Many days ago on the night.

In the vast expanse of the land, the remote villages are dotted, and the old castle stands alone, like a small wooden boat floating on the sea in the boundless night, occasionally shining dimly through the window.

On the second floor of the castle, in the shady room, Heidi, a cat slave girl, was sitting on the bed with her knees crossed, looking at the night sky outside the window in a daze. She'd been doing this for a long time, and it looked like she'd continue to do so, because she didn't know what to do - whatever she did, she would be denied by the owner of the place, and she would have to stay in this room all the time, obediently killing time with the cat.

"Meow!"

A cat meowed, and the black cat lying on the bed yawned and opened its mouth to bark.

Heidi tilted her head slightly, reached out and touched the black cat, scratched the black cat's belly, and let the black cat sleep lazily. Then he turned his head, sighed, continued to look at the starry sky, and said to himself in a very low voice, "When can I go out...... And will Mr. Richard come......"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Da Da Da ......"

Heidi turned her head to look at the doorway, and the black cat beside her seemed to feel some danger, and suddenly woke up from her sleep, her fine hair exploded, her waist was arched high, and her tail was cocked vertically, staring at the door and roaring.

"Woo-woo-"

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound outside the door is unaffected and continues to approach.

Heidi pursed her lips, looked at the appearance of the black cat next to her, and stretched out her hand to appease, who knew that the black cat suddenly shrank and hid under the quilt on the bed.

Heidi was slightly stunned, and at this time, a figure had appeared outside the door.

It was an old man, with a clumsy body, a wrinkled face, and he looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and because he was so thin, his skin was almost wrapped around the bones, and at first glance it looked like a skeleton.

The other party exuded a cold aura all over his body, which made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it, but Heidi still stubbornly asked, "Hello Eugene, is there something wrong?" The other party is Eugene, the old servant in this castle who was specially assigned by the owner of the castle to take care of her.

"Well, that's right. Listening to Heidi's voice, Eugene, the old man standing outside the door, opened his mouth and said, "Lady Mary wants to see you, Miss Heidi." ”

"Aunt Mary wants to see me?" Heidi's eyes flashed, "Why?"

"I don't know. The old man shook his head, not revealing any information, but said, "Lady Mary is waiting for you in the hall on the first floor now, I hope you can hurry." ”

Leaving this sentence behind, the old man turned around and left.

Heidi frowned, a little unsure why she was suddenly called on the big night. Lifted up the quilt, looked at the black cat hidden in the quilt, and said loudly, "Mickey, do you want to go with me?"

"Meow-" The black cat squealed slightly aggrieved and hid deeper into the quilt.

"Okay, then I'll go myself. Heidi sighed, jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, tidied up her slightly messy clothes, and stepped out into the hall on the first floor.

When Heidi arrived at the hall, she saw that the fireplace in the hall was stacked with many logs, which were burning brightly, as if to dispel the coolness of the night.

But for some reason, the closer the fireplace came, the more cold Heidi felt, and without the slightest warmth, she couldn't help but move away, and turned her head to look at a woman sitting in a brown high-backed leather chair in the hall.

It seems that it is difficult for the other party to distinguish the age of the non-specific—the appearance of a thirty-year-old, the mature taste of a forty-year-old, and the look that can only be possessed by those over fifty.

The other party's skin was fair, white like snowflakes, and Rao was ashamed of Heidi. The other party's lips were red like blood, his eyes were like a pair of sapphires, his hair was like gold, and the other party was wearing a gorgeous blue coat and a large string of pearl necklaces around his neck.

Heidi saw it and honestly shouted, "Hello, Aunt Mary." ”

"Hmm. Listening to Heidi's voice, the other party turned his head to look at a Heidi, and asked aloud, "I heard Eugene say, do you want to go out of the castle for a walk?"

Heidi's expression tightened: "That...... Aunt Mary, I did say I wanted to get out of the castle for a walk, but Eugene told me that it wasn't safe outside, so I gave up. And...... That was many days ago. ”

The woman Mary nodded, "That was indeed many days ago, don't blame me, only to mention it now." The reason for this is because during the previous time, there was really chaos outside.

You don't understand, but it's good that you know that there's a place called the White Rock Tower. Something big happened there that affected the entire East Coast. You are my dear and I must care for you, so I cannot let you leave the castle in danger. ”

"Uh-" Heidi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aunt Mary, you forgot, actually...... I'm here from the White Rock Tower. ”

"You're from the White Rock Tower?" said the woman, Mary, after a moment's pause, "I remember that you are indeed from the White Stone Tower. It's better, and I'm sure you'll really understand what I mean. ”

"Yes. Heidi whispered.

"Now, then, I'm going to take you out of here, and you should understand?" asked the woman, Mary.

"Huh?" said Heidi, surprised, "......to get out of here?" Why?Do I have to leave?When do I leave?Can I ...... Can you wait a few days?"

"You've got a lot of questions, Heidi," said the woman Mary, a little displeased, "but I'm in a good mood to-day, and I can answer your questions."

First of all, you must leave, and I am not discussing with you, I am just informing you. As for the time, it's tonight. Why so, it's simple, because now it's more chaotic outside. ”

Heidi was puzzled: "It's more chaotic? Why do you have to leave if it's more chaotic?"

"Silly boy, don't you understand?" said the woman Mary, shaking her head and feeling a little disappointed, "If there is only a little chaos, we can naturally escape in this castle, but to a certain extent, our castle cannot be stopped, and we must go to a safer place." ”

"That'...... Where to go?"

The woman, Mary, did not answer directly: "You will know when the time comes." ”

"Then I'......," Heidi said again.

"Just be obedient, my little darling. The woman Mary exclaimed, "Now that you understand the situation, go and pack your bags at once, and we'll be gone in ten minutes." ”

"Ten minutes?"

"Yes, go ahead. The woman Mary waved her hand and said no more.

Heidi nodded helplessly, bit her lip, and quickly ran towards the second floor of the castle and entered the room.
