Chapter 39: The Second Lady's Candidate

INTERVIEWER I have another important candidate in mind, and I hope to add it to this list as well.

- You all know this person. It's my current servant, the Shadow Lord.

Before Eliza could say this, before Aurelia could respond, Mrs. Walker reminded first, "The original person will definitely not work." The squire appointed on your 20th birthday must be Daybreaker. ”

"Of course I do." Eliza smiled, "So I arranged for him to take the 'Winged Humanization' exam, and he has already passed." ”

Only then did Aurelia react: "Shadow Owl passed Carl's assessment? ”

"Yes."

When Mrs. Walker heard the name 'Carl', she felt familiar, and couldn't help asking, "The 'Carl' you are talking about, is it the second young master of the Yuheng Marshal Mansion?" ”

"It's the second ancestor who used to be a dragon and phoenix among people, but now he has been reduced to eating and waiting for death." Aurelia really doesn't have a high opinion of Carl, "But even if someone like that judges to pass the assessment, it's not convincing." ”

"Ah......" Eliza's expression was a little lost when she heard her say this, "How can my sister say that......"

Mrs. Walker looked at Aurelia and then at Eliza, and said lightly: "Whether it is choosing a squire or a servant, this matter is like buying things and picking clothes, and the person who buys it must be satisfied. No matter how much others recommend it, they can't make decisions for those who pay. She poured a cup of tea for Aurelia and Eliza and asked the maid to serve it separately, "In the same way, the person who buys things should listen to the opinions of others, but at the same time keep his own opinions." ”

Mrs. Walker was not stern, but there was an aura of non-sternness and authority in her gentle words: "I haven't seen Carl in all these years. I don't know how he's been doing lately, if there has been any change. But when he was young, he was a very strong child, no worse than his brother. At this point, Mrs. Walker looked up at Aurelia, "Didn't you play with the two brothers when you were younger?" At that time, I didn't hear you say that they were 'eating and waiting to die'. ”

Aurelia blushed and argued, "Of course Alexander is the best among men. Wen Taowu is strategic, wise and brave, and the three princes trust ......"

Before she finished speaking, Eliza smiled and said, "It's my sister's sweetheart, and my sister sees him as good at everything." But Carl, by contrast, ......"

"Whoaβ€”that's not the case." Aurelia was a little annoyed by her sister's teasing, but she was also inconvenient in the presence of her mother, and said patiently, "Carl used to be my younger brother, and he also participated in special training in our Guards Regiment when he was a teenager. has excellent grades, and is also full of prestige among his peers, and is even privately selected as the successor by the corps commander. But I don't know why, since he entered the MI, the whole person has changed. Idle all day long, late to arrive and leave early, and the work assigned to him is not completed on time, it is said that he is obsessed with women all day after work, and the top girls in those bar streets in the South District have been played by him. When she said these words, she hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"Huh? But in my opinion, Carl is also a very good soldier......" Eliza said confused.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"I didn't expect it...... "Aurelia shrugged, "my sister has been smitten by Playboy for a while. ”

"Sister!" Eliza glared angrily.

Just as the two were teasing each other, Aurelia's video headset suddenly vibrated - as the vice-captain of the Guards Legion's Radiant Wings, the electronic devices she carried with her were military. Then the only people who call through this device are people who may be military. Aurelia quickly winked at her mother and sister, and the two across them fell silent in understanding.

Aurelia picked up the phone and reported to herself: "Aurelia. Walker. ”

A lazy voice came from there: "Vice Captain, have a good holiday!" ”

"Carl?" It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"It's me." The other side seemed to be whistling, and it seemed even more idle, tired, and cynical, "How's it going?" Not surprised? ”

"You're looking for me?" Aurelia frowned.

"Hmm...... Can't I call you if it's okay? Hehe......" Carl paused, probably thinking that he was about to get angry here, before continuing, "Just kidding, this time it's not mainly looking for you, it's looking for Eliza." Is she with you? ”

"Looking for her? Why? ”

"Hi...... And why! Karl exclaimed, "You didn't introduce her to what she called it...... of the servants put me for the Winged Humanization test? Now that guy can't be contacted, and you refuse to give me my little sister's contact information, can't I just call you? ”

Aurelia's furrowed brows furrowed. She looked at Eliza, then thoughtfully at the list of candidates for the Wingman Squire for her sister that had been placed aside, and replied faintly, "I see." I'll give you her contact details. ”

After breakfast, Aurelia hurried out of the conservatory and went to the study to sort out the documents and materials that had been used for the last few days.

Mrs. Walker asked the wife of the chief justice to go to the altar of Tiangong City to pray, and she didn't want too many people to accompany her, so she only brought her immediate attendants.

After a few moments, only Eliza was the only one left in the conservatory. After answering a phone call from Carl, she was sipping black tea while flipping through the list of candidates for the squire that Aurelia had left behind. Simon, the butler, stood aside with his hands down. Before the young lady spoke, according to the rules, he could only wait here.

Eliza flipped through the last page unhurriedly, stood up and beckoned to the butler, "Simon, you go somewhere with me." ”

The butler said respectfully, "Yes, miss." ”

Eliza stepped out of the conservatory door that the maids had opened for her and stretched out in the fresh air. In the next second, her wings suddenly fluttered and she flew into the sky.

Of course, Simon, the housekeeper, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly flapped his wings to follow.

For humans, running forward, for winged people, it is flying. Eliza flapped her wings suddenly, indicating that the place she was going to was not close to the conservatory, and that she did not want to take a detour.

But the direction in which she flew -

Simon was amazed in his heart, and he had already said, "Miss, there is only ...... in the direction you are going."

"Is it the other courtyard where the people live?" Eliza interrupted him as she flew, "Since you don't arrange for the Shadow Owl to come to see me, I have to go to see him." ”

Simon was horrified - Eliza had done nothing to roast him on the fire. There are many rules in the Great Divine Mansion, only the subordinates want to see the master, how can the master go to the other courtyard of the subordinate to find the next person? What is this system? And what Eliza said was even more simple and direct - it's not that I don't want to, it's that you deliberately stopped people from seeing me, so if I do this kind of illegal thing, I can only blame you for not arranging it properly.

If it weren't for the two of them flying in the sky one after the other, Simon would have been afraid that he would have to kneel down and salute. At this moment, he could only shout in a panic: "Second Miss, you are angry...... It's because I didn't arrange it properly, and if you want to punish me, you can punish me, but you can't go to the next person's residence! ”

"What's there to go? Are there any poisonous snakes, beasts, or man-eating monsters in that place? Eliza said lightly, as if she couldn't hear the housekeeper's difficulty at all.

"This ......" Simon is even harder.

Indeed, in this Great Priest's Mansion, there is no real rule that where the ladies are not allowed to go.

The winged man flew as fast as a bird, and in a moment, the two of them had already flown over the courtyard where the next man lived.

Eliza hovered in the air and looked down at the courtyard, which was poorly furnished and old, and all the houses were all bungalows. The old houses looked like they hadn't been repaired in a long time, and the peeling walls showed old bricks that were red and black.

It's morning, and everyone is out to work, except for those who are off at night. The courtyard was deserted, and there was hardly any sound in the courtyard except for the occasional passing birdsong. However, judging from the large number of washed clothes on the clothes pole, this not too large place still accommodates too many original people, making everyone's living space very limited.

Eliza's gaze swept over every part of the courtyard, just in time to see a man walking in the direction of the courtyard from the doorway of a building in the corner, a blouse in his hand. His movements didn't seem to be flexible, as if he only had one left hand to use, his right hand in front of his chest, and his movements through his sleeve were also cautious.

Eliza lowered her height and narrowed her eyes slightlyβ€”the man looked familiar.

Sunlight poured down from the sky above her, through her snow-white wings, casting a hazy shadow on the ground.

The people on the ground seemed to see the shadow, or maybe they heard the sound of flapping wings, and looked up into the sky, and the look of surprise froze on his face.

Eliza admired his surprise with satisfaction, flapped her wings, and landed as lightly as a feather on the ground in front of the man.

"Second Miss!" Shadow Owl was really taken aback.

He was bought at the age of 14 and worked in the Divine Mansion for nearly six years, never seeing a single Walker Origin Wing member commit to patronizing the courtyard where the Walker lived - not once.

The second lady suddenly fell from the sky, and at that moment even made him wonder if the place he was in was where he lived on weekdays? Was he himself dazzled or was he dreaming?

It wasn't until the other stood still on the ground, looking at him with a playful smile, that Shadowlord remembered to take a step back and bow his head in a proper manner.

"I came back yesterday. You don't answer the phone, and you don't come to pick me up. It turned out that he was hiding here and being lazy......" The second miss's starry eyes as clear and transparent as jade looked the shadow owl up and down, her gaze stopped on his right hand in plaster, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

"It's broken...... Shadow Owl looked up and replied with a snort, "I haven't been working very well these two days, so I'm sorry I didn't pick you up." ”

Before the party felt anything, Simon, the butler standing behind Eliza, was silently relieved first. At this time, if the shadow owl wants to shirk his responsibility, saying that he forcibly obstructed him and did not let him serve the master, this participation is enough for him.

"You don't have to talk to the steward." Eliza was as clear as a mirror, "I know that if no one stops you, even if you break your leg, you will come to see me crawling." ”

When Simon heard this, a cold sweat came down.

"Uh......" The shadow owl was also stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Where's your video headset?" Eliza asked, "I haven't been able to contact you since yesterday, isn't it that even the headphones are broken?" ”

Shadowlord put his right hand in his jacket pocket, and when he took it out, there was a black headphone lying in the palm of his hand. The headphones are still very new, and the glossy black paint coating on the surface does not show any traces of being bumped, but I saw a crack through the fuselage, which seemed to have been slashed by a sharp blade that had been blown off. The neatly cut wires reveal densely arranged wires in the cutouts, but the knife edges are so deep that they almost cut the entire earphone in two. Not to mention that such a device is turned on and used, it is not easy to keep it in its current state and not break into two pieces.

"I'm sorry!" Like a child who has made a mistake, the Shadow Owl bows his head deeply, and his tone is full of guilt, "I broke the equipment you sent......"

"This is ......" Eliza gasped as she looked at the earphones that had been almost cut off, "Your hands are ...... ...... when the Wing Humanization Test was conducted? ”

"Uh-huh......" the Shadow Owl pursed his lips, his lips a little white. He was tempted to say, 'Pay with my salary, right?' But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that with the current meager income, this kind of limited edition electronic product may not be able to afford it.

The second young lady's slender willow eyebrows were almost knotted, and she whispered to herself hatefully: "Why didn't anyone tell me that things were so dangerous!" Carl is really ...... too" At this point, she suddenly looked up at Simon and ordered, "Prepare the car, go to the military intelligence office." ”

Simon thought he had misheard, and was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

A place like the MIA, usually only the eldest lady who is an officer has a reason to go. Miss 2, what are you doing there?

"MIA, Shadow Owl comes with me." Eliza said word for word, "Didn't you hear it in the morning?" My sister has already forwarded my contact information to the lieutenant. In the future, even if I am not accompanied by my sister, I can go to MI at any time as long as I am invited by the lieutenant. ”

Even if he didn't understand anything else, the words 'Lieutenant invited' were enough to wake Simon up. The Grand Priest and Marshal Yuheng have been friends for generations, and Miss Aurelia can be said to be married to the eldest young master of the Shuai Mansion. If the second young lady and the second young master can spark a little more, it will be natural to kiss each other.

Thinking of this, Simon didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and hurriedly sent a message to the garage through the inner line to arrange for the driver to prepare the car.

Of course, the next person's every move is also in Eliza's eyes. She naturally knew why the butler's attitude had changed, so she said smoothly: "Carl will take the initiative to contact me this time, also because the Shadow Owl has passed his winged humanization test. Simon, I'll have to think a little more about how to arrange it in the future. ”

The implication of this is very clearβ€”no matter how much Lady Walker and Aurelia hope that the Daybreaker they have elected will be Eliza's squire, the second lady's designated person has already been selected. In Simon's opinion, the second miss's attendant should be the shadow lord - not only because he has accompanied the young lady for many years, is conscientious and deeply appreciated by the master, but also because through this wing humanization test, he inadvertently pulled out a new connection for the young ladies and young masters of the two families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can even be said to be a potential marriage.

Having served in the Great Priest's Mansion for many years, Simon has long been well versed in the way of dealing with people. And the arrangements after this, he naturally already knew in his heart.

In the afternoon, a silver-white land and air sedan took off from the runway of the Great Priest's Mansion, carrying Eliza and the Shadow Owl, in the direction of the Military Intelligence Department.
