"It's not a quiet night."

By the warm fireplace, Serala curled up on the sand with a blanket and her eyes half-asleep, in the haze she seemed to hear someone talking to herself, opened her eyes slightly, looked left and right, and suddenly appeared in front of the windowsill a familiar figure who seemed to be looking into the distance.

Covering her mouth and yawning, she rubbed her eyes, winter nights tend to make people drowsy, especially after dinner, when she returns to her bedroom, and falls asleep unconsciously when she lies on the sand with a blanket to keep warm.

"What are you talking about?"

She got up from the sand and reached for a cup of black tea on the table to quench her thirst, but after feeling the coldness of the tea, she sighed and began to brew it again.

"I suddenly had a bad feeling just now." Xia Lantou in front of the windowsill did not reply.

"Intuition?"

Picking up the small kettle that was boiling hot on the mantelpiece, and slowly pouring the boiling water into the teapot where the tea leaves had been replaced, Serrala wiped the fine sweat on her forehead before she had time to reply.

"Yes, my instincts have always been sensitive." Xia Lan said: "Hasn't Pandilia come back yet?" ”

These days, due to safety concerns, the three of them live together in a spacious bedroom, with Serala sleeping in bed with Pandelia and Sharan sleeping in the sand.

"At the end of dinner, she said she was going to the other bedroom to pack up her new clothes, and now she should be showering."

Women are very clean and beautiful, and it is generally difficult for them to tolerate a suit of clothes for several days, since all the housekeepers and servants of the manor have left and disappeared. Their clothes were never washed again. It is even more impossible to expect Xia Lan to cleanse it.

Luckily, the manor still has a lot of the clothes that Pandelia usually wears. Even when the sun was shining, the servants would take the piled laundry out of the courtyard to dry, so there was no musty smell left on the laundry that had been piled up for a long time.

"Tonight you go to the basement for a while." Xia Lan muttered.

"Basement? What an uncomfortable name. ”

Picking up the freshly brewed tea, Serrala smiled wryly on her delicate face.

"Prevention is the only way to go." Charland Road.

"I think Pandelia must have a hard time accepting this." Serala sighed.

"Her will can't change the established arrangement!" Xia Lan said calmly.

Squeak-

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and after bathing, Pandelia, who was dressed in a fresh fragrance, was walking in with a white towel in her hand to wipe her **'s head.

"Your Excellency Xia Lan said that we will probably have to spend the night in the basement tonight." Salara looked sideways at Pandelia, helplessly.

"Why?" Pandelia stopped wiping her head and said in a daze.

"Because Your Excellency Charan thinks that tonight will not be peaceful." Serala pouted.

Pandelia was silent for a while, then moved her gaze to Xia Lan in front of the windowsill and said, "Your Excellency Xia Lan, do you really think so?" ”

"Yes, and the ominous premonition is getting stronger." Xia Lan said in a deep voice.

"Without further ado. Serala and I should head to the basement right now. Pandelia said unexpectedly decisively.

"Don't forget to subdue this thing, it can help you temporarily avoid the perception of ordinary high-ranking powerhouses."

Charan turned around, raised her hand, and threw something at Pandelia.

Pandelia, who is a good skill, took it with one hand, and now it turned out to be two gray potions.

"Now you can go, I need to go out and investigate the situation."

Charan waved at Pandelia and Serrala, then turned back, opened the closed window, and then leapt down and disappeared.

"What a man who does his own thing."

The biting cold wind poured through the open window, and a shivering Serara hurriedly wrapped the blanket around her body, and after drinking the cup of hot tea on the table, she walked straight towards Pandelia.

"It's been that way since I've known him. I just don't know how Winnie endured it in the first place. ”

Pandelia shook her head, smiled helplessly, and then turned and walked towards the door.

"Miss Winnie? I don't know what she's doing now!? ”

Speaking of Winnie, Serrala replied casually.

"I heard you say she's on her way to the city-state of Estak now? It's a great place to be. There is no war, no famine, and compared to today's Sissinia, it can be said that everyone yearns for a prosperous country. Pandelia sighed.

"Oh? Her Highness Pandelia seems to be very familiar with the Castle of Estak Trade, have you ever been there? Serrala was interested in saying that she had spent her life in turmoil, and that she had never left the city of Telalo since her father had fled to her uncle from the Viscount of Frank when she was a child.

"Of course not, these are all things that I have heard, and I used to be a child who loved to listen to stories from the outside world, and many times Viscount Morroen would specially invite bards to tell us about them." Pandelia smiled bitterly. "It's a pity that I can't find the happy time of my childhood ignorance anymore."

When it came to the heavy topic, the two women fell silent in unison.

"Maybe we should bless Miss Winnie for breaking through the bottleneck of a mid-level apothecary in the Estak Trade City-State, where the level of alchemy is extraordinary, far from being comparable to those of us who have poor heritage!" After a while, Pandelia, who had returned to her normal state of mind, diverted the topic.

"Is it because the city-state of Estak is close to the Big 6 Center?" Serala asked.

"That's right, the Estak trade city-state that relies on the Summer Wind Strait is the closest country to the Big 6 Center, and every year there will be countless people who cross the sea to trade and go on gold rush adventures in the Big 6 Center, hehe, in fact, it's ridiculous, in the eyes of those Big 6 centers who claim to be civilized, we are all a bunch of uncivilized barbarians, and we always feel inferior when we face them......" Pandelia said indignantly.

"This is something that can't be helped, because we have been cut off from the Big 6 Center for hundreds of years, and after hundreds of years, maybe the people of the Big 6 Center have long forgotten that there is still a country of human civilization here." Serala sighed inwardly.

"Humph! If it weren't for our common ancestors who crossed the Summer Wind Strait and stationed here to guard against the resurgence of the undead, where did they think the countless years of stability and prosperity came from?! Pandelia said disdainfully.

"Time changes, even the human mind, and people are always forgetful, so it's normal." Looking at such a question, Serala seems unusually flat.

"Forgetting history means betrayal! They will surely swallow the bitter fruit of betrayal in the future! Pandelia said in a deep voice, "You know what? On my way to Adria I heard that the spirits of the undead were beginning to revive! ”

"What? Could it be that the kingdom of Adria, which is on guard against the undead, has no countermeasures? Serala was stunned.

"The Adria Kingdom is now unable to protect itself, the internal politics are out of balance, and the northern barbarians and the undead are attacking, how can the Adria Kingdom turn the tide in such a dangerous situation?!" Pandelia sighed.

"Even so, I believe that the undead will always fail, they are no longer the undead army that swept through Eldran in antiquity, and the strength of humanity is far from that of the weak humans of the past." Serrala said flatly.

"Perhaps."

After talking all the way, they also came to the door of the basement.

The entrance to the basement is cleverly placed next to the fireplace in the hall, and when you twist a lamp on the wall, the wall is instantly reversed and opened halfway.

"It seems like every nobleman's manor castle has these mechanisms." Watching Pandelia open the door, Serara suddenly remembered Fort Gradi.

"Of course, because every nobleman cherishes his life very much."

Pandelia smiled, of course, to put it mildly, the nobles are afraid of death, but as the biggest nobleman in Western Sinia, she doesn't want to speak ill of herself.

"Let's go."

Walking cautiously down the dark staircase, Pandelia didn't look back to remind Serala.

……

After leaving the manor, Xia Lan carefully scouted his surroundings and quickly returned to the manor after nothing more was gained.

When he returned to the manor and saw that Pandelia and Serrala were gone, he knew that they should have entered the basement along the way, while Xia Lan turned out all the lights in the manor, and in an instant, Salland's manor completely merged with the night, and the surface was indescribably eerie and quiet.

He moved a chair and sat down in the hall, with a long sword in his lap, his eyes closed, his whole body motionless as a sculpture.

He's a very patient man, and he doesn't know if anyone will come to ruin the peace tonight, and all he needs to do is wait.

He waited long, long.

Until midnight.

His ears suddenly moved, as if alarmed by some movement.

He opened his eyes, stood up with the hilt of his sword in his hand, and suddenly, he looked up at the dark ceiling and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come down?" ”

"You're the highest-ranking swordsman I've ever seen."

An ethereal low voice echoed strangely in the hall, a black shadow flashed in the air, and Xia Lan's gaze fell with it.

"Where is Her Highness Pandelia?"

The person who came asked directly to the point.

"What are you looking for her?" Xia Lan asked calmly.

"We want to invite her to a place." Come humanely.

"I'm sorry, but Her Highness Pandelia never accepts invitations from strangers." Charland Road.

"Really? It seems that we have to be rude. The visitor sneered.

"Rude, isn't it? Actually, this idea is exactly what I want! ”

When the words fell, the long sword was unsheathed, and a cyan sword qi went straight to the person in front of him in an instant. (To be continued......)
