Chapter 467: The Master Who Returned Late
It wasn't until the elegant oasis city had completely sunk into the night that Daphne's guests finally had dinner.
The result of the hustle is a pile of ...... dipped in cream and jam What might be called an "omelet", the only plate of decent cream cake, and a bucket of cream that you simply can't eat. After eating, Na'er was excited to play with the cream as a snowball, but Xiulin flicked her forehead fiercely and dragged her to the room to change clothes.
Aisha hurried back to her room to change her clothes, and Carlo sat at the table for a while, then stood up and walked out without saying a word, where the smell of cake and wine and meat was now like the cellar of a restaurant. After a few steps, he turned around.
"What time is it?"
Surprisingly, he didn't seem to want to ask Ivan where he had gone in the afternoon, but asked a very ordinary question.
"Huh?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out his pocket watch, "It's nine o'clock!
"Devany Scherling didn't come back. Carlo's brow furrowed slightly, and he walked out the door.
The sound of birds flapping their wings sounded under the night sky, and the night in Alcatia was still calm, and Carlo stood silently under the porch, looking out like a hazy shadow in the distance. It doesn't seem to be a bird, it's a feather clan, rushing to a floating island higher up. The Feather Clan's flight distance was short, and soon the vague Feather Clan's shadow landed and disappeared into a cloud of scattered lights.
This is the city of the Feather Clan, and there are many Feather Clans who can fly.
After realizing this. Carlo immediately returned to the room and cautiously closed the door.
Devany never returned.
After changing out of the slimy clothes, Ashia, Na'er, and Xiulin discussed the "cake problem" for a long time, and Xiulin opened the window in the dining room, and the evening breeze brought the fresh smell of the lawn and trees in the courtyard. However, until everyone took turns to take a bath, the star-like lights in the city gradually went out, and only the starry sky remained, and the owner of the garden was still nowhere to be seen.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ah......h
Na'er stretched wide, blinking sleepily. She tugged at Xiulin's sleeve. "Sister Xiulin, Na'er is so sleepy. ”
"Uh-huh, let's go to bed. ”
Xiulin put her arms around Na'er's shoulders lovingly, and sudden. She looked up.
"Miss Xueling, she said she would be back tonight, right? It's already past twelve o'clock. ”
"That. That's not today. Oh no, Sister Yu said it yesterday, that is. Sister Yu doesn't count when she speaks......" Na'er muttered in a daze as she nodded. She had a lot of fun tonight, she was very full of food, and she was not lightly tired, "If we all fall asleep, will the Feather Sister come back and open the door by herself?
"Little fool, this is originally your sister's home of the Yu clan, she has the key. Xiulin smiled and ruffled Na'er's hair.
When she left the restaurant, Xiulin squeezed her eyes at Ivan and Esya, so keen that she couldn't see Ivan's absent-mindedness. Ivan had forgotten about Bard and Algernon's requests because the atmosphere was so lively, and Carlo's "Devany Shelling didn't come back" was like a cool breeze in the night that made him feel a little sober.
He also wanted Devany to go to the lake in the evening, but he couldn't do it.
"You're looking for Devany Shelling?"
Carlo sat upright in his chair, his eyes a little more inquiring.
"Uh, uh...... It's okay, but I can't help it if she doesn't come back. Ivan looked up at Carlo. Carlo never asked him if he had gone to Nǎ, probably not thinking it was impossible for Ivan to have someone he knew in Arcatia City.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Ivan quickly added.
Freya had been staying at Bard's house for a week, and with Elder Algernon in his presence, staying for one more night shouldn't cause trouble, and he didn't want Carlo to be suspicious.
"Oh. Carlo nodded, "I'll go back and rest." With that, he got up and walked to his room.
Aisha stared at Ivan with his cheeks on the side, and his expression was ...... Well, even if she didn't say anything, her doubts were written in her twinkling eyes. Ivan gave her a helpless look.
"Rest early. It really doesn't matter that 'they' met a strange Feather Clan. ”
Ivan lowered his voice. Carlo usually doesn't eavesdrop, and the little wild cat who loves to eavesdrop has been captured by Xiulin, and it shouldn't matter what secrets to talk about at this time, "I want to ask Miss Xue Ling if she knows that Yu clan, that's all, didn't Miss Xue Ling say that she has a lot of power in the city?"
"What kind of feather clan is the weird feather clan?" said Aisha with a puzzled expression.
"Hmm...... I don't know what to say, it seems that there is something wrong with the brain, and 'they' are worried that something will happen if they send that feather clan back. Ivan glanced at the doorway and sighed quietly. He really didn't want to comment on anyone who had "a problem with their brains", but he didn't know how to describe Miss Freya Wind Spirit other than that.
"'They' are more cautious, and I think I should be cautious, because Miss Xue Ling knows about them anyway. He said again.
"Well, well, let Miss Shelling help them. Aisha still didn't seem to have some questions, "Did you just meet a problematic Feather Clan, is that Feather Clan at Mr. Blanche's house?"
When the surname "Blanche" was mentioned, Aisha didn't make a sound, and Ivan could read the shape of her mouth.
"I wanted Miss Sheling to go to the lake in the evening, and she didn't know when she would be back. Forget it, I'll talk to her after dawn. Ivan shook his head. He's been busy since he came to Alcatia City. After running all the way and walking so far in the afternoon, listening to an inexplicable madman shouting, and when he came back, he was busy making cakes, and Ivan was tired enough. Even if Daphne came back now, he couldn't let Daphne go to Bard and them in the middle of the night, and he still had to wait until dawn.
"Is it okay?" Aisha blinked vigorously, probably sleepy as well.
"It doesn't matter. Ivan said, getting up and walking to the open window. Now that everyone has decided to go to bed, it's not good to leave the restaurant window open. Just then, he heard hurried footsteps outside the window.
"Who?"
The man in the shade of the tree stopped, as if to straighten his clothes, and quickly walked back. The bright light in the dining room reflected her elegant light purple dress, light purple hat and neat silver-gray bangs under the hat, and a pair of ear feathers hanging from the sides of her short silver-gray hair, symbolizing her feather clan identity.
"I'm sorry to disturb the guests, I'm a maid here. The maid of the Feather Clan apologized resignedly.
"Well, we don't need help with anything?" Aisha hurried over. In the afternoon, while carrying the purchases, Carlo asked the servants to drop off the cable car, and then let the servants all go back. Didn't you already say that you don't need to be taken care of by a servant?
"It's me who has a lot of trouble, so I invite the guests to rest early. The maid bowed and pushed her hand up against the window.
Aisha suddenly realized.
So that's the case, it's already the middle of the night, and the windows are still wide open, so presumably the servants will not be at ease. Aisha couldn't help but smile apologetically at the maid.
"Ah, it's okay, we'll close all the doors and windows, and we'll go to rest." ”
