Chapter Two Mysterious Visitor
The carriage slowly drove into the green garden, and the faint fragrance of the carefully manicured flower beds was so refreshing. The man in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion leaned against the window of the car and admired the vibrant scene, his handsome face making it impossible to guess his age. Calling him a teenager, his deep eyes and the expression of joy and sorrow that he can't guess when he keeps smiling all the time obviously does not match the title of "teenager"; Calling him a young man, his slightly childish face and cynical attitude all tell that he is still a child. He is the second young master of the Elpitt family, known as the "intelligence house" - Du Wei.
"Young Master, you have arrived at Miss Victoria's mansion, watch your step."
"Ah, thank you Breel." Du Wei politely thanked the coachman who had opened the carriage door for him, stepped out of the carriage gracefully, and took a deep breath.
"Whew~ This place is really pleasant as always."
"Thank you for complimenting Young Master Du Wei, I'm Xiutru, Charlotte? Miss Victoria's Deacon, thank you for coming. After speaking, Xiutru bowed deeply.
"Ah, you're the new deacon of the young lady, aren't you? She mentioned it in the letter. Well...... It looks like a pretty reliable guy~"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing like that, thank you Master Du Wei for the compliment! The young lady has been waiting in the study for a long time, this ...... This side please. ”
Looking at Xiutru, who was slightly flustered and leading the way, Du Wei quickly followed, thinking to himself what a cute and clumsy guy.
After knocking on the door of the study, Shutru politely asked the young lady, and after receiving permission to enter, he opened the heavy door that seemed to separate the study from the outside world. Charlotte? Victoria was sitting behind a huge desk, flipping through a thick stack of files that were stacked taller than a person, and a stack of books on the floor that almost spilled over to the couch in front of the desk. The newspapers and magazines on the ground were opened haphazardly, and there were various circles of handwriting on them. At first glance, I really can't find Miss and her petite figure all at once.
"Ahh Xiao Zhenzhen~ Long time no see~ Do you miss Prince Benduwe~"
Xiutru, who was just about to retire, stopped when he heard this peculiar way of addressing Miss.
“…… I said it a long time ago, don't call me by that name. The young lady frowned, and the hand that was writing something did not stop in the slightest because of Du Wei's words.
"So indifferent~ The loss of people also brought Entremets' strawberry cake to you as a greeting gift~ It's a pity, if you don't eat it, forget it~"
"Huh?! Entremets' Strawberry Cake?! That strawberry cake that tastes so good that it's like going to heaven?! A cake that you can only buy by making a reservation half a year in advance?! The young lady dropped her pen, stood up with a "Teng", floated out of the wall of the book, and landed steadily in front of Du Wei, reaching for the box of cakes.
"Oh, this is really bothering, I don't know who gave me a stinky face just now?" Du Wei raised his hand holding the box, and moved it upwards at the moment when the young lady was about to touch it, and after a few times, the angry young lady beckoned her magic guide book and prepared to start chanting the incantation. Shutru on the side was overwhelmed by this sudden scene, and just wanted to step forward to stop it, Guviyi walked in with the dining cart, patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to ignore it, and smiled and spoke.
"Master Du Wei, please stop teasing Miss."
Du Wei, who heard Guwiyi's voice, trembled in fright, and was targeted by the young lady and snatched the cake box in his hand in one fell swoop.
"You've come just in time, Gurwie, go and put the cake away, Entremets' strawberry cake!"
"Okay, then let's share it with Master Du Wei as a dessert after dinner. I prepared a grape cake and black tea, and if you don't mind, Master Du Wei would like to try it too, although it may not be as exciting as Entremets' cake. ”
"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Du Wei nodded slightly to Guvie, took off his coat, and sat down on the sofa.
"Guviyi, come over after the cake is set, it's just an opportunity to let Shutru know about our work. Come, Sit, Shutru. "Miss took a sip of black tea." Have you had any questions so far? ”
"Ahh Question words... Why did Young Master Du Wei call you 'Little Zhenzhen' just now? And also... That case the other day ......"
"I'll answer this~" Du Wei smiled, confirmed with his eyes to Miss, and then said slowly: "Miss, her name is not allowed to be known." ”
"Not allowed to be known? What do you mean? ”
Looking at Xiutru, who looked puzzled, Du Wei continued: "'Charlotte? The name 'Victoria' is nothing more than a pseudonym that deceives outsiders. Miss's grandmother was the legendary vampire ancestor, and after she disappeared, the name of the true ancestor was temporarily kept by Miss's father, and she inherited the name after Miss's birth. And the vampire True Ancestor has a rule that he is not allowed to be known by his real name. So I call her 'Xiao Zhenzhen', the true ancestor of the true oh~ But it is estimated that there are only some big families with a long history who know this allusion, and they will call her 'Miss'. ”
After saying this long list of words, Du Wei took a sip of black tea, as if waiting for Xiu Tru to understand and digest, and did not speak again, and the young lady also closed her eyes and didn't know what she was recalling, and only the pendulum of the floor clock swayed left and right in the quiet study, and the subtle sound was infinitely amplified.
“…… So that's it...... No wonder I never once heard Mr. Guviy call Mademoiselle by name. As if to break the brief silence, Xiutru was the first to ask. Did Mr. Guwiy already know about this? ”
"Yes, with his character, he must be looking for an opportunity to talk to you. Alright, that's all for the small talk. The original cynical expression on Du Wei's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a serious and serious look. I'm here today to hear from you about the bizarre murder in London the other day. ”
"Ah, something was found that shouldn't have been at the scene, and it was the culprit in this case." The young lady frowned slightly, and opened a small rectangular necklace box, which contained a silver necklace of fine workmanship. In the center of the necklace is a pendant in the shape of a small flower, and a small red gemstone sparkles in the sunlight.
"This ...... This is the Blood Demon Crystal! Du Wei's eyes widened when he saw the red spar, but he quickly calmed down, but his expression was more solemn than before. …… With only one carat killing so many people, it's no wonder that Inspector Robt has to name you. But why does this stuff appear anywhere? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guviyi knocked on the door and entered the study. Seeing the Blood Demon Crystal in the young lady's hand, he was not surprised, but sat down next to Xiutru and asked him, "Xiutru, do you know what this thing is?" After receiving a negative answer, he continued to explain, "Blood Demon Crystals and ordinary Demon Crystals are completely different things. Ordinary magic crystals are transparent sky blue, mainly for magic and spell amplification, low price and easy to produce, in the demon world is very widely used.
"And the Blood Demon Crystal ...... It can be said to be an enhanced version of the magic crystal, but it also comes with a powerful curse. The amplification ability of the Blood Crystal is terrifying, and half the size of a small fingernail can make a human who does not know magic or spells unleash a forbidden spell that is enough to destroy an entire country.
"Of course, the price of using the Blood Demon Crystal is huge, it will control the evil people in their hearts to hunt more lives to become its nutrients, so it is not the human being who is using the Blood Demon Crystal, but the Blood Demon Crystal is controlling the human race. The Blood Demon Crystal is a forbidden existence, and there are very few people who know about its existence, and the only one who can completely control it is the young lady who is the True Ancestor. ”
“…… Original...... So that's it...... Isn't it dangerous for us to be here? ”
"Ah~Don't worry~It's okay~" Du Wei looked at Xiutru, smiled at him, and pointed to Miss. "With Miss here, no matter how powerful the Blood Demon Crystal is, it will obediently turn into a broken stone. Moreover, the impact of the Blood Demon Crystal on human beings is relatively large, as long as we non-humans don't eat it or have too strong darkness in our hearts, it will basically not have an impact. ”
“…… That's good......" As if relieved, Xiutru touched his chest.
"Okay~ Now that everyone has arrived, we can almost start talking about the magical experience of the past few days~ Miss?"
"Hmm." The young lady who had finished eating a small piece of grape cake looked up at Du Wei. "Then let the Guvii tell you, I'll add details."
"Yes, Miss." Guviyi nodded and began to speak slowly.
