Chapter 416: Amon Enters the Game
While Lady Carly was looking at the members of the maid group and worried about her daughter, Hugh stepped forward directly and asked the witch at the head, "Nightingale, where is Abner now?" ”
The head maid named "Nightingale" is actually the former "Nightingale of Despair" Panatia, and some of her soul has been in the form of a "seal" since it was fished out of the "River of Eternal Darkness" by Abner through a ritual, and even the current image is also a transformation, and it can't leave the scope of the Viscount's Mansion, so it was arranged by Abner to manage the witch maid group.
Speaking of which, Abner's new names for the former witches of the "Witch Sect" are quite strange, such as "Nightingale", "Scroll", and "Lightning...... In short, there are more like nicknames than names.
"Miss Hugh, the master has gone out to receive the first batch of guests to visit Beldan, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until the afternoon." "Nightingale" replied respectfully.
"That's right...... And what about Firth? Hugh asked again.
"Miss Wall's breakfast hasn't been touched yet." "Nightingale" replied tactfully.
That is, still haven't gotten up yet? Hugh reluctantly patted his forehead before instructing the Nightingale: "Send someone to get up Firth, and send these belongings to the room that was packed before." ”
"Yes, Miss Hugh." The Nightingale answered, and naturally took the suitcase that Lo Dilcha had been dragging and smiled at the boy.
Facing the witch's smile, Luo's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and then he said "I'll do it again" in his mouth, and he wanted to retrieve the box.
But how can his reaction compare to that of a former "Witch of Despair"? I saw that the "Nightingale" easily lifted the box that Luo could only drag with both hands with one hand, and even had time to raise the other hand to puff the hair, so that the small and delicate ears were revealed.
Seeing that his brother's face turned even redder because he was shy or ashamed, Hugh had no choice but to send away the maid group who had come out to greet him, and he took his mother and brother to the dining room.
Seeing her daughter obediently managing the maids who were obviously not simple in the posture of a hostess, Mrs. Carley recovered from her surprise, and while sighing about Hugh's growth, she also let go of some of her worries, but she still couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Are those the maids of Viscount Brian?" Isn't it too much......"
If it is a normal maid, then with the scale of this mansion, it is actually not much...... But those just now are too pretty, obviously "abnormal".
How much is that? You must know that Abner has wiped out all the witches under the command of the "Witch Sect" under the command of the "Yellow Saintess", "Red Saintess", "Blue Saintess", "Gray Saintess", and even the "Black Saintess" and "White Saintess", even if a large part of them were directly killed because they had done too much evil and took the characteristics, there are a few fish that have slipped through the net, but there are still dozens of left, and they are all here in the end...... Well, in Abner's words, it is to accept "brainwashing" and "labor reform".
And what you saw just now is just a dozen people who stayed in the mansion, because Berdan Cinema opened for the first time, and the territory is currently short of talents, so most of the witches of the maid group have been sent out to welcome guests today, after all, the witches have received a good etiquette education, and their abilities are not bad, so they are the most suitable emergency candidates.
It can be said that if there is really a war in the future, just the nearly 100-person maid group in the Viscount's Mansion will be enough for the Fusak military to have a headache.
After complaining in his heart, he thought for a while and replied, "They are just ordinary maids. ”
Madame Carly was a little unconvinced, but she didn't ask any more questions, after all, she was not in a position to care about the affairs of Viscount Bryne's family, so she asked instead: "Is the good friend you mentioned in your letters, Miss Foirth Wall, the famous writer Miss Foerth Wall?" ”
"Yes." Hugh nodded as he pushed open the door to the restaurant.
She ...... She also lives in Viscount Blaine's mansion? Lady Carly asked, hesitantly.
"Yes, she's not only my friend, but also Abner's good friend." Hugh replied as a matter of course.
As she spoke, she naturally led her mother and brother into the seats, and instructed the housekeeper to start serving.
Hearing this, Lady Carly sighed and became worried again.
……
On the other hand, after the first batch of guests saw the scenes in their "dreams" being brought into reality, Abner also sensed the progress of accumulating the completion of "wishes", and it is expected that tomorrow, that is, after the number of tourists reaches its peak, the "miracle" of transporting the "floating city" should be realized.
By the time he returned to the mansion in a good mood, lunch had ended, and Hugh's mother and brother had gone back to their rooms to catch up on sleep.
"How? Lady Carly and Lowe are used to me here, right? Abner asked with a smile.
"What's not used to? My family used to be a viscount......" Hugh replied, and then said, "But we can't let Luo live like this, it's better to find him something to do." ”
She was afraid that her brother would be blinded by the witches, after all, he was not Abner, and he didn't have much willpower, so he would inevitably be "charmed...... Even if those witches didn't use extraordinary abilities.
"Lowe's dream is to become a lawyer, right? That would allow him to go to the Bureau of Justice for an internship first, and then go to a school for the Bar Preparatory Examination when he is settled down in the future. Abner laughed, "I'll let Ronzel take care of him." ”
"Okay." Hugh nodded.
At this moment, Abner suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had received some news, then looked at Hugh again, and said with a smile:
"I'll help you get a 'reasonable' chance to take out the Viscount of Stafford ......
"Are you going to execute him with your own hands? Just tonight! ”
……
In a warehouse in the dock area where a lot of goods are stored.
Sherman sat on a filthy wooden box, her hands clipped behind her back, her body wrapped in thin, tough spider silk.
Her whole body was like being encased in a transparent cocoon, and she couldn't even make a sound.
"It's not a bad thing for you either." Triss stood in front of Sherman, a pitch-black flame in her hand, "At least you can be sure that he really loves you, or if he's cheating on you." ”
Angry and frightened, Sherman tried to express her pleading with a whining voice, but Triss was unmoved, and flipped her palm holding the pitch-black flame and pressed it against Sherman's stomach.
The flames, like spirits, first spread out like flowing water, and then penetrated the skin and flesh as if they were disembodied in a disembodied manner, trying to burrow into it.
Trissy's smooth, jet-black hair fluttered against the laws of nature, being pulled by invisible hands, stretching out in all directions, so that the air around her was stained with an inexplicable smell.
The hairs were faintly thickened, scattered from each other to their roots.
At the bottom of them, deep rays of light emerged, with curses and words, and flowed forward quickly, merging into the pitch-black flames, entering Sherman's belly, and quickly vanishing.
Sherman's face twitched uncontrollably, but there was no painful sensation, as if it was just a purely instinctive reaction.
She quickly calmed down, and saw Trissy's body in a long black dress in front of her fade little by little, gradually becoming transparent, until it disappeared.
Sherman's pupils dilated and struggled again, but he couldn't get out of the restraints.
She exhausted herself again and again, and began again and again, like a flood rising centimeter by centimeter in a silent warehouse.
At the same time, on the roof of the warehouse, under the crimson and starry sky, a girl holding an umbrella, wearing a single lens in her right eye, and beautiful long blond hair is standing firmly on the eaves, as if she is watching every move in the warehouse through the bricks.
"Opportunity? Or is it a trap? ”
The girl curled the corners of her mouth, and then looked at the figure that ran from outside the factory to the warehouse at great speed.
"The witch's infighting? Wrong...... In addition to a witch hiding by the side of the Viscount of Stafford , there is also a 'manipulator' in his heart......
"Huh? The manipulator is not a living person, but a 'secret puppet'...... It's a good concealment method, and ordinary archangels may not be able to see it!
"Let me guess who is controlling this 'secret puppet'?"
