The main city of Aliman City as a marquis was not originally very large, but it was not the same as a trading city located at the junction of three major rivers, because of its huge trade volume, it became the ninth of the ten giant cities in the country of Yursiman, larger than the border fortress city of Sisis, but although it is huge, it is by no means gorgeous, most of the houses here are warehouses for hoarding goods, but this does not affect the wealth of Marquis Daniel, except for the title, his status is definitely as important as an earl, however, his mansion is very simple, except for the larger area, there is no sense of nobility。

At this time, Ashini and the others were waiting outside the door, and the captain of the guard introduced himself as Edus, but even if he saw the identity documents, he had never seen Ashini, so it was impossible to confirm their identities, so he naturally needed to go and report them.

It wasn't long before a chubby, shiny-skinned middle-aged man appeared in a simple and luxurious outfit, and when he saw Ashini stretching out his hands, he exclaimed happily: "Ah, my dear niece, I am so glad to hear that you have arrived safely in the city of Aliman, you have not seen your dear uncle for two years, and it makes me feel so lonely." Apparently this was Ashini's uncle, and Ashini smiled as well and went up to hug her.

But Daniel's smile didn't last long before he dispersed, sniffing at Athenie's hair, then suddenly letting go of her and saying, "Oh my God, my child, how long has it been since you bathed, you know how sensitive I am to smells, it seems that you have suffered a lot on the road." Orff, go and order someone to prepare hot water and dinner. ”

Ashini didn't care about Daniel's actions, as Daniel said, his nose was indeed sensitive, especially the smell of food, which was why he was so fat. "I'm sorry, uncle, it's true that I haven't enjoyed hot water for a long time, in fact, I haven't stopped for more than a month, if you don't say it, I have forgotten. But maybe you should hear what I brought first. ”

When Marquis Daniel heard this, his expression became serious, and he nodded: "Saidus, thank you for bringing my niece, I will ask Orff to send you a bottle of Boer dry wine in the evening, but don't get drunk, now you can go back to your post." ”

"Lord Marquis Xie, I'll go first. Cedes smiled and left, a bottle of Boer dry wine is worth a lot of money, it is only his month's salary that he can afford a bottle of good wine, but it is a pity that he has to keep vigil at night, this bottle may not be able to be swallowed alone, but the few guys who just offended Miss Ashini must not be divided, Cedes thought in his heart.

"Ashini, you go to the study with me first, we really need to talk about this matter, as for the people you brought......" Marquis Daniel turned his gaze behind Ashini, and his gaze fell on Lou Dien, who was also dusty, Carlo saw that look in his heart was cold, he thought for a long time and didn't know how to describe that kind of gaze, but it was by no means friendly.

Seeing Marquis Daniel looking at the expressionless Lu Di'an, Ashini took a step and blocked his sight and said, "Uncle Daniel, I said that she is mine, you should not have forgotten it." ”

Daniel smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, of course, dear Athenie. Orff, take these guests to rest first, and as for Miss Athenie's luggage, move to the place prepared for her. ”

Daniel's brief conversation with Arsini did not escape the ears of Carlo, who was standing not far from Arsini, he didn't know what kind of relationship Lucien had with this Marquis of Daniel, but he felt that the relationship between these nobles was getting more and more weird, which had to make him think crookedly, and when Marquis Daniel's eyes turned to his face, he suddenly felt creepy, and the polite smile on his face became very strange.

Then, the two left, and Carlo and the others were received and led by an old man with all white hair and a tuxedo, and led him and Lou Dien to the living room where they were resting, while Anna and the other servants went directly to decorate Archine's new room.

Marquis Daniel's study is located in the center of the second floor of the mansion, the study is not very large, except for a bookcase full of books and a desk, there are only three chairs, and even a window, but the door of the study is very heavy, everything is incompatible with this mansion, and this is only for sound insulation and concealment.

Closing the door, Daniel immediately spoke: "Okay boy, it's safe here, you can sit at will, you can tell me anything directly, is it that what you wrote in your letter is worse than you imagined." ”

Atheni did not sit down, but went to the window, looked out of the window twice, and then turned and said: "Yes, uncle, I think it is much more terrible than the letter, otherwise I would not have written to tell you that I will borrow from you, and I am afraid that I will never return to the place I came from, let alone come to you day and night for the past month, without stopping." ”

Daniel frowned and said: "On this point, my dear, I have no doubt that I once won a place for you in the Knight Training Academy in the Imperial Capital, but you would rather stay in that remote place, and now you have offered to ask me to arrange it for you, which makes me realize the seriousness of the matter, but I don't understand how you made such a judgment." ”

"Uncle, let me make such a judgment is naturally well-founded, in fact, there is something in the black urgent mail that I did not send out, and such a thing was not mentioned in the urgent mail, I think this is because such a thing was sent to the writer after the urgent letter was written, and because of the urgency of time, Baron Arson, who wrote the urgent letter, did not rewrite it, but put it directly into it. ”

"What, you're hiding something from the black rush, oh my God, it's been revealed, why did you do it. Daniel was shocked.

"Uncle, don't worry. Atheni took out a thin and dirty notebook from her bosom and handed it to Marquis Daniel and said: "Here are a few pages of diary, written by the watchman on the border of the Cursed Mountain, which records the news of the undead he has seen, I am afraid that what is written on it will cause panic, and secondly, to let you know first, so we are on the road day and night, I think our speed is not much slower than that of the messengers." ”

Daniel nodded: "Yes, the person you sent to deliver the letter has only been here for two days, and you came, and I just heard Edus say that you are here, I can't believe it." ”

"Uncle, I would like you to write another letter to the Imperial Capital and hand it over to the Senate, using your personal channels, so that you don't have to travel around the cities along the way, and you will be faster than the messengers. In the meantime, I will not be charged with any charges, but I may be rewarded for it, and before I do so, you can take a look at the contents of this diary. ”

In fact, there is no need for Atheini to say, when Marquis Daniel took over this diary, he began to flip through it, and after reading these three short diaries, he was very shocked.
