Chapter 298: Under the Mist (7)
You'll know......" Luna snorted as she raised the corners of her mouth. Luna doesn't just speak coldly, she even lets herself exude an intimidating aura.
Although she couldn't see the real cold, Susan still felt cold. This time, it's not in my heart, but in a chill all over my body. So, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. When she tried to stop, she couldn't stop until she touched the southwest corner of the dresser.
There was a "pop", and the dresser shook. Susan remembered to remind herself that she was in a room with a demon! and that the demon in front of her was so powerful that she could ignore the question.
After gathering her thoughts, Susan bravely looks at Luna again, only to find that Luna is no longer by the window, but instead sees Luna sitting on the bed near the west wall. Susan didn't even know when Luna had taken one of the assorted fruit plates.
In fact, while Susan was thinking, Luna used the magic of "Black Mist Shadow". After disappearing from the black mist, Luna reappears behind Susan in an instant, and takes a plate of assorted fruits. And then again, as Susan saw.
"What are you stunned about?" said Luna in a mischievous girlish voice as if nothing had happened, "Dear sister, if you're not going to eat that assorted fruit, then it's mine!"
Seeing Luna dangling her legs, as she did when she was in the restaurant, Susan had an epiphany—another round of performances began. So, Susan quickly put away the panic on her face. After putting the dress on her face again, Susan said to Luna, "But you'd better keep one for me, because I'm your sister......"
As she spoke, Susan saw Luna tilt her head, and saw Luna winking at her, so she pounced on Luna. After some frolicking, Susan finally heard a knock from someone who had been standing outside the door for a long time.
"Who—who's there?" asked Susan softly.
"Virgil, the mercenary leader of Betsy Manor. Virgil replied.
It wasn't the ladies of the manor who knocked on the door, nor was it any other hired person besides Hugh, and Susan didn't understand it. She didn't know why Mr. Betsy had asked a leader in charge of the mercenaries to come. Could it be that the matter of pretending to be a relative of the Florés family with Luna has been revealed? Susan just guessed, but couldn't be sure.
Either way, something has to be done. So, after getting permission from Luna to wink, Susan stopped tickling and frolicking. Susan slammed into the door and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
"Mr. Betsy, I want to tell you something. Virgil replied.
"What's the matter?" asked Susan.
Susan listened to Virgil's tone unhurried and lazy, as if she had just finished work. For this, Susan was concerned. Even, in order to avoid more misunderstandings, she thinks about how to cooperate with Luna to deal with it. However, a person who has been standing outside the door for a long time, if not thinking about how to knock on the door or something, may be thinking about how to talk to the people in the room, or it may be ...... Susan put her hand on the doorknob and froze.
Luna couldn't help but urge, "Sister, I've already cleaned up." Now, you can open the door. ”
"So, mercenary leader, do you have anything to do......" Susan asked. She opened the latch and smiled at Virgil.
"I'm afraid you'll have to stay here a few more days, because something strange is happening in the city. Virgil said with his chin clenched.
Obviously, what Virgil said was difficult for him to speak. But what really happened in the City of Miracles? Susan wondered.
Susan was looking forward to something like some of the people loyal to Alex's kingdom tossing around the city, because she thought it might get some news about Glori and the others. However, you can't annoy Luna behind her on the spur of the moment, right? Besides, it's still impossible to know if you'll be able to reach anyone outside the manor. So, she blinked her eyes subconsciously and gradually lowered her gaze.
When Susan is about to be silent, Luna suddenly tugs at Susan's left arm. Luna pouted, "Look, we haven't taken a closer look at Mr. Betsy's estate, so we're in no hurry to return to the house that gave us a headache because of the rules." ”
"That'...... That's great. The voice came from the top of the staircase, and the owner was Mr. Perry, the housekeeper of the estate. Not only did Luna tell it, but Susan remembered the voice too. It was this time that Susan determined Perry's magical attributes, as a gust of wind was blowing.
The wind Susan felt came up through the window of the circular staircase. Susan knew the smell of wind as well as she knew her own wind magic. From the time she left home to become Mr. Mayne's apprentice, Susan focused on wind magic.
The most unforgettable thing about wind magic is what Mentor Lil said: if you want to make the magic of an attribute your right-hand man or friend, then you have to keep an eye on it, from the initial learning of the spell to the actual use, you have to feel its presence, even in the face of ashes after the magic is over.
Susan naturally knows the secret to mastering the use of magic, and diligence is not just one of them. Plus, you have to be talented, at least that's what she thinks.
When she first chose the magical learning route, Susan did so based on her own judgment. If you touch a feather with different magical properties, if the feather will shake due to resonance, then it means that the magic of this feather is suitable for learning. Still, she remembers one thing. During the "Feather Selection", one of the people sitting around the playground became the center of attention.
Susan remembers Glori's appearance. No matter which feather Mr. Mayne placed on Glori's hand, none of them responded, so Glori's expectant eyes gradually turned into doubt. The others kept laughing at Glori, "Look, what's wrong with this guy? There's not a kind of magic that reacts to him." ”
Thankfully, this is not the first time Susan has participated in Feather's Choice. She was the only one who didn't laugh at Glori, and she later learned from Dylan that Glori possessed a faint amount of light magic that could transform into a spark, which Glori had earned through hard work, not the applicable magic that had been identified at the Feather's Choice party.
After a pause, Susan returned her gaze to reality. By this time, she had seen Perry appear in front of her, standing to the right of Virgil, who was wearing a long-sleeved white liner.
"So, what are we doing here? Virgil, how did the lord let you do such a thing?" asked Perry.
From the moment he spoke, Perry stared at Virgil.
Not only that, but there was a feeling that Susan thought that Perry had set her eyes on Virgil from the moment she turned the circular staircase. Susan doesn't like to be suspicious, but she can't help but remember the relationship between everyone in the manor. She felt that if she wanted to stay in the manor the way Luna had told, she would have to see everything clearly to keep herself out of danger.
"So, Mr. Butler, may we go for a walk in the yard? Susan accosted deliberately. In fact, she wanted to avoid the talk that Perry was going to have with Virgil. Perry and Virgil, one wants to say more but doesn't say more, the other responds with a smile that forcibly bends his eyes - with the smell of Mars.
After a moment of silence, Susan finally saw Perry move out of the way to the left of the door. Susan then grabbed Luna's hand and walked out the door. To Susan's surprise, Luna approves of this approach.
Luna casually said, "Yes, I heard that Mr. Betsy's estate also has a lumber business. Sister, maybe we can help take a look. ”
Closing the door, Susan is pulled by Luna towards the circular staircase. However, Susan hasn't seen Zoe since dawn. As the eastern corridor was about to be passed, Susan glanced at it. At the end of the corridor to the east, there was no movement, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Zoe, why haven't you gotten up yet?" asked Susan to herself. Although Zoe is not as diligent, at least she doesn't lie in bed because she is lazy, and Zoe likes to pray early in the morning like Ireth.
Just as Susan was about to step down the next step, Luna tugged at her left arm. This time, Luna doesn't want to urge Susan, but tells Susan to stop.
"What's wrong?" asked Susan, unsuspectingly.
After seeing Luna put her finger in front of her mouth and hearing the boos, Susan understood. It's clear that Luna wants to hear Perry's conversation with Virgil. However, what Susan didn't expect to hear turned out to be an argument.
Perry yelled directly: "That's a bastard!"
"Yes, that's a bastard!" Virgil chimed.
"How are you going to clean up that thing?" Perry asked.
"Isn't it up to you to clean up? Mr. Betsy? he should have made it clear?" said Virgil disdainfully.
After listening for a while, Susan was confused. However, she looked at Luna's blistering appearance, as if Luna knew about Perry's quarrel with Virgil. But what is the matter? Susan took a light step back. Near the staircase where she can't be spotted, she panics at Luna's actions.
"Hugh, why did you come back so soon?" said Luna, hugging Susan and coquettishly to Hugh downstairs.
"It's Mr. Betsy who will let me clean up the room," Hugh replied, "and, Mr. Betsy told me to tell you. Just as I was here to deliver food, Miss Zoe was invited to help check on my brother's business. ”
"Zoe?" Susan asked, blankly. However, the answer soon came. She said to herself, "Yes, only Zoe would do unimaginable things." ”
"Now, Zoe is a scholar of doubts...... Luna pulls Susan past Hugh.
After a hurried set-up, Susan saw the dust on Hugh's back.
The dust that hung on the sackcloth shirt was beaten and there was always a remnant. Moreover, Susan vaguely felt the remnants of an indescribably powerful magic from the boy named Hugh.
