Chapter XIV: The Duke of Oran
There was only a small amount of light, barely enough for a few people to see the road in front of them, but there was nothing to the left and right, not even Pijer's very eyesighted husky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alice was so frightened by this strange atmosphere that she hurriedly patted Betty on the head. The Persian cat was annoyed by the disturbance of sleeping, and the faint light of purification was spurred out by this emotion, barely serving some illuminating effect.
Pijie on the ground secretly scolded this water tank for being a stupid embryo. Originally, those people were coming for the light of purification, but she deliberately put it on the bright side. It's like a girl stripping naked in front of a man, which is simply seducing a crime.
The two guys in black dresses behind him almost completely blended into the darkness in places where the light could not shine, and they could only hear a cold voice from time to time: "Your Excellency is waiting in the hall...... Pay attention to the steps you underfoot. β
From the outside, it doesn't look like a grand building at all, but inside it is very spacious.
It is a two-storey duplex building with a very retro interior. Whether it's a wall lamp with a silver stand inlaid with red crystals, or a bare wall from a famous artist from an ancient country. The body oil paintings all bring out the extraordinary taste of the owner.
In the middle of the hall was a rich fur blanket, and a wrinkled man in a rich silk robe stood with two young maids in a costume distinctly men's taste. The old man was smiling, and although he looked a little tired, his bearing was not weak.
"Welcome, everybody. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would have the opportunity to see the Holy Light race of Atlantis appear here, and it seems that the divine favor to me is far more than the previous ones. - Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the Duke of Oran. β
The old man's words conveyed so much information at once that it was difficult for the group to fully digest it for a while.
The old man who claimed to be the Duke of Oran smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be gathering to the corners of his mouth: "Sit down first, if there is anything you don't understand, I can answer them for you one by one." - Dasco, come over here and see who you have offended. β
On the other side of the carpet, the man standing in the dark shadow answered and slowly walked towards this side. Because everyone's attention was focused on the old man in the middle of the room just now, and they didn't notice that there was still a guy standing here.
Looking at it now, Pigger couldn't help but let out a low growl. Although the other party's goblin form has been fully revealed, just looking at the fat belly, you can conclude that this is the goblin fat man who killed and escaped from prison, Dasco Popov.
The difference was that the guy was no longer in tatters, but was dressed in a beautiful garment woven with gold threads, which, though somewhat relevant, proved that the Humpty Dumpty was not as depressed as Piger had imagined.
Although Anne was not present when Piger was doing the blame thing, through the introduction of Sem during the day, the fairy-like Anne already knew what had happened before, but at this time she just pretended not to know anything.
Alice, on the other hand, had just shaken off her fear, and began to be curious about the house in front of her, and sat down on the sofa awkwardly after being dragged by Anne.
The light-fairy, who usually felt good about herself, couldn't help but be annoyed to find that the damn goblin next to her was always looking at her chest with a gloomy faceβwhen in fact the other person was just looking at the Persian cat with the holy light in her arms.
"Dasco Popov......" Alice chewed on the name, feeling like she had heard it somewhere, and then her body suddenly shook, pointing at the other party and shouting, "I remember, the notice has this name, it turns out that you are the one who escaped from prison. Posture Murderer! β

Pije felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
Being pointed at and scolded by others. Goblin Dasco snorted, although his expression was still fierce and cold, he didn't have a seizure.
The old man, who claimed to be the Duke of Oran, saw that the guests he invited had paid attention to other places from the beginning, and the wrinkles on his face moved unnaturally like two water streaks colliding together, but the whole was still amiable, and while enjoying the kneeling massage of the two maids, he said: "In this world that advocates justice, I believe that there is nothing that cannot be explained. If you have any misunderstandings, it is better to speak openly and honestly. β
Goblin Dasco bowed his whole body very low: "My lord, as your most humble servant, although I have always been low-key and frugal, you know my true wealth and quality, and I will never do anything to steal for a few silver coins." Whether someone framed the incident that happened two days ago has a lot to do with this cat that glows with holy light, or that hateful dog. My guess is that this must be a conspiracy behind it. β
The last sentence directly pointed the finger at Anne and Alice.
The girl in the water tank was the most anxious, and she stood up in a hurry, and her huge body almost knocked over the manservant who was pouring coffee on the side.
"What did my Pippi and Betty do, you have to make it clear. Look at your thief-eyed look is not a good person, you steal something and still don't admit it, and even say that it has something to do with us? I don't even know you. Could a girl as cute as Anne and I be bad people? If I see you damn fat man on the street, I don't even bother to look at it......"
In any case, when someone says something unfavorable to her, Alice will definitely use her ample lung capacity and incorruptible tongue to refute the other party speechlessly.
In fact, deep in Alice's heart, she already vaguely feels that this matter may really be related to the pet CP who usually likes to get together and be naughty, but out of the mentality of a selfish little woman, of course she won't admit it easily.
The goblin fat man's already ugly and blue face now looks even greener. In front of Duke Oran, he didn't dare to refute this manic woman like a madman, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
In addition, although he did feel the power of the Holy Light when it happened, he was not sure that it was the Persian cat that emitted the Holy Light all over his body to do it, and everything was just what he thought was a reasonable speculation.
In this way, Duke Oran, who had behaved like a peacemaker from the first appearance, seemed to have found a breakthrough point at this time, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is indeed a misunderstanding." The aliens who were also exiled here by Atlantis, regardless of which camp they were in before, should now shake hands and make peace. In this plane, as the founding duke, I still have this face. β
