Chapter 108: Crisis (Guaranteed Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Inside the Chengnan Manor.
Mrs. Wen Li changed into a snow-white dress, which the dark elf Miss Ini had bought to celebrate the rebirth of the village, and she did not wear it once.
When Ini presented the dress to Wen Li, the Earl's heart warmed. What touched her was not because of how expensive or cherished the dress was, but because she felt the gratitude and care of Allen's family for her, which came from the bottom of her heart.
In Ini's opinion, if it weren't for the cavalry sent by Mrs. Wen Li, the dark elf village might still be in dire straits, and a dress would be nothing.
Others respect or respect themselves, and that is nothing, because Allen said "This is a friend", and everyone did not ask anything, but accepted themselves sincerely and treated them warmly, that is, Cayton, although he was a little surprised when he saw him, he didn't say anything, just like he treated his companions, and drank a glass of wine with himself.
"Why, suddenly a little envious of Alan's life." Mrs. Wen Li looked at Allen, who had already been slightly drunk by her friends, with a hint of excitement in her heart.
At this moment, Miss Shirley was quietly staying by Allen's side, not going anywhere, just looking at Allen, Wen Li seemed to remember that many years ago, she was also looking at her husband motionlessly, and for a while, her eyes were full of tears.
The Earl is very interested in how Alan and Shirley got to know each other - why they are so good.
Daile stood beside Mrs. Wen Li, and after a night of getting along, Daile found that the lady who was actually a high-ranking lady was not so happy, and like Wen Li, she also looked at Shirley and Allen silently.
The two talked like best friends.
"It is said that Mr. Allen first met Shirley. Then he said that the girl was her disciple, and he had to take her as an apprentice. Miss Dale told her everything she knew.
"Later, Mr. Allen did take Shirley in the place of his teacher, but none of us have ever seen what Mr. Allen said the mentor looked like. All along, it was Alan who taught Shirley spells personally. ”
"Sister Shirley is only twelve years old, but with Allen's help, she has already been appointed as a first-order mage." Daile said.
"I heard that Alan is very nice to this little girl, right?" Mrs. Wen Li asked with a smile.
Dale nodded earnestly. Not to mention that Alan thinks about Shirley in everything on weekdays, and from time to time he thinks about something to share with this female disciple, that is, he flew to save people that night, and you can see Allen's care for Shirley.
Look at the mechanical puppet walking around in the manor, walking with big feet, as if learning to dance as a human, and the summoned imp flying in the air with a majestic face, and the black-robed mysterious person who has been around Miss Shirley in the past two days. All of this is the existence that Alan used to protect Shirley.
Speaking of the black-robed mysterious man, Daile also felt very magical. On the day when the Corpse Tree fled, there was suddenly such a person in the camp, and he followed Shirley, Alan said that this was a mage hired by his mentor to protect Shirley, but Dale thought. The black-robed mage himself seemed to have seen it somewhere.
That night, at the dinner party at Earl Morel's Palace, the third-order fire mage Oberto was also dressed in such a mysterious outfit. Miss Daile was a little frightened by this, but now when she sees this figure again, Daile has not forgotten it.
For this matter, these days, Dale actually has some complaints about Allen in her heart, this kid. Some things are always hidden from oneself. But when he thought about it, he and Alan were just friends, and everyone had some secrets, so what could he do if he hid it from himself. Are you still angry at him?
Miss Dai'er has a very high level of self-cultivation, and she obviously can't do such a thing. It's just that this little girl didn't realize that her anger was already with emotional factors. I don't know that it is this black-robed mage who will desperately save his life in a future experience, and the soul in this mage comes from the person Miss Daile is complaining about now.
Listening to Miss Dale tell everything that happened between Alan and Shirley, Mrs. Wen Li smiled even more. I thought to myself, this shield warrior really likes this kid Allen. But I don't know what Alan thinks of this beautiful girl? Wen Li's heart moved silently. Tonight's bonfire party brought Wen Li a lot of fresh experiences that had not been seen for many years.
And the thoughts of the two little girls also made Wen Li suddenly return to the time ten years ago, at that time, she was also like them, nervous, quietly liking her husband, hoping that he could look at himself more, and also hoped that he could pay more attention to himself, his every move, every word he said, he will remember it for a long time, this is love.
The bonfire dinner is still lively......
And under the prosperity of the waves, just when Mrs. Wen Li is enjoying this rare leisure time, in the Morel Castle, an unexpected scene is happening.
"Remember, as long as you can tell me any important information about Wen Li, I will keep your family safe, and if you don't want to do so, then your father and mother will die one by one because of your stupidity."
In the Earl's study, the little maid in a jazz suit was struggling hesitantly, and the sound of Morel in her head sounded in her head? What Baron Passas said to himself. His parents worked in the Morel House, one was a cook in the kitchen, the other was a washer, and the little maid lived here at birth.
For her, every knight in the Morel Mansion was the object of her fear. Should the Baron of Passas be told of Madame Winry's departure?
But in the past few years, Mrs. Wen Li has been so good to herself, how can she betray her.
The little maid paced briskly, and the spacious and bright study, with the warm and comfortable sofa, made the little girl sit like pins and needles.
"If you dare to hide it even once, not only will your parents die, but you will also be sold into a brothel or a house." The threat of Baron Passas was still in his ears.
No, this matter can't be hidden, if the baron knows about it, not only will his parents' lives be difficult to protect, but even he will be finished. Finally, psychological fear took over. The little maid opened the door to the study.
Facing her, the little maid saw Avalo's butler sitting and waiting in the living room, and her heart jumped suddenly, how could he be here. Not daring to look at the eyes of the big butler, the little maid hurried away.
Alvalo was surprised by the little maid who had suddenly stepped out of the study. But she didn't think much about it, and secretly said in her heart, she didn't know what Mrs. Wen Li arranged for her to do, so she walked so panickedly that she didn't even say hello when she stood here.
Reminiscent of Madame Wen Li's saying that no one was allowed to enter the study, but she didn't say that no one was allowed to come out, although Avalo was surprised, she didn't react at all.
The little maid hurried down the tower. Walking briskly, his heart was beating fast, since he was absolutely going to betray Mrs. Wen Li, he couldn't let everyone know about it, and his steps were getting faster and faster, as if he was flying.
Soon, she met with Baron Passas's personal butler.
"Steward, there's one thing. I have to explain to you ......"
The steward was in his forties and had been following Baron Passas for six years. He followed the baron from before he competed for the throne of the family, and he could be regarded as a close confidant and staff member of Passas. This night, I suddenly saw a woman in jazz men's clothes running in front of me, I was stunned at first, and suddenly reacted, isn't this Mrs. Wen Li's personal servant, and hurriedly grabbed the little maid.
"Be quiet. Come with me, if there is anything, tell the Baron face to face! The steward took the little maid and went away.
The little maid left the main castle with the steward and came to another small castle, outside which stood gloomily with many men in black. This made the little maid feel a little uncomfortable.
Walking into the castle, in a dimly lit room, the maid met Count Past.
Baron Pastor was slightly chubby, with a slightly large face, gray and slightly bald hair, wearing a thick black tuxedo suit, holding a wooden staff in his hand, and looking at the maid in front of him with a blank face.
This maid has been attached to the Morel family for three generations, and can be described as a pure Morel family servant, and because of this, she has the opportunity to become one of Wen Li's several personal maids. Wen Li usually doesn't like people to follow her, and only arranges for one maid to serve her at most a day, which makes it difficult for many people who covet the earl's throne to install someone around her.
The Morel Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to assassinate Wen Li in the mansion, even if the assassination is really successful, it is also a storm within the family, which is likely to lead to a complete reshuffle of the Earl's Mansion again, which is not a good thing for Past, who has already mastered enough advantages and only lacks prestige and opportunities to ascend.
On the contrary, it was the little maid with a clear background who gave himself a chance, two years ago, Pastor found an opportunity, made an appointment with the little maid alone, and threatened the maid's life, asking her to reveal Wen Li's whereabouts, but two years have passed, although the maid has passed through Wen Li's whereabouts several times as agreed. But those few Wen Li's actions were all exposed to everyone's gaze, and the garrison was also tight, and Paster had no way to do anything at all.
Tonight, I saw that the maid took the initiative to find it, but I didn't know what it was for......
"Tonight, Lord Baron, Madame Wen Li...... Madame ...... "The maid trembled a little when she spoke, and betrayed Wen Li, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Hurry up!" Paster stared at the maid unquestioningly.
"Lady Winley left the castle tonight and went out with Mr. Allen!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Past's heart suddenly moved, Wen Li was not in the castle! This is something I never expected!
As an earl, Lady Wen Li is a prince and enjoys supreme power, but in fact, the higher the position, the more restraints, and it is not easy for Wen Li to leave Morel Castle. At least the Morel House Council wants to be kind, and they have to bring enough guards with them to leave.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Li feels like a canary in a cage, without any freedom.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to sneak out by yourself!" Baron Pastor laughed, this was a godsend.
"How many people know about this?" The baron asked.
The maid shook her head!
"Good, good!" Paster smiled sinisterly, and then a man dressed in black beside him walked up to the maid, covered the maid's mouth and nose, and with a movement of his right hand, a dagger was thrown from behind the maid, stabbing him in the heart. Before the maid could react, her eyes opened in disbelief, and she lost her life.
"Take the maid to the altar. I'm going to find a way to deal with Wen Li. This time, she will definitely not be able to turn over. Baron Pastor turned away and walked into the lost part of the castle, where a mysterious altar appeared before the baron.
……
At the same time, in the main building of Morel Castle, in front of the study of Madame Winley.
It's been more than an hour since the little maid left, but she hasn't turned back, what did she do? Avalo thought, suddenly, his heart moved, when the little maid left, she was not wearing a maid's suit, but a lady's jazz suit.
This!
Reminiscent of earlier in the night, the coachman who had sent Mr. Allen away said that Allen had taken a maid with him.
Not good! Avalo stood up, walked over to the study, and knocked loudly on the door.
No response......
"Mrs. Wen Li, I'm Avalo, I'm open the door and come in!"
When I opened the door, it was empty!
The door opened, the wind blew, and the candles in the room swayed, but no one flickered.
Mrs. Wen Li is not in the study! Thinking of the maid who went and didn't return, Avalo shouted: "That maid went to ventilate and report the news, it's not good, Mrs. Wen Li is in danger!" ”
