Chapter 12: A New Enemy
After inspecting the territory, Emmivi chose to return to her mansion in the city. She did see many objects in the castle that had her mother's scent, as well as several important family members and allies, but Emmivi had no idea of being the heir, so she only went to find out where her mother once lived.
On the third day after Emmiway's return, her aunt Wendini finally returned to the mansion.
"My dear Emmyway, have you been having a good day?"
Wendini slowly flew out of the demon-driven carriage, and she maintained an elegant sitting position in mid-air, her gorgeous long skirt swaying in the wind, showing the style of the Great Witch.
There was no joy on Emmiway's face, and only a silent response. Wendini's face changed suddenly, and the wand in her hand pointed at the servants who greeted her respectfully behind Emmivia.
"Carly, what's going on? I should have told you to take Emmyway around the city. ”
The servants didn't know why Ventini was angry when she first returned to the mansion this time, especially Carly herself.
"Auntie, I have no interest in this city, so I am not happy about it. ”
Wendini noticed that Emmyway's clothes looked similar to those she had ordered the tailor to make, but in fact she had a lot of witches' dresses. Including Emmive's hair, which was also combed into a coil, with a hairpin that her sister used to use in the past.
"Emmyway, you went to the old castle?"
Wendini descended slowly and landed in front of Emmiway, her steps light, and between the raised hands a sheep-headed demon was already waiting between the two.
"Well, I've learned a lot about my mother's past, and I've met Lawrence the butler, Vivia, the keeper of the library, and the Knights, allies of the Sinecal family. ”
After hearing this, Wendini's cold gaze circled on Carly and the other servants, but she did not continue to get angry. "You're too anxious, Emmyway. My aunt knows that you are vengeful, but now I don't even know who murdered your mother. If you could rely on those people in the old castle to find out the truth, my aunt would have told you everything a long time ago. ”
"Auntie, don't you like the people of the old castle?"
Emmivi is not stupid, and combined with the attitudes of the two parties, it is obvious that a conclusion can be drawn. Lawrence, for example, was extremely opposed to Wendini as the family successor. At the old castle, Emmivi was unable to find Wendini's residence, and she asked the old servant of the castle to find out that it had been removed by Lawrence, the butler.
Wendini didn't answer, she made a gesture, and the demon next to her immediately presented the item. "Aunt brought a little gift, I hope you will like it. ”
The demon handed it to Emmiway, and vanished as if it appeared.
In Emmive's hand was a gold brooch encrusted with several fine purple gemstones.
"This is magic jewelry from the Black Forest. As a witch, clothes alone are not enough to become a real witch. Emmiway, there's still a lot to learn. ”
Wendini walked to the big house surrounded by maids, "Remember to come and drink tea with me in the afternoon." ”
Emmivi looked back and saw that there was no demon on the carriage parked at the door, and the groom in the mansion was driving the horses to the stables.
A few days ago, Emmiway wasn't too amazed by her aunt's magic, but now she has met several other witches and read a few witches' primer books. Emmiwei already has a preliminary understanding of witches, and there are very few witches who can reach Wendini's level, especially when I heard Vivia say that what Wendini is good at is not the magic *** mind control magic that fights head-on, and the witches who can surpass her are all old and immortal antiques, and they can be counted with their hands.
"Miss Emmivia. Do you want to go out to visit the arena in the city?" asked Amyway's little attendant, Minica, cautiously as she stepped forward.
Originally, Emmivi wanted to see the combat abilities of the so-called knights, but now that her aunt has returned, she has apparently brought a lot of news related to her. Naturally, the plan was cancelled, and Emmivi shook her head and motioned for Minicore to inform the groom herself.
"But there will be a number of well-known knights in the arena today, you see......"
In Mincole's thinking, the knights are all star-like big shots, and poor children like them need to consciously keep a distance of more than ten meters.
"No, didn't I hear my aunt ask me to accompany her for afternoon tea?"
Emmivi is also angry, she didn't see a servant dare to meddle in the family's internal affairs when she was in RB, especially a human girl who can't be used for anything. It happened to be used by her as a punching bag to relieve the pent-up resentment.
"Mincole, you're hot again, aren't you?!Brainless foodie!" Carly angrily walked over and pushed Minicale to the ground, shielding herself in front of Emmyway. She immediately became kind, and her tone was reversed 180 degrees, "Miss, don't pay attention to that girl. Mistress Wendini said that she wanted to introduce you to the Apothecary. She's in the back of the big house when you. ”
Emmivi somewhat understands Carly's relationship with Minica, and nine times out of ten, Minnie is Carly's relative. She fears that she is also a moody and dangerous person like Ventini, and deliberately protects Mincole, although in a rough way, so that Emmivi can't continue to be angry with Mincole.
In the afternoon, Wendinie took Emmiway to the back of the house, where there was also a garden, but in an open-air shack, and the species was mainly petunias and other vines.
The maid had already prepared the refreshments and consciously stepped back to the periphery. Wendini knows the rules, the tea party in the front yard is for ordinary people, and the backyard is dedicated to entertaining important guests and witches.
"So, Emmyway. Let's try the black tea with the scent of flowers and plants. Auntie, I like this kind of drink the most. ”
Emmiwei held the teacup in her hand and sucked in a small sip as the other party did. According to Lawrence and Vivia, her aunt is the most impeccable witch in Florence in terms of etiquette, not only powerful in magic, but also the first in Florence in other aspects.
"I want to know ......"
Wendini interrupted Emmyway's inquiry with a deliberate smile, "I'm in a hurry. My little cutie. This problem must be changed. On the contrary, I don't have high requirements for your dress and etiquette, and you don't have to follow my example. When others praise you, you don't just value fancy things, you have to be strong first, and then your characteristics, whether good or bad, will become good and worth boasting about. ”
"It's about my mother and revenge for her. Can I not be in a hurry?"
Although Emmiwei emphasized one side again, her tone seemed very weak, and she had to admit that Wendini's statement made a lot of sense.
"Then I'll just say it. Wendini tapped her finger on the table, and immediately a goat-headed demon appeared behind her.
"I met with a number of archwils, as well as the witches of the Inquisition, and told them about your situation and the facts you recounted. ”
The Goat-headed Demon presented a ring encrusted with amethyst and handed it to Emmivia.
"First of all, with regard to you, several of the current Board of Directors have recognized your rightful right of succession and a number of privileges. All of your mother's private inheritances can be activated and transferred to your name. Of course, they demand that you have to be an adult. According to the principle of the witch's headquarters, if part of the inheritance related to the witch's magical mysteries remains in the headquarters, only the heirs approved by the will can inherit it. Because your mother didn't leave a will, I couldn't move it before. If you go to the Witch Headquarters in the Black Forest in the future, I can find a way to get you in touch in advance. But four years is not too long, and I personally don't recommend that you contact the witch at the headquarters too soon. ”
Wendini pointed to the ring and motioned for Emmivi to keep it herself. "Headquarters uses this gemstone ring as a token, you can rest assured. The promise from the director-level witch is more effective than Jinshan. ”
"The second thing about your mother. The directors did not say much, and the most relevant judicial department said that they would definitely find out the truth and avenge the former minister. Hawkers~ Although the credibility should be discounted, many of them are your mother's students, so it's certain that they will take it seriously. ”
Emmivi had no idea what Wendini called the "Inquisition", and she didn't expect outsiders to help, and her mother's feud was of course up to her.
"Thirdly, with regard to Florence, according to the Ministry of Justice, several members of the remnants of the Black Death have infiltrated Italy. They're all bitter enemies of your mother and our Sinekars. ”
Emmivi remembered what happened to Lawrence Butler in the town a few days ago, although Lawrence Butler took the gem and said that he would deal with it himself, it was probably the witch from the "Black Death" organization that Wendini said was provoking.
"Actually, I met in the small town near the castle the other day. It is likely that it was the members of the 'Black Death' organization that you mentioned as your aunt provoked you. However, the gems left on the site have the 'malaria' pathogen attached to them, not ...... you say."
Wendini's eyes immediately changed, and she changed from the kind look she had just had. "I can't be wrong, I'll deal with it. Amyway, you have to remember that there are also taboos in our witch world to use magic. We can use poison to kill people, even hundreds or thousands of people, but we must not use infectious disease type magic. As long as it is researched or used, it will be designated as a target for extermination by the Ministry of Justice. That is, the enemy of the witch world!"
Wendini said it very seriously, and whether or not Emmivi understood, she inquired in detail about what she had seen a few days ago.
"Is that Black Death organization very strong?" Since it was the enemy of the family, Emmiwei naturally wanted to use the other party to practice her hands. The new dagger has not yet been tested with a living person.
Wendini was obviously stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Emmiway to ask such a question. There are not many taboos in the witch world, and there are no too many to say less, how many strong people can there be in the sword and the research of inferior disease magic?
"For us in the Sinekars, it's all vulnerable. Wendini deliberately didn't say why, she didn't want Emmiway to learn about the family's secrets too soon.
The whole afternoon tea party ended quickly. Wendini didn't have dinner and went straight to the consular district. Emmivi tries to follow, but Wendini refuses her request and summons several demons to guard the mansion.
