Chapter 559 [Are You Coming to Kill Me?]

The same corridor, the same courtyard, the same light bypass the magic arrays hidden in the shadows.

Chen Daolin seems to have re-experienced the old incident of breaking into the tulip castle at night with that guy from Chishui last time.

And like Chishui, Dean Carmen is also very familiar with the layout and location of the Tulip Family Castle, where is it, where to turn, which road leads to what, which door is behind what, there is no need for Chen Daolin to remind him, Carmen seems to walk in front very casually, without saying a word, but it is like strolling in the back garden of the Academy of Magic.

Chen Daolin was slightly surprised at first, and then he was relieved. After all, this beautiful dean is a member of the Tulip family, and she can be in charge of Hogwarts House, so she naturally has a deep relationship with the Tulip family, and I heard that she had such an unclear ** scandal with the previous old duke when she was young, think about it, she must have been to this Tulip Family Castle more than once......

Walk up the side stairs of the wing buildings of the castle, and then pass through a sky corridor connecting the main castle and the wing buildings, and enter the main castle building of the castle so easily.

What surprised Chen Daolin was that he hadn't walked this road last time, and it was ...... Along the way, there are no guards on the road here?!

"There have never been guards here. Carmen seemed to see the surprise on Chen Daolin's face, and said casually: "The door we entered before has a magic array, and I wear it...... A token he gave me back then, I could pass through the magic circle without setting off an alarm. In fact...... In this castle, more than a certain number of floors, ordinary guards will not come in to patrol, unless something is called by the head of the house, the guards will only patrol the outside and the next few floors. The Tulip family is very confident. Every generation of dukes is a top master, where do they need any guards to protect, and some of the forbidden places in the family also have powerful magic arrays, even if someone can break in, they won't be able to get benefits. ”

Chen Daolin nodded, then frowned and said, "Then we ......"

"At this time, if you guess correctly, as a duke, you must be in the study. Well, it should be on the top floor. ”

Chen Daolin noticed that although Carmen's face seemed to be light, her fingers were already clenched!

The spiral staircase goes all the way up, and it looks as if the road is endless and endless. But Carmen's breathing became heavier and heavier as her steps became slower and slower, and there was a trace of solemnity in her eyes. It's getting thicker and thicker!

......

"Alright, let's get out. ”

Du Wei glanced at the food sent by the servant, only glanced at it, and waved his hand.

It was her personal maid who brought the food. It's about an old man who has been following Du Weiwei for a long time. Seeing that he was about forty years old, he was already gone, but his bearing was very calm, although he saw Du waving his hand slightly. But instead of retreating, he took a step forward and said slowly in a very gentle but calm voice: "Miss." You've been eating so little these days. I only had one meal today, and it's already midnight......"

Du raised his head slightly, glanced at the middle-aged maid, and suddenly smiled: "Now in the family, only you will call me Miss." Even the chief of the guard is used to calling me Lord Duke. ”

"You are a duke in front of thousands of people, but at home, you are always a lady. If you do too much and too long as a duke, people's hearts will be very tired. The middle-aged maid smiled: "That's what the old man once said." ”

"My father...... That's right. Du sighed slightly, she glanced at the food on the table again, then picked up a bowl of soup, blew the hot air, and drank it slowly.

The middle-aged maid's eyes showed a hint of a smile, and said with a smile: "If you still like to drink, I'll go ...... again"

"No need, just a bowl of soup to warm my stomach, I don't have much appetite right now. Du Wei smiled, glanced at the middle-aged maid again, and suddenly frowned: "Actually...... You really don't have to come to serve me again, I brought you back this time because I thought it would be too chaotic outside and safer at home. You've been serving our family all your life, and it's always time to enjoy it. ”

"It's comfortable now. The middle-aged maid smiled: "These days when I came back, I was always a little unaccustomed to living in the beginning, but let me do these things, let me serve you, I feel more at ease." ”

"Alas...... With your age and seniority in the family, it is always more than enough to be a steward, and I don't think the butler would mind letting you do something for him, so why would you put on the clothes of this maid again?"

"Just ask for peace of mind. The middle-aged maid shook her head: "Actually, even if I am wearing this dress, no one in this family dares to really treat me as an ordinary maid." It was only in front of you that I felt like I was serving my lord at home...... Everyone in this family treats me as a nobleman, and it is only in your presence that I regain my duty to serve others. ”

"Well, just like I was in front of you, I have always been the eldest lady?" Du Wei smiled: "That's it, people always want to keep some old things on their bodies." That's good, too. ”

"It's just peace of mind. The middle-aged maid: "I have been living elsewhere, this time the grassland people came in, you sent someone to pick me up as soon as possible, I heard that the place where I live has been burned by the grassland people." I know that you are nostalgic for the old days, and you are thinking about us old people. But I'm always not sure. ”

Du Weiwei's still gentle face suddenly became aggressive, and she narrowed her eyes: "Yes...... What did someone say to you?"

"There's nothing unpleasant about it. The middle-aged maid shook her head: "I know...... My husband and son were all over there, and when I heard that they had taken refuge with a new master and had done a lot of things, all of which had caused trouble for the family, I was always a little apprehensive in my heart. ”

"Nothing upset. Du shook his head slightly: "It stands to reason that you are already a baroness, although Baron Pierre is helping Darling Chen, but after all, Darling Chen is not the enemy of the family...... Some people below like to talk nonsense, it seems that the rules are a little lax, and they must be rectified well. ”

The middle-aged maid hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "If you need it, I ...... I can go for a trip. That old thing was a little confused, though. But I can still listen to some of it, and if I go and talk to him, maybe I can get him to join the family......"

"There's no need for that. Du Wei smiled: "They are doing a good job there, I have heard that even your son Borromil is much more advanced than before." Don't worry, they are not the enemies of the family, and the current situation is always a little complicated, so I won't talk to you more. ”

There was a pause. Du Weiwei said slowly: "You are the one who served my father, you are the old man in the family, the Tulip family has never treated the old man badly, and this tradition of the family will never be forgotten." Relax, don't take the rumors to heart. Well...... In the future, I will let you be responsible for my daily life, I remember my father said that the soup you made is delicious, and I hope I have my father's blessing. ”

The middle-aged maid bowed, then cleaned up the things on the table and slowly withdrew.

Du Wei sat for a while. She seemed to think for a moment, then she gently shook a rope bell on the table, and soon a well-dressed butler knocked on the door and walked in.

"Some of the people in the family. It's time to teach the rules well. Tongue chewing is not a tulip tradition. Although the family has its own people, it is not possible to only have grace and no threat, you can deal with it. Du Wei looked at a letter on the table, and said quickly without raising his head. Then he paused: "From today onwards, let Baroness Pierre take care of my daily life and diet." ”

"Yes. ”

The calm-faced butler bowed and withdrew. Before leaving, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

Du Weiwei stood up, slowly walked to the wall, and then gently pulled a certain rope, and a huge sheepskin scroll that was originally rolled on the wall fell, and it was a huge picture on it.

If you look closely, you will see that it is actually a bird's-eye view of the Tulip Castle!

There are many points of light on it, some deep and some shallow, some still and some moving slowly......

Suddenly, Du Weiwei's eyes froze, staring at a certain place above, and a strange sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

......

"I know you have a lot to say, but now is not the time to speak. As Carmen walked, she warned Chen Daolin: "After tonight, if there is a chance, I will satisfy your curiosity, but ...... Since you've come with me, I hope you won't let me down for a while!"

Chen Daolin's complexion was a little helpless.

Suddenly, the lights on both sides of the staircase suddenly turned on, and then, as if controlled by some force, the candles on both sides, as the two of them went up step by step, the candles on both sides were extinguished one by one!

This change made Chen Daolin's eyes change, but Carmen next to him sneered: "What are you surprised...... We were discovered. ”

"Huh?"

"What's so strange about that. Carmen shook her head: "This is the Tulip Family, even if we are the Holy Order, there is a profound magic array here that can spy on our infiltration." Why don't you think you really naively think that we can go all the way to her without anyone noticing. To be able to come here and be found out has exceeded my expectations. ”

At this time, on the wall on the side, there was originally an oil painting, and the content of the oil painting was a noble lady who was in the green, and the noble lady in the painting was originally a profile portrait, but at this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth, as if she came to life, and spit out a voice.

"Which two are visiting late at night? Darling Chen, are you here?"

This is exactly Du Weiwei's voice!

Chen Daolin's face changed suddenly-it was not that he was afraid, but as soon as he heard Du Weiwei's voice, he couldn't help himself...... Guilty.

Carmen's expression remained unchanged, and she said slowly: "Well, Darling Chen, and me." ”

The noble lady in the painting was silent for a while, and then Du Weiwei's voice came again: "It's the dean's arrival, since they are all here...... Then please come up, and I will wait in the study. You know where. ”

Carmen smiled faintly and continued to walk up.

All the way up the stairs, there were no guards to stop them.

It was not as Chen Daolin thought: a large number of Tulip family guards armed to the teeth swarmed in......

The stairs and corridors were silent, with a thick carpet underfoot, almost silent when you walked up.

Even when he came to the corridor, there was an old butler in a dress standing on the side, walking past the two, as if he was blind, but when the corner of his eye swept to Carmen, the old butler sighed softly, but walked down the stairs without looking back.

He ...... Can I see you?" Chen Daolin was a little surprised.

"Do you think that the one who can be the big butler in the Tulip family will be an ordinary person?" Carmen said lightly: "I know him, with his ability, being a professor in the academy is more than enough, and in some magical fields, even the other branch deans may not be stronger than him." ”

At the end of the corridor, of course, was the study, and before the two of them could walk in front of them, the two thick doors would open automatically.

The study was naturally huge, but as the door opened, all the qiē inside was exposed to Chen Daolin's eyes.

In the deepest part of the study, in front of a window, Du Weiwei sat quietly behind a huge desk, playing with a thin dagger in his hand, and a smile seemed to be smiling on his beautiful face.

Behind him, the heavy door closed silently.

Du Weiwei did not stand up, but continued to sit there, gently closed a file in front of him in his hand, sighed long, and then said slowly:

"Two ...... I'm here to be a lobbyist...... Or are you here to kill me?"
