Back in the room, Heidi looked at the furniture in the room, a little at a loss, and didn't know what to put away. Her heart was also very chaotic, she was expecting Richard to come here to meet her, but now she left suddenly, and Richard couldn't find her when she came.

What to do?

Heidi's teeth bit deep into her lip, almost bleeding, and suddenly her eyes blinked, and she had an idea.

The next moment, Heidi quickly retrieved the envelope, paper, quill, and ink, placed it on the table, dipped it in ink with a quill pen, and wrote on the paper.

Because of her nervousness, she wrote quickly and sloppily, and her whole body trembled a little after writing.

But I didn't have time to calm down, so I quickly dried the ink, put it in the envelope, and then walked to a place on the wall, pulled out half a stone with a little difficulty, revealing a hidden compartment, and put the envelope in.

This dark grid was made when she was usually bored, and she didn't know what she could do with it, but now it came in handy.

Although she felt that the chances of Richard coming and finding her letter were slim, there was at least a glimmer of hope.

A glimmer of hope was enough, and she couldn't hope for more.

After doing this, Heidi heard footsteps approaching outside, and she could guess that it must be the old servant Eugene who was about to urge her.

In order to prevent the other party from discovering what she had done, she hurriedly put away the ink and quills.

By this time, the footsteps had come very close.

Heidi quickly jumped on the bed, grabbed the black cat under the quilt, rushed to the door, and said to Eugene who appeared at the door: "Eugene, I've cleaned up." ”

"Huh?" Eugene looked Heidi up and down, and questioned, "Miss Heidi, you really have to pack up? You don't seem to have any luggage with you, do you?"

"I'll just take Mickey with me!" Heidi said, trying to pull out the tail of the black cat that had slipped into her arms and shaking it, "Mickey is my most important baggage." ”

Eugene's eyes flashed, "Alright then, Miss Heidi, Lady Mary is waiting for you outside the castle, let's go." ”

Be. Heidi held the black cat in her arms and ran down the stairs quickly.

Old man Eugene looked into the room, looked carefully, saw that there was no problem, extinguished all the candles in the room with a wave of his hand, turned around and walked down the stairs.

Outside the castle, a carriage was parked, and Madame Mary sat on it and waited, and after a short time Heidi ran out and boarded the carriage, which quickly started and went off into the distance.

Behind the carriage, the lights of the entire castle were continuously extinguished, and the huge silhouette blended into the vast night.

......

Daytime.

Castle, ground floor, hall.

With the light coming in from outside, Richard read the contents of the letterhead.

The content is simple, and the writing is a little sloppy, and it looks like it was written in a hurry, but it is recognizable: "Mr. Richard, if you can find this letter, then please don't worry about me, I am doing well." But Aunt Mary is going to take me out of here at once, and I don't know where I'm going, so if you come to me, you probably won't see me.

Here, I want to thank you in advance for really being able to come, even if we can't see each other.

Also, if you want to find me, keep in mind the following logo - I don't know what this sign is for, but Aunt Mary has used it many times. If you can find the source of this mark, you may be able to find me with Aunt Mary.

See you soon!"

At the very back of the letter, there is a slightly odd symbol.

The symbol consists of two parts, first a black triangle "△" on the outside, and a swastika "*" on the inside of the black circle.

This is somewhat different from the three parts of the Black Spirit Empire's symbol—△, ○, and |—but also somewhat similar.

After Richard looked at it, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't be sure if there was some relationship between this symbol and the Black Spirit Empire symbol, but he still wrote it down.

"So I'm gone, and I don't know where I've gone. That...... It's a bit difficult to find with just one sign. The best thing to do is to find a place to settle down and take your time. Richard muttered to himself, put away the letter, and walked out of the castle, Pandora following.

Soon out of the castle, Richard looked around, thinking about where to go, when his eyes suddenly flashed.

I saw a rickety old man standing in the field not far from the castle, as if he was working, and when the other party found him coming out of the castle, his face showed a surprised expression, and his eyes widened, and he looked very frightened. The next moment, the other party didn't say anything at all, turned around and ran.

I saw an old man in his seventies and eighties, bending over and running wildly in the field - it was really difficult for the other party.

"Huh?" Richard looked at it, and shouted a little puzzled, "This old gentleman, what are you running for? I have a question for you, I don't know ......"

While Richard was still talking, the old man had already run out more than ten meters, and it seemed that he didn't want to stop at all.

Richard's eyes couldn't help narrowing, he felt that there was a reason for it, and the next moment he stepped on his feet, and the whole person swept out and chased after the old man. Pandora, who was beside Richard, was stunned, shouting "Richard wait for me" and quickly followed.

......

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes later.

Arubak village, in a thatched house.

Richard and Pandora sat at a three-legged table with several wooden cups on it.

On one side, a stove was burning, and the rickety old man who had just escaped was adding tiny wood to the stove. A black copper kettle was placed on top of the stove, and soon the water in the kettle boiled, and a large stream of white steam came out.

The old man covered his handle with a damp rag, grabbed the copper kettle to the table, smiled kindly at Richard and Pandora, and began to add water to the wooden cup.

At the bottom of the wooden cup were a few grains of wheat, which were washed by the hot water, and floated quickly, whirling wildly in the water, and only slowly sank after a while.

With a "bang", the old man put the copper kettle aside and made a polite gesture to Richard and Pandora: "Please drink tea, please drink tea!"

"There is labor. Richard said, took the teacup, passed it to his lips, made a gesture, and put it back on the table—he didn't drink it at all. The reason is simple, it has been scientifically proven that boiled water is not drinkable, because - hot mouth.

Pandora on the side doesn't care so much, there is free tea, how can there be a reason not to drink it. Very obediently picked up the cup, poured the water into his mouth quickly, "Gu Dong Gu Dong" drank it in a few sips, and finally "Ka Dong Ka Dong" chewed a few wheat grains, frowned and whispered: "Isn't it sweet, I thought it was sweet......

Old man: "......" dumbfounded!
