Chapter 51: Leander

The castle of Anjitan is larger and grander than that of Leng Creek. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWalking in it, the castle is well lit and the décor inside is not as monotonous as Cold Creek. It is said to be a defensive aristocratic castle, and Shilinya believes that it is a chic seaside villa.

Walking briskly through the corridors inside the castle, Shilinya was not in the mood to admire the decorations, nor was she in the mood to salute the servants along the way.

Shilinya just followed behind a anxious Alain, walking down the long corridors, sending up the crooked staircase, opening door after door.

For the first time, Shilinya felt the pain of living in this home in the future, if her room was on the top floor with the best view of the city and the ocean, she would definitely die, who would want to climb such a high staircase in such a world without elevators?

Now only Shilinya and Alain are constantly walking around this castle, and the others are assigned various tasks.

Shirinya, who was weaker in her constitution, struggled to keep up with her father's pace, and just as she was about to lose her hold, Alain, who had been sprinting ahead, finally stopped at a door.

Shilinya bent down, her hands on her knees and panting, if she hadn't been able to bless herself with all kinds of magic, Shilinya would definitely believe that the other party was trying to exhaust herself halfway.

"Labyrinthine home. Shilinya raised her head and looked at the scenery outside the window of the corridor, and the panorama of Anjitan City was in full view, "It's annoying!"

"Duke!" a shout of surprise caught Shilinya's attention, and the owner of the voice was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a full white beard and neatly combed gray hair, and the other party's gray hair was not the natural hair color of Alain and Shilinya, but a kind of gray hair due to age.

It was hard for Shilinya to imagine that this middle-aged man, who was about forty years old and not yet fifty, would have such an aging face, in addition to gray hair, black eye bags were the best proof of the other party's hard work day and night. It is not difficult to see that the other party has no extra time to exercise, and the slightly protruding belly seems to tell the fact that its owner sits on the chair all day and does not move.

"Something happened. Alain looked nervously at the other man, his hands in plate armor gloves pressed against his shoulders, which had less fat than elsewhere.

"It's complicated, I'll talk to you about it later. Shilinya guessed that this was her father's close comrade-in-arms, Leander, but now the other party didn't seem to want to explain what was going on.

"Miss Kayla hasn't eaten for two days, and now she's just huddled in the corner of the room, showing great hostility towards anyone who wants to get near her, and now she doesn't know that she brought a needle, and we're afraid that something will happen sooner or later!" Leander quickly described the current situation to Alain, and it had to be said that such a thing scared both Alain and Shirinya.

"Why don't you find a mage to control her?" Shilinya immediately proposed a simple and violent method, why wouldn't the other party have such a simple method?

"Tried and nothing happened. Leander immediately refuted Shilinya's idea, and there was no doubt that Shilinya's reaction made Leander give this eldest lady who had been missing for many years a high evaluation in his heart.

"In the beginning, we would also bring in skilled guards to exchange food for fluids and pour it into Miss Kayla, and we brought in all kinds of alchemists, mages, and various shamans and priests, but no progress was made, and now we don't even know what kind of illness Miss Kayla has. Yesterday, when we tried to help Miss Kayla eat, Miss Kayla took out a needle and put it against her heart to threaten her. "The seriousness of the matter doesn't need to be thought about too much by Alan at this moment, Leander immediately proposed a method that has no basis at all, "Duke, now you go in and talk to Miss Kayla, Miss Kayla and the Duke are usually quite friendly ......"

Before he finished speaking, Alain had already snatched the door inside, and the sound of the room crashing sounded, and the originally open door closed instantly, and Shilinya had not seen what kind of scene was inside.

Looking at such a sturdy gate with various carvings on it, Shilinya silently took her eyes off the gate, and finally fell on the slightly obese middle-aged man on the side.

Sensing the gaze of the girl next to him, Leander's originally worried expression was immediately replaced by a confident and comfortable smile, and I have to say that the other party's expression was very deceptive. If it weren't for the anxious appearance of the other party just now, Shilinya would definitely believe that the other party is an elderly uncle who is not too troubled and is now living a satisfactory life.

This kind of face-changing technique, throughout Shilinya's short life, can only be seen in the Duke of Ian and the close comrade-in-arms of the father in front of him.

"Shilinya Elian......" Shilinya made a simple curtsy, greeting and introducing herself.

But Shilinya had just said her name when the other party reached out to block her next move, and the greeting that came out of her mouth was also stuck in her mouth.

Leander playfully raised his eyebrows at Shilinya, and a child-like joy filled the other party's face: "I'm your Uncle Leander, don't you remember me?

Shirinya's joints were firmly held in the air by the opponent's hands, and she couldn't go down but go up to resume her original movements. Shilinya didn't know that the other party wanted to block her progressive, polite aristocratic etiquette, but now that it was the other party's hidden request, Shilinya could only comply with his wishes.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Leander, it's been a long time, and I don't remember it anymore. Shirinya regained her old upright position, but she didn't say she recognized the other person. Say more, get wrong more, that's what Shilinya thinks now.

After coming out of the mausoleum, during the inquiry between Shilinya and Alain, Alan had promised Shilinya that he would give him some information about his mother's research on Newleki, as well as Kane's speculation, but now he has not received it.

Shilinya had guessed what was going on with the information that hadn't yet arrived, but before she saw the real thing, the thoughts in her head were always guesses.

However, Shirinya thought of a possibility that her father had obtained information about his traveler from her mother's diary, but the other party seemed to have an ambivalent attitude towards this matter, which led to being too conflicted in that conversation, which can be said to be an interrogation.

Now that it is certain that Kane and his father and Newleki are the ones in the know, Shilinya thinks that the fewer people who know, the better. Now I have to fool the things before I crossed over, otherwise I will be easily caught by the other party.

Although Shilinya didn't think that such a fact would have any impact on her, and it was a question of whether anyone believed it, Shilinya still didn't want too many people to know about this kind of problem.

"Is that so?" Leander's originally happy expression immediately became depressed, and his frowning brows, his eyes almost full of tears under his brows seemed to tell the infinite grievances of his master, "It turns out that in the mind of the eldest lady, Uncle Leander is so non-existent!"

An uncle with a white beard and gray hair behaved like a child in front of him. If it weren't for the sight of the other person in a fancy costume and now in a huge castle, Shilinya would have been convinced that the other person was a circus clown - only a clown would have such a comical and non-disobedient expression.

"Well, Uncle Leander, I just don't have a good memory, but I don't have much of an impression of anyone I had when I was a child, except for my mother. Shilinya explained to the other party very apologetically, but it was not something she should consider if she reluctantly explained whether the other party accepted it or not.

"Oh, so that's it!" Leander clapped his hands and his expression almost cried out of his eyes was instantly replaced by joy, "Then the eldest lady must have prepared a huge book to make a memo, and it can be used as a shield on the battlefield, which is simply too smart!"

Following the direction of the other party's finger, Shirinya saw that the other party was pointing to the book she was carrying behind her, and the memo was not counted, but it was just a pile of scratch paper that could be used infinitely and doubled as a game book when she was bored.

"That's it!" Shilinya didn't know why the other party could be so lively, could it be that the people engaged in politics in this world are such disguise masters?

"Well, Uncle Leander, why did your expression change so quickly?" carefully surveyed the other party's face, and it seemed that the other party's face was now changing a little bit. Shilinya has already regarded the opponent's face-changing technique as the opponent's exclusive stunt.

"Because Alain was in charge of the war, and I was in charge of the diplomatic and financial management of the territory. Leander's original funny expression disappeared and was replaced by a serious face: "I have to use different complexions for different people, and I am busy with work, and when I practice a lot, I will know how to do it." ”

"And ......" the rough, fat hand pinched Shilinya's small nose unexpectedly, "The eldest lady loved to watch Uncle Leander's disguise show when she was a child, don't you remember it so soon?"

"I agree with the first words, but I'm not sure if that's the case. Shirinya, who was pinched by the other party's nose and looked embarrassed, thought.

And my sister who doesn't know where she came out is now living or dying in the room, so you seem to be having so much fun now, is it really good?

Shilinya shook her head gently, and Leander, who saw the other party's embarrassed expression, also let go of her hand playfully: "And Miss Kayla also likes Uncle Leander's performance, and I make her laugh like this whenever she has a sad face." ”

"But it doesn't seem to work now......"
