Chapter 15: The Falling Intruder

Syk gets his mountain of food from the kitchen. When he had eaten his fill, he thought that he should tell Valu what he had discovered, and he also wanted to know what happened to Miss Lino.

He ran to ask the maid. The maid said that Varu was on vacation today, and they didn't know where he was. Nick didn't want to go to Gino, so he went back to the attic and took out the round steel mirror.

He peeked again at the place where the fluff had been placed. After such a long time, most of the lint was swept away by the diligent servants, and the picture was black, and the shape of the garbage could be faintly seen. There are also those that are too far away from the mirror and lose their effect. One was lying in the corner of the third floor and was not found, but it was swept into the dustpan just as he watched.

There was not a single lint left in the banquet hall on the second floor, and as a result, Xi Ke can imagine that the place must have been particularly clean. There are still some remnants on the first floor, one stuck on the curtains, one stuck on the broom, and the view is very poor. Xike looked at Hana's lounge again and found that she was still reading a novel, this time drinking a fat-burning drink.

Rick turned to the hallway next to the backyard and saw through the large window that there were intruders in the backyard.

Two figures emerge on the dense brick wall that surrounds the backyard and enter the backyard through the wall. He had seen them when he had washed his face with water from the hot fountain, and he knew these two men.

The man in front of him was two years older than Xi Ke, his body was thin, but he had more flesh than Xi Ke, and the whole person looked like a living person than Xi Ke. Rick is like a walking skeleton, and he is like a willow tree.

He wears an exaggerated boat-shaped hat with gold rimmed red background, which is one-third larger than a normal boat-shaped cap, and is inserted with ostrich feathers. He has shoulder-length brown hair that is very straight, carefully trimmed to bring out a flowing feeling. There are a pair of bizarre and slender eyebrows under the bangs, and the shape of the eyes is also long, like a fox. He wore a mage robe made of smooth and shiny fabric, with layers of lace on the cuffs and chest, and a ribbon around his neck. Coupled with a large ankle-length embroidered cape, this outfit couldn't be more conspicuous.

The girl next to him appeared to be about sixteen years old, wearing a fluffy puffer jacket on the top, red hot pants and snow boots on the bottom, and her legs were wrapped in stockings disguised as suspenders with prints, which made her look even more slender. She had long, jet-black hair with long wavy waves that rose and fell to her waist. A pair of deep purple eyes like a deep pool that can reflect the moon, as well as natural, long, curled eyelashes, and a ruddy cherry mouth with a nonchalant smile, make her face delicate and gorgeous. From the small hole in the back of the shorts protruded a long tail, longer than her legs, covered with shiny black hairs that could be held with one hand.

The man's name was Namo, and the maiden was his messenger, Marisna.

Nemo was a roommate of Syke's roommate in the Dark Academy, and after the two of them obtained the status of a good citizen, he did not embark on the path of a good citizen who was far from his ideal like Syke, but went to the edge of crime. He roams the black market for spells, buying and selling magic-related goods that are not available through normal channels, or that are difficult to obtain a license for.

Lisna's breed is a charmer, a type of demon. The demon is able to adapt to any temperature, so the coat on her body is just a decoration, and her legs are not wrapped in layers and will not lose temperature.

Rick put away the mirror and headed straight for the backyard.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It seems that Xi Ke's image in the house is weird, and weirdness is not strange in his behavior, so no one cares if he runs wild in the house. He ran all the way to the door leading to the backyard, and when he was about to open the door, the lock was automatically lifted, and the doorknob turned with a "kera", and Namo opened the door from the outside.

The two faced each other, less than a meter apart. Nemo reflexively raised his right hand and released a cloud of energy. In his right hand he held his sacrificial sword, the handle of which was carved by a group of demons trampling on each other, and the blade was wavy and exaggerated. The energy distorted the light slightly, slashing at Rick from the tip of his knife.

When the door lock made a sound, Xi Ke's hand touched the sacrificial knife, and he pulled out the sacrificial knife and slashed it from the bottom to the top, directly slashing the energy open. The improvised energy ball was not strong in the first place, and the energy of the collapse immediately dissipated in the air.

The two men each faced each other with sacrificial knives, and Lisina hid behind Naimo and poked out to see.

After five seconds, Namo's tight eyebrows relaxed, and he provoked, "Is it me?"

"Or what?" asked Rick, lowering his eyebrows.

"I thought it was the defensive magic of this room, extracting your image from my memory to scare me. Namo shrugged and stepped forward to bypass Rick, "Borrowed." 」

"Stop. Rick stepped to the side and stopped Namo, "What are you doing here?"

"Weishenme is trying to stop me?ah, are you the family mage here?" Naimo's eyes widened, his head tilted back, his neck shrunk, he inhaled and straightened his chest, and said in a very exaggerated tone of surprise.

Rick perfectly understood his weishenme surprise. He put the sacrificial knife into his sheath, crossed his hands on his chest, and replied coldly, "No. 」

"yes, those protective spells are so turtle-footed, and there are so many loopholes, they don't look like yours. Namo grinned and stepped forward.

Xike stood still, unwilling to get out of the way: "Tell me first, what are you doing here? You're not here to catch up, are you? That's not your style. 」

"Well, it's a trade secret. Unless you want to work with me, keep it confidential. Are you short of money?" Namo pretended to frown sincerely, but his eyes kept blinking, staring at Xi Ke's tattered mage robes.

Knowing that he was poor and sour, he lowered his chin slightly, and said, "I am not sensitive to your invitation. 」

At this time, a maid came over, and Namo was so exaggerated in her dress, of course she saw Namo at once, and stared at him with her mouth open. Namo glanced at her location and threw a hypnotic spell.

Rick hurried over and held the maid before she fell. He placed the maid Haode by the wall, and by this time Naimo had already entered the house.

"What do you want to steal?" Rick asked, "Anyway, I'm an employee here, and I'm in trouble if you make trouble here." 」

"Well, it's going to be gone soon, anyway, so there's no need to worry so much. Naimo waved his hand, and his long sleeves flicked with it, so he put on a more energetic position: "The thing I want doesn't exist at all, even if it's less, it won't call the police, and it won't be fine!"

If you can't let others know what you have, of course you won't call the police if you lose it. Cheek closed his mouth, inhaled through his nose, and said, "If you're going to spread the explosion, I can't allow it. 」

"Huh, you know?" Namo's eyes lit up.

Namo wanted the spell that had made the land explode. It doesn't matter if the Staff of Light wants to, they will control it, and they won't blow themselves up with that information, and it will be different if it goes to the black market!

"Really!" Crick growled. He stood up from a crouching position and took a big step towards Namo. Nemo raised his sacrificial knife vigilantly.

Lisna lay on Namo's back, hooked her fingers in his hair, rubbed her cheek against his back, and said, "Master, if you don't want to be beaten into a pig's head, you have to run away quickly. 」

"But this guy has a clue—" Namo groaned.

"The master will be a perfect sandbag if he is caught by Lord Xike without being beaten. Lisina whispered in his ear with her face close to Namo's.

"I don't have to—" Before Nemo could finish speaking, Rick pounced on Naimo. Originally, this assault would have caught Namo and snatched his sacrificial knife, but Lisina immediately kicked Namo behind his knee. Nemo bent his knees and knelt down, and Syco's hand fell short.

Almost at the same time as Lisina's kick, the two of them began to sink into the floor. The floor didn't look like anything out of the ordinary, but they dived into it as if it were a body of water. Before Nick could catch Namo, the two disappeared.

"Tsk. Rick stomped his foot on the solid floor.

The muffled voices of Naimo and Lisna came from under the floor, "You can't catch Uncle Ben - haha - there will be holes in places like Weishenme—" Nemo's voice slowly moved away, and Zuihou came up with Lisna's sweet voice for a moment, and said in a joyful and high tone, "The master is a fool—"

Rick stood there for a moment, staring at the floor. Naimo's fate made Syck think of what happened to the big hole that was blown up here at the beginning? He didn't see the stairs to the basement, did this mean that it was filled in? Or did it still remain? With the current level of architecture, it is not impossible to build a house on top of a big hole, but it is just a matter of sprinkling money, which is not a problem for this family.

Syk turned back to Varu, but he wasn't in the house. Thinking about it, it was rare to have a holiday, and he didn't want to stay in this hellish house, and he could understand that Varu Weishenme had run away without a trace.

Nick had no money to travel, no friends to visit, no place for him to escape the house and its secrets for a while. He had to keep thinking about it.

There was a large hole in the bottom of the house, causing Namo to fall after using the wall-piercing technique to penetrate the floor.

The bulb of Diku grass, which was treated as a pervert before, was only hidden in the secret door, and did not use the space folding spell. Xi Ke didn't think that Hana could use the delicate spell of space folding, nor did he think that in this kind of polluted land, he could use the space fold spell normally. It's good that it didn't explode early.

Judging from the fact that Hana didn't go out to visit friends on holidays, this person didn't have any other shelter, so there should be a large enough space nearby to put some equipment.

It could be underground. In this way, it can be explained that Rick's third eye can't see underground.

There is a little horn in this room, and the little horn is not strictly Hana's eagle dog. He gets a salary from Hana, but he has a relationship with Miss Gino in private. Hana probably added an anti-snooping spell in the basement to prevent the alliance of Little Horn and Gino.

He thought that there should be a way to open the door to the basement using physical conditions. Although portals are convenient and flashy, just like a building with a magic ladder will have a staircase made of ordinary stairs, there must be a normal physical door. Only lichs and ghosts don't need the usual method of passage.

Xi Ke crouched in the hallway while thinking and basking in the afternoon sun. As far as he could see, every candle was lit on the first floor.

Rick woke the maid up and made sure there were no after-effects, but her head would be foggy for a while. Sleep causes her to forget a short period of time before she falls asleep, and therefore does not remember Nemo. After waking up, unless you are greatly stimulated, the memory will naturally leak out. Rick ran away before she was fully conscious, so as not to be remembered and explained.

Rick left the house and went out into the street.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Seren went to visit her grandmother again today, and by the way, she bought a large bag of daily necessities. He carried the things to her house and put them in the designated place one by one. During this period, the grandmother made tea and waited for him to make it.

On this day, the grandmother had a friend from the younger generation visiting, and her friend said a lot of things, and Serian also used some words to guide the direction of the conversation, so it was closer to the core.

"That Hana, the first time I saw her, I didn't think it was a good thing. Youlan was just unhappy, her husband loved her very much, and she could still get by. Since Hana came, she has been arguing with her husband all day long smashing dishes and chairs, and the whole family is no longer talking. Later, her husband couldn't help but beat her. It is said that Hana has nothing to do with her attitude, I think it was Hana who provoked it!

"Once when the police came to the door, their relatives persuaded them to divorce, and the agreement was all taken, but she was persuaded by Hana to forget it. I think Hana is afraid that if she gets divorced, she won't have the money to cheat her!"

Seren, nodded silently.
