Chapter 222: Ghost Orchid

Aya hesitated, but ordered her men to let Joshua go. If what Aransel says is true, then it would be the ultimate folly for her to have a bad relationship with Aransale.

After Joshua was liberated, he glared at Gan Deng fiercely, and immediately ignored his injuries, and immediately carefully helped Charlotte, who had been kicked to the ground.

Charlotte wore a rudimentary dark green linen skirt with a dirty shoe print on her chest. Her eyes were unfocused, and her face was full of fear, but after Joshua softly called her name twice, she grabbed his hand and began to cry again.

"Brother......

"Ms. Aya, has this little girl done anything to you? She doesn't seem to have the power to do anything to you. ”

Aransale naturally beckoned to Joshua and motioned for him to duck behind him.

Joshua picked up his sister and looked at Aransale's eyes with a wary look, but after a few glances between Aya and Aransale, he gritted his teeth and walked behind Aransell in silence.

Speaking of this, Aya snorted and said angrily: "This lowly little thing deceived me, a few days ago I saw her pitiful and bought her flowers, and she kept telling me that she was selling ghost orchids, but my friends looked at it and told me that the flowers were not ghost orchids at all, but very similar to purple sunflowers on the side of the road!"

It's humiliating to me! She must have done it on purpose! Today I'm going to take her back and punish her so that she can remember it for a long time! ”

"Ghost Orchid? This is a very expensive and rare flower, and given the geography of the Adriatic District, there should be no environment for the growth of ghost orchids, right? ”

"That's right! That's it! Pity me for giving her charity with a merciful heart, and instead of telling me the truth honestly, she deceived me with lies!

What I care about is not those two copper coins, it's feelings! Mr. Arancel, it is a great crime for a mere commoner to dare to deceive a nobleman! Now you know why I'm so angry, right? ”

Aransale didn't answer her, he crouched down to look at the purple flowers scattered all over the ground. A lot of them have been trampled on, and it is impossible to sell them for money.

The strange scent of flowers irritated his nose, and he picked one up and observed it silently.

Watching the lively people stop and go, I can't see any exciting scenes, and the number of people is a little less than before. Aya smiled proudly with a look of victory, and stroked her long wavy blond hair with her hand.

The man who claimed to be a good dog chaser, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, found the opportunity, came up with a flattering face, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Dear lord, you are so right, a commoner, ahh, a slum thing, dare to deceive you, it is really an unforgivable sin!" ”

The stench irritated her nostrils, and Aya pinched her nose and glared at him in disgust.

Gan Deng's face was ruthless, and his sharp gaze glared at him. The man shuddered with fright and immediately hid in a corner and shrank his head. I wanted to please my employer, but the horse's fart slapped the horse's leg.

Aransell held the flower and looked at it for a moment, then at Charlotte. Only then did he get a good look at Charlotte's face.

Charlotte wore two coarse braids, and her dark brown hair was as smooth as satin, but it looked a little greasy because of the stains. Her little face was white but thin, and her big eyes were as beautiful as the stars, but unfortunately, her eyes were sloppy and out of focus.

Aransell guessed probably, and he felt a little sorry for Charlotte. Looking at Joshua, he was looking at himself vigilantly with an extremely cold gaze. There was an indelible hatred in his eyes.

You're in the same league as that woman, and you're all assholes. He seemed to hear Joshua say this.

Alansel smiled bitterly, he looked at Charlotte and asked softly, "Charlotte, why did you deceive Lady Aya?" ”

With that, Joshua hugged his sister tighter, and his face was hideous, and he let out a hoarse growl at Aransale, just as he had done before. There was extreme anxiety and a hint of despair in his eyes.

"Because, because this flower is really a ghost orchid...... Charlotte and her grandmother picked it by the lake...... Grandma tells Charlotte that this is the Ghost Orchid ......"

Charlotte said almost helplessly. She looked aggrieved and hung her head silently, as if she had given up resistance.

Lakeside? Aransell was stunned for a moment, and a passage he had seen in Maurice's Encyclopedia of Flowers and Plants, an academic book detailing the vegetation of the Apollo Empire.

"I believe everyone is very familiar with the "Earl Wilson" in the legend of gods and ghosts, right? In the legend of the gods, the handsome Earl Wilson is suspected of being a Blood.

So in order to prove his innocence, he deliberately chose a full moon day to woo his wife in full view.

At that time, his eyes shone with a clear blue light, and there was no blood red at all, and Madame was completely convinced that he was not a terrible blood, so she happily married the Earl Wilson. But soon after, Madame's dried body was found in the Earl Wilson's mansion.

Unfortunately, Earl Wilson is a Bloodline. So why didn't his eyes turn red on the full moon?

Although the legend of gods and ghosts does not give a clear answer, I think it is likely that he ate the mutated ghost orchid, which I call the matte ghost orchid. The matte ghost orchid has purple petals and is very similar in shape to the highly poisonous purple sunflower, which is a variant of the ghost orchid.

The ghost orchid itself is already very rare, but the rarity of the matte ghost orchid is at least a hundred times higher. It has been established that most matte ghost orchids grow near lakes, and the purer the lake water, the higher the probability of matte ghost orchids. ”
