Chapter 447: The Hermit Monk (Second Shift)

Here it comes! Ling'er suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Is it a butler!?" I asked.

"Hmm!" Ling'er continued, "Okay, let me down, he's ready to come." ”

After putting her down, I touched the back of my neck: "Are you sweating?" ”

"Not really!" Her blushing and shy appearance was very cute, so that I was embarrassed to continue to tease, and Wang Shuai on the side looked at us with an embarrassed expression.

After a while, the butler trotted to the bottom of this relatively hidden windowsill, and looked at us with a somewhat panicked expression: "You shouldn't come again!" ”

"Why?" I asked.

"If the master finds out, we'll all be finished!" As he spoke, he looked around and looked extremely alert.

"We?" I smiled lightly, "Looks like you've seen us as part of your own." ”

"Long story short, are you guys for the Holy Grail!?" The housekeeper asked a little knowingly.

"Yes." I also replied cheerfully.

"But it's not here now."

"How do you know?" I playfully asked, "Could it be Fernand who told you?" ”

The housekeeper was a little hesitant.

"Okay, let's talk about birthdays." I changed my words, "Fernand refuses to celebrate his birthday, because he is afraid that others will know his age, right?" ”

When I asked, his expression obviously changed subtly, it was an expression that was revealed by humanity, and it seemed that Wang Shuai's guess was correct.

"He's an Eternal, right?" I struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask.

"You ......," the butler's mouth trembled, and then calmed down a little, "you are really not ordinary people, and you understand the meaning of my words so quickly." ”

"Of course, we have a mission." I smiled confidently, "In that case, let's make a long story short as you want." "My start to get serious," where exactly is the Holy Grail now? ”

"The Lord never tells outsiders about the Holy Grail, so I don't know." He spread his hands helplessly, "But I and you have always believed in the existence of the Holy Grail, if you want to say the reason, it may be because the old man is immortal, you know, only those who have used the Holy Grail will do this." ”

"Then how do you conclude that the Holy Grail isn't here?" Wang Shuai couldn't help but ask.

"Because ......," he seemed a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he still mustered up the courage to say, "because my ancestors have been stewards here for generations, just to find the Holy Grail, but hundreds of years have passed, and still nothing has been found......"

"Your ancestors have been stewards in this manor for generations!?" Wang Shuai felt incredible.

"Normal, the mansion of Cassio is the same, and the housekeeper is the son inheriting the father's business." I think of Adam, didn't his grandfather also be the butler of the mansion, and let his grandson continue to be in the profession after his death? Had it not been for the death of Adam's father, he would have taken over the mantle from his own father.

"It's a big manor, though." The steward continued, "But if it took hundreds of years to find it, it only means that the Holy Grail is not here. ”

"There is some truth to that...... I asked, frowning, "then do you say that your ancestors have been stewards in this manor for generations, and that they are all Fernand?" ”

The butler nodded: "That's why they are convinced of the existence of the Holy Grail, but the result is regrettable......"

Through later conversations, I learned that the housekeeper's name was Molay, of course, this is just a surname, because this profession is a family inheritance, so once competent, he will give up his original name, and finally only use his surname.

According to Molay, he is actually a descendant of the former head of the Templar Order, Jacques de Molay, and although the Order was forcibly disbanded and Jacques was burned to death, his descendants continued the Order's mission, which was to find the Holy Grail!

So in this way, our goal and Morlay are actually the same, and after identifying each other, we decided to cooperate, and we also promised Morley that if we find the Holy Grail, we will first use it against the Phantom Corp., and then we will return it to him for safekeeping, so that Molay can give an account to his ancestors.

Molay also revealed to us that when he was in his grandfather's time, someone came to ask about the Holy Grail, a hermit from abroad, and Fernand had entertained him at that time, but a few days later, the man did not say goodbye, so Molay also wondered if the Holy Grail had been taken by the hermit.

After this incident, Fernand no longer welcomed outsiders to the manor, especially those who were curious about the Holy Grail, and they were deeply disgusted.

When we mentioned whether Fernand had other subordinates, Molay said that he did not know, he never knew that there were other people in the manor besides him and his wife and children who served Fernand.

"Alright, it's almost time." Molai looked at his watch, "It's time to prepare lunch for the master." ”

As he was about to leave, I asked, "Monsieur Morley, since you have been serving Fernand in the manor, how did you and your wife meet?" ”

My question attracted Ling'er's strange eyes, maybe she thought I was gossiping.

Mo Lai replied disapprerovingly: "The marriage problem of our family has always been arranged by the master. ”

How can it be the same as the ancient Chinese "parents' orders and concubines"? I can't help but sigh at the beauty of free love, such as myself and Hanqin. It's like a lyric says: The object of your liking has to find it yourself. Because I think that's the only way to achieve true happiness.

After Molai left, we also returned to the same way to the location where the ball was, and on the way Wang Shuai looked sad again, I asked: "What do you think about what Molai said just now?" ”

"Hermit abroad......," he paused, "first of all, we must find out which country this foreign country refers to. ”

"Do you suspect that something was taken by that guy?" I said as I helped him open the hatch of the ball.

After the three of them arrived at the ball, Wang Shuai pondered a question repeatedly: "As a hermit monk who has been hiding behind the crowd and repenting through asceticism, why would he become interested in the Holy Grail?" Do you want eternal life? And that so-called asceticism, which usually required fasting, and he accepted Fernand's hospitality......"

"This must be a fake hermit!" Ling'er picked it up, but it was actually a joke.

But this joke woke up Wang Shuai instantly, and he slapped his palm: "Yes, there is a problem with the identity of that hermit monk!" ”

At this time, the sphere we were in quickly rose into the air, and when it reached a certain height, it moved forward through the clouds, away from the manor on the ground!
