As soon as the sun rose, the night quickly dispersed.
Glory once again descended on the earth.
However, Sika City has not recovered from the atmosphere of the curfew three days ago.
That was when the sun had come to the top of the head, and there were not too many pedestrians in the entire city of Sika.
In fact, since the fire in the Viscount's mansion two days ago and the disappearance of the respected Viscount Sika, the entire city of Sika has been in a panic.
If the viscount's younger sister hadn't stepped forward to temporarily manage Xika City, there would have been a great chaos.
Many people are grateful for this.
But more people are surprised by this.
Because, no one thought that the younger sister of the Viscount, who lost her husband in the early years, would have such an ability.
Can't help but sincerely admire the baroness.
After all, even a man would have a hard time bringing the city of Sika, which was about to fall into chaos, back into order in a short period of time.
Especially those noble ladies who are also women seem to have recognized this baroness for the first time. Therefore, when the baroness sent out an afternoon tea party, these noble ladies began to prepare meticulously, and these noble ladies Husbands of women have become very careful when trying to show their best side.
Compared with their wives and lovers, they know more.
At the dawn of the next day, when the death of the Viscount Sika was confirmed, some guys in the city of Sika immediately became restless, and a few bandits near the Sika collar were eager to fight.
However, that night, those guys disappeared one by one.
The bandits who were contacted also disappeared.
You can't see people when you are born, and you can't see corpses when you die.
Then, the next day, another 'unreasonable' guy jumped out and disappeared.
The continuous disappearance is enough for a fool to understand what happened.
Therefore, Xika City and Xikaling became quiet.
All the insiders looked at the baroness with fear.
This is a femme fatale in excellent disguise.
Even, many people speculated that Viscount Sika's accident was related to the other party.
Of course, just thinking about it.
No one dared to speak out.
After all, no one wants to disappear.
As for the Baroness, who was scrupled by many people in Sika City, she was not complacent or calm about the overall situation at this time. She paced restlessly in the Viscount's mansion.
This room is hers, and it hasn't changed since she got married.
When returning from visiting relatives, she has been living here.
After rushing here from her manor this time, she came back here again.
Thinking of the changes that had happened in just a few days, the baroness, who usually lived reclusively, couldn't help frowning.
The son is missing.
Brother died.
She is the only one left in the direct line of the entire Sika family.
After confirming this fact, she immediately wanted to take refuge in Eitantinople.
She will never go to see those collateral relatives who have malicious intentions.
Because that would only surprise her.
Or even simply 'worrying' about his son and elder brother and dying in depression.
She knows all too well what those relatives want.
So, when a collaborator approached her, she immediately agreed.
She has no choice, does she
Compared with a group of wolves and tigers relatives, she believed in a messenger of the gods even more, especially if the other party had a gentle temperament, elegant behavior, and handsome appearance.
And the series of things that happened afterwards proved that her choice was not wrong.
That collaborator cleared up those bastards.
She started to take over Sika City unharmed.
However, it is not done once and for all.
At least, she still needs to get through today's afternoon tea party.
But she didn't have much confidence.
She rarely expresses herself in public, and she is not used to doing so, otherwise, she would not have lived in seclusion in the manor.
She is more used to it.
When she was a young girl, she used to lead her dog in the room. After getting married, this habit has not changed. In fact, her husband also likes it very much.
The greatest joy of the two is being together.
However, her son did not inherit the habit of the two.
On the contrary, his hobby for long swords surpasses books.
She and her husband have no objection to this.
She believes her son deserves to have his own choices.
Her husband believed that boys should learn to protect themselves and their families—the other party did the same. During a mandatory field hunt, after being attacked by a brown bear, the other party carried out his oath .
The Baroness's gaze became wandering.
She thought of her husband again.
The messenger was very similar to her husband.
Not only in appearance, but also in temperament.
Moreover, the other party also promised to find Karl's whereabouts.
Hope that kid is ok!
The baroness prayed in a low voice.
The god of prayer is not the god of war, but...
'Mist'!
Before coming into contact with that envoy, unlike her elder brother, she didn't have any firm beliefs, and most of them just read it casually. If there is a god of 'books', she doesn't mind believing in it, as long as the other party can provide More books.
At this moment, belief in the 'mist' is one of the contents of the transaction.
While it might seem sacrilegious to do so, it's really just a transaction.
She believes in the 'mist', and the 'mist' provides her with protection.
Compared with leaving home and going to Eitantinople, it seems that it is not difficult to believe in a god, especially this god is not as evil as the legend.
Then believe in it and believe in it, anyway, it doesn't cost money.
Boom, boom, boom.
A knock on the door sounded at this moment.
The baroness, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door without thinking.
The upper evil spirit stood outside the door with a smile on his face.
"Good afternoon, Baroness Nord."
The upper evil spirit bowed and saluted.
Nord is the surname of her husband's family. After getting married, Irene Sika became Irene Nord.
After the accidental death of Baron Nord, Irene Nord inherited the title and territory of her husband's family—because Viscount Sika had no heirs, and her son was destined to inherit everything from the Viscount.
"Good afternoon, Simon."
The baroness greeted.
Even if I was anxious in my heart, at this time, the baroness's etiquette was perfect. She didn't lift the corner of her skirt, which was unique to unmarried girls. Those who were married or widowed would be regarded as frivolous if they did so. Choose a more conservative smiling salute, without bending your knees, keep your body straight, put your hands on your belly, and nod your head with a smile on your face.
If you bend your knees, you are facing the superior.
With her status as a baroness and the fact that she is about to inherit the Sika Territory, in the entire Northland, probably only King Aitantine VI can afford such etiquette.
leftover
A few are equal.
Most of them had to salute the baroness.
"Are you nervous?"
After the upper evil spirit closed the door, his tone became relaxed, as if he was chatting with a friend.
This is what it has discovered in the past few days. As long as it maintains the identity of the other party's friend, most of the time, the baroness will relax her vigilance and become friendly.
Of course, don't appear deceitful.
The other party's intelligence is far beyond most people's imagination.
The other party who has read tens of thousands of books has knowledge that ordinary people do not have.
Although not practiced most of the time, it is still amazing.
At least, it can't sit there boringly for more than ten hours to read a book.
On the contrary, its boss has similar interests, but it is also because of the power in the book, far less pure than the baroness in front of him.
"Um."
"It's been a long time since I've faced a situation like this."
"In fact, except when I was married, I have basically never faced such a situation."
Facing the friendly Simon, the baroness did not hide anything.
"Think of them all as pumpkins."
"An insignificant pumpkin."
The upper evil spirit laughed.
"But pumpkins can't be malicious."
The baroness gave a wry smile.
People are always so unconfident when facing areas that they are not good at.
The Baroness is no exception.
If it is understanding and reciting, she is sure to win everyone.
"Trust me, they won't be malicious."
The upper evil spirit promised.
This is not some perfunctory or comforting words, but the truth.
This is the task given to it by its boss, and of course it will not let it fail.
A group of guys with ghostly thoughts but no power.
It's best at dealing with guys like this.
Because when it rubbed these guys on the ground, it was impossible for these guys to resist.
"Um."
Looking at the gentle 'Simon', the baroness nodded slightly.
"Do you want to see Carl?"
Suddenly, the upper evil spirit said.
"You found him?"
asked the baroness in surprise.
"found it."
"However, his condition is not very good."
"He was cursed by the 'Sleep Deer'. Although the 'Sleep Deer' was killed by my lord, the power of the curse has not disappeared, and it has even become more difficult to deal with."
"Kal and the power of the curse have merged into one!"
"Simply put, if my lord forcibly dispels the curse, Karl will die too."
The upper evil spirit explained.
It still has a considerable impression of the skeleton knight who has met several times.
You know, not just anyone is qualified to let him block a gun.
"Can I see him?"
asked the baroness.
"certainly."
"However, you need to be mentally prepared."
The superior evil spirit kindly reminded him.
It knows what kind of person the baroness in front of him is.
In fact, it has seen too many such people around its own boss.
As long as the basic standard of living is maintained, with electricity, internet, mobile phones, and computers, you can spend your whole life in any room.
Of the extremely harmless kind.
This is also the biggest reason why your own boss chooses the opponent.
Because, don't worry about the other party's bad or extra thoughts.
"good!"
The baroness hesitated for a moment before she nodded.
Then, Karl, who was wearing a black full-body armor and a helmet, walked in, behind him were Sergey and Hoff, two young men who had just become the leader of the city guard and the leader of the viscount's mansion.
"grown ups."
After saluting, the two young men stood guard on both sides of the gate like door gods.
Carl, on the other hand, stood at the door and hesitated.
Of course he saw his mother.
Before coming, the two young men also explained a lot.
But…
When he really stood in front of his mother, Karl was still timid.
After all, he has already become a strange appearance.
"Carl?!"
The baroness confirmed that this was really her son after a moment of surprise.
The son who was born when she was fifteen, who was mischievous since childhood, sneaked off to join the patrol at the age of sixteen, never listened to her, and thought he was alone.
Taking two steps forward, the baroness raised her hand to touch Karl's visor.
She did not lift her son's visor.
Because she felt her son trembling again.
That is fear, fear.
Afraid that she would see what he looked like at the moment.
Afraid he lost her.
"Do not worry."
"I am your mother, I know what you think, and I will not force you. Moreover, the curse is not impossible to lift."
said the baroness softly.
Karl wanted to tell his mother that his state had nothing to do with the curse, but he couldn't speak at all, let alone he had lost the ability to speak.
In the end, Karl could only nod his head.
In the next hour or so, the baroness didn't stop talking, and kept narrating what happened to her recently.
Carl listened silently.
The superior evil spirit left the room temporarily knowingly.
It wasn't until the maid came to inform that the afternoon tea party was about to start that the upper evil spirit knocked on the door again.
"Baroness Nord, the afternoon tea party will begin soon."
The upper evil spirit reminded.
"I'm ready."
The baroness opened the door and came out, then, standing in front of the upper evil spirit, looked at the upper evil spirit with pleading eyes, and said, "Simon, can you accompany me? You don't need to walk side by side, You just have to watch me from the corner."
"certainly."
Just in case, the high-level evil spirits need to stay hidden.
Now that there is an invitation from the baroness, it really couldn't be better.
"Very good!"
The baroness jumped with joy, and the other party, who was wearing a dress, walked forward accompanied by the maid.
Sergey and Hoff saluted God Envoy and followed quickly.
Karl stood there without moving, staring at the upper evil spirit, the fire of his soul beating quite complicatedly.
"What's wrong?"
The upper evil spirit asked simply.
"You said that you saved me because you saw my pain and you were willing to bear my pain."
In the way of the undead, Karl communicated with the higher evil spirits.
"Yes, my brother."
"I never mind carrying your pain."
"Whether it's past, present or future."
The upper evil spirit showed that gentle smile again.
"Then take care of my mother for me."
"I don't want her to suffer again."
"In exchange, I will pray to the 'mist' day and night."
Karl replied.
"Call me Lord."
The upper evil spirit reminded.
"I will pray to my Lord day and night, for you and my mother."
After finishing speaking, Carl turned around and walked towards the venue of the afternoon tea party.
Of course he couldn't participate openly.
However, he doesn't mind guarding his mother in the shadows.
If anyone dares to jump out without knowing the fun, he doesn't mind taking the other party to the cemetery to have a heart-to-heart chat, to see if the color of the heart is red or black.
"For me and your mother?"
The higher level evil spirits always felt that this sentence was strange, but they couldn't tell what was so strange.
Then, it immediately found happily that it had found a powerful assistant for the boss.
More importantly, after this tea party, the entire Sika leader will become the back garden of his boss, providing a steady stream of manpower for his boss and alleviating the biggest deficiency of his boss.
At the same time, it began to subconsciously formulate the expansion plan of the 'Mist' Church.
How can a Sika collar match its own boss
Border Morsa.
Atendinoburg, the center of Hokuriku.
Even the entire Hokuriku should have a 'fog'.
Only in this way can you be worthy of your own boss.
I am indeed the most powerful follower of the boss!
The superior evil spirit happily walked towards the scene of the tea party.
If you promise to others, you must keep your promise.
It is not an evil spirit that breaks its promise.
