Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 37 The Mystery
With Edith leaving, the captain and the others hurriedly gathered.
Converge to Xia Zuo's side.
"Yo, are you okay Xia Zuo?" Fred took the lead in patting Xia Zuo on the shoulder and smiled.
"Ah, it's fine. Xia Zuo came back to his senses from the conversation he had just had with Edith.
"It's okay. Anos also patted Xia Zuo's shoulder lightly, and his expression gradually relaxed.
Don't look at Anos who seemed so calm before, as if he wasn't worried about Xia Zuo at all, but in fact, Anos was very worried about Xia Zuo in his heart.
"It's not easy to retreat from the hands of the undead girl. Ian said with genuine admiration.
After all, Edith is notoriously moody, and if Xia Zuo caused her unhappiness when chatting with her just now, it may be difficult for Xia Zuo to retreat even if the people in the Dark Night Curtain can save Xia Zuo.
"Hmm......" Elsa smiled and didn't speak.
"......" Jasmine also did not speak.
Maybe I don't know what to say.
“...... Speaking of which, everyone, I always feel that she won't let me go so easily. After Xia Zuo was surrounded by everyone, he was relieved, but thinking of Edith's cunning appearance, Xia Zuo always felt that things would not end so simply.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, and then came back to their senses, as if they wanted to comfort Xia Zuo.
But Xia Zuo spoke first.
"But it's all right. Xia Zuo saw that everyone was a little uneasy, and hurriedly explained.
"I'll make it clear to her. ”
"It seems that she has a really good attitude towards me, and maybe she will listen to me. Xia Zuo said.
I don't know what Edith meant by smell, but since Edith had some affection for me because of this, she would have listened to me.
"For now, let's continue with this commission. ”
"I can't give up this commission just because I'm alone. Xia Zuo said seriously.
"Hmm. Anos nodded slightly.
"Xia Zuo, you come and check first. Elsa suddenly approached Xia Xia Zuo, and by the way, pulled Jasmine, who seemed a little reluctant for some reason.
Edith is a well-known genius necromancer, and she must prevent her from doing anything to Xia Zuo's body or mind.
"Ahh Xia Zuo nodded, then let Jasmine and Elsa get close to each other and let them investigate.
"......" Elsa mobilized her mental power and took the lead in conducting a mental examination of Xia Zuo.
But Elsa, she didn't notice anything wrong with Xia Zuo's spirit.
Then there is Jasmine.
Jasmine, like Elsa, has mobilized her own powerful spiritual power, but this spiritual power is better at physical examination than Elsa.
After a while.
Jasmine didn't find anything unusual on Xia Zuo's body.
"No problem. Jasmine whispered to Natsuzo, then turned and retreated to Elsa's side.
Elsa nodded when she saw this.
It's strange, why does it always feel like Jasmine has become a little cold again, and I don't know if it's my own delusion.
Xia Zuo thought to himself.
"Now that the matter is settled. ”
"Then let's talk to Viscount Sachs again. Anos said.
"Yes, too!" Fred agreed, "we must have a good talk with this Viscount Saxophone!"
"Obviously, I have already invited the undead girl, and I actually came to entrust us with the curtain of night......"
"You want us two tigers to fight?" Fred suddenly smiled lightly, "How can it be that simple?"
"Even if the two tigers fight, this consequence is not something that he, a little viscount, can bear. ”
Anos and the others bowed their heads.
Elsa looked in the direction of the griffon's departure and muttered to herself thoughtfully.
"Isn't a griffin that preys on horses......"
"It's not as simple as Viscount Sachs said, and I can see the hatred in the griffon's eyes very clearly. Jasmine suddenly said to Elsa.
"If that's what you're talking about, then that's right. Elsa thought for himself.
"Let's go. Anos opened his legs and walked towards the interior of the castle.
Xia Zuo nodded, and then followed behind the captain with the rest of his teammates.
When the servants on the side of the road saw Xia Zuo and the others, they all fled backwards in fear or fell to the ground.
After all, these servants had just seen the extraordinary power displayed by Xia Zuo and the others, so it was naturally difficult not to be afraid of Xia Zuo and the others.
No other guards dared to stop Xia Zuo and them.
At this moment, the butler Rhine happened to meet him.
Rhine smiled politely at Xia Zuo and the others.
"Distinguished guests, Lord Viscount, please. Rhine still smiled at Xia Zuo and the others, and did not seem to be as afraid of Xia Zuo as the other servants.
"Hmm. Anos nodded slightly, then motioned for Rhine to continue leading the way.
Rhine then led the people to the living room where Viscount Saxe was.
At this time, Viscount Saxophone was still sitting in his original position, sipping the fine black tea made by the servant on the table.
"Here you are, Locke Street detectives. Viscount Sachs stood up, greeted him, and waved his hand lightly to let the servants stand out and stay outside.
Anos took the lead in finding a place to sit down, and then Xia Zuo and the others sat down with him.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Fred asked Viscount Sachs before Anos.
"Nothing interesting. Viscount Sachs seemed to have expected things to turn out like this, and replied calmly.
"It's just that the contemptible people really can't trust that little girl, so they entrusted you with help with this matter. ”
"The little girl named Edith had come to the despicable mansion the other day, and she claimed to have found the griffon's scent here, and that she was willing to stay here in order to obtain it, and to keep me safe for the time being, until she caught it. ”
"The contemptible person has been safe and sound until now, in large part because of her temporary protection. ”
But the contemptible people naturally didn't believe it at the time. ”
But after she showed the great power of the Soul Descendant, even if the contemptible people were unwilling, they could only accept her request. ”
"The contemptible people prepared the best rooms, the best meals, and the best treatment for her, and I just hoped that she would be able to catch the griffon. ”
But she was too spontaneous, and she caught the griffon with a playful mindset. ”
"So much so that she has not been able to catch the griffin until now, and I have no choice but to seek your help. ”
"I swear, I don't mean to use you against her. ”
"Rather, I hope that your Excellency will not have any conflict with her, and then work together to solve this griffon predation incident. ”
"Oh~" Fred raised his eyebrows, "but things don't seem to be as simple as you say." ”
"This griffin doesn't seem to be just there to hunt horses. ”
Fred's sharp gaze was fixed on Viscount Sax.
However, Viscount Saxophone still looked calm as water, but with a little sweat on his forehead.
Obviously, even if Viscount Saxophone was prepared, he would inevitably be a little nervous in the face of these soulborns with extraordinary powers.
"Judging by the griffin's performance, he is not just for predation, but for his own emotions, and has other purposes. Elsa explained.
Elsa, as a psychiatrist, obviously had a harder time feeling the griffon's emotions clearly.
The griffon's mood was very volatile, intense, full of anger and hatred, not at all like a griffin for prey.
"This griffon, he...... It seems to resent you, Your Excellency the Viscount. Elsa looked directly at Viscount Saxophone and said seriously.
"Something must have gone wrong. Viscount Sachs shook his head.
"I didn't hurt this griffon, after all, I'm just a normal human. ”
"An ordinary human viscount. ”
"How could a little viscount of mine have the power to harm a griffin who is a soul creature?" Viscount Sachs explained calmly.
"But......" Elsa was about to continue, but was suddenly stopped by Fred.
"Since you don't want to make it clear...... If you don't want to tell us the truth about this, then if we can't fulfill this commission, the consequences must be borne by yourself. ”
"Even if the consequence is that you are killed by a griffon!" Fred snapped to warn Viscount Sachs.
"You don't have to worry about that, Your Excellency. Viscount Sachs frowned slightly, sweating a little on his forehead, but he still said stubbornly.
"All you need to do is complete this commission and catch this griffon. ”
"If you don't think the reward for this commission is enough, you can double it!" said Viscount Saxe.
“...... You think we're going to run out of money?" Fred teased.
"......" Viscount Sachs couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Indeed, the Soulborn possess powers that ordinary humans cannot imagine, and if the Soulborn really wants to get these worldly money, there are really too many ways to get it.
Moreover, the value of money is really low for the soul descendants, who mainly need soul quality.
“...... Indeed, for all of you Soul Descendants, money is only something outside of your body, but it is also a little contemptible thought. ”
"Although I am unable to explain this clearly, I hope that your Excellency will trust me and continue to complete this commission. Viscount Sachs explained.
"I vouch in my name that as long as you can successfully complete this commission, I will do my best to meet your requests. Viscount Sachs said with a sincere face.
“...... That's enough. Anos finally spoke.
"Now, since we, the Night Veil, have taken over this commission, there is no reason to give up. ”
"You don't have to pretend to beg us to continue this commission. ”
"It's just...... We've been disappointed by your actions. Anos stood up, and Xia Zuo and the others followed him.
"We will not necessarily hand over the final disposition of the griffons in this entrustment to you, Your Excellency the Viscount. ”
"We'll judge based on the actual situation. ”
"to determine what to do with the griffon. ”
"That's all. "Do you have any other opinions?"
"......" Viscount Sachs knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Then, Viscount Saxophone furrowed his eyebrows.
Now, we can only take one step at a time.
Viscount Sachs thought.
"Well, listen to me. Viscount Sachs replied.
"We will stay here for the time being, and continue this commission, your opinion, Your Excellency, Viscount. Anos and Xia Zuo walked to the door and said suddenly.
After all, the griffons can come back to attack at any time, and living here with Viscount Sax is the only way to prevent the griffons from attacking in time.
"Naturally there is no opinion, as it should be. Viscount Sachs frowned slightly, but still forced a smile.
Viscount Sachs called the butler Rhine.
"Rhine, prepare rooms for all your guests, good rooms, you must be well entertained. ”
"Yes, Lord Viscount. Rhine nodded, and then walked over to Xia Zuo and the others.
"Excellencies, please come with me. ”
Xia Zuo and the others then temporarily stayed in the castle of Viscount Saxe under Rhine's arrangement.
But.
The mystery of the incident still hangs over the castle.
