Chapter 302: Under the Mist (11)

As if, it was a pleasant response, and Hugh suddenly appeared. So, a dramatic scene happens in Luna's eyes.

Emerging from the side door to the east of the castle, Hugh stepped onto the stone path that led to the north of the castle. Then Luna sees Hugh talking to the timber-picking hire.

"Hey, why are you dragging your feet, Mr. Betsy will be back soon. You'd better do as I say, pack your tools, and go back to your rooms. Hugh straightened his waist and pinched his hands around his waist, as if conveying a command.

"Hugh, who told you to convey the words?" asked a middle-aged man wrapped in a brown turban.

"Perry, Mr. Butler. Hugh said in a hoisted voice.

However, Luna saw it, as Hugh coughed. "This kid, you don't have the confidence to speak at all?" Luna thinks Hugh is coughing because Hugh lied. When Hugh is seen looking for her, Luna understands one thing: Hugh is doing it to buy time.

It was clear that Hugh knew where Luna was hiding. It was for this reason that Luna was reminded by Hugh with her eyes. Then, Luna tugged at the vines in front of her to shield herself from being spotted by the hired workers who were more than ten meters away. Despite the slight movement, Luna is surprised to see the vines fall overhead. She had to dodge to the right, and if she didn't, the needles in the vines would have to hurt her when she couldn't use magic easily.

"Oops......" It wasn't Luna, but Hugh who exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" another young man with an axe stood up suddenly. He subconsciously turned around and glanced at where Hugh was looking.

The corner of the northeast wall became the focus of attention in an instant. Thankfully, Luna couldn't help but use her magic. If you were an ordinary person, you would have been discovered a long time ago because of the use of magic.

"It's nothing, a weasel, or some crow or something......" Hugh shrugged his shoulders and said vaguely. In fact, he did see Luna crouching down. But Hugh seemed to be happy to help someone who wanted to discover Mr. Betsy's secrets.

"Well, since you say so, let's do it. Anyway, you kid never lied. The man in the brown turban was a little unhappy.

In the past, Hugh had never done anything to convey orders in a serious manner. Moreover, after Susan and Luna arrive at the manor, Hugh is a bit of an anomaly. Not only do they help the able-bodied men carry logs in the backyard, but they also do the work of skinning. It stands to reason that Hugh, who was one of Mr. Betsy's closest men, should not have done such drudgery, and now and now he was doing thankless work from time to time. If they were other people, they would not be happy with Hugh's performance, and they would think that Hugh was supervising Mr. Betsy.

Luckily, Hugh turned around before the young man with the axe could shout. Hugh walked away slowly, and this was another scene that Luna saw. Luna believes that Hugh reluctantly steps forward because he fears that the hired workers will not be obedient. Either way, Luna breathed a sigh of relief. She guessed that maybe after a while, all the hired people in front of her would leave.

To be cautious, Luna doesn't plan to break in. Therefore, using the black mist to explore the secrets of the wood pile is also something she can't do. It was night, but the hired hands were not so stupid as to ignore the wind.

It was about half an hour before Luna saw one hire after another leave with their tools. Without the light of the torches, Luna was bolder. She left the corner and returned to the gravel path in the backyard. This gravel road loops around the castle and has no branches in the backyard. So, in order to check the pile of wood, Luna has to step onto the potholed dirt.

"How are these hired men splashing dirty water everywhere?" Luna didn't care about the potholes in the forest, but she couldn't stand the man-made dirty puddles. Now, her black robes trimmed with gold and silver were splashed with muddy water. Damn the night—she almost cursed, but thankfully buried it in her heart.

There was a pile of wood in front of her, and Luna clinged to the stacks of wood stacked in a north-south direction, all the way to the north wall. Just as a gust of cold wind passed, Luna suddenly turned into a black mist and vanished.

In a state of black fog, Luna hides in the pile of wood she just passed. Although the sound was quiet, Luna heard footsteps. It was a light step with a crisp sound, and Luna thought it was a lady walking this way. As Luna's eyes widen in the darkness, she notices a cloud of black mist appear three steps away.

"What about those guys?" said the voice from the man who had stepped out of the black fog. Luna almost held her breath as she saw Mister Betsy who had just used her dark magic.

"Those guys ......" the lady who spoke was submissive, "it must be Hugh ......"

"Hugh, I don't think these people are going to work. Belton said. He carried a cane that smelled of fragrance and knocked on the gravel path.

In Luna's eyes, the short cane in Mister Betsy's hand was black, just enough to support Mr. Betsy's palm. But what happened to Belton? The strange fluctuation of mana surprised Luna. She had an indescribable complex feeling in her heart, as if she could feel an aura that seemed to be fighting but not fighting. Could it be that Belton made a deal? Luna, just guessing. But when will the lady standing on the east corner and the Belton in front of her leave?

I don't know how long it took, but Luna couldn't even count. In the past few days, Luna has been sleeping well every day, but in fact she is doubly vigilant. She used all kinds of methods to reassure Susan, but she spent a lot of energy designing defenses herself. Before, what she had done when she left the room was only one of them.

What was she looking for?, Luna became more and more anxious. She waited, but did not see Belton and the lady leave. She even found that Belton didn't know when he was holding a flat-bottomed silver wine glass.

"This thing, outdated. Mr. Betsy said. He was talking about the contents of the cup, and he was talking to himself, facing the north wall.

So, where did the cane go? Luna began to search. First of all, she looked at the lady, who stood there with her hands folded and did not move. Then she looked at Mr. Betsy, and there was no cane. When she saw a leaf fall under the north wall, she understood where the cane had gone.

The staff was used by Mr. Betsy as a magic key. As for how to use it, it is to have the cane stand under the wall and watch as the cane turns into a flowering loquat tree.

"So, the place where the key is placed is, of course, the magic door. Luna's mood improved slightly.

Originally, Luna wanted to wait for Mr. Betsy to open the door of magic, but she didn't expect Mr. Betsy to say a word directly.

"My honored guest, where are you hiding? The premise for this cane to be the key is to open a trap. Mr. Betsy said solemnly, turning his back to the pile of lumber where Luna was hiding.

"Huh, was discovered?"

There was a flash of disdain in her heart, Luna had no intention of showing up, at least knowing that Mr. Betsy was just using words. She was pretty sure that Mr. Betsy couldn't be sure where he was hiding.

Just as she was about to get triumphant, Luna felt the instability of her magic. Then she realized that she had overlooked one thing, and that was the reason why Mr. Betsy was able to shape the magic door of the East Tower. The magic is waning, and Luna can only gather her thoughts.

"However, I can't show my face. Luna said to herself. She was not afraid of Mr. Betsy, but of the power of the moon god. If Mr. Betsy has more than just a little bit of the power of the moon god, then Luna will be out of luck.

Overwhelming the mana disorder, Luna intends to maintain the duration of the Black Mist Shadow for as long as possible. Unexpectedly, Luna is taking a risk by doing so. If too much mana is released, then the fluctuation of mana will be more obvious. When it comes to dark magic, Mr. Betsy also knows something. If the mana fluctuates significantly, then Mr. Betsy will be able to distinguish the specific location of the mana on the basis of distinguishing the attributes of the mana.

Slightly adjusting the strength of her mana, Luna is trying to hide her mana's fluctuations. As a result, the magic fluctuations that were about to break through the boundaries of discovery were hidden.

"How long can you hide there? I know who you are. In the face of Luna's insistence, Mr. Betsy threatens by pretending to know everything. He knew that if he took a little longer, he would be able to discover where he was hidden. Turning around, he simply stood in front of the loquat tree that his cane had turned into, facing the pile of wood.

Wouldn't it be better if there were torches?, however, Mr. Betsy did not use his magic to set fire to a thick branch. So he said to the lady, "Go to the castle and get a torch here......

As the sound of a crisp sound sounded, Luna became more and more nervous. When she compares the thousands of years she has experienced in the past, she can't help but feel ashamed. She gritted her teeth and scolded in her heart: "Damn the moon god, after disappearing for so long, you still have to worry about me because of the power of the moon god!"

However, humiliating the moon god will not solve the matter at hand. Not only does Luna not regret her actions for the night, but she even wants to dissipate the black mist shadow magic and stay away from the wood pile.

"I'm right here!"

When the black mist emerges from the lumber pile and whirls in front of Mr. Betsy, Luna emerges from the black mist. Forced, she rushed straight at Mr. Betsy.

"What?" I don't know who it was, but Mr. Betsy was stunned. He never expected that the guy in front of him, who was hiding because he was afraid of the power of the moon god, would come to the person who had the power of the moon god.

Flashing past Mr. Betsy, Luna circled around the loquat tree that her cane had turned into in a black mist before flying over the north wall.

When Luna woke up, it was already early morning on the 25th. This time, she still ate the assorted fruit that Hugh had sent. It's just that when she saw herself in Susan's eyes, she realized that she didn't have a girlish ruddy complexion.

Luna knew that she had fallen under a spell from the trap when she avoided Mr. Betsy. So, what happens to the recess? Luna is bewildered by pity for a thirteen-year-old human boy.
