Chapter 14 The Reader
"Didn't get a chance to get in?"
Maier nodded and replied, "I was going to go in that day to see if there really was a ghost, but before I could go in, a group of mercenaries went in first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"I heard from the residents next to me that this group of mercenaries made a bet with the militia captain of Maple Leaf Town that they would get three hundred gold coins if they stayed in the Viscount's Mansion for more than one night. ā
"At first I wanted to join in the fun, but after thinking about it, I still didn't go in, because if I did, it would be like adding a variable to the bet between them. ā
"If the mercenary wins, the militia captain will definitely blame me, thinking that it was me who caused him to lose three hundred gold coins, and maybe I will ask me to return his three hundred gold coins, I can't afford it. ā
"If the militia captain wins, the mercenaries will definitely blame me, thinking that it was one more me that caused them to not win the militia captain's three hundred gold coins, and they might not be able to fight against me. ā
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "So, you just walked around the Viscount's Mansion and went back?"
"That's right. "I only asked Master Loren for two days off, and one day was spent on the road, and the mercenaries obviously won't be able to come out for a while, so I can only ask the residents about the legends of the Viscount's Palace." ā
"What do you mean by material?"
Maier smiled and said, "You should know that I work at the Pisa Library, and I am a junior editor, and I am in contact with manuscripts from all over the country every day. ā
"These manuscripts come from all over the world, and the authors are quite diverse, so to speak, there are all kinds of them, so if you read too much, you will often want to write some stories yourself. ā
"I don't know if you're paying attention to Loren Anderson, but I published a short story on it, I don't know if you've heard of it, and it's called Snow White. ā
"Snow White, you are Grande, it's incredible!" A young man suddenly stood up with some excitement, walked up to Myer, and said, "I was immediately attracted to that story, what a good story." ā
"I thought it would be a work in which a master changed the author's name, but I didn't expect it to be a young author, and it's in our Xilin Town, you're really amazing, by the way, are you going to write a new story?"
I didn't expect that I could remember my author's name after I wrote a story, which is really a happy thing.
"I've got a second story for Loren Anderson, and if nothing goes wrong, it should be in the next issue." ā
"Then I went to Maple Leaf Town this time, although I didn't enter the Viscount's Mansion as I wished, but listening to the town's residents has gained a lot, and I am dealing with it now, and I should also write a story. ā
But it remains to be seen whether the story will be published in Loren Anderson. ā
"You can. "The young man still looked a little excited.
The middle-aged man pulled the young man behind him without moving, his expression seemed a little helpless, and he glared at the young man before turning to Maier, and said, "Mr. Meier, I'm sorry to disturb you, so we'll leave first." ā
"You're welcome, cooperating with the prosecutor is what every resident should do. Mel sent the three to the door.
After walking for a while, the middle-aged man suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Mayer, those thirteen mercenaries have all gone crazy after coming out of the Viscount's Mansion, if you have any clues, I hope they can provide them to us." ā
"Is there really a ghost in that Viscount's Palace?" said Maier, who looked surprised, and came back to his senses after a while, "But I'm really sorry, I don't have any clues." ā
The middle-aged man nodded and said no more.
Maier closed the door, his face was not very good-looking, he just went to Maple Leaf Town, and he didn't have any communication with the mercenaries, but the prosecutor came to ask about it.
It's weird, it's very weird.
Someone must be behind it against themselves.
Thinking of how many times she was aware of the feeling of being watched, Maier felt that she had offended someone, and then this person had been lurking in the dark, observing herself like a snake.
But since he came to Xilin Town, he has been an honest man, and he has not offended anyone at all, who will this person who is hidden in the shadows?
For a while, Maier really didn't think of this candidate, but this did not prevent Maier from being more careful about his future actions.
Walking upstairs, a cat crouched at the top of the stairs, looking at Maier angrily, as if it wanted to pounce on Maier and scratch Maier, but seemed to have scruples.
This scruple is not a scruple about the difference in strength between the two, but before this, the flower cat has tried to attack Maier many times, including frontal and sneak attacks.
But every time he was halfway through the attack, the cat felt a force acting on him, forcing him to withdraw his sharp claws that had been stretched out and close his sharp teeth.
As a result, Mel didn't suffer any injuries, but the cat himself fell I don't know how many times.
As a demonized creature with an IQ close to that of a human, the flower cat also understands what is happening between it and Myer, and understands that it can't resist, but it is still unwilling, very unwilling.
Obviously, two days ago, he was still a free-running cat, living in the Viscount's Mansion, eating without worry, even if he entered the swamp forest, he was also a king and a hegemonic existence.
But in the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner, and was signed a demon pet contract by a hateful human, and became a slave of a hateful human, and from now on he must obey the dispatch.
This hurts the cat's self-esteem too much.
Mel pointed to the side, and the cat decisively moved away from the way, but after getting out of the way, the cat realized what he had done, and suddenly fell to the floor again.
......
......
After returning to normal working hours, in the middle of Mayer's review, Wren, who came in from outside the door, suddenly came over and said mysteriously: "Mayer, I have good news for you." ā
Maier had a bad omen, last time it was Wren who told him good news, but he saw the witch in a coma and almost showed his feet in front of the bishop, although this time he planned to see it even if he didn't have Wren Maier himself.
But people always shirk responsibility, don't they?
"Tell me, what's the good news?" said Myer, tilting his head.
Wren frowned and said, "There is a person outside the door, who said that he was your reader, and came to you with admiration, saying that he hoped you could go out to meet her, but she is a very beautiful girl." ā
