Chapter 1389: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (5)
At the same time in the rooms of the Grand Hotel Cairo, Zhalfir and Segrade.
Segrade scratched his chest.
He had just used hair dye to dye his whole body a rather deep dark blue, and his body was itchy and uncomfortable. He had just sorted out his gear, tucked a newly-minted extremely light and short Luna Steel dagger into the scabbard of his belt, and was about to go out to follow his father, but he didn't expect it. Who's ringing the doorbell?
But there is such an obstacle.
Ding-dong, ding-dong. The people outside the door were still pressing. Who would be coming to Segrade at this time? Could it be Viscount Luxford's annoying words?
Segrade brought a chair from the living room, walked to the door, and looked out through the fisheye of the door, vigilantly.
The man outside the door was not Luxford. The person waiting outside the door turned out to be a young girl, and she was quite attractive. With slightly wavy blond hair and a fair melon seed face, she looked like a beautiful woman - exactly the type Segrade liked.
"Hmph" The leopard-man boy (Segrad was turned into a child by the magical waters) snorted, got out of his chair, and opened the door.
"Hello, who's meow?" asked Segrad, poking his kitten's head out the door.
"Hello, little friend. The blonde girl smiled politely and said, "May I ask if Mr. Zhalfir and Mr. Segrade are there?" "Well, you're that?" Segrade looked confused. Although the other party is a beautiful woman, the leopard man boy will not completely let down his guard because of this, so let's ask clearly before opening the door.
"Oh, where has my politeness gone. The blonde girl bowed to the teenage boy in front of her, "I'm Juliet Luxford." The second daughter of the Luxford family. My brother, Viscount Luxford, is in the care of your brothers. "Rusford Meow," Segrade's brow furrowed slightly. Sure enough, it was still from the Rusford family, and this woman named Rusford had come here to find Segrade, probably with bad intentions, she and her brother were simply the same - of course, this was just a unilateral idea of Segrade.
Juliet knew how to read words and colors, and when she saw the expression on Segrade's face change instantly, she knew that the leopard boy was wary. She then crouched down and said to the leopard boy in front of her like a child, "Hey, young man, what's your name? Why are you here?" "My name is Hal," Segrade didn't want to use his true identity to deal with the people of the Rustford family, and he said casually, "I'm here to visit my brothers' meows, believing that he has the body of a young man who no one else recognizes." Brother Zhalfir has gone to the game, and Brother Segrade has something to do, and it is estimated that he will not be back until noon tomorrow. "Hal?" Unexpectedly, Segrade's casual lies happened to meet the dismantling expert, and Juliet felt that something was wrong, so she immediately frowned and asked, "You said that your name is also Hal?--that's strange, isn't Howl's child a little black panther? The youngest son of the Palamides family, right? I only met little Hal yesterday, in Fort Elsensen, the base of the Knights of the Eastern Heavens in Great Britain." "Meow-" Segrade felt like he had been pricked with a needle, and his whole body was shocked.
However, his mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately thought of a way to justify himself: "Uh, I, my name is Harlameow too." My full name is Halhades, Brother Zhalfir, they are my cousin Meow. "But you just called them brothers-" "Ahh She didn't know much about the language and customs of the Leopard People, so she was really bluffed by Segrade this time.
"Yes. The language of your leopard people is so confusing. The blonde girl shrugged, "But that's fine." I think it's better to respect other people's customs and not delve too much into them. Uh, little Hal?--that's a strange name-" "You can call me Hades, Big Sister Meow. Segrade corrected very cleverly.
"Well, Hades," corrected Juliet, "your cousins and brothers are out, and you are left alone in your room, how old are you, and how can they leave a child at home like this." "I'm twelve years old. Seeing that he had already made a start, Segrade had to continue making it up: "I'm old enough to take care of myself, and I don't need my brothers to take care of Meow at all." In order to visit my brothers, I also took a boat from Athens to Cairo by myself. "You're here alone? The blonde girl stretched out her hand and touched the head of the cat in Segrade, with a completely childlike expression: "But Egypt has been very unpeaceful recently, and human traffickers are very rampant, so you must be careful when walking on the road." They like to take children like you who don't have much resistance and buy them as slaves in the hands of rich people. Segrade cursed in his heart, he was indeed almost captured by human traffickers today, and it was not the blessing of Viscount Torusfo. The people of the Luxford family are nothing good.
"So" The leopard man boy looked at the blonde girl and asked tentatively, "Big sister, are you going to go back meow?" brothers won't be back for a while, I don't think it's a way for you to wait here all the time. Juliet immediately showed a very confused expression: "Then it's troublesome." I have something very important to talk to the Zhalfel Seglade brothers, and if they're not there, I'll have to wait until they come back. You said that Mr. Segrade was out on business and would be back tomorrow at noon? Then I should at least wait for Mr. Zhalfir? He went to the knockout round of the Round Table Trial, right? Zhalfir deliberately made up an excuse: "After all, you're talking about that brother Zhalfir." It's hard for him to win the game, so he won't come back tonight for the night, and he will go outside and meow. Juliet immediately showed a look of disgust: "Man." "So, you're really going to wait here all the time?" said the leopard boy with a pretending sincere kitten face to hide his sly smile: "In the worst case, you'll have to wait until twelve o'clock tomorrow at noon." It's not impossible for you to wait, I won't stop your meow, big sister. "Children nowadays are so good at talking. Juliet smiled helplessly and wonderingly, "Do you have a way to contact them?" If you have their phone number or something, that's fine. "However, neither Zhalfir nor Segrade went out with any communication equipment. After all, all the belongings they brought with them when they came were confiscated by the organizers of the Round Table Trial, and now they have to keep every single one of them in order to prepare for the knockout round of the Round Table Trial, how can they spend their money on communication equipment that is not of great use?
"They didn't go out with a communicator. Segrade replied, "Anyway, they can't reach Meow when they get outside, so they can only wait here for them to come back." When he said this, he hoped that Juliet would be able to retreat, after all, it was basically impossible for her to wait here for nearly twenty hours.
However, Juliet is a very stubborn and meticulous person who observes things, and she has already noticed that something is wrong, so she smiled indifferently: "Okay, I'll wait here." Anyway, the hotel room I booked was on two floors, and I could come back every once in a while to see if the two brothers had returned. "Uh-" Segrade began to feel that something was wrong.
She looked at the leopard boy with a smile on her face: "Harris, is it really okay for you to be here alone? You obviously came to visit your cousins, but they left you alone in the hotel room, how can this be true?" Would you like to come and wait in my big sister's room? Maybe I can get you some muffins to eat?" "No, no meow. I'm about to go out and meow—" replied Segrade gloomily. He had already packed up and was going to go out to follow his father, Palamides. Juliet's arrival has greatly delayed the Leopard Boy's actions.
"You're going to go out, but I told you, Cairo isn't very peaceful, and it's dangerous for you to have a little kid wandering outside. Juliet asked, "Do you want my sister to come with you?" "But you didn't mean to wait here for Brother Zhalfir and them to come back?" Segrad was going to push off with all his might. It must be troublesome to have a woman acting with him, right?
"The knockout rounds begin at two o'clock in the afternoon," Juliet pulled out her phone and looked at the time, "plus the time it took to fight, the time it took to wait for the verdict to be announced, and the time it took him to get back to the Grand Hotel in Cairo by the means of transportation, would it take about three hours?" Juliet instantly showed a look of disgust. It was obviously Segrade's nonsense, but she took it seriously when she heard a child's words, thinking that Zhalfir was such a person. When Segrade saw this scene, he felt a little sorry for his brother.
"So, I'll go out shopping with you and bring you back at five o'clock, is that okay?" the blonde girl smiled softly and asked, "Let's go, little Harris?" and so on, what the hell is this?
Thinking about it, Segrade's face couldn't help but blush-
Is this dating?!
The progress of things was far beyond the expectations of the leopard man boy, he obviously just wanted to get rid of this pestering girl, why did he suddenly go out on a "date" with Juliet?
"But, but I'm out on a mission, and I'll have to follow old Uncle Palamides" "Alright, alright," Juliet didn't take the child's words seriously, but thought that Segrade was playing some kind of child's game: "Time is short, let's go." She grabbed Segrade's kitten by the paw with one hand and pulled him out.
