Views:

The little priest adjusted his breathing and walked into the hall with a bread basket.

The butler Wallace motioned to a black maid next to him to get it, but then he heard the little priest say, "Is Daisy not here?"

"Why, is the priest looking for something for her?" Wallace raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise on his face.

"She asked me a question during the last sermon, and I didn't answer it, but I've been thinking about that question for the past two days, and now I have the answer, so I can tell her."

"You can tell me that I will pass it on to her." The black maid smiled.

"Sorry, I want to tell her more personally that this is my job." The little pastor insisted.

The black maid turned to look at the butler Wallace, who shrugged, "It's hard for you to say no to a priest, call Daisy out." After speaking, he said to the little priest, "Father Tim, you seem It's hot, and this is the second time in five minutes I've seen you wipe your sweat."

"Yeah, today's sunshine is a bit poisonous." Hearing this, the little pastor's heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously wanted to wipe his sweat with his right hand, but he retracted it halfway.

A gleam flashed in Wallace's eyes, and he wanted to say something more, but at this moment Daisy's footsteps had already been heard.

So the butler also politely stepped aside, but he didn't go far away, making it clear that he wanted to listen in on the sidelines.

The little pastor spent five minutes explaining which one would be heard by God first, black people's prayers or white people's prayers.

After he finished speaking the last word, the butler on the other side applauded, "Very impressive explanation, is Father Tim anything else?"

The latter shook his head and handed the bread basket in his hand to Daisy, "Please help me distribute these breads to other children."

"Then I'll send Father Tim away." Wallace made a gesture of invitation.

As soon as the little priest's carriage left the gate of the manor, the butler immediately turned around and went back to the house, calling two overseers, "Go and take Daisy to the execution room, entertain first, I'll be there in ten minutes."

"What about Father Tim?"

"Forget it, don't provoke those priests without absolute evidence, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing this, the two overseers rushed into Daisy's residence decisively, grabbed the latter's hair, and dragged the screaming and struggling Daisy all the way out of the room.

Wallace then walked into the room. He first walked up to the four bread baskets and kicked them over one by one. However, there was nothing in them except bread. The cautious Wallace kicked the four baskets The bread was rolled, but nothing was found.

So he started to turn Daisy's bed upside down again, opened the sheets, and took apart every board, but still nothing was gained.

Wallace frowned, and after searching the closet, he walked out of the room again. At this time, a group of maids in the corridor were watching him in horror from the other side.

Wallace grabbed someone and asked, "Has Daisy ever left the room before?"

The latter kept shaking his head, and Wallace grimaced.

"You know what it means to lie."

The maid cried out of fright when she heard the words, Wallace pushed her away impatiently, and looked at the others, "What about you, did anyone see Daisy leave the room?"

All the maids shook their heads together, the possibility of so many people lying together is very small.

Did I really miss it this time? But Wallace recalled Father Tim's abnormal behavior today, and his appearance was obviously ulterior motives.

Now is an extraordinary period, and Wallace does not intend to let go of any possible risks. Since nothing can be found in Daisy's residence, he can only interrogate her.

Without further delay, Wallace strode toward the torture chamber.

Leah's room is next to Daisy. She heard Daisy's screams and ran out immediately, but saw a scene that frightened her. Daisy was the new contact after Nadia was arrested. As a result, she was also arrested just as the escape was approaching.

Leah really panicked this time, not because Daisy might confess her, but because the contact between these people in the manor and Laeli was completely cut off as soon as Daisy was arrested.

She didn't know what news Laeli sent in this time, and she didn't know what to do next. What she was most worried about was that Laeli thought they had received the news and started to act according to the original plan. There was no way to save them, but to trap himself in it.

At this moment, someone patted her on the shoulder. Leah turned her head and saw Laura. The latter was not from their tribe, and she didn't usually have a good relationship with her. She was jealous that she could get Malcolm's preferential treatment. She would often squeeze her out with other maids, and Liya didn't want to be seen by the other party to see the flustered expression on her face at this terrible time.

However, Laura's words immediately froze her body in place, "Are you planning to escape?"

"You... what are you talking about?" Leah heard her teeth chattering.

"Don't be afraid of the kitten, it was Daisy who asked me to come to you." Laura said, "Come with me, I have something to show you."

After Laura finished speaking, she walked to the hut where mops, rags and other cleaning supplies were placed not far away. Liya hesitated for a moment and followed. Lace.

After all, the relationship between the two was not good before, and Laura was not from their tribe, so it was unreasonable to lend a helping hand to her at this time, but at this time Leah was desperate, even if she sacrificed herself, as long as she had a chance, she would Willing to take a gamble, she followed Lola into the hut.

The latter stood there waiting for her. Seeing her coming in, he immediately closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and then lifted a piece of canvas in the corner. Underneath were two short muskets and eight daggers.

"These are brought to you by your companions outside, and besides this, there is this," Laura said while taking out another letter from her pocket.

Leah stretched out her hand to take it, but Laura withdrew her hand again at this time.

"You don't think I'll give you the letter like that, do you?" Laura raised her eyebrows, "I took a great risk to help you hide these weapons, if it wasn't for me cleaning up there before , Daisy has got everything."

"What do you want?" Liya gradually calmed down at this time, and asked back.

"I want whatever you want, I want to leave this ghost place, I want to breathe free air again." Laura said, "Either you let me join, or you don't want to leave either."
