed away early, and I was obsessed with magic and didn’t take good care of him.”


    “Ahem~, the inheritance of the Kane family will be left to you!”


    “If Li Si has this talent, then pass it on to him.”


    “If he can’t pass it on, leave it to the little girl I brought back!”


    “Let her inherit Kane’s name and continue the family’s legacy.”


    “As for the kid Li Si, even though he is just hiding things from others, his status as Viscount of the Palace of Fes is enough for him to live a stable life.”


    “Just spend this life in peace.”


    “Growing up, getting married, and having children of my own, it’s a pity that I can’t see these anymore.”


    “Cough cough cough!”


    ? Brandon coughed violently several times on the bed. His body was like an old bellows, about to reach the end of his life.


    ?Joyce stood up and wanted to pour Brandon a glass of hot water, but he grabbed his wrist.


    ?Joyce had never felt that Brandon was so strong.


    “I don’t have time.”


    ??? Brandon ignored the dark red blood coughed out of the corner of his mouth and stared at Joyce closely.


    “I’m sorry, Joyce, I’m going to break my promise.”


    “Li Si, I’m leaving it to you!”


    ?Suddenly, Brandon''s hand suddenly let go, and he fell onto the bed as if he had lost all his strength.


    ?Joyce’s outstretched hands were frozen in mid-air, looking up at the ceiling above his head, as if he didn’t want Brandon to see his weakness at this moment.


    —


    ?Butler Joyce emerged from the trance of memories and shook his head.


    How to maintain the appearance of an old man? I also like to reminisce.


    ? ? Counting on the fact that I was adopted by the Kane family and met Brandon for the first time, it is only over fifty years ago. Among the legends, I am still a young man!


    ?However, looking at Li Si now, one can think of Brandon and himself in their prime and high spirits at that time.


    ?Then it’s decided, Xiao Lisi has already embarked on this path, and the master will also hope that I will do the same.


    ?Joyce walked towards the dining room of the mansion with a few pieces of new mail that arrived this morning.


    Today’s breakfast is butter-fried fish, Northland smoked chicken and fried eggs with hash browns, as Liszt specially ordered.


    ?There is no need to worry about not being able to finish the meal. Li Si also specifically asked the kitchen to prepare more. With Angela, a big eater, he can handle it all. In the past two days, Li Si also discovered that Angela is really a homebody.


    Just when I came out of the mausoleum, I was quite excited and walked around.


    When the freshness wears off, it starts to return to its salted fish state.


    Eat and sleep, sleep and eat!


    ?At first, Li Si thought it was because she had not recovered from the battle.


    But when I asked yesterday, Angela still looked at her with a very puzzled look. Didn’t that small injury heal quickly?


    Okay, you have a Duke-level vampire heart, you are awesome!


    After sucking casually, it is recovered. After all, it is close to the legendary vampire. Angela is far from being able to digest the blood essence of it.


    Now, Angela has two hobbies.


    One is to sleep on your heart or on top of your head;


    The other one is to eat delicious food and compete with Li Si for rice.


    ??Li Si tasted the butter-grilled fish made by his own chef. It was tender and fragrant, and the slight touch of salt and black pepper was the finishing touch.


    ?While Li Si was enjoying the food, the housekeeper Joyce walked to Li Si as usual and put the recent letters on the table.


    ??Li Si glanced at it and found that this time they were all irrelevant invitations, so he asked Joyce to handle them all for him.


    ?But this time Joyce did not leave, but stood beside Lis and said:


    “Master, the servants found some magic books yesterday when they were cleaning the mansion. I asked them to be sent to the master’s library. Do you want to go and take a look?”


    Magic book!


    ?This is good stuff. Li Si has been studying all kinds of magic books recently and has almost finished reading all the books he has here.


    ?But, my father’s library


    To be honest, Li Si had no impression of the former Viscount Kane, who had never been masked, and there was no memory of him.


    Li Si had an impression of the library. All the Kane family''s books were stored there, as were the magic books.


    The predecessor went to pick up some magic books once, but most of them were still kept there under the supervision of special personnel.


    have to! I''m just going to check out what magic books there are. It would be great if there are magic books related to magic patterns.


    ??Li Si, who has been studying magic patterns in recent days, thought to himself.


    ?Grab Angela''s short legs and lift her up, carrying her towards the library.


    ? Angela ignored the resistance and worked hard to stuff the last big chicken leg into her mouth, making her mouth full of oil.


    —


    The library is on the innermost side of the top floor of the mansion.


    ??Li Si put Angela, who had finished eating the chicken drumsticks, on his head, then opened the door and entered.


    ?The faint fragrance of ink fills the room, and the morning sunlight shines in from the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows. It feels like time has slowed down here.


    The books on the rows of bookshelves are neatly placed without any dust. It seems that the administrator of the library is very responsible!


    ??I wonder where Joyce put the magic book?


    ?Li Si searched on the bookshelf in front of him.


    "Basic Potion Preparation"


    "On the skills of controlling the four basic elements"


    "Higher Theory of Elements - Basics"


    "Two or three things that the princess and I have to say"


    Sure enough, there are many types of books, but many of them are of little use to Li Si now.


    ?Handily, he took out the last two books he had just seen and put them under his arm, but his love of learning made Li Si unable to refuse the temptation of knowledge.


    At this moment, a cold and melodious female voice suddenly sounded from behind the bookshelf.


    "Who are you?"


    Thank you all for your support,_(:з　∠)_


    This is the last pursuit of reading!
