314. The vanishing box
Perhaps because the person who came was also human, and the big man behind him did not look like a vampire, the uneasiness in Fernando's heart was not so strong, at least he was able to make enough etiquette to invite the two to the living room, and sent someone to bring good tea and pastries.
"I'll just be standing." Judbris said angrily, and then stood behind Zhou Chu, in the posture of a bodyguard and a thug.
It was also the most appropriate, if Judbrice sat down and tasted the pastries and tea, it would be torture for him, he was not the kind of traditional vampire who was well versed in aristocratic etiquette and politely dealt with.
Zhou Chu didn't speak, but unhurriedly took the teacup on the table, took the lid of the cup with his hand, and took a sip before opening it again.
"Mr. Fernando, is that thing still there? Isn't it safe? β
Fernando's eyes flickered for a moment, and then replied.
"Of course it's here, and of course it's safe, don't worry."
Stuff here.
Zhou Chu judged from the flicker in Fernando's eyes that the item was in this mansion, so he called for Aresha in his heart.
"Alesha, look at where the magic fluctuations in this house are strange, or where the spiritual power can't be detected."
Alesa agreed in Zhou Chu's consciousness, and then Zhou Chu's perception and consciousness were linked to Alesa's spiritual power, and the invisible spiritual power detection tentacles extended in all directions at this time.
Basement.
Zhou Chu soon detected that it was in a certain basement of the mansion. There is an undetectable and perceptible existence, and it should be there.
"Alesa." He called softly in his heart.
"I know it." Alaisa immediately headed for the basement.
Seeing that Zhou Chu had not spoken, Fernando asked a little uneasy and worried.
"What's wrong? This sir. β
"Nothing." Zhou Chu took his mind back from his consciousness, "What the adult who contacted me means is that he can retrieve things first today?" After all, it would be more appropriate and safe to be kept by that adult. β
Fernando was shocked, could it be that the vampires had noticed something, right? It's just that if you hand it over in this way, then the church will have no way to explain it.
Fernando's mind raced a few times. Then said with a smiley face.
"It doesn't seem good......"
His mind was racing. pondered his thoughts, and then replied to Zhou Chu.
"When are you going to do it?"
"It's coming." Zhou Chu said, "But it's not these days. You'll have to wait until you get back from the ruins. β
"That's it." Fernando clapped his palms. Then he made a look of embarrassment. "There are still so many days, if the lord goes back like this with his things, in case the prince is great. Or the second prince, or His Majesty the king, wants to take a look at that kind of thing, and I can't take it out when the time comes, so I'm waiting to be asked. β
Zhou Chu didn't speak, as if he was thinking about the other party's words, but in fact, he was talking to Alesha.
"Did you find it?"
"Well, there's just a strange box here."
"Can you bring it out?"
"No, I can pick it up, but I can't carry it through the wall."
After Zhou Chu pondered for a while, he said to Alaisa in his heart.
"Then you find a place to put it away, in that space, where no one will find out, as long as it's not in the original location."
"Good!"
Zhou Chu ended the conversation with Alesa and looked up at Fernando.
"What does the manager mean is that it's not suitable to take things at the moment?"
"Exactly."
"Understood, I'll go back and report to the adult." Zhou Chu nodded, showing that he understood Fernando very well, and stood up, "But I think, Chief Fernando, it's best to confirm whether the thing is still there, so that I can go back and tell the adult." β
Fernando hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said to Zhou Chu.
"Then please wait a minute."
Then he glanced at the guards on either side, and then walked towards the basement.
Zhou Chu sat there for a long time, picked up the teacup again, and drank the tea leisurely.
The more important things are, the more they care about them, and the more they are hinted at, the greater the sense of insecurity and uncertainty in their hearts. This is almost the nature of most people, and Fernando, because of this, fell into the trap of thoughtful language.
No one noticed that under Zhou Chu's feet, I don't know when, there was already a stream of blood, slowly flowing out from under his body, scattered into several small blood lines, and stretched out of the living room.
Fernando didn't know what kind of mood he was in looking at the empty box, he only remembered that he walked briskly, wanted to check it and then returned immediately, although uneasy, Fernando really didn't think about itβit was really possible that something was missing, such a possibility.
But the thing is really missing!
The black box that could open the way to the place where the angels were sleeping, one of the most depressing trump cards of the Duchy of Capes, and the fate and direction of his future, was gone.
In an instant, Fernando felt as if his entire soul had been drained, and after his eyes widened in disbelief, the royal steward, who wanted to have a steady and dignified attitude, instantly felt fear hit his heart, and then an uncontrollable and irrepressible roar, or a miserable roar, rang out.
"Someone!"
The mansion of the head of the royal family suddenly became a mess, and Zhou Chu, who was sitting in the living room far away, sat there for a long time, and Judbris, although he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, saw that Zhou Chu didn't mean to move, so he stood there straight.
Fernando suddenly remembered something, and rushed towards the living room, but when he rushed to the living room, he saw Zhou Chu sitting there leisurely, but he stopped again.
It can't be him, although Fernando thought of Zhou Chu for the first time, but now he saw that Zhou Chu was still sitting there, and the guards around him were still standing there, and his mind was dazed by fear and panic, and he calmed down a lot, and then although Fernando didn't want to admit it, the visitor who represented the vampire in front of him really didn't have any suspicion.
First of all, he came on behalf of the vampires, unless the vampire knew that he had reached an agreement with the church, but if he did, the style of the vampires would not be like this.
Moreover, the other party just reminded him that he should check it, and in the process of checking, he has been in this living room, and if it is really a vampire, or it's him, then he doesn't need to do more, Fernando doesn't think that there are really people in this world who come to remind the master and show off after stealing something, even if there is, it's not such a show off and reminder, not to mention, this is the hole card and strength of the Principality of Capes, although now the war is about to break out, But it didn't break out, although I don't know when it was, but it really didn't break out, and the undercurrent was turbulent, but it still had to maintain a good surface.
Thinking of this, Fernando put away his flustered expression and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's a false alarm, I thought a thief had sneaked in."
Zhou Chu replied as usual: "So that's the case, then, Manager Fernando, the things are still there, right?" β
"Of course." Fernando bowed to Zhou Chu, "Please rest assured, such an important thing is naturally safe and sound." β
"That's good." Zhou Chu stood up, "Then I'll go back and report to that adult first, and see what that adult says." β
"Wait." Fernando suddenly remembered something, "This adult, but human? β
"I am."
"Then ......" Fernando glanced at the tall man behind Zhou Chu, who seemed to be also human, so he decided to give it a try, "What does this adult think of the church?" β
"What do you mean?" Zhou Chu tilted his head, his attitude towards the church? He didn't answer Fernando, in fact, because he didn't seem to have any attitude or opinion about the church.
"I just wanted to ask what this adult thinks of the church." Fernando hesitated for a moment, but still said, "There will be a few church adults visiting later, and I think if it is okay, this adult might as well stay and meet with them and have a chat." β
Zhou Chu's eyes narrowed subconsciously.
After seeing his movements, Fernando immediately waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just a private meeting, just to ask the adults if they want to meet them, please rest assured, I won't go to the side of the church." β
Zhou Chu smiled and didn't say anything, but stood up.
"Since it's a private meeting, then I won't bother Fernando."
Zhou Chu took Judbris, led by Fernando, and walked outside, although he was very curious about the people of the church, but Juddbris was present, and he might not be found to be a vampire.
But sometimes things may not be as expected, and sometimes it is just such a coincidence, when Zhou Chu had just left the mansion, Zhou Chu heard the sound of a carriage in the distance.
"Pick up the pace, Juddbriss, trouble isn't just one." He said so, and disappeared into the far side of the street, along with Judbris.
But at the same time, several figures followed out of the side door of Fernando's residence.
"Seems familiar......," Cullen looked at the two figures in the distance.
"Familiar?" Aaron stepped out of the car, looked into the distance, and frowned.
"The smell of vampires."
"Vampires?" Cullen immediately stared over there, "Do you need me to come over?" β
"No, you don't." Aaron said, but looking at Fernando standing in the doorway, he changed his mind again, "You bring a priest and a team that can track down heresy." (To be continued......)
