The snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the two and melted quickly. In the white world, they were as inconspicuous as two ants.
Mrs. Xu Dela shook her head:
"I can't tell you whether your guess is correct, but if you still cherish life, then get away from this place as soon as possible."
"keep away?"
Jenkins repeated the word in a low voice, and put his hand on the trunk of the cedar beside him: "It's really interesting, what is under the villa? Could it be..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he looked suspiciously at the little tree held down by him. An overflowing vitality exists in this tree, and Jenkins has never felt such a situation in other plants except for the giant tree in the middle of the evergreen forest.
"Can you feel the extraordinaryness of this tree? Yes, it was planted by one of my ancestors thousands of years ago. The entire area centered on the hot spring cannot grow plants, only this tree is tenaciously alive." For so many years. But because of the influence of the strange terrain, it cannot grow up, and can only store its vitality in its own body to keep it alive. When each generation of our caretakers passes on the mission, we will take the successor girl to take a look at this tree Trees, inspire them not to be afraid of unknowns and dangers."
"A thousand-year-old tree..."
Jenkins muttered in his heart, but Mrs. Xu Dela's words were not over yet:
"You don't have to worry. This barren land has nothing to do with our family's responsibilities. What affects it is the hot spring. In fact, it's a good thing to be far away from the manor. At least it's safer here."
This sentence reminded Jenkins and made him temporarily stop looking at the thousand-year-old cedar.
"Is it a good thing to stay away from the villa? Interesting, is it possible that that person wants us to leave the villa in order to achieve his own goals? Speaking of which, since your mission is related to the land where the villa is located, is it okay to leave now? Question?"
"No problem, after all, except us, no one knows the secret here."
The conversation between the two ended here temporarily. Jenkins was silent for a while, reached out and touched his pet cat, Chocolate obediently rubbed the back of his hand with its furry side face.
"Now that the murderer is missing, you are unwilling to tell me the secrets of this land. But at least please answer my last question: Is there such a legend about [a non-existing room] in that villa? I came here On the first night, I saw a door that suddenly appeared."
"Door?"
Hearing this word, Mrs. Xu Dela's face suddenly changed:
"You ran into that door, oops, there's something wrong with the seal!"
He was obviously calm just now, but now he turned his head and ran towards the villa without even saying hello to Jenkins.
"Seal? Watcher? I have a bad feeling."
Jenkins walked quickly towards the low house while thinking, and Hathaway just opened the door and walked out:
"Oh, Jenkins. Did you ask about little Wellington? I've asked Jennifer, and one of us does have a relationship with him. What the hell is going on, you..."
"There is not much time, listen carefully, we may be in big trouble. I will return to the villa in a while, and you explain to everyone that I have taken a risk to get my luggage. Remember, if I don't come back within three hours, then don't In consideration of revealing the identity of the benefactor, take Miss Mikhail and leave here directly."
"Jenkins, what happened?"
The red-haired girl held Jenkins' arm tightly:
"I wasn't sure just now, but now I understand what you said. Remember, three hours!"
"I'll go with you. Your level is not as high as mine. Even if you encounter trouble, you may not be able to solve it."
"But some things have nothing to do with rank, Hathaway, it's nice to meet you."
He turned around and was about to leave, but the red-haired girl suddenly opened her arms to hug the man in front of her, stood on tiptoe and kissed him actively.
The world became extraordinarily quiet at this moment, and her long fiery red hair was extraordinarily dazzling in this icy world.
"You said that you can't say such things before taking dangerous actions...but you must come back."
"No, it's not a life-and-death parting, ha~ don't do this, I'll be back."
He raised his hand and wiped his lips, stuttering a bit, turned around and took the cat, and quickly chased after Mrs. Xu Dela.
The middle-aged woman moved quite fast, and Jenkins followed the footprints on the snow all the way until he saw the villa half exposed on the snow in the distance, and he did not see Mrs. Xu Dela.
The snow surface formed after the avalanche is a bit soft. In order to prevent falling into the snow, Jenkins also took the initiative to use [Cat's Elegance], hoping to imitate the light steps of cats. It might actually work, at least to run much faster.
The aura around the villa was suppressed, so he couldn't find the target with his own eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he lay on his back on the snow and stood up, leaving a shadow there so that he could leave later.
"Chocolate, stay here and wait for me to come back."
He ordered again, after all [The Phantom of Reality] can only transfer itself.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed softly, not sticking to her body as before and unwilling to leave. It rubbed Jenkins' face, then jumped from its shoulder to the shadow on the snow, and watched Jenkins run to the mountain.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed again, then turned and ran in the direction it came from.
Although the second floor of the villa was not completely flooded by the avalanche, the sound of the avalanche shattered all the glass. Jenkins suspected that the lower part of the building had tilted because he felt the ground slope after entering the hallway through the broken window.
Mrs. Xudela's footprints extended to the window. After entering the room, there were only two wet traces under the window, and then they disappeared.
The second floor of the villa has a large area, and there are a large number of rooms, so it is definitely not a good idea to rush to find them. Without hesitation, he went straight to the room where he kept his luggage, which happened to be located in the flooded area on the second floor. Although there was no snow in the hallway, something inside the room was blocking the door.
Outstretched flaming hands burned through the door and found snow pouring in from the window of the room and rushing the furniture to the door. It took some more work to burn off the things that got in the way, and found my own trunk in the gap between the bookcase and the sloping bed.
There is nothing missing in it, the same as when the box was opened last time.
"All right."
He muttered softly, hung the small bag containing the magazines on his waist, put the silver metal block in the inner pocket of the coat, and took the cane that was pressed at the bottom in his hand.
"That's enough. Just wait, thing under the villa, you ruined my vacation, you're dead!"
Add more tomorrow
More will be added tomorrow, the specific amount depends on how much time I have to upload tonight. Not to celebrate Children's Day, but to celebrate my successful graduation. In this way, ask for votes at the end of the month and ask for votes at the beginning of the month.
This book has also written 1.4 million words, probably in the mid-term position. Five of the nine savior emblems appeared: the world tree seedling (green, unformed), the unknown future (purple), the twin demons (red), the undead (white), and the real phantom (gold).
There are four left, still one volume per volume, plus the plot between the scenes, the book will probably be finished in less than 3 million. I will not count the words, open a new map in order to continue writing, make up 9 pieces and finish, the book is over. It's probably a long way off though, so don't be so nervous right now.
Regarding the relationship line, the investigator was too fast in the last book, so this book is slower. Now the timeline in the book has only passed half a year, and during this time, the relationship between the ladies and Jenkins was gradually established through various events. You can read every emotional change from the text, this is the delicate emotional line I want to write.
Of course, this may not meet the requirements of some readers, and I also know that this may be a bit too slow for web articles.
Let me be blunt, the first time Jenkins has an indescribable occurrence will be at the end of the next volume that has not yet started-"Stage of Fate" or the interlude after the end. But there is no car, including in the group, and now it is strictly enforced, you all understand.
In addition, it is under maintenance now, and I can't see you talking anymore, but please continue to support "Master of Paradise", thank you.
