64. Slave owners

Suddenly jumping straight from a tall building, if it weren't for the absolute trust in the "gentlemen", Alice would definitely hesitate for a moment.

Suddenly breaking into the night sky, the body that can't fly will naturally fall quickly because of the law of gravity, the laughter of another "self" and the Cheshire cat, the touch brought by Xi'er unconsciously hugging herself, and the sudden appearance of the queen floating in the air, all of this seems to have happened just now.

It must be because the memory is too much to remember that time, so it hasn't eased up, whether it's the first time I did a crazy thing like "jumping off a building", or about ......

Everything about Irina that guy.

"Wow, what are you doing!"

Alice, who was thinking about life, was coldly splashed with water by Hill, a little hot, but ...... At least Alice has come back to her senses.

The presentation had ended in a very "helpless" way, and the Magic Society, which ended the operation in a "raid" way, could be said to have achieved half of its purpose, at least in the explanation of the "riot" afterwards, the Professor Price must have spent a lot of time. The pressure from all sides was enough for him to completely change his current "plan".

Teacher Goni also returned to the association safely, but judging from the shrugged face of the March Rabbit who came to report the news, it was obvious that she still did not "get rid of" the hidden dangers of the witches in the end. But it's not a failure, after all...... It was at the Magician's headquarters, and the geographical disparity was too obvious.

The "other self" ran away from nowhere after falling safely with her own help with Her Majesty's help, and she must have hidden many, many secrets that she wanted to inquire about. And...... She doesn't look that good. It would be nice if we could meet again.

Call...... But more than that. Now there is clearly something more to focus on. Irina. And her "master", if the "outside" world surprised herself, then...... This must be the "biggest" gift.

......

"Can't you see? ”

With a wave of her hand, seeing that Alice didn't react any more, Ciel fell silent. Maybe it's because she's really tired, her long-lost suggestion to take a bath together for "joking" Alice didn't refuse, but when the two sat face to face in the bathtub in a daze, Ci'er found out that it seemed to be ...... The atmosphere became even more dreary.

It is said that "honest meeting" can bring each other closer. Why is this sometimes not so accurate?

"Now, Ciel, aren't you angry?" Alice, holding her knees, looked up, the steam in the bathroom made her breathe a little difficult, "I took you hostage or something." ”

"Ah, that's it? In that case, I also needed a way to leave. At that time, it was the only way to get a little attention from you for a while. ”

While making a splash, Ci'er let out a rather helpless sigh, "There are some things for me, no matter how carefully I think about them. No matter how rigorous the calculations are, there is no way to do it. ”

Disabled legs. Call...... This is probably Ciel's only weakness.

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's fine. ”

Xi'er's too "serious" answer also made Alice speechless for a while, even if it was just a joke, saying something like "if you want to apologize, use your body to pay back", at least it can make the atmosphere lively, but now......

Except for the untightened faucet that was still dripping, there was no extra sound to be found. Filled with water vapor, the heavy air also fills the surroundings, making people faint and suffocate.

"Ciel ......"

"That man's name is Aesop, and as far as I know, his status is supposed to be a nobleman with a fief granted by the royal family. ”

This time, it's not the same as before. Ciel didn't let Alice say any "information" in exchange for it, whether it was because she was tired or because she gave up, what Alice heard about Cier's statement was indeed there.

And...... It's hardly a lie.

"It's been a certain amount of time, don't look at him with a young face, in fact, he is also one of the first to be awarded a group of more important nobles, and his age is by no means what you think. ”

......

"I have investigated Aesop's situation a little under the orders of my master, and it can be said that his identity is not only the current noble, but it is also clear that if there is no other force to support him, he will definitely not be the first nobleman to have a fief. ”

After a pause, Ciel said, "After that, I looked up some of the current 'witches' things, although I can not know much about us ordinary people and read much, but it is enough to find one thing. Isolt used to be a student of an adult, in other words, he and the current witches were former 'classmates'. ”

"So that means he's a magician too?"

"It should be said that it is more appropriate to call it 'witch', even if it is a man, the title that he has after reaching a certain level of strength is also 'witch'. ”

"But I don't know why, the witches don't have a very good attitude towards Aesop, of course...... You should be able to detect the reason, Alice. ”

No, it couldn't be clearer.

The kind of gaze that looks at others like a "brute" and ......

"Rumor has it that Aesop has been trading and domesticating 'slaves', selecting homeless young orphans. These are the materials that my master has given me to investigate in a forceful way, and the orphans who have been taken in by Aesop are not able to survive in easy conditions, perhaps the complete opposite, they are trying to survive in a place that is close to 'hell', full of enemies and decay. Because he was an orphan and was treated as a slave, no one would care if he was injured or died in the process. ”

"Then Irina she ......"

"If you succeed in 'surviving', your interest will be able to get Aesop's attention, although it's also a kind of animal-like attention. ”

With a sigh of relief, Ci'er's breezy expression gradually narrowed, "Alice, do you remember the 'Zero' you helped me catch a while ago? ”

"Although it's just a 'beast', you should understand a little bit about how fierce these 'dogs' are. (To be continued.) )
