Before the second knock on the door, several girls could see that Pannis's state was a little abnormal, if it was according to the past habits, Pannis would have made countless comments on the formulation of the menu noisily, of course, everyone knows that his original intention of expressing his opinion was not to adjust the menu, but simply to make trouble. However, this time he did not speak quietly, and did not even come over, but hid aside to look at the painting, and his expression became a little strange, which made the girls very surprised. When the second knock sounded, Pannis rushed over and opened the door as soon as he ran away, revealing a middle-aged man behind the door.

It is a bit inappropriate to say that he is middle-aged, the person who came is about sixty years old, and he should belong to the old man according to his age, but he is tall and burly, his hair and beard are still black and thick, and his body exudes exuberant energy and majestic temperament, it is difficult to associate him with an old man in his sixties. The old man bowed slightly to Pannis, and said in a low voice, "K...... Ahem, Mr. Pannis, shall I get in?"

Pannis looked back at the girls, and then at Edith, who was bending down to wait beside Catherine, shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's probably convenient, we are nothing anyway, just don't be surprised when you come in." ”

The old man frowned suspiciously, walked into the box, and then shouted in surprise: "Edith, why did you come here, still disguised as a waiter, aren't you afraid that your father will preach to you again?"

"It's Uncle Kara. Edith smiled apologetically at Catherine, turned her head and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Kara, what are you talking about, I didn't disguise myself as a waiter." As the heir to the family, I have to make myself feel the hard work and busyness of my ancestors when they started the family business. I've read from my family collection that Kate's ancestors worked as waiters at this restaurant during the busiest days, so I had to experience this feeling of serving others myself, so that I could put myself in the right place. And this time I didn't do it secretly, I already had my father's consent. ”

"Well, when you think about it, you've really grown up. Kara coughed a little embarrassedly: "Speaking of which, you are really similar to your great-grandmother, not only do you look alike, but also have similar personalities, I remember hearing your grandfather say that your great-grandmother used to experience the life of a waiter in this shop like you when she was young." In this way, I think you can become an excellent family head like her in the future, and lead the development of the Blue family better. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Kara. Edith nodded politely, "But can Uncle Carla let me finish my work first?" ”

"Well, if you haven't decided on a menu yet, how about I'll arrange the menu for you?" Carla asked Catherine for her opinion with an inquiring eye, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Carla said to Edith: "All the expenses today are counted on me, no, no, no, Miss Catherine, don't shirk, this is an elder to our little Freya, my family's Wesker and Amanda were so rude last time, hurt little Freya, I'm really sorry." I hope you don't blame Uncle Carla for not helping you teach him a lesson, after all...... He is also my son. ”

Freya smiled softly, the smile on her chubby face, there was a different kind of crippled beauty, which made people feel that they had neglected her figure: "It's okay, Uncle Kara, your gambling agreement with my father has already told me, I understand my uncle's mood at that time." We also met Wesker and Amanda just now, and we talked about it, and we have put down all the previous contradictions, so Uncle Kara, you must not feel sorry again, and you must not have a gap with your father because of this. ”

"Okay, great. Kara's laughter was hearty, obviously in a good mood: "Since this is the case, then today is not a loss, it should be regarded as a celebration, anyway, it is a little heart from the elders, you can't refuse." Edith, just prepare food for five, nay, seven people according to my usual specifications, and choose the best tasting dishes for you here, just like I did for you. ”

"Hey, what do you mean. Before Kara changed her words, her eyes sneaked over Freya and Pennis, and then changed from five to seven, and Pannis immediately glared at Carla dissatisfiedly and said, "Are you vaguely sarcastic that I can eat three people......'s servings?"

"Then we will not refuse Mr. Carla's kindness. Catherine interrupted Pannis's nonsense with ignorance, and politely said to the Lord of Free City, "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord of the City. ”

"I see. Edith, who was dressed as a male waiter, also acted like a man, touched her chest with her right hand and bowed, and said respectfully: "Then I will arrange it according to the previous practice, and I hope you all have a pleasant evening." By the way, I've been waiting outside the door, and if you need anything, you can just ring the bell, and I'll be in for you in thirty seconds. ”

"Like her great-grandmother, she was a child of courage and perseverance. Kara sighed and said, "I hope it won't be the same fate as her great-grandmother." ”

"Listening to your conversation, Edith should be the heir of the Blue family, so her great-grandmother was also the head of the Blue family, and her fate is very bad?" Although his temperament has changed, his curious nature has never changed, and he put his arm on the back of Vivian's chair beside him, and asked expectantly: "Is there anyone else who can cause harm to her? Even if there are really strong people who oppress her, you city lords will intervene." ”

"In fact, it's not a tragic fate, and there is no substantial harm, and the city lord can't interfere. Carla smiled wryly and shook her head, "I saw her great-grandmother a few times when I was a child, she was almost seventy years old at that time, but her demeanor is still very charming, you look back, there is a self-portrait of her youth hidden in the painting on the wall, yes, that's it." It's a pity that such a woman who has both beauty, intelligence, courage, and perseverance has been depressed all her life, and it is said that although she got married and had children, she has always had one thing that she can't let go, and she is waiting with her eyes open until she dies. However, this involves the elders, and even the people in their family don't know the specific situation, and it has become an anecdote until now. ”

"Ahem. Pannisa coughed dryly, interrupting the topic: "Lord Kara, you are in a hurry to see us, isn't it just to talk about the past of the deceased? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, as soon as I saw Edith, I thought of Edlaide, and I couldn't help but digress. Kara smiled apologetically, regained her serious expression and said, "Someone is looking for you, and I'm in a hurry." ”

"Well, we already know. Catherine nodded, "Wesker has already told us, and I was going to go to your mercenary guild tomorrow to ask about the situation." ”

"Not only the Mercenary Guild, but also the Mage Guild, the Adventurer's Guild, the Shadow Hand, and the Chamber of Commerce have all received requests to inform you of the news. Kara counted her fingers and said, "Anyway, almost all of Yara's big guilds are looking for you. ”

"Is this wanted by the whole continent?" said Catherine with a wry smile, "We didn't do anything strange." ”

"Haha, it's not wanted, it's just to pass on the news to you, mainly because of the identity of the trustee, so the major guilds are embarrassed to refuse, so they can only arrange it. Carla laughed and said, "You don't have to worry, no one will come to the door to find trouble, hahahaha." ”

"I'm not worried about that. Catherine shook her head and said, "I just think it's weird." What the hell is the news, it has troubled so many large guilds. ”

"The message is actually very simple, just a sentence. Carla recalled, "I'm done deciphering things, come back quickly, I can't wait." ”

"Christo?" Pannis raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened, "News from him?"

"Looks like you already understand the meaning of this message. Carla nodded, "It's Master Christo, although this news is incomprehensible, but he said that you will understand what it means when you hear it." ”

"Yes, we get it. Pannis let out a long breath, leaned back in the chair, played with the wine glass on the table, and said with a smile on his face: "His efficiency is really high, I thought there were still a few months, but I didn't expect it to be deciphered now, it seems that he can't help but want to see the secret hidden inside." ”

Of the four girls, only Vivien was kept secret, and the other three already knew about Pannis's plan and had been worried about an accident. At this time, when they heard that the first step of deciphering the code disk had been completed, they couldn't help but glance at each other, barely suppressing the urge to cheer loudly in their hearts, and trying to maintain their calm expressions. Lina's voice was a little distorted, and she asked in a low voice, "Pennis, is it really okay?"

"If Christo is so eager, it means that he has found the exact location. "A good start is the foundation of success, and that's great news, thank you, Kara," Pannis said. ”

"What are you happy about?" Vivien, who was lying on the table with one hand and her chin in distraction, was finally startled and asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

"Do you remember that cipher disk?" Catherine thought for a moment, but still told Vivien part of it selectively: "Pannis has entrusted Master Christo to decipher it, and I have decided to rest for the night tonight and rush back to the Holy Capital tomorrow." ”

"Cipher disk?" Vivian's eyes also lit up, although she didn't know what everyone was excited about, but she was also quite interested in the content recorded in the cipher disk, and it was likely that there would be new knowledge to master, so Vivian nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"In that case, then I won't bother you. Kara nodded to Pennis, got up and left the box. (To be continued.) )
