Barton's largest private estate, Bishop Manor, was quiet and peaceful in the early morning... No, people wearing servant uniforms walked out of the manor to drive away the 'peepers' hidden in the isolation forest.
"No! Don't break my camera..."
Such voices kept coming and going. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"Well, can you at least tell us some news?! When is the postponed wedding date?!"
The servants looked at these guys calmly, shook their heads, and ignored them. The only warning was, 'Don't come close.'
Behind a certain window in the atrium, Riley lowered the curtains, hugged the soft blanket on her chest, and turned around to look at Mr. Bishop who had just woken up.
"Those media people are still out there?" Regardless of how healthy his body's skin looked, he sat up from the bed with weak eyes and asked.
"Well, I probably want to confirm the time of the wedding." Riley walked towards the door of the bedroom, and a servant had already entered with a dining cart.
A sumptuous breakfast and a cup of 'special' nutritious drink were placed on the bed along with the dining table, and pushed towards Bishop who seemed not to get out of bed for a while.
Bishop waved to Riley, "Come~"
Riley is very obedient, and Bishop just likes obedient women. Now, Riley still needs to obey because she hasn't added Bishop to her name yet. Back to the question, when will these two guys get married
It's actually quite helpless. If the original plan had been followed, Riley would have been Mrs. Bishop by now, but Bishop almost died, didn't she? It was rare to go out, and I went to attend a West Side event (Yuri's party). I almost lost my life, and I lay in the hospital like a plant for such a long time. The wedding that was supposed to take place was...
When Riley leaned lightly on Bishop's shoulder, Bishop picked up his nutritional drink and drank it in one gulp. His eyes immediately regained some vitality. According to the time in people's eyes, the dark red connection trembled and broke, and the evil spirit shrouding the entire Bishop Manor was wailing... But don't worry about this, Zach said it long ago, let Bishop lived as long as he could.
"I think I'm a little addicted to this thing~" Bishop raised his eyebrows, shook the empty cup in his hand, turned his head, and sent the fork with food in his hand to Riley on his shoulder, "Open your mouth~ "
Riley was very obedient, but what she had to say was, "So, when will we get married?" To put it bluntly, no, "I don't want to wake up every day and see those shots outside the window. It's so annoying."
"Haha~" Bishop smiled, "I've been thinking recently, well, maybe we should hire a security company, forget about Sadier (Bishop's original security company, ever since the various tragedies at Bishop Manor, they have a very close relationship. Oops), useless waste. How about Aix, Fiona (Mrs. Falcon) mentioned it, you should be able to trust it. How about letting them patrol outside every day to drive away the guys you don’t like~ OK? ~"
"It's okay if you think it's okay." Riley turned her head and gently turned her body to get out of the bed, as if she was going somewhere.
"Ha~ don't leave~ come back." Bishop smiled on the bed, "How about we get married today~ Let's go to the city hall now!"
Riley rolled her eyes at Bishop, "No, I want the ceremony, the wedding dress and the vows." She continued as if she was going somewhere, "I don't want to go to the city hall."
"Ha! Okay. We will do whatever you want~"
He stopped walking as he was going somewhere, and looked at Bishop sideways with his shoulders clasped, "Then when will we get married?"
"Haha~ How long will it take for us to prepare everything you want?"
Riley raised an eyebrow, "A week."
"Then, just one week~" Bishop smiled and patted the bed, "Come back~ Let's finish breakfast first~"
"No~" Riley was disobedient, and gave Bishop one last look with her arched eyebrows, "I have a lot of things to prepare~ I have to hurry up~" and left.
The blanket that was put down was thrown by the door. Someone had already delivered clothes. After putting them on, Riley continued to walk further in the corridor and asked the 'maid' beside her, "Where's Eve?"
'Servant' pointed downward. Riley nodded, and the pink halo began to smudge. In the corridor space, when Riley herself went to the study, the pink figure gathered by the halo, the new Riley, followed the 'maid' down.
In a corridor in the atrium, the corners of the walls were opened and closed by unknown means. Riley walked into the dark space, and the spiral staircase went down. She didn't know how long she had walked, and light appeared in the bottom opening.
Do you still remember that Eve led a group of elementary school students to make a model of the Tower of Babel at Pike Elementary School? The model only shows the outside, welcome to the inside.
Riley leaned forward slightly from the armrest of the ring and looked down into the bottomless depths, "How deep is your laboratory?"
"You asked the wrong question, how high it should be." Eve, no, it's just a butterfly, standing on the wall with a complex circular array imprinted on it, "We are now on the ground floor, on the pedestal."
Riley pursed her lips, not wanting to continue this topic. Who didn't have a history, who didn't carry a legend, "Has it been fixed? Since yesterday, I haven't felt the slight feeling of movement under my feet."
"Well, it's fixed. And I made some minor modifications and opened an entrance in Smith Manor."
"Oh." It's not something Riley cares about. "Thank you. Your tribe came in time." We already know those servants, right? They are all Rimmer, a half-human, half-vampire guy, Eve of tribesmen.
"You're welcome, let's treat it as mutual use." Eve felt very honestly, "It's not easy to find a land protected by evil spirits. It's enough to make this mistake once if your laboratory is left unprotected and attacked by aliens. "What she was talking about should be the lessons learned from the Central Aliens' attack on Rimmer after the Secret Alliance left.
"Oh." Riley seemed a little absent-minded. She leaned against the guardrail and was quiet for a while, then suddenly said, "I was reading the newspaper." The same Riley who was no longer here, in the study.
I don’t know what Eve is thinking, “I’m having breakfast.” Of course, it’s not the butterfly lying on the wall, it’s the model student in Smith Manor.
Riley opened her mouth, curved her lips and smiled. No matter what she was planning to say before, she went off topic, "Where did you learn the ability of the clone? Or, would you rather call it, magic?"
The butterfly flapped its wings and flew around in front of Riley before returning to its original position, "Did you think I would call you a seductress?"
"No." He said very confidently, "I don't think my ability can be imitated. Just like the Siren's 'Resurrection', no one can imitate it. This is the compensation given by the world to us as an incomplete race." An incomplete race ? Yes, two races that were born through the crossbreeding of other races ended up missing half of their gender. Isn’t that incomplete enough
"Well~" Eve's tone was a little surprising, "I didn't expect you to be so self-aware. Yes, Zach is really good at judging people."
Not sure what part of this sentence caused Riley to frown, but said nothing.
Eve continued, "It's a soul walker. At first, it was just some senior magicians trying to reconstruct the process of giving birth to a soul walker. It was like letting lightning hit the same place again. It never succeeded, but unexpectedly discovered the magic of splitting souls. .After becoming Rimmer, haha, the Holy Lord has really put a lot of effort into restricting the souls of vampires. No matter how we split our souls, the blood of the vampires will follow closely, trapping the souls and preventing them from releasing the immortality. The fate of corrosion and imprisonment, so with Rimel’s clone magic.”
Riley blinked and said, "That's it." She didn't seem too impressed. As the saying goes, no one has his own history and no one has his own legend. We are not human, we all have our own experience~
Waving her hands, Riley returned to what she wanted to say, "I was reading the newspaper, and there was a report about the Grand and Allen Funeral Home today."
"Oh." It was Eve's turn not to be interested.
"But I didn't say anything substantial." Riley's voice became softer and she frowned. She didn't know what she was thinking. "I always feel that something is wrong..." She shook her head, "It would be inconvenient if it was a vampire's body. If it is taken over by the police, then Grande's skinchanger can take over. Why should it be made missing? I don't understand."
The butterfly flapped its wings quietly and slowly, showing no intention of answering.
Riley leaned against the guardrail, facing the butterfly, with a serious look on her face, "Don't Grande want to use the police's resources to retaliate against the murderer? Uh, that doesn't make sense! Allen is holding the third Cole The sooner he is found, the better..." Riley paused, pursed her lips, "I can understand how Allen, who was holding the Colt, was not strangled by Grande's people and escaped. But, after that, I don’t understand. Grande neither used the police to convict Allen, nor took the initiative to find Allen, leaving Allen to wander around who is now, uh, just, that’s it Forget it? Leave it alone? Life goes on?"
After being quiet for a long time, the butterfly circled up and down on the wall, turning its head and tail, "Are you asking me?"
Riley was stunned for a moment and glanced around. It was empty and a little cold, "Uh, otherwise."
"I don't care." The butterfly began to move slowly on the wall. It's quite magical. You should rarely see butterflies lying on the wall. That's what cockroaches do. "I've never cared about it either, Toledo. What did he do? Huh. My life experience is that I heard that the guy from Toledo did something special again in the Secret Alliance, and then before you had time to sigh, you heard that he did something special again. After a while, you no longer care about what that guy did, it’s meaningless, just wait until you hear about his deeds next time.”
Riley looked at the butterflies on the wall and frowned, "There is no next time, he is dead. If you don't care about this time, you will have no chance in the future."
"Be careful what you say, Mei Yao. Last time I confirmed that you are still a person who acts with free will. Now, it sounds like you care about someone in Grande. Why, you have been deceiving yourself. You have no free will at all. , are they his men? Do you care so much about his death?"
"Well, I have doubts. I can't figure it out. It has nothing to do with whether I care about the vampire or not." Riley curled her lips and answered.
"Then don't ask me. I have no doubts, and I don't care whether it makes sense or not."
"Your relationship with him confuses me." Riley looked at the butterfly circling faster and faster, shook her head, and sighed. Sometimes taking care of the other person's self-esteem is also a sign of kindness, so she won't force it. "Then, who should I turn to if I want to resolve my doubts? Novelles, Bumi and the others? They are true friends."
"Hmph. If you can find them." The butterfly stopped spinning, probably because the difficult topic was over.
"What's the meaning?"
"The wizard Sam holding the Grande Colt, in their place, someone..." Eve seemed to be avoiding mentioning someone's name completely, so let her go, "Someone's wizard Sam . Do you think this wizard will show up now that someone is gone?"
"Uh, why not..." Riley lost her voice, her face changed, and she nodded, "I understand, Grande may not be able to move around under the attention of the police, so for Zach's revenge, she can only It was done by Nophele and the wizard holding the 'Colt'. And..." Riley shook her head, "Just like the hunters in the middle were thinking of ways to protect the 'Colt', even if it was to protect the The 'Colt' of Grande, Norphele and the Wizard will never appear again to anyone, not even the Wizard Sibella."
As for the last one, 'Even the wizard Sibera', Sibera and Nofei Le are allies, right? So do you think Sam and Noe Fei Le can avenge Zac under Sibella's protection? No. You are overestimating the wizard abilities in Sibella's hands. They are a bunch of parallel wizards who have been abandoned by their families, aren't they? Allowing Sibella to protect 'Colt' is simply causing trouble for Sibella! Can Sibera stop the Sabbat Toledo, which everyone knows is coming and has probably already arrived at Barton? cannot! Sabbat Toledo is not a colonizer, and the laws of Indian blood are useless!
After Riley finished speaking, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Bishop went to the study to find me. I have to concentrate on dealing with him." The pink halo disappeared.
Butterfly, it flaps its wings and seems ready to disappear in pieces.
"Do you really think Zach is dead??" Tam's voice came from all directions, and no one knew where they were.
"Uh, do you care about this too?"
"Of course I care!" The reason was speechless, "I've never seen a guy take something back after giving it away!!" Ha? Uh, oh, by the way, those two bottles of Bruch's blood stored in No. 2's house, "I plan to get them back again sometime!!"
The butterfly flipped the tentacles on its head, "Uh. It's up to you." It shattered and disappeared.
To answer Tam's question, no, Eve doesn't think Zach is really dead. After wandering around there for a long time, we already have the answer. The enchantress Riley has already said it, hasn't she? Why did Grande make Zach disappear? The problem of the corpse can be solved by using the skinchanger. Then, The only good thing about disappearing is that the missing guy has a chance to return... (..)
