"Ah, wait a minute!"

Under Susie's pitiful gaze, Audrey exclaimed in surprise and ran out of the room in the blink of an eye. After a while, when she returned, she still had a pile of clothes in her hand, and commanded, "Susie, close the door." ”

Susie looked at Audrey with resentment, but obediently stuck out her hind legs and closed the door. I saw the girl put the dress she was holding on the sofa, and grabbed a little Lori next to her, and began to help her dress with shining eyes.

And the little Lori who was caught did not resist, and behaved like a doll and let Audrey dress up.

Audrey explained as she lifted her hands:

"Well, these are the clothes I wore when I was a kid, and I wore them only once, at the New Year's dinner in previous years. Ah, yes,"

Audrey's thoughts suddenly diverged, and her expression was a little serious:

"Ember, you'll need to prepare a dress, too!"

"Why?"

Ember looked down at his clothes and wondered, "Can't I wear this dress?" ”

Audrey put on a small face and said seriously:

"It's certainly fine in normal times, but how can a nobleman wear the same outfit twice on a formal occasion! That would certainly make one wonder if your family was in financial trouble, and it would be fine if so, but worse it might be considered disrespectful to the party host! ”

Audrey solemnly recounted the words she had been taught by her valet Anne, and finally added, "Glerint told me that he complained several times because you wore the same outfit every time you went to the party, and he asked if you had any opinion of him. This made him lose for a while, so he never dared to ask you to buy potion recipes. ”

"Huh?"

Ember asked rhetorically, "Isn't Firth wearing the same outfit as well?" The set of ...... that is beige every time."

"It's different."

Audrey earnestly explained, "Miss Furth is simply a fan of beige, but the lace decoration of the clothes is different. Just like the first time she wore a ruffled stand-up collar dress, and the second time she wore a court-style dress, and the third ......"

"Stop."

Ember interrupted Audrey's chatter and said nonchalantly, "Then so will I." ”

"Huh?"

Audrey looked at him suspiciously, "Has there been any style change in your clothes?" ”

Ember calmly defended:

"No, I just prepared a lot of the same clothes. It looks exactly the same, but every day it's a new set. ”

Audrey gave him a blank look, and she didn't have to guess to know that Ember was completely talking nonsense, could anyone really prepare many sets of the same clothes? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?

Audrey's attitude was extremely resolute, and she did not back down:

"I don't have a problem with Glerint's party, but if you go to the New Year's party, you must wear a new dress!"

"Okay."

Ember smacked his tongue and said casually, "I'll buy a set in two days." ”

"Nope."

Audrey raised her white index finger and said seriously, "Formal dresses must be custom-made, because many of the clothes sold in the store are the same, and many middle-class people wear such clothes." If you wear such clothes to the New Year's party, you will definitely be looked down upon. ”

After a pause, as if he felt that Ember was not afraid of this, he added, "And I will be affected by you when I walk with you, and you don't want me to be ridiculed for your reasons, do you?" ”

"Okay."

Ember shrugged, "Then I'll find someone to customize a set in two days." ”

"No, I don't."

Audrey blinked, smiled and groaned:

"There were several tailors in the Hall family, and Mrs. Genia had designed dresses for me and my mother when I was very young, and I had this dress for my seventeenth birthday. Dad and his brother each have a tailor, after all, they are the Hall family's external sign, and their appearance is very important. Well, Daddy and Hibbert's tailor he wants to use himself, but Alfred is not in Beckland now, you can use his tailor. ”

Ember touched his chin and asked thoughtfully:

"Is this true of every nobleman?"

"Of course."

Audrey said seriously, "For any nobleman, face is very important. If a nobleman wears a garment several times at multiple banquets, it can only mean that the nobleman disrespects the host of the banquet and is close to bankruptcy. ”

This will not only seriously affect the face and reputation of the nobles, but also affect the judgment of other nobles. If everyone thinks that he is close to bankruptcy, he will not succeed in whatever he does, and it will be difficult for him to gain the support of the other nobles. ”

"I don't doubt that the Hall family has such financial resources, but can other nobles really do it?"

In the face of Ember's inquiry, Audrey just shook her head and explained softly:

"Dresses can only be worn once, but they can be sold! Such garments were quite popular among the middle class and wealthy merchants, because they were worn only once, and they were worn by the aristocracy, so they could sometimes be auctioned for a higher price than the original price. ”

"Well, of course, if such a thing is discovered, it will also affect the reputation of the nobles. But for those nobles who are not very financially good, it is indeed a quite feasible path. All right! ”

While explaining to Ember, Audrey's hand movements did not stop, and she skillfully dressed the Kura sisters. At this time, I couldn't put it down and stroked the heads of the two little Loli beside me, and there was a crystal light in my green eyes. Ember followed the prestige, and the Kurala sisters, who had successfully 'transformed', had a delicate face like twins, and long shiny silver hair that almost reached their heels.

The difference is that Audrey may have deliberately tried to distinguish them, and they wore black and white princess dresses respectively.

It was only at this point that Audrey suddenly remembered an important question and asked curiously:

"What's their name?"

"Kurara and Kuralys."

Ember whispered, "They're sisters, and even if they die, their graves are still next to each other. ”

"Don't say such unpleasant things!"

Audrey glared at him with some annoyance, although she knew that the ashes of their sisters were in your hands, but it was a bit too embarrassing to say such things at this time! Moreover, the Extraordinary also have the extraordinary ability to manipulate corpses and spirits. But using ashes to summon spirits or something is a bit too wicked, isn't it?

However, the transformation eh~

Audrey looked at Susie, who was looking at her aside, and suddenly felt a little regretful. The audience path doesn't seem to have the ability to do this, and if Susie hadn't accidentally ingested the audience potion by stealing it, she could have prepared the assassin path potion for Susie.

Susie seemed to understand Audrey's eyes, and wagged her tail a little aggrieved and innocent.

Audrey sighed softly in her heart, looked at Ember with some heart, and asked with some excitement:

"Ember, can I take them to the garden for a while?"

"Of course."

Ember smiled and nodded, "If the Kura Lada Sisters are okay." ”

"Kurala, Kuralys."

With a look of anticipation in Audrey's turquoise eyes, she stretched out her hand to her pink twin sisters, "Can you come with me to the garden?" ”

The two little Loli glanced at each other, and stretched out their little hands to put them in Audrey's palm.

The corners of Audrey's mouth hooked up a little, bloomed an elegant and bright smile, and left the room with a little excitement holding the hands of the two little Lori. Only embers were left and Susie lying on the ground with her head bowed a little sadly.

"Susie, keep up!"

Susie's eyes lit up, and she suddenly burst into vitality, wagging her tail and following along.

"Miss Audrey, ah! Who are they? ”

"Wow~ so cute!"

"Miss Audrey, can I touch them?!"

Audrey had barely left the room when she was surrounded by maids in the hallway, all of whom looked at the Kura sisters with little stars in their eyes. But the maids obviously know how to be measured, although they surrounded them, they did not stop or slow down Audrey's pace, nor did they rush to start, but you looked at me with a word - just like Susie now, she was blocked by the excited maids outside the human wall, and she couldn't squeeze in at all, she could only watch.

In order to avoid the crowd, Ember left the small parlor after a while, and when he went downstairs to the living room, Hibbert, who had been reading the newspaper, was looking at him strangely, looking like he wanted to say something.

Ember walked over and sat down on the couch beside him and asked:

"What do you want to ask?"

Hibbert asked curiously, "Is that your daughter?" ”

"It's not."

"I don't look like it."

Hibbert nodded clearly, after all, a noble boy of Ember's age may show mercy everywhere, and may even have illegitimate children, but it is impossible to have two eleven or twelve-year-old daughters.

Hibbert looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "Are they extraordinary?" ”

Ember bowed slightly.

Hibbert immediately understood, no wonder he hadn't seen these two little girls come in just now, if it was an extraordinary person, it would make perfect sense.

Hibbert immediately straightened up, put on the appearance of a first-comeer, and asked seriously:

"Which way are they? How many sequences? ”

Although he is an older brother, he is only a 'younger brother' in front of Audrey's sister in the matter of the 'extraordinary'. There are many things he doesn't understand, so he can only ask Audrey or Ember. Although there is no shame in it, it always makes Hibbert a little depressed - obviously he is the oldest, how can he become the most 'brother'?

And now that he finally saw the two little girls, this immediately made him feel a wave of showing off and comparing.

Ember took a deep look at him, immediately saw through his thoughts, and said unhurriedly:

"The Assassin's Pathway, Sequence 7."

“……”

Hibbert's expression froze, and he immediately froze, how could he be higher than him in the personal sequence! Ember and Audrey can't compare, why can't he even compare to two eleven or twelve-year-old Lori?

I thought it was great to be extraordinary, but it turned out that everyone was extraordinary. Is the Extraordinary so worthless? And these are still two Sequence 7, and the extraordinary materials needed to buy potions alone will cost four thousand pounds. He is not short of money, but it is not so easy to cultivate an extraordinary person of this level.

"How's your potion digesting?"

Seeing Hibbert's appearance, Ember took the initiative to change the subject.

"Almost!"

Hibbert immediately became energetic and said with great interest, "In another week, my potion will be completely digested in half a month at most." ”

Ember asked thoughtfully, "Where is your pharmacist?" ”

Hibbert sighed lightly and said:

"Poor Laurent didn't make it through, and I gave his family a thousand pounds as compensation. But Alwyn succeeded, and after I had done a few dozen divinations, I chose what Russell the Great called an auspicious day of the zodiac, and he succeeded in becoming an extraordinary, a pharmacist. ”

Ember nodded without a trace and said:

"You have to be careful, if he says he hears the so-called oracle......"

"Don't worry."

Hibbert said without hesitation, "Alwyn is a faithful believer in the goddess, and if he really hears the so-called oracle, I will take him directly to St. Samuel's Cathedral and let him be baptized." ”

As he spoke, Hibbert had a hint of mockery in his eyes and smiled, "When Audrey just came downstairs, she told me to lend you Alfrey's tailor and prepare a dress for you." It's almost time, let's go. ”

"In such a hurry?"

Ember glanced at Hibbert in surprise, "Don't you have to work today?" ”

Hibbert shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"Of course there is work, but the people below will take care of it, and I am just a secretary, only responsible for the final summary and debriefing. And I'm more afraid that Audrey will be dissatisfied with my slackness than being reprimanded for mistakes in my work, and I'm just such a sister. And,"

After a pause, Hibbert added, "There is less than half a month left for the New Year's party, and this time is a bit tight. If it is delayed for another day or two, no matter how good the dress made by the tailor, it will be too late. ”

"Okay." Ember sighed and got up from the couch that wasn't hot yet.

"Wait a minute."

Hibbert shook his head with a serious face, his eyes deepened, his gaze retracted, and he took out a coin in his right hand, and flicked it into the air with a bang.

"It's better to go out today."

"It's better to go out today."

"Smack!"

Hibbert repeated the statement quickly, reaching out to catch the tumbling copper-colored coin, and saw that it was George III's head facing upwards.

"Very well, let's go."

Hibbert nodded in satisfaction and stood up from the couch while taking off the coat from the hanger next to him.

"Going far away?"

Ember couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene.

"Of course."

Hibbert shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "The villa is so big that it can't accommodate so many people, so there are only a few dozen servants here. It is more in the suburban manor, and the tailor usually does not use it, so it is naturally arranged in the manor. ”

After a pause, Hibbert said with some distress, "Wait a minute, I want to think where Alfred's manor came from?" Well, it seems to be next to my estate. Well? Where does my estate come from? ”

Ember shook his head helplessly, should he be said to be a nobleman who is the largest banker in the country?

Queens is an aristocratic district, but at the same time a villa district. With Sodrak Palace as the center, there are circles of villas spread out to the periphery. But for the aristocracy, it was not enough to have a villa in the city, they had to at least have their own family domain and a manor house on the outskirts of Beckland.

The villa was used for living, while the manor was only used for occasional large gatherings. While most aristocrats may not be able to use their suburban estates, having and not having them are two different things.

Because only when these three things are in place can one be considered a true nobleman. Otherwise, it would be the same as wearing the same dress twice, and there would be serious doubts about its financial health. And when a nobleman is suspected of his finances, it often means that he will be kicked out of that circle, and the blow will be devastating.

So even though Hibbert is not yet knighted, and Audrey is not even an adult, the three siblings have their own estates, even though they often don't go to them even once a year - which is why Hibbert doesn't even remember where his estate is.

Finally, after Hibbert finally remembered that his coachman should remember the location. It took more than an hour for the two men to ride through the streets and detour northwest from the man-made lake to the north, and finally arrived at an extensive estate in the northern suburbs of Queens.

——

West End, 6 Edward Street.

Iconser Bernard pressed her black top hat, pointed to the door of the house behind the fountain pool, and said to Klein, Issinger, and Kaslana:

"We have reversely investigated the various channels of news and data leakage, combined with the profile of the depicted face, and, with the help of the magic mirror, we have initially locked down a suspect object."

When it comes to the magic mirror, you pause obviously, and you don't know what price to pay for the answer you want...... Klein sensed the problem in Iconser's tone, and was inexplicably a little sympathetic to the other party.

The reason why Iconse called these wild extraordinaries to investigate the case together was because all three of them were involved in the case. At first, it was because of the serial murder, and halfway through Klein guessed that the murderer might not be human.

But before the official could react, the demon dog was found dead at another murder scene - it is said that it was another dog who killed the demon dog.

The case was supposed to end here, but the official extraordinaire asked him to analyze it again because of Klein's excellent performance. So the owner of the house, Patrick Jason, was involved, and even the detectives received death threats for it.

On the one hand, asking them to investigate cases does require their professional ability. On the other hand, there is also the consideration of protecting their personal safety.

"It's bad luck."

Klein listened to Iconse's introduction, and thought silently in his heart, "If I hadn't wanted to keep this identity just in case, I would have run away directly." ”

As he was surveying the villa, Crane suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He almost subconsciously turned his head and saw Iconse, and at the same time, with a slight consternation, he spotted a familiar face beside him. But now he was able to control his expression easily, just smiled and said hello:

"Hello, sir."

Iconse took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, a brilliant detective, who helped us find Patrick Jason. This is Dunn Smith, the night watchman of the Church of the Night. ”

"Hello, Detective Sherlock."

Dunn stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake Klein symbolically, his expression seemed to be a hint of surprise and confusion.
