40. Chapter 40
"Lord Duke, this is a disaster report about the destruction of WaterSeven by the gods of water." The man dressed as a butler dutifully bent over and handed the Archduke of Wales a report.
"It doesn't matter what happens to WaterSeven," the Grand Duke of Wales waved his hand impatiently, and he didn't want to take it, Carnival Town and Seven Water Capital are the two farthest apart from each other, and they don't have close contacts, "As in previous years,
In the eyes of the Duke of Wales, it was not as important as his auction tonight. You must know that Sveis actually took out the "canary" this time, no matter what, he will also shoot it!
A rich man like them, who doesn't have a little fetish, and the biggest hobby of the Grand Duke of Wales and a few of his friends is the human body. Utensil. Official Collection. This made him hit it off with Sves, who was keen on creating zΓ o dolls. Sveis can carry out his creations with peace of mind, and he can have more slaves.
"Yes." After the butler answered, he asked, "The officials of the world government would like to see you." β
"An official of the world government?" Grand Duke Wells frowned, "Didn't you see them in the morning?" β
Early this morning, the officials of the world government ran to their mansion to say that there was a fugitive with bad deeds who had fled to the island and asked for his help. But he didn't want to reveal what kind of criminal he was, so he only gave him a portrait.
"Yes." The butler nodded.
The face of the Grand Duke of Wales shook, and he was very angry, "The search warrant has also been given to them, and the people have sent it to them, what else do they want?" Do you want the whole island to be under martial law and let him investigate one by one? It's just a badly injured woman, and she can't even catch this! β
"Yes......" The butler looked embarrassed, hesitated, but he still told the truth, "They said that they have already investigated the island, and I hope that Lord Duke can let them search the water town......"
"What?!" The Grand Duke of Wales raised his voice angrily! "The search warrant that was given to them to save face, do they think that I will harbor criminals?!"
"No, of course you won't ......"
"Nope! Sue them, if it's for the auction, I'm welcome, if not, hum-" Wells smashed the red wine glass, "Anyway, the gods of water have faded, but where will they go on the World Government line!" β
"Yes!"
"Okay, you go and arrange the supplies, the line should have been restored." Although the Grand Duke of Wales was a little dissatisfied with the relief of the Seven Waters Capital, he did not want to be tongue-in-cheek. Always do it on the face.
Watching the butler leave, the Grand Duke of Wales's face became gloomy, pacing back and forth, a little anxious. Could it be that the Navy has set its sights on this island? Could it be that there are no fugitives at all, just a reason that the World Government wants to search for me?
He'd heard that even CipherPol had been dispatched, if it was just to capture the woman, either because the woman was carrying extremely important secrets or because the world government was making up an excuse to target him. But either way, he had to find out about that woman before the World Government could find it.
"Someone!"
"Lord Duke?"
"Send someone to inform Orris that the Navy may be targeting them, and let them find a way to distract the Navy."
"Yes!"
After arranging, Wells straightened his suit and smiled, it would be good for the navy to chase the pirates, even if the affairs of the town were revealed, it would be good to push all the pirates to Sveis when the time came. Murderous pirates commit cruel crimes, and it couldn't be more appropriate.
"Ready to leave for the auction."
"Yes!"
At the beginning of the night, the lanterns have been turned on, and the feast begins.
"What people, come out!"
Except for the sound of the wind blowing through the flowers and leaves, there was no special sound.
Bei moved his nose and was stunned for a moment, "the smell of blood......
"Come out. While we still have patience. β
"It's you?!" Joe's eyes widened when she saw the wolf girl coming out of the bushes.
Out of the bushes was a dirty, chestnut-haired, blue-eyed girl, not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old. She looks like a panicked frightened fawn being chased by hunters.
Jo remembered the girl, the girl who followed the slave-turned-waiter on the sea train.
Whether it was mental exhaustion or physical fatigue, it was obvious that the depressed girl was about to collapse. She had chased the purple-haired sister out of the hellish house, but in a blink of an eye, she lost her sight. This strange floating town was too big for her, and she didn't know where to run or be discovered, so she had to hide until she was discovered by four people.
Gritting her teeth, the girl knelt down at the four of them, "Gentlemen, please save me!" β
"Oh, no!" Jo hurried to hold her, only to find that she had no strength to stand at all, so she sat down against the edge of the flower bed.
"What's your name?" Anne pulls out a small first aid kit from the box.
Luo frowned at Anne's movements, but didn't say anything to stop it. Whether the timing of the girl's appearance was coincidental or artificially arranged, they had no way of knowing.
The girl had scratches on her feet and on her body from many branches, as well as scratches from sharp objects such as stones.
Luckily, not far from here is a beautifully shaped fountain.
Dusk had fallen, and most of the servants and guards had concentrated in the central part of the garden, which was relatively remote and deserted, and with the beautifully manicured bushes and trees as shelter, it was safe for the time being.
"Don't worry, we're not going to hand you over."
Anne cleaned the girl's wound with water and then disinfected and bandaged her with iodine. Helped her roughly heal her wounds.
"Rebecca." The little chestnut-haired girl who was treated gently had her blue eyes full of moisture, she was very aggrieved, obviously she was just coming to participate in the carnival with her father, but she had to encounter such a tragic thing, and her father was gone...... Rebecca choked, but she didn't dare cry out loud for fear of attracting her pursuers.
"Don't cry. Don't cry. Anne comforted the little girl in front of her in a little hurry, wiping her tears, she has no experience in coaxing girls or anything!
After thinking about it, the little girl reached out and gently touched Rebecca's head.
As a result, the little girl's tears fell even more fiercely.
o(β―β‘β°)o, it shouldn't be like this!
"Shut up." Luo opened his mouth coldly. If his little girl cries, he will consider coaxing, but if it is someone else, he doesn't have so much patience.
Rebecca quickly bit her lower lip, sobbing but trying to keep it from making a sound. β₯_β₯This person is so scary......
Jo had wanted to say that this little girl was already pitiful, and that you should stop murdering her, captain. Then he met the cold eyes of his own captain and swallowed back the words silently.
- γβ½γ, ε«! The captain of his family is so afraid!
"Don't cry, tell me, what did you see." Anne suppressed Rebecca's affection, and Rebecca's fear was clearly reflected in her crimson eyes.
Rebecca looked at those crimson eyes and unconsciously fell into it.
"I see ......"
According to Rebecca's recollections, she traveled to Wales with her father to attend the carnival and then woke up in a cage in a strange mansion with no memory in between.
"There were a lot of cages in that room, and a lot of beautiful dolls, and that was a madman...... He gouged out an older sister's eye and put it in the ...... Those are real people......"
"Don't be afraid, Rebecca, you're safe." Anne took the girl's hand on her knee," continued. β
Joe couldn't bear it and wanted Anne not to ask. That kind of encounter would be hell for this kid. But Rebecca's state is very strange, her love is very smooth, and she is caught in the memories, making her blue eyes seem to have no focus.
"It's fine."
Law glanced at Joe, and in his impression Anne would never do anything unnecessary to cause trouble out of boring sympathy, so he didn't stop him at first.
With Luo's reminder, Qiao noticed that from the beginning of Anne's questioning, a dark fragrance quietly dispersed, from faint and imperceptible to more and more fragrant. And Rebecca, who is in the center of the fragrance, is always in a stable mood.
"Later, he said we were useless. He pushed a cage from his room and never returned. I heard them say it was like going to an auction. β
Rebecca's expression was a little confused, and she didn't know how to describe the hell she saw. However, what can be confirmed from Rebecca's mouth is that the man probably has a new goal, and that target is among the people who participated in the auction this time.
Target, young and beautiful girl, auction, invitation...... Pushing it backwards, Luo's face suddenly sank, Anne. Neither luck nor coincidence that the man's goal in the first place was Anne.
"Luo, you guys go to the venue first, I'll take Rebecca to change her clothes and go over." Now that it's certain that Rebecca is going to leave, the safest thing to do is for her to pretend to be their companion and blend in with the crowd when the auction is over.
Luo was speechless for a while, looking at Anne, his little girl really didn't have any self-knowledge of her face.
However, Luo thought about it, the man in Rebecca's mouth should be at the auction by now, "That's it." β
Luo took Joe and Bebo in the direction of the central garden, and suddenly got interested, puppeteer? Just let him see what kind of person he is.
"Rebecca, can you stand up?"
Rebecca nodded, hesitated and tugged at Anne's sleeve, "There's another sister, I ran out with her...... I don't know where she went, though...... The guards along the way were all solved by her......"
Is there still one more? This makes sense, why such a powerless little girl can escape the pursuit. Anne was slightly stunned, then thought again, speaking of which, this child still doesn't know about her father's becoming a slave......
How do you tell her, it's really hard......
Rebecca saw Anne's embarrassed look, thinking that she was disgusted with her trouble, she was originally a passer-by who met in Pingshui, and it was already too much for them to save herself, so what qualifications did she have to ask for anything more.
"I'm sorry, sister, I ......" Rebecca bit her lower lip and wanted to cry, but that sister also saved her life, and she was so badly injured...... Where did she go?
