Chapter 19: Blood Red (I)

Cornflower between the within.

In the past few days, Wild Rose and Chloe have wiped out Count Capet's organization, which should have been a happy thing.

But because of the incident that happened in the middle of the night last year, everyone was full of uneasiness. "It's difficult, it's difficult, could it be the devil!!That's the Dark Church! If it's a product of the Dark Church, how can you attack your own people!" Rickos is very good at studying this kind of devil legend, but most of them are made up, and she often uses them to scare herself.

"That scratch looks like a beast. Red recalled, yesterday's incident was not a trivial matter after all, but fortunately, the former director of the orphanage is now a priest in the Holy Church, and the dean has loved Iseti since she was a child, and when she discovered her magical talent, he even paid out of his own pocket to send her to study at the Academy of Magic, "This matter will be handled by the Holy Church, I believe they will be much more efficient than us in these things... Besides, the day of the moon tea party is coming soon. Xia Li said.

"Moon tea party?" asked Yifu.

"Yes, I haven't told you yet, our Wild Rose is a huge organization, and Cornflower is our headquarters, but in addition to the headquarters, we have many branches, they are responsible for the acquisition or sale of intelligence in different regions, and generally the new information obtained will be sent to the headquarters, but every three months, we will hold a monthly tea party, that is, a large-scale intelligence exchange meeting between the headquarters and the branches. "Everyone in the Wild Rose has their own code name, and on the day of the Moon Tea Party, everyone will also disguise their appearance, which is to prevent the organization from being mixed with foreign spies, resulting in the leakage of the list of people in the organization. Xia Li added.

"Sounds amazing!" I suddenly remembered that when Red called me here before, he said that it was enough to report the name Bavar Lily, is Bavar Lily the code name of Red?" Ifu said excitedly, and then she remembered that when she first came to Cornflower, she didn't have too many doubts about the code name at that time.

"Yes. Red smiled, "My code name is the same as the name, Xia Li, anyway, Xia Li is a bad street name." Xia Li said. "Cade. Iserti introduced her code name. "I'm Bigas. Ricles raised her hand and said.

"Do I want a code name too?" Ifu asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Ifu said, "Black Feather." ”

She has lived as the opposite of White Feather for nineteen years, and she is a well-deserved "Black Feather".

"Yifu usually wears black, but now even his name is black. Rickles' laugh was strange, and that alone made her laugh from ear to ear.

"You... Never mind. Mr. Koloe, I would like to invite you to join us. Red looked at Richards helplessly, then turned to Chloe and invited, Chloe thought about his poor performance and asked, "Can I?" Red still smiled so charmingly and gave an affirmative reply, "Of course, you have helped us a lot during this time, even if you are not a Briar Rose, I hope you can attend as an ally of the Briar Rose." ”

The moon tea party was held two days later, and Yifu decided not to think about anything for the past two days and to relax.

But the moon god seems to have heard Ifu's heart and rejected her—no.

The three of them returned to the inn, and Yifu, who had nothing to do, began to practice her blood spell in the room again to improve her strength. "Aina, tell me how you tell if a person is awake or asleep by his breath!" Ifu remembered that he was caught by Aina and pretended to be asleep, and asked curiously.

"First of all, you have to calm down, look at this person, and feel her aura, not so much breath as aura. Aren't we going to distinguish or discern this person by the sensations that a person brings to themselves, if this person is awake, she will give you the same feeling as usual, but if she is asleep, her aura will become a little softer than when she is awake, but this is not absolute, there are a few people whose aura is exactly the same when they are awake and when they are asleep. Aina explained.

"Hmm-" Ifu tried to feel Aina's aura, but couldn't feel it at all, "Are you making fun of me?" Yi Fu pursed his lips aggrievedly, "By the way, we blood servants have no aura. Aina added.

"?!" Ifu recalls the people around her, Wilde is the lake in the moonlight, Friard is the museum in the early morning forest mist, Fam is the clear sea, Miria is the strawberry-flavored cream cake, Benify is an ancient book that is difficult to decipher, Sylvia is the pure white lily, red is the charming and dangerous gun rose, Charlie is the night sky in winter, Ricos is the warm breeze in summer, Iseti... Well... Iseti is the crown of majesty, Thoth is the gentle wolf, and Koloe is the blue rose dripping with blood.

Only Aina is a blank slate.

"Why?!" Ifu asked. "If there is no aura and impression left to the master, even if we disappear somewhere one day, the master will not be too sad, because our existence itself is only the background board of the master, assisting the master, and because of this, many times others will not notice the existence of the blood servant. ”

Ifu remembered many times when Aina was ignored and couldn't help but feel sad. “... It doesn't matter if others don't notice, I'll always be watching you. Aina closed her eyes and smiled, "Hmm!" Ifu saw that Aina's eyelashes were long, and the contours of her eyes were gentle, and the light from the window spilled into the room and sprinkled on her body.

It's light, and my Aina is the gentlest light. Yifu looked at Aina, who was smiling happily in front of him, and said in his heart.

In addition to practicing the blood spell and chatting with Aina, the two of them also ran to the entertainment area on the second floor, played some fun things, and did not return to the room until after dinner in the evening.

"Ahh As soon as Ifu entered the room, he fell on the bed, and Aina smiled, "Me too." ”

Ifu lay on the bed, watching Aina tidy up the room, tidying up Ifu's things, and then making tea and refreshments for Ifu.

"You don't get bored doing these things all the time? You're also a girl who needs someone to take care of you. Ifu admires Aina very much, she is the most diligent time, and she can't do it every day, but Aina enjoys it, "If my master is someone else, I might feel tired." But now I feel very happy to be able to take care of your daily life. Aina brought the tea and refreshments to the table, and Ifu got up to continue chatting with Aina.

And so the good day ended—Ifu thought.

"Not really. Suddenly, a wonderful premonition crossed her mind.

Yes, the next second, someone knocked on the door, and the visitor said, "Yifu, it's me..."

"Sylvia?" Ifu was surprised to open the door, and it was Sylvia who was knocking on the door, "Come in." ”

Instead of wearing her usual gorgeous dress, Sylvia wore plain clothes with ease of movement, and a coat with a hood on the outside, "Yifu, please save a friend of mine, please..." "Okay, I'll help you, what's going on? What's wrong with your friend?"

Ifu asked Sylvia to sit down and drink a cup of tea first, and then slow down. "It's going to start this morning—"

Today is the birthday of Mrs. Capet, that is, Sylvia's mother, Sylvia and Abel return to Capet's house early in the morning, and the usual habit is to dine together at noon, and in the evening to hold a banquet at home, feasting some celebrities and friends, but when she arrives home, she finds that her father's complexion seems to be very bad, and a few more wrinkles have been added to his face.

"Father, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" said Sylvia, but Count Capet shook her head, "It's all right, son, it's just that I've been too tired lately. "Father is really diligent, but he also has to take care of his body, and your health is a blessing for me and Thea. Able also spoke, and Count Capet was very pleased with this son-in-law, and smiled and said yes.

The morning was quite calm, the family walked around the garden, chatting, Sylvia found that she hadn't seen Meila, and asked again, "It's strange, I don't seem to see Meila today, I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her strangely." The earl still smiled and said, "Meila went out to purchase, you know that she has always been very concerned about your mother's affairs, and I advised her not to listen, so she had to do it herself." Sylvia thought that Meira was really good to her mother, and she didn't think much about it.

But just after lunch, when the family was having afternoon tea, Meila came back, she didn't look like she was going out to buy at all, but Meila didn't care so much, and whispered to her father's side, her father's face changed slightly, but she didn't have an immediate seizure, and she left the table and went to the study with Meila, and Sylvia quickly made a color to Tali, and Tali also retreated.

Sylvia pretended to be leisurely and picked up the tea, "Father has been working hard recently, and mother should pay more attention to her body." Mrs. Capet looked at her beautiful and sensible daughter, as well as her son-in-law, who was powerful and loved her daughter with all her heart, and was really satisfied, and smiled kindly, "Good Rat." You too, let me hug my little grandson as soon as possible. Abel instantly shy when he heard this, "Definitely, definitely... As long as Thea wants. ”

However, the sound of the crockpot breaking upstairs disturbed the harmony downstairs, and Count Capet threw something angrily upstairs. "Mother, what's wrong with Father?" Sylvia worried, and her mother sighed and shook her head helplessly, "It seems that there have been bumps in business recently, and my temper has become particularly bad. When Abel heard this, he said, "If there is anything my father can help with, please don't shirk it." ”

After a while, Tali returned to Sylvia, who left under the pretext of washing her hands. "What do you hear?" asked Sylvia. "Madame, Earl, he... He said a name and said that it had to be eliminated as soon as possible. Tali hesitated, "Who is it?" Sylvia asked, and Tali struggled for a long time before she spoke—

"Red?!" Ifu exclaimed. Sylvia wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes... It's the eldest lady of Asha Gasha's family, who sat next to you at the wedding that day. ”

Hearing the news, Sylvia couldn't believe her ears and asked Tali "What else did Father say?" The Count was very angry, and kept saying how could it be Asha Gasha, who had been spoiling his good deeds in recent days, so that he was now empty-handed, and Meila asked the Earl, if he got rid of the eldest lady of Asha Gasha's family, it would inevitably cause accidents, but the Count said that he had his own way to get rid of her. ”

"If you want to get rid of the red in the right name... But no matter what, it will attract the investigation and investigation of the Asha Gasha family, I'm afraid the earl wants to..."Yi Fu thought of countless ways to get rid of the eldest lady of the Marquis family in the name of justice, and finally said cautiously.

"You're right... I'm afraid my father thinks the same way, but I can't do it and I don't have the ability... Hopefully, Ifu can save her and save Asha Gasha's family. Although Sylvia and Red are not close friends, they have a good relationship and often have contacts, and now that she knows, she will definitely not watch her father ruin her friends like this.

Ifu soothed Sylvia, "Don't worry, I'll do my best." By the way, did you escape from the prom?" "Yes... I said I'm a little drunk, go upstairs and take a break, and now Tali is watching for me. Yifu was worried about Sylvia's safety, and said, "You go back now, if you haven't appeared for too long, it may lead to suspicion, I will ask Aina to send you back... Lately you have to stay calm and not let the Count suspect you. Sylvia agreed, and went out with Aina.

Yi Fu used the address book to contact Red, "Red, where are you now, I have something important to tell you." ”

No response.

"Red?"

Still no response.

Ifu immediately went to Cornflower, but no one was there.

"Charlie, Rickes, Iseti, are you there?" Ifu anxiously called to the others.

"Yo. Rickes' voice came.

"What's wrong, Yifu?" asked Charly.

"Do you know where Red went?" asked Yifu, "Maybe I'm going to be busy with the Moon Tea Party, can't I contact her?" Xia Li replied, and Red was always busy two days before the Moon Tea Party.

“... I learned that Red might be in danger, but the address book couldn't reach her, and the people weren't among the cornflowers. Yi Fu said helplessly, her weakness is probably the fetters around her.

"Let's go to the places where Red has been in recent days, Rickes will go to Red's house, Iseti will go to the vicinity of the address of the Moon Tea Party, and I'll go to the locations of several organizations that have been exterminated recently, and I'll help you stay between the cornflowers and wait for Red. When Red is not there, Xia Li is in charge of all this, and she calmly assigns the things to be done.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and it was undoubtedly a great torment for her to let Ifu count the time between the cornflowers.

And at this moment, Hong has been unconscious, and is asleep in the room of a certain inn in Moon City, the man next to her is holding a sharp knife, and under his feet is a huge cloth bag, and there is also a medical box, the man finally no longer hesitates, and stabs it down, dripping with blood.
