After dinner, go back to work. Miss Hana asks Rick to go to the backyard to dig up the bulbs of the Diku grass she planted earlier. Sick wanted to go back to his room to get his thick coat, but Miss Hana glared at him and said coldly, "You will go back like Little Horn, and you won't go downstairs!

Rick shivered in the cold wind. Hana didn't send him during the day, and only called him to the backyard when the sun went down. There is no light here at night, and he can't see anything. If this continues, he will soon be really like Xiao Horn. He walked two steps in the snow, and felt that it was really impossible to go on like this, so he drew his sacrificial knife. He couldn't find an offering here, so he poked his finger with the tip of his knife to poke out a little blood. This spell does not require a large number of sacrifices.

He said in Soni: "Emerge from the crater and come down to me with a flame cut off by ice. 」

The head and tail of this spell were originally a heat attack spell, and Xi Ke added a cold defense spell in the middle, and the combined effect was quite satisfying. All of a sudden, the surroundings of Syk felt as warm as if they were soaking in hot water.

Rick exhaled, sweating if he stayed in this state for too long. He used the remaining spell energy to cast another spell: "Light. 」

The tip of the sacrificial knife lit up, and a small ball of light appeared, illuminating the dark backyard. It was only then that Syk saw the pond next to his feet, and he almost fell into it. That's going to turn into a second little horn on the spot.

He first dug a hole in the ground and buried the two blue-threaded frogs in hibernation. Then he turned his light and found the Diku grass that Hana had said.

The ground was frozen and hard, and the little shovel Hana gave him couldn't handle it, so he had to dig with a sacrificial knife. The light on the tip of the knife was extinguished, and Nick dug up the bulbs and put them in a burlap bag by his hand.

When he was digging, he had a strange feeling, and he always felt that he had touched the uneven surface of the bulb, which seemed to be more than normal deformation. He went back into the house and opened the sack by the light.

It was hard to see that the bulbs had all grown into human faces! their mouths were wide open, their faces crumpled together, and they seemed to be screaming in pain. He remembered that Diku grass was a perennial herb that withered its leaves in the winter, leaving only the bulbs buried in the soil for the winter. Take advantage of this time to dig it out as medicine, the effect is the best. The bulb has a smooth, roughly spherical shape, and occasionally deformed, but it will never grow into a human face!

Nick immediately tightened the mouth of the sack. Carry this bag of Diku grass pretending to be a head grass back to the studio. Originally, Hana asked him to chop up the bulbs when he returned, but looking at the strange appearance of the bulbs, Xike was not sure if there would be some kind of after-effects of obeying the order.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

He tossed the bag on the workbench and walked through the door to Hanna's break room to find that Hana was not in her break room. So he walked on, to the door where Hana's lounge and the external office met.

He stopped in front of the door. He heard voices coming from the other side of the door.

One was Hana's voice, and the other was a man's voice that Syk hadn't heard before. This person's voice is very strange, the vocal range is male, yes, but the way of vocalization is like that of a woman, and the voice will fluctuate.

The sound of "puff puff" slapping on the pillow made Crick feel like the person was a woman.

"I can't take this anymore!" the deep voice clenched his throat, "how long will it take?"

Hana's voice came, "Be patient, sir. It's not easy to do this kind of thing. The part about the cost needs to—"

The truth is revealed. Those weird spell materials are the result of Hanna's floating expenses, and she's now the one who is scamming her financier.

Nick turned back to the studio, opened the sack, and decided to cut the variants to pieces. So when Hana casts a spell and wants to use it, she won't know that this thing once had a human face!

Although Xi Ke had already made up his mind, the actual use of the knife still made him hesitate. He wore thick leather gloves to prevent them from biting like a head grass. Hold the kitchen knife tightly and cut it with one knife.

Instead of a slashing sound like "pop", he heard "Ahhhh Moaned.

This thing doesn't bite, it makes waves!

Vick resisted the urge to escape, and stabbed again, and the moans rang out again. Rick sped up to solve the problem quickly, but the studio was filled with unbearable sounds. Luckily, the walls are thick enough that no one outside should be able to hear them.

Slowly, he found that the direction and weight of the knife would affect the sound, so he began to try different cuts. Cut into chunks, slice thinly, and study the reaction of this bulb. If they are cut to extreme pieces, these bulbs will no longer make a sound.

Focused on observing the mutants, Rick didn't notice someone coming until the door in the studio opened to the backyard.

The visitor walked into the room, closed the door silently with a gentle movement, and then took off the thick hat, revealing a small but delicate face, and long silky and shiny hair. The petite woman in front of him was about eighteen years old, standing elegantly and wearing a very expensive fluffy coat. If Rick looked like an intruder on the mansion, he knew at a glance that he was from the owner's family.

The makeup on her face is appropriate, and she is holding a clutch, with a ladylike demeanor. But there was a restless glint in her eyes, suggesting that she was not the girl she looked so obedient.

The woman seemed a little surprised to see Rick here, and then asked, "Where's the little horn?"

"He's dead. Rick replied in a tone of utter renunciation.

"Didn't he sleep all night reading? 」

"That's not the reason. 」

"Forget it, can you tell him to come to me when it's convenient? 」

"Well, it's inconvenient for me to talk to him. I don't think it's convenient for him to go to you. 」

The woman named Gino said, "Don't pay attention to Hanna's commands. 」

"That's not why. Rick really didn't know how to make Gino understand Horn's situation, "He's not going to show up here anyway. Xi Ke said, and the knife in his hand slashed at the bulb again.

Hearing that voice, Gino's face turned red all at once. At the same time, the door to the backyard was violently opened, so to speak. Varu rushed in angrily, pounced directly on Syke, and swung his fist over, "What are you doing to Miss?"

Looking at Varu's frame, he should have practiced martial arts, but Xike has more combat experience than him, and his reflex action dodged sideways, and then grabbed Waru's hand with one hand and pulled it forward, and pushed him behind his back with the other. The two of them spun around like this, and Varu was pressed to the work table by Syke, and his hands were bent behind his back.

Xi Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he threw down the knife in the first place. Varu didn't want to kill him, but he almost reflexively killed him.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Syk couldn't pick a position, and Varu was pressed by him on the bulb of Diku grass, which he had slashed. The bulb cracked open and made a loud "ah-hmm" sound.

"I didn't do anything. Rick said. Now Varu should understand.

Xi Ke carefully let go of his hand and took two steps back. Varu straightened up and straightened his clothes, glaring at Syke, but didn't seem to mean to do anything more.

Gino said to Varu, "I knew you were going to be angry, that's why I told you to wait outside. 」

"This is the mage's lair, it's dangerous, I can't wait. I still insist that you shouldn't come here. Varu said. When he says the word "mage", he speaks in a similar tone as "pervert" and "robber".

"But I haven't seen the speaker in four days!" Gino said. She turned to Rick and said, "Please help me tell Horn that I'm looking for him. 」

Then Gino led Valu out, as if a huntress were leading a good hound.

Rick scratched his head, picked up the knife and continued to cut the bulbs.

He can't talk to the little horn.

The Staff of Light has a limit on the working hours of mages, so as to prevent older mages from oppressing new mages, resulting in young people not having time to further their studies, which hinders the cultivation of talents for the next generation. If you break the rules and squeeze a mage, the punishment for the Staff of Light is quite severe. Even if Hana was unwilling, she could only let Xike get off work on time.

Hannah let him go off work and said, "Get back to your stinking nest for me." Don't sneak around!"

Xike only moved in today, and the smell of the nest was not caused by him. Syk has no respect for Hana and doesn't intend to listen to her.

In the Dark Academy, patrolling one's own territory every day is a matter of life. He was always thinking about how to get rid of his classmates, and his classmates were all bent on getting rid of him. After the destruction of the Order of the Night, he was once wanted by the whole country and must flee the wilderness to escape the Staff of Light and the Shield of Holiness. He couldn't feel at ease without knowing what kind of place he lived.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

So after work, Xike sneakily walked around the house. These candles really get weirder the more you look at them. Xi Ke estimated that there should be hundreds of candles on the entire first floor, just ordinary candles. This kind of rich family should be able to afford a magic lamp. Even ordinary people have electric lights in many homes, but candles are used here. Otherwise, the Staff of Light also has certified magic smokeless candles, which have no fire risk and are not easy to extinguish.

In his pocket was the receipt he had picked up today. Later, he turned the paper to the back and saw a lot of expensive equipment for professional magic laboratories, such as "rainbow separators" and "tooth-tongue cutters". But in Hana's studio, he didn't see any of them.

Those equipment can make the work a lot easier, since Hana has been deceived by the owner of the money to buy, weishenme is not placed in the studio? Hanna's studio only has basic and primitive equipment, which is as strange as the candle lighting here.

As he walked, he drew a floor plan of the mansion in his head. The structure of the first floor is very strange, like a labyrinth, the space is cut into quite fragments, and many rooms are crooked in the shape of six or seven angles, which cannot be used at all, and can only be used to put miscellaneous items. Above the second floor was the banquet hall and the host's room, and he could not go up.

Rick turned and turned, and turned and turned, and he was dizzy when he turned his head.

He wandered down the hallway, running into no one except for the occasional maid hurrying by. They didn't question what Rick was doing, they just looked at him coldly.

Until he was in a long hallway and ran into the girl who had come to the studio earlier. Probably because the light is too dark, and her dress is different, she doesn't seem to be the same as before. Now that she is in the house, instead of wearing a heavy coat, she wears a floor-length dress embroidered with pink roses, the fabric is very thin, and the beautiful curves of her figure are drawn. She felt a little tense now, as if she had a nervous aura that she didn't have before, and a little less sharpness.

She was startled when she saw Rick, she shrank obviously, and then put on a defensive posture to glare at Rick, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

I don't know weishenme, probably because Xi Ke's personality is not haode, he will want to choke the other party when he is seen like this: "You are, what are you dressed up for so late?

As soon as he said this, the girl's face suddenly turned red. This blush is different from the daytime, it is not red because of external stimulation, it is red because of the heart, from the inside out, so the red is more thorough. Rick was right.

This time he was embarrassed, he didn't say these words to see the other party shy. He quickly changed to a humble tone and said, "I'm Syk Trigg, the mage's assistant hired by Miss Hanna. I just arrived today. We've met earlier, right?"

"No, I haven't seen you. I am the eldest daughter of this family, Leno. The girl evened out her breath, straightened her back, and said to Rick, "You must have seen my sister. She's been going to the mage's studio lately, and everyone is talking about it. 」

"Uh-you guys all think it's terrible there?"

"It's rotten, it's rotten, it's a cancer in this house! You'd better be a little conscious, people here don't welcome you!" Lino's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

It turns out that his poor dinner was not just caused by Valu!Nick asked in a fit of great grief, "Can you dispose of the corpse of the little horn on your behalf?" Since she is the daughter of the owner of the house, there should be a way to deal with the situation.

"Weishenme I'm going to help him deal with it, and I'm not one of his people!" Lino raised his eyebrows. She seems to be mistaken for someone like Xiao Horn's wife or future wife, who should help her other half deal with the aftermath, so she is very angry.

Tick craned his neck to listen to her scolding.

"You'd better not touch the candles, if your mother gets angry, Hana won't be able to save you, just wait to be swept away!"

After saying that, she shook her head and left. Of course, Rick didn't catch up, lest he be kicked out of the house sooner.
