Chapter 184: The Thief
Brando was the penultimate to walk into the Old Manor.
As soon as he entered, he found that the world here seemed to have changed, and the people in front of him who were frozen in place made his heart beat even more.
"These people?" He immediately denied his speculation, "No, it can't be that something happened to them." This is not an abyss. ”
He quickly regained his composure and scanned the manor again, only to be surprised to find that there was no Thor here!
"Only he wasn't set here? What's going on? ”
Anyway, Thor seemed to have escaped the door, much to Brando's relief.
"If Thor can, I should be able to do it too." Brando still had three bodies in his bag, and since he had come back from the run, he had taken almost all of his belongings with him.
"I don't know where Thor got into the Old Manor." Brando looked left and right, and suddenly noticed footprints on the ground.
"This footprint went straight into the manor! Only Thor was not fixed outside, and the path he took could lead to the manor. ”
Brando's eyes narrowed, ready to follow Thor's path.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the rotten steps, he suddenly felt that he was being hugged by his calf.
"I've got someone, now it's ...... turn"
Before the little girl could finish speaking, Brando's head "swooped" out of her body and flew into the air.
The little girl stopped in the middle of speaking, and she looked at the head flying into the air with a calm face and a resentful look in her eyes.
"You're fooling."
Brando didn't pay attention to the little girl, just paid attention to her body.
Sure enough, after the little girl touched his body, a numb sensation began to spread upward from the soles of his feet.
If he had hesitated a little just now, I was afraid that he would have been frozen in the same place.
"There's something wrong with this little girl."
Brando flew in the air and opened his mouth, and a black shadow suddenly shot out of his mouth and hit the little girl on the head.
"Click!"
The little girl's skull immediately split into four petals, and a puff of dust scattered from the skull.
However, the little girl's mouth was still moving, and she let out a "giggle" laugh.
"Got you, got you, it's time for you to be a ghost!"
Brando knew in an instant that he was going to suffer, and in the next second, his whole body appeared in a gorgeous hall.
Brando instantly felt that his palms were heavy, and when he looked down, he was holding a huge wine tray.
A dozen crystal goblets filled with an amber liquid were placed on the wine plate.
He turned out to be a bartender in the banquet hall?
"What are you doing in a daze, go and deliver wine to the guests! If any of the guests don't have any wine in their hands, just wait for it to become a new glass! ”
Brando was suddenly pushed, and he couldn't help but stumble two steps forward, even though he didn't feel much strength.
"My strength is gone." He subconsciously protected the tray in his hand and didn't let the wine glass fall to the ground.
At this time, a man in a purple gown with a wine glass came over, he looked at Brando, and chuckled, "Did you off that little girl?" Why is it that everyone else is a VIP guest, but you are a bartender waitress? ”
Kismet laughed hard, her silver bangs trembling in front of her eyes, and she didn't hide her schadenfreude at all.
Brando and Kismet were unacquainted, but he knew the man's name.
"Perhaps, I the owner here." He was disdainful in his heart, after all, he had escaped once, but he didn't expect that his attack on the little girl would also be recognized as contact, causing him to be arrested again.
Next time, run immediately, don't stop, and don't counterattack.
"You guys who came in first, do you know what's going on here?" Brando asked Kismet in a low voice to see if they had discovered any new rules.
"What I found so far is probably to play my role well, otherwise I will be kicked out by the host of the banquet."
Kismet pressed the goblet to her lips, her eyebrows crooked, and this time she smiled a little more vaguely.
"The blue-haired wizard with monocles just now had to go up to the second floor despite the butler's obstruction, and now he has been kicked out of the hall, and he doesn't know where he went."
"Butler?"
"A woman in a black tuxedo and a bowler hat...... I don't know where to go now. But you're a bartender, so you might be able to check it out in the back kitchen. ”
The hall was bustling with people, and Brando quickly found everyone, and after five minutes, the butler mentioned by Kismet brought in the last short wizard to enter the second order.
Brando knew this man, his name was Durut. Because a failed witchcraft experiment caused the body to shrink by a third. It was probably the first time in his life that he wore a formal dress.
It looks like he won't even be able to walk.
But Durant waited in place for a few more minutes, but still didn't see Saul.
He couldn't help but ask Kismet, who had just returned from inviting a lady to dance, "Did you see that young wizard coming in behind you?" ”
Kismet, who seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming in, smiled, "Thor, you say? ”
"You know him, too?"
"The reputation of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower is not low." Kismet chuckled, then smiled again, "I haven't seen him." Not all the time, and the guests, servants, and even the hostess who only occasionally appeared here were not Thor. ”
Brando remembered that Thor was the only one who didn't appear outside the manor, though he didn't tell Kismet about it.
"I'll look for it."
Bartender status also has benefits. No matter where he approaches, he does not arouse suspicion.
Brando walked around the hall with a wine tray, and was stopped by the butler when he reached the circular staircase deep in the hall and was about to go up.
"Madame has no request, can't go up."
"I'm sorry."
With the experience of the blue-haired wizard, Brando did not entangle and left directly.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard footsteps on the stairs.
The sound was very urgent, completely different from the laid-back, cheerful tone of the hall.
Brando immediately looked back and saw a woman dressed exactly like the housekeeper coming to the middle of the stairs with an anxious face.
She shouted into the noisy hall without figuration: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone broke into the manor! ”
The playing in the hall suddenly stopped, and all the guests stared at the stairs in amazement.
But a few wizards who were inexplicably dressed as guests were overjoyed.
In this hall, they all temporarily lost their ability to cast spells, so they couldn't even go up to the second floor.
Now that one more person has broken into the manor, this boring dance party is finally starting to change!
Lucy immediately dropped her dance partner and followed the crowd towards the circular staircase.
"Who broke into the manor?"
"Is it a robber?"
People stood in the hall, looked up at the butler, and asked questions.
"It's an uninvited thief!" The housekeeper's face was grim, and the corners of his forehead were bruised, "He stole our wife!" ”
