Chapter 24: Doll

"Good afternoon, Master Sewit. ”

"Good afternoon, Master Sewit. ”

"Good Afternoon ......"

......

Donald walked into the courtyard, the maids and attendants bowed to salute, this situation made Donald very unaccustomed for a while, and his good upbringing made him subconsciously have to respond, and every time Huxley reminded him behind him.

Because the original Sevet Talos would not greet these inferior servants, the limit of what he could do was only a slight nod of greetings.

In the past half a month, Donald has devoured two soul fragments one after another, and he has not received much useful information except for some information about the internal situation of the Talos family, most of which are memories of the guy Sewit eating, drinking, and having fun...... At present, Donald sees his life as it seems to be summed up in these four words.

It turns out that devouring soul shards is not something that anyone can do, even with the help of Lilo, a high-ranking undead.

Rao is a much stronger soul power than Sewit Taros, and it takes a week to digest after devouring 1/7 of the latter's soul fragments, and various side effects will occur during this period, including confusion of personal consciousness and mental exhaustion.

In fact, if he had a choice, Donald would never use this method to access the memories in Sewit Talos's mind, which would be simply torturing himself.

However, I really can't find a better way in a short period of time.

Of course, there are advantages to doing this, and this confusion of consciousness began to make Donald's gestures begin to subconsciously move closer to Sewit Talos, and his temperament has also changed.

To some extent, there are losses and gains.

"Britney, where's Mullin?"

Donald, who had walked into the hall, asked as he looked at the young maid who was walking towards him.

"Miss Murlin is studying with Miss Cecilia in the garden behind. ”

Britney came over and took Donald's coat, along with his emerald staff, and whispered.

She is Donald's personal maid, usually responsible for Donald's diet and daily life with Huxley, whether it is her appearance or work ability, Huxley is carefully selected, in the eyes of many nobles, the personal maid is actually similar to a lover, but the status is one level lower, belonging to the woman who comes and goes when she is called.

Sewit Taros had several such valets before, and after Donald took over, these people had been dismissed by Huxley for various reasonable reasons within half a month, and a new batch was recruited.

Stephanie was initially a little dissatisfied with this, in her opinion, taking care of Donald was her personal matter, and those strange women had no idea how Donald's lifestyle could take her place.

However, with her appointment as Donald's personal secretary, she has recently been learning to deal with various affairs with Huxley, and she doesn't even have time to follow Donald when he goes out on tour, so she has no time to do these things, and in the end she can only compromise.

After all, Stephanie also knew in her heart that although she would not completely replace Huxley in the future, she would definitely take over part of the work from him, and Donald would not let Huxley manage all the affairs of his hands, there was no doubt about it.

"Well, I'll go find her...... You continue to pay attention to the interests over there, and work with Stephanie to draw up a lease contract for me for the properties that are going to be developed, and you should know what the content is, is there a problem?"

Recently, Donald found that Huxley, the old man, is indeed very useful, as long as it is what he orders, he will give him some reasonable suggestions while completing it to the letter, and only after obtaining his consent will he revise the plan, otherwise he will never do the slightest superfluous thing even if his ideas are correct.

With such a talented but observant subordinate, it is no wonder that Sewvett Talos would have delegated power to him before.

"I understand, Master Sewvett, there is an investigation into Salazar and I feel it is necessary to report it to you. ”

Huxley, in addition to some normal business, has been working with Anthony to track down what Salazar had done before he died.

"Got a clue?"

Donald raised an eyebrow, and his steps toward the garden paused.

There are three parts of Mineato's power, Donald has now accounted for two shares, and the remaining part is naturally more concerned about him, if he was passive to fight before, now with a city and a large forest as a backing, he already has the capital to hunt for the last share of power.

No one doesn't want to be strong, Salazar's destructive power has made Donald taste the real sweetness, just awakened the talent of agile thinking, his real combat power is now not weaker than Huxley, if he can get the power of pain, he even has the confidence to completely suppress Huxley.

And if you want to know where the demon dependents who have the power of pain are, you naturally have to start with Salazar.

"Pope Salazar became your subordinate a year ago, and the strange thing is that during this year, he didn't do anything strange, most of the time he was practicing and fighting, neither cultivating his own henchmen, nor relying on the name of the Talos family to collect money, it seems that he is completely doing things for you. ”

"Do you think he really wants to help me?"

Unbutton the neckline and return your neck to freedom, this is his own villa, Donald naturally doesn't have to continue to pretend.

"No, it's not normal because he didn't seek personal gain, Mr. Anthony and I have found out some of his past, Salazar is a criminal wanted by the Imperial Government and the major sects, and he has come to Renus for neither power nor wealth, there must be a greater plan, and I am afraid that only you know the content of this. ”

Huxley's "you" in this sentence is not Donald, of course, but the original Selvette Taros.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Selvette Talos and Pope Salazar have reached some kind of secret agreement to let this demon, who is also at the peak of the awakening level, do things for him, and he is also a confidant, just like the state between Donald and Huxley now.

"So the problem is still on me...... You go get busy first. ”

After checking things around, and finally found that the key was still in the memories recorded by those soul fragments, Donald rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and said.

As the man of the highest status in Renas, the place where Sewit lived was naturally the most luxurious.

Although the area is not as large as that of the luxury estates in Birmingham, the landscape plants inside are just as delicate, especially the huge old oak tree in the middle of the garden, which is particularly eye-catching, even in this hot day, the temperature in the garden is still not very refreshing.

When Donald arrived, Julia was sitting at the white table and chair under the tree, reading, while Lilo was leaning against the branch above, not knowing whether she was resting or in a daze.

"What have you been looking at lately?"

Donald took off his mask and sat down in the chair across from Julia, and was relieved to learn from Huxley that Sewether only wore a mask when he was out or about to meet outsiders, after all, as the weather got hotter, it would only make people feel stuffy on his face.

"Literary books, take them from your study to pass the time, Uncle Anthony and Sister Eve have been very busy lately, only me and Mu Lin stay at home every day. ”

Julia supported her chin with one hand, looked at Donald's face, and said with a wrinkled face,

"There is no place for children to play in the rich area, so they can only go to eat, but I have eaten all the shops in the rich area......"

Entertainment in this era is undoubtedly very scarce, even in the wealthy areas, most people's daily entertainment is informal afternoon tea and enjoying opera or concerts, for Julia these social "elegant" activities are obviously still early, and she has been wild with Donald and them for nearly a year, where can she endure the rules of high society.

Occasionally, there would be theater performances, but not often, because many people in the upper class thought that theaters performed by civilians were sensationalist performances that did not suit their status.

"How about I find you something to do?"

Donald obviously didn't have any free time to think about entertainment projects recently, and his fingers tapped on the table, and after a while, he thought of something,

"You can use your ability to plant ghost guards in this villa, and you have to find a way to keep them from being discovered by the people in the villa and those who intruder on the premise of ensuring that these ghost guards can detect any abnormalities, and the reward is that you can choose another strange object in the treasure house. ”

Donald knew the location of the treasure vault and the password to open it after absorbing the second soul fragment of Sewit, it was a spatial curiosity, which looked like a large closet on the outside, but after walking in, he could enter a special warehouse by chanting a spell, which stored a lot of strange and good things in addition to treasures, most of which even Sewvet himself didn't know what to do, after all, he was an ordinary person who didn't know anything, and any strange thing that required mental power to activate was insulated from him.

"I want that doll called Annabelle!"

This is a strange object that Julia has in mind, in fact, it is not so much a strange thing as a cursed object, even in that warehouse it has to be sealed with a special inscription box, Donald was busy with affairs, and he was worried that it would hurt Julia, so he didn't let her take it.

"Well, if you insist...... But you have to be careful when you take it, and if there's a problem, get the ghost to come and let me know right away. ”

"I will, goodbye, Big Brother Sewitt!"

As soon as Donald was relieved, Julia closed the book and rushed to the villa, the closet was in Sewit's bedroom, and she knew the content of the activation spell.

Seeing Julia go away, Donald shook his head helplessly, got up and walked to the old oak tree and sat down, leaned against the trunk and looked at Lilo, who was still among the branches, raised his hand to lay a hidden barrier and slowly closed his eyes.

A gray mist fell and melted into Donald's skull, and in a moment his brow began to furrow unconsciously.

Lilo's perception enveloped the area around the old oak at the same time, banishing any creature that tried to get closer.

That's why Donald would be so relieved to devour soul fragments outside the villa.
