Beside the bed, Le was carefully making the quilt for Oga, who had already fallen asleep.
When there was a soft knock on the door, the maid pushed the door and came closer, and at the same time took some clothes and put them down.
Le took a look and opened his mouth.
This woman... changed another set of clothes. How many days does she have to change in one night
It's just that after the maid put down her clothes, she nodded and smiled, then turned and left without saying anything... Le hesitated for a moment, then quickly chased after her.
"Wait a moment… "
In front of the door, Le closed the door softly while suppressing his voice.
"Is there something wrong, Miss Le?" You Ye asked indifferently.
"That... uh..." Le hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "That... thank you for allowing us to stay temporarily tonight..."
"If you want to thank you, shouldn't it be better to thank you in person?"
Le opened his mouth, and raised his head to meet the half-smile of the maid.
…
In the room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Luo Qiu's legs were covered with a thin blanket, and there was only a light on beside him.
The book I read is prepared in the study room of this suite, and it is a miscellaneous talk about British folk tales.
When You Ye brought Le in, Boss Luo happened to see the story of Mordred's rebellion.
"Miss Le, do you have anything to do?" Luo Qiu closed the chat, stood up, and put the blanket away.
"Miss Le said, I want to thank you personally, master." You Ye came to Luo Qiu's side and said softly.
He looked at the orc girl, and found that the animal ears on her head were trembling slightly, looking very cramped, so he asked, "Do you like tea, Miss Le?"
"ah?"
Luo Qiu said with a smile: "The tea made by our maid is delicious... You Ye."
As he spoke, Luo Qiu snapped his fingers casually, and on the small round table in the corner of the study, a pair of tea sets quietly appeared... Le was slightly surprised, and what was even more surprising was that these tea sets were familiar to her and were commonly used in the country where she was born. tea set.
"Fruit tea or black tea?" The maid looked at Le and asked with a smile, "There are a lot of fresh fruits in the kitchen, and there are some freshly picked cherries."
"I... just black tea!" Le quickly waved his hand, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, actually!"
"Please sit down, Miss Le." Luo Qiu came to the table, first opened a chair, and then made an invitation gesture.
Le's footsteps suddenly became a little stiff... She had never encountered such a courtesy. In other words, on the farm where she grew up, those who took care of her and Oga were all casual and carefree people.
They will sing and dance around the bonfire, and they will also drink happily during the harvest season. The smell of hops will always be accompanied by the aroma of tulips in the night wind next night.
"Yes... remember your family?"
Le couldn't remember how she sat down, and how she suddenly fell into the memory... It was just such a question, but it brought her back from the beautiful memory to reality.
"I have no family." Le subconsciously said, but then bit his lips, "I have no family except Oga."
While talking, she did not forget to watch the way this beautiful woman who called herself a maid made tea... It was really the way of her motherland.
"How many spoonfuls of sugar do you want?"
"Four… "
The maid clearly received such a request, gently lifted the lace on the sleeve with her left hand, and started sugar cubes with her right hand... She suddenly felt like an ugly duckling in a story in front of these two people.
"Have you figured out how to leave?"
Luo Qiu's question caused Le to temporarily interrupt the wild thoughts in his head, and said quickly: "I will take Oga and leave here early in the morning, and I will definitely not cause any trouble for you..."
"As I said, the reward for finding your brother has already been taken." Luo Qiu has always been very patient, and said tirelessly: "Do you still remember the contract you signed? It has already returned to me. And Your life is also reduced by one month... Of course, you are still young, so you don't feel much. I heard that the lifespan of orcs is longer than ordinary people, so I probably don't feel much."
Le subconsciously said: "I am a mixed race, and my life expectancy is about the same as that of ordinary people..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful... Will the other party be curious about this, and then ask her about her life experience. She, how should she answer.
"If you want to leave, it seems a little troublesome for Ms. Le." Luo Qiu didn't ask, but thought about it and said: "You were captured by orc traffickers, and you don't have any identification documents on you. You may use ordinary means of transportation. No."
Le suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "It's okay, we can sneak into the cargo compartment of the train, so that we don't have to go through so many troublesome inspections, we used to... um."
She quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Luo Qiu thought for a while, opened his palm, and a document appeared, and there was also a mobile phone. He pushed these things in front of Le, "Here is a schedule for the train passing through the subsea tunnel tomorrow. In addition, this mobile phone has The translation software, I hope it can help Miss Le on your return journey."
Le has long suffered from the pain of language barriers. She is aware of modern technological means, and she also thought of the problem of mobile phone translation, but she is penniless and really wants to get these things in this strange foreign country. Illegal or forcible means.
The data and the mobile phone undoubtedly helped her a lot... She was already familiar with this mysterious magician's method of conjuring things out of thin air. Anyway, she knew the rumors about magicians since she was a child. A magical power.
"Why… "
Luo Qiu said: "Just take it as...a little self-satisfaction."
…
She didn't remember how she walked out of the study room, but she remembered that the magician had a gentle smile, and the black tea made by the maid was very sweet.
In the room, Oga was still fast asleep.
Le sat on the edge of the bed, even though he was exhausted to the limit, he still cheered up and began to plan his departure tomorrow with the documents and mobile phone on hand.
…
In the study room, Luo Qiu went back to the place where he read the book and sat down. The maid was just below his legs, sitting on the carpet, like a cat, leaning over his lap.
The skirt is spread out, round, like a rose.
"Master, let them go like this." The maid raised her head.
Luo Qiu looked down and touched her face lightly with his fingers, "Before I left, I wrote a sentence to myself... I was thinking, in a short time, if it is not irresistible, try to do something... it may be a loss Things, pass this stage for now."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand... On his wrist, there was a string of agarwood beads.
"Similar relief?"
Luo Qiu smiled, and reached out to lift the maid's chin, "Enterprises, don't they also do charity?"
"Self-satisfaction?" Miss Maid looked bright.
"Self-realization." Luo Qiu lowered his head, and he began to like the feeling of touching these lips.
After a long time, when we parted, Luo Qiu said softly: "When I'm ready... I'll help you retrieve the body that was placed in heaven."
"Um… "
…
…
On the island, an armed helicopter slowly landed.
The wind was blowing the people who were directing the landing, and their clothes were rattling... Finally, the helicopter came to a complete stop, the hatch opened, and a charming woman in a purple dress lifted her skirt and stepped down.
There's only one of her... the Psychic Witch, Gillian.
At the same time, there were a dozen or so men with guns coming from all around in an instant. The muzzles of these guns, with the exception of no doubt, were all aimed at this spiritual witch.
"I'm just a person who came to visit the prison, so I can't be treated politely." Gillian sighed softly.
At this time, behind a man with a gun, a brown-haired man in a white suit and sunglasses came slowly, "Facing the fifth-ranked spiritual witch on the Witches Most Wanted List of the Magicians Association, I Guess we're polite enough... Ms. Gillian."
"Can I say that this ranking is only due to false accusations?" The witch covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
The man in white said indifferently: "Ms. Gillian, according to Sir Pukins' order, you only have 20 minutes to visit the prison... After 20 minutes, we will close the entrance of the prison regardless of whether you come out or not. Please be careful." time."
The witch smiled and said: "Known as the strongest knight under the Twelve Knights, and also born blind, it can be said that he restrains me from the bottom up... Am I so unpopular with Mr. Lino? "
"Please." The man in white... Linuo turned sideways.
The people with guns also separated into two rows at this time to let the lady pass... She raised her head and glanced ahead. On the hillside of the island, there was an ancient stone castle.
Gillian walked gracefully, like a Persian cat, a scent of violet perfume drifted with the wind, she wanted to go to the castle on the hillside, and whispered.
The wide gate stands majestically,
Columns of solid stone pierce the sky;
Heavenly power is as insignificant as human power,
How can we regard a huge building as a nest
The fortress of steel is majestic and lofty.
"What are you talking about?" Among the people holding guns, one seemed to be in a state of extreme tension. At this time, he shouted loudly, and the finger holding the trigger had already pressed the trigger.
That Mr. Lino stretched out his hand to suppress him. Although he was born blind, his other perceptions are far beyond ordinary people.
"This is one of the passages in "Edinburgh Prison". The character Butler in the prison recited the prison gate when he was refused a visit." Lino said indifferently, "It's not a spell."
"Well... Mr. Lino is also an emotional person."
The witch looked back and smiled, and with a smile, the man who was yelling at him suddenly yelled in horror, and even threw the weapon in his hand to the ground in a panic, screaming: "Snake! Snake!!"
Not only was he shocked, but at this moment he seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing, and his whole body was out of control.
The big knight Lino frowned, and let a hand knife hit the out-of-control man on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious on the ground, and at the same time facing the witch said indifferently: "Ms. Gillian, I don't mind Count your travel time into the visiting time...if you like to stay here."
"I want to take back my compliments."
The witch turned and set off again, only at a slightly faster pace this time.
It took more than half an hour to walk from the landing pad to the castle on the hillside, and everyone had already arrived in front of the castle.
At this time, Lino took out a key worn on a necklace from his neck, walked to the gate of the castle, and inserted the key into the hole in the center of the gate.
The ancient gate then slowly descended... At the entrance, it was pitch black.
"Remember, you only have twenty minutes. That person, at this time, is on the tower on the east wing if there is no accident... Go."
"I strongly request that the 20 minutes be counted from the meeting, not from the time I step here." Ms. Gillian's voice suddenly became flat.
Mr. Lino waved his hand as if he didn't hear it, and a subordinate took out the electronic timer, and after Lino said "Start", he pressed the timer button.
"What a boring and heartless man." The witch glanced resentfully, then lifted her skirt and walked into the gate of the castle.
Lino closed the gate of the castle again and stood in front of it.
He took a deep breath, clasped his hands... as if holding a sword, and stood like this with a serious expression on his face.
"It's the first time I've seen Mr. Lino look so serious..."
The subordinates chatted quietly.
"There is no way to do this. After all, it is closed inside. But a hundred years ago, one person almost paralyzed all the round tables in Great Britain, and even killed five of the Twelve Round Tables. The most vicious knights in history..."
"Can anyone really live that long?"
"I really want to say, I was cursed..."
…
On the spiral staircase, Ms. Ji Lian held an oil lamp in her hand and walked up step by step... This spiral staircase has no end or behind, and only the light shines in the darkness.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Miss Witch reached the top of the tower... The door in front of her was ajar and it was not locked.
She pushed it away.
In the room, there is only the orange light of the candle... The light and shadow are also swaying because of the swaying of the candle. On the bluestone wall, there is a shadow projected.
Ji Lian took a deep breath, looked at the shadow on the wall, was startled, and then turned to look at the shadow itself.
The only window in the tower room.
I saw a black-haired man sitting on the window sill at this time. His hair was black and long, almost falling to the ground, and his hands and feet were shackled at the same time.
He held a small reading book in his hand. Obviously, before the arrival of Miss Witch, he was reading at night, and he was still immersed in the world inside the book.
He still heard the sound, so he looked up... it seemed.
In the interplay of candlelight and moonlight, a thin and pale face like that of an anorexic terminal patient appeared in front of Miss Witch.
She opened her teeth and called softly, "Mordred."
