Chapter 20: The Whirlwind Butler and the Confused Me

"Miss. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You're back. A young man who looked a little sissy greeted Miss Lori in a decent butler suit.

Bag-chan looked at Lori's home and sighed, "Your home is really spectacular." ”

Isn't that spectacular? Is this obviously showing off your wealth? This hall alone is enough for people to play football. And it's not just plain simple decorations, but every few steps there will be a level of collectibles. I'm not very knowledgeable, but just by looking at it, I can probably know that these things are not worth much.

"The guest praised it." The eldest lady smiled a little embarrassed.

Diana's expression was a little complicated, as if she sensed some kind of worldly malice.

Why, exactly? Well.

It's probably because the attributes coincide, if you remember, Diana is a puppet magician, and generally this profession costs a lot of money. Other words...

"It's a bit presumptuous, but are you the eldest lady of the Philip family?" Diana said bluntly a little differently than usual.

Miss Lori still said kindly: "No, the Philip family has become the Von Ruisi family." ”

I was a little confused, so I asked, "The Philip family?" Is there any reason? Diana. ”

Diana thought for a moment, and then replied systematically: "Actually, the Philip family is famous for their undefeated trait and the abundance or even wealth they possess. ”

I'm a little interested in this.

"The founder of the Philip family was the illegitimate son Alain. Alan. Philip's identity has not been recognized since birth. But Alain's father died before he could give birth to any children. As a result, the duke of Alain's father was robbed by outsiders. However, Alain did not collapse because of this, and joined forces with King Zhongzheng (the great-great-grandfather of Bag the Great) to reclaim the dukedom. ”

But Alain was attacked by the king because he threatened the position of the king of Zhongzheng. Later, Alain lost his duke title in a war with other nobles. He died in the dungeon of another nobleman. ”

"But Alain's Philip family stayed. Alain's son, Lance, chose a path that was difficult for people to understand at the time, and entered business from an adventurous direction. Despite many failures, the Philip family has always challenged. ”

In the end, the Philip family also managed to become one of the richest families in the empire. At the same time, because they were both nobles and holders of wealth, the Philip family ate very well even among dukes and even kings. ”

Miss Lori smiled and said, "But the Philip family has split, and now our Feng Ruisi family inherits 80% of its wealth." ”

Diana was a little surprised: "When did it happen?" ”

Miss Lori recalled, and then said, "Well, it was probably last week. I shaved the rotten old guys and threw them out. However, the name of the Philip family has not been retained. Alas, 20% of the wealth. ”

The housekeeper boy comforted: "Miss, I believe you can make the name of Feng Ruisi louder than Philip." ”

Miss Lori nodded and didn't say anything more.

"By the way, it's a bit rude to have a guest stand here and wait so long." Miss Lori clapped her hands, and then said, "Link, go and prepare some tea, we're going to the reception room to talk." ”

The housekeeper boy snorted, and then disappeared with a snort.

Tsk, this speed. This boy is a powerful character.

"Anyway, Iris, I have a question. How old are you this year? It looks like he's just a kid. "I don't know why Alan suddenly started to have convulsions, and actually asked this cane-making question.

I quickly explained, "That, Alan didn't mean it. It's just that he sometimes doesn't know how to measure..."

Iris shook her head and said very nonsensically, "No, I'm actually shocked a little by Allen's question." To be honest, even I don't know my age very well. I don't know when I stopped remembering my age. Now it seems that it is really a bit shocking. ”

Alan was shocked: "Really? Could it be that you are not the very developed type? ”

This guy doesn't know any etiquette. Is it that he usually has paste in his head?

Iris tilted her head a little embarrassedly, and then changed the subject: "Let's go to the reception room first." ”

Then, the reception room.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what you guys do, Alan? Could it be that you are here for tourism? Iris asked.

I sighed, self-sentimental, travel. Maybe it's really right.

Alan replied solemnly: "No, we are an adventure party!" And it's a powerful adventure group with a 100% success rate. I'm the leader of this adventure group. ”

Yo, I'll give full marks for this forced pretend. But people have already seen it.

"It's really you! I've heard a long time ago that an adventuring party is very powerful and solves a lot of amazing problems. "It's a bit of a shame," she said, "but it's a bit of a shame that this party doesn't have a name. ”

I've raised my forehead, is it that rumor again? Could it be a means of Emiya Kiritsugu? It's literal.

Alan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I see? Who, Mullingia, come up with a name. ”

Damn, this guy, looking for death? Yes?!

Cut, forget it, it's better to save face in front of people: "Name, what do you think of Esby?" ”

He looked at me puzzled: "Huh? Does the name have any significance? Why did you come up with such a name? ”

Well, it's still a bit of a fire. Forget it, just look at him as a pseudo-mother.

Well, it's still cute.

Anyway: "Ah, it doesn't make much sense, but if you really want to think about a name, it's better to think about it after everyone is here." ”

Alan nodded, touched his chin and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. ”

Iris was a little strange: "You still have teammates." ”

Alan nodded and said, "Yes, there is also an assassin and a king. ”

"Poof."

The tea I had just drunk squirted out all at once.

Are you so stupid? Why do you talk about everything! Was it really stupid to be beaten by Deng Jiaer's sledgehammer?

"Guest, please don't waste refreshments." The butler boy stared at me like this.

Tsk, so rich that he can't even afford to order tea.

The housekeeper boy said, "Although there is a suspicion of boasting, I still have to explain to the eldest lady that the tea that the guests drink is the best tea brewed from the special tea imported from the East." As far as the price is concerned, it is already about five hundred gold coins per cup. ”

"Poof!"

I can't help but squirt again.

What kind of tea is so expensive!

And ah! Sure enough, it's mind reading again! Why does anyone read minds, bastard!

The butler boy looked at me unkindly, as if he was unhappy that I had wasted refreshments. Well, it's like a half-starved person seeing someone dumping chicken legs in the garbage.

Then again, it's unlikely.

"Could it be that your eldest lady pays you very little salary?" I can't believe it.,It looks like Miss Lori isn't so black-bellied.。

The butler boy's expression was a little strange, and it seemed that he was unspeakable.

My curiosity has grown. What the hell is going on?

The housekeeper boy couldn't stand my eyes, and retreated behind Miss Lori as if he was evading.

Alas? What's going on? Could it be that Miss Lori actually has an unknown side? Inhumane oppression of employees? Wrappers? Little girl who sells girls?

I'm thinking about it. Diana came to me with a sleepy bag-chan in her arms and said, "Mulinthia, when are we leaving?" Bag-chan is already very sleepy. ”

Seeing the intimacy of these two people, I had the illusion of wow, lilies blooming. But what's the matter.

"Well, we're supposed to stay overnight. The eldest lady seems to have something to ask us for. I explained.

Diana tilted her head, as if she didn't understand my words, but she didn't question anything more, but chose to believe me directly: "So what about Tiel and Deng Jia'er?" ”

I waved my hand and said with some exaggeration, "Don't worry about them." They chose not to say hello and leave, which means that they have their own way to find us. ”

Diana snorted, and then went to the eldest lady with Bag-chan to ask questions.

After the two of them were taken away by the housekeeper boy, only Miss Lori, Alan and I were left in the guest room.

"Alan, are you really good at solving puzzles?" Miss Lori has been talking for so long, and finally got to the point.

Allen, this guy was so confident that he immediately shouted: "Of course! There is no problem that can stump us. ”

Oh my God, this guy.

Isn't this a big hat for me? I just don't know what to do. Even if it's a mother, it's a little unpleasant.

It's pretty cute, though.

"Then I also have something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's appropriate." Miss Lori is still very polite and not pressing. But as far as Alan's stupid case goes.

"No problem! Leave it all to us. ”

What shall I say? Sure enough?

Miss Lori also seemed to know that I was the more reliable person, so she didn't just look at Allen alone, but looked at me: "What does Mr. Mullincia think?" ”

I sighed and said, "We're not in a hurry, it's okay to stay for a few days, but I can't guarantee that we can solve the problem." ”

Miss Lori smiled and said, "That's enough, I trust you." ”

Really, they're all hat masters. Just squeeze my kind labor.

"I'll do my best." That's all I can say.

Miss Lori smiled, and then began to introduce the question.

"Actually, since we in the Philip family collect some strange things, we often have something in our treasure trove that is terrifying to others. However, under our secrecy measures, these things are never known to others. ”

"However, what is more wretching is that when reforming the family, a member of the Philip family who knew some secrets was caught in the hands of those rotten old men. After the negotiations were fruitless, something was leaked. ”

"Link has also been feeling like our house being spied on a lot lately, so I'm a little scared."

Miss Lori thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I thought about giving up some things, because these things won't do anything in our house." But what I've heard is that some of these things are very powerful and can't fall into the wrong hands. ”

I asked, "So you're trying for us to investigate the identity of the person who peeked into the treasure?" ”

Miss Lori nodded.

"Well, that sounds like a lot to do." Alan said.

I don't even want to worry about this guy's IQ anymore.

"If that's all there is to it, now I can tell you the answer. It is estimated that the Assassins are peeping at your treasure, and eighty percent of the delay is due to the intervention of the Templars, who also want it. "I speculated.

After all, the Assassin Order tended to mobilize a large number of Assassins for only two things.

One is the prophet and the other is the holy artifact.

"Is it credible?" Miss Lori was a little surprised.

I nodded, and said, "You can also support what Alan said, one of us is an Assassin, and she is also an ancient Assassin. ”

Miss Lori said with some joy, "Then it means that it will be no problem to hand over the treasure to the Templars." ”

I'm a little unsure: "It's hard to say. Anyway, let's see the situation first, I think she'll contact me. ”

Miss Lori sighed: "It's great to meet you, otherwise I would have been deceived in a daze." ”

No, I don't think that's likely, I think it's more likely that you'll end up spending money to get rid of the Assassins and the Templars.

Alan gave a hache and said, "Miss, it's almost time for us to rest after we talk." ”

Miss Lori nodded and said, "Link, I'm going to trouble you to take the guests to rest again." ”

The housekeeper boy who had just come back shook his head: "It's nothing, the eldest lady is polite." ”

Guest bedroom.

I looked at the moon outside, the window was wide open, but I didn't dare to close my eyes.

Who dares to close their eyes! There's an Assassin staring at it! I saw the white shadow moving on the opposite building! That's not the ghost, it's an assassin. Out of nowhere, killing invisible assassins.

"Poof."

She came in through the window.

"You didn't sleep, did you?" Tiel asked me.

I snorted: "Aha, who dares to sleep, there are assassins staring at this side." ”

Tiel complained speechlessly: "Assassins are not so scary, you lock the window and you'll be fine." And they don't have the courage to make a move at will, this is a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

Can I tell her it's because she's scared and can't sleep? Awkwardly, he said, "What, do you know what they're looking for?" ”

Tiel nodded and said, "They're looking for the golden apple." The Hallows that controls people's hearts. ”

I'm shocked, Golden Apple, if there is any Hallows in Assassin's Creed that is most famous, it is undoubtedly the Golden Apple, which is almost the most buggy Hallows. Control the human mind. While only Ezio was able to control people's rage and vitality at the cost of life force (and AltaΓ―r's mentor could use the golden apple to hallucinate others), controlling people's minds was still frenzied by its power.

I asked, "Do you want the golden apple, Tiel?" ”

Tiel was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, then said, "Well, you see, many of the Precursor ruins will require the Golden Apple as a key to open. If this golden apple can be in your hand, it will be much easier to see the sun ruins in the future. ”

Tiel thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, let's get the golden apple." ”

I smiled and said, "Isn't that perfect?" ”
