Soran sat in the driver's seat and looked at the black-haired boy sitting next to him without leaving a trace.
The boy was very handsome, with slightly curly black hair and fair skin. From the side, one could see his smooth and clean jawline, and his crow-feather-like eyelashes were slightly drooping, as if he was thinking about something.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looked more like a young master who was brought up in Central City rather than an orphan raised by the Butler Academy.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, the new butler slightly turned his head and smiled at him, without any reluctance on his face.
There seems to be no intention to break the contract.
Soran nodded to the new butler as a response.
The black gas mask emitted a cold metallic glow and covered the lower half of his face.
Yaxiao on the side was already leaning back in his chair.
He turned his head as if to admire the scenery outside the window, but in fact he was typing in his mind: [Fourth Uncle, is this driver Soran, one of the villain's right-hand men?]
Among the villains, only the taciturn Soran wears a gas mask at all times.
[Yes.]
System 401, wearing reading glasses, identified it in his sea of consciousness for a while before nodding affirmatively.
Yaxiao made an OK gesture to the system in his mind.
If I remember correctly, Soran was the first unlucky adjutant to be killed by the protagonists.
However, this matter has nothing to do with him.
All Yaxiao had to do was to ensure that he could successfully become the villain's steward, stay and work beside the villain, absorb the demonic value, and successfully grow wings.
As for the few deaths on the villain's side, it actually has nothing to do with him.
[Bhutto is such a good man.]
Yaxiao withdrew his gaze and said to the system with emotion that Bhutto had saved them a lot of trouble.
The system was also pleased.
The progress was smoother than planned, and the host finally became the villain's butler.
In the original book, Bhutto was the Marshal of the Sixth Base and the fourth steward of the villain.
The reason why the host was able to become the marshal’s steward this time was also because of the transaction last night.
[Yaxiao] gave [Bhutto] a completely new identity, and correspondingly, [Bhutto]'s existence would be replaced by [Yaxiao].
[Host, how do you feel now? ]
The system is a little worried. Equivalent trading is the talent of demons, but only king-level demons are capable of conducting rule-based transactions.
Yaxiao has the blood of a king-level demon flowing in his body, but because he is still a mid-level demon without wings, forcing himself to carry out rule-based transactions will consume a lot of magic power and energy.
[Well enough.]
Yaxiao's spirit has recovered to a large extent, but the magic power he can mobilize is still limited.
If Bhutto's memory had not been erased after using equivalent exchange, his magic power would not have been depleted so severely.
It seems that using two talents in succession is still a bit too much in this world, Yaxiao thought.
[Must earn magic power early.]
The system knows that the host probably doesn't have much magic power, but currently in this world without magic power, if he wants to restore his magic power, he can only absorb demonic value from the villain.
Yaxiao nodded in his heart. It was said that the villain was a very troublesome person, and it would take some effort to keep working beside him.
[Fourth Uncle, go and have a rest first! ]
The system is an old system that should have been retired long ago. It can only be turned on for a short time every day, and Yaxiao is reluctant to let it work too hard.
[Okay, host, you need to pay more attention to safety. ]
The system really couldn't hold on any longer. After activating the substitute AI and the system mall, it temporarily fell into a deep sleep.
After that, Yaxiao did not talk to the system again. Occasionally, he would take the initiative to ask about the matters of the Sauron base.
Bhutto grew up in the safe central city.
To be honest, he had never even been to the second-line base, let alone the dangerous border base. After Yashao replaced Bhutto, due to the influence of the rules, Sauron was not surprised by some of the questions raised by the other party.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Yashao was different from butler Bhutto. He had only been in this world for less than half a month. Let alone the base, he was not even familiar with the central city.
As the sun was setting in the west, before the temperature dropped rapidly, the aircraft finally entered the border of the Sixth Base and slowly landed at its stop.
The use of aircraft is not allowed within the Sixth Base without special circumstances.
When the two walked out of their stop, Mist, another lieutenant of the villain, had been waiting outside for some time.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
Unlike the taciturn Soran, Mist, who is also an adjutant, is a very enthusiastic person.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a big smile on his face. He raised his hand to give Soran a hug. After being rejected, his expression did not change. He said to Yaxiao in a friendly manner: "Next, I will take you to the Marshal's residence."
Yaxiao also smiled: "Okay."
Mist was slightly stunned when he saw this, then he quickly put on a smile and waved to Soran who had been standing next to him: "The documents at the headquarters haven't been approved yet, you go over there."
Soran, who was being ordered around, didn't say anything. He raised his foot and was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned to nod at Yaxiao.
Yaxiao replied.
Mist was a little surprised. It seemed that Soran had a good impression of the new butler
"Shall we go then?"
Mist smiled at Yaxiao and took the initiative to lead the way.
"OK."
Yaxiao's eyes curved and he followed with his suitcase.
The hover car parked on the side of the road has smooth lines and a silver-white shell that is as hard as iron. The hover car is nearly one meter above the ground, but its speed is not very fast.
On the way, Yaxiao did not urge anyone. He sat in the hovercraft and stared out the window curiously.
The Sixth Base is different from the Central City.
Not only are the security facilities around more stringent, but most people on the street are wearing black military uniforms, and some of them are dressed very strangely.
Some of them covered their entire faces, some wore gags, some wore noise-proof earmuffs, and some wrapped themselves up tightly. Compared with normal people, these people had a solemn atmosphere around them, as if they were intentionally keeping a certain distance from others.
Soran, whom Yaxiao had met not long ago, was also wearing a gas mask.
According to the information in the book, they all belong to the same group of patients, suffering from mental pollution diseases caused by sensory system disorders caused by killing magic insects.
These people are called "Taboos".
Sick people will have certain taboos, and once the taboos are violated, they will lose their minds.
If they do not receive timely treatment, those who are out of control will eventually break through a certain threshold and become crazy monsters that can only be killed. Of course, even if they regain their sanity, the loss of control will cause irreversible damage to their bodies.
This is the curse placed upon the hero.
Yaxiao knew that the villain was also a member of the taboos, or rather, the villain was the most troublesome one among them, so troublesome that no one had recorded all his taboos yet.
It's hard to be a villain's butler.
At least in the original book, the four stewards, including Bhutto, had a bad ending.
Yaxiao looked at the pedestrians outside the window and corrected his previous statement. It was not that the out-of-control villain killed those four people, but basically, any housekeeper who had seen the villain out of control would not want to continue working for him.
The villains won't allow them to stay.
If you want to stay and work beside the villain, you must prevent the villain from losing control as much as possible and try your best to avoid violating his taboos.
While Yaxiao was lost in thoughts, Mist was watching him quietly.
The new butler looks younger and more beautiful than in the information. Although she still looks like a teenager, she has rich experience as a butler.
There are not many treatment measures for taboo-holders at present. In addition to drug treatment, some taboo-holders will choose to hire professional housekeepers to assist them and avoid violating taboos and losing control.
Ever since the Marshal's three stewards were killed by the magic insects one after another, no matter how hard they tried to suppress the news, there would always be some rumors spreading.
This caused them to encounter many obstacles when recruiting a butler for the marshal.
Especially since the new butler who was supposed to appear at the meeting yesterday did not show up, Mist guessed that the other party might have heard the rumor.
However, judging from the other party's relaxed state now, Yaxiao should have no intention of terminating the contract
Personally, Mist certainly does not want to terminate the contract. After all, the spring meeting is coming soon, and the Marshal needs a butler who can cooperate well with him, rather than frequently changing butlers.
Mist thought for a moment, and then pretended to be natural and tried to test Yaxiao: "The Sixth Base is closest to the front line, and the conditions should be worse than those in the central city."
"Yeah?"
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment. He was not very interested in these things. In his eyes, these things were all the same, with no difference. He answered obediently: "I think they are all the same."
Unlike the taciturn Soran, Mist is a shrewd man. Having been an adjutant for so many years, he can tell the truth from the lies as soon as he hears them. It is obvious that Yaxiao is not flattering him intentionally, but he really means so.
Mist smiled when he heard that. The other party should really not be planning to terminate the contract. If he wanted to terminate the contract, he would have revealed some attitude when he heard the question just now.
The hovercraft gradually picked up speed.
Yaxiao didn't look out the window again. Apart from those forbidden ones, there was really not much difference between the Sixth Base and the Central City for the demons. They would get bored after looking at it for too long.
Just when Yaxiao was feeling bored, Mist became nervous, or rather, the closer he got to the Marshal's villa, the more nervous he became.
The previous three butlers were all excellent people, and they had served many taboo subjects, which showed how knowledgeable they were. However, they were still very afraid of the marshal. Perhaps the ending was doomed from the first time they stepped into the marshal's residence.
The marshal's single-family villa in the eastern suburbs was backed by a mountain, and the hovercraft had to go around the mountain road to reach the destination.
It was already dark, the mountain breeze was chilly, and there was no one around. The villa standing on the top of the mountain had an inexplicable eerie feeling. There were many holes in the dead trees at the door, like monsters with twisted mouths and wailing. The villa was pitch black, and the mural patterns on the wall outside, illuminated by the lights of the suspended car, were absurd and inexplicably weird.
This place doesn't look like a residential villa, but rather like the place where deaths often occur in ghost movies. The silence is eerie and strange.
When Mist saw this villa for the first time, he felt creepy.
He stopped the hovercraft and turned around to comfort Yaxiao: "This is the Marshal's personal interest, don't..." be afraid.
Before he could finish his words, he was met with a pair of sparkling blue eyes.
Mist was dazzled by the shining eyes.
Then he saw the exquisite black-haired boy staring at the villa in front of him through the car window, and excitedly said incoherently: "Can I really...really live here? It's so beautiful here, this is the first time I see such an exciting villa in this world!"
The boy's ears turned red with excitement.
Mist: …
Beautiful, heart-warming, is it here
