Richard and Brando waited for about an hour to see Anne come out of the manor, by which time it was completely dark.

Anne, who walked out of the manor, with a food box in her hand and no expression on her face, stepped on the wooden bench that the groom had placed on the ground and stepped into the carriage.

Richard, who had been waiting in the carriage for a while, reached out and tried to pick up the food box in Anne's hand to ease Anne's burden. But Anne didn't appreciate it, lifted the food box up, dodged Richard's hand, and went straight into the carriage.

Richard's hand stopped in mid-air and slowly retracted. Glancing at the food box that Anne was carrying, he noticed that it was swinging a little more than he expected—it meant that the weight of the food box was much lighter than before, and it was almost empty. In addition, he heard the faint sound of an object rolling in the food box, which seemed to be a cylinder, which reminded him of a scroll.

Without saying anything, he silently returned to the carriage and sat down with Brando, when Anne gave the groom the order, "Go home." ”

"Yes, Miss. The groom answered, picked up the wooden bench that had been placed on the ground, jumped into the carriage, and pulled the reins to steer the carriage towards the city.

"Gollum ......"

The carriage was moving along the undulating road, and Brando rolled his eyes, trying to find a topic to brush Anne's favorability: "Well, Miss Anne, what did you do before, can I know?"

In exchange for Anne's cold reply: "No, shut up!"

"Me. Brando's expression was sluggish, he didn't expect that the teacher was unfavorable, quite a blow, and hung his head and shut up like a defeated rooster.

Richard looked at it, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he scrutinized:

Anne's performance shows that she takes what she does in the manor very seriously and takes care of secrecy. Therefore, he will not let him and Brando follow, will not explain the reason, and will not describe the content.

So what really happened in the manor?

Anne went in with a food box, and when she returned, the food box became lighter, and it was not surprising that she gave the food inside to someone.

To put it simply, what Anne did when she came to the manor was to bring food to a person.

Who could this person be?

According to the information provided by the black-faced old man Oscar and his intelligence agencies, Anne, as the eldest daughter of the younger generation of the Pombo family, has a strong wizarding talent and has a high status in the Pombo family.

The person who can let Anne deliver the food herself is definitely a person of higher status, and he must be respected by Anne.

Such a person, at least Anne's parents, did not fit - Anne's relationship with her parents was extremely bad due to her childhood.

Pushing up, it was Anne's grandfather, great-grandfather's generation.

This reminded him of a person who had a great influence on the Pombo family and made the Pombo family truly become the overlord of St. Louis - the younger brother of the eighth head of the Pombo family - Aaron Pompo.

The other party became a third-level wizard fifty years ago, helping the Pombo family eliminate many strong enemies, and then disappeared from twenty years ago, and it is rumored that he tried to impact the realm of a fourth-level wizard, but he didn't know whether he would succeed or fail.

Could it be that Anne personally delivered the meal was Alan Pompo?

The other party is indeed qualified to let Anne deliver food, perhaps because Anne is pleasing to deliver food, so the other party will give Anne some help, such as the thing in the food box that is suspected to be a scroll.

Guess boldly, if the other party can give the scroll to Anne, will the other party have a similar scroll or book on hand?

Perhaps a large part of the Pombo family's precious scrolls and books are protected by each other's side.

The other party itself has the strength of a third-level wizard or even a fourth-level wizard, and there is a whole camp of demonic knights next to it, which can be described as foolproof.

Then the "Book of the Void" he was looking for had been settled.

It's just speculation at the moment, but once confirmed, his main goal of coming to St. Louis City will be accomplished.

During Richard's deliberations, the groom drove the carriage back to St. Louis and returned to the Pombo family's station.

With a "squeak", the carriage stopped in a courtyard, Anne stepped out of the carriage with a food box, looked at Richard and Brando who followed behind, and said, "I have a banquet at home today, I am very safe, and I don't need your protection."

So you don't have to follow me, just go back and rest. The resting place is near the courtyard where I live, and if you can't find it, ask my maid. I'll call you tomorrow when I have something. But it's not too early, because I'm used to sleeping until the afternoon, that's all. ”

Anne waved her hand, and with the other hand holding the food box, she walked away without looking back.

Richard and Brando stepped out of the carriage behind them, glanced at each other, and looked in the direction of the courtyard where Anne lived.

......

About twenty minutes later.

Richard and Brando found a room to rest in—as Anne had said, near the courtyard where she lived, and in good condition, one room per person. There are all kinds of daily necessities inside, and many things are not bargains.

For example, the towels used for washing are made of wool.

Brando saw it, and sighed very much: "Hey, it's very good, although it's a little worse than what I lived in before, but it's much better than I thought." ”

"Hey, how much did you say the Pombo family would need to prepare such a house?" asked Brando, standing in the doorway, looking at Richard.

"I don't know. Richard replied with a calm shake of his head, then turned and walked into the next room, slamming the door shut.

Brando: "......"

I couldn't help touching my face, and muttered in my heart: Hey, I asked you a question, I didn't really want you to tell me the answer, I just wanted to chat with you. Do you just answer so simply and walk away?

I'm okay, I'm not that annoying, right? Anyway, we'll have to be together for at least three months, and you won't treat me like a living dead all the time, I'll be crazy!

Richard in the room didn't know what Brando was talking about, but his idea was clear: he wasn't going to stay here for three months and get a job with the Pombo family. I was only going to find the Book of the Void in three days, complete the task and go to the branch of the Society of Truth, exchange the remaining Book of the Void from the director Rommel, completely solve the energy problem, and successfully develop nuclear weapons.

And now three days have passed, and he doesn't want to waste the rest of the time. Especially after getting clues suspected of being related to the Book of the Void, I don't want to delay at all and want to verify it as soon as possible.

"Brush, brush!"

After Richard closed the door and entered the room, he waved his hand and released several small spells to warn.

Take a deep breath afterward.

"Whew-ho-"

Empty your mind, lie quietly in bed, and enter the deepest meditation.

After a short time, there was a familiar vibration in the body, and the conscious body broke free from the flesh and rushed out of the room.
