Chapter 512: Boss, the dog thief has found it
"Miss, Miss Zora has come to visit."
The dignified maid stood in the corridor on the second floor with her hands on her lower abdomen, her head bowed respectfully, and a soft smile on her face.
She stood in the doorway of the room, her smiling eyes revealing a palpable concern.
Inside, Miss Leah was sitting on a large, soft bed.
She was propped up with one leg slightly bent and the other leg lying flat on the bed.
Leaning forward slightly, his hands around the raised calf, his forehead touching his knee.
Leah wore only a light shirt with a slightly open neckline, which was extremely messy.
Large swaths of fair skin were exposed to the air, but she didn't seem to care about her image.
Even his eyes were hollow, staring at the sheets in a daze.
The whole person is depressed and has no vitality.
Hearing the maid's news, Liya only nodded slightly, but the movements were so subtle that they were barely noticeable.
The maid looked at Leah's listless appearance and was full of worry.
Ever since the disappearance of the head of the Victor family, Leah has been like a different person, for a whole week.
Except for the necessary diet and washing, she spends most of her time in bed, or sitting in a daze.
All the maids in the house could not understand.
I don't know what happened in the past half a year that made Miss Leah's attitude towards the head of the Victor family change so quickly.
Obviously, Miss Lia hated the head of the Victor family so much in the past that she even wanted to replace him.
However, after Victor disappeared, Leah became the most affected.
I didn't even eat or drink for a few days when I came back.
If it weren't for the united persuasion of the maids, who insisted on maintaining their physical strength in order to find the head of the Victor family, maybe Leah really planned to starve herself to death.
As for Victor's disappearance, the maids who have been staying at home don't feel much.
After all, Victor is not often in Breston territory, and spends most of his time in the royal capital.
Almost all of the family's affairs are handled by Leah, who is technically more like the head of the Clayvenna family than Victor.
But now Leah is in a state of depression, and many of the guests who come to talk about business are turned away.
Every time she asked, Lia always responded with two words:
"Nope."
Sure enough, this time was no exception.
Hearing Leah's bland response, the maid couldn't help but sigh softly.
Usually, when Leah says no, the maid will leave her room.
Tell the guests that their young lady is not in good health and cannot see anyone.
But this time, the maid came prepared.
She stood at the door, cleared her throat, and said with a serious face:
"Miss Zola is back with Miss Leon."
Hearing this, the distracted Leah paused, her eyes gradually focused, and she glanced at the maid.
Seeing that the young lady finally reacted, the maid smiled, and clapped her hands lightly, revealing a playful smile;
"Need me help you get dressed?"
……
Lia, who had changed into a gorgeous outfit, walked briskly through the wooden corridor, and the bonsai branches and leaves passing by were slightly swayed by the wind driven by Lia.
A maid followed her, trotting to follow.
"Miss Leah! Miss Zola and Miss Leon are waiting for you in the lobby! ”
When Leah heard this, she gently turned sideways and walked gracefully down the tall staircase.
Soon, she tilted her gaze slightly and saw a special figure.
It was an elf with two long pointed ears.
She wore a dark mask that obscured half of her face, and stood quietly in a corner of the hall.
Although the mask obscured half of her face, the familiar costume and unique aura made Leah instantly recognize her.
It was Leon, who had been away for the Kingdom of Kanter for a month.
Seeing the elf girl in front of her, Liya felt that her eyes were a little itchy.
She finally saw a loved one again who could tell her heart.
But Liya didn't cry, just pursed the corners of her mouth and called softly:
"Leon."
A soft sound reached the elf's ears.
Leon turned her head to meet Leah's gaze.
Her emerald eyes gleamed with surprise in Leah's eyes.
Seeing the familiar owner, Leon was overjoyed.
It's just that her voice is very calm, with the same respect as usual.
"Miss Leah."
Leah hurried down the stairs and walked quickly to Leon, clasping her hands and looking her up and down.
Leah asked in an uncertain tone:
"You...... How did you get back? ”
Leon was sent by her to the Kingdom of Kanter to manage Shulben on behalf of Clavenna-
The territory where Victor was forced to accept the title of lord when he returned from the Kingdom of Canter.
There is also a goddaughter of Victor, whom Lea has never met.
At this time, when she thought of Victor, Leah's expression suddenly darkened a little.
"Miss Leon is back in my carriage."
At this moment, a soft and delicate voice suddenly sounded next to the two of them.
Leah turned to the source of the voice and saw the woman sitting on the couch in the corner of the hall, who was nodding gracefully to her.
Leah's eyes narrowed slightly, looking each other up and down.
In particular, the woman's overlapping slender snow-white legs caught Leah's attention.
Zola slowly stood up and bowed to Leah:
"Long time no see, Miss Leah."
Leah certainly remembered the eldest lady of the Casidra Chamber of Commerce, especially her trademark long legs.
And most importantly, Leah knows about Lipoot's relationship with the Casidra Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, her tone was a little cold:
"What are you going to do?"
She didn't have any good feelings about Zora in front of her.
In other words, she doesn't have much affection for Casidra's entire Chamber of Commerce.
Maintaining a bowed posture, Zola did not stand up straight, but replied respectfully:
"Rest assured, Miss Leah."
"We had no idea of the existence of the Rayser family until we worked with Mr. Victor"
"There is no connection to Lipoott either."
When Liya heard this, she clasped her hands to her chest, and the corners of her mouth barely pulled out a sneer:
"Heh, are you in a hurry to clear up the relationship now?"
"What's the use of you talking about that now?"
Only then did Zola slowly straighten up and say with a somewhat serious expression:
"I know that no amount of compensation can make up for Mr. Victor's disappearance."
Hearing this, Leah's face was still indifferent, and her eyes stared at Zola coldly.
But the next moment, Zola's words made Leah's eyes widen slightly:
"But...... When I asked Mr. Victor for help. ”
"Mr. Victor has told me about his possible whereabouts after the capture of Hermes."
……
Massive red pillars rose from the golden floor of the temple, supporting a large, curved hall surrounded by spirits gathered out of curiosity.
The huge writing desk was placed in the center of the hall, and it was stacked with all kinds of papers waiting for approval.
On both sides of the main hall, long curtains made of red silk are full.
They hung on the earth like long blood-colored rivers.
Behind the countless piles of papyrus, a huge giant fell on his desk and was scribbling.
The giant had a beard as broad as a woollen cloak, and his skin did not resemble that of a normal human, but a bluish mixture of clay.
The giant slowly stopped his pen and looked up, hidden behind the thick eyebrows was a pair of fierce red eyes of the incomparable Viani.
A large crowd of ghosts came one by one in front of the desk, waiting for the judgment of Hades.
"How did you die? Oh, you who were run over by a carriage, go and get reincarnated. ”
"How did you die? Beaten to death? Hahahaha, what a pathetic. ”
"How did you die? Killed? That person was killed by you just now? Well...... And those who have committed the most evil sins, go and be punished. ”
……
After a large number of ghosts were judged, the huge body of the Hades gently leaned back on the huge chair and sighed deeply:
"Ah...... It's really irritating. ”
Obviously, the gates of hell have been sealed for a long time, but there are still so many lonely souls wandering every day.
And as the lord of the underworld, he had to deal with these ghosts himself.
When he was done, he put one arm on his desk.
Holding his face, he pointed a finger on the table and pondered.
It's all to blame on the human some time ago who opened the entrance to the gates of hell again.
Otherwise, how could his work have become so onerous?
What made him even more angry was that the human had even stolen his dog.
Thinking of this, Hades' eyebrows were blown almost upright by the angry current, and he angrily slammed his fist on the sturdy writing desk.
There was a loud bang, which made a little ghost who happened to pass by tremble.
It shuddered and froze in place, momentarily at a loss.
Hades rubbed his temples, narrowed his eyes, and muttered a little tiredly:
"Isn't it already over, why come another one."
"Well, forget it."
He sighed softly, reopened the dusty notebook, and was about to record:
"Tell me how you died."
"Old ...... Boss, I'm not here to be reincarnated. ”
The little ghost trembled in response, its voice like a trembling leaf in the breeze, fragile and uneasy.
"Oh, it's you, there are a lot of ghosts lately, and I forgot about you."
Hades frowned, flipped his big hand, and closed the small book again.
He knew that this little ghost was a scavenger in the underworld.
They will often pick up objects left behind from the human world to the underworld and send them to the lowest level of the underworld, Tartarus.
So the Hades held his face, looked at it, sighed deeply, and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me, what did you pick up again?"
Usually those who come to him directly are obviously picking up something terrible.
Sure enough, the little ghost turned around and began to dig into his backpack.
Miscellaneous items were thrown all over the ground by it, and the Hades didn't bother to criticize, just watched quietly.
Then, with all his might, the little ghost pulled out a black trench coat from his backpack:
"Boss...... Look at this. ”
The little ghost used the strength to feed, and the ethereal features almost moved to the top of his head.
He held up the long trench coat in his hand, which covered its entire body, and handed it to the Hades.
The Hades looked at the trench coat that the little ghost had taken out, and the trench coat looked particularly gloomy in the faint light of the underworld.
He stared at it, lost in momentary contemplation.
Hiss...... How it feels, as if I've seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, as if he realized something, his red eyes widened.
The whole person stood up from his chair.
"What!?"
His voice echoed in the silence of the underworld, vibrating every inch of the cold air.
"Damn dog stealing human !!"
"How dare you come back!!"
