"How so?" Dorothy's face was filled with loss.

She thought that it would not be easy to find her mother, but she didn't expect that just after finding a little clue, it would be interrupted.

Maybe something happened to her mother, and the reason why she didn't come back for so many years is that she has long been gone?

Dorothy's heart was sad and at the same time relieved.

The relief frightened her, and she couldn't imagine how she would feel when she knew her mother had died.

"Is it because you know that your mother is not a betrayal but a death?"

"It turns out that in my heart, whether my mother betrayed or not is already up to her life and death..."

Dorothy was in a mess, and the guilt in her heart made her feel ashamed to the point of shame.

Zhao Xi naturally saw that the girl was inappropriate, and pushed the girl out of self-denial with a gentle push.

He didn't know what Dorothy was thinking, but seeing the look on her face wasn't a good thing.

So she directly recalled her consciousness and took the initiative to ask for more information:

"What else does Mr. Buffy have you asked about?"

"Something else—" Buffy tapped his fingers on the table again, and the rhythmic sound of the study was once again remembered.

The old merchant pondered for a while, and finally let out a look of sudden realization.

"By the way, they had a makeshift settlement in the city, and they lived there for a while. ”

"Where to stay?" Zhao Xi thought for a while and asked, "Tavern?"

"Neither, it's a manor. Buffy shook his head and said.

"The Manor?"

After Zhao Xi heard the word manor, what the old clerk had said in the morning began to appear in his mind, the haunted manor was also inhabited by a caravan from the Church Federation, could there be any connection between the two?

"Yes, the manor. Buffy straightened his body and said, "What?

Before Zhao Xi and them could answer, Buffy on the side patted his head and said:

"I forgot, didn't you just go to see the manor today! Why, did you find out about their residence in the manor?"

"Hmm..."Zhao Xi nodded and said, "I did inquire a little, but I'm not sure." ”

"Oh?" said Buffy, too, "You're so lucky, and you can pick any house and get important information?"

"It's a coincidence..."Zhao Xi said with a dry smile.

He can't say that he was greedy for cheap, so he went to see the murderous house, right?

Later, Zhao Xi didn't want to dwell more on how he found out about the manor, but began to explain to Buffy that he and others learned the information.

After listening to Zhao Xi's explanation, Buffy took a deep breath, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"I've heard of something bad going on on that manor, but I didn't pay much attention to it because it was quickly suppressed. ”

"After all, it's normal for someone to deliberately block the message, and you don't know. Zhao Xi smiled and said.

"So do you still need my help?" Buffy asked kindly.

"If you're willing to continue to help, I'd appreciate it. ”

Zhao Xi saluted Buffy opposite, his face was very serious, after all, it was about Dorothy's mother's whereabouts, and this one was not sloppy at all.

"Good. Buffy sat up straight and said, "But I have already told you the easiest things to investigate, and if you want to inquire about more detailed things, it will take some time to wait." ”

"I naturally understand this, and I will need to trouble you a lot in the future. Zhao Xi saluted again.

However, this salute was dodged by Buffy on the other side, and the old businessman stood up from his chair with agility and flashed it again.

"Don, you're fine with everything, it's just that you're too polite. Buffy smiled and said, "This is nothing compared to the kindness you gave me to save my life." ”

Even if that's the case, it's time to express gratitude. Zhao Xi shook his head and said.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this. Buffy also re-enacted on the stool and said, "Next you are going to investigate that ominous manor?"

"I'm definitely going to take a look, after all, the other party may have left a clue, maybe I'll find something out of it. Zhao Xi nodded and said.

"That's right. Buffy said, "But according to your description, the manor is still very dangerous at night, and although you have dealt with the spirits before, it is better to be careful with this kind of thing." ”

"Even so, I wanted to check it out. Zhao Xi said firmly: "Otherwise, you won't be able to see anything just by that little thing during the day." ”

"Then I wish you a reward. Buffy shrugged his shoulders and said, "But even if you go, it's best to be prepared, and everything is still careful." ”

"I understand that. Zhao Xi nodded and said.

"Alright, you can go down and rest if there's nothing to do, and I'll send someone to inform you when it's time for dinner." Buffy waved his hand and said.

"Then we'll leave first. ”

After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he left Buffy's study with his second daughter, and when he opened the door, he found that the servants who were waiting outside the door had left.

And Buffy looked at the back of Zhao Xi and the three leaving, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Things are really getting more and more interesting, if it weren't for these children, I wouldn't have found out that there was such a caravan in Shudrea. ”

......

When Zhao Xi walked on the way back, he was still a little worried about Dorothy's state, so he turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him.

Dorothy's face was a little worried, but when Zhao Xi saw the girl's face, he remembered that Dorothy behaved a little strangely in the manor.

"Dorothy, what did you find when you were in that manor?" Zhao Xi asked Dorothy on the side.

"Huh?" Dorothy replied in a panic, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the girl's hurried appearance, Zhao Xi felt a little headache, the girl had been like this since she heard the whereabouts of the caravan, as if she had lost her soul.

Cornelia saw the girl's loss of soul and gently shook Dorothy's small hand.

"Don't think about it yet, it's just a guess, maybe the caravan just left Erel in some other way?"

Cornelia comforted Dorothy while squeezing Dorothy's little hand a little harder, trying to give her a sense of security.

"Really... Really..."

When Dorothy heard the words of the clergymaiden, her silent eyes rekindled a flame of hope.

"It's very likely! Think about it, if something happened to the whole caravan, and so many people died, how could there be no reaction in the principality at all. Cornelia continued to enlighten the girl beside her.

"Yes!" Dorothy nodded as she listened, as if taking Cornelia's words as a holy decree.

It wasn't because Cornelia was right, but what the clergy girl said was exactly what Dorothy wanted to hear at this time.

This is what she wants to hear most now, to calm her messy mood, and she can't figure out what her purpose is now.

After seeing that Dorothy's emotions began to calm down, Zhao Xi repeated the previous question again.

"What did you find?" Dorothy thought for a moment and said, "By the way! I've always wanted to tell you that the house in that manor is very similar to mine. ”

"Like?"

Zhao Xi scratched his head suspiciously, thought about Dorothy's previous home, and thought about the manor that was dilapidated but still had some glory.

"Oops! It's not like that!" Dorothy seemed to sense Zhao Xi's thoughts, patted Zhao Xi on the shoulder and said, "It's the table and dresser, and some of the more common furniture is placed in a very similar direction to my home." ”

"Hmm, is that so?" Zhao Xi still didn't understand.

"Heck, you may not understand it, but you should take it as my intuition. Dorothy stamped her foot and said, "At first I thought it was my delusion, so I thought of coming out and telling you, but then I heard what Mr. Buffy said, which proved my own speculation even more." ”

"What guess?" Although Zhao Xi already had some answers in his heart, he still asked the girl.

"My mother must have lived on that estate for a while, and not for a short time. Dorothy affirmed.

"Understood. Zhao Xi nodded and said, "So without further ado, let's leave tonight, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xi looked at Dorothy and Cornelia opposite, asking for the second daughter's opinion.

After glancing at each other, the two girls nodded at the same time, agreeing with Zhao Xi's proposal.

"Alright, now let's all go back and get ready, although Cornelia didn't find anything wrong, but it's always right to be careful. Zhao Xi instructed again.

The second daughter didn't mean to be bored with this kind of instruction, but nodded solemnly, and walked to the room where she was resting.

......

"Is this your help?" said the dragon cane dissatisfiedly outside Buffy's manor, "It's really bad enough." ”

"What a bad taste. The mysterious man glanced at the dragon's head cane and said, "This is just the right guide, isn't it the right time to put it now?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay. The dragon cane said helplessly.

"Besides, no matter how bad my taste is, I don't have you to drive out all the bugs around me to scare the little girl. The mysterious man once again despised the dragon-headed cane.

"Ha, hahaha, hahaha. The dragon's head cane smiled dryly: "I'm not helping to get rid of insects for them!

"Heh, even if it takes another 10,000 years, you're still so naïve. The mysterious man said with disdain.

"My name is childlike innocence!" the dragon-headed cane protested loudly: "You know what childlike innocence is, you!

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" the mysterious man directly interrupted the dragon's head cane and said, "The show will start soon." ”
