Chapter 387: The Road of Eternal Night (IV)

The land of the peaks, the city of St. Callens.

A maid hurried into the gate of the manor, and she looked around for a moment before coming to the door, and then knocked lightly. Soon, the heavy door opened, and then a middle-aged woman with an expressionless face who looked like a housekeeper was standing there, staring at the maid in front of her with a cold and serious face. Feeling her gaze, the maid couldn't help but shrink her body.

"That ........."

"The eldest lady is still sleeping, you can go in and wait for her to wake up."

After saying this, the middle-aged woman stepped aside, and in the face of her words, the maid could only sweat profusely to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead, then lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted into the room.

Walking down the luxurious and beautiful corridors, beads of sweat once again oozed from the tip of the maid's nose, but this time not because of exhaustion, but because of nervousness. She followed the butler and walked inside. At the same time, I quickly recalled and sorted out what I had seen and heard in the past month. The city of St. Callens is one of the brightest pearls in the East, and the flow of information here is very easy and fast, but the little maid knows very well that the eldest lady is not just here to listen to her own story. If she had told the unpolished rumors like that, she wouldn't even know what would happen.

But the little maid can be sure that it will not be a good thing. The "exes" who disappeared inexplicably before themselves are telling her that this is definitely not a good choice.

Following the butler's side, the maid just stared at her toes. Until the other party stopped and pushed open a door. The little maid sighed, and then she looked up cautiously. They followed each other into the room.

It is a large bedroom, with luxurious furnishings and red velvet curtains that show a sense of luxury. However, when it comes to luxury, nothing compares to the things in this room itself.

That's a lot of gold and treasure.

Thousands of gold coins were piled up in this room into a glittering sea of gold, and in this ocean, you could see gems scattered everywhere, as well as all kinds of utensils, equipment, and statues. Silver. Made of crystal, and even made of Mithril. All sorts of incomparably precious treasures were scattered and buried in the sea of gold coins, and from time to time you could see the hilt of a sword or the head of a statue, like a fish swimming merrily in the water. And in the light of the night pearl embedded in the corner of the wall, the whole room shone with brilliance -- it was the brilliance of wealth.

But the most eye-catching thing is the petite figure lying in this "ocean" at the moment.

It was a girl.

She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pitch-black nightdress, and her long black shawl hair fell down the girl's beautiful face, outlining a bit of playfulness and cuteness. The finely carved faces and facial features make people involuntarily indulge in it. The white and delicate skin showed a faint white glow, making the girl look more and more beautiful and moving. It's as if she's the most deserving treasure in this treasure room.

But at the moment, the appearance of this "treasure" lady is obviously not very dignified, she is holding a black rabbit doll, and the whole person is lying lazily on it and falling into a deep sleep. The hem of the black nightdress flipped open, revealing the slender and beautiful legs inside. And the girl seemed to be completely unaware of this, she just closed her eyes. Burying his head in the rabbit doll he was holding tightly, it seemed as if he was having a good dream.

The housekeeper did not speak. Naturally, the maid didn't speak, she just stood there with her head down. The atmosphere didn't dare to gasp and look at the ground, or even look at the dazzling treasures in front of him. It was as if it was some kind of poisonous snake that would be bitten by it just by looking at it. And the girl didn't seem to notice their arrival at all, and just lay there and slept soundly.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Outside the window, the sun had sunk below the horizon, and even the evening hustle and bustle had subsided, replaced by the silence of midnight. And the housekeeper and the little maid still stood there quietly, not moving. However, the latter was obviously a little tired, and his legs had begun to tremble slightly, but he was barely able to hold on with his strong willpower.

"Whew............"

I don't know how long it took, but I saw that the little girl who had been sleeping soundly yawned, and then she raised her head in a daze and rubbed her eyes. Seeing this scene, the housekeeper and the little maid immediately lowered their heads and didn't say a word. It wasn't until a moment later that the girl seemed to come to her senses, and she blinked, as if she had noticed the two men standing in the doorway.

“……… Where are you......... How long did I sleep? ”

"Thirty-six days, five hours, and thirteen minutes, my lord."

Soon, the housekeeper replied respectfully.

"Hmm......... I didn't have any good dreams this time......... It's boring..............."

Hearing the butler's answer, the girl rolled in the sea of gold coins and muttered dissatisfiedly. And hearing her talk to herself, the little maid trembled even more, she was almost pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans on her forehead dripped downward. However, both the maiden and the housekeeper seemed to be accustomed to this, and the housekeeper only glanced at the little maid, and then looked at the girl in front of her again.

"Need dinner for you? Miss? ”

"Of course, I'm hungry today, so give me three times as much."

"Yes."

Hearing the girl's answer, the housekeeper nodded, and soon, she took out a bell and shook it lightly outside. It was not long before two maids came into the room with roast suckling pig and roast chicken, and they placed their plates in front of the maiden with trembling fear, and then immediately took their leave. And the girl didn't care about it at all, she sat up cross-legged, then took a roast chicken and tore it, and then stuffed it into her mouth with relish. Then the girl turned her head and looked at the little maid.

"By the way, let's hear about what's going on these days."

"Yes, Miss."

Hearing the girl's inquiry, the little maid hurriedly replied. Then she hesitated for a moment, and then slowly began to tell what had happened in the past month -- as one of the most prosperous cities in the East, St. Calenster naturally had its own unique means of intelligence and information, from the jealousy between nobles to the friction and conflict between countries, and all kinds of news and rumors came and went with the wind.

Duels, wars, assassinations, these things made the eldest lady yawn, and she looked as if she was bored and about to fall asleep. But her subordinates did not stop there, roasting chicken with honey, roasting suckling pig, roasting whole sheep, charcoal-roasted whole beef, one after another fragrant and sumptuous delicacies came in from outside, and then into the belly of the eldest lady. I saw that she ate a cow leg in almost a few bites, and then threw the huge leg bone to the side, picked up a roast goose, and stuffed it into her mouth without looking at it. It was almost like a comic book character, and then I saw the eldest lady make a swallowing motion, and the next moment the roast goose fell down her slender throat into her stomach, and there was no more movement.

"It's all boring."

It wasn't until dawn that the girl patted her belly with satisfaction, and then threw down a cow bone. She licked her tongue first, licking the last trace of oil from her mouth, and then looked at the housekeeper.

"By the way, who is cooking today?"

"It's Dalgin's head chef and the most famous chef on the entire East Coast."

"One waste, too much oil, too salty vegetables, and too far from what my brother made."

As she spoke, the girl waved her hand contemptuously.

"It's not so easy to cheat me out of my money, just kill it."

"Yes, Miss."

After listening to the girl's words, the housekeeper answered in a low voice, and then turned to leave. It was only then that the girl burped in satisfaction and looked at the little maid next to her. Feeling the gaze of the eldest lady, the maid's face turned pale with fright, and she took two steps back, but carefully did not lean against the wall. Instead, he straightened up and accepted the girl's gaze with trepidation.

"It's all boring, but the last one you said still has a little meaning, I heard that the western wilderness is shrouded in eternal darkness? Really? ”

"It's true, Miss."

Hearing this, the little maid nodded hurriedly.

"I got the news from the Temple, the Templar Order has already sent someone to investigate, and there is no day in the Hearing Center, it is always night. And the people who went in were crazy, and there were so many horrible monsters. I heard that the Ten Towns Alliance has ended, and now the people over there are panicking, and many people are worried about whether this will be a harbinger. ”

"Interesting."

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the girl's eyes, and she stood up and walked around on the gold coin with her bare feet, putting on a thoughtful expression.

"Interesting, Wild West? Whose territory is that? Forget it, I don't bother to memorize it, but looking at it like this, it looks like the trick of the turtle with a shrunken head -- hey, it really surprises me, I thought that guy would shrink into his turtle shell for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect her to do it? Well, it seems that she is also determined to win her brother...... Well, that's right, it must be so! ”

Speaking of this, the girl seemed to be sure of something, and smashed her fist into her palm.

"I really didn't expect that shrunken turtle to have this kind of energy, okay, I'm going to see what the hell that guy is doing, if it's sure she did it, then I must clean her up and tell that turtle what it means to be young and orderly!"

With that, the girl walked to the door, kicked it open, and shouted loudly.

"Come on, change clothes, I'm going to the Western Wilderness!" (To be continued......)
