"I'm not sure yet, but I know the direction, Grandpa Mireel, I'd better put this box with you first. Roque, who was looking for a book in front of the bookshelf, pointed to the box on the desk.

"Okay, no other requests for Mr. Roque's dinner. ”

Milyre's heart refused, because no one could guarantee that the monster would not reappear, but he still picked up the box.

"How it was done, it's the same now. ”

Roque didn't have any special requirements for food, and after eating the food made by Fili, he felt that no matter what kind of food it was, it should be delicious.

Yag, who was in charge of the communication, returned to the manor, and Fili followed him, everything here was already a little strange to her, but she was happy to see Roque soon.

"Hello Barbara, what are you doing?"

"It's Mr. Yag, we're hunting for the toads in the manor, isn't this Fili, my God, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”

Barbara looked a little reserved in front of Yag, but as soon as she saw Fili, she hurried over.

"Who did this, Fili, my little pathetic, how are you feeling now. After seeing Fili's injuries, Barbara looked heartbroken, and she carefully grabbed the other person's hand and said with concern.

"Aunt Barbara, I'm fine. Fili smiled shyly.

After a few minutes of pleasantries, Yag takes Fili to meet Roque, who is curious about the capture of the toad.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Master Roque. ”

"Yage's hard work, Fili, welcome home, let's go to dinner together in a moment. ”

The arrest of the toad is still ongoing, and the servants are very interested, and they don't know who spread the news, saying that the more they catch, the more they will be rewarded.

Not to mention the truth or falsity of the news, this alone is enough to become the goal of the servant's struggle, once the competitive relationship is established, then the previous friendship will be greatly reduced, almost everyone holds their own containers, and no one wants to share it with others.

In the manor, the toads, who had lived comfortably, ushered in their nightmare day.

"I really want to know what the master wants these ugly things for. ”

The busy servant could not hide his curiosity and doubts, and at this moment, some people took advantage of Barbara's absence to stir up the topic.

"It's not like I'm going to bring them to the table, I always feel that Master Roque is not the same as before. ”

"Nonsense, everyone can see this, have you noticed a strange thing, Lord Seth and Steward Leef seem to have disappeared for some reason. ”

"yes, it's terrible, that's why I said that Lord Roque is not the same as before. ”

"What do you want to do so much, catch the toad well, maybe behave better, and Master Roque will look at us differently." ”

"Yes, yes, we need to work harder, but don't let those maids compare. ”

"Can I eat this thing, I always feel disgusting when I look at it. ”

"Who knows. ”

When evening came, it was not yet completely dark outside, and the hall of the main house was already brightly lit, and on the long white cloth table, plates of fine food were laid out by the maid.

The dazzling array of dishes makes people appetizing when they look at it, and Roque takes Yag and Fili to hug, and Miley, who has been waiting for a long time, greets him.

"Master Roque can dine. ”

"Okay. ”

As soon as Roque sat down, two maids came over, one with red wine and the other with cutlery, standing on his left and right sides.

"Lord Roque, please dine in peace. At this time, Miller, who was not far away, spoke.

Being stared at seriously by several pairs of eyes, Roque couldn't eat it no matter how much he had an appetite, and he felt unaccustomed to such treatment.

"Grandpa Milyre, Murdan, Yag, and Fili sit down and dine together, I'm not used to eating alone. ”

"This is not good, Lord Roque, this is not in accordance with etiquette. Mireel refused directly without thinking about it, this head must not be opened, otherwise the majesty of the nobles will be greatly reduced.

Murdans and others are grateful, but they all know that Miler is doing the right thing.

"There are not so many rules and etiquette here, don't bother, if you don't sit up, then I won't eat. Roque said as he took off the napkin around his neck, he already knew how to reason with Milyre, and there was only one trick, to be a scoundrel.

"Ah, Lord Roque, you can't do that. Mireel said anxiously, his tone not as tough as before.

The maids around them felt incredible, this Lord Roque was really different, and they began to envy Murdan, and it was a great honor to be able to dine with him.

In the matter of dining, Roque won the victory, and there were more people eating at the table, and the atmosphere was naturally lively, perhaps only Milael felt uncomfortable and awkward.

Barbara can't come over for the time being because she has to supervise the servants to catch the toads, otherwise there must be a place for her at the table.

After dinner, Roque and the others moved to the other side of the hall, where a full set of plush sofas was placed, and warm drinks and some small desserts were placed on the glass coffee table.

The maid was tidying up, and as the sky was completely dark, Barbara returned.

"Master, the servants have caught a lot of toads, what should I do with them? ”

"Thank you, let them bring it to the hall. Roque said and stood up, as for how to deal with these toads, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, let's take one step at a time.

After a while, about two dozen servants walked in with their own containers, their hearts a little apprehensive and nervous, and at the same time a hint of anticipation.

"Hello sir. ”

"Good evening, Lord Roque. ”

"Looks like you're getting a good get. ”

Roke took a cursory look at the containers in the hands of the servants, and the toads he had caught were quite numerous, but they were of different sizes, and Fili followed Yag and them, looking at the ugly things with a curious expression.

"I need toad saliva, do any of you know how. Roque asked tentatively.

Hearing this, the servants, you look at me and I look at you, but they don't know how to answer, and they all become anxious in their hearts.

"I know what to do, sir, these guys attack whenever they are frightened, and sometimes they spit water, I have a way to collect them. ”

At this moment, an emaciated servant replied respectfully.

"Very good, what's your name. Roque's gaze fell on the servant.

"Piev, my name is Piev, sir. The servant excitedly said his name.

"I remember, then this matter is left to you to be responsible, whoever catches the toad today will be rewarded, now you can go down, go to eat." ”

"Sir, I will definitely promise to complete the task. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"Thank you, Lord Roque. ”

Now the servants were relieved, and it was undeniable that they were all envious of Piev, but it was very good to be rewarded, and Barbara led them out of the hall.

"Why don't you leave. ”

At this time, hearing Miler's stern voice, Roque noticed that there was a little girl who was still in place, she looked a little scared, and she looked hesitant.

Fili looked at the little girl with a look of worry in her eyes, the other party was about the same age as herself.

Murdan and Yag looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, and they were also curious about the little girl's actions.

"Tell me, why haven't you left yet?"

Roque approached the little girl, and he noticed that the other party was holding a wide-mouthed glass bottle in his arms, which contained several thumb-sized toads, and if he looked closely, there were some stone frogs.

"Sir. ”

The little girl looked at the stern Mireel, and then at Roque cautiously, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.

"Don't be nervous, just say anything, I won't be angry. Roque said mildly, he had a hunch that the other party would surprise him.

"Sir, I know where there is a very big toad. ”

With Roque's encouragement, the little girl instantly gained courage, she said with certainty.

Hearing her words, everyone showed curiosity, and Roque couldn't wait to ask, "How big?"

"It's about the size of a washbasin. The little girl spoke with some uncertainty, and a panicked look appeared on her face for a moment.

"Ridiculous! You know what you're talking about, it's vexatious, Lord Roque, give her to me. Milyre looked furious, he felt that the little girl was too rude, and that he had to punish her.

"What I said is true, please believe me, sir, Steward Miler. The little girl hurriedly argued for herself, frightened by Milyre's expression.

"Haha, Grandpa Mirel, you've scared her, don't you believe a toad the size of a basin?" Roque asked with a smile.

Murdan and Yag didn't speak, which was tantamount to tacitly disbelieving, Miley's face was straight, he didn't need to ask to know what his position was, he was angry.

"Master Roque, I believe what she said is true. At that moment, Fili spoke weakly.

Hearing the other party call Roque like this, Milael was about to get angry, but the next moment, he heard Roque's voice.

"Since Fili believes in her, I choose to believe in her too. ”

Milyre's face had been replaced by shock, and he secretly remembered Fili, it seemed that this little girl had a very high status in Lord Roque's heart, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time.

"What's your name?"

"Thank you, Lord Roque, for believing in me, my name is wormwood, I really saw that toad. After learning that Roque chose to believe in himself, Wormwood was only grateful and moved at the moment.

"I'm sure you're hungry at this late hour. Roque asked softly.

Wormwood was a little hesitant, but feeling Roque's concern, she nodded gently.

"Grandpa Mirel go and prepare some supper for wormwood. Roque commanded to Millaire, who had become more settled.

"Yes, Lord Roque. ”

Milael went straight to the kitchen, and Murdan and Yag looked at each other and smiled, as Fili slowly walked over to Wormwood and held out her hand.

"Hello, my name is Fili. ”

"You, hello, I'm wormwood. ”

Seeing that the two little hands were clasped together, Roque didn't say anything, because it was Fili's own business.
