Richard and Brando waited for about an hour and saw Annie walking out of the manor. It was completely dark by then.
Anne walked out of the manor, holding a food box in her hand, with no expression on her face. She stepped on the wooden stool placed by the groom on the ground and stepped onto the carriage.
Richard, who had been waiting in the carriage for a long time, reached out and tried to take the food box from Annie's hand to reduce Annie's burden. But Annie didn't appreciate it. She raised the food box, avoided Richard's hand, and went straight into the carriage.
Richard's hand stopped in mid-air and slowly retracted it. Taking a look at the food box Annie was carrying, he found that the swing was a bit beyond his expectation - this meant that the weight of the food box was much lighter than before and it was almost empty. In addition, he also heard the faint sound of an object rolling in the food box, which seemed to be a cylinder, which reminded him of a scroll.
He didn't say anything, silently returned to the carriage and sat down with Brando. At this time, Anne ordered the groom: "Go home."
"Yes, Miss." The groom responded, picked up the wooden stool on the ground, jumped on the carriage, pulled the reins and controlled the carriage towards the city.
"Gululu..."
As the carriage moved forward on the undulating road, Brando rolled his eyes, trying to find a topic to increase Anne's favorability: "Well, Miss Anne, what have you been doing before? Can I know?"
What resulted was Anne's cold reply: "No, shut up!"
"Me." Brando's expression was dull. Unexpectedly, he had a bad start and was quite shocked. He lowered his head and closed his mouth like a defeated rooster.
Richard looked at it, moved his eyebrows slightly, and began to think:
It can be seen from Anne's performance that she attaches great importance to what she does in the manor and pays great attention to confidentiality. Therefore, he and Brando will not be allowed to follow, the reasons will not be explained, and the content will not be described.
So what happened in the manor
Annie went in carrying the food box. When she returned, the food box had become lighter. As expected, the food inside was given to someone.
To put it simply, what Anne came to the manor to do was to deliver food to someone.
Who could this person be
According to the information provided by the black-faced old man Oscar and his intelligence agency, Anne, as the eldest daughter of the younger generation of the Pangbo family, has a strong wizard talent and has a high status in the Pangbo family.
The person who allows Anne to deliver the meal in person must be a person with a higher status, and must be respected by Anne.
Such people, at least Anne's parents, are not qualified - due to childhood reasons, Anne's relationship with her parents was extremely bad.
If you push up, you'll find Anne's grandfather and great-grandfather's generation.
This made him couldn't help but think of a person, a person who had a great influence on the Pangbo family and made the Pangbo family truly become the overlord of St. Louis City - the younger brother of the eighth generation head of the Pangbo family - Alan Pangbo.
The other party became a third-level wizard fifty years ago and helped the Pangbo family eliminate many powerful enemies. Then he disappeared twenty years ago. It was rumored that he was trying to break into the realm of a fourth-level wizard, but the success or failure is unknown.
Could it be that the person who delivered the meal to Annie was Alan Pangbo
The other party was indeed qualified to ask Anne to deliver food. Perhaps because Anne gained favor by delivering food, the other party would give Anne some help, such as the suspicious scroll in the food box.
Let’s make a bold guess. If the other party can give the scroll to Anne, will the other party have similar scrolls or books on hand
Perhaps a large part of the Pangbo family's precious scrolls and books are protected by the other party.
The opponent itself has the strength of a third-level wizard or even a fourth-level wizard, and there is an entire camp of magic-equipped knights next to him, so he is absolutely foolproof.
Then the "Book of Void" he was looking for was found.
This is just speculation at the moment, but if confirmed, it would complete his main goal of coming to St. Louis City.
After Richard's deliberation, the groom drove the carriage back to St. Louis City and returned to the Pangbo family's residence.
With a "squeak" sound, the carriage stopped in a yard. Anne walked out of the carriage carrying a food box, looked at Richard and Brando who were following behind and said, "There is a banquet at home today that I have to attend. It's safe. I don’t need your protection.
So you don’t have to follow me, just go back and rest. The resting place is near the courtyard where I live. If you can't find it, ask my maid. If I have anything to do tomorrow, I'll call you. But it won’t be too early, because I’m used to sleeping until the afternoon, that’s it. "
Annie raised her hand and waved, holding the food box in the other hand, and walked away without looking back.
Richard and Brando got off the carriage behind them, looked at each other, and looked in the direction of Anne's courtyard.
…
About twenty minutes later.
Richard and Brando found a rest room - as Anne said, it was near the courtyard where she lived. The conditions were pretty good, one room per person. There are all kinds of daily necessities inside, and many of them are not cheap.
For example, the towels used for washing are all made of wool.
Brando looked at it and sighed: "Hey, it's very good. Although it's a little worse than where I lived before, it's much better than I thought."
"Hey, how much do you think the Pangbo family will need to prepare such a house?" Brando stood at the door and looked at Richard and asked.
"I don't know." Richard shook his head calmly and replied, then turned and walked into the next room, slamming the door.
Brando: “…”
I couldn't help but touch my face, and murmured in my heart: Hey, when I ask you a question, I don't really want you to tell me the answer. I just want to chat with you. How could you answer so simply and then walk away
I look okay, not so annoying, right? By the way, we have to get along for at least three months. You won't always treat me like a living dead. Then I will go crazy!
Richard in the room didn't know what Brando was saying in his heart, but his idea was very clear: he was not prepared to stay here for three months and get a job from the Pangbo family. He is only prepared to find the "Book of the Void" within three days, complete the task and go to the branch of the Society of Truth, exchange the remaining "Book of the Void" from the supervisor Rommel, completely solve the energy problem, and successfully develop nuclear weapons.
And now one day of three days has passed, and he doesn't want to waste the remaining time at all. Especially after getting clues that were suspected to be related to the "Book of Void", I didn't want to delay at all and wanted to verify it as soon as possible.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
After Richard entered the room behind closed doors, he waved his hand and released several small warning spells.
Then take a deep breath.
"Hoo-ho-"
Empty your mind, lie quietly on the bed, and enter the deepest meditation.
Not long after, there was a familiar vibration in the body, and then the conscious body broke away from the body and rushed out of the room.
