Section 116. Night Attack

The appearance of the scavenger still brought some trouble to Annan.

For example, the banquet broke up unhappily again, such as the rumors that Annan had defected to the rat people.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Annan to come out of Scavenger Park and be seen by many scouts who were observing the place.

On the way back, Annan told Francois that he had joined the scavengers. Then ask him to help buy a Newtrude lyre.

Annan first went back to the bedroom to look at the little spider, and came to the study with the spider bottle in his hand.

The fire crow lay outside the window combing its feathers, and as Annan opened the window, it expertly jumped onto the desk and poked the glass bottle with its beak.

The pleasant night breeze poured into the study, Annan returned to the desk and brushed aside the fire crow, subconsciously picked up the letter and stopped.

It seems that he should keep his distance from the Reeves family. So that when the truth is revealed, there will be no pain for each other.

Let's start by cutting back on day-to-day communication......

Annan thought that the banquet would fail again, and the scavenger would take him away in the name of investigation but actually wanted to cooperate with the two sisters in the distance.

Then at the end of the letter, Annan wrote: "After this is over, I will leave the north for a while, and I don't have to worry about it......

Knock Knock Knock –

A knock on the door interrupted Annan, and the head maid said that Michael was coming.

Annan and the head maid said that when friends come in the future, they can let him in without notice. However, Michael only confirmed that he was okay and hurried away.

After Michael left, Annan looked at the written letter and threw it into a ball of paper baskets at his feet.

Writing like this will make the eldest sister worried, and the second sister came to Breeze City.

Picking up a new piece of paper, Annan rewrote the beginning, only changing his tone at the end: "I'm not a child anymore, don't always teach me to do things." ”

This tone made Annan a little unbearable, but subtle estrangement is better than a devastating collapse.

He had a hunch that with the scavengers joining, the real killer wouldn't be hiding for long.

Stuffing the letter paper into the letterbox and watching the fire crow melt into the night, Annan closed the window and picked up the glass bottle and returned to his bedroom, ready to meditate on the end of the tumultuous day.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door, and Annan opened the door.

Deira stood outside the door, her bare feet reflected faint lines and luster in the dim light of the oil lamp, and the veil-like corset skirt outlined the slender waist and navel.

The elf closed the door and approached Annan without saying a word.

"Dela?"

Annan didn't know whether to continue taking off his mage robe.

"I'm worried about you." Deira approached Annan, who was constantly retreating.

"Uh...... Thank you? ”

Annan's legs slammed against the edge of the bed, and after a moment of weightlessness, he fell onto the bed.

Deira leaned over to climb into bed—

Knock Knock Knock –

A knock on the door brought Deira and Annan to a standstill.

Deella sensitively leaps into the corner shadows, merging with the darkness.

Annan opened the door suspiciously, and was surprised to see the wine lady standing outside the door. She was still wearing the dress she wore at the banquet, but her hair turned into long wavy hair.

"Francois just went to me and said you're back, so I came over to see you, you're okay." "Sweetheart, don't get too close to the scavenger, you'll get ...... misfortune."

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't you want to invite me in?"

"Hmm...... Of course. ”

The wine lady walked into the bedroom with a gust of incense.

"When you look at the abyss, the abyss is watching you. The entanglement between the scavengers and Chaos is too deep, and most of their fate is corrupted by Chaos......" The Wine Lady looked curiously at the spider bottle next to the oil lamp, "Why do you want to raise a spider?" ”

"Because all spiders are children of the spider mother goddess......" Annan said casually.

Annan closed the door. He didn't mind talking to the wine lady. But Dela, dressed thinly at this time, did not know which shadow she was standing on. It made him feel a strange nervousness of being stared at.

He deliberately yawned and asked, "Is it okay for the wine lady to come so late?" ”

"Of course not......"

Knock Knock Knock –

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Ms. Wine's words and Annan's yawn.

"Young Master Annan, have you slept?"

The voice of the maid Abby came.

The wine lady looked at Annan in surprise, and her lowered hoarse voice had a strange charm: "Knock on the door late at night, it seems that something happened between you and my little maid......"

"We don't have anything."

"Oh?" The wine lady walked over to the terrace, "Then I'll avoid it, don't tell her I'm here." ”

Seeing the patio door open with an eavesdropping gap, Annan opened the door for the third time tonight. He was about to say it outside the door, but Abby eagerly bowed her head and got in.

"Young Master Annan, I have something very important to tell you." Abby seemed to have made some kind of decision, plucking up the courage to say, "I actually want to tell you ......"

Knock Knock Knock –

A sudden knock on the door startled Abby. She covered her mouth in frenzy, not knowing what to do.

"Who's out there?"

"Young Master Annan, have you seen Abby?" The voice of the head maid entered the room.

Annan motioned for Abby to hide under the bed, opened the door and said suspiciously, "I didn't see it either, could it be her brother's?" ”

"Okay, you have a good rest."

Annan watched as the chief maid walked away, and then landed on the beautiful figure that appeared in the hallway.

"Countess?"

Annan tried to get out of the bedroom, but the countess pushed him into the bedroom with force.

"Annan, I don't want to hide my burning feelings for you anymore......" The countess's scorching breath almost melted Annan.

"We shouldn't ...... like this"

"I know, but my heart was filled with worry after you were taken away by the scavengers...... It's just us here, no one knows what's going on......"

Annan couldn't say that almost half of Breeze City was here.

Knock Knock Knock –

Fortunately, a new visitor saved Annan.

"The wardrobe is still free." Annan pointed the Countess in the right direction.

Soon, Annan, who closed the closet door, opened the door again.

Francois's handsome tired face appeared outside the door.

“…… Do you want to join too? ”

"What's in it?"

"Nothing...... Why are you back again? ”

Francois walked into the room: "I forgot to give you this, the nobles who were transformed into rats at tonight's banquet...... Although it has nothing to do with you, are you going to say hello tomorrow? ”

Annan didn't want to close the door, but then a strong gust of wind poured into the house through the crack in the patio door, slamming the door shut.

Knock Knock Knock –

Just in time for a new knock on the door to sound again.

Annan calmly let the puzzled Francois hide under the covers, and opened the door with pure curiosity about "who will be next".

A cold crow-masked figure stood outside the door.

"How are you?"

The appearance of the centurion surprised Annan even more than Olmedo.

"It's so hilarious."

The centurion looked around the empty bedroom. "You are indeed different from other warlocks. ”

"Compared to you, the other warlocks are pure ascetics."
