"Elder, you're going to the Bourne family. Where should I go?" Peter and Dean walked out of the Recruitment Association together. He saw that Dean didn't want him to join the Bourne family, so he asked with a reluctant face.
Dean glanced at him, "Find a job near the Bourne family and wait for me to dispatch you. It's best not to leave the radius of 30 miles from the Bourne family. You should understand the consequences if I can't perceive you."
Peter was secretly shocked. A perception range of 30 miles? He was also a person with excellent perception ability. He could perceive movement from 30 miles away in the wilderness, but his perception wasn't clear. In the Phoenix Main City, which was filled with people, not to mention sensing thirty miles, even locking onto a person who was ten miles away was incomparably difficult. After all, this was not something that could be achieved by simply relying on smell and hearing.
"My Lord, Peter has always been loyal to you. I hope you won't be suspicious of me. I will never betray you. We're on the same boat." Although he was shocked, Peter's reaction wasn't slow, and he hurriedly said with a respectful smile.
Dean indifferently said, "That's for the best. I hope you are a smart person. Even if my identity is leaked, it will be very difficult for the people here to keep me here. You should know how terrifying an avenger hiding in the dark is if I escape."
Peter smiled bitterly in his heart. He naturally knew this. It was because of this that he didn't think of betraying Dean and secretly snitching. After all, if Dean survived then his situation would be dangerous. It was absolutely a thankless task. Moreover, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lord Hong Lian. He couldn't say that he deliberately used a scheme to lure them over. Lord Hong Lian might not believe him and would only think that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.
The two once again went to the Bourne family's residence after hiring a carriage.
Dean asked Peter to wait on the street. He came to the entrance of the manor alone with the application certificate issued by the Recruitment Association. The eight knights looked at him. They obviously remembered Dean. When they saw the Recruitment Association certificate in Dean's hand, they slightly raised their eyebrows. There was a touch of mockery in the corners of their mouths. It seemed that there was another meaning behind it.
"I'm here to apply for a job as a chef. This is the certificate issued by the recruitment association." He handed over the certificate.
The python that was coiled around the knight's shoulder slightly raised its head. Its vertical pupils were staring at Dean. It seemed that it would pounce on him at any time.
The knight was also worried that the serpent on his shoulder would suddenly attack Dean. He reached out and touched the head of the serpent to calm it down. Then he took Dean's certificate and looked at Dean at the same time. He was a little surprised. As a civilian, Dean's face showed no fear. If an ordinary person saw the pets on their body, most of them would have been scared to death.
He didn't think too much about it. His gaze fell on the certificate. He flipped it over and saw the seal on it. It was indeed from the Recruitment Association. He immediately nodded and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to see the butler."
After saying that, he turned around, pushed open the door, and led the way.
Dean followed him into the gate. He looked back to see that the gate was closed by the knights on both sides. His eyes looked through the iron bars and saw Peter on the street. Both of them knew each other's intentions as soon as their eyes met.
Peter nodded slightly and turned away.
Dean retracted his gaze and slowly walked behind the knight in front of him. At the same time, he casually looked at the scenery in the manor.
There weren't many servants in Bourne Manor. Along the way, he saw two old gardeners trimming the landscape trees. There were sprinklers in the middle of the lawn. Some were still spraying while others had water cut off. It was obvious that there was a malfunction in the equipment. It couldn't be compared with the Stantine family. There was a bleak and dilapidated feeling. It seemed that this was a declining aristocratic family.
Over the hillside, Dean saw a forest in front of him. There were several towering buildings behind the trees. They were hundreds of meters high, and the architectural style was inclined towards Gothic. There was a strange gloomy feeling, and it gave people a very quiet feeling.
When they reached the edge of the woods, Dean saw a chubby boy squatting on the grass. He was about five or six years old. He was squatting on the grass and was playing with something. He looked like an ordinary child playing with stones on the side of the road.
When the knight saw the little fatty, he bowed respectfully and greeted, "Young Master Leo."
The little fatty was surprised. He turned around and stood up from the ground. At this time, Dean saw that his hands were covered with blood, very sticky, like bright red pulp. Looking from between his legs, there was a skinned rabbit lying on the ground, the whole body was dripping with blood, the rabbit head was twisted 180 degrees.
Dean slightly frowned as he looked at the little fatty.
The little fatty stared at the knight and Dean. He didn't speak but his eyes were very strange.
The knight felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master, this is the new chef. He will make delicious food for you in a while. I will take him to report to the butler first."
Then he quickened his pace and walked forward.
The little fatty watched them leave. Dean looked back and saw that the little fatty was still staring at their backs.
"Here we are." At this time, the knight's voice came from the front.
Dean looked up. They had arrived in front of a towering building along the gravel path. There was a lot of moss on the ground. It looked like an old building that had been in disrepair for a long time. There was a huge bat pattern on the door. It was making threatening gestures and grinning, revealing its extremely long fangs.
There were two expressionless knights stationed at the door. After the knight explained the purpose of their visit, they opened the door for the two of them.
It was dark inside the door, and the cold air swept out from inside, making Dean feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees. Looking from the side, he clearly saw that the knight's face was a little stiff and unnatural, but he still lifted his foot and walked in.
The light was dim in the cold building. There was only one lit lamp. The flickering light was lonely and cold.
Dean's line of sight was not affected by the darkness. He saw an empty throne above the building. On both sides of the stone pillars stood knights in black armor. Their bodies were almost integrated with the darkness. It was difficult to see them clearly. They stood motionless like stone sculptures.
At this time, a young woman dressed like a maid came from the darkness. Her face was snow-white. There was a kind of soul-stirring beauty. She smiled at the knight who led the way: "Who is this person?"
The knight saw her and hurriedly bowed: "This is the candidate recommended by the Recruitment Association. He is applying for a chef position." He handed over Dean's certificate.
The young woman didn't take it. She just glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Wait here. I'll call the butler."
After saying that, her body seemed to float away. Her footsteps were silent, and there were no ups and downs.
