Mannie was busy in the kitchen all night, and finally brought the hot potion into Ashinia's room, Carlo initially thought it was a potion to help Ashini heal her wounds, but after Mannie explained, Carlo learned that the decoction was a delicacy in Yursiman to regulate the state of the body, not the unpleasant thing that Carlo remembered.

Mannie knocked softly on the door, just to make sure Aherini knew she was coming in, or not to wake her up, and then gently pushed the door open, only to see that the futon on the large bed had been moved, and Ahernie was standing by the window looking at the sky in the middle of West Side, as if thinking about something. Mannie couldn't help but wonder if Ashini had just woken up or not, and what she was looking at.

"Mannie, you're finally here. Ashini smiled and turned around, the tiredness on her face not subsided, "It seems that a bowl of potion doesn't take so much time." ”

"I'm sorry, miss, it didn't take so long, but the craftsmanship was a little rusty, and I recooked it three times. Instead of quibbling about her failure, Mannie admitted it and led Ashini to her desk to serve her to taste.

Ashini's bedroom, facing south, was the largest of the four rooms, and was intended to reserve a desk and cabinet for working on papers, while the next room was much smaller to a bed and wardrobe. On the other hand, Carlo and Mannie's room, although facing away from the sun, is not small, and can be equipped with an additional set of tables and chairs.

The steaming soup had a comforting aroma, and Ashini picked up the bowl, stirring the contents, then nodded in satisfaction and blew on the bowl. Something incredible happened, the heat was blown away by her in one breath, and the decoction suddenly warmed up. Ashini took a small sip, then drank the bowl.

Seeing this, Mannie's calm expression turned into a sigh of relief, she had made a lot of mistakes in the kitchen just now, otherwise she wouldn't have recooked it three times, wasting a lot of ingredients. Although she was calm on the surface, she was still a little uneasy when she came in.

"Well, Mannie, it looks like you haven't cooked it in a long time, but the taste has been restored, and it's very tasty. Atheni put down the empty bowl and praised her with satisfaction.

"Thank you, miss, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Handing Arsini a notebook with a lot of paper between them, Mannie took the empty bowl aside from Ashini and smiled.

"Tomorrow you can cook three more servings, for Renault and Lou Juan, we came here from the west, they may be a little uncomfortable with the environment and climate here, and it is not good to be sick at this time. Ahini commanded suddenly.

Mannie, who was cleaning up the empty bowl, paused slightly, and had some doubts about Ashini's instructions or attitude, but she agreed without a pause.

"Okay, let's talk about today's events in detail. Ashini had already begun to read Mannie's manuscript carefully, not noticing Mannie's expression. And listened as she began to describe in detail what Carlo had passed before and after being shrouded in a pillar of light.

。。。。。。。。。

“。。。 And then, until you come back, Miss, that's how it happened. With that, Mannie swallowed, suggesting that she was thirsty.

"Well, there really was no warning before and after, and you didn't stay there to observe, which means we can't even know if this matter has anything to do with the Wisdom Garden. ”

"Yes, miss, but the Sacred Garden of Wisdom is open to the public on the surface, and anyone can enter it, but the more this happens, the more mysterious it becomes, because no one knows everything about it, and even for so many years, I have not been able to make up a complete map of it, but many sources show that some places actually overlap. In such a place, I really don't believe that what happened outside its doors had nothing to do with it. Mannie was convinced.

"Well, you have a point, but don't be too confident, you and I don't know much about the city, at least you don't know what the Templar Island is like near the harbor outside the city, where the Sorcer's Tower is visible in the distance but can't be found, and the palace on the sacred tree, so you don't know if there is any connection between them. We can only put our guesses about the Temple of Wisdom in the first place. Ahini cautiously analyzed.

"Yes, miss. Mannie didn't refute and immediately accepted her idea.

After that, Ashini stopped talking, and carefully flipped through the information that Mannie had worked so hard to gather. Time passed little by little, the cold dew gradually rose, Mannie's eyelids were a little heavy, but the cold woke her up, glanced at Ashini, she had seen the information she had collected to the end, although she was a little cold, but she knew Ashini's physique, so she did not remind her to put on her clothes, but endured the cold, cheered up, and accompanied her silently on the side. Finally, at this time, Ashini finally finished reading the information.

Closing the notes with the paper holding, Ashini looked up at Mannie, and found that her slender body was trembling a little, only to realize that it was already a cold night, and immediately got up and put her cloak on the bed, and said, "Let's put it on first, although it has not been washed, it should not be dirty." ”

"Miss, you are too worried, everything about you is so holy to me. ”

"Don't use that set of sensual compliments on me, it seems that you are a little sleepy. Ashini chuckled.

"I'm sorry miss. Mannie was indeed very tired at this time, and subconsciously prevaricated with the words at the banquet, and couldn't help but regret her gaffe.

"Okay, I've finished reading the thing, I've worked hard for you, and your information doesn't help you in this matter. ”

"I'm sorry, miss, to disappoint you. ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, it's amazing that you were able to get so much information and organize it. If the Wisdom Sacred Garden is really investigated by you in a few years, I'm afraid this information will be of little value. Anyway, thank you, Mannie. ”

"It is my pleasure, miss. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, although I don't have any doubt about the record of the Wisdom Sacred Garden in the data, but I am more concerned about the two pieces of information you have recently put in your notes, one thing is about the sage, according to your calculations, the current sage will step down in ten years, and the next generation of sages should also be selected, and since the Wisdom Sacred Garden was built, the sages of all generations have studied in the Wisdom Sacred Garden. ”

"Miss, do you think that Mr. Reynaud could have anything to do with the Sage?" said Mannie.

"If you don't rule it out, don't you think it's impossible?" Arsini asked rhetorically.

"No, of course I don't mean to contradict you, but, this Mr. Renault's words... Mannie denied it insincerely, and the second half of her voice was soft, and she didn't continue.

"Alright, believe it or not, please try to gather as much as you can about the succession of the sage.

As for the second thing, I know about the person Jiedev Pearson, the information says that he is a student of the Wisdom Sanctuary, and he was suddenly found on the docks recently, and drained the blood from his body, what is going on?"

"As I wrote in my sources, Gjedev Pearson is a descendant of the Archduke Hilgilli, but this bloodline is no longer important in Yulsiman today, and he is famous because he was a lustful and alcoholic, but he was also taken in as an apprentice by the Mentor of the Wisdom Garden. His death is related to the serial torture and murder of nobles in recent years, and like the other deceased, they are all declining side branches of the descendants of the three heroes, and this incident is suspected to be the revenge of the freemen of the West Side, as well as the friction between the canonized knightly nobles and the ancient nobles. Mannie explained.

"What do you think about that?"

"Miss, I prefer the former, although the contradiction between the canonized knight nobles and the ancient nobles is getting worse and worse, but this problem is not a day or two, and the squeeze of the freers by West Side is increasing day by day, and may have touched some of the bottom lines of these people, because I also found that many people among the commoners have disappeared, but they do not leave corpses like the nobles, they have directly evaporated.

Miss, you are so suddenly concerned about this, is it also related to the matter of the pillar of light?" Mannie wondered.

"No, it's just that this matter has something to do with Renault himself, even with me, Mannie, look me in the eye and tell me what you see. ”

With a serious expression, Ashini stood in front of Mannie. Mannie, on the other hand, looked at Ashini, who was a forehead taller than her, with her bloodshot eyes, for a moment, and then returned, "Mademoiselle, your eyes are very beautiful, dazzling, and very charming. ”

"What about the looks?"

"The black pupils are very mysterious. Mannie praised.

Ahini returned to her seat and said, "Mannie, there's a quote in your profile, 'Geddev is a playboy, but maybe it's his bright black hair that sets him apart, and his hair is always liked by women, making him a great gain among women.' Mannie, have you noticed the color of Carlo's hair?"

"It's black, and it's bright. Mannie was suddenly surprised, but for a moment, she was surprised not that she didn't notice this, but that Ashini actually noticed and connected the two unrelated things.

"Yes, that's right, and, in case you didn't notice, you looked into my eyes just now, and his pupils were the same as mine. Although black is not unique among physical signs, Mannie, if you have observed, there are actually two kinds of black signs, the dull jet black, and the very brilliant black you describe. The latter has some relationship with blood and was very common among the ancient aristocracy. ”

"Mademoiselle, do you suspect that Renault is a descendant of a nobleman and will be in danger for it?"

"No, such a trait can also be found among civilians, but I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with it, and what you just said about the disappearance of civilians makes me even more suspicious. However, whether or not the matter of the pillar of light has anything to do with this matter, please investigate it, especially the characteristics of the civilians, because compared to the matter of the sage, verifying the correctness of this guess is life-threatening, and I can also be involved in the same physical signs, do you understand?"

"Yes, I see. Mannie was more surprised by Arthee's association and reasoning than Carlo's safety, but after hearing the last half of the sentence, Mannie was more concerned about Argentine's safety, so she decided to find out about this matter, and the mastermind of this series of torture and murder never thought that it would reveal a trace.

"Alright, that's it. In addition to the above things, I have two other things that I need you to help me do.

First of all, today, while waiting for the verification of the inheritance papers, I also sent the diary to the Senate by the way, and was notified to attend the Parliamentary House in five days, so tomorrow the three of us will report to the Knight Academy, and we will stay there for most of the rest of the time, and you need to prepare the necessary things. ”

"Rest assured, I've already prepared the necessities, but why did the council wait for you to meet you five days later, isn't this disaster nothing in the eyes of the above?" Mannie wondered, even if the church got the information first, the royal family shouldn't have put Ahini's information aside.

"There is only one possibility, the nobles of the royal capital also got the information not long ago, and some game is going on, so the news we brought should be postponed, and five days is almost the limit of this matter.

Therefore, during this time, the three of us are afraid that we will have to stay in the academy and not come out, so as not to cause a lot of trouble. And you, Mannie, are somewhat famous in the royal capital, so you should also avoid appearing in the eyes of outsiders during this time to attract attention, and at the same time, this can also reduce the number of people tracking down the pillar of light to us today. ”

"Yes, miss. Mannie commanded.

"Another thing has to do with this. Ashini handed Manny a piece of paper.

Mannie took it with both hands and read it softly, only to find that there were only a few words on it: "Carlo Sack, Lokukaya, Meryl... Miss, what are these?"

"The name above is related to our Mr. Renault, aren't you also worried and curious about his origin, so, please ask you to check it, but this matter is not so important, you don't have to worry, of course don't tell that child" Ahini said lazily.

"Okay, I've worked hard for you today, go and rest. After all the instructions, Ahini's heart finally calmed down, and the tiredness finally came up, and she waved to Mannie.

Mannie also bowed slightly, her expression was somehow a little lost, and she picked up the empty bowl and prepared to leave, but Ashini finally noticed something unusual.

"Mannie. Suddenly, Ashini called Mannie softly, "It's been hard work for you in the past few years, in fact, you don't need to come to this strange city, if it weren't for this disaster, maybe I would have stayed in my town, and I wouldn't have come to the royal capital for the rest of my life." ”

Mannie was shocked when she heard this, turned around, and the warm current suddenly flowed through her heart, and even the cold dew seemed to dispel a lot, and there was an emotion that couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes, "Miss Ahini~" With the cry from the heart, she fell to the ground softly, sobbing softly, and couldn't stop anymore, but what she flowed out was not moved, but grievances.
