024: Dreamlike

Eve snapped her eyes open, and instead of blue skies and white clouds, she saw a lavishly decorated ceiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She found herself lying on a rich silk bed, which was not only comfortable but also familiar to Eveβ€”it was her bed, and this room was her bedroom.

"Thank goodness, you're finally awake!" came a concerned voice from beside the bed, which Eve recognized, it was the voice of her maid, Belle.

"Belle, why are you here?" asked Eve, confused by her current situation, trying to sort through her memories and remember how she got home. "How did I, how could I be at home?" Eve was in pain, she couldn't remember how she had lost consciousness, and what had happened before she lost consciousness.

"Oh, poor young lady, you must have suffered a lot. When Belle saw Eve's appearance, she couldn't help but shed tears in distress. "I've heard that you were kidnapped by a group of gangsters, and they took you out of Kyle Redan, if it weren't for Mr. Gino's desperate rescue, it would have been, that would have been. Belle pulled out a beautiful handkerchief and rudely blew her nose. "I shouldn't have promised you to sneak out and play, oh my, what am I going to do if something happens to you!" she cried louder and louder, and it almost shook the room.

"Don't worry, Belle, am I all right?" Eve comforted the valet who had her so hard, she always felt like she had forgotten something.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay, I heard from Master Gino that the gangsters were miserable, and they didn't get the ransom and killed several girls one after another. Belle was still crying exaggeratedly, as if Eve was one of the girls who had been killed. "Lord Gino risked his life to fight them, and only saved you and another girl, and the rest of them, all, all lost their lives!"

Girl? Eve was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up, that girl! Eve lifted the quilt, grabbed Belle's shoulder, and asked anxiously, "How is that girl? Where is she now?" ”

Belle was taken aback by Eve's actions, and subconsciously replied, "That girl is at Mr. Richie's, and Mr. Richie is checking her body." ”

Eve learned that the girl was a little behind, and regardless of the fact that she was still wearing pajamas, she jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran out quickly.

Belle's reaction as she watched Eve go out of the door, she hurried to the door, and shouted, "Miss Eve! The Earl has told you! You can't get out of bed yet!" But Eve didn't answer her at all, and just ran quickly towards Mr. Ritchie's room.

Mr. Richie's house was some distance from her room, and she walked familiarly through the manor, running past the servants who were working, and almost knocking over their things in fright, and she passed through the chatting and farting soldiers, knocking over their dice tables, and some of the soldiers were about to open their mouths to curse, and when they saw that it was Miss Eve, they could only swallow back the dirty words in their mouths, and some of the soldiers were so overjoyed that they almost clapped their hands because he almost gave out his underwear.

"Mr. Richie!" Father Richie's room was not long before Eve finally reached Mr. Rich's room, and she pushed open the door and called out Mr. Rich's name.

"Oh, Ancestor is on top, Miss Eve, you can try knocking on the door next time. An old, but somewhat mischievous voice sounded. The room was filled with jars and jars with different labels, and Eve could only recognize some of the horrible potions that she feared deep down. "You know, while these things don't explode, if I add the wrong dose, they can mix something completely different!" he said with some reproach. It was an old man who looked a little bloated, his hair was very thin, disheveled, beardless, and his clothes were very sloppy, as if he had not been washed in years. He was carefully placing the glass bottle in his hand back on the table so that it wouldn't spill on the floor.

"Mr. Richie, where is that girl, how is she?" Eve would have apologized for her rude behavior in normal times, but at the moment, she was only thinking about the girl's safety, and she didn't care so much.

"Relax, Miss Eve, you're more of a kidnapper now, and want to make sure the meat ticket is safe?" said Mr. Richie humorously, picking up another jar of potion and carefully observing its condition. "There is nothing wrong with that little girl, she is sleeping soundly now. He poured the potion into the potion bowl, then put in a lot of herbs and began to mash them. "If you want to see her, she's inside, but I hope you don't wake her up, this girl must be frightened, and I'll have some potions for her in case she can't eat. ”

When Eve heard this, she immediately threw down Mr. Rich and ran to the room inside. Mr. Richie smiled knowingly at her appearance. "I've got a lot of noisy kids. ”

Eve pushed the door and entered, and saw the girl who was sleeping deeply, Eve's movements slowed down instantly, she gently closed the door, and then quietly walked in front of the girl. It was the first time Eve had had plenty of time to observe the girl - the silver-white hair made her look mysterious, she slept peacefully, and even though she had been through so many things before, she still fell into a deep sleep, as if all this had nothing to do with her, and Eve felt a little angry at the thought of this.

"You're still asleep......" Eve muttered quietly, her mood was a little complicated, from now on, she would have one more sister, now that she thought about it, she suddenly felt a little caught off guard, although she had also fantasized that she had a brother and sister, but it was not so big.

As Eve muttered quietly, the girl's fingers moved slightly, and then her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

But Eve didn't notice the change in her, and she was thinking about what she would do if she had another sister, and if she would give her some of her clothes and toys?

"Hello, where am I?" By the time Eve finally noticed her abnormality, the girl was already sitting up, her clear eyes meeting Eve's, and Eve's heart beat suddenly. She felt like her cheeks were hot. Looking at the girl who seemed to be confused, Eve threw down a sentence: "Mr. Richie will explain it to you!" and then fled, almost hitting the potion that Mr. Richie had concocted, which drew a reprimand from Mr. Richie.

"I'm sorry, sir!" Eve slammed into the arms of one of the knights, and she apologized as she ran away.

Vidocq saw such a naughty Eve, and touched his stomach helplessly. "I'm glad I took off my armor just now......" Just thinking about that scene made Vidocq feel scared for a while.

"Haha, that's our pearl, everyone loves her very much, so it's a little naughty. A man dressed like a butler said. "After all, she was the only daughter of the Earl of Rum. ”

"You can see it, Mr. Gray. Vidocq replied briefly, and then then asked, "But I have more important questions to ask, it has been several weeks since the success of the Earl of Rum's plan, the battle has entered the final stage, King Bagt Ter Sweden has become our prisoner, and the Frings family has completely declined, why is he not staying to take care of his daughter, and leaving the house in such a hurry?"

A hint of sorrow flashed in Mr. Gray's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. "Lord Count is a man of great ideas, Lord Vidocq, and I think he must have had his own agenda. He laughed and tried to get the subject covered. "Without further ado, Lord Vidocq, are you really not going to stay for dinner?"

It wasn't the answer Vidocq wanted to hear, but he knew he couldn't ask more. "Excuse me, Mr. Grey, I've been to the banquet for almost a week, and I'm going to get rusty if I stay. He took the saddle from his squire, and Mr. Grey handed him his sword, "Haha, do you want me to find you a carriage?

Vidocq smiled politely, and then replied stiffly, "Knights must always be skilled in horsemanship, Mr. Grey, how can he let go of it because he is afraid of hardship?"

Gray shook his head, and said, "You're such a boring man, Vidocq, and I hope you'll marry someone with a better sense of humor than you have, or else, well, I can't imagine that." ”

Vidocq smiled and rolled over his horse, and he took off his hat like Mr. Gray, "Anyway, it's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Gray, you are really not surprised." ”

"Hehe, don't be too modest, knight, if it weren't for you, Fort Kerrydan would have been lost. ”

Vidocq said goodbye to Mr. Grey, and then set out to his sovereign, nay, now King Hans Tablis, the common king of the whole region of Calradia, Rhodoc, and Nord.

"What kind of person are you, Count Rum?" he thought silently to himself, looking at the gradually changing scenery around him, and in the end, he could not understand this man.

"Get out of the way! you're in my way!" Eve slipped out of the manor, passing by the camp when he heard Uncle Gino's voice, and she ran over to find Gino blocked at the gate of the camp.

"Lord Gino, what's the grievance!, you tell us!" an old man trembled and hugged his arm. He pointed to the sheriffs standing at the door and said, "You say, who framed you! Who made you leave your job! Every one of us who has justice in our hearts is in charge of you!" As soon as the old man's voice fell, there was a chorus of echoes around him, and looking at the posture, just waiting for Gino's words, they demolished this place as a security camp.

One by one, Gino explained that he had left his job voluntarily, but his voice was muffled so that no one could hear what he was saying. "Listen to me!" Finally, Gino had to show the majesty of the sheriff and temporarily suppressed their arrogance.

He looked around at the people who surrounded him, all of whom he had known since he had been here. "What's the mess!" He thought angrily in his heart, it was just that the things he did were misunderstood, at least his head was saved, and resignation was inevitable, but now he was blocked at the door by these ****, how should he explain it?

Gino cleared his throat, and then said in a slur manner, "Actually, uh, I left my job voluntarily. He said as he thought about what to say. "Because I'm, well, I'm tired of living like this, yes, yes. As he said this, there was another round of chatter, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Hey, I know, there are very few sheriffs who think I'm as capable as I am, but I still have two sons to raise, and they're both young, and I can't always put myself in danger. He said and said, some of which meant that he was doing something fake. "Oh hell, yes, I'm a coward! I hate taking risks, you know! I don't want to go through something like this a second time!" he gasped a little excitedly. When the people heard his words, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"So where are you going? Lord Gino, your house is here. A young man scratched his head and asked innocently.

"I want to know where I'm going!" Gino, snarling inwardly, not knowing how to answer the question. "Well, well, uh, you know. ”

"Uncle Gino, why are you still here?" asked Eve at the back of the crowd, and everyone saw that it was the Count's daughter, and they all made way for her.

Gino didn't understand what Eve was talking about, he looked at Eve suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this little ghost who had killed her.

"Have you forgotten? My father invited you to be the captain of the manor's guard, and today is your day of office. Eve said innocently as she winked at Gino.

"Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Although Gino didn't know what was going on, it was a great thing, and he quickly nodded in acknowledgement.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. "To the generous and just Earl Falst!" I don't know who started it, and they burst into a jumbled cheer, and Gino was a little stunned by the sudden good news, wondering if he was dreaming, while Eve quietly left, she had already done what she had to do.

"Hey, guess who I am!" Eve was blindfolded from behind, and she said weakly, "Vivi, you play like this every time, everyone knows it's you." She lay down her little hands and turned to look at her playmate.

"Hehe, I just want to play~" Weiwei said happily. "Are you alright? When Arthur and I found you, I thought you were dead. Vivi said with an exaggerated expression. "You looked super ~ embarrassed at that time. ”

"How can I die so easily. Eve patted Vivi's arm, then suddenly noticed something and asked, "You and Arthur, did you get me out?"

Vivi shook her head. "No, we are looking for you with Uncle Gino, Uncle Gino is super useless, he took us to many places, but he couldn't find you. He said grumblingly. "If Arthur hadn't insisted on going into Woodlin to look for him, he might never have seen you!"

"Did you see a big man? the one of the uncles who took me. She asked nervously, vaguely remembering that it was Anderson who had taken them for days in the forest.

"No, I didn't see any of those uncles. She struggled to recall the scene and said with great certainty. "yes, yes, who is that girl, why do you keep holding her?"

When Eve heard this, she remembered the embarrassing scene just now, and her face flushed a little. "Why do you care so much, anyway, anyway. "She's a little slurred, which isn't very common. "Anyway, she's my sister!" Eve said aloud, and then suddenly remembered that she hadn't told her father about it yet, and that she had to find her father quickly.

"I have something to do, I'll go first!" she said goodbye to Vivi, and hurried home to the Earl of Rum.

What happened in that forest? Eve couldn't remember, she didn't know where Anderson had gone, maybe they had gone back to Uncle Andre and them, Eve could only think like this. She was a little lost, he always felt that it was all like a dream, and the people he met were just a group of phantoms, maybe when he forgot about them one day, they really didn't exist. This thought made Eve shiver, no, she would never forget them!

If Eve could recall what had happened, she would have known that the moment they fled the garden, there was a change in the whole of Woodlin, an unknown fire that burned the entire center of Woodlin, and Anderson insisted on taking Eve and the girl to the outskirts of the forest in order to protect her, and in the meantime, he became reticent, he became very irritable, and he had to fight any beast he saw. Until the last moment, he left the sleeping Eve behind and disappeared into the forest.

And on the day Eve was rescued, as the flames burned out, on the ruins of the manor, Antaris was half-kneeling, like a statue, motionless.

"Aha, Storm's imp, you've had such embarrassing moments. Behind him came a young, cynical voice, a teenager in strange clothes, who was walking around Antalis as if he had seen something very interesting.

Antalis opened his eyes and looked at him fiercely, but did not speak. He just glanced at the dagger on his chest with his eyes and motioned for him to pull it out for him.

"Uh-huh, are you asking me for help again?" the boy winked curiously at Antalis, his eyes widening.

Antalis was angry and annoyed, and could only look at him with more ferocious eyes.

"Oh, it's scary, I don't dare come near you. The boy laughed and jumped away, making Antalis even angrier.

"That's enough, Miller. "Behind Antalis there was another man, a handsome man dressed like an old monk. "Don't insult a warrior. He pulled out the dagger from Antalis' chest, and Antalis was able to catch his breath.

"I'll make you pay!" As soon as he stood up, he was ready to draw his sword and propose a duel to this guy who had insulted him.

"Save it, little ghost, you're no match for him. A veiled woman beside the monk said. "I advise you, don't bring shame upon yourself. ”

"Hehe, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, young man, it's just angry. On the other side, approached an old man, dressed in sumptuous service, like an old gentleman.

"Are these people left? What about Reds? he didn't wake up?" asked a dignified-looking man, as if out of thin air.

"Who knows? He's a casual man, and he can't help it if he doesn't want to come. The teenager shrugged indifferently.

"That's it, leave him alone, let's get started. The man said, and then he looked at Antaris, a little embarrassed. "First of all, I'm afraid I'll have to ask, how did you survive? I thought the Stormwind had all died in that catastrophe. ”

"It's a secret treasure, sir, I sealed myself in a secret treasure, and only recently did someone release me. Antaris replied respectfully, and it was clear that he respected the man.

"Well, well, then, you let us out?" he said thoughtfully, looking around at the mess. "Do you foresee the breaking of the curse, and if so, why don't you save more?"

"Oh, sir, it's that damned traitor! that small, cunning Batus!" he said viciously. "He forcibly broke the curse for his own selfish desires! I only had time to awaken the nearest adults, and as for the rest, I did not have time to save them. He bowed his head in shame, for hundreds of his countrymen had perished in the forest because of his impotence.

"Batus? Well, I think I've heard of him. The man thought for a moment, as if he had an impression of the name. "That child of the forest elf seems to have been reprimanded by you for some strange thoughts. ”

"Oh, it's him. It dawned on him. "I didn't expect that such a small minion would kill so many of our compatriots. He said with some emotion. "Well, I'll settle accounts with him later, and now, if you have no opinion, I'll comeβ€”" Before he could finish his words, he heard a soft "whoosh!", and he suddenly fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken string of marionettes, and a crossbow bolt stuck in his head.

"Oh my God, it's the Dawnbreaker!" the woman was shocked. "Run!" the monk immediately shouted, then put himself and the woman under his cloak and vanished.

"Damn! I should have expected them to come!" the boy turned ugly, and he grabbed a handful of dust, enveloped himself in it, and disappeared with the dust.

The old man was gone, and Antaris was the slowest, flying into the air and fleeing into the distance. "Whoosh!" another crossbow bolt was fired at Antaris, striking him in the left arm. Antaris did not dare to examine the wound, so he endured the pain and fled.

For a while, Woodlin, who had been lively, returned to calm, leaving only the person who had been shot, spasming on the ground.

In his last moments before he died, a vague shadow came into his eyes, slowly walking past him.

The man ignored him, and simply walked up to a pair of corpses on his own. It was a sturdy man, wearing strange armor, and she was holding a woman in her arms, and she was smiling, smiling, like a mother.

The man stood there, not moving for a long time. Until finally, he hugged the two of them tightly and sobbed loudly, as if a loved one had died, and it was a pain that penetrated deep into his soul......
