Maybe it was because of the heavy rain last night.

Even by ten o'clock in the morning, the streets of Roseburg were not warm.

The servants of the Viscount's Mansion were taken away and dismissed, and Annan and Salvatore could not find a coachman who could send them out for a while.

Fortunately, however, the Viscount's Mansion was not far from the residence of the tax collector Jum Notdam.

Annan and the two are not that kind of hypocritical.

They can walk around.

"Don't you have to worry about your guards? They did a great job last night. ”

Salvatore said casually.

Annan just chuckled: "They must not have woken up yet." ”

“…… It's almost noon, huh? ”

Salvatore turned his head in some surprise and looked at his companion next to him: "Are you so lenient with them?" ”

"No, just I guess...... They must have had a bad night's sleep when they went back last night. ”

The little lord with black hair and blue eyes looked at Salvatore with a smile.

He had watched them all night after a night of copying.

This morning, I also watched them turn off the live broadcast, and they went offline one by one like dumplings......

Seeing Annan's appearance, Salvatore raised his eyebrows slightly: "You look very confident." ”

"yes, do you want to gamble?"

"Don't take me for a fool, Don Juan."

Salvatore scoffed: "Since you are so confident, I will not be fooled." ”

Annan looked at Salvatore with some surprise.

I didn't expect this guy to be so sober and decisive at such an inconsequential time......

Or rather......

"So you're not stupid."

Annan exclaimed.

Salvatore was immediately annoyed: "Shit, what are you talking about, you dwarf?" ”

Because of course

In such small things, Salvatore usually follows the advice of the shadow.

Breathing in the fresh air, Annan exhaled deeply and felt a little pleasure.

Yesterday was a long day.

This is especially true for Annan.

Kill Gerald, kill Justin and Viscount Barber, and then happily watch them kneel all night, and get up at six in the morning to brush up another ......

He was genuinely tired for a day and a night, his brain never stopped, and his body only slept for an hour and a half.

The day was too fulfilling.

Damn, do I have to make up for the overtime I owed in my last life......

"Ahh

Salvatore sneezed.

It had just rained, and the sea breeze from the North Sea in December made Salvatore's body tremble slightly.

"Are you cold?"

Annan asked with some concern, "My clothes can be worn for you." ”

Seeing that the minor, who was more than a head shorter than himself, asked with such concern, Salvatore was obviously a little annoyed: "Thank you, Don Juan, but no, I'm not so cold."

"And, it's already there!"

Following his gaze, Annan saw a mansion that was not too big or small.

It is about the size of a modern single-family house, with two floors and blue-black stone walls covered with some kind of plant that resembles a "creeper". The courtyard is small, and through the iron railing, you can see that some vegetables are growing in it.

It looks like the house has been lived in for at least thirty or forty years.

It's been a few years.

“…… What about the servants of their house? ”

There is something strange about Salvatore.

He stepped forward and shouted, "Is anyone home?" ”

Strangely, there was no response inside.

"Aren't you home...... Well? ”

Salvatore was confused and wanted to check the lock.

It was found that the lock of the iron door had been broken from the outside, and the door was not locked.

The two of them looked at each other, keenly aware that something was wrong.

I opened the iron door and walked in.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were noble enough...... Even being considered a thief or a robber is entirely possible.

But fortunately.

The two of them didn't need to worry about anything at this time, just opened the iron door and walked in. Before entering, Salvatore specially brought the iron door on...... Prevent anyone from following the two of them in.

"Nottdam?"

"Are you there, Rumu!"

The two of them shouted.

The door to the hall was not closed.

But until they walked into the hall, no one responded.

Even in the whole house, there is no breath of life. The furniture and the floor were covered with a faint layer of ash.

“…… Are you sure his house is here? ”

Annan frowned slightly, walked briskly in front, holding the satchel on his waist in his right hand, and the trusty boning knife Mr. was waiting inside.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Is the whole family out of the house?"

Salvatore, who was following Annan, frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.

He habitually closed the door to the main hall.

"Be careful!"

Annan's pupils shrank instantly.

Almost immediately, he sensed a strange, intense danger coming from nowhere.

A cold feeling that penetrated his heart seeped into his back and neck, and Annan's whole body seemed to be immersed in ice water, as if his whole body was restrained, and he couldn't move.

Annan and Salvatore looked at each other, and quickly confirmed from Salvatore's panicked eyes that this guy didn't know what was going on......

“…… I think they're coming, Memmy. ”

A somewhat familiar voice came from the next room.

That's the voice that belonged to Rumnotdamu.

"Impossible, Rum. People are just polite to you...... How busy are those two big guys? ”

It's a woman's voice.

It sounds very capable, and a bit rushed.

And Annan can roughly judge that she is not in a very good mood now, and she is very irritable.

"If you want me to say...... Ay? ”

Just then, the woman walked into the hall.

Seeing Annan and Salvatore appear here, she was visibly shocked.

Annan was immediately aware

This is a pregnant woman. From the degree of bulge in her abdomen, it can be seen that she is ready to go into labor at any time.

At the moment of eye contact with her, Annan immediately showed a pure and gentle smile and saluted the woman: "Good morning, madam." As you can see, I'm Don Juan Gerante and this is Salvatore Herta.

"Mr. Nottdam invited us to be our guest, and so we came. Another faux pas, the door was unlocked and we came in. ”

"Yes," Salvatore reacted, and quickly added, "We shouted twice outside the door before...... But no one opened the door. ”

"Idiot, you shouldn't have said this!"

The shadow's low and hoarse voice sounded a little irritating in Salvatore's heart: "You are all exposed, as if Don Juan has learned, what is acting!" If it doesn't work, let me do it! ”

Fuck off, there's no way I'm going to let you out......

Salvatore muttered inwardly.

Sure enough, as the shadow said. The pregnant woman glanced at Salvatore with some suspicion, and it was clear that they had not heard the call of Annan and the others.

"It's also possible that our voice is too quiet," Annan raised his head, looked at the pregnant woman seriously, and made a crisp and immature voice, "After all, we are all guests." Can't be too noisy. ”

It may be that Annan's words are convincing, or maybe Annan's face makes her subconsciously soften her attitude, and the pregnant woman can't help but show a rare smile on Annan's face: "Where, please take a seat, lord!" And this Mayor, huh? I'm going to pour you tea...... Rumu, come out quickly! Grown-ups are coming! ”

With that, she shouted into the house.

Soon, Rum Notdam came over in a bit of a panic.

He barely put on his formal clothes, but he still didn't fully button them: "Sorry, I didn't expect you to come so early......"

Annan and Salvatore looked at each other.

That's right, that's exactly what they saw last night.

But what just happened......

The two of them were a little wary.

Annan sat down at Nottdam's instructions, his right fingertip sweeping the table without a trace.

No dust.

Annan was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "We came here so early to invite you out to dinner. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Salvatore.

Salvatore quickly understood: "Yes, we have something to do today...... You know. Something about Lord Viscount. ”

"Uh-huh...... I know. So yes, going out? ”

Nottdam hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He shouted into the house, "Let's go out for lunch today, Plummy!" You don't need to prepare...... I'll be back after eating! ”

Nottdam said, a little embarrassed to Annan: "I'm sorry, my wife is about to give birth, and she can't leave...... But it's still fine if it's not too far. ”

"Well, it's fine."

Annan responded with a gentle response.

Soon, the three of them left the house together.

As he left the gate, Annan glanced back.

This time, the house was a little more angry with the naked eye, the temperature was normal, and even the sound of Meimi walking around the house could be faintly heard.

It's as if some are back in place.

…… Odd.

What's going on?
