Chapter 188: A Visitor from Hell (2)
At night, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Fiona said lightly.
The door creaked open halfway, and Leonard walked in with a bow.
"Miss Fiona, it has been found out, the information of the people who are now delivering wine to Christopher's Tavern every day by the Norway Chamber of Commerce has been recorded on this parchment, please take a look. With that, Leonard presented Fiona with both hands a piece of parchment.
Leonard, who had been holding his gaze and did not dare to look up, saw a white hand reach over and take the parchment presented by his hands.
Leonard's heart began to jump again, and he couldn't help but move his eyes a little in Fiona's direction.
The sight he saw made Leonard's breathing a little short.
Fiona's lazy body was wearing only a thin white veil, and a pair of huge and unscrupulous white flowers on his chest showed a large white flower's skin, and Leonard's skin was as white as the first snow, and Leonard couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Fiona slowly unfolded the parchment in her hand and looked at it slowly, the parchment recorded in detail the information of the five people who delivered wine to Christopher's Tavern every day, their names, ages, personalities, and detailed addresses.
As he watched, the smile on Fiona's face rose little by little.
"Leonard, get ready, we're going to go out and meet this old man named Sidney. Fiona sat up gracefully, raised her hand and stretched, her chest stretched out in a thrilling amplitude.
Leonard saw this extremely charming scene in the afterglow, and only felt that the blood in his whole body rushed together.
"It's... Yes, Miss Fiona. Leonard hurriedly replied, and then this information called Sidney appeared in his head, a lonely old man, in his 50s, who had never married a wife or adopted an heir, and had always lived alone in a house next to the residence of the Norvi Chamber of Commerce.
Although it was not clear what Fiona wanted to see this Sidney, Leonard quickly arranged for a carriage to take Fiona to the vicinity of the Norvi Chamber of Commerce.
After getting out of the carriage, Fiona, guided by Leonard, quickly found Sidney's residence.
"Knock knock. ”
Leonard stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
There was a sound in the room, and soon the candlelight was lit.
"Squeak~" The door was pushed open, and an old man in a gray robe carrying a small oil lamp looked at Leonard.
"Hello sir. Seeing Leonard dressed in a rather gorgeous outfit and a plainly dressed but unusually beautiful woman standing next to him, Sidney greeted Leonard politely.
"Are you Uncle Sidney?" asked Fiona suddenly, in a clear and sweet voice.
Sidney looked at Fiona and replied with a puzzled expression, "I'm Sidney, but this young lady, do we know each other?"
Fiona took a small step forward, her eyes emitted a charming light, and she slowly spoke: "My name is Fiona, and I am the daughter of Gilsai, who was your best friend when you were young, and later went to the capital of the Arissanritic Empire, and you stayed in Fini City. But bad luck has happened, and Gilsai died in the capital of the empire, and before he died, he asked his daughter to come to the city of Finney to join you......"
Sidney's gaze lost focus little by little, and Fiona's words kept echoing in his head, repeating them over and over again.
After coming for a long time, Sidney's gaze recovered little by little, he looked at Fiona, and said with a kind face: "Child, you must have suffered a lot all the way from the imperial capital. ”
Fiona looked at Sidney with a tired and sad look and said, "The worst is over. ”
Sidney said slowly, "Since you are Gilsai's daughter, I will definitely take good care of you, Gilsai was my best friend when I was younger. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Sidney. Fiona replied as she looked at Sidney with red eyes.
Leonard on the side looked shocked, but he quickly put away his expression, and looked at Fiona with some horror, he was not sure if Fiona had cast a spell on Sidney just now.
"Uncle Sidney, I've only arrived in Finney City today, and I don't know if you can find a place to stay for me. Fiona's lips slowly opened, and a seductive voice spoke towards Sidney.
Sidney's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he quickly spoke: "This is all what I should do, Fiona, you come with me, I will take you to the Chamber of Commerce, and find you a place to live first." ”
With that, Sidney turned around and led Fiona towards the still bright Norvi Chamber of Commerce residence.
Fiona gave Leonard a look to signal him to leave before leaving, and Leonard nodded quickly and turned to leave.
The Norvai Chamber of Commerce is a large station, and although it is already night, there are still torches and oil lamps lit in many parts of the chamber. Sidney's arrival with Fiona quickly attracted the attention of several people in the Chamber of Commerce who were still busy.
"Hey, good evening, Sidney. A chamber of commerce director, who was still looking through the accounts, greeted Sidney from afar.
"Good evening, Otto. Sidney walked over to the council of the Chamber of Commerce with Fiona.
"Sidney, is there something wrong with not sleeping so late? Who is this beautiful young lady?" asked Otto, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, looking at Sidney, and all his attention fell on Fiona beside him.
Sidney raised his hand and pointed at Fiona and said, "This is Fiona, Gilsai's daughter, Gilsai was my best friend when I was young, but he later went to the imperial capital, but unfortunately there was some accident. Oh, by the way, Odo, Fiona needs a new place to live, and there are several chamber houses next to the house I live in, and I want to buy the one next to me. ”
Odoa thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Those houses are all empty, this is no problem, I will give you the key first, if you want to buy it, you can make up the formalities in a few days." ”
With that, Otto searched the counter, quickly pulled out a key, and handed it to Sidney.
"Here's the key, Sidney, those houses are often occupied by makeshift personnel from time to time, and they are often cleaned, they should be clean, and I'll get you some clean cups and pillows. Otto said enthusiastically to Sidney, and the rest of his eyes kept looking at Fiona.
"Or you think very thoughtfully, Otto, thank you. Then I'll take Fiona over to see the house first. Sidney said with a smile, then beckoned to Fiona.
Fiona obediently followed Sidney back.
On the way, Fiona asked, "Uncle Sidney, what are you doing in Finney? ”
Sidney glanced back at Fiona and said with a smile, "The biggest business of the Chamber of Commerce is wine, and we deliver wine to many inns and taverns every day, and sometimes to the nobles of the city. ”
"Uncle Sidney, I worked as a maid in the tavern when I was in the imperial capital. Fiona said to Sidney with some surprise.
"Oh, is that true? Perhaps I should ask Mr. Christopher to-morrow if there is a shortage of maids in his tavern. Sidney said with a smile.
